A little about the books –

Gaslight: A Golden Light Anthology~
From the very first story by award winning author J.S. Dunn, to the last story in the anthology, readers will be swept away to various time periods with an array of characters – from ancient seafaring towns to the Ottoman Empire and everywhere in between. You’ll find stories about World War I, The Civil War, and even a fantastic steampunk story – all wrapped up in Gaslight: A Golden Light Anthology.
Gaslight is an eclectic array of historical short stories that includes historical, historical romance, historical fantasy, and so much more!
I have to add that the authors contributing to this anthology are without a doubt some of the best writers of historical fiction out there. Yes, I may be biased, but I believe it’s true. I think you’ll agree, though, and once you read their stories in Gaslight I’d like to encourage you to check out their other books. You won’t be disappointed.

Limelight: A Golden Light Anthology features tales of new worlds and old worlds and worlds yet to be. These stories twist and turn with adventure, intrigue, and wonder. This anthology of short stories brings science fiction and fantasy out of the shadows and into the limelight.

Authors Edward W. Robertson, John Grover, James S. Dorr, Ela Lond, Sergio Palumbo, Larissa Hinton, Jessica B. Zeidler, Katy Huth Jones, Alexandra Baker, Catriel Ceballos, Domyelle Rhyse, and Bill Blume spin tales of old and new, of fantasy or alternate realities. These stories wrap around the future, the unknown, and the fantastic. You may be surprised at where they’ll lead…

Take my hand and step into the light with Limelight: A Golden Light Anthology.

Spotlight: A Golden Light Anthology features young adult stories of hope. Themes of rejection and forgiveness, of loss and triumph, of loneliness and friendships, of struggles and determination, of betrayal and overcoming, lace each story.

Authors Deborah Prum, Sarah Meira Rosenberg, T.K. Richardson, Alexandra Singer, Tucker Cummings, Lynda Lee Schab, Jason Hinz, Carmen Tudor, and Lisa Marie Lopez offer stories grounded in reality or sprinkled with fantasy, but feature main characters that face real issues – issues that are often hidden in the darkness.

Step out of the shadows and into the light with Spotlight: A Golden Light Anthology.

  

Nightlight: A Golden Light Anthology 
Do you remember those nights when you switched on your nightlight or flashlight and read books under the covers?

How about those memories of your mom, dad, or grandma reading your favorite story over and over again?

Yes, the sweet events of childhood that stay with us forever…

Nightlight: A Golden Light Anthology wishes to create these memories for the children of today. Filled with colorful images and stories that are both exciting and sweet, this anthology of children’s bedtime stories is sure to leave a lasting impression. 

Stories of fairies and wizards, of summer camp and family vacations, and stories of family and friends fill this children’s book. Imagine spending that extra few minutes reading to your child right before they drift off to sleep. Or letting them read Nightlight themselves while you listen to them.

The memories you share together will last a lifetime, encourage literacy, a love of reading, and most importantly you’ll set aside that special time at the end of the day – when work and play are done – to just be together.

That’s how I envision children reading Nightlight and that was the intention compiling this children’s anthology. The stories, and the authors contributing to this ebook, are hands down some of the very best.

I hope you’ll get a copy, switch on the nightlight, and read it with your child.

Lamplight: A Golden Light Anthology is filled with stories and poems of faith. From the very first selection by author Seth D. Clarke to the final poem titled Benediction by David Andrews, this Christian anthology reaches in and touches the heart, inspires faith, and is filled with hope.

  We live in a tumultuous world. The evening news is filled with more bad than good. War, hunger, and loss seem to be the headlines and sometimes (or daily) we need that little bit of something that is good, that sees the darkness around us and shines a heavenly light on life.

And that’s exactly what Lamplight does – it shines a light of faith and hope. The stories and poems in this anthology are real, are touching, are beautifully written, and fill that darkness with a ray of sunshine. They’re not fluffy or preachy, but rather these stories and poems are uplifting.

The scripture that really inspired this anthology – “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path.”

Measuring Up
Author: Nyrae Dawn
Source: Personal Purchase
Genre: Young Adult
ISBN: 9781479313235

SUMMARY
(From Goodreads)

Seventeen-year-old Annabel Conway is tired of the Hillcrest High School elite making her life miserable because she’s not a size two. This summer, she’s hiring a personal trainer to help her lose weight. 

Annabel doesn’t expect her trainer to be a gorgeous guy around her age. Boys like Tegan are jerks. They pretend to like girls like her so they can make an idiot out of them. Been there, done that. Totally not going there again. She kind of hates him on principal. Blond. Muscular. Funny. It doesn’t help that he knows her measurements!

Soon, Tegan’s so much more than that. He’s the boy who teaches her to box when she has a bad day. Who jogs with her and lets her set the pace. Who kisses her until she melts. He makes her feel beautiful regardless of what the scale says. Unlike her mom, he doesn’t expect perfection, and he doesn’t try to shield her from the world like her dad and best friend. Tegan likes her the way she is.

But what happens when he’s not there? He can’t always be there… 

Will Annabel be able to stand on her own and learn that she already measures up? That her worth doesn’t lie in what the world thinks, the scale says, or even what Tegan tells her—but in herself?

MY THOUGHTS

After finishing up a previous book by this author and having a few problems with her writing, I decided to give it another chance and try something again.  The last book had a better second half of the story, but this one had a better first half.

While I enjoyed reading about a character who is struggling with being overweight, I felt the author tended to focus on it a little too much.  It seemed like every page the reader was having to hear the character of Annabel complain about her weight.  I know the main part of this story is in dealing with weight and finding love in a skinny world, but it did get to the point of too much.

Again, there was inconsistency in the story as well.  It flowed in parts, but other parts were choppy.  If an author is going to include texting as well as dialogue, the author needs to know how to make that defined and not have the reader trying to guess what is text and what is speech. That is something that really irked me about this book because I had to reread it several times to grasp what was what.

I also was not a huge fan of Tegan.  His issues seem valid, but not enough to become believable in the extreme of why he does what he does near the end.

This book is full of cliche teen angst and drama, but it still wasn’t a bad read.  I have come to the conclusion that this author is just going to be another okay author in my reading tastes.  While this is not a bad thing, it isn’t a great factor as a returning reader of the future works by her.  Younger readers will more than likely enjoy this more than older adults.

MY RATING

Okay book, but it left me wanting more!

Charade
Series: The Game Series #1
Author: Nyrae Dawn
Genre: Romance/New Adult
ISBN: B009V5VG3A
Amazon Kindle E- Book Edition

SUMMARY
(From Goodreads)

Nineteen-year-old Cheyenne tries to portray the perfect life to mask the memories of her past. Walking in on her boyfriend with another woman her freshman year in college threatens that picture of perfection. 

Twenty-one-year-old Colt never wanted college and never expected to amount to anything, but when his mom’s dying wish is for him to get his degree, he has no choice but to pretend it’s what he wants too. 

Cheyenne needs a fake boyfriend to get back at her ex and Colt needs cash to take care of his mom, so they strike a deal that helps them both. But what if Cheyenne’s past isn’t what she thought? Soon they’re trading one charade for another—losing themselves in each other to forget about their pain. The more they play their game, the more it becomes the only thing they have that feels real.

Both Cheyenne and Colt know life is never easy, but neither of them expect the tragedy that threatens to end their charade and rip them apart forever.

Mature content: language, drug references and sexual situations.

MY THOUGHTS

As I slowly watched this book climbing the Amazon Seller’s list, I decided to cave and give it a try.  I am a sucker for a fast moving book.  I figure if it is moving that fast, it must be a winner right?  I admit, I liked the book.  There were a few problems with it, but I still enjoyed it overall.

I think the main problem I had with this book was the choppy beginning.  The way it flowed and stilted at times, it made me think I was reading a short story — or a novella.  I thought it moved quickly, the story would jump around and expected to have it end quickly.  This wouldn’t be so bad if it were actually a novella  and I was expecting it.  With Charade though, it is a full length book and it definitely needs to have that worked out.

Once you get past the first half of this book though, it evens out and I found myself enjoying it.  While Colt is suppose to be this bad boy, I never could see him as that.  Yes he cusses a bunch, but cuss words do not make a bad boy.  He is actually sweet, caring and smart.  Cheyenne was not a favorite character of mine.  She came across weak and whiny, something I don’t think the author really wanted her portrayed as by the end of the book.  Colt was the character that carried this story until the end.

The side characters were predictable and fell into the roles they were meant to.  We have Andy, who is Cheyennes dorm mate who just happens to be a best friend when pages need to be filled.  We have Adrian who is suppose to Colts druggie best friend, but actually has times of deep thought processes when a great listener is needed.

This book will also pull on your heart strings as a character is suffering from cancer.  You hope for a good outcome, but sometimes life doesn’t give you that.  So tissues are recommended for those parts.

Overall, a good book that I am glad I read.  I hope the author can create a better beginning though for the next book in this series so a reader is not tempted to put it down before getting to the good parts!
