Top Gun Naval Aviator and a son of one of the wealthiest ranchers in Montana, Tory Nolan never got over losing Gwen Ivey or the fact that she cheated on him and got pregnant with another guy’s baby. When he returns home on leave and has to confront her about repaying a loan due to his old man, he recognizes she’s struggling with a lot more than he ever thought possible. Part of him wants to help … help her, but can he trust her again, much less forgive her for past mistakes?
Strong-willed and stubborn, rancher Gwen Ivey has a secret she is determined to take to the grave. When Tory left her to pursue his love of flying, he broke her heart and left her with a son he knows nothing about. Now he’s back, and it’s proving to be hard to resist him when every time she turns around he’s there, charming the pants off her. No doubt he’s trying to seduce her into handing over a valuable parcel of land to settle the debt she owes his father. Well, if that’s true, Tory has another think coming—but little does Gwen know, she has something coming her way, too, something that will shake her down to her soul.

There were a few typos but no real issues that affected the reading of the story. I enjoyed this though I would say the writing style is a little gritty, so parts didn’t flow as smoothly, maybe a little more editing is needed? Also both the h and H annoyed me a little with their actions towards each other, a lot of trying to protect each other and back firing spectacularly. It would have been great if an epilogue was added, especially with an update of her best friend, but that’s a personal thing because I love reading an update of several months/years later.
However, overall a nice read and I read it in one sitting and only put it down for snacks. If it doesn’t read well I stop start a book over several days before giving up and that didn’t happen in this case.
I would read more from this author in the future.

This book was gripping, well written & the chemistry between the characters sizzled throughout this wonderful read.
Well done. I look forward to more!
I received a free copy of this book however all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
I was drawn into this book as soon as I read ‘orgasm’ on the second page! This is a truly emotional story to follow and I had tears in my eyes on several occasions. The only thing I didn’t like were all the lame double entrendres used, especially in the sex scenes – they truly weren’t needed and I felt they actually took away from the story. All in all however, this is a fantastic book with little dramas happening which I much prefer than reading a book just based on the love story alone.
The book is a good storyline that is captivating. The characters are intriguing, engaging, and well developed.
The Soul Shaker was an amazing book. Tory & Gwen loved each other in high school and never got past that love. Gwen thought she was protecting him by keeping a huge secret from him when he left for flight school? Will they get a second chance at love when he comes back home after 7 years? Will he be able to forgive her for lying to him and the whole town? This book kept my interest the whole time and I really enjoyed reading it.

Tory and Gwen loved each other so much that they lied to each other to secure each others happiness. Lies have a way of coming back to haunt you in the case of Gwen. She became pregnant but with held the truth and fabricated a story that had their school friends against her. Tory broke off with Gwen because he wanted her to go ahead and become a doctor. When he realized his mistake the lies had been circulated and their lives as they knew it would never be the same.

This was a great read. It was a second chance, secret child, romance. Gwen and Tory were best friend, lovers in high school. They got serious and it scared Tory so he broke it off with her, and goes to flight school with the navy. Gwen finds out later she is with child. She never told him, now he is back to help his father. It’s been seven years. Now that Tory is back in town will he find out Gwen’s secret? Will they be able to reconnect? Read this and find out it is worth it. I received it as an arc and voluntarily reviewed it. I recommend it to all.
Is there any time a secret is good? Tory and Gwen will find out in Soul Shaker. Tory went away to school leaving behind his girlfriend Gwen.

When a life altering event happens to Gwen she decides to tell the town and Tory a lie so he will follow his lifelong dream of flying with the Navy.

It centers around Top Gun Tory Nolan, son of a wealthy rancher who left Montana to pursue his dream of flying and Gwen Ivey, the girl he thought had lied to him when she got pregnant .

But can they have a second or even third chance at love or did the lies told destroyed their chances? A touching story about loss, lying in hopes to protect others , trust and true love.
