Never Too Old For Y.A. & N.A. Books discussion

The group has been approached by author Lena Goldfinch for a Read 4 Review of her book Aire.

"Danger, magic, romance, and royal intrigue, AIRE is a must read!"
—NYT Bestselling Author JESSICA ANDERSEN

A tale of Legends reborn, royal intrigue, and an unforgettable, heart-melting romance that will sweep you away.

Annalisia is a seer, a princess with a courageous spirit—and a soft spot for Legends.

Jovanni is a Legend, a commoner with no patience for pampered royals.

Principessa Annalisia is stunned and conscience-stricken when an unknown enemy mistakenly abducts her maidservant. Determined to find the girl, Annalisia disguises herself as plain Anna and slips away from the palace. She tracks down Jovanni, her maidservant's daring older brother, and they soon begin to search together. As they uncover clues, Anna also discovers a kindred spirit in Jovanni. But would he be so free with her if he knew who she really was? Doubtful. Even so, she reveals her secret gift of visions to him, and in so doing disobeys the orders of her beloved grandmother, the queen.

With Jovanni, Anna can almost imagine she’s like any other seventeen year old girl, free to pursue the longings of her heart. When she learns that he also has a secret—he's a sentinel, an ancient shapeshifter who can take the form of a falcon—it seems as if they were destined to be together, as in the legends of il Sentiro. Though Anna is tempted to wish otherwise, she can’t forget that she’s a princess and it's her duty to marry another. Meanwhile, their hunt leads Anna ever closer to danger, for she herself is being hunted.

A princess and a commoner.

They never should have fallen in love...but they did.

AIRE is a lush, romantic fantasy, inspired by ancient Italy and Turkey.

Sorry, it took me so long. I had a hard time with this one. I really wanted to like the book more than what I did. I still want to thank the author for allowing me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thanks, Sherry. I appreciate that. Not every book is for every person, right? Cheers. And thanks for participating. :)

Here is my review, which I have also posted on the sites Lena has requested.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thanks, Purpkinrose! :)

Reviewers...remember...little to no synopsis and more actual review of the material. Reviews are to get potential readers to decide if the book is or isn't for them.

5 1/2 hours until the deadline and only one reviewer left to complete.

Thanks, Marni!

Lena wrote: "Thanks, Marni!"

Your welcome Lena! Hope you've been enjoying our R4R program.

DONE! http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Posting to the other sites right now! sorry for making you nervous again Marni... I've always been the worst type of procrastinator ;) but I rarely ever miss a deadline.

Awesome everyone! 100% completion! Thank you reviewers and thank you Lena for offering up your work!

Woot! You guys are amazing. :) Thanks so much for all your reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it.

Carol,

Please edit your link. The one you have is to the book itself, we need the link to your review only.

Thanks!

One shortcut I use-- the "rated it 4 stars" (or however many stars) next to a person's name in the comment header goes right to their review.

:)
Lena

Lena,

I'm aware of that, but it is a requirement of reviewers to post their link.

Oh gotcha. :) It seems like such a well-run program, Marni. And a nice group of people. I've been very pleased with the review response.

Thanks, everyone!
