To Live the Future Book Review

To Live the Future

By Hayuta Katzenelson

To Live the Future by [Katzenelson, Hayuta]

She saves many families, while losing her own

Poland 1938. Eve of the Second World War. Rivka sends her husband and three beloved children to the United States, where they will find safe shelter from the war. She realizes that she will probably never see them again, but a strong commitment urges her to stay behind. To her family, she says she must stay to support her elderly parents who are too old to leave. But the truth is that besides her day job as a librarian, Rivka is also a spy for the Jewish underground in Palestine. Now, in face of war, her work is more valuable than ever.

A gripping historical drama of bravery and sacrifice

During the war, Rivka continues to execute her tasks as a spy with remarkable determination, certain that her work will save the lives of thousands. At the same time, the letters she receives from her family tell of painful drama and tragedies. If only she could join her family and ease their pain. But she remains loyal to her mission, sacrificing her private life for the sake of the public good.

A young mother, a practicing Jew and a relentless spy

Living the Future is a historical drama, taking place in a time of an unprecedented and uncompromising battle between cultures and identities. A story of a woman with remarkable determination and strength; that saves countless families… while losing her own.

MY REVIEW

Germany was invading Poland, causing anguish to the Jewish population. With an unstable and grim future, Yaakov had no choice but to move his family out of Poland. His sister Hannah, who lived in America with her family had secured lodging and work for him. So all that was left to do was to pack his wife, Rivka, and their three children up and leave. But Rivka refused to leave her aging mother and father behind. Yaakov and the children barely survive the voyage, and only find temporary happiness.

Unknown to Rivka’s family, she was a top-notch spy, secretly relaying intelligence for the cause of the homeland peoples, and that was even more reason for her to stay. As events escalate around Rivka, she lives to regret her decision to stay behind, and prays she will one day see her children again.


I felt so sorry for this family, for all the trials and sorrow they had to overcome. This author has helped me to understand the tribulations that the Jewish nation went through more than I ever learned in school. I was able to put myself in the shoes of these characters and feel the anguish they were going through. It was obvious that the story would come full circle, but it was not knowing the outcome of the circumstances that had me turning the pages nonstop.

Bad Billionaires After Dark are a series of sexy stand-alone romances.

"Mick" is a USA Today bestseller. 

Indulge your inner vixen with these sexy billionaires!

Meet the Bad Boys... Four fiercely loyal, sinfully sexy, uber alpha brothers, about to fall head over heels for their leading ladies.

Everything's naughtier after dark... 
Amanda Jenner is done being a boring-man magnet and has finally taken control of her love life. As any smart paralegal would, she's researched the hell out of how to seduce a man. She's waxed, primped, and ready to put her newfound skills into action--and a masquerade bar crawl is the perfect venue for her solo coming-out party.

Entertainment attorney Mick Bad lives by two hard and fast rules. He never mixes business with pleasure, and he doesn't do relationships, which makes the anonymity of a masquerade bar crawl the perfect place for a onetime hookup.

Amanda thinks she's hit the jackpot when she bags a tall, dark, and sinfully delicious masked man--until she discovers the man she's made out with is her off-limits boss. Mick's already crossed a line he can never uncross, and one taste of sweet and sexy Amanda has only whet his appetite. When Mick offers to give Amanda a lesson in seduction--no strings, no regrets, and for goodness' sake, come Monday, no quitting--the tables turn, and Mick's totally unprepared for the lessons this sweet temptress provides.

The Bad Boys are a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series.

MY REVIEW 

High-powered sports agent Tiffany Winters is the best in the business. She thrives on power and control. But it seems she may have met her match in Dylan Bad. He sees her as more than just a conquest, but she sees him as a distraction. As he works his way past her barriers one at a time, Tiffany starts slowly relinquishing control. Dylan is aware that she could bolt if he pushes too hard. As they get closer, Tiffany becomes aware of all the things she’s been missing by letting her job control her.


Dylan Bad was correctly named because he was bad to the bone, but in a good way. And he had the perfect personality to be coupled with Tiffany. They had chemistry from the start. I love when I can just feel all the feelings that they are experiencing. And I hate it when it ends. I’ll be reliving this couple for a long while.
