In this book Dr. Goldenthal presents the oldest years as a stage of life with special challenges and opportunities. This time of life is the culmination of many previous life stages when we have been confronted with important issues and choices. As an elderly person herself, Dr. Goldenthal discusses the concerns people are likely to have in the oldest years. She focuses on dealing as wisely as we can with these concerns and to accept what we cannot change. When we have done this to the best of our ability, we are then free to consider what gives us pleasure and what we value most in our lives.

Once upon a time, I looked at love through rose-tinted glasses because love is meant to conquer all, right?

However, was I just a hopeless romantic at heart, chasing the proverbial happily ever after?

Being a romance author, one may think I know what I’m doing when it comes to love. But I hate to spoil the ending for you, dear reader; love and me, we aren’t friends. And we haven’t been for quite some time.

That’s not because I don’t believe in love.

On the contrary.

And that’s the reason we are here…again.

We all have that one person.

For me, he caught me unaware, and that’s when life usually screams KEEP UP!

And most times, we can’t.

If you’ve read Love Hard, then you know how love and I were no longer on speaking terms. But I wrote something which was a sign from the heavens. Or perhaps, hell…

I’ve learned that good men are like unicorns. Everyone talks about them, but no one actually sees them.

How I’m eating my words because I’ve found my unicorn. But does that mean I’ve finally learned my lessons in love? Is your beloved narrator about to get her HEA after all?

Buckle up, bestie, things are about to get wild.

Love hits you when you least expect it…and we are never ready for the fall.

My husband will never love me, but I’m in this now until death do us part.

The man who threatened to carry me over his shoulder down the aisle and marry me at knifepoint is both my captor and my liberator. He makes me weak and strong at the same time.

Before, he didn’t give me an option. Now, there’s a choice. But he’s determined to push me away.

If I’m wise, I’ll take that freedom and run for my life. Because the heart of the man who captured and saved me will always belong to the woman who broke it. The man who calls himself my husband will never be mine.

Only, there is no choice for me any longer. It’s way too late to walk away.

I’m in this war now … until death do us part.

#BookTour: Songs for the Deaf by Kenneth A. Silver @RABTBookTours

 

Speculative Fiction

 

Songs for the Deaf is a wonderful story with the unforgettable presence of Miles Curtin, the protagonist. Following his bombshell discovery, the tug-of-war within his soul creates the kind of depth and literary richness that is one of the hallmarks I look for in great writing. Mariel Hemingway, Oscar-nominated actress, author, and granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway

#BookReview: Apprentice to the Villain (Assistant to the Villain #2) by Hannah Nicole Maehrer @redtowerbooks

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

LIMITED FIRST PRINT RUN―featuring spray-painted edges, while supplies last in the US and Canada only.

"An engaging love story about finding strength in vulnerability." ―Kirkus Reviews

NOTICE TO STAFF: There has been a disturbing increase in cheeriness, sprightly behavior, and overall optimism of late. Please resume your former dark, ominous terrors at your earliest convenience. ―Mgmt

Evie Sage has never been happier to be the assistant to The Villain. Who would have thought that working for an outrageously handsome (shhh, bad for his brand) evil overlord would be so rewarding? Still, the business of being bad is demanding, the forces of good are annoyingly persistent, and said forbidding boss is somewhat…er, out-of-evil-office.

But Rennedawn is in grave trouble, and all signs―Kingsley’s included―point to catastrophe. Something peculiar is happening with the kingdom’s magic, and it’s made The Villain’s manor vulnerable to their enemies...including their nemesis, the king.

Now it’s time for Evie to face her greatest challenge: protecting The Villain’s lair, all of his nefarious works, and maybe (provided no one finds out) the entire kingdom. No pressure, Evie.

It’s time to step out of her comfort zone and learn new skills. Like treason. Dagger work. Conspiring with the enemy. It’s all so…so…delightfully fun.

But what happens when the assistant to The Villain is ready to become his apprentice?
