*National Bestseller*

A sweeping account of America's oldest unsolved mystery, the people racing to unearth its answer, and the sobering truths--about race, gender, and immigration--exposed by the Lost Colony of Roanoke

In 1587, 115 men, women, and children arrived at Roanoke Island on the coast of North Carolina. Chartered by Queen Elizabeth I, their colony was to establish England's first foothold in the New World. But when the colony's leader, John White, returned to Roanoke from a resupply mission, his settlers were nowhere to be found. They left behind only a single clue--a "secret token" carved into a tree. Neither White nor any other European laid eyes on the colonists again.

What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke? For four hundred years, that question has consumed historians and amateur sleuths, leading only to dead ends and hoaxes. But after a chance encounter with a British archaeologist, journalist Andrew Lawler discovered that solid answers to the mystery were within reach. He set out to unravel the enigma of the lost settlers, accompanying competing researchers, each hoping to be the first to solve its riddle. In the course of his journey, Lawler encounters a host of characters obsessed with the colonists and their fate, and he determines why the Lost Colony continues to haunt our national consciousness.

Thrilling and absorbing, The Secret Token offers a new understanding not just of the first English settlement in the New World but of how its disappearance continues to define--and divide--America.

Rowan & Kyleigh
Format: Kindle
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ Couple: Rowan & Kyleigh ❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋ ❝When I’m with you, I forget who I am to the outside world. I’m just a guy who met a girl that he can’t stop thinking about all the time.❞ ❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋ I immersion read this book and the audio was a fantastic full cast, which I throughly enjoyed. This was a great setup for this series, and The Nest is bound to be a good time with the group of guys we have to look forward to. Rowan and Kyleigh were hot off the pages, but the emotional connection was definitely a slow burn. Their story had a lot of pieces to it and some hard issues. Rowan for me was everything, Kyleigh not so much. I wish I liked her but she acted way too immature for me, she turned it around a bit at the end. I was invested enough with the story and wanting Rowan to get happy ending to finish the book. I can't wait for Henrys book.

Perfect start to a new series!
Format: Kindle
Deliciously sexy in all the right ways! Piper Rayne, you've hooked me, and I'm now a fan for life. If you get the chance to listen to the audiobook, do it! It's duet, which includes several narrators in addition to Sean Masters and Erin Mallon, voicing side characters, which truly brings this hockey romcom to life. It's an absolutely delightful immersive read! Favorite Lines & Quotes: God, she’s ruining me, and I’m just letting her do it, but the last thing I want to do is om this. “You snuck up on me.” “You did, too. At a time when I didn’t believe in love or forevers.” “You’re the best surprise of my life.” We’ll have our arguments and disagreements, but I will forever remember that we have moments like this where we cherish and love one another. That will get us through the hard times. She’s found the man inside me I didn’t know was hidden, and I’m grateful for that because without her, I’m not sure he would have ever surfaced. Tropes & Themes: • Brother's best friend & teammate • Hockey romance • Found family • Swoon-worthy • Banter

The heartbreaker
Format: Audiobook
Oh my gosh, why did I wait so long to read/listen to this book? I loved it so much I literally read it in less than record time. The chemistry between Rowan and Kyleigh was amazing and Kyleigh and her brother Conor’s bond was so heartwarming. The full cast of narrators did such a phenomenal job of bringing the characters to life that the story played out like a movie in my head and I ate it all up.

THE P@SSION IN THIS STORY!!!
Format: Kindle
Wow! How could I ever forget how amazing Piper Rayne is?! Her writing is SO GOOD and captivating that I had to force myself to slow down as I just didn’t want this book to end. The MMC was super sweet and strong and loyal and not afraid to feel what he’s feeling. No, is is NOT a simp, he is just mature and once he decided he was in love, instead of running away in fear, he started making moves to show it. That is one who is in touch with his emotions for sure. Rowan was a dream boyfriend that I wish were real!! Then we had our FMC, Ryleigh who was a bit emotionally stunted due to something she had seen. She was NOT looking for Mr. Right, just Mr. Right now but boy oh BOY did the sparks fly between these two!! 🥵😮‍💨🔥. Their chemistry was off the charts and the spïcy scenes were so fre@king hot. Just woa, had me fanning myself constantly. The way they were portrayed as a couple showed a lasting connection that I was cheering for from chapter one. This was such an amazing story that I had to switch to reading it as well as I couldn’t stop when I got out of my car. (This started as an audible book but quickly became my every book)! With narrators like: Sean Masters,Erin Mallon, Connor Crais, JF Harding, Troy Duran, Teddy Hamilton and CJ Bloom?! there was no WAY I wasn’t buying this a fre@king all star cast like I’ve never had in a book before. These are literally almost all of my favorites, I was totally geeking out. All in all a great feel good story full of passion, heat, hurt and healing. Loved every minute of it. The side characters were so powerful I hope each guy gets his own book!
