What do you do when your luck runs out?

Targeted twice, Emma has done her best to move on with her life. Things are looking up, and the family is headed overseas to take part in a fairy-tale celebration. It doesn’t take long for Emma to realize that evil knows no boundaries. The past is running to catch up with her in a way that she could have never imagined. The darkness wants to overtake her, even across the ocean.

My thoughts about 'Til Death Do Us Part ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"Pacing back and forth in his tiny prison cell, Xavier Smith resembled a caged tiger"

Whew! What an intense ending to an exciting, edge-of-your-seat trilogy. Just like Emma, I thought the past was behind her, the terror she lived though over and done with. As the family heads to Ireland, little so they know that their lives are about to change.  

I loved getting to know Emma and her family. Those girls of hers are precious little angels and the love that she and Liam share is beautiful and forever. But when the past once again rears it's ugly head, everyone's lives are shattered. 

'Til Death Do Us Part, although intense to the end, was the perfect ending to this series. I loved every minute of it and can't wait to read more of Heidi's stories. 

I received a copy of 'Til Death Do Us Part for the Enticing Journey Book Promotion tour and this is my honest opinion of the book.


Read my thoughts about books #1 and #2 here and here.








“So, it sounds like the nightmares are becoming less frequent, is that right, Emma?” Dr. Oslo, Emma’s therapist, inquired. 
“Yes, I guess that’s true. When I first came to see you, I was having vivid dreams every night. Now I only have them once a week or so. I guess that means I’m cured, right?” Emma smiled. 
“Let’s not rush things. You know, Emma, most people never come close to experiencing the trauma you’ve endured,” Dr. Oslo began.
“True, but a lot of people have bad things happen to them,” Emma argued.
“Maybe you don’t understand the scope of what has happened to you, Emma. Your husband, Jacob, was a jewel thief who was having an affair with your neighbor, Veronica. He’d been running from the authorities for years before Liam caught him. Veronica’s husband, Xavier, the man who is obsessed with you, sits in prison for trying to abduct you. Then his mentally disturbed girlfriend, Morgan tried to kill you. Jacob died in a plane crash, leaving you alone and pregnant with no money to take care of your children. Then your parents died. A year in therapy isn’t going to make it all go away. It’s not like waving a magic wand.”
Dr. Oslo, a kind woman in her mid-sixties, peered at Emma over the rims of her square glasses.  The list of horrible events was painful to revisit, but Dr. Oslo has always been very honest.
“I know. I get it; really, I do. But I told you from the beginning that therapy isn’t my thing.” 

Emma was determined to avoid the business of dredging up her past. She shook her head and tried not to meet the doctor’s eyes, which was difficult since they were seated in overstuffed armchairs facing one another. It actually surprised Emma, even after coming twice a week for an entire year, that she'd had the courage to follow through with therapy.  Confronting her feelings made her uncomfortable. She preferred to ignore them and hope they would go away.

The Weird Sisters

The Weird Sisters 
by Eleanor Brown

Paperback, 320 pages
Published January 20th 2011 by Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam 

There is no problem that a library card can't solve.

The Andreas family is one of readers. Their father, a renowned Shakespeare professor who speaks almost entirely in verse, has named his three daughters after famous Shakespearean women. When the sisters return to their childhood home, ostensibly to care for their ailing mother, but really to lick their wounds and bury their secrets, they are horrified to find the others there.

See, we love each other. We just don't happen to like each other very much.

But the sisters soon discover that everything they've been running from -- one another, their small hometown, and themselves -- might offer more than they ever expected.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone.

When this goes live on Monday, we will just be starting our week long vacation in the Black Hills. We live in eastern South Dakota and love to go to the west side of the state whenever we get the chance. We love it out there. I'm hoping to get a lot of reading time in (my Kindle is loaded up!) while hubby fishes. It should be relaxing and it's so beautiful out there.

Release Day! Love in Charge by Jules Dixon, Laura Chapman, and Michelle Morgan #LoveInCharge

Love in Charge: Powerful Women, Powerful Love by [Dixon, Jules, Chapman, Laura, Morgan, Michelle]

Love in Charge: Powerful Women, Powerful Love by Jules Dixon, Laura Chapman, and Michelle Morgan
Release Date: September 1, 2019
Available Formats: eBook and paperback on Amazon
Purchase from Amazon for only $3.99

When this woman steps into a room, heads turn and people listen. Whether she's commanding a new business venture, coaching a collegiate football team, or diagnosing and healing people, she's focused, influential, and passionate, and she's not about to apologize for it.

But there is loneliness and fear she can't ignore, and questions soon follow. Is a second chance meant to be, when the first was a disaster? Is her distrust of all men warranted when only one has truly ever hurt her? Can she set aside an age difference to find love?

Most of all...when a man who is everything she's never realized she wanted is right in front of her, will she be ready for the biggest undertaking of her life?

Lose yourself in these three novellas of powerful women learning that sometimes love is the one in charge.

All earnings from this anthology will be donated to the GLSEN Omaha chapter. GLSEN Omaha's mission is to "ensure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression."

About the stories

Go for Love
by Laura Chapman

When a glitch threatens Sarah Burton’s start-up launch, only one person can help. Beck Spencer swore he’d never give her another chance to break his heart, but he can’t say no to this offer. Despite keeping it professional, the spark between them might reignite hotter than ever.

Her Playbook
by Jules Dixon

Head football coach Hazel Stone’s childhood showed her she’d never trust another man. Payne Maxwell’s scarred face isn’t his deepest wound. Their attraction is a touchdown, but when Hazel finds a discrepancy in the department’s finances with Payne’s name attached, not to mention that he’s the ex-head coach’s son, foul flags fly in her head. When it comes to love, what play will be the right one?

No Turning Back
by Michelle Morgan

36-year-old chiropractor Cara Mann was doing just fine running her own practice and raising her young daughter—alone. When she hires Jack Dennis—the nerdy kid she used to babysit—for computer help in her office, he’s nothing like she remembers. But he certainly hasn’t forgotten her. Even if Cara can accept the help and support Jack is eager to offer, can she learn to love a much younger man?
