When the long walk from Seattle to Key West finally nears an end, Alan Christoffersen must return to the west and face yet another crisis just as he has begun to heal from so much loss.

This is the 5th and last book in this series.  When I started this series, I didn't know if I would like it, but I quickly became a huge fan and couldn't get the next book quick enough.  This concludes his walk across America, but first he must deal with more heartache and a pause in his walk.  When he finally reaches his goal, the ending is very touching and worth the wait!

Alan Christoffersen decided to leave his painful memories behind and walk from Seattle to the farthest point on the map, Key West. In St. Louis, when his severe vertigo is diagnosed as the side effect of a brain tumor, Alan must go to Los Angeles for treatment. He is surrounded by those who care most for him, but one by one he alienates them all, and he resumes his journey in angry loneliness. Can he have faith that life can be worth living again?

Book four in the walk series and I am so excited to continue with this series.  This one was even more interesting to me because he is walking through Missouri and especially St. Louis and south.  So many of the areas were familiar to me.  His story hits a low when he is diagnosed with a brain tumor, but after his treatment he returns right back to his walk. Now I can't wait to read the last book in the series. 

Twilight Tides by Samantha Young

Twilight Tides by Samantha Young -- 417 pages

When I escaped to a Scottish island, I never expected I’d agree to a marriage of convenience with rugged local businessman and single dad, Murray Shaw.

That was before my dangerous ex started threatening me and my visa. The thought of being kicked out of Scotland, leaving behind my friends and the safety I’ve found here, is unthinkable. I’m determined to solve the problem myself. Everyone knows Murray is battling his ex-wife for control of his company and the only way to stop her is to remarry. So I propose a marriage deal that’ll solve both our issues. The fact that I’ve been attracted to the handsome, gentle giant of a Scot since we met is something I’ll just have to ignore if I want to remain in Scotland.

But marriage to Murray is proving to be complicated. Living under the same roof is a far bigger temptation than I anticipated. Beneath Murray’s reserve is a passionate nature that stokes the fires of my own. Soon we’re fighting a searing attraction and an intense emotional connection that’s as thrilling as it is terrifying. After my last disastrous relationship, I don’t trust myself enough to admit there’s far more than physical desire between us. Yet when Murray finds himself caught in the grasp of a criminal organization intent on using his business for their own means, just as my ex decides to intensify his harassment, I realize there’s no denying that what I feel for my husband is a life-changing kind of love. However, just as I begin to trust myself enough to give our marriage a real chance, danger rushes to our shore on rough tides, submerging us in a battle that might tear us apart forever…

This is a multi option book about two people that go into a forbidden abandoned house; a house of many spooky rumors.  After they enter the house they are trapped and must navigate their way through to try to make it out alive.  Honestly, this one was a bit long-winded, with not enough choices.  But maybe I'm spoiled by the others I read.  This one just seemed to drag on and on; honestly I skimmed some of it and don't feel that I missed anything.

Lennox Hayes has always been a spitfire. She’s got a stubborn streak a mile wide, and big dreams of getting back on the pro rodeo circuit. Until then, she’s stuck working the family ranch under the watchful eye of Bishop Bryant—the grumpy, no-nonsense foreman who’s made it clear he doesn’t have time for her wild ways.

Bishop has spent his life proving himself at Black Springs Ranch. The Hayes family took him in when he had nothing, and he owes them everything, including occasionally keeping an eye on their reckless youngest daughter. But Lennox isn’t a little kid anymore. She’s a fierce, frustrating woman who knows just how to get under his skin. They’ve never gotten along, and they’ve never tried to. But when they are forced to work together, sparks fly and tempers flare. Beneath the arguments and tension lies something neither of them is ready to admit. Hating each other was easy. Resisting each other might be impossible. But risking their hearts? That could cost them everything.
