Seasons of Opportunities

  Noah reached for her hand, and to his surprise she didn't try to get away. He felt the warmth and softness inside of his palm, and he smiled into her eyes. "I know   everything   about you. I know that you love white roses and brand-new puppies. Your favorite movie is   The Sound of Music , and you get up before the sun. You make the best ravioli on the planet, and your brothers adore you. You wear Chanel No. 5..." Noah deeply inhaled, "and it still smells   great   on you. And sometimes when I look at you, it's like yesterday all over again -- I   wish   it was yesterday and we could have another chance."

A Blackguard s Redemption  is the third volume of 5 in the epic romance series  The Caselli Family Series. Eleven years have passed since Noah and Tillie s chance meeting. Tillie is married to Alex Martin, III. Noah has been a widower for the past five years, and has grown terribly lonely. Giuseppe and Rosa conspired, along with their daughter-in-law, Tara, to keep Noah s identity a secret...but little did they know that Noah himself would reveal their deceptions to an unsuspecting Angel. As Alex relocates his family to Rapid City, SD, Noah s heart returns to the desire of a love he s never forgotten. And while Alex grows in the limelight of politics, Angel s heart softens to another man.

Ta'Mara has published her Caselli Family series before, but she is now relaunching the series starting with The Pretender and Pit of Ambition !  Join this super fun blog tour and find out more about the first two books (of five). Also, make sure you check out the great giveaway!

Welcome back to the final days of the Caselli Series Blog-a-Thon. Today, I am featuring the fifth book in the series by Ta`Mara Hanscom. This was the first book I read when I first heard about Ta`Mara. ( Read my Review ) I am not sure why I started on number five. Usually, I do not like to begin a series in the middle. But something about this book grabbed my attention and I decided to give it a try. I truly believe it was the Lord. You can pick up this book and read it alone, and get the gist of what happened over the years, and enjoy the book. But honestly, it will only give you a taste and a craving to read the whole series! Voice of experience speaking.  Although, for me, it did make reading the rest of the books easier, because I knew how it all would end! Sly Grin

So glad you are back for a look at my favorite book - Book 4 of the Caselli Series with Ta'Mara Hanscom this week.  They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;   they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. ”   Isaiah 40:31 Guiseppi said, “The Lord gave me that verse when you were very small...I was so afraid to become a father again at the age of forty…the boys were big, nearly ready to leave home…I had raised my family…I was so afraid to start over…but one night, as I prayed for strength and wisdom, God led me to that verse and it is what has helped me through so many trying times, because, my Angel, we do hope in the Lord, and now your heart flies like an eagle. 

Welcome back to Day Three of Caselli Series Blog-a-Thon with Ta'Mara Hanscom. The saga continues...   Tragedy, Mystery, and so much more! Book Three - A Blackguard’s Redemption picks up where Pit of Ambition left off. Noah has  discovered the identity of his beloved Angel and he schemes a way to have words with her alone at church. Tillie is not at all happy with the situation. Surprisingly, she is still extremely angry with Noah for what transpired between the two of them more than eleven years before. She makes Noah promise that he will not ever tell Alex, or any of her brothers. Noah agrees.

Thank you for returning to the third day of my blog-a-thon! Today's book - PIT OF AMBITION - Book 2 of the Casselli Series Rosa begged Guiseppi to reveal their prayers to Angel.  But Guiseppi was stubborn…and the thing with Alex went too far.  Guiseppi buried Noah’s identity deep within himself and demanded that Rosa do the same. Now Guiseppi is tempted to tell Angel the secret that is crushing his heart—but Noah will find out first! 

Thank you for coming back to the second day of my blog-a-thon! Today's book - THE PRETENDER - Book 1 of the Casselli Series My Jean-Marc’s uncle was married to an English woman, and she told us once, a very long time ago, that in this world there are men of two kinds. The one, the knight, is the man possessing only strength and quality of moral character. He will never ask a lady to compromise her honor for less than a vow, and never, ever will he consider another once he has captured her heart. A knight keeps his vow, even when it hurts, and the honor of a knight is a thing a country is built upon. A knight comes along only seldom these days.

This week I will be hosting a week long blogathon about the Caselli Series -introducing, reviewing, and finally interviewing author Ta`Mara Hanscom. I hope you will join me each day. I fell in love with the Caselli's  last year... Whe n I read Book V, The Truth , in Ta`Mara Hanscom's Caselli Family Series .  And I want to introduce you this family! I think y ou will fall in love with them just as I have and they will always be a part of your life.  Although they are fictional humans, (and at first I thought they were real - I was googling them) their family values are godly with high standards. They base them on God's word and the gentlemen in the family are referred to as Knights .  Any man who does not hold a godly standard is referred to as a Blackguard . 

This author had me hooked from the get-go.  The first book I read was number five in the series:  The Truth- Salvatore's Revenge.   Beginning in the middle of the series, was a little complicated at first, but once I got to know the characters, I could not stop reading.  I was up til midnight several nights, and I am not a night owl!  I got my hands on the first book as quickly as possible and within the past week, I have also finished book one.   "My Jean-Marc’s uncle was married to an English woman, and she told us once, a very long time ago, that in this world there are men of two kinds.
