In This Moment (Timeless) by Gabrielle Meyer My most anticipated book coming out this year!

 In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer is the most anticipated sequel to When The Day Comes, my favorite book of all from last year. in this Moment follows Margaret "Maggie" through her 3 lives. She lives in Washington DC in all 3 lives just at different times. Everyday she wakes up in a different time period, 1861, 1941 and 2001. 

Maggie has different careers in all 3 times and has potential suitors in all 3 times also. At the age of 21 Maggie will have to choose which life she wants to live in, sacrificing her other 2 lives. I loved this book and eagerly read far past my bedtime to find out who/when Maggie would choose. the lives were very interesting and each had it's own appeal. I loved the settings and all of the characters were very life like. 

I do recommend reading When The Day Comes before reading In This Moment. I was absolutely thrilled to hear that there will be a third book. So brew up a pot of tea, throw supper in the crockpot and settle in for a fabulous read.

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

I have pre-ordered a paperback copy to add to my keeper shelf!

From Amazon:

Maggie inherited a gift from her time-crossing parents that allows her to live three separate lives in 1861, 1941, and 2001. Each night, she goes to sleep in one time period and wakes up in another. Until she turns twenty-one, when she will have to forfeit two of those lives--and everyone she knows in them--forever.

In 1861, Maggie is the daughter of a senator at the outbreak of the Civil War, navigating a capital full of Southern spies and wounded soldiers. In 1941, she is a navy nurse, grappling with her knowledge of the future when she joins a hospital ship going to Pearl Harbor. And in 2001, she's a brilliant young medical student, fulfilling her dream of becoming a surgeon.

While Maggie has sworn off romance until she makes her final choice, an intriguing man tugs at her heart in each era, only complicating the impossible decision she must make, which looms ever closer. With so much on the line, how can Maggie choose just one life to keep and the rest to lose?

The Libyan Diversion By Joel Rosenberg

 

The Libyan Diversion is the fifth book in Joel Rosenberg's Marcus Ryker books, and in humble opinion the best one yet. I just finished reading it and my heart is still pounding! Talk about edge of your seat, non stop action, Wow!. Now as much as I loved it I must caution that it is a political thriller and not for the faint of heart as there are some graphic scenes. I do love the realistic feel to Rosenberg's books. Living in Israel as he does, he gives an authentic view to events that could happen at any time.

Marcus Ryker and all of the other characters have depth and backstories, they are very realistic and as such I really cared what happened to them. Rosenberg uses great detail such that one almost feels a par of the action, I found myself flinching at times. I highly recommend the whole Marcus Ryker series starting with the Kremlin conspiracy. The only problem with this book is that it is over and now I need to find something else to read!

So settle back with a pot of tea for a fantastic, edge of your seat adventure!

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

From New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg comes the fifth military and international political thriller in the Marcus Ryker series.

The world’s most wanted terrorist is dead. Marcus Ryker recommended the drone strike himself. The intelligence was rock-solid. But what if it was wrong?

Abu Nakba—the man responsible for lethal attacks in Washington, D.C., London, and Jerusalem—is finally dead. Marcus Ryker has been tasked with hunting down and destroying what’s left of the terror group Kairos.

But before Ryker can mobilize his team of CIA operatives with their new assignment, a disturbing report from Libya suggests all may not be as it seems. The U.S. bombing that should have taken out Nakba’s headquarters now appears to have been a disastrous mistake—and Ryker himself may be responsible.

With Kairos gearing up for a major retaliatory strike against the U.S., time is short, and terror cells may already be inside American borders. But Ryker won’t be able to stop this threat until he clears his own name, and his closest ally inside the White House can no longer help him.

The Libyan diversion threatens to leave Ryker on the sidelines just when his country needs him most.

Packed with action and intrigue, this thriller novel is everything Joel’s fans have come to expect.

• A high-stakes suspense novel for fans of Jack Carr, Ryan Steck, and Kyle Mills
• Perfect for fans of geopolitical thrillers

The Homecoming Of Logan Thorne by Susan May Warren

 Who is Logan Thorne? If you have been reading Susan May Warren lately, Logan Thorne has been a mysterious leader of men. I really enjoyed reading The Homecoming of Logan Thorne as it finally gives a history to a very mysterious man. I also really liked Tessa. She is a fantastic young woman, very dedicated to those she loves. Although it is only a novella I was truly satisfied with this story. Warren has again created a believable tale and even better it is set in Minnesota! So grab a warm beverage and settle in for a great backstory.

Although this review says it is for the e-book I purchased my paperback copy form Susan May Warren's author store.

What will it cost him to return home?

When Logan Thorne said goodbye Tessa Plum, the woman he loved three years ago, he didn’t expect it to be forever.

But, as a guy listed as dead and now on the run from the CIA, he can’t exactly show up in his hometown and restart his life.
Unless…unless he disguises himself as Santa, and just…checks in on her. He’ll make sure she’s okay, and then he’ll leave.
Really.

Except that brilliant plan doesn’t go according to plan, and suddenly he’s sneaking around small town Minnesota, helping an unknowing Tessa with a project like a Secret Santa.

Secret HOT Santa, according to Tessa. She doesn’t know where the man has come from, but she’ll take his help to create a magical Christmas for their tornado-ravaged town.

But what happens when she discovers that her impossible Christmas wish has come true? Can she let the man she’s never forgotten leave again? Even if it means saving his life?

Is there a resurrection for Logan Thorne?

Read the long-awaited story of the epic homecoming of Logan Thorne.

Under Fire Defend and Protect book 3 by Lynn Blackburn

Lynn Blackburn's Under fire is exciting and suspenseful, an enthralling story from beginning to end. Book three in the Defend and Protect series reunites the characters from earlier books and I always enjoy updates on characters form other books. Tessa and Zane are well developed including flaws. They are both strong characters who show quite a bit of growth as the plot progresses. I have really enjoyed all three books in this trilogy.

So brew a pot of tea and settle in for a suspenseful read.

I was given a copy of Under fire by the publisher with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

USSS Special Agent Zane Thacker has landed his dream assignment protecting the president of the United States. When the president plans a fundraiser at the exclusive estate of a political supporter in Raleigh, Zane is thrilled to be working again with Special Agent Tessa Reed, his best friend--and the woman he desperately wishes could be more.

Though Tessa almost lost everything, she battled her demons and came out on the other side healthy and healed. But when her role as the liaison between the Raleigh office and the president's protective detail wrenches her past back into the present, her greatest failure threatens to come to light.

Zane refuses to let Tessa go through this alone. But can he stand by the woman he loves and protect the president from a mounting threat at the same time?

Sparks fly as award-winning romantic suspense writer Lynn H. Blackburn closes out her Defend and Protect series with this explosive tale of secrets kept, lies exposed, and relationships restored.
