Love's Suicide by Jennifer Foor ~*~*~*~ Blog Tour, Review & Early Release!













Synopsis



My heart belonged to Branch and Brooks Valentine since we were children, when we were all too naïve to know what that even meant. We didn’t understand that when we became adults, love would change us. I had to make a choice and when I did, it ripped our bond apart. Brooks left town, and he took half of my heart with him. It was difficult, but I coped and planned my future with Branch. I thought I’d made the right decision. I loved him and I always had.


Brooks showed up to be our best man the night before our nuptials. After drinks and too much reminiscing, I ended up in bed with the wrong brother. To avoid the humiliation and the fact that I’d ruined all of our lives, I left Branch and the only family I’d ever known.

That’s where my story should have ended. 

Two years, one beautiful little girl and an abusive marriage later, I was standing there staring at the man that would always hold my heart. 

The only question was…

Would I give it to him

I’m Katy Michaels and this is my story.

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW


Love's Suicide by Jennifer FoorReview by Theresa EsterlineStars: 5 

You'll fall in LOVE with the Love's Suicide cast! 

OMG! This book has SO much emotion in it. I don't think 5 stars is enough... I'm torn between wanting more and being worried of what trouble the Valentines could get into next... 

I knew when the date on the date on the prologue was September 11th, 2001 it was going to be sad. But I had no idea how sad and how fast. When you have tears running down your face and you are still in the prologue, you know the author has hit a home run! I was already so invested in the characters and it had just begun. I was so heart broken and happy and heart broken and happy for Katy (repetition intended). If you are going to read this in public be sure to have something to wipe your face and blow your nose! As the story progresses over the next 12 years there are many ups and downs, twists and turns, communication failures - as needed in any good romance ;) I have fallen so hard for Brooks. His selflessness is an attribute not seen as often as it should be these days! And now a bit about the story ...

Katy has grown up next to and with twins Branch and Brooks her whole lives. Their parents are best friends and neighbors. So who better share your first kiss with than your best friends? The next morning Katy is sure her mom knows something is up as she drives them to school. But before her mom can discuss it with her that night both her parents are at the Pentagon and are killed in the terrorist attack on 9/11/01. Katy's parents had planned for the worst and the Valentines (the twins parents) took Katy in. As they matured the first kiss feelings at 12 had grown and she found herself loving both brothers. Now comes the hard part - choosing. Follow Katy, Branch and Brooks on this loving and heartbreaking journey of love, betrayal, birth, abuse, death, and more! 

Favorite passages:
- How I'd let myself fall for two brothers was beyond me.
- Just like B learning something new, I had to learn to take baby steps. I had to be patient and kind if I wanted this to all work out.
- If you fall, I'll catch you. I always have and always will.- "Never thank me for taking care of you. I was put on this earth to do it and you know it, too."
- Look, life isn't always wonderful. There are ugly parts. You know that more than anyone. What you do with those ugly parts is what makes you the woman you are.


Until next time <3 ~Theresa

Fractured Steel by T.J. Loveless ~*~*~*~ Blog Tour and Review




Title: Fractured Steel
Author: T.J. Loveless
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
Publication Date: February 15, 2014

Karen Barnes’s life is simple, just the way she likes it, surrounded by horses and the mountains of Laramie, Wyoming. She is well aware the longing for adventure can lead to blood and death, a hard lesson taught during her one, and only, tour in Iraq almost a decade ago.

A stranger approaches Karen about boarding a famous horse foaled in her stables, making her instincts go on high alert. She knows for a fact the stallion’s owner would never sell Five Alarm, the US Reining champion worth a hefty ten million dollars. In ten minutes the stranger confirms her worst fears, launching her into weeks of torment at the hands of her kidnappers.

Armed with a spine of steel, she steals a truck and trailer, rescuing another victim, and recovering Five Alarm, but the ordeal is far from over. The kidnapping was a cover up for espionage. Trusted contacts join the fray, and in the end, pay for their loyalty by dying for her safety. Others aren’t so trustworthy, and as the truth is brought to light, she is betrayed yet again.

Safety and freedom come with their own emotional shackles. She had the courage to fight the battle, but can she live with the aftermath of the carnage, or survive the fractures to her mind?


I HEART BOOKS REVIEW

Fractured Steel by T.J. Loveless
Review by Dana Marie
Stars: 5 

This was a pull at your heart strings amazing read.

For those of your that just skim the reviews let me just start off by saying I loved this book. The author put great effort into this book and it shows with every turn of the page. I’m so glad I was given the chance to read such a great story.

With that said and out of the way for the skimmers… Holy smokes! I loved the story but didn't enjoy some of the content. That doesn't mean it wasn't a great story, because it certainly was. The pain and suffering, both physical and mental, on the people in the book as well as the horses was a little much to bear. However, it is what gets you to the meat of the story which is the strength of the characters and their amazing recovery and healing. 

The characters are awe inspiring. Whether you or a loved one has suffered or dealt with PTSD or are just finding courage to fight whatever battle you have on your plate you are completely connected throughout the book. 

This book received five stars from me and it’s not because it made me swoon, laugh out loud, or blush. It is because I felt hope and was reminded of the strength we all possess inside us to survive. You just need to learn to appreciate and move forward. When there is a will there is always a way. 

Thank you, T.J. Loveless for the amazing read. Good luck with everything past, present, and future.





Born in Anchorage, I've lived ... well ... everywhere. From the Arctic Circle to a block from the beaches in Florida. I speak fluent Arkansas Hillbilly, make a mean gumbo, can sew when necessary and am a whiz at packing.

You'll generally find a Muse snuggled to my hip, the other one laying across my shoulders and Editor Kitty staring at the screen, waiting for the red ink to make an appearance. Once it does, he lays across the keyboard purring.

The family brags about the latest compromising position I've been found in, trying to figure out how to truly describe "legs all akimbo" or if falling on the couch could truly land a body in a certain position. They ignore my yelling at characters on the computer screen, and are forgiving when I accidentally write past the time for them to eat. It's one way of teaching the teenager to cook ...
