Vojsk rated it it was ok. I started this book, because I saw the positive ratings and the story sounded good. And I want to read good, enjoyable books in my free time. Nov 03, leni rated it did not like it Shelves: View all 7 comments. Aug 18, Darque Dreamer rated it it was amazing.

No Ordinary Star is an immersive, fast paced story that reads like a dream. It is elegantly emotional and captivating. Prepare yourself for an astronomical amount of imagery! In a futuristic world where hunger, sickness, and human emotions are things of the past, a soldier and an unusual girl cross paths in the North Pole.

He is summoned to fix the great Clock responsible for bringing in the new year, She is a criminal on the run having come close to death in the icy wilderness. T No Ordinary Star is an immersive, fast paced story that reads like a dream. Together they uncover secrets of their pasts, and a long forgotten library beneath an icy shack in the middle of the snow. Can I just say WOW! The entire time I was reading, I felt like I was in a dream state. I became lost in a good way in the story and each time I looked away from the book, I was oblivious to my surroundings.

I thoroughly enjoyed the writing style and the way the book made me feel towards our two, lost characters. Felix was so intriguing and complex. He gets broken down layer by layer. Literally, he went from being an emotionless soldier who doesn't eat real food, or sleep, to being an actual human being! Everything broke away, revealing someone who held a hunger for the world and for human companionship. Astra was mysterious and fierce. She was brave, complex. She added a layer of innocence and depth to the story while bringing out sympathy and empathy from the reader.

I loved her and her fiery red hair! Though the book was short, it packed a punch. It drew me in and brought me closer to our main characters. I felt sympathy for the lives they led. Both different lives, but both devoid of true human companionship and many other things we take for granted, such as access to books and the safety and comfort of a bed.

I learned so much about both the characters and the background story of the world. I am so excited to jump in to the next two books very soon! Thank you to the author for providing me with this free e-ARC in exchange for my honest review and as part of being a proud member of the street team! Nov 03, M. Just wanted to let you know that the first six chapters of No Ordinary Star have been posted for free here if you're interested in reading a free sample. I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

This full review can be viewed on my blog along with others at: Imperfections are almost eliminated--the Elimination System was created for just this purpose. And it's worked wonders both in the Planet and the Colonies. To think, people didn't used to live more than eighty, perhaps a hundred years. When I first re I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. When I first read the synopsis for this book I was like This one actually serves its purpose well!

One word kept coming to mind as I made my way through this story, and that word was emptiness. The plot itself is definitely not empty. But the landscapes, society, culture, and the people themselves are devoid of feeling, mystery, beauty, and, well, humanness. It think that is what makes a book like this so captivating, and dystopias in general so utterly tragic.

When you see a formation that's irregular, a star that doesn't look ordinary- that's a real star and no satellite. Mankind is on its way to immortality. Long lifespans, less gene imperfection, one united world A. Overall, there is less causes of death, illness, and freedom of thought. Oh yes, this is a tricky one.

This was a short book. But I thought the length was appropriate. Rather than being distracted by all of the world building, cool gadgets which, let's be honest, there are quite a few! The story is told from two perspectives, from the "match girl" and "tin soldier. Not only are they total opposites in character, they are total opposites in this new-world nature. Because of the situation they find themselves in, they learn how to compensate for each others' weaknesses in order to confront the main issue, which is getting the clock to work before new year rolls around. My only issue with this book was how it transitioned from place to place.

The characters would be outside, then suddenly inside. Or sitting then suddenly standing. I just couldn't get a good feel where the characters were actually placed, and made it difficult for me to envision at times. Despite that, I liked this read, and am looking forward to picking up No Plain Rebel. View all 3 comments. Createspace, Nov 25 Genre: Actually, this book was quite good! And I mean, look at the cover!

I am currently reading her newest book Lose Me, which is a contemporary YA novel. It was just too tempting with the synopsis. Felix arrives at the North Pole to fix the clock that will be ringing in the New Year, Astra arrives at the North Pole as she runs from the people hunting her, and falls through the ice. In this new world, men and women are separated, books are eradicated, and pills keep the people in line.

Except for Astra, an escapee, and now Felix, who has run out as he waits for the Clockmaster to come. I love dystopian novels and this one has me completely intrigued and hooked.

Jul 19, Yesha rated it it was amazing Shelves: I received review copy of this book from the author, in exchange for an honest review.

I am glad I got a chance to read this book. I loved that cover of the book and futuristic world drew me to this book. Men and women are separated? Humans can live for years with no disease, no illness, no need to sleep? No festival, Christmas is forgotten and there are no books. Yeah you heard right. Pretty messed up world it sounds right? Characters— Felix and Astra. I loved both of them. They were both nice, innocent and smart. Reading them in the book was like watching two kids under one roof. They were fun to read and all the charm of the book.

Oh, and Ursa- Polar bear of the book. I loved this bear, so intelligent animal. I loved that concept. This world author created was jaw-dropping. Every time I learned the details of this dystopian world my jaw dropped, literally! World building was the beauty and core part of this book. I loved how all these were represented in the book, everything was equally balanced. Still it left me for more details. Initially I was clueless why this names and why every chapter are repeating with these title, until I reached to explanation.

Alternate point of view of Felix and Astra was nicely written and they both sounded reasonable. Usually this leaves me disagreeing with one of the character, but here, I found myself agreeing with both of them. What they felt for other was the same way I felt. I liked the color effects character was experiencing in the book, it was beautifully written. Just like all the covers of this series. Author has real something for colors I guess. As it is said in the blurb the story is divided in 3 installment, the end felt like first broken point of the story.

The cliffhanger left me hanging, made me wish for the foothold- next book. When read blurb I was curious to read this book. This is going to be perfect series for winters. YA, Science Fiction, dystopian world lovers. Read reviews on my blog- Books Teacup and Reviews The story follows the journey of Felix and Astra in the year , a journey of discovery about the real world they live in.

The Clockmaster is infamous for building a special clock for the new year celebrations, however Felix is met with a scene that has nothing to do with cogs and wheels. The Clockmaster is dead and in his place Felix finds a young girl, Astra, a girl chased for the crimes of her father. Together they try to unravel the mysterious surrounding the Clockmaster and the truth about the world. I really enjoyed this book. C Frank managed to create an alternative world that makes you fear your own future while also appreciating the present world you live in.

The writing was really beautiful and engaging, conjuring up wonderful imagery of the surrounding world. It was perfect in providing a description of the setting and I would have appreciated it if the book was longer just so I could familiarise myself better with the world. This leaves you with the feeling that you know them really well and makes it easier for you to connect with them. I loved the chemistry between Felix and Astra, the way their characters developed as they got to know each other better.

I loved how they complemented each other so well: I cannot wait to continue with the series and read amore about the world building and the characters. I would highly recommend it for all dystopian and sci-fi lovers out there! Jul 26, RebeccaS rated it liked it Shelves: In a world where there is no Christmas; men and women are separated; and no one needs to eat or sleep or become ill Felix and Astra are just trying to survive.

They are throw together in a strange twist of fate and are put on a mission, to fix a clock before the year turns to When you begin this book, you are completely throw into a future world with no guide, no explanations, and no idea where you are or what is going on.

I'll be honest, I had to re-read the first couple of chapters a f In a world where there is no Christmas; men and women are separated; and no one needs to eat or sleep or become ill I'll be honest, I had to re-read the first couple of chapters a few times to try and get my bearings. It's definitely an interested plot device and it allowed me to be intrigued, but also very confused. Bits and pieces are dropped like snowflakes and you need to try and catch them and put them together to form this new world in your mind.

Many times I felt myself go "huh? When Felix and Astra meet, there is so much tension and wariness that I could almost feel the emotions vibrating off the pages. This is definitely a writing style that I had to get used to, because the stories seems to move in bit and spurts. I think this reflected the emotions and thoughts of the characters well, especially their situation in the beginning. This book takes many turns that leave you hanging on by the tips of your fingers, trying to follow it. Poor Felix finds out many mind-blowing things very quickly, and we get to see inside his head as he tries to process them.

The characters themselves are the best part of the book, in my opinion. Witty, extremely smart, emotional and daring. We get to see a lot of their development and I am hoping for even more as the series continues. Thank you to the author for providing me an ARC of her novel for an honest review. Dec 30, Kelsey rated it it was amazing Shelves: Is it possible to love a story even more the second time around? I think it is. This time around I was able to appreciate the writing even more. Frank weaves together beautiful sentences, creating this atmospheric world.

Knowing this, I really want to get a copy of that book and read it. The story takes place in the future and follows Astra and Felix in the year , just when the year is going to turn into In this future, men and women are separated, the women to work the fields, and the men to be soldiers. Before he was stricken at thirty-nine, Roosevelt was a man who flourished on activity.

He loved to swim and to sail, to play tennis and golf; to run in the woods and ride horseback in the fields. The morning after his swim, his temperature was degrees and he had trouble moving his left leg. By afternoon, the power to move his right leg was also gone, and soon he was paralyzed from the waist down. The paralysis had set in so swiftly that no one understood at first that it was polio. But once the diagnosis was made, the battle was joined. For years he fought to walk on his own power, practicing for hours at a time, drenched with sweat, as he tried unsuccessfully to move one leg in front of the other without the aid of a pair of crutches or a helping hand.

That consuming and futile effort had to be abandoned once he became governor of New York in and then president in He was permanently crippled. Yet the paralysis that crippled his body expanded his mind and his sensibilities. He returned from his ordeal with greater powers of concentration and greater self-knowledge. No longer belonging to his old world in the same way, he came to empathize with the poor and underprivileged, with people to whom fate had dealt a difficult hand.

The journalist Eliot Janeway remembers being behind Roosevelt once when he was in his chair in the Oval Office. His face and hand muscles were totally relaxed. But then, when he had to stand up, his jaws went absolutely rigid. The effort of getting what was left of his body up was so great his face changed dramatically. It was as if he braced his body for a bullet. Despite the tumult of the night before, which had kept him up until nearly 3 a. Pivoting to the edge of the bed, he pressed the button for his valet, who helped him into the bathroom. Then, as he had done every morning for the past seven years, he threw his old blue cape over his pajamas and started his day with breakfast in bed—orange juice, eggs, coffee, and buttered toast—and the morning papers: Headlines recounted the grim events he had heard at 11 p.

From Paris, Ambassador William Bullitt confirmed that the Germans had launched violent attacks on a half-dozen French military bases. Bombs had also fallen on the main railway connections between Paris and the border in an attempt to stop troop movements.

He instructed them to convene an emergency meeting at ten-thirty with the chiefs of the army and the navy, the secretaries of state and Treasury, and the attorney general. In addition, Roosevelt was scheduled to meet the press in the morning and the Cabinet in the afternoon, as he had done every Friday morning and afternoon for seven years.

Later that night, he was supposed to deliver a keynote address at the Pan American Scientific Congress. After asking Early to delay the press conference an hour and to have the State Department draft a new speech, Roosevelt called his valet to help him dress. The Village apartment on East 11th Street, five blocks north of Washington Square, provided Eleanor with a welcome escape from the demands of the White House, a secret refuge whenever her crowded calendar brought her to New York.

For decades, the Village, with its winding streets, modest brick houses, bookshops, tearooms, little theaters, and cheap rents, had been home to political, artistic, and literary rebels, giving it a colorful Old World character. Along the way, she had sandwiched in a banquet for the National League of Women Voters, a meeting for the fund for Polish relief, a visit to her mother-in-law, Sara Delano Roosevelt, a radio broadcast, lunch with her friend the young student activist Joe Lash, and dinner with Democratic leader Edward Flynn and his wife.

The week before, at the Astor Hotel, Eleanor had been honored by The Nation magazine for her work in behalf of civil rights and poverty. She goes around America, looking at America, thinking about America. We should constantly be reminded of what we owe in return for what we have.

Roosevelt even higher than her husband, with 67 percent of those interviewed well disposed toward her activities. Women especially feel this way. But even men betray relatively small masculine impatience with the work and opinions of a very articulate lady. The rich, who generally disapprove of Mrs. Even among those extremely anti-Roosevelt citizens who would regard a third term as a national disaster there is a generous minority.

Roosevelt to remain in the public eye. After a period of suspicion, she realized that her husband, who was then assistant secretary of the navy, had fallen in love with another woman, Lucy Page Mercer. For months, perhaps even years, Franklin kept his romance a secret from Eleanor. Her shattering discovery took place in September Franklin had just returned from a visit to the European front. Unpacking his suitcase, she discovered a packet of love letters from Lucy. But this was not what he wanted, or at least not what he was able to put himself through, particularly when his mother, Sara, was said to have threatened him with disinheritance if he left his marriage.

If her son insisted on leaving his wife and five children for another woman, visiting scandal upon the Roosevelt name, she could not stop him. But he should know that she would not give him another dollar and he could no longer expect to inherit the family estate at Hyde Park. But for Eleanor, a path had opened, a possibility of standing apart from Franklin.

No longer did she need to define herself solely in terms of his wants and his needs. To explore her independent needs, to journey outside her home for happiness, was perceived as dangerous and wrong. With the discovery of the affair, however, she was free to define a new and different partnership with her husband, free to seek new avenues of fulfillment.

It was a gradual process, a gradual casting away, a gradual gaining of confidence—and it was by no means complete—but the fifty-six-year-old woman who was being feted in New York was a different person from the shy, betrayed wife of A tall, handsome woman of forty-one with large blue eyes and prematurely gray, once luxuriant black hair fastened by hairpins to the nape of her neck, Missy was in love with her boss and regarded herself as his other wife. Nor was she alone in her imaginings. We knew that FDR would always back up Missy. Her father was an alcoholic who lived apart from the family.

Her mother, with five children to raise, took in a revolving group of Harvard students as tenants. She stood out for having a better appearance and being smarter than most. From the start, Missy proved herself indispensable. After I went to work for Mr. Roosevelt, for months I read carefully all the letters he dictated. I learned what letters he wanted to see and which ones it was not necessary to show him. I came to know exactly how Mr. Roosevelt would answer some of his letters, how he would couch his thoughts.

When he discovered that I had learned these things it took a load off his shoulders, for instead of having to dictate the answers to many letters he could just say yes or no and I knew what to say and how to say it. Both Franklin and Eleanor understood that it was critical for Franklin to keep active in politics even as he struggled unsuccessfully day after day, month after month, to walk again. To that end, Eleanor adhered to a rigorous daily schedule as the stand-in for her husband, journeying from one political meeting to the next to ensure that the Roosevelt name was not forgotten.

By the time Roosevelt was president, she had become totally absorbed in his life—learning his favorite games, sharing his hobbies, reading the same books, even adopting his characteristic accent and patterns of speech. She understood his nature perfectly, as they would say in a nineteenth-century novel. Crim, the usher on duty, and accompanied by his usual detail of Secret Service men, the president headed for the Oval Office. Of all the men assembled in the big white-walled Cabinet Room that morning, General George Catlett Marshall possessed the clearest awareness of how woefully unprepared America was to fight a major war against Nazi Germany.

Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II

The fifty-nine-year-old Marshall, chief of operations of the First Army in World War I, had been elevated to the position of army chief of staff the previous year. Everyone nodded in approval except Marshall. A few months later, reaching thirty-four names down the list of senior generals, the president asked the straight-speaking Marshall to be chief of staff of the U.

The army Marshall headed, however, was scarcely worthy of the name, having languished in skeletal form since World War I, starved for funds and manpower by an administration focused on coping with the Great Depression and an isolationist Congress. Determined never again to be trapped by the corruptions of the Old World, the isolationists insisted that the United States was protected from harm by its oceans and could best lead by sustaining democracy at home. Responding to the overwhelming strength of isolationist sentiment in the country at large, the Congress had passed a series of Neutrality Acts in the mids banning the shipment of arms and munitions to all belligerents, prohibiting the extension of credits and loans, and forbidding the arming of merchant ships.

Roosevelt had tried on occasion to shift the prevailing opinion. The speech was hailed by interventionists committed to collective security, but when the press evinced shock at what they termed a radical shift in foreign policy and isolationist congressmen threatened impeachment, Roosevelt had pulled back. The task was not easy. As a result, in , the U. With the fall of Holland, the United States would rise to seventeenth!

And, in contrast to Germany, where after years of compulsory military training nearly 10 percent of the population 6. The offensive Germany had launched the morning of May 10 along the Western front was supported by divisions; the United States could, if necessary, muster merely five fully equipped divisions. In the spring of , the United States possessed almost no munitions industry at all. So strong had been the recoil from war after that both the government and the private sector had backed away from, making weapons.

The result was that, while the United States led the world in the mass production of automobiles, washing machines, and other household appliances, the techniques of producing weapons of war had badly atrophied. All through the winter and spring, Marshall had been trying to get Secretary of War Henry Woodring to understand the dire nature of this unpreparedness. But the former governor of Kansas was an isolationist who refused to contemplate even the possibility of American involvement in the European war.

Woodring had been named assistant secretary of war in and then promoted to the top job three years later, when the price of corn and the high unemployment rate worried Washington far more than foreign affairs. As the European situation heated up, Roosevelt recognized that Woodring was the wrong man to head the War Department. But, try as he might, he could not bring himself to fire his secretary of war—or anyone else, for that matter. The president did not think this would satisfy Woodring. Outspoken, bold, and ambitious, Johnson fought openly with Woodring, bringing relations to the sorry point where neither man spoke to the other.

Paralyzed and frustrated, General Marshall found it incomprehensible that Roosevelt had allowed such a mess to develop simply because he disliked firing anyone. Years earlier, when Marshall had been told by his aide that a friend whom he had ordered overseas had said he could not leave because his wife was away and his furniture was not packed, Marshall had called the man himself. The friend explained that he was sorry. Though divided authority and built-in competition created insecurity and confusion within the administration, it gave Roosevelt the benefit of conflicting opinions.

Their attitude toward subordinates was not the only point of dissimilarity between Roosevelt and Marshall. Roosevelt loved to laugh and play, closing the space between people by familiarity, calling everyone, even Winston Churchill, by his first name. In contrast, Marshall was rarely seen to smile or laugh on the job and was never familiar with anyone. It was a reward for something he thought well done.

So I never went. I was in Hyde Park for the first time at his funeral. Ambassador John Cudahy in Brussels wired that he had almost been knocked down by the force of a bomb which fell three hundred feet from the embassy. From London, Ambassador Joseph P. She couldn't believe how hot he looked but even though he was a fine specimen of a man, she wouldn't go there, not just because he was a patient of hers, but because she didn't like sex. She only did it once and that was enough, she thought she wasn't good at it.

Sarah was a genius, working her whole life to be better, brighter. Her mother constantly pushing her, no real childhood to speak of. I think they both needed each other. Once Dante stop being so stubborn and actually starting caring about Sarah when he caused her harm, he realised that he wanted to protect her and she definitely needed protecting. Her past had literally come to haunt her. This story was so detailed, I really felt like I knew Dante and Sarah.

I was gasping at one point at the heart in my mouth moments. The romance is beautiful to read. The sex scenes are explosive. Another brilliant read by an excellent Author.

No Ordinary Killing

The writing style flowed effortlessly with no slowdown in pace of the storyline. I was engaged from the first paragraphs. I highly recommend it and I look forward to reading about the remaining members of the Sinclair family. Contempoary romance with a alpha male. Loved it from start to finish. Sarah is an absolute genius. She has a very high IQ and it's been just her and her mom. And growing up, Mom's whole focus has been furthering her daughter's education. As a result, Sarah didn't have much of a childhood and was in college at an early age and on to become a young doctor.

Dante is one of the billionaire Sinclair brothers, but he sure doesn't act like it. Dante is a homicide detective in Los Angeles. While Dante and his partner are tailing a suspect, the suspect becomes spooked and starts shooting. Dante is shot while trying to cover his fatally shot partner. Dante eventually returns to his home in Amesport to heal. Sarah takes over Dante's care in Amesport and things get interesting fast. I love the chemistry between these two. While Dante is very much the alpha male in the bedroom, he also has a very sweet side.

Truly an amazing series and a must read!! Mar 01, Jenny Brightman Harris rated it it was amazing. I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. In this book we meet Dante Sinclair and Sarah Baxter. Dante is a LA homicide detective and when this book starts out he is coming home to Amesport, Maine to recover after a shooting that injured him and killed his partner. Dante feels like he deserves the pain from her injuries because he feels liked he should have been the one to die not his partner.

What he has is survivors guilt I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. What he has is survivors guilt but he hates that diagnosis and refuses to accept it. Sarah Baxter is a woman who is fighting her own demons and thinks that she has finally found a real home in Amesport. Now the hero is coming to town and she is to be his new doctor. When she arrives to get her first look at her new patient the immediately butt heads. Dante is determined to recover quickly to get back on the job and Sarah is determined to heal him properly. The other problem they have is the unexpected attraction they have with one another.

Sarah is determined to hold onto her ethics about being with a patient. Dante is equally determined to have her by any means even if it is by firing her as his doctor. When things go south due to a problem from Sarah's past this shows her how much Dante will either stick by her or take the first chance to get back to L.

This book is amazing full of twists and turns even when you think you have figured it out you will find it is not what you thought at all. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. This is a fabulous love story that anyone and everyone can connect with. Feb 26, Chrissy rated it it was amazing. I loved this book This is another hit, by the talented J.

Here comes Sara the Doctor in charge of Dante's care, while he is in Maine she is very young and very brilliant, she knows what Dante is thinking but at the same time Sparks fly between them two. Not to spoil anything, I will leave it at that for the moment. Then Sparks really start to fly between them after the meeting, however Sara's past is catching up to her and this makes Dante the Police Detective step and protect her.

Again, I don't want to give allot away, but I will say this you know how Simon and Grady are well that is who Dante is. This is a must read book, it is truly a great book OMG I love it The only bad part was when it was over lol Oct 20, Mindy Knotts rated it it was amazing.

No Ordinary Billionaire

Scott writes another Brilliant Billionaire Book!!! Dante is a Homicide Detective from L. He returns to his vacation home in Amesport to recover. At first he doesn't take well to his "babysitter" as he sees it, Dr. Sarah is practical and analyzes everything, and didn't have much of a childhoo J. Sarah is practical and analyzes everything, and didn't have much of a childhood. There is instant chemistry between the two. And Dante shows Sarah how to just have fun "just because" and to stop thinking so much about it.

He teaches her things and introduces her to some "Firsts" Then Sarah's past, her reason for moving to Amesport herself a year ago, returns with a vengeance. This book captured me from the minute I opened it, clear until the end, where she sets us up for Jared's book!! Which I totally cannot wait for! Brilliance from beginning to end!!! Feb 02, Lindsay Thompson-Sublett rated it it was amazing. Dante and Sarah will pull you into this captivating story. I enjoyed Dante and Sarah. The way Sarah balanced him out was great.
