Book Review: Time’s Echo (The Chronos Files) by Rysa Walker

Omg! I love Time’s Echo. It’s a novella based off of Rysa Walker’s novel Time’s Twisted Arrow now called, Timebound. Here’s the review I did on her first book. You should check it out: https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8121777278506489563#editor/target=post;postID=609574018300170779;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=182;src=postname

You need to read the first book before you read Time’s Echo. And yes, they’re time traveling novels and one of the best out there.

Time’s Echo is in Kiernan’s POV, instead of Kate’s (the first book is in her POV). He’s a great character who was born in the 1800s. Kate met him when she traveled to his time, back when he was a boy, and she gave him a CHRONOS  (Chrono-Historical Research Organization and Natural Observation Society) key before she blinked out of that century. It’s a round medallion that gives people who have the designer DNA, the ability to activate this nifty device and travel through time. Kiernan still has the key, and as an adult, he hooks-up with Kate in other times. He's in love with her and secretly joins her crusade to thwart Saul's wacky, religious plan to basically rule the world as a wealthy Messiah.

In Time's Echo, someone fools with the timeline, and Kate disappears. Kiernan is desperate to find her and will go to great lengths to do so. There's also a mystery he's anxious to solve regarding the first time he meets Kate.

This novella is written in such a clever way that it ties in with the first book. I think Time's Echo is a treat for fans of The CHRONOS Files, and I'm so glad Rysa wrote this. The reason why I say that is because you get to see what Kiernan is doing in the first book, while Kate's eccentric grandmother tells Kate, she inherited designer DNA from the time traveling historians of CHRONOS.


This book is full of awesome sauce, and I can't wait to read the next installment in this inventive tale.

Book Review On Daring Dane By Felicia Tatum

Daring Dane is part of the Intoxicating Passion novella series. It’s the third book and an enjoyable read.


Dane is a hot frat playboy who has issues with women. Period. He’s a male whore. End of story. However, Korah who is in one of his classes, rocks his world. She’s not like all the other panty dropping girls he’s accustomed to. She’s different. When he finally gains her trust, he does the ultimate ass monkey mistake. After they have sex, he sneaks out of Korah’s house when she’s asleep and totally bails on her.

I wanted to slap him for crushing Korah’s heart like that.

Dumbass.

In the third installment to this novella series, Korah feels like an idiot for falling for Dane’s charms. But when her past rolls into her life, blindsiding her, she has no choice but to call Dane for help. He comes to her aid without question. Korah is ashamed and embarrassed to involve Dane into her unfortunate circumstances, but she has no choice. Dane wants a second chance with her, but he lost her trust and now has to suffer the consequences.

Dane is a total wreck without Korah. He begins to do some self-evaluation on why he behaves the way he does towards women. His behavior stems from his childhood. He acknowledges it and realizes his feelings for Korah are genuine. 

He loves her.

Korah has feelings for Dane; however, he blew his chances the night he walked out on her. Now he has to prove himself to her in order to gain her trust back.

Will Dane be able to win Korah’s heart?


I think he will, but I won't know until the next book in this novella series comes out, which I’m looking forward to reading.  

Book Review On Entangled Souls By Felicia Tatum


Entangled Souls book #1.5 is a novella that’s part of the Scarred Hearts Series. It picks up to where the last one (Mangled Hearts) left off. 

Cade is a recovering alcoholic and is now doing out patient rehab. With the help of his sponsor and his fiancée Francesca, he’s dealing with the drastic changes in his life and fighting the urge not to drink. He’s also forced to work on repairing his broken relationship with his dad, whom he calls Pops.

The struggle Cade is going through with his father and his drinking problem is realistic. Felicia did a wonderful job with portraying these two situations. I found myself getting choked up towards the end with a scene concerning Cade and Pops.

Francesca has her own troubles to face and overcome. She refuses to burden Cade with them and is always there to help him through his difficult moments. She’s a strong person, though she doesn’t realize it. Not only is she a young lawyer who just opened up her own law firm, and the anniversary of her sister’s death is looming over her head, her relationship with her best friend suddenly gets fractured, devastating her.

Both Cade and Francesca’s hardships forces them to grow and overcome the obstacles that are thrown in their paths. Their love for one another continues to grow through it all. I’m looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.

Book Feature! Entangled Souls by Felicia Tatum

Mangled Hearts become Entangled Souls


Cade is on the road to recovery with Francesca’s love and support guiding him. His life is changing drastically, from attempting to mend the rift between he and his father, to trying to have a normal relationship with his now fiancé. Most of all, Cade must find a way to control his urges so he can be completely released from rehabilitation.


Francesca is building her law firm with the help of those she loves most, but when a close friend reveals her true feelings about Francesca's engagement, it sends her emotions into a tailspin.  Through all of this, she is forced to put her feelings on the back burner for everyone else, until the anniversary of Josie’s accident rolls around. Francesca must learn to put herself first before she falls apart.


In this novella, join Cade and Francesca as they explore their relationship and begin their lives together.

THEIR SOULS, REAWAKENED.
 
When 13-year-old Lilix Morgan is found alive and floating on a bed of ice at sea, everyone counts it a miracle. Kidnapped nearly four weeks earlier, she remembers nothing of her mysterious abduction. When she tries to remember what happened, she hears only a melody – a faint and delicate set of notes, strung together in a tune she doesn’t understand.

THEIR POWER, UNMATCHED.

A year later and desperate to put the lingering nightmares of her past behind her, Lilix crosses the country to enroll at Baelmorte Academy, aiming to become the violinist she once dreamt of. Things seem to be finally going well, and Lilix settles into a routine of sheet music and inspiration among new friends.

Then the dreams start.

The melody and night terrors she thought she’d left behind return with a vengeance, threatening to ruin her fragile version of normalcy. Then an unlikely ally tells her that she isn’t alone. That there are others just like her, fighting to hide their own shocking truths from coming to light. That they know who she is, and what she’s been through. Now, accompanied by four other girls, Lilix discovers her nightmares are larger than a single trauma; they’re a window to a hidden part of her soul, a place of immense power with a destiny that cannot be ignored.

THEIR BATTLE, IS ONLY BEGINNING.

With this knowledge comes a new and frightening reality. For Lilix has been reawakened to stop an age-old enemy, one thought to have been destroyed centuries ago. Trapped by her destiny, Lilix is torn between what feels right and what she remembers. Her memories tell her of a star-crossed love waiting to be reunited, of friendships and trust broken in the past. But can she save that love when reality brings her an enemy, and an evil that will be the undoing of them all if they don’t destroy it?

Book Review On Masked Encounters By Felicia Tatum


Masked Encounters is part one of the Intoxicating Passion novella series by Felicia Tatum. I was fortunate enough to read the ARC  before it gets published on October 25th 2013.


I do have a problem reading books on a screen, and I *gasp* don’t even own a Kindle. However, since this is a novelette, I was able to read it on my computer, and I’m glad I did.

When I first started reading Mask Encounters, I was delighted on how it began.

I loved it!

Felicia cracks me up.

It begins with the main character nineteen-year-old Korah. She's on a blind date her roommate sets her up on. I’ve never been on one before, but I imagine a few of you female readers have been in a similar situation as Korah where the dude is not only a loser but creepy and drones on and on about himself. Of course, afterwards his beady snake eyes roams your cleavage and he says a cheesy line that makes your skin crawl.

Have you ever been in that situation before?

Well, Felicia nailed the scene perfectly.

Anyway, Korah built a wall around her heart because her last boyfriend Christopher had hurt her. I don’t know what happened between them, but it was bad enough to cause Korah to crawl in a hole inside herself. I’m guessing the next installment in this series we’ll discover more about it.

Leela is Korah’s roommate and best friend. She talks Korah into going to a Halloween costume party the frat house on their college campus is having. Korah makes it clear to Leela that she’s not to be set up on a date, and she’s not going to hook up with anybody. Leela promises Korah they’re only going to have fun and that’s it, but little does Korah know what's in store for her when she meets Dane.

Dane is a classic playboy. I have to say . . . I loved how his point of view began.

Loved it!

Felicia did an excellent job with this character.

Hell, she did a fabulous job with the whole chapter.

The reader is totally inside this ladies’ man’s head.

It’s great.

Dane is a gorgeous panty dropping type of guy, who seeks one thing from women . . . pleasure. He doesn’t care about them, and like the Grinch, his heart is the size of a pea. Then he sees Korah in a costume shop, and he can’t keep his eyes off her. She glances his way with disinterest. He’s shocked by her lack of attention towards him, and he can’t stop thinking about the stunning brunette.

The Halloween ball is in full swing when Korah and Leela arrive. Korah then comes face to face with a dark-haired stranger hiding behind a Zorro mask. When he speaks, his voice sends tingles up her spine, then the fun begins.

Ooooh, yeah.

What happens next might curl your toes boys and girls.

I recommend this book, and I’m looking forward to the next one.
