Playing with Purpose: Mariano Rivera: The Closer Who Got Saved


Playing with Purpose by Jesse Florea

  • Paperback: 144 pages
  • Publisher: Barbour Books (March 1, 2013)
  • Language: English
  • ISBN-13: 978-1620298213
 My Review .

 Mariano Rivera has broken many records and holds many titles as well.
All Mariano wants to do is throw strikes.
Getting them out as soon as possible , and he succeeds. This book states many milestones in his career. Mariano Rivera started as a Yankee and til this day remains a Yankee.
When he enters the game you can tell he’s in full concentration and gets the job done. Read about his life and colored pictures.
Who knew as a kid being a great rock thrower from Puerto Caimito would land him on a baseball field.
Mariano Rivera enters the field with the tune of Metallica,”Enter Sandman.”
That became his entrance music in 1999.
#42 will always be remembered as a pitching legend of the New York.
I recommend this book to any one . Mostly a Yankee fan would love it as much as I did.

4 stars out of 5

A Touch of Honor (The Honor Trilogy #1)
Author: J.P. Grider
Theme: Paranormal (Teen Romance)

Honor Stevens is no ordinary seventeen year old girl, whom struggles daily with constant physical pain. Doctors run tests and scans and find nothing. Ethan Sutherland the new mysterious loner boy at school with blonde hair and violet eyes that always seem to be staring constantly at Honor. After one day at school Honor suffers from an intense migraine and fed up with Ethan’s constant stares, she confronts him. ”What is it you want from me?” Honor beginning to feel fear rise up her throat. Ethan nods. “I want to be sure you’re okay,” he says to her softly. “Really? You’ve been watching me and following me in the hallways…and…in the library parking lot just staring at me when I was walking in these past two days..just to make sure I am okay?” His head drops in shame. “You saw me…at the library?”
“Yes.”
“And you didn’t report me for following you?” he asks, looking back up with a smile pasted on his face. From that moment on a friendship develops. Spending a lot of time together Honor opens up to Ethan and tells him everything. Ethan helps Honor discover that she’s an empathy, feeling other peoples pain. Feelings deepen and grow between the two and Etan’s older brother Storm shares the same feelings his brother feels for Honor. This irritates Ethan and warns Honor. I got lost in this story every time I read more and more that I can actually picture it as I read further, feeling real.

I got lost in this story every time I read more and more that I can actually picture it as I read further, making it so real .
J.P. Grider’s “A Touch of Honor” takes you into her world with her character’s and scenes that get you hooked. I was floored by J.P. Grider’s creativity skills in keeping me interested in reading til the last page and succeeded. I highly recommend this book to any one up for a great story, this you must read.

BREACH My Review




BREACH
MY NOVEL REVIEW


Recommended for: to every one

Read in March, 2013 — I own a ARC copy, read count: 1

Novel Details.
Delilah Palmer has control of her life and outward personality, blocking the truth just below the surface. A façade meant to be normal and hide the scars of her childhood. She’s made a good life for herself, became a lawyer, and is free from the tortured past that haunts her daily. Until he comes along and breaks open the cracks.
Nathan Thorne has a past of his own. On the surface he is loved by all, personable, extroverted; everything Delilah isn’t. Hidden beneath is a dark and tormented man that only Delilah has to power to unveil.
Crammed in a small office together they see through each other’s masks, and the draw becomes too much, igniting an explosive relationship. Holloway and Holloway Law has a strict non-fraternization policy, forcing them to conceal their breach. Despite their efforts, separation becomes impossible, deceptions escalate, and Nathan has trouble coping; teetering on the edge of being overtaken by his past demons.
What secrets does he harbor that could keep him from giving in? What keeps him from healing and moving forward? And Delilah, where does she fit into all this turmoil?
Can they accept love and deal with all the trials that come their way when secrets are exposed? Or will they fall through the cracks of their pasts and be consumed by all that haunts them?

                                                                                                                       (Summary from Goodreads.)
My Review.
Nathan’s dirty sex talk that drives Delilah over the edge of arousal.
Slowly secrets start being exposed.
When Delilah’s ex- Andrew that she dated for two years comes back into Delilah’s life.
Andrew and Nathan exchange a brief glares at each other.
Neither of them likes the thought of sharing Delilah and don’t hide that fact.
When Delilah’s friend Caroline from work is the first to find there secret relationship.
Caroline kept their secret a secret being happy for them both.
But when Andrew finds out him and Nathan go face to face full of rage with one another.
Things get out of hand as Delilah want to get them both into her apartment, as Andrew watches Nathan use his key to Delilah’s apartment he blows up.
"He has a fu@king key? To your apartment? Hell no!" Andrew bellowed.
"Andrew! You don't know anything about what’s going on, so shut up!" Delilah defended.
Many things start to go down hill after that for Nathan and Delilah will there feels be strong enough to work through them? I know the answer . I don’t want to spoil it for any one. This novel was addictive and hard to stop reading. This is all kinds of things, sex encounters are hot, mouth hanging open a lot, being shocked too and had me tearing at the emotional things they had thrown at them both.
This novel is a keeper. I loved it so much and enjoyed K.I. Lynn’s great story. I can truly say I can't wait for novel #2.

         GREAT   NOVEL  K.I. LYNN.
*ABOUT THE AUTHOR*

K.I. Lynn born in The United States.
K.I. Lynn spent her life in the arts, everything from music to painting and ceramics, then to writing. Characters have always run around in her head, acting out their stories, but it wasn’t until later in life she would put them to pen. It would turn out to be the one thing she was really passionate about.

Since she began posting stories online, she’s garnered acclaim for her diverse stories and hard hitting writing style. Two stories and characters are never the same, her brain moving through different ideas faster than she can write them down as it also plots its quest for world domination…or cheese.
