Escape to Miami in What It’s Worth by Lynne Silver. A bartender, a rock star blazing the tabloid headlines, and a plan so crazy it will change the lives of two people forever.
Bartender Carlos Acosta could’ve had any woman that walked into his bar, until a wild chick appears at his club. Now, he’s ruined for anyone else and their encounter is hot-hot-hot.
Dakota Starr needs to hush the tabloid rumors, or does she? A plan is in motion to set the record straight, will the sexy bartender help her or tell all to the waiting paparazzi? Everyone has a price, who will fold first?
Are you ready for a world where trust, friendship, and the truth are essential like the oxygen we breathe? Carlos and Dakota must prove their worth, to themselves, their family and each other. Can the attraction withstand the spotlight? Will they find love? Both will need to deal with family expectations, admitting their deepest desires, and be able to stand on their own to find love.
Lynne is a powerful writer that’s mastered the ability to bring us into a world that makes us feel everything, all at once, and crave more. Within this story her characters are layered with raw emotion, traditions, and the need to find their true north. It’s a perfect recipe that will make you laugh, cry, and melt before the last page.
Another sizzling story in just 20,000 words will ignite your e-reader. Yup. It’s a hot one. 
This story sizzles, has content for mature readers 18 + and is very addictive ;). I received this ARC from the author for a fair and honest review.

The weekend is here and that means in less than 48 hours Outlander Season 3, Episode 5 will air on TV screens across the country. If you are a fan of the show, don’t miss Denny S. Bryce as she recaps on the Happy Ever After website.
Denny’s weekly blog post gives an honest summary with noteworthy facts that are insightful, and spot on. It’s the little details she brings to light that help watchers digest and process everything we’ve just witnessed.
However, the post contains spoilers so please don’t read the article if you haven’t watched the current aired episode.
Are you a fan? Are you watching? I highly recommend the book and the series. I am absolutely pleased with Starz and their interpretation of Jamie, Claire and the world of Outlander. The team of writers and actors have done an amazing job staying true to the series. I hope that we will have many more seasons of Outlander to watch.

Worthwhile by Lynne Silver is set in Miami where the nights are full of action with complex characters that are addictive and keep you reading till the very last page. This story has all the feels that make Miami sizzle. Get your party clothes on, the club is packed with music that will keep you dancing for hours, the men are hot, and the chemistry is even hotter.
Olivia Rodriguez comes from a family that is overprotective and controlling, in a loving-sorta-way. When an opportunity falls into Olivia’s lap, it forces her to make a choice that will involve risks and adventure. I love how daring Olivia is despite the environment she grew up in, and her ability to take a chance despite the consequences is admirable.
Drew Weaver must overcome the daemons that haunt him, and family expectations impact his choices. Can he separate the two? If not, he just might push away the one thing he wants. Drew will bring Olivia to her knees, how she responds depends on whether or not she’s ready to be honest. Will she start living life the way she desires?
The weekend is fast approaching and it’s time to add a lot of heat to your e-reader. With a dash of faith and a sprinkling of trust, this relationship promises to be intense and intoxicating. The infusion of language, culture and hotness that makes Miami so special adds to the essence of the story. It sizzles. Lynne’s writing leaves you wanting more and that’s a great thing because What It’s Worth just released and it’s time for more. You are worthy of reading this series and your e-reader will thank you!
This story sizzles, has content for mature readers 18 + and is very addictive ;). The latest installment released today and I will be posting my review soon. I received this ARC from the author for a fair and honest review.

Oct 4, 2017 | Avery Flynn, Blog, October 2017
The Charmer (Harbor City Series) by Avery Flynn is a modern twist of My Fair Lady. Henry and Eliza step aside, it’s time for Hudson and Felicia. After reading this story, I hope you find your passion, it’s going to inspire you ;)!
Hudson Carlyle has met the one woman who isn’t swayed by his usual “charm” and swagger. He’s about to find out what it means to truly desire one woman. His world is about to flip upside down.
Felicia Hartigan has her heart set on one man and enlists help from Hudson to achieve her goal. Will Felicia stay focused? I adore Felicia’s sense of humor, a passion for her job that rivals corporate CEO’s and her view of the world. It’s sure to inspire.
A family with secrets is bound to cause scandal. No time for love? Call in the matchmakers. Career aspirations not in line with the family expectations? It’s time for Hudson to find love and Felicia just might be the one to mold him into the man he’s meant to be.
Avery Flynn reels you in with witty dialogue, the kind you laugh out loud your chest aches. Charming characters and hot chemistry for this lesson in love. If you are reading this story on your e-reader watch for possible spontaneous combustion from the smokin’ hot banter between Hudson and Felicia.
When Hudson falls for Felicia he will risk everything just to be with her. Will she accept him for who he is? Will he make the ultimate sacrifice and finally trust? This is one book adventure you won’t want to end.
While this book can be read as a standalone, I preferred to read it after consuming The Negotiator. Fun, meddling mischief and more from Avery Flynn. If you find yourself seeking out an art class, you can blame Hudson ;). Be sure to post pictures on social media and tag Avery ;).
This spicy latte read is four peppers hot for full on, no holds barred sensuality and situations. It’s for mature readers 18+.

I received this ARC from the author for a fair and honest review.
Excerpt:
Hudson had never been more thoroughly ignored by a woman in his entire life. Women loved him. He was funny, charming, and knew exactly what to do to with his tongue to make a woman’s toes curl and her eyes roll back in her head as she screamed her thanks to God, the fates, and anyone in between that he’d been born with a mouth like that. Plus, he had more money than some island nations. That in itself usually got him a slow, appreciative look.
However, Felicia—she of the black burlap-sack of a dress, messy hair, perfect bone structure, and mysterious something in her eyes that only a paintbrush could figure out, had attention for Tyler alone. For his part, Captain Clueless was too busy scoping out everyone else at the fundraiser to notice. It chapped Hudson’s ass and made him even more curious—and if that wasn’t karma telling him to go fuck himself, then he didn’t know what was.
About the Author:
Avery Flynn is an award winning, USA Today bestselling romance author. She has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip.
She was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.

Oct 4, 2017 | Blog, Coffee With, October 2017, Terry Spear
Rae: Thank you so much for hanging out with me today.
Terry: Thanks for having me, Rae!!
Rae: If we were meeting at a coffee shop I’d be drinking a spiced latte with Coconut Milk. 🙂 ! What would you order?
Terry: White Mocha latte (peppermint mocha when in season–sometimes some places will even have it out-of-season! I love those places. )
Rae: As fall is underway, do you have any traditions? Do you decorate the house with the change of season?
Terry: Yes! I decorate for fall. Love to do that, and then for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July. 🙂 I usually 
decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving, but since my son and his girlfriend are coming, I’ll decorate for Christmas before they arrive. My daughter and son-in-law and now baby, always get together for a special Halloween.
Rae: For those who are not familiar with your work, your backlist includes Highlanders, Shifters and stuff in-between, please tell us a little bit your series. Where do you find your inspiration?
Terry: I’m an eclectic reader so I’m an eclectic writer. I write everything from straight romantic suspense to historical romance, shifter romance, vampire, romance, and teen paranormal romance.
My Highlanders were a result of my love of all things historical–books, movies, and we have Highland heritage, both MacNeills, Campbells as the main Highland Scots. So I was doing a lot of genealogy on them, and they were inspired by the Duke of Argyle’s daughter running off with a commoner MacNeill (family history).
With the wolf series, I had started out with vampires: everyone needs to be loved. And I felt the same way with werewolves. I had also loved reading Call of the Wild and White Fang by Jack London and loved the wolves when I was a kid. So I wanted to create a world where the werewolves were born that way, or turned, but they were wolves like the real ones, not monsters, yet still had their human sensibilities, and as humans, their wolf senses. Jaguar, cougar, and polar bear shifters have followed, and they’re like that too–I try to pattern their behavior after their wild animal, but at the same time, their human counterpart tends to override certain of their characteristics. For instance, wolves live in packs, Jaguars, cougars, and polar bears don’t. So to make it work they need to rely on their human half to be more family oriented.
I also have a popular teen fae series. If you have any trouble at all, blame the fae. They’re probably at the root of it. I have vampire teen romance also, but haven’t had enough time to write more sequels, but it’s on the agenda. 🙂
Rae: How do you keep all of your characters from crossing over into other books? Do you have a series “bible” or do you have files of notes?
Terry: I have a bible, but don’t keep up with it well enough. I either have to do find and searches, or I have a wonderful critique partner and good friend, Donna Fournier, who helps to keep me straight. I had just finished a book, she and others had proofread it and in the middle of the night she woke to remember one of the female operatives (wolf) was pregnant, and I couldn’t have her chasing down villains in the jungle. Oops. I had to write other characters and a bunch of new scenes to change that scenario, but she is an absolute godsend! lol
Rae: When you are writing a book, do you plot it out page by page, chapter by chapter? Or, do your characters guide you?
Terry: Absolutely my characters drive me. It drives me nuts when they go silent on me. If I try to force them to talk, it doesn’t work. And when they do, I have to hurry and write because they’re not going to repeat what they have to say.
Rae: What can we expect to see on the bookshelves in 2017? Do you have any new series in the works that you can give us a tease?
Terry: I’m hoping to have My Highlander available this year. Dreaming of a White Christmas is coming in October, and I hope to have another polar bear shifter story by Dec. But that’s a lot of writing and I’m running out of time. 🙂 I’m finishing up writing Billionaire Wolf Christmas for next October (2018), and I’ll be getting more edits on the other two books that are finished: All’s Fair in Love and Wolf, and Flight of the White Wolf.
Rae” You are a fabulous photographer posting images on social media, what do 
you use to take them? Your cell phone or a digital camera?
Terry: Thanks so much! I use my cell phone and a Nikon D750. I love taking photos!!! It’s like with writing. If I don’t get to take pictures every day, and write, I feel like my day isn’t complete! I’m not fulfilled. 🙂
Rae: It was so much fun having you here today!
Terry: Thanks so much for having me, and the mocha was delicious. 🙂

**** Tasty Tidbits ****
1. What is a must read book and why? I’m reading Tinderbox by Rachel Grant. I was in the military and the heroine is dealing with the military while she’s trying to collect fossils in the volatile region of Ethiopia. I love action, and she’s got plenty of it.
2. What is one place that I should see if I visit your hometown? They have the largest urban park in the States. You can walk it for miles. I love nature preserves and hikes.
3. Do you take-in or cook? If so, what is your “go-to” dish? Cook. A good steak and boiled potato and broccoli. M&Ms to top it off.
4. What is one thing readers would be surprised to know about you? I love playing RPGs. I’m working on Divinity: Original Sin, love the quests, the fights, solving puzzles and mysteries, and righting the wrongs. 🙂
5. Hard Rock or Classical? Favorite Band or Artist? Movie theme music, Game of Thrones
6. If you had an all expenses paid trip anywhere in the world for research, where would you go? I would go to Scotland for a month. 🙂 Absorb everything, see all the castles (I’ve seen about twelve, a few a couple of times), and then be able to sit and write by a babbling brook. 🙂
7. What is your guilty pleasure? Chocolate
8. What are you afraid of? Heights (Did rappelling, mountain climbing, slide for life, rope drop, but heights get to me)
9. Tats or No Tats? If tats, how many and what did you choose for your first one? No tats
10. Organized or Free Floating? * Organized!
11. Binge watcher or weekly viewer? Which show(s)? Binge watching then don’t watch anything for a long time, concentrate on writing. The Walking Dead, The Last Ship, The White Queen, Game of Thrones, Quantico.
12. What’s on your playlist? Movie themes like the Bourne series, and game themes like Halo and others. I like the adventure, suspense music for mood when I’m writing.
13. What play or musical do you want to see next? Nutcracker
14. Are you a crafter? Award winning teddy bears!
15. What’s your favorite TV show and why? I loved The White Queen and hated that it only had the one season. Adventure, intrigue, paranormal, historical, romance, it had it all.
16. If you could pick a book you’ve read and make it into a movie, which book would it be (besides yours 🙂 )? Karen Moning’s The Immortal Highlander.
17. What’s your favorite movie of all time and why? Romancing the Stone–he was so cocky and she was such a fun character, a romance writer who had fans even among the bad guys.
18. Would you rather see a movie in the theater or at home on DVD and why? I have Netflix now, yay! Where I lived before, we didn’t have powerful enough internet. But I LOVE to see movies with my kids when we can do it.
19. What is the one thing you can’t live without? A computer and internet
20. If you could invite 5 people to dinner (not friends and family – that’s too easy) who would be at your table? Christine Feehan, Karen Marie Moning, Sandra Brown, Sean Connery, Gerald Butler
21. If you could try any career for a day, what would it be? I had the hardest time with this. And then I thought it’s the simplest thing ever: A world class photographer!
22. Person you admire and why? Stephen King. He threw Carrie in the trash and his wife retrieved it for him. He’s an excellent writer and speaker. One of the scariest movies I ever saw was The Shining, and I’m going to see that hotel when I go to the conference in the area.
Rae: Thanks again for hanging out! Time for another spiced latte 🙂
Terry: Thanks again, Rae!
Rae: Happy Reading Dear Readers. Happy Writing Terry
