A Garland at Bitterbark Creek by Tammy Mannersly

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

He’s found a new home with her family while his own holds secrets to her past… This heart-wrenching 300+ page rural romance novel will have you gasping and keep you guessing as mysteries unravel, and as Jack and Sophie discover whether their love for one another can survive the deepest of wounds and darkest of betrayals.
Had it not been for her cousin’s wedding, Sophie Wendall would never have returned to Bitterbark Creek – her aunt and uncle’s idyllic farm-stay on the outskirts of town. Twenty years ago, tragedy stole everything from her including her memory, leaving only secrets and lies. Now that she’s back, there are just two things on her mind: to find out the truth of what really happened to her that day at the dam and to steer clear of the wicked Garland family and their charismatic son – the boy who broke her heart.
Jackson Garland is one of the few people who know what really happened to Sophie all those years ago, but he’s terrified of sharing the truth. To do so would jeopardize his happy sanctuary and newfound home at Bitterbark Creek. Upon reconnecting with Sophie, he realizes that while her extended family may have accepted him as one of their own, she’s going to take a little more convincing. Although he tries to charm and distract her to keep his secrets safe, it isn’t long before he’s at risk of falling under her own tantalizing spell.
As children, their love for one another kept them close until a car accident took one life and hatred tried to steal another. But dark truths can’t be hidden forever when ghosts from the past step into the light. Might the revelations be too daunting for them to handle? Or will Jack and Sophie finally put aside their family history and let love guide them into a future together?
A GARLAND AT BITTERBARK CREEK is about heartbreaking loss, rediscovering love and the healing ability of forgiveness and acceptance. If you love reading the novels of Mandy Magro, Alissa Callen, and Rachael Johns, then you will adore this heartfelt, second chance love story by award-winning author, Tammy Mannersly.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Man Who Dealt in Death (The Colton Fen Series) by Marlena Frank. This is the first book I believe I’ve read by this author but will not be my last. I really enjoyed it. It’s the story of Colten who is a werewolf shifter dressed like a cowboy and he’s been hired by the Agency of Betterment of Supernatural Creatures. He’s ready to start to work but they insist he has a partner and he is totally against that. Rennick is half human, half vampire and after a rough start they begin to work together. They are sent out to investigate a missing persons and along the way they meet Mary. Mary is a very independent lady who decides to join in on the investigation. This book sucked me in and I totally lost track of time while reading. I can’t wait for the next book to read more about these incredible characters!

This was my second encounter this author, and I was pleasantly surprised by their venture into a slightly different genre. The shift was absolutely refreshing and I found myself more engaged than ever. One of the standout features of the book is its pacing. The shorter chapters create a rhythmic flow that makes it easy to get lost in the story. I found myself eagerly turning the pages, eager to see what Buck, our main character, would encounter next. Buck’s journey is captivating as he stumbles upon a series of intriguing mysteries that unfold with just the right amount of suspense and intrigue.

The author’s writing style elevates the reading experience. It feels more immersive rather than just a leisurely pastime. I was drawn into the world they’ve crafted almost as if I was living the adventure alongside Buck. If you’re a fan of Westerns infused with mystery and adventure, you’ll certainly enjoy this book. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to dive into a thrilling read!

This is normally not my genre but the synopsis looked interesting. By the end of Chapter 1, I was intrigued and hooked. I found the writing easy to understand. It had a fairly smooth flow with a couple minor glitches. The characters had personalities that were quite relatable. They felt like they could be people you know. You had from cranky to helpful. There was even a twist or two. It was a really good read that I enjoyed while trying to solve the mystery of who was taking out the railway workers

The beginning of the story brings the reader into what Buck Greene was dealing with prior to him moving onto a new life. The war does explain a lot of what the other characters that were in the war went through also. The author does a great job in describing how things were in that era, i.e., traveling on horseback, the building of the railroad track, and even how far Greene and his partner, Edward, had to travel just to question the men about the murder case. Overall, the story is very well done.

Westerns are not usually my go to type book and I honestly can’t recall the last one that I read. However, I am so pleased that I gave this book a chance as it was such an interesting story. It was an exciting read from start to finish and I really found myself caught up in what was going on.
I enjoyed the way the whole book unfolded. I wanted to know the truth behind the murders and wanted to see if our MC would figure it all out. The story felt like it was in keeping with the time, realistic to the era it was set in. This is still one of the first few books that I have read from this author but it has definitely reinforced the view that I will be reading more.

This is the first book in the Buck Greene, Railroad Special Agent, Mysteries series. I really enjoyed this murder mystery story and I can’t wait to read more from this series. The author does an amazing job of transporting the reader back in time and fully immersing the reader in the way of life back then. The story is so well woven that I couldn’t guess which turn would be next. It kept me guessing which is what I love.
The chapters are short which for me means I read them quickly. I had a constant feeling of reading just one more chapter and then realising I had read 3. The story is so immersive that I couldn’t stop reading once I started.

Buck Greene has just got back from fighting in the Civil war. After fighting for a better life he finds himself returning home to nothing as his parents have been killed during the war. Now he knows he needs a new start so he sets off to find his fortune along the railroads.
When he discovers the body of a railroad worker he places himself into the investigation in the hopes of getting a job as a railroad agent. However what he soon realises is that this is not the first murder and it is now a race against time to capture the murderer before they strike again and claim another life.

Will he solve the case before another life is lost? If he does solve the case will this give him the break he needs to become a proper agent?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Man who dealt in death by Marlena Frank. This is the first book in the Colten Fen series. This book is a roller coaster and that’s an under statement. There are two very prominent main characters Colton and Rennick. We are introduced to the duo when Colton and Rennick are out on an assignment together. The pair are sent out to investigate a disappearance. This story is action packed and has a lot of amazing detailed fight scenes. We are also introduced to Mary who is a strong willed, independent woman, who can very much hold her own. Mary begins in on the investigation as well and is a great addition to the story. I would absolutely recommend this book again and again. Beautiful details and cohesive ideas.

This was my first venture into this author’s work, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The cover looked intriguing, so I took a shot and picked it up. It was absolutely marvelous! It is the first book in the Colten Fen series, and it really started off incredibly strong. I enjoy everything paranormal which made this werewolf detective story perfect for me! It felt like the author kept closer to the werewolf lore as well which gained quite the brownie points. The story flows flawlessly as the characters develop at a very natural pace. The setting is richly crafted as the author skillfully merges the eerie allure of the supernatural with the rugged reality of 1893. The descriptions are vivid, pulling readers into the strange world where the mundane collides with the magical in unsettling ways. The trio consist of Mary, Colten, and Rennick who complement each other well with their witty bantering and entertaining bickering. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a world that is both familiar and astonishingly new. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To my current recollection, this is the first book I’ve read by this author, so I went in with no expectations. Let me just tell you, I was sucked in from the beginning.

I loved that the werewolves in the story are closer to the actual werewolf lore, not just shifters. It’s rare to come across a book that follows more traditional lore with all the shifter/fated mates type stories that are out there. (Don’t get me wrong, I love a good shifter story, too).

In contrast to the more traditional werewolf, the vampire in the story had different vibes than you would expect. It took me a minute to adjust to the character. But all the characters were so well-written that you can’t help but appreciate them.

There’s a splash of romance that I hope develops a specific way as the series continues because the set up at the end of this book is perfect for it to go that direction. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Great story – suspense, action, danger, drama… it’s got everything to keep you turning the pages.

Marlena Frank is such an amazing author; she brings this book to life with her dynamic characters. I loved following along with the unlikely pairing of Colton and Rennick along with the fieriness of Mary. This book does a great job of bringing out a fantastic world full of fantasy and western gunslinging fun. Who would have thought that a loner werewolf, Colton, pair well with a bloodsucking card shark like Rennick, yet it takes the partners to need one another to survive the evil happenings in Peridot. This book will have you on the edge of your seat at the action-packed, thrill ride this book takes you on. I am so excited to continue the Colton Fen series and to see what new adventures await our werewolf detective, as well as what kind of trouble awaits around the corner.

The author of this book is new to me. From the beginning, the story captured my interest. Trinity Redhawk always wanted to be a rodeo queen. But as a teen she had to give up many friendships and potential boyfriends. As she finds herself in her last year of being the rodeo queen, she’s looking forward to being a strong woman and finding a more normal life.
The story is easy to read and follow. The author did a great job of world building and I could imagine the rodeo arena, the rodeo royalty, and spectators. I didn’t realize the book was part of a series. I had no problem following the story even if I didn’t know the names of all the characters.

The Man Who Dealt in Death is the first book in the Colton Fen series by Marlena Frank. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Frank, so I really didn’t know what I should expect from one of her stories, but to be honest I was hooked the moment I read ‘werewolf detective’. I couldn’t one-click the book quick enough, diving in the moment it landed on my Kindle.
This proved to be a cleverly woven paranormal mystery which is set in the ‘wild west’- melding several genres, flawlessly, into a captivating read. With supernatural elements, danger, dramatic developments, tension, intrigue, suspense, cowboys, gunslingers, vampires, werewolves, demons, action, adventure, investigation, politics, agendas, and more- made this a fantastic introduction to Ms. Frank’s work.
Colton Fen is a werewolf detective who is assigned a complex case to unravel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of numerous humans in the small, western town of Peridot. He is used to working alone, but his new boss deems it necessary to assign him a partner, who turns out to be a vampire. Um, yeah- vampires and werewolves are natural enemies…. so you guessed it, things get off to a bit of an awkward start, and it’s not long before danger comes calling, as something evil has its own agenda.
Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Marlena Frank!

I recently heard a lot of good things about this author and decided to see for myself. I’m glad I did, because she is a great storyteller. “The Man Who Dealt in Death” is the first book in the paranormal series “The Colton Fen series.” It’s set in 1893 in the wild west town of Peridot, which is hiding a dangerous secret. The book is a unique blend of genres, and Marlena has done a fantastic job weaving them all together. The world she has created is fascinating. I enjoyed the three main characters and their adventures as they come together to stop the creature beneath the town. If you’re a fan of paranormal stories with werewolves, demons, cowboys, sharp-shooting actresses, and a touch of horror, danger, adventure, and suspense, then this book is for you. If her other books are as good as this one, then count me in!

She's My Rhinestone Cowgirl (My Cowboy #7)She’s My Rhinestone Cowgirl by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brooke May has become an author that I automatically add to my list whenever she comes out with a new book! I absolutely loves She’s My Rhinestone Cowgirl! Trinity and Shooter’s story is one for the ages! This is the seventh book in the series, but don’t worry…you can read this as a standalone (I did) but trust me…you will be going back to pick up the rest of the series and binging them as well. Trinity and Shooter dated early on in high school, but Trinity broke Shooter’s heart to chase her dreams. Now, Trinity has fulfilled her dream of being a rodeo queen and is almost done with that life. Shooter hasn’t quite met his life goals and is now back in his hometown as the newest deputy sheriff. Can they reconnect or is the heartbreak for both of them still too raw and real? This is a contemporary, second-chance romance that will have your heartstrings in a twist (and maybe your panties;)). The chemistry between Trinity and Shooter is undeniable and so steamy you can feel it coming off the pages. This is a must read for anyone who loves a good romance, but especially if you are partial to second chances and cowboys.
