AWESOME!
That one word describes the whole book: AWESOME!
Phew, what a great read! What an action, suspense, adrenaline filled read!
Everytime I read a new book by Ronie Kendig I'm convinced it was her best yet.
Canyon Metcalfe is a guy I could easily love. Maybe because he's a bit like my husband. :) None of his problems are related to my husband, but the way he handles things is alike, so that says a lot about Ronie's excellent imagination!
Danielle Roark was captured, tortured and raped in Venezuela. She escaped with shocking proof that the cruel general that kept her for six months has secret weapons, but at home the American government doesn't believe her. She has to go back to that awful place to come up with more proof.
Canyon's brother rescued Danielle out of the ocean when she escaped Venezuela. He falls in love with Dani, but she's not interested in men—until she meets Canyon. Canyon likes her too, but because of a promise he made to his brother he can't pursue her. Things get complicated when Nightshade must escort Danielle back to Venezuela. Can Canyon live up to that promise?
Is Nightshade capable to find the proof and keep Danielle safe?
This book is so fast paced that you hardly have time to take a calming breath before the next action.
Action- adventure- military- suspense and romance lovers--this book is for you!
Ronie's book can be purchased at CBD, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other book stores.
Wolfsbane won Ronie the coveted Christy award (read story.) Congrats to Ronie Kendig!

DIANA - LOL Love your comments. Glad you liked the cover--I'm working on an interview with the male model of this cover. He actually contacted me after he did the photo shoot. He's a personal trainer/bodybuilder in Oklahoma. Very nice guy, recently engaged.

Mom CARRIE, I WAS in bed! ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad, MARIAN. Now she's asking me if I'm drinking my water. :) On a more serious note, it really is nice to have a friend that cares about you, like CARRIE does. I'm sure her ears were burning last night as I was telling my sis in law all of CARRIE'S attributes. She said she wished she had a friend like that, outside of the family, and I realized once again how very blessed I am to have CARRIE as my friend.
ReplyDeleteAnd RONIE is blessed to be having an interview with this body builder/model/fitness trainer! AHEM ;)
Love your novels, Ronie, and would LOVE to win! Thank you for a great interview and the chance!
ReplyDeleteWolfsbane is on my wish list. I keep hearing what a great book it is and can't wait to read it.

ReplyDeleteI have three extra moms in the US, including you DIANA. Mother TERESA is calling me 'daughter' already, so I feel very loved and appreciated. ;)
ReplyDeleteCARRIE, I was asleep at the time you told me to go to bed. ;) I took an extra dosis Tramadol and used my heating blanket (yes in summer!) and slept well for a couple of hours. Thanks for the prayers!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit better today, but still can't read, because of the dizziness. :( I'm going to download another audiobook!
CARRIE, yes, and as a matter of fact, I'm starting to float!
ReplyDeleteMELISSA-I just wanted to say how much I love your blog! You are awesome and courageous, and one of my real life heroes, or should I say heroines? :)
CARRIE, when you open a Kindle book, it will begin with chapter one, but when you page back you will find the cover!
