About the Book
After ten years in the NFL, super star Gray Fowler is accustomed to obsessive fans. But when Gray starts receiving death threats from a stalker, his team hires an executive protection agency to guard him until the culprit is caught. Dealing with bodyguards 24/7 is a headache, especially when one of them is a young, beautiful woman. How can a female half his size possibly protect him better than he can protect himself?
Dru Porter is a former Marine, an expert markswoman, and a black belt–none of which saved her from disaster on her last assignment. In order to rebuild her tarnished reputation, she’s determined to find Gray’s stalker and, since relationships between agents and clients are forbidden, avoid a romantic attachment between herself and the rugged football player with the mysterious past.
Yet every secret that leads Dru closer to the stalker also draws her closer to Gray. As the danger escalates, they’ll survive only if they can learn to trust their lives — and their hearts — to one another.
It is that time of the week again. I hate that time goes by so quick the older that you get. There is never enough time to do everything that I want to do in a day. Let’s get onto the posts from this past week.
Those are all the posts from this past week in case you missed any of them. I hope that I will see you back here next week for more reviews and a quote on Monday. I also will have my list of book reviews that I will have up in the month of May. I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
This week I chose to write about number six which is: Top 10 most listened to songs. I chose this one because like most of the know I almost always have music playing the background because I love to have background noise when I am doing anything. As I was going through my archives, I saw that I did a post like this at this time last year so if you want to check out what I was listening to the previous year, you can click here to read it. Now let’s get on to the songs I love right now.
1-This first song that I have listened to on repeat lately is “Team” by Iggy Azalea. I am not sure what it is about this song, but right when I heard it I had to buy it, and I listen to all the time as I am driving to and from work.
2-The next song that I have loved lately is “Move Bitch” by Ludacris. I always listen to this song when I am pissed off by the stupid drivers as I am driving to and from work.
3- Another song I have loved lately is “Good Morning” by Chamillionaire. This song has always made me smile, and it is how I feel about people who dislike me. It can always put me in a good mood.
4-“Viva la Vida” by Coldplay I have always liked this song but I forgot about it until the Super Bowl this past year.
5-“Roads” by Chris Mann-I got a copy of this CD back in 2012 to review, and this has always been my one favorite song of his. I am not huge into Christian music, but I do love this song, and I am sure it will always be one that I will listen to.
6-“The Sound Of Silence” by Celtic Thunder-If you have been around for the past few years you know that I am a huge fan of Celtic Thunder, and this song is one that I have loved lately from them.
7-Live You Life (feat. Rihanna) by T.I.– There isn’t much I can say about this song because like most of the others on this list it is an older song that I have listened to for years.
8-Fly Away by Nelly– I love most of the songs that Nelly has released but if I had to pick one that is my favorite of his it would be this one. I love everything about this song, and I am sure that won’t change anytime soon.
9-Straight Tequila Night by John Anderson– I remember this song from my childhood and so I knew I had to include it on this list. I totally forgot about this song until last year when I started listening to 90’s country on Pandora, and I was reminded of all the songs I loved when I was a kid.
10-Wild Ones (feat. Sia) by Flo Rida– I always find myself singing this song as I am driving home from work. Then again I am always singing songs by Flo Rida because they are so catching and they tend to get stuck in my head.
Those are the ten songs that I am currently loving. I also wanted to include one other song because after I was done writing this post the song started playing and I knew I wanted to post it. The song I am talking about is “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber. I wasn’t a huge fan of this song when I first heard it but last month I fell in love with it, and I have been known to put it on repeat for the entire drive home from work.
I am always on the lookout for new music so what songs are you currently loving and what would you recommend to me?

False Prophet by Richard Davis was another book that I knew I would like just because of the type of book it was. Right from the first chapter of this book I was hooked and I didn’t want to put the book down until I had finished it. There are so many things that I enjoyed about this book that I am not sure what to say. I loved how the author was able to make me truly believe what was happening in the book. I love when I read books, and I am left feeling like what occurred in the book could happen in the world. I liked all the characters in the book as well because like I just said I could see them living in the world. I love this authors style of writing and how he was able to me understand why the characters did the things that they did. He made me feel as if I was there with the characters and I love when authors can make the book come alive while I am reading it. This book kept me wondering what was going to happen next which I always love because I tend to figure out what is going to happen so I love when I can’t figure out what is going happen. This is the first I have heard of this author, and I can’t wait to check out more books by him in the future. If you love mystery/thrillers than I know, you will love this book.

Freedom’s Child by Jax Miller was an excellent book. This is the typical kind of book that I usually will choose to read because they are the books I tend to like. I do want to say that the language in this book might offend people, but I didn’t mind it. At times, I thought that it was an interesting choice of words, but it was nothing that would have made me want to stop reading the book. I almost figured that it would have some language in it based on the cover of the book and the description of the book. I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book, but that did make me want to stop reading it, and I had no problem finishing the book like I have with other books in the past. If you don’t get easily, offend by language, and you love thriller type books than I would suggest you pick up this book and see what you think. If you have read this book what, did you think of it?
About The Book
Freedom Oliver has plenty of secrets. She lives in a small Oregon town and keeps mostly to herself. Her few friends and neighbors know she works at the local biker bar; they know she gets arrested for public drunkenness almost every night; they know she’s brash, funny, and fearless.
What they don’t know is that Freedom Oliver is a fake name. They don’t know that she was arrested for killing her husband, a cop, twenty years ago. They don’t know she put her two kids up for adoption. They don’t know that she’s now in witness protection, regretting ever making a deal with the Feds, and missing her children with a heartache so strong it makes her ill.
Then, she learns that her daughter has gone missing, possibly kidnapped. Determined to find out what happened, Freedom slips free of her handlers, gets on a motorcycle, and heads for Kentucky, where her daughter was raised. As she ventures out on her own, no longer protected by the government, her troubled past comes roaring back at her: her husband’s vengeful, sadistic family; her brief, terrifying stint in prison; and the family she chose to adopt her kids who are keeping dangerous secrets.
Written with a ferocious wit and a breakneck pace, Freedom’s Child is a thrilling, emotional portrait of a woman who risks everything to make amends for a past that haunts her still.
I loved this quote when I saw it because it reminds me to stay positive and always to try and find the good in things that happen to me. I always try and stay positive but at times I need to be reminded to look at the good and not focus on the bad things that happen in life.
