ALEATHA ROMIG ~ STEALTH BOMBER

Upon first reading "Consequences", I felt as if I had been hit with a bomb, and never saw the approaching vehicle of delivery. Like a Stealth Aircraft delivering said bomb, such is Author Aleatha Romig. Stealth Aircraft make it difficult for conventional radar to detect the aircraft successfully, increasing the odds of a successful attack. I was a conventional reader. Aleatha Romig is a Stealth Bomber. She, my friends, successfully attacks in her book, "Consequences. "Consequences" is not a conventional book and, as I found out, not for the weak of heart. Aleatha Romig's twists and turns of events is mindblowing, to say the least. Just when you think that a chapter has a predictible end, she completely turns the events in such a manner that you are, quite literally, sitting aghast wondering "what the hell just happened?" I am in awe of her writing because, as it is quite twisted, it leaves you wanting more. You begin to question your own psyche as you find it difficult to put the book down. You feel like an addict when you look for an opportunity to read "just one chapter, really!" You turn into a night owl when you see that it is, now, 3:00 a.m. and you can't leave Claire to the devices of Tony Rawlings. This, my friends, is Aleatha Romig's "MO". She sees you approaching her book, she knows you are unaware of the tale she has spun within the cover, she imagines you opening the book and - BAM!! - she drops the bomb of that first chapter!! You are then, done for. My sympathies are with you. I, too, am a victim, as are four of my family members, The B&B Book Review that started as a result of our endless conversations of Tony and Claire, and the endless (really, endless!) friends and family that I have told of her books. I, truly, believe that Aleatha Romig is a great writer. I was honored to review "Consequences", and the link is at the top of this page. I am happy to be part of this Blog Tour and I am thrilled to have gotten to know Aleatha. She is a genuinely kind person (not at all like Tony, thank God!) I look forward to many more books in her writing future!

"RAINE MILLER ~ ROMANCE WEB WEAVER"

I would ask that you close your eyes and imagine a beautifully woven, and intricately spun, spider's web.  One that has just been moistened with morning dew and is glistening in the dawn's rays of sunlight. Picture how it sparkles as it catches a breeze and draws your attention to a different, and unique, twist of where it would bend and sway differently.  Your attention is constantly drawn to something new, different, or idiosyncratic.  THIS is how I see the writings of Raine Miller.  Darius and Marianne; Ethan and Brynne; Jeremy and Georgina; their stories, and the details of their stories, are all woven through the intimate Web of Romance Writer, Raine Miller.  I, personally, have never read an author who so beautifully weaves contemporary and historic stories so well.  I feel transported to the places and surroundings in each.  I feel as if I know each couple as I stroll through the journey of their courtships and love.  I feel privileged that Ms. Miller includes us in walking through their lives.  These are her romance gifts to us, her readers.
Among the gifts she shares with us is a thirst for knowledge.  She so delicately piques our interests with the details of her stories.  I found that I diverted into interesting areas of photography, art, antique jewelry and literature.  All part of the beautiful web Ms. Miller spins around us as we engage ourselves into the details of her love stories.  I found myself going to her blog to investigate what the true origin of photographs and paintings were.  I Googled "David Gandy" to get a mental picture of Ethan Blackstone.  I did a web search for the writings of John Keats and exposed myself to same.  I, then, was silently touched as I witnessed a gift transcend centuries, through Raine Miller's stories, from Darius Rourke to Brynne Bennett.   In short, reading a Raine Miller romance is not merely the reading of a book, it is both a transportation and education IF you allow it to be.
The final gift I see in the Web is in the journey of healing.  We are invited to travel that journey with Marianne, Georgina, Brynne and Ethan.  If there is truth to the statement "True Love Conquers All", you will find this message firmly within the pages of Ms. Miller's stories.  They are stories of hope.  They are not pretty.  They are love in all it's ugliness and how love is used as a tool.  As with any tool it serves to rip, tear and beat away at the raw to reveal the treasure within; the unconditional gift of those it serves ~ the love.
For those who appreciate the romance of Raine Miller you will understand this text.  For those of you who have not had the experience of a Raine Miller romance add these titles to your summer reading list.
To Raine Miller ~ may you always be filled with exciting characters and the ability to share them with those who love them.  I, and the members of The B&B Book Review, are avid fans.
