#NewRelease The Empty Path By Pamela Gail

 


The Empty Path

Where the Path Leads

by 

Pamela Gail

A New Adult Coming

of Age College Romance

 

 



BOOKS2READ

 

Engagements, marriages, and babies…. When these things are not your own, life can feel… empty.

 Such is the life of Adalyn Haynes. Her best friends move forward with the loves of their lives, while she feels stuck on the path to nowhere. Frustrated and dealing with her own turmoil, the last thing she wants is to burden them and bring down their happily-ever-afters.

 Can love be lost if it was never found?

This is the question that haunts Turner Crosby, sending him into a downward spiral and shattering him at the bottom of a bottle. Full of rage and hurt, he refuses to tell anyone about his struggles, especially not the circle of friends that includes her.
Friendships and loyalties are being tested. Will Turner and Adalyn be able to find the strength to confide, or will they stay silent and alone in the darkness enveloping them?

The Empty Path is book 4 in a continued series and must be read in order. It contains scenes of a delicate and adult nature and is not intended for readers under 18 years of age.

Pamela Gail was raised in the rich, coastal traditions of southeast Georgia. She has been married to her husband, Rick, for over 20 years, and they have two sons. As a wife and mother, she finds solitude and comfort in her creative outlets. Pamela expresses herself through stories that relay her deep appreciation of family and the virtue of life. Her hobbies include writing, reading, listening to music, wine tasting and watching football.


After graduating from college in South Carolina, Pamela returned to her hometown and was blessed with an amazing twenty-year career teaching elementary school. In 2018, she made the decision to leave the only job she’d ever known in order to pursue her life-long dream of becoming a published author.


In addition to writing, she owns two businesses that keep her busy. With little time to relax, Pamela cherishes the free time she has and enjoys spending it with family and friends.

Review: Liar

Liar Liar by Tate James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

DO NOT READ THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU HAVE READ KATE! I REPEAT DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! IT’S NUMBER TWO AND YOU WILL BE SO LOST IF YOU START HERE!

"You motherfucker," he exclaimed. "Seriously? Fuck! I knew I recognized those moans." Steele just laughed. "I don't know what you're talking about, bro." "Sure you fucking don't," Kody grumbled. "I hate you so much right now. Prick."

What the FucK! Why? Why would you do this to me Tate! Are you trying to kill me? Seriously! I’m on the edge of my seat riding along with these four. Damn Archer all to hell! It’s those damn looks! I swear it is.

Does anyone else want Cass as much as I do? I love his gruffness! I can’t stand Zane, he’s so slimy.

These books are making me wish I record videos for reviews because I swear my words just are not enough! Maybe I should start doing that? Youtube anyone?

If you enjoy RH Bully Romance you need to pick this one up today. You won’t regret it!1111111

Review: My Last Hope

My Last Hope

My Last Hope by Katie Richard

My rating: 5 stars

Plot- or character-driven? Character
Strong character development? Yes
Loveable characters? Yes
Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes


Before I even start... I want to say Read the TWs first. There are a few, and for good reason!  I've spent a day trying to put my words into a review, but there is just so much. So, here's what I will say. 

My Last Hope is a heart-wrenching tale about Abby's journey, where she learns to heal after years of abuse from a man who she thought was her best friend. Like most Domestic Violence, she kept hoping her husband would change. He never did. After finally taking all she could, Abby caused an accident, which left her with some new trauma to overcome. 

All in all, it was an amazing story. Richard did not pull punches when it came to telling the perfect story of overcoming trauma and abuse.

Unexpectedly Ruined Release

Unexpectedly Ruined Release


Blurb
It was only supposed to be one night…
After our amazing night in New York, I never thought I'd see my hot Scot again. Months later, Jack's stumbled into my life, proving that fate has other plans for us.
He's the golden retriever of golden retrievers, the cinnamon roll of cinnamon rolls… until we're behind closed doors.
As a romantic suspense author, I'm not qualified to help him on his quest for fortune and glory. Yet, here I am, in a dreary Scottish castle, with a man I'm trying desperately to not fall in love with.
In one night, he ruined me for all other non-fictional men—and fictional men. How am I supposed to survive six months, when we haven't kept our hands off each other since I arrived?

What to expect:
❤️ Adventure Romcom
❤️ Scottish Archeologist MMC
❤️ Romantic Suspense Author FMC
❤️ Billionaire Romance (not him!)
❤️ Interconnected Standalone

Wanted: Personal Assistant with thick skin.

Money makes the world, and James has more than he knows what to do with. Controlled Chaos, that is how he plays, believing that hard work can move mountains.

As a last-ditch effort, they take on two temps from a local agency, the prim Penny and Ariella, a woman whose big D energy matches that of the boardroom bastard.


Irritated and intrigued, can this corporate pitbull chip the ice away and turn up the heat?


Adult Office Romance with a why choose option- Not a YA novel.

Previously Published as Shameless Bastard as part of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward's Cocky World books.
