Review 4 STARS!!! A Time to Learn by Karen Ferry



4 STARS!!!

Who says broken hearts don’t deserve new beginnings or second chances? In a Time to Learn Laura returns to her Scotland home to heal, to trust herself, and to protect her daughter from the evils of the world. Laura knows evil first hand and has the visible and invisible scars to show for it. As she settles into her simple life of working with the horses that are cast away she wonders if she will ever be worthy of someone’s love again.

Would anyone want her scars and all?

Then Laura meets Kristian, a sexy, tattoo artist with striking eyes, soft lips, and a gentle nature, she cannot deny her aching heart any longer.  She is drawn to him. Kristian cannot stop thinking about her. Kristian knows Laura is guarded, and wants to give her time to trust again. He admires her strength, her devotion to her daughter, and sees her beauty beyond her scars.

Their love affair will shake your emotions and make you think about what’s important in life. I loved the way Kristian caressed Laura with his words, his eyes, his hands, and his very soul. Laura’s resistance is strong-willed, stubborn, and full of spite. The banter between Laura and Kristian is equally steamy with hot, physical chemistry that will make your palms sweat.  It is a story of hope, healing, and hot passion.

SYNOPSIS 


Love is blind.
Love is false.
Love is deceitful.
Until him.

My fairytale ending turned into a nightmare soon after I gave the man I thought was perfect my vows. Like the coward I was, I remained in my prison for too long. But there was one light amidst all the darkness – my daughter, Ailith.

Now, I’m a 33-year-old woman, living with her mother in a little town in Scotland that’s quiet but safe, trying to keep the family business afloat.

When will I find the courage to live again?

One day, a glance from a stranger brings me a sliver of hope that I haven't believed in since I was young.

Will it be enough?

Love is a lie.
Love is an illusion.
Love is painful.
Until her.

She made me trip over my own two feet – made me yearn for the very thing I've avoided all my life: love. But she didn't love me back. I had to escape my memories somehow, and I fled to Scotland.

Now, I’m more lost than I've ever been, trying to forget the woman who managed to soften my cynical heart.

Will the hole in my chest ever heal?

One day, the sorrow in a woman's eyes causes me to trip again. My heart beats anew, and when she finally allows me to see her, I’m filled with hope.

Will she give in to me?

For Laura and Kristian, everything changes with just one glance. But can two people who have been burned in the past open their hearts and learn to love again?

Author's Note: While this is book #3 in The Believe Series, it can be read as a standalone novel. Includes a hot-as-sin tattoo artist, a stubborn Scottish woman, horses, and lots of swoon-worthy moments. You have been warned.

Review 3.5 STARS: Orphaned by Lyz Kelley






3.5 Stars

Jenna and Grant come from completely different backgrounds and yet they have this amazing attraction towards one another that is undeniable. Jenna owns a bakery and Grant is wealthy lawyer. They have secrets in their pasts that connect them to one another that are soon to be revealed.  Will the lies destroy their friendship? Who can Jenna trust? Will Grant be able to protect what’s his or will he lose everything?

I truly enjoyed the elements of surprise in this book and Lyz Kelley does an outstanding job of developing characters with real life threads. The story weaves in and out with elements of love, family, vengeance, friendship, and healing. I am anxious to read more in this series as I enjoyed the characters so much.

Why would I want to read the Elkridge Series?  Each book in the Elkridge series is a piece to a puzzle—a suspenseful mystery involving the murder of a small-town sheriff. You get six contemporary romance books to figure out the mystery and a bunch of happy ever after (HEA) endings. Two novels in this fiction series—Blinded and Orphaned—are award-winning romance books.

Where is Elkridge, Colorado?  Elkridge exists only in my mind. On any given day, I can stop at River Creek Café for Jenna's fresh baked cinnamon rolls, or shop for a birthday present at Mara's Blooms, or get my nails done at Kym’s nail salon. Sitting in the park eating lunch, I can watch the kids play and hear the latest gossip from neighbors. Later, if I want, I can stop at Mad Jack’s to hear a local band play and get some dinner. Elkridge is a great small town where the sun shines 360 days a year and people do their best to make ends meet.

Would you tell us about your writing process?  It takes me awhile to write each stand-alone story because I am passionate about creating the very best stories for my readers. These contemporary romance books have complex plots and sub-plots and include suspense romance threads, with deep emotional women’s fiction elements, humor and even a bit of quirkiness. I’m so excited to see the 5-star ratings because it means I’ve created the ideal mix to provide readers with a few hours of enjoyment
