I am enjoying reading the Medieval Fairytales by Demelza Carlton. She does such a wonderful job of remaking old classics to make these stories her own. With all the aspects of a medieval story, monsters, heroes and the classic maiden (ok maybe not the classic) but a maiden nevertheless. <br />
<br />
A maiden dying for adventure! A prince on a perilous quest. Monsters that must be slain.<br />
<br />
Once upon a time…<br />
<br />
After losing a battle with a dragon, George is desperate to salvage his reputation. Only he can’t do it alone – he needs an assistant.<br />
Royal tailor Melitta longs for adventure, so when she hears of a job opening for an apprentice hero, she jumps at the chance. Slaying monsters must be more exciting than sewing.<br />
<br />
Can the unlikely pair still succeed at their quest – or will they fall for each other instead? <br />
<br />

<br />
J. Corrine is a new author to me and this is her first release. The story introduces us to Jeannie who is a bit of a wild child who won't conform to her parent's wishes. The story follows her attempts to be more than just the next in line to the family expectation. This is an easy read, with some amusing parts, sad parts and lovely parts, all of which makes up the life of Jeannie.<br />
<br />
Can a free spirit find the freedom she craves?<br />
<br />
Jeannie Astor chases after her dreams while her identical twin adheres to the path their parents laid. The wild child seeks relief from her stifling life in New York and will do anything to see the world at large.<br />
<br />
After Jeannie makes her escape, she soon discovers that freedom may come at too high a price. When she returns home, she tries in earnest to live up to the demands of her family name. Stymied by rules, rejection, and criticism at every turn, she fights to hang on to what little is left of herself.<br />
<br />
When reality and dream collide, will she become someone she swore she’d never be?<br />

<br />
A very colourful and light hearted story by Michelle Irwin. This story introduces us to Ariana (The Artist) and Hennessy (Bar Manager) and a whole lot of misunderstandings make for some amusing moments. <br />
<br />
A whirlwind of color meets a man whose face could launch a thousand ships, and at least that many orgasms.<br />
<br />
When art school student Ariana stumbles onto Cecelia’s, a hidden bar on New York’s Fifth Avenue, she finds her muse. After their first meeting, she wants him in her bedroom anyway she can, even if she has to paint him there herself.<br />
<br />
<br />
Her attempts to capture his likeness could provide the passion her art needs, if they don’t drive her crazy first.<br />
<br />
Hennessy is the last man defending his mother’s legacy from his stepmother’s plans to remodel Cecelia’s. When a mysterious young woman crashes into his life, he’s unable to forget her or the crazy things she does.<br />
<br />
Can her storm bring calm to his life or will her manic influence cost him everything?<br />

The two words that come to me when I started to read this story were WOW and OMG. Michelle Irwin writes this very emotional story with such grace and poise and is a true love story. Take your tissues with you when you start reading the final phase in Phoebe Reede's story. <br /><br />Sometimes happily doesn’t last ever after.<br /><br />Beau Miller believes the worst of the battles are behind him and Phoebe. They’ve found their way together despite the odds and have settled into their new normal. Only, an unexpected discovery will change everything.<br /><br />Will Beau find the beacon he needs to guide him through the biggest certainty of life?<br />

I love the Phoebe Reede Story, all the highs and all the lows. Michelle Irwin knows how to write a very intriguing story will twists and turns that run smoothly in the written word. Michelle has a few surprises in this book but these go a long way to explain quite a few things in earlier books (won't go into spoiler details).<br /><br />When she came home she had nothing left, but now she wants it all.<br /><br />After fighting her way back from tragedy, Phoebe Reede is ready to claim the life she deserves. With Beau at her side, she thinks it might be possible. Only, the things she wants are out of her reach.<br /><br />Can Phoebe find joy in what she has, or will she destroy her own happiness chasing a phantom?<br /><br />**Due to strong language and sexual content not intended for anyone under the age of 18. Some books in this series contain content, including sexual assault and violence, that may trigger emotional distress in some readers.**<br />

This is the last book in the Son of Rain series and tells the final story of Evie & Clay from Clay's point of view. This completes both companion series "Son of Rain" and "Daughter of Fire" so that either series can be read alone or together. Michelle Irwin holds true to the entire series in this book and it helps the reader understand what occurred from another point of view. She also wrote about love conquering all and that no matter what life throws at you if you work hard at something and truly believe then the outcome might be what you wish for.<br /><br />If love is a river of memories, what happens when the water runs dry?<br /><br />After all they’ve fought for, Clay Jacobs and Evie Meyers are finally able to find peace and a joy they never expected to experience. There is only one problem—the changes they’ve helped initiate in the Rain are under threat. In order to protect the new order, and his family, Clay must take one final mission.<br /><br />When things go wrong, Clay must trust his instincts as he’s sent on a hunt for the creature responsible. Will he recognize the phoenix in time to save her life, or will their love end in tragedy as prophesized?<br />

Michelle Irwin has a way of catching you in and captivating your heart and soul in her writing. This is the 4th book in Phoebe's story and what a story it is. This story is heartbreaking at times but also shows the love that Beau and Phoebe's family have for her. To truly appreciate this book you must read Pheobe's Story from the beginning<br /><br />Finding a new normal is never as easy as it seems.<br /><br />Phoebe Reede has suffered unimaginable tortures at the hands of her captors. Now home and safe, she can’t let go of the things that happened to her. No amount of therapy or coaxing by her parents can draw her from her shell.<br /><br />How can she learn to live again, when everything she loved about herself is gone?<br />

I really enjoyed this story, set in a medieval time we meet Valamine who should be a soft gifted healer but as the story evolves and much to the annoyance of the other main character Nyle she proves herself to be a totally kickass heroine. This story is well paced with just the right amount of action and romance.<br /><br />Valamine is a gifted healer, and her life studying with the herb witch, Elder-Sha Ameena, is peaceful. When her home is attacked and her elders slain, the fate of the land is thrust upon her with the dying breath of her mentor. Now she must leave everything she knows and journey to a far-off city to stop the forces of hell from overwhelming her world. But it isn't the daemons, hungry for her blood, making her nerves shatter and her heart pound like a tribesman’s drum, it's the two hundred and fifty pounds of lean, toned warrior sworn to keep her from harm.<br /><br />Fighting is what Nyle lives for. He relishes the rush of battle, even with the odds against him and a horde of daemons bearing down on him. When he’s tasked with the latest mission, it is a seemingly simple one—protect the girl, save the world. Easy enough for a skilled warrior who prides himself on coolness under pressure. Something about the bold healer though is testing his restraint to beyond breaking, and he can’t keep his mind on the game. But if he fails and the daemons come, how can he face losing his bewitching Valamine<br />

THE JOB: PROTECT A RAGTAG CREW OF GORGEOUS ROLLER DERBY GIRLS FROM A STALKER. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?<br />I found it a little slow to start with but it I did finish it, I found the pace picked up toward the end and the story ended a lot better than it began.<br /><br />"Dev is at it again. Put the coffee on, and plan to stay up late, this is a real page turner." -The Irish Gazette<br /><br />Dysfunctional, bumbling, crazy babe-magnet Dev Haskell, Private Investigator, has just landed the job of a lifetime. He'll be the envy of every guy with a heartbeat: Dev is hired to provide security for a team of beautiful English roller derby stars (with stage names like Harlotte Davidson and Helen Killer). Though he'd rather be standing guard in the shower room, he finds himself in a world of trouble when he's mistaken for the stalker-turned-killer he's been tracking.<br /><br />With an attorney who drinks too much and a team of females ready to kill him, Dev must prove his innocence, all the while finding the real killer and protecting himself against the wiles of yet another irresistible and dangerous woman.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“I’m afraid my granddaughter has forgotten her manners,” Nana said,
sticking out her hand. “You must be Beau.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">I clenched my jaw. Her casual mention of his name, as if his identity
was the most obvious thing in the world, had to have made it clear I’d been
talking about him. That was the last thing I wanted him to know. Still, it was
too late to change it. “Sorry, Beau, this is my nana, uh, Kelly Reede.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“Nice to meet you, Mrs Reede. I can see where Phoebe got her enchanting
eyes.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“It’s Ms actually. It has been ever since I left my husband for his
constant cheating.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">I wanted the ground to tear apart and swallow me whole. For half a
second, I debated trying to fake a sudden and unexpected emergency just to get
out of the room. She’d stuck with Granddad for a long time after the first time
he’d cheated, but with Dad’s help had eventually found the strength to leave.
After that, her confidence had only blossomed and she’d grown more and more
like Dad all the time. Now, she often said the thoughts that crossed her mind
without thinking through all of the consequences. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Beau’s eyes narrowed. “Well, I guess it’s not just the eyes that run in
the family,” he muttered under his breath. He shook off the mood an instant
later. “It was lovely to meet you, Ms Reede. It’s always nice getting any
insight into our Phoebe. She’s a bit of an enigma.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">It was Nana’s turn to frown as her gaze spun to me. “That’s odd, because
we’ve always found her to be a straight shooter, just like her Dad.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“Maybe it’s just us guys she likes to play ’round with.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">My hands found my hips. “Maybe she’s in the fucking room and you should
both stop talking about her like she’s not.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“Phoebe!” Nana exclaimed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Beau’s gaze was fixed on me, his lips curled up into a snarl. He dropped
the expression a second later when he turned back to Nana. “Don’t worry about
it, Ms Reede. I’m used to her gutter mouth. She’s turned it on me often enough.
Haven’t ya, darlin’?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">I wanted to turn it on him again. My fingers clenched and unclenched at
my side. “If there’s nothing else you wanted, I think we’ll be going now.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“Actually, I was hopin’ to have a word or two with ya alone.” Beau’s
gaze turned from me back to my nana. “If ya don’t mind. It won’t take a
minute.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">I could feel Nana’s gaze passing between Beau and me. “Not at all,” she
said after a moment. “I’ll go sign myself out and wait in the car.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.6pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">It would have been so much easier if she’d said no. If she’d demanded my
undivided attention while she was in the country. Instead, a minute later I was
face-to-face with Beau. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Alone.</span><br />

The main reason for my 3 starts is that I am not really into the 2 POV in the same book, I find this book jumped a little to much for my liking but I did read it to the end. The story line is good and I think if it was written in 1 POV or 3rd Party it may have read better. The story is YA and as such someone of that age may like it written the way it was. <br><br>Just your average boy-meets-girl, boy-kills-people story.<br><br>The Native American Navajo tribe has stories of a monster so wicked, so blood-thirsty, that they are to be hunted down and slaughtered. But are they just legends? Or is something sinister lurking in the shadows? The Yee Naaldlooshi—skinwalkers—have the ability to transform themselves. And they can be anyone. Anything.<br><br>The Hunters—a group dedicated to tracking the creatures—are hot on their trail and they won’t stop until every last one is dead. But are they all as evil as foretold? Seb, alpha of the Taylor, Arizona reservation pack, begins to question the acts of their kind. But he’s broken a rule and must choose between killing the girl he loves or risking everything to save her. Cassie must fight for her survival. The pack is after her. And they’re no joke. Cass is about to find out how sadistic they can be.<br />

This was my first taste of a Montana Ash story and boy did she get me hooked in straight away. The characters bounced to life, a movie in my imagination. This story of a rebel who has managed to survive just and a band of misfits.<br><br>The blub<br><br>Ryker is a paladin. An ancient knight, born to protect those precious few who hold powers over the elements. He is bound by honour, courage and loyalty. But when tragedy strikes he forsakes everything he stands for, vowing never to serve again. He opens his home to other rejected and dishonoured knights ... but never his heart. That is, until a sarcastic, sword-wielding, miniature Warden barges into his life, bringing chaos and mayhem to his carefully ordered world.<br><br>Will he forgive himself for past mistakes? Or will old wounds continue to scar his future?<br><br>Max is different. She has a strange affinity to nature and finds herself constantly causing disasters wherever she goes. What's more, strange creatures stalk her every step, their relentless pursuit driving her to the brink of exhaustion. Stumbling upon a gaggle of hot ancient knights seems too good to be true but she can't deny they have the answers she's looking for. Too bad their Captain is a growly, insensitive jerk who insults her every time he opens his gorgeous mouth.<br><br>Should she trust her instincts and allow herself to hope for the first time in her life? Or will her fierce independence cause her to lose the one thing she has always craved - a home?<br />

I have really enjoyed Montana Ash's 2 book in the Elemental Paladins Series. The righting is fluid and runs like a movie in your head. I loved getting to know more about the characters first introduced in the "Warden" (Book 1). The Rebel Goddess and her misfit band of Paladins that no one else wants.<br><br>The Blub<br>Honour. Duty. Loyalty. Control. These are the principles Darius lives by – almost to the point of obsession. They had forged him into a noble knight but had also cost him the woman of his dreams and wrought a non-relenting hatred for his personal nemeses; the shades.<br><br>When a tiny, redheaded, whirlwind of trouble descends upon him and his fellow knights in a flurry of questions and impossibilities, Darius finds himself struggling to reconcile his past values with his future desires.<br><br>For Diana, the arrival of Max brings with it a portent; revolution. As a paladin of death, acceptance is at her core. So embracing the sarcastic powerhouse as her sworn liege is easy. But embracing a certain air paladin who is a pathological rule-follower? Well, that isn’t so easy, despite the attraction they have shared for centuries.<br>With Darius confronted by his demons and a bitter Warden bent on exacting revenge, will the two knights ever reach their happily ever after?<br />
