Review of Finding My Way on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Finding My Way by Heidi  McLaughlin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just when I thought this series could not get any better...it did!
It's no secret I am a Heidi McLaughlin fan.  She has auto download status on my Kindle.  I read all four books in this series and loved them all.  Initially, I wondered how much this prequel could add to this series-- since I thought I knew Liam and Josies' story.  Finding My Way added a whole new level of depth and dimension to this story. I was captivated from the first to the last page.  There were a few times that  I wanted to smack Liam and a few times that I wanted to hug him.    Finding My Way gets five huge rock stars.

Book Description:
I used to have a great life. My little world was bright. I had no complaints. My perfectly simple life made the fall from grace that much more devastating. I plummeted from the heavenly little bubble that I shared with Jake. I fell fast and hard straight into the fiery pits of hell. The knowledge of how things used to be is a bittersweet torture that refuses me even one moment of respite. I live in a painful reverie that I can’t escape.
I had it good once.
That’s gone now.
All of it disappeared like vapor into the ether. I’m a lost woman, wandering through grief and struggling to come to terms with my new title: widow. My family says I need understanding and closure. I say a cigarette and a bottle of wine is a much better option for instant gratification.
I’m the awkward, depressed one standing in the corner making everyone around me miserably uncomfortable. I’m the one with vacant eyes that society strives to help but can’t. I’m the one who hands out tight smiles and derisive snorts. I’m the widow adrift in this world with no direction. No meaning. No hope. No vital sign.

***

Sadie sets out on a journey to healing without knowing that things will get far worse before they get better. Despite her general indifference to organ donation, she finds herself on a journey to seek out the only people who benefited from her husband’s tragic death.
Resentment runs rampant as she meets the thriving organ recipients. Anger and jealousy spiral, sending the delicate structure of Sadie’s emotions into a tailspin.
Alexander McBride got a second chance—one that he didn’t necessarily want. Alexander is a game changer for Sadie. She hates him for his health but can’t help feeling at home in his presence. He soothes her grief in a way that is intoxicating, addictive even.
The heart that once fell in love with her now resides in Alexander McBride’s chest. It’s a circumstance that forces her to wage an internal war fueled by grief, anger, guilt, love, lust, and loyalty.
Sadie must discover the things that are vital to going on with her life if she has any hope of finding her way through the all-consuming grief that dominates every waking moment.

Excerpt:
When Jake died, I think I lost a major part of my own identity right along with him. His
heart stopped only for a while before it was forced to beat again in its new home. Zander’s chest.
That heart that I had drifted off to the unremitting thrum of so many times was going to beat
on. It was meant to thrive. It had so many more beats left in it and yet…my own heart seemed
to seize. It locked down like a petrified artifact from some long lost chapter in time when I was
happy and my heart was full. My own heart, at least figuratively, had become static within me. It
was lost without Jake. All of me was lost without Jake. I had become my very own Atlantis.

Synopsis:
Be careful what you wish for...
Normally, Aspen Edwards will do anything for her free-spirited best friend, Mischa, but this feels like a bit much. The plan is simple, all Aspen has to do is write down a few affirmations and recite them during the New Moon. But as skeptical as Aspen is, a promise is a promise. So, she whispers each wish to the universe, pondering the possibilities of "what if." Who wouldn't want a promotion at work, a new home, or to become an irresistible sex goddess?
But Aspen’s luck doesn't change with the wishes, or the wind. Each of her whispered prayers produces disaster. She gets fired. Her car breaks down. She gets kicked out of her house. And of course there is the crap icing on the cake of doom, falling for flirtatious and sexy, Wes, who sees her as nothing more than his “little sis”. It might not be so bad if his house weren't the only place she had to go.Unbeknownst to her, the universe has a few tricks up its sleeve, and Aspen's bad luck streak might just be putting her right where she needs to be!

I know I’m twisted. Growing up in a perfectly well-adjusted home, I don’t really have
an excuse. But no matter… I realize how messed up I am. And therapy can only do so
much.

I pushed my boyfriend to violence, a violence he couldn't control. Sickly, I almost liked
it. So I pushed him more. Before long, the pain outweighed the pleasure and the loss
I sustained shattered me. So I ran. I’m now a bit shell-shocked harboring a lot of guilt.

My boyfriend is now my ex and wants revenge. He wants me to pay for turning him into
the monster he’s become. And I still have a deviant yearning that I don’t understand. My
own monster inside… my own demon to battle.

I can’t get close to anyone. I can’t give in and scratch that itch. I can’t wreck someone
And now there is Kian… my rescuer on a dark, painful night. He sees through my
pretense. He tries to pull me from my frightened isolation, to keep me from becoming a
victim. He forces me to face my warped desires and shows me that pain doesn’t really
have to truly hurt.

He wants to show me a way to serenity. But I am afraid… Will I ruin a good man?

Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Deveraux & Lisa Kleypas. She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a true romantic & always has stories floating around in her head, living in a fantasyland until she writes them down to free them.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (ratherobsessively, actually... but, really, how can you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh.</ strong>) & pimps them out to all her friends through Spotify. She also delights in Met HD broadcasts at her local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte.

Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own calamitous, young-adult self.
He makes her laugh daily, even when things are tough. He's proved to her that love really can heal a
shattered soul. In 18 years, they have never had a fight, although argue regularly with their two teenage
kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that
Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason she is a writer & not a stand-up
comedian). They live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers & little yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.

Synopsis
Blair thought she would never get over her broken past. She'd all but given up. That's until West fell into her life with a bang. West thought no one could ever see past his epic mistakes. He'd all but given up. That's until Blair walked into his life and blew it to pieces.For the first time Blair's given a piece of herself away, picks herself off the ground and moves forward.

There's a light at the end of the tunnel and it has bad boy rockstar written all over it. That's something
But West is a part of rock'n'roll band, Affliction. Taking Blair on tour was his idea of heaven, but his time is in high demand and trying to be with her isn't working out as well as he'd hoped.

For Blair, being on the road with one of the most notorious bands in rock is a new kind of messed up.
she can work for. Something that makes her believe again. One she's not sure is for her…even with West in her bed. Jake West has kickstarted her heart, but who will be the one to smash it apart?
Or will their unexplainable attraction be strong enough to save them both?

Review:
Unexplainable by Amity Cross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. 4.00 stars. Cliffhanger.

Blair and West hit the road on a 50 stop international tour. Blair packs up the few things she owns including a truckload of emotional baggage and decides to give West a chance.  West manages to break down the hardened shell she has built around her heart.   Their relationship goes from lust to must, and these two can’t get enough on each other.  Life on the road is not a 24/7 party for rocks new “it” couple.  West is still battling addictions, and Blair is starting to get tired of dealing with groupie sluts and the bands' ass clown band manager. Can West and Blair learn to trust? Is Blair just Wests' latest addiction?

What a kick ass second book from newbie Aussie author Amity Cross. I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this hidden gem. Book two exceeded my expectations. I was a little bummed that there's a cliffhanger...but I have to say I'm over it. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment in this sexy, dysfunctional rock and roll tale of the heart.

I love Molly McAdams and Tyler Seielstad might be my new favorite photographer. Check out my review & author giveaway.  Don't forget to check out Molly's inspiration for Coen...web site info in my review.  You do not want to miss this.
Capturing Peace Synopsis:
Coen Steele has spent the last five years serving his country. Now that he's back, he's finally ready to leave behind the chaos of the battlefield and pursue his lifelong dream. What he wasn't expecting was the feisty sister of one of his battle buddies—who has made it obvious that she wants nothing to do with him—to intrigue him in a way no woman has before.

Reagan Hudson's life changed in the blink of an eye six years ago when she found out she was pregnant and on her own. Since then, Reagan has vowed never to let another man into her life so that no one can walk out on her, or her son, again. But the more she runs into her brother's hot and mysterious friend, the more he sparks something in her that she promised herself she wouldn't feel again.

Can two people with everything to lose allow themselves to finally capture the love they both deserve?

Capturing Peace by Molly McAdams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

PLEASE VISIT THIS SITE – www.mollysmcadams.com/capturing-peace....  Molly’s friend Tyler Seielstads photos were the inspiration to write *his* story.  Go check out the “real” Coen!   Tyler is pretty talented.

ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. No cliffhanger. 4.0 stars. HEA.  Part of a series but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Reagan gets pregnant at 16.  Her boyfriend wants nothing to do with being a teenage baby daddy and kicks her to the curb.  Reagan is close to her family, and she leans on them instead of her sons’ absentee dad. Reagan is fiercely independent, and a single mom completely devoted to her six year old son. Reagan swears off men and relationships.  She refuses to get hurt by another man.  Reagan ends up meeting Coen, her brothers’ hot friend that he met in the army.  Coen just got out of the service and is pursuing his dream of owning his own photography studio.  He is plagued with flashbacks and stress from horrific incidents that happened when he was a POW.  Coen does not feel he deserves to be happy. Reagan believes she is better off on her own. Can the two find peace and love?

Overall I liked Capturing Peace.  I liked it the way Reagan and Coens' connection built up. They did not have the insta-love thing going on…and the plots pace worked for these two emotionally guarded people.  Reagan was a solid character.  She was such a strong and smart character.  Coen is every single moms dream man. I know this was a novella (but I wanted more).    I liked these two characters, and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the Sharing You series. I have to say it was pretty cool to have a hero that wasn’t the stereotypical typical black-blond/ hair and green/blue eyes.  Go one click this one!

About Molly:
Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters. When she's not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies, fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm ... or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.
