Legends aren’t built overnight. In fact, they take decades of hard work, long days, and selfless sacrifice - if one is lucky. Huerta Cigars is a result of the combined passion of patriarch Alejandro Huerta, who emigrated from pre-Castro Cuba to Nicaragua, and his sons Roberto and Manuel. Their unwavering dedication to their dream of producing the best cigars made for a success. Upon Roberto’s passing, he left the cigar empire to his only daughter, Sofia, who took over the family business.

This book was so good. It just ended too soon. I really needed an epilogue or honestly, I’d prefer a follow up. The natation was good, not great.

A woman who has been missing for three months is found dead with over 200 tally marks carved into her skin. For Detective Amy Sadler, who is still recovering mentally from a past undercover operation gone wrong, the case is as unsettling as it is frustrating. As more bodies appear with the same tally marks, Amy's only solace from the seemingly unsolvable case is the romance blooming between herself and forensic pathologist Dr. Lira Ward, a beautiful soul with a past even she doesn't understand.

This is an Amazing Book!
Reviewed: 05-21-19
I read Escape and Freedom when it first came out, and I loved it. Claire Highton-Stevenson can always be counted on for a great book, and this is no exception.
The book opens with the back story of one of the main characters. Lucy is a rising pop star with a girlfriend she is in love with. She suffers a major tragedy, moves to Lake Tahoe, California, and becomes a recluse.
Years later, Nicole and her children are on the run from her abusive husband. She moves into a cabin near Lucy. At first the children and Nicole avoid Lucy. Eventually, though, apprehension gives way to friendship via Nicole’s oldest daughter, Storm.
Storm and Lucy become friends first, and this causes Lucy start opening her heart to this family. I loved how the relationship between Storm and Lucy really was the catalyst for Lucy and Nicole’s healing and growth. Both these women were damaged and were ultimately able to help one another heal. It is such an exceptionally beautiful story.
The narration was good. I felt like Sara Sampino did a good job with distinguishing voices, and her narration of the kids was spot on. She did emphasize some words that made the dialogue between Lucy and Nicole a little stiff at times, but it did not take away from the story, and it was still very enjoyable to listen to.
Overall, this is a fantastic book, and in many ways the audio enhances it. It will definitely be one of the books that lives near the top of my library so I can listen to it periodically.

Life has become a farcical mess for icy British A-lister Elizabeth Thornton. America's most-hated villain stars in a top-rated TV medical drama that she hates. Now, she's been romantically linked to her perky, new co-star, Summer, due to the young woman's clumsiness. As a closeted actress, that's the last thing Elizabeth needs. If she could just get her dream movie role, life would be so much better. The only problem is that the eccentric French film-maker offering it insists on meeting her "girlfriend", Summer, first.

This book is well written and suspenseful. The narration is spectacular. Without giving too much away, suffice it to say that this book could be triggering for anyone who experienced being a female in a fundamentalist cult.
