#FallIntoBooks #ReReads



I love re-reading my favorite books! When I have some time between review books or I'm in a reading slump, my go-to's are the novellas in the Timeless Romance Anthology and Timeless Regency Collection books! I have a serious addiction. The e-books are only four or five dollars each (or 99 cents when they are on sale). I've found so many stories that I love, and discovered some amazing authors as well! 

Be sure to follow the Timeless Romance Anthologies Facebook page where they have a giveaway every Friday!

As much as I enjoy the convenience of downloading e-books to my Kindle Paperwhite, it's always a good day when I can swing in my local used bookstore and find some great books to add to my keeper shelf. They have half an aisle of inspirational fiction and a full wall of children's books so I can usually find a book or two or six... Shout-out to Book Place in San Diego, CA!

#FallIntoBooks #TearJerker



I absolutely loved the first book in the series, Yesterday's Promise, and fell in love with the two main characters. They have  quite a bit of hardships and struggles in this second book, and emotions were flying high! Since I felt such a connection to Collin and Katie I was definitely moved to tears as I read the twists and turns their journey took.

Heidi Reads... A Promise for Tomorrow by Michele Paige Holmes


http://www.amazon.comhttp://www.amazon.comhttp://www.barnesandnoble.comhttp://www.bookdepository.comhttp://www.goodreads.com

Synopsis

Scottish Highlands, 1700s:

Barely two weeks have passed since Laird Collin MacDonald first darkened Katherine Mercer’s doorstep and married her. Marriage has hardly been what she expected, given their grueling and adventurous days of travel to the Scottish Highlands. Along with the discovery that Collin’s twin Ian would like to see her dead, Katie must now face her own clan, whose chief wants to kill Collin and take her to wife himself. All because Katie possesses the Campbell gift of sight, passed down through centuries of her ancestors.

With little more than faith in her grandfather’s vision and her unique bond with Collin to guide her, Katie steps bravely into an unknown future, where the glimpses afforded her may bring more danger than direction. When the misuse of her gift takes Collin from her side, she is left alone and vulnerable. Help arrives in the most unexpected form as Ian MacDonald makes good on his threat to attack the Campbells and Katie learns that the bond between brothers and love knows no bounds.

#FallIntoBooks #FavoriteCharacter



One of my favorite characters is Jack from Pimpernel by Sheralyn Pratt! He's such an enigma, and it's been an amazing journey as more about him is revealed with each book.  I also love Claire with her amazingly unique characteristics. These are books I *highly* recommend!!!

Heidi Reads... Pimpernel by Sheralyn Pratt


http://www.amazon.comhttp://www.amazon.comhttp://www.goodreads.com

Synopsis

For centuries, the elite of the world have sought the Pimpernel everywhere. Some want to kill him, others want to hire him, but Jack Cavanaugh knows that the love/hate relationship comes with the job title.

At present, Jack is trying to dismantle an investment scheme centered in Las Vegas, but "trying" is the operative word. It's been a month since he put the face of the scheme behind bars, yet the scam is still going strong. As Jack tries to uncover who has stepped in as the new head, what miniscule evidence there is all seems to point him back to Claire Ramsey, an introverted PhD student studying at UNLV.

If ever there as an unlikely head of an investment scheme, Claire's it. She has a genius IQ, but from all Jack has seen, Claire’s intelligence is as much a blessing as a curse when paired up with her acute OCD. Claire can barely make conversation with the cute guy down the hall, which makes it hard to believe she could be the charismatic salesperson who is getting international businessmen to invest $5—50 million a pop.

So what is Jack missing? What is the real story behind Claire Ramsey? And once Jack learns it, will he be able to walk away?

Synopsis

One man, one night, one dance, and one question…none of which Claire Ramsey sees coming.

She thinks the night is a test—a call to rise above her insecurities and step more fully into her skills. It’s been a year since she learned about the Pimpernel and fell in love with the man of so many masks. Jack’s world is full of high stakes and big players, and Claire wants in.

To her frustration, Jack is dragging his feet on letting her all the way into both his heart and his work. The risk is too high, he says. But Claire is ready to prove him wrong. She’s ready to go all-in.

What Claire doesn’t know is that Jack is no lone wolf, and the world he is shielding her from is much bigger than she has ever imagined.

But one man, one night, one dance, and one question will change everything. 



COMING OCTOBER 2018!!!

Jack is also an integral part of the final book of the Rhea Jensen series (which can be read as a stand-alone), and I loved seeing that side of him and the tie-in to the Pimpernel series. It's so intense!!!

Heidi Reads... Walk of Infamy by Sheralyn Pratt


http://www.amazon.comhttp://www.amazon.comhttp://www.goodreads.com

Synopsis

Rhea Jensen has a date with destiny. A powerful, multi-national group calling itself The Fours considers her a threat. She doesn’t know why The Fours think this, only that they will destroy her life and the lives of everyone she loves if she doesn’t do as she’s asked.

Rhea knows where to be, when to be there, and that the odds are not in her favor for a happy ending. That’s it. What she’s about to learn is that the past seven years of her life were not what they seemed, and there is a 99.9% chance she will not live to see another day. Her date with destiny is rigged to become a date with infamy.

The question Rhea must ask herself is: Is she going to die on her terms, or on The Fours terms?

Her life, and the end thereof, has just become a game for the rich and powerful to watch play out live, and they’ve played this game many times before with other people more skilled than Rhea. The rules are designed so that the House wins every time. Rhea knows she can’t win—not without a miracle. But if she’s not going to get what she wants, well then, neither are The Fours. The clock is running, though, so whatever Rhea’s going to do, she needs to do it quick.
