Joanne Lawson tricks her way into a secretarial job with widowed flautist Mark Jenson, little realising the tangle of intrigue she’s walking into. She has her reasons for being less than honest, but Mark has a few dark secrets of his own.

When a fan letter apparently from Mark's dead wife targets Joanne, she realises there is more at stake than being caught in a lie.

Amidst romantic flute music and stormy Cotswold weather, Joanne sets out to uncover the truth. Who is sending the letters from beyond the grave? How can she win Mark’s trust when she lied her way into his life and home?

And is she really falling in love with him, after promising herself she was done with men?

Danica Snow has always been the smart, practical, and appropriate sister.   As a therapist, she prides herself on making reasonable, conservative choices, even if a bit boring, and as part of the Big Sister Program, she has little time for anything more in her life.

Blake Carter is a player. He never gets bored of conquering women, and with his sexy good looks and successful lifestyle, he has no trouble finding willing participants. When his friend and business partner dies in a tragic accident, he suddenly, desperately, wants to change his ways. The problem is, he doesn’t know how to stop doing what he does best.

When Blake walks into Danica’s office, the attraction between them is white hot, but Danica isn't the type to give into the heat and risk her career. Danica’s desire sets her on a path of self-discovery, where she begins to question every decision she’s ever made. Just this once, Danica wants to indulge in the pleasures of life she’s been so willingly ignoring, but with her Little Sister in turmoil and her biological sister’s promiscuousness weighing heavily on her heart, she isn’t sure it’s the right time to set her desires free.

SISTERS IN LOVE is a light, uplifting work of women's fiction and will resonate with readers who enjoy emotional journeys of the heart with strong heroines and sexy, lovable heroes. Readers of books by Jane Porter and Beth Kendrick will enjoy Danica and Blake's story.

Read an Excerpt

 

~~~~~

 

Definitely a change of storyline from the usual romance, Boy Meets Girl, Boy and Girl Fall, Tragedy Strikes, Boy and Girl Get Back Together, and all is good with the world.

 

SISTERS IN LOVE is more of a growing process for Danica, our heroine, and Blake, our hero (who has A LOT of growing and changing within these pages).  I didn't think I would like Blake in the beginning, I mean, sexy...yes, handsome...YES, Quickies in the bathroom.....MEH (I am not opposed to the hero of books being with other women in the beginning, but I like him to change his ways fairly quickly), Blake had a LOT of soul searching to do throughout, and I will say that by the end, I LOVED HIM.

 

Danica on the other hand was...wow....can we say slightly uptight...but that goes with being the older sister and a Therapist...I don't see how she could have been anything else.  Always looking out for her younger sister Kaylie, the promiscuous one, who had a lady case of the "Cock Block", don't know what you call it when another lady blocks you from a sexy man.

 

The best part about the book, other than getting to see Danica and Blake get to know each other was, Danica's growth throughout.  I think she learned to let things be, and learned that she couldn't control every aspect of everything.  I liked watching her loosen up a bit, and "let her hair down". 

 

I am curious to know what will happen with sister, Kaylie, in her book LOVE IN BLOOM, so I will definitely be reading that, and the SNOW SISTERS Series continues with Three More Books after these two. 

 

A definite read if you are a fan of Women's Fiction, but remember, this is NOT your typical romance...so be warned...you might want to slap the hero a time or two, but it will be worth it!

 

Happy Reading!

The first novella in a thrilling, pulse-racing new erotic romance series, Indecent Proposals. Three best friends, Shey, Eloisa and Georgia take on the most powerful and eligible men of the New York dating scene.

Perfect for fans of bestselling erotic romance authors Sylvia Day and E.L. James!

'I'm not coming over.' Shey replied confidently.
'Then maybe you could return the favor now.'
Wait, he didn't mean...
'Slide your hand beneath your panties and tell me how ready you are for me.'
Oh my god, he did.

Single Manhattanite Shey Lopez doesn't do one night stands, or have relationships she can't control. Especially if giving in to playboy Calvin Jones means losing her heart in the process.

However, Mr Won't-Take-No-For-An-Answer always gets what he wants and there's only so many times a girl can resist such an enticing proposal...

~~~~~

 



I would like to start off by saying....OH MY!!  Ms. Duffy...How naughty you are....hee hee.  I am kidding, it's only a little kinky...and it's tasteful and sexy all wrapped in a whole lotta sexual tension and lust!

 

Shey and Calvin are such a hot couple...the sting of awareness hit them both at first sight and for Calvin who is used to getting what he wants...well...let's just say, the fun is in the chase...and it is even more fun when you get what you want...but I think Shey and Calvin both get more than they ever bargained for, and so much more than they ever thought they needed/or wanted.

 

Not only was this romance HOT and SPICY (but what else can you expect from the Master who is Ms. Duffy), but you get a heartfelt romance, and two lost souls finding one another when neither knew they were looking.  I love these kind of romances, where the love builds and then slaps you across the face...and the hero and heroine don't know what to do with all these feelings that aren't supposed to be there.  When "JUST A GOOD TIME" turns to "FOREVER KIND OF LOVE"....Swoon....and Cal....he is a True Hero...and a good guy.

 

I am so excited to see where Aimee takes this series...we will see!!  Maybe some Hanky Panky in the House of Mirrors...Huh Aimee....Maybe??  (XOXO)

About Aimee

About me (snooze—can you tell I hate the me stuff? Lol)

For as long as I can remember, I've had a good book in my hands. In primary school I loved Roald Dahl. In high school my English teacher introduced me to Charles Dickens, Stephen King, Jane Austin, Emily Bronte, and Shakespeare. It was then that I discovered my love for romance and I've wanted to pen my own imaginary heroes and heroines for others to enjoy ever since. Only in the last few years was I lucky enough to meet some fabulous and encouraging people to help me gain the skills to make that dream possible.

I live in sunny Scotland in a small town near the Ochils and work nine to five in a solicitors office. In my free time, you'll find me on Facebook, stalking *cough* following friends on Twitter, and may even catch me shoe shopping.

To us, first responders are heroes. But for them, risking their lives is a normal, everyday thing.

Mudflap:

Born the baby of the family, Mudflap has always had something to prove to emerge out of the shadows of his older siblings. He spent eight years as a Special Ops elite sniper and is now a firefighter. But at his heart, he’s just a normal West Texas good old boy who loves his beer, women and football, until the Department of Defense calls him up to say they need his skills again.

Shanae:

Shanae is a first responder of a different sort. She’s a trauma nurse who works on a medical evacuation helicopter team. But while she lives a life full of adrenaline every day, it’s just a cover for her real life, where she hides in the shadows and is secret agent, Shadowfox for the Lubbock Foxtrot Team (LiFT). She’s living the kind of life that most people think exists only in movies and books.

Working for two different branches of the government, Mudflap and Shanae are in a race against time and the terrorists who threaten the very heart of West Texas life, football. They’re working toward the same goal, but find themselves in a confrontation against each other and the lies they’ve each had to hide behind. Can love win out in the end or will the cost be each other and their very lives?

First responders are heroes every day, but this story tells the tale of when they become even more and find love along the way. The key is for them to stay alive so that they can complete their mission and just maybe live happily ever after.

On an ordinary day, they save lives. On an extraordinary day, they save the country.

AMAZON / SMASHWORDS

Inspired by Grimm’s fairy tales, Lex Keating takes a contemporary, quirky twist on the old legend of The Seven Swans, removing the magic, and adding memorable characters.

Once upon a time – better known as “now” - Gabriel Pritz reigns as king of his high school. Easy grades, perfect baseball season, a pretty date for prom—he's coasting into a golden future. Until his parents demand he cook dinner once a week. Caught between kitchen fires and ballpark withdrawal, Gabe is thrown into Tam Swann's orbit. Hostile, friendless, and stubborn, she's exactly the sort of person he'd prefer to avoid.

Tam's sphere of influence expands beyond Gabe's sad domestic skills, rapidly invading everything from his favorite game to parts of his soul he didn't know existed. It's uncomfortable, it's hard work, it's...making him a better man. And that's just what she does to people she doesn't like. The better he gets to know her, the more he has to face the truth: this sharp, heart-breaking outcast is worth fighting for. How many families, fairy tales, and felons will he go through to ride to the rescue of the bravest person he's ever met?

~~~~~

 

A sweet YA Romance that will have you taking a good look at your life and thanking the Lord that you have what you have, and wishing there was more that you could do for those children who have no one. 

 

THE SILENT SWAN is from the Point of View of Gabe, high school senior (I think), with a loving family, four brothers and a crush on popular girl, Kerry (Steve, you have to read to understand).  Your basic H.S. Jock, but is he?  Is there more to Gabe than comes across, or is it Tam, our heroine, who brings out the best in Gabe, a Gabe he never knew he could be. 

 

Tam, is the oldest sister of six brothers, whom are all in foster care, and she is trying to get them under her guardianship, which is why she works her butt off, attends school, and does anything she can to spend time with her brothers.  She is strong, noble, and tough to the bone, but she is also fragile in a way that not many get to see.

 

This story is inspiring, and a lovely story about Family, and what it means to BE a family.

Meet the Renegades in RECKLESS by Skye Jordan

Reckless
Renegades #1
Skye Jordan
Released August 23rd, 2013
Cygnet Books
Ebook
Gifted by: NetGalley
Reviewed by: Lisa
Amazon | Smashwords
All Romance ebooks | Kobo

Firstly, I will say that Skye Jordan has become a NEW Favorite of mine, and I will be devouring her releases like CANDY!!

That being said...Helloooooooooooooooooo sexy Stuntmen!  Bring it on!!

A couture wedding dress designer to the rich and famous, Lexi LaCroix’s image means everything. But crossing paths with a sexier-than-sin, bad-boy biker makes Lexi realize how much living she’s sacrificed for her success and one touch is all it takes to threaten her carefully choreographed life. When that touch fills far more than just Lexi’s physical needs, she finds herself torn between the career she needs and the bad-boy she craves.

Jax Chamberlin gave up the superficial life of acting for the thrill of running his own stunt company years ago. But a recent betrayal proves he’s still too close to the limelight to find a woman who doesn’t plan to use him as a stepping-stone to success. When the charming and mysterious Lexi offers him a totally anonymous hook-up during an out of town trip, Jax accepts. Only Lexi is more sextacular than charming, and Jax wants more.

But Lexi’s got a major hang-up over his renegade lifestyle, and Jax isn’t willing to change his ways. Especially not when he discovers who she really is. Because if she finds out his connections could catapult her to the top of her career, he’s afraid the fantasy woman he’s falling for might just end up like all the other gold-diggers. And this time, it’s not just his bad-boy reputation at risk, but his heart, too.

RECKLESS was So much more than what I was expecting!  I thought, ok, another tattooed guy and a goody goody chick...I'll check it out...I was SOOO WRONG!  I LOVED RECKLESS!  It was sexy and steamy, and heartwarming and romantic, all wrapped up in a bundle of sexy as all get out, Jax Chamberlin. (WHOA)

From the first page I was addicted to Jax, he was sexy, tough, confidant, a little insecure, and a touch of bad-ass, oh, and he has some VERY hot friends (Wes, and he BETTER be the hero of book two). 

So... Jax and Lexi see each other outside the airport, it is like a magnetic pull, but doesn't go anywhere from there, until Lexi...using some special devices, has a little Sexting Fun with Mr. Jax....and from that moment until they are in New York....whoa...Talk about sexual tension...and then they meet and they both lose their minds to the passion between them, without even seeing each other mind you....Talk about bringing up the steam factor. 

From there, Lexi decides she needs to worry about her career, and yes, for a talented lady trying to become a HUGE name, I would want to keep my reputation solid, BUT, Jax was so stinking cute and they had such a connection, so I kinda wanted to smack her a bit, BUT, I liked her, and I understood he goals and the connections she was looking to build, so I gave her a bit of a break.  Plus...she made it up to Sexy Jax!!

Ok, so I won't go on and on, but I will say that RECKLESS is a MUST READ!!!  And Keep Skye Jordan on your Wish List, Pre-Buy List, Must Buy List...or whatever you call it, cause she is a Dynamite New Author, Kickin butt and takin names!!

Lisa works for a top South African magazine as the make-up artist, but writes articles on the quiet. When the chief editor, Daniel, asks for her help in posing as his ex-fiancée to save face with his family, Lisa agrees, hoping to obtain a promotion in return. She doesn’t expect to fall for the handsome editor nor to fit in with his family who love her unconditionally. But Lisa has more secrets, and she doesn’t believe in love and family. After Daniel finds out her secrets, will his forgiveness and determination be enough to cut through all the layers Lisa has put over her heart?

Excerpt

It was Thursday, the 30th December, and Dan was rounding off some edits on an article for the February magazine. Kate, the feature editor, needed to come up with something more unique next time. It was too late to change the piece now — okay, maybe he was too tired to bother, and he had the next week to get through. He would worry about her story once the reunion was over.



Lisa still hadn’t had her hairdo. Would they have to lie about her drastically changing her hairstyle to outdated and unsuitable?



He sighed. She was proving to be quite interesting though. He’d rummaged through the bag of presents she’d wrapped and left in his office this afternoon before she knocked off. They were beautifully decorated with ribbons and cards, written neatly in her curly handwriting style. He’d opened the one card and read it, astounded at how she’d written the verse to a poem before a quick “happy Christmas” wish. The woman was into detail. Maybe his family would approve for once. They’d have to get used to the idea that the relationship would end eventually though.



Someone knocked on his office door. Lisa, at last.



“Come in. I thought you were finished work hours ago.”



She smiled at him and then propped her hands on her hips. “So?” She gave a sigh — loud and raspy. “Typical male!”



He gasped. “You had it done finally. Looks great!” Looks more than great. Wow, transformation.



“Thanks.” Her smile was genuine and soft. That was the first time he caught a glimpse into the real Lisa. Maybe she was starting to thaw. Finally.



“Come here.”



“Why?”



“Just listen.”



“Okay.”



“No, don’t get that employee-boss look in your eyes. Try to relax and pretend that we actually belong together.” He took her by her stiff shoulders and pulled her into a hug.



“It’s like hugging a statue,” he whispered into her ear. Her soft hair brushed against his tongue. He pulled the strands away gently with his finger and accidentally touched her cheek with his lip.



She stepped out of his grasp. “I don’t know if I can do this.”



She craned her neck around frantically at the doorway.



“Everyone’s gone home.”



“So?”



“You love that word.”



She giggled.



“Okay, if not a hug, let’s try a kiss.”



Her eyes were wild.



“Have you ever been kissed before?”



She nodded numbly.



“Too bad. You have to grin and bear it. I can’t be that bad.” He reached for her hands, pulled her close and pressed his lips to hers. Sweetness flooded his being, spearing right into his inner core. What was inside this girl’s being that surged into his?



Even though her lips were unresponsive, he kissed her further. Then he pressed her chest against his. For a moment she stiffened, and then she relaxed, obviously realising there was no way out and she had to play along with it. But he wasn’t playing anymore. This was for real. He wouldn’t tell her that though. That would make her run a mile.



She pulled away and turned around, wiping her mouth with her hands.



“Not bad,” he teased.



“I’d better get going now. I’ll see you in the morning.” Her voice was shivery.



“Have you packed yet?”



She nodded, her back to him still.



“See you then.”



She was out the door without showing her face once. The back of her head was gorgeous. That hairdo did something to her whole demeanour. If only it would warm her up to him a little.

Meet Kathy

Kathy loved reading and writing from early childhood, but her dream to write books was put aside until her kids were small, and she had little mental stimulation. The writing became a passion as well as her love for romance. She hasn’t looked back since writing her first romance novel in 2007. She homeschools her three children so in between deciphering algebraic problems for her teenage son (with little success), conducting science experiments, and tackling piles of laundry and dishes, she miraculously finds time to write books and read many others for fun.
