This week we are featuring Michelle Griep. In May
I have read Michelle's latest release A Heart Deceived, which I have reviewed
earlier this week. After reading that awesome book I just HAD to get her other
two novels. I didn't have the time to read or review them yet, but they are on
top of my TBR stack!
The books I'm talking about are Undercurrent and
Gallimore. Today I'd like to share the book covers and blurbs with you.
____________
(Risen Books 2011)
Professor Cassie Larson leads a life her undergrad students hope to attain, until she tumbles into the North Sea and is sucked down into a swirling vortex…and a different century.
Alarik,
son of a Viking chieftain, is blamed for a murder he didn’t commit—or did he?
He can’t remember. On the run, saving a half-drowned foreign woman wasn’t
in his plan.
Ragnar
is a converted pagan shunned by many but determined to prove his Cousin
Alarik’s innocence. He didn’t count on falling in love with Cassie or the
deadly presence of evil that threatens his village in Alarik’s absence.
Undercurrent
is a timeless tale of honor and sacrifice.
(Black
Lyon Publishing 2008)
Jessica
Neale turns her back on everyone the day her husband dies. After conceding to a
vacation in England, a bizarre storm and near-fatal accident alters her
reality.
Colwyn
Haukswyrth, as cold and unfeeling as the armor he wears, is a knight who has
one focus in life-himself. The product of a family rooted in hatred andgreed,
he never understood the significance of forgiveness. Until he meets Jessica
Neale. More vexing and irksome than any wench he’s ever encountered, this
provoking bit of a woman teaches him what genuine love is—a lesson he’ll take
with him to the grave.ality, and she finds herself in the past. When confronted
by a knight bearing the mirror-image of her apathetic heart, it’s a rude
awakening to what she’s allowed herself to become.
GIVEAWAY: A book by Michelle Griep of your choice, and format—international winners ebook only.

You're entered, Maxie!
DeleteMARIAN, what intriguing books! I can't believe you haven't read Gallimore yet?! There is a Castle on the front and it has Knights too, I know that's one of your favorite settings. LOL I need to go get that one right now!! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteI just got GALLIMORE this week, so I haven't had the chance to read it yet. But you're right ... a book with a cover like that I MUST read!! Psst...I think I'll write a medieval romance next. Castles, knights...
DeleteNot sure in what language, tho. ;)
I love that time period. It's always nice to get a better insight of them and realize to write about another era takes lots of research!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Sonja. As far as I know Michelle does her research well.
DeleteThese books sound captivating as well. You have piqued my interest!

Good luck in the drawing, Britney!
DeleteI have wanted Gallimore since... forever and realized I still don't have it. Please put me in the drawing. You've teased me into wanting Undercurrent as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting Michelle this week and giving us a chance to learn more about her and her stories
Thanks for stopping by, Debra! I can't wait to read Gallimore and finish Undercurrent. I'm having vacation soon, so who knows...maybe I can read them then.
DeleteI'd love to be entered into the drawing ... I've had Undercurrent on my to read list for a bit, ever since I read Lisa Bergren's Waterfall, actually (GoodReads said I might like it). Something about time traveling and Vikings sounds like a great mix, hehe :o)

You're like me, Rebecca! I loved the River of Times series by Lisa Bergren. I have a weak for time travel stories AND medievals.
DeleteI had the chance to review Undercurrent in 2011 and loved it :) Michelle has an amazing skill of drawing the reader in, making you care for the characters, and giving you an incredible adventure. She's also fun to know and loves connecting with her reader friends, gotta love writers like her :) Enjoy Undercurrent, Marian, it's a great ride!
ReplyDeleteBlessings all, Kara
