 Do you enjoy books which make you laugh? Yes! A resounding Yes! Now this isn't talking about joke books or books which are silly. But books which feature strong characters, amazing story lines and unconventional situations. Those are the books which tug my interest. I love books which make me unable to stop reading but when an author adds in situations which make me laugh out loud, I fall in love! Celia Mulder's latest release, Celebrity Spin Doctor does that! Her heroine has some unfortunate accidents along the way to keep her clients safe from harsh gossip. When one of the clients is implicated in a kidnapping, she grabs her purse and tags along to keep everyone safe. Hilarity ensues! I couldn't stop reading until the very last word. Now you can grab the book and find out for yourself. Blurb: Remember when country star, Christy-Anne, had the leaked sex tape? No one else does either. All thanks to Lucille Anton, undercover PR agent for troublesome celebrities. They screw up, she covers up. Business is good and Lucille’s good at it. But all that changes when international superstar Michel Polce approaches her with the toughest case of her career—his fiancée is trying to kill him and he doesn’t want anyone to know. Brett Jacobs is at rock bottom of, well, everything. But he pulls himself out of his grimy apartment to attend a party with his former best friend, Michel Polce. Little does he know he’s about to be introduced to the most fascinating, unattainable woman he’s ever met in his life. And the only way to get close to her is to convince her, and himself, to help Michel. The mission is clear—find the fiancée, tell her to stop trying to kill Michel, and make sure no one knows. But with an ex-boyfriend popping up at inconvenient moments, a fugitive uncle who can’t stay away, and some ill-timed sexacapades, this ordeal is more than any of them bargained for. EXCERPT: The plane jerked and he fell backwards into Lucille’s lap. Lucille woke up with a shriek, just as Brett covered her mouth with his uninjured hand. She glared at him and nipped his palm. “That’s not going to work on me, sweetheart. I have sisters,” Brett said. He felt Lucille close her mouth, her lips barely touching him. He lowered his hand. “Get off me,” she growl-whispered. “In a moment. I’m not very steady yet.” Actually, he couldn’t feel his legs. He knew they were there because he could see them, but they weren’t responding to his brain. “Where are we?” “You’re really heavy. I can’t feel my legs.” Lucille gave him a push. “Me neither. Scoot over, this is a huge seat.” Brett nudged her to the right side and maneuvered his own body between her and the armrest, his left arm on top. They ended up half lying next to each other, with Brett’s injured arm between them, like lovers in a hospital bed. “Why am I doing this?” Lucille asked him. “Because neither of our legs are working.” “Hmm. The feeling’s coming back to mine.” Brett felt her move her legs experimentally. She grimaced at the sting of renewed circulation. His legs felt fine already but he wasn’t going to mention that. Or move just yet. “What the fuck were you doing?” she asked him. They were so close together he could feel her breath on his face when she talked. “I was trying to punch Michel in the face.” Lucille nodded a little. “Any particular reason?” “This time? For kidnapping me and putting me on a plane in the middle of the night. Plus, the whole me-nearly-getting-murdered-in-his-house thing.” Pick Up Your Own Copy And Laugh Through the Night! |

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
There really wasn’t any other path. Grea Warner knew from a young age that she wanted to write. She was born to write. First it was in diaries with little metal keys and in written tales that she slipped to friends in study hall. School newspapers, a college television drama, and internships in the soap opera world were next. After producing and writing a local show, she decided to delve into the world of the novelist. When her fingers aren’t tapping out her latest book filled with angst and romance, Grea can be found hiking the trails or jamming to her favorite country artists on the radio.

There is something exciting about traveling to an exotic location. But when you add in the danger of wild animals and losing your heart, the story's interest peaks!
Take My African Craving for example. It was written by someone who knows a great deal about Africa. She lives there. She said she enjoys nothing more than going on a safari with her kids and Audrey spent some time a few months ago doing just that.
But you don't have to take our word for it... pick up your own copy and see for yourself.
Blurb:
The Nights are Hotter in Africa…
When Erica Knight arrives in Lebombo Game Reserve for her first African safari she has no idea that her life is about to be changed forever. As an executive for a mining company she believes that negotiating the mining rights for the Lebombo Reserve will be a slam-dunk, but she didn’t count on locking horns with the reserve’s enigmatic owner, Jean-Luc de Graaf.
In the heart of a wild African landscape full of beauty and danger, Erica and Jean-Luc both stubborn and passionate find themselves on opposite sides of an escalating conflict. With the Reserve threatened by vicious poachers and runaway fires, they are thrown together unable to contain the scorching attraction between them.
Far away from the rat race of New York Erica feels the stirring of a different drum, ancient and irresistible. But surrendering to the wild would mean she would have to submit to the powerful attraction to Jean-Luc and she isn’t ready to give up control just yet…
EXCERPT:
“Leopards are solitary creatures,” Jean-Luc answered. “Pound for pound, they are the strongest of the big cats. They have no need to hunt in a pack or in pairs, and they can take down animals three times their size.” He spoke softly, careful not to spook the big cat, and Erica found herself drawn to this passionate man of Africa.
“You’ll never hear a leopard coming. This is one of the stealthiest and most successful hunters on earth.”
The leopard, fully aware of the presence of her onlookers, gracefully leaped to a branch on a neighboring tree and in a flash, she vanished. Erica realized she had barely breathed for several minutes and her arms were covered in gooseflesh. The encounter left her enthralled, and she found herself musing that she had felt a strange but electrifying kinship with the magnificent cat.
Single, female hunter with no need of a mate. I’ve proved myself more than a match for the old boys’ club that is the mining business.
Jean-Luc drove the Land Rover south, heading toward one of the quieter tracks in the reserve. Their destination was a water hole for sundowners, a place that would be mostly dry, as it was still before the summer rains. The terrain in the south of the park grew more rocky and the trees more sparse. The view of the great Lebombo Mountains would be superb, but they would have to hurry to catch the last, dying rays of daylight.

Some books you start reading and then put the book down to take care of dinner or laundry. But there are some books you start where you forget to eat and refuse to go to sleep until the story is done. Damaged Heart by SM Soto is like that. You have to find out what happens as she blends the past of her heroine with the present as she continues to push away the people in her life.
BLURB:
Happy ever after’s don’t exist for girls like me.
For the past nine years, Samantha Paisley has been playing a tiresome game of back and forth with her longtime friend with benefits, Alex Clark. Growing up in a toxic environment, Samantha never learned how to love or how to be loved.
So, when Alex tries to get closer to the fiery, foul-mouthed red-head, she cuts herself off from the only man she loves—not wanting to destroy the one stable relationship in her otherwise turbulent, troublesome life. But Alex will stop at nothing to have his woman by his side and in his bed, even if it’s the last thing he does.
EXCERPT:
Damage /damij/ verb
Past tense: Damaged Past participle: Damaged
1. Inflict physical harm on (something) so as to impair its value, usefulness, or normal function.
2. Have a detrimental effect on.
In one way or another, we are all products of our childhoods. Some children grow up with a silver spoon in their mouths while others are starving, praying for their next meal. Some children have the luxury of a proud environment, while others live in a poverty-riddled one. There are some of us in the world who were never destined to make it. We were doomed from the start.
Whether it was a result of our upbringing, or lack thereof, we were never meant to become anything more than the bottom feeders—the kind of people others frown upon and pity. But the fucked-up part? We didn’t want this shit life. We were born into it. It was branded onto our skin. Embedded in our souls. We’re the tainted ones in this society, or at the very least, that’s what we’re all taught to believe.
My actions are a direct result of my childhood. The toxicity running through my veins is a byproduct of what I had to endure as a child. I’m reckless. I’m toxic. I’m careless. I’m so fucking damaged. This isn’t a story about love and happily-ever-afters. This isn’t a story for the faint of heart. This isn’t even a story at all. My name is Samantha Paisley, and this is my life.

Who doesn't love a little gossip? Listening in on a coworker's phone conversation to know what's going on with the boss? Or checking out the tabloids in the grocery line? I admit, I do it! Sometimes I want to see who's on the cover and who is dating whom. Can you forget Beniffer? That was on magazines for weeks! But what if you could hire someone to "fix" those little problems and keep them out of the limelight??
Celina Mulder's upcoming release, Celebrity Spin Doctor tells about Lucille who gets in over her head with one of her clients. It's all about the zany mishaps and swoon-worthy romance!! This story will have you laughing out loud at points and cheering for Lucille to fall into Michel's lap at others. But don't take my word for it....
BLURB:
Remember when country star, Christy-Anne, had the leaked sex tape?
No one else does either. All thanks to Lucille Anton, undercover PR agent for troublesome celebrities. They screw up, she covers up. Business is good and Lucille’s good at it. But all that changes when international superstar Michel Polce approaches her with the toughest case of her career—his fiancée is trying to kill him and he doesn’t want anyone to know.
Brett Jacobs is at rock bottom of, well, everything. But he pulls himself out of his grimy apartment to attend a party with his former best friend, Michel Polce. Little does he know he’s about to be introduced to the most fascinating, unattainable woman he’s ever met in his life. And the only way to get close to her is to convince her, and himself, to help Michel.
The mission is clear—find the fiancée, tell her to stop trying to kill Michel, and make sure no one knows. But with an ex-boyfriend popping up at inconvenient moments, a fugitive uncle who can’t stay away, and some ill-timed sexacapades, this ordeal is more than any of them bargained for.

When opposites collide- sparks happen! We see a meteorite hitting the Earth and the world watches. When lightning hits the tree, flames shoot up! When the popular swim team captain runs into the nerdy foster girl... the whole school is on edge!
In Brooke Moss' latest release we see just what can happen when the two opposite students meet. But are they as different as everyone thinks they are??
BLURB:
When opposite worlds collide…
Posey Briggs has a chip on her shoulder the size of Whidbey, the island off of the Washington Coast where she’s stuck with her annoying foster family, and their band of mismatched, screw up kids. The last thing she needs while she rides out these last few months until she’s eighteen and finally free from the system, is to be saddled with some bogus tutoring assignment given by an English teacher with a God complex.
Drew Baxter has the world in the palm of his hands. Best athlete in school, coolest guy on campus, nailing the hottest girl in school whenever he wants. What more could he ask for? Except for his dad to stop making his life a terrorizing game of whose face will get pounded tonight? He’d rather do just about anything other than sitting around listening to the school loser lecture him about Shakespeare every day.
Sometimes the universe has a way of thrusting two people together, even though they’d rather drink poison than sit across a library table from one another. And in this case, the universe knew something Drew and Posey never saw coming: they would become the single most important person in each other’s lives, and save each other from completely unraveling.
Will the explosion, save them or destroy them?
EXCERPT:
“You need to pass this class to graduate,” Mr. Kingston said gently. “I know you want to graduate. You might act like you don’t care, but I know otherwise. Am I right?”
Sniffing, I shifted my gaze to the window. It was raining. Again.
“Then let’s get the year started off on the right foot. Let’s get this grade up.” When I didn’t say anything, he tucked the charts back into his folder. “I’ve been thinking about how to help you, and I think I’ve come up with a plan.”
I pressed my lips together and sat up straight in my chair, still watching the window. I knew where this was going. This wasn’t my first rodeo. Crossing my legs at the ankles, I pressed my thighs together so tightly they ached. If this sick bastard put one finger on me, I was going to kung fu this desk right into his face.
“I want you to tutor someone for a while,” he said after a very dramatic pause.
Wrinkling up my face, I looked at my teacher through the corner of my eye. “Excuse me?”
Mr. Kingston chuckled. “I knew you could talk.” He leaned back in his seat and folded his arms across his chest. “Listen to me. I am willing to help you earn extra credit by working with a fellow senior. His grade is weak right now, and he could use a real boost to get the scholarship he’s got his eye on. I think a student with a passion for literature is exactly what he needs. That’s where you come in. I would help him myself, but my wife is very pregnant, and I’m needed at home as much as possible. I think this is a way for us all to get what we need.”
My stomach tightened. “Him?”
He nodded. “Uh huh. He’s in this class with you. Drew Baxter. Do you know him?”
I groaned and closed my eyes. Of course, I knew him. We only had five hundred kids in this school, and the popular ones were practically hailed as royalty, by not just the kids, but the adults, too. It was insane to watch. Parents stopped and pointed out the star athlete to their little kids like they were spotting a damned unicorn. And when the son of Twisted Tree’s mayor, Curtis Baxter, came into the one and only convenience store in town, suddenly there was no line to pay for fuel. No charge for a pack of gum. No wait to get to the pump.
It was sickening to watch, really.
“Yes, I know him,” I said through clenched teeth.

It was insane to watch. Parents stopped and pointed out the star athlete to their little kids like they were spotting a damned unicorn. And when the son of Twisted Tree’s mayor, Curtis Baxter, came into the one and only convenience store in town, suddenly there was no line to pay for fuel. No charge for a pack of gum. No wait to get to the pump.
It was sickening to watch, really.
“Yes, I know him,” I said through clenched teeth.

About the Author:
"I write because if I don't...my head will explode, and ruin the drapes." ♥
Brooke writes complex, character-driven stories about kismet, reunited lovers, first love, and the kind of romance that we should all have the chance at finding. She prefers her stories laced with some humor just for fun, and enough drama to keep her readers flipping the pages, and begging for more!
When Brooke isn't spinning tales, she spends her time drawing/cartooning, reading, watching movies then comparing them to books, and, of course, wrangling four kids, mugging on her hubby she lovingly refers to as her "nerd", and attempting to conquer the Mount Everest of laundry that is the bane of her existence.

Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever had an experience you couldn't explain? A few years ago, I was at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio. Supposedly the hotel is very haunted. Ghosts are seen frequently. Teddy Roosevelt's ghost likes to haunt the bar looking for men to sign up for his Rough Riders. One night, I woke. Something was off. I glanced over to the chair in the room to find a man in the chair watching us. When I looked at the mirror, he couldn't be seen, only the green dress on the back of the chair. The man wore an old button down collar-less shirt. I felt like he was watching over my friend and I sleeping. I told him "Thank You" and rolled over and went back to sleep. In other people's rooms that night, things were destroyed like the phone or pennies were left on their computers.
Share about your ghostly experience!! And check out Susan V. Vaughn's latest book, Love Detour about Ashlyn who not only sees a ghost but takes his advice!
BLURB:
Life can change in the most unexpected ways.
Ashlyn Montana had encountered ghosts her whole life, but none more charming or irresistible than Bob Abbott. From the moment the fatherly figure floated into her life, she knew she met a friend she could trust. Pressured by her family to marry young, Ashlyn takes Bob’s advice and goes on the run in disguise. But when he talks her into taking a job in Breaker Creek as a farm boy named Al, she becomes suspicious. Did her ghostly pal lead her to freedom, or entangle her into his past?
Hunter Abbott had no idea what he was getting into hiring the clueless and scrawny farm boy, Al. But he felt for the kid. There was a time he was once a lost boy looking for a place to belong, until his Uncle Bob took him under his wing. But when Hunter tries to help guide Al into a farmer it leads to a shocking discovery. His new hire is hiding an unbelievable secret. And Hunter is about to face a reality he never thought possible.
Can the two people Bob Abbot loves most, find love as they work to solve the mystery of his murder?
EXCERPT:
“So what?” Al challenged back. His voice had gone up in pitch again, and his eyes were blazing with anger. “You’re not the boss of everything I do.”
He crossed his arms over his chest. If Al wanted to fight with him like a man, then he had better be ready to act like one. “I pay you, feed you, and give you a place to live. And as long as I do all three of those things what I say goes.” He leaned close and lowered his voice. “Now go take a shower, change your clothes, and join our guests for dinner.”
Al turned his head to the left of him and stuck out his tongue.
Hunter grabbed him by the front of his overalls and pulled him up into the air so that they were face to face. “Now you’re sticking out your tongue at me?”
“Not at you,” the boy squeaked, fighting Hunter’s grip.
“Then who are you giving that look too, kid?” He gave the boy one gentle warning shake, before lowering him back to his feet. “I’m the only person standing in this room with you.”
Al looked down at his boots, refusing to answer. And just like that, Hunter snapped again. He grabbed onto the boy’s arm firmly, and repeated, “Who are you giving that look to?”
“Nobody.” Al tried to pull his arm back and got nowhere. He glanced up at Hunter with desperation, and his eyes were so startling green at that moment—his lashes so long, his cheeks so pink—he looked exactly like a woman.
Hunter dropped the boy's arm and took several steps back.

Can you imagine living for hundreds and hundreds of years? Never seeing the sunlight...and watching the world change around you.
Being a vampire sounds like a fun time. You are basically immortal. Only a few things can kill you. You never age. A downside is your diet... liquid diet. But hardest is watching your family and loved ones pass on and leave you. I know for me that would be the hardest part. Say one of them comes down with cancer. You could cure them by changing them but should you? Could you? Those choices are a small part of what makes being a vampire not all the glamorous life movies portray.
Clara Winter's vampires are amazing. When Millicent loses the love of her life, her depression takes over. Can vampires become depressed? See what happens when her previous love shows up...
EXCERPT:
Walking back around the kitchen counter, I approach Jack slowly, hoping he isn’t afraid of me. His hands are folded on top of the counter. His eyes stare straight ahead. I can’t read anything on his face. Tentatively, I reach out my hand, lightly touching his arm. I’m afraid he is going to flinch, but he doesn’t. He turns his head toward me, followed by his body. Jack reaches up and touches my cheek. His gesture makes me think he may actually accept all of this.
If only our life could be this simple--a boy and girl in love--the end. The only ending I ever wanted.
“I’m guessing you’re actually much older than I am. How old are you?”
Not what I expected, but I’ll take it. I won’t make a joke about how he shouldn’t ask a lady her age.
“Two hundred sixty-one, to be exact.”
After a few minutes of silence, I ask if he would like that drink now, which he readily accepts.
Taking my time, I pour him a scotch over ice. He needs a minute to take everything in, and I try to give it to him. I’m wondering if I should go for it, telling him the rest of the story, or wait, letting him process one thing at a time.
BLURB:
True love never dies.
At least, it doesn’t for Millicent, a once French noblewoman turned immortal vampire. The love of her life is murdered before she became immortal. Forever is a long time to live in despair. Two hundred forty years later, she locks eyes with an English actor, who happens to look exactly like her dead lover.
Sadness turns to happiness as Millicent and Jack find passion in each other’s arms. Their fling quickly turns serious as Millicent finds happiness once again—and possibly her one true love.
However, their relationship becomes complicated by her own uncertainty, Jack’s mortality, and the other man in Millicent’s life, Alexandre, her maker and companion. When Alexandre puts his foot down, Millicent must decide if she’s going to continue to be led by others or take the reins and drive the outcome of her life.
Deepest Midnight is set in modern day Savannah, Ga with occasional glimpses back to 18th century France. This is the first book in The Immortal Kindred Series.
