Warm days of hope
Cool nights in thought
Dreams many sparkle
Regrets fade to memories
Cry with me, Laugh with me.
Rains shower new sprigs
New day, a fresh dawn
Blooms in abundance
Waltzing to a rainbow
Stay with me, Be with me.
Within the walls of a canvas
Colors and stories unexplained
Images into albums become
Hollow is the nest, yet wealthy in heart
Live with me, Love with me.

Funny thing about humans is, at our best we can be the most noble of animals, but if not governed by law and justice, some tend to become the monsters of all monsters! Money, power and fame are not vices in the right hands, but once they get into the monsters’ hands, and innocent lives are at stake, it’s a different ball game. And when people sink to the bottom that they don’t feel the cold anymore, and have absolutely ‘Nothing to Lose’, is when they thirst to avenge injustice.
How would you react if your life is snatched from under you viciously and with intent to hurt? Would you fight back or just accept it as fate dealing a bad hand? Unfortunately for Kennedy O’Donnell, justice went the other direction and she had to make a tough choice to either disappear to save her life or bring justice to her slain husband and her lost baby. Teaming with her’s and her husband’s best friend Nick Gallagher, and with the powerful presence of Grey Justice, a billionaire and philanthropist, behind them, they strategically and methodically plan the downfall of the people responsible for creating havoc in their lives.
Having read Christy Reece’s LCR series, a series brimming with adrenaline mercenaries, fast and furious covet operations, high-end stakes and nerve cracking and nail-biting escapades, the “Grey Justice” series is a different flow. I loved the way she choreographed the story at a calm pace, with reasonable thinking and strategic planning, yet not losing her grip over the story and the thrill of the ride. And never once are the emotions, trauma, and pain underplayed.
And she’s cloaked her characters with layers to peel like an onion! I believe Christy hasn’t even nicked the tip of the iceberg for us readers to get to know the person called Grey Justice and his personal nemesis Irelyn! They are two complicated people dark as midnight, with shadows of a painful past dogging them just a hair breath away, yet laying their lives and resources for innocent people in that grey area of justice. I would love to see those layers peeled to get to their hearts as they evolve individually and together.
Kennedy O’Connell stole my heart with her courage and perseverance, her stubbornness and focus. Nick Gallagher was just the right person for Kennedy with his amazing cop skills and his everlasting love for Kennedy. When dealing with matters of justice and truth, there is no difference between small and large problems, because we expect justice to be served equally, and it was portrayed with great clarity when Christy was etching Eli Slater and Jonah Slater.
With the first team members for the “White Knight” in the making, and the support of some amazing good people rising from the dark, I am looking forward to her second book in the series, “Too Far Gone”.

Jake Knight came home one night to find trouble on his doorstep. Times two. With infant twins to take care of and no idea of how to do it, he reaches out to the one woman whose heart he broke eight years earlier.
In no mood to play nanny or to do anything remotely kind, Olivia does her best to keep her distance. But with guilt being thrown at her from every angle, she agrees to a temporary arrangement. The only problem?It means living under Jake’s roof for the entire time.
Jake has too much on his plate to even begin to contemplate making things up to Olivia for his past mistakes but the more time he spends with her, the more he wants their arrangement to be permanent. Can he convince her that he’s sincere in his feelings and that he is looking for a woman to love and not just a live-in nanny?

What would it be like to return to your own roots? To a place where you had spent your wonder years, to a town that is home to unanswered questions, to a heart that, hoping it still beats for you?
J.L.Berg’s third book, “Ready For You” in her Ready Series, is a manuscript of two beautiful people and their love story. Garrett and Mia, friends in high school, fall in love dreaming of a life together. But even the best-laid plans go haywire and their path of together splits into two very different directions.
Fate brings them back full circle to the very place their relationship has disappeared and now it is up to them to complete that circle of life. It is time to understand and to be understood. It is time to hear the unspoken words of pain, regret and lasting love between the words of betrayal, misunderstanding and manipulation. Guilt and insecurities are a force to reckon in our lives!
This is by far Jennifer’s best work as she weaves the story between Garrett and Mia. If her first two books, “When You Are Ready” and “Never Been Ready” dealt with circumstances and how her characters trusted to welcome a new life, ‘Ready For You’ is an emotional roller coaster ride as Garrett and Mia try to explore the choices made, dealing with the consequences of those choices, trying to understand the unexplained actions, reconciling with the loss of precious treasures, and Jennifer does not break for a second, for us to catch our breath between the hurt and the tears and the longing and the lust.
What’s more beautiful is the foundation of friendship that eases Garrett and Mia back into a familiar relationship, giving them a chance to rekindle the trust and love one more time, and this time forever and for always. Jennifer’s done a fabulous job of choreographing their emotions through actions. As much as it hurts to look back and be scared of what the future may hold, with your best friend and the love of your life right beside each other, Garrett and Mia find their kingdom with the unconditional help and support of a loving family around them.
Ready Or Not – I want more from this lady who is turning out to be one heck of a great writer and I am tickled with excitement for getting the privilege of writing reviews for her books.
