Review: Our Enemy Brings Change (The Untamed Frontier Book #3) by Genny Cothern

 

A spellbinding and sweet Native American historical romance for Young Adults featuring two people who are friends, but who must not fall in love with each other.

What Will Happen When We Give Our Enemy His Life?

When Starling Nelson begs Good Eagle—her best friend and partner— to spare the life of an enemy, little does she know how this one single action might affect her life. For a year now, Starling has realized her friendship with Good Eagle has blossomed into love. But, because Good Eagle’s heart belongs to another, she has learned to ignore the rapid beating of her own heart whenever Good Eagle is near.

Good Eagle finishes the fight the young Nez Perce warrior started and grants the warrior his life, but only because his partner, Starling, insists upon it. But when the Nez Perce warrior offers a piece of advice to Good Eagle, it has the effect of changing not only Good Eagle’s mind-set about love, it might very well change his life forever.

But, there are doubts about a happy ever after for Good Eagle and Starling, because, though Good Eagle’s past love is no longer alive, in spirit she still haunts him.

Can Good Eagle and Starling win against the supernatural? Or will this one chance at love fail, separating them forever?

 

My Review: 

A sweet coming of age story. 

I have really enjoyed the Untamed Frontier series and this book is a great addition to it.  This is a entertaining story about best friends, Good Eagle and Starling Nelson, and their adventures.  This time they befriend a warrior from another tribe who gives Good Eagle some good advice about falling in love with Starling.  But there are many steps Good Eagle must take before he can claim Starling as his woman.  This novella is part of a continuing story, so I advise you to start with the first book.   

 

Review: Risking it for the Cowboy (The McClintocks of Legacy Creek, Book 1) by E. Elizabeth Watson

He’s spent years polishing his bad boy reputation….

Thaddeus (T.R.) McClintock is the black sheep of his large ranching family, and he can swing a hammer and play guitar like he’s caressing a lover. He’s the epitome of a playboy, yet when he pulls Charlize Bradford up on stage one night to sing, the gorgeous, brainy wallflower rocks his world. T.R.’s life in the fast lane screams to a halt. But the single mom is wary for good reason, and for the first time T. R.’s determined to make a good impression.

The last thing dethroned pageant queen, Charlie, needs is a cowboy mechanic who’s the infamous frontman in a band. His megawatt grin coupled with his kindness and admiration tempts the paleontology professor, who studies extinct daisies, to contemplate a fling. Then T.R. shows hidden depths, and bonds with her daughter, and Charlie knows she’s in trouble.

T.R. never imagined falling in love, and Charlie vowed to never again give a man a chance. But she has a secret and stepping into the spotlight could be dangerous. 

 

My Review: 

A love worth waiting for. 

TR McClintock had a dream, to become a country music star, but over the years one thing or another held him back.  Then he met Charlie Bradford and knew with her in the band, they could make it big.  TR also wanted Charlie for more than just a bandmate.  But Charlie swore off band boys after her crazy ex.  She just wants a normal life to raise her daughter.  TR refuses to give up until he has what he wants.  This book is so well written and full of emotion, it’s one I won’t soon forget. 

Review: Possessed by Murder (Suddenly Psychic, Book 2) by JP Bird

 

A cold case, hot coffee, and an impromptu séance brew the smalltown amateur sleuth’s second murder case…

When her best friend convinces Amelia Wethers to participate in a séance, the newly minted psychic, barista and artist is forced to add possessed to her repertoire. Now, instead of seeing a ghost pleading with her to find her murdered body, Ami is sharing her body with the very hungry ghost of Henrietta Bathers, a Hillside resident who mysteriously disappeared over eighty years ago.

While Henrietta seems determined to eat her way through town and embrace all the human pleasures and discoveries she missed, Ami and her friends, and family, including her new detective boyfriend, investigate Henrietta’s life and last steps. They hope that by finding justice for Henrietta and reuniting her earthbound spirit with her family, the possession will end.

Adding to the chaos, her boyfriend’s parents unexpectedly arrive in town, making acting “normal” an even a bigger reach for free spirited Ami. And that’s before another ghost—this one vengeful—appears, threatening the living and dead.

 

My Review:

An entertaining and fast-paced book. 

This is one of the most original stories I have read in a while.  It is entertaining, interesting, unpredictable and even comical in some parts.  I enjoyed catching up with Amelia, this time possessed by Henrietta, a woman who has been missing for forty years.  The race is on to find Henrietta’s body and her killer.  Just when I thought the story couldn’t get any better, it did.
