THE PRICKLY CHRISTMAS KISS

by #1 International Bestselling Author Allyson R. Abbott

Emma Louise Fallon, aka Elf, has two wishes for Christmas. Having spent the last few months bragging about her latest boyfriend, who's turned out to be a womanizing cheat, one, she needs to escape her well-meaning family, and, two, she needs to avoid all men while she's in a man-hating mode.

But stranded in a cold isolated cabin, when her girlfriend is forced to bail out on their vacation plans, Elf makes one more desperate wish: Can she please learn how to build a fire before she freezes to death?

The solo rustic life is becoming all too much for her. She's convinced that a stray cat, who has decided to keep her company, has magical powers, that the local shop owners are secretly Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and nothing can stop her from laughing when the hot local Martian -come cop - come veterinarian - introduces himself as Rudi.

Will Elf need to break her rule about staying away from men, and rely on this hunk for helping her start a fire? Or, worse, yet, will she be able to control the fire that Rudi's ignited in her.

Review

Seriously this book was a terrific read, full of laughs, fun and romance ...... oh and a weird cat.

First of all, the characters were amazing, from Rudi (yes at times with the red nose) and Elf (even if only her initials) to Mr & Mrs C at the store. Best of all, the town is Poleton & North Poleton ...... and the damn cat name Sue (aka SLH or Santas Little Helper) depending on who you ask.

They worked together the keep you guessing, laughing, and entertained through the whole story. The comedy of mishaps that took place make the story even more entertaining as it seems like everything that can go wrong, did.

So if you are looking for a fun, laugh filled read that takes place at Christmas, this is one for you!!

TWO HEARTS' CHRISTMAS WISH

(TWO HEARTS WOUNDED WARRIOR ROMANCE BOOK 4)

by Multi Award-Winning, #1 International Bestselling

Author Tamara Ferguson

Seventeen-year-old Jason Matthews made a wish when he'd shared a kiss with Katherine Conlin under the mistletoe at Dragonfly Pointe, fourteen years ago.

Now an Air Force Captain and wounded warrior, he awakens in the hospital in Germany, where his dreams have been invaded by the girl from his past.

Once he returns home to the states, Jason discovers that approaching Kat might be a little more difficult than he'd thought, since she's been in a long term relationship for nearly two years.

But another year later, when Jason learns Kat is on her way to the Dragonfly Pointe Inn for the Christmas holidays, without her boyfriend, he seizes the chance to be reacquainted.

Kat had been expecting a proposal this Christmas, and when her boyfriend backs out, yet again, on the carefully laid plans that she's made for them, Kat realizes she probably wouldn't be happy with him anyway.

Kat has often wondered what happened to Jason Matthews, the boy she'd made a wish with years ago, and the last thing she expects is to run into him again at the Dragonfly Pointe Inn.

Will there still be that special Christmas magic between them, to make those long ago wishes come true?

Review

This is a second chance romance as well as a Military romance as well. First of all, I love a good second chance romance. When your heart won't let you move on from someone and you get that chance to see them again, it can be a VERY good thing!!

Jason is a wounded vet at home recovering and yet still pining for that one woman from back in the day. However, when she is no longer in that committed relationship, will he finally get the nerve to make a move and admit to his feelings??

Kat is a young woman that has been in love with that one person for far longer than she would care to admit. She has put on a brave face and tried to move forward with her life, however sometimes Fate doesn't let that happen.

This is a fantastic, quick Christmas love story that will make your heart happy and fill with joy!!

Vanishing Dreams (Devil's Bend #2) by Nicole Edwards Cover Reveal

Vanishing Dreams (Devil's Bend #2)

Coming: October 21, 2014

Dalton Calhoun hadn’t always planned on a life up on the big stage, beneath the bright lights, but that was where he found himself. A second chance of sorts. An opportunity that had come along after his real dreams vanished when he was eighteen years old. Although country music was more than he could’ve expected, he’d never dismissed the notion that there was still something missing. 

When Dalton followed his buddy Cooper Krenshaw to Devil’s Bend, Texas, it didn’t take long before Dalton realized just what that was. But just because he has topped the country music charts, and made his fair share of women swoon, doesn’t mean that everything comes easy to him. And when he sets his sights on the black-haired, gray-eyed waitress at The Rusty Nail, Dalton realizes he might just have to work for what he wants. 

Katie Clarren’s life has been a series of unfortunate events, starting from the time her mother left on her eighteenth birthday. Not exactly how she had planned to spend one of the major turning points in her young life. Nor had she planned to spend the next five years dealing with the fallout. Somewhere along the way, Katie adapted, doing exactly what she needed to do in order to survive. But Katie has secrets that even her closest friends don’t know. Secrets she has worked hard to protect. 

Although she longs for handsome, charming, country music sensation, Dalton Calhoun, she knows that anything that starts between them can’t last. Too bad her heart doesn’t seem to be on the same page. Katie gives in to her love for Dalton, needing that human connection that has been missing for so long. But when it comes time to make the hard decisions, Katie forces herself to walk away from him. To protect her secrets, and him. The last thing she wants to do is hurt Dalton, no matter how much pain she has to endure in the process. She loves him. 

Can the two of them overcome the secrets and lies? Can they look to the future and stop living in the past? Or will they keep dwelling on the dreams that vanished, not seeing what is right in front of them? Each other.

Second Chances by P.J. Fiala Release Day Blitz

After a nearly 30 year marriage to a man suffering from depression, Samantha Powell has decided a nice quiet, drama-free life is for her. She has demons to combat and self-esteem issues to overcome. She has decided to sell her house and find a nice little condo that places virtually no maintenance demands on her and allows her to work on herself for a while.

Grayson Kinkaide has waited his whole life, all 55 years of it, looking for his soul mate, the other half of himself. He suffered through an awful marriage with a manipulative, selfish woman who almost brought him to his knees. The only things that kept him strong were his children and his growing business.

When Gray meets Sam both of their lives are changed drastically. Sam’s dream of a drama-free life is jerked from her grasp as Gray’s exes do everything in their power to tear them apart. Gray finds himself having to fight, hard, to convince Sam they are meant to be together.

AMAZON (eBook) / AMAZON (PAPERBACK) / BARNES & NOBLE / ARCHWAY PUBLISHING

…Just then, Mrs. Koepple said, “Mr. Kinkaide, she really is a wonderful person. Don’t let this chance pass you by.”

She said it with a wink at him and he smiled a little bigger.

Sam couldn't imagine any woman could resist that smile. Grayson told Mrs. Koepple, “I promise you I will make every effort to not let the opportunity pass me by.” Sam’s eyes were huge as she gaped at the three of them, mouth ajar. Jessie giggled and Sam looked at her with that same look on her face.

Jessie’s smile was huge. She winked at Sam and said, “That Mrs. Koepple sure knows how to make an exit.”

As Grayson turned to walk back into the room, Bill Chase walked into the room from behind Sam. He saw Grayson helping Mrs. Koepple and Alfred out the door and smiled.

“I see you met Mrs. Koepple and Alfred. They’re a cute couple, aren't they?”

Grayson smiled again. Oh my God, that smile! He nodded at Bill, then looked at Sam. His eyes were so beautiful—dark like black coffee with thick lashes surrounding them. A sigh escaped Sam and Bill gave her a sideways glance. She blushed again and said a mental Crap.

Bill walked forward and shook hands with Grayson and Jackson. Sam was rooted to the spot just watching them, him.

Bill said, “Gray, it’s about time I got you to come to me for legal assistance. I was beginning to wonder if I could ever talk you into it.”

Grayson smiled and looked at Jackson, who was smiling as well.

Jackson finally spoke up and said, “Well, Grandpa was really insistent that we use his attorney over the years, but now that he’s retiring, we felt we could make the move.”

Grayson and Bill talked like they were friends. Finally, Bill turned and started leading the way to the conference room, which was a cue to stop gaping and go back to work. Sam looked over at Jessie, who had a huge grin on her face.

Sam shook her head and started to turn and walk back to her office when Grayson said, “Sam, may I have a word with you?”

Sam froze in her tracks, took a deep breath, and slowly turned back around to face him. Bill looked first at Grayson and at Sam with a furrow in his brow.

“Is there anything wrong, Gray?”

Jackson put his hand on Bill’s shoulder and chuckled as he said, “I’ll fill you in on our interesting morning.”

Bill and Jackson continued walking to the conference room.

Sam was a bit at a loss as to what to say or do when Grayson spoke and said, “Is there somewhere we can speak in private?”

Sam opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

After clearing her throat, she tried again, putting a smile on her face. “Sure, we can go into the small conference room.”

Sam walked the few steps to the small conference room, turned the light on, and walked in. Grayson, behind her, walked through the door and closed it. Sam heard the latch click and turned around to face him. With the door closed, she could smell him. Oh, he smelled so good. Wasn't there anything wrong with this man?

He smiled and stood staring at her for a little while.

Sam was getting nervous at the silence and blurted out, “I’m sorry about Mrs. Koepple, I hope she didn't embarrass you or make you feel obligated to…”

Gray cut Sam off, a smile on his face, and said, “I think you were the one that was embarrassed, and if you don’t mind me pointing out, I thought you were adorable.”

Sam’s eyes flashed up to Gray and she looked at him with brows furrowed and said, “Adorable?”

He chuckled and began, “The reason I wanted to speak with you privately is that I noticed how embarrassed you were and didn't want to continue to put you on the spot. But, I would like to invite you to dinner. Would you have dinner with me this evening?”

Sam was stunned, but didn't want him to think he had to ask her out.

“Please don’t feel obligated to ask me out because of Mrs. Koepple. It really isn't necessary.”

Gray smiled and said, “I don’t feel obligated at all. I would love to have dinner with you. We both have to eat, and it would be nice to get to know you a little better. What do you say?”

Speechless…that was the only word to use. She was being asked out on a date by this gorgeous man. What would they talk about? What would they say? How could she eat in front of him and not make a fool out of herself? Sam didn't feel like a very interesting person. She just lived a quiet life and didn't do much else. She used to live a different life, but once Tim got sick, she had holed up in her house and did little else except motorcycling. That was the one thing Tim continued to do, even when he was feeling his worst.

Gray’s smiled widened and he cocked his head to the side a little, at the same time raising an eyebrow, waiting for Sam to respond.

Taking a shaky breath, she said, “I would like that very much.”

God, he had a beautiful smile.

He smiled again and added, “Excellent.” He pulled his phone out of his pocket and asked Sam for her phone number so he could enter it into his phone. Sam’s phone was sitting on her desk.

Gray handed her his business card. “Put my number into your phone as soon as you get back to your desk.”

Gray smiled again and said, “I’ll pick you up at seven tonight. Once you have my phone number in your phone, please text me your address.”

Sam’s mind was reeling. A date! She hadn't been on a date in forever. She was shaking and her mind seemed to be working very slowly as it was trying to process this new information. Oh my God, a date!..

I was born in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri named Bridgeton. During my time in Missouri, I explored the Ozarks, swam in the Mississippi River, played kickball and endless games of hide and seek with the neighborhood kids. Spending summers in Kentucky with my Grandmother, Ruth, are the fondest childhood memories for me.

At the age of thirteen, my family moved to Wisconsin to learn to farm. Yes, learn to farm! That was interesting. Taking city kids and throwing them on a farm with twenty-eight cows purchased from the Humane Society because they had been abused, was interesting. I learned to milk cows, the ins and outs of a breeding schedule, feeding schedule and the never ending haying in the summer and trying to stay warm in the winter. Our first winter in Wisconsin, we had thirty-six inches of snow in one storm and were snowed in our house for three days! Needless to say, I wasn't loving Wisconsin.

I am now married with four children and two grandchildren and a new one on the way this summer. I have learned to love Wisconsin, though I still hate snow. Wisconsin and the United States are beautiful and my husband and I travel around by motorcycle seeing new sites and meeting new people. It never ceases to amaze me how many people are interested in where we are going and what we have seen along the way. At every gas station, restaurant and hotel, we have people come up to us and ask us about what we are doing and offering advice on which roads in the area are better than others and great rides others have been on if we are interested.

I come from a family of veterans. My grandfather, father, brother and two of my sons and one daughter-in-law are all veterans. Needless to say, I am proud. Proud to be an American and proud of the service my amazing family has given.

Hi, Sweetie. You sounded downright chipper yesterday talking about your own agency. I'm so glad you have something positive to focus on aside from how lucky you are to have me as a best friend. Oh, and your wedding to Ethan. 

So Nick and I have become obsessed with Inside the Actor's Studio. Even though I hate celebrities, I can't seem to tear myself away from this series. My fav part is the James Lipton questions at the end. So much so, that I've put together my responses for when being as hot and fabulous as I am merits inclusion as a guest on the show. Want to play along?

I'm not surprised that Nick likes the show. He's totally star struck. He is constantly asking me about any celebrities I've worked with and when we saw that actress from The Good Wife, he was giddy. The questionnaire sounds fun. Send the questions over.

He is pretty star struck. It's actually quite sexy. He likes to pretend that I'm a famous actress and he's a fan. But that's a story for another time. Okay, here are the James Lipton questions...

• What is your favorite word? 

• What is your least favorite word? 

• What turns you on? 

• What turns you off? 

• What sound or noise do you love? 

• What sound or noise do you hate? 

• What is your favorite curse word?

Subject: Re: James Lipton Questionnaire

Okay. Here goes… 

• What is your favorite word? Thank you. Okay, it's two words but one phrase that I feel like no one says anymore. As you know, manners are very important to me.

• What is your least favorite word? It’s a tie between “moist” and “panties” with extra "fingernails-down-

the-blackboard-style chills" when the two words are used together. <shudder> 

• What turns you on? Humor. That's probably why I'm head over heels in love with Jon Stewart...oh and Ethan too. ;)

• What turns you off? Petty squabbles. The world has enough problems without arguing and fretting over inconsequential stuff. 

• What sound or noise do you love? My sweet angel, Siobhan, in fits of giggles. And believe me, no one gets her laughing it up like Auntie Renee.

• What sound or noise do you hate? Airplanes taking off. Fatal accidents are more likely to occur during 

the climbing stage of flight and that sound of the engines revving up just fuh-reaks me out! 

• What is your favorite curse word? Mother#@$%er! Enough said! 

• What profession other than your own would like to attempt? Professional cake decorator. It looks so fun and yummy.

• What profession would you not like to do? Accountant. As you know my checkbook rarely balances. 

• If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? I know Jews don't believe in heaven, but we're happy to have you here, the cupcakes are calorie-free and your hair looks great.
