Handsome U.S. Marshal Rafe d&#8217;Angelico seems like the answer to her prayers: he is, after all, an Angel. In a race against time and evil, Rafe has one chance to save Jenni&#8217;s life and her soul from the Dark One \u2013 but can their love survive?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you enjoy time travel stories read <strong>TIME PLAINS DRIFTER<\/strong>! If you\u2019ve never read a time travel book, or don\u2019t think you want to\u2026READ <strong>TIME PLAINS DRIFTER<\/strong>! The time travel is the most realistic explanation for time travel I\u2019ve read and then you add in the paranormal elements tied to Rafe, and really Cheryl Pierson lassoed it all together so beautifully you just have to read it. Rafe d\u2019Angelico is rugged, tortured, and swoon worthy (I actually swooned\u2026 more than once) the perfect old West lawman. Jenni, from present day Oklahoma, is gutsy and determined enough to hold her own in 1895 Indian Territory. The only thing I can say against Jenni is she gets Rafe, and here I was reading up on time travel methods. The secondary characters are legendary, and if Rafe and Jenni weren\u2019t such a fantastic hero and heroine the others could steal the show. Heart pounding action scenes and love scenes, good versus evil (and did I mention a swoon worthy hero) make <strong>TIME PLAINS DRIFTER<\/strong> a must read!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Time-Plains-Drifter-ebook\/dp\/B005DEZWK6\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1333543439&amp;sr=8-2\">Time Plains Drifter (Amazon)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/time-plains-drifter-cheryl-pierson\/1104427358?ean=2940011407048&amp;itm=2&amp;usri=times+plains+drifter\">Time Plains Drifter (Nook)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to check out Cheryl&#8217;s other fabulous stories available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords!

Elizabeth Lane brings readers a story to grab a cup of coffee or tea and get swept away. Flynn O\u2019Rourke is kind, generous, but don\u2019t worry he\u2019s still tough enough to take on the bad guys. Oh, and did I mention he smolders (literally I smelled smoke and realized it was my Kindle). \u00a0His interactions with Sylvie and her young brother are so tender you\u2019re sure to melt. I was a bit worried when I read the blurb that Sylvie might be a bit flighty or annoying in her innocence, but Elizabeth Lane did a wonderful job of making Sylvie loving and innocent, but also an intelligent young woman whose strength is in her heart and her determination to protect those she loves. You end up rooting for these two to overcome all that stands between them and find their happily ever after.\u00a0<strong> THE LAWMAN\u2019s VOW<\/strong> is a bit different in that it\u2019s not a shoot \u2018em up Western, but this is a story you\u2019re sure to enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Lawmans-Harlequin-Historical-ebook\/dp\/B006QADPZ0\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1333543581&amp;sr=1-1\">The Lawman&#8217;s Vow (Amazon)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-lawmans-vow-elizabeth-lane\/1105680727?ean=9781459223295&amp;itm=1&amp;usri=the+lawman%27s+vow\">The Lawman&#8217;s Vow (Nook)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Below are three of my favorites from Elizabeth Lane&#8217;s vast selection.
