Snowed in with the Rancher by Mary Sue Jackson
This story start with Olivia and she's on a cruise. She meets Tate and they spend a lot of time together, adult situations. She has to leave one day after getting a message through the captain , a family emergency.
Next we hear from her she's arrived in Montana for a job that she's qualified for and has worked for years to obtain, as an administrator. She had tried to find Tate but didn't even know his last name nor where he lived.
Tate, after the cruise tried to find her with no luck, so heads back home to attend to the ranch and the services he performs for the town.
 Olivia and her twin daughters are hiking before they head back to town, getting close to moving into their own house when she starts the job. One girl falls down a hill and Olivia falls right after her. Other joins them and they are no getting out by themselves. Lucikly search and rescue finds them a few hours later... It's Tate and she seems familiar to him.
Love how they plays out. How he finds out who the girls are to him, and they are able to talk to get to know one another again as he takes them in for several days. due to the storm.
They are able to iron out their differences and he helps her when it is time for them to move into their new house. Problem is it should be condemned with all the water damage so he takes them back to his house.
They know it won't work so she goes to his parents where they children can be watched while she's working. They start dating and start from day one to learn about one another.
Wonder if they will actually ever get back together again, the town is a gossipy one and everybody knows things before they are spoken.
Interesting read, unpredictable.

Book Review: The Lightborn Generation Children of the Light and the future of Humanity by Werner Stejskal

  

 
The Lightborn Generation Children of the Light and the future of Humanity
by Werner Stejskal
What I like about this story is that it's not only roman, but has mysteries, sci fic, adventures and so much more.
Starts out with a woman finding herself at a seated area and she has no idea how she got there. She feels a bit different and even had a rape assault investigation at the police station. yes she is pregnant. She does give birth to a daughter and she is sent to a special housing for people like here. Her mind works a lot different than humans minds. They can just look and see what's in the other mind and know everything about them.
This daughter grows up with a lot of others who possess the same attributes as her. She leans towards Ryan and they form a bond that is higher than they could ever image.
They were put on earth to heal humanity and it's explained how it's all done.
It's the only hope the earth has.
Entertaining read, wish there was more length to find out more about this civilization.

Book Review: Cowboy’s Christmas Past by Mary Sue Jackson

  



Cowboy’s Christmas Past by Mary Sue Jackson
Amelia has returned to the town where Beau grew up. She's the star of the new movie that is filming on his family's property. Beau will have to get her to ride the horse for her role. She is so terrified and he draws it out of her, what had happened in her past.
They also get to talk about their other encounters, at college. One day he had to leave and told her his mother was sick. She then died but he hadn't told her the whole story. He had to stay home and take care of his family, his father was a mess.
Love time they do spend with one another and he knows she will be leaving after the movie is filmed. They take his sister into town to get teen clothes and she notices the old cinema is being demolished. She loves historic places and hopes to renovate it.
Even though they like one another again, they both know she has to leave for her career....
Love all the information about the horses as I'm frightened of them also. Lots of helpful info in this book. Also enjoy the photography side and the light Beau uses. Love opening of the cinema, priceless!

Apr 1 Book Review: A Real Collusion by Stu Strumwasser

  

 
A Real Collusion by Stu Strumwasser 
What I like about this book are the politic details, the how and why in step by step thoughts and events. Also enjoyed the people parts of this  story and how different they all were but were voting for the same person. So many different angles.
Skip meets John who is running under a new party and he's raising eyes on the topics that others have seen and witnessed and want to change the way elections are held. Love hearing of all the events during the book. At times the story goes back in time and then forward again, helping you understand the background of what happened.
Appreciate all the name dropping and I like how Skip even travels to visit the shooter in upstate NY where he finds out even more than he wanted to know and understand about.
After the shooting John just leaves, drops out of the race ... didn't see the ending as it did. Book is unpredictable all around. Learned a few new words and enjoyed the story. Would definitely read other works from this author. I felt at times as if I was standing right beside them during events. So vivid and realistic.
Received this review copy from the author via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Mar 31 The Final Storm by Fern Michaels

   

 
The Final Storm by Fern Michaels
This story starts out with Alex and Charlotte and they are on their way from Costa Rica to FL to get her mother out of the nursing home as the hurricane is about to hit.
Then we go back in time when Charlotte was just graduating from high school and then college. Her life photographing nature was her speciality and she was really good at it. She takes offers sometimes for days, sometimes weeks all over the world. Story also focuses on her time with Grant and life choices they were faced to make.
Very moving, powerful story of decisions and options.
Love hearing how this ended. Descriptions are so very detailed and precise I can picture myself there.
Love author's stories, hope there will be more..

Mar 31 Assassin's Wife By Ethan Jones

 
 
Assassin's Wife  By Ethan Jones
Like this story because it's fast paced action and with the step by step in depth details you get to virtually see and feel what the character is going through, how to land and why.
Cole is on a mission and she's going to trail him because she can't contact him in any means they normally use.  She does have a few clues and she follows up on them, not really knowing the exact location.
Just when things are going wrong she has to stick herself in harms way to sway the way things will end up. She's surprised who's there to help her thinking they had a mole in the group...
So much action, travel, adventure and the mysteries from years gone by.
Love how they help together to get the back guys and save their soul but....
Didn't see it ending as it did, can't wait for the next one! Wish they'd make this into a movie, would be a big hit!

Book Review: Notes from the Brand Stand – Warren Kornblum

  


 
Notes from the Brand Stand – Warren Kornblum
This is a self help book that you should handy on your shelf. It explains what to do, who to talk to and who really to pay attention to when it comes to your brand. So many examples of companies that made it big and then closed.  You not only have to pay attention to the customers but also what they are doing and what new trends you will have to incorporate into your brand to keep it selling to others. If you don't your store will close. Love the word of mouth to spread about your products.
Love the examples of the children playing with new toys and not asking them what they think about them, but just by watching how they play with it, for how long or how short of a time before they go find another toy to play with.
They are key notes in each chapter. It's all summarized at the end to make it easier for you to check off the things you've done and which you need to work on.
Great resource book. So much imagination and inspirations and confident structures to base your company on.
