Review:<br />
The Barefoot Queen was a very amazing book. It was very long but I thought that it was very interesting. It wasn't the kind of book that I usually read, and I loved the change that this book offered to me.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12209356459885479848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983533592710190563.post-28889942594014430112015-05-07T06:00:00.000-07:002015-05-07T07:02:05.957-07:00Blog Tour + Review: Best I Never Had by Loni Flowers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>New job, new town, new people— new life.</i></b><br /> <br /> That’s what Olivia Langston needed. At twenty eight, she was given a rare opportunity at an internship in the rolling valleys of Crystal Falls in California wine country, far away from her small town roots in North Carolina. It was an unexpected journey she desperately needed after her ex-husband crushed her.<br /> <br /> At DeVine Winery, she expected a fresh start in a new environment to help let go of her past. Instead, she found Daniel Black and a hell of a lot of sexual tension she wasn’t prepared for. He was gorgeous, modestly wealthy, irresistible, and just happened to be part owner of DeVine, one of the largest vineyards in the country.<br /> <br /> If only she knew that before she kissed him her first night in town.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Residing in Eastern North Carolina with her husband, 2
girls, and couch-potato dogs, Loni works a full-time professional job during
the day and writes in her free time. She never thought it was possible to have
a satisfying writing career, but with the love and support of her family, she's
made it part of her life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Loni searches for the tiniest speck of romance in any story
and is a firm believer in the happily-ever-after’s. She thrives off the sexual
tension, and gets a kick out of taking her characters on a roller-coaster ride
of drama-filled emotions. A romance that can soothe the soul is her number one
priority.</span><br />

One of my all-time favorite genres to read happens to be historical fiction with a little bit of romance (or a lot). Joanna Shupe did a fantastic job of writing these wonderful characters. I loved Julia, and her attitude. I really liked Nick also, but he had his moments where I just sat on bed, shaking my head at him. I really loved how Julia and Nick obviously belonged together. They were probably one of my top ten favorite couples in a book.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Excerpt</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Alex grieved as she looked toward the Louvre for possibly the last time. She had no choice but to leave Paris and the sublime treasures forming its artistic soul. Overhearing Luc’s plan to celebrate their four-month anniversary by murdering her set off her own plan of running as far away from him as possible. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
What began as a fairytale romance had morphed into a traumatic descent into hell. Luc had no problem stealing fine art and artifacts and using Alex’s expertise in appraisals to dupe art collectors and even small countries of their valuable assets. She had huge problems with those things. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
While his main henchman, Pascal, drove them through Paris, Luc held her hand in the back of the Mercedes like they were still lovers. They appeared perfect for each other, a rich art collector and the young art appraiser who had fallen head over heels for him. Rugged good looks combined with an enormous amount of wealth made him an ideal catch for a woman who didn’t mind being beaten into submission. Alex minded.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dressed in a thousand dollar suit and wearing a sophisticated five o’clock shadow across his chiseled features, Luc seemed headed out for a night at the theater, not on the way to eliminate his girlfriend. Alex leaned away from him. She needed to get away. His free hand caressed her arm, rubbed her shoulder, and pulled her back toward him. Moving slowly, seductively, he wrapped his fingers around her neck and started to squeeze. He stared at her, his eyes neither narrowing nor widening, only observing her reaction. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I promise I won’t tell anyone. I swear it.” She pleaded for her life, speaking French, the only language they’d ever spoken to each other. As his hand tightened with her words, she gasped and struggled for breath.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Luc pulled her face closer to his. His lips pinched together, causing the muscles in his neck to tense. “Liar.”</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The more she struggled to pull away, the more his grip tightened. No longer able to inhale, her eyes watered and her life began to fade. With nothing left to lose, she struck out at his face. He released her, but slapped her ear so hard, her head flew into the door. The pain ricocheted through her skull, leaving her numb for a moment.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
She glanced out the window and saw salvation. As Pascal slowed for a turn, she opened the door and jumped. Her Chanel suit acted as her only protection when she hit the ground and bounced onto the road. Asphalt scraped her skin with each rotation until she slammed into the curb. Pain rebelled in ribs not yet healed from her fall down Luc’s marble stairway. Car brakes screeched nearby. In seconds, they would be on her. She hobbled to her feet, sucking in huge breaths.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Alex merged into the manic crowd entering the Gare du Nord at rush hour. She dodged men and women in suits, groups of school children, and what felt like hundreds of tourists. With her passports tucked in a travel belt under her skirt and several hundred euros in her possession, she boarded the high-speed train for London and prayed he wouldn’t follow her.</div>
</div>

Cleveland probably had the most profound effect on her ability to pronounce the “r” in the word “park.”<br />
<br />
She does try to return now and then to visit family and eat long neck clams and lobster. Summers on Cape Cod are also high on the priority list.<br />
<br />
Her experience in crime involves time as a court appointed attorney. Eventually, she switched fields to where bigger crimes take place, corporate tax. The allure of spending mornings in her pajamas homeschooling her children and writing fascinating fiction caused her to change careers again. Now that the kids are out of the house (in school), she writes romantic thrillers by day and is the perfect wife and mother at night.<br />
<br />
Her experience in romance is limited to one man. Luckily, he’s still finding ways to charm her by taking her on vacations to the south of France, Fiji, and the Green Mountains when time is short. Avid travelers, they love to roam with their kids across continents in pursuit of skiing, scuba diving, and the perfect piece of chocolate.<br />
<br />
She’s lived in London, Paris, Geneva, Washington D.C., and the accent destroying city of Cleveland. She currently resides near Philadelphia.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
*I recevied this book free to read in exchange for an honest review.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This book was really interesting and very well-written. I have never read a book by Veronica Forand, but based on this book alone, I would definitely read another book by her. The book was fast-paced, and kept you on the edge of your seat just waiting to see what would happen next. It is from both perspetives of Alex and Henry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can definitely tell there is chemistry between the two of the them, and they fit so perfectly together. Henry was really loyal to Alex, and you could tell that she meant a lot to him. His brother was amazing too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This book has the perfect blend of romance and action, and amazing characters that you love from beginning to end.</div>

She has been writing stories set in this period since her teenage years but it was not until 2007 that the first edition of BY THE SWORD was published. It went on to win the 2008 EPIC Award for Best Historical Romance. Alison has now published 6 full length novels and a collection of her short stories. When she is not writing she is travelling and has dragged her family around the sites of every major battle of the English Civil War. <br />
<br />
Alison lives in Melbourne, Australia. She is a lapsed lawyer who has worked in the military and fire service, with an obvious obsession for men in uniform, which may explain a predisposition to soldier heroes. <br />

<b>Excerpt</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(Excerpt Context: Kate and Jonathon are discussing Kate's husband, the parliamentarian, Richard Ashley)</i><b> </b> </div>
<br />
Kate nodded, a faint colour rising in her cheeks. ‘I had a good dowry and Richard fair prospects.’ She looked up at him, holding his eyes with her clear gaze. ‘And we loved each other.’<br /><br />Dear God, this bloody war, Jonathan thought. ‘And if it were not for the war, you would be living in wedded bliss in Barton Manor, surrounded by a brood of children,’ he said.<br /><br />Kate looked away and he knew his observation had hit home. He reached for her hand and when she tried to pull away he tightened his grip, forcing her to look up at him. <br /><br />‘I’m sorry, Kate, that was a thoughtless remark. I’m the last person who has any right to do that.’ He released her hand. ‘From what I knew of Richard, he did not have the heart of a soldier.’<br /><br />He knew more about Richard Ashley than he was prepared to reveal. A scholar, not a soldier. Richard should be at home at Barton Manor with this woman and their children. Not dead in the ground at the age of twenty-two. <br /><br />Kate looked up at him, her brow creased in puzzlement, and he cursed himself for revealing too much. <br /><br />‘What could you possibly have known of him? The Thorntons have been estranged from the Ashleys for over thirty years.’ This time he bit his tongue and when he didn’t reply she continued. ‘To answer your question, Richard may not have gone willingly to the war but he fought bravely against the terrible odds in the North. He followed Sir <br /><br />Thomas Fairfax into hell during those early years.’Jonathan nodded. ‘Fairfax’s men had it hard in those early years.’ He paused. ‘Was he with Fairfax that day at Marston Moor?’<br /><br />‘Of course,’ Kate replied. ‘Were you there? Is it possible you faced Richard?’<br /><br />Of course Jonathan had been there with Prince Rupert’s cavalry. It had been a bloodbath. Marston Moor had put in train a series of tragic events in his own life that had nothing to do with the battle. <br /><br />He swallowed and gave a barely perceptible nod. ‘I was on the other flank with Rupert.’<br /><br />‘What did it matter?’ A rare flash of anger rose in Kate. ‘You wouldn’t have known Richard if you had met on the battlefield.’<br /><br />Yes I would, he thought. ‘That is the tragedy of a civil war, Kate.’<br /><br />She didn’t seem to notice that he had used her given name. Her eyes blazed with anger and misery. ‘They brought him home to die. It was a horrible death.’ Her voice cracked.<br /><br />She lowered her head and took several deep shuddering breaths that wracked her body. <br /><br />Without thinking, Jonathan lifted his hand to her face, tilting her chin so she looked at him. Her eyes swam with unshed tears. Tears he had caused. <br /><br />‘So many deaths. Too many, Kate. Believe me, it’s not always easy to be the survivor. I may not be dead but I have lost all that is important to me. It’s a hollow victory over death.’<br /><br />So many deaths...Marston Moor and afterwards, Oxford. He had run at life, stumbled into the path of innocent people, and he had survived while they had died. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="freeText1618296536480463333">I don't usually read books that involve widows because I love first loves (not that there is anything wrong with falling in love again or anything, I just don't usually pick up books like that). But, I was really intrigued because I love historical fiction, and the cover and blurb were fantastic. I love the historical part of this book because one I have never read a book set in 1650 as of yet. So, this was my first book in this specific time period. The romance was interesting in this book because it's not simple. It's not I love you and you love me, so let's just be together kind of love. It's we love each other, but there are things that we have to consider too. The characters were very well-written, a strong hero and a strong heroine. Stuart wrote a wonderful, exciting story, with beautiful descriptions that was easy to become hooked in. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.<b> </b></span></div>

<div style="align: justify;">
She turned back up the trail, and pushed herself to go forward. The next few strides hurt less than
the first. She picked up her pace, and squinted into the last of the sunlight, as her heart pounded
in her chest.</div>

<blockquote>
<div style="align: justify;">
She took deep breaths as she pushed herself harder, confident that she was gaining ground, and
when she reached a clearing by the lake, she looked back.</div>

It was a man, or what looked like one, but his face was white. And red.</div>

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Amelia Bonnington braced herself as the crowd bumped and pushed, straining to get close to His Highness. The crème of society shoved and elbowed, politely-of-course, since one would never want to be accused of bad manners.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Prince Regent stood on a small platform elaborately decorated with heavy boughs of greenery and red velvet, matching the Christmas décor of the massive ballroom. Hundreds of beeswax candles burned. No expense had been spared for the house party celebrating his royal visit.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Amelia had no desire to be part of the prince’s circle; they were a ghastly group who were only interested in themselves and their own pleasure.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">She sucked in the little air left in the room and pushed, courteously-of-course, toward the door. The crowd and the heat were unbearable. She wasn’t one to swoon, but with the thick mix of perfume and the hot bodies, she felt tonight might be her first. She, one of the steadiest women, felt unsteady and unsafe. The last days of upheaval must have had a greater effect on her than she had wanted to believe.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Her whole world had been turned upside down and twisted sideways at this house party. In the last two days, her friends had been poisoned and kidnapped, and she had been ensnared in the French villain’s trap. But the deadly crisis had to be kept secret. Nothing must look out of the ordinary. No one outside the intelligence world ever know about the enemy’s threat to the Prince Regent’s life. The ball must go on.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Amelia looked over her shoulder for the closest exit, but the throng pushed her forward. She needed to escape from the packed room. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A gentleman used the chaos in the crowded room, to crash into her, to take liberties with her person. After spending the last four years in congested ballrooms, she fully recognized the scoundrel’s ploy. His heavy eyelids didn’t conceal his hungry eyes, focused down her décolletage. As his eyes remained fixated on her breasts, he grabbed her elbow, pretending to help her when in fact he intended to pull her close against his hefty, malodorous body.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">His reek of stale alcohol and sour sweat constricted her stomach and burned her throat. She pulled her arm away from his grasp, repulsed by the wetness seeping through his gloves. “Sir, release me this instant.” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> She was about to dig her heel into the supposed gentleman’s fat toe when suddenly a space opened around her and a smell of fresh lime soap surrounded her.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The perspiring man stared behind her. His slack mouth and his blood-shot eyes widened in fear.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> She recognized Lord Brinsley’s scent without needing to turn; he was an impossibly difficult, yet irresistibly appealing man. His deep, velvety voice flitted down her skin like a caress. “Miss Amelia, may I escort you away from this mob?”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Relief and something much more potent buzzed all her nerve endings. She turned quickly and found herself pressed against the broad chest of the man she had been forced to conspire with to save her friends.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">She hastily straightened herself. “I never thought I’d be happy to see you.” She refused to be like all the other women who fawned for his slightest glance.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He lifted an eyebrow and the corner of his mouth in that sardonic way she always found irritating. He was too big, too handsome, and too confident for her to find him irresistible. She’d never let him have the satisfaction of knowing she found him…almost irresistible.</span></div>

Living with a secret terror, Amberley's health begins to suffer, forcing her to
seek refuge from all the London complications by heading down to her childhood
holiday home at the Cornish Coast.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">She came back from the
kitchen holding
a bottle of the local sparkling wine they’d had before and two champagne
flutes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘I thought you’d like this,’ she
said
handing him the bottle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘The glasses were made
locally too,’
she added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘You really have put a lot of
thought
into things, thank you. I take it you want me to open the bottle.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">She laughed nervously. ‘As
long as you
promise me not to take your eye out, or mine… don’t forget, I know your track
record.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">The air was heavy with
tension. She
felt heady, almost breathless with anticipation. The way he was looking at her
made her feel extremely feminine and sexy. She wondered what the coming night
would bring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Greg could feel it too; his
hand shook
a little as he attempted to open the bottle. This time, the cork did not come
out as expertly as it had before when he’d opened a bottle. It sprayed from the
bottle like an erupting volcano, most of it going over him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Amberley laughed. He
looked so comical,
with the bottle still in his hand and the liquid dripping off him. He stood up
and placed the bottle down on the table. Amberley stood up too. She bent
forward and held her knees trying to regain her breath. It had been such a long
time since she’d laughed that much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘Oh that was so funny. I
wished I’d
recorded it on my phone. Your face is a picture, Greg.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">She could feel the mirth
bubbling up
inside her again. Raising her head to look at him once more, she could see he
had a twinkle in his eye. A deliciously wicked smile crossed his face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘So, Miss Masterson, you
think that was
funny do you?’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘It’s the funniest thing I’ve
ever
seen.’ She laughed loudly again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘Come here,’ he said, a trace
of
authority in his voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘And why should I?’ she
replied,
placing her hands on her hips, a look of challenge in her eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘Because you need to take
your
punishment for laughing at me.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘And what if I don’t?’ she
asked,
raising her eyebrows.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘If you don’t, then I will just
have to
come and get you. So what’s it to be?’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Slowly Amberley backed
away from him,
putting the sofa between them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘I will not come quietly, so I
guess
you’ll have to try and catch me.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘Right, you asked for it,’ he
said,
edging slowly towards her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">She backed further away
and stood near
to the dining table.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘Well, come on then, I’m only
a
helpless female after all… so what are you waiting for?’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">He leapt towards her,
quicker than she
expected. He grabbed her hand but she managed to wriggle free, squealing with
laughter as she did so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘You’ll have to be quicker
than that,’
she said with laughter in her voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">She made a dash for the
other side of
the sofa, shrieking as he chased after her. Her toe caught on the mat; she
tripped and fell onto the sofa. She turned and attempted to get up. Greg was
too fast; he pounced on her, pinning her down on the cushions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘Gotcha,’ he said
panting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘Okay,’ she replied, still
trying to
control her breathing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 21.3pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">‘Now you’ve got me… what
are you going
to do with me?’<o:p></o:p></span></div>

1985. The death of Eleanor's twin sister tears her family apart. Her father blames her mother for the accident. When Eleanor's mother looks at her, she sees only the daughter she lost. Their wounded family crumbles under the weight of their shared grief.</div>

1993. Eleanor is fourteen years old when it happens for the first time... when she walks through an ordinary door at school and finds herself in another world.

Not everyone’s good at one-night stands.
Skye Stephens has the worst day of her professional career, and all she wants to do is
shed her power suit and get lost in the sheets with the hot guy she met at the bar. The

About <em>Somewhere Between Water and Sky</em>
I heard it said once that every human is a story with skin.
If this is true, paragraphs would be etched in the scars on my wrists.
Whole chapters could be written about the way my heart pounds when I startle awake.
And every single one of my tears could fill a book.
But stories, with all their promise, only leave room for disappointment. I don’t have room for that
anymore. I left it all—the hope, the love, the promise—back in my old life with the ghosts I’d rather
forget: Jude. Emma. Pacey.
This is how I dare to move forward and to believe in a new beginning. I let go of the old. I just grab the
new and run. I don’t wait around anymore. I can’t.
Waiting leaves room for the voices.
Somewhere between water and sky, I'll find a way to burn these voices to the ground.

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I heard it said once that every human is a story with skin.
If this is true, paragraphs would be etched in the scars on my wrists.
Whole chapters could be written about the way my heart pounds when I startle awake.
And every single one of my tears could fill a book.
I watch the people sitting around me on the bus. The single mother with two rowdy toddlers, the older
couple on vacation with cameras strapped to their necks, the boy rapping beats under his breath and
writing in a journal—all of them breathe into this poetry of life.
Normally, I’d want to know their stories. I’d wait for hints of who they were inside, the poetic shifts that
make us human. Now I just watch.
The boy rapping pauses with his hand in mid air and thinks for a minute. Breaking into a smile, he nods
vigorously and lowers his hand to his paper. I frown. I used to have a piece of that poetry inside. It’s just
all a little broken now. I don’t know how to fix the one thing that used to put me back together. The
poems still come; I just don’t know what to do with them anymore. If I’m feeling particularly brave, I’ll
attempt to scratch them into a journal.
Usually, I just write them with my finger on my jeans. No one needs to read them anyway. Besides, I
can’t hold on to them for very long. The silence is on fire and the sentences and scenes that used to
extinguish those flames do nothing but fan it hotter and brighter. I’m a new person here—no one knows
anything about me. All of my journals are in various trash cans around the city. I fill one up and then
throw it away, shedding the skin and finding someone new underneath every single time.
This is how I dare to move forward and believe in a new beginning. I let go of the old. I just grab the new
and run. I don’t wait around anymore. I can’t.
<em>Like clockwork</em>
<em>the words disappear at dusk</em>
<em>empty cans filled up </em>
<em>like dust.</em>
Rapper boy looks back up and catches me watching him and then offers a shy smile. My fingers pause
their lines and curl in to the protection of my hand. I flip my lips upward into a quick grin and then look
away before he can strike up a conversation.
I don’t want to know his story.
Stories, with all of their promise, only leave room for disappointment. I don’t have room for that
anymore. I left it all—the hope, the love, the promise—back in my old life with the ghosts I’d rather
forget: Jude. Emma. Pacey.
Something like grief catches in my throat and a small burst of air escapes through my parted lips.
I miss him. I miss him and I can’t miss him. If I give into these feelings…this emptiness…I shake my head
and wipe the stray tear on my cheek.
This is ridiculous.
Reaching into my bag, I pull out my phone. One missed call shows itself on the screen and I frown. No
one has my number. I swipe the screen open and scroll through until I notice UNKNOWN NUMBER in red
font.
<em>Red like blood.</em>
I shudder.
After the life I’ve lived, I’m nothing if not over-dramatic. It’s whatever. I feel I’ve earned it.
With a few more quick swipes, I delete the notification and sigh the misgiving away. There’s no
voicemail, and so there’s nothing to worry about yet.
No harm, no foul. No one knows your number. No one knows your number.
I’ve learned different but I’m choosing another way of living. I repeat these phrases in my head, tapping
the rhythm of the words on my knee.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Elora Ramirez lives in Austin, Texas with her chef-husband. At the age of four,
she taught herself how to read and write, cutting her teeth on books like Dr. Seuss and writing anywhere
she could find the space--including her Fisher Price kitchen set, the pages of picture books and Highlights
Magazine. Since then, she's grown to love the way words feel as they swell within her bones. Writing
holy and broken is her calling, and pushing back the darkness and pursuing beauty through story is her
purpose. She embraces the power of story and teaches women from all parts of the world how to
embrace theirs. She has a knack of calling things out , the truth and the detail, the subversive threads
that make a life a story. She loves hip-hop, wishes she lived by the beach and cannot write without
copious amounts of coffee, chocolate, music, and her husband's lavender liqueur.

<strong>About<em> No Weddings (Release Date Sep 8):</em></strong>
<em>Award-winning author Kat Bastion teams with her husband, Stone Bastion, in this first book in the
No Weddings Series about Cade Michaelson, a successful man with his sights set on a new venture in
business, and Hannah Martin, the woman who makes it personal.</em>
I think I have my act together as a successful bar owner, my master’s degree within reach, and a list of
no-strings-attached women warming my bed. Turns out, I don’t.
Hannah believes she has safeguarded her wounded heart by shunning men and focusing on her new
baking business. The thing is, she hasn’t.
When my three sisters and I start a new event-planning business with Hannah as our baker, I have no
idea how my life is about to change. As Hannah and I work closely together, the attraction between us
becomes irresistible. And complicated. I’ve promised my sisters I wouldn’t mix business with pleasure.
But I’ve never been one to follow the rules.

<strong>About <em>One Funeral (Release Date Sep 29): </em></strong>
<em>The stakes climb higher in this second book in the No Weddings Series for Hannah Martin, a
woman restrained by her past, and Cade Michaelson, the man who could help set her free.</em>
I’m drawn to Cade as he charms his way into more of my life and offers me something I truly haven’t
ever had: a friend. Yet his humor, patience, and drop-dead sexiness take my breath away, and I know my
heart is at risk. I want to move forward but am terrified I can’t.
Cade seems to have it together from his own devastating heartache. His subtle actions, however,
suggest a different story. And even though he says he wants more, I wonder if he’s able to trust in our
developing relationship.
As we navigate through our tangled feelings, we vow to take it slow. Yet no matter how careful we try to
be, things between us intensify—and there’s nothing we can do, or want to do, to stop it.
But the biggest question remains: Is chemistry enough to move beyond the past and toward a future
together?

<strong>About <em>Two Bar Mitzvahs (Release Date Oct 20): </em></strong>
<em>Summer heats up in this third book in the No Weddings Series, where Cade Michaelson strives to
balance his and Hannah Martin’s new relationship with the growing demands of his financial
success.</em>
Waiting for Hannah has been the best and worst kind of torture. Now I can claim her as mine. We
believe we’re done with the past and can move forward together.
Hannah grows stronger than ever as she trusts in me—trusts in us. And when obstacles appear, she
shows a surprising fierceness that rivals my own.
However, all is not perfect in paradise. Things get chaotic while I try to juggle multiple businesses, an ex
from hell, and a girlfriend I’d do anything to keep. And in the middle of the whirlwind, I recklessly think I
can handle everything.
But when all the madness is over, will I have everything I want—will I still have Hannah?

<strong>About <em>Three Christmases (Release Date Nov 17): </em></strong>
<em>As the holiday season approaches in this fourth book in the No Weddings Series, Cade Michaelson
strives to be better at balancing work and love, and Hannah Martin’s growing ability to trust is put to the
test.</em>
Lust and friendship brought us together, but with the increasing demands of my two businesses,
Hannah’s thriving bakery, and our successful event-planning company, stability becomes my focus. Then
a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity takes me to the West Coast, and everything goes into a tailspin.
Laughter, love, and excitement fill our lives, but Cade refuses to settle into the wonderful bliss we’ve
found—he wants spectacular fireworks and an unshakable foundation. Driven like no one I’ve ever met,
Cade insists a dream job across the country will be better for our future together, but I worry about
whether we can survive the present apart.
When intimate time diminishes…and lives get more hectic…
Will a little bit of faith be all that it takes? Or will the sacrifice to get there be too great?

<strong>Exclusive Excerpt: </strong>
<em>T</em><em>hank you for reading and sharing the first exclusive excerpt of No Weddings, where Cade and
Hannah experience a heated moment…</em>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we reached her door, she slammed into it, and with my hand attached to her death grip, I crashed
into her. Breaking free of her hold, I tempered my impact by shooting my arms up onto the doorframe.
She stilled, her key halfway into the lock.
We were pressed against each other in a compromising position, and it struck us both.
I dropped my head down, resting my head against the windowpane, unable to move—only able to
breathe. And her delicate scent wafted up. Tropical. Enticing. I closed my eyes, fighting the urge to stay.
And losing.
She swallowed. I heard it.
I felt her turn around and drop the platter to her side as it brushed my hip. I opened my eyes to find hers
closed as she pressed her soft body up against me.
She inhaled deeply, and her body shuddered.
“Cade, I…” She opened her greenish eyes with those little flecks of gold in them. Uncertainty washed
across her expression.
I exhaled but didn’t move. This was so off-limits. But the fact that I couldn’t have her suddenly made me
want her all the more. “<em>Fuck</em>.” I pulled away. Shook my head.
Cold air flooded between us, breaking the spell we’d both fallen under when we hadn’t been paying
attention. Hannah looked surprised, like she couldn’t believe I’d rejected her like that.
“I can’t, Hannah.”
She nodded furiously, like she agreed. But I could tell as her expression hardened and she turned to slide
the key into the lock with a shaking hand that she struggled with her emotions.
I put my hands on her shoulders, stopping her from pushing in through the now-open door. “Hannah,
it’s not you. Trust me, it’s not. I’m…”
Fighting my attraction had been difficult enough. Knowing she also felt the pull made our working
together dangerous. I needed her help to keep our dealings purely professional.
Her voice trembled. “You want me? You feel it too? I…”
<em>Ah, fuck</em>. Hearing her repeat my thoughts made this excruciating. <em>Figures</em>. The
first girl who challenged my mind, in addition to physically attracting me, would be the one I couldn’t
pursue. Damned “no doing the help” rule.
I exhaled, counting to five. “Yeah, but I…we…can’t. Not only would it be a really bad idea, based on past
experience, I promised my sisters. It’s as good as a sworn blood oath.” I ground out the words, shocked I
could form coherent sentences with my blood flooding much farther south from my brain cells.
I clenched my fists, digging my nails into my palms while I eased back, putting a good couple of feet
between us. In desperation, I vowed to maintain said safe minimum distance at all times.
Slowly, she turned to face me again. Confident, proud, a woman now in charge of herself, body and
mind, Hannah nodded. “I promise too. No matter our attraction, we keep it strictly business.”
I blew out a fast breath through tight lips. “Good. With you and me both working on that, it’ll be a lot
easier.”
A slow smile crept onto her face, a devilish gleam sparking in her eyes. “Oh? You mean if I didn’t play
along, things could get difficult for you?”
My face fell. She wouldn’t. Would she?
She placed a palm on my chest, smiling sweetly. “It’s okay, Cade. I promise not to tease you…too much.”</div>

<em>Book 6 in The Beautiful Series or Standalone</em> All Blake Johnson knows is the life of a Marine.
After serving his country for eight years, he returns to his family for some rest and rehabilitation.
Fighting an internal war, he battles sleepless nights as images of his former military days haunt him.
From the moment Audrey Hampton walks into his life, he is drawn to her. Her beauty leaves him
breathless and weak in the knees. She kindles a spark of hope deep within his soul, igniting a part of
himself he feared was missing. Her never-ending compassion for others opens his heart in a way he
never dreamed. But Audrey is hiding wounds of her own. Returning to Lake Tahoe to care for her ill
mother triggers painful childhood memories of her parents’ loveless marriage, reminding her there is no
such thing as true love. Will Blake’s resolve be powerful enough to open Audrey’s sealed heart? Or will
Audrey fear the past and risk losing the man who could give her life a newfound purpose? Can two
wounded souls become one?

<em>~Audrey~</em>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“What about you?” Blake asked gently.
“I’m home to see my family.” I shifted on my feet, not wanting to go into too much detail either. I
refrained from laughing at observing how we seemed to share that minor detail. “However, I now live in
San Francisco.”
Blake’s dark eyebrow curled, slightly lifting, and his lower lip twitched in amusement. Gosh, he was just
so damn sexy, it was distracting.
“You gave up the country life for the city?” he finally teased.
I let out a laugh at his expression and nodded. “Yeah.”
“How’s that working out for you?”
I tilted my head his way, failing to stifle my humor. “If you ignore all the absurdly confusing highways,
traffic and noise, then it’s not so bad.”
Blake laughed, deep and throatily. The sound sent an undeniable shiver down my spine. I chastised
myself for letting a simple conversation with a man affect me so, as he replied, “That’s a lot to ignore.”
<em>You have no idea,</em> I thought, referring to not being able to deflect his effects on me. I felt my
inner strength wavering.
“It is,” I responded in more ways than one, realizing that I needed to get away from here. Being here
was too much. <em>He </em>was too much. I swallowed deeply before saying, “Well it was a pleasure
to meet you, Blake. But I do have to be going now.” I felt guilty for dismissing myself, so I added, “But
maybe I’ll see you around with the other’s another time?”
His gaze turned speculative, and he parted his lips to speak. But he didn’t. The look he was giving me felt
as though he could see right through me. It was unnerving.
Within seconds, his eyes shifted again, appearing to let me off the hook.
I released a silent sigh, thankful for his respecting my privacy, and not asking for any explanation.
“Since my two brothers are marrying your friends, I would say there is a good chance.” Blake grinned at
last, revealing a sexy dimple at the corner of his mouth.
My eyes were captivated by the faint movement.
<em>Stop thinking about his mouth!</em>
He definitely had a good point, which only made me even more nervous. “I’ll see you later,” I waved
with a pleasant smile and excused myself before my nerves melted into a puddle at his feet.
I quickly found Abbey, Gail and Lily, and then each of their significant others to congratulate them and
say my goodbyes before racing to my car. All the while feeling like I could not breathe, as though I was
being suffocated by thoughts of how breathtakingly handsome Blake was.
After stopping at the store for my mother’s saltine crackers, I sped home, yearning to step through the
front doors, so I could be reminded of all the reasons to stay clear away from that man. All it took was
sixty seconds of seeing how my father treated my mother, and it was a reality slap that love does not
exist.
I would not allow myself to be so effected by a man, and weakened by the idea of having one of my
own. I shook my head. Being around Gail, Abbey, and Lily with their men today had just played tricks on
my mind. Sure, each of my friends had found great, loving men. But it was a risk I would never take a
chance on.
And I would never cave to temptation. It could only lead to a broken heart.

<b>By Amanda McIntyre</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Blurb:</b><br />
A scandalous betrayal sets Miss Jane Goodwin on an unexpected journey to London to pursue her dream of being the first female investigative journalist, but she soon finds herself in a hotbed of murder and controversy. Seduced by the passions of a mysterious lover and stalked by a madman, tensions mount as Jane falls prey to her desires, only to discover a deadly secret that threatens more than just her trust in men.<br />
<br />
Inspector Randolph Mansfield is one of Scotland Yard’s elite, battling the dark secrets of his past while trying to solve a rash of grisly murders threatening to mar Queen Victoria's Jubilee. His respite is the anonymity he finds in the decadence of a private gentleman’s club, until a determined American journalist goes undercover in search of her stalker and he finds the lines between protection and passion blurred. But as tensions heat and her life is threatened, he must choose whether to reveal his true identity at the risk of losing her trust and his career.<br />

My parents believed that women should be independent and
capable. What is your thinking along those lines, Mr. Hampton?” she asked,
purposely goading him.</div>

He emitted a long-suffering sigh. “I do find a capable woman
refreshing, Miss Goodwin. I have no qualms with a woman who wishes to be
independent and, moreover, isn't afraid to speak her mind.”</div>

She slid him a glance. “Indeed, I think your aunt is
correct. You are a charmer.”</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Long Blurb:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anna is planning the perfect wedding, but she doesn’t anticipate her
future mother-in-law’s offer of help’ which translates into take over.
Her groom-to-be avoids her and insists their growing problems are just
‘bridal nerves’. Worst of all, her best friend, Robin, begins to act
strange. Everyone around her has his or her own agenda. What’s a girl to
do when she begins to realize the perfect life she envisioned is all a
lie?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Robin has two great loves in his life: his best friend Anna and his
motorcycle. Not one to make a scene, he supports Anna in her plan to
marry the wrong man and regrets she can’t accept his ‘dare devil’
lifestyle. But when push comes to shove, he’s more than willing to make
the necessary sacrifice and prove he is the man she needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the wedding date grows closer and plans shift into high gear,
Robin and Anna grow closer and not just as friends. Each must decide
what the perfect life truly means while trying to negotiate the maze of
wedding plans, secrets, and hidden motives. Will someone be left singing
the blues?</div>

<b>Excerpt:</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“Chasing you would be a wasted effort.” Robin waved the half eaten slice before he set the crust back in the box.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Anna slammed the lid on his hand. “What do you mean? I’m not worth the chase?”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“Hey,
starving teacher here.” He knocked on the inside of the box and glared
at her. “And don’t be ridiculous. Of course you’re worth a chase, but
even I can recognize a no win situation regardless if I can’t fully give
up on it or you.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“What’s </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>that </i></span><span style="font-size: small;">supposed to mean?” He was hiding something besides his hand in the box. “Robin?”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The
liquid blue fire in his eyes singed her as he spoke. “I didn’t give the
let’s-forget-this-ever-happened-and-just-be-friends speech. I didn’t
stay too afraid to see where our relationship might have gone. No win
situation.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Stunned, she gaped at him. “I thought…but you never said…I mean we’d…”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">He
just stared at her, face unmoving, his chest rising and falling as his
breaths increased. He was, she realized, getting angrier by the second.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">She
swallowed and tried to find words, any words, to defuse the tension. “I
couldn’t bear to think of losing you as my friend. We did the best
thing for us.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“We did the best thing for </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>you</i></span><span style="font-size: small;">.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“But you…you agreed with me. You said you didn’t want to risk our friendship either.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“What
the hell could I say?” He shot to his feet, knocking the pizza box to
the floor. “You didn’t give me a choice. Either be your friend, only
your friend, or leave your life.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“I never said we couldn’t be friends or you had to leave my life.” She whispered the words. Yet it had been close.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“Even
now you won’t face it.” He muttered a curse which shocked her with the
anger behind it. “Will you? You won’t admit maybe we could have</span>—”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“I
faced it the morning after. I’m not an idiot, Robin. When you date a
woman, it’s like your skydiving adventures. You have a thrill, anything
goes, and it’s awesome and you’re on the high of it all. Then you land
and it’s over. You never talk to the woman again, let alone have a
friendship with her. I didn’t want our friendship to be over. I still
don’t. I can’t give more than I am. I can’t.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">“Why,
Anna?” He stopped right in front of her, hands on his hips balled into
fists. “Why can’t you give more? Because of Doug Dufuss?”</span></div>

<b>About the Author:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mia Epsilon lives with her enduring soul mate hubby in the gorgeous Blue
Ridge Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, USA. She’s an avid
reader of almost anything but particularly romance, a
never-miss-an-episode viewer of Doctor Who and Sherlock, and happily

<b>Summary:</b></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
All Beatriz “Bia” Fernandes wants is to prove herself—to her family and friends—though it’s hard to prove anything with an overbearing father and three famous polo-playing older brothers. After her acceptance into college results in a heated family argument, the Brazilian girl leaves everything behind to find her own American dream.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">College life away from home is perfect until the people she believes to be her friends turn on her. With lies and rumors threatening to suffocate her, Bia turns to her only freedom. Riding.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">But one thing gets in the way of her escape. Garrett Blackwell and his bad cowboy attitude. Working at the ranch is his obligation, bugging Bia is his newfound hobby. His thick skin and easy grin don’t hide what Bia already knows—this misunderstood and lonely cowboy fights his own demons. Brushing horses’ coats and mucking out stalls shouldn’t be this sexy, and it isn’t long before he becomes a part of her distraction.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">However, escaping won’t solve her problems, and it’s up to Bia to break down the fences around her and prove her strength—not to her family and friends, but to herself … and for Garrett. Because standing on her own doesn’t have to mean standing alone.</span></span></div>

<div>
<div>
While Juliana Haygert dreams of being Wonder Woman, Buffy, or a blood elf shadow priest, she settles for the less exciting—but equally gratifying—life of a wife, mother, and author. Thousands of miles away from her former home in Brazil, she now resides in Connecticut and spends her days writing about kick-ass heroines and the heroes who drive them crazy.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13px;"><i>Becca Trent lived her childhood next to a cruel woman—her mom—who lived to torment and neglect her. During her high school years, her mother married; bringing home not only a new husband, but a step sister her same age. The latter took over her Mom’s role—making Becca’s life miserable. Including stealing Ian—Becca’s best friend and boyfriend—Lisa treated her worse than her mother had for the previous fifteen years. A couple of years later, things ended up in tragedy.</i></span></div>

Now, she’s trying to figure out how to survive and keep that bond which seems now to be held together by a thread.</i></span></span></div>

1913. Christmas Eve. Ardis hardly expects a quiet holiday with Wendel, between fleeing Constantinople and hiding from an ancient society of assassins. And they owe a debt to a certain archmage.<br />

In Königsberg, Prussia, they work with Konstantin on the next evolution of Project Lazarus. Wendel once called Königsberg home, the city now besieged by the Russians and their clockwork engines of war. This may be Wendel’s last chance to save his family and find redemption, but he's tormented by nightmares and tempted by laudanum. Ardis fears her love isn’t enough to save Wendel. Her hands are full piloting the automatons, and she's terrified to tell him a secret of her own. Will they—and their love—survive the storms of war?<br />

1913. Austria-Hungary. Ardis knows better than to save a man on the battlefield. Even if he manages to be a charming bastard while bleeding out in the snow. She hasn’t survived this long as a mercenary without some common sense.<br />
<br /></div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403364635032_1028939">
When she rescues Wendel, it isn’t because he's devilishly handsome, but because he's a necromancer. His touch can revive the dead, and Ardis worries he will return from the grave to hunt her down. Besides, a necromancer can be useful in this world on the brink of war.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403364635032_1028941">
A gentleman of questionable morals, Wendel drops to one knee and pledges his undying loyalty to Ardis. She resists falling for him, no matter how hot the tension smolders between them. Especially when she discovers Wendel's scars run much deeper than his skin, and it might be too late to truly save him from himself.<br />

<b>Synopsis:</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">Eight years ago, Luke Retter witnessed the brutal murder of his mother and sister at the hands of his demon-possessed father. He survived but lost a hand and an eye. The demon also burned its emblem into his skin, marking him as a cursed. Those who bear this mark are at risk of becoming possessed themselves, so they are monitored and enslaved by the state-run UCIS. Working as a slave is hard, but Luke prefers it to the possibility of being controlled by a demon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">One night, Luke wakes to find his worst nightmare coming true. His father’s demon has returned. In a panic, he runs to the only person who might be able to help: Zack, a cursed who ran away from the state and created an underground community to protect other fugitive curseds. Zack helps him suppress the demon. But the city’s become a time bomb, and Luke’s demon itches to escape.</span></div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;">With the UCIS closing in on Zack’s underground operation and Luke’s demon crafting its own, nefarious plot, Luke realizes that he must take a stand.</span></div>

Devon McCormack spends most of his time hiding in his lair, adventuring in paranormal worlds with his island of misfit characters. A good ole Southern boy, McCormack grew up in the Georgian suburbs with his two younger brothers and an older sister. At a very young age, he spun tales the old fashioned way, lying to anyone and everyone he encountered. He claimed he was an orphan. He claimed to be a king from another planet. He claimed to have supernatural powers. He has since harnessed this penchant for tall tales by crafting whole worlds where he can live out whatever fantasy he chooses.<br /><br />A gay man himself, McCormack focuses on gay male characters, adding to the immense body of literature that chooses to represent and advocate gay men's presence in media. His body of work ranges from erotica to young adult, so readers should check the synopses of his books before purchasing so that they know what they're getting into.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sarah Daltry writes about the regular people who populate our lives. She’s written works in various genres – romance, erotica, fantasy, horror. Genre isn’t as important as telling a story about people and how their lives unfold. Sarah tends to focus on YA/NA characters but she’s been known to shake it up. Most of her stories are about relationships – romantic, familial, friendly – because love and empathy are the foundation of life. It doesn’t matter if the story is set in contemporary NY, historical Britain, or a fantasy world in the future – human beings are most interesting in the ways they interact with others. This is the principle behind all of Sarah’s stories.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sarah has spent most of her life in school, from her BA and MA in English and writing to teaching both at the high school and college level. She also loves studying art history and really anything because learning is fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When Sarah isn’t writing, she tends to waste a lot of time checking Facebook for pictures of cats, shooting virtual zombies, and simply staring out the window.</div>

Some say love is deadly. Some say love is beautiful. I<span style="font-size: 16px;">say it is both. </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">Faith Watters spent her junior year traveling the w</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">orld, studying in exquisite places, </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">before returning to Oviedo High School. From the ou</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">tside her life is picture-perfect. </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">Captain of the dance team. Popular. Happy. Too bad </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">it’s all a lie. </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">It will haunt me. It will claim me. It will shatter </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">me. And I don't care. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">Eighteen-year-old Diego Alvarez hates his new life </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">in the States, but staying in Cuba </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">is not an option. Covered in tattoos and scars, Die</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">go doesn’t stand a chance of fitting </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">in. Nor does he want to. His only concern is stayin</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">g hidden from his past—a past, </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">which if it were to surface, would cost him everyth</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">ing. Including his life. </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">At Oviedo High School, it seems that Faith Watters </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">and Diego Alvarez do not belong </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">together. But fate is as tricky as it is lovely. Fr</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">eedom with no restraint is what they </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">long for. What they get is something different enti</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">rely. </span></div>
