Risk The Wings Of Sisterhood: by J R Evangelisti

About Risk The Wings Of Sisterhood: by J R Evangelisti:

An inspirational adventurous story about two young women and taking risk.
Julie Pastel learns there are advantages to taking risks. Burkie Vivid learns that fame comes to those that least expects it…as does a true friend.

Julie spouts Shakespeare when annoyed or anxious, never dated in high school, and views the romantic world through books and movies. She comes from a modest background, is not athletic, is on her way to college on Scholarship, never has had a true friend and never takes risks. That is about to change when she meets the outrageous, outgoing, outspoken, wealthy Burkie who
has plans for the uptight Julie to introduce her to the world of dating.

The two end up on a wild road trip across America as they discover a sixty year old mystery regarding Buckie’s aunt. Plenty goes wrong along the way in this heart-warming, edgy, humorous and delightful comedic story as they learn a lot about themselves and what really matters in life…a true friend.
A humorous and touching look at growing up of two young women who seem such polar opposites and find themselves in a series of crazed and comedic situations starting with their appearance for tryouts with the college’s football team. The action goes smoothly and fluidly in this disarming comedy that’s an absolute hoot to read. Dr. Richard is fabulous as the dastardly history professor who is determined to rid the college of athletes, starting with the college’s newest female football players. I also loved the sense of romance and youthful exuberance of their sudden decision to go on a road trip along Route 66 and chuckled at their misadventures along the way. A gem of a sleeper that’s highly recommended. By Jack Magnus for Readers’ Favorite

Cutthroat Cheerleader by Zachary Ryan

About Featured Book: Cutthroat Cheerleader by Zachary Ryan

In the sleepy town of Townsend, Washington, there was an act so gruesome that no one would ever be the same. What heinous crime do I speak of? Skylar Torres thinking she could pull off a crop top with that pudgy body of hers. Oh, did you think I was going to say my murder. Well, I thought it was more sensational than anything else, but the real scandal was who killed me and why.

You should already know my name since it was on everyone’s lips once they found me with my throat ripped out. People thought they should have only feared me, but the Liberty Lion’s cheer squad knew one thing, hunt or be hunted.

No one’s hands were truly clean from all the dirt and blood on them. Be safe, watch your back and always remember, Happy Hunting.

Love
