Emily (Book 1)

I thought I was in love, I thought I was happy, I thought everything was perfect.

But then I found out my husband of six years was having an affair. I knew it had to be a dream, but it wasn’t. So now I’m left at square one, only now I’m a single mom also.

Dating isn’t easy but it’s especially not easy for a single mom of twin boys, with a soon to be ex-husband who’s still around. I mean what else could happen?

Throw in a hot prison guard and my ex-husband the mechanic and you have a whole mess of problems, and its only Monday!

What am I supposed to do?



Unexpected (Book 2)

In Emily you got part of my story. But now in Unexpected you get the rest of it.

True, it doesn't go the way I planned and I don't end up with the man I had planned on. But then again, that's why they say to 'expect the unexpected.'

I have a choice to make...

Do I choose my past? Or do I choose a path that is uncertain?

Only time can tell in the end. I have to choose before feelings are hurt and it's too late, causing me to loose everything I hold dear.

Sincerely,
Emily

Review for Mixed Blood by Raven Williams

Synopsis:

Long before the time of Elves, even before the great Ice Age, there are those who dwell on the realm of Earth.  These inhabitants are known as humans.  But they are not alone.  The Ancient Elders, in secret, created another species; one the Elves call the Guardians. Together these two species live and prosper. 

On Paer-Jhysael, the High Elves, the original members of Elf-Kin, step down as leaders, turn the responsibility over to their descendants, and give up their immortality.  They choose to go to Earth to live out the rest of their mortal lives. They are accompanied by two Realm Jumpers, Taranath of the Fire Elves and Solana of the Moon Elves.  What happens on Earth changes the lives of the Jumpers forever. 

Mixed Blood is the tale of Solana and Izlal, her Guardian Mate.  Join them on an adventure that changes, not only their lives, but the lives of Guardians, humans, and the Elder Species alike. 

Review:

Really enjoyed this companion novella! Finally, we see the beginnings of Earth in more detail and how the High Elves came to live on Earth and died there, leaving other elves and guardians. The whole term mixed blood comes from the intermarriage of the Guardians and Elves. And while most are receptive to this mixing (since Guardians are basically mixed as it is), there is a voice of dissent among the group and this Guardian is going to end up aligning with a very dark force. We don't see this fully play out in this book, but I can't wait to see what is going to happen next!

Lycan Gladiator (Wolf Maiden Saga Book 1) by Eva Gordon

Review:

Lycan Gladiator can be termed a historical romance and a paranormal romance seeing as to how the book takes place in ancient Rome during a time where people were brutalized regularly for sport in the arena either by other people or beasts.  This time period never was a favorite of mine due to the blood shed that happened and because of the cruelty people endured.  Certain groups such as Christians were especially targeted for the arena or some other type of execution.  This book brings that world to life while adding shifters to the mix, making it an even more volatile combination.  The story of two people who fall in love even through their difficult circumstances is a good summing up of Lycan Gladiator.  Cassia and Ulric are both slaves but to two very different masters.  Ulric was meant to be an alpha with a pack of his own.  He is a good man who is surrounded by the worst of circumstances as he is forced to fight in the arena for his master so as to keep those he cares about from harm.  His master's wife constantly tries to take him to bed, but he refuses.  The master's son was quite the spoiled brat until an unfortunate accident almost killed him, bringing him and Ulric into close contact with Cassia since she is a physician of sorts and a very special woman.  She has power like no other and has worked hard to keep who she is a secret.  Well that secret will be revealed, but not before Ulric has fallen for her.  A great and entertaining read, there were still some areas left rather vague and as always, there are questions left unanswered.

4 out of 5 stars!


Synopsis:

During a time of bloody gladiator games and treacherous schemes, a secret society of lycans live amongst the Romans.

When Ulric, a lycan gladiator, meets a mysterious human woman with green eyes, he’s drawn to her fiery beauty, enraptured by her alluring aroma. Unfortunately, Ulric and the beauty are slaves. To make matters worse, he can mate only with someone marked with the sign of the wolf.

Cassia’s hidden wolf mark burns in the presence of the handsome gladiator. While her heart yearns to be near Ulric, logic warns her against it—having a slave as a mate is against the lycan society’s plans for her.

In spite of the lycan society’s rules and the emperor’s brutal plots, their love grows … but their passion just may cost them their lives.

Everything is Yours by K.L. Shandwick

K L Shandwick Presents…

Everything Is Yours – A novella to accompany the Everything Trilogy

BLURB

Being Floridian born and bred, Alfie Black didn't usually 'do' winters. Lily Parnell, his girl, was from London and used to seasons. Winter was one of her favorites. As famous musicians both were used to living their lives in the limelight. Alfie, a rock legend, and Lily also a rock star in her own right, were propelled to 'Rock Royalty' just by being together. Add their close friend, Rick Fars, another 'Rock God' into the equation, and it was easy to see how difficult it was to maintain any kind of friendships without the media tagging along looking for the latest scoop. These days one never seemed to be mentioned without the other. However, a rare window of opportunity in all of their schedules arose and so did Alfie's desire. With Christmas only two weeks away and eight days of downtime, Alfie seized it with both hands. Three rockers, alcohol, a cabin in the snow, and time on their hands, how does that go down?

BIOGRAPHY

Writing came relatively later in life for me after a challenge by a friend led to The Everything Trilogy. I love creating new characters and story lines. Writing is a form of escapism from my day job, which can be difficult at times. I have worked in the health and social care sector for most of my adult life, so to have the opportunity to step out of this serious role and create colourful characters is very rewarding. I enjoy where they take me and each character has his or her own voice. I don't use prepared outlines for my stories preferring the characters to take their own direction as the story progresses.

TEASERS

EXCERPT

Jack smirked knowingly at me and shrugged his shoulders. “You’ve never done this before, Alfie? Being a rock star must give you an incredible buzz, but you know what you’re getting each time you step out on that stage, right? All those horny women and frenzied male rock fans who adore you. Wait until you feel the buzz from this, I guarantee you it’s something else. With Mother Nature on the stage, you never know what you’re getting, so you need to be ready to adjust and be resourceful to keep yourself and everyone around you safe on the slope.”

Review:

To warn you up front, this book is not the happily ever after type.  No, things are messy when you are an undercover spy and there is a war going on.  Set in the 1940's during WWII, The Glass Beacon is a story about one man in particular, Karl Strom, who is a spy and a good one at that.  He has developed some new technology that could be pivotal in this war for Germany.  I'll be honest, I wasn't particularly fond of this guy in the book, but the further along you get in the book, the more you begin to see that he really is only human and there are other factors to take into account for his behavior and such.  Things do seem so cold and calculating for many of the characters, big or small.  But I suppose when there is a huge war going on such as this one, people will do what they must.  I was quite taken with the story of The Raven though, and this one just kept popping up throughout the story.  I won't divulge much about this one, but The Raven is an undercover spy for the British and has some amazing talent.  Or so it seems that's what this person is anyway.  There was much speculation on that point though while I was reading the book.  I really did love the spies The Raven and Sundown.  They were really interesting and served to give the book even more intrigue!

A solid 4 out of 5 stars!

Chapter – Prologue

He heard the echo of footsteps approaching along the narrow passage. The depressing light green brick walls and worn, dark red concrete floor reflected the sound. The hollow rattle and clink of keys at the steel door as the two men opened it sent a tremor of fear through the waiting man who sat with his back to the door, on the other side.

The large tot of whisky served to him in a white enamelled mug fifteen minutes earlier, the only thing that had passed his dry lips for the last two days, was gone, leaving him light headed. Although he had no appetite, he had savoured every drop.

The heavy door swung open, the worn hinges screeched like fingernails on a chalkboard. He was thankful that he would never hear that chilling sound ever again. The poorly ventilated room stank of recent defecation and sweat. The cold sweat of fear.

Two burley men grabbed the man’s arms firmly and lifted him to a standing position, as a third secured his wrists with a worn leather strap. The burley men briskly propelled him out of the room and down the passage. It was all happening too quickly, he thought, as another door ahead of him swung open. He had no time to take in his surroundings. Through the door they went, into a harshly lit, large whitewashed room. The restrained man paused a moment and looked around. The floor was cut timber, like a stage, but flush with the main concrete floor. Beyond that, a small audience sat on hard wooden chairs, facing him. None of them looked like they would enjoy the coming performance.

The floorboards sounded hollow under the men’s feet as the three men walked towards the middle where Albert Pierrepoint stood waiting. With practiced speed and dexterity, Pierrepoint came from behind and placed a thick black hood, reeking of vomit, over the prisoner’s head. Now a hangman’s noose slipped over the hood and a brass ring, through which the loop of rope passed, was positioned expertly under the hinge of the prisoner’s jaw.

The clink of a metal buckle sounded loud to the prisoner’s heightened senses as his ankles were strapped together. The two burley men still supported the condemned man as he swayed unsteadily, but at arms’ length. Death was close now, he thought as the realisation actually hit him, and a massive surge of adrenalin pumped through his body. His legs were trembling and about to fold, his almost empty bowels and bladder surged violently, and bile was in his throat. He was freely standing now and suddenly weightless. A microsecond of unbelievable pain hit him as the carefully placed brass ring at his jaw yanked around under his chin, at the bottom of the drop. It forced his head back and snapped his neck.

Although his body was quite dead, his brain continued to function for a few seconds. After the initial explosion of firing synapses, he was in a state of total peace as a permanent blackness engulfed him. Apart from a brief twitch of the legs, the show was over.

Another German spy ceased to exist, in Pentonville Prison.

About Jacqueline

Jacqueline grew up in the rural southeast and is the youngest child of a large and rowdy family. Reading was an escape when there wasn't much else around to do. She loves everything from classical literature to true crime and everything in between. With her two children grown and gone, she's surrounded by a menagerie of adopted pets and a two-legged thief who refused to give her heart back after a night of karaoke.

With a day job and a dream job, her writing is a steamy combination of real life and seeking to answer the age-old question of what would happen if...and then characters come along and completely derail the plan. Letting them have their say provides plenty of sleepless nights and an endless combination of coffee and wine, but she hopes you enjoy their stories.
