<span style="color: blue;">Weston Gallagher is falling hard-for the wrong woman.
One night of passion has haunted him for years.
Now he’s got a second chance to get the girl of his dreams…but there’s just one problem:
She hates him.
Eight years after he stormed out of Wildwood, California, West has returned to his hometown as a firefighter. His friends and family are thrilled he’s back-with the exception of Harper Hill. His best friend’s sister is all grown up and in all the right ways. He knows she’s going to do everything she can to protect her heart and keep him at arm’s length, but West has other ideas.
He will win the girl that got away. No matter what it takes… </span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><b>What he wants, he takes with no remorse or guilt.</b><br /> <b> </b><br />
She stood out in his club like a gem, unspoiled and untouched. A lamb
among wolves, she clearly didn’t belong. Drawn to her innocence he
watched as she was surrounded by men who saw what he did—but no one but
him could touch her. He summoned her to his private quarters. He sensed
her fear. He also recognized the desire in her eyes. And he knew she
wouldn’t leave before he possessed her. She had no need to know his
secrets. Not until he had her under his complete and utter control.<br /> <b> </b><br /> <b>What he wants, she isn’t sure she can give him.</b><br /> <b> </b><br />
The moment he told her want he wanted, she couldn’t resist. Instinct
told her to run, but her heart said stay and walk the fine line between
pleasure and pain. Though she wasn’t sure she could ever completely
surrender, the primal part of her wanted to try, even knowing this man
could break her in ways she never imagined. Because once he possessed
her, he owned her and it would be too late to turn back. She can only
pray that he doesn’t destroy her in the end.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">Let me start out by saying that I love Maya Banks. I really enjoyed the Slow Burn Novels and I love getting to read her new works. That being said I was kind of disappointed in this story. Evangeline was a hard character for me to connect with. She was a bit to insecure and critical of herself. I understand body issues or not liking yourself but she was a little more than that. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">Drake. I love stories with dominating men and submissive women. The D/s lifestyle is one that I think gets twisted and abused in stories at times. So, hear are a couple of my issues with the book. Keep in mind, opinions are like assholes and everyone has them. What doesn't work for me might be the book that rocks your world. To each his own.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">First, no innocent is going to allow a stranger to call her into his office and go to work on her like Drake did. Nope. Not happening, especially one like Evangeline. Second, hello secrets. Drake just demands that she moves in and submits to him and she literally asks no questions? Me on the other hand? I need a background check, credit check, three personal references, DNA sample, lie detector test and a certified affidavit from his parents. Third, the way she allows him to treat her is just sad. She was too innocent to allow Drake to have a stranger come in and have sex with her. That is the type of thing that is discussed between two consenting adults beforehand not during. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">Yes, I KNOW that it is all fiction but I was just disappointed in Evangeline's character. I don't mind a submissive MC but I want a submissive who realizes that she has the power in the relationship. I also know that a true D/s relationship is based on trust and that takes time to build. These two never got to that point. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">As this is a CLIFFHANGER, I will be anxiously awaiting Dominated to see if Drake has become more than the thug he seems and Evangeline can become more powerful than she appears. </span><br />

I’m struck with a pang of longing that takes my breath away when I inhale and find the scent of his cologne still present on the sweatshirt. I have no idea what I’ll do without him; he has been my best friend since elementary school. I see him every day and talk to him every night before I go to sleep. How in the world can I leave him behind? I feel my pulse starting to race and I take a deep breath, telling myself, </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You will leave him behind so he can stay safe</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. I burrow deeper into Carter’s sweatshirt, breathe in his scent and watch as the sleeves fall down over my hands. If I close my eyes I can almost feel his arms around me. This way, I can at least have the illusion of him here with me. It’s not the same and I know it, but I’ll just have to make do.</span></span></div>

There are a thousand memories of Carter’s and my friendship in this car; road trips, drive-in movies and a plethora of shared experiences. I choke back the sob that longs to break free of my throat and make myself breathe. I know I have to get out of the car and make my way to the train station, but I’ve never wanted to do anything less. I feel shielded in here, like even if Liam is right behind me, he can’t get to me. I know that’s foolish, but this car has been my sanctuary for the past twelve hours and I’m not ready to let go of my security blanket just yet.</span></span></span></div>

struggling waitress turns him down flat! Raised in foster care, Abby
won’t accept charity. Yet when her dilapidated porch almost injures her
daughter, Abby finally agrees to Brady’s offer. As the hardworking
bachelor pushes to finish the house in time for Christmas, he starts
falling for Abby and her little girl. With the holidays in sight, Brady
wonders if Abby will not only accept her beautiful new home, but also
his wish to make her his wife…</span></div>

Goodnight’s Five Easy, Creative Ways to Give Money </span></b></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Money and gift
cards are popular gift choices for teens or older kids and, no doubt about it,
they love them. Plus, they’re easy to give. But simply handing over cash or a
card doesn’t feel “special” enough to me. So, every year I look for clever ways
to give money or gift cards to the older kids on my list. Here are five I’ve
used with good success:</span></div>

One year while out shopping, I found an inexpensive snow globe with a photo insert
slot. Instead of the photo, I inserted a folded twenty-dollar bill. Globes are
also available in various prices, sizes and shapes online such as these:</span></div>

any size or price range. Depending on the child’s special interests, you might
even choose a frame in his favorite color, decorated with sports emblems such
as my red-and-white Oklahoma Sooners football frame, dance shoes, animals,
special messages or whatever. Remove the back from the frame and insert the money
or gift card, followed by a picture, a piece of shiny gift wrap or the printed background
of your choice. You crafty folks will make origami or something creative with
the bills. I just get them in there! Replace the back. Wrap or bag. </span></div>

Money. This one works best for an older child with a sense of humor. My thirteen-year-old
granddaughter loved it. Tape dollar bills end to end with a dab of tape. (You
want to be able to remove the tape without tearing the money.) Roll the taped
bills into a tube shape and insert into an empty Kleenex box leaving the edge
of one bill poking out. Wrap or gift bag the box. The child will have fun
pulling out the endless roll of “tissue” money.</span></div>

holster, suitable to the recipient’s age and in whatever price range you want. This
works especially well for those hard-to-buy-for teenage boys. Insert the gift
card or money into the wallet and gift wrap. </span></div>

Ornament Cash. Purchase a large, hollow transparent or clear globe ornament.
Remove the top and fill the inside with bills of any denomination. Optionally,
stuff in colored garland or tinsel along with a single bill. Write the person’s
name on the ornament, and leave blank or decorate however you wish. Replace the
top, add a hook hanger, wrap in tissue paper, box and gift wrap. </span></div>

DeJong grew up in Kent, Washington. Determined to get out of the rainy weather, she moved to Los Angeles for college, attending Loyola Marymount University, graduating with a B.A. in Screenwriting.

<b>The Kelly Group International (KGI)</b>: A super-elite, top secret, family-run business.<br /><b>Qualifications</b>: High intelligence, rock-hard body, military background.<br /><b>Mission: </b>Hostage/kidnap victim recovery. Intelligence gathering. Handling jobs the U.S. government can’t...<br /><br />The
enigmatic Hancock has been both opponent and ally to the KGI teams for
as long as they've known him. Always working a deep game, Hancock's true
allegiance has never been apparent, but one thing is for certain—he
never lets anything get in the way of duty.<br /><br />But now, his absolute
belief in the primacy of his ultimate goal is challenged by a captive
he's been ordered to guard, no matter how much she suffers in her
prison. She's the only woman who's ever managed to penetrate the rigid
walls surrounding his icy heart, but will he allow his perplexing
feelings for the beautiful victim to destroy a mission he's spent years
working to complete or will he be forced to sacrifice her for “the
greater good.”</div>

I absolutely love Maya Banks. That being said, I was expecting more from this book. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I clicked with Honor. I understand the need to help those who can't help themselves and her selflessness is inspiring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hancock. I wanted to like him. I really did but he just pissed me off and I couldn't get passed the fact that he is a douche.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
**SPOILER ALERT**</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How the hell do you think it is okay to "rescue" someone and then turn them over to monsters? The greater good? That's ridiculous. Hancock goes into the Middle East to rescue Honor after she was the sole survivor of a terrorist attack. The whole point of rescuing her was so she could be used as bait to try and bring down a bad guy cartel. It just made him seem like an asshole because he seriously thought that sacrificing her for their mission was okay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Honor was just as bad. She was angry for a moment and then she accepted that this was the way it was going to be. I have a problem with that. She was stronger than that and her story should've reflected it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will continue to read Maya but I have to say that I wish this story would have been more. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DISCLAIMER: This book is part of a series. Spoilers might be contained in the description. For new readers, start your journey with Devlin and Coralie in MASTERS FOR HIRE, now available everywhere! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They were two completely different people from two completely different worlds. Within two weeks they were married, for better or worse. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Their whirlwind romance did nothing to prepare Coralie Masters for what awaited the happy couple back home. Reality crushes the fairytale existence Devlin had created for her in Las Vegas. Ultimately his powerful seductive hold over her cannot protect her from new, powerful forces outside of their marriage that work nonstop to tear them asunder. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is much more to fear than her family learning the truth of how and why they met, because there’s much more to Dev’s story that she could ever know. The mystery surrounding Devlin Masters quickly undermines their love story. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing becomes crystal clear. They may be married, but she doesn’t really know this sexy, alluring stranger at all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They love each other. They want each other. They can’t stay away from each other. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But will it be enough? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Groupie Saga titillated you. The Fullerton Family Saga broke your heart. We were only getting started. Book Two of the Masters Saga, MASTERS FOR LIFE, turns up all the Ginger Voight angst, drama and sex like never before. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">**Author not responsible for broken Kindles.** </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Intended for readers 18+ for graphic sexual content.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Start the Masters Saga with...</span><br />

Ginger Voight is a screenwriter and bestselling author with over twenty published titles in fiction and nonfiction. She covers everything from travel to politics in nonfiction, as well as romance, paranormal, and dark, “ripped from the headlines” topics like Dirty Little Secrets.
<br />
<br />
Ginger discovered her love for writing in sixth grade, courtesy of a Halloween assignment. From then on, writing became a place of solace, reflection, and security. This was never more true than when she found herself homeless in L.A. at the age of nineteen. There, she wrote her first novel, Chasing Thunder, longhand on notebook paper, while living out of her car. Fittingly, this book will be the first released through a traditional publisher in 2015.<br />
<br />
In 1995, after she lost her nine-day-old son, she worked through her grief by writing the story that would eventually become The Fullerton Family Saga.<br />
<br />
In 2011, she embarked on a new journey—to publish romance novels starring heroines who look more like the average American woman. These "Rubenesque" romances have developed a following thanks to her bestselling Groupie series. Other titles, such as the highly-rated New Adult series, Fierce, tap into the "reality-TV" preoccupation in American entertainment, which gives her contemporary stories a current, pop culture edge.<br />
<br />
Known for writing gut-twisting angst, Ginger isn’t afraid to push the envelope with characters who are perfectly imperfect. Whether rich, poor, sweet, selfish, gay, straight, plus-size or svelte, her characters are beautifully flawed and three-dimensional. They populate her lavish fictional landscapes and teach us more about the real world in which we live simply through their interactions with each other. Ginger’s goal with every book is to give the reader a little bit more than they were expecting, told through stories they'll never forget.

<b><i>A standalone taboo romance. No cliffhanger. 18+</i></b><br />
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<br />
<div>
On the way to our parents wedding in the mountains, the mother of all snow storms attacks, leaving me stranded in a remote cabin with my new stepbrother.<br />
<div>
<br />
My hot as hell, I-need-to-change-my-panties because-they’re-soaked, cocky asshole of a stepbrother, Bentley McAllister. <br />
<br />
The kicker of it all? <br />
<br />
The only items he's packed are liquor and condoms, and he’s looking at me like he wants to put both to good use. <br />
<br />
My name is Sierra, and my libido can only take so much. <br />
<br />

Madeline Archer, I write the other flavors of adult fiction, including the
sweet romance featured here. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Heart of

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I was standing beside an ancient tree on the Harvard campus,
absorbed in the magic of being transported 111 years back in time, when a lovely
old woman came up to me. She had snow-white hair and expressive eyes, her
appearance indefinably reminiscent of an Irish actor </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">I’d seen</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">. I recognized her instantly as Finola Maguire. I
said hello.<br />
<br />
She was all smiles and spoke with a faint Irish lilt when she said, “Ah, Rose,
I’ve been waitin’ for ye to come to call. Come inside an’ I’ll put the kettle
on for tea.”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">She placed her hands on the ancient tree and I heard her indistinct
whisper. Suddenly, a small glittering cottage appeared right before my eyes. I
followed her inside and she asked me to sit. The house was cozy, no more than
two or three rooms, as far as I could tell. She took off her coat and hung it
on a hook by the door, then went to tend her teakettle. To my surprise, a brass
button shot out of an old boot near the hearth to clatter across the floor.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Seeing it, Mrs. Maguire peered into the boot, and said, “Martin,
stop sortin’ yer treasures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Look who’s
come for a visit. It’s Rose herself!”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A second later, a packrat emerged. I greeted him and he
chittered happily. I caught Mrs. Maguire’s eye hoping she’d translate. After
all, she was a witch and he was her familiar spirit.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">She said, “Martin says he’s so glad you’ve come and wonders
if ye’d care to look at his collection. He’s very proud of it, ye know. Go on an’
take a look, dear. it’s sure to make ye smile. I’ll only be a minute with our
tea.”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I said I’d be delighted and turned my attention to the
packrat. The little sprite dipped in and out of his boot with a great many
buttons, keys, and other things that he’d found lost on the ground. I told him,
how impressed I was and could tell it pleased him by the happy ridges that
appeared just above his eyes. He was about to show me the collection in the other
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">full </i>boot in the corner across the
room, when we were called to tea.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Mrs. Maguire filled my cup first and then saw to her own.
For Martin, she poured a splash of milk in a saucer, then buttered a corner of
a biscuit for him. His tail pointed to the jam jar and she spread blackberry
jam over his butter then handed it over. He took the piece in his deft little
paws and launched right into it.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Apparently his not waiting for us was a lapse in manners in
her opinion, for she tsked. Motioning to the plate of scrumptious-looking
biscuits, she told me, “Oh do help yerself, dear. We don’t stand on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ceremony</i>, do we Martin?”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">He looked at me and shook his head. His whiskers were purple
with jam and crumbs stuck to his nose. I found him adorable.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I helped myself to the biscuits. They were delicious and tasted
exactly like biscuits my grandmother used to make. But of course they would. We
writers often use what we know when we write our scenes. I judiciously asked
about her grandson. I pretty much knew the outcome of this story, but they
didn’t just yet.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh Rose,” she said, “for more than two hundred years I’ve searched
high an’ low for others to help me with me daughter Abigayle’s charm. There are
no other witch folk.”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">She went on to say she recently spent two weeks</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> traveling to Salem
for the rents, then on to Boston for the banking, and then back home again.
While she was in Boston, she placed inscrutable ads in the local newspapers, things
only other witch folk would understand. Not a soul had yet replied. She dabbed
her glistening eyes with her napkin, and said, “I’ve come to suspect the others of my kind were either all murdered during
the witch hunts, or they abandoned the Auld ways to save themselves.”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Martin chittered and I suspected he wanted her to explain
the Auld ways to me. This proved to be the case when she asked him the best way
to distill this vast concept to a non-witch like myself. Whiskers dripping with
milk, he chittered on and on. She listened and occasionally nodded. Finally, to
me she said, “Ye know Martin is an ancient creature, Rose, far older than we. What
he knows comes from long ago when people lived closer to nature. Back then, there
were some with an affinity for the energies of all life. These were <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">my</i> people, Rose. The energies are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">auld</i>, as old as time itself—a life force
if ye will, an’ it exists in every livin’ thing. Folks with this affinity
understand that life comes in two halves of the whole.”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Martin, now grooming himself after his meal, stopped and
chittered once more.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh that’s a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">good </i>explanation,
Martin.” To me, she said, “Ye don’t see a stag without seein’ a doe, nor a hen
without a rooster. An’ ye don’t see a woman without seein’ a man. It’s the same
for everythin’, Rose. Even the flowers an’ trees have both sides within them.
My kind understands the glorious Mind who made it all, an’ we know the Mind walks
among creation as both the god an’ goddess. An’ because we understand this, we
are allowed to call upon the energies of nature for magic.” </span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I couldn’t help but ask why the witches of Salem couldn’t
call upon these energies to help put an end to the persecutions.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh bless ye, dear. If only we could have done so. There
were so few of us to stand against the fear and intolerance, ye see. Long ago,
when everyone followed the Auld ways, it would have been a small matter to turn
an ill wish into good. It takes the belief of many to turn dark thoughts to
light ones. But somethin’ happened nearly two thousand years ago, when a few
people learned they could wield power by incitin’ fear in others. The fearful
ones turned away from the Auld ways an’ in time they simply forgot.” </span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I couldn’t help but compare the intolerance of the past to
events current in my own time. It was an ugly thing no matter when. I told them
as much.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Martin chimed in. She nodded and relayed his words, “He says
ye always must believe the world can be better, for that’s exactly how it
becomes so. Ye must believe, dear. Believe and hope.”<br />
<br />
I understood what they meant. Positive thinking often made the seemingly
impossible possible. My thoughts turning to the nearly impossible situation her
grandson was in, I asked about Neila.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">“Oh, she’s a dear, sweet-natured lass. An’ so <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">terribly</i> shy. The poor dear gets all tongue-tied
when it comes to talkin’ with people so she keeps to herself. I have her makin’
her sketches across the way in that empty building. She’s practicin’ her conversation
while she works.”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">How sly of her. I told her so.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Her cheeks pinkened. She smiled back at me and said, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hope</i> is a good thing, dear.”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: blue;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Martin chittered. There was no need to translate. I

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 25.68px;">Writing claims my heart, and one of the best decisions I ever made was when I decided to write full time. I’m pretty ordinary really. But I had the chance to travel a lot when my husband did, and fell in love with England. Since I grew up on tales of King Arthur, when my kids were older and I retired from real estate, I turned to a much-desired career of author. I’m now on my 34<sup>th</sup> book, and loving every minute I can spend at the computer. But let’s not get on the subject of computers! I just switched from a PC to a Mac and the Mac is much smarter than me!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 25.68px;">Known for crafting characters that stay with you long after the last page has turned, Rose Anderson </span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">is a multi-published award-winning author and dilettante who loves great conversation and delights in interesting things to weave into stories. Rose also writes across genres under the pen name Madeline Archer. No matter which pen name she uses, Rose chooses descriptive words as carefully as an artist might choose a color.<br /><br />As a self-described “persnickety leisure reader”, Rose especially enjoys novels that feel like they were written just for her. “It's hard to explain, but if you have ever read a book that felt like you alone knew what the author was getting at, then you’ll know what I mean. I tend to sneak symbolism and metaphor into my writing. You might say it's a game I play with myself when I write. I just<i> love</i> when readers email to say they've found something.” These hidden insights are her gift to her readers. Rose hopes readers will feel her stories were written just for them, for that’s the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Larochelle is a survivor. Orphaned at twelve and victim to a
devastating crime, she has learned to keep her back to walls and to
trust no one. But when she finds a gravely injured soldier washed up on
the River Seine, she's moved by compassion. In spite of her

their new love is threatened by ancient ghosts. Can Gabriel and Ariah
find hope in the wreckage of their pasts—or will the cycle of history

of Anaheim, California with Teddy, my goofy lowland sheepdog, and high
school sweetheart of eleven years. I enjoy writing dark, poignant
romances that challenge the reader’s emotions and explore the redeeming
power of love.<br /><br />Imagining dynamic worlds and characters has been
my passion for longer than I can remember. Before learning how to read
or write, I would dictate stories while my mom would jot them down for
me. I hold a special affinity for the tortured hero and unconventional
romances. Whether crafting the protagonist or antagonist, I ensure every
character is given a soul.<br /><br />I endeavor to defy conventions by
blending elements of romance, suspense, and horror. Some themes my
stories never stray too far from: forbidden romance, soul mates, the
power of love to redeem, mend all wounds, and triumph over darkness.<br /><br />My dream is to move readers and leave an emotional impact through my words. ♥<br /><br />Don't be a stranger! I absolutely love to connect and interact: </span> </span></span></div>

<strong>Tattooed Emotions Synopsis:</strong>
Raelyn Jennings has survived the unthinkable. She’s been given a second chance to live, to breathe, to feel. Her ability to overcome such a traumatic hurdle has created armor around her heart. But beyond her shield is fear, a consuming deep one, of the unknown. Raelyn vows to herself that she’ll solely focus on the one constant in her life, her career as the CEO for a prestigious accounting firm.
Damien Heathman’s unrelenting determination has made him a powerful, respected man. He’s sexy and confident and utterly breathtaking. His dominance and strength is evident in every purposeful stride, every meaningful look, and every soft caress.
Raelyn has worked with Damien’s company, Heathman Enterprises, for many years, but they’ve never crossed paths—until now.
Damien’s presence fills a room. He steals Raelyn’s breath and sparks her broken heart back to life. Once Damien sets eyes on Raelyn, there is no turning back. He wants her, and he’ll stop at nothing to have her. Not even the dark secrets hidden behind his tattoos will stand in his way.
The chemistry is undeniable. The passion is palpable.
Can Damien convince Raelyn that he is worth the risk? Or will Raelyn allow her past to control her future, feeling the chance of another heartache is too great to bear?

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt:</strong>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">Damien lightly laid me on the bed, removed my towel, and tucked me beneath the sheets. “Do you need anything? Water, saltines, anything?” Concern filled his features once again.</span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">“No.” I smiled. “I’m fine. Just tired.”</span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">He nodded his acknowledgment, and then he walked to the bathroom door while pulling his soaking wet shirt from his back. He tossed it on the chair, every muscle flexing with his movements. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">I might have been tired, but that didn’t stop me from being stunned into silence as my body flamed to life at the sight of his bare torso. My greedy eyes traveled from one end of his shoulder to the other, drinking in the beauty of his ink. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">Without glancing at me, he sauntered over to his dresser to pull out a dark-colored shirt. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">“Don’t,” I whispered, feeling my heart stop beating in my chest. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">It destroyed me a little every time he concealed this part of himself from me. I knew something awful had happened to Damien and that he didn’t want to talk about it, but him hiding it from me hurt beyond any other physical pain I’d ever experienced. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">His arms paused midair, and he gazed over his shoulder. From his side profile, I saw the instant his body tensed, and his jaw clenched.</span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">“Please…” I swallowed thickly and dug for courage. “You want me to stay. And I want to lie with you…with nothing between us.” I realized I was being unfair, but I was that desperate. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">A visible tremor shook through him. It felt as though an eternity had passed before he spoke, “Don’t touch them.” </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">My heart swelled within its confined space. He was going to trust me. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">“I won’t,” I breathed in relief. “I promise.”</span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">“Don’t ever break a promise to me, Raelyn.” He slowly lowered his arms and pivoted to face me. “So, don’t make one if you can’t keep it.”</span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">“I keep my promises,” I vowed with the utmost sincerity. </span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Cambria;">“As do I. Always.” His voice was reverent.</span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">On the cusp of her first
London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shy, pretty and talented with a
drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a
dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of
shy, awkward young ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.<br />
<br />
A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her,
but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary
Captain MacKenzie letter after letter … and by pretending to be devastated when
he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of
London society entirely.<br />
<br />
Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up
in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her
doorstep—handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He’s wounded, jaded,
in possession of her letters… and ready to make good on every promise Maddie
never expected to keep.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-style: italic;">September 21, 1808
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-style: italic;">Dear Captain Logan MacKenzie,
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-style: italic;">There is but one consolation in writing this absurd
letter. And that is that you, my dear delusion, do not
exist to read it.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-style: italic;">But I run ahead of myself. Introductions first.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-style: italic;">I am Madeline Eloise Gracechurch. The great-
est ninny to ever draw breath in England. This will
come as a shock, I fear, but you fell deeply in love
with me when we did not cross paths in Brighton.
And now we are engaged.
</span><br />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<span style="font-family: 'MahoganyScript'; font-size: 16.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Maddie could not remember the first time she’d
held a drawing pencil. She only knew she could not
recall a time she’d been without one.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">In fact, she usually carried two or three. She kept
them tucked in her apron pockets and speared in
her upswept dark hair, and sometimes—when she
needed all her limbs for climbing a tree or vaulting
a fence rail—clenched in her teeth.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">And she wore them down to nubs. She sketched
songbirds when she was supposed to be minding
her lessons, and she sketched church mice when
she was meant to be at prayer. When she had time
to ramble out of doors, anything in Nature was fair
game—from the shoots of clover between her toes
to any cloud that meandered overhead.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">She loved to draw </span><span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-style: italic;">anything</span><span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">.<br />
Well, almost anything.<br />
She hated drawing attention to herself.<br />
And thus, at sixteen years old, she found herself
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">staring down her first London season with approxi-
mately as much joy as one might anticipate a dose
of purgative.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">After many years as a widower, Papa had taken a
new wife. One a mere eight years older than Maddie
herself. Anne was cheerful, elegant, lively. Every-
thing her new stepdaughter was not.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Oh, to be Cinderella in all her soot-smeared,
rag-clad misery. Maddie would have been thrilled
</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">to have a wicked stepmother lock her in the tower
while everyone else went to the ball. Instead, she
was stuck with a very different sort of stepmother—
one eager to dress her in silks, send her to dances,
and thrust her into the arms of an unsuspecting
prince.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Figuratively, of course.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">At best, Maddie was expected to fetch a third son
with aspirations to the Church, or perhaps an insol-
vent baronet.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">At worst . . .
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Maddie didn’t do well in crowds. More to the
point, she didn’t do </span><span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-style: italic;">anything </span><span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">in crowds. In any large
gathering—be it a market, a theater, a ballroom—
she had a tendency to freeze, almost literally. An
arctic sense of terror took hold of her, and the crush
of bodies rendered her solid and stupid as a block
of ice.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">The mere thought of a London season made her
shudder.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">And yet, she had no choice.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">While Papa and Anne (she could not bring her-
self to address a twenty-four-year-old as Mama) en-
joyed their honeymoon, Maddie was sent to a ladies’
rooming house in Brighton. The sea air and society
were meant to coax her out of her shell before her
season commenced.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Palatino'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">It didn’t quite work that way.

<span style="font-size: large;">Blurb:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Emma Chase, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of the Tangled series, returns with a brand new funny, romantic, sexy story!<br /><br /><i>A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight.</i><br /> <br />When
you’re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard
life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be
harder. I, Jake Becker, have a reputation for being cold, callous, and
intimidating—and that suits me just fine. In fact, it’s necessary when
I’m breaking down a witness on the stand.<br /> <br />Complications don’t
work for me—I’m a “need-to-know” type of man. If you’re my client, tell
me the basic facts. If you’re my date, stick to what will turn you on.
I’m not a therapist or Prince Charming—and I don’t pretend to be.<br /> <br />Then
Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and
complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I’m going to Mommy
and Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room, and arguing
cases in the principal’s office.<br /> <br />Chelsea’s too sweet, too
innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but
she’s not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids.<br /> <br />And that—that, I know how to do.<br />
<br />

I absolutely loved this book! I don't normally enjoy books written from a man's perspective but I loved Jake. <br />
<br />
Jake loves his life. He has a clear cut path and doesn't expect any kind of deviation from it. He keeps it simple and matter of fact. He deals with clients that expect a man to get the job done and besides the obvious morons that keep repeating the same stupid mistakes, he does it well. So you can imagine his surprise when he runs into a boy that is so much like him at that age it is unreal.<br />
<br />
Chelsea McQuaid is a young woman that has her hands for. At twenty-six she has taken guardianship of her six, count them six, nieces and nephews. The kids all range from six months to fourteen years and while they are good kids, they still have some mischief up their sleeves. This poor woman just longs for a little adult conversation but Jake has other ideas. She makes it clear that she is a package deal and while Jake thinks he can handle it, he has no idea what to expect.<br />
<br />
Picture it: One hot, sexy lawyer + one innocent aunt + six devils in disguise = a book that I can not say enough good things about. <br />
<br />
If you like books that make your heart flutter, your smile grow brighter and the laughter coming, then this is the book for you. <br />
<br />
PS: It would be wonderful if we could all take a page out of the Judge's book and change the life of a child.<br />

Chloe Dawson learned early that life wasn't easy. If it were, her parents never would have split up, leaving her to deal with the fallout at eight years old. If it were, her mother's vice wouldn't have driven a wedge between them. Though she comes to face trials most people only confront in their nightmares, she realizes she can't wake up from her life. Instead, she looks her problems in the eye, afraid yet standing her ground.
But even the strongest need rescuing …
Just when she feels her head dipping below the surface, Caleb Holt appears in her life. Unlike Chloe, he's run far from his past, into the arms of an uncertain future. At the request of a dying man, he decides to stop running and fulfill a promise—one which forbids him from interacting with Chloe and forces him to remain her secret benefactor.
Keeping out of sight, he watches with his eyes, but soon discovers that his heart has been just as vigilant. Aggressive is his middle name, but his bond keeps him silent at a distance. When she needs help, he reaches out of hiding to touch her life, only to step back before she can see him.
However opportunity presents itself, and he finds he can't resist answering its call. What will happen when the barrier between them drops and he's finally allowed to touch where once he could only look?
What will happen when Chloe accepts an offer that no one in her desperate position would refuse, even when it pushes her boundaries?
What will happen when she comes undone?

<span style="color: maroon;">Six Questions with the Author</span></h2>
<strong>What are you currently working on?</strong>
I just finished writing the first book in the series <em>Dystopian Reign. </em>The first book is titled, <em>The Victorian Shift</em>. I started the second book late this afternoon and it's titled <em>The Western Movement</em>. It's an interesting blend of historical mixed with dystopian (and of course romance) that follows a twenty-five year old young woman that escapes prison when the facility is under attack.
<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Tell us a little about your release, <em>Hot-Blooded Lust.</em></strong>
<em>Hot-Blooded Lust</em> is the third installment in the <em>Federal Agent Chronicles</em>. Just like the first book in the series, <em>Hot-Blooded Lust</em> follows the life of Agent Kaitlyn Rivers as they investigate the murder of a fortune-teller, who happens to also be someone Joel knows.
<br />
<br />
<strong>Any more <em>Federal Agent Chronicle</em> stories in the works?</strong>
Yes, <em>Fire Licked</em> is scheduled for release in November from Blushing Books. That novel is about a sexy fireman and follows FBI Agent Leslie Hunter.
<br />
<br />
<strong>How do you write so fast?</strong>
Good question! I'm very prolific and also task-focused. This is my full-time job, so I treat it as such, spending at least eight hours a day in front of the computer writing (or at least attempting to). I concentrate heavily on meeting a word count daily when I write.
<br />
<br />
<strong>You always have fun swag. What's your favorite piece that you've made?</strong>
I love making mini book charms as necklaces and also book boxes that feature my book cover. The book boxes are great for storing goodies when I have a book event. The necklaces (and also bracelets) tend to be a huge hit at events. Everyone always loves them and they're all handmade. I'm always sharing pictures of the goodies on Facebook.
<br />
<br />
<strong>Do you plan on writing any more YA books under your other name, Ruth Silver?</strong>
Yes. I recently finished the prequel to <em>Aberrant</em>. It is titled, <em>Cabal</em>. I'm waiting to find out the release date for that young adult novella. I also am (still) working on the sequel to <em>Elfinland (Orenda Book 2)</em>. It's half-written at 21k words. I just need to sit down and finish that novel as well. <br />

<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">Ravyn is a sassy, fun-loving, and adventure-seeking young woman. She loves to travel and</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"> can’t wait for her next vacation, </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">wherever it migh</span>t be.
Ravyn writes romantic erotica. She began writing romance novels in college, spending her down time either reading a book or writing fiction. Please don’t make her choose between the two, she loves them equally.
She has been published professionally since 2013. Prefer less steamy novels?<br />

my world of lust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to serve you,

under her tight ass I sank my cock balls deep and rode her hard and fast, the
groan of pleasure I expected escaping right on time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“God!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yes! Just like that.”</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "Theano Didot","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">was</i> a god when I fucked, and my balls
tightened in that familiar preparation of release.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pumping in and out, the condom caught my load
and I felt her flesh squeeze and retract as her orgasm flooded my dick. She’d
remember this as the best night of her life, I’d be lucky to remember her face.
Straining into her, she milked me dry and a grunt of pleasure bellowed from my
lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My dick shriveled and I flopped on
my back, catching my breath a few minutes before standing up to discard the
evidence.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 15.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-align: justify; text-indent: .2in;">

a wink, I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Women expected no cuddling session when we
finished, they wanted the image. The man who made them cream their pants when I
served them dinner or put on a personal show for the right price in our private
rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not gay, so I’d be lying if I
said I didn’t enjoy the fucking, but it was all hollow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I couldn’t remember the names of the women
that filled my bed, even the ones that made multiple visits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were just pussy, a way to bust a nut
mostly.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "Theano Didot","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Years ago
when I had a conscious it bothered me, but the women that came my way used me
way more than I used them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was the
pretty eye candy they wanted hanging on their arm to impress their friends, or
the fantasy to fulfill their deviant needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Their Hunk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of it was smoke
and mirrors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They didn’t know jack shit
about me, and I knew even less about them.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: "Theano Didot","serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The busty
little blonde I’d just screwed, climbed in with me taking the soap to clean me
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I let her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“I can’t stay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My husband will wonder where I am.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />

said anyway and let her finish soaping my six pack abs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Returning the favor ended up in another
quickie against the tiled wall before she sailed out of my life like the dozens
of others before her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once upon a time
I’d craved a woman who could see past the exterior that had earned me more
money than I could piss away in a lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I grew the fuck up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div id="iframeContent">
<span style="color: blue;"><em>The third book in the beloved #1 bestselling author's sexy, romantic suspense Slow Burn series…</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">They
say young love doesn't last, but a girl from the wrong side of the
tracks with unique abilities and the hometown golden boy were determined
to defy the odds. For Zack Covington, Anna-Grace—<em>his</em>
"Gracie"—was the one. Until one night forever alters the course of their
future, when a devastated Gracie disappears without a trace, leaving
Zack to agonize over what happened to the girl he loved. As the years
pass, his desperate efforts to find her uncovered nothing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Now
working for Devereaux Security, he stumbles across a painting featuring a
special place only he and Gracie would know. The image is too perfectly
rendered for it to be coincidence. His Gracie must be <em>alive</em>.
When he finally tracks her down, he is shocked—and heart-broken—to
discover the wounded shell of the girl he once knew and still loves. Her
psychic gifts are gone, and worse, she believes he betrayed her all
those years ago.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Zack has enemies, and once his weakness is
discovered, Gracie becomes a target for revenge. He'll have to save her
before he can earn her trust and her love. And he vows they'll never be
torn apart again.</span></div>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f4M3DY57FL4/VHaG5vi-oLI/AAAAAAAAFQ8/aY0bGMOLHVY/s1600/coollogo_com-14994183.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="116" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-f4M3DY57FL4/VHaG5vi-oLI/AAAAAAAAFQ8/aY0bGMOLHVY/s200/coollogo_com-14994183.png" width="200" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> I am a fan of Maya Banks. I love her books and I was grateful for the chance to read Zack and Gracie's story. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">Zack is the all American golden boy and Gracie is the "wrong side of the tracks" girl that he falls in love with. One minute Gracie is there and the next Zack's whole world is different. He struggles to find his place in a world that doesn't involve Gracie and finds that nothing is the same. When he finds out that Gracie is alive, he knows that their love is meant to be and wants a second chance with Gracie.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">Couple of things about this story. First, it triggered for me. Just a heads up to folks that have had a bad experience, this did it for me. It was hard for me to read for a bit. I liked Zack but sometimes I wanted to reach through the book and smack him in the head. Move on, man! I liked Gracie but there were times when I just couldn't connect with her. I found that she didn't seem to have as much faith in the love of her life as I thought she should have had. Everyone reacts differently to a trauma though, so I shouldn't judge. While I like the security angle that Zack works, I would have like to see him as a professional football player. That would have been awesome. :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="color: blue;">This was a different kind of Maya Banks read for me. While I liked it, it was not my favorite in the series. I look forward to more in the future.</span> </span><br />

<span style="background-color: blue; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s 1941 and Alice “Al” Huffman comes from the potato fields of Long Island with her childhood friends to make it on the Broadway stage, only to find she has no talent. She meets Juliana, the glamorous, perpetually-on-the-brink-of stardom nightclub singer whose voice sounds to her like “warm milk slipping down the whole of my body.” </span></div>

Al is determined to hang onto Juliana no matter what. The only problem is that Juliana is more a woman of her time than Al could ever have expected. </span></div>

Cameo appearances are made by Liberace, Ethel Merman, Talulah Bankhead, Lauren Bacall, Angela Lansbury and other 1940s celebrities.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>In a compelling, richly
researched novel that draws from thousands of letters and original sources,
bestselling authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie tell the fascinating,
untold story of Thomas Jefferson’s eldest daughter, Martha “Patsy” Jefferson
Randolph—a woman who kept the secrets of our most enigmatic founding father and
shaped an American legacy.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From her earliest days, Martha “Patsy” Jefferson
knows that though her father loves his family dearly, his devotion to his
country runs deeper still. As Thomas Jefferson’s oldest daughter, she becomes
his helpmate in the wake of her mother’s death, traveling with him when he
becomes American minister to France. And it is in Paris, at the glittering
court and among the first tumultuous days of revolution, that she learns of her
father’s liaison with Sally Hemings, a slave girl her own age.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Patsy too has fallen in love—with her father’s
protégé, William Short, a staunch abolitionist intent on a career in Europe.
Heartbroken at having to decide between being William’s wife or a devoted
daughter, she returns to Virginia with her father and marries a man of his
choosing, raising eleven children of her own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Yet as family secrets come to light during her
father’s presidency, Patsy must again decide how much she will sacrifice to
protect his reputation, in the process defining not just Jefferson’s political
legacy, but that of the nation he founded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Beth had been good at pretending to be this happy carefree girl – bubbly and energetic. Looking at her now, I saw a girl who was anything but carefree. She obviously had demons that haunted her, and I knew from experience that fighting certain demons can be almost impossible.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I listened through the door, making sure Lily had gone. “This isn’t over. Me keeping your secret from Lily is not a sign I’m letting this go. It’s a sign that I’m going to be a thorn in your side until you let me help you.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Beth prickled at my comment and unfurled herself from the protective ball she had curled into. “I don’t need your help!”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">“Yes, you do.” I took another step towards her. Beth took a step back. “And the way I see it, you don’t have much of a choice.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">“What are you talking about?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">“Do you want Lily to know what you’ve been doing?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Beth’s eyes pooled with unshed tears. She looked hurt by my words. “Please don’t tell Lily,” she pleaded in a whisper.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">“I’ll tell her everything unless you let me help you.” The look of fear and disbelief on Beth’s face made me feel like a total jackass.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Her expression changed again. She glowered at me like she wanted to set me on fire. “I hate you so much right now.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">Her words, she meant them. And hearing her tell me she hated me… it hurt, because somewhere along the way I had fallen in love with her.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">“I know you do. But I’d rather you hate me for the right reasons, than like me for the wrong ones. I guess we’ll both have to figure out how to fucking live with that.”</span></div>

<span style="color: #f6b26b;">
</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I cried, I laughed, and I swooned!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">This is not your average romance novel; it’s a thought-provoking, tear jerking, and profoundly emotional love story. Family values, love in its most rare form, and friendship are the core values Sparkman has exemplified with perfection.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">The narration alternates between Hayden and Beth with acute precision, making the complexity of the story line flow naturally. Sparkman’s writing style made me ache for our hero and heroine as the intimate details of their lives unfolded. Their story is never rushed, which made the relationship more genuine, and completely addictive. Serious issues are dealt with tastefully, and the supporting characters make this novel complete.
</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b;">I fell in love with this story almost immediately, and I highly recommend it to any lover of romance!

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Book Old Style;">I grew up in Alabama and have always been an avid reader. I had a stack of those Little Golden Books and I can remember reading Three Little Kittens over and over and over again. It was my favorite.</span></span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Book Old Style;">Fast forward and the older I got the more in love with books I became. So, I'm admitting that I am a huge nerd. The only reading I don't like are those math word problems. And I'm okay with that because no one has ever asked me in real life... "If I give you two bananas and take away six apples, how long will it take the southbound train to collide with the northbound train if Johnny left his house at midnight?" It just doesn't happen.</span></span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Book Old Style;">So, yeah, books are my thing.</span></span></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f9cb9c;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Book Old Style;">Oh and music. All kinds. Love.It.</span></span></span></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After a photograph of Luc Moretti saving a tourist hits social media, he instantly becomes New York's most famous and beloved cop. When a major network decides to run a special on the "American Hero," Luc's boss gives him no choice but to cooperate in the name of good exposure for the department. Luc doesn't mind the celebrity status-what he does mind is the gorgeous brunette journalist who's been assigned to follow his every move. Especially since she also happens to be the same knockout that rejected him rather publicly the week before.<br /><br />Ava Sims is a woman who gets what she wants. And what she wants is to be CBC's lead anchor-but to get there, she'll need to nail the fluff piece on the playboy cop. Luc Moretti is everything Ava knows to stay away from: a stubborn charmer with a hero-complex. But the more Ava gets to know Luc and his oddball family, the more she realizes that beneath the swagger and the blue uniform is a complex man who makes her heart beat too fast. Soon, Ava's doing the unthinkable, and falling for the best of New York's finest ...</span><br />

Layne is the USA Today Bestselling author of contemporary romance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Prior
to becoming an author, Lauren worked in e-commerce and web-marketing. In 2011,
she and her husband moved from Seattle to New York City, where Lauren decided
to pursue a full-time writing career. It took six months to get her first book
deal (despite ardent assurances to her husband that it would only take three).
Since then, Lauren's gone on to publish ten books, including the bestselling
Stiletto series, with several more on the way in 2015.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lauren
currently lives in Chicago with her husband and spoiled Pomeranian. When not
writing, you'll find her at happy hour, running at a doggedly slow pace, or
trying to straighten her naturally curly hair.</span></div>

and bestselling author with over twenty published titles in fiction and
nonfiction. She covers everything from travel to politics in nonfiction, as
well as romance, paranormal, and dark, “ripped from the headlines” topics like
Dirty Little Secrets.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Ginger
discovered her love for writing in sixth grade, courtesy of a Halloween
assignment. From then on, writing became a place of solace, reflection, and
security. This was never more true than when she found herself homeless in L.A.
at the age of nineteen. There, she wrote her first novel, Chasing Thunder,
longhand on notebook paper, while living out of her car. Fittingly, this book
will be the first released through traditional publisher in 2015.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> In 1995,
after she lost her nine-day-old son, she worked through her grief by writing
the story that would eventually become The Fullerton Family Saga.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> In 2011,
she embarked on a new journey—to publish romance novels starring heroines who
look more like the average American woman. These "Rubenesque"
romances have developed a following thanks to her bestselling Groupie series.
Other titles, such as the highly-rated New Adult series, Fierce, tap into the
"reality-TV" preoccupation in American entertainment, which gives her
contemporary stories a current, pop culture edge.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Known
for writing gut-twisting angst, Ginger isn’t afraid to push the envelope with
characters who are perfectly imperfect. Whether rich, poor, sweet, selfish,
gay, straight, plus-size or svelte, her characters are beautifully flawed and
three-dimensional. They populate her lavish fictional landscapes and teach us
more about the real world in which we live simply through their interactions
with each other. Ginger’s goal with every book is to give the reader a little
bit more than they were expecting, told through stories they'll never forget.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
