Review of The Hero by Robyn Carr

The Hero

by Robyn Carr

Book 3 in the Thunder Point series.

The Hero.



Actually, this wonderful story was full of heroes. Heroes here. Heroes there.
It was awesome. It was overflowing with Heroes.
So much so in fact, one of the heroes stories slipped over into the next book of the series.
 This is a book that calls to me when I am trying to go to sleep,
"How can you sleep with all this going on?"
 The book that taunts me when I am making dinner,
"I know what happens next and you don't, ha ha ha!"
The characters are so real and true that you pick up the phone to call them up to go out to lunch. Wait, did I say that?? No, I never really did that.

So much going on. The book did not have a moment of slow time.
It was all action, life, kids, construction, suspense, crisis and love.
Glorious wonderful love.
There is thunder and lightning, the beach, a small town more like a family.
Did I mention love? The story runneth over with great
people sharing love, advice and furniture.
I highly recommend this Robyn Carr story. I have not read the first
two books of the series. Or anything after Book 4. But it is easy
to fall in with who is who and the community of the story. Though,
I am pretty sure the rest of the series will probably also be wonderful.

Lady Madeleine's Christmas Wish by Ella Quinn

Author Ella Quinn's novella Madeleine's Christmas Wish is an excellent read!! The novella held my interest and I read it in one sitting. Madeleine's Christmas Wish had all of the adventure, romance and historical details that I look for in a regency romance novel. And the cover is fabulous! Just perfect for this holiday story!

Kudos to author Ella Quinn for writing a novella that captured the heart and spirit of the other novels in her Marriage Game series.

Madeleine's Christmas Wish is set in both France and England shortly after Napoleon's defeat. It's a fast paced ninety page novella with a handsome and honorable hero, a smart and beautiful heroine, lots of intrigue, passion and a nasty villain.

Madeleine and George are attracted to each other and the attraction grows as they make their way from England to Madeleine's families home in France during the holiday season.

George's kisses enthralled her, taking her to a different world. She had no idea how long they had been kissing. Almost as if someone had splashed cold water on her face, she came out of her enchantment. He'd had no trouble keeping track of the time ending their-their what ever it was called. And he was the one who remembered his promise when she would have allowed him to do more.

The last few chapters of the story are filled with adventure as the couple travels by coach, boat and a crowded mail coach to Madeleine's family's chateau. Will they reach the chateau in time to save Madeleine's family? Who will they find in the chateau? Will Madeleine get her Christmas Wish?

The conclusion to the story held a few tense moments and surprises. I enjoyed reading this novella and I hope you do as well!

Rumor Has It by Jill Shalvis- Audio Version

Rumor Has It
by Jill Shalvis

Audio Version

Ryan looked at her for a long moment.

There was a lot in his gaze.

Affection. A touching amount of concern.

And then, wariness.

Just then, Kate felt a change in her force field.

She didn't have to turn around to know who had come

up behind her and now stood at her back. It was utterly

unnecessary because her happy nipples told her exactly who it was.

She couldn't speak. Not when she realized that she was standing

between the only two men she'd ever slept with.

  

Jill Shalvis reading is always a pleasure. Romance. Sweet,

unpredictable, classic romance. Comedy. Great family and

friends. The towns and characters are so real.

This story is Book 4 in the Animal Magnetism series.

The town, Sunshine, Idaho.

Ryan has recently left the military. Not because he

wanted to. He has been a service member all his adult life.

Ryan is struggling to settle into civilian life.

So he came back to his home town, Sunshine. With no intention of staying.

Ryan just wanted to recover from the military.

Kate has never been out of the state. And she has no intention of leaving.

She is brilliant and a world class multi tasker. She has a younger brother and sister.

Kate is raising them. Raising them, along with their father.

 Life has been a struggle for him.

So Kate has kept things running and the kids taken care of.

Kate has the opportunity of a lifetime. And its about to expire.

In order to answer that opportunity, she has to leave Sunshine.

They are terrific characters with real problems. Just like we all have.

And they fall in love. But how do you work around big problems,

once in a lifetime opportunities, migraines and super heroes??
Anything can happen in Sunshine.

Karen White does the narration in Rumor Has It. She also did

Then Came You by Jill Shalvis. In fact, that was what made me

click ''buy''. Karen does a terrific job with the humor and the

hot & sexy scenes as well.

If you have ever thought you might like to try an audio book,

this might be the one for you. Its about 9 1/2 hours long. And as

of right now, it is on sale.

Its a wonderful story. Full of romance and some laughs.

I enjoyed it very much. And would highly recommend it.
