Reviews!

To any authors/publishers/ tour companies that are looking for the reviews that I signed up for please know this is very hard to do. I will be stopping reviews temporarily. My husband passed away February 1st and my new normal is a bit scary right now and I am unable to concentrate on a book to do justice to the book and authors. I will still do spotlight posts if you wish it is just the reviews at this time. I apologize for this, but it isn't fair to you if I signed up to do a review and haven't been able to because I can't concentrate on any books. Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time. I appreciate all of you. Kathleen Kelly April 2nd 2024

Eye of the Eagle Tour Graphic

Eye of the Eagle
Series: Hotel LaBelle Series Book 3
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Publication Date: November 12, 2018
One soars like an eagle. One strikes like a thunderbird. But for both hearts, revenge can be deadly when it's nourished.
Anomaly Defense Director and shapeshifter Bert Blackfeather doesn't need a boss with no experience. So what if she's beautiful or gives him a jolt when she shakes his hand? He never plans to get seriously involved with another woman—not in this lifetime.
Phoebe Wagner, an empath with psychometric abilities and an advocate for the deaf, gets more than she bargained for with Bert. One touch and she relives his IED injuries. So what if he's handsome and hot? She doesn't need to add his secrets to her own. Phoebe's are bad enough.
When his niece goes missing from Hotel LaBelle, Bert goes to Montana to help—and Phoebe insists on going with him. Can these two hard-headed people share their darkest secrets in order to work together? It may be the only way to save an endangered child—and their own hearts when Bert's past rears its ugly head.

 Read an Excerpt!
“I insist on going with you.” If Phoebe could help rescue this child, would that balance the scale of justice? No. It wouldn’t bring Angela back, but maybe doing something, knowing she hadn’t simply sat on the sidelines when there was something she could do, would give her some kind of solace. She had never expected to be thrust into a situation where she could help another endangered child—not here in this management role. This was an opportunity to redeem herself, if not in the world’s eyes, then in her own.
“Thanks, but no thanks.” Bert’s jaw twitched. “I’m sure you’re needed here.”
She shook her head. This was not going well. Summoning up her legal prowess, she decided to pursue the argument from a different angle.
National security.
“You just told me the lives of your agents depend on your discretion. You’re the only person who knows every single agent in the division. Would you agree your information would be highly attractive to a malicious foreign power?”
He rubbed his chin and nodded. “Yes, I would agree with that assessment.”
“Would you agree your family is the most important thing in your life?”
He shifted in his streamlined wheelchair and looked everywhere but at her. Heart thudding in her throat, she waited what seemed an eternity for his response.
His gaze finally returned to hers. He nodded. “Family first.”
“So, how do you know for a fact this event has nothing to do with the extremely important secrets you carry in your brain?” He shrugged and looked away. Rude and obstinate. Phoebe wasn’t taking no for an answer. She tapped his hand, forcing him to look at her—and triggered a feathery feeling again. “You may be the real target. Someone could have kidnapped the child to lure you into a trap.”
He stroked his chin. “I hadn’t considered that possibility.”
A thrill ran up her spine, and she ducked her head to hide a quick smile of victory behind a curtain of hair.
“I see from your bio you can ride,” he said. She nodded, wondering where this was going.
“If you come with me, you’ll be put on a horse and sent out to search along with every other volunteer in the community. Out there, I’m the boss. If you can’t follow instructions, you’ll be useless.”
A frisson of excitement pierced her backbone. Phoebe’s heart skipped a beat, and her breath came just a tad too fast. This was it. She was going. Thank God it was Friday. She couldn’t wait to get home and pack. “I will do whatever I can to help. I swear. I can—” Stopping herself before revealing more, she glanced at Jean. The sign-language interpreter might hold a top-secret security clearance, but this was not the time for Phoebe to reveal her gifts. “—be ready in an hour.”
He’s not the only one with secrets. I have a few of my own.

In step two, you will learn about the different naturopathic treatments to heal your thyroid problem. Step three will address the important role of our gut and how conditions like leaky gut are related to autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Step four addresses the Environmental influences on the thyroid. In Step five you will understand why it is important to keep all the hormones balanced, not just the thyroid. Step six addresses the important aspect of stress and emotional health and its affect on the thyroid function and last but not least, Step Seven brings it all together by treating the person as a Whole. Finding the balance in Trinity of Life- Mind, Body & Spirit.

 I have written this book from both my personal struggle with this condition which went un-diagnosed for years and my clinical experience treating patients for more than a decade. I hope that you find it helpful.

Brexit XXL by Vincent Pluchet Book Tour! @fayerogersuk @authoright @vpluchet #BrexitXXL




Summary:
Plunge into post-Brexit Britain and follow Prime Minister Tracy Meller in the biggest struggle she has ever faced, as the country is hit by a huge crisis and her opponents leave her no respite. Meet ordinary people caught up in the storm. Visit Chequers and historical places where the action takes place.

London, 2022 Tracy Meller, the UK’s Conservative Prime Minister, is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Having halted the endless negotiations to leave the European Union four years earlier, Prime Minister Meller chose the most uncompromising of all possible exits, a “Brexit XXL” with serious consequences. The economy is at a standstill, the financial markets are panicking. The opposition Labour Party launches an attack on the Prime Minister with a promise of a return to the European Union. The country’s morale is at rock bottom: everyone is afraid for their jobs and losing faith in the future. As for Scotland, its thoughts are increasingly turning back to independence. Prime Minister Meller herself is beginning to doubt the wisdom of her decision…

Will the UK survive this historic crisis? Brexit XXL is a work of fiction about the most risky Brexit scenario, based on a detailed analysis of British political culture. Both realistic and instructive, the plot of the novel has a particular resonance today, encouraging reflection on the sovereignty of nations and the future of the European project.

Read an Extract
Philip Denniel, the governor of the bank of England, invited to lunch at his mother-in-law’s house for Christmas Eve of 2021, was slowly chewing a piece of the traditional pudding.
“the pudding does not taste quite like it normally does,” he finally observed.
“it’s the brandy,” replied his mother-in-law. “the French brandy i always bought before is too expensive now. I used a British apple brandy.”
Speechless, Denniel stared at his mother-in-law. if even the Christmas pudding was affected by Brexit, what was the country coming to?
Jane Farrow, though, lived in a comfortable house in an affluent part of the city. it was true that this elegant seventy-six-year-old lady had always been cautious with money, especially since her husband’s death. but this level of austerity was unprecedented.
the elderly lady excused herself to pop down to the ground floor. Denniel finished his pudding with little enthusiasm, alone in the large dining room with floral wallpaper. His wife and their two daughters, keen to do some last-minute shopping, had made good their escape before pudding was served. big ben, or rather the miniature replica on the mantelpiece, chimed two o’clock. the governor, sunk in his thoughts, barely heard it. So this is what it had come to. the mother-in-law of the governor of the bank of England, and probably all the mothers-in-law across the country, were too hard up to buy imported ingredients for their puddings.
“Would you like some more pudding?” Denniel was roused from his brief distraction by the return of his hostess. He declined politely, got up from the table, and went through into the first floor sitting room next to the dining room. He liked thinking in this room, which was lined with beautiful woodwork and red velvet curtains, well lit by several bay windows, and beautifully decorated with a collection of Chinese ceramics and silver ornaments. Several reproductions of works by Reynolds, Gainsborough and Turner adorned the walls. the governor had a favourite spot, a leather armchair near the fireplace, where he spent long hours smoking his pipe. but today he was too pre-occupied to sit quietly. wanting to enjoy the sun that had just come out, he went over to the main window and opened it. in from the quiet London street came December air, chilly, invigorating, freshened by the rain that had fallen that morning. what could be done to rescue his country from the doldrums? Denniel had been asking himself the same question for two years, without arriving at any conclusion. unemployment, companies failing, devaluation, inflation... the country had been in recession since 2019. Problems were being heaped upon problems. the governor was now dreading a still darker prospect, a plunge into an even deeper crisis, which would shake the country to its very foundations.
Looking down the street, he saw a taxi passing too fast, splashing a passer-by. the driver stopped immediately, got out, and could be heard apologising, offering to take the passer-by on to his destination for free. the pedestrian accepted gracefully. “All is not lost,” thought Denniel. “we still have a people of great character, able to endure difficulties with phlegm and stoicism.”
He decided to go out for a walk, told his mother-in-law on his way through the kitchen and went down to the ground floor. Having put on his coat and a cap, he opened the front door. it was at that moment that he was hit in the face by something congealed and sticky. A piece of Christmas pudding. “go on, let them eat pudding! this disaster is all your fault!” shouted the man who had thrown it. Denniel wanted to respond, but the projectile thrower had already disappeared. returning to the house to clean his face, he considered that perhaps the country was not so phlegmatic after all... the incident did not prevent him from going on to have an uneventful walk. On his return, an hour later, he noticed that his daughters and his wife had not come back. He could not see his mother-in-law either; she had probably gone out as well. He went back to the sitting room, put a log on the fire, lit a pipe, settled down in the leather chair and turned on the television. He decided to watch the last parliamentary debate of the year, which had taken place two days earlier, and which he had not been able to see at the time. it had been widely discussed in the press.
