Review – The Good Samaritan

The Good Samaritan (Standalone)
by RC Boldt (Author)

This review is from: August 31, 2018 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

Couldn’t stop reading…OMG!! This book will grip you in a way that will leave you thinking about humanity, kindness, and love on an entirely new level.

People often throw around the phrase “Family is who you make it, not whom you’re related to”, but what if you choose to have no one? What if you choose solidarity? What if you choose a life without shelter, a life without material things, a life without attachments, a life without protection, a life unlike any you’ve ever known? What if you were living a life of penance, and this was how you were punishing yourself for a wrong you felt you committed. There was no jury of your peers sentencing you to live this way, only your guilt, your shame, your own life sentence of wrong doings to make up for.

“Some might think I’d feel whole again by now, that I’d have gained some semblance of closure, but it hasn’t happened. Though the grief has lessened, the guilt remains. I haven’t paid enough for my wrongdoings.”

Now imagine trying to live this way anonymously, which let’s face it, most people who are homeless are pretty anonymous, but if you begin doing good deeds and those good deeds inspire those around you to do good deeds for others, perhaps your anonymity might cause someone to take notice. A light may be cast on the one story that sent you into the shadows to begin with, unfortunately by the one person who actually first noticed you for you and not the monster you really are inside. What would you do to hide those secrets?

“I vow to do everything in my power to keep this woman safe. Even if it’s from myself.”

When someone actually likes you for you, flaws and all, you feel ten feet tall. It doesn’t take a lot to feel a connection, it just takes a spark and when you know a good person, you know. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes that person a while to believe it themselves because when you have nothing, you have nothing to lose, but when you begin to form attachments that’s when things change and begin to mean everything.

“As if sensing my attention, she glances up, and I stiffen in response. Because I’m me. Homeless. A guy with nothing to offer.”

Jude and Faith have nothing and yet everything to risk. Their story will inspire and move you in a way that I can hardly begin to explain.

This is a must read story on every level and if you only read one book this year make it The Good Samaritan!!

New Release – Unbreak This Heart

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Unbreak This Heart
Author: Betty Shreffler
Genre: Contemporary Romance Standalone
Release Date: August 31, 2018

BLURB 

Ever since that horrific night, I’d shut men completely out of my life. I’d gone from the spunky, fun, Alex DeMarco to a broken woman terrified of intimacy. Easing me back into dating, my best friend sets me up with kickboxing lessons from my charming and perfectly sculpted instructor—Carter Maxwell.

Carter’s goal is to break through my emotional barrier and mold my heart just like he molds my body, but trusting men is a battle I’m not ready for. What’s worse is my ex fiancé, Todd Livingston—the man who tore my heart in two—wants me back, and as much as I’d like to deny it, the feelings are still there.

Both men want what I can’t give—my body and my love—and neither are willing to give up the fight. But only one of them can unbreak this heart of mine.

New Release – Broken

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Broken
Author: Crystal Kaswell
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: August 31, 2018

BLURB

Some things in life are undeniable.

Trent Stone’s smile is as rare as a rainy day in California.

His eyes are the most beautiful thing in the entire universe.

And the two of us are broken.

For years, we had everything. The kind of love that only exists in fairytales. But it slipped through my fingers. I left and I took his heart with me.

That was supposed to be it. The end. Forever.

Now, I’m face to face with Trent, staring into those soulful brown eyes, choking on all the things I want to say. My heart is begging for his comfort. My body is begging for his touch. My head… my head knows better.

He hates me for leaving.

But if he knew the truth…

This is one secret I’m taking to my grave.

I just hope it doesn’t kill me.

New Release – Hot Heir

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Hot Heir
Author: Pippa Grant
Genre: Sexy Romantic Comedy
Release Date: August 31, 2018

BLURB 

If I had to pick a bride of convenience, my first choice would NOT be Peach Maloney.
My fiftieth choice would NOT be Peach.
Top spot on my list of occupational hazards? Yes.
Royal pain in the ass?  Yes.
A bride of convenience? No.
But I’ve unexpectedly gone from royal bodyguard to monarch, having inherited a crown that was stolen from my family long before my birth. The kicker of this unexpected royal gift? In order to take the throne I must find a wife.
Have I mentioned Peach would NOT have been my hundredth choice?
But I’ve no other options, and she needs a favor that my new position can fulfill quite nicely. So we’ve agreed to play the doting newlyweds out in public.
In private, though, our rules are simple:
No touching.
No talking.
And certainly no sex.
I should have known better than to marry a rule-breaking pain in the arse.
