Released! Trailer Brake Romance, Doris and Gerald didn't know each other, but they knew their suffering with the loss of the love of their lives. Doris's husband, Joe, was gone and she spent her hours after work at home and in front of the TV. Gerald's wife, Linda, died of cancer and he sat at the dining room table with a stick pin and his hand hovered over the next destination, but he had no idea where to go next with his love gone. Their kids told them not to sit, heartbroken over their loves, but to get on with life.
So, they helped them hook up their travel trailers and get on the road. Doris and Gerald challenges were too much for them, but together, they just might overcome and fall in love again.
Released! Rodeo Clown, Emmett's a hot headed and hot body cowboy who rides bulls at the rodeo, drinks until drops, and fights at the drop of his hat. Michelle, his sister, was the only person who had any say over his bad cowboy attitude until William moved into a home down the road from them. To save Emmett after a deadly bull ride, William will have to decide if he wants to reconcile his dark past, save their friendship, and give up his savings.

Every child starts off as a story teller. Michael's family lived in west Ft. Lauderdale, FL out near the everglades. He was a fort builder, horse rider, hiker, adventurer, Disney park nut, party-goer, bad at math in school kid, 80's child--David Bowie-Let's Dance, Prince-1999, Billy Idol-Rebel Yell, Neil Diamond-America, all the movies that made us human--Sixteen Candles, Uncle Buck (GIANT PANCAKES), Duckie from Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club geek, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science (mall scene), Stand by Me - Gordie Lachance (You have to ask?), Foot Loose (Yeah!), The Goonies (LOVE adventurers), and a closet case hanging with his gal pal at Backstreets and at Cathode Rays on the "other side of the tracks! in FTL"
Michael joined the Air Force. I did basic training in Texas and then traveled to California to Asia to South America to Europe, an island in the Pacific, and an island in the Mediterranean.
He traveled throughout Europe and will be in Paris April 2025 for more stories! His friend in Poland does not get Polish jokes! His other friend lives in Colmar, France where the Alsatian wines are brewed.
His romance stories are against the odds like the angry aunt who thinks a boyfriend soon to be husband should be thrown to the curb or the Roman soldier who battles barbarians for the love of his witch, the protagonist overcomes! Some stories don't always end with a happy ending, like China Town, but life is that way.

I won this title in a Goodreads Giveaway.
Each family member in this book is so realistic. They could very easily be the family next door. That was a definite breath of fresh air.
The supernatural spin was fantastic. I became immersed in that dark world; rooting for the family and that lost little boy.
Bravo.

Interesting premise, but I didn't care for the writing style. Most of the time characters don't speak in complete sentences and the author must have some kind of fascination with farting (especially when used as a weapon).

I won this book as a Goodreads giveaway
OMG.. This book just pulled me in!! I loved the story and the plots and the intensity of it.
It all starts when a family moves into this house and are excited to be in their new home. When mom is counting the number of windows to buy shades, when you counted inside the house and outside the number of windows did not match. This brings them to what and where is the room for that last window. I could not put this book down and I ended up staying up much to late cause I had to finish it. This was the first I have read from this author, but I am going to look for his other books now!

Loved the book!! This is the first book I read by this author. I found it to be increasingly engaging. The twists and turns and unexpected events throughout the story result in a read that it’s hard to put down. This was an excellent read that kept me on my toes from the first page to the last. I highly recommend this book.

DNF-- 5% This book has been on my list for a while. It has a good premise and I love horror. But what in the middle school hell was with all the fart jokes? Author's fetish? I couldn't get past it.

Alright, I won this ebook through the Goodreads Giveaways a WHILE ago and just got around to reading it. When I started I was immediately sucked into this world, this nightmare or a story. I mean that in the best way! It kept me so captivated that I finished this 340 page book in a day… I did not care too much for the writing style and the grammar and spelling error stuck out to me like a sore thumb. I very much loved this story and not only found myself openly gasping and feeling for this family but also for the little boy, Bjorn and his struggles as well.
Great premise and amazing story. Took a while turn at the end that I was not at all expecting and the actual ending was a bit weird and felt a bit rushed and last minute but man, that lead d up.. fantastic.
