Just Shy of Paradise by Carole Thayne Warburton

Carole Thayne Warburton writes an interesting story using a refreshingly unusual protagonist. Lily Anderson is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty - that's about all that is normal about her. She's painfully shy, prone to horrendous anxiety attacks, wide in the hips, addicted to ice cream, and overcoming an addiction to alcohol. She also loves fishing, and hopes one day to be in a romantic relationship. She meets Sky Brown, a Native American Shoshone, who is accused of stealing her grandfather's fishing pole worth a few thousand dollars. Throughout this tale, Carol weaves in bits of fascinating Shoshone history in a way that broadens the reader's perspective and understanding of the wrongs inflicted upon the Northwestern Shoshone. As the reader, we relate to Lily while hoping that she can rise above her fears and see the true beauty that has miraculously come into her life.

The Alias by Mandi Tucker Slack

Mandi Tucker Slack's The Alias, is a well-written, on-the-edge-of-your-seat suspense with just the right amount of romantic appeal. It is one of those novels you hate to be torn away from, and then must hurry back to read once the interruption has passed.

Jacey Grayson assumed that her life would be pretty close to perfect - she fell in love with and married John Trent, a handsome man who doted over her at first, buying her beautiful jewelry, fine clothes, and an expensive home. But it wasn't long into their marriage before she discovered his abusive nature. She stuck it our for eight agonizing years, but when it got to a dangerous point, she divorced him and fled with their son, Blaze.

But when the FBI catches up to her and discloses even more disturbing information about John, Jacey realizes that if the FBI can find her, then so can her ex-husband. To protect herself and Blaze, her best friend comes up with a plan that'll hide their true identities, hopefully long enough to start a new life far away in a small, Mormon, farming community in Utah.

It tears Jacey apart to be dishonest to the family that takes her and Blaze in and treats them like their own, but she must continue to live the lie to protect her and Blaze from her angry, abusive ex-husband and the secret life he leads.

Mandi Slack has masterfully created each one of her character's personalities and has woven an intriguing story full of suspense. She has captured John Trent's character in such a way, that as a reader, you too will fear him, and you'll be rooting for Jacey, hoping that she can stay one step ahead.

Mandi Tucker Slack's The Alias is a 'must read' and a novel that will keep you captivated to the very end!

Author of Oh, Say Can You See? the fourth book in the Free Men and Dreamers Series, L.C.Lewis is an excellent author who wears her passion for the United States of America on her sleeve, in her heart, and penned in her incredible works. Her novels are thoroughly researched and give the reader a true sense of what life must have been like at the beginning of our great nation, as she masterfully weaves her characters in with historical people and events. Laurie describes her works: Dark Sky at Dawn, book one of Free Men and Dreamers, introduces the troubled characters--American, British and slave--whose lives are caught up in this complex period. Europe was in tumult over Napoleon, and America was a hotbed of social and political divisiveness. Nearly bankrupt, the American military was under-manned and under-funded, requiring citizen-soldiers to leave their plows and hearths to fight. They marched off, filled with bravado and ballyhoo, but the British threat soon humbled them, nearly breaking their spirit. Twilight's Last Gleaming, book two of the series, carries our characters into the early days of the war, highlighting the sacrifice and courage of the women as well as the men. In Dawn's Early Light, the British war machine heads for Washington, terrorizing families along the Patuxent and Potomac rivers, leaving the citizenry and their leaders fearful that their government, their Constitution, and their very way of life is endangered. Volume four, Oh, Say Can You See? details the poignant events surrounding the Battle of Baltimore, the writing of the “Star-Spangled Banner” story and the end of the war. Volume five, “In God Is Our Trust” will carry us beyond the war, illustrating the America molded by the War of 1812. We are anticipating a summer 2011 release. The Free Men and Dreamers series should be one everyone's reading list, not only for enjoyable reading, but for an awakening of gratitude for our founding father's and their profound contributions to our nation. I highly recommend this thought-provoking series as a supplement to American History classes nation-wide.
