Mission: Believe by Stacy Eaton

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Mission: Believe by Stacy Eaton was a great book.  This book gave me an escape and an exciting world to escape into.  I enjoyed the narrator of this book as well.  He did a great job of changing his voice for the different characters, making it easy to know who was talking.  I have read/listen to several books by this author, and as far as I can remember, I have enjoyed her books, and this book was no different.  I grew up in the military, so when I saw this book come up for review, I knew I had to check it out.  I found the subject of this book super interesting.  This book followed the same pattern that most romance books follow, but that didn’t bother me because of this book’s plot.  I fell in love with the characters right from the start, and I was glad that there is another book in this series because I hope that we will get an update on these two in the next book in the series.  If you love romance novels, I am sure you will love this book as much as I do.  I can’t say enough good things about this book.  I will be reviewing the next book next week, so come back and see how I felt about that one if this book interests you.

About The Book

Author: Stacy Eaton

Narrator: Ryan Clark

Length: 9 hours 26 minutes

Publisher: Nitewolf Novels⎮2020

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Series: Rise Again Warrior, Book 1

Release date: May 27, 2020

Synopsis: This is a very emotional story about sacrifice and loyalty – about overcoming the wounds of battle and finding a life to live and a love to share it with.

Staff Sgt. Shane Logan is lucky to have come from a privileged family, and after losing both of his legs in the war, he now has the best prosthetics that money can buy. While he is trying to move forward with life, he struggles with the past and the way people react to him and his disability.

Dr. Lauren Falcone works tirelessly to help veterans deal with the trauma and pain of their deployments. Her unique virtual approach to therapy keeps her busy, and the assistance she provides to service members as they recover mentally helps her resolve her own anxieties.

When Shane meets Lauren at a fundraiser for his father’s organization, he wonders if there just might be a chance for him to get his dream off the ground and maybe find a normal life with someone who can look past his flaws and see the man he is inside.

Shane and Lauren are drawn to each other by their hope to make life easier for veterans, both physically and emotionally. Their goal is to build Shane’s dream organization, Rise Again Warrior, which will assist veterans to integrate more easily into society and have the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art technology and therapy.

Now, if they can only have faith in themselves, learn to deal with their own demons, and believe in each other, they might find a way to bring this dream to fruition.

Wonder Tales by Elizabeth Klett

 

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Wonder Tales by Elizabeth Klett was a fun book to listen to.  I love that this included fairy tales that I hadn’t heard of before this book.  Even the stories that I had of before I hadn’t read the story, I learned more as I listened to this book.  I also love that each of the stories was a different chapter, so if I had heard that fairy tale before, I could just skip it and move on to the next story.  I also loved that the fairy tales were grouped by topic.  I enjoyed the narrator of these stories, and I will surely listen to other books that she had narrated in the future.  The narrator was able to change her voice enough that I never got confused about who was talking.  I also loved that these stories aren’t sugar-coated and that they are meant for adults.  I know that most fairy tales were written for adults.   It was nice to see the differences between the Disney movies and the original stories.  More than once, I was shocked to listen to the real story and compare it to what I learned when I was a child.  If you are looking for something different to listen to, I would pick up a copy of this audiobook because I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Top Ten Reasons to Listen to Wonder Tales

  1. To hear some of your favorite fairy tales. I’ve chosen stories that many listeners will recognize, particularly in the opening section, which is called “Princesses in Peril,” and includes classic favorites like “Snow White,” “Sleeping Beauty,” and “Cinderella.”
  2. To hear different versions of your favorite fairy tales. Although I think listeners will be familiar with some of the tales, the versions included here might actually be new to them. For instance, did you know that in Charles Perrault’s 17th century version of “Sleeping Beauty,” the story doesn’t end after the prince and princess get married? It actually gets much stranger from there!
  3. To hear fairy tales you’ve never heard before. Along with familiar stories, I’ve chosen some that are probably unfamiliar to many listeners, such as “Chonguita, the Monkey Bride” from the Philippines, “Catskin” from England,” and “Lu San, Daughter of Heaven,” from China.
  4. To travel (virtually) around the world. These stories come from all over the globe! Although many of them are from Europe, they also come from countries like Japan, Canada, India, Russia, and the Middle East.
  5. To make connections between stories. You’ll find as you listen that there are surprising connections between some of the tales, even though they come from very different places. See how many of these you can find!
  6. To celebrate strong and resilient heroines. One of my goals in putting together this collection, particularly the stories in part 4, was to show that fairy tales are not just about pretty princesses, but also about brave and adventurous girls.
  7. To explore the dark side. Many of these stories are darker and more disturbing than the fairy tales you may remember from your childhood. See, for example, the Brothers Grimm tale “The Juniper Tree,” which features a song about cannibalism!
  8. To take delight in tricksters. The stories in Part 5 are focused on clever and devious tricksters, who are ubiquitous figures in fairy tales and world mythologies.
  9. To enjoy being read to. Listening to fairy tales is an experience that many of us can remember from our childhoods, and can still enjoy as adults.

To find the happily ever after. Although not all these stories conclude with an HEA, many of them do, even if the characters sometimes take surprising or unexpected roads to get there!

Six Days of Memories by Stacy Eaton

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

Six Days of Memories by Stacy Eaton was a good book, but I found it predictable.  Even though I found the book predictable, I enjoyed the story.  I wasn’t the biggest fan of the narrator at first, but she grew on me, and by the end of the book, I enjoyed her voice.  I enjoyed this author’s writing, and I will read/listen to more books by her in the future.  She did a great job helping me understand why the characters did what they did.  I spent a lot of time thinking that Natasha was insane because of the things that she did throughout the book.  I did hope that she and Jay would end up together in the end because I thought they seemed perfect for each other.  I wish that there would have been more of a mystery aspect to this book, but I understand that this was mostly just a romance novel and not a mystery book.  I was left feeling sad when I was finished listening to this book because I was sad to say goodbye to these characters. If you are looking for a romance book that has a little bit of mystery included, I would for sure recommend this book/audiobook to you.

The Feast by David Vorhees

FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Audiobookworm in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

The Feast by David Vorhees was a good book.  I enjoyed all of the stories in this book, but some stories aren’t for everyone.  If you aren’t into gore and horror stories, then I wouldn’t pick this one up, but if that kind of stuff doesn’t bother you, then I am sure you will enjoy this book as much I did.  I couldn’t bring myself to listen to these books at night, but I wish I would have.  I loved how some of these stories were super short, and others were a little longer.  I enjoyed the variety of different stories included, so I didn’t get bored with just type of account.  I also really enjoyed the narrator of this book.  He was able to change his voice enough that I never got confused about who was talking during the stories.  I  don’t know that I could pick a favorite story because I enjoyed all of them.  I also loved that all of the stories in this book had to do with holidays because that gave it something different.  I also listen to the entire book in one afternoon because I had to know how all stories ended.  I did find that I was able to guess how some of the stories were going to end.  I wasn’t able to figure them all out, and the ones that I couldn’t figure out turned out to be my favorite ones.   If you love horror books, I recommend listening to this book in the dark because I know you will love it.
