 During the pandemic, many of us were unable to see our loved ones. This was one of the hardest parts for me. I haven't seen my kids (yes, they are adults) in nine months. Now maybe there are times when I'm glad to have some time away from family. We all have those quirks, even the rich and famous or the people who work for them. In Celia Mulder's sequel to Celebrity Spin Doctor, THE ISSUE WITH ANTONS, we learn more about the relationship between Lucille and Simon. He's left her in charge of his company for a while but now has returned. Trust me, there's some fun interactions between them, much like when my family gets together. Snarky and still loving! Blurb: Celebrity Spin Doctor, Simon Anton is back and ready to manage the hell out of some celebrity reputations. He has one problem – no one will work with him. When his one remaining client disappears following a cryptic rendezvous in a nightclub, Simon needs to find him or risk losing the business he’s worked so hard to build. Tech company CEO JP Tanaka met a hot guy and lost him. When he does find Simon Anton again, he’s not letting the man get away. But Simon’s world is a very different place from his own and JP’s commitment to the budding relationship is tested at every turn. Retrieving the missing celebrity will take the combined forces of multiple Antons, a boyfriend who is about to be an ex, an undercover private investigator, and a large bag of sex toys. But the biggest threat to their happiness isn’t Simon’s past, it’s Simon himself. Simon undertakes the biggest spin of his career, convincing himself he’s not in love. EXCERPT: Lucille’s name under a photo of her giving him the finger flashed on the screen. Simon swiped to answer, gearing up to ask her how she’d put up with the pop stars for so long. But Lucille, it seemed, had her own reasons for calling. “What the hell, Simon?” “Well, hello to you too. What the hell what?” Simon looked at the tiny image of himself in the corner of the call. His hair was a mess and there was a small patch of stubble he hadn’t gotten shaved. What a disaster. And to think he’d gone out in public looking like this. He caught himself before he scowled. Scowling caused wrinkles and he didn’t do wrinkles. “They’re getting married? Is this for real or some sick joke of yours?” Lucille’s whole face filled the screen, her hair in a ponytail and her face clean and makeup-free like she was preparing for bed. Simon knew what she was talking about. The dread he felt when he was leaving Gio’s transformed into crushing defeat. Not that he was surprised news had traveled so fast or Lucille had heard already. It was the realization that this time, there may be no salvaging anything from the shitstorm-level disasters that were his clients. “It’s real.

Vampires, Dragons, Shifters, Fae. There's something exciting about falling for a person who isn't quite human. I love how each author takes the knowns (the different kinds) and makes them unique to their stories. Some authors have werewolves as strong and down to Earth, while others have them stumbling about like the Walking Dead. So while a type of supernatural can be bad in some worlds, they can be sexy heroes in another. Author, Ashley Pagano has taken the supernatural world and created her own unique twist. A hotel where supernatural creatures live and a hotel that they must protect. Vampires, Fairies and a whole slew of other creatures show up in her books! Some on the side of good and some are evil! Her first book in THE SOPPRANATURALE SERIES, THE GAUNTLET, introduced us to the hotel and some of those creatures, but her sequel, THE GUARD (Available now) brings in even more! Blurb: For Centuries, Fairies were extinct. And now . . . there are two at the Soppranaturale. For readers hungry for more, here is book two in the Best-Selling Soppranaturale Series. Ommily didn't expect to find "herself" at the Soppranaturale. She didn't expect to find magic, awe and beauty. And she certainly didn't expect to find her soulmate, and her match in every way. Now that Link and Ommily have conquered the deadly Gauntlet, confessed their love for one another and been initiated into the Guard, they must fight to protect the Soppranaturale hotel from impending doom. Using their incredible powers, and those of their fellow Guard members, they must take the ultimate stand against rouge supernaturals. In order to succeed, Ommily and Link must push their bond even further. Will the Soppranaturale hotel fall or will the Guard perish? The ultimate sacrifice may be required to do the unthinkable. EXCERPT: “Remove your shield, now!” she orders firmly. I obediently drop my shield, causing the Red Caps to rain down upon us. But their descent is not fast enough. On her command, the flame leaps up, expands into a blazing inferno, and rolls outward like the mushroom cloud of an atomic bomb. She throws her hands upward and the rampaging flame obeys. Within seconds, the fire fills up the entire arena, lighting it up and feverishly devouring everything in its path like a famished beast. Even from several feet below, the heat is so oppressive I have to shield my face. Markus drops and does the same, curving into something fetal. Seraphine welcomes the flames as they approach her, mid-flight. Being that she’s completely fireproof, forged in the fires of Hell, she has not a thing to worry about. The fire erupts toward the ceiling, scorching every Red Cap in its way. It chews through their bodies, starting at their talons and sizzling up through their straw-like hair. The smell of burning flesh is followed by ashy remains floating to the ground like great dirty snowflakes. Gray smoke billows into the air, filling the hatches and seeping into the walls. Fire engulfs the nets, showering the arena with golden sparks that leap across the floor. It crawls across the ceiling tiles like dripping globes of red, orange, and yellow paint upon a porous canvas. It consumes the ceiling tiles until they deteriorate, break apart, and crash around us. It’s blinding, crackling, and terrifying. Finally, Ommily exhales and releases her influence on the flames. She gently waves her hands across the field and every lick of fire is extinguished and every puff of smoke disintegrates. All that is left is the overwhelming smell of bonfire, and dancing embers.
