Given To Me For An Honest Review

Soft Like Steel by Barb Malek is a must read.  It is a short quick read and is the debut novel for Barb Malek.  This book will grab you from pagone, it will hold you down, you will watch the pages turn themselves and turn and turn and turn again until you get to the end.  You will try and put it down but it won't let you.  After the author's grandmother died, her journal was found by family members.  It was this journal which inspired Barb Malek to write this book.  Using this journal and family interviews this book tells the story of Barbara Kennel, her marriage, her husband and her children.  There is historical context also included to correspond to the family's life .... their surviving the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression and WWII.  It is a beautiful story of a journey of hope, love and joy.  You will read a legacy that has been passed on to a family to carry on.  As you are reading this book, you will feel the book drawing you in and you become a part of the book.  This is a great book to read and to own.  I loved it.  I gave this book 5 stars but it truly deserves many, many more.  I highly recommend it to everyone.  For being a debut novel Barb Malek has hit it out of the ballpark with this one.  I hope to see more from her soon.

This book is a must for lady aviation fans.  I know Steel has a reputation for romance, but this book was not cheesy at all.  Pretty entertaining story if a bit rushed a times.  It is about a girl named Cassie and her father owns an airport.  Despite his strong belief that women belong at home and not in airplanes, Cassie struggles her entire life to prove him wrong.  She becomes one of the best pilots in the States.  I love how determined her character was.  When her father refuses to have her in his aircraft, her lifelong friend, Nick, teaches her to fly.  Let me rephrase that.. Nick teaches her not to crash.  Cassie pretty muches teaches herself to fly.  There is love blooming between Cassie and Nick despite a drastic 18 year age difference, but Nick refuses to act on it.  Therefore, when a California aviation tycoon, Desmond, enters the picture, offering Cassie an amazing job test flying his planes and later, marriage, Cassie jumps on the opportunity.  She later regrets her choice as Desomond's true colors come to light. Apparently he married her for all the wrong reasons... Will she realize it before it is too late?

As Cassie prepares to make a worldwide tour, will she finally see sense beyond the flashing lightbulbs of the press?? The only thing preventing this from being a 5 star story is how incredibly naive Cassie is.  She makes all the wrong choices and I wanted to jump in the book and grab her by the chin and say "Cassie, Can't you see what is going on???"  There is death, drama, love, and suspense as Cassie prepares for her tour.  With Amelia Earhart having gone down just three years before Cassie prepares to accomplish the same thing, readers will feel their hearts skip a wondering if the same fate awaits Cassie O'Malley.

This novel ends with the bomobing of Pearl Harbor and America entering world war 2.  Great flying and aircraft details, tho I wish there had been more.

A decent book with a decent ending.

This is book seven in the Steel Brothers Sage and should be read afterSurrender

Helen Hardt has done it again! Here we finally get to know Ryan, the youngest of the Steel boys. This books mostly takes place on an island where Jonah and Talon Steel are marrying the loves of their lives.

Melanie needs a Maid of Honor so she turns to her new friend Ruby Lee, not expecting this virgin with a hot body to fall under the spell of Ryan Steel.

All is well ... until it's not.

Ruby has her own skeletons that she needs help with. Skeletons that are all to close to home for the Steel family.

Can she open up to Ryan?

I sometimes feel like I could talk for days about this series and there's other times where I am truly at a loss for words. I am never disappointed though, that's for sure.

Oh, and I forgot to mention ... expect a cliffhanger!

When Chiyo wakes up in a strange world, dressed in pajamas, she's unprepared for the violence and danger that await.  How did she get there?  Why did someone pluck her ordinary life with a husband and young daughter?  Fortunately Chiyo meets two samurai warriors, Senka and Muhjah.  Without knowing how to fight, the girl grabs a sword and jumps into the bloody battle to save herself.  She gains a grain of respect from the warriors, who let her tag along in their journey.

She's landed in a cruel world, filled with death, destruction, and unjust treatment by the rulers.  Can Chiyo learn to survive while she searches for a way to return to her own world and find her family?  This is not a fairytale where the lost princess finds a knight to fight her battles and lives happily ever after.  This is a gritty tale of hardship and determination.  Chiyo must swiftly learn to wield her own sword and steal herself against the revulsion of killing.  She works hard and becomes good at it.

Chiyo joins the expert swordsmen to fight "hit and run" skirmishes against cruel rulers.  Although survival fuels her efforts in the beginning, revenge becomes her motivation to live and fight day after day.  Chiyo becomes a legend, and religious zealots seek to use her as a weapon to restore their power.

This is not a typical sword and sorcery tale.  There's plenty of bloody fighting, gruesome battles, dramatic sword play, and distasteful torture.  Chiyo is not an ordinary beautiful damsel in distress.  She dives in and wields a sword, learns to cultivate the "monster" inside that enjoys fighting, and wins one battle at a time.  Chiyo won't let others control her destiny, and uses her own sorrow and anger to wreak a just revenge.  It's a "fairytale" worthy of the Brothers Grimm but not one fit for children.
