This is the second book in the Sage Seed Chronicles and I think it is important to read book one first to understand the background on all of the different people involved.
When a deadly virus hits the city of Yerra, Mayor Mossel is desperate for any assistance in finding a cure as people are dying in the city. Help comes from an unlikely source with Ree, a Sage who is just coming into her powers and learning more every day. With guidance from Catri she is able to get help from her environment in learning how to develop medicine.
But not everyone is pleased with Ree and her solutions and someone else believes that they know everything and should be where Ree is.
There are also problems within the community as someone is creating fake badges and they need to figure out who before a disaster strikes.
Will they discover everything in time or will the virus take over completely?
I really enjoyed this second book in the series as it is very unique. I love how it's almost a historical fiction book based on how the people are getting their knowledge and trying to discover things yet at the same time it's almost futuristic. I love how the Sage's are able to learn from what is around them in the environment and I find the books so peaceful and naturalistic to read.
I loved Ree and how she began to learn about her abilities and the good use. She has such innocence and great knowledge at the same time. I also liked how we got to visit with the characters from the first book and were able to catch up with everyone.
This is such a great book and I am really looking forward to the next book in the series!! Great job Ms.Barbo!!

My review of The Wedding Promise by Karen Rose Smith
Beth Crandall was born Lynn Thaddeus, but after being kidnapped and then adopted she has just found her birth parents, Max and Amanda, again and is trying to repair their relationship. She feels guilty that she still refers to her adoptive parents, Irene and Roger, as mom and dad while calling her birth parents by their given names.
As Beth tries to heal from her past she asks Dr.Samuel Benedict to help cover a scar she received in her past. Beth is attracted to Samuel but knows he works overseas for much of the year and therefore is probably not the man for her.
As Beth works through getting to know her new family she wants to reconnect to a friend from the past and will use the resources she can to get information but maybe it will bring her more trouble.
I enjoyed this book and felt like it contained a lot of information. I found other than Sam and Beth we got to know the others but not as indepth as I would have liked with how much they appeared. It almost felt like the author tried to put so much information in that we almost had too many sub-stories.
I enjoyed getting to know Beth but I felt like with so much other stuff going on that we never got to know her as much as I would have liked. She had so much stuff happen to her that I felt like we almost didn't get to know the real her beneath everything. She was so concerned about pleasing others that we lost a bit of her.
I would have also liked to know a bit more about Samuel as well. I know about his past growing up but still felt as though I didn't get to know him as much as I wanted.
I really hope that the author has another book with these characters as I really would like more of them.

My review of Dustin Time by June Kramin
Kaitlyn is a veterinarian with her own practice and is happy with her current boy-toy Dustin Andrews who is 5 years younger then her. On her 30th birthday Kaitlyn decides she needs to break up with Dustin but things don`t go as planned as Dustin believes that they are meant to be.
When Kaitlyn wakes up she finds herself in her past and begins various time changes that keep placing her at different times in her life with the only constant being Dustin. As she learns more about their love she realizes where she wants to be but has she changed the past so much that it has affected their future?
I really liked this book and found I was good with all of the time changes in the book and honestly felt so bad for Kaitlyn as she seemed to miss so much of her own life by jumping around.
I really loved Dustin and how devoted he was to Kaitlyn at every point in the story and he had such a great personality. I loved the countless events that involved cinnamon!!
I also really enjoyed the strength that the two of them had with their support for each other! They were happy no matter where they were as long as they were together.
Such a great story about age truly just being a number.
