Today we are spotlighting:

Sacrifice by Adriana Locke
Published July 13th 2015

My life changed forever the night my husband died.
I was left with a shattered heart, a heap of bills, and our daughter, EVERLEIGH. I don’t want to rely on anyone, least of all CREW GENTRY. He’s my first love and the man who almost destroyed me, the man who has let me down every time I’ve needed him.
But when tragedy strikes a second time, Crew just might be my only hope.


My life changed forever the night my brother died.
I was left with a guilty conscience, a pile of mistakes, and little else. I take care of JULIA GENTRY, my brother’s widow and the love of my life, and their daughter. I know she doesn’t want my help, but she gets it anyway. I owe her that.

When another disaster hits, I’m given the opportunity to make things right. I’m taking it. I'm willing to sacrifice it all. 

Arlene's Thoughts

I'm always on the lookout for something different and eye-catching, and it always helps if I believe the story will push my moral and emotional compass. So when Sacrifice by Adriana Locke caught my attention… well I'm not going to lie… it caught my attention because of the drool-worthy cover, I started to notice the impressive ratings. However, when I started to read what it was about, I sort of drifted away from it because I've never been into romantic sibling hand-me-downs.  I can handle the 'falls for best friend' type of love story. As a matter of fact, I feel Corrine Michaels did a great job with Consolation in that area. However, when it comes to brothers and sisters… I feel you can share your clothes, music, cars, but not your love interest. So, in the spirit of trying something outside of my comfort zone, I'm going to rely on the impressive ratings and see where this goes. I'll keep you posted. :)
