 Saying goodbye is hard, especially at the end of someone’s life. My aunt, Janice wasn’t someone I saw often. She lived clear across the country but she’d always write to me, at least at Christmas. Her cards were filled with a wonderful note telling me about our family history and what was going on in her life. And what a life it was! She was an adventurer like her parents. Janice traveled the world. Because of her visits to Romania and Ukraine, our family was able to learn more about our family tree. She met with other decedents of our common ancestors and brought back not just important information but also photos and stories. Janice was a closet author. She wrote stories and writeups for her local senior center newsletter, telling stories about her early life. Janice grew up as the oldest of three children in a small Lorain, Ohio neighborhood. If we asked her siblings, they would probably tell tales of her bossiness but also her love of animals. Her looks mirrored her mother’s. She had her same dark hair and mischievous smile. Janice loved her three daughters and grandchildren. She shared photos of them when they were small and proudly spoke of them whenever she’d write or call. The love of her life, Gregor, enjoyed traveling with her as well as world events and culture. With Gregor’s passing, Janice continued her traveling life with friends, although a little closer to home. She loved traveling with her companions at the senior center, from visits to museums to lunch spots in California. In recent months her health had declined. She had been receiving treatment for invasive cancer which has spread throughout her body. While her smile remained, she had been forced to give up traveling. With her passing, she is once more reunited with Gregor and her parents and no longer suffering. We say goodbye but I imagine her free of pain and enjoying her wings.

 Do you remember your first love? I do. He was my childhood friend. We spent a lot of time together growing up. One day in middle school, my feelings changed and I couldn't stop thinking of him. Tracey was my first love and first kiss. But most of all, he was my friend. Throughout my adult life, Tracey and I would talk or get together and recall those early summer days. Author GiGi DeGraham's new book, LUCKY, features an amazing young woman who sees love a little differently. LUCKY is the story of a young woman from the wrong side of the tracks who is forced to go to an upper crust prep school but finds a way to fit in. Now available, you can fall in love with LUCKY for yourself!! Blurb: Can a girl from Sunset Pines Trailer Park really hack it at Halton Prep? How hard can it be? Lucky’s life hasn’t been fortunate, despite her name. Not the rich or even middle-class families ever lived in the Sunset Pines Trailer Park but Lucky and her father have love, even if they don’t have much else. Skipping school wasn’t her brightest idea but Lucky never met a rule she didn’t want to break. Lucky would do anything to keep her father out of jail, but going to Halton Prep for her senior year? Didn’t the judge know kids from the trailer park NEVER step foot into that ‘Richy-Rich’ school? But her choice wasn’t hard. It’s agree to go or her dad spends time behind bars. Whatever. Lucky will do anything to protect her father. She’ll compromise for his sake, but Halton Prep’s dress code isn’t all Lucky must deal with. One hot footballer, Whit Graham has claimed Lucky as his and tries his best to become her only guy. Anyone who gets in his way might need a little friendly reminder, even if they are a star cross country athlete. But Hudson Preston isn’t intimidated by the mighty Whit Graham, or his Hellcat Crew. He doesn’t abide by anyone’s stupid bro-code and sets his sights on Lucky. Two hot guys both want to be her one and only but Lucky’s never seen things the way most people do. Now that she’s on this compromising kick, she’s looking at Whit Graham and Hudson Preston with a new idea in mind. The question is, would they even consider it? There’s only one way to find out, and it’s—Game On. GiGi DeGraham’s coming of age romance will have readers cheering for the unique heroine, Lucky, who sees the world through the lens of possibility and without labels. A young woman who risks it all for the two guys who are willing to go through the fire of High School and emerge stronger than ever. Whit and Hudson will show Lucky what the true meaning of friendship and love is… as well as just how Lucky she is. EXCERPT: Hudson’s phone chimed with a notification. He swiped his screen and saw Whit’s name in his inbox. Whit: Dude, you know I’m dating her, wtf? Hudson: Congratulations. Hudson smirked as he hit send. God, he was asking for it, but he couldn’t resist the smart-ass reply. Hell, maybe it was time for someone to stand up to the mighty Whit Graham. Whit took Lucky home and got back to his house, he flopped down on his bed and picked up his phone. He sent Hudson a message. Whit: She’s mine. Hudson: Hardly. Whit: Back off, man. Hudson: Not going to happen. Whit gritted his teeth. He looked up at the ceiling of his bedroom. This guy was not going to back off. Then, Whit laughed. Hell, he could almost respect Hudson for that—almost. Buy Links: |

What do you think about heroes? Policemen, firemen, military? These are guys (and girls) who put themselves on the line in order to protect and serve. I really admire people like that. They are physically fit and have received training above and beyond basics, that allow them to respond instantly. These are things that I am not able to do. But I believe that these guys make great fathers and lovers. Which is why I LOVE Isobel Reed's latest romance- HERO COMPLEX. Her hero is a former military man who will do anything to keep the heroine safe.
HERO COMPLEX is a part of the Bluestone Series but can be read as a standalone. It's fun that the characters in HERO COMPLEX are ones who show up in the other books. It's like coming home to your hometown and seeing your favorite people.
HERO COMPLEX is an amazing read. One that will draw you in and keep you riveted. Now Available in ebook and print! Grab a copy for yourself today!!
Blurb:
Fake it till you make it, that’s what they say.
And that’s what Ivy was doing. She’d do anything to save her ranch. Anything. Including pretending to be engaged to a handsome, retired Marine to placate her sexist clients. Not that draping herself over Ace was a hardship. It wasn’t. She just wished he could get over his hero complex and stop trying to save her. There were far better ways they could be spending their time.
Sweet, shy, and babbling Ivy had gotten so far under Ace’s skin, he knew he was in trouble. Faking a relationship may have been his idea but he knew deep down he didn’t stand a chance with her in real life. Medically discharged from the military, it wasn’t just internal battle scars he’d been left with, he also had some big ugly ones on his face too. If he couldn’t even look himself in the mirror, no one else ever would be able to either. Especially not the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on.
Can these two wounded souls turn their fake relationship into a real one?
HERO COMPLEX- the third book in the Bluestone Series is a sizzling fake engagement story featuring a scarred Marine and the woman who sees only his big heart. HERO COMPLEX features wide open spaces and ranch life along the lines of Becca Turner’s Cowboys of Oklahoma series and D’Ann Lindun’s sexy Black Mountain books. While it is a part of a series, HERO COMPLEX can be read as a standalone. Don’t miss this captivating and heartfelt romance, pick up your copy today!
EXCERPT:
The sun wasn’t even up yet, and Ivy was already having an existential crisis. Even the warm, orange glow from the table lamp did nothing to flatter the reflection staring back at her. One thing was for sure though, no matter how long she looked, nothing was going to change anytime soon.
Internally she berated herself. She didn’t have time for this. She had chores to do. Horses to feed. And a sexy-as-hell man to try not to humiliate herself in front of.
“F***ing YouTube.” She huffed under her breath before dragging herself away from the tilt of her floor-length mirror.
Damn you, Pricilla28! I’m not feeling sexy OR confident. What a load of cr*p.
There was no time for Ivy to wallow in the YouTube star’s betrayal. Or dwell on her poor judgment at trying out a new hair tutorial at stupid o’clock in the morning. Right now, she had things to do. And that meant leaving the confines of her bedroom with her new hairstyle, which was much more male Viking warrior than the sexy, feminine goddess look she was going for.
Damnit all to hell.
Letting out a heavy sigh, Ivy dragged herself and her manly braid downstairs in search of caffeine. Caffeine wouldn’t disappoint her at least. Caffeine was consistent. Reliable. Not at all filled with lies.
With coffee brewed, she was just one sip away from bliss when a loud knock had her cursing again. Back was that funny feeling in her stomach. She knew exactly who was at the door. It had been the same person for the past five days now: Ace. Sweet, kind, thoughtful Ace. Quite possibly the most beautiful man she’d ever seen.
Stop swooning and get it together.

I admit it... I'm in love with Ohio. The heartland of the United States, Ohio is filled with rolling hills, rivers, lakes and lush fields. I was born in Ohio and lived in a small town along Lake Erie's coastline until I was 18. It seemed like a perfect childhood.
Lucky for me, Author Libby Kay has set her Buckeye Falls series in Ohio. I've devoured all her books and now here's another one!! FALLING AGAIN continues her small town romance but this time features the mayor and his wife. These two have appeared in her other books but as side characters. In FALLING AGAIN, they are front and center. FALLING AGAIN releases on June 13th. Grab your copy today!
Blurb:
Welcome back to Buckeye Falls, Ohio!
Does this small town mayor have the political savvy to negotiate his way back into his wife’s heart?
From the outside, Mayor Anthony Snyder and his wife Natalie have it all. Adorable children, a lovely home, and a never-ending supply of free food from the local diner. But behind closed doors, this duo struggles to stay connected. The sparkle they show Buckeye Falls has turned a little dull on the home front.
Over the last decade, things became hectic in the Snyder household. Anthony was elected to office, following in his father’s footsteps. Unfortunately, he’s reminded regularly that these are big shoes to fill. Being the best mayor takes a lot of time—time he’s not spending with his family.
Natalie prides herself on being everything to everyone, but the job of a wife hasn’t been smooth sailing. Wrapped up in her own growing business and their kids’ activities, her time with Anthony has dwindled faster than her secret stash of Halloween candy. Natalie longs for quality time with the man she loves, but it never seems to be in the cards.
A chance to visit their family lake house promises a week away from it all, but can these two reconnect when there’s no distractions? Or is it time for these high achievers to admit that love might be the one thing they can’t master?
With a little help from the residents of Buckeye Falls, this power couple will find their way back to happily ever after.
Falling Again is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone read. Featuring similar marriage conflicts as in Lyssa Kay Adams’ The Bromance Book Club and the small-town romance of Susan Mallery’s Fool’s Gold series, fans will love this second chance love story. After all, who doesn’t deserve to fall in love again?

The 1980's were a wondrous time. I was in high school and so in love. The music and fashions are fondly remembered. But the 1980's is more than Cindy Lauper and popped collars. It was a time when girls began to demand more than marriage and children. We looked at careers. Technology was in its infancy with computers the size of small closets and cell phones that came with a box.
I love THE DANCE for the 1980's references but it's the love story between Cate and Noah that had me turning the pages! These are two young adults who are trying to figure out what they want in life and have turned a trip around the rink into a message about life and love.
THE DANCE is an emotional story that will engage readers as they connect with these amazing characters. Author Grea Warner is known for her powerful stories and THE DANCE is another fabulous one!
Now available in Ebook and paperback, grab a copy of THE DANCE for yourself.
Stepping onto the ice was frightening. Doing so required trust … and not just that of her feet. It also involved Cate’s head and heart. Trusting meant she had to forget what happened in the past.
At twenty-two years old, Cate Lentz is starting to understand Noah’s comparison of skating to a dance. The same, she realizes, can be said about life itself. You have to release the walls surrounding you in order to feel light and free. You also need the right partner. With the NHL rookie at her side, Cate is beginning to see a new and exciting life-canvas in front of her—similar to the paintings she creates in her art studio.
But as smooth as ice is, everyone tumbles and falls sometimes. When her ex, Leo, makes a reappearance in Cate’s life, his mental instability creates such turmoil and heartache that it’s hard for her to stand back up. Can she find a way to dance again after tragedy strikes?
Pulling at heartstrings and dealing with realistic issues, The Dance is a gripping tale that travels the reader back to the year 1980. This emotional story will leave you with a true appreciation for being both independently strong but also grateful for those who are by your side … no matter what.
EXCERPT
Glancing at the paper, I mentally acknowledged it was, indeed, a local number. And I resigned myself to the fact of his new residency. “Okay. Um, Noah and I need to go.”
There weren’t any “nice seeing you agains” between us or “nice meeting yous” between the men. The fact was, I hadn’t even introduced them. Although, I was pretty sure both guys understood each other’s role in my life. There was only silence as Noah opened the passenger door for me and then walked around the car to get into his side. Leo stood once again against the gallery wall, with his hands shoved into his front pockets.
As we drove farther away, the image of my ex in the rearview mirror got to the small point in a perspective drawing known as the vanishing point. Even though I could no longer see him, I knew he was not gone. I could definitely sense him … and I wanted that to go away, too.
Like a near savage, I tore out the elastic band holding back my hair and flung it out the window. It was cathartic but not what I needed most. “Noah … hand.” It came out part demand, part plea, as I extended my left arm in his direction.
Silent until then, he looked over at me, paused for a beat, and then spoke softly but directly. “You didn’t want it a few minutes or so ago.”
Oh, man. In addition to the unnerving feeling of the unexpected encounter with Leo, I was emotionally toppled knowing I had, unwillingly, hurt Noah. “I’m sorry. It wouldn’t have gone over well with him, but, believe me, I did. You have no idea how mu—” As I started the last word, his hand encapsulated mine protectively, as if we were on ice and I was in danger of falling down a hill at the same time.

When I was in high school, I had two guys that I was seeing. They didn't necessarily know I was seeing both of them. I felt that I needed to choose. I couldn't date both of them. If LUCKY were to see me, she'd have said... Why!!
I am in love with the main character in Author GiGi DeGraham's latest book, LUCKY. Her heroine, named Lucky, is a forward thinking girl. One who doesn't follow the rules. In fact, she makes her own. Honestly, I wish I was more like her. Nevertheless, the book LUCKY is a wonderful story of growing up and going for what you want (and what you deserve).
LUCKY is available now for preorder, with a release date of May 23rd. You will want to get this book. It's one that will stay with you. So don't miss out!
Blurb:
Can a girl from Sunset Pines Trailer Park really hack it at Halton Prep? How hard can it be?
Lucky’s life hasn’t been fortunate, despite her name. Not the rich or even middle-class families ever lived in the Sunset Pines Trailer Park but Lucky and her father have love, even if they don’t have much else. Skipping school wasn’t her brightest idea but Lucky never met a rule she didn’t want to break.
Lucky would do anything to keep her father out of jail, but going to Halton Prep for her senior year? Didn’t the judge know kids from the trailer park NEVER step foot into that ‘Richy-Rich’ school? But her choice wasn’t hard. It’s agree to go or her dad spends time behind bars.
Whatever. Lucky will do anything to protect her father. She’ll compromise for his sake, but Halton Prep’s dress code isn’t all Lucky must deal with.
One hot footballer, Whit Graham has claimed Lucky as his and tries his best to become her only guy. Anyone who gets in his way might need a little friendly reminder, even if they are a star cross country athlete. But Hudson Preston isn’t intimidated by the mighty Whit Graham, or his Hellcat Crew. He doesn’t abide by anyone’s stupid bro-code and sets his sights on Lucky.
Two hot guys both want to be her one and only but Lucky’s never seen things the way most people do. Now that she’s on this compromising kick, she’s looking at Whit Graham and Hudson Preston with a new idea in mind.
The question is, would they even consider it? There’s only one way to find out, and it’s—Game On.
GiGi DeGraham’s coming of age romance will have readers cheering for the unique heroine, Lucky, who sees the world through the lens of possibility and without labels. A young woman who risks it all for the two guys who are willing to go through the fire of High School and emerge stronger than ever. Whit and Hudson will show Lucky what the true meaning of friendship and love is… as well as just how Lucky she is.
I am in love with the main character in Author GiGi DeGraham's latest book, LUCKY. Her heroine, named Lucky, is a forward thinking girl. One who doesn't follow the rules. In fact, she makes her own. Honestly, I wish I was more like her. Nevertheless, the book LUCKY is a wonderful story of growing up and going for what you want (and what you deserve).
LUCKY is available now for preorder, with a release date of May 23rd. You will want to get this book. It's one that will stay with you. So don't miss out!
Blurb:
Can a girl from Sunset Pines Trailer Park really hack it at Halton Prep? How hard can it be?
Lucky’s life hasn’t been fortunate, despite her name. Not the rich or even middle-class families ever lived in the Sunset Pines Trailer Park but Lucky and her father have love, even if they don’t have much else. Skipping school wasn’t her brightest idea but Lucky never met a rule she didn’t want to break.
Lucky would do anything to keep her father out of jail, but going to Halton Prep for her senior year? Didn’t the judge know kids from the trailer park NEVER step foot into that ‘Richy-Rich’ school? But her choice wasn’t hard. It’s agree to go or her dad spends time behind bars.
Whatever. Lucky will do anything to protect her father. She’ll compromise for his sake, but Halton Prep’s dress code isn’t all Lucky must deal with.
One hot footballer, Whit Graham has claimed Lucky as his and tries his best to become her only guy. Anyone who gets in his way might need a little friendly reminder, even if they are a star cross country athlete. But Hudson Preston isn’t intimidated by the mighty Whit Graham, or his Hellcat Crew. He doesn’t abide by anyone’s stupid bro-code and sets his sights on Lucky.

About the Author:
I stood in line at a gas station waiting for my turn to pay. It was a hot afternoon in April. I had just signed up for a summer class called “Book Bootcamp,” during my undergraduate program. The man in front of me in the long line wore a mechanic’s uniform. He was grease smudged and death gripped a cold, heavy case of Bud in bottles. Someone was buying a bunch of lottery tickets in front of us and we shared a moment of mutual irritation as strangers in lines after work sometimes do.
While the mechanic white-knuckled the cardboard handle, I took him in with the eye of a writer. He tossed a single sucker on top of his beer. After he paid, he let out a relieved sigh, gave me a head nod, then headed outside to his old truck. As I suspected, it started up smoothly, despite its age, and I noticed the waiting passenger. A little ponytail turned and a sucker was placed in her outstretched palm. I stepped up for my turn to pay, and in my mind, a character was born. That’s how I (sort of) met Bud Luck and he became the foundation and unlikely hero of this novel.
I love telling that story about how unexpectedly inspiration can strike, and I loved the challenge of writing Lucky. I hope you will enjoy reading it and I thank you, the reader, for investing your time in my work. I look forward to reading your review and encourage you to leave one. I believe writers and readers are collaborators in a unique relationship with each other. I read, appreciate, and utilize your feedback.
When I’m not writing (which is never), I live, play, and learn in New Orleans. While I do enjoy writing in multiple genres, Romance is my favorite. For fun, I enjoy fixing up old houses. Many of my story ideas develop while sanding and painting or doing yard work. Music also inspires me.
You’ll always find me with an audiobook in my ear. I prefer the outdoors when the weather permits, going on rock or fossil hunts or visiting local rock shops. Otherwise, I’m extremely boring, clacking away at my keyboard until the wee hours. I enjoy wearing funny T-Shirts with sayings like: All my friends are made up or I live in my own worlds. I do believe downtime should be spent on a porch swing in the south with a good book in your hand.

Anyone in a relationship has faced tough times. The beginning of a romance is all pink hearts and butterfly kisses but that is often replaced by reminders to take out the garbage or picking up after the kids. All of the other parts of your life sometimes zap the romance out of your relationship.
I love that Author Julie Navickas doesn't brush the tough times aside. She shines a light on those challenges and gives readers a happy ending to embrace. In the final book in the Trading Heartbeats Trilogy- I'LL LOVE YOU TOMORROW, the married hero and heroine deal with all the junk that gets in the way of the romance.
Lauren and Mitch have always known they should be together. Their love was spontaneous and comfortable. They fit together. Their life was magical...until it wasn't. Over time responsibilities forced them to drift apart.
This story really spoke to me. I've been married before to my high school sweetheart and our romance was one I thought would last forever. Sadly, we couldn't put our life back together but it only made me cheer all that louder for Lauren and Mitch. Trust me.... you will want to grab a copy of this story for yourself! And lucky for you... it's out now!!
Blurb:
Las Vegas. The city of lights, smiles, and memories.
Lauren Templeton knew at six-years-old she would one day marry Mitch Benson. He began earning the title of soulmate the moment he let her cut in line for the swing set. Twenty years later and Mitch sealed the deal at a cheap Vegas wedding chapel. That night, the modest diamond on her finger shined brighter than all the lights in Sin City.
But as the honeymoon years of wedded bliss fade, Mitch pulls away without reason. Confused and hurt by his sudden change of heart, Lauren pours every ounce of her soul into Pier Ninety-Two—her once swanky, now barely surviving restaurant in downtown Los Angeles.
When Pier Ninety-Two burns to the ground in a grease fire, Lauren is left with nothing but sorrow, legal consequences, and a failing marriage. She reels from the sudden, heartbreaking losses—and mourns the life and love she once shared with Mitch. Fueled by the flame of injustice, Lauren stacks her chips, ready to risk it all on red, consequences be damned. After all, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
Jump right into the final book in the Trading Heartbeats trilogy! While each story can be read as a standalone, common characters are woven throughout each book that will leave you pining for more. Julie Navickas’ stories are full of raw emotion, heart-stopping plot twists, and have no shortage of flawed heroes.
You won’t want to miss a beat in this trilogy!
EXCERPT:
Mitch closed his eyes as the air left his lungs. His vision darkened, fogging all coherent thoughts in his brain. Her floral perfume invaded his nose, the sweet scent both calming and relaxing.
That can’t be lavender.
As he opened his eyes, his heartbeat increased as a blonde curl tickled his cheek. “You can’t be here for a story, Tess. My last name isn’t Templeton,” he whispered, and tugged at the hem of her shirt as her lips continued their pursuit of passion. His fingers glided along the smooth skin at her waist.
This is so wrong. What am I doing?
She sighed. “It’s shitty watching the person you love find happiness in someone--or something—else,” she murmured in his ear, nipping his lobe with her teeth. “And I think… that’s something we also share in common.”
You see right through me.
Her fingers dipped below his t-shirt, traveling along his chest as her hips rocked on top of him.
Sputtering for air, Mitch gripped her hands and halted their exploration. Her ragged breaths competed with the creeks of the floorboards, the house seemingly settling in with each echo.
“I did want another article,” she whispered, her gaze finding his as her hands obeyed captivity. She shook her head, and forced the loose curls from her face. “But now, Mitch Benson, I think I just want you instead.”
The blood pounded in his veins, forcing a ringing in his ears to overcome her soft voice. The world muffled as she resumed rocking against his pelvis, the pressure and friction clouding his mind as pleasure superseded all rational thought.
His body tingled, bolts of shivers shooting along his skin like a sudden summer storm, gaining momentum in hurried seconds.
“We shouldn’t be doing this. I shouldn’t be doing this,” he choked out.

Fake it till you make it, that’s what they say.
And that’s what Ivy was doing. She’d do anything to save her ranch. Anything. Including pretending to be engaged to a handsome, retired Marine to placate her sexist clients. Not that draping herself over Ace was a hardship. It wasn’t. She just wished he could get over his hero complex and stop trying to save her. There were far better ways they could be spending their time.
Sweet, shy, and babbling Ivy had gotten so far under Ace’s skin, he knew he was in trouble. Faking a relationship may have been his idea but he knew deep down he didn’t stand a chance with her in real life. Medically discharged from the military, it wasn’t just internal battle scars he’d been left with, he also had some big ugly ones on his face too. If he couldn’t even look himself in the mirror, no one else ever would be able to either. Especially not the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on.

EXCERPT:
The door to the parlor opened and Buck’s son Jefferson Buchanan, entered the room. He saw Savvy and grinned. “Hello, Dad. Hello, Audrey. Good to see you, Savannah,” he said.
Savvy stared without blinking and nodded to him.
Morgan leaned over to Caleb and said, “I swear to God, I heard violins when he looked at her.” Caleb nodded agreement but never took his gaze off the couple.
“Please join us, Jeff. There’s one seat left next to Savannah. I had so hoped you’d be able to be here today,” Audrey said.
“I smell a setup,” Morgan whispered.
“No kidding,” Caleb replied. “But by Audrey or Buck?”
“Hmm, I don’t know.”
Jeff sat next to Savvy. She closed her eyes and took a deep, cleansing breath. Morgan knew from experience that Savannah was back in control. “Well, Jeff, what brings you here today?” she asked.
“My father’s wedding. And you, Savannah.”
“Hunh?” Savvy squeaked.
“You. There’s so much I wanted to talk about when you were here before, but our schedules didn’t allow it. Today, I’m free all afternoon. How about you?”
“Sure, yes. I think I’m available as long as Mama doesn’t need me.”
“You go on and enjoy reminiscing about the old days. Buck and I will entertain Caleb and Morgan. Just be back in time to get ready for the rehearsal dinner,” Audrey said.
Jeff stood and took Savvy’s hand. She let him lead her to the front door. “We’re not going to leave the property. Dad, if you need me, just call. Audrey, if you need Savannah, just call my cell.”
Morgan noticed that Savvy was not as sure-footed as usual. She seemed ready to faint or fall over. “Did you notice that Savvy was at a loss for words and stumbling, besides?” she asked.
Caleb answered, “Yep. I bet that hasn’t happened before.”
“Not in this century,” Morgan said.

Do you like chocolate? If you do – frankly, I’m an unrepentant chocoholic – then you’ll enjoy my newest release Anything You Want. When my editor at Extasy said they were looking for chocolate-related (and other treat-related) romances, I knew Anything You Want was perfect for them... and anyone else who enjoys two smokin-hot billionaires, a sweet yet feisty heroine, luscious chocolate, a decadent resort, and romance that can't be stopped.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this sneak peek… preferably with a box of chocolates nearby. 😊
Blurb:
At a hedonistic resort, her indecent cravings are about to be sated…
With the big three-o only days away, Jamie’s had it with dieting, exercise, and being alone. Off she goes to Wicked Desires, a decadent Caribbean resort where clothing is optional, carnal appetites rule, and food, especially chocolate, is celebrated. If only she had a guy to indulge with…
How about two? Billionaires Creed and Tav are checking out ideas for their new video game. The play features a resort where anything goes and an unlikely heroine as the star. Jamie’s luscious curves and sweet vulnerability make her the perfect type to base their game on. Since she’s also in IT—having put her dream to create candy on hold—she understands their lingo.
Hell, their desires are perfectly in tune with hers, whether it’s food play during meals, punishment in the discipline room, or a romantic evening on the beach.
When it comes to sweet delights and these two hunks…who says she can’t have anything she wants?
So sit back, relax, and enjoy this sneak peek… preferably with a box of chocolates nearby. 😊
Blurb:
At a hedonistic resort, her indecent cravings are about to be sated…
With the big three-o only days away, Jamie’s had it with dieting, exercise, and being alone. Off she goes to Wicked Desires, a decadent Caribbean resort where clothing is optional, carnal appetites rule, and food, especially chocolate, is celebrated. If only she had a guy to indulge with…
How about two? Billionaires Creed and Tav are checking out ideas for their new video game. The play features a resort where anything goes and an unlikely heroine as the star. Jamie’s luscious curves and sweet vulnerability make her the perfect type to base their game on. Since she’s also in IT—having put her dream to create candy on hold—she understands their lingo.

EXCERPT:
Pretending she was in full control of her lust, Jamie slipped her fingers across Tav’s palm. God. The heat and texture of his skin was as wonderful as Creed’s, his handshake also meant to embrace, not bruise.
Damn, did she want them to do her.
Both looked at her expectantly.
Why? “What?”
Creed’s smile turned mischievous, even a little tender. “What’s your name?”
“You didn’t tell us,” Tav said.
Right. “Jamie Parker. Nice to meet you. This place is something, isn’t it?”
“Hey there!” A redhead appeared at their side, wiggling her fingers in greeting. “I’m Francine. This is Karen.” She gestured to the brunette next to her then spoke to Tav and Creed. “We need two more for our nude volleyball game. You guys wanna join?”
Tav released Jamie’s hand.
Her spirits nosedived.
She waited for him and Creed to take off, leaving her to start the mingling process again. Sadly, they weren’t hers to keep. Both could go wherever they wanted. If she were a masochist, she could even tag along, like the fifth wheel, and cheer them on while they were play--
“Thanks, but no,” Creed said. “I’m busy.”
Tav nodded. “Same here.”
“No prob.” Francine offered a thousand-watt smile. “We’ll catch you guys later.”
Jamie struggled not to pump her fists, thrilled at how this moment turned out, except she didn’t understand any of it.
They’d actually turned those babes down. Why? And what were they busy with? Her? Seriously?
She hated being so uncertain of herself, but hell, having lived with nothing but rejection from the opposite sex didn’t make one bubble over with confidence. “Do you guys work here?”
Surprise flashed on their faces.
Tav spoke first. “No. What made you think we did?”
Not about to point out the obvious—that they’d focused on her to the exclusion of the other women—she shrugged. “You didn’t want to join the game. Might be fun rather than standing around here.”
Creed tapped his chest. “You don’t seem to mind.”
Already he read her too well. She forced herself to look at his face rather than his pecs. “I’m not into sports.”
“How about this place?” Tav grew serious. “Having a good time?”
She might if she hit it off with them. So far, things looked promising. “I have no complaints…but I only got here an hour ago. You guys?”
“We arrived yesterday,” Creed said.
Tav chimed in, “To look around.”
Yet they were still in the get-acquainted section rather than frolicking like Adam with countless Eves? Didn’t make sense.
However, the cryptic way they’d answered reminded her of the guys she worked with in IT. She always had to frame her questions carefully to get more than a two-word response from them.
“Look around for what?” She gestured to the room in general. “The facilities? Didn’t you plan your itineraries before arriving? The details are online, or you could have video conferenced or Skyped with the Wizard of Wishes.”
Creed scratched his cheek and fought a smile. “God, that name’s so dumb.”
She laughed. “Incredibly so. What packages did you sign up for?” She was betting on sex and all the kinky stuff the resort encouraged.
“We didn’t.” Tav frowned slightly. “We’re here to work.”
She took them in. Hell, she drank in every part of them, including the thick ridges between their legs.
Call her crazy, but those bulges seemed to have grown a little bigger and harder since they’d been speaking with her. “Work at what?”
Tav spoke first. “A project.”
“It was missing an element,” Creed said. “We just couldn’t get it right.”
Tav smiled. “Until we saw you.”

About Tina:
Tina’s an Amazon and international bestselling novelist who writes passionate romance for every taste – ‘heat with heart’ – for traditional publishers and indie. Booklist, Publisher’s Weekly, Romantic Times and numerous online sites have praised her work.

She’s featured in the Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market. Before penning romances, she worked at a major Hollywood production company in Story Direction.
On a less serious note: she’s an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, brakes for Mexican restaurants, and has been known to moan like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally while wolfing down tostadas. She’s flown a single-engine airplane (freaking scary), rewired an old house using an ‘electricity for dummies’ book, and is horribly shy despite the hot romances she writes.

The 1980's was a big decade for me. I was in high school and early college. I had gotten married and bought my first home. The 1980's music, current events, and fashions remain with me today. But is it history??
I love that everything comes around again. Young adults are finding the early punk rock music and big bands of the 80's and falling in love. The bright colors and popped collars are starting to come back as well. But I wouldn't call it history. It's past... but history is of a time before my generation, before my parents generation and probably before my grandparents generation. What do you think?
Grea Warner has a wonderful story set in the 1980's. The Dance will release April 25th and is set in those magical years. Her characters are facing big changes, first jobs and a first love. So be sure to preorder a copy for yourself, whether the 1980's are a part of your history or not!
Blurb:
Stepping onto the ice was frightening. Doing so required trust … and not just that of her feet. It also involved Cate’s head and heart. Trusting meant she had to forget what happened in the past.
At twenty-two years old, Cate Lentz is starting to understand Noah’s comparison of skating to a dance. The same, she realizes, can be said about life itself. You have to release the walls surrounding you in order to feel light and free. You also need the right partner. With the NHL rookie at her side, Cate is beginning to see a new and exciting life-canvas in front of her—similar to the paintings she creates in her art studio.
But as smooth as ice is, everyone tumbles and falls sometimes. When her ex, Leo, makes a reappearance in Cate’s life, his mental instability creates such turmoil and heartache that it’s hard for her to stand back up. Can she find a way to dance again after tragedy strikes?
Pulling at heartstrings and dealing with realistic issues, The Dance is a gripping tale that travels the reader back to the year 1980. This emotional story will leave you with a true appreciation for being both independently strong but also grateful for those who are by your side … no matter what.

Vegas holds a special place in my heart. It's where I married my husband during one hot August day. We decided since we'd both been married previously, we wanted to do a destination wedding. No big fuss and certainly just us! Vegas had everything we could ever want!
So when Julie Navickas's latest book came across my desk I jumped at the chance to read it. Here was a wonderful couple. Married in Vegas, but their romance was having problems and it could signal the end!
I'LL LOVE YOU TOMORROW is a wonderful story about what real love takes. It's about more than the first blush of love. It's about loving someone when times are tough and you feel like you've given your all.
I'LL LOVE YOU TOMORROW is up for preorder and will release on April 18th. Make sure you grab a copy for yourself! You won't be sorry!!
Blurb:
Las Vegas. The city of lights, smiles, and memories.
Lauren Templeton knew at six-years-old she would one day marry Mitch Benson. He began earning the title of soulmate the moment he let her cut in line for the swing set. Twenty years later and Mitch sealed the deal at a cheap Vegas wedding chapel. That night, the modest diamond on her finger shined brighter than all the lights in Sin City.
But as the honeymoon years of wedded bliss fade, Mitch pulls away without reason. Confused and hurt by his sudden change of heart, Lauren pours every ounce of her soul into Pier Ninety-Two—her once swanky, now barely surviving restaurant in downtown Los Angeles.
When Pier Ninety-Two burns to the ground in a grease fire, Lauren is left with nothing but sorrow, legal consequences, and a failing marriage. She reels from the sudden, heartbreaking losses—and mourns the life and love she once shared with Mitch. Fueled by the flame of injustice, Lauren stacks her chips, ready to risk it all on red, consequences be damned. After all, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
Jump right into the final book in the Trading Heartbeats trilogy! While each story can be read as a standalone, common characters are woven throughout each book that will leave you pining for more. Julie Navickas’ stories are full of raw emotion, heart-stopping plot twists, and have no shortage of flawed heroes.
You won’t want to miss a beat in this trilogy!

I am very fortunate that I'm married to my best friend. Mark is someone that I enjoy spending time with and we do every day. We talk about so many different topics from politics to TV shows. And while I know this is strange... we don't fight and very rarely disagree about something.
Friendship can sound boring, without sparks but that's not true for my marriage, either. Nor is the relationship in BREAKING THROUGH boring!
LE Wagensveld's latest release in her Stevenson Family series, BREAKING THROUGH is out today! Available in ebook and print, BREAKING THROUGH is a friend to lover romance and features a small town couple who have known each other forever!
Blurb:
When one kiss forever changes their friendship, Sam and Charlotte must make a choice. Will they take a chance on love? Or remain where they’ve always been… in the friend zone?
Charlotte Baker never thought of herself as obtuse. But, when fireworks ignite between her and one of her oldest friends, the feelings are a complete surprise. Now, Charlotte can’t stop thinking of that night… or how it felt to be in Sam Stevenson’s arms. One thing is certain. She’ll never think of Sam as a brother again.
Sam Stevenson has loved Charlotte Baker for most of his life. He’s shut the feelings away and never told anyone how he feels, especially not Charlotte. But, during his brother’s wedding with drinks flowing and love in the air, Sam’s feelings get the best of him. Kissing Charlotte changes everything. Sam doesn’t know how he’ll ever see her and not touch her; talk to her and not taste her.
Now, with their friendship on rocky ground, an emergency pushes them together once more. The question is, where do they go from here?
L.E. Wagensveld draws readers in with compelling characters and weaves stories you can’t put down. Breaking Through is her latest, following up her debut BREAKING DOWN with another Stevenson sibling who doesn’t want to upset the “friend zone”.
EXCERPT:
“That was the scariest, most fucked-up moment of my life. All I could picture was you when you were small, crying because you’d seen the cat get hit on the road.”
Sam squeezed his eyes shut. He had been six and still remembered it clear as day. Dan’s voice forged on. Sam couldn’t bring himself to look across the table.
“I patted you on the head and told you life wasn’t fair, and things happened. To stop crying about it. I never told you, but I went out that night and buried the cat. Washed the blood off the road so you wouldn’t see it when you went to school the next day.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that?” Sam asked. It would have made the pain of that incident less to see that side of his father. To be given a chance to say goodbye to their pet.
“I suppose it scared me. Scared of the emotion. Your mom was crying, and you were crying, and I felt… I felt as though I’d failed you both somehow.”
“There was nothing you could have done. You were right. Life happens.”
“You were six. You needed more.”
“Yes.” There was no point in lying. “I did.”
“Part of me always wondered if that was the moment.” Dan avoided Sam’s eyes. He stared down so hard at the chunk of newspaper that Sam wouldn’t have been shocked to see it burst into flame. “I wondered if that was the pivotal moment where I fucked everything up between us.”

E is an unashamed romance lover, a passion she attributes to her late maternal grandmother, who was rarely without a Harlequin novel close at hand. In her books, L. E seeks to create an escape for her readers, a place to go when they need a smile or some warm and fuzzy feelings. L. E looks forward to a life full of words and sharing each story by story. www.lewagensveld.com

Nurse Morgan has her hands full. She's a full time ER nurse and she lives in a home with meddling ghosts. She's more apt to be lifting a glass of wine than chasing after a guy but Caleb falls into her lap. He's a doctor and he doesn't run screaming when the ghosts show up.
Their romance isn't without problems but they always find a moment to laugh. Or have a drink... but mostly laugh. I love a story that is without the angst... And the Nurse Morgan series is a winner. You can't go wrong with DISTANT RELATIVES!
Now up for preorder, DISTANT RELATIVES releases on April 4th, so don't miss out!
Blurb:
Just when Emergency Nurse Morgan Cutler thought her life was under control, spirits from the other world interfere. AGAIN.
Her best friend’s mother is getting married and Savannah is overdosing on chocolates and alcohol every chance she gets! What’s a best friend to do but travel with her for the extravagant social event. It figures, just when Morgan Cutler thinks everything is going along as normally as possible, something triggers the dominoes to fall around her. Once again, her world is being turned upside down and she’s in the center of the storm. Some days you have to embrace the chaos in order to survive but Morgan isn’t only dealing with Earthly issues -- but Ghostly ones, too!
There’s a new ghost who wishes her harm and another spirit is stalking her. Then there’s her ghostly roommates. Jonathan Wilkerson is depressed and inconsolable and his wife, Elisabeth, is worried about him and wants Morgan to help. Gloria, the Good Sam Hospital resident ghost, pressures Morgan to help solve cold cases involving murders, so the dearly departed can enjoy eternal peace. With all this on her plate, it’s a wonder Morgan has time to sleep!
Dr. Caleb Lightfoot, the perfect man for her is giving hints about settling down. But she can’t even think about commitment and a future when her life is so chaotic. Will he be patient and wait for her to get a handle on her psychic abilities and a house full of ghosts from the other side? Or will he keep his distance and let the flame of their passion burn out?
What’s a girl to do?
Settle in folks and grab a scotch, this storm is heading south from Detroit to Atlanta and overseas! Just when you thought it was safe for Morgan to consider a life and true love, the ghosts are set to drag her back kicking and screaming to settle their debts.
