Back of the Book:

For years, Ian Sands has enjoyed his life as a bachelor, taking advantage of singlehood and exploring his own definition of passion—whoever she may be. Blonde. Brunette. Tall. Short. Hot. Not. Five months ago, all that changed. 

Ian’s been celibate, frustrated and desperately seeking answers to why one woman, who doesn’t play by girls’ rules, haunts his every waking moment.

As a renovations specialist, Taylor Marsh lives, works and breathes construction—a profession her southern belle of a mother would rather Taylor not touch. The same goes for Ian; Mama Marsh would never approve of him. 

Like Ian, though, each time he and Taylor draw near, something compels her to get closer.

Something else tells her to run away.

Fast.

As much as their histories suggest they shouldn’t be together, neither Taylor nor Ian can deny the pull, and the two succumb, indulging in a relationship that brings pleasure to body, mind and soul.

Doing so, though, also ushers in a series of events both should have foreseen as well as one final outcome neither expected.

Lichgates  Reviews 

“This would make a great movie. A great TV show. Great everything. I mean, Boyce sells it at the concept, but she doesn’t stop there. She delivers.” —Rebecca Hamilton, author of The Forever Girl series

“Boyce’s storytelling is so rich and deftly executed that I found myself bouncing between pure amazement, unadulterated enjoyment, and absolute, perverse envy. She is that good.” H—Tom Winship, author of the Vaempires series

“This is fantasy at its best!” —The Story Seekers Reviews

“The writing is flawless. The kingdoms and surrounding landscapes breathtaking. The Grimoire is a piece of imaginative genius that bedazzles from the moment Kara falls into the land of Ourea.” —Nikki Jefford, author of the Spellbound Trilogy

…and those are only a few reviews. Check out Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Goodreads to hear what has people grabbing copies and salivating for the sequel.

The Lichgates  Blurb 

The Grimoire turns its own pages and can answer any question asked of it...and Kara Magari is its next target.

Kara has no idea what she's getting herself into when she stumbles across the old book while hiking along a hidden trail. Once she opens it, she's thrown into Ourea: a beautiful world full of terrifying beings that all want the Grimoire's secrets. Everyone in this new world is trying to find her, but most just want to control the new-found power the Grimoire bestows upon her.

Braeden Drakonin grew up in Ourea, and all he’s ever known in life is lying. The Grimoire is his one chance at redemption, and it lands in his lap when Kara Magari comes into his life. He has one question to ask the book—one question that can fix everything in his broken world—and he’s not letting Kara out of his sight until he gets an answer.

Kara cannot escape her new life in Ourea. There’s no going back now.

The Lichgates  Prelude 

Boyce is going to provide the prelude free online for anyone who has already bought the previous version. Sign up for the VIP list to learn when she posts it!

#BookReview : Divergent (Divergent Trilogy #1)

YA Dystopian

by Veronica Roth

From Goodreads:

In a future Chicago, 16-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all.

My Review:

I honestly don't know where to start with this one. I'm definitely a fan. Big time. I saw so much hype about this book that I had to buy it. I dove in blindly, not having even read the blurb.

I couldn't help but compare it to the Hunger Games - dystopian, teenage female MC - but once I got further in, all comparison ended for me. Katniss & Tris are nothing alike. Their worlds are nothing alike. The romance involved is nothing alike.

Anyhoo ... onto the goodies.

Yummies:  Characters. I could go on & on, so I'll try to keep this short. They are without a doubt 100% fleshed out - believable & likeable. Heck, the 'bad' characters were so imaginable that I even enjoyed them & their involvement in the story. And how Ms. Roth made said bad ones force the others to grow ... well done!

The MC, Tris, is full of self doubt, yet she's persistent and stubborn as can be. For a 16-yr-old this is hugely mature IMO. Almost a 'yuckies', but having read her background and knowing the world she lives in, it too is surprisingly believable.

Pacing is perfect. Tension is palatable. Nothing felt forced. I could totally see this happening in our future.

Best of all? NO LOVE TRIANGLE. Can I get a 'hallelujah'???  *loud clapping in Ms. Roth's general direction*

Yuckies: Hrrrmmmmmm. So excited about this book that I can't think of any right now. Perhaps I'm simply blinded by the story itself. By the awesome characters. By Tris's determination and watching her change.

Recommend: What do you think??? A big old fat 'YES'. Couldn't put it down. You won't want to either.

Gunna go nab this one? I've heard the 2nd isn't as good, but I'm off to find out. I'll let you know my thoughts later (hopefully) this month!

Keywords: Paranormal Romance, Romance, Law Enforcement, Shape-shifter

Synopsis:

When the government needs a body double for a covert operation, they hire shape-shifter Charley Randall. For two centuries, she's played every part from foreign dignitary to office drone. The role she wants most, though, is one she's denied herself three times already.

FBI Agent Wyatt Moreland believes Charley's photographic memory is the key to his latest assignment. He's oblivious to the true extent of her abilities, but he can't deny the sense of déjà vu at their introduction.

Unlike Wyatt, Charley knows this isn't their first meeting.

It's their fourth.

The girl he vowed to love, sixteen years before, stands in front of him in her true form — one he'll never recognize.

With each reconnection, Charley loves him more though she realizes this is her last chance to explain. Only absolute truth can bring them happiness, but can Wyatt forgive her deceptions? Or will lies tear them apart forever?
