Marni (wonderwmn999) The group has been approached by author B. Kristin McMichael for a Read 4 Review of her book To Stand Beside Her by B. Kristin McMichael To Stand Beside Her.

WARNING: THIS BOOK DOES NOT HAVE A HAPPILY EVERY AFTER ENDING! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DO NOT POST A REVIEW STATING YOU WOULDN’T HAVE READ IT IF YOU HAD KNOWN THIS BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN TOLD!

To be the best courier in the world, eighteen-year-old Benét Leila follows three simple rules: always work alone, never stay in one place too long, and never fall in love. Too bad she didn't follow her own advice.

Leila is a courier. To the people she takes from, she is seen as a common thief; to the people she helps, she is a savior.

Nalick is your typical king. He's rich, powerful, and always assumed to be right. When Leila crosses paths with King Nalick, she finds herself trapped. In a rush to save her best friend Kay from a prison sentence for a crime Leila committed, Leila trades her hand in marriage in exchange for Kay’s freedom.

Tomboy Leila does not want to grow up, but in three months’ time, she will be married to King Nalick, if Nalick can keep his end of the bargain. First, Nalick must make Leila fall in love with him, a hard task since Leila is not ready to love again after losing her first love to a greedy king. Second, Nalick must keep her safe. He is not the only king trying to hold onto her. Leila has made many enemies over the years, and even more admirers that want her as a prize. Lastly, Nalick must convince Leila that ten years of love is better than a lifetime without. Unless Leila can trust her destiny, she might not reach her wedding day at all.


The author will be giving out 15 copies in all formats available through Smashwords. She will be emailing you the link and coupon code for the book. If you do not have a Smashwords account you will need to open one to be able to read this book. There is no charge for opening an account and it’s quite easy to use. To request, please post your email address. It is your responsibility to check for the book and download it. It is also your responsibility to contact me immediately if you do not receive the book or have a problem. In exchange for the free book, the author requests an honest review of her book not just on Goodreads, but also on Goodreads, Amazon USA, UK, Barnes & Noble and any of your blogs or reviewing sites. Once you are finished with your review and have posted it on Goodreads, you are REQUIRED to post your Goodreads link to it on this thread.

Even though this book is being gifted to you please do not share it with anyone. It is unethical, disrespectful and illegal to share books provided to you for reviews.

Further Info from the group, not the author: If you do not complete the e-book within the time given, and you do not post your link on this thread or I do not hear from you stating that you intend to finish and review the book, you will not be allowed to participate in future Read 4 Review events. This is to prevent people from getting complimentary books over and over without fulfilling their obligation.

Do not message me nor the author requesting the book. All info is to be posted here. This for the ease of the author and the mods and fairness to all. If you do not wish to share your email publicly, please do not request.

If there are any other authors looking to do this with our group, please message me. You MUST be willing to provide copies, free of charge, to the reviewers.

REVIEWERS: PLEASE read the topic titled "Reviewers." All the rules are listed under there. We will not allow any excuses of "I didn't know" because the rules are listed and if you have any questions you can always message me. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

Deadline for review is 11:59pm EST on 5/30/13 (May 30th).

For joining? I normally don't, but this really interested me since it's not a happy ending. I get tired of the wrapped in a bow and sealed with a kiss stories.


Marni (wonderwmn999) 5 copies left.

Kasey | 284 comments I'm nervous that it doesn't have a happy ending! I don't have to have one to be satisified with a book. Of course at least I know going into it so I won't expect one lol


message 33: by B. (new)

B. McMichael (bkristinmcmichael) | 23 comments Saraz- I sent you an email

Kasey- it's not a bad ending, just bittersweet is the best way 've heard it described.


Kasey | 284 comments http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Here is my review, I have to admit I really loved this book. I've been thinking about it all day since I finished it last night. Amazing.
