My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story is absolutely amazing!!! Both reluctant to meet for business dealings neither of them is interested in, Caitlin and Evarist are both strong willed and bullheaded, yet charming and enjoyable, sweet, and lovable. Their relationship is so fun, as they get to know each other while also rediscovering themselves. The author does such an amazing job creating characters that are so real with such incredible back stories. Every time you think you are figuring everything out; she throws in another head spinning plot twist. The Characters and lore intertwined into this story is so detailed and thought out making this a truly fascinating story or stories 😉

The Hussar’s Duty (The Winged Warrior Series Book 3) by Griffin Brady – Review by Valerie Anderson

The Hussar's Duty (The Winged Warrior #3)The Hussar’s Duty by Griffin Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Hussar’s Duty is a love story full of history and conflict between duty to country and family. Jacek goes to battle for his country while struggling with his obligations to his family he has left behind and those with him. This story has excellent history and emotions all packed together. Reading this book, I did not know it was book 3 of the series, but I could pick up hints of previous stories. I am glad I could follow the story without reading the first two.
The relationship between Oliwia and Jacek is so enduring. Their respect and understanding of each other is so inspiring. The heartache of being away from family at war and not knowing how his family is doing or if he would even return to them is so heart-wrenching, As well as the conflict with his young brother-in-law struggling with the growing pains of trying to find his place while learning the true meaning of being a man and a warrior. Honestly, going into this book, I didn’t know what to expect, but I really enjoyed it from the perspective of a mother and wife. I enjoyed the brotherhood and comradery of the men. The middle became very consumed by the battle of the story, and as more of a paranormal romance reader, I got a bit restless, but getting through that, this is a great story. I am glad I discovered it and am excited to go back and read the series’ first two books.

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome to Knollville Book 1) by C.A. King – Review by Valerie Anderson

Truly Unfortunate (Welcome To Knollville #1)Truly Unfortunate by C.A. King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A young girl with a troubled past she can’t remember. Truly is working three jobs to pay rent to a sleazy slum lord and pay for a doctor who is trying to help her remember what trauma she faced in her past so she can stop having nightmares and move on with her life. As her doctor attempts to transition her meds, memories start to slowly come back, as do strange events occurring around her.

Nothing is as it seems, and every time you think you have it figured out, another twist is thrown at you from beginning to end. King includes great foreshadowing hinting at what is to come, but nothing is quite how you expected it.

Some psychological twists you see coming and a surprise ending that plays out in a way you don’t quite expect. My emotions were up and down with this roller coaster of a thriller. The ending leaves you with just as many questions as it does answers, wondering who really are the good and bad guys and how you really define good or bad.
