    Publisher's Summary:
    With Nealy, horses come first. So when her two grown children's irresponsible acts nearly cost her Shufly, she throws them both off Blue Diamond Farm, choosing to work alone rather than give them another chance to risk her dream of training the promising foal into a Triple Crown winner. But while the estrangement from her children doesn't seem to affect her work, inside she's shattered. So when the irresistible Hatch Littletree, her ex-husband's law partner, pays her an unexpected visit, the comfort he brings her is much needed. Hatch, however, wants more than to just comfort Nealy - he is determined to see her heal the painful rift between herself and her children. But as Nealy struggles with that estrangement and running the stables alone, the unexpectedly strong feelings and terrifying situations she experiences may tax and test her normally indomitable spirit past its breaking point.

    I love this trilogy, but...
    I have read the Texas saga, the Vegas trilogy, and the Kentucky trilogy, as well as a few other books written by Fern Michael. For some reason, the Kentucky trilogy is the only one that I really loved. I love Nealy, her 'rags to riches' story and some of the people that come into her life.I do love the horse breeding/racing storyline too. But something that I've noticed, and the main reason why I stopped reading Fern Michael's books, is the continuity in her storyline from book to book. Sometimes even from events at the beginning of a book not quite matching up with the twists she puts in at the end. It's like she decides what she wants to throw into the story as she's going along and then doesn't even remember that the details differ from what she's already written. For this reason, I could only give these books 4 stars. As long as you can overlook that flaw in the writting, I would recommend these books.
    A good series
    Gave as a gift and she loves the series!
    Awesome Reads
    Fern Michaels is a great author. Her books are amazing. I would recommend to everyone who loves to read as much as I do to read the Vegas series, the Kentucky series & the Texas series. All 3 series tie together & tells a great family story!!
    Five Stars
    great book
    2nd time

    Members Reviews:
    A Surprising Treat!
    This was a fun, sassy novel with a likable protagonist, who isn't as predictable as most women in chick-lit novels. I liked that she took matters into her own hands and I enjoyed the writing style of this author. It is really hard to find light, fun fiction that isn't silly or massively predictable, and Jane Fallon delivered. I will definitely keep an eye on this author!
    Audible 20 Review Sweepstakes Entry
    Double double cross
    Enjoyable and thoroughly credible story. Interesting enough not to want to leave too long before picking up again the story has some nice little red herrings in it and a very cute /clever ending. Worth a read
    Brilliant Book!! Recommended!
    What did you like best about this story?
    It kept me guessing throughout. The 2 narrators made it extra enjoyable with each one telling their own tale. Paula was so lovely and didn't deserve to be treated like that by her husband.
    Saskia was a vile person. I don't know how she continued to do what she did to Paula after getting to know her. I was really looking forward to see how things wold unfold for then both.
    I thought that I knew what was going to happen in the end - but I was wrong!!
    Any additional comments?
    It would make a great TV series. Along the lines of Doctor Foster!!
    Are all Saskia's vile? This is the 3rd book I've read over the last few years where the horrible female in the book was called Saskia!! (Apologies if that's your name!)
    superficial
    what's wrong with me? I read the reviews and thought I'd be laughing out load....not even a smile. No real storyline and awful superficial characters. (haha!! nursiating)
    Sweet sickly unbelievable mush
    Was really looking forward to this book
    Read the reviews and they were ok
    It started off good with great potential but quickly became very silly and totally unbelievable
    The situations in the story just would not happen in real life
    Such a shame

    Publisher's Summary:
    Set adrift when her mother sells the salon that has been a neighborhood institution for decades, Nora Rolvaag takes a camping trip, intending to do nothing more than roast marshmallows over an open fire and under a starry sky. Two chance encounters, however, will have enormous consequences, and her getaway turns out to be more of a retreat from her daily life than she ever imagined. But Nora is the do-or-die-trying daughter of Patty Jane, who now must embrace the House of Curl's slogan: "Expect the Unexpected".
    With her trademark wit and warmth, Lorna Landvik follows Nora and an ever-growing cast of characters between city and wooded retreat, Minnesota and Norway, a past that's secret and a future that's promising but uncertain. Responding to a mysterious letter with a Norwegian postmark, Nora's grandmother Ione travels to her native land to tend to a dying cousin and her husband - two people who played a painful, pivotal role in her past. Nora accompanies her and is surprised by her grandmother's long-ago love story - but even more surprised by the beginning of her own.

    Wonderful book
    A beautiful story, wonderfully read. The characters came alive on the page and Sunshine was adorable.
    A story to become lost in...
    Lovely, original storyline, unusual mixture of central characters, all of whom I warmed to increasingly as the plot unfolded, some of whom I liked immediately. Not my usual choice of genres, but I loved it! So much so that I found myself laughing out loud at a funeral scene on my way to my first radiotherapy treatment!
    A gentle, life-affirming tale.
    Beautiful
    What a lovely story. Funny and poignant, each character is as wonderfully crafted as the story itself. A love story without being overly sentimental.
    Charming
    Loved the original idea. Really well crafted characters that kept your interest throughout. Looking forward to her next one!
    Well woven
    A beautiful love story - woven with engaging characters and a comforting denouement, very enjoyable to listen to

    Publisher's Summary:
    An unforgettable cast of characters is unleashed into a realm known for its cruelty - the American high school - in this captivating debut novel for listeners of Celeste Ng's Everything I Never Told You and Curtis Sittenfeld's Prep.
    The wealthy enclaves north of San Francisco are not the paradise they appear to be, and nobody knows this better than the students of a local high school. Despite being raised with all the opportunities money can buy, these vulnerable kids are navigating a treacherous adolescence in which every action, every rumor, every feeling, is potentially postable, shareable, viral.
    Lindsey Lee Johnson's kaleidoscopic narrative exposes at every turn the real human beings beneath the high school stereotypes. Abigail Cress is ticking off the boxes toward the Ivy League when she makes the first impulsive decision of her life: entering into an inappropriate relationship with a teacher. Dave Chu, who knows himself at heart to be a typical B student, takes desperate measures to live up to his parents' crushing expectations. Emma Fleed, a gifted dancer, balances rigorous rehearsals with wild weekends. Damon Flintov returns from a stint at rehab looking to prove that he's not an irredeemable screw-up. And Calista Broderick, once part of the popular crowd, chooses, for reasons of her own, to become a hippie outcast.
    Into this complicated web, an idealistic young English teacher arrives from a poorer, scruffier part of California. Molly Nicoll strives to connect with her students - without understanding the middle school tragedy that played out online and has continued to reverberate in different ways for all of them.
    Written with the rare talent capable of turning teenage drama into urgent, adult fiction, The Most Dangerous Place on Earth makes vivid a modern adolescence lived in the gleam of the virtual but rich with sorrow, passion, and humanity.

    Well Written Yet Heart-Wrenching Content
    If you could sum up The Most Dangerous Place on Earth in three words, what would they be?
    Fascinating. Unsettling. Mournful.
    What other book might you compare The Most Dangerous Place on Earth to and why?
    There are moments this reminded me of Rules of Attraction by Brett Easton Ellis, but these characters were far more redeemable. Their series of decisions were smaller, less regrettable, less intentional. More alive.
    Any additional comments?
    The first chapter of this book had me sobbing. Driving home from work, heading into a weekend and sobbing uncontrollably. This never happens, I assure you. I felt the hopelessness and abandonment of these characters. I knew what was coming and was powerless to stop it. I read each chapter to see their own views, their personal journeys and if they may be able to become entangled from the web of a shared experience. I read with so much hope for them all that this may be fixable. They all learn. They all grow and evolve. They all pay. Some of this is self inflicted and some of this is the product of the negligence or occasional yet fierce smothering around them. This is very well orchestrated, well coordinated and still an emotional tale. It's an interesting story where I somehow miss a character I never knew and can never comfort or guide. From that perspective alone, this book is extraordinary.
    Honestly?
    I think every city has the same issues in high school.

    À propos de ce titre
    Prix Goncourt des Lycéens 2016, Prix du premier roman FNAC 2016.
    "Au temps d'avant, avant tout ça, avant ce que je vais raconter et le reste, c'était le bonheur, la vie sans se l'expliquer. Si l'on me demandait 'Comment ça va ?' je répondais toujours 'Ça va !'. Du tac au tac. Le bonheur, ça t'évite de réfléchir. C'est par la suite que je me suis mis à considérer la question." - G. F.
    Avant, Gabriel faisait les quatre cents coups avec ses copains dans leur coin de paradis. Et puis l'harmonie familiale s'est disloquée en même temps que son "petit pays", le Burundi, ce bout d'Afrique centrale brutalement malmené par l'Histoire. Plus tard, Gabriel fait revivre un monde à jamais perdu. Les battements de cœur et les souffles coupés, les pensées profondes et les rires déployés, le parfum de citronnelle, les termites les jours d'orage, les jacarandas en fleur... L'enfance, son infinie douceur, ses douleurs qui ne nous quittent jamais.
    Gaël Faye : "J'ai écrit ce roman pour crier à l'univers que nous avons existé, avec nos vies simples, notre train-train, notre ennui, que nous avions des bonheurs qui ne cherchaient qu'à le rester avant d'être expédiés aux quatre coins du monde et de devenir une bande d'exilés, de réfugiés, d'immigrés, de migrants."

    Publisher's Summary:
    A moving story of love, family, and survival against all odds from beloved entrepreneur and reality TV star Bill Rancic.
    A father from Chicago takes a road trip to the city of Whitehorse, in Yukon Territory, with his wife and son. During the car ride, they reveal to the boy their harrowing experience surviving a horrific plane crash in the wilderness 10 years before, which is how the boy, in fact, came to be born.
    Set amid the deep, wild woods of the Yukon, First Light tells the story of Daniel Albrecht and Kerry Egan, young lovers leaving a work trip in Alaska to plan their wedding back home in Chicago. Not long into their trip, both engines of their plane catch fire and send them careening into a mountainside in the middle of a terrible snowstorm. Kerry is seriously injured in the accident, and it soon becomes clear that search-and-rescue teams aren't going to find the survivors in time to save her. Daniel - the one person with survival experience amid the passengers - makes the courageous decision to find help and bring it back to the rest of the passengers, hoping against hope he might save the woman he loves. He leaves Kerry in the care of their coworker, Phil Velez, himself seriously injured in the crash, and takes off into the woods to find a town, a house with a telephone, a road. Something.
    But Daniel's choices are made all the more difficult by the presence of his boss, a stubborn man more interested in results than taking care of people. Only one man will come out of their trek alive, but it still may not be in time to save Kerry and the others back at the crash site, slowly dying from their injuries.
    As the parents' story draws to a close, the truth about the boy's life, and the identity of his father, will at last be revealed.

    Dirty doings at the Vatican
    I've enjoyed nearly all of Harris's novels, especially 'Pompeii', though I found the Cicero trilogy very tedious and gave up halfway through. 'Conclave' deals in minute detail with the election of a new Pope, plus a mildly thriller type plot. As usual, Harris has done his research and provides plenty of twists and turns to his plot, though for the reader who is not a Roman Catholic, and takes little interest in the Pope or the Church's internal affairs, the reaction might well be 'Does it really matter, and why should I care?' It's hard to give any more details of the story without committing some serious spoilers, so I'll leave it at that. It did strike me that the current outrage at the sins of the Vatican, covered-up child abuse, is given a very easy ride; in fact it hardly figures at all. No, not one of my favourites. The reader is excellent.
    Great story, well written and well read
    Would you listen to Conclave again? Why?
    Yes, mostly cause I fell asleep during one passage, but also because the book is so good
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    None in particular, all were realistic and well defined
    What does Roy Mcmillan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    Good pace, subtle changes in accent, great pronunciation
    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
    Yes, I did
    Any additional comments?
    Unusual book, well worth the credit
    Good "read" (listen).. but!
    Excellent book with great detail and plenty of political intrigue within the Vatican. Narrator superb. Unfortunately, the ending was too contrived and brought me down with a bump!!
    Engrossing
    Roy Mcmillon (McMillan?) read very well and matches the tone of this story.
    Robert Harris writes well.
    I found this book almost as good as 'The Ghost', that Robert Harris wrote some years ago.
    Our Dean, in telling his own story is an exact and very likeable person who begins to take a few risks and moves away from his established comfort zone in order to do his 'job' well.
    Do not expect 'leaping over tall buildings' or 'spy vs spy' or contrived plots. You as reader or listener may guess the outcome and it really does not spoil the story at all. Another story you may find is about a man we only meet as a corpse. There is an absence perhaps of the high drama of Harris's Cicero trilogy and for me 'Conclave' remains compelling.
    If you have already read and enjoyed Harris's other books and wonder how the election of a Pope could stand up to his other works, my only response is 'this book is well worth your credit and your time'.
    Unexpected Gem
    What did you like most about Conclave?
    I cannot say what drew me to this book. However the story kept me enthralled.

    Publisher's Summary:
    All you need to know about Game of Thrones!
    This is the third installment in a series of noble house histories and cultural profiles of the peoples, cultures, and groups found in George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series and seen on HBO's global hit television series Game of Thrones. Volume three delves into a few more of the lesser known, but highly important noble houses seen in Game of Thrones. The attempt at spoiler-free content is made and information will not stretch much further beyond season two or three of the television series. After all, this is a history book; the past is prologue here.
    This volume covers in brief the history of four noble houses including Houses Tully, Mormont, Tarly and the mysterious Crannogmen of House Reed. We also take a look at the ancient peoples and events which led to the current story. The First-men, the Andals, the Valyrians, and the Children of the Forest are discussed at length. The Faith of the Seven, the Whyte walkers, dragons, and the history of the black brotherhood, the crows on the wall, the Night's Watch and its connection to the evil Night's King are all explored as well. This volume, along with the previous two will make a fantastic resource for any Game of Thrones fan, or make a great addition to one's A Song of Ice and Fire collection
    Members Reviews:
    Very informative book
    I am a huge fan of Game of Thrones. I have watched all the seasons of the series till now. But there are several houses in the series whose history I don't know. I didn't want to buy the books to know the history of these houses. But thankfully, I came across this book series. They have explained in detail the background of all the houses that appear in the series. Not only that, but the book has also explained the background of the Night's watch, Whyte walkers and the children of the forest. I definitely got the information I was looking for.
    Lots of Game of Thrones fun stuff.
    OK if you really like the Game of Thrones and read the books this series is fascinating. somebody put in a lot of work here. If Game of Thrones was an RPG these books would be great references for a Dungeon Master.
    A must read if you're like me and love Game of Thrones
    I just love Game of Thrones! The family trees can get a little confusing from time to time. That's where this guide comes in. The best guide on this subject! You'll learn the families in no time ! A must read if you're like me and love Game of Thrones
    Amazing! It is enjoyable and really entertains me

    Publisher's Summary:
    Change keeps stalking Edward Stanton. He and his new wife, Sheila, have retreated to his small house in Montana after an unsuccessful attempt at operating a motel in Colorado. That failure has left wounds, especially for Sheila, and now they face a bigger challenge: pregnancy and impending parenthood.
    Edward begins penning notes to the child (ever precise, he refers to the gestating being as "Cellular Stanton"), as he navigates married life with Sheila, who is unhappy and unfulfilled in Montana; a work partnership with his friend Scott Shamwell, whose own life is teetering; and the emergence of a long-buried family secret, and the effect of this revelation on his relationship with his overbearing mother.
    Even as Edward's world expands, he must confront questions about whom to let in, how much to give, the very definition of family, the fragility of hope, and the expanses of love.
    Members Reviews:
    No spoilers.
    Loved the book. Full of Edward's unique views of his world and of course humour that make Lancaster's first two books such a joy to read.
    I understand that Luke Daniels wasn't available for this audiobook and David Otey does do a great job... But it took me a good few chapters to get used to the change in readings styles. I ended up mostly reading this book instead as I feel he is unfortunately not quite up to his predecessor.
    If Daniels is ever able to come back to read this I would definitely buy it even though I have this copy and a kindle copy. And of course I hope if there is a 4th instalment and we see a return to Daniels' fine work. We can hope...
    I hate to say it was not up to par
    I have LOVED all of Craig Lancaster's novels (can imagine Ed questioning why the same word should be more meaningful simply because it was typed in all caps). This installment was a HUGE (there I go again) disappointment simply because it felt like just that: an installment. "Blah, blah, blah...this is what would happen if our couple were to get pregnant and we would introduce some more characters for future installments." As much of a fan as I am, I will read reviews before downloading the next "Edward" (where they obviously lead with the new daughter and her coming to terms with the mildly odd dad). There was nothing "new" here (as opposed to the first Edward, which was magical). Dare I say it: almost boring. If you have not read any of the previous books in this series, don't do this one (it assumes you know and love and understand the main character from previous novels...otherwise he's simply annoying). If you have read the previous books, prepare to be underwhelmed.
    Why change the reader??
    I took me months to finish this book. I loved Luke Daniels' performance in the first two books. This book was much more flat and tough to get through. The performance needed more depth especially since Edward is evolving quite a bit in this story.
    You Are Going to Laugh Out Loud
    Craig Lancaster continues the hilarious, honest, and moving story of Edward Stanton, a man with Asperger's Syndrome. The focus in this novel is on family and the many faces it possesses.
