Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel
Witch Mystery: Beth by S. H. Marpel Living Sensical
Fighting off a rampaging troll in the woods just to rescue her milk cow wasn't the first thing on her list today.
Neither was finding a male wood nymph who needed her help.
What didn't help was his attitude of being "Nature's gift to women", but his broken leg meant he was going to perish out there when the next troll came along.
Come to think of it, maybe that troll was after him, and not her Bessie-cow?
Regardless, she just couldn't leave him out there. And in spite of his attitude, he was kind of cute, pointy ears and all.
If only she didn't have to now fend off her farm from other very real fairy-tale creatures, like goblins and witches, and of course, more trolls...
(Warning: contains cliffhanger...)

--
When Venick is caught wandering the elflands, he knows the penalty is death. Desperate, he lies about his identity in hopes the elves will spare his life.
Ellina doesn't trust the human, and not merely because he speaks the language of men. Men lie. In elvish, however, lying is impossible. In a moment of intuition, Ellina decides to give Venick a chance: learn elvish, reveal his truths, and she will set him free.
That is not, of course, what happens.

Sam is a beautiful, brilliant and very unique young woman. Not only does she have the privilege of being the youngest known Special Ops officer in the Corps, but an unfortunate accident during a dive in the Marinas Trench leaves her permanently amphibious! Her new found ocean freedom, combined with her unique ability with ocean mammals and an overtly defiant and somewhat reckless nature, wreaks havoc on her very loving, but very strict family. Desparate to keep her safe, the three resort to old-fashioned military discipline.
Love, laughter, duty and obedience frames Sam’s life and, despite a constant sore backside, she couldn’t be happier.

There's nothing like a love story, that pulls you along as if you are travelling that journey with the characters!
A tender love story of a woman who struggles to reconcile her own need for independent and personal fulfillment with the feelings for a new man in her life. He's strong, a protector but is that what she needs or wants as she establishes her own place in the world.
Breanna's work is sweet and sexy and full of naughty! When you read her work you feel the desire and want to be taken into the Daddy Dom's arms and scolded like the bad little that you are!
Wonderful cover :)

Tsar Wars: Agents of the Imperial Special Investigation Service, Book 1 Stephen Goldin
Welcome to the first great space opera decalogy of the 21st century! Agents of ISIS is the modern re-envisioning of the Family d'Alembert series by its original author, an epic saga describing the fight to preserve humanity from the forces of chaos and destruction.
With humanity scattered across the galaxy on hundreds of worlds, the Empire is the only force for order across the stars. Without it, interstellar conflicts would bring chaos and billions of deaths.
But the tsar's been in a coma for five years now, and the only apparent heir is his 14-year-old grandniece. In this hour of crisis, the task of preserving the Empire falls to two untrained agents of the Imperial Special Investigation Service. Can they make a difference against the vast forces arrayed against them?

Big screen material! This talented author brings the reader into a new world where adventure awaits at every turn. The descriptions are well though out, the characters pop off of the page. Don't miss this one!
Monticelli's original Italian has been translated to English for her Red Desert series, giving a charming flavor to the prose. Her characters are 3d, and her hard sci-fi setting is researched impeccably. Novella-length book one, "Point of no return," serves as an introduction, constructing the hooks that power future volumes and ramping up the tension and mystery.

Gray Tide in the East: An alternate history of the First World War Andrew Heller
August 1, 1914, Berlin: Kaiser Wilhelm II cancels the German invasion of Belgium over the objections of his generals, sending his armies East against Russia instead of West to France, and sets off a chain of events that will radically change the course of modern history.
Gray Tide in the East is the best-selling counterfactual history of the First World War, if the Germans had not invaded Belgium in 1914 and thereby brought Great Britain and, eventually, the United States into the war. The carefully researched story is told by a host of real historical figures both famous (William Jennings Bryan, Winston Churchill) and obscure (Albert Dawson, Joost van Vollenhoven) and spans the globe from Washington, D.C. to Hanoi, from bloody battlefields to the secret chambers of diplomats.

I've always loved the Oz books, so this one looks really interesting!
Quite interesting story ideas. And an interesting cover job.
Alternate histories are always fun. This one is no exception! This book introduces many fascinating ideas and presents a very believable alternate reality. Definitely worth the read!

I loved this story! It drew me in and hooked me. I stayed up late reading it. Astrid’s character while starting out thinking she’s a monster and unsure of her past, comes to love and appreciate herself. In her quest to save the survivors of her village, she learns the truth of her past, and must come to terms with it and make the choice of who she wants to be. She’s strong, courageous, and vulnerable—all the things a good heroine needs to be. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.
Strong characters and great story!

In an anarcho-capitalist future, space-based corporate settlements have replaced the State. Colonel John Alvarez, a fifteen-year veteran, is unwilling to waste more years leading missions into deep space. He wants to start over and make a new life with his wife and son.

I picked this up to write a blurb then couldn't put it down! Really good SF about a future where Statists and Corporations are at war. It has a detailed and interesting outer space setting, an original take on warp speed and likeable characters. Great stuff.
Cool title, cool cover!
A terrifying sci-fi tromp through an uncomfortably possible reality.
Great descriptions and an unexpected ending.
Sounds so good! Can’t wait to read this one!
I love this theme!!! What could be better than a space-based anarcho-capitalist future! Giddy up!

Rebellion brews as nations struggle for power. Survival is pitted against compassion, duty against faith, and loyalties against love.

Julia is stuck within its walls. She serves the nobility from a distance until she meets Lucas, who believes in fairytales that her world can’t accommodate.

"Eric John Stark!" he called, and the dark man tensed in the shadows.The rider stopped. He spoke again, but this time in a different tongue. It was no dialect of Earth, Mars or Venus, but a strange speech, as harsh and vital as the blazing Mercurian valleys...

Shambleau by C. L. Moore
Shambleau by C. L. Moore Midwest Classics Press
HAD Northwest Smith, the famous outlaw of the spaceways, been able to foresee the future, he would not have shielded the frightened, scarlet-clad girl from the wild mob pursuing her through the narrow streets of Lakkdarol, Earth's last colony on Mars. "Shambleau! Shambleau!" the crowd cried with loathing and disgust, but Smith drove them off with his blaster and took the exhausted girl to his quarters. There was no hair upon her face — neither brows nor lashes; but what lay hidden beneath the tight scarlet turban bound around her head?
So begins one of the strangest, and possibly the most famous, of stories by C. L. Moore. When it first appeared "Shambleau" was acclaimed by readers, authors, and editors as the debut of a truly gifted talent...

A Sweet Fortune by R. L. Saunders
A Sweet Fortune by R. L. Saunders Midwest Free Press
A Simple Job: Make a Delivery and Get Paid a Fortune - Or Die.
What he was driving was an up-armored trailer rig. And was getting paid a fortune to deliver something to a fortified city.
To someone who had a fortune to spend on it - if he only survived long enought to cash in.
The boxes were unmarked and had to stay sealed.
But when he arrived at the delivery location, there was no building there. Just someone jamming all the frequencies except the one that showed bombs going off...
Dark humor. True love. An instant family. And a city gone psychotic.

Becoming Michelle by R. L. Saunders and C. C. Brower Midwest Free Press
The third time she was beaten up by a different roving city gang and this time left for dead. The guy who saved her life wanted to help solve how she ended up that way.
What wasn't working was to be anything they wanted. White, Black, Male, Female, Gay, Straight - someone was always offended, no matter what.
And now she had no choice. They had taken all she had, even her job, apartment and everything else she owned. Even her identity. Now she was a no-one.
It was only when she met a heavy-set, happy fellow who everyone liked that she got a clue what she must do to survive in these modern "tolerant" times. Whatever his secret was, she had to solve herself.
Otherwise, she didn't have long to live - without becoming one of the gangs who had left her like this...

Our Second Civil War
Our Second Civil War Midwest Free Press
Our Second Civil War was over in minutes - while the conflict took decades. As in all wars, both sides lost heavily and then proclaimed victory.
I knew this all too well, serving as a paramedic to patch up their wounded and dying.
I'd gotten myself into 'Cagga to solve my nightmares. After I'd sworn off coming back into the cities where the only real violence happened.
She was in my dreams every night, and turned them into the same hell on earth she was experiencing.
Because she only wanted to be rescued from a fate and destiny she could not control. In the old days, it was called human trafficking, but in our time it was called normal.
Just because she was pretty, single, and defenseless.
