Dark Night of the Moon by Keta Diablo

Look what we found! A Kindle Romance Novel for under $4!



Dark Night of the Moon, a paranormal wolf shifter, is the sequel to Holding on to Heaven.

Creed Gatlin flees to Arizona intent on eradicating the haunting memories of his brother’s wife. Brand Gatlin, presumed dead, resurfaces after a long absence and with his re-emergence, the destinies of those he loves is altered forever
In a land rife with war and danger, Sage must travel to the village of her husband’s People. There, she is reunited with Crooked Back, the ancient healer. On the long trek back to Full Circle, devious plots are underfoot and peril lurks around every corner for Sage, Lauren and Peter Pa.

Dark Night of the Moon will take you on an unforgettable journey of war, violence, overwhelming grief, and finally, love. 

Review:

Keta Diablo has managed to wow me again with Dark Night of the Moon and the continued journey and struggle her characters Lauren, Creed, and Sage face with their strength and love. I couldn't put the book down because of my eagerness's to learn what happened to Brand and whether he would make his way back to Lauren. Deep inside, I hoped he would not find his way back to her so that Creed and Lauren could burst beyond their walls of stubbornness and succumb to their strong love and desire. Yet, I found myself brushing away tears as I experienced the sadness they felt when tragedy returned to dance upon their
lives, creating even more sorrow and sadness. This was an on-the-edge-of-your-seat-bite-your-nails story. The only disappointment I have in this one of Keta Diablo's sequels is that the ending for Sage and her deceased husband didn't follow the path I had eagerly anticipated.'

I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in history, romance, and an open mind for Native-American mythology with a splash of paranormal.

Review:

"Barbara Silkstone has done a wonderful job getting men to tell the truth. This is a fascinating collection of diverse types of men talking about love. Ladies, if you want to know the type of man to avoid, this is a book for you. Gentlemen, do you see yourself in any of the men that were interviewed? Barbara lets the men do the talking but has also given us snippets into her own life. This is a wonderful look into the minds of men when it comes to the subject of women. I highly recommend this book."

Reviews:

"A wonderful read. Full of intrigue, humor, and whimsy! Curled up on a blistery winter day, I finished the book in one day! Taylor weaves a delightful tale that takes the reader into a world of adventure and romance designed to keep you turning (or scrolling) till the last page! I recommend this book to anyone wanting to escape the mundane with a good story that doesn't disappoint!"

"A great twist on the old Robin Hood tale. Princess Robin has great characterizations, clever banter and inventive plot lines. "Simon" is a new addition to the time-honored cast of characters, and is a wonderful foil for the spirited Princess Robin. I thoroughly enjoyed all the action, comedy and romance packed into this little gem of a book. Women of all ages will enjoy this magical "girl power" tale."

Exchange by Rachel Rossano

Look what we found! A Kindle Romance Novel for under $1!



He offers her escape, but at what cost?

Isolated on a distant planet, she is incarcerated for a crime she doesn’t recall. She has no name, no idea where she came from, or why she is injected with drugs daily to hold these vital facts from her grasp. Despite small rebellions, she wastes away, worn and losing hope of ever being whole again.

Then he arrives. Claiming to hold the answers burned daily from her brain, he offers her a way out. But at what cost?

"If you want romance with some action in a futuristic society and only have a few minutes, this is a wonderful way to fill it. As always, I love Rachel's writing. Well done!"

"This engaging short story left me fascinated and wanting more! The author had a very appropriate voice for this genre--not at all cheesy and cliche like some futuristic sci-fi stories can be. The main characters were intriguing; I felt the connection between the two almost immediately. I hope a sequel is in the works because I am definitely a fan! Great job!"

Splintered Energy by Arlene Webb

Look what we found! A Kindle Science Fiction Romance Novel for under $4!



aves of pure energy are quite happy hanging in the cosmos, traveling at the speed of light to brighten up the sky--until dawn breaks. Literally.

When sentient light fractures, it zaps into human bodies and becomes trapped. Without any memories to guide them, a handful of confused beings whose skin tones are now specific colors, struggle to understand humanity while it's quite clear they shouldn't be in this world. The few humans clued in to Earth's invasion don't flutter, but are drawn to their fiery fate with hearts wide open as they fight to survive.

California. A widower's twelve-year-old son is rather young to bring home a woman, especially a collapsed green beauty too frightened to open her eyes.
Arizona. A divorcee blinks hard, but the gorgeous red guy stepping in front of her car is still red. She swerves to avoid hitting him and ends up in the ditch. When she comes around, she wonders which layer of hell she's fallen into.
Ohio. A teen also fears he's dealing with the demonic, but no matter how dangerous things become, he's determined to stand by a man with inhumanly blue eyes.

Splintered Energy is an Earth based sci-fi/suspense/romance novel and the first in a four book series. Book 2, The R Word, and book 3, House of Seven, are available. The final is scheduled for March/April 2012.

Reviews: 

"Splintered Energy truly is a quite unique and fun story. Sentient light splintered and trapped in human bodies with all the turmoil of emotions makes for sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-wrenching encounters and situations. Filled with fascinating characters, real humans and colorful rays of light, Splintered Energy is a beautifully written, fun read about human nature."

"Imagine a book where the main characters all die before the first page. Yes, it's all that innovative. The innocent aliens who get trapped in the 'dead' bodies struggle against their own natures as well as human civilisation while they fight find ways to save themselves. A great read."
