Book Description

Celia is in desperate need of a change--a change of scenery, a change of pace, and a complete redo of all relationships. Not knowing what else to do, she opens a map, closes her eyes, and lets fate decide her future. Then she packs her meager belongings and buys a one-way ticket to a little town on the fringes of Oregon's Deschutes National Forest called Sisters. She's wanted a family for years. Will she find one in Sisters? 

What Celia doesn't plan to find is a strange Chinese woman whose meddling ways keep throwing her in the path of a handsome, but reserved, forest ranger. But no matter how kind or dependable Silas seems to be, there are some things in Celia's past that neither of them can escape, and this time, the damage might be too much to mend.

Book Review

Given the sad, sad back stories of both the main characters, one would expect this book to be dreary. However the author does a good job of keeping things light, and interesting. This is the second book in the series Power of the Matchmaker which is written by 12 different authors. So it was interesting to see Pearl's character back in the book after the first novella which dealt with her own individual story. Celia and Silas both have issues but manage to get through the worst life throws at them with fortitude. It's endearing to see how they make their way towards each other with baby steps.

Book Description

Her mother slowly dying in a poisonous plot of power.
An ancient instrument of peace threatening ultimate destruction.
A determined brainiac demanding secrets and smart enough to uncover them.

Piper Akins has lived her entire life in the clutches of an evil cult and wants to run away. But with her uncle’s double cross and her mother on her deathbed, she has no choice but to do as the cult demands and search for the supposed magical trumpet of King Tut.

Thanks to an unknown but powerful father, Piper is immune to the trumpet’s effects. But she’s not immune to the charms of Soul Warrior Math, who believes she’s working with him not against him. 

Math might be the smartest warrior in the force, but he wants to be respected for his physical prowess. The only way to prove this is to discover Piper’s secrets, find the missing trumpet of peace, and defeat the evil cult. When Piper tricks him, he realizes he’s failed on all counts.

While Piper and Math circle around each other, pretending one thing, believing another, the threat grows. Her mother will certainly die if Piper doesn’t betray her growing love for Math. And Math must offer more than muscles and brains to win Piper over. He must offer his heart.

But can both learn to trust each other in time to stop mankind’s annihilation?

Book Review

I must confess that I was expecting Piper to play the trumpet all through the book like Aria did in the previous book with the Trumpet of War. However the story line here is very different and way more fun. Piper goes to her Uncle's pawn shop to retrieve the trumpet which has been smuggled in to the country on behalf of the Order of Crucis. Only to find her Uncle trying to double cross the Order by selling it to someone else. Only thing is, they steal the trumpet and walk out with one playing the trumpet and putting everyone to sleep.

Everyone but Piper. Now she knows the head of the Order Aaron will never let her hear the end of it should she reveal that she had not fallen asleep. Now the Soul Warriors show up at the pawn shop and she's forced to reveal that detail to Aaron as well, who decides she needs to keep them distracted while the Order retrieves the trumpet from the thieves. The only reason she's doing this is so that she can help cure her mother and take her away. Escape from Math, the reanimated stone warrior is not going to be quite as easy.

Forced to work together Piper falls hard for Math, but then she needs to bring the trumpet to Aaron. Will Math get over her betrayal? Will they be able to survive the fight against the members of the Order? And most importantly, will Piper escape a fate worse than death by being tired eternally to do Aaron's bidding in Pi Day? If you still don't want to read this book to find out, you obviously are strolling the wrong genre aisle!

Book Description

Her grandfather kidnapped.
An ancient instrument of death in her hands.
A warrior from the past determined to stop her.

When sixteen-year-old Aria York loses her parents, she thinks nothing worse can happen. Then her grandfather is kidnapped by a mysterious Egyptian cult and she is being hunted by two competing sects. Both want King Tut’s trumpet of war and will kill to obtain the legendary instrument. 

When Aria plays the magical trumpet she forgets her grief. Instead, triumph, greed and anger flow through her veins. When chaos erupts in San Francisco as a direct result, she realizes she must trust a tortured warrior even though he demands she hand over the trumpet or risk enveloping the world in war. 

Falcon comes from the past with a goal to save the future. He makes a deal with Aria to help save her grandfather, risking his quest by involving the girl and jeopardizing his heart.

Aria wants to believe him, but knows there’s something even bigger at stake. A secret so powerful neither teen understands the implications. As each precious hour passes, she’s forced to ask: Is she playing the trumpet or is the trumpet playing her?

Book Review

Falcon is one of the Xanders who was reanimated in the first book of the series. It doesn't matter too much if you haven't read the first book in terms of following the story in this one. You can still understand what's happening all throughout, but it does give a nice sense of continuity if you read the first book.

Aria (like her musical name) is pulled by the power of the trumpet of war. As she plays the trumpet she forgets the real world and is sucked in to a place where only the trumpet's music and she exist. It's only when she quits playing that she realizes that she's inciting riots and worse by releasing the magic of the music.

Falcon was addicted to the trumpet in a previous life, and he doesn't want Aria to struggle like he did. He's trying to save her, despite herself, and they both have to fight the cult that is throwing temptation her way. Can they survive the chaos unleashed when Aria plays the trumpet of war?
OMG what a sequel! I'm still feeling the rush of riding on the top of the bus. Yes I would totally recommend this book and probably this whole series, I know I can't wait to read the next book.

Book Description

An ancient Egyptian amulet.
A pharaoh’s soul inside demanding she obey.
A double cross that ends with a curse.

On her first heist to steal an ancient Egyptian amulet, sixteen-year-old Olivia inadvertently receives the soul of King Tut…and the deadly curse that comes with it. And Olivia’s not alone at the museum.

A member of a secret society, Xander believes it’s his place to inherit King Tut’s soul and justly rule. He knows nothing about the society’s evil plan to control the world or the curse. Now, he must deal with the female thief who stole the amulet.

When the two teens find themselves up against the secret society, they reluctantly join forces and must figure out how to end the curse before it turns deadly. On the run and unable to touch because of the curse, Olivia and Xander develop a connection during their quest. 

As the mystery surrounding the amulet unfolds, Olivia and Xander fall for each other. But is love enough to save them and the world from destruction? 

Book Review

Olivia is struggling to survive and she needs to do what she is told to do to keep her young friends safe. Even if the task is stealing a precious artifact from the museum. Trouble is, it's not just any artifact and she's not the only one trying to steal it.
Xander has been brought up with the belief that he is special and that he will have the power of the soul of King Tut residing in him. So it's a major shock when he's being put through the ceremony only to have Olivia steal both the artifact and the power.
Now Olivia needs to run and hide, and Xander has been cast aside. Can the two of them trust each other enough to work together, and what exactly can they do to ensure that the hidden society doesn't cause more harm than it already has?
Fantastic YA read. Thoroughly enjoyed the story. The action is seamless, the thrill follow each other and the characters are by turns vulnerable and powerful. You find yourself rooting for them to get through the challenges they face.

Book Description

Running from hostile Indians attacking Salina, Kansas in 1862, feisty Kizzie Atwell, Grandma Mary’s oldest grandchild, runs into freighter Leander Jones traveling the Smoky Hill Trail. He is as interested in her as his stallion is in her mare. The two join forces to prevent the Fort Riley Army captain from requisitioning their beloved horses for the cavalry. Avoiding bushwhackers and fighting off a thieving bullwhacker binds their bargain. 

In 1865, at the victory dance held at Fort Riley to celebrate the end of the Civil War, Kizzie is asked to participate in a fund-raiser to aid the Sanitary Commission helping injured and sick soldiers. It involves chaste sweetheart kisses in exchange for tickets purchased by officers and guests. As a contract freighter for the Army, Leander is invited. Much to Leander’s chagrin, before his chance to claim his kiss, Kizzie’s uncle steps in and puts an end to the kissing game. 

Is Leander out of luck, or will the bargain Kizzie and Leander made three years earlier to save their horses lead to a more romantic bargain sealed with a kiss?

Book Review

In this historical western adventure we meet Kizzie and Leander Jones. Kizzie's family is under threat of an Indian attack and she runs away from the family wagons on her horse Sugarcone to warn her father and uncle. So that they can come back and protect the family. She has never been a proper girlie girl and prefer to wear her younger brothers trousers when riding her horse. A particularly nasty incident with a low life has her rethinking her bold plan, but Leander shows up in time to rescue her and while it rankles her at the time, she's glad for his help. When Thunder, Leander's horse goes after her mare, she's about ready to throw a fit. Unfortunately the Army wants horses and if she wants to keep Sugarcone, she will have to breed her with Thunder. What she doesn't understand is Leander's request to visit their farm as stud fees. While Sugarcone is the excuse he has, Kizzie is very much the reason for his visits.

The state science fair is coming up and Avery decides to use her broken heart as the topic of her experiment. She’s going to find the cure. By forcing herself to experience the seven stages of grief through a series of social tests, she believes she will be able to get over Aiden Kennedy and make herself ready to love again. But she can’t do this experiment alone, and her partner (ex partner!) is the one who broke her heart.

Avery finds the solution to her troubles in the form of Aiden’s older brother Grayson. The gorgeous womanizer is about to be kicked off the school basketball team for failing physics. He’s in need of a good tutor and some serious extra credit. But when Avery recruits the lovable Grayson to be her “objective outside observer,” she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for, because Grayson has a theory of his own: Avery doesn’t need to grieve. She needs to live. And if there’s one thing Grayson Kennedy is good at, it’s living life to the fullest.
