lay in the frosted grass behind Frozen Falls. Her eyes were wide
open, and the wind blew her hair, ash-blond locks reflecting the blue
sky. Her face, beautiful even in death, was pale, as if the bitter
cold from the mountain had drained the color from her cheeks.</b></span><span color="#"><br /><br />On
a crisp autumn day in the small town of Mount Chester, </span><span color="#"><b>Detective
Kay Sharp</b></span><span color="#"> </span><span color="#">comes
face-to-face with the past she has spent the last decade running
from. Her ex-husband, </span><span color="#"><b>Brian</b></span><span color="#">,
has been accused of murder.<br /><br />Seeing Brian brings a flood of
painful memories—he betrayed her in the worst possible way. Yet
despite her heartbreak, Kay is willing to put her career on the line
to prove his innocence.<br /><br />Brian is accused of killing Kay’s
former best friend, </span><span color="#"><b>Rachel</b></span><span color="#">—</span><span color="#">the
woman he cheated on Kay with, getting her pregnant. The blood drains
from Kay’s face; she received a voicemail from Rachel two days ago.
“I hope you’ll forgive me,” she’d said, her voice fraught
with tears. “I know I have no right, but I need you.” Kay’s
stomach plummets. By the time she called back, Rachel was already
dead. Could Brian really be the murderer?<br /><br />Kay faces pressure
from her crime team, who don’t want her working on an investigation
so close to home. But she’s willing to risk everything—she vows
to get justice for Rachel.<br /><br />When Kay visit’s Rachel’s
mother, she uncovers a heart-stopping discovery that makes the case
even more critical: Rachel’s eight-year-old daughter, </span><span color="#"><b>Holly</b></span><span color="#">,
is missing. Could the little girl still be alive?<br /><br />Up against
the most complex—and most personal—case of her career, can she
save precious Holly before it’s too late? And will Kay’s
determination to find out the truth lead to justice—or be her
undoing?<br /><br /></span><span color="#"><b>Thrillers
don’t get more gripping than this! You’ll speed through this
addictive, twist-filled page-turner with a racing heart. Perfect for
fans of Robert Dugoni, Karin Slaughter and Rachel Caine.</b></span><span color="#"><br /></span></span></span><br />

<span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">An
epic fantasy buddy flick/bromance with a dark edge as well as humor,
the Assassins of Landria series veers into horror, action, family,
angst, comedy, and the occult. Think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance
Kid recast as medieval assassins.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">A
year after the evets of Fugitive's Vow, the worst of Rett's wounds
are healed. His recovery came at a high cost, leaving Ridge indebted
to a mage of dubious integrity. Rett is functional, but he remains
scarred and bitter, and self-loathing over his damaged mind and body
strains his bond with Ridge. When the mage Ridge owes assigns him a
quest to cancel his debt, Rett fears betrayal, though Ridge has no
choice but to comply. The additional dream-walking and astral
projection abilities awakened by the fracturing of Rett's mind might
be their only advantage, since Ridge's quest is a suicide mission to
retrieve an artifact capable of altering the past and rewriting
history.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Ridge
and Rett will need to regain their unshakeable trust and unwavering
loyalty to have any hope of surviving the mission. Their enemies are
legion and their friends are few, but the greatest threat to their
survival lies in their own unresolved guilt, anger and fear. In order
to save history, they'll have to revisit deeds and memories best left
buried, and make peace with the past to rescue the future. They think
the artifact is to be used to try to save Kristoph. In reality, it
enables them to make a tiny change that saves the life of the missing
bastard heir, though they don't realize it at the time.</span></p>

<p><b>Pretend</b><br /><b>R.L. Mathewson</b><br />(Neighbor from Hell, #14)<br />Publication date: March 3rd 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance</p><blockquote><p><b>From New York Time’s bestselling author R.L. Mathewson comes the prequel to the disturbingly funny romantic comedy series, Neighbor from Hell.</b></p>
<p>She couldn’t do this anymore.</p>
<p>After watching her best friend and the man that she’d been in love with her entire life propose to another woman, Morgan decided that it was time to finally move on. She made plans, plans that Eric didn’t know about and she planned to keep it that way, but unfortunately for her, one bet destroyed everything, leaving her with no choice but to be there for her best friend one last time.</p>
<p>He was done.</p>
<p>After catching his fiancée cheating on him, Eric Bradford was done wasting his time on women that he had absolutely no hope of falling in love with. He just needed time, a chance to get away, and he just needed…</p>
<p>Her.</p>
<p>Determined to figure out how he kept screwing up his life, Eric takes his best friend on the honeymoon that he’d spent a fortune on and asked her for one more favor, one that would change everything, and leave him with no choice but to do whatever it takes to stop the one woman that meant everything to him from finally walking away.</p>

<p>“I need another favor,” Eric said, finishing off the last bite of danish before grabbing the muffin off her plate and devoured it with a groan.</p>
<p>“And you felt the best way to go about that was to glare at me while stealing my food?” Morgan asked, blinking at the man narrowing his eyes on her.</p>
<p>“Yes,” Eric bit out, his glare never leaving her as he reached over and forced her to snatch the mini chocolate chip muffin off the plate and shove it into her mouth before he could steal it.</p>
<p>“And my bags?” Morgan asked, following that up by snatching the small piece of coffee cake off the plate and took a large bite of it, making sure to savor every last morsel simply to piss him off.</p>
<p>“Gave me great joy to leave them behind,” Eric bit out as he reached over and snatched the last bite of coffee cake out of her hand and shoved it in his mouth, his glare never leaving her as he finished it off.</p>
<p>Nodding slowly, Morgan said, “Whatever it is, the answer’s no.”</p>
<p>For a moment, Eric simply glared at her before he said, “You owe me.”</p>
<p>“I really don’t, though,” Morgan said, swiping the last apple danish off the plate before he could grab it and took a bite before she added, “and if I did owe you anything, which I don’t, I would say that me being dragged along on this trip more than makes up for whatever imaginary debt you think I owe you.”</p>
<p>“You really think so?” Eric asked, reaching over and swiped the danish out of her hand and shoved it in his mouth.</p>
<p>“I really do,” Morgan said, knowing that she’d more than paid back any favor that she owed him by going on this trip. In fact, some might say that he owed her after this. Not that she was going to be around to collect on that debt, but still. She-</p>
<p>“Summer camp,” Eric said, taking his time enunciating every syllable as she sat there, trying to remember how to breathe.</p>
<p>“You promised we’d never speak of it again,” Morgan mumbled hollowly, swallowing hard as she thought about that summer they-</p>
<p>She wasn’t ready to think about what happened. Not now, and definitely not without the help of a trained professional.</p>
<p>“You. Owe. Me,” Eric bit out as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, black box.</p>
<p>“But…” Morgan mumbled helplessly, shifting as she licked her suddenly dry lips while she watched as Eric opened the box and-</p>
<p>She was going to be sick.</p>

<p><b>The Romanov Heiress</b><br /><b>Jennifer Laam</b><br />Publication date: March 20th 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Historical</p><blockquote><p><i>Four sisters in hiding. A grand duchess in disguise. Dark family secrets revealed…a</i><i>n alternate future for the Romanov sisters from Jennifer Laam, author of The Secret Daughter of the Tsar and The Lost Season of Love and Snow. </i></p>
<p>With her parents and brother missing and presumed dead, Grand Duchess Olga Romanova must keep her younger sisters safe. The Bolsheviks are determined to eliminate any remaining holdovers from the tsarist regime, hunting down the last Romanovs and putting them to death. Now living in England, the Romanov sisters remain hidden to protect their identities, even as isolation strains their relationships.</p>
<p>But they can’t distance themselves from the world forever.</p>
<p>Olga learns that a peer of the realm has accused the late Empress Alexandra of betraying Russia and her allies during the Great War. Under the spell of the scheming Grigori Rasputin, Alexandra disclosed military secrets to the enemy and pursued a separate peace with Germany. If this rumor becomes history, it will destroy her mother’s legacy and her sisters’ futures.</p>
<p>Disguised as “Olivia,” a wartime nurse turned maid, Olga accepts a position in Lord Hammond’s household. There, she works to discover the truth about her mother. When Olga meets his lordship’s heir—an alluring, enigmatic war veteran—her situation grows even more precarious. Could she fall for the son of her new enemy? As she learns more about the tragedies of his past, Olga realizes the connection between their families is more complicated than it appears.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><b>EXCERPT:</b></p>
<p><i>August 1918</i></p>
<p>The fugitive lay on her back, bruised limbs pressed flat, hidden alongside her sisters underneath a mound of coarse blankets. As the ambulance rumbled to a halt, gasoline fumes flooded the rear compartment, masking the heavy odor of their unwashed bodies. Her breathing grew labored. She didn’t know where they were or who had stopped them. She only knew they must not make a sound.</p>
<p>Over the past weeks, they moved slowly through land held by the Bolsheviks. Every evening at dusk, they ate carefully rationed portions of tinned meat and dry wafers while their two saviors—agents from England with forged papers identifying them as officers of the Red Guard—checked the radio transmitter for word of Allied progress toward the northern ports along the White Sea. Then, during the scant hours of darkness afforded by the short summer nights, they traveled a tortuous course to avoid military checkpoints.</p>
<p>Bundled in tattered sweaters, Olga and her three sisters were gaunt. Their neglected hair hung limp about their shoulders. But their faces once adorned postcards, calendars, and boxes of fancy chocolates. If detained, they would be recognized at once.</p>
<p>The missing daughters of the tsar.</p>
<p>Anastasia’s warm body pressed closer, trembling as she tensed her jaw and tried to stifle a cough.</p>
<p>A terrifying scenario unfolded in Olga’s mind. Thick boots pounded on the roadway before soldiers with red stars tacked to their lapels tossed the blankets aside and dragged Olga and her sisters back into the hellish world they’d been so desperate to escape. What if this journey had been for nothing? Worse than nothing because they had left their parents and sick little brother, Alexei, behind.</p>
<p>Olga was twenty-two years old and the eldest. It fell on her to get them through this nightmare, no matter the outcome.</p>
<p>She felt around until she located her youngest sister’s hand. She held it tight, flinching at the hard calluses and pus leaking from an erupted blister on the pad of Anastasia’s thumb.</p>
<p>Deep masculine voices, muddled and indistinct, rumbled outside. The fingers of Olga’s free hand balled into fists, rage displacing fear. The Bolsheviks may have stolen everything she held dear, but Olga would confront them as a true Romanov. Unbroken. When they raised their revolvers, she would hold her head high and ensure her face haunted these traitors for the rest of their lives.</p>
<p>The back door of the old field ambulance creaked open. Tentatively, Olga drew the blanket down. After hours of near-darkness, sunlight momentarily blurred her vision. When Olga released Anastasia’s hand and sat upright, a cool breeze caressed her forehead.</p>
<p>Before her stood a broad-shouldered gentleman of about fifty, with black brows, a full beard flecked with gray, and brown eyes behind wire-framed spectacles. The man wore a khaki tunic, as Papa had during the war. The coat’s golden buttons and belt buckle gleamed in the morning sun.</p>
<p>“Your imperial highness.” The gentleman removed his hat and bowed his head. He had spoken in English. She assumed he was the commanding officer. A half-dozen other men stood behind him, each dressed in the same khaki uniform. Some rose on tip-toe to get a closer look at Olga.</p>
<p>None bore a red star on his lapel.</p>
<p>Her sisters emerged from under the blankets. They pressed her shoulders, exhalations warm on the back of her neck.</p>
<p>“I think he’s in charge.” Tatiana, the second eldest, whispered in Olga’s ear. “And waiting for you to speak first.”</p>
<p>A spark of hope ignited in her heart, yet Olga didn’t trust these strangers. It had been far too long since anyone outside her family had shown her kindness or respect. For months, they had been kept under constant watch: shoved about, subjected to barking orders and humiliating whims, and made to feel they clung to life by the thinnest of threads. Olga remembered the defeated expression on her little brother’s face when she’d said goodbye for the last time. Even her once proud father bent under the weight of captivity.</p>
<p>Their saviors, the two men who had rescued them from that nightmare, rounded the vehicle and walked toward the soldiers, broad smiles brightening their ruddy faces.</p>
<p>And then the words fell from Olga’s tongue easily, as Mama had always preferred to speak English with her family. “We are here then? We’ve made it to British soil?”</p>
<p>“We have delivered you to Arkhangelsk. From here, you will be transported to your new home.”</p>
<p>“We are in your debt, sir.”</p>
<p>Olga waited because she knew he would say more. There had to be more. While they had been rescued, their parents and brother remained imprisoned in Ekaterinburg, along with a handful of loyal servants.</p>
<p>“You will return for the others, won’t you?” she said, heart thumping. “My family. Our doctor. My mother’s maid. You must promise.”</p>
<p>The officer held her gaze. “The Bolsheviks fortified their defenses around the city’s perimeter. We can’t send our agents back to the house.”</p>
<p>Faced with those terrible words, Olga couldn’t bring herself to ask anything else. Couldn’t bear to hear it was too late. Her stomach churned, but she must not break. Not here. Not yet. As the eldest, she needed to stay strong. For her sisters.</p>
<p>When Olga said nothing more, the officer turned back to his men. Three soldiers joined him, lining up before her sisters to help them out of the ambulance.</p>
<p>“I know you are in pain,” the officer told her. “Remember that you and your sisters are safe. You survived. And we have done everything in our power to find a secure place for you. I promise.”<br class="blank" /></p>

<p><b>Flirting with the Stranger</b><br /><b>Gia Stevens</b><br />Publication date: March 20th 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance</p><blockquote><p><b>Have you ever mistaken a guy for a stripper and had a scorching hot one-night stand with him only to find out he’s your new boss? No? Just me?</b></p>
<p>The first time I met Van, I was instantly drawn to his charismatic smile and stunning good looks as I shoved dollar bills into his waistband.</p>
<p>The second time I saw Van, he walked into my bakery as the new owner and boss. That time, I kept my dollars to myself.</p>
<p>But there’s a problem, owning a bakery wasn’t his choice and all he wants is to sell. Somehow, I need to persuade him to keep the business, so I can keep my dream job. When he admits he doesn’t know the difference between “frosting” and “icing,” I realize I have my work cut out for me.</p>
<p>With each passing day, our chemistry ignites like a chocolate flambé. But it’s a distraction I don’t need. I know from experience that when I wish for everything, I end up with nothing.</p>
<p>Van’s young and irresponsible, he can’t possibly know anything about running a bakery or falling in love. But he’s determined to prove me wrong.</p>
<p>It turns out he has a few cupcakes up his sleeve that just might satisfy my sweet tooth.</p>
<p><i>Flirting with the Stranger is a reverse age gap, strangers to lovers, one night stand, boss/employee romantic comedy with a hero who has a real sweet tooth for something besides cupcakes. Be prepared to laugh-out-loud one minute and swoon the next in this steamy standalone romance.</i></p>

<p>“No, seriously. You’re an hour late. The least you could’ve done was call. We have a group of girls who are ready to see you take your clothes off. Let’s go.” Her dainty fingers wrap around my wrist. The warm contact sends a current of electricity coursing through my body as she tugs me up the stairs.</p>
<p>“Wait.” I plant my feet. “What are you talking about? Take my clothes off? I think I deserve dinner before I get naked.” I flash her a seductive smile.</p>
<p>“Dinner? Are you kidding? We weren’t told we had to feed you.” She drops my hand and rests it on her hip. “Look, we have a thousand dollars for you plus tips, if you’re good, to take your clothes off and shake your ass while we all ooh and ahh over your ripped abs. You have ripped abs, right?” She lifts the hem of my shirt, exposing my hard six pack. “Oh yes, that’ll do.” Her gaze lingers on my exposed stomach for a few extra seconds before she reluctantly drops the fabric. “So, are you coming or am I calling your boss to tell him you won’t do your job?”</p>
<p>Fuck. She thinks I’m a stripper for her party. But it pays a thousand dollars plus tips. Since I’m jobless, I could use the cash. I wager the battle in my head for a split second and, fuck it. First time for everything. “Lead the way.”</p>
<p>She spins around and climbs the stairs, the shimmering sequins on the ass of her dress hypnotizing as her hips sway back and forth. As the giggles and laughter grow louder, I second guess myself. I’ve never done this before. I mean, I’ve gotten naked before, just never with more than one girl watching.</p>
<p>“Our entertainment has arrived!” the bombshell announces to her friends.</p>

<p><b>A prophecy foretold by the Council.<br />
</b><b>A sword forged by the Ladies of the Lake.<br />
</b><b>A child born from love and the hope of thousands.</b></p>
<p>Seventeen-year-old Idrisa is a student from Dumont Orphan School. When the Emperor of Dumonia invites all citizens to a birthday gala for Prince Merrick, she attends and becomes entangled in a world beyond belief.</p>
<p>At the party, Idrisa begins to hear strange voices that urge her to go to the lake. A student from school follows and tries to kill her, but in the fight for her survival, Idrisa gains possession of an eternal sword—gifted by the Ladies of the Lake.</p>
<p>The Emperor demands it, but only Idrisa can wield the sword, so he imprisons her. Her only hope is Prince Merrick, but he is grieving the death of his mother and doesn’t care about anything happening around him.</p>
<p>While held captive, Idrisa uncovers secrets that challenge everything she thought she knew about Dumonia. Enemies and allies emerge when they hear news of the sword, and she must unlock the mystery of the weapon before darkness descends on the empire forever.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><b>EXCERPT:</b></p>
<p>The voice in my head hummed a tune with ancient words. The somber melody rose an octave higher and dipped lower. A song of death, a song of horror and grief, and yet beautiful and profound, like the voice, raw and pure.</p>
<p>“I’m here. What do you want?” Why was I talking to the water?</p>
<p>I wrapped my arms around my chest when the breeze blew harder, water slamming against the walkway. Perhaps a warning of something terrible to come.</p>
<p>“Idrisa.” It sang my name, a soft tune filling my mind with bliss.</p>
<p>“Why is my lantern black? Why have you put it in front of me?” I shouted, desperate for answers.</p>
<p>Something glowed inside the lake, the size of an orb at first, then illuminated brighter and closer, like the birth of a new star. I threw my arms up to protect myself but the glow shifted, and then split into an image of three women.</p>
<p>Their long, silver hair and flowing white dresses blazed like milky fire, and brilliant light shone where their faces should be. I couldn’t stare without blinding myself.</p>
<p>“We welcome you, Idrisa. Do not be afraid. We are the Eternal Mothers,” they said in unison. Their voices sounded in my head like a hypnotic and celestial chorus.</p>
<p>My heart lurched to my throat. I curtsied, awed and humbled they’d appear before someone like me. Surely there was a mistake.</p>
<p>“What do you want with me?” I asked, my voice shaky.</p>
<p>“You are the light and the dark of this world. Within you lies strength, courage, and hope. Your time has come.” The Lady in the middle held a beaming sword that hadn’t been there before.</p>
<p>The sword rose from the lake, no doubt a hallucination. I shivered, an icy blast of wind nearly knocking me back as mist sprayed over my face. I didn’t know how deep the lake reached. If I fell, I doubted I could swim in the freezing water.</p>
<p>“I am Eternal Mother Viviane, the voice of all. I present to you, Caliburn<i>.” </i>The white light from the blade, like a thousand diamonds blessed with inner fire, beckoned me to reach out for it.</p>
<p><i>Your time has come?</i> “What do you mean? Is it my time to die?”</p>
<p>“The truest of hearts and the blood of the firstborn, to restore the balance from once torn. Kingdoms shall rise and fall and empires alike, but only the blessed ones can save them all. You must live, Idrisa. You must fight. Most of all, you must have faith and accept your destiny. Now, take Caliburn and run.”</p>
<p>Before I could ask more questions, rapid footsteps vibrated on the walkway.<br class="blank" /></p>

selling author Janet Morris began writing in 1976 and has since
published more than 30 novels, many co-authored with her husband
Chris Morris or others. She has contributed short fiction to the
shared universe fantasy series Thieves World, in which she created
the Sacred Band of Stepsons, a mythical unit of ancient fighters
modeled on the Sacred Band of Thebes. She created, orchestrated, and
edited the Bangsian fantasy series Heroes in Hell, writing stories
for the series as well as co-writing the related novel, The Little
Helliad, with Chris Morris. She wrote the bestselling Silistra
Quartet in the 1970s, including High Couch of Silistra, The Golden
Sword, Wind from the Abyss, and The Carnelian Throne. This quartet
had more than four million copies in Bantam print alone, and was
translated into German, French, Italian, Russian and other languages.
In the 1980s, Baen Books released a second edition of this landmark
series. The third edition is the Author's Cut edition, newly revised
by the author for Perseid Press. Most of her fiction work has been in
the fantasy and science fiction genres, although she has also written
historical and other novels. Morris has written, contributed to, or
edited several book-length works of non-fiction, as well as papers
and articles on nonlethal weapons, developmental military technology
and other defense and national security topics.</span></span></p>

says: 'People often ask what book to read first. I recommend "I,
the Sun" if you like ancient history; "The Sacred Band,"
a novel, if you like heroic fantasy; "Lawyers in Hell" if
you like historical fantasy set in hell; "Outpassage" if
you like hard science fiction; "High Couch of Silistra" if
you like far-future dystopian or philosophical novels. I am most
enthusiastic about the definitive Perseid Press Author's Cut
editions, which I revised and expanded.'</span></span></p>

<p><b>The Rise of the Witch</b><br /><b>Elle Rossi</b><br />Publication date: June 2023<br />Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal, Young Adult</p><blockquote><p>Elemental witches have been oppressed and controlled for untold millennia by jealous humans who fear the power of their blood. Even those witches who believed in purity were persecuted, as mixed-element babies were killed, tested, and experimented on in a desperate attempt to keep their powers at bay.</p>
<p>Laws and regulations have been implemented to keep the Elementals from truly blending, to keep fire from marrying water, air from uniting with earth, but these laws cannot stop hearts from connecting. Love knows no boundaries and sometimes rules are broken for a greater purpose—to allow a being of power and chaos to be born into this world.</p>
<p>I am Ailynn. And I am that being—the first chaos witch. Birthed with the combined power of all five elements, I stand against those who would seek to keep us apart.</p>
<p>I will not be caged. I will not be silenced. I am here, and I will not be forgotten.</p>

<p><b>Author Bio:</b></p>
<p>Elle J Rossi grew up in rural Indiana surrounded by great people, a huge family and more animals than she could count. But the sites and sounds of the world beckoned, so she left her small town to escape into a creative world full of music. As a full time singer she was able to lose herself in a thousand different songs in a hundred different places.</p>
<p>After meeting the love of her life and settling down, she yearned to find a new and fulfilling creative outlet. Overly fond of the happily ever after, she wondered what it would be like to have her own characters lead her down dark and twisted paths. The very first word on the very first page sealed her fate. She'd found a new love. She'd found her escape.</p>
<p>Now along with weaving haunting tales about the journey to love, she's creating cover art for authors around the world and loving every second of it. For fun, she cranks country music to take her back to her roots, and sings karaoke anytime she gets a chance. Her husband, two children, and two cats that rule the roost keep her company along the way and guarantee she doesn't get lost in the enchanted forest. She wouldn't have it any other way.</p>

is 394 B.C. At a remote loch in the highlands of Northern Albu, a
priest sacrifices nine innocents. Below the water’s surface, a
shape feeds on their blood and begins to take form. Soon it becomes
sentient and begins to hunt. Sidheag has risen.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Humans
cannot defeat the abomination. Neither can Mongfhionn, the powerful
leader of the demi-goddesses of the Aes Sidhe. The only remedy is the
Blood Queen and Gràinne is the sole heir to that throne. Will the
Blood Queen stand alongside Mongfhionn to confront Sidheag?</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Yet
the cost for Gràinne may be too much—unless her daughter, Brianag,
is in jeopardy.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Passions,
always near the surface of the Celts, burst into flames in The Blood
Queen where father is pitted against son; mother against daughter;
sister against sister; brother against sister; and father against
daughter.</span></p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">High tea and high fashion turn deadly in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series.
</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tea shop entrepreneur Theodosia Browning has been tapped to host a fancy Limón Tea in a genuine lemon orchard as a rousing kickoff to Charleston Fashion Week. But as fairy lights twinkle and the scent of lemon wafts among the tea tables, the deadly murder of a fashion designer puts the squeeze on things.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the lemon curd begins to sour, the murdered woman’s daughter begs Theodosia to help find the killer. Tea events and fashion shows must go on, however, which puts Theodosia and her tea sommelier, Drayton Conneley, right in the thick of squabbling business partners, crazed clothing designers, irate film producers, drug deals, and a disastrous Tea Trolley Tour.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">INCLUDES DELICIOUS RECIPES AND TEA TIME TIPS!</p></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><b>REVIEW</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I so look forward to new books in this series! We catch up with Theo as she is putting together a special tea with a lemon theme that will be held in an actual lemon orchard. Things are going quite well until a fashion designer ends up murdered and since the events must go on Theo is right in the middle of it all. Creates quite the enjoyable read as it all plays out keeping you guessing as each new clue is discovered. A great choice for cozy fans. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.</div>

Theodosia is a savvy entrepreneur, and pet mom to service dog Earl Grey. She’s also an intelligent, focused amateur sleuth who doesn’t rely on coincidences or inept police work to solve crimes.

Eggs are the morning specialty here and this cozy cafe even offers a book nook and yarn shop. Business is good but murder could lead to the cafe’s undoing! This series offers recipes, knitting, cake decorating, and a dash of spirituality.</p>

the spirit of the holiday and a wish for familial harmony, Irene
Adler persuades her detective husband to invite his brother Mycroft

they think things may be going better than expected, ghosts of the
past crop up in unexpected ways and threaten to ruin the holidays for
everyone.</span></span></p>

Sherrinford was born and raised in Preston, Lancashire, and now
resides on The Fylde Coast with her husband John, and their four
children.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">An
avid reader from an early age, KD was fascinated by the stories of
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, she read the entire Doyle
Canon by the time she was 13.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">A
talented pianist, KD played piano from age six, the music of some of
her favourite composers, Beethoven, Schubert, Stephen Foster, and
Richard Wagner, all strongly feature in her novel.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"> <span face="Calibri, sans-serif">KD
had a varied early career, working with horses and racing greyhounds,
she and her husband won the Blackpool Greyhound Derby in 1987 with
Scottie.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Then
to mix things up KD joined Countrywide, where she was employed for
over 20 years and became a Fellow of The National Association of
Estate Agents.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Retirement
finally gave KD the opportunity to follow her dreams and start work
on her first novel. She gained inspiration to write” Song for
Someone” from her daughter Katie, after a visit to the Sherlock
Holmes museum on Baker Street in 2019. It had always been a passion
to write about Irene Adler, she is such an iconic character, and KD
wanted to give her a voice.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">KD
recently completed her second book in the Sherlock Holmes and Irene
Adler mystery series, “Christmas at The Saporis”, and is
currently working on the third.</span></p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>No one’s who they seem in the thrilling new Nick and Nora Mystery, and someone’s playing the part of a clever killer . . .</b>
</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When a nighttime soap opera comes to town to film an episode, no one’s more excited than Nora Charles, who’s landed the contract for catering the shoot. But if she thought the show’s plotlines were full of drama and intrigue, that’s nothing compared to what she witnesses among the cast and crew, who are sneaking off for secret liaisons one minute and at each other’s throats the next. It’s all a titillating behind-the-scenes look for Nora—until she stumbles across the body of the show’s slain director.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s not long before the local authorities finger the brother of Nora’s good friend for the evil deed, and it’s up to Nora and her sidekick Nick to get him off the hook. As she begins to sort out the cast’s romantic entanglements and professional rivalries looking for a motive, she also discovers that the victim was involved in the mysterious death of the show’s previous director.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And then another member of the crew is found murdered, and Nora knows she’ll have to act fast to figure out who’s playing the part of the killer, before she’s cast in the role of the next victim . . .</p></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><b>REVIEW</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A fabulous addition to the fun cozy mystery series. It can be read on its own but it is so much better if you have read them in order. It allows you the chance to get attached to all of the quirky residents of this adorable town. This time there is a bunch of excitement over a popular nighttime soap opera that is filming there. The soap comes with plenty of drama and infighting creating quite the environment but it just gets worse when Nora's kitty Nick finds the director murdered with the cops pointing at Jer friends brother. So of course Nora has to investigate with the help of her sidekick Nick creating a story that you won't want to put down. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.</div>

<p><b>Secretly</b><br /><b>Talya Blaine</b><br />(Transformation Series, #2)<br />Publication date: February 28th 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance</p><blockquote><p><i><b>Unquenchable chemistry. The rare gift of a second chance. Choices that could destroy it all.</b></i></p>
<p>Quinn and Jonathan’s erotic journey continues as sizzling tension tests their “friends for now” pact.</p>
<p>After a desperate call interrupts a failed platonic dinner—and a water main break renders Quinn homeless—she’s left with little choice: Take Jonathan up on his just-friends-no-benefits offer to share his apartment.</p>
<p>But getting closer? A romantic relationship? Not an option. Even after that one impulsive and magical but heartbreaking kiss.</p>
<p>Damn, that kiss. It tells Jonathan all he needs to know about Quinn’s feelings and only deepens his desire to build a life with her. Until her defensive walls throw him back into reality. The reality in which his sweet gig as Spice of Life’s travel show host is on the line. The reality in which he can’t fully accept Quinn’s involvement at Octavia’s dungeon. The reality in which the woman he adores is still grieving—and not ready to hear the three words he needs to say.</p>
<p>The second novel in the Transformation Series, Secretly turns up the heat: A secret trip to a Parisian chateau dungeon, a last-minute wedding to plan, a bold, perhaps impulsive, career decision. Quinn and Jonathan each make choices that alter the course of their lives. <i>Can they forge a shared future?</i></p>
<p>A story about discovery and desire, friendship and boundaries, freedom and risk. About the delicate balance between intimacy and autonomy. About the struggle to love again and how we choose to live the second chapter of our lives.</p>
<p>Friends to lovers, slow burn, second chance, fish out of water—readers will click with the themes in this edgy contemporary erotic romance. Features characters over 40 and a sexy beta hero. Mature themes, strong language, kink, dungeon and steamy open-door bedroom scenes.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">—</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Q&A with Talya Blaine:</b></p>
<p><i>How did you come up with the idea for Secretly?<br />
</i>As I was writing one of the later scenes in the previous book, <i>Silently</i>, the scene where Quinn is in the hospital and Jonathan climbs into bed with her and they talk–really talk–I realized there was too much growing between them for their story to end. After I finished writing <i>Silently</i>, that feeling continued–I could not get Quinn and Jonathan out of my head. So I began writing <i>Secretly,</i> and the two of them took it from there.</p>
<p><i>What was your favorite scene or theme in Secretly to write?<br />
</i>That’s easy. Wait, actually I have two favorites. The first is when… Hmm, how to say this without spoilers… The first is when Jonathan catches Quinn off guard at one point and she’s a sweaty mess in the summer heat, and she’s SO awkward with him. He gloats a bit rethinking it later, but in the moment he’s himself–sweet and sexy and relieved she’s not angry with him. They’re both so real with each other in that scene.</p>
<p>And the other scene I loved writing is when they think they see each other in Paris. During revisions, I was this close (pinching fingers together) to cutting it. But I kept it in and I believe the book is better for it. I think it shows that, at the end of the day, no matter what issues have arisen between them, they’re just really connected to each other.</p>
<p><i>What was the hardest scene or theme to write?<br />
</i>The hardest theme through all three books was Quinn’s grief. Although it lessens over time, it was difficult to balance showing the depth of her sorrow with keeping the story moving forward. In a way, I had to do the same thing to her that the characters were doing — trying to respect her feelings, her experience, her healing process while also nudging her on at a pace that felt “right” for the story.</p>
<p><i>Your blog says you love-love-love to read. What are you reading right now?<br />
</i>A funny, sharply written erotic romance with fake dating and multiple partners, <i>Mint to Be</i> by Madelynne Ellis, and I just finished–and am still thinking about (in the best way)–<i>Carrie Soto is Back</i> by Taylor Jenkins Reid.</p>
<p><i>What’s your writing routine like?<br />
</i>Writing routine. Hah, that’s a good one. I’m more of a fits and starts kind of girl. I wish I could say otherwise but that’s the truth. I don’t always write everyday. But when I’m in the middle of a draft, with the ideas clamoring to be put onto the page, I will write every single minute of the day that I can.</p>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"><b><span style="color: #674ea7;">Cragan Collins of The Friday Night
Mystery Club Explains: What Is in a Name?</span></b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> Decatur,
IL/1986</span></b></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"></span></p>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">People
never get my name right. It’s Cragan, pronounced CRAIG-in. Actually that’s my
middle name, but I come from a family full of Catherines, and rather than add
to the confusion, my Nana called me Cragan from the “git-go,” which is Southern
for “the start.”</span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"></span></p>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">One of my
elementary school teachers decided I should be called Kraken. Being a
respectful child, and intimidated by her large stature, I didn’t correct her.
Later, doing research on Pippi Longstocking, I discovered that a kraken is a
huge mythical sea monster that supposedly lives off the coast of Norway. I
still couldn’t bring myself to tell the teacher. When my mother found out how
my name was being slaughtered, Mom had a hissy fit (a redundant term but true
nevertheless).</span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"></span></p>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">In a
boiled peanut shell, that’s the story of my life. I tend to go along to get
along. Most of the time at least. All that changed when I divorced Tim Collins,
the TV sports anchor who is a celebrity here in town. For years, I overlooked
the enormous debts he’d run up. I swallowed my pride when he made fun of me,
and I meekly stood in his shadow because everyone knows television stars tend
to be temperamental. But the cheating? Well, that was too much. My friend Zahara
“Zee” Johnson explains it this way: <i>All of us drag around an imaginary
garbage can. We stuff it with our nasty feelings. When that big old can gets
full, look out!</i></span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"></span></i></p>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">You might
say I had a Dumpster-full even before Tim cheated on me, and I gave up when he
knocked over the bin. I didn’t respond to his infidelity with a tantrum; I
simply made an appointment with a divorce lawyer. That’s the charm of a woman
raised in the South. We’ll bite our lips, pinch our thighs, and do somersaults
rather than lose our dignity, no matter what. Our behavior stands in stark
contrast to that of other people I can name. People such as, Yakov “Yakky”
Pavolich, my boss, the head of advertising sales at <i>The Gazette.</i> Yakky
has the self-control of a toddler with an ear infection. Yakky once bit a taxi
driver in the arm because the cabbie got lost in downtown New York City. And
yes, before you ask, Yakky was inebriated at the time. (Sounds a lot classier
than stinking drunk, doesn’t it?)</span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"></span></p>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Zee can
get a little testy, too. When I do something she thinks is stupid, she comes
right out and says, “Cragan? You are some kind of fool.” Translation: <i>I love
you dearly.</i> Of course, in the South, we would say, “Bless your heart.”</span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"></span></p>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">It was Zee
who solved the problem of people mangling my name. “Why not tell them it rhymes
with Reagan, as in Ronald Reagan, our president?” she suggested. </span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;"></span></p>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">That
little trick changed my life. So allow me to introduce myself. I am
Cragan—rhymes with Reagan—Collins. Nice to meet you!</span></div>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Set in 1986, Joanna Campbell Slan’s latest cozy mystery—Tuesday Trash and Trouble--features a down-on-her-luck divorcée whose passion for solving crimes lands her in the arms of a secretive cowboy--and the cross-hairs of a vengeful killer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The year is 1986, the place is…pitiful. It’s Decatur, Illinois, known for high unemployment, striking unions, the pervasive stink of soybean processing, and seven railroad crossings at one intersection.
</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A wrong turn along life’s marital highway has left Catherine “Cragan” Collins stuck in Decatur. With a mountain of post-divorce bills to pay, Cragan takes a job selling high-priced newspaper advertising. If she’s lucky, her commissions will cover the cost of her grandmother’s stay in a nearby retirement home.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After the divorce, Cragan swears off men, but she’s a sucker for a guy in a nice suit. She falls hard for a man who publicly snubs her. On the rebound, she accepts an invitation from Ross Gentry, a quiet hunk who favors pearl snaps and cowboy boots. Cragan reasons that her heart is safe, because she and Ross come from two different worlds. But one night in his arms might be enough to prove her wrong.
</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Without warning, everything blows up in Cragan’s face. Her boss threatens to take away her accounts, a friend’s little sister is kidnapped, and an overnight guest is shot. Cragan’s best friend, Pru, is accused of attempted murder. After all, Pru’s gun was used in the crime.
</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cragan calls an emergency meeting of the Friday Night Mystery Club. These mystery-loving career women are a group of smart cookies. Can their combined talents prove that Pru is innocent? And will they find an answer in time to save Cragan from the wrath of a vengeful shooter? <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It takes a club to solve a mystery!</p></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><b>REVIEW</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">This is a great addition to this cozy series. Set in the 80s we get to visit the past with an interesting group of woman who are just trying to live their lives when they keep getting wound up in a murder investigation. Pru is accused of attempted murder making it necessary for them to call an emergency meeting where they combine their skills to find the truth. Makes for a fun well written cozy that will keep your attention until the very end to see how it all works out. A great choice for those looking for a good cozy set a little ways into the past. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.<br /></div>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Otherwise, Joanna’s a productive author with more than 80 written projects to her credit. Her non-fiction work includes how to books, a college textbook for public speakers, and books of personal essays (think Chicken Soup for the Soul).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Currently, she writes six fiction series: The <b>Kiki Lowenstein Mystery Series</b> (Agatha Award Finalist, contemporary, St. Louis setting, crafting), the <b>Cara Mia Delgatto Mystery Series</b> (contemporary, Florida setting, DIY, and recycling), the <b>Jane Eyre Chronicles</b> (Daphne du Maurier Award Winner, 1830s England, based on Charlotte Brontë’s classic), the <b>Sherlock Holmes Fantasy Thrillers</b> (late 1800s, based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s books), the <b>Tai Chi Mystery Series</b> (featuring a mature female amateur sleuth!) and the <b>Friday Night Mystery Series</b> (set in Decatur, IL in 1986 with a spunky female heroine.)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A former TV talk show host, college teacher, and public relations specialist, Joanna was one of the early Chicken Soup for the Soul contributors. She won a Silver Anvil for her work on the original FarmAid concert to benefit farmers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In her ongoing quest never to see snow again, Joanna lives with her husband and their Havanese puppy, Jax, on an island off the coast of Florida.

<span color="#"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Elizabeth
and Roger's children's book, Olive’s Birthday, has been a work in
progress for over 5 years. Life got in the way a bit as did running
around after their young children. Olive’s Birthday is the first
book in the 'Choosy Olive' series, which allows readers to choose how
the stories unfold. Elizabeth and Roger wanted to create something a
bit different in a picture book and are passionate about giving
children choices (within appropriate boundaries!) to empower them.
Elizabeth is an avid reader and will read anything and everything but
can barely go a day without an Agatha Christie fix. Roger loves
children's books and reading to their children and is partial to a
non-fiction. Elizabeth is Australian but has called England her home
for nearly two decades. Her and Roger (originally from Liverpool)
live in the Worcestershire countryside with their two children and
quite a lot of pets. When not writing or reading, they spend most of
their time washing mud off the children and the dog. </span></span>

mystery “A Deadly Combo” – a blend of traditional and cozy. The title refers to
a boxing combination of punches and hints to how the victim died.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <br /></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">I got the idea for the story when I attended my first vintage
trailerfest. I had so much fun going around to all the trailers and talking to
the owners who were dressed in "period correct” costume relative to the
year their trailer was built. Every owner invited me to go inside and look around.
I said to myself, “What a great place to discover a dead body!” And thus “A
Deadly Combo” was born.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p><p class="Default" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Because this was my first novel, I decided to have the
protagonist, Raquel AKA Rocky Nelson, be a little like me. The old adage “write
what you know” was true in that sense. I also patterned her father after my own
dad. He adds humor to the story. These two characters are the only people in
the story who are similar to anyone in real life. The rest of the cast are
completely made up. Soon after I started writing the story I decided to take
boxing lessons. So I gave Rocky boxing as a hobby. I still take boxing lessons
to this day. It’s a great way to stay in shape and I highly recommend it.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">Throughout the story the troubled relationship Rocky has with
her twin sister, Bridget, is front and center. The sisters lost their mother
when they were ten years old to suicide. Rocky found her after coming home from
school and has been in therapy most of her life. She and Bridget attend a
vintage trailerfest and when Bridget discovers the dead body of a local trailer
restorer, she becomes a person of interest. Rocky vows to proving Bridget’s
innocence and so, as Sherlock Holmes says, “The game is afoot”!</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <br /></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">The setting is in the Sierra Foothills of California,
specifically El Dorado County, about thirty minutes east of Sacramento. I know
the area well after having spent half my life there. I love describing the
countryside and the small towns where the story takes place. I hope the reader
is able to visualize the setting based on my description. I do my best to
engage all the senses so the reader feels they are “there” in every scene.
Hopefully they will “smell” the pungent aroma when Rocky gets sprayed by a
skunk while on one of her sleuthing forays!</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">“A Deadly Combo” is about Rocky doing what it takes to
protect the ones she loves. Her family is dysfunctional, as is mine. I don’t
feel there is such a thing as a “normal” family. Do you? In the course of Rocky’s
commitment to proving Bridget’s innocence, she rekindles the bond she has with
her sister, and at the same time is able to finally let go of the guilt she has
harbored over her mother’s passing.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p>
<p class="Default" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">The story is fast-paced, taking place over the course of
seven days. I hope you enjoy it.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>What do boxing and vintage trailers have in common? Rocky Nelson.</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Meet Raquel Nelson (AKA Rocky), a retired single woman with an attitude. In Rocky’s opinion, independent ruffians, relentless heat, wildfires, and unhealthy AQI are all part of living in the Sierra Foothills of California.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sisters Rocky and Bridget are enjoying each other’s company at a vintage trailerfest until they stumble over a corpse. The dead guy is none other than the local trailer restorer and Bridget was overheard threatening to kill him. Mounting evidence leads police to focus on Bridget as a person of interest. Desperate to prove her sister innocent of murder, Rocky dons her own deerstalker cap and goes sleuthing. Rocky knows a little about the job requirements, having caught her sister’s last husband in an illicit affair. Detective Thompson is on the case and isn’t happy about Rocky poking around, and lets her know in no uncertain terms. But Rocky is tenacious if not stubborn. Combined with a 78-year-old father who insists on assisting, Rocky uses her courage and skills from boxing lessons to protect her family and keep from becoming the killer’s next victim.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is the first book in The Rocky Nelson Boxing Mystery Series – a perfect series for lovers of small town mysteries with a cozy-noir feel featuring boxing and an amateur sleuth who will stop at nothing to save the lives of those she loves.</p></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><b>REVIEW</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">This is a really fun start to a new cozy mystery series. We meet Raquel better known as Rocky. She is an older lady but instead to needing help or anything she instead is a boxer at a local ring kicking behind every chance she gets. This makes her more then able to handle herself if she finds herself in danger which just may happen after she starts investigating a murder when her sister is accused of doing it. Whether they get along or not Rocky is not having that leading us along on an adventure that is funny at times while keeping you guessing all the way. I look forward to more in the series. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars. <br /></div>

<p><b>Blood Lovers</b><br /><b>J.A. Huss</b><br />(American Vampires, #1)<br />Publication date: February 28th 2023<br />Genres: Adult, Dark Romance, Paranormal, Romance</p><blockquote><p><i>The Devil craves beauty. Even in himself.<br />
</i><i>The vampire will make magnificent promises and I will say yes.<br />
</i><i>The man I give my heart to will steal my soul.</i><i> </i></p>
<p><b><i>Syrsee<br />
</i></b>My grandma gave me these words of wisdom just before she died.<br />
Then she told me to <i>run</i>.<br />
Because if the old witch is dying, then he needs a new one.<br />
And that’s me.<br />
This is my curse.<br />
I am the vampire’s power.<br />
I am the vampire’s strength.<br />
I am the vampire’s <i>food</i>.<br />
And he is very, very hungry.</p>
<p><b><i>Ryet</i></b><br />
I hate him, but I crave him.<br />
I want to be rid of him, but I also want him next to me.<br />
I want to feed on him and sometimes I dream about him feeding on me.<br />
It feels like a trick. Like abuse.<br />
Like Stockholm syndrome.<br />
But it’s not. It’s just… the <i>blood</i>.<br />
I am the vampire’s scion.<br />
I am the vampire’s slave.<br />
I am the vampire’s <i>future</i>.<br />
And he will never let me go.</p>
<p><b><i>Paul</i></b><br />
I am the vampire.<br />
Once you make a deal with me, it’s done.<br />
There’s no going back.<br />
Once I bite my lip—<br />
Once I bare my teeth—<br />
Once I let it drip—<br />
<i>He’s</i> mine.<br />
<i>She’s</i> mine.<br />
And together we are <i>blood lovers</i>.</p>
<p><b><i>Blood Lovers is a dark, seductive journey into a world where the blood runs black, the dreams are purple, and the demons aren’t just dangerous, they’re beautiful. Masterfully told by New York Times bestselling author, JA Huss—it’s a book that will change the lore forever.</i></b></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><b>EXCERPT:</b></p>
<p>“What do you want?”</p>
<p>“Why do you hate me?”</p>
<p>“That’s why you’re haunting me? You want to know why I hate you?” I blow out a breath. “How much time do you have?”</p>
<p>Paul stares at me for a long moment, his eyes the color of ice. They match his personality. “I have all the time you need, Ryet. Let’s hear it. Tell me all the ways in which I ruined your life.”</p>
<p>“No. Fuck you. You’ve got me running around these cabins like I’m one of your fucking bitches and now you’re invading my dreams. What are you doing? Spying on me?”</p>
<p>“Spying. Why are you so dramatic? I’m checking up on you. Did you find the girl?”</p>
<p>“No. I haven’t. I’ve been too busy remodeling your stupid cabins. If you want me to get back to it, say the word. I’d be happy to. But I’m not gonna look for your stupid feeder while you have me on a leash.”</p>
<p>“Like I said, I’m checking up on you.”</p>
<p>“Come check up on me in person. Don’t invade my dreams. It’s a violation.”</p>
<p>The corner of his lip turns up, like he wants to chuckle about my choice of the word ‘violation.’ But he knows better, and decides to change the subject. “I don’t care for the girl, do you?”</p>
<p>“Which girl?”</p>
<p>Now he narrows his eyes at me. “How many girls are you dealing with at the moment?”</p>
<p>“Two. But if you mean Isabella? No. I can’t stand her. She orders me around—”</p>
<p>“That’s why I don’t come in person. I just want her to pop that child out so I can take him somewhere else. I will not be playing house with this one for the next decade. She’s not my type. Perhaps I should give the boy back to Hutch? It is his child, after all.”</p>
<p>“Who the fuck is Hutch?”</p>
<p>“My current favorite slave. He’s so pretty, Ryet. Not as pretty as you, but my God. I could look at him all day.”</p>
<p>“Yeah, well. Isabella’s pretty too.”</p>
<p>“She is.” He chuckles. “But only on the outside. Which I can deal with.”</p>
<p>“You’re not dealing with her, Paul. You’re hiding like a fucking coward while I deal with her for you.”</p>
<p>“Do you think that’s what I’m doing?”</p>
<p>“Obviously.”</p>
<p>This is the point in the conversation when I realize that we’re actually having a conversation. I want to ignore him, but I can’t. Because the truth is, I fucking love him. And if someone came after him, I would kill for him. Die for him, if that was even possible.</p>
<p>I can’t decide if this is some kind of vampire magic he’s working or if it’s just his natural charm. I don’t have a big enough sample size to make that determination, so these feelings and talks are nothing but confusion on my end. Because no matter what he does to me, after a couple minutes of talking, I’m back in his corner. It feels like a trick. Like abuse.</p>
<p>Like Stockholm syndrome.</p>
<p>Of course, I know it’s the blood bond between us.</p>
<p>Blood lovers. That’s what he calls it.</p>
<p>I hate him, but I crave him.</p>
<p>I want to be rid of him, but I also want him next to me.</p>
<p>I want to feed on him and sometimes I dream about him feeding on me. Not just the little accidental drips, either. But fully latched on and sucking the blood out of me in rivers. And even though I try my best to not love the taste of him, I love the fucking taste of him. And if he were to bare his neck to me, I’d suck on him all night.</p>
<p>This thing between us is forever. And he’s here to remind me of that.</p>
