SEER OF THE WILDWOOD, Bonded Realms, Book One By Regan Allen

 



Released on September 9th, book one of the new series, BONDED REALMS, has hit the shelves! 

Marya Santelyn from the Merchant’s Guild has a dangerous ability. Some call it a blessing, but others want to take advantage of her. Tam Radene considers Marya his prize after he rescues her and discovers her unique and rare gift. She would be a powerful ally, but if he won her heart, he could rule his tribe. That is a powerful motivation; he is not the only one seeking her out. I enjoyed the completion, danger, and adventuresome suspense woven expertly into this story.

I love SEER OF THE WILDWOOD’s fantasy world. This hasn’t been my go-to genre, but I just couldn’t put the book down. I will definitely be reading more fantasy in the future, especially from this series. Well-written and detailed fantasy world, people, cultures, and creatures had me on page one. The 3-D characters liven up the pages to bring this story home. This is NOT a fluffy story, but it does seem to have a heartbeat of its own.
 
The Kindle copy is $.99 cents, but that low price lasts until September 15th before the price goes up.

I was given this story and this is my honest review concerning SEER OF THE WILDWOOD by Regan Allen.

LETHAL STANDOFF by Bestselling Author, DiAnn Mills



Fiction, romance, and suspense at its best! I expected an adventure but got more than I bargained for! Carrington Reed is a hostage negotiator. When 15 hostages are held by Will and Boyd Kendrix the unexpected happens, and the story takes off with these amazing characters that I want to know all about. Levi Ehrlich is an investigative reporter who covered some of Carrington's previous negotiations. He is a hero to look up to. He is talented, brave, and has to overcome challenges in his life, as does Carrington. 

This story is set in Texas, and I felt as though I was there. The characters are layered and interesting. The plot keeps rolling on and surprising me—such a satisfying read. 

LETHAL STANDOFF is well-written, fabulously researched, and painstakingly delivered onto the page. I always thought that the last novel that DiAnn shared was her best, but somehow, she delivered again, and my opinion upgraded to selecting LETHAL STANDOFF as DiAnn’s new best novel!

I loved the intricate way this story shares struggling families and a heroine and hero who shows a depth of caring for their welfare and risks all to serve and protect. The world needs more heroines and heroes like the ones I grew to care about as I read DiAnn’s novel. This is an author who knows the depth of human intentions, pain, motivations, and courage. I highly recommend LETHAL STANDOFF, and if you are like me—you will have a difficult time putting it down. You might want to schedule a pizza night!  ; )

DiAnn is a fabulous teacher, leader, writer, and friend. She weaves her genuine goodness and intelligence into stories that encourage, challenge, and deliver entertainment. This novel would be the perfect gift for a loved one. A grateful heart will always remember receiving a novel like LETHAL STANDOFF

I have one criticism . . . I want a second book with these characters because I already miss them!
