Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired
[The only reason this book did not get a five star from me is because the first three chapters seemed to drag or me. I almost put the book down because it was moving so slow for me, setting up the backstory ad Reece���s history, but I pushed through it and I was rewarded.]
Thank you for this honest and detailed review!

The Legacy of the Key by S.L. Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was an amazing book for me, mostly because I love alien conspiracy theories, and this book explained many of them in its own way. It was a very detailed book, and the descriptions of the land of Pemda were breathtaking. I would have loved to have truly seen what S. L. Morgan was describing for Reece because it would have been a sight to see.

The characters are very well-rounded and unforgettable���even the minor ones. Levi, Harrison, and Reece���

Reece leaves Earth only to lose herself?
Ha! I beg to differ! Our Heroine FINDS herself and much, much more!
Ancient Guardians: The Awakening (Book 3, Ancient Guardians Series)
Excerpt:
Book 3, “The Awakening” excerpt….
Here we go….
…….Enter Reece and Harrison.
���I understand completely, Harrison.” Reece answered him,” I���ll meet you at the stables. Please have Javian saddle Arrow for me.��� She responded determinedly.
Harrison chuckled in disbelief, ���Arrow? Absolutely not! Have you lost your mind?���
“Lost my mind? Quite the opposite!” Reece answered as her eyes narrowed at Harrison in reproach. ���Prepare Arrow. Over the last two weeks, I���ve been watching Levi work with him. I can see that he���s ready to ride now.���
���Reece, do you realize the stubbornness of that young horse? The trouble he is giving Levi? He���s worse then Areion ever was. There is no way������
���Harrison,��� Reece interrupted, ���If you don���t tell Javian to saddle Arrow for me, I will find a way to do it myself!��� she demanded.
Harrison���s eyes narrowed, ���You sound just like your intended husband.��� He grinned, ���I will meet you at the stables, and after this, I will face my cousin���s wrath when and if we encounter him.
Reece walked down to where Jasmeen was organizing the clothes her closet. ���I need to change.��� she said as she plucked her riding outfit off of her hanger.
Jasmeen located the rest of the riding ensemble and quickly helped Reece change into it.
Once she was dressed and ready to ride, Reece walked to the stables where Harrison waited with Javian. ���Miss Bryant, please. I have already sent for another horse.��� Javian pleaded. ���The horse should be here within the next ten minutes. I am uncomfortable with you riding Arrow; Master Levi needs more time to guarantee that you will be safe riding him.���
Reece smiled as she pet Arrow on his muscular neck. ���I appreciate your concern, Javian; however, Arrow and I will be just fine.��� Reece answered as she noticed the new black saddle strapped to her stallion. ���Besides, he���s already saddled.���
Harrison crossed his arms and leaned against the fence. ���Javian, you waste your time attempting to convince her otherwise. Don���t worry, my friend,��� he clapped Javian on the shoulder, ���Levi will have both our heads if anything were to happen to Reece. However, she will not budge with her demands.��� He pushed himself off the fence, ���I myself should like to see how this stallion responds to her mastering him.��� he said with a smirk.
Reece exhaled, ���I���ll be fine, and I will personally take the blame if anything happens.��� She looked at Javian. ���Harrison will be with me for the entire ride. I am sure Saracen will help to keep Arrow in line as well.���
She grabbed Arrow���s reins, and before she could step into the stirrup, Harrison stopped her.
���Reece, before you mount up, you need to know that guardian horses are much different than the others you have ridden.���
���Harrison, I have already gone through this with Levi,��� she stated confidently, ���and I���ve already ridden, or should I say, mastered, Areion.���
���Alone?��� Harrison questioned.
���No, Levi was with me.���
���There is a monumental difference, Reece. Levi was with you.��� Harrison rested his arm over Arrow���s saddle. ���Now, from the moment you step into that stirrup, you must mentally give yourself over to Arrow. If he approves of you mastering him, well then, Javian and I here���will not have to answer with our lives to Levi this evening. If not������
���If not? Maybe you shouldn���t put those thoughts in my head right before I get on the horse, Harrison.��� Reece arched her brow at him.
Harrison sighed. ���Good point.���
Reece turned, and without hesitation, stepped into the stirrup and swung her leg over the massive stallion���s back and settled into the saddle. She reached for the reins and leaned over to pet Arrow���s firm neck.
It appeared as if everyone had frozen in place, except for Arrow who immediately brought his head up and then turned his head back to study Reece. Harrison���s eyes were intense as he stared at the young horse, and Reece could feel the tension radiating off of Javian as he watched Arrow. The men stood on each side of the horse, ready and waiting for whatever Arrow���s response may be to Reece wanting to master him.
���Hello, Arrow. How���s my boy? I���ve missed you!��� Reece greeted the stallion cheerfully.
Arrow jerked his head out, stomped his feet and grunted in response. Harrison sighed in relief while Javian reached out to a fence post for support. Reece could not help but to burst into laughter at the site of the two men.
She reached out and patted Arrow on his strong, powerful shoulder, ���These men stress out way too much, don���t you think? Now, let���s go find your dad!��� Reece said as she directed the horse away from the stables.
Harrison shook his head, ���You have got to be kidding me. Amazing!���
Javian chuckled. ���I���ve never seen anything like it. This horse has always been fond of Miss Bryant in a way that Master Levi and I could never understand.���
Harrison hoisted himself up on Saracen. ���Well, Arrow,��� he said as he directed Saracen over to where Arrow stood gallantly, ���show me what you got, boy!���
With that, both stallions set out at a rapid pace away from the palace grounds.

ANOTHER COPYRIGHT VIOLATION! The Ancient Guardians: The Legacy Of The Key by Leslie Dimples on Prezi
https://prezi.com/vljgj28axijr/the-ancient-guardians-the-legacy-of-the-key/
I have no idea how I stumbled across this site, but I see where my book as yet again been a victim of copyright violation!
Authors BEWARE! Google your books titles….this is so disheartening, I really have no words to explain how upsetting this is!
Now, time to contact this ‘so-called’ writer and inform them of copyright laws!
January 15, 2015
“Chivalry never died the gentlemen in most men did…,” One of my greatest enjoyments of writing this lifestyle in my books.
Call me an old fashioned romantic at heart, it’s who I am. When deciding to take a risk (in our current world and how most author’s write romance these days) I KNEW bringing back the ‘old fashion romamce’ was a risk. It would not be believable to most readers, because we no longer live in an generation where men treat their love interest above themselves. I know, I’ve seen it. The true gentleman no longer exists, I wanted to bring him back.
This is why I feel compelled to tell you why the men treat women in the Ancient Guardians Novel series with high respect.
I was more than thrilled, burdened, to bring back the age where men treated women above their own selfish needs.
When a woman walks into a room, the men will always rise to honorably acknowledge her.
This is somewhat awkward for Reece Bryant being from modern day Earth. She is far from understanding these traditions. But she quickly appreciates them.
Also, being offered a man’s arm to be escorted throughout the grand palace and also in the extravagant gardens. Again, Reece finds this gesture quite odd, but again, she appreciates it. She soon vocalizes her gratitude for the men treating her with dignity and respect.
Enter Levi, the emperor’s son. I tried with everything that I was to make him somewhat arrogant with the title he held in his world. Forcing the character of Levi to act in such a way, made my writing flat and unbelievable. So it was time to erase and REWRITE This was not who Levi Oxley was/is. He is a gentleman and raised by honorable parents. This hasn’t come without a price for him either. Levi’s fine manners and the way he selflessly treats his love interest, has had him put in the ‘Sappy Romantic’ category with a few reviewers. Fortunately, with Levi’s supreme confidence on how he should treat a lady, if one were to insult his behavior, it would never bother him.
His favorite ‘pet name,’ for his love interest is an extremely ‘old fashioned’ romantic way of referring to her. He has been criticized for using the term, ‘Love and ‘my love’ repeatedly to his love interest. Now, don’t get me wrong, if my husband referred to me as such I’d look at him like he was insane. But my husband lives in a generation where that term for a love interest is almost non existent. And of course, he’s not Levi.
This is what draws me so much to Levi’s character. If you’ll notice in the books, Levi only refers to his love interest with these ‘pet names’ when he is alone with her.
Respectfully, in scenes where he his in the company of others, he uses his love interest’s ‘proper’ name.
Then, we have Harrison. A gentleman as well. However, Harrison also has a way of playing both sides. He’s witty, sarcastic and loves to go outside of the rules whenever he can. It’s also why I love writing his character, he gives balance to how men treat women in the enchanting dimension of Pemdas.
With all this said…
Yes, Ancient Guardians falls into a Romance genre as well as fantasy and Sci-Fi. Focusing on the romance of this series, it’s not a romance most of us are accustom to, it’s an Old Fashioned Romance and I love writing this series for this reason alone.
If I were Reece, and brought into Pemdas, I wouldn’t want to return to Earth either, regardless of my career path I chose.
So with all of this said, if you enjoy classic, clean and old fashion romance. Men who treat women with profound respect, you may just enjoy this new series.
The best part…it’s FREE on ALL ereading sites so that you can give a test run!
Ancient Guardians: The Legacy of the Key (Book 1) Available for FREE
Ancient Guardians: The Uninvited (Book 2) $2.99 on all ereading sites.
Happy Reading,

I BEG of you, please read.
Copy and Share: Hospice Nurse, Pam Morgan Pam Morgan a hospice nurse only Angels in Heaven could be.
Please like and share the link above for a,woman that is more than deserving for this gift.
Pam Morgan. There is none more deserving of your support! Let me give you a personal example: Pam Morgan is a hospice nurse. She has worn out more than one vehicle at her own expense to care for those who are close to departing this world. On more than one occasion, I’ve witnessed her have to stop everything… leave her loved ones, because her patient is no longer able to survive in our world. She leaves. A few hours later she returns and I was compelled to ask, “Are you okay? Is the family okay?”
After my questions, she smiles, hugs me and says, “They will be fine.”
It’s not enough for me, I can’t understand the work my Mom does. I inquire further, “How are they fine? They just lost a loved one. How can you do a job like this?”
My Mother n law sits back and nods her head in understanding. “It’s never easy,” she replies, “But when their family can’t be in the room as their precious loved one dies, I am there for that reason. To consult them, to help them and most of all, to help their loved on pass on in peace.”
“How does anyone do that?” I have questioned her.
She smiles, “Well in many different ways. I’ve held hands over the bed of the passing loved one and prayer with them. In the times when the family could not be in the same room, leaving their loved one in my care as they passed on, their loved one has reached for my hand and said, ‘Sing to me, Nurse Pam.” She looked at me with a peaceful smile, “I get this often and I happily hold their hand and start singing songs that praise God. They simply smile and have soon after left our world.”
At a moments notice my Mom will leave her husband, Gary Morgan������ her sons, Jason Morgan������ Shane Morgan������ Derek Morgan������ and daughters me and Sylvia Morgan������ to do a job that, in my opinion, only God’s Angel’s can do. Is she deserving of a new vehicle? In my opinion, she is deserving of that and far more. Even if awards don’t come to her on Earth, I know they await her in Heaven. Until then, please like, share and help my sweet Mom win a gift for what she does for others! Thank you.
