She’s sweet and wholesome. And hiding something.
He’s back home, resurrecting old ghosts.
One of them is going to get hurt.

Molly arrives in Sutter’s Hollow out of gas and out of options. The rundown ranch seems like a perfect place to hide. Except the man who owns it seems just as dangerous as what’s chasing her.

Cord’s mantra growing up? Get out of Sutter’s Hollow. Now he’s back in town, but only long enough to get rid of his grandma’s ball and chain—the ranch. He doesn’t need a complication like Molly, who reminds him of an injured baby bird. He’s no protector. So why can’t he tell her to get lost?

IP67 Waterproof Bluetooth 4.2 Headsets for Swimming by MAZIMARK



3*
This is a waterproof earbud from Mazimark. It says it can be used for swimming. This is true but only if you keep your head above water and are within 50 feet of your phone or other device. Once you go under water it looses connection. This can be safely used int he shower, I did try that also. I do not usually take my phone to the shower with me, because nothing in my life is important enough to have to make or receive phone calls in the shower but for testing purposes I thought it would be a good trial. I did not run it through the wash machine but it does say it will withstand, in case you forget it in your pocket.

To use in the water you do need to put the waterproof cover on the earbud first. It does fit snugly and is a little hard to get on at first. But well worth it to keep if dry and in working order.

This connected easily with my phone, but it did loose connection quite easily and multiple times even though I was in the same room as my phone. The earbud just may be faulty, but I did look on Amazon to see if I was the only one having a problem and if there was a way to fix it. Seems I am not the only one to have a problem.

With the earbud you also get a nice round zippered carrying case, a charger cord, and a set of different sized earbud covers. These do have a 4 to 6 hour battery life.

You can get a set of these on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Wireless-Earbuds-Waterproof-Headset/dp/B071VT5GC7

I received this product for free or at a discounted price in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

True Love Series by Debra-Ann Kummoung


True Love Never Fails 
True Love Book 1 
by Debra-Ann Kummoung 
Genre: Historical Romance 


From the family lives of the Bennet sisters and their characterful parents, to the hidden charm, grace, and elegance of the unflappable Mr. Darcy, it might seem as if fans of Austen’s timeless classic, Pride & Prejudice, know all there is to know about this truly great novel. However, within the pages of this much-loved book, there are questions which call out for answers… the greatest of which are: what if everything we believed to be true about the Bennets and their fellow characters was, in fact, a veneer for something quite different? What if the behavior and intentions of the iconic sisters was all an act? And what if Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, and all the other refined gentlemen of Pemberley and beyond were not the genteel and mannered men we saw them to be?

Such questions, such mysteries, and such tantalizing possibilities form the backbone of True Love Never Fails, a daring and bold reimagining of Jane Austen’s most famed and adored work. Throughout the pages of this stunning novel, which abounds in all that we fell in love with in the chapters of Pride & Prejudice - and much more besides - we’re left second-guessing every motive, every word, and every eventuality we thought we knew so well. As readers, we’re taken into the heart of a dazzling set of cliff-hangers and revealed truths… and we’ll never be able to look our favorite characters in the same way again.

Alongside the rollicking storyline that weaves its way through the moral mazes of 18th century English high society, True Love Never Fails introduces its readers to the elusive and serious Mary Bennet. She’s a sister with a secret, and one who holds the key to the heart of the fun-loving Colonel Fitzwilliam, around whom a spiraling storyline forms. As revelation follows revelation, hearts will be broken, bonds will be formed, and the truth behind this timeless novel will be reimagined and revealed. Thanks to the astonishing deftness of the storytelling, and the author’s keen eye for a twist and tantalizing details, readers will find themselves on a new ride through a familiar landscape that’s as breathlessly romantic as it is captivating. From the first page you’ll be hooked, and by the time you reach the the very last, you’ll be calling out for more from this awe-inspiring retelling of Austen’s masterpiece.

Warning - Cliffhanger! 




True Love Conquers All 
True Love Book 2 


In the anticipated conclusion, True Love Conquers All, author Debra-Ann Kummoung returns you to her unique Pride & Prejudice retelling just hours after the shocking ending in True Love Never Fails… which had cost Mary Bennet her new engagement to Colonel Fitzwilliam.

Elizabeth and Jane along with Darcy and Bingley try to console Mary in the aftermath. Family and friends try to bring our couple back together again, but both are stubborn in their refusal to see the other.

Recalled to war, Colonel Fitzwilliam must depart England, leaving behind his family and friends and most importantly his heart. With the reappearance of an old friend to help him in this difficult time, Colonel Fitzwilliam despairs that he has lost the only lady he has ever loved.

Join the journey across the treacherous ocean to the bustling shores of Portugal and on to the battlefields of Spain. With surprising twists and turns and the steadfastness of a young lady’s heart, discover the truth that true love never fails, but rather despite all obstacles, true love conquers all. 





I fell in love with Pride & Prejudice when I read it in high school. Something about that time - the courtly manners of society, the clothing, and so many other things. Don't get me a wrong, I'm a modern girl and wouldn't last a day without my modern conveniences, but I can still fantasize about that time period. 

My husband is my inspiration for Mr. Darcy & Colonel Fitzwilliam (when the good colonel appears in one of my books). My husband has the manners of Darcy but has been a military man like the colonel - so I got both in one man. 

In 2020, I will be release the conclusion to True Love Never Fails... and I will be working on a new book - Mr. Darcy's Cinderella Bride. I will also be doing a gentle edit on Falling for Elizabeth Bennet.

The Secrets of Hawthorne House by Donald Firesmith


The Secrets of Hawthorne House 
by Donald Firesmith 
Genre: YA/MG Urban Fantasy 


Matt's life changes forever when a family of druids moves into the dilapidated Victorian mansion next door. The story of an unlikely friendship, the clash of two completely different cultures, secret magic, and a search for the lost Hawthorne treasure. 

Fifteen-year-old Matt Mitchell was having the worst summer imaginable. Matt’s misery started when a drunk driver killed his mother. Then his father moved him and his twin sister to the small town of Hawthorne in rural Indiana, as far as his grieving father could take from the ocean that Matt's mother had loved. At the new high school, three bullies are determined to make Matt miserable. And to top it off, Matt learns that the recluse who lives in the 'haunted house" next door is none other than Old Lady Hawthorne, the town’s infamous witch and murderer. Matt’s terrible summer is turning into an awful autumn when something quite unexpected happens. Old Lady Hawthorne’s niece and her three children arrive, and Matt meets Gerallt. 




Book Trailer 








A geek by day, Donald Firesmith works as a system and software engineer helping the US Government acquire large, complex software-intensive systems. In this guise, he has authored seven technical books, written numerous software- and system-related articles and papers, and spoken at more conferences than he can possibly remember. He's also proud to have been named a Distinguished Engineer by the Association of Computing Machinery, although his pride is tempered somewhat by his fear that the term "distinguished" makes him sound like a graybeard academic rather than an active engineer whose beard is still slightly more red than gray.

By night and on weekends, his alter ego writes modern paranormal fantasy, apocalyptic science fiction, action and adventure novels and relaxes by handcrafting magic wands from various magical woods and mystical gemstones. His first foray into fiction is the book Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore written under the pen name Wolfrick Ignatius Feuerschmied. He lives in Crafton, Pennsylvania with his wife Becky, and his son Dane, and varying numbers of dogs, cats, and birds.

Assassin's Game by Ella Sheridan




Title: Assassin's Game

Series: Assassins #4
Author: Ella Sheridan
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: March 30, 2020





Blurb


I’m the genius behind the keyboard, the man at my brothers’
backs when trouble comes calling. Killing might not have been my nature, but I
learned to do what I had to, to survive. To keep them alive.


Now, with everything going right, with my family finally happy, a new threat
has risen. A shadow. A menace that could take it all away in a single breath.


And not just from my family. From hers.


Nix. 


One glance and I knew I’d walk through fire to make her see me, make her mine.
Too bad she’s not willing to see inside of me.


In a world where might makes right, we’re on different sides of the spectrum,
but in this game of cat-and-mouse, it will take both of us to make it out
alive.

Excerpt

The silence between us built as I waited for him to speak, and a warm
flush crept up my neck and onto my cheeks. Finally I risked a sideways glance.
Eli was staring—at me.
“What?” I gathered my bowl and plate, silverware, but couldn’t step away
without looking at him again. “Eli?”
He shook his head. “I was just…” Another shrug showcased the thick
muscles beneath his thin T-shirt. “I was trying to figure out what it is about
you.”
The thump of my heartbeat got harder against my ribs. “What is what about
me?”
He turned, planting a hip against the counter as he continued to stare.
“Every time I look at you, it’s like a magnet,” he said, “pulling me back time
and again. I noticed it at the restaurant. Couldn’t stop thinking about it.
About you. And now…”
Every cell in my body screamed at me to run, hide, get away—and yet…
“Now…what?”
“Now I know about you—a little of what you’ve been through, what you do,
how you love your team.”
“They’re my family.” The amber glow of his gaze had me dropping mine.
Why was I looking at the floor? I wasn’t shy. I didn’t lack strength or
confidence—maybe had a little too much sometimes, actually. And yet that look…
God. It was his intensity, the way his gaze crawled inside me and uncovered
things I didn’t want to think about, didn’t want to feel. Especially right now.
I couldn’t bear it; Eli Agozi was too much. Too big a threat—to me,
personally, my emotions, my thoughts. He pulled me down paths I couldn’t afford
to follow. Mere hours in his presence and I knew.
He was the biggest risk I couldn’t afford to take.
“I don’t think it’s only that they became your family, though it’s partly
that. It’s also just who you are, Beautiful.” Eli leaned close until his nose
barely brushed mine. Too close. “You fascinate me, Mikaela. I’m not sure why,
and I’m definitely not certain where it will end, but I do know one thing: it’s
gonna be a hell of a ride.” He nudged my nose, one side of his mouth tugging
up. “I can’t wait.”

The Lord Steward and the Servant King by Gordon Saunders





Verdura Pentalogy - Book #  2 of 5
YA Historical Fantasy
Published Date: April 4, 2020
Publisher: INtense Publications LLC

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

Kentucky. Now it’s 1838. Steven and Amanda have not been able to get back into Verdura for two years, no matter what they’ve done. They don’t know if promises made there have come true or if something terrible has happened.

But things have changed in Kentucky. Amanda’s grown older and her father wants her to marry a young man who’s a cruel bully. Daddy thinks she’ll change him. Huh! She wants nothing to do with him. But her father’s insistent. Plus, Amanda has no idea what’s happened to Joshua and Marie. Letters from them stopped coming some time ago.

And then there’s that peculiar ‘amusement’ someone is putting on in downtown Glasgow, a weird phenomenon hyped by a creepy mustachioed tinker who doesn’t have any pots or pans to sell.

Join Joshua, Marie, Amanda and Steven in their second Verduran adventure. Yeah. This one could also be fatal. Or worse.


About the Author




Having been a life-long fan of Narnia and Middle Earth, Dr. Saunders wanted to create a concrete world with an American base to demonstrate the same truths held by C.S.Lewis and J.R.R.Tolkien.
Inside: Narnia, Asteroid B-612, Middle Earth, Earthsea, and earth. I’ve spent a lot of time in each of these places. Plus a few more. They’re all real, you know, just real in different ways. But there is a Reality that is more important than them all, and I’ve gotten to know Him, too. I’ve been to dozens of countries on earth (on every continent except Antartica) and He has been there. He’s been in many of the other places, too, the places you can only get to through stories. But I’ve seen, in many places, that who He is has gotten bumbled up. So I wanted to create a place where He could be seen for who He really is. The place turned out to be green - at least the sky - and very hard. I used to teach Latin and the word for green, in Latin, started with ‘ver.’ The word for hard started with ‘dura.’ So I decided to put them together to name my place: Verdura. I learned later that the word ‘verdura,’ in Spanish means ‘vegetables.’ I hope the Verdurans won’t hold it against me that they live on vegetables. And I hope Spanish-speakers will understand that I didn’t mean to borrow their word for vegetables and will, maybe, see their way to believing Verdura to be a hard, green planet. Where Reality lives.
