ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 25, 2023

She must regain her memories or lose her love forever.

After defeating her crazed fiancé from the Bolentia Realm, Trinity and her human love, Jayden, are finally enjoying a quiet life at his isolated cabin while she learns how to exist on Earth, despite her still missing memory.

But when Jayden’s artistic success leads them to New York, they unknowingly stumble into a city plagued with nefarious scientists bent on exploiting supernatural creatures like Trinity.

Caught in the middle of a desperate interstellar battle between humans and other Realm beings like herself, Trinity must tap into the deeply buried instincts as a super-skilled Bolentian Guard or lose everything she’s come to love.

•••••

REVIEW:CLIPPED is the second instalment in Lynn Rush’s contemporary, adult WINGED paranormal/fantasy series focusing on nineteen year old Bolentian Trinity Dawkins, and the human she loves, twenty-three year old, artist Jayden Brown. CLIPPED should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of book one CROSSED.

SOME BACKGROUND: Days earlier Trinity Dawkins was found wondering the streets of Berg, Minnesota, a young woman without the ability to see or talk. Rescued by artist Jayden Brown, Trinity will quickly recover but for the strange scars that appear on her back. Falling for Jayden was easy but Trinity was unaware of the true nature of her DNA, DNA that would reveal hidden wings and someone else waiting for her back home.

Told from first first perspective (Trinity) CLIPPED continues to follow Trinity Dawkins as she relearns the who and what of her previous life, in the wake of another attempted abduction. Trinity is not the only Bolentian that has crossed between Realms, and in the wake, the EMA (Extraterrestrial Marshalling Agency), a rogue division of the US Government, is determined to take down, and take control of those they deem a danger and unworthy. On the run, on foot or in flight, imprisoned in a lab to be dissected and tested, Trinity and her fellow Bolentians must come to terms with a perceived betrayal, another suitor for Trinity’s love, and the potential danger everything and everyone poses to the man Trinity has claimed as her mate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and magical secondary and supporting characters. We are re-introduced to Jayden’s agent , Zander; Detective Nicks; Trinity’s cousin August, as well as Bastian and Trystan, Sierra, Devon, Catherine, Shona and Easton; Romah from the Shentak Realm; and Jayden’s ex Grace.

CLIPPED is a story of discrimination and speciesism; betrayal and vengeance, madness and obsession, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is action packed and captivating; the characters are numerous, powerful and energetic; there are no $ex scenes, the romance is mostly implied as the couple are rarely together.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 12. 2022

She had to lose her memory to find her soul…

Pushed through a splice between two parallel Realms, Trinity Dawkins lands in the middle of a busy Minnesota street, literally. The trauma leaves her blind and amnesia-stricken, but she soon finds sanctuary in the strong arms of struggling artist, Jayden Brown.

He’s intrigued by her quirky behavior, voracious appetite, and her incessant curiosity about common things like cars, French fries, and cell phones. But his tolerance is tested when wings unexpectedly burst from her back.

Even worse, the otherworldly enemies she fled make their way to Earth, determined to capture her. Trinity and Jayden are thrown into a battle bound by rules they don’t understand and may not survive.

••••••

REVIEW: CROSSED is the first instalment in Lynn Rush’s contemporary, adult WINGED paranormal/fantasy romance series focusing on nineteen year old angel Trinity Dawkins, and twenty-three year old artist Jayden Brown.

Told from first person perspective (Trinity) CROSSED follows nineteen Trinity Dawkins in the aftermath of ‘crossing’ between two parallel Realms. Trinity Dawkins has amnesia, found wondering the streets of Berg, Minnesota, a young woman without the ability to see or talk. Rescued by artist Jayden Brown, Trinity will quickly recover but for the strange scars that appear on her back. Falling for Jayden was easy but Trinity was unaware of the true nature of her DNA, DNA that would reveal hidden wings and someone else waiting for her back home. What ensues is the slow building relationship between Trinity and Jayden, and the potential fall-out as several people from her home-world come searching for our story line heroine.

Trinity Dawkins has no idea as to the who, what and how of her current predicament but her memories will slowly reveal not all was well in her world, back home. Naïve to the smallest nuances of modern Earth, Trinity must learn the basic of elements, in an effort to survive in a world she knows nothing about. Jayden Brown is an outcast; rejected by his family for his choices in life, Jayden finds himself a reclusive artist who has lost his muse in the face of losing someone he loved. Trinity’s arrival in Jayden’s life stirs up more than his sexual desire but the return of need for paint and draw.

The relationship between Jayden and Trinity is one of immediate attraction but Trinity is almost childlike in her inability to understand and comprehend the modern world, and Jayden isn’t free to pursue our story line heroine. There are no $ex scenes.

We are introduced to Jayden’s agent Zander and his wife Karen; Detective Nicks; Trinity’s cousin August, as well as Bastian and Trystan, Trystan’s mother Catherine, and Jayden’s ex Grace.

CROSSED is a story of trust and understanding, magic and mayhem, acceptance and first love. The premise is engaging and intriguing; the romance is subtle and limited; the characters are magical, energetic and struggling.

In the Penalty Box by Lynn Rush & Kelly Anne Blount – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple / BAM / Book Depository

 

Description:
Willow
Figure skating was supposed to be my whole world. But one unlucky injury and now I’m down…but I’m definitely not out. I just need to rehab–a boatload of rehab–and who’d have thought I could do it on the boys’ hockey team?

Of course, the infuriatingly hot captain of the team seems to think I’m nothing but sequins and twirls. What’s a girl to do but put him in his place? Game on.

Brodie
Hockey is my whole world. I’ve worked my tail off getting my team in a position to win the championships–hopefully in front of major college scouts, too–so what’s a guy to do when a figure skater ends up as our new goalie?

Of course, the distractingly sexy skater thinks I’m nothing but a testosterone-laced competitive streak. And surely she’s only biding her time to heal, then she’s gone. Game over.

 

Review:

It’s been a while since I’ve read any Young Adult stories so took me a while to wrap my head around this one.  Thankfully it was based around my favourite sport of hockey so it helped to pull me in and get me into the story.  In the Penalty Box features Willow a figure skater who suffered a devastating injury that knocks her off the Olympic team and Brodie a star hockey player hoping to make a college team with a full scholarship.  Thanks to a chance meeting with Brodie, Willow finds herself on the town’s hockey team as their star goalie.  Yes a figure skater turns hockey player, I really liked that twist in this story. 

Of course becoming their star goalie isn’t an easy task as at first the guys are hesitant about a figure skater becoming a goalie and she’s a girl to top things off.  However, Willow has a feisty, competitive and spunky attitude about her that quickly wins the majority of the team over.  The more she’s around the guys and playing goalie she learns what it’s like to be on a real team and is enjoying herself.  She finds herself torn between her love of figure skating and the love of hockey she’s developing.  On top of all this she’s hopelessly falling for the teams captain Brodie. 

Brodie is you typical jock on the ice. He’s got everything it takes to be a star hockey player including the charms on and off the ice.  Hockey is his life and his escape from what’s going on in his home life.  If it wasn’t for hockey and his teammates Brodie would’ve been lost like his father after his mom died in a bad accident.  Enter Willow the figure skater, Brodie sees something in her that he believes can transform her into the goalie the team needs.  Convincing Willow that she can do this and helping to train her, Brodie finds himself hopelessly falling for her even though he’s sworn off relationships off the ice. 

Both Brodie and Willow have a lot going on in their lives off the ice.  Willow with her injury and wanting back on an Olympic team and Brodie dealing with his father throwing their lives away after his mom died.  Together they wind up leaning on each other and supporting one another through thick and thin.  Spending all this time with each other both on and off the ice they begin to develop feelings for one another and have to keep their budding romance a secret as the coach put out a no fraternizing with teammates order.  Of course there’s your typical teen drama that happens and the drama that comes about when the team finds out they’ve been lying about their romance.  In the end everything does work itself out and Willow and Brodie get their HEA. 

If you’re a fan of the young adult genre and the sport of hockey then this one’s for you.

Until next time, happy reading everyone!
