Empire (Eagle Elite #7) By: Rachel Van Dyken Published: May 31, 2016 376 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: I have lost everything.  My purpose.  My love.  My soul.  Death knocks on my door, I want to answer, but every time I reach for the handle--the promise I made her, brings me back.  So I breathe.  I live.  I hate.  And I allow the anger to boil beneath the surface of a perfectly indifferent facade.  I am broken, I dont want to be fixed.  One last trip to New York, one last chance to redeem a lost part of the mafia family. The Empire is crumbling and it's my job to fix it, my job to mend the pieces that were scattered over thirty years ago.  The only issue is, the only way to fix, is to do something I swore I'd never do again.  An arranged marriage.  Only this time.  I won't fall.  Or so help me God, I'll kill her myself.  My name is Se...

Elude (Eagle Elite #6) By: Rachel Van Dyken Published: July 9, 2015 341 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: This book is the sixth book in the internationally bestselling Eagle Elite Series. It's an interconnected stand alone novel with no cliffhanger. Twenty-Four hours before we were to be married--I offered to shoot her. Ten hours before our wedding--I made a mockery of her dying wish. Five hours before we were going to say our vows--I promised I'd never love her. One hour before I said I do--I vowed I'd never shed a tear over her death. But the minute we were pronounced man and wife--I knew. I'd only use my gun to protect her. I'd give my life for hers. I'd cry. And I would, most definitely, lose myself, to a dying girl---a girl who by all accounts should have never been mine in the first place. I always believed the mafia would be my end game--poisoning my heart, while it claimed my soul. I could...

Still behind schedule for my reading goal, but narrowing that gap every day. We celebrated my daughter's 13th birthday this weekend with all the extended family. A couple weeks past her actual birthday but it turned out to be perfect weather! A lot on the chilly side if you were just sitting outside, but for those of us playing volleyball it felt good. Lots of laughs and a great time! And now thankfully the kids have all w...

But man, those 600+ page books just take me forever to get through! Since I don't have much time to devote to reading and I'm typically so exhausted when I lay down at night, my reading pace is slow right now.

It was round one in the state playoffs and we lost 42-24. So that also means it was my son's last marching event of the season. It's always bittersweet at the end because I so love watching him in his element, pure joy coming off his face when he performs with the band.
