Off to a good start to the year! Had some really great picks and some that were just okay. I was most excited to read American Predator and I was not disappointed! 1st to Die has been on my TBR list for so long and I am so happy that I finally got around to reading it. This series has instantly become one of my favorites.

I am very thankful for Lyrical Underground, Viking Books, and Danelle Nelson for proving me with some of these good reads!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Time travel, Western, Romance

Lorena Durrell is a 28 year old single woman living in Alaska, working at a job she hates. She has enough one day, quits her job and heads to Arizona for a vacation to visit her grandparents and the home she left 15 years ago. Lorena goes to visit the Montezuma Well alone, looking forward to having a nice hike and taking some great pictures that she can bring back and show her grandparents. She makes her way over to the historic cliff dwellings and as she wanders in to have a closer look, she meets an old Indian woman.
“This is not your time, you are needed elsewhere. Young child, I have seen you in my dreams. I have seen you in a time far away. The Mountain Spirits have come to me, they have showed me your life. The life you have yet to live.”

Book 3 – Arizona

Lorena is tired of the Merry-go-round her life has become. She quits her hated job and decides to take a much needed vacation in Arizona. She makes a trip to the Montezuma Well, where she meets an old Indian woman. Lorena ends up catapulted into the year 1826. Arizona during the wild wild west, cowboys and outlaws. There she meets a cattle herder who changes everything. Lorena must make the unbearable decision of returning back to her own time or remaining in 1826 with Alexandre Castro.

“Disclosure: Bound Through the Ashes contains steamy romance and dark subject matter and may not be suitable for all audiences. Reader discretion is advised.” 😊 Ooh. Ready for a little change of pace.
