From Goodreads: Solomon is broken. Well, that is what her ex-husband told her numerous times after discovering she could not conceive. After catching her husband in bed with another woman, she returns to her hometown, Rock Hill, SC, and starts her life over as a medical biller hell bent to remain in her safe little bubble, ruled by her Siamese cat, Izzy.
Everything is smooth sailing in her protective bubble. Solomon is content to cut off her man-dar switch and live a life without worrying about a man breaking her heart...until a mysterious new neighbor moves into the house that has been vacant since her elderly neighbor passed away four years ago. Then a new physician starting at her office has his sights on her.
Both men know the secret behind Solomon's broken life. Will she be able to handle the news?
My Review:
I really got into the book from the first chapter. Soloman is a woman who believes she is not worthy of the love she should have gotten from her previous marriage when infact she is stronger then she knows. When the two men Xavier and Drake come into her life Solomon has to trust in herself that she is worthy of love and being more then just a mere human when she is something more special then she gives herself credit for. I really love this storyline because it brings out all my favorite paranormal genre (shapeshifters,vampires & the fallen). Broken is a story of love, loss & strength and a story that once you start one the 1st page you will not want to put it down. Once I was deep into the story I didn't want it to end and was sad to see these characters leave. I am excited to see more from this wonderful author.
Winter Sky believes she is everything ordinary . . . until she is kissed by Alex Stormhold.
As seer of Stormhold Coven, Alex is sworn to be Winter’s protector against the darkness that hunts her. Violently thrust into a magickal realm she always thought impossible, she stumbles upon a disturbing secret of her own.
Will love prove thicker than magick?
***My Review***
DarkSpell...
I really liked the Story I have been so wrapped up in BD1 and reading my Twilights to get read for the night I had not been paying much attention to my other Paranormal stories and Darkspell did that for me. I had orginally read the first couple of chapters from the author's website and she generously allowed me to read the book for review. First all one thing I really loved about this book is the drawings in between chapters that gave the book a different feel that the other paranormal books don't have. Two I did read this book as a E-Book however I will be getting it as a paperbook just because of the drawing and also because I want my niece to read it I know she will love it so much. The Story of Winter and Alex is a wonderful innocent story of new love and step's a Winter is willing to take to keep that love. This wasn't even about a physical attraction more of emotional love that is sweet and pure and what falling in love with some should be about. I see Winnie as a strong girl that has lost her father at a young age and is the big sister in the family and instead of teens that can't stand their lil brothers she does get fustrated with them but loves them whole hartedly. This was one of those stories where you want peace and quiet just so you can read it with the drawing and also the wonderful writing of Elizabeth Mueller I could see in mind what is going on in the story and the end story was very good I was pretty suprised by it myself and was "Ok I didn't see that coming!". I don't want to give away any spoilers just because this is a book that you have read for yourself and enjoy Winter and Alex story. I cannot wait to see more stories from this author.
I have books that I have read and have not posted to my blog so here goes please see some books that I have read and recommend to all my fellow book lovers
Ethan Wate thought he was getting used to the strange, impossible events happening in Gatlin, his small Southern town. But now that Ethan and Lena have returned home, strange and impossible have taken on new meanings. Swarms of locusts, record-breaking heat, and devastating storms ravage Gatlin as Ethan and Lena struggle to understand the impact of Lena's Claiming. Even Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals is affected - and their abilities begin to dangerously misfire. As time passes, one question becomes clear: What - or who - will need to be sacrificed to save Gatlin? For Ethan, the chaos is a frightening but welcome distraction. He's being haunted in his dreams again, but this time it isn't by Lena - and whatever is haunting him is following him out of his dreams and into his everyday life. Even worse, Ethan is gradually losing pieces of himself - forgetting names, phone numbers, even memories. He doesn't know why, and most days he's too afraid to ask.
Sometimes there isn't just one answer or one choice. Sometimes there's no going back. And this time there won't be a happy ending.
My review
I so loved this book!!! I have been waiting and waiting for this book to come out and finally got it and got to read it. Lena and Ethan love is so sweet and even thou it hurts him literlly to touch her Ethan does and when his town is changing and things are not the same the lubbers have destroyed the grass and everything green the heat is so bad nobody is feeling right. The Casters powers are outta wack Olivia is stuck in the tunnels because of what she has done. Marian is in trouble with the Order, Link is learning to be a Linkubus with the help of Macon back from the the dead. Amma has gone dark to where Ethan cannot reach her and Ethan just wants it back to normal when he doesn't even know what normal is anymore. Lena and Ethan have to pull all the people that are important to them to figure out how to save the town and themselfs. Beautiful Chaos is a funny and sad and very worth reading. Kami Garcia has done it again the ending will suprise you cause it suprised me.
I got this book as a loan for my Kindle and when I started reading it I could not put it down.
From Goodreads: After witnessing the horrific murder that was committed by her fiancé just days before their wedding, Aimee immediately flees from the life she knows. Lost in Greece, Aimee is inevitably and uncontrollably thrust into a supernatural world where she is terrified to learn what she really is. Crouching at every corner lies a new confusing memory that torments her from her previous life, while her feelings of love cease to die, but awaken more deeply for the mysteriously handsome stranger, who wants to rescue her. Battling the man, who she mistakenly still loves is a bigger conquest than imagined, but can she free her captured thoughts from the man who owns her? Facing the ultimate decision, to lose all humanity by becoming the weapon the Rogues desire most, or to destroy the creation of love. Can Aimee make the sacrifices needed to overcome deceit, love and her power that is irrepressibly blood thirsty?
My Review:
Amiee thought she knew everything about her life but while in greece about to get married Amiee see's her fiancee kill her best friend and after that Amiee realizes all is not what it seems and runs away. While Amiee hides from her fiancee and his family in Greece she meets up with Alec while we see Amiee hiding her attraction to him she is also learning that what she was told was not true. With the help of Alec & Iva, Amiee is able to hide from her fiancee and also learns about herself and her real parents and the secret community that Amiee was born into. While Amiee memories start coming back to her she also has to start dealing with her feeling for Alec and who she was before she was taken and who she is now. Amiee is a very headstrong person and discovers who her true self is and what she needs to do protect those who love her and the man she truly loves.
I recommend this book because it is fast past, funny and Amiee is a woman that has a true heart to fight for what she is!!

Experience this journey with Bobby and Annie and feel the power of true determination, and what God can do if you just let him into your heart....
I gave Saving Bobby and 4 outta of 5 stars because it is a story that I like and it was sweet and endering book.
Bobby is a 13 year old boy that doesnt have a lot of family and when his mother is sent the to the hospital all Bobby could think is why me? As a person that has lost her father and has lost many family and friends to cancer I knew what Bobby was feeling. Every where Bobby goes he is told by everyone that they will pray for his mom but for Bobby at this point he is questioning why his mom and not him. When one night at his Uncle Tony house Bobby gets it in his dead to find someone to save his mom since he thinks the doctors are not doing enough to save her. As Bobby sneaks out of Tony house one night and start his search to fine another hospital or doctor to help his mom he means Annie a girl he thinks might look familer to him but she is willing to help him find someone to help his mother. So with the help of Annie Bobby is on a mission to find someone and along the way Bobby meet people that help him to realize that he needs to put his faith in God and trust that God knows what he is doing. As a person that believes strongly in God I have always believe to put your problems in God and he will take care of it. It takes many people along the way to convince Bobby that he needs to do that. Reading Saving Bobby did make me cry & smile and the ending was sweet and I believe the true meaning of this story is when something bad happens that praying really does work and God is out there listening you just have to talk to him.

Thank You Michelle for allowing me to be on your Blog Tour:
This is a Q & A I did with Michelle
1} Where did you do your research on the “Secret Society”?
I love the history of secret societies in the US. I’ve probably watched every single TV show about the Masons. Although I didn’t do specific research into any one society, I made sure to use symbols, legends, secrets, and underground lairs in the book.
2} How did you come up with the story of Seraphina?
The ideas originally came from a conversation I had with my sister about Time Travel. For almost a year, I played with the story and characters in my head. It was just something I did for fun, as a creative outlet to my everyday life.
3} What do you think will be Seraphina most greatest strength?
I like this question. Seraphina is very determined and focused. She tries very hard to be tough and put on a strong facade. Underneath, she is still very unsure about herself. I think she’s stronger than she realizes. She’s got a lot of insecurities that often lead her down the wrong road. She’s not perfect and often makes things worse for herself. She’s a great main character because she’s realistic and relatable.
4} What is your the one thing you have to have when you write?
There were actually three things that were very important to me during the writing process: the internet, meditation time, and sleep.
When I finally wrote this book, I was easily consumed by the internet, looking at location photos, or inspirational photos for scenes. The best way to make sure something reads real is to have great inspiration.
Before writing, I would meditate on each scene to figure out the best way for each chapter to play out. Visualization was really important. When I was satisfied with the outcome, I’d rush to my computer and start typing.
I mediated on the climax scene of the book for a few months and was never quite happy with it. Finally, one night I woke up at 3 am in the morning with everything in my head. I stayed up for hours writing out the final chapters in long hand. My husband thought I was crazy, but it worked. Several ideas came to me in my sleep.
5} Best way to read paper or Ebook?
I’m in transition. I read e-books on my Kindle right now but still purchase hard copies for my favorite novels. My bookshelf is so over-loaded, I have to be choosy about what hardback books I purchase.
