Silver Linings The Ripple Effect Series, Blog Tour & Book Review

Image
Tour Schedule Silver Linings by Kaylee Baldwin  Drew Westfall wants nothing more than to forget what he had to do in the name of "smart" business. Cutting off all ties with his parents—including handing over the entire contents of his trust fund to a charity—he takes off for Bridger, Colorado where his best friend has an extra room for him. It doesn't take long for him to realize that his business degree won’t do him much good in a town as small as Bridger, but he's broke and has nowhere else to go. Eden Torresi has every reason to wallow. Not only did she have to sell her house to pay for her mother’s medical expenses, but she also had to drop out of school and is in a relationship with a guy unwilling to commit. But Eden isn't the wallowing type. Instead, she chooses to spend most of her time taking care of the seniors at Silver Linings Assisted Living. When she learns that her boyfriend's new roommate is down on his luck, her caring nature mak

Fearless (Ruin #2.5) by Rachel Van Dyken, Book Review

Image
Blurb: When I met Kiersten, time stood still. It was as if every cell in my body screamed HER. I couldn't look away, I couldn't walk away, I couldn't even move. My other half, my soul mate, was staring right at me. I had to have her. I had to make her mine. But I felt selfish doing that--knowing that I may not have endless amounts of time to give her...and even now that every things' over with and I've been given that time back.  Nothing is ever certain in this life.  Which is why I'm about to do something crazy, impulsive, daring.  After all, what type of person would I be if I didn't take my own advice? I'm jumping off the cliff, I'm living fearlessly. This is the continuation of Wes and Kiersten's story. My Review: Well Rachel Van Dyken has done it again!  I literally flew through the 100 pages of this novella and was left wanting more!  I love the surprise, the thoughtfulness, the emotions, the love that Wes and Kiersten have for e

Blurb: (Better Date than Never series, Book #7)  Career-driven attorney, Jill Parnell, has worked long and hard to become a partner at Corbett, Gray, & Shaw. When the coveted position is given to the boss’s nephew, she does what any intelligent employee would do—attends a colleague’s wedding and schmoozes a high-powered partner at another law firm.  Her potential new boss has only one condition for her, that she demonstrate a personal life that will support a thriving career. Pretending to have a boyfriend is outside Jill’s comfort zone, but she invites the best man to act the part and Ryan is all-too eager to play her significant other. Sparks fly between them, but she reminds herself she’s only driven to date to get back on the partner track.  When Jill discovers Ryan is the lawyer who stole her promotion, her charade threatens to implode. But breaking off their pretend relationship could cost her the job of her dreams. And the more she gets to know Ryan, the more she

With an election coming up and her job on the line, p ublic opinion is crucial. That means keeping her distance from newspaper editor Mark Taylor.   Effortlessly handsome and dangerously charming, Mark is hard to resist, but his sudden interest makes Andi wonder if his dinner invitations are for business or pleasure. Andi has to admit she could use his help in solving a local theft, but working with Mark would make her the talk of the town, or worse…it could land her on the front page. My Review: A Minute on the Lips is a sweet and charming story set in the small town of Tall Pines; a close knit community that is full of some fun characters!  Sheriff Andrea Jackson is wound up so tight, has to have everything in order and nothing out of place....will she ever relax?  Newspaperman Mark Taylor is handsome and charming but has done the sheriff wr

Power to Become by David A. Bednar, Book Review

Image
Book Description:   In  Power to Become,  Elder David A. Bednar explores how the Savior makes possible His divine commission, "Therefore I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven is perfect" (3 Nephi 12:48). Chapters in this thought-provoking book highlight the importance of the Atonement, the spiritual gift of personal peace, the importance of priesthood ordinances, and the responsibility we have to obey willingly and endure valiantly. "As we increase in learning about the Savior and His gospel," Elder Bednar writes, "as we strive with ever greater consistency to act in His doctrine, ordinances, and covenants, then we are blessed with power through His Atonement to increasingly become like Him."  Power to Become  introduces vital tools we all can use to invite these eternally significant blessings into our lives. About the Author:   ELDER   DAVID  A.  BEDNAR  was called to serve as a member of the Quorum
