READ AND REVIEW
ROUGH TERRAIN (VISTA FALLS) BY CHERYL DOUGLAS
Release Date: May 25, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Wes Davis left Vista Falls when the girl he loved got pregnant and decided they were too young and irresponsible to be parents. He signed the adoption papers, but he never stopped loving the baby he’d never met. Years passed, success found him, but there was a hole in his heart and life that he knew only one thing could fill. His son.
Sage Breville was stunned to learn her ex-boyfriend was back in town. With him came a rush of memories and questions about the kind of life they could have had if she’d been brave enough to stand up to her parents years ago and raise the child she’d so desperately wanted with the man she loved.
There were some wounds time couldn’t heal, and Sage was convinced there was no way back for them. But did Wes see it her way or was he ready to forgive… and move on?

REVIEW: ROUGH TERRAIN (VISTA FALLS) BY CHERYL DOUGLAS
Rough Terrain by Cheryl DouglasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sage and Wes were in love. Too young to fully understand that heartbreak was not too far ahead of them. Rough Terrain is a what if story. Faced with a tough choice, Sage makes a decision that she has spent years regretting. She lost Wes, her one true love, and with him went her chance at happiness. I received an ARC of Rough Terrain in exchange for an honest review. Cheryl Douglas is an author that I have become an avid fan of. Her stories are a gritty look into the human soul. Not always pretty but full of sage wisdom and poignant storytelling. With Rough Terrain, she created an atmosphere where the reader was able to glimpse the ramifications youth played in the self-destruction of a love affair that trickled into this couple's adult lives. At the heart of this story is a second chance to mend a broken heart and unite a fractured family.

REVIEW: SHANAHAN'S REVENGE BY JULIE MAC
Shanahan's Revenge by Julie MacMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Is righting a wrong worth hurting innocent people? That question is at the center of Shanahan's Revenge. From corporate rivalries, to hidden agendas and past indiscretion. Ms. Mac thrives on grabbing the readers attention. There is nothing wrong with wanting a fair share, the problem is the things done in order to succeed at getting it. I understand the reasoning behind Sam's anger but did not condone some of his actions. Having received Shanahan's Revenge in exchange for an honest review, I found it to be fueled by secrets but lacking in cohesiveness.

REVIEW: DEFIANT BY KRIS KENNEDY
Defiant by Kris KennedyMy rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Kris Kennedy is very good at writing complicated characters. Her stories are like stepping through a field of land mines and red herrings. Hidden in plain sight are the clues to unlocking the mystery, you just have to figure out where to look. The thrill of solving the puzzle is the attraction of her brand of storytelling. As I get better acquainted with this author I find there is no way of knowing where she will lead you on the quest for the truth and I have always been a sucker for puzzles that are hard to figure out. I received an ARC of Defiant in exchange for an honest review. On the surface there are set sides, the good and the bad but as you delve deeper there proves to be hidden agendas on both sides. Things are not as they seem. At the forefront are characters that are hard to read and a romance that seems out of place, yet I could not fault anything about this story except it ended too soon. 3.5 stars
