A. 1666: Plague, War, and Hellfire by Rebecca Rideal (Nonfiction)

1666 was a watershed year for England. An outbreak of the Great Plague, the eruption of the second Dutch War, and the devastating Great Fire of London all struck the country in rapid succession and with devastating repercussions.

B. The Children's Blizzard by David Laskin (Nonfiction)

The gripping story of an epic prairie snowstorm that killed hundreds of newly arrived settlers and cast a shadow on the promise of the American frontier...In telling the story of this meteorological catastrophe, the deadliest blizzard ever to hit the prairie states, David Laskin has produced a masterful portrait of a tragic crucible in the settlement of the American heartland.

C. Kosovo: War and Revenge by Tim Judah (Nonfiction)

An account of how Kosovo became the crucible of one of the 20th-century's most poisonous ethnic conflicts. Written by a seasoned journalist who witnessed the Balkan conflagration and its aftermath, it presents an analysis of the origins of the Serb-Albanian conflict, the course of the battle, the issues and personalities, and options for the future.  

D. Dreamland: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic by Sam Quinones (Nonfiction)

In fascinating detail, Sam Quinones chronicles how, over the past 15 years, enterprising sugar cane farmers in a small county on the west coast of Mexico created a unique distribution system that brought black tar heroin—the cheapest, most addictive form of the opiate, 2 to 3 times purer than its white powder cousin—to the veins of people across the United States. Communities where heroin had never been seen before—from Charlotte, NC and Huntington, WVA, to Salt Lake City and Portland, OR—were overrun with it. Local police and residents were stunned. How could heroin, long considered a drug found only in the dense, urban environments along the East Coast, and trafficked into the United States by enormous Colombian drug cartels, be so incredibly ubiquitous in the American heartland? Who was bringing it here, and perhaps more importantly, why were so many townspeople suddenly eager for the comparatively cheap high it offered?

Happy Voting!

This is book #5, in the Alaska Blizzard series. This book can be a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and fully understand the characters and series, I recommend reading this series in order.

Aaron knows he messed up.  He has wanted Sara for so long that when they finally get a chance to go crazy he takes it.  Then he has to fix his friendship with his best friend.  Seems like every time he tries he just makes it worse.

Sara was the reason they hooked up.  She knows it was a mistake, but her feelings are real and are hard to ignore.  Looking into her future and trying to figure out what to do, she has no idea if she can fit Aaron into it.

This was such a crazy hot good book I never wanted to put it down!  I loved the characters, and yes we see some of our faves.  I loved the passion, the honesty, and this would truly make a great movie.  This author knows how to give us highs and lows and its what we have come to expect.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.

Emotional hurdles, unrequited love, heated attraction, friendships and heartbreak are waiting on the horizon. Saving Sara has so much going on, but is surprisingly well put together. Mizera plays the heart strings with a romance interrupted. Aaron and Sara have a friendship that can survive anything. Or so they thought. From revisiting old friends to discovering new ones, Mizera proves that a heart can take a beating and still manage to find true happiness waiting on the other side.
