After two heartbreaking losses, Luna wants adventure. Something and somewhere very different from the affluent, sheltered home in California and Hawaii where she grew up. An adventure in which she can also make some difference.

Lucien, a worldly, well-traveled young architect, finds a stranger's journal at a café. Though he has qualms and pangs of guilt about reading it, they don't stop him. His decision changes his life forever.

Months later, they meet at a bookstore. Fascinated by his stories and adventurous spirit, Luna goes on a Peace Corps stint to a rural rice-growing village in Cambodia. There, she finds a world steeped in ancient culture and the lasting ravages of a deadly history. Will she leave this world unscathed?

An epistolary tale of courage, resilience, and the bonds that bring diverse people together.

I rated this book 5 *****'s 

My favorite so far among the books that I have read from the author's writing

My favorite fruit is mango or anything that has mango. I know it tastes good. Of course, I am intrigued to read this book not only because it has my favorite fruit but I find the book so intriguing. It makes me missed my time when my grandma, especially from my Mom's side. The moment I spent time with my grandma is the best for me. Just like Luna, we had an amazing bonding with our grandma. 

This book is full of adventures, family love, and above all so emotional. My favorite so far among the author's writings. It is so powerful. It is hard to put it down. It is brutal at the same time wide opening of what history is. Being raised poor while growing up, I remembered myself being Luna's footsteps while in Cambodia. The experience is unforgettable. This book is one of a kind and I enjoyed reading from the first page up to the last chapter.

What happens when a fake relationship turns into something real?

Singe by Chelle Bliss is now live!

While everyone around Carmello Caldo found love, he was busy losing himself in pleasure and pain. But when his cousin Lily wants to help him find true love, he doesn't hesitate to accept her offer.

Arlo King is not Carmello's usual type. She's a bookworm who doesn't give herself away easy. But she's the perfect woman to help reform the serial womanizer, even though she has commitment issues of her own.

Quickly, their fake relationship goes from slow-burn to scorching hot from the very first touch. But can they work through their trouble pasts and embrace a fairy tale future?

Singe is the eighth full-length standalone novel in the Men of Inked Heatwave series by USA Today bestselling author Chelle Bliss.

I rated this book 5 *****'s

What a perfect twist of event

I laugh out loud so many times while reading this book. The exchanges of words between cousins and siblings are so hysterical. I enjoyed reading those lines very much.

Arlo is such a perfect woman for a womanizer Carmello. This two are a perfect match. The story is so beautiful and very steamy too. I loved how the families are always there for each other. It is so nice to read my favorite couple with their kids and their own love story. I loved how a bad boy turns into jello just to please his woman. Carmello is so gentle like a teddy bear with Arlo. This is a must-read and very emotional too.

Sweet, Sexy Heart (The Bradens & Montgomerys: Pleasant Hill - Oak Falls Book 6) Book by Melissa Foster

NEW RELEASE........
Discover the magic of New York Times bestseller Melissa Foster's writing and see why millions of readers have fallen in love with the fiercely loyal and sassily sexy characters in the Love in Bloom big-family romance collection. All Love in Bloom books can be enjoyed as stand-alone novels or as part of the larger series. 

For this sweet bookstore owner, avoiding the charms of a famed-football-player-turned-author was supposed to be easy... Funny, sinfully sexy, opposite-attracts romance.

Amber Montgomery is perfectly happy with her quiet life, running her bookstore, taking long walks with Reno, her Labrador retriever seizure-response dog, and spending time with her close-knit family. She’s never needed thrills the way some of her sisters have. In an effort to control her epilepsy, she tries to avoid anything that creates too much excitement or stress—including relationships. When Amber hosts a book signing for famed-athlete-turned-author Dash Pennington, he’s everything she’s spent her life avoiding: loud, aggressive, and far too handsome, as proven by the hordes of women who surround him everywhere he goes. Amber can’t ignore the sparks flying between her and Dash, but this is a no-brainer for her: Ignore their chemistry and hold her breath until he leaves town. 

Dash Pennington has spent his life running. Running the ball in for a touchdown, running from town to town to appease his public relations reps, and running into the arms of too many women to count. He’s also an expert at protecting—his reputation, his sisters, and lately, his sanity. But he’s ready to make a change. When he comes to the sleepy little town of Oak Falls, Virginia, and witnesses the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen living the life he craves, she refuses to have anything to do with him. But now that Dash has found the one thing he doesn’t want to run from, he’ll stop at nothing to win her over.

The Bradens & Montgomerys are part of Melissa's Love in Bloom big-family romance collection. All Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right into this fun, sexy romance.

I was a wreck while reading this book 

This is the second book by Ms. Melissa Foster that made me cry. I was a wreck while reading this book. It is so emotional. I normally do not cry while reading but she did it again to me. I loved this story.

Amber and Dash are so perfect for each other. I laugh out so loud, cried, and head over in love with these two characters.  I adored Amber's dad. He is such a very cool dad and so supportive. I missed my dad the most while reading those scenes. 

Dash will do everything for the woman he loves. He is even willing to drop everything for Amber's safety. Reno is such a fun dog, loved that furry girl. One of the most emotional books I read this month.  This should be in the movie.

EMBRACING HER HEART

Welcome to Oak Falls, Virginia, home to horse farms, midnight rodeos, bookstores, coffee shops, and quaint restaurants where you’re greeted like family and treated like treasured guests. Buckle up for a wild ride. Like any Southern girls worth their salt, the sweet-talking, sharp-tongued Montgomery sisters can take men to their knees with one seductive glance or a single sugarcoated sentence. 

A second chance at their first love…

Leaving New York City and returning to her hometown to teach a screenplay writing class seems like just the break Grace Montgomery needs. Until her sisters wake her at four thirty in the morning to watch the hottest guys in town train wild horses and she realizes that escaping her sisters’ drama-filled lives was a lot easier from hundreds of miles away. To make matters worse, she spots the one man she never wanted to see again—ruggedly handsome Reed Cross. 

Reed was one of Michigan’s leading historical preservation experts, but on the heels of catching his girlfriend in bed with his business partner, his uncle suffers a heart attack. Reed cuts all ties and returns home to Oak Falls to run his uncle’s business. A chance encounter with Grace, his first love, brings back memories he’s spent years trying to escape. 

Grace is bound and determined not to fall under Reed’s spell again—and Reed wants more than another taste of the woman he’s never forgotten. When a midnight party brings them together, passion ignites and old wounds are opened. Grace sets down the ground rules for the next three weeks. No touching, no kissing, and if she has it her way, no breathing, because every breath he takes steals her ability to think. But Reed has other ideas… 

The Bradens & Montgomerys are part of Melissa's Love in Bloom big-family romance collection. All Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right into this fun, sexy romance.

ANYTHING FOR LOVE

After Charlotte Sterling loses her last family member, she moves to Sterling House, her family's Colorado mountain inn, to live a solitary life. As an erotic romance writer, her days and nights are filled with passion and intrigue-even if only fictional. She loves her busy, quiet lifestyle, and she learned early on that real men can't live up to the fictional heroes she creates-until ruggedly handsome Beau Braden arrives to do some work at the inn and, for the first time in forever, she's intrigued by a real man.

Beau lost his first love years ago, and he's never let go of his guilt over her death. As he nears the anniversary of his loss, he is on the cusp of becoming the star of a home-renovation reality show. Escaping the painful memories of his past to work at the defunct old inn is just the promise of solitude he needs to clear his head before diving in to the all-too-public career. But he didn't count on being attracted to the whimsical, adorably sexy innkeeper.

Neither Charlotte nor Beau is looking for an attachment or a fling. But the more they learn about each other, the closer they become. Romantic evenings lead to intimate conversations, and neither can deny their deep connection or the passion it sparks. They've never fully healed on their own, but together maybe anything is possible.

MAKING YOU MINE
Knox Bentley never liked the pomp and circumstance that came with being wealthy.

I rated this book 5 *****'s 

Being greedy will put you in danger all the time

The glitz and the power of working in the entertainment industry are fun, frustrating at the same time hassle. Grace is always been my favorite character. She is loving, has a heart of gold at the same time feisty. She never disappoints me with this story. 

Being greedy will put you in danger all the time.  People will do anything just to keep the power within their hands. It does not matter how they hurt people. Grace always trust her instinct and she is such a powerful character. I adored her. 

This story is so intense and so good.  I can't wait to read more adventures of Grace.

Book Description:
 

A ghost from her past. Her sister murdered. Can Grace slay her demons and find the killer before she ends up dead?
 

New York City, 1920. Grace Michelle has everything she wants: a home, a family, and a future career as a costume designer for famed showman Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr.’s Ziegfeld Follies. Pretty good for a girl who once lived on the streets of New York City. But when her sister, Sophia, the star of the show, is murdered, Grace’s safe and protected life is shattered.

Battle-scarred by the war and emotionally scarred by his past, Chet Riker has made it a practice to keep his distance from others; love, after all, leads only to pain. But Chet has a problem—a big one: he’s become indebted to mob-boss Joe Marciano in an attempt to save his estranged mother’s life, and Marciano wants him to pay up or else. Desperate to get the money, he contacts former client Florenz Ziegfeld for work.

Soon, Chet finds himself playing bodyguard for introverted Grace, who has reluctantly agreed to be Ziegfeld’s new leading lady—on the condition that Ziegfeld promises to find Sophia’s killer. Upon meeting Grace, Chet quickly finds his hardened theory that love equals pain tested. Grace, meanwhile, is swept up in a life she never wanted as the Follies’ star, and as the pawn in a series of publicity stunts during a transcontinental train trip to California that puts her life at risk. Who would want her and Sophia dead? Together, she and Chet must confront publicity-hungry Florenz Ziegfeld, power-driven Joe Marciano, and their own pasts to find Sophia’s killer—and let themselves love once again.

Finding My Sunshine Book by Shannon Leith McGuire

Join us for this tour from June 14 to July 2, 2021!

Book Details:

Book Title:  Finding My Sunshine (A Memoir)
Author:  Shannon Leith McGuire.
​Category:  Adult Non-Fiction (18+), 198 pages
Genre:  Memoir
Publisher:  Sunshine Street Press
Release date:  March 2021
Content Rating:  PG+M for bad language, anger, and suicidal thoughts, clinical depression, and assault

 Book Description:

"What if that someone was you?" Shannon had been so quick to blame others for her anger. She knew she was drowning in darkness and pain; being born with a learning disability made her feel defeated by life. She tried drinking heavily in order to quiet the demons. After being kicked out of college, Shannon took a leap of faith and started working in a nursing home. That's when her angels appeared and the miracle began. The insight and wisdom she gained from those elderly new friends led her on an inspiring journey of discovery and self-acceptance. Each of us has our own path. Some of us just need angels to help us find it. This is her story. 

I rated this book 5 *****'s 

Those special moments mean a lot to the residents 

Life sometimes is hard and not fair. It happened to all of us unfortunately with Shannon who is the main and my favorite character of this inspiring, emotional, and soul searcher story. 

I know from the start that I will enjoy reading this book. As a healthcare worker particularly a housekeeper in the nursing home, this book I know will put an impact on my life.  I have noticed and watched how the CNA takes care of the resident. It is tough, overwhelming especially when they are short staff but at the same time happiness, they bring to each resident and their families. I was asked by the CNA, supervisor why will not apply for a CNA instead of housekeeping? CNA is not an easy job compared to cleaning the residents' room. This book is indeed a wide opening for me how being a CNA is. Shannon is not a quitter and I admired that in her. She never stops to reach her dreams despite what happened to her life. A woman with a learning disability, being bullied, cheated but has a heart of gold. She finally let go of her demons and see light at the end of the tunnel.

This book is so inspiring. I enjoyed reading it. I am looking forward to reading more of the author's writing.

Meet the Author:

Shannon was raised in a small town in Eastern Montana, where you leave your car keys in the ignition and your front door unlocked all the time. The kind of place where sunsets and sunrises can be seen for miles on the horizon. Where the spring crickets and frogs resting in the irrigation ditches helped transition the days into a calm resting night. Where the winters can get so cold, air can freeze. It was only after she was academically suspended by the college she was attending, that she became a Certified Nurses Aide (CNA). She did her training in Billings, Montana and it was there she learned how to take care of others and bonded with the geriatric population. For over five years, Shannon worked in the same nursing home where she received her training. The work was hard, but it grounded her and helped her find balance in what had become a deeply unbalanced life. It was not until she was a CNA, at one of the hospitals that she had a dream-three nights in a row-that she was going to become a nurse. She currently resides in Tampa, Florida, where you may hear her laughing with her husband of over 10 years,  scuba diving in the ocean, taking walks with their rescued pit-bull dog- Darby, or dancing together to life's music.
