Book Review: Scarlet Odyssey by Brian H. Roberts

  

 

Scarlet Odyssey by Brian H. Roberts

Justin and David grew up as siblings. Oldest is the bully. Years later they both own a place of business. They are now selling high end boats. David makes the deals and Justin's name is on all the sales. Justin finds out later that his name is on the sales and he questions David and they think they should go to the authorities. Justin has traced the LLC to the cartel.  At a gathering the boys and The fiancée attended but Justin has been sold into human trafficking. Ends up in the jungles and working in the mines, and he meets a priest that helps him out but it's a long road home. He has evidence. So many brutal assaults, deaths and gore in this story.

Like how Justin helps others when he can....love the retaliation. So justified for his family members.

Like how this moves into the next book: earth minerals on Mars and how Justin plans to get them for US  companies he owns...

Didn't think I'd enjoy this book as much as I did. Well thought out. Very descriptive details, felt at times I was there in the room. Would like to read more form this author.

 

Book Review: Montana Sanctuary by Josie Jade

   

 

Montana Sanctuary by Josie Jade

This story is about Evelyn and she's on the run. Thought for the past several years she was safe, now she knows he's back again. She has the collection of rings to prove it so she moves on. Like how she tries to protect herself and lands at a sanctuary ranch where others are healing and they all form a nice team working through things. She also has a job in town and she waits on others and the owner bakes. She enjoys it.  Story also follows Lucas who's got problems of his own. He also is a horse whisperer and he has one client that's giving him a hard time. He has hallucinations that wake him up night and he has to put on every light in the house and just walk. He sometimes walks outside where he found Eve and they get to talk and he keeps his distance, telling her in his way that he knows she's hurting.

Nathan from Eve's past thinks he owns her and her body, etc. He's on the trail again and he's found her again. The black rose petals throughout her cabin are the sign along with a piece of jewelry.

She is petrified and Lucas will take her into his cabin from there on. The men ramp up the security around the property as they find out more details about Nathan.

His money can buy anything... Last ditch effect the men leave to get Nathan. Eve's friend at the coffee shop call and needs a jump for her car. The two surrounding Eve all go and things are going ok, the car won't stop they will just drive her home.  Nathan shows up and explosions occur and he's able to kidnap the two women.  Such a scary tale from then til the hospitals scenes. Eve is conscious again and Lucas leaves to get a snack. When he returns there is the black rose petal... So scary for them all. Nathan had bought his way out of jail and state police guarding him to show up at the hospital.

Creepy book for me but i just couldn't put it down. Love the ending. Like hearing how Eve actually was able to help with the animal therapy program as the horse didn't like men. She had grows up knowing what to do with horses. Would read another book in this series. Very super descriptive and chilling to the bone in some instances.

 

Mar 19 Her Guardian’s Salvation by charlee james

  

 

Her Guardian’s Salvation by charlee james

Love this story about Ivy who's a house inspector. When she's on the job she hears others in the house and knows she has to escape from where she is, heads to the woods and gunshots follow her. She falls down a cliff and Jude is the one to find her. He is having his annual cabin in the woods retreat to forget aobut how his family died and he blames himself. He is able to rescue Ivy.

It's only the beginning as she tells her story to him. Investitive cops take over and track down leads to find the men and it gets more involved from there.

What a story!  Adult situations but love the moments she is able to connect with Jude because of her brother Ash who has some of the same ailments that he deals with. Love catching up with the rest of Jude's team and their lives.

Would recommend this story but best if read from the very beginning.

Can't wait to read the next one already.

Book Review: Bait the Devil Book 2 of A Bounty of Shadows by Winter Austin

  

   

Bait the Devil Book 2 of A Bounty of Shadows by Winter Austin

Story starts out with Dot and she's on a mission to catch the bounty for her and the group.

She's not a PI yet but others are and they get leads on the bounty and who they need to be capturing.

Love the step by step process and how they are able to track the culprits down and get them.

Love the team and what they mean to one another and how well they work as a team.

Lots of action, mystery, and adventure.

Like how the missions go on target then things go haywiere and then it even gets worse. Super love the ending, didn't see that happening! Can't wait to read more form the author.

Book Review: Travel With Style by Anastasia Pash

  

 

Travel With Style by Anastasia Pash

Love this book because it's written by someone who's traveled the world since in her young years. She lists a country and tells you about the clothing you should bring, depending on the time of year: all of the seasons.  Even includes day/night temps to be aware of. The customs and traditions are also mentioned along with rules/laws about illegal things and other things that you might do to put yourself in harms way by dressing provocatively warranting unwanted advances. There are so many locations and countries and so much to do that she also lists and how to dress for a theater vs. a walkthrough town.

It's all about combination clothing, where you can wear a light weight sweater in multiple outfits and how to take a photo of the ensemble so you won't have to hassle with searching through clothes that you brought with you.

LOVE FAQ'S  at  the end where she explains which container/suitcase/backpack to use and when and how to pack them properly. SO much valuable information in this book.

 

Book Review: Sisters in Christ: Defeat the Enemy One Powerful Prayer At a Time (JESUS in the EVERYDAY) by Cheri Swalwell

  

 

Sisters In Christ by Cheri Swalwell

Book starts out with a dedication page then a note from the author about SIC Society

Table of contents is enclosed.

Introduction talks about how the author became a Sister In Christ.

Chapters start out with a title and the theme for that chapter, and the author's story.

Segments also include: What does the Bible say, Real Life, Takeaway for Today,  Prayer to Abba and Your turn where the Q&A and discussions questions are listed.

Like this format throughout the book because I like order and being uniform.

What I learned from this book is a lot-Love how the author takes a thought and relates how it directly effects her and her family and how SIC's can help one another even from different backgrounds and at a different place in their lives.

Like the sections about the Bible-they make the passage come to life, in real life terms.

Even Covid19 is mentioned several times as it relates to some discussions.

Love the part about the Brothers in Christ-that was a surprise to read about, Love Indians and their traditions and customs.

Book is so down to earth and easy to put into your own life situations.

Listened intently to this book as I baked by hand so noise of mixer wouldn't take over what I was hearing and I felt a peace, calm and no upheaval.

Like the conclusion and how to reach out to others. Ends with contact the author and bio of the author.

Love how the author opens up in many cases and I recall going through several in my lifetime as well.

  Also there are questions to ask yourself if the topic is revelent to you, and the 'takeaway' for the section is also super helpful summarizing the whole section.

Author makes this book so easy to follow along and how you can pick out the moments in your own life where the Holy Ghost was actually right there with you the whole time.

Such a blessing to be able to read and review this book. Contents will stick with me for a long time.

Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
