Kristen Mazzola's, "Falling Back Down" is the first book in her Crashing Down series. It is a story of a young widow, Mags McManus, who is trying to cope with the loss of her husband Randy. She has an amazing support system- his family, her friends, and Walker, who is his best friend. They seem to bond over their grieving and with much guilt and apprehension Mags discovers she's in love with him. OMG, what an emotional read! But I loved it all. You really feel for Mags having to deal with loss, love, and guilt at such young age. Kristen has done an amazing job  with "Crashing Back Down", which ends with a major cliffhanger so I am waiting for book two with bated breath... Lol! I haven't cried this much reading a book before reading this one, but you feel to emotionally connected with Mags. That's the work of an amazing author. I loved this book and recommend to all. She's deserving of this 5 star review.

"Home On The a Ranch" is a beautiful story about stumbling upon LOVE, the second time around. I found this book to be well written and extremely descriptive. Joyce did an absolutely wonderful job at describing the scenery. I felt as if I too was on the ranch just watching everything unfold. What an enjoyable read and one I would definitely recommend.

I am a lifelong resident of the small town of Cave City, Kentucky where I hold down a full time job as office manager, working with my gorgeous husband, Larry, in our HVAC company every day. God has blessed us with four wonderful children, who in turn, have given us a gift of fourteen beautiful, exciting, energetic, brilliant and delightful grandchildren, one very special grandson-in-law, and the cutest and sweetest great grandson in the whole world! Each one is so unique and so delightful in every way, and so loved. I thank God for my beautiful Christian family and for the many blessings he has bestowed upon us.

I began writing in April of 2000. My very first novel, "Home On The Ranch" was released in 2001. It was so exciting to see my name on the cover of a book. Hooked beyond belief, I continued to write, not only novels, but children's books as well. Check out the novels/books page and the children's books page to view my published work and read summaries of the titles. As well as writing novels and books for children, I also enjoy writing songs so don't forget to check out the song page too.

My favorite activities are reading, taking long walks, horseback riding, playing with my grandchildren, and of course, Writing! I find writing to be so much fun, full of adventure and excitement.

Taking each day as it comes, working in a factory, Olivia is just plodding along through life. She’s resigned herself to the fact she’s not going to get her happily ever after, a husband… kids… because she has given up on men - they lie and cheat, leaving a world of pain in their wake.

Joel Turner is hard working, down to earth, sexy, kind, fun… in fact, he’s damn near perfect. Joel is exactly the type of man Olivia has always wanted. He stirs emotions in her that have laid dormant for years. He breaks down her walls, forcing Olivia to fall in love and to finally believe fairy tales really can come true.

Until she discovers something that could change it all.

Review

**received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review**

A story of two people who are made for each other.

I am absolutely enamored with Joel and Liv's story. A chance who would ever think that a chance encounter  and a bag of Tim Tams could change two people's lives forever.

Liv's character is so likable and relatable. Some of us have been where she is and have felt insecure for whatever reason and the need to be guarded because of past relationships. She is an extremely realistic character. 

I love Joel. Even with his past, he is perfect. He sees right into Liv's heart and soul. He's a compassion person and extremely gentle with just the right amount of lust and sex appeal.

I enjoyed reading "How to Liv" and give this book 5 stars. I recommend it to you all.

T.K. LEIGH: "A TRAGIC WRECK":Release Day Blitz

Book Title: A Tragic Wreck Author: T.K. Leigh Genre: Romantic Suspense Release Date: February 4, 2013 Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

How can you continue living when you’re living a lie? How can you convince your body to stop feeling, your soul to stop caring, and your heart to stop beating? Haunted by her past, Olivia Adler flees Boston for a beach in Florida, leaving everyone behind, trying to shut the world out. Remaining a relative recluse in her self-imposed prison, she tries to turn everything off, wanting to feel nothing. But a new acquaintance won’t let that happen. After being away from Alexander for a month, his voice constantly ringing in her head, reminding her that her inability to confront her demons will not only destroy her, but also him, can she really be expected to want to feel again when it brings nothing but pain? Back in Boston, everywhere he turns, Alexander Burnham is reminded of Olivia… His Olivia… He tries to dull the ache left in his heart the only way he knows how… in the bed of a beautiful woman. But Alexander isn’t about to lose his Olivia. After a clue comes to light regarding Olivia’s whereabouts, can he convince her to return to Boston with him? When a force that has laid dormant for months resurfaces, can Alexander still protect her from the unknown danger? And when Alexander comes face to face with a shadow of both his and Olivia’s past, will he be able to tell her the secret that is threatening to tear them apart? A Tragic Wreck is the continuation of T.K. Leigh’s heart-breaking Beautiful Mess series.

T. K. Leigh, otherwise known as Tracy Leigh Kellam, is a producer / attorney by trade. Originally from New England, she now resides in sunny Southern California with her husband, dog and three cats, all of which she has rescued (including the husband). She always had a knack for writing, but mostly in the legal field. It wasn’t until recently that she decided to try her hand at creative writing and is now addicted to creating different characters and new and unique story lines in the Contemporary Romantic Suspense genre. When she’s not planted in front of her computer, writing away, she can be found running and training for her next marathon (of which she has run over fifteen fulls and far too many halfs to recall). Unlike Olivia, the main character in her Beautiful Mess series, she has yet to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

 

 “Well, then, what do you want from me, Olivia?” he asked loudly, watching her walk away. She spun around abruptly and searched his eyes. “I don’t want you to always feel like you have to come and help me, Alex,” she whimpered, her throat beginning to close up again, thinking about the man who was no longer hers. “I just want you to stand by my side while I try to help myself.” Her eyes narrowed, staring at him as he remained silent on the busy Boston street. “Do you think you can do that?” She looked at him as snow continued to blanket the sidewalk, desperately wanting him to say that yes, he could do that. That he would stand by her side. That he would forget all about her running out on him. And that he would do anything he could to make sure she never did the same thing again. But instead, Alexander just stood there and stared, not saying anything. Several moments passed, the silence deafening. “That’s what I thought.” Her eyes fell as she turned and continued to walk, shivering from the snow and the last shattered pieces of her heart being stomped on. Alexander tried to open his mouth to say something. Anything. Tell her to wait. Stop. He made a mistake. But nothing came out. He knew he had just let the only woman he would ever truly love walk out of his life. And he did nothing. He watched his entire world fall apart and he didn't do anything to stop it. All of a sudden, he felt more lonely than he had ever felt in all his thirty years.
