End of the year review -Part 1

It has been awhile. There has been a lot of books to review. But here is a few that I have finished.  I am sorry I am having problems loading the covers.

 

Fearless Love

by Kate Kadence

Madison Carmichael's carefully controlled world has just spun off its axis. Not only has jet-setting playboy and investor Jake Colt landed his helicopter in the middle of the biggest photo shoot of her career, she is shocked to discover he purchased her parents' financially troubled winery. 

Madison refuses to let this interloper take what belongs to her family, no matter what passions he stirs in her heart. She'll do anything to get him out of Serenity Creek and her family's business, even if it means striking a deal that goes against every grain in her body with the arrogant man himself. 

Jake has no interest in handling the Carmichael winery acquisition, but he has little choice considering the business agreement he made with his father. As with all of his father's dealings, there are strings attached, and Jake is determined to cut them at all costs.

If he is going to spend time in the backwards town that reminds him too much of the one that betrayed him all to turn some two bit winery around, he is going to do it on his own terms, which includes encouraging the feisty woman who has captured his attention to break out of her shell and live a little. 

But when two opposing forces clash, sparks are bound to fly…

Jake and Madison story was a sweet love story. It is a clean and nice short story that can be finished in a day. It is a great choice when you want a light read. 

I give it 3*stars.

The Robber Knight -  (The Robber Knight Saga #1)

by Robert Thier 

When you are fighting for the freedom of your people, falling in love with your enemy is not a great idea.

Sir Reuben, the dreaded robber knight, has long been Ayla's deadliest enemy. She swore he would hang for his crimes. Now they are both trapped in her castle as the army of a far greater enemy approaches, and they have only one chance: stand together, or fall.
Welcome to "The Robber Knight"—a tale full of action, adventure, and romance.

 There is mistake identity, action, and romance. Ayla  needs help and is looking for a knight that will save her and her castle. This story has a real cliff hanger. I couldn't believe it ended the way it did. But it diffidently leaves room for another book. 

I give it 3*stars 
 

Silver Majesty (Silver Sagas #2)

by Lea Carter 

Princess Rebecca never expected to agree to an arranged marriage – or to wearing the queen's crown. But now, to secure a peaceful future for the Silver Fairy Tribe, she faces what may well prove to be an impossible situation. The annual gala serves as the backdrop for the selection process and as it goes slowly by, she becomes more firmly convinced that she is hopelessly in love with one of her suitors. 

Evidence of a pirate build-up only complicates matters further, requiring cooperation from each of the four tribes against the most cunning blackguard of them all.

Emotions run high as motivations are examined, hearts are forever changed, and the future becomes the present for our gallant young fairies.

Before I read this book I was wondering when Hugh would come back and would Rebecca and him be together. He did come back and he had competition for Rebecca's hand in marriage. This story had fairies and now pirates. That is a great combination. Another light and sweet story.

I really enjoyed it, I couldn't stop reading it took me only a day to read. It was very sweet and I LOVED that they were fairies. I thought that it was neat that even though this was a fantasy it seemed like a historical fiction because the fairies were like humans minus the flying. :) I would be interested in  what happens next. I give this book 4* stars.

The wind whisperer

It has been awhile. Here is my new review.
The Wind Whisperer

by Krista Holle

 
At fifteen, Anaii is the most important member of her tribe—and the most mysterious. Ever since Anaii can remember, the spirits of the wind have whispered of fertile hunting grounds and imminent enemy attacks. But when her people are ambushed by a brother clan without any apparent cause, the spirits remain eerily silent.

As the village prepares to retaliate, Anaii is pressured by her best friend, Elan, to marry him. It's an old plea—Elan has spent a lifetime loving her, but Anaii only sees a childhood playmate out of an imposing warrior. Stifled by Elan's insistence, Anaii escapes into the forest where she meets Jayttin, the beautiful son of the enemy chief.

Enamored by Jayttin's carefree spirit and hope for peace, she repeatedly sneaks away to be with him, but when her deception is discovered, Elan is devastated. Pledging his lifelong affection, Elan gives her a passionate kiss, and Anaii begins to see her friend in a new light.

While Anaii is tormented over which man she must choose, the wind whispers of a new threat that could destroy both tribes. Only a union will afford a chance at survival, but the reality of that union is based on one thing—which man Anaii chooses to die.
 
 
 
I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the love triangle, it really kept my interest. I was torn between the two men in the first half of the story and then by the middle of the story I had chosen my favorite. I was a little unsure who she would pick but in the end I was right. I enjoyed the mystery of it. Anaii was selfish but she kept it interesting. I look forward to know what happens next to her.  I give it 4* stars.
