New Release with $10 Giveaway: Eye of the Eagle by Sharon Buchbinder

Eye of the Eagle Tour Graphic
Eye of the Eagle
Series: Hotel LaBelle Series Book 3
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Publication Date: November 12, 2018
One soars like an eagle. One strikes like a thunderbird. But for both hearts, revenge can be deadly when it's nourished.
Anomaly Defense Director and shapeshifter Bert Blackfeather doesn't need a boss with no experience. So what if she's beautiful or gives him a jolt when she shakes his hand? He never plans to get seriously involved with another woman—not in this lifetime.
Phoebe Wagner, an empath with psychometric abilities and an advocate for the deaf, gets more than she bargained for with Bert. One touch and she relives his IED injuries. So what if he's handsome and hot? She doesn't need to add his secrets to her own. Phoebe's are bad enough.
When his niece goes missing from Hotel LaBelle, Bert goes to Montana to help—and Phoebe insists on going with him. Can these two hard-headed people share their darkest secrets in order to work together? It may be the only way to save an endangered child—and their own hearts when Bert's past rears its ugly head.

Guest Post

Here's an interesting guest post from Sharon Buchbinder on bridging the paranormal with reality.
Bridges between Worlds: Science and the Paranormal
Paranormal events have played a role in my life since childhood. I have always accepted this alternate reality that many others do not experience or recognize. Their disbelief doesn’t dismiss my psychic experiences: dreams that come true, that I think of someone–and that person calls, and that I knew my sister was pregnant before she did. In the 1970’s while a psychology major at the University of Connecticut, I participated in telepathy experiments using the now famous J.B. Rhine Zener cards and other images. My “hit rate” as a receiver was statistically greater than chance occurrence. I lived in a haunted duplex in college and could hear the ghost who lived there (my brother could see her). Curiosity and pragmatism took me down the paths of psychology (BA), neuroscience (MA in Psychology), Nursing (AAS) and finally, public health (PhD).
When I participated in the telepathy experiments in college, little did I know the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) work with psychic spies, remote viewing, and the infamous MK ULTRA behavioral modification program was in full swing. I now suspect the experiments were a CIA recruitment tool for psychic talents. Disbanded for ethical reasons, the full text of the Congressional report on MKULTRA, the CIA’s Program on Research in Behavioral Modification 1977 is available online from the U.S. Senate and as a reprint from the University of Michigan. A large scientifically conducted evaluation study found the results of psychic efforts, such as remote viewing, were positive. However, while the statistics were good, the intelligence wasn’t “detailed enough for practical uses in the field”. The military picked up where the CIA left off. As far as the rest of the world was concerned, the Army, Air Force, and Defense Intelligence Agency discontinued their psychic soldier units a decade later—after the MKULTRA debacle.
In my Eye of the Eagle, Bert Blackfeather is the Director of the Anomaly Defense Division in Homeland Security, Crow Native American, wounded warrior—and an eagle shapeshifter. He works within one of the most science and fact-driven agencies in the country. Yet, he heads a division of remote viewers, empaths, telepaths, clairvoyants, jinni hunters, and other agents with psychic or paranormal talents. Why? Because in my world, after 9-11, based on the top-secret recommendations of the Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Committee on Homeland Security, those units were consolidated and moved into his division. Bert manages these talented agents and deploys them on missions to protect our country from acts of terror, both foreign and domestic. Who knows? Maybe the Anomaly Defense Division I created in 2015 is alive and well under another name!

Book Review with $5 Giveaway: Legacy of Evil by Sharon Buchbinder

Book Info

Genre: Paranormal Romance
Links: Amazon
One battle, one outcome. Who will win? Good or evil?
When a wild mustang is shot in Montana, renowned horse whisperer and telepath, Emma Horserider, is called in to calm the herd and find out what happened. Once on scene she is almost killed by a bullet-spewing drone, and calls her black ops brother for back-up.
Emma's help roars into her life covered in tattoos and riding a Harley. Remote viewer Bronco Winchester takes the assignment because he is ordered to, but he wonders what type of assistance, his boss's sister needs. That is until he sees Emma, a valiant Warrior Woman proud of her Crow heritage.
Posing as a married couple, Emma and Bronco go undercover to infiltrate and stop a hate group. Both are anxious enough without the now growing attachment they feel for one another. When the lives of many are on the line, they are not sure if they will live or die—let alone have a chance at love.

My Review

Excelling Writing!

I've only ever read about Native American characters in historical fiction, hence to read it in a contemporary setting, albeit with paranormal stuff like ghosts and psychic abilities, is a real treat. Legacy of Evil has a great plot and conflict mixed in with the romance between Emma Horserider and Bronco Winchester. Not only that but Emma and Bronco are strong, likeable characters that make the reader root for them to find their HEA.
From the first page, Sharon Buchbinder captivated me with the intelligent and loyal equines and the horrendous murder being committed. She went on to hold my interest with intriguing characters in Emma and Bronco, Lucius and Tallulah, Beautiful Blackfeather, Stephanie, Tommy Otterlegs, and Gaucho. There are some serious themes being explored here, including white supremacy, LGBTQ causes and the prejudices they face, making this a novel that's up to the times in terms of the issues facing us today.
Plot-wise, there's enough suspense and action to satisfy adrenaline junkies, and the plot moves the story forward, although I thought the thing with the accountants could be removed. I don't think that sub-plot did anything for the story, and if it were deleted, it wouldn't have affected the main plot. If it was supposed to be a red herring, it didn't do a good enough job.
A truly satisfying read, and perhaps one of the main reasons that kept me reading non-stop page after page was the superb writing of Ms. Buchbinder.
Rating: 5 Stars

An Excerpt from the Book

Take an inside look at Legacy of Evil. Read this sizzling excerpt from the book.
Bronco now stood squinting in the late afternoon sun, knocking at a door with no bell, and waiting for a response. Dogs barked and a window curtain twitched. Good. Someone was home. He adjusted his pack, leaned his head back, closed his eyes, and said, "Any time now." As the words slid out of his mouth, he heard the unmistakable sound of a shotgun being pumped.
Uh. Oh.
He raised his hands. "Don't shoot. I'm unarmed."
Turning slowly to face his fate, his jaw fell open, and his heart rate kicked up a notch from being on the wrong end of a shotgun or from the weapon holder's looks, he wasn't sure. A raven haired Amazon in a tank top, jeans, and metal tipped cowboy boots held the Mossberg 500 in a perfect military stance. Long strands of hair blew across her face in the hot breeze. A large purple bruise bloomed on her left cheek. She squinted her dark brown eyes and gave him a laser-beam once over from his dusty black boots to his sweat soaked do-rag.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
If he hadn't been so intent on not getting killed, he would have spent more time staring at those full, luscious, kissable lips and thinking about how she would taste. As it was, he guessed he had less than a minute to respond before getting blasted into the next county.
