Brutally Beautiful

I will state right away that this book/series will not be everyone’s cup of tea. It is dark. It is violent. It is disturbing. It will haunt you. And it is amazing.

I have had this series on my TBR for months, and have gotten to know the author through her Facebook page, events, and street team. I have read her latest, Summer Angel, and was definitely impressed with it. I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but I have been wanting to sink my teeth into this series after reading teasers and comments for months. I signed up to host a spot on her blog tour next month, so I finally had an excuse to move binging on the whole series to the top of my list.

Tori Farrell has no idea who she really is and has very good reasons for not trusting anyone. This first book in the series finds her barely alive in a house full of murdered bikers. She wakes in a hospital with three unknown men, who we soon find out are FBI agents who want to pick her brain for information. The story that slowly unfolds is unbelievably brutal, but is told in a very powerful way and somehow shows Tori’s incredible strength as anything but the broken victim you would expect someone who had gone through a tiny percentage of what she has to be. No matter what she has done, you want to find a way to give her the childhood she missed, even though in her almost serene realism about her situation, she accepts that this simply is not possible. Few literary characters I have ever befriended are so deserving of a happily ever after, and I am certainly on board for the next six books in the series to find out if she can achieve a semblance of one.

Amongst many other thoughts and feelings on this book, I want to mention that it is extremely well written and edited. I don’t give 5-star reviews lightly, but I feel this has earned them, no matter how difficult emotionally it may be to read. As hard as it is to wrap my head around such an ugly story coming from such a sweet and beautiful woman I am getting to know, I may be most amazed at the light and hope she manages to weave into such a horrific tale. In some ways, I am glad to have waited so long to jump into this, because I don’t have to wait months or years to see what comes next – book two in the series is queued up to start now. I foresee my reviews for the rest of the series coming very quickly, as I just have to know what comes next for Tori.

Definitely for mature audiences only. Explicit violence, abuse, and sexual situations.

This is a compelling story of abuse, rebirth, and emergence.

The story carries you along teasing you with the promise of details. You eagerly push forward anxious to learn more. The author does not disappoint and you are gratified. When the story ends you are satisfied, but still want more. I’m keeping this review short because I’m in a hurry to start book 2!

The end of the world is coming, or so they say, and that puts Bailey Dewitt on a crash course with Armageddon. Orphaned, she and her young brothers find themselves living with their renegade uncle as part of a group of survivalists. She struggles against them, searching for a way to escape, but every discovery only terrifies her more.

For Caleb Cross, the Ranch is a way of life. The members of their group are family, and none should come between them. Smitten from the moment he met Bailey, his choices are no longer easy, his path no longer clear. He wants to welcome her and the twins into their fold and hopes his kin will agree.

But the elders who lead them aren’t interested in the troublesome girl. They are plotting for the time they will be rid of her and expect Caleb to go along with their plans – he is after all one of them.

At first, Bailey resists Caleb’s charms but soon must admit that she desperately needs a friend. She has no intention of anything more, but when the elders make their move, she is forced to trust him with her very life.

They both have hard lessons to learn. Relationships built on secrets and lies don’t come with guarantees. When the world falls apart around them, some things are Irrevocable.

Loved this series

I won a paperback of Rendered, so I bought Retained and Recombined before starting the series, without even knowing what they were really about. This was the first time I read a series like this…  The end of the world and conspiracy theories are not something I am into, but Samantha Jacobey sucked me in and held me till I finished them all. I really enjoyed the entire series and the final book, Recombined, really brought it home! It was such a great series!!!

“If you like smart and witty romance with interesting characters and a superb plot, if you are not afraid to weep and cry, you should read Blue Lake.” – Blue Lake (Time After Time) by Carol Ann Kauffman

 

When widowed Nicole decided to step back into life in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico with Richard, a young, handsome British actor who professed his undying love and devotion to her on a daily basis, she mistook his boundless enthusiasm for her as little more than youthful impetuousness. She had no idea where their relationship would take her physically or emotionally. She would find herself in many dazzling international locations, putting her own life on hold, simply to be with him. She had no concept how strong her commitment to him would grow and to what extent she would go to protect him and ensure his safety and well-being. And she certainly had no idea the depth of his devotion to her, an unlikely but undeniable love that would span continents and a decade of their lives, entwining them closer and closer, while his career, their families, and other relationships pulled them farther and farther apart. BLUE LAKE is a story of the power of love.
The series, TIME AFTER TIME, follows a pair of quintessential lovers, Richard and Nicole, through their lives together, in different places, in different times, with different names and faces, and sometimes even on other planets. This follows the alternative theory that the relationships we forge in this lifetime, both the good and the bad, are continued into the future, and are rooted deeply in our past. Whatever we do, whoever we love, and the good and evil deeds we do today follow us into the future. Unsettled issues will present themselves again and again until they are ultimately resolved. Those people who have had a profound effect on us in this lifetime will find us again in the future. And although everything changes, love remains.
Books in the TIME AFTER TIME series are BLUE LAKE, BELTERRA,
The BASLICATO, BENTLEY SQUARE, WAITING FOR RICHARD, and LORD OF BLAKELEY. They do not need to be read in order.

A wonderful love story!

Love at first sight, the BIG and REAL one, happens occasionally but if it does, it’s spectacular. However, the relationship with the true soul mate or twin flame isn’t easy, requires sacrifices, and sometimes even inflicts pain. On one hand, perfect couples deal with overwhelming joy, on the other hand with doubt, worry, remorse, and fear. Carol and Richard, the main characters in Blue Lake, initially sharing a strong connection, have to face the hidden, dark side of love as well and fight together for their future.
Despite being a down-to-earth person I got carried along with this novel. I suppose it’s a matter of the cast, great and versatile setting, and emotional charge. Even stone-cold readers like me would need some tissues to get through the Blue Lake and it’s absolutely fine–it feels good to realize there is love out there. And it conquers all.
If you like smart and witty romance with interesting characters and a superb plot, if you are not afraid to weep and cry, you should read Blue Lake.

How many lifetimes have you sought out your true love and found them again and again?

Did you ever have a dream about a person for years that you never met, but you know you know them very well? And when you do finally meet, the both of you have memories of things you did together, years ago, centuries ago, another lifetime ago? And the both of you know the other name from another time? Well, this happened to Skye and Derrick in their 60’s.
When they both called each other by their other name, I got goosebumps! Some people are meant to be with each other forever and that means from one lifetime to another. Somehow, one way or the other, they find each other. I like to think my husband and I are like that. I believe that you live on in your sprite form until God has another plan for you. So why not being with the only one for you, your Soul Mate, from lifetime to lifetime, and so on?
This is a very touching story and makes you think about who you are with and people that you have met and felt a connection to right away. I love how Carol put this story together. It’s a love story of a different kind. Sweet, mystery, funny and heartwarming all rolled into one.

Never A Dull Moment! Love it!

Samantha Jacobey continues to amaze me. She’s written a character who keeps me on the edge of my seat book after book and wondering what kind of trouble Tori will get herself into next.
How can a reader not cheer for a heroine who has been through so much? I am absolutely dreading the end of this series!
