Mar 13, 2018 | Blog, Book Birthday, Chris Bohjalian, March 2018
The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian is a thriller with a dash of romance, international travel, and enough twists and turns to leave you on the edge of your seat until the last page. There is a certain expectation when reading a thriller that the secrets should be challenging enough to not reveal too much or the story isn’t worth reading. Fear not, there are enough secrets that the minute you flip the first page you are hooked and need to know…. you just need to know.
Cassie Bowden thrives on the thrill of adventure and lives on the edge, a lot. One night in Dubai gives way to an impulsive decision that impacts everyone on this global journey.
As Cassie’s layers unfold, she becomes so entwined in a web that leaves you with all the feels of your own personal thrill ride. Will it slow down? Only if I put the book down. Will it speed up? Remind yourself to breath. Can you anticipate the next move before the characters make it? I dare you ;).
Where there are secrets, there are those who can’t keep them. Betrayal is never from those you expect and admission of wrongdoing is a slippery slope to navigate. Every detail in this novel was thought out and when you are finished you will discover that Chris left nothing to chance.
Are you ready for an international thriller full of spies, travel, and intrigue? At some point you as the reader will come to a conclusion based on the facts, but have you looked at all the evidence? Do you really know who they key players are? Chris Bohjalian created a world where the reader, even one that is so aware of every little detail, will still not see the reveal until that final “BAM” moment.
As the book moves from chapter to chapter you will be presented with details as they unfold, in real time, and the cast of characters that Cassie meets is colorful and adds to her journey. Everyone has a purpose. Chris has created a world so vivid it’s as if they have extended their hands out of your e-reader and pulled you into their world. Bravo!
Chris, it’s an experience reading your novels, one that keeps me coming back again and again. It’s time for readers to take their seat and enjoy their flight with Cassie. I received and ARC from the publisher for a fair and honest review.
Spicy – Best enjoyed with your favorite iced-beverage, a cozy chair, and maybe a fan.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
Miranda:
The solid wood door swung out easily when I pulled, and my heart began beating a quicker rhythm as Chance’s distinctive low voice rolled out the open door of an office adjacent to the lobby.
“If it gets any worse, let me know, John. We’ll lend a hand.” I could see Chance’s back as he stood looking out the window behind his desk, the phone to his ear.
“Miranda. What’s up?” There was an office on each side of the small reception space, and Sam appeared from the side opposite Chance’s office, no doubt summoned by the bell above the front door.
“Hey Sam.” My eyes were locked on Chance’s broad back, a dark flannel pulled tightly across the muscles just below the curls that were beginning to form at the top of his tanned neck. I pulled my gaze away to land on Sam instead. His familiar face was hardly a comfort. Chance and Sam’s eyes were almost identical, and the angular cut of their cheekbones and jaws were similar too. Both Palmer brothers could have been carved from stone—they were that good looking.
Despite their similar faces, I swooned when Chance looked at me, and I definitely felt something when my eyes met Sam’s—only I wasn’t sure exactly what it was. He made me nervous. Not in a good way, but in a way that kept me on my toes. And the way he was staring at me now made me uncomfortable. Like he was trying to figure something out. I was suddenly regretting wearing my hair down.
Best get to the point. “I came in to ask about that job. The administrative one?” My fingers found the tassel on my purse and began pulling at it.
Sam stepped out of his office and squinted at me as one side of his mouth lifted in a half-smile. He looked confused, his face crinkling up. “Why?”
Annoyance flooded me. This was the problem with Sam. Nothing was straightforward. I sighed, turning to see if Chance might be done with his call and come out so I could speak to him instead. Of course then I’d be nervous instead of annoyed. “I thought I might be able to help out with that.”
“It’s not a ‘help out’ type of thing. It’s a job. And you already have a job. And you’re in school.” Sam leaned his tall body against the door jam of his office and crossed his big arms over his broad chest. He gave off an air of judgment that put me on edge. And of course he was being difficult about something that could be simple.
“But Chance said it was part time?”
“What part of the time do you see yourself being here?” He was smiling now and I got the distinct impression he was toying with me. I shifted my weight uncomfortably as I stood there, in Maddie’s khaki pants and flowered blouse. The clothes had me feeling a bit unlike myself, and now I was standing here like an idiot in the middle of the room and Sam was being difficult. I had no doubt Chance would have offered me a seat. He was the polite brother. Sam was just watching me, like I was put there to amuse him.
“The part of the time when you guys need me, I guess.” My voice didn’t carry the confident edge I wanted it to, so I cleared my throat and continued. “I can rearrange my diner shifts if I need to, and college is online. I do most of my work at night anyway.”
“Right.” Sam chewed on his bottom lip for a second and then something about his fingernails caught his attention. He brought his hand to his face and rubbed his thumb against his index finger, looking intently at it. Finally he tucked his hand back under the opposite elbow and looked back up at me. “Okay.” He stood upright again and turned around to head back into his office, leaving me standing in the middle of the room.
Okay? What did that mean?

Playing the Pauses is your VIP ticket for The Red Letters as they embark on a rock & roll tour of self discovery and adventure. Are you ready for an all-access, exclusive VIP behind the scenes ticket?
As a last minute replacement, new Tour Manager Kate Madsen discovers that the only thing that might jeopardize her current working situation will be living with her 24/7. Armed with funny one-liners, a creative imagination and a little self control, she Kate lays it all on the line. If the band wants to salvage their financial future, they’re going to need to trust her to clean up what her predecessor has left for her, a teeny tiny mess. Will they take her advice? Will she earn their trust?
Congrats to Michelle as the chemistry between the characters is fluid. Danny O’Neil is the perfect rockstar hero, covered in sexy tattoos, a musical genius with his guitar, he is bold and up until now, stayed mysterious.
Kate’s job is to take care of the band, but when her cravings tempt her into one night of sin, will she give in or play it safe? who will tempt who? Oh…let the games begin.This book adventure is every rock groupies fantasy, a glimpse into the life of a musician on the road. Are you ready?
One little secret will have the power to end the tour or destroy a few careers, will it stay under wraps? Will Danny jeopardize his future or push the one person he loves away? Will they resist the pull or will they find a way to explore the explosive charge between them.
Michelle writes witty dialogue with layers of surprises like a dark chocolate cake. It’s smooth, rich, and every bite entices you for more. I will never look at a hotel balcony the same way again and neither will you. Note this story contains elements of BDSM and is for mature readers 18+, and is sure to lead to a one-click for the first installment in this series.
Scorchin – Caution, may lead to unexpected need to turn on the A/C.
I received this book from Barclay Publicity for a fair and honest review. ** While I have not read previous books in this series, this book can be read as a standalone. Please note that it does contain spoilers for earlier books in the series. **

** Author Bios **
Sawyer Bennett: Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released multiple books, many of which have appeared on the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.
Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active daughter, as well as full-time servant to her adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or even better, both.
Sawyer also writes general and women’s fiction under the pen name S. Bennett and sweet romance under the name Juliette Poe.
Shana Galen: Shana Galen is a three-time Rita award nominee and the bestselling author of passionate Regency romps, including the RT Reviewers’ Choice The Making of a Gentleman. Kirkus says of her books, “The road to happily-ever-after is intense, conflicted, suspenseful and fun,” and RT Bookreviews calls her books “lighthearted yet poignant, humorous yet touching.” She taught English at the middle and high school level off and on for eleven years. Most of those years were spent working in Houston’s inner city. Now she writes full time. She’s happily married and has a daughter who is most definitely a romance heroine in the making.
Christi Barth: USA TODAY bestselling author Christi Barth earned a Masters degree in vocal performance and embarked upon a career on the stage. A love of romance then drew her to wedding planning. Ultimately she succumbed to her lifelong love of books and now writes award-winning contemporary romance, including the Naked Men and Aisle Bound series.
Christi can always be found either whipping up gourmet meals (for fun, honest!) or with her nose in a book. She lives in Maryland with the best husband in the world.
Mar 7, 2018 | Blog, Blog Tour, Delancey Stewart, March 2018
Love Reimagined by Delancey Stewart is the second installment in the Kings Grove series and is nestled in the heart of the Sequoias. Once again, this story is like those tall, beautiful trees, it wraps around your heart tight and it’s roots are deep. One visit, and you are forever changed standing among the trees. It’s time to visit Kings Grove.
Miranda George longs for the one boy she can’t have. When a declaration launches her into a new job, she will discover that perhaps the man she’s lusted after all these years might actually not be the one her heart professes to love. Upon a closer look at his younger brother, a surprise twist to her feelings takes root. Miranda will discover there is no plan to falling in love.
Sam Palmer has lived longing for the woman who has pined for his brother for years. One mistake has prevented him from being with Miranda, and the memories of that painful night that everything went wrong. The past still haunts him, heartbroken and yearning to be forgiven when the truth still says buried. There’s just one problem, every time he walks within airspace of Miranda, he can’t say anything nice and most probably comes across as an utter a$$hole. Will he redeem himself before he loses her forever?
Just when you think you have it all figured out Delancey throws a curveball and it threatens to destroy the very heart of the town. When Sam finally decides to trust his heart he’ll have to act fast before it’s too late. This story is about family, friendship and unconditional love. Can Sam finally fix the past and mend his heart? Will Sam find a way to connect with his brother and capture Mirandas heart? An epic story where the past will become the present and you might find yourself packing it all up to move to Kings Grove.
Sinfully Sweet – Hotter than sweet with bedroom romance that tingles in all the right places, and a dash of spice to satisfy that slightly spicy craving.
I received this book by the author for a fair and honest review. While it’s part of a series it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend reading both books in this series for a book adventure this week. Both books are perfectly priced for release week.
