It’s that time again: to announce the next review batch. Here are the books I’ll be reading and reviewing soon.
When fifteen year old Tegan Summers catches the eye of local radio personality Rake Johnson, she finally feels like a normal teenage girl. Everything about their relationship feels perfect, except for the unexplained presence that makes her believe she should stay away.
On the same day she meets Rake, another man makes his way into her life: Officer Damien Sanders. His mysterious and often intense warnings urge Tegan to trust him and to end her relationship with Rake. As she works to uncover Damien’s motive, she begins to realize that he may end up playing a vital role in her future.
Discover what Tegan must do in TRUSTED, the debut novel by author Taylor L. Stimac.
Fallen Redemption by R B Austin:
Cade committed himself to saving lives before he learned the full consequences of his life-altering decision. It wasn’t until he was tending his sick wife that he learned the enormity of what he’d done and he was unable to save her from the monster he had become. Consumed with guilt and praying for absolution, he threw himself into killing every Fallen he could find to save the humans he’d sworn to protect. But then Emma, deliciously mortal and completely forbidden, swept into his world, stirring an overpowering desire. Now he’s not only fighting soulless creatures, but also his inner cravings, trying to maintain his distance and continue on his path to forgiveness. He can’t afford to lose control again and sacrifice another love.

I’m excited to read all of these books and I’ll report back soon. Have a great weekend!
Wow, you have lots of reading to do – how wonderful :). Looks like a great variety!
yeah, I’m loving the different types of books. And it’s fun to get free books!
Free is great!! 🙂
Yep! and I enjoy meeting the authors. A win-win!
You will be very busy! Some great stories here, looking forward to the reviews. Also, I have been in touch with Christine who has given me great encouragement for my memoir (which I’m writing, honestly!) so many thanks TB for sending me her way, I really appreciate your help.
That’s great news on all fronts. Christine is wonderful and I think you are neat, so I’m you two are friends now. And so happy to hear that you are writing. I can’t wait to review your memoir!
So much subterfuge, mystery and intrigue on your reading list. Plus vampires. Where would the modern world be without those pop culture time-fillers on the page, tube, screen and in the cash register? As a semi-illiterate, I limit my reading to grocery lists, sub-titles and The New Yorker, but free is my second favorite four letter f-word. I’m a New Yorker. Shirley, you know what’s my first favorite.
I have a pretty good idea. I think it would help if I made grocery lists. it would save me time wandering up and down each aisle coming up with “dinner” ideas.
Lots of good books coming up for your review… can’t wait to find out what you thought of them.
I’m pretty excited to read them. Will keep you posted.
