 "Where was he?—not killed!—not killed!" cried Ahab, closely advancing. "How was it?" It seemed that somewhat late on the afternoon of the day previous, while three of the stranger's boats were engaged with a shoal of whales, which had led them some four or five miles from the ship; and while they were yet in swift chase to windward, the white hump and head of Moby Dick had suddenly loomed up out of the water, not very far to leeward; whereupon, the fourth rigged boat—a reserved one—had been instantly lowered in chase. After a keen sail before the wind, this fourth boat—the swiftest keeled of all—seemed to have succeeded in fastening—at least, as well as the man at the mast-head could tell anything about it.

The story told, the stranger Captain immediately went on to reveal his object in boarding the Pequod. He desired that ship to unite with his own in the search; by sailing over the sea some four or five miles apart, on parallel lines, and so sweeping a double horizon, as it were.

My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

Black Moon Draw
Black Moon Draw
Goodreads rating: 4.17 (132 ratings)

BLURB:
A reader gets sucked into the book she’s reading and is trapped, unless she convinces the hero of the story to send her home. Just her luck - the book is unfinished, and its sexy hero is far more alpha male than she’s prepared to handle. 

What Naia doesn’t know: the story – and its hero – have been expecting her for quite some time, even though she has no idea what she’s doing there. 

Naia must learn quickly how to navigate the dangerous, magical world of Black Moon Draw and find a way to complete her journey with the unlikely, uncooperative hero of the story, who holds the key to returning her home.

REVIEW:

Holy Moly! I’m writing my review just as I finished that last sentence and I’m still stuck in the awesome and magical world of Black Moon Draw. I cannot believe how this book started nor how it ended, so freaking fantastic! I can’t remember being so excited after finishing a book.

Black Moon Draw follows Naia who has just had the worst day ever, her fiancĂ© has broken up with her a week before her wedding. She is distraught, but her love for literature and being a librarian seems to have consumed her so much that her fiancĂ© thought she would rather live in a fantasy than with him. Thus that very night, Naia gets her wish, while reading an unfinished book online; she gets sucked into a world of danger, magic, warrior beast and a place that reminds her of all her favorite fantasy stories. But she doesn’t know if she’s dreaming… or if or how she’ll ever get home again.

Naia to me was a total spaz, she cracked me up with her outrageous reactions to everything that was happening to her. In all seriousness I wouldn’t know how I would react either getting sucked inside a book your reading, but she just makes a mess of things right from the start. I loved how the author brought so many of my favorite movie and book references to this story as well as making Naia very aware of the connections, such as Lord of the Rings, the Labyrinth, The Never Ending Story etc. It was seriously so much fun to step in a world of so much fantasy and still make such an original story with a young woman who is at a loss on what to do or how to help herself get home. Naia from the beginning wants to get home, not realizing that maybe she really is here for a reason and in the end her sole purpose is to open her mind and heart on why she was brought there. She did frustrate me a bit a times and I’m glad she got some sense in her at some point to see her purpose.

The Shadow King… Holy mother of yummy dangerous men! I loved this man, every muscles, smirk and crazy battle-fighting demeanor, he was awesome! At the beginning I was a little taken back, not sure if this was going to be a beauty and the beast like story because well... he was wearing a boars head. Thank goodness for fantasy and the cleverness of the author, having the men wear animal heads like helmets to make them seems scary and well it totally works! There is so much more back-story with The Shadow King, his family is cursed and Naia is brought to his world for a very specific reason. Both of them are drawn together to stop a war and to help him reclaim his rightful place. But there are many people who wish to see this not happen and with Naia being more clumsy than powerful it’s a humors and dangerous journey for both of them. Their chemistry from beginning to end is off the hook! I don’t blame the girl for acting like a total fool half the time when she around him, cause there is no doubt I would too!

Overall this was such a fantastic story, it brought me out of my slump with paranormal books and I even stayed up late on a work night to finish, because I could not put this book down for one minute. It was so darn good! There are so many small clever details that will have any book lover smiling and nodding their heads. This book was written for book lovers and fantasy lovers who have dreamed about living inside one of their favorite stories. I look forward to more from Lizzy Ford and have no doubt I’ll be re-reading this book because its one book that I loved getting lost in.

{Release Day} for True Blue by Jules Barnard


True Blue by Jules Barnard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

GENRE: New Adult
THEME: Romance, Contemporary
RECEIVED: Tour

BLURB:
Mira Frasier has worked hard to pull herself out of the darkness of her Tahoe reservation childhood, but rough beginnings shape a person in all the wrong ways. Mira gets mixed up with shady people while trying to bail out her destitute mother—and now Mira’s life is in danger.

Tyler Morgan grew up a star athlete and scholar, but a tragedy he hasn’t dealt with has him regrouping in his home town of South Lake Tahoe. The last person he expects to see is Mira, the girl he lost his virginity to in high school, and the only woman who ever took a piece of his heart. He’d rather live in a tent than do what his sister asks and stay with Mira while they figure out how to keep her safe from the men who attacked her.

To ensure Mira remains in his past where she belongs, Tyler agrees to look out for her temporarily until she’s safe enough to move out on her own. And if he has to push that process along by snooping around and figuring out what she’s hiding, he’ll do that too. Only, Mira is still beautiful, and she’s feisty as hell, and she has all his attention—just like she did six years before.

Mira is driving Tyler crazy, the tension between them off the charts while they’re trapped under the same roof. Something is going to crack. Will it be Mira’s last hold on a haunted life, or Tyler’s self-control around the one girl he’s never been able to get over?

REVIEW:

I’m a new fan to the Blue series; Jules Barnard writes an emotionally driven story with romance, heartbreak and family hardships. I enjoyed meeting the past couples from the previous two books and easily being able to know them without feeling lost. However I adored their chemistry as much as the couple in this book so I’ll definitely have to read book one and two.

True Blue follows Mira Fraiser who has always struggled with her mother not being there for her and choosing drugs and danger instead of her daughter. Luckily Mira was raised by her best friends loving parents, but she always felt she could find a way to earn her mothers love somehow. But years later Mira is in deep trouble with dangerous men all because of her mother and money, Mira now must lay low with the one boy whom she fell for in high school, Tyler. Together they slowly unravel their tragic pasts, mistakes and hopefully find a way to move on to their future.

Mira is a broken girl who cant seem to catch a break and has some bad luck whenever her mothers involved. Mira is a tough character, I had love hate battle for her because she was trying to get someone to love her (her mother) that clearly used her and didn’t care. Mira was truly loved by her bestie Lewis and his family, but she was stuck on a dream that her terrible mother would come to her sense. I felt so bad for Mira, I cant imagine the feeling of seeing your own mother fall so low. What I enjoyed most was that her best friend Lewis was her anchor, he supported her and protected her but he was also the voice of reason. She didn’t listen to him when he was clearly looking out for her but he was there not matter what…and that’s what counts. Mira’s connection to Tyler was such an emotion roller coaster, so much heartache, hope, tenderness and love, it was so much to take in but I enjoyed their journey.

Tyler had a better route in his upbringing as well has being popular and extremely smart throughout high school. Mira secretly admired and fell for him from afar, as Tyler also felt the same for Mira but neither decided to speak about it. Years pass and after their one and only night together their connection is strained but the chemistry is clearly still there. I loved Tyler because he was such a sweet guy who seriously kept making one mistake after the next when he dealt with Mira. He wanted to distance himself but his heart just couldn’t bear seeing her hurt nor being away from her.

Overall I was such a wreak reading this story because I just wanted something to go right for Mira and to shake the poor girl into reality. She was so loved by others but so blind. Tyler and Mira’s romance was steamy, tense and explosive, I couldn’t get enough of every scene they had together. The pace of this story was fast paced, starting with the past that leads up to the first encounter of the couple after so many years. I looked forward to reading the rest of the Blue series and more writing from the author.
