A Year in Review: 2018
What, it’s already almost 2019? This year I read a ton of books. Some good, some ok, and some just bad. I Published two more books, and hit the international bestseller list. I am working on my 8th publication, and working on the next in that series.
Whew, when you put it like that it’s quite a bit! If you want to see some of my favorites from the past year, please keep scrolling. I’ve read some great books. The next on my reading list is Rise of the Mystic by Ted Dekker, and Outlander. I’ve never seen the series and I hate reading books after I’ve seen the movies. Books are always better!
So here is to much more happy reading, Happy Holidays, and I want to know what you are reading and what’s next on your list. Please comment!

Copy of A Penny's Worth by Cynthia Austin (REPOST)
Damn, she did it again. The last time I read one of this woman's books I absolutely was sucked in and loved it. This one is even better than the last one! I’ve been a fan of this author since I read her first book, and when this one came out it went right on my reading list. Finally I get to it and it didn’t disappoint. This book exceeded my expectations and then some.
Not to mention the fact that she totally surprised me, didn't see that coming at all! And let me tell you, I'm damn hard to surprise.
Her characters are just so good. Real, conflicted, layered people. Not one dimensional bits of fluff that I've read in other books. She does a brilliant job creating this world and the people that live in it.
With characters that are just amazing and layered and real, a white knuckle ending and a fantastic love story in between, it’s got it all. Absolutely loved to hate Ezra and get annoyed with Sara and saying “Omg!” Out loud while reading. A can’t put it down -fantastic book.
Check it out on Amazon here.

Texas Jewel by Melissa Alexia
Those of you that know me, or follow my blog, you know that I don’t often post books that I don’t care for. But this one… let’s let the review speak for itself.
First of all, I am from Texas and It really bothered me that this character is supposed to be representing us down here. We have a hard enough time with the rest of the world thinking we are all bow-legged country folk that chew straw and ride horses to work as it is, without this crap.
But let me back up a touch. When I opened this book I had high hopes, sounded like a nice chick-lit style suspense. It was disappointing when it fell flat right away. While reading this, I got lost and confused so many times. I found myself flipping back and re-reading, thinking I’d missed something. I didn’t miss anything, it was just that confusing to read. When the plot has good bones, it’s terribly frustrating to see it fall so short. My issues were with a very unlikable main character, casual drug use, unrealistic plot, and racism.
Yes, I said it, Racism. When the main character assumes that the person that is kidnapping her ( and the “kidnapping” is questionable) is Indian… that’s messed up. American Indian. I quote:
“So here were my options: A. Go with a pack of wild Indians, which I assumed they were since I was apparently being bartered with…”
NO WORDS. I was forced to close the book. This, the dope smoking, the fact that the main character is supposed to be virginal and she wants to dry hump (and actually does at one point) every man she meets is eye rolling. Not realistic.
But, don’t let me sway you, please pick it up and read it for yourself.

The Sound of Wolves by Elle Marlow
The Master of Western Romance does it again in her newest book, the conclusion to her Native Brides series. This one is a little more graphic, a little more sexy, and just as good, if not better than all of Marlow’s works. I’ve never been disappointed reading one of her books.
One of the things that I love about Western Romance is that it really takes me away. Thrown back in time to a gritty, rough, dirty way of life. Women were either delicate and genteel or forced to be tough as hell in the old west, and Marlow never fails to drop me right into a story worthy of True Grit.
Speaking of True Grit, Christine reminded me of young Mattie Ross. Her rough around the edges, but smart as a whip way and no nonsense way echoed the classic character in nothing less than a terrific style.
Nothing less than fantastic. I’ve loved every book that I’ve ready by Elle Marlow, and this one is no different. I have never cared for historical romance, but I love these books.

I, Avatar by Heather Harrison
How often have I read a book and when I reached the end said, damn that book was just way to short… I’ll give you a hint… almost never. Most o f the time I read a book and by the end I’m satisfied… or the book was way to long and I’m just glad to be done. This short story begs to be a full length novel, hell, I’m begging.
Please make this a novel!
The concept here is nothing short of genius. Heather Harrison does it again, a twist on horror, sci-fi, and drama all rolled into one tasty nugget of a story that leave you begging for more. If you have followed my reviews, you know by now that I don’t give away spoilers or content. Can’t give it away, I beg you to read this one if you are a fan of these genres. I’m not a fan of sci-fi, but I adore stories that are just twisted enough to make me think and be different. I tire of the same tale told or the umpteenth time.
Fresh and just damn, I loved it. Available on Amazon.
