font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">By Penelope Ward</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My phone rang, and I looked down to find it was Lourdes, a woman I’d hung out with over a year ago. She’d been texting me lately to get together, and I’d been ignoring her messages. I silenced the ringer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Who was that?” Abby asked.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Someone named—none of your business.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“A woman? Is that why you’re in such a rush to get back to London?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Trust me, I haven’t met anyone worth rushing anywhere for.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Well, excuse me, Mr. Picky.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I rolled over a bit to face her, resting my chin on my hand. “You think it’s odd to be selective?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I don’t think you’re being selective. I think you’re closed off to <i>everyone</i>. There’s a difference.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You seem to have me pegged, but what about you? Why are <i>you</i> single?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I had a bad experience, as I think I’ve mentioned, and haven’t felt like having my heart toyed with again.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“How long ago was that? The guy who broke up with you…”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Nearly three years now.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“But you’ve dated since that breakup.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Yeah. There’ve been a few brief…”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Hookups?” I arched a brow.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I guess I can admit that now that you’re not actively assessing my character.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Why would I judge you for that? Sex is natural—necessary for survival, if you ask me.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You just don’t want to have anything to do with the women after.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unable to deny it, I shrugged. “There haven’t been <i>that</i> many women since Britney. At least nothing compared to when I was younger. Most of the time, I meet someone and decide not to go through with anything. But of the encounters I <i>have</i> had, yeah, it’s never mattered whether I saw them again.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“What was different about Britney? I mean, when you met her? How did you know she was the one?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">My chest constricted. “I’d love to be able to give you a less cliché answer—because I <i>hate</i> clichés—but I just knew. After about an hour together, I never wanted to be apart from her.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Fair enough. They say that’s what happens sometimes. You just <i>know</i>.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You’ve never experienced that?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Nope.” Abby shook her head. “Still waiting for it to happen to me.” She smiled. “Anyway, for the record, I don’t just hook up with people randomly, like <i>some</i> people.” She elbowed me. “I have to know them first.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Knowing you, Abby, I can’t imagine you not asking someone a million questions before you sleep with them.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Well, yeah. I need to know who I’m dealing with. I’m not going to waste my time with anyone who’s not a good person—even if I’m wildly attracted to them.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Sometimes less is more,” I mumbled.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“This from the man who interrogated me the first time he met me.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Well, I need to know a bit more about someone who’s going to be carrying my child than I would someone I’m merely going to...”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“F*ck?” She finished my sentence.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The word on her tongue gave me an unwanted thrill. I wouldn’t have minded hearing her say it a few more times, which probably meant I needed my head checked.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You wanna go?” she asked.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Somehow I’d forgotten my urgency to leave. I’d become pretty comfortable in this spot on the hay. It wasn’t about the hay at all, though, was it?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Well, now you’ve made me lazy. You’re a bad influence, Knickerbocker.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">She leaned her head on her hand. “Why don’t you just sleep at the inn tonight? Lavinia loves your company.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“She’ll be conked out by the time we get back there, but I suppose you have a point. At this hour, I might as well just drive into London with you in the morning.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You keep work clothes at The Bainbridge, right?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Yes. I have everything I need in my room.” I looked out through the barn door. It was now completely nightfall. “Now that it’s dark, you need to be careful driving back.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You’ll be behind me anyway, in case I run into trouble, right?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Well, you won’t find me driving in front of you ever again,” I teased.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Good one.” She laughed as she stood and brushed off her dress. “Can you turn around for a minute?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I narrowed my eyes but did as she asked. “Okay…why am I doing this?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A few seconds passed. “All good now.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“What was that all about?” I asked.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“You promise not to make fun of me?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“No. But tell me anyway.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I had a piece of hay stuck in my underwear.” She flashed a goofy smile.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And then…I laughed for what felt like the first time in years.</div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNgi0YYC5lIOvdzaC4cmldNGx28lGce3hgoNEsguD92wqu_aMp5yINkwfk1vdzyXtvJ_WYUeCNcMUUAielyDFzE0eEqoVs4-zFOoPzpSiBmpctG2RsEVCxgfDSzdmOyM5pvjsXUdL1KzgvAfQL-Ke0Oee7vwAPmTECEnxkMzUtTMY5FN92e-6GfyTU31ZI/s2498/The%20Surrogate%20Special%20Edition%20Full%20Wrap.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1857" data-original-width="2498" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNgi0YYC5lIOvdzaC4cmldNGx28lGce3hgoNEsguD92wqu_aMp5yINkwfk1vdzyXtvJ_WYUeCNcMUUAielyDFzE0eEqoVs4-zFOoPzpSiBmpctG2RsEVCxgfDSzdmOyM5pvjsXUdL1KzgvAfQL-Ke0Oee7vwAPmTECEnxkMzUtTMY5FN92e-6GfyTU31ZI/w400-h297/The%20Surrogate%20Special%20Edition%20Full%20Wrap.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

This book allowed me to have some of the most special and memorable experiences as an author. It helped me cultivate special friendships and gain many loyal fans. I am grateful for Love, Lies & The D.A. because, without it, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful readers. That's why I wanted to find a way to celebrate its special 10th anniversary. You can now find the Special 10th Anniversary Edition cover, which showcases one of Jada, Jonathan's (and my) favorite places on earth, McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, Big Sur, California. This special edition is available in both eBook and hardcover formats, exclusively on <a href="https://amzn.to/3SDTIGR" target="_blank">Amazon</a>.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiqRP3HWvWrjsc0ahB-4quc2r4szvf1KvRIjGp4ew9mcvHK0CRRZO-p_Due4LlRJOgn_CXEVS_Fmrezprj6jmfqotESyFHFVIzAE6DuAv2FdxqKT4ZO0-UGQBbyQGnHwDHz-YfxpTV3g3pR6e3j1j4ttNI-7-cpU4b4xoZtWAA6m2fE_vX1j_nIrJTajil/s2550/2024-10th-Anniversary-Cover-Love-Lies-&-The-Front-Cover.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiqRP3HWvWrjsc0ahB-4quc2r4szvf1KvRIjGp4ew9mcvHK0CRRZO-p_Due4LlRJOgn_CXEVS_Fmrezprj6jmfqotESyFHFVIzAE6DuAv2FdxqKT4ZO0-UGQBbyQGnHwDHz-YfxpTV3g3pR6e3j1j4ttNI-7-cpU4b4xoZtWAA6m2fE_vX1j_nIrJTajil/s320/2024-10th-Anniversary-Cover-Love-Lies-&-The-Front-Cover.jpg" /></span></a><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-large;">Love Lies & The D.A. Synopsis</span></h2><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Jada McLean is about to get married in nine days, when she walks in on her fiancé in a little more than a compromising position. Days later, she’s on a trip that she intends to be relaxing and a prelude to her fresh start, when she runs into the rude, obnoxious, but gorgeous Jonathan Kole.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Jonathan Kole is San Francisco’s newest District Attorney. When he finds himself deeply attracted to a stunning beauty, he has no idea that she’s about to get into BIG trouble with the law—and he’ll be the one presiding over her trial. To make matters worse, his father is the lawyer representing her in the high-profile case.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When a series of events force them together over New Year’s weekend, Jonathan’s feelings and ethics will come into question, while Jada comes to terms with the fact that she is falling for the man that will be responsible for attempting to put her behind bars… Little do they know, they’re both about to fall into a whirlwind so deep, it will send both their lives spiraling out of control.</div></span><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #999999;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Excerpt</span></span></h2><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;">I wake at eleven the next day. I haven’t slept that late in forever. Except for when Richard and I—I stop my thoughts. I will start the day on a bright note.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I shower and dress in a white pair of skinny jeans, a navy and white striped top, and a navy blazer. A pair of navy stiletto booties complete my outfit. I will indulge in brunch at a nearby resort today.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The pretty, young host escorts me to a table for two near a window with panoramic water vistas. Within minutes, a server takes my order. As my café latté arrives, I can’t help but overhear a rude exchange between a man and his leggy blonde with the host who escorted me to my seat.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Look, I reserved that exact seat yesterday,” he says.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“I apologize, sir, but that seat is not available,” the host replies.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Well, if you were doing your job in the first place, it would be available to me, wouldn’t it?”</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Sir, I’m sorry for the error, but it wasn’t written here. If you like, you can wait at the bar where I’ll be happy to serve you a complimentary beverage of your choice, or I can accommodate you at an available table now.”</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I can’t help but look to see who this asshole is.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Everything about him smells of money. From the designer jeans that hug his ass, all the way to the Jaeger Reverso watch that graces his wrist. He’s hot—probably in his mid to late thirties, tall, broad shoulders, piercing grey eyes, and a head of black hair like I’ve never seen.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ordinarily, I might have found him attractive, if only he would just shut up.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Everything he says to that poor young girl, who has tried so hard to rectify someone else’s mistake, pisses me off. He’s been nothing but rude and condescending. As I look up, my eyes land straight on his. Then I realize they’re all looking my way. I turn around to look behind me, but there is no one.

<p>But for some reason, I was edgy now.<br />No, that was a lie. It wasn’t just some reason. I knew exactly what it was.<br />And it wasn’t Daisy and Kane, my fellow team members today. No, it was the other one.<br />Her.<br />I didn’t want to think about her, but I wasn’t sure I could stop. I needed to, however. My job demanded it.<br />I was a bodyguard and an installer. I not only protected my clients and charges, I also installed security equipment for businesses and homes. While my bosses laid out the security profiles and programs for large corporations and small residences—and also worked with cybersecurity—I did the installs when I wasn’t on bodyguard duty. I enjoyed both aspects of my job and was talented at it.<br />Yet it didn’t feel like that.<br />Not with her.<br />It was always hard to think about anything when it came to Jennifer. My coworker and my nemesis. Not that she knew she was my nemesis. No, that was all on me.<br />Those blue-gray eyes of hers were piercing and saw everything. At least when it came to the job. She could scent an incoming threat as quickly as I could, and that was saying something. I might be cocky as fuck when it came to my job, but it was for a reason.<br />And Jennifer was sometimes even better.<br />Her dark brown hair was pulled into a tight bun away from her face. I liked it when her hair was down, though, since it fell in soft waves past her shoulders. She pulled it back in a ponytail or a braid when she was working out, but when she was on duty, like today, it was in a bun, so nobody could use it against her in a fight.<br />I always kept my hair decently short, but my beard was getting longer. I’d probably have to trim it soon. I wasn’t trying to blend in like I had with my old job when everybody had long beards, and I was undercover. Now, I needed to trim it a bit so nobody could pull it in a fight.<br />But Jennifer? She’d thought about all of that already. Hence the bun.<br />She was slim with a narrow waist and average height—though not much about her was average. But that delicate frame was all muscle. She could bench press more than a few of the guys on the team and kick any of our asses on any given day. Hell, she’d pinned me to the ground once, and I nearly swallowed my tongue. And then I’d had to hide my erection from her. Like I did most days. Because Jennifer was a distraction.<br />My distraction.</p>

font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Cheryl Terra is releasing a new series! Check out the If You Can… series, starting with the prequel THE BOY NEXT DOOR, available February 16th–pre-order for .99 now!<br />Pre-order: h<a href="ttps://amzn.to/48rFTSi">ttps://amzn.to/48rFTSi</a><br />Kiss Me If You Can: <a href="https://bit.ly/KissMeIfYouCan">https://bit.ly/KissMeIfYouCan</a><br />~*~<br />Nellie Belanger never intended to start university as a virgin. But even though she’s determined to have her first time before the summer is over, she has two requirements:<br /><br />1. She doesn’t want to end up in a relationship.<br />2. She wants it to be a little more special than “We met at a nightclub and I’m pretty sure your name starts with an N.”<br /><br />Which shouldn’t be that hard to find… right? After all, all she wants is a no-strings-attached hook up that isn’t completely anonymous.<br /><br />Someone who she can have fun with and who won’t spread rumours about her.<br /><br />Someone who would be a bit more memorable than a generic guy in a backwards hat that looks completely different once they step out of the dim lighting of a bar.<br /><br />Someone who knows what he’s doing so her first time won’t suck as much as everyone says the first time does.<br /><br />Someone kind of like the boy next door, her best friend’s older brother with the great smile and reputation for sleeping around.<br /><br />And who just so happens to be the guy she’s crushed on since she was a kid…<br /><br />The Boy Next Door is the spicy prequel to the If You Can series, taking place 3 years before Kiss Me If You Can, a spicy unconventional romance coming April 12, 2024. Please see book interior or author’s website for all content warnings.<br /><br />MY THOUGHTS<br />I just couldn’t put this novella down. It’s a great prequel that is funny.<br /><br />I really like all the Canadian stuff . I was born in Ottawa and speak English and French so I completely understood everything. I laughed out loud a few times.<br /><br />I can’t wait for the first book to come out .<br /><br />I give this one 4 out of 5 stars</span></p>Chantalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03857781016710581131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430914967695437246.post-40040119055473093442024-01-26T08:25:00.000-05:002024-01-26T08:25:09.008-05:00The Surrogate By Penelope Ward <p> </p><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title </span><i style="font-family: arial;">America’s Friendliest Town</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> for seventeen years running, and </span><i style="font-family: arial;">friendly</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> was just what I needed right now.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, <i>friendly</i> wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Instead, I got <i>Fox Cassidy</i>. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But alas, <i>problem</i> seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;">

I’d tossed and turned thinking about Little Miss Home Improvement wearing nothing but a pair of denim short overalls and work boots—no shirt, no socks, definitely no bra or underwear.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Josie hopped down from the last two steps on the ladder. “Can I ask you something?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“What?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Are you always this grumpy in the morning?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I’m not grumpy.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“No? So this is what? Your idea of a sparkling personality? I asked if your coffee was okay, and you grunted at me.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“That wasn’t a grunt. That was a yes.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Josie made a short, deep noise that sounded like a pig.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I arched a brow. “Is that supposed to be me?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">She made the sound again, this time adding some monkeylike arm movements and jumping around. “<i>Gronk</i>.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Cute.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">She jumped again. “<i>Gronk. Gronk</i>.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I tried not to react, but she was just too damn adorable.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Josie pointed at my face. “There it is again. The elusive Mr. Grumpy Pants smile. It’s kind of…dare I say…<i>nice</i>.” She made an exaggerated gasping sound and covered her mouth. “Oh no. I hope it’s not too painful.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Alright, wiseass. I get the point. How about you take your oinking ass out front and grab one of the small two by fours I left on the porch? I’ll show you how to make an easy support to hold up the drywall while it gets screwed into the ceiling.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Josie strutted to the door. The woman was wearing a white tank top and long, pale pink, flowy skirt to do construction. It looked like she was going on a picnic date, rather than hanging sheetrock—though the tank top hugged her in all the right places, and there was something about her collarbone that I couldn’t drag my eyes away from. She bent to pick up the wood out front, and the top of her tank gaped open, giving me a clear view down her shirt. I forced my head in the other direction, though my eyes managed to slant and continue looking.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Jesus Christ,” I grumbled to myself. “I need to get the fu¢k out of here.”</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">★★★ </span></b></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: 700;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: center;">Excited?

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Author: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jillianne Hamilton </span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>Genre: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Historical Romance </span></h2>

<h2><b>About </b><b><i>The Hobby Shop on Barnaby Street</i></b><b>: </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><b>A forbidden wartime romance begins just as German planes fill the skies over London in 1940. A playful and heartfelt read perfect for fans of </b><b><i>Dear. Mrs. Bird</i></b><b>, </b><b><i>The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir</i></b><b>, and </b><b><i>The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society</i></b><b>.</b>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When Maisie Beckett steps into her brother’s struggling London hobby shop during wartime, she’s confronted with two harsh realities: the looming threat of a Nazi invasion and the shop’s dire financial situation. Determined to prove herself to her parents and keep the shop afloat, Maisie moonlights as a pinup photographer, covertly boosting the shop’s earnings. In the midst of London’s nightly bombings, Maisie finds herself irresistibly drawn to the shop’s co-owner, Cal Woodbury, captivated by his quick wit and bashful smile—and his mysterious secret.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But Cal made a promise to his best friend and business partner, Roy—a promise that he would never pursue a romantic relationship with Maisie, Roy’s sweet and beautiful sister. As the German bombs rain down upon London, and as Cal’s bond with Maisie deepens, he discovers that some promises are impossible to keep. When Roy deserts the Navy and unexpectedly appears at Cal’s doorstep, Cal is forced to choose between his loyal friend and the woman he’s falling for.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">While London goes to war around them, Maisie and Cal face their own battle—finding their courage and recognizing their worth.</span>

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">C.D. Britt began her writing journey when her husband told her she needed to use her excessive imagination to write stories as opposed to creating a daily narrative for him. Ever since she penned her first words, life has been a lot more peaceful for him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">She currently resides in Texas where she has yet to adapt to the heat. Her husband thrives in it, so unfortunately, they will not be relocating to colder climates anytime soon.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Their two young children would honestly complain either way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When she is not in her writing cave (hiding from the sun), she enjoys ignoring the world as much as her children will allow with a good book, music, and vast amounts of coffee (until it’s time for wine).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">C.D. Britt is the author of the Reign of Goddesses series, Clan of Shadows series, and the new Blood of Saviors series. </span></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center">From <em>New York Times</em> and <em>USA Today</em> bestselling author Helena Hunting comes a new story in her Pucked series. The untold story of Skye and Sidney, and the origin story where Vi and Miller are teens when their parents start dating and fall in love…</p>

<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I accidentally grabbed the wrong drink at the coffee shop. On the upside, the hot guy it belonged to chased me down to kindly swap with me. On the down side, the reason I grabbed the wrong drink in the first place is because the hot guy had just caught me checking out his ass…sets.</p>

<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">In my defense, his rear view is rather magnificent.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">In true, humiliating form, I word-vomited a bunch of horrible nonsense. Including an unnecessary explanation of the trauma I’d evaded thanks to his chasing me down. Nothing could ruin my lactose-intolerant day faster than my one true nemesis: dairy.</p>

<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I did not expect him to ask me out on a date after that.</p>

<!--wp:paragraph {"align":"center"}-->
<p class="has-text-align-center">I also didn’t expect the date to go well since my tendency to truth-vomit is high, and not everyone finds that quality endearing.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center">But apparently he does. Because he asks me out again.<br />And again.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center">Sidney Butterson (yes, it’s a weird last name) ticks all my boxes.<br />He's smart, he's funny, he's employed and he's ridiculously hot.<br />There’s one catch.</p>

<p>Hubert, the barista, calls out, “Skye and Sidney! Your lattes are ready!”<br />I rush forward and grab mine, muttering a hasty, “Thanks!” Then beeline for the exit. Of course, that’s the moment a hoard of teens barrel through the door, forcing me to hold it open until the entire gaggle has stormed the café.<br />Once outside, I hustle to the crosswalk. I punch the button and glare as the sign counts down from thirty.<br />And then I hear my name being called.<br />I glance toward the café and, much to my horror, the attractive man whose butt I was admiring is rushing toward me, coffee in hand.<br />“Hey! You’re Skye, right?” he asks.<br />“Yes. That’s me.” Maybe he didn’t mind my checking out his butt.<br />“You took the wrong coffee.” He taps the side of the cup with the name SKYE written in Larissa’s lovely cursive.<br />“Oh.” I turn mine around and see Sidney scrawled on the side. And it’s a pumpkin spice latte. Half sweet, skim milk. “Wow. I would have spent the rest of the afternoon working from a bathroom stall if you hadn’t caught me.” At his questioning expression, I continue with the embarrassing word vomit. “I’m lactose intolerant and this much dairy would mean stomach cramps for days.” I bite my lips together and close my eyes. “Sorry. You didn’t need to know that. I haven’t taken a sip. See. No lipstick prints.” I thrust the cup toward him and reluctantly crack a lid.<br />He’s smiling. Widely. “I’m very glad I caught you when I did then. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for an afternoon of prolonged discomfort.”<br />We exchange takeout cups. “It would’ve been my fault for not checking more than the S, but I was trying to escape my embarrassment. Seems like it’s following me around and making things worse.” I step away from this exceptionally hot man who inspires an unprecedented amount of word vomit. “Thank you for stopping me. You, uh...you didn’t drink out of mine, did you?”<br />“I didn’t.” His eyes are blue. So vibrant and pretty and his teeth are straight. I glance at his hand. His ring finger is bare. Then I realize he’s giving my hand the same inspection. “Do you work around here?”<br />“Just across the street.” I thumb over my shoulder. “You?”<br />“No, but I’m in the area often.” He tucks a hand in his pocket. “Maybe you’d like to grab a coffee later this week?”<br />I blink at him. Then open my mouth and ask a stupid question. “Are you asking me out?”<br />“Unless you’re already seeing someone. I didn’t see a ring, so I was hopeful.” His bottom lip slides through his teeth and for a moment, he looks boyishly handsome.<br />“But…you don’t know anything about me.” I don’t know why I haven’t said yes yet. He’s attractive and thoughtful enough to stop me from drinking the wrong coffee. His kindness saved me from ending up curled in the fetal position on a bathroom floor.<br />He rubs the back of his neck. “I’ve seen you here before. I’ve been working up the nerve to introduce myself. Looks like the universe gave me a push in the right direction.” He holds up a hand and gives his head a little shake. “I’m probably making this awkward. I’ll be here Wednesday at eleven-thirty. Hopefully, I’ll see you then.” And with that, he turns and disappears into the crowd.</p>

Luca might be one of the most sought after men in New York thanks to his good looks, wealth and predator-like charisma that radiates power, but the society girls throwing themselves at him don’t know what Aria does: that the bad boy aura isn’t just a game; blood and death lurk beneath Luca’s striking gray eyes and arrogant smile.</span></p><p class="p5" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0e0e; font-family: Arial; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto;

With the fate of her Court and the lives of the Untrialed at stake, the burden will fall on Lysta to convince the other Courts to intervene. Not to mention, the Crowns seem to fear the frustrating albeit handsome man who rescued her more than the one she testifies against. Lysta must find her own strength in a world of powers, battles, and court politics while navigating tumultuous relationships and hidden enemies.</span></p><p class="p9" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0e0e; font-family: Arial; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 16px;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p8" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0e0e; font-family: Arial; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Will Lysta save her Court or be ended by it?</span></p>Chantalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03857781016710581131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430914967695437246.post-59953715172390963462023-12-01T23:00:00.001-05:002023-12-02T06:21:03.024-05:00It's December Already?<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I can't believe it is December already. Years seem to be going faster and faster. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I will be doing a few different posts this month. I will not have many release blitzes this month but I do have a few other special posts coming up. I have some plans but I just need to write them. The posts are more like the year in review, what's on my KU, TBR pile of shame and similar posts. I might do my 2024 goals post too but that will most likely be going up at the end of the month.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I can't wait to start posting all these posts that I have planned.

Olympic volleyball player. Six foot six in socks.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white;">After a crippling injury on the volleyball court causes the U.S. to lose gold at Beijing, Alcima’s life spirals into addiction and an abusive marriage. In a rare moment of clarity, she escapes.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white;">In her husband's two-million-dollar RV.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Almost across the country and out of his grasp, Alcima is stopped for a minor traffic infraction. When she pulls off the road, the massive motorhome rolls over, setting off a chain of events that conspire to trap Alcima in a nearby small town during a week of violent rainstorms.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Holed up in an abandoned campground, hunger forces Alcima to venture out, where she meets a local librarian, Booker Thompson.

But she soon discovers an even worse fate than being found by her revenge obsessed husband. Uncovering long buried secrets about the town – and Booker - she is inexorably drawn down into a terrifying subterranean world where she comes face to face with her fears and her one, tragic physical flaw.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Ultimately, she is betrayed, and there is only one thing she can do.</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Run.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>MY THOUGHT</b></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This is a great thriller book that got me hooked from the very beginning. It has twists and turns that will just make you keep reading. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white;">Willow's Run is </span><span>Robert Bockstael's first novel but I hope it will not be the last.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I bought this on Kindle but I so want to get a physical copy in the very near future and hopefully get Robert to sign it. I had the chance when he was at Deep River GeekFest last summer but unfortunately, because of my social anxiety I just couldn't. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I do very highly recommend it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>

But…if she wasn’t jealous, a few details wouldn’t bother her, right?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I sipped my wine and watched Devyn’s face. “Tarryn asked if I wanted to take her back to my place.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Her eyes narrowed. “That’s nice.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We’ve had sex before.

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When life took an unexpected turn, I decided to get out of New York for a while. What better place to go than the idyllic small town my father spoke about so fondly when I was growing up? Laurel Lake held the title </span><i style="font-family: arial;">America’s Friendliest Town</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> for seventeen years running, and </span><i style="font-family: arial;">friendly</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> was just what I needed right now.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unfortunately, <i>friendly</i> wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Instead, I got <i>Fox Cassidy</i>. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock. But still…he didn’t have to be so grumpy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As time went on though, I started to notice things about Fox other than his glares. Like how he watched me when he thought I wasn’t looking, or how fire ignited in his eyes whenever we bickered. Though I was in Laurel Lake to escape my problems, not create new ones. And getting involved with a man like Fox screamed trouble, even if he was gorgeous and unlike any man I’d ever met.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But alas, <i>problem</i> seemed to be my middle name this year. So why not have some fun while I was here for the summer? It seemed like a good plan. At least until it was time to go home…</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">They say what happens at the lake, stays at the lake. But it’s not so easy to walk away when what stays behind…is your heart.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;">
