Our Own Country 
The Midwife Series
by Jodi Daynard



About the book:

A love affair tests a new nation’s revolutionary ideals.

In 1770s Boston, a prosperous merchant’s daughter, Eliza Boylston, lives a charmed life—until war breaches the walls of the family estate and forces her to live in a world in which wealth can no longer protect her.


As the chaos of the Revolutionary War tears her family apart, Eliza finds herself drawn to her uncle’s slave, John Watkins. Their love leads to her exile in Braintree, Massachusetts, home to radicals John and Abigail Adams and Eliza’s midwife sister-in-law, Lizzie Boylston. But even as the uprising takes hold, Eliza can’t help but wonder whether a rebel victory will grant her and John the most basic of American rights.

An uphill quest for love. 

Nearly thirty, over-endowed with curves, and under-endowed with boyfriends, Gillian Shaw’s life is not going to plan. Still hopelessly in love with her childhood friend and neighbor Jack Larson—who only sees her as his best pal—she clearly needs to make some changes. Realizing she’s never going to get her happily ever after with the man she loves, Gill decides to date a nice bank manager in her first step toward a new life. She’s going to put her feelings for Jack behind her no matter how much it hurts. 

Jack loves Gill. He always has. She’s been his side-kick since school. Suffering with him through his failed marriage and has been a second mom to his six-year-old daughter. Seeing her in a relationship that gets serious way too fast is causing him sleepless nights. He’s worried that she’s rushing into things and worried that he’ll lose her friendship. But most of all, he’s worried that all this time he’s been a complete idiot, and the way he loves her might not be the way he’d thought.


When Killian MacGregor, the hottest quarterback in the NFL, eyes the perfect pair of female legs, he spends an hour tracking the gorgeous woman in a room filled with rowdy teammates until one gets out of line.

Rebecca Cavanaugh, a long distance runner for the state team, intimidates boys and men with her quick wit and majestic height. The pre-season jock party isn’t her scene, but she’s roped into attending to provide her sister a sober ride home.

Hiding in the kitchen to avoid the athletic sex fest, a drunken thug forces Rebecca to her knees, and waves a giant ding-dong in her face. Before Rebecca can extricate herself from the hairy situation, an unknown champion saves the night. When Killian assists Rebecca off the floor, she’s stunned into silence while staring at the sexiest man alive.

Will Killian’s bad boy rep and Rebecca’s need for commitment, make this the most impossible “Play” of the season? Or, will Killian’s haunting past and need for victory destroy the most important game of his life?

My name is Meredith 'Merry' Gentry, but of course it's not my real name. I dare not even whisper my true name after dark for fear that one hushed word will travel over the night winds to the soft ear of my aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness. She wants me dead. I don't even know why...

I fled the high court of Faerie three years ago and have been in hiding ever since. As Merry Gentry, I am a private investigator for the Grey Detective Agency: Supernatural Problems, Magical Solutions. My magical skills, scorned at the courts of Faerie, are valued in the human world. Even by human standards, my magic isn't flashy, which is fine by me. Flashy attracts attention and I can't afford that.

Rumour has it that I am dead. Not quite. I am Princess Meredith NicEssus. To speak that name after dark is to call down a knock upon your door from a hand that can kill you with a touch. I have been careful, but not careful enough. The shadows have found me, and they are going to take me back home, one way or another.

So the running is over. But the fighting has just begun...

Rich, sensual, brimming with dangerous magic, A Kiss of Shadows is a dazzling tour-de-force where folklore, fantasy and erotically charged adventure collide. 


In the Ichidian Universe, The League and their ruthless assassins rule all. Expertly trained and highly valued, the League Assassins are the backbone of the government. But not even the League is immune to corruption . . .

Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades once turned his back on the League—and has been hunted by them ever since. Though many have tried, none can kill him or stop him from completing his current mission: to protect Kiara Zamir, a woman whose father’s political alliance has made her a target. 

As her world becomes even deadlier, Kiara must entrust her life to the same kind of beast who once killed her mother and left her for dead. Old enemies and new threaten them both and the only way they can survive is to overcome their suspicions and learn to trust in the very ones who threaten them the most: each other.

My thoughts:

Liked the first half of the story. I thought Jenny and Kyle looked a cute couple bantering from dawn til evening. Loved that part. Then it became annoying as I realize the hero is a manipulative bastard. The kind of cop you'd want to be killed in duty! He's rarely shown a soft side, always intimidating the heroine with a few 'trying to woo scenes'. I decided to stop reading when the crime story became a love and lust story. Jenny is a widow, for only a year, yet she's acting as if she never had a dead husband!

About the book:

When Jenny Warwick is asked to provide cover for a DEA agent so he can infiltrate the small town where she lives, she protests none of her neighbors would be involved with drugs.

Note: I received a review copy of this book free from the author, Mariel Grey. The review posted below is based on my personal thoughts while reading the book.

My thoughts:

Lucy's story just didn't work for me. Having read and loved (!) Monique's story (book 2), I expected this to be in that level. Although I found this book enjoyable, I didn't get past the 3rd quarter of the story (with a little skimming). The plot moves too slow for me. The writing felt historical, but the way the characters are described or played, too modern. I found Lucy and Chalifour as two playing young teens as opposed to how I felt in book 2. Overall, I would rate this as an okay read. 

About the book:

Lucy Goodwin knows more about horse breeding than a proper young lady should. Her brother’s thoroughbred business has given her purpose and independence, but when an accident leaves her solely in charge, despair and destruction threaten her every move. Trapped in an impossible position, Lucy must do the right thing and watch their dreams crumble, or save their livelihood at a cost too great to bear.

Lord Philip Lyton, Marquess of Chalifour is a member of the prestigious Jockey Club, dedicated to eliminating cheating in horse racing. Trouble raises its ugly head when his business partner falls foul of an accident and he’s suddenly forced to deal with the man’s sister, who seems alarmingly out of her depth. Chalifour respects Lucy’s steely resolve, but knows that single-mindedness can be the most dangerous trait of all.

She might be beautiful and beguiling, but Lucy Goodwin is keeping secrets and Chalifour is determined to find out what they are.

About the author:


From the moment she could put pen to paper, Mariel Grey knew she wanted to be a writer. Like all good adventures however, it didn't happen overnight; it was after several decades of working in litigation that the desire to create dramatic worlds and characters became too great to ignore. Her first foray into historical romance, Surrender of Trustexplored the grime and glamour of regency horse racing, following the determined but impoverished Lucy Goodwin and upright Lord Chalifour. Her second novel, A Gentleman's Surrender, released in January 2016, introduced the innocent Lady Monique and tortured Mr. Stanton, both struggling to find love in a world filled with deceit. 

Though entirely at home in the ballrooms and street alleys of London past, Mariel Grey is currently working on a contemporary story set in Florida, a landscape dear to the author's heart. When she isn't conjuring words on her computer screen, Grey can be found on the water fishing, snorkeling, and enjoying the incredible natural beauty of her home. 


Mariel has a wonderful husband (the hero of her own romantic story) as well as a mischievous cat (who seems happy to play the role of villain). In addition to being a dutiful wife and animal wrangler, Mariel is a member of the Romance Writers of America and the Ancient City Romance Authors chapter.

Nickels
by Karen Baney



Amazon 5-star Ratings: 54%

About the book:

Niki Turner has finally arrived. Her career as a Software Engineer is soaring—she has just been offered the company’s most sought after account, Helitronics. Life would be perfect, if she could stop her roommate from playing matchmaker.


Then Kyle Jacobs mysteriously re-enters her life. As painful memories resurface, his presence turns her life upside down and threatens to waylay her career. She must find a way to work with him—after all, he’s the helicopter flight consultant for the new flight control system she’s coding.


Can she forget the past and see him as the new man he has become? Or will her resentment keep her from finding what she has always been searching for?


Book Review originally posted in February 2012

Niki Turner has been hurt in the past, lost her parents to an accident and God also took her brother a few years after the accident. This is the main reason why she doesn't want to keep anyone close to her heart. She is afraid of meeting other people simply because she might lose them too. 

She wants nothing from other people and then she found herself working with Kyle Jacobs, Marcy's (Niki's best friend) brother. Niki is attracted to Kyle but she fears any romantic relationship with him won't last so she's shutting him out. However, Kyle is determined to win her heart. 

At first, I didn't feel any connection with the main character, Niki Turner. I was kind of annoyed with her attitude although I was really trying my best to understand her situation. When Kyle Jacobs appears in the story, I began to like Niki. I began to understand her situation. Kyle is one sweet guy and I liked him instantly. He is also carrying a not-so-good past but I'm glad it didn't take too long for him to realize that digging up the past does no good. I enjoyed reading the story. Though there's one more thing I just couldn't believe in the story. When Niki's brother died, Kyle didn't know about it! It's just unbelievable because Kyle's sister is Niki's best friend! And to think that more than eight years has passed and Marcy never told her brother about it??

All in all, Nickels is a sweet story of trusting and finding love again. I found it a good Christian novel though I think it is "too clean" for my taste.  If you want a "hard core" Christian novel, you might one to pick up this book.

Guest Author: Lynne Hinkey 'Writing is an Endurance Sport'



Writing is an Endurance Sport


Hello Readers, and thank you, Jenai, for this opportunity to sit down for a chat with your fans and followers at Bookingly Yours.

I'm Lynne Hinkey, and as my tagline and business cards will tell you, I'm an author, marine scientist, and curmudgeon. I've written three novels, all set in the Caribbean, where I spent many years studying, working, playing, and gathering great story ideas from the quirky characters that tend to gather in tropical climes. 

One of the most frequently asked questions I get as a writer is, what advice would you give to aspiring writers? While I've learned (and continue to learn) so very much about the craft of writing, marketing, and the business of publishing the most important bit of advice I've received and would pass on is:

Writing is an endurance sport. 


That's been my mantra since I started on my writing journey about eleven years ago. I'm thankful that many who've come down this path before me shared that wisdom. Today, with an ever-expanding range of options available for writers to get their work out into the world, it's easier than ever to sprint to the "finish line" of having a book published. But, for anyone looking for a career, who wants to establish a reputation as a writer and not only publish books, but have a following of readers, sprinting to publish can often do as much harm as good.

Like in a marathon, runners who go out too fast run out of energy and get passed by those who take the long view and hold back at the start, when excitement and enthusiasm are high. Over the miles, eagerness will be replaced by exhaustion, ambition by frustration. After putting in those early miles that lead to writing "the end" on the last page, marathoners know that's where the hard work starts. 

After writing "the end," the editing, revising, and rewriting begin. Those are the tough middle miles, where the sprinters fall to the wayside. For those looking to complete the race, there's no short cut through those miles. For those who do take a short cut, the "victory" will be fleeting. Just ask Rosie Ruiz. (Go ahead and Google that name. I'll wait.)


How do any of us get through those bleak middle miles? Look to your favorite writers, the ones with staying power, who have grown their fan-base over years of slow, steady work. I look to Christopher Moore, who took eight years between deciding to become a writer and selling his first book, Practical Demon Keeping. He spent a year writing it, and almost another whole year polishing and editing before it sold. His persistence and care paid off. His writing and his example inspire me and remind me that I'm in for the long haul. Writing, becoming an author, is an endurance sport.

About the author:

I am a marine scientist by training, a writer by passion, and a curmudgeon by nature. I'm also an Olympic-caliber procrastinator...er, pacer, you know, for getting through the long, arduous journey of writing. I honed that skill through years of practice and dedication to life on island-time. I use my experiences living in the Caribbean to infuse my novels with tropical magic, from the siren call of the islands to the terror and hysteria caused by the mysterious chupacabra.

My short stories and essays have appeared in The Constellation International Literary Review, Skylines, The Petigru Review, Infective Ink, Two Hawks Quarterly, and other print and online publications.  My debut novel, Marina Melee, was released by Casperian Books in 2011, followed by Ye Gods! A Tale of Dogs and Demons (2014). The sequel, The Un-Familiar: A Tale of Cats and Gods, comes on July 1, 2016.

You can read more about me and my writing at http:www.lynnehinkey.com, or on Facebook (Marina Melee by Lynne M. Hinkey) or Twitter (@LMHinkey).


About my books:


My first novel, Marina Melee, is the story of George Marsh who sails away to the Caribbean to escape the rat race and finds that living the easy life is hard work. In my second novel, Ye Gods! A Tale of Dogs and Demons, bestselling author Jack Halliman (a minor character in Marina Melee), sails to Puerto Rico to get over his writer's block and instead becomes one of two suspects in a murder investigation--the other is the mythical chupacabra. Jack has to prove his innocence, but that might mean proving the chupacabra is real.

The Un-Familiar: A Tale of Cats and Gods--the sequel to Ye Gods! and my third novel-- comes out on July 1. In it, the chupacabra, known to a select few people as the dog-god of Mercy, is back. This time, he's brought friends, and maybe even an enemy or two. There's a beast of a storm brewing and only a god can stop it. The question is, which one? The chupacabra stories (a trilogy is planned, and the third Ye Goddess! A Tale of Girls and Gods is in development) are comic-fantasy tales that explore the way our beliefs become reality and affect our actions, and the consequences of those actions.
