I could not put this trilogy down.

An easy read from start to finish, it's stimulating and captivating. The author writes with passion, an understanding, especially of those who have walked a similar path in life, as portrayed by her characters .

I could relate to their joys and sorrows. It tells of farm life, animal conservation, teenage pregnancy, abduction, love, loss, adversity and survival.

The generations grow through each saga spinning a story of crime, spirituality, and even the supernatural.

If these things appeal to you, then you'll love this series. I did.

What a great book. Read it in a day and a half couldn't put it down. Anxiously waiting to start the second book of the series.

Inspiring and Adventuresome, January 22, 2016 By Ink Blot.

This review is from: Winter's Captive (The Georgia Series Book 1) (Kindle Edition) Here is an exciting, inspirational story about a single, pregnant woman overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The vast, isolated setting makes the novel hum with electric drama, an unforgiving but harshly beautiful landscape that serves as Georgia's ultimate salvation. I enjoyed watching Georgia develop and grow, and finally earn what she deserves in the end--she becomes a strong, capable character worth cheering for. Bourgo's plot is brilliantly-paced and beautifully imagined, full of adventure, romance, and captivating characters that undergo remarkable changes. I can't wait to see more of Bourgo's strong writing, and what else our main character Georgia will face down the road. Bourgo proves herself a compelling and enjoyable author.

Nothing at all to dislike except her ex-husband. the rest of the book is amazing. it was well written and proof read. the story itself leaves you gasping at her strength both mental and physical during this hard time in her life. it is a story that makes you hang on every well written word. miss it and it's your loss.

Chasing Georgia 5.0 out of 5 stars Another home run by this talented author!

I must say the twists and turns in this one are phenomenal and will keep your heart racing. Intrigue is ever present as is some romance when Georgia and her author soul mate reconnect. I rate Chasing Georgia a heartfelt 4.5, only because Winter's Captive was so special to me it will be difficult to outshine by any other work. I have read WC twice for its mystical nuance and have shared the word to all my reader friends.

Missing Thread 4.5 out of 5

The last book in a trilogy. Have read them all, and really enjoyed each and everyone of them. Being a life time resident of Vancouver, it was neat knowing all the areas being written about!! I especially loved the mystical indigenous references. It added so much to the story. Lovely romance plus mystery, who could ask for anything more. I would highly recommend this trilogy to anyone for an enjoyable read.

Best Books - Two Thumbs Up

Alicia Huxtable licia Huxtable rated it it was amazing Utterly fantastic!!! After book 1, I knew there had to be a book 2, but I didn't realise how engrossed I would get. The emotions that June pulls from the reader with every page of this book. Chelsea, Sydney and Elizabeth are 3 very strong female characters and I loved their parts in this story. The males, Jax, Chaz and Gord are equally as strong but they don't over power the females as the lead characters. A must read that you won't regret.

Wonderful read., December 6, 2015

By Christine Rivett

This review is from: Chasing Georgia (The Georgia Series Book 2) (Kindle Edition)

Well once again the author has knocked it out of the park with book number two! Just like book one, I couldn't put it down once I started reading. In
Winter's Captive, the characters indeed captured my heart, mostly because they were human and believable, its that plain and simple.

In Chasing Georgia, our heroine is again faced with some difficult life choices which adds intrigue and suspense to the book. I don't want to give the plot away but in book two we're introduced to a new villain. I smiled at the description of this individual because as in life, contrary to what most people believe, "the bad guys" aren't some ugly grease balls that no one would ever look twice at. The way the author describes this fellow's demeanour and secret life, well it just sent shivers down my spine. I'd expect to see his name listed along with the likes of Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer and Paul Bernardo.

And of course there is romance for Georgia as she reunites with her soul mate. Oh yes, I mustn't forget to mention that "Feathers" makes and appearance in Chasing Georgia. Nothing like a little shapeshifting to stir the imagination.

Okay June, please start writing as I can't wait to read book 3!

A Non-Fiction Memoir 5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring fireside tale

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2022

Pieman: The Papa D Story, co-authored by June and Dennis Bourgo, is one of those stories that you could listen to sitting by the fireside as Papa D, the nickname for Dennis Bourgo, paints the picture of his adventures in the pie business. Situated on the west coast of Canada, in a beautiful and pristine setting, Papa D, with retirement not far down the road, decides to start up a small home business, baking pies, some of which he remembers from his childhood days. He has to jump many hurdles along the way to finally open up his remote shop, but with a sign at the end of his long driveway, word of mouth soon spreads, and Papa D is selling pies at an ever-growing rate; moreover, he gets requests for certain pies, and also adapts with new recipes, all of which adds to its success. Intermingled with this story, are short and colorful snippets about his life. While this story may appear to be pastoral, it is actually very inspiring. Papa D, threads his own insights and realizations about his life and life in general, throwing in a few inspiring quotes, but most importantly, one walks away from this book with an enhanced appreciation of the beauty of life and the reconciliation we all face, that sometimes, our biggest dreams don't materialize, but what does come to be, is not a compromise, but a step on that road. I recommend this book. Put on a pot of coffee, or pop the Merlot, sit by the fireside, and just enjoy a good-old fashioned storyteller spinning a tale that many or most can relate to in some way.

by S. M. Harton September 21, 2016 Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase In the third book of the Georgia series, Missing Thread, June V. Bourgo, takes the story of Georgia's journey in a different direction. Georgia, Sean, and their family must deal with the aftereffects of a devastating accident. As in the first two books, the story serves to engage the main characters in another phase of learning. This time, the challenge comes from within as Georgia must discover who she really is. What I most appreciate about this story is the parallel track - the "thread" - running throughout the book. As Georgia learns about her past while she recovers from the accident, she is also building her future. The theme of threads is evident in the separate conflicts of the story that are interwoven and addressed in a most satisfying conclusion. Another recommended read for fans of romance/fantasy.

Great Style and Warmth By Sensate on September 17, 2016 Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase The third book in the Georgia series by June Bourgo certainly does not disappoint the reader. Each chapter is well-developed and beautifully executed. The plot is strong and steady and keeps the reader interested throughout. The angst suffered by Georgia and her family is brought forth in such a natural and endearing way that the story reads more like a true story rather than a fictional account. Georgia's character, though developed fully in the previous books, takes on a new path of discovery which brings the character full circle. Ms. Bourgo has completed her series with style and warmth, and delivered a great read in the process.

Fantastic ending to a great series ByAlicia Huxtableon September 16, 2016 Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase June V. Bourgo has written such an interesting series and this, book 3 rounds it out perfectly. Georgia and Sean went to hell and back in this series and it's so lovely to know how it turns out
