A river divides Cottonbloom in two:
the upscale enclave on the Mississippi side and the rundown, rough and tumble
side in Louisiana. They’re worlds apart—but nothing can build a bridge like
love…
Cade Fournette never had it easy Cottonbloom. He stuck around long enough to
raise his orphaned siblings and then hightailed it out West—and never looked
back. Even though he’s made a success of himself in Seattle, Cade never lost
the toughness and the angry edge that helped him survive down South. His only
weak spot: the girl he left behind…
Monroe Kirby came from the wealthy side of town, but that didn’t protect her
from her mother’s drinking—or her mother’s boyfriend. It was Cade who did that,
on a long-ago hot September night, before he disappeared…along with a piece of
her heart. Now Monroe is a physical therapist who can fight for herself, and
it’s Cade who could use some conditioning when he makes an unexpected return
back home. Will he and Monroe pick up where they left off and finally explore
their mutual passion—or will the scars and secrets of the past divide them once
more?

An award-winning
author, Laura Trentham was born and raised in a small town in

convinced an English degree equated to starvation. She chose the next most
logical major—Chemical Engineering—and worked in a hard hat and steel toed
boots for several years.

first two books of her Falcon Football series were named Top Picks by RT Book
Reviews magazine. When not lost in a cozy Southern town or Regency England,
she's shuttling kids to soccer, helping with homework, and avoiding the Mt.
Everest-sized pile of laundry that is almost as large as the to-be-read pile of
books on her nightstand.
Audrey Kelly finds her way back
home to Crystal Valley with her bruised pride and a shattered dangerous past
mocking her rear view mirror. What she didn’t expect was to be face-to-face
with Adam Parker, resident bad boy, sexy Navy SEAL and one of the reasons that
Audrey ran all those years ago.
Audrey was the last person Adam
had ever expected to see back in Crystal Valley. Over a decade ago, they shared
a sizzling night together before he received the worst news of his life and he
hasn’t seen her since…until she’d moved back unexpectedly. She was no longer
the sweet innocent girl he once remembered, but Adam has his own problems
without having to deal with Audrey’s ice princess recital, no matter how
tempting the auburn haired seductress may be.
Sparks begin to ignite between
them but can they accept Audrey’s past when it threatens to engage them in a
dangerous twist? Can they save each other from themselves and stop running once
and for all?

Wheeler how to put on a well-mannered performance—when she’s not bored and
looking for trouble. Lady Grantham’s is behind her and now it's time for Amelia
to keep her promise to her dying mother: marry a title and leave her wild days
behind.
That promise would be much easier to
keep if Nate Smythe hadn’t just reappeared in a London ballroom. The son of an
impoverished sailor, Nate—Natty, as he used to be called—has grown up to become
handsome, rich and polished. He claims to be looking for a proper bride who can
advance his business interests, but that doesn’t stop him from seeking out

simmering passion is the least of Amelia's problems—one of her titled suitors
is hiding a desperate secret that could stop Amelia from pleasing her parents
or finding happiness with Nate. As a weeklong house party threatens to derail
her hard-won future, Amelia must decide: fight against disaster or act like the
lady she's promised to become?

Doing a good deed never felt so bad
Deputy Sheriff Michael Keane doesn't particularly enjoy being touted as the hero of Hidden Springs after pulling a suicidal man back from the edge of the Eagle River bridge in front of dozens of witnesses--a few of whom caught the breathtaking moments with their cameras. But the media hype doesn't last long as a new story pushes its way into the public consciousness of Hidden Springs' concerned citizens.
Photos of a dead girl arrive in the mail, and Michael becomes convinced she was murdered by the man he saved. With a killer one step ahead, things in Hidden Springs begin to unravel. Now Michael must protect the people he loves--because the killer could be targeting one of them next.

My review;
Everyone has started calling the Deputy Sheriff,Michael Keane, of Hidden Springs a hero. There were a lot of people watching when a man who wanted to commit suicide by jumping in a river and he pulled him out. After a short while Michael was sent a picture of a girl who is dead. Now, Michael thinks that the same man who was going to jump is the one who killed her. Now what is Michael going to do? The killer could be after any or all of them? Who is trying to kill more people and Michael has to find him and then stop him or her before more people are killed. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book for a review by Revell Publishing Company and all opinions are mine.

COULD
THE WRONG MAN ON PAPER BE THE PERFECT MAN IN REAL LIFE?
Cate Harmon likes lists. While this
may serve her well as a financial planner, her girlfriends think that creating
a checklist for her ideal man is going a step too far. But she has one, and
she’s sticking to it.
Cate has always dreamed of starting
a family and settling down and yet she’s the only one of her close knit
friendship group still unattached. But that doesn’t mean she’s going to lower
her standards.
Enter Dave, a reformed bad boy with
gorgeous hair and eyes the wrong color. Dave doesn’t tick any of the boxes on
Cate’s list. It’s unthinkable that she would develop feelings for him, and yet
… Cate finds herself being drawn to Dave in a way she’s never felt before.
Will Cate confront the reasons
behind her list? Or will she risk losing a man who could be better than any
list she could ever dream up?
This
romance where opposites attract is perfect for fans of Rachel Gibson, Susan
Mallery, Victoria Dahl, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
Excerpt
I
handed him a few of our brochures and outlined the steps and costs
involved in preparing a financial plan. I was careful to stress that
it would be a long-term relationship. And that we’d be reviewing
the plan regularly and reassess things if need be.
When I
was finished, I offered him another smile. “Do you have any
questions?”
“Why
you?”
I
hesitated, then forced myself to straighten in my seat. He was a
potential client, like any other, I reminded myself. “It’s not
just me you’ll be working with,” I explained, “there’s a team
of us.”
“I
know. But why should you be my main point of contact?”
I gave
him an odd look. In the last twelve months, I’d had to sell myself
and the firm’s services numerous times. Up until now though, no one
had ever been so direct. I straightened in my seat. If he preferred
direct, I’d give him direct.
“I’m
a qualified tax accountant with a decade of experience working on the
accounts of small to medium businesses. Last year I completed my
diploma in financial planning. I’m retentive enough to never miss
the detail but my experience means I’m good at the bigger picture,
which is important when building a solid financial plan.”
“I
read your bio on the website.”
“Oh,
of course,” I said, flustered. He’d researched me beforehand.
Completely understandable but disturbing nonetheless. Not to mention
the cheesy image of me on the company’s website that I hated. “What
else would you like to know?”
“What
are you like to work with?”
I
thought carefully for a moment. “I’m very pleasant to deal with.”
“Pleasant?”
He smirked at me, and for the first time that day, those golden eyes
seemed to light up.
Oh
God, I had not just said that. Yes, it was the truth, but sometimes
the truth sounded lame. “I’m also very responsive,” I said, a
tad defensively.
OK, so
he was grinning at me now.
“What
I mean,” I said slowly, “is that I’m always available to talk.
I make a point of making time for my clients.”
Dave
nodded and appeared to be trying to swallow his grin.
I’d
had enough. Yes, he was a potential client and a particularly
attractive man, but he couldn't just come in here and make fun of me.
I was damn good at my job, and the fact was, the relationship between
a financial planner and a client worked both ways.
I
crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at him. “What are you like to
work with?”
His
smile faded at the challenging tone of my voice. “I’m sorry?”
“You,
Dave. How am I going to find having a relationship with you?” I bit
my lip. Whoops. Professional
relationship, I
desperately wanted to add, but it was too late now. I felt myself
flush. Way to go, Cate.
His
lips were twitching again. “I’m pretty easy going.”
“Sometimes
that’s another word for lazy,” I shot back. OK, so perhaps that
wasn’t quite so professional of me.
His
eyebrows shot up, and I think he looked impressed. “No, Cate, I’m
not lazy. I just learned a while back there’s only a few things in
life that are worth getting really worked up about.”
Was he
saying I was worked up? I didn’t care. “That’s it? You’re
easy going?”
His
smile was accompanied by a soft rumbling laugh. It was one of those
smiles. I wasn’t sure if it was the sound of his deep chuckle or
that he was offering me a rare glimpse of his happy face, but either
way, it was enough to make a girl lose her breath altogether and
clench her toes. And possibly other parts of one’s body, but I
wasn’t going to think about that right now.
Once
Dave was finished laughing at me, he rubbed a hand over his mouth,
like he was trying to wipe the smile off his face. He had nice lips.
He had quite a wide mouth and his lips weren’t really thick or too
thin. They were just nice looking lips.
And I
was sitting in my office, opposite a potential new client, assessing
the virtues of his lips. Back
to earth, Cate, I
scolded myself inwardly.
He was
still rubbing his lips thoughtfully.
Stop
it! I wanted to
shout.
To my
relief, he dropped his hand. “I won’t lie, Cate. It can take a
while to get to know me, but once you do, you’ll find I’m a
decent sort of guy. I don’t enter into relationships lightly, so
you can be sure if I choose you, I’ll be in it for the long-term.”
I
stared at him. I knew, with every logical bone in my body, that he
was referring to a professional relationship, but then why didn’t
it feel like it?

Four
months ago, fire breathing dragons invaded Earth from an alternate
dimension, wreaking havoc on modern civilization. Bailey Monzac has
been training to kill them ever since discovering she was impervious
to their flames, but when some of the beasts begin targeting
children, she can’t hold back any longer and must hunt them down.
Her
ally, Aidan, would help, except the shape-shifter has his own
troubles. His clan is battling for territory against the pure
dragons and his father—their leader—is dying. As the shifters
fight for the pendragon position, fierce rivalry takes over. Aidan’s
own brothers aren’t above blackmail and murder if it will get them
to the top. He must stay one step ahead if he is to survive and keep
his clan safe from the pure dragons who threaten them all.
Bailey
and Aidan may be natural-born enemies, but working together might be
the only thing that saves them from the danger that lies ahead.

My review;
"Every Bride Has Her Day" by author Janice Thompson is part of the bridal series by her called Brides With Style. This is Book 3 in this fantastic series. In this book Katie Fisher has just been asked by Brady James to marry him. The news is barely out when everyone she knows has their ideas and opinions. This is supposed to be her wedding isn't it? Katie's problems just go on and on as they cannot seem to understand that she has her own thoughts. Will this affect their future marriage? is a really nice story about family, love and trying to keep everything together. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishing Company and all opinions are mine.
From Titans (Book #4) by Mary Ting
Everyone is searching for Mason.
Zeus sent Hermes, and the Oracles have used their magic, with no success. A sparkle of hope arises when Eris, the goddess of Chaos, sends an invitation to her wedding engagement party. She’s holding Mason hostage, and Skylar and her friends only need permission to enter Eris’s world to rescue him.
At the party, Eris gives them one condition: In exchange for Mason, they must travel to the Land of Reverse and bring back the bottle of gold water King Midas used to wash himself free of his gift. Further chaos follows when Eris not only sets up a hunt in the Labyrinth of Crete, but makes a bargain with the Titans she rescued.
The Titans possess power more than anyone anticipated, and Cronus is hungry for revenge after his own children locked him up in Tartarus. No one is safe. Not even the humans.

Excerpt
“Mason, MASON, MASON!” Skylar panicked.
“I know. Skylar, hold on tight. I’m going to brake.”
“But there are cars behind us.”
“We have no choice. Don’t worry. I got this.” Mason pushed down on the brake forcefully. The car hydroplaned to the right. “Hold on.”
Skylar gripped the first thing her hand found. The water from the road jetted up into the air like in a water show, but the car kept gliding sideways, until finally it spun in a full circle and stopped. With no time to waste, Mason turned it to the right and accelerated, hoping to dodge what was coming toward them.
Out of nowhere, a long piece of ice, taking the form of a spear, darted through the trucks’ tires and punctured some of them. More ice spears came soaring out of the rain, but this time ten or more sphere-like ice balls followed, denting the sides of the trucks. One went through a windshield. With flat tires, the trucks now glided as if skating on ice, maneuvering from side to side.
“Did you do that?” Skylar asked excitedly.
“No. Must be Poseidon’s kids. Where the hell are they?” Mason spread his right arm out in front of Skylar as if to protect her. “Bend down, Sky.”
One of the trucks hit another and veered off, hitting yet another one. The crash caused the trucks to flip and tumble, heading straight for Mason’s car. With a look of shock, Skylar held her breath. There was no time to move, think, or get out of the car, so she closed her eyes and prepared for the crash.
Seconds before impact, Mason’s car flew up into the air and over the trucks. Somehow, as if by magic, the water created a liquid bridge, guiding the car safely over, and then it thumped hard onto the ground on the other side. Without looking back, Mason sped away as the sound of screeching brakes and metal hitting metal blasted behind them.
