Jessica Scott After The War Book Tour + Book Review

The second book in the emotional new Homefront series from USA Today Bestselling author Jessica Scott

A terrible loss…

Captain Sarah Anders lost her husband to the Iraq war and has nearly lost the career she loves. Sent to Fort Hood, she only wants to do her job and take care of the daughter she’s raising on her own. She never counted on running straight into a memory she’d tried to forget.

A love he never forgot...

Captain Sean Nichols never got over Sarah. He simply tried to forget her amidst the war and the chaos of combat. But when she’s assigned to investigate his unit, he comes face to face with the woman no war or any amount of time could make him forget.

A dark secret…

As Sarah gets closer to the truth, Sean must accept that actions he took during the war may end the tentative love building between them. And even if Sarah can forgive him, Sean may never be able to forgive himself.

Excerpt:

“I’m sorry you have to go through this alone.”

“Thank you for saying that.” She blinked quickly, and she heard a rustle of blankets. Her mind detoured into a very unprofessional space. “Did you just get into bed?”

He laughed quietly. “Yeah. Are you?”

“Yeah.” There was something illicit in that simple agreement. Illicit and enticing all at once.

“So we’re in bed together?”

“Ha ha ha.” She cleared her throat, though, as a fresh heat traced over her skin, warm and needy. “Tell me more about Kearney.”

“Damn, and here I thought you were going to ask me what I was wearing to bed.”

She hesitated. Only for a moment, not giving herself time to talk herself out of her next words. “What are you wearing to bed?”

A silence that let her mind wander. “Sweats.” He paused. When he spoke, his voice was husky and thick. “Tell me what you’re wearing.”

“Yoga pants and a T-shirt,” she said softly, her cheeks turning hot. Was she really having this conversation?

“Sarah?”

“Yeah?”

“This doesn’t feel wrong to me. I just wanted you to know that.”

Our Review

This is the first book by author Jessica Scott that I have read. I was not disappointed in the least. As a lover of Military Romance this was a refreshing change getting the view point of a woman that had been to war, been injured and lost her husband.

Sarah is left widowed and raising her child as a single parent while in the military. She has no family to help her and finds her self overwhelmed at times. I love how strong she is and how much she loves her little girl and does not give up.

Now Sean is back in her life. A love from long ago. Can they forgive each other and make a life together? I was cheering for them the entire time!

This was an amazing and heart warming story from start to finish. The characters were very likable, well developed and the story flowed beautifully. I highly recommend this wonderful story.

In a modern world ruled by territorial Greek gods, the human race has been oppressed, exploited and now, nearly destroyed by the constant infighting of gods.
However, a human girl with the power of a goddess is coming of age. Alessandra is the Oracle of Delphi – the last prophesized – and bears the mark of the double omega. Soon after she turns eighteen, Alessandra is told her destiny: to step between the warring gods and the human race and save her world from certain ruin.
For the gods, her appearance marks the beginning of the end – their end. They and the obedient human elite who serve them will stop at nothing to preserve their power.
Alessandra emerges from the forest where she spent her life hidden from gods and men and immediately plummets into a race against time, gods, and herself to discover who and what she is in a world where everyone she meets has a hidden agenda, and those pulling the strings remain in the shadows.
To claim her place leading a rebellion against the gods, she must first prove she is the prophesized Oracle by completing three trials devised by the gods to kill her.
One lone girl stands between warring gods and the people she’s destined to protect, but it’s the battle to understand who she is that she must win first.

Synopsis

Zach Love Anissa's Redemption Release Blitz

Anissa Toma fled war-torn Syria after narrowly escaping the massacre of her Christian family by Islamists. Fortunate enough to rebuild her shattered life in New York City, the young refugee gained admission to an elite college, where she excelled. Her beauty, brains, and purity soon captured the interest of two powerful men: Michael, an activist working to establish Antioch, the first Mideast Christian state, and Julien, her professor and one of the city’s wealthiest bachelors.

As Anissa's saga continues, the refugee-turned-rising-star must navigate between Michael and Julien, while trying to help her surviving relatives and other vulnerable Christians in Syria. As she gets closer to both men in a complex and evolving love triangle, can she unlock Julien's traumatic childhood to open up his heart? Or will Julien find greater solace from his nightmares and other demons in the sessions with his intriguing therapist? What will Michael do for Antioch and for Anissa, and what will Julien's role be? How far will each person go to help Anissa's remaining family and other persecuted Christians at risk in Syria? Find out in this stunning sequel to "The Syrian Virgin".

Excerpt

“It’s OK, Anissa. We don’t need to rehash that incident now. I’m just reminding us both that – even though you are the most angelic woman I’ve ever met – you’re still human,” he added with a gentle smile, as he lightly put his hand on mine. “So I’m still taking a risk by sharing this with you.”

“I understand that,” I conceded.

“Good. So before I take that risk, I need your most solemn oath that – whatever happens between us – you will never repeat what I’m about to uncover for the first time ever... ” His stare seemed to penetrate my eyes, probing deep into my interior. With so much solemnity surrounding his revelation, whatever it was, I almost didn’t want him to tell me anymore. “Because once I tell you this, there’s no going back.”

I took a hard swallow and braced myself to receive something that I could never share with anyone. “I swear to you, Julien, on the memory of my blessed parents, and on the future of my people, that I will never tell a soul.”

He nodded slightly, as if to acknowledge my vow, and took his hand back. He let out a deep breath, and his hands began to fidget a little, as if he was trying to decide where and how to begin. I put my glass down on the coffee table, wanting to concentrate as much as possible on whatever he was about to say. After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke.

About The Author

Zack Love graduated from Harvard College, where he studied mostly literature, psychology, philosophy, and film. After college, he moved to New York City and took a corporate consulting job that had absolutely nothing to do with his studies. The attacks of September 11, 2001 inspired him to write a novelette titled “The Doorman” and heightened his interest in the Middle East. A decade later, that interest extended to the Syrian Civil War, which provided the backdrop for his latest work. In late 2013, Zack began releasing his unpublished works of fiction and became a full-time author. He has published comedy, psychological and philosophical fiction, and romance. Zack enjoys confining himself to one genre about as much as he likes trying to sum up his existence in one paragraph.

Yours Always by Rhonda R. Dennis

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ms. Dennis took on some serious topics with just the right finesse that the story is believable. She did not glorify, demean or beg your acceptance. She lays the story out for you piece by piece, and she does so in a way that you will THINK about this story for a very long time. The quality of the writing is beyond what I had expected and I am so thankful to a friend for recommending it.

Savannah and Fletcher’s story is about two utterly broken people finding each other when they needed someone most. Their tragic lives will tear you open and leave you feeling as raw as they do. Their love is one to remember! A once in a life time experience that will not be forgotten. Take this journey with them and believe in the “signs!” They exist! After reading this book you will feel so many emotions. From horror, to joy. From shock, to happiness. And then to the ultimate loss. But it will give you hope, strength and an insight into being a survivor. It will give you love….what real love is…

This is a story of not just tragedy but of inspiration! We honestly never know what we can survive until we go through it. I found myself at times laughing with the characters, jumping up and down with joy and then the author rips your heart right out of your chest, only to put it back in again, rip it out and tear it to shreds.

Thank you Ms. Dennis, you have renewed my faith in finding excellent writing and finding an amazing story that will stay with you forever!

Unexpectedly, he’s drawn to Reese and can’t help but want her physically. Although she has gone without sex for several months, she has no intentions of having a fling with her new boss. When bad boy, Everett, makes a pass at her, it sends Reese running out the door in her heels. Her younger sister, Becca, convinces her that an exciting affair with her boss is exactly what she needs before she likely settles down with a boring man.

Fighting for Arielle by Karina Sharp - Review by Loraine Oliver from Wicked Women

Fighting for Arielle by Karina Sharp

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Review by Loriane Wicked Women Reviewer

Fighting for Arielle was an exceptional read that introduces us to Katrina Sharp and this is her debut novel, and it was an awesome read. This book has 3 main people in it, Arielle, a vibrant young woman married to a sailor named Brody, and also a Lieutenant in the Navy who is a lawyer, named Mick McCrary. There are several other characters as well.

Arielle and Brody went to high school together and when he enlisted in the Navy and had to move to Hawaii, they decided to get married so she could go with him. They have no children and have been married for about a year, but they do have a big Sulcata Tortoise, who is named Senor Swankypants, Swanks for short! Arielle has always been an upbeat person and this marriage she is in is killing her spirit slowly but surely. This is an example of her husband's attitude. Showing up one night this is what he tells his friends when they question if he shouldn't ask his wife first if they can party there. "Come on. I don't care if she's here. She won't care. No I don't have to run it by her. It's not like she has any other friends anyway." This is his attitude towards her, he is always picking on her and he spends his time off work drunk. He feels like Arielle is worthless. They barely even have relations either anymore and he resents it.

When Arielle meets McCrary, a Lieutenant in the Navy and they start seeing each other at first, she realizes that she is just barely living, existing to get by with Brody. Once physical abuse comes into the picture things have to change with Arielle and her husband. As her relationship, purely innocent at first with McCrary develops, she realizes the difference. Arielle realizes that everything she wants is right there with McCrary!

Will Arielle find the strength to do what is right for herself to be able to seek out what she and any other woman deserves? This quote from the book shows what Arielle is asking herself- just weeks after she starts staying with McCrary, which makes her question her life up to now:
"I've learned that the hallmarks of any strong relationship are communication, pleasure, and respect. Do you talk to one another about the good, the bad, the happy, the sad and the mundane? Do you take time to laugh with one another, share a smile, and appreciate each other? Do you say nice things about each other, even when not in the other's presence? Our relationship sits on those hallmarks and will continue to build upon that foundation. When we hit a snag or feel a little shaky, we will still have those original pillars from which we will rebuild."

This book points out that while we may know what would make us happy, it takes a special kind of courage to pick ourselves up, and start a new life with someone else, or even just by ourselves, especially women who have suffered from emotional abuse, which in some ways can be worse as it leaves us feeling worthless, unable to do anything right, and that we are lucky we have someone, even if it is a loser, to lean on.

As for McCrary, after being a lawyer in the Navy for all this time, he realizes that finding a wife is a very difficult thing and he does not believe a marriage while in the military is possible. He
has seen so many Navy men get married and then divorced over a fairly quick period of time, and the marriages he does see work, like his mom and dad are good, but yet even that had a bad ending-you have to read book to find out-McCrary loved his mother. As his feelings for Arielle start running deep he begins to hope it may happen, but it is up to her to get her life together before she can come to him-and oh he loves her! He is so emotionally involved will he get hurt?


Take this journey with Arielle and McCrary and see what happens. Will Arielle have the strength to walk away,to do what is right for her, and find love-true love, in a wonderful man? Is she worthy of that love, will Brody harm her, will she have somewhere to turn to if she can't go with McCrary?
Read and see what happens and you will be so glad you did!

I gave this book 5***** Stars and I hope to see more books by this author!

Ruin The Waking

Lucian Bane

August 28, 2014

Paranormal Romance

Synopsis:

To judge and execute. That is Ruin's power and desire. But Ruin's memory is empty of how he came to be here on Earth and why. After saving Isadore-- a neuroscientist living in the swamps of Louisiana-- from a sexual predator, she volunteers to help him.

Ruin soon discovers that judging and executing wicked humans while linked to such a difficult and beautiful woman who can't help but involve herself in every aspect of his business, is proving to be more difficult than judging the world.

Author Bio

My name is Lucian Bane, and I'm an Ineffable Dom. That just means, do yourself a favor and please don't try to fit me into categories. Complicated Dom, Intricate Dom, or Confounding Dom work too.

I don't want a woman I can break, or overpower, or exercise my dominance over. I want a woman I can come undone with. I want a woman I can jump off the cliff with into that abyss of holy hell, this is beyond me, beyond my control.

I think there are many men like myself, and I hope my writing will be a map for them. (A map for women as well, to let them know Doms like this exist.) I want to challenge them to go for the complete power exchange with a woman, but don't be a coward and not give the same that they demand or expect. Consider that when you give one hundred percent of yourself to a person, there is no more of you to give away. You now belong to them the way they belong to you.

Inner Doms need a master to train them. I once bowed to my Dom's reckless and tireless desires, but when I gained control, he bowed to my will. The transformation made me into what I am today. What many would call an Ineffable Dom. But its equal term in the Vanilla world, in my opinion, is a real man.
