Workplace Romance #CoverReveal #New

3/29/2021

 
Picture
When I think about TV Rom-Coms, I always recall Moonlighting or Hart to Hart. A couple who work together and clash over the desk. KJ Holliday's latest preorder features a similar feel. Sexy sparring, steamy connections and a whole lot of romance. 

Blurb:
A fun, sexy love story that swaps the narrative of most modern-day office romances.

Caroline Westbrook, the second-generation CEO of her family’s Fortune 500 Company, wanted nothing more than to make Westbrook, LLC uber profitable. When her boyfriend dumps her because she works too much, she isn’t all that surprised. It wasn’t the first time, and it probably wouldn’t be the last.

Enter Colton Bowman, who waltzes into her office late on a Friday night like he owns the place. The disaster of both of their days begins with a drink, and ends with him tossing up her skirts over the side of her desk in the early hours of the morning.

Neither of them expected their night together would leave them wanting more, or that a chance encounter in the company break room a few weeks later would prompt Caroline to do something stupid. She’d just gotten out of a relationship, and didn’t have any desire to jump into another one, but that didn’t stop her from seeking Colton out and tumbling them into a series of sexual encounters that left them both sweaty and satisfied.

Figuring out what she really wants outside of work, while also navigating the intricacies of a potential relationship in modern day Corporate America, proves to be anything but business as usual.

About the Author:
I started writing when I was nine years old. I was in love, it was poetry, and it was absolutely awful. I’ve always loved the written word, and at the age of thirteen I started posting short stories on various free platforms. Short stories grew to multi chapter novellas, which eventually turned to novels. Since then I’ve written hundreds of thousands of words, self-published five short stories, one novel, and am now working with Inkspell Publishing to publish my work.

A Fairy Godmother to the Rescue! #NewRelease

3/22/2021

 
Picture
Growing up I was torn over wanting a fairy godmother to run to the rescue or having wild animals come help with housework. Both sound so good, right? But the animals come with their own issues (think mess). A fairy godmother is the perfect choice. She or He could help with so many things--like what to wear each day or help with dating. 

Seriously though, wouldn't it be helpful to have someone who could solve world problems? They could have helped with fighting Covid and poverty. Sarah Vance-Tompkins has an amazing tale of one Fairy Godmother who had no idea she was one. I PUT A SPELL ON YOU is a bewitching tale sure to have you laughing aloud and wishing for your own Godmother.

Blurb:
A novice fairy godmother falls in love with Prince Charming. What could possibly go wrong?

AVIANA WILLOWBROOK has no idea that her mother is a living legend until the day the tattered old copy of "The Fairy Godmother's Rulebook" arrives in the mail on her twenty-first birthday. Estranged from her mom, and living in Beverly Hills with her father, her stepmother and two super-achieving stepsisters, Aviana is unhappy and directionless.

Hotel heir and tech billionaire, NASH NOLAN doesn’t know Aviana exists until the day she transforms into a fairy godmother. The chick with the phobia about being pecked to death by a pack of winged creatures suddenly has a pair of unruly wings of her own to deal with. As if that isn’t enough, Aviana's first assignment is to spark a romance between her wicked stepsister and the tall and handsome tech billionaire who’s been her crush forever.
​
Will Aviana use her powers to help her wicked stepsister find happiness, or will she use her pixie dust to make sure Nash is destined to be hers?  

EXCERPT:
When I returned ‘THE FAIRY GODMOTHER’S RULEBOOK’ was open on my desk. No one was nearby, but the old velum pages were open to reveal a woodcut etching of a fairyland scene faced with a thin slice of tissue paper. In the etching a group of fairies floated above the ground in a circle around a regal-looking woman in a ball gown as they balanced a bejeweled tiara on her head. 

I slammed the book shut and a cloud of glittering dust rose from the pages. The dust cloud made me woozy and gave me the sneezes. When I recovered from the sneezing fit, my ears itched like I had poison ivy.

No surprise.

If the old book had anything to do with Mom, I was allergic to it and its contents. I stuffed the book back into my tote under my desk. Best to be forgotten. As soon as possible. I didn’t have time for fairies, or fairy tales. I didn’t believe in them when I was a little girl, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to start now.

Sing for your Supper? #CoverReveal #SpecialOffer

3/16/2021

 
Picture
Have you ever dreamed of singing on THE VOICE and having all four chairs turn around? Adam and Blake fighting over who wanted to work with you while you stood there with tears flowing down your face?

Bethany wanted nothing more than to pursue her dreams. But a singing/songwriter competition didn't work out that way for her. Until one of the judges went with his gut and decided to help her.

Grea Warner's latest book will be the emotional read to make you cheer for Bethany as she takes that chance. 

Blurb:
How did a sheltered girl from Carolina end up in a national scandal involving one of Hollywood’s most powerful music couples?

When want-a-be singer Bethany Opala tries out for a TV talent show, she is rejected. But then comes an amazing offer … a songwriter’s dream. Bethany has the opportunity to learn and develop her skills with top music manager, Ryan Thompson.

With a mutual passion for music and words, Bethany and Ryan’s writing partnership develops into something more … something love songs are written about. And while it isn’t wrong, it isn’t right, at least in the public eye.

Surrounded by secrecy and half-truths, Bethany doesn’t know how much she should put up with. Especially, when one more rejection could scar her for good. Will her decision to leave not only Ryan, but the music business and California, come down to the toss of a coin?

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 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.

Amazing New Release #A_CAPTIVAING_TOUCH

3/8/2021

 
Picture
One of the things I love about reading, is that I am able to travel throughout the world and interact with people I'd never have the guts to meet. Elsa Winckler's story A CAPTIVATING TOUCH takes place in South Africa between a business billionaire and a free spirit healer. 

Ms. Winckler's story showcases the amazing sights and sounds of South Africa as her characters find their way with a new relationship. Even her secondary characters are memorable and this book is one you won't want to put down. 

Now available in ebook for $2.99, you can get this book with hours of enjoyment for less than a coffee or McDonald's meal. You won't be disappointed. 

Blurb:
Discover beautiful South Africa in this sweet, heart-warming Cinderella story about a blogger, a billionaire, and one chance meeting.

When it comes to men, if physiotherapist Caitlin Sutherland didn't have bad luck, she’d have no luck at all. To help cope, Caitlin blogs about the men she meets and the bad dates she’d gone on.

While on duty during the annual Wines to Whales bicycle race, a gorgeous, sweaty cyclist walks in and sets her hormones dancing. But he is Don Cavallo; one of the four Cavallo brothers — hotel tycoons, famous as much for their business skills as for the number of beauties seen on their arms.

Billionaire Don Cavallo has his own issues with the other sex. He has yet to find one who is interested in him, not his money or hotels. But when this sexy physio puts her hands on his back, she not only touches his body, but also his heart.

They've both been burned before, but neither of them can stop themselves from playing with fire.

EXCERPT:
“Goodbye, Don,” Caitlin said and held out her hand. Nervously, she looked up at him. She’d hoped she and her mother would be in the airport building before Don arrived with Hannah. And now he was here, his big body right in front of her.

“Damn, Caitlin, you’re killing me,” he whispered and pulling her closer, he kissed her. There was just time to notice the storm in his eyes before his lips closed over hers. And then her ability to think, to rationalize, to consider, simply failed to work. His lips were warm and urgent, his tongue demanding access, which she was unable to deny him.

She forgot about her mother, the other people, where they were. Her senses went into overdrive and hitherto-unknown sensations and feelings ripped through her body. Then he lifted his head and stepped away.

“Have a nice flight,” he growled before he turned back to his car.

Stunned, she turned around. Her mother was watching her with twinkling eyes and Hannah was struggling with her one arm to get the trolley going. A porter appeared, taking the trolley from her.
​
Caitlin tried to get the message from her brain to her legs to move, but somehow they weren’t listening.

About the Author:
Elsa has been reading love stories for as long as she can remember and when she ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James The Brontë sisters, etc. during her Honours studies, she was hooked for life.

She married her college boyfriend and soul mate and after 45 years, 3 interesting and wonderful children and 4 beautiful grandchildren they are fortunate to live in the picturesque little seaside village of Betty's Bay, South Africa.

She likes the heroines in her stories to be beautiful, feisty, independent and headstrong.  And the heroes must be strong but possess a generous amount of sensitivity. They are of course, also gorgeous!  Her stories typically incorporate the family background of the characters to better understand where they come from and who they are when we meet them in the story.

Strong Female Heroines #Cover_reveal

3/4/2021

 
Picture
Do you like Strong Female characters? I really enjoy characters who say their mind and can handle themselves. MS Kaye's latest book, FIGHT PRINCESS features a kick-butt heroine, literally!

Blurb:
Things aren’t what they seem. Don’t get involved.

Celisse is too headstrong to listen. Her best friend’s boyfriend is dead, and she does not heed Cullen’s warning, slipped to her in a note as he’s being arrested for the murder.

Cullen tries to keep Celisse out of danger and also tries to avoid her, both unsuccessfully. He can’t deny his feelings for her anymore, but he knows he can’t have her. If she ever discovered the truth about his past, she’d surely hate him.
​
Struggling with her intense feelings for Cullen, Celisse uses her skills as an ex-prosecutor to investigate, all while continuing to fight for Ogden, the organizer of an underground fight ring. She eventually realizes things are connected: the ring, Ogden, Cullen, the murder—and herself. She races to uncover the truth before she’s arrested or becomes the next victim—or perhaps, the next culprit.
