Line BlurbI’m Capt. Eve Stone and I’m a cyborg. I woke up in a top-secret lab with no memory of my past, except that I was once human. They erased my memory, more than once, but that’s the one thing they couldn’t extinguish because the body has a way of storing information at a cellular level. I’m more machine than human now, but once my sleep…

CAPTAIN EVE STONE, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE SPECIAL OPERATIONS JTAC
I am an American soldier, serving the people of the United States of America. I am a warrior. I am trained and disciplined mentally and physically. I am an expert and a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and to destroy the enemy. I will never accept defeat. And that is why after nearly twenty years of serving my country and having my identity, my memory, my life, and my one true love stolen from me, I will fight with everything in me to get him back, to remember who I really am.
Almost twenty years have gone by since I was injured in an accident while serving in the United States Air Force. My family, friends, and fiancé were informed I had died. I lost everything. Until now.
It was a chance encounter. While on a top-secret mission behind enemy lines in Iraq, he found me, the only man I’ve ever loved, SSgt Wyatt Powell. But I don’t remember him. You see, I’m a cyborg now. My human side is at war with my machine side because my human side remembers. I have a new identity and a new mission. I will get my life back, and I will make Wyatt fall in love with me again. And I will seek and destroy those who did this to me. I am Captain Eve Stone, and I am a Soldier of Destruction.
SSGT WYATT POWELL, MERCENARY SOLDIER OF KNIGHTS INC.
I can’t believe it’s her. When she died, it nearly destroyed me. Now I’m facing the fact that she’s been alive all this time, but she’s changed. She’s a cyborg with a new identity, and I’m not the same man she fell in love with. I’ve seen and done things that I cannot undo.
I have memories of how we used to be, of the all-consuming love we once shared, back before I had traversed the depths of hell. Before I lost my soul and willingly became a cyborg soldier for Knights Inc., a private mercenary army for hire, fighting for and protecting important assets of the United States. We do the dirty work no one else will, behind enemy lines in the most dangerous parts of the world, and on American soil. We go where even the bravest of the brave would not dare to go.
We have a new mission: find others like Captain Eve Stone and stop whoever is stealing the lives of American soldiers and turning them into cyborgs against their will. This I will do. I will hunt down those bastards and make them pay. I owe her this, even though I’ve reached the point of no return. I owe her my help in getting her life back, even if I no longer belong in it.
I can’t go back to the way we were, and I don’t know how to go forward, or if I even want to. She would hate the man I’ve become. I’m no longer worthy of her. I am the Dragon, a Knight of Destruction.

5 kickass starsExcellent !!!
This story picks up where Eve of Destruction ends,
Eve/ Kat reunites with Dragon/ Wyatt.
Secrets are revealed, Lives are remembered and Revenge is served.
There are parts of that may be triggers for some.

It was supposed to be a vacation, a time to save her marriage, but what Joan Clayton hadn’t counted on was Murphy’s Law of Vail Mountain and the secrets that had damaged her marriage beyond repair. It was over. Depressed and angry, she decided to venture directly into an oncoming snowstorm, one that would be known as the blizzard of the century.
Stephen Brockheart received the call concerning a missing tourist after working 26 hours straight. A park ranger for the mountain resort, he set out on the routine mission, knowing he was running out of time as the blizzard hit with visibility zero. What he hadn’t counted on was saving a beautiful woman and falling for her, a city girl who knew nothing about the dangers of the mountain. He had been there before and vowed never to return.
As Mother Nature raged, Joan was soon overcome by the feelings a complete stranger evoked in her, causing her to reevaluate her own life. Through the blizzard and stranded at the resort, death was imminent for any who would try to leave. Despite loss and secrets, can two people find love and happiness again?
Can they be given a second chance to make it real and lasting, or will that chance die with them?

Great Intriguing Winter Read!!
By Stephanie

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed this book….first let me say while I don’t like winter, I love a good blizzard if I don’t have to be out in it.

This is the story of Joan and Michael who take a vacation to the mountain resort to get their marriage back on track. Trouble is there are too many outside forces working on that, and when her BFF shows up “coincidentally” the same weekend, Joan is suspicious. She is frustrated and goes for a hike. Things take a turn for the worse, including the weather and Stephen, one of the park rangers is sent out to find her.

Their attraction is mutual once they meet….

They sat side by side, not touching and yet so close. He could feel her body heat, and with the blizzard raging outside and the world cut off and quiet, their closeness felt that much more powerful.

I was totally engaged with the rest of this book, and I’m not sure how to review it since there were so many things I just didn’t see coming and don’t want to give anything away. There are so many emotions I felt reading this, depending on the characters.

This was a great little read, especially in winter, and I loved it!!

“Madison’s Christmas” (Madison Rand Book 1) by Carol Ann Kauffman – #Romance, #Holidays

Line Blurb

Christmas is Madison’s favorite holiday, but this year is different. She has to face it alone, without her father and her best friend/boyfriend Bob, amid the problems of running her own high-stakes business and dealing with family issues.

Can the spirit of Christmas lift a heavy heart?

Line review

Not your typical Christmas reading…
By Amazon Customer

Kauffman creates an interesting organization headed up by a protagonist with several layers–she’s strong, successful, and almost Byronic in that she can help other women so easily yet has a hard time helping herself. I was curious what personal hardship caused Madison to found a woman’s outreach program and how that factored into her difficulties with intimacy and supposed need for control, and I liked the idea that new love can heal old wounds without replacing the people for which we felt the hurt.

Telling the truth in fiction makes it believable. I felt like Kauffman presented a Christmas scenario that speaks to those millions who experience grief around the holiday season and gives them some hope that things can change for them–if they have a little faith.

Jenni has opinions of what a biker club is like. They are not the kind of people she wants to be around. With her brother moving the club back into the Play Pen she needs to come to grip with her fears. She has fears of Tiffi being involved, and she has fears for Momma dealing with a club that abused her.

Loved it!
By Mandie
Jenni’s story for me was a tough read, but I’m glad I read it. She suffered so much during her childhood, so her views on some things are different. She doesn’t understand how Momma can just let the MC back into their world. Her husband, Wayne, has an idea to help her understand that not everyone in the MC are bad. He plans a road trip to show her the good side. Will it work? Only time will tell.

Once Upon a Time… Prince Christophe can’t die. Or, more precisely, if he dies, so does his country. But that hasn’t stopped the King from hosting a ball. And it hasn’t stopped Kit’s enemies from seeking a quick end between the quadrille and the waltz. The Children of the Wood hold out hope that their Assassin Queen will fulfill the prophecy and end Kit’s life. But when Ella vies for the prince’s attention, it’s not a knife that pierces his heart or her own. One waltz at a ball. One trip of a slipper. One Prince. And one Assassin. In the world of the Never Lands, Fairy Tales aren’t quite like you remember.

Tune in Tuesday, July 10th at 4PM! Writer’s Round Table Talks to Scott Moses

Red river radio logo

51BT-QQ3a9L._UY200_
Welcome, and we are gonna have fun today. I have Scott Moses with me this month, and we are talking about his latest Satirical novel FOOLS OF PARODY  and his first book BETWEEN TRUTH AND ETERNITY (SEE SCOTT I GOT IT RIGHT). If you love books that will make you ROFLYAO (ROLLING ON FLOOR LAUGHING YOUR ASS OFF) and make you think a little. These two novels will cause AHA lightbulb moments and may cause slight bladder leakage so get those Depends on while reading. Buckle up this will be a fun ride!
