Excerpt: 
“You consider going to Max behind my back being upfront?”
“Max came to me. I was interested and after crunching the numbers, researching your top notch standing on the circuit and talking with my father, thought this was a great PR opportunity for our corporation. I didn’t know you were against the idea. My experience is that as soon as someone knows what I’m worth, they want something from me.”
“And you assumed I was sticking my hand in the pot.” She stopped at the entrance to the big tent, where oceans of food were served all day. “Okay, I see where you were coming from. Pax.” She offered her hand.
She took quiet satisfaction in the fact he looked like she’d turned him on his head. Good, keep him off balance, and he couldn’t do the same to her. He took her hand, his long fingers warm and dry, just the lightest of squeezes. He’d never used his size and strength to intimidate, she realized. He was a true alpha male, for only the strongest, fastest and smartest protected the vulnerable. A weaker male, took advantage of them.

The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling)


Get ready for another novel by a super author, Robert Galbraith aka JK Rowling!  It has nothing to do with Harry Potter, wizards, and magic, but with all the “can’t put down” readability.  Rowling has merged into mystery with touches of romance. 

The Cuckoo’s Calling is the first of a trilogy starring Cormoran Strike as a private detective.  He’s just had a disaster in his love life and an interesting and seemingly impossible case is requested of him.

The death of a super model is questioned by the model’s brother, although the police believe it was a suicide. 

Strike takes the case.  Realizing he’s short on money and help, a temp service accidentally sends him another secretary.  He takes her on expecting to employ Robin for just this case.

Robin, engaged to a man who doesn’t understand her eagerness at a low paying job, wants to learn how to be a detective.  The Silkworm       Career of Evil (Cormoran Strike, #3)

Set in London, it’s easy to feel the atmosphere and understand the tension built through the detective’s case and the lives of Strike and Robin mixing.

I have to admit that I’ve just finished The Silkworm, the second in the trilogy, and have found it just as intriguing.  This is another author that when a book is published, it has to be read!

Happy reading,

Dawn

Excerpt:
“Which one is your car?” She glanced around the crowded parking lot. A few streetlights pushed back the darkness and shadows. The restaurant served customers until midnight on the weekends, but no one loitered in the lot, at least from what Mia could see.
“Don’t have one at the moment.” Mason hooked his thumbs in the belt loops of his jeans. “I took the bus. It stopped a few blocks from here.” 
“Would you like a ride?” She pulled the car keys from her purse. “I feel a little ridiculous we met here tonight. I just wasn’t sure if you were some kind of freak.” 
His eyebrow lifted, and he closed the distance between them as a tiger would zero in on its mate. A sexy, masculine smile curled his lips. “Have you made up your mind yet?” 
“I’ll let you know in the morning.” Desire trickled down her spine. Mia nodded toward the passenger side of the car for him to hop in. 
He confiscated her keys instead to unlock and open the driver’s side door for her like a gentleman. Then he leaned closer and nuzzled her temple with his nose. 
Not sure if he planned to seduce her in the parking lot or if he merely wanted to tease her, Mia pressed her hand to his chest and tried to think straight. “You’re the first guy I’ve gone on a date with since my divorce. I haven’t slept with anyone since Evan.” 
He tunneled his fingers through her wavy, chestnut-brown hair. “I haven’t dated anyone in a long time either. We’ll take it slow or fast, whatever you want, but I promise you one thing. After I’m done with you, you won’t even remember that bastard’s name.” 
Oh, God. She almost melted right then and there. “Fast. I want you, Mason.” 
“Take me to your place and you can have me.”

About the Author:
Writing is the fruit of happiness.
Amber Daulton lives her life by that one belief even though she normally isn’t so Zen.
As a fan of contemporary, paranormal, and historical romance novels alike, she can’t get enough of feisty heroines and alpha heroes. Her mind is a wonderland of adventure, laughter, and awesome ways of kicking a guy when he’s down. She probably wouldn’t be too sane without her computer and notebooks. After all, what’s a girl to do when people are jabbering away in her head and it’s hard to shut them up? Write! Nothing else works.
