#BookReview of Lost Arrow: 3-Book Edition (The Kalelah Series 4) by Marshall Ross

About the Book: 

Get the whole heart-pounding saga at once and save.
Binge readers rejoice. Here’s the whole twisted story in one volume.

Seven miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, in the deepest place on Earth, beneath centuries of silt and sand, lay the answer to humanity’s oldest question. And when a young geologist, Sarah Long, exposes the truth, hell comes to the surface with it.

Not only do we have company in the universe, we are not who we think we are.

The shocking news ignites a confrontation between two very human civilizations. One alien and one Earth-bound, both forced to come to grips with a future neither had ever imagined. And when Sarah meets Trin, her world is turned even harder on its head.

Worse, it may no longer even be her world.

Joey Berlin, Executive Producer of The Critics’ Choice Awards says, “Wickedly Original. Lost Arrow hits the sci-fi bullseye. I can’t wait to see the movie.”
All the ideas about who we are and where we come from get twisted in this colonization story crafted with all the intrigue and layers of a nail-biting thriller. If you love Michael Crichton and Dan Brown, you’ll love this fast-reading series.

Sometimes life rears its ugly head and messes up your world.
I know too well. It happened to me five years ago when I lost my fiancé.
It took me awhile to get back on my feet, but I finally got my life in order.
Don’t commit. Don’t get attached. Guard your heart.
Seemed plausible…until a tall, dark and gorgeous man commands my attention.
He is the worst kind of temptation.
Funny, charming, and did I mention hot?
Every woman’s fantasy.
A professional baseball player.
Suit up heart because I have no desire to become one of his stats.
John
Sometimes life drops a little miracle right in front of you.
In the form of a beautiful goddess.
Who’s also intelligent.
Snarky.
Oh, and doesn’t fall for my bullshit.
In fact, I don’t even think she likes me.
That’s okay.
I’m an athlete, and I’m used to challenges.
You don’t make it as far as I have in my sport without having goals in mind.
I’ll pursue her like I’m pursuing the MVP award this season.
And, I will conquer.

But for us its still time to hit the beaches and drink something cold. This week were sharing a picture from @Chaptersofmar So make sure to check out their account!

About the Book: 

A new novel in the New York Times–bestselling Remnant Chronicles universe, in which a reformed thief and the young leader of an outlaw dynasty lock wits in a battle that may cost them their lives—and their hearts.

When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son, Jase, becomes its new leader. Even nearby kingdoms bow to the strength of this outlaw family, who have always governed by their own rules. But a new era looms on the horizon, set in motion by a young queen, which makes her the target of the dynasty's resentment and anger.

At the same time, Kazi, a legendary former street thief, is sent by the queen to investigate transgressions against the new settlements. When Kazi arrives in the forbidding land of the Ballengers, she learns that there is more to Jase than she thought. As unexpected events spiral out of their control, bringing them intimately together, they continue to play a cat and mouse game of false moves and motives in order to fulfill their own secret missions.

With her sassy humor and sexy cowboys, USA Today bestseller Carolyn Brown launches her new Longhorn Canyon series.

One city girl, one die-hard rancher, and eight mischievous kids. What could go wrong?

Every summer Cade Maguire looks forward to opening his Longhorn Canyon Ranch to underprivileged city kids. But this year, he's having no luck finding a counselor for the children-until Retta Palmer walks through his door. 
Flat broke after selling everything she owns to pay her father's medical bills, Retta is thrilled to hear of an opening for a counselor position. She's not as thrilled about the ranching part, or the sexy cowboy with beautiful blue eyes who's her new boss. 
After being left at the altar two years before by his fiancée, Cade isn't sure he can take another heartbreak. And Retta isn't even sure she wants to stay. But the sparks between them are absolutely undeniable. And with a couple of lovable kids and two elderly folks playing matchmaker, Cade and Retta may find that the best way to heal is with each other.
