5 STARS for To Love or Protect

 

 A brilliant combination of special ops excitement, 

                  and vampire adventure. 

 5 STARS

 To Love or Protect by Faith V. Smith is a great read, both entertaining on a fast action level and with a true-love-forever story we all wish for. 

   How can Kira guard this unbelievably handsome man when he’s way too ready, willing, and able to sacrifice himself to keep her safe.

   Kira, a former Marine now part of the U.S. Secret Service, is assigned to protect the President. Gareth Hayes, Commander and Chief and ex-Army Ranger, has doubts and concerns about a woman taking a bullet for him. But unbeknownst to Gareth (who finds Kira extremely and distractingly sexy) this woman comes with an extra talent, she’s also a VGP—Vampire Government Protector. 

     When a revenge seeking enemy tries his best to kill the both of them the story ramps up in page turning tension with love scenes hot enough to scorch the pages or melt down your e-reader. 

    The other VGP’s in this story are wonderfully interesting and entertaining and give a different slant on vampires as they apply their talents to helping Mankind around the world. It made me wish I had one for a friend, especially Claude the chef. 

    The road to love between Gareth and Kira is anything but smooth but it is also undeniable and unstoppable. 

    To Love or Protect is well written and researched and you’ll feel you are right there in the heart of D.C. while you happily accept vampires as total reality.

A COWBOY’S FATE 5 stars/ from Darlene @ Between the Pages/Still Moments Magazine 

    A fun and entertaining story with a picturesque setting. You’ll bounce around the wagon with the charming main characters as they travel the bumpy terrain. Romance, drama, and adventure rolled into one. I was disappointed when the story ended because I wanted the journey to continue. A must read.

Clover City, Colorado—1888
A mysterious letter and the drop-dead handsome town marshal, are the last things Mariah expects to find making rounds as a midwife. 
Mariah McAllister plans to be married before her next birthday. Too bad Marshal Virgil Kincaid barely knows she’s alive. Not one to give up easily, she’s determined to show him she has an abiding passion for more than her work.
Virgil Kincaid loved a woman once—after she broke his heart, he spent three years in prison. Women can’t be trusted, no matter how good they look. He’s sworn off relationships in favor of Saturday night poker games. Life is simple—the way he wants it…until a stranger turns up dead in the road. 
Forced to work side by side with Mariah, Virgil begins to wonder if she might be his second chance at love. As they trade kisses and oh so much more, he’s willing to take the gamble. But when a killer threatens their once peaceful town, all bets are off.

Because it is such a prevalent part of our everyday lives, Sara sees cloth as a universal visual access point. For this reason Sara uses hand made alternative fabrics as her main medium with which to create sculptures, architectural garments, wall pieces, and installations. Her work aims to alter the viewer’s perception and interaction with space, while providing the viewer a moment to try on an experience and interact with cloth in an unexpected way.

No matter the season, Lynette Errante can be found picking wildflowers, shrubs, or leaves and incorporating them into functional pottery. Each piece of pottery she makes is unique in that she picked each flower from a certain region, trail, or town in Colorado. Lynette believes immersing yourself in nature is incredibly grounding and incorporates these natural elements into her pottery to feel grounded. She shares her work with loved ones and strangers in hopes that each person can feel closer to nature and themselves.
