One of the things I love about Mindy McKinley's books is the use of family, whether it's family you are born with or ones who come to you. Her books always feature a strong family tie. 

Her latest book- LIFTING OFF is the same. It's the second book in the Chase Family Series and features the only daughter of the Chase family. Clara has been spoiled during her life. She's the daughter in a family where sons were expected to make something of themselves, so she did what she wanted- became a socialite. Now she's decided that she wants something more. And she wants to be a part of the family business. But just as she is finding out who she is... a guy from the past comes back into her life. 

Now up for preorder- LIFTING OFF is a wonderfully sassy story of two people who deserve a happy ever after. Releasing on March 29th in ebook and print.... snag a copy for yourself!

Blurb:
A long-ago kiss neither can forget.
A risk neither can take.

Clara Chase is looking for something new. After a coveted career as a model and social media influencer, she is looking for something more. When her father hands the family’s charter jet company—SkyChase—over to her and her brothers, she can’t really see herself fitting in. That all changes when her brother Cam hands her the reigns of a new foundations. Filled with new purpose, Clara feels like her life is finally on track. Until her brother insists she share an office with the one man she never wanted to see again. The man who kissed her and disappeared for nine long years. The only man that had ever stolen her heart.
​
James Lagos wants to start over. Back in Chicago after catching his fiancé sleeping with his best pilot, he’s desperate for a reset. His best friend’s job offer to help set up SkyChase’s new helicopter division is just what he needs to distance himself from the mess he left in Texas. But he hadn’t counted on the one woman that could bring it all crashing down—Clara Chase—Cam’s little sister. He shouldn’t have kissed her all those years ago and he shouldn’t want her as bad as he does now, but he can’t seem to stop. All he can do is hope his life doesn’t fall apart all over again.

Have you ever been so mad at someone you wanted to get revenge? As a teen there were certainly my share of big enemies but then what teenage girl isn't all about the drama?? Now as a writer, I simply write the revenge, putting the person in the book and killing them or harming them there. 

I don't think I'm really strong enough for revenge in real life, but then someone hasn't harmed me as much as Jess, the main heroine in Revenge Seeker. The poor girl's life was turned upside down and she's really, really angry. Luckily, she's got the powers to exact that revenge. 

VK Tritschler's latest book, REVENGE SEEKER is a story of family, love and what one person will do to set things right. Now available in ebook and print, REVENGE SEEKER follows Jess through the multi-verse as she jumps worlds to find the grandfather who killed her father. 

Blurb:
Her Grandfather took her father’s life, and now Jess wants revenge.

Heir to a multi-verse kingdom Jess should be the most powerful woman in the world, able to keep her loved ones safe and bring peace to the realms. But with her newfound powers, came newfound dangers.

Jess is determined to protect the people she loves. To keep her sister, mother and boyfriend Peter safe, she sends them away, where her enemies can’t find them. When, Peter’s parents find out she’s the offspring of their mortal enemy, they are determined to keep them apart forever.

Going alone is perilous, and it’s hard to tell the difference between friend and foe. Determined to bring down her maniacal Grandfather, Jess is just beginning to realize the depth of her ties to those around her and the strength they bring to her.

Will she become the great protector or is she more like her Grandfather than she wants to admit? 

EXCERPT:
“What would you know about ruling? Your parents deliberately kept you from Court. The only thing you know about is how to run and how to fight, both things that will bring you nothing in the Court. And you have the audacity to sit there and point the finger at us?” The King’s face was pale, but his eyes were dark and narrowed. “You? A nobody with a tenuous claim to royalty is trying to tell me, the King of the Noir, how to rule my Realms?”
​
“From what you just told me, you aren’t ruling anything! You aren’t even babysitting! You can barely be bothered to pay attention to any of it!” Jess’s voice radiated off the walls, the tremble in it bounding off the backs of books.

“How dare you!” the Queen gave a sharp inhale, flicking a finger at her. “Get out! Get out of my house!”

“I will leave as soon as I have seen Pete.” Jess stood up, her legs wobbling as she did so. “And not a minute before.”

“Fine!” his father spat, pointing to the door, replicating his wife. “See what you have done to him. Maybe then you will feel remorse for what you have put this family through. They say we are the dark energy, but when I look at you, I see nothing but black. Your soul is the darkest thing I have ever seen. You will be the death of my son.” He turned his back on her, his shoulders heaving.

Her shoulders set, Jess stormed towards the door, tears stinging the corners of her eyes.

If you are a friend on FB, you may have noticed the large amount of alligator images. After our move to SC, I fell in love with the wildlife. So different than the deer and rabbits in Michigan, the alligators were quickly my favorite. 

When the pandemic started, the world shut down. I started walking. I took my phone with me and photographed the wildlife. The gators were so photogenic. They were chill and would let me sit there and talk with them. Over time, I noticed the same gators over and over. They became my favorite part of the walks. 

Now you can see some of the photos and information I learned from my journey. CONVERSATIONS WITH GATORS is a perfect read for kids or anyone who loves wildlife!

Blurb:
Lorelai is back home to take over her late father’s management of the royal stables. Heartbroken over the loss of her father and determined to become the first female Royal Huntswoman, the last thing she needs is to run into the subject of her schoolgirl fantasies—the current King of Aldonia. When Lorelai is forced to work with King Robert, she discovers two facts that may just reignite her old flame for him: he’s a terrific single father, and he’s not the spoiled, rich brat she remembers from her youth.

King Robert knows his past didn’t paint him in a good light—he was spoiled, stubborn, and a lothario who took no prisoners where love was concerned. But he’s changed—the horrific loss of his parents and a messy divorce made sure of that. So, when a mysterious new hire for his royal stables shows up with a grudge for injustices he can’t recall, he is determined to make things right with her. On the way to winning her over, though, he finds himself falling head over heels in love, despite making a solemn promise to himself to never go down that road again.
​
Will they find their way through their separate hurts to allow themselves a second chance at love? Or is too late?

 I love romance. My mom and grandmother loved romances and read voraciously. At about twelve years old, I found one of their books and started my own journey in reading. Over the ensuing years, I read almost any and all books I could get my hands on. 

What appealed to me? It was the strong heroines and sexy heroes. The belief that happy endings were possible, especially even against large odds. 

Mindy McKinley has a new series with book one coming out today! UP IN THE AIR is a family centered romance about one of the three siblings who take over their family's charter business. UP IN THE AIR features the younger playboy brother who finally sees the light and meets the one woman who challenges him and makes him a better person. 

Best of all... it's steamy with sexiness and snarky dialogue!! A perfect read!! I bet you'll be fanning yourself once you read the excerpt below!!

Blurb:
She has everything she wants but time.
He has everything he wants but her.

Hanging on by a thread, first-year resident, Maggie Watson doesn’t need anything added to her plate. With a lead doctor always on her case, suffocating family expectations, and a schedule that leaves little time for sleep—the last thing she needs is a distraction. Especially in the striking form of Cam Chase, who stirs feelings in her she has no time for. He’s maddening and vain, but he’s also sweet and tender and despite her best efforts, she finds him taking the lead role in her fantasies. One kiss threatens to upend the delicate balance her life requires.

Cam Chase’s infamously charmed life has everything he could ever want on the surface. Handsome and likeable, he’s had all the money, women, and fame one could want. But when his father steps down from the charter jet company he built and leaves it in the hands of his brother Carter, Cam realizes he wants more. Lost and unsure where to look, he finds his purpose where he least expects it—reading to young patients under the watchful eye of Maggie Watson. She makes him want to be a better man and once he knows what he wants, he’ll do anything to prove to her and his family that he is worthy of their trust.

EXCERPT:
Maggie shrieked as Cam slung her over his shoulder and carried her to his bedroom, her arms and hair dangling down his backside. Giggling, she smacked his tight ass and marveled at how exhilarating it felt to be carried off to bed by Cam Chase. She felt giddy as he set her down carefully on the edge of the bed, as if her heart might just beat out of her chest.

She wanted this man. Wanted him in every way that he would give her, wanted to feel him inside of her, over her, under her—she needed to touch him.

Cam stood back and gazed down at her for just a moment. “God, Maggie, you are so fucking gorgeous.” He hooked a finger under her chin and bent to kiss her again.

She melted into the kiss, opening to him, sliding her tongue against his. He tasted like sweet red wine and she let out a mewl of pleasure as he pushed her back gently on the bed and explored her with his hands. He began at her neck and traveled slowly south to her breasts. She gasped and reared off the bed when he ran his thumb over her hardening nipples.

“Maggie Watson.” He broke from her mouth. His voice was low and hungry, and she could feel his cock pressing hard and anxious against her side. “You’re not wearing a bra, are you?”
​
Heart thundering in her ears, she reached up and touched his chiseled jaw. The friction of the slight stubble made her pussy pulse with need. “I could tell you …” She licked her lips, hungry for his kiss again. “Or you can find out for yourself.”
