Jackson had only a moment to catch his breath before he came face to face with his past. Here was the reason for his unease. Her glossy brown hair hung to her chin where it curled under and hugged her cheeks. That stubborn chin lifted into the air with challenge. Her eyes sparked blue fire and shadowed pain haunted their depths as she gave him a straightforward look. At five-feet nine-inches, she was tall but still had to look up at him. His heart nearly stopped and then began to race frantically.
"Charlie! You're dead," he blurted. For the first time in his life, he felt faint.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable Western romp with mystery and romance

Who doesn’t love a Western, especially with a dash of mystery, adventure, and romance? The story follows Hayden, a retired SEAL who had inherited a ranch from a great-grandfather on his estranged father’s side. While Hayden has lots of plans for his new ranch, he didn’t count on meeting Ginny, a talented young woman who a.) knows way more about ranching than he does and b.) may actually have a legitimate claim on the ranch as well. What would already be a compelling story of the couple falling in love is livened up even more by the mystery of a hidden treasure on the property and a series of threatening attacks against the ranch’s horses. Who will inherit the ranch? Who is trying to hurt the horses? And most importantly, will they find the ranch’s buried secrets?
I really enjoyed this one, my favorite of Ms. Timidaiski’s since A Soldier’s Honor. The characters, especially Ginny, are complex and lively and enjoyable to watch. While the plot was a bit ambitious for a short novel, it made for a great pace that made me eager to keep reading. I highly recommend the book for readers of Western or military romance. You’re going to love it!
5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful fantasy adventure!

A supervolcano is set to erupt in Yellowstone and it's up to one woman, Tiponi, and her destined mate, Hania, to stop it from happening. It's the 23rd century and the Kahoti tribe which resides in Yellowstone receives devasting news. The supervolcano will erupt unless the one chosen, Tiponi, retrieves the sacred pipe. Tiponi was born Powaqa and is an albino among a tribe of darker-skinned people. She is, in fact, the reincarnation of White Mesa Woman and must fulfill a set of quests in order to save her people. She will be tested but thankfully she has Hania, her spirit warrior, and destined mate, with her on this journey. Can one woman do what must be done to save so many or will she falter under the pressure?
Tiponi is a beautiful fantasy adventure, unlike anything I've read before. Normally, Native American stories take place in either the past or the present, but this takes place two hundred years in the future. Evelyn Timidaiski creates a mythic world and characters I connected with right away. I found myself spellbound by the intricate mythology of the tribe the more I read. Tiponi is a character anyone can relate to. She has flaws and insecurities yet is entrusted with great responsibility. A heroine in the guise of a young woman. The plot moves at a nice slow pace with detailed narration. Every facet of the story is detailed so well, all my senses perked up. The chemistry between Tiponi and Hania is sweeping, as is the romance. I found myself reading late into the night. If you're a fan of native stories set in a fantasy realm, pick up Tiponi. If you're a fan of futuristic tribed stories, you'll love Tiponi. Fans of clans of certain animal stories have to read this book! Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars A pulse-pounding military romance. . .

Navy SEAL Brandon is on a dangerous mission: rescue a medical missionary from the rebels and search for his missing in action best friend. He’s trained to deal with any scenario but he’s unprepared for Dr. Mira Phelps. She’s beautiful, feisty and a handful. When she begs him to help her find a rare orchid to save the lives of many, he’s conflicted. Help comes from an unlikely source but if they’re all going to make it out alive, Brandon must choose between love and his orders.
A Soldier’s Honor is a pulse-pounding military romance unlike anything I’ve read before. Mira is a strong heroine with secrets of her own while Brandon is a soldier relying on his instincts. With an adrenaline-fueled plot and electrifying sexual tension, this is a must read. The action rivals any Chuck Norris film. The realistic story resonates with the reader so much so, it feels like it’s ripped from news headlines. The romance in the midst of all this action may seem cliché but I didn’t feel that way. Mira’s caring nature is a balm for Brandon’s tortured soul. The ending is indeed explosive and very well written.
If you’re looking for an action military romance with emotional depth, pick up A Soldier’s Honor today. Highly recommend and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
