Torn Together by Emlyn Chand @emlynchand

Torn Together

Why does growing up have to be so difficult?

I honestly cant say enough good things about this book. I was so very lucky to meet the author and when I read the book I was fell in love. Mostly with the characters and the way they were written. It is a very emotional book and the main topic is recovery from loss. Whether you have gone through a loss such as the passing of a parent or a relative, you will be inspired by Daly English. Her explanation of her name is given and it is her Mother maiden name. A lot of people ask and she tells them it rhymes with tally. I had to add that I thought it was cute. We meet Daly at a crossroads. she lost her Dad almost ten years ago and she is trying to decide what she does after her Associate’s Degree is finished.

Take the journey with Daly as she bounces back from a breakup, tries to understand Laine (her Mother who she calls Laine) and lets love find her.

Sometimes in life there are ups and downs and what Daly goes through is pretty tough for such a young girl. When she meets Kashi, she is sort of intrigued and then he re-appears. He is so special you will love him, his sayings and wisdom. His family in India is just so entertaining, as was Daly and her approach to his background, lifestyle and family customs.

I think this is a MUST read!. I felt like I knew all of the characters and it honestly touched me. The bonus is they will stay with you for a while I am sure. At the beginning of each chapter there is a drawing by Daly and a great quote. I loved them and made so many Kindle Hi-lights. I will post more in the next couple of days. get ready for me to shout from the highest about how good this was.

Totally recommend it and give it a very inspiring 5*

I am gifting 2 Copies

My Review:
Tracee Ford is so hitting a part of paranormal that I LOVE! I am the biggest scaredy cat and would never read a vampire or werewolf book. I loved this book because it was the exact amount of fright for me. It made me think and be filled with angst, all without making me sleep with a night-light! This type of book I could devour everyday. The storyline and characters were excellent! The buildup with Robin Hillard, our main character, and Dr. Matthew Gregory was again perfect. They were very similar in many ways, but Robin believed in spiritual things, her “Creator” and Matthew didn’t.

Robin is a child welfare investigator who is level-headed, smart, educated, loving and also believes in what is “beyond tangible” She has feelings and beliefs. She came through a very frightening ordeal and I won’t give any of it away, but that is why I just adored her. Her faith is tested when her and Matt move into Pikeview Manor, a very old and grand house. The house has major history and aside from knowing it was built in the 1800′s Robin didn’t research it. A few times she was told to research it and when things get really serious for her and Matt, she does. The entire restoration was dragging them down.

NOT going to say anything else except READ it NOW!! I can’t wait to read Undone which will be out soon!

Reality TV Trilogy by Heather Thurmeier @hthuremier

Posted in Book Titles by ReadingRenee

Reality TV Trilogy

Thanks to my new publisher — Crimson Romance — I’m finally able to bring you a new series! Each book is a love story that happens during filming of a different reality TV show! If you love romance, reality TV, a bit of steaminess then you’ll loves this new series!

Falling for You — Available now in digital and paperback!! AMAZON NOOK iTUNES

Waves of Fiction says: ”Falling for You was such a fun book. It captured my attention from the first page and I was on the edge of my seat gripped with panic that everything I hoped for would come crumbling down for one my favorite characters! Thrown in with my panic were laugh out loud moments and some very yummy eyebrow raises that I wish were coming my way.” http://ow.ly/hijiq

5 STARS! “Heather Thurmeier’s voice is distinctively witty, lough-out-loud funny, and sexy. Falling for You is the perfect romance novel for anyone who’s ever found herself addicted to reality TV shows like The Bachelor… 5 stars and highly recommended — Heather Thurmeier’s contemporary romances are an auto-buy for me.”

4 STARS! “Two words describe Heather Thurmeier’s latest book: Fun and Sexy. Cute, fallible and totally relatable, I want to invite Cassidy over for drinks at my house. She is thoroughly entertaining. This book is a quick read and I can’t wait for the remaining books in Heather’s trilogy – she will make a Chick Lit reader out of me yet!”

5 STARS! “Our book club selected this book to read together and I could not put the book down the moment I started reading it. This was a very quick read and you won’t put it down until the end to find out what happens to these characters. Such a great book, I quickly bought and read Love On Landing, and Love And Lattes by the same author. They were all great. Looking forward to her new book release in February!”

Newly single Cassidy Quinn is thrilled to be a contestant on the new reality dating show The One. But her excitement turns to horror when the gorgeous bachelor turns out to be her ex-boyfriend. Seeing Brad again makes Cassidy realize she might not be as “over him” as she thought—and then she meets hunky cameraman Evan Burke.

After watching his brother lose his wife in a tragic accident, Evan vows never to fall in love. But following Cassidy around as her personal cameraman makes him question his decision, and resisting her gets harder with every sunbathing, bikini-wearing day.

Cassidy and Evan begin a forbidden affair while her ex-boyfriend tries to win her heart back one groping, awkward moment at a time. If Cassidy can manage to stop falling off horses (literally), stop falling onto her ex-boyfriend, the bachelor (yes, literally), and stop falling in love with backstage playboy Evan, she might still make it through the show without becoming a tabloid sensation.

But soon Cassidy must choose between the ex who broke her heart and the cameraman who might never love her back. For Cassidy, this reality show just got real.

Stuck on You — Coming February 11, 2013!

Waves of Fiction says: ”Heather Thurmier definitely knows how to write amazing characters. Stuck on You is another hit in my opinion and it is one of the funniest books I have ever read… Filled with awesome humor, sizzling romance, and lots of adventure Stuck on You delivers a fun story. I am quickly becoming addicted to these stories. I have to admit that I do watch a little bit of reality TV and reading about them is even more fun.” http://ow.ly/hiiC0

“If you like reality TV and funny romances, then you will *love* STUCK ON YOU!” – Shoshanna Evers, author of The Enslaved Trilogy, Pocket Books

Paige Anderson agrees to be on a new reality show called Treasure Trekkers,a show where contestants use handheld GPS units to find hidden caches filled with prizes, with her good friend Cassidy. But when Cassidy is unable to compete, Chip Cormack, the show’s producer, steps in with a last-minute replacement to be Paige’s partner—Zoe Oliver, reality TV’s favorite bad girl.

Jack Miles (aka Miles) is a mountain climber with the body to prove it. Miles convinced his climbing partner Ben to come on the show with him for one reason—to prove to Ben that they can still hike together, regardless of the fact that Ben lost his foot in a tragic accident. Miles isn’t about to let anything get in his way of winning—not even beautiful Paige.

But when Miles and Paige are thrown into an alliance with their teammates, working closely together leads to more than just good strategy. Can Paige steal Miles’ heart while surviving Zoe long enough to win the game?

Lost without You — Coming July 1, 2013!

Zoe Oliver never wanted to be on another reality TV show… until Chip Cormack made an offer too good to refuse. He’s guaranteed her a payday this time and a chance to redeem herself in America’s eyes. Zoe worries she won’t be able to focus as her desire for Chip grows and her strength to resist him weakens. When she learns she’ll be roughing it in the woods with Chip and without luxuries like indoor plumbing and electricity, she’s instantly on edge, feeling naked and terrified that her scars will be exposed and her secrets revealed. When Zoe’s past turns up on the show, she fears she’ll lose not only the life she’s sacrificed everything else to have, but also the affections of the only man she’s ever trusted with her heart.
