Cheyenne is determined to seek the light of truth in a web of darkness, but at what cost?

Still reeling from the revelations of her secret birthright and fated betrothals, Cheyenne's thoughts tumble over the whirlwind of life since the death of her parents. Vowing to close herself off to spare her heart more pain, she keeps her distance and seeks her own path. But Colt, Daniel and Callon are constantly at her side, not giving her room to breathe or let her come to terms with her destiny. At the same time, her transformation into a Timeless begins; a process that could very well kill her. As if that wasn't enough, her enemies are still out for her blood, and no-where is safe. Though new allies appear to protect her from the unseen dangers, which ones are friend and which are foe?

And can Cheyenne stand the ultimate pain of all…





















Hello again!!! Whew! This will teach me to READ a book and listen to a book on audio huh? Too many book reviews! LOL! Well, today I finished up Promises, which is book 2 in Lisa L. Wiedmeier's Timeless Series, Kindle format. It was a cute book with a TON of twists and turns in this one! Many more than the first book. The first one kinda felt like it was moseying right along at a snails pace, but this second book picked up fairly quickly and kept you wondering, thinking, hoping, searching... it was a great second book in a fun, very "young adult" fantasy theme'd series! This book is perfect for those who want a nice, light read with nothing too heavy, there were enough details to keep me interested and the familiarity of the characters was nice, as well as meeting several new characters in Cheyenne's journey. With this book having come to it's end, I'm really looking forward to the 3rd book that is due out next spring sometime! :) I thank Lisa very very much for allowing me a peek inside her mind, and to go on this little imaginative journey with her! <3


I gave Promises


And I have NOOOOOOOOOOO clue what I'm going to read or listen to next... any suggestions guys???

Murder, romance, secrets and hidden pasts. Deception from every angle—who's telling the truth?

Cheyenne Wilson's life is thrown into turmoil after her adoptive parents are killed in an accident. With only her best friend Colt to comfort her, she scours through the family archives, hoping to quell her grief. Instead she begins to unravel the mystery behind her birth parents, and her secret heritage. She is a Timeless- a being that ages one year for every hundred human years when they reach their twenties- and of the royal line, destined to gain great power.

But Cheyenne has other problems. The ones who killed her parents want her too, and Colt is hiding something of his own. Surrounded by danger and with few she can trust, Cheyenne must face the dark truth of her past, and choose between a forbidden love that will forever hold her heart, or her destiny...























Hello visitors! For those of you who do not know, I design blogs for people in my "spare time" (lol, what's that, right??) and have a service for such here: www.designsbysarahbryan.com. I recently gave Lisa L. Wiedmeier, the author of the Timeless Series, a complete blog overhaul. It was such a great pleasure and complete honor to do this for Lisa and have found a magnificent friend in her as well- which is always an added bonus! I can't say that about ALL of my client's, but I can proudly say that about Lisa! She's beyond amazing, in my not so humble opinion! And as some of you may or may not know, I'm not really into "YA" books (young adult) generally, I kind of am stuck up that way, LOL! I sort of lift my nose at that genre and steer clear because I just need "more" generally. I did have the desire for "more" after finishing Cheyenne, the first book in this series, but I went into this knowing that these were YA books and I was reading them more to kind of peek into Lisa's mind, to see how she ticks per say, so I put my slutty lust on the back burner for this book! *snort* Now Lisa offered me this book in Kindle format and I easily loaded the book on my new Samsung Galaxy 2 Tablet (10 in) and brought it up to read using the Kindle app- which worked perfectly for me. Now, I know... GASP! SHOCK! HORROR!!! I haven't physically sat down and actually READ a book, words on paper (or "tablet"/e-reader) in errrr... well... more than 10 years I would assume, so this was kind of new to me! LOL! Felt like riding a bicycle though, and I REMEMBERED how to read, hahaha! Several weeks ago, my youngest started kindergarten, so I find I have many hours in my day that are extremely uninterrupted, and there is only so much graphic design one can do in a whole 8 hours while kids are in school (and so many icky chores), so I thought I would give 'reading' another go. It's quite pleasurable, I find! LOL! I really enjoyed this book too. Lisa said I would get addicted to it, and although I'm not quite 'there' just yet, I do recall that sense of WHAT?!? THE BOOK IS OVER?!?! When I tapped away from the very last page. I kept tapping my tablet, what?! What now?? What's going to happen?! *gasp* and instead of diving head first into the second book "Promises", I turned off my tablet and jumped up to write this review. :) It was kind of interesting, living in Montana, to read about their travels TO Montana, LOL! It was sort of endearing, actually. Felt more personal. I know- not everyone lives in Montana, but this was kinda cheeky for me, and I enjoyed the fact! The back and forth of the feelings for Colt and Callon (I kept pronouncing his name Call [like a phone call] On... and kept mentally whacking myself- reminding myself it was probably Call-Un... *laughs* Wow... don't mind that odd little aside!) kind of frustrated me and I didn't quite see the whole 'betrothed' thing coming as obvious as it seemed like it was once we were privy to the information. Like duh. Yeah, that's pretty much what I said to myself after reading and finding out. Anywhooo- I digress! LOL! The heart strings being pulled to and fro irked me just a bit, made Cheyenne kinda a little more... how do I put it... naive? I think that's kind of a good word to describe the main female- Cheyenne. Just a little too "childish"... But I say that in a loving way, she tries her hardest to be head-strong and whatnot, but she's not. She's constantly being pulled and pushed into whatever direction everyone wants her to go in and that's sort of frustrating too. This was a nice little story, and a good little start and I'm looking forward to the journey that I know Lisa will take me on! :)

I gave this: ★★★★ = Liked it! 


I'm currently listening to Time Untime by Sherrilyn Kenyon as well as loading up the second book in this Timeless Series- Promises. I think I might go lounge on the couch a bit and start Promises :)
