The Lady and the Lionheart by Joanne Bischof
Was informed about this book by The Book Network Club (bookfun.org) and was able to get a copy for my BARD player.
Story starts out with a female voice and it's about Ella and where she works and she runs into a new patient: the man who's holding 7 month old daughter with high fever. The doctor gives his OK to find out her temperature and other information.
After she quickly gets drinks together for her the doctor allows her to watch after the baby. She's only at work and must leave but returns the next day to find the man is in an uproar about the circus people, of which he is one.
Alternate chapters with a male voice are from Charlie's side of things. He introduces her to the circus world when she shows up to tend to the child because she's left her spot at the doctors office.
He comes to find her to tend to the child again and then gives the baby a bath and he returns to work. She's able to watch him work with the lions while holding the child he cares for...
Love hearing how devoted she is to helping others with her knowledge.
Like hearing about the lions and everything about the circus so much to learn about.
Travel, romance, legends that also have religious connections, mysteries, secrets make this story well wroth the time to read it.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
The Curse of Oak Island by Randall Sullivan
We have been watching this on the history channel and it's interesting to us.
This book starts out with who was on the island and the times/years they were there and what they found.
Learned a lot of new things not in the show and it tells you how it all came about. Like all the research done and theories they investigate.
Each picture in the book is also described, good audiobook.

Free Fall by Suzanne Brockmann
A team of SEAL's are in high jump with oxygen and one finds things goes wrong. Izzy leaves his descent to help Tony-just barely breathing.
One chute is gone and he relies on his reserve one. Like all the math involved in the jump, never released it was that precise.
While women are up in Napa at a baby shower their son gets in trouble at school and a brother is called to go rescue him. He is hding that he probably has broken ribs and maybe other problems.
So realistic and up to date as they are discussing gay men in the military and they are not shunned anymore.
Lots of action, I feel as if I am there falling from the sky, the details are so descriptive. Love the horsing around they do but they are also as serious when they need to be.
Such comradely. Love names they have for each other. Can't wait to read more from this author.
