New Release ~ LENNOX by Dale Mayer

 

LENNOX

(The Mavericks, Book 10)

by

Dale Mayer

Planning to meet his sister in Germany, but, when she’s a no-show, Lennox has his first inkling that trouble has come home in a big way …

~ Blurb ~ 

When his sister and her best friend go missing, Lennox is determined to find and to keep his only family member safe … and her best friend. They were both doctors, traveling the globe with the UN. Lennox was proud of his sister’s accomplishments. He’d never tried to hide their relationship, thinking no one from Lennox’s Navy SEALs past cared—or was still alive. Only now someone has decided to use Lennox’s only family as a way to exact revenge.

Helena is caught up in a kidnapping of Lennox’s sister, all designed to get back at Lennox—the most infuriating man she’s ever met. And one she’s cared for since forever. Now to know she was used as a trap to kidnap his sister and to take him out was the worst kind of punishment. But she knew this man. Knew him intimately—if only once—but also knew he was coming to rescue them, even if it meant losing his own life.

Lennox wasn’t letting the only two women in his world be taken out without a fight, … especially one who didn’t even know how he felt …

Hello, gentle readers! 

I am writing this blog on Monday, Labor Day, here in the United States, a day set aside to celebrate hard working men and women. In times past, this is a day usually reserved for barbecues and pool parties, but in the midst of this pandemic, we’ve all turned to doing other things, celebrating in other ways to mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus.

Do I miss visiting friends? Yes. Do I miss going into the office to work? If I’m being honest, yes and no (I will admit that there are some things I like about working from home – with no one here to see me except my DH and the dogs, I complete my duties in an old t-shirt and shorts – definitely not appropriate for the office). 

So how am I celebrating this holiday? By doing what I love to do when I have some time off…cook and watch movies. And what movie did I watch this morning while my newest batch of spaghetti sauce was simmering in the pot? Kate and Leopold, one of my favorite Hugh Jackman movies (as you all might know, I’m a huge fan of his….not only is he a gifted actor and so utterly handsome, but he’s a devoted family man, which to me, is very sexy -- I even used him as the model for the hero in A Treasure Worth Keeping).

Anyway, Kate and Leopold has everything that I’m looking for in a romantic comedy/fantasy, including that happily ever after I so crave. Now, I’m not saying I believe in time travel (though I think it would be interesting…maybe a little scary. Would I do it given the opportunity? I’m not sure. If I’m guaranteed to come back to the present, I’d love the visit the old west), but I do believe in love and how, when one is in love, nothing is impossible (not even going back in time). I think my favorite parts of the whole movie is how Leopold always treats Kate like a lady, like someone to be not only respected but loved. And I love that.

What about you, gentle readers? What’s your favorite romantic comedy and/or RomCom/fantasy?

Stay well! Stay safe! And remember to spread kindness wherever you go!

READER INTERVIEW ~ Becky 😀

I recently had a lovely interview with Becky Claxon to get to know more about her and this is what she had to say...

(picture to the left is of Becky and her daughter Heather)

Becky: I’m writing this on August 12, 2020, which is my 67 birthday.  I don’t feel 67, but more like maybe 47.  I have loved to read since a young child.  I used to have all the Nancy Drew books when I was young.  My name is on a plaque (or was) in my hometown in Indiana because of all the books I read.  Needless to say, I always tested out in school as reading three or four grade levels above me. I guess I read a lot because I am an only child and an introvert.  

 My book reading has been up and down as life has been busy or not so busy. I worked for AT&T for six years and was laid off in December 2004.  I started my own business and did a lot of the same work for AT&T but as a contractor. I worked then until 2008. In April 2006 my husband, mother, daughter, son-in-law, grandson and granddaughter moved to North Carolina from Florida. I love winter time and snow.  I am like a little kid when it snows and am the first one out in the morning to go sledding!  In July of 2006 I found out I had breast cancer.  It is not something I would wish on anyone to go through.  I did find out I was a lot stronger than I ever thought I was. I also know that I can live without hair after going through chemo!  Luckily, I am still cancer free.  In 2010 my four generations moved into a large house where we are all able to take care of each other.  My grandson will soon be 17 and my granddaughter is 15.  They have been a bright spot in my life and keep me young.  My mother will turn 92 in October and can still run rings around all of us!

(Becky with grandson, Mateo)

Once I stopped working, I began to read more and more books.  I have a few authors I help with typo corrections and read lots of ARC’s for authors.  If I find a typo for any author, I let them know instead of complaining about it.  It is crazy how five people can look at the same thing and all five may find a typo no one else did.  Funny but it seems none of us are perfect! I probably read around 250-275 books a year.  I love romance, romance suspense, western — I guess I should say that I am not crazy about paranormal or vampire books. Reading allows me to travel to so many different places, be a different person, and make so many friends.  I also become the character in the book.  It usually takes me a few hours to go back to reality after I read a book!

(Becky with granddaughter, Amelia)

This crazy Covid 19 has changed the world so much. My granddaughter and grandson play club volleyball and I love to go to all the cities and different states for their games.  That has been one of the hardest things I have had to adjust to this year as that all ended in March. I missed being able to travel to Florida to see family and friends too. We were blessed that we had an in ground pool put in August of 2018.  It has been relaxing to use the pool since we couldn’t go anywhere. And what is better than floating around reading a book!  I pray this pandemic is over soon so we can get back to normal or at least a new normal.

Lexi: Becky, I love this! And I love your pictures!

Your mom is my hero!  How fun to have your family all together and with a pool as well.  No way to get lonely during Covid that way. 😊 

I'm so glad you are cancer free!  It's great to know someone else prefers tea over coffee.  I really don't like the taste of coffee, even in ice cream!

If you don't mind, one last thing before you go ~ let's dive into the quickie questions.

Beard or no beard?  None

Chest hair or no chest hair? None

Tattoos or no tattoos? None

Rich hero or blue-collar hero?  Rich 

Hero with long or short hair?  Short 

Spicy food - yes or no? No

Coffee or tea?  Tea

Rent or own?  Own

Organized or chaotic mess?  Organized

Sweet or salty?  Salty

Lexi:  Thank you so much for doing this, Becky.  I really enjoyed getting to learn more about you. 😊

New Release ~ TEMPEST by Kris Michaels

 

Tempest

Guardian Shadow World, Book 5

by

Kris Michaels

In the dark world of a Guardian’s Shadow, an axiom exists: “Don’t. Get. Caught."

His code name was Tempest, and his enemy caught him.

Stratus did unspeakable things to him until, out of his mind, he prayed for death—but he’d never broken faith with his brothers. God, how he wished they knew that. He had not compromised them. He’d told Stratus nothing. Cast aside as useless, left to starve or die of his injuries, his broken body lay in a bare cell, forgotten, and Tempest knew his prayer for the end would be answered shortly.

Until her. She made him want to live—if only to help her escape.

Not all devils are male. The worst are female. Pilar had lived with one every day of her life—a woman who made a mockery of the word “mother.” When the woman couldn’t manipulate or intimidate her into doing as she wished, she threw Pilar into a cell with a man—or what was left of a man—admonishing her to, “see what happens to people who don’t give me what I want.” At the sight of his broken body, a fierce desire to provide solace and comfort trumped any sort of fear her mother thought to provoke—and an unshakeable bond was formed. As laughable as it seemed at the time, they each vowed to help the other escape.

His fellow Shadow rescued Tempest. Pilar knew he’d return for her if he lived. For thirty-three months, twelve days, five hours, and forty-three minutes, she faithfully monitored a hidden dropbox for his message. She almost missed it, and then she doubted her eyes.

“I’m coming for you.”

Veronica Reviews ~ ARIZONA LIGHTNING by Natasza Waters

 

Arizona Lightning

(Vyro Creek Book 1)

by

Natasza Waters

✰5 Stars

Paranormal/Vampire/Cowboy Romance

“I don’t have a heart, but for some reason I still have a soul and you keep calling to it…”

Ariana and her two best friends have had enough of city life.  Taking a chance on building a fresh beginning from broken pasts, the friends purchase a fixer upper ranch in Saguaro Gulch, Arizona.  While getting their bearings in their new environment, they quickly discover the desert isn’t the only thing heating up…their new neighbors are smokin’ hot…and brothers!  Ariana is especially drawn towards one of them…tall, dark and potentially deadly, Quinn Connelly.  With each encounter, Ariana and Quinn try to fight the chemistry sparking between them…but it’s easier to bottle lightning than to stop a love that’s fated…

Ariana and Quinn’s love affair is as wild and hot as the Arizona desert.  Natasza Waters has written a paranormal romance with an all new take on the vampire lore, and I loved it!  Arizona Lightning is a smexxy kick ass vampire romance guaranteed to set you aflame!  While it does end in a cliffhanger (insert many a sentence enhancer), it only feeds your desire for more!  If you are a fan of cowboy romances and not sure about paranormal, I recommend giving this a read…and if you are a VILF lover, then hold on to your hat, because dear Reader, you are in for a verra smexxy ride!

Sharing what I love, Veronica
