I feel oddly okay this morning for a person who had to help move three thousand pounds of concrete… TWICE! I am so grateful that my baby bassets were off from school and were able to help. It took us two days to demolish the outdoor kitchen, load the broken concrete into the back of the pickup, then unload it at the dumps. I told hubby he is no longer allowed to make anything with concrete again. NOT ONE THING. Seriously. I am getting too old for this stuff. On Sunday, when we finally got the backyard put back together and everything in it’s place, hubby sat back in the chair and looked up at the patio overhang. It’s a massive structure of wood and sheet metal. He wants to redo the whole thing. UGH! ERG OUCH OUCH OUCH! It was at that point that I asked for a piece of cake and a moment of peace.

The Daughter of The Ice (Legends of Elessia – Age of Rekindling Book 1)
by Luís Falcão de Magalhães
(121 Reviews)
FREE for a limited time
When the dead rise from their graves and ancient magic awakens in the frozen north, one knight’s quest will decide the fate of the lands of Elessia.
Eregar, an old war hero, longs for one final adventure — a chance to prove his worth one last time before age and time claim him. He may regret his wish.
When whispers of a dark sorceress rising in the east reach his ears, he leads a band of young mercenaries — each skilled in blade, stealth, and alchemy — into the heart of the Frozen Plains. There, the wind cuts deeper than swords, and blizzards rage eternal. Yet, these dangers pale in comparison to the nightmare awaiting them.
The sorceress has raised an army of undead, and her sights are set on an ancient artifact of unimaginable power — one that, unbeknownst to Eregar, one of his allies now holds.
As the sorceress’s minions close in and betrayal looms, Eregar must confront not only the horrors of the Frozen Plains but also the shadows of his own past.
For the Daughter of The Ice will stop at nothing to reclaim what is hers, and Eregar’s company may be the only thing standing between her and the destruction of all he holds dear.
A tale of heroism, sacrifice, and forgotten magic, Legends of Elessia follows the tradition of David Gemmell, The Witcher, and Dragonlance, hailing a return to classic heroic fantasy. With the launch of Book 5, the Legends of Elessia: Age of Rekidling series is now complete.

by Ali Parker
(641 Reviews)
FREE for a limited time
I should have known I’d run into him eventually. But at our friend’s wedding with nowhere to hide? Ugh. I wish he didn’t look so good in a suit. Or board shorts. And come on. Nobody looks good in board shorts. But he does. Double ugh. And triple trouble. We had our shot when we were young and in love, and what did he do? He chose my ex best friend instead. The kicker? She’s at the wedding too, and like always, she has ulterior motives. He’s also a single dad. Guess who his baby momma is? You got it. The ex best friend. After all that you’d think I’d know when to turn tail and run the other direction. Except he’s not the boy he used to be. And I’m not the same girl, either. If I let him back in, I might get hurt. If I don’t, I might regret it forever. I already know what everyone is going to think. Him again?

After two years of fighting in the Civil War, partners Wade Barrett and Pete Bedlow travel back to Texas to become ranchers. Their peaceful life will be disrupted though when a fellow rancher presents them with an incredibly risky proposal; to make a long and hazardous trail drive to Mexico to sell cattle to the French army. This job could either make them rich or put them in the ground due to the grave dangers lurking around every corner.
A trial that will bring out the best and worst in men…
To everyone’s surprise, Jenny Capri, a female rancher who has taken over her father’s ranch after his death, decides to join the men on the long and rough trail. As the drive goes deeper into Mexico, Wade will find Jenna to be a truly admirable and attractive woman. On the flip side, Wade knows that the odds to survive this undertaking, let alone dreaming of a life by Jenny’s side, are low.
Sometimes pulling the trigger is the only choice that they have…
Death and violence will be riding the Mexican trail, with greed being also added into the mix. When the fearless team thinks that everything is under control, only one wrong move can turn everything upside down. Will the daring trio beat the odds and return to Texas alive, or will they never manage to step foot on home soil again?
