A Question of Consequence ReviewMatthew Sterling is a recent Brigham Young University law school graduate and the assistant city manager of Snow Ridge, Utah, a small community in the Wasatch Front. Julia Wells is the newly elected mayor of this predominantly Mormon community. Upon entering the duties of their respective offices, Matt comes to find himself entangled in a web of City Hall corruption. Should Matt "go along to get along" or should he put his reputation, and perhaps his life, on the line. Will Julie believe him or will she believe the supposedly good LDS men who have set out to destroy his credibility? Matt's own tangled life is reflected in a similar situation of an ancestor of his, a Revolutionary War hero when he discovers the personal journal of Major Andrew McBride. The stories of Matt and Andrew are woven together into an impressive and memorable climax. A Question Of Consequence is as thoughtfully reflective as it is engagingly entertaining reading and document Gordon Ryan as a writer of skill and originality.A Question of Consequence Overview

Greystone's Secret: Suspenseful Tale of Efforts to Address Soundness of Thoroughbred Race Horses Review
This very impressive first novel is riveting fiction, but it also is a story that sets the reader down smartly in the midst of the exclusive thoroughbred horse racing world. I found it to be my favorite kind of novel--one that both entertains and (painlessly) informs.

The mystery is indeed reminiscent of the late Dick Francis, whose novels about crime and horse racing are great on both points, as is "Greystone's Secret." The hero, Nathan Hunter, is a solid man of integrity, the kind I knew growing up in the Bluegrass of Kentucky. He is so good that you root for him to get to the bottom of the malice that threatens the family who have been like family to him and the wife he loves so much. In the beginning, you don't quite realize the extent of that malice, but it unfolds in horrifying detail as you read on. By the middle of the book, you are living in the horse world, and you don't want to leave.

But when you do reluctantly leave that world, you take with you a deeper understanding of the dangers to thoroughbreds and what might be done to protect these glorious animals.
Greystone's Secret: Suspenseful Tale of Efforts to Address Soundness of Thoroughbred Race Horses OverviewNathan Hunter does not believe in coincidences-a broken stirrup leather, untied mooring line, Meg Callahan's incredulous fall in a top equestrian event, horses testing positive for illegal substances, and the suspicious barn fire which claimed the life of Meg's grandfather. Then things get worse, confirming his beliefs. Sited on the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay and the outlet of the Susquehanna River, the historic town of Havre de Grace, Maryland was once home to a nationally acclaimed racetrack nicknamed "The Graw". Little did Nathan Hunter know when he first visited the Callahan dairy farm nearby, that what lay buried at the old track would be the key to unraveling a series of sinister events that had already claimed the life of one Callahan and several of their Thoroughbreds. Nathan Hunter's dreams of one day improving the breed of the Thoroughbred horse for soundness are encouraged by Andrew Callahan-a strong, charismatic, dairy farmer who provides Nathan with the father figure he never knew.With Liz, a sharp shooting southern belle as his wife, Nathan is able to overcome his infatuation for Callahan's gifted equestrian daughter, Meg, and-with the help of Callahan resources-pursue his goal.Unfortunately, because of his relationship with the Callahans, someone seems bent on seeing that Nathan's dreams never become reality.When a fire meant to kill Andrew and his son, Eric, destroys the Callahan horse barn and leads to the discovery of a secret hideout for slaves, valuable documents of grandfather Callahan are found which point to ominous acts by a top racing and breeding farm to ruin competition at all costs-including murder.In their efforts to prove the merit of the elder Callahan's breeding program, Nathan, Eric, Meg and Liz become the targets of the same forces suspected of murdering Eric's grandfather; disaster threatens them from Ireland, through Havre de Grace, and right into Professor Nathan Hunter's classroom in Lexington, Kentucky. Although the story is fictional, it is unique in that the author introduces factual data and some basic research to allow the reader to think critically about current practices in racing and breeding Thoroughbreds which may be contributing to breakdowns.Attention is given to Artificial Insemination-not now recognized by The Jockey Club-as a means to assist breed improvement.

According To Plan ReviewShelby and Tank have a tumultuous past...mainly him leaving her for another woman with no warning. Now they are back in each others lives for longer then their last few booty call hookups. Shelby has been assigned a new case, one she knows no one is telling her the whole truth about. Nothing feels right about it, other the Tank shacking up at their house again. Shelby isn't dumb though, and if she can get out from under tank's watchful eye she might be able to unravel the case of the missing socialite Harrison.
Tank never wanted to hurt Shelby, but with her in the cross hairs of a big crime boss, he did what he had to do. Now he's back, and looking to make Shelby his again, but he still can't tel her the whole truth. There are things about him she can't know....for now. When the action hits a little close to home again, is Tank willing to lay it all out there?

LOVED this book. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I absolutely adore Madison Edwards and she has now become a go to author for me. I found According To Plan to be highly engaging, quirky, sexy and just downright fun to read! I loved Shelby and her infectious personality. She was funny and snarky and I just loved her attitude and take on life. She is a no holds barred type of girl but when it comes to Tank she just can't say no. No matter how much her heart doesn't want to be broken again when he leaves her, her body craves him and is drawn to him again and again. I thought her inability to "pull one over" on Tank was hilarious and how he turned the tables on her every time great! She just couldn't understand how he was always one step ahead of her.
Oh my goodness, Tank.....*le sigh*...What can I say? I do love a big hulk of a man who isn't afraid to give a girl whats coming to her. *WINK* He was awesome. His ability of giving Shelby exactly what she needed when she didn't know she needed it was just great. I felt for him having to leave her the first time, but thought his coming back every so often was a bit selfish. He obviously knew how much it hurt her when he left, but he still showed up occasionally for some quick, hot sex and then left again, tearing new holes in her fragile heart. Otherwise, wow, protective, big....heh...and incredibly sexy. Where can I find me one of those?
My biggest gripe with this one is that about half way through the book the story line changes and it threw me for a loop. When the story opens Shelby has been hired to find the socialite Harrison. That is pretty much resolved about the half way mark and then another side story line becomes center show. I would have much rather Edwards have stuck to one main protagonist. I think either story line could have been greatly expanded on if given the chance and I would have liked it much better. As it was things got a big disjointed in the middle with Shelby losing her memory before picking back up again around the 3/4 mark. Though at that point, the feel of the story was a bit different so some readers may not be able to reconnect with the other protagonist.
I enjoyed the action this book provided and thought that Tank lived up to his role as Hero. I also really liked his ability to share his emotions. The sex scenes were SMOKING HOT and were incredibly well wrote. There is no room for imagination with Edwards writing, whoa they were.....just whoa! The book is neatly wrapped up at the end. I can see how some people may not like the neat ending but I loved how it fit in with the story title and so I liked it. Also, I'm a sucker for those happily ever after endings. :)
According To Plan is a great addition to any contemporary romance library! I loved most every aspect of this one and can't wait to see what Madison Edwards churns out next! Let's hope Tank has a long lost brother out there ;)
I give According To Plan by Madison Edwards 4 stars!
Nikki- Ramblings From A Chaotic MindAccording To Plan OverviewWhat do you do when things don't go According to Plan? For starters, you trick, deceive, and lie to the very person who ruined your best laid plans.Welcome to the world of Shelby Stewart, Private Investigator, who's been hired to find Harrison Grant. To complicate matters further, her ex-partner, ex-lover, ex-everything Tank shows up looking for Harrison as well, albeit for a very different reason. Harry is the prime suspect in the grisly murder of a call girl, Lulu, in L.A.That wouldn't be so bad, but Tank plans on staying at Shelby's house, and makes it obvious he's quite willing to help her heat the sheets, again. Shelby knows that sex with Tank is dangerous, fast, and sometimes a little dirty. Now is not the time to become side-tracked. Besides, this job could launch her company into a whole new stratosphere, so it's imperative she remain focused.Frustration becomes Shelby's newest partner as she makes plans to out maneuver Tank in their parallel quest. Tank, on the other hand, is always one step ahead of the game--and is not what, or who, Shelby thought.

Rick Steves' Ireland 2009 ReviewThis is definitely the most entertaining guidebook I have read. The book also gives some excellent suggestions, such as step-by-step guides for areas such as the Ring of Kerry. If you are willing to buy and read through more than one book, I would recommend it as one of those books. If, however, you are only buying one, I would not recommend this book, for two reasons. First, the author focuses on his favorites in Ireland. Although you still have enough to choose from, he does not even mention some of my favorite sights in Ireland. I recommend reading a more exhaustive guidebook so that you can plan your trip based on your own preferences. Second, the author seems to have great affinity for the city. Although all of Ireland is amazing, the time I have spent in the city was the least amazing. The suggestions in this book are a little slanted toward the cities, so they might lead you off track if you prefer less of the city and more of the countryside.Rick Steves' Ireland 2009 OverviewGet to know Dublin on a musical pub crawl, explore the towering ruins of Trim Castle, or stand 650 feet above the Atlantic on the Cliffs of Moher-Rick Steves' Ireland 2009 allows any traveler to experience all that the country has to offer-economically and hassle-free. Rick covers all of the well-known sites, from the Book of Kells to the Blarney Stone, but doesn't leave out where to grab a pint and chat with a local. With Rick's expert advice, historical knowledge, and humorous asides, Rick Steves' Ireland 2009 is tour guide that fits in your pocket.

Nearer Than The Sky ReviewNever has a book inspired so many conflicting emotions within me as "Nearer Than The Sky". T. Greenwood, author of "Breathing Water", has penned an incredibly nuanced story of a family beset by an insidious and dangerous mental illness: Munchausen Syndrome by proxy. This relatively unknown illness goes unreported in so many cases, mostly because it's almost impossible to detect (especially in it's subtler forms), and is hard to prove in a court of law. But it's very real...as real as your baby's next breath.
This is the story of Indie Brown, a woman who wishes that her childhood had never happened. But in the way of all life, nothing is ever completely over and done with. Happily settled into adulthood with her loving and steadfast husband, Peter, Indie begins to be drawn ever so slowly backward into her past when she begins to suspect her sister Lily of causing harm to her own newborn baby. Upon this discovery, Indie realizes that their mother is the one responsible for Lily's illness, as Lily is responsible for her own daughter's mysterious sicknesses.
Writing with poetic insight and incredible subtlety, Greenwood wraps the reader up in the darkness of Munchausen Syndrome by proxy, illustrating its far-reaching effects and ultimately destructive force. Greenwood's characters are multi-dimensional and real, reacting to each crisis in wholly human ways, flawed and believable. With each breathtaking revelation, Greenwood captures the moment with startling clarity and brilliant depiction. Add "Nearer Than The Sky" to your reading list immediately, and grab the tissues. You'll need them.Nearer Than The Sky Overview
