Betrayed Book Two - Love and Betrayals Romance SeriesEarlier this year I podcasted my book review of a first book in a series, brought to us by author, Nora Edington. Beginning is the title of Book 1 in the Betrayals Romance Series.  Now… after reading both books in this series, I can tell you Book 2: Betrayed, can stand just fine on its own, meaning you don’t actually have to read Book 1 to enjoy the story in Book 2. However, if you haven’t picked up a copy of Book 1: Beginning, I suggest you get both books now. Because, honestly, why would you want to miss out on any of the sensual desire and arousing fun found in the “Beginning?” Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the story of studious Jenny and successful businessman Ray. The beguiling and passionate relationship between the beautiful and chaste young woman, and the skillful and fascinating older man is simply irresistible! Oh… and I should mention that Jenny is over the age of consent. And if you’re reading these two books, you should be too.  Okay, now for my thoughts about Book 2. In Betrayed, the author fills us in a little about what occurred in Book 1. And this is accomplished by occasionally taking a look back at the past, and bringing the reader up-to-date with the characters in their current situations. I have been anxiously awaiting Book 2, and Betrayed did not disappoint me. Just as in Book 1, the author expertly paces this scintillating romance and presents readers with believable and passionate characters.  Based on the title: Betrayed (and all that word implies), I fully expected to see the relationships formed in Beginnings to be tried and tested. So what happens next in Book 2? You’ll have to read Betrayed to find out… And if you are like me…you may find y yourself looking forward to a Book 3 in this series. Oh…But wait! … Will there be a Book 3? I’ll be sure to keep a look out and let you know if there is a Book 3 on the horizon. Believe it or not, while I was recording this book review podcast episode, the author told me that, YES, there will be a Book 3 in this Love and Betrayals Romance Series! YAY!  Oh I want to be sure to mention the following disclosure provided by the author:“This book was published two years ago as the “Betrayed Love” under the name of R. James. Since then, the story was completely rewritten and re-edited. If you already read this book, I thank you and hope you have enjoyed it.” -Nora EdingtonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Maurice Benard Book Review Podcast - Nothing General About It

Astounding Debut Novel! Alone In The Light is brilliant story-telling at its best! Benjamin Bass has written an astounding debut novel. Alone In The Light is much more than a book...it's a deeply moving, personal experience from which you must recover. Benjamin Bass brings to his readers, complex characters of depth. I believe Alone In The Light has the magnificent potential (and dare I say, the power) to bring the characters, as well as the readers, “together in the light!”  The story of Alone In The Light is told from the perspective of characters, Josh Carpenter and Mary Fischer. Josh is affectionately referred to by the men in his National Guard unit as, “Big Sarge.” Mary is also in the military and meets Josh in Indiana. Everything is pretty much copesetic.  Then Josh’s unit, and Mary, are moved from Indiana and stationed in Camp Wolf, Kuwait.    Let's not minimize the strong message in Alone in the Light. Our VA has failed our military veterans for decades. If our veterans don’t deserve our help, then who does? For Lots More Book Reviews Visit Laura Jay at: BookClubReporter.comVisit Laura Jay on Twitter*Wishing for your own Podcast? That's Awesome!

Alone In The Light - Author: Benjamin W. Bass - Military - Romance Novel

Beginning is a beautifully well-written story. And it has the potential to affect readers emotionally. The characters have strengths and weaknesses with which many readers may identify.  In Nora Edington’s novel, Beginning, we learn Jenny was sheltered by her parents. Now she is a lovely nineteen year old woman. Jenny is an intelligent young woman. At nineteen years old she is diligently studying to take exams for medical school. Yes, Jenny possesses both beauty and brains! Yet, other than one boy who she does not like, Jenny has virtually no experience with boys, never mind men.  But Jenny’s friend, Leah, has invited Jenny to spend the summer with her at a lakeside cottage. Out by the lake, Leah and Jenny meet two handsome brothers, Gary and Ray. Gary is a bit rough around the edges, which makes him a pretty good match for Leah. Ray, however,  becomes instantly taken by the sweet and lovely Jenny.  When Jenny meets Ray, her life as she knows it begins to change. The shadow of naivety begins to disappear as a stunning array of light begins an awakening. This older man, Ray, is not only gorgeous, smart, and successful. He is smitten with Jenny. He quickly recognizes her inexperience. Ray begins to woo Jenny. Jenny is receptive to Ray's advances.  The characters in Beginning are well-drawn and engaging. At times you may dislike Gary, but then he may redeem himself by letting his guard down and allowing us to see another, better side of him. Edington provides us with just the right amount of conflict/resolution/conflict to keep this story moving and on track. Edington skillfully paces the progression of Jenny’s carnal education with Ray. While the author has developed Ray as a sexy hunk of man, we get to see who he really is through his growing love for Jenny. I thoroughly enjoyed Beginning.

My Way To You - Creek Canyon Book 1 - Author: Catherine BybeeBook Club Reporter - Book Review My Way To You is the spectacular beginning of a new book series by Catherine Bybee, Creek Canyon, Book 1. This book is a women’s fiction novel about college age, Parker Sinclair. A devastating wildfire wreaks ruin upon her family’s land. And the passing of their parents, has left Parker to take on the responsibility of raising her younger siblings.   My Way To You is a fascinating novel highlighting the inner strength of a young woman who leaves college in order to raise her younger siblings and manage her parents’ property. This is also the captivating story of a young woman’s inner strength, in the face of seemingly unsurmountable obstacles, to accomplish more than she ever dreamed. To paraphrase from the publisher’s description: “The last thing Parker needs is a mudslide destroying everything she has worked so hard to maintain.” Parker has her work set out for her. As the reader, we are gripped by Parker’s admirable determination to succeed. But soon we are dismayed Parker’s obstinacy might be her undoing, as she is steadfast in her ways. Colin Hudson, the public works supervisor, tries diligently to lend a hand to Parker. Yet, she is distrustful and doesn’t make it easy for Parker to help her.   My Way To You is an absorbing story of a young woman’s determination to succeed. However, the story of Parker also brings something important to the forefront. There are times when accepting help from others, may be the wrong thing to do. However, sometimes it is the only right thing to do. And knowing the difference is essential, if not crucial. I highly recommend My Way to You as a fabulous women’s fiction novel. I am greatly looking forward to the next book in this series.For the full book review and/or to buy the book:  Click hereFor Lots More Book Reviews Visit Laura Jay at: BookClubReporter.comVisit Laura Jay on Twitter*Wishing for your own Podcast?
