Blurb
Love is the only thing I’ve given up on. Until I meet the broody, secret son of Stone Bay’s biggest recluse.


Devastation consumed me when my first love took his last breath. But after years of healing, I found the courage to date again. To move forward.
But the glint of happiness I discovered quickly morphed into my biggest nightmare. One night was all it took to put my walls back up. One night made me doubt I’d ever love again.

Until Maddox Freeman drives into town.

Although our connection is instantaneous, I shield my heart. Maddox is a stranger, a client, a mystery. But somewhere deep down, he feels familiar, profound. Important. More. And somehow, I know Maddox feels it too.
Wanting to know the man behind the grumpy exterior, I offer to help him renovate the house he inherited in Stone Bay. And in the weeks that follow, I slowly let him in. I slowly open my heart again.

While sifting through boxes, I uncover something monumental. Stumble upon secrets that will change Stone Bay forever.

As Maddox and I fall harder, as I unearth more secrets about the town, as I recruit others to help me get the truth about Stone Bay out, the ghosts of the past resurface. Warn us to stop digging through the town’s history. Put our lives in jeopardy—to scare us off, and make Maddox leave. But we refuse to cower.

And as the truth about Stone Bay and the Seven is exposed, Maddox and I fight to stay alive.

**Raptured Souls is a standalone story in the Stone Bay series, but for a more enjoyable reading experience, it is highly recommended that you read the previous books beforehand.

MY REVIEW



Maddox has come to Stone Bay to claim an inheritance from the father he never knew existed. Not only is the house he's inherited in less than pristine shape, but the whole town whispers every time they see him. If he hadn't met Emery, he might consider leaving and saying to hell with this ridiculous place. But there's something that draws him to her, and now he's falling for someone who's afraid to love.


The first time Emery (Emmy) saw Maddox, it gave her the chills. Why does her first love come to mind the first time she sees Maddox? And why is she falling for him, even though she's trying not to? The last time she loved someone, she lost him. She's not about to have her heart broken again, but she might not have a choice...


"But she was my beacon in a dark moment. A shining light I couldn't look away from even if I wanted to."

Two characters not looking for, or wanting, love like Emmy & Maddox, find healing with each other, and I loved every page of their slow burn, suspenseful love story. I hurt for both of them for all the pain and loss they had suffered, and I was on the edge of my seat as each secret of their small town was revealed. It's been great being back in Stone Bay, and can't wait for the final two stories now.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
