talks like thunder by Randal Nerhus & Marjorie Carter – Review by Stephanie Tellas)

/0 Comments/in /by

“Arizona Territory, 1871. Seven-year-old Talks Like Thunder can’t imagine life outside of her Apache family. So after both her parents succumb to deadly disease, her heart is ripped in two when her estranged grandfather takes her to his Chiricahua village. Her extraordinary insights into ancient mystical beliefs transform her into a fierce warrior. Preparing to defend their sacred land from invading White men, the driven protector falls for a fellow fighter and his words of a brighter future. But when their tribe is captured by U.S. soldiers, Thunder’s years in captivity fuel her to return to those she loves and take revenge on those who stole her innocence”. The things she had to go through and the people had to go through was rough. Learned some stuff about Native Americans I did not know about, it was interesting book for sure. This is the first in the series and I will probably read the other two. I give it 4 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Natalie and Anthony Snyder have been married for 10 years, but have recently started to struggle in a way that they never have before. Natalie and her best friend, Ginny, have recently started their event planning business. Anthony is now on his second term as mayor of Buckeye Falls. The couple also now has two kids, a 5 year old and a 2 year old. Between all of the different demands on their time, Natalie and Anthony have lost each other and have both started to feel like they are drifting apart and are unsure of how to fix the problem, though they both know they want to fix it and save their marriage. When Natalie and Anthony are given the opportunity to spend a week alone, helping to pack up his parents’ lake house, they are finally able to reconnect and really talk through what they feel and want. This is a great book, the 3rd in this series. It can be read as a standalone book, but I truly doubt that you will want to once you start.

Another Fun and fantastic story to read to our children. Colleen and her Dad have a special job. But the children are afraid of Colleen’s dad, and tease her.

The Synchronicity of Love: Stories that Heal, Transform, and AwakenThe Synchronicity of Love: Stories that Heal, Transform, and Awaken by John David Latta
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really eye opening and inspiring story. The author bravely tells us his journey from almost losing everything to finding himself, happiness and realising what it truelly means to have love in your life.
This books is set up in chapters and each chapter is a story about a certain aspects or event that happened which allowed the author to grow and develop spiritually.
As someone who loves to find ways to improve myself and improve myself spiritually it was a really great read. Reading about the author’s findings and then looking for similar things in my own life.
The author shares some really sensitive stories with us and their ability to be open and vulnerable allows the reader to see that if they can achieve this sense of inner peace and love then so can they.

I loved it.

Her dad says that he is holding up the sky but what will happen when he puts his hands down? I enjoyed the graphics of this story. They are interactive and tell the story in a way that will keep your child engaged throughout. I highly recommend this book for all children.

This is a great children’s book with a message to not be fearful and to work together is better – at least how I read it! The illustrations are gorgeous. It is a good read aloud that takes you through the story of Colleen, her dad and the community. Being fearful and nonbelieving at first, the community was not sure about Colleen’s dad holding up the sky. But in the end, it all comes together when they realize holding up the sky was an important job, dad wasn’t scary and they could all pitch in and help.

Secrets of the Sorcery War (Ruarnon Trilogy #2)Secrets of the Sorcery War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story of Ruarnon and his friends continues in part 2 and I loved it as much as the first! The Secrets of the Sorcery War by Elise Carlson continues to paint elaborate lands, vivid imagery, and rich character portrayals. I love how in this book the chapters/sections are divided between Ruarnon and their companion’s perspectives on what’s going on, not just getting one side. You can see the growth and the internal struggles that is facing everyone. This one did take me longer to get through just because there was SO much more going on. Even though it’s a part two in the trilogy, and there are still endings to be concluded, I also love that it didn’t end on an intense cliff hanger until part 3.
Overall very well written and easy to lose yourself in the storyline! Cannot wait for the 3rd.

Twisted Proposal was just what the title says. If I’m being honest, I’m the beginning I couldn’t get into the book. It took me days to read the first few chapters. I just couldn’t get into it. I didn’t like the main character Ethan and that was it. I gave it a chance and kept reading. There was a change and
I found the book to be a good read. There were reasons why Ethan was the way he was towards Siena. I’m still stuck on why Joyce was sending those emails to Siena. That confused me a bit but all in all, it was a great story once I got into it and I enjoyed reading it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Have you ever made a huge mistake, and quickly learned that sometimes the lesson that was learned was worth it? That’s what happened to Toby, she was a dog trainer who would visit the local prison, and quickly finds herself attracted to John, a man who has been convicted of murder. Toby helps John escape from prison and finds herself on a journey that she never could have fathomed. Toby describes in great detail her experiences from meeting John, to helping John, to her time in prison for the crime of aiding a convicted murder of escape. To me, this book was a good read, it shows the audience what she was feeling and thinking. It was a page turner, and I am a huge fan of true crime and this book didn’t disappoint! I truly feel that if you are a fan of true crime, you will enjoy this book! And just remember, in the words of Toby, “You are more than your greatest mistake”

Brilliant addition to the series
Back in Buckeye Falls with the third book in the series. I love this town and the characters. This is Anthony any Natalie’s story. Always there for everyone else and by all appearances they are perfect but behind closed doors they have lost their way. This contemporary romcom has all the feels. I love every book in the series and it was great to see the other side of Anthony and Nat. Even though each book can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading them all as you get a deeper understanding of the characters, their background and Buckeye Falls.

What a fun story! It’s an entertaining story/myth teaching about helping and being kind. I loved the bright colorful pictures. The story was another big hit in our house for storytime. My grandson now walks around telling me he is holding up the sky. (He is autistic and feels he needs to model heros in many forms). The characters are kind and compassionate. The ones who need to learn lessons always learn a lesson in a good way. I love the stories this author writes because she makes learning fun.

This is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series. So much happens in life when you are an adult and you have jobs and kids and everything; sometimes your relationship falls between the cracks. Is that what has happened to Anthony and Natalie? Is there any way for them to fall back in love? I liked this book but it did take me some time to get into.

This is the third book in this series. But the first of 2 books about Sky and Damon. And if you liked the first 2 books you’ll absolutely love this…
Broody bad boy and take no nonsense Femal MC. Match made in heaven. The authors takes you on a ride with her storytelling and I couldn’t put it down. The character development is excellent and well thought out. The plot is also perfect and melds well with the first 2 books. There’s some character crossover so I would definitely read the first 2.
With the huge cliffhanger I’m super excited that the next book is releasing soon.

Coleen’s dad is a giant who doesn’t have a job. Or so people say. He walks around with his hands in the air and claims he’s holding up the sky. He steals crops and animals from farmers as he walks around holding up the sky. Nobody but Colleen believes him. One day, she invites the kids in her class to a party. Her dad stops holding up the sky to play with the kids. A star falls on her house and another one burns her yard. What will it take for everyone to believe the truth?

Falling Again: A Buckeye Falls NovelFalling Again: A Buckeye Falls Novel by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Falling Again is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series by Libby Kay. This is a charming contemporary romance with a small-town setting- a bit of a romcom with second chances, humour, chemistry, emotion, struggles, pressure, duty, responsibility, expectations, family, friendship, reconnecting, reigniting a spark, realising what’s important, and some drama. I have read a few of Ms. Kay’s books now and have enjoyed them all, and this was no exception and was just as sweet and heart-warming as I expected.
On the surface Anthony and Natalie seem to have the perfect life, but you know what they say about appearances. Their marriage has been stagnating for a while now and the cracks are beginning to show. Anthony, being the Mayor of Buckeye Falls feels he has a lot to live up to considering his father was the former mayor- so Anthony is determined to ensure he exceeds all expectations. Natalie has the pressure of being wife, mother, and business owner. Holding it all together is exhausting. What happens when they get a chance to spend a week together at their lake house. Will they reconnect and rekindle their love? Well worth the read to find out.
I love all the endearing quirky characters- they really bring the stories, and Buckeye Falls to life.
Looking forward to Faking the Fall (Book #4).
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Libby Kay!

Breathless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #3)Breathless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book should be rated a big negative 15 stars because it made me cry. Yes, I said it. This big hard, cold hearted, not a crier was overtaken by all the heavy, intense feels in this book and water leaked from my eyes. As -15 stars is not an official rating and is not a fair one, I can’t help but give it all the stars possible.

I have been a fan of this series since I first dived in with Teddy. I stuck around for Walt, the big ol’softee. I was completely blown away with Hank and his Ella Mae. So, where do we pick up with the Bennett clan? Hank is lost after trying Nashville and finding out that it wasn’t for his band. They didn’t want that life. Weekend gigs in local bars with crowds chanting their name, they were there for that. The hustle and grind of the Nashville music scene, not so much. But he was at home working the family farm.

Feeling sorry for himself, Hank takes himself to a concert for his music idol, Travis Miller. Hank is feeling no pain and looking sad when a pretty girl says hello and offers him water. As Hank talks to the mystery woman, he starts to realize that he might never want to let her go. When she introduces herself as Ella Mae Miller, Hank is stunned. Ella Mae is on tour with her brother. Ella Mae prefers the shadows to the spotlight, so she doesn’t mind being the woman behind Travis’ spotlight.

Hank and Ella Mae bond over many things including family tragedies and the shared knowledge of dark secrets. As some of those secrets start to come to light, Ella Mae must decide who she wants to be and the road she wants to take, knowing that it might cost her one if not both of the men in her life.

Absolutely beautiful. The talk that James gives Hank after they got the news, heart wrenching brotherly love. So many tender moments in this one. It is hard to point to a favorite.

P.S. I see what you are doing to Becky and it better be worth it. Cuz I’m fixin’ to say Nun-uh, No to that.

I love the Buckeye Falls series. It reminds me of hallmark movies. (Maybe hallmark will be interested in turning it into a movie?!) I love for the small town feel. Everyone is so supportive of each other and helpful when needed. There’s love seeping through the pages even if the characters don’t realize it. I honestly loved seeing Anthony (Mayor) in a new light. He came off kind of uppity and out of touch in the last book. Natalie truly is a superhero. Alice was quite the character but I will say by the end of the story I grew to like her. I cannot wait for more about her.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Hussar’s Duty is the third book in The Winged Warrior series. I recommend reading the books previous to this one, but this can still be enjoyed as a standalone story. Jacek has defended his country tirelessly but is now settled with a wife and family. Despite his wife’s best attempts at keeping him busy so he doesn’t feel restless, he is pulled by the call to arms. Will he have to choose between his country and family?
This is well-written historical fiction. The characters are full of depth, and the story is complex but relatable. It has been a while since I read the second book in this series, but I didn’t feel lost in the story. Jacek is an interesting character and shows how a soldier can be so dedicated to a cause. Though this is a bit complex at times, the author draws the reader in, and you don’t want to put it down. I rediscovered this author with this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars

Falling Again is book 3 in the Buckeye Falls series and I love all the books in this series, this book is my favorite. The story really hit home a bit……the struggle of two people who are in love, raising a family and balancing full time careers….and not trying to lose each other in the process…..

Natalie and Anthony have this perfection as a married couple going, or you think they do. Behind closed doors, Natalie and Anthony struggle to keep connected to each other and also with work/life balance. Juggling 2 small children…Natalie building her new business and Anthony as mayor of Buckeye Falls….it is a struggle. When Anthony’s parents ask Natalie and Anthony to go to the lakehouse to clean it out to place it up for sale, this gives them the opportunity to reconnect what was lost. Mix in Anthony’s sister showing up causing chaos, Natalie and Anthony take a break from it all and go all in to pack up the lakehouse and reconnect.

Will Natalie and Anthony come back to each other and get back to being with each other as a priority?

This is a wonderful story, I absolutely could not put this book down. This gave me all the feels of the small town of Buckeye Falls along with second chance romance, love, friendship, secrets and some sugar. I am already looking forward to book 4!!

I read the first book of the series, not the second for some reason but I loved the first book so I knew I’d love this one! I have to go and read the second book ASAP! They’re standalones! Rockstar/musician romances are one of my favorites so this book definitely didn’t disappoint. Hank and Ella Mae are the best and I can’t get enough of them. You think it being a musician romance that it’ll be full of red flags and toxicity but it’s the total opposite of that! So so good. Highly suggest.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

John lost faith in religion early in life and felt lost when his life crumbled around him. He reads about a seminar on unconditional love and spiritual awakening and takes a leap thinking he has nothing to lose as he’s paralyzed by fear. The stories that follow as he embraces his awakening, interprets and listens to his dreams to be in a more conscious state and forgives and lives courageously is immensely satisfying. This book is relatable and not at all preaching anything at all except living as the authentic person you are and understanding no one is perfect and we are all on a journey. This book really hit home with me and I implore anyone to read this!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I have neutral feelings towards this book. The storyline itself was decent, but the writing style is where I struggled. A lot of it seemed almost forced. I don’t typically go for dystopian sci-fi, but thought I’d branch out and try this one because it really did appeal to me.

The story is one of which mystery and the family drama is at the forefront, with the sci-fi background. At one point, the POV changes between Mouse and Meph, who is her older brother. One of the hardest parts for me was that I had a hard time mentally placing the dystopian world, as well as understanding the characters mindsets during their POVs. A lot of it read as if they were entitled and only wanted to do what they wanted, when they wanted.

Other than that, characters were well written. You get a really good sense of who they are and what their flaws are. The storyline was unlike one I’ve read before, which is why I struggled with only feeling “meh” about this one. I desperately wanted to love it instead of liking it.

Overall, I think someone who loves sci-fi dystopian novels will love this one a lot more than I did.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As an adult the issues in this book seem so “child-like” but as an adult of a senior/graduating high schooler these situations are scary- very real and very scary. These situations also seem like too much for young adults to handle. With that being said…UGH! WTF! More high school drama for the Elite at Hidden Valley Academy. Really! Wow!

This time it’s about Damon, brother of Cole. Cole was the star in Savage Start, Savage Lies and Savage Truth. Books that should be read in order but don’t necessarily need to be read before Brutal Days. Damon is the star now, he is in a group called the Elite. They are the top of the top of the popular kids at school…the Elite. Skylar is also a senior at Hidden Valley Academy. She would rather remain a wallflower but when her BFF Gia sets her sights on Damon as part of her “four point plan”, Skylar knows she has to step in. But of course things don’t go as planned. Lies are easier to spin than hurting friends.

Skylar and Damon are HOT. If I put their ages out of my mind…oh my!! Their push and pull..their anger and hate and oh my! Yeah, this is a book that should be read. Period. The cliffhanger ending…oh ding dang daisy….yeah…bring on those Brutal Nights!

While Breathless Love is part of The Bennetts of Langston Falls series, I read it as a standalone and still enjoyed it without any confusion. Even though I read it as a standalone, it gave me a peek into K.G. Fletcher’s writing style, and I am in LOVE with it!

The author really put my emotions through the ringer with this book. I laughed, cried, yelled, and then repeated all over again. The chemistry is absolutely palpable, it just jumps right off the pages. I’m also a country girl at heart, so I’m a sucker for a good old-fashioned country romance. I instantly fell in love with Hank and Ella Mae’s story. The author has such a brilliant way of drawing you in as if you’re experiencing everything firsthand. I am on my way to pick up all the previous books in this series so that I’ll be fully prepared when the fourth book drops!

I love the Bennett family so much. They are all such good people and I wish more families were like this.

It’s Hank’s turn to fall and boy does he. Ella Mae is exactly what he needed at that moment. I would like to think she was a gift from his Mama.

Each of the stories is a standalone happy ending, but I always prefer to read the series in order so I know who everyone is.

Falling AgainFalling Again by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling Again is Book Three in the Buckeye Falls series. This book can easily be read as a standalone, but I do recommend reading the first two books because the characters all intertwine with one another throughout the series. This second chance romance story centers around the characters of Natalie and her husband Anthony.

Anthony and Natalie Snyder’s lives may seem perfect to outsiders, but they struggle to find time to be together because their lives have become too busy. Anthony is consumed by his job as Mayor and the challenges he faces trying to follow in his father’s footsteps. Natalie is overwhelmed with running her business, juggling motherhood, and trying to be everything to everyone all at the same time. When they finally get a chance to go away for some time alone will it be too late to rekindle their romance and save their marriage?

The author did a beautiful job of writing a story about the challenges of juggling both work and family while finding time as a couple. This is a universal issue that many married couples struggle with and not all marriages are able to overcome these struggles. Adding in small town gossip and the challenges of everyone knowing your business before you do added an extra layer of stress and tension. Although the topic seems heavy the author kept the story light, and it was a fun, enjoyable read. The characters of Natalie and Anthony were wonderful, well written, lovable, and relatable. I especially loved the character of Natalie and felt a connection with her as she struggled a bit with her confidence and self-esteem after having children. It was easy to root for this couple as they worked through their struggles. Natalie and Anthony’s story was full of drama, tension, stress, angst, gossip, self-esteem issues, and the delicate balancing act of work, family, and marriage.
