The Usurper King (The Plantagenet Legacy Book 3)
Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>
Story Behind The Book
The Tarot series was inspired by the voices of a local morning radio team. The Characters, Jack and Melissa are loosely based on these two amazing people. I took their dynamic added in some suspense and a great love story...viola! You have the Tarot Series. Shockwave is the first of three books. Enjoy!

<span class="readable"><span>Kate
is an FBI agent, hiding from a kidnapping she cant remember. Her
friend Mike offers her respite at his radio station hoping that life

that it entailed.
<br /><br />Here Kate meets Jack, the morning radio host, he is cocky and
arrogant and Katie and Jack find themselves slightly perturbed by each
other, Kate with Jacks arrogance and finds him unapproachable, Jack with
Kate's controlling nature.
<br /><br />A business trip finds Jack and Kate finding their desires run along
the same path, but are they already putting out the flames of desire
before the passion truly ignites. Emotions rise, past is revisited and secrets are revealed. Two both very different people from two different
paths of life, with this bring them together or tear them apart..
<br /><br />My Review !!!
<br /><br />
Once again Amy Romine has delivered the goodies. – A suspenseful
romance filled with twists and turns, I’m sure not even a roller coaster
ride would take... You will be shocked, intrigued and drawn into this
suspense, flipping to find out what’s next...!!
<br /><br />In Shockwave we meet Jack and Kate. Jack is a cocky, handsome, self
absorbed and arrogant radio host. Living life enjoying his unattached
status and living foot loose and fancy free. I rather enjoyed Jacks **
Cockiness ** if you call it that, he had spunk, yet we also found his
weaknesses. Despite his hard, non caring exterior Jack found himself
wanting something in life he wasn’t searching for. He wasn’t impressed
with Kate’s assertiveness and controlling nature but in time, he works
out Kate’s true side.
<br />So both Characters like polar opposites, but saying that Opposites do attract...
<br />Kate, an FBI agent, good at her job, and dedicated. I enjoyed her
assertiveness – 20th century kick arse chick style aurora.. She was her
own person! Believed in her ways, and stuck to them. Protecting the ones
she cared about even if it meant hurting herself in the process.
<br />The attraction between Jack and Kate was Smokin !! Sensual and full
of passion.. Their loving was tasteful, sexy yet also enough to have you
eagerly flipping briskly through the pages. ** Lusty wink ** Nothing
quite like a bit of romance and love to add to a suspenseful story.
<br /><br />Shockwave is an intriguing, fast paced suspense, with a climax that
makes you want to rip the arms of the chair you're sitting on!! It will
have you nodding and wondering and slightly heartbroken …. But I knew
Amy had her reasons, which will come about in book two I’m sure.
<br />The dialogue flowed smoothly, chapters fluently running from one to
the next, plot well outlined and character development wonderfully
created.
<br />I enjoyed all the secondary characters, all playing their parts
well, in the twist and turns, throughout the book. We all have
characters we fall in love with, others we don’t like to see leave due
to unexpected circumstances, but all their parts vital in creating that
atmosphere in Shockwave... Ending is definitely not predictable...
<br />It will leave you shocked!!
<br />Another great start to a fabulous series and I eagerly await book 2.- <strong>Katrina Whitaker, Page Flipperz</strong><br /></span></span>
