 Who is the one celebrity you would love to date?? What if you had the chance to pretend to be their fiancee and spend time with them?? I'd have a mess on my hands. I'm very much a quiet type and being around them would put me in the limelight. But I have two I would chance it for- Tom Hiddleston and Gerard Butler. Both have a wonderful sense of humor and sexy accents. Those are the only two reasons! But each of us have one... who is yours?? BLURB: Charismatic Bollywood actor, Vir Seth declares he won't be trapped into marriage by a scheming woman. When Soumya Ninan overhears his reasons, she decides to punish him by doing exactly that. Soumya Ninan unleashes a storm when she announces to the newspapers that Vir is engaged. To whom? Why Soumya herself! The battle has just begun. EXCERPT: “So you’re Soumya Ninan,” he said, his tone curt. “Yes,” she mumbled. He was clearly imposing his worth on her. She knew perfectly well that her gray kurta and dark churidar pants in no way matched up to the expensive clothing of his typical female companions. By those standards, she was dressed like a maid. But did he have to look at her like that? As if studying every hair on her head? She dropped her head and wrung her hands, as he continued to survey her. “The girl I’m supposedly engaged to,” he continued. Her gaze shot up. “I—I can explain that.” He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Can you now?” he mused. “You can explain how I’m engaged to be married to a complete stranger, can you?” His light eyes were furious. “Go on then. This better be good!” Soumya squirmed in her seat. “I wouldn’t say that,” she said clumsily. “But I have an explanation. I’m not sure you’re going to like it.” This time, he snapped. “I don’t quite like being engaged to a girl I’ve never met before! Nobody in their right mind would. Now hurry up! What’s your story?” Available Now! |

There really wasn’t any other path. Grea Warner knew from a young age that she wanted to write. She was born to write. First it was in diaries with little metal keys and in written tales that she slipped to friends in study hall. School newspapers, a college television drama, and internships in the soap opera world were next. After producing and writing a local show, she decided to delve into the world of the novelist. When her fingers aren’t tapping out her latest book filled with angst and romance, Grea can be found hiking the trails or jamming to her favorite country artists on the radio.

Rescue Love by Melissa Keir
Dogs, Danger, and a Cross-Country Trip…. Nothing has gone easy in Alexis Bandit’s life. On a trip to rescue mistreated puppies and drive them to their forever homes, she meets up with a tuxedo-clad cowboy on the run and offers him a ride.
Jason Fields thought he had it all—a beautiful fiancée, a loving family, and great job—until he overheard his future father-in-law talk about arranging his murder. Now he’s on the run, without money, a phone, or a credit card. With a killer on their tail, four mischievous pups, and many miles of highway, what could go wrong?
Snow Bird Springs: TROY by Cheryl Gorman
Artist Alexandra “Alex” Kent has lost her creative mojo and is desperate to get it back. Upon learning of the legend of Snow Bird Springs, Colorado, she arrives in town ready to do whatever is needed to find it again. The legend demands she sacrifice something of value in exchange for having her wish granted. But her most valued possession is her wounded heart, and she vows never to give it away again.
There is nothing Troy Slade loves more than ranching except maybe women as long as they aren’t interested in any long-term commitments. He has seen firsthand how love can tear a man’s life apart. But when he meets Alex, she touches a nerve he doesn’t want touched and makes him long for a family of his own. Because of his background, he doesn’t believe he is good enough. Can Alex sacrifice her heart for Troy’s love? Will Troy sacrifice the belief he isn’t good enough for Alex’s love and the family he has always wanted?
UPSTAGING THE COWBOY by Leslie P. Garcia
Can a former Marine and a Hollywood diva facing apocalyptic changes in their lives salvage new beginnings together? When Stone Winters joined the Marines, he always meant to come home. A woman’s impossible dream kept him away so long that he doesn’t think there’s anything left—especially not when he meets Price Adams, a film star with another impossible dream. He just doesn’t think he’s up for that again. Price Adams traded in a childhood on her grandparents’ ranch for Hollywood glitz in spite of being a teenage mother. Torn between the stardom she won and full-time custody of her daughter, she accepts one last role—in Cowboy Apocalypse, an inane movie about zombies being filmed on ranches around deep south Texas. Burned by men more times than she can remember, Price doesn’t want a man in her life—especially not one who looks down on her career and the courage she needs to let it all go.
COWBOY KIND OF FORGIVENESS by Becca Turner
For many, Christmas is a joyous time of year meant for families and friends to gather near. For Everly Thibodaux, it's a time of tragedy and heartbreak. Her twin brother died before the holiday in a freak accident, leaving her alone and empty. Her brother's best friend, the man she carried strong feelings for, witnessed the event that shattered both their worlds. All her anger falls on him for destroying her life.
Swift Scott's life crumbled until he fell into a bottle to drown the pain of losing a friend and the misery he caused for the woman he loved. After two years of self-destruction, he pulls himself together and moves back to Swells, hoping for reconciliation and forgiveness from Everly. Except that Everly, like him, is stuck in a well of heartache and grief. He knows he can't force her to love him or even tolerate his presence, but he'd settle for seeing her smile again, no matter the cost. In a small town like Swells, they can't avoid each other forever and circumstances draw them together once more. As the one person who truly understands her heartbreak, Swift can be the only man who helps Everly learn to love again.

Can they overcome the mistakes of the past and find love again?

Love is...a New Release!
Love Is- the latest release by author SE Harmon.
If you love a story of friends to lovers with a dash of humor, you're going to love Love Is.
Blurb:
Sometimes what starts out as fake can get all too real.
Things started out innocently enough. Put on the spot by my sister about going on a blind date, I mention I’m already dating someone else. But then she wants to meet him. Better yet, she wants me to bring him to our upcoming family gathering so he can meet everyone. Which would be a fantastic idea if he wasn’t a complete work of fiction.
My best friend, Julian, suggests I bring a fake date, and it sounds like a good plan. What could go wrong? We’ll go home, spend the weekend with my family, and they’ll stop setting me up on blind dates. No one gets hurt and no one has to know. Easy peasy, right?
But then there’s Jackson. And it’s no coincidence that his last name is Sparks.
Maybe one day I’ll learn that listening to Julian is always a recipe for disaster. Someday I’ll remember that he talks faster than he thinks, and any idea out of his mouth is probably a bad one. Until then, let me explain how I got into this mess. My name is Avery Jane, and I’m about to show you what happens when a fake relationship gets all too real.
EXCERPT
Before I could change my mind, I called out for Julian. “Julie!”
After a moment, he cracked the screen door and stuck his head through. He had a pint of my whole fruit sorbet in one hand and a spoon handle sticking out of his mouth. “Don’t call me that. Whadd’ya want?”
I scowled. “Black cherry is my favorite. Isn’t that my last one?”
He scowled right back, pulling out the spoon and pointing it in my direction. “Didn’t you drink my last wine cooler?”
Oh. Memory refreshed. Indignation shelved. “I need a date,” I declared.
“Honey, you are not my type, fabulous hair notwithstanding.”
“Get over yourself, Sparks.” I flipped the aforementioned hair over my shoulder. I closed the browser window before I officially went insane. “Find me someone suitable.”
“What’s suitable?”
The word “suitable” really could mean just about anything. I rubbed the back of my neck, thinking. “I don’t know,” I finally said. “The usual suspects.”
“So…Kevin Spacey then?” Julian made a frustrated noise. “Come on, give me something to work with. Tall? Short? Blond? Brunette?”
“Just pick someone. Someone…nice.”
Nice. That sounded corny as hell, but that was where I was in my life. I didn’t care how he looked or what he did. I needed someone to play a role. Someone to take home and trot in front of my family to prove to everyone I was perfectly all right.
And if he could be hot enough to make Adam’s bottom lip drop like a scroll, well, I could probably live with that.

S.E. Harmon has had a lifelong love affair with writing. It’s been both wonderful and rocky (they've divorced several times), but they always manage to come back together. She's a native Floridian with a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters in Fine Arts, and now splits her days between voraciously reading romance novels and squirreling away someplace to write them. Her current beta reader is a nosy American Eskimo who begrudgingly accepts payment in the form of dog biscuits.

A Warning from someone who knows...
“We all like to believe we are masters of our fate. However, usually it isn’t true. Somewhere, a person exists, sometimes completely unknown to you, whose slightest action impacts your life.”
Blurb
Jason Connors, the head of the FBI, becomes involved in a simple immigration case in which a doctor from Africa has married an American woman so he can enter the United States. Some claim the doctor is not human, but rather a cat-like alien species that can mimic the human form. Determined to discover what is really going on, he sends his brightest agent, Carmella Ginkabo to Africa, to uncover the facts. Courageously, she travels deep into the jungle to learn the truth from the first of this species who originally landed on Earth two hundred years prior. Her discovery alters the future of Earth forever.
Catina’s muscles ached from straining against the vines that bound her wrists to the stakes. Sweat rolled down her sides, then dripped onto the thick green bed of the jungle floor. Hours had passed since the Marobi tribe had stripped her naked and tied her, kneeling on all fours, like a sheep waiting for slaughter.
A sharp pain on her thigh jolted her from her exhaustion. She tossed her head back, swinging her long sweaty strands of blonde hair against her side, much as a horse uses its tail to swat away flies. The scent of her sweat-drenched body seemed to attract every damn insect within five miles. Their constant biting and burrowing in her skin was far worse than what she initially thought the Marobis planned to do.
When they cut away her clothes and pushed her down on her hands and knees, she expected to be raped or sodomized. Yet, once they had her secured and defenseless, the men silently disappeared into the dense jungle. That had been hours ago. At least she felt it had been hours ago. Time had a way of distorting when insects burrowed in your flesh.
Her body went rigid as she felt the cool caress of a snake crossing her leg. Her weary mind ran through the countless deadly snakes that inhabited this jungle as she remained perfectly still. A hard blow and piercing pain struck her thigh. Bitten.
I’m going to die. Staked to the ground like a sheep to slaughter. I’m going to die.

Ms. O'Connor has the best imagination as she weaves tales which keep you on the edge of your seat or up at night reading. I've learned that her characters will dig their ways into my heart, even if they aren't always on the good side.
Cat Refuge is a story with many twists and turns. Just when you think the characters will finally find a happy ending, another crisis changes things. Luckily, Ms. O'Connor has a heart and does give the reader (and her wonderful characters) a happy ending...but it is the first in a series so there's bound to be more danger ahead!
A great read for fans of fantasy and shifters. You'll not be able to look at your cat in the same way!
