Son of Set
Descendants of Isis #2
by Kelsey Ketch
Release Date: 05/02/14

Summary from Goodreads:

". . . the Sons would never just let him go-alive."

Seth O'Keefe has broken the laws of his god. He never thought he would sacrifice his own future to protect a Daughter of Isis. But when the Sons of Set discovered Natti is the Secret Keeper, he had no choice. Now, Seth and Natti are on the run from his father, who wants nothing more than to see Seth dead. With no allies, Seth turns to the Daughters of Isis for help, hoping they would protect Natti. But when they meet the Daughters, he discovers a secret that puts both their lives in more danger. Low on options, Seth sees only one possibility for survival. He must help Natti solve an ancient puzzle and find the secret name of Ra.

Natara "Natti" Stone is having a hard time swallowing the truth. She can't believe what she has learned in the past twenty-four hours: Seth is a Son of Set blessed with charm; she is a Daughter of Isis blessed with a sliver of Ma 'at; the locket her grandmother gave her holds an ancient Egyptian secret linking to Osiris and Isis. That along with being tortured and brutalized by the Sons of Set, she can hardly hold herself together. Thank God for Seth's touch! That warm, tingling sensation that drowns it all out. Yet her heart struggles to stay focused. She must quickly embrace her destiny before the secret name of Ra falls into the wrong hands.

My Review:

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

Seth O'Keefe is a Son of Set along with his father. Seth has always followed his father's rules always doing as he said. It didn't matter if he liked it or not. His father was the boss and was to be respected. Seth and his father worship the God of Set. Seth never expected to go against his own father much less the God of Set but he did when the Sons of Set kidnapped Natara "Natti" Stone when they found out that she was the Secret Keeper.

Natti and Seth are now on the run trying to stay at least one step ahead of his father because all his father wants now is to see Seth dead. Natti is a Daughter of Isis and Seth is hoping that they will protect them both and keep them safe from his father and the Sons of Set. But after finding the Daughters of Isis Seth finds out that they will not protect him. Seth also learns that a part of his life has been a lie from the Daughters of Isis. But Seth will do whatever is necessary to keep Natti alive and away from his evil father.

Seth has always been able to get and have any girl he wants and he always dates more than one girl at a time. Each and every one of his girlfriends all know about each other and do not care that he has other girlfriends as long as they are a part of his little harem. Well of course they may be a little arguing over who is his top girl. Seth has these special abilities that help him get and keep all these girls at once. Natti likes Seth very much but she is not sure that what she feels is her own true feelings or if it is Seth who is making her feel this way. Natti wants to be her own boss and in control of her own destiny.

I have really, really loved and enjoyed reading both the Daughter of Isis and Son of Set. I fell in love with all of the characters in the first book Daughter of Isis and still love them all in Sons of Set. I hope and can't wait to read the next book in the series. I say I loved all of the characters, well maybe that is not entirely true because Seth's father was not a very nice man. The things he did to his son, his wife and other people as well were just not right. How can anyone be so cruel? But I guess that is what makes for a good book is having the good with the bad. If you have not read the Daughter of Isis or Son of Set then I highly recommend that you do so today!

Book Release Blast: Intercepting Love By L.P. Dover @LPDover @GHBTours






Intercepting Love
A Second Chance standalone novel # 5
Genre - Contemporary/Romantic Suspense
Cover Designed by - Regina Wamba with Mae I Design and Photography
Publication Date- May 26th, 2014

Both have what she wants … but only one has what she needs.

Working with professional athletes and helping them recover from their injuries has always been Kate Townsend's dream, but after an accident left her scarred and heartbroken years ago she refuses to let what happened in her past happen again. Staying focused is the key, as well as not letting her feelings interfere with her job … no matter the circumstances. All of that is easier said than done when not only one, but two men crave her healing touch, igniting every single desire she's denied herself for so long.

Cooper Davis, NFL's star quarterback and most eligible bachelor, packs up and leaves his home to move across the states to the East Coast after an injury results in the embarrassing trade to another team. Bitter from the pain, he deals with his problems through drugs and alcohol-almost ruining his football career-until he meets the one woman who makes him want to feel; the same woman who refuses to give up on him no matter how many times he screws up. He has to have her, and he's not going to stop until he makes her his. Especially, now that someone else threatens to take her away.

Motocross champion and local bad boy Luke Collins never takes no for an answer. For the past four months he's used his charms to get what he wants, and now he's so close to getting the girl of his dreams … if she'll give in just once. One time is all he needs, and he's never been known to fail, but he's also never had to fight for a woman's affections. Only one man will win their way into Kate's heart, but which one will intercept the other and take what they want? Which one will she choose?

    

Book Blitz: Moccasin Trace By Hawk MacKinney @GHBTours





Moccasin Trace
By- Hawk MacKinney
Genre- Historical Romance
Published By- ArcheBooks Publishing
Publication Date- March 2014

… it was about the land…a tale of love and loss and hope…
Hamilton Ingram looked out across the fertile Georgia bottomlands that were Moccasin Hollows, seeing holdings it had taken generations of Ingrams to build.  No drop of slave sweat ever shed in its creation.  It was about the land…his trust, his duty to preserve it for the generation of Ingrams to come…
It is July of 1859, a month of sweltering dog days and feverish emotional bombast.  Life is good for widower Rundell Ingram and his Hazel-eyed, roan-haired son, Hamilton.  Between the two of them, they take care of Moccasin Hollows, their rustic dogtrot ancestral home, a sprawling non-slave plantation in the rolling farming country outside Queensborough Towne in east Georgia.  Adjoining Ingram lands is Wisteria Bend, the vast slave-holding plantation of Andrew and Corinthia Greer, their daughter Sarah, and son Benjamin.
Both families share generations of long-accepted traditions, and childhood playmates are no longer children.  The rangy, even-tempered Norman-Scottish young Hamilton is smitten with Sarah, who has become an enticing capricious beauty-the young lovers more in love with each passing day, and only pleasant times ahead of them.
But a blood tide of war is sweeping across the South, a tide that might be impossible to stand before.
