I, too, was in the Air Force 24 years and have been to Whiteman.

Thank you all for the Anniversary wishes! Hubby had to work so I've been kind of down but this so made me feel better.

Happy Anniversary goldilocks! Wow! 31 years is something to celebrate! My FIL is from Germany. Now his life story would be a book to write! He was in the U.S. army till he retired too.

jersysman, Hubby was in the USAF for nine years. They took his career field and turned it civilian so we got out.

Just found out Wait for You has been picked up by HarperCollins! There will be 3 books in the series. So now I have to read it!

I finished Reckless yesterday which was perfect time spending my Anniversary. The wedding scene was awesome! I cried so much.

This is what I wrote on GR after finishing it.

"I'm sitting here crying because I've finished the book and now I have to say goodbye to a couple I've laughed, cried, jeered and cheered with. It's been an amazing journey and I don't want to let go. I've never felt this way before over a book. bye Kellan, Kiera and of course Griffin. "

I can now say Reckless is the best book out of the trio. 5 Stars maybe more if I could give them. I was a blubbery mess reading it. Mostly happy tears because they've been through so much and I so wanted them to have their HEA. I loved Reckless to pieces! So much I wanted to hug my Kindle after I finish it like I use to a good book. It's been a long time since I felt like doing that but I've also didn't want to say goodbye either.

Thoughtless was a train wreck. I couldn't stop reading it though, Effortless was let's see how they mature and if it will work out but Reckless was finally this is how it should've been in the first place! Everything was tied up in a nice big pretty bow for a great finish.
You have to read all 3 to get the full impact but it's well worth it.

Beyond Nostalgia [Kindle Edition] Tom Winton (Author)


http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Nostalg..._154606011_f_8

Many readers have said that Beyond Nostalgia is a story that kept reappearing in their minds long after they read it. A multi-category Amazon Bestseller, it is book that will make you laugh and make you cry. It will break your heart and then it will heal it again. You’ll love the main character, and you will hate him as well.


“Dean Cassidy looks back on a life filled with hardship and remembers Theresa Wayman, the bright spark that lit up his world when he was eighteen. As an adult, many years later, Cassidy continues his struggle to be successful in life, but can't move past his betrayal and loss of Theresa.

Beyond Nostalgia is a poignant story about growing up, making choices, betrayal, forgiveness and moving on. Cassidy and Theresa find inspiration, joy and acceptance together in their world of dysfunctional families and economic hardships. But one night Cassidy, in a drunken stupor, makes a terrible choice that costs him his relationship with Theresa. Twenty-five years later, with the encouragement of his devoted wife, Cassidy focuses his sadness and angst into writing a book - a book that will eventually lead him to another crossroad in his life and redemption from his suffering.

Author Tom Winton has a distinct and engaging voice. His characters are compelling, struggling to grow and make the right choices in spite of being wracked with inner and outer turmoil. Winton's succinct writing not only defines his characters, but also captures and conveys the sense of time with rich precision - from the world of drugs, economic depression, racial tension and emotional tension as the young men are drafted to war, to the music and clothing styles of the time, that makes the story all the more vivid and appealing.

A moving portrait of a man's transformation through life, from a teenager inspired by his first love to a man who finally learns to accept his fate, Beyond Nostalgia is an illuminating and poignant tale…”

Iron Branch: A Civil War Tale of a Woman In-Between [Kindle Edition]
Kelby Ouchley (Author)


http://www.amazon.com/Iron-Branch-Ci...154606011_f_96

Iron Branch explores cultural conflicts of the American Civil War era as experienced by those not often elevated to lead roles. Abita Carter, a half-Choctaw woman who describes herself as always “in-between,” tells the story of her life and that of the young lawyer/soldier, Minor Barrett, in north Louisiana during the Civil War. The core of the tale involves Abita’s journey to find Minor, who is reported to have been wounded during the siege of Vicksburg. Along the way she faces a cast of characters with varying intentions. General Grant’s wife, a family of slaves with compassion beyond reason, and a small blind mule are among those encountered in the rich, Deep South setting. None, though, is more distracting than Minor’s blue-blooded wife, who seeks her husband for a different purpose. Abita’s state of “in-between” takes on new meanings as she is drawn ever deeper into the turmoil of the times. Passion, self-doubt, and malice finally threaten her existence in any condition.

Re: J.Lynn - Wait for You, I loved this book, but that's just me. I think it had a nice balance of drama, laughter and romance and I've always enjoyed her writing style, but I think she keeps improving with each book and this was easily her best in my opinion.

Re: S.C. Stephens Thoughtless series, GAH, you're killing me! I think I may just bite the bullet and buy the first one already. I'm very doubtful it will come on sale now that Reckless is doing so well and staying in top 100.

Olivia Kaspen is a sharp tongued manipulator used to always getting what she wants. With just one exception-Caleb Drake, the one she foolishly let slip away. After a chance encounter brings Caleb back into her life, Olivia finds herself wanting a second chance with her first love, and asking herself how far she is willing to go to get him back. Her only problem is a red head named Leah, Caleb's new love. Olivia must fight for what was once hers, and in the process discover that sometimes love falls short of redemption.

repeat: The Duchess of Love by Sally MacKenzie [Zebra]

A DUKE IN DISGUISE…
The day was as hot as the pond was inviting. It’s not as if anyone in Little Huffington was going to happen upon a secluded vale on the Duke of Greycliffe’s lands. And Venus Collingswood didn’t want to get her shift all wet. It was the perfect setting in which to plan her lovely bookworm of a sister’s betrothal to the mysterious new duke arriving seven days hence. If only she had a suitable accomplice…

Andrew Valentine, Duke of Greycliffe, never thought arriving at his own household a week early would cause so much trouble. The housekeeper thinks he’s his own cousin. Actually, the chance to not be the duke for a while is a pleasant opportunity indeed. It might even help him interrogate the delectable little nymph he’s discovered swimming in his pond—if he can manage to get a word in edgewise…
