ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date MAY 31, 2022

Dario Lucari kidnapped me when I was just a bride sold for territory…and made me a captive wife.

He will never free me. I am his property and he lets me know that every time he hurts me.

My hate for him burns hotter than the embers of love. But for how long?

•••••

REVIEW:The Manhattan Mafia series is back at it again with book two. CD throws no punches with this one either, it will smack you in the face and have you begging for more. Make Me is angsty, suspenseful, read until you finish the book, type of book. I recommend reading book one; Take Me before diving into the ring on this one, but there is enough backstory that you could read it as a standalone.

Sarah and Dario give me all the power couple vibes and oomph, they were so much freaking fun to read. They give it all to each other. Dario is an over the top alpha, but he is starting to learn to deal with his vulnerability, Sarah on the other hand is coming into her own, learning her strengths and testing Dario’s world renowned patience.

No one, and I truly do mean know one, does mafia romance like Reiss. Her way of writing is stellar, every time I pick up one of her books, I know I’m going to enjoy it before I even finish it. Make Me is filled with revenge, spice and angst. If you’re looking for something to get your blood pumping and your fantasy’s awakened, look no further.

NOTE: The Excerpt is intended for mature readers due to strong language and content

 

“You’re really talking about a truce?”
“Call it what you want.”
“Fucking hell.” He laughs to himself. “You aren’t the same guy since you took my sister.”
I’m not. The Dario Lucari who lived the hour before he took Sarah had sold his soul to destroy the Colonia. This is my last chance to buy it back for her.
“I’m offering an end to all of this.”
“You started this war, and now you’re offering to stop it? Like it’s a bargain? And my sister? Remember her? She’s part of the deal.”
I expected him to try this trade, but it still pisses me off. “We’ll disappear. We’ll leave New York. That’s all you get out of me.”
“Why would we do that?” He looks into the tunnel. The light is dim yellow and the air curls unpredictably, catching wrappers and plastic bags in looping whirlwinds—only to casually drop them on the tracks. “For what? We don’t want peace. That’s not some prize. We want you strung up like a side of beef, and we want Sarah back.”
“She’s better off with me and you know it.” I wasn’t sure if he knew that until I see his reaction. He knows. He just doesn’t care. “You want to fight for her, you’re going to have a fight. But then what? Drag her home? To do what with her? Turn her out like a whore? Or slice her up and sell her?”
His flinch is slight and as fast as a blink, but it tells me there are things the Colonia do that he doesn’t like thinking about. He was born human and raised to be an animal. Now he’s trying hard to die an animal. But the real him—the human—keeps slipping out. He’s a soft touch, a reformer, and too much of a coward to change anything before his father is out of the picture.
“We can’t let you live.” His voice is partially drowned out by a warm wind from behind him. A nearly empty train arrives on the opposite platform. “Your deal is bullshit, and it sucks.”
We say nothing for a moment, while the doors open. He hides his anxiety. I hide my regrets.
Say you want peace, Massimo. All you have to do is want it.
Mr. Post doesn’t get on the train.
Revenge is exhausting. It takes up too much mental real estate. Too much time. Too much love. I need all of it for something else.
The conductor’s voice gurgles, and with a double beep, the doors slap closed.
We’re just two men talking.
Wind gusts from behind me. Train on our side.
“I’m not coming to you with another deal.” I shrug, offering to clean up a mess I made.
Massimo’s sneer tells me the discount on salvation won’t result in a sale. “Without Sarah, there’s no deal.”
“You can’t have her. Ever. She’s mine.”

Etched in Honor (Aspen Pack 1) by Carrie Ann Ryan-Review tour

 

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play /Apple/

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date

The betrayal that had nearly taken out the Aspen Pack has passed, but the ramifications of starting with a new hierarchy are taking their toll on Audrey Porter. Once traitor to the former leaders for trying to save their people, she’s now the Beta of the Pack and must try to hold their shattered remains together. Only she never expected the man from her past to awaken memories long since buried.

Gavin Powers is the new Tracker for the Aspen, yet it feels as though he’s always been part of the Pack, rather than a newcomer trying to heal a people long since thought forgotten. There are secrets within the den that could alter how the world sees shifters, and if Gavin isn’t careful, his attraction to Audrey could ruin everything.

There is a mysterious new enemy on the horizon, one long since vanquished into myth. As the darkness surrounding the Packs is unveiled, it will take a wolf and a lioness to unbury the past and fight for their future—or risk losing everything before it begins.

•••••••

REVIEW:Etched In Honor is the first book in a new shifter series by Carrie Ann Ryan, and what a treat it is. Aspen Pack book one is a story of messed up fate and redemption, plus no one does a shifter romance like C.A.R.

Audrey and Gavin start their relationship off rocky, their past littered with complications and mystery. Audrey has taken on the role as Beta for the pack, and Gavin follows as tracker, both trying to find their way and save their people. While this story does focus on the pair, you really get to see how the Aspen Pack is rebuilding after the loss they suffered and I think that has a lot to do with the struggle of both Audrey and Gavin and how much the new pack means to them.

Audrey wants to be strong for her Pack, and Gavin is trying to find a home, together they want to build something that will last. All the while they are trying to build something new with a sturdy foundation, they also have to deal with the most completed history I have read in a shifter book. I loved the vulnerability of Audrey and how much she comes to value Gavin and his insight on their new bond. As that bond grows, we get the spicy bits and who doesn’t love those.

-Laughs-

Through thick and thin, Gavin and Audrey learn to trust and love one another, but when that trust is tested by an unknown enemy after their Pack, who knows what will happen. This was such a kicker when you finally get the low-down of what the big bad is and dang, I didn’t see that coming. Here is hoping that we get more with the next books in the series.

A Student/Professor Reverse Harem Romance

They say I’m the hottest girl on campus, and my sexy professors are about to show me why I should choose them over the boys my age.
I can have any guy on campus.
One look and a smile are all it takes.
Jocks, nerds, hippies…they all love me.
But my professors have other ideas.
They want to give me a wicked education…in lust.
They want to teach me…a thing or two in the sack.
They want to ensure I’m at the head…of my class.
And most of all, they’re intent on making my college experience one to remember.

•••••

REVIEW:All in the pursuit of art, Jessa is willing to do just about anything to become an artist. So what does a young college student do? She goes to a professor for advice. This sends her down a rabbit-hole of her own making, but it also changes her life for the better. Poor Jessa is a hot mess of drama, her parents trying to set her up to get married, not allowing her to go after her passions, not to mention the guy she just made a deal with to pretend to be her boyfriend just to get her parents off her back. Throw in a couple of older hot professors and it’s a full on soap-opera.

One thing to know about this author is that she can pack so much drama, spice and feeling into a short amount of time. Once I started reading it was hard to stop, the story is flirty and dramatic with just the right amount of spice to keep the reader going. My only complaint is that I wish there was more. A happy 3.5 from this reader.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 29, 2022

A Student/Professor Reverse Harem Romance

I’ll do anything to stay in college…even my professors.
Working as a hotel maid is a last resort.
But it’s the only way I can afford to stay in school.
But when my professor makes me an offer I can’t refuse…
I can’t turn him—or his sexy friends—down.
They want to teach me…naughty things.
Expose me to…everything they have to offer.
They’re intent on keeping me…at college and for themselves.
I’m about to spend time in one sinful classroom.

••••••

REVIEW:Book three, book three, how I love this series! The next installment in Mika Lane’s Study Harder series is here. A Sinful Classroom is a student/teacher, reverse harem romance filled with spicy moments and the trifecta of drama.

When life gives you lemons…well you make lemonade. When Roxy’s parents told her they would only pay for half of her school tuition, she made it work, she got a job and she paid her part. School is the one thing she wants more than anything, and hard work is what she’s used to anyway. When life knocks her down, and her parents are nowhere to be found, what’s a girl to do?

Enter in the triad; Baird the school counselor and his two best friends and roommates, Arrow and Silas. All three have been smitten by Roxy and want nothing more than to care and protect her. Roxy slowly spends time with each of the men and falls for them, each for their own special ways. When she finally learns why her tuition hasn’t been paid, she pulls away in fear of hurting her new found happiness with them. Can the guys bring Roxy back? Will she fight the fear of possibility or let herself be happy with her men?

I think Roxy is my favorite FM in the series so far. She is funny, sweet and hardworking, she is willing to do anything to finish school and better herself. This author really does have a way with words. I enjoyed A Sinful Classroom, even if it was a little far-fetched at times, nothing wrong with a good book.

Reviewed by Sarah

My attention was redirected to another noise coming from the far reaches of the house.
Arrow and Baird had left hours ago, to get their workouts in at the campus athletic center before their day with students began, so I knew whatever I was hearing was not from them.
But there was no cause for alarm. I’d heard a… guest in the house the night before, and figured this person was just starting their day.
I had half a mind to see who it was and what they were up to, but it was my policy to mind my own business in matters of roommate life. I hadn’t lived with other people in years, and I’d promised myself when Arrow had invited me to bunk up with him, that I’d keep my head down and stay out of the other guys’ lives so long as they stayed out of mine.
They were my friends, and I didn’t want our short time living together to throw any kinks in our relationship.
So if someone had a ‘friend’ over the night before, it was none of my damn business. But that didn’t stop me from being curious.
Especially since I’d heard our house guest, whose room shared a wall with mine, having a little fun in her room the night before. All by herself.
How’d I know she was alone? I’d heard Arrow show her to the room and abruptly say goodnight. I wasn’t sure why he invited a woman home only to show her to the guest room, but the man must have had his reasons.
And the hot little noises she made as she pleasured herself were a thoroughly unexpected delight. I’d have to thank him later for setting her up right next to me. It was downright awesome of him.
I’d been up reading, so I heard her wash up and get ready for bed. And when her bed began to rock just the slightest bit, it was without a doubt clear what she was up to. When her breathing got heavy and raspy, I took my own good time in hand.
Literally.
It was beyond hot, listening to a woman moan and sigh, with no idea what she looked like. Not that I had any shortage of beautiful women in my imagination to jerk off to, but a situation like this let the mind go wild.
Was she curvy or slim?
Dark skinned or light?
Blue eyes or brown?
Long hair or short?
Big tits or small?
Not that it really mattered. Her little gasps and sighs, which led to a growing, then final, moan when she achieved her climax, set off my own as I collected my streams of ejaculate in the extra towel I kept in my nightstand for just that purpose.
Fucking hot, jerking off to the sounds of a stranger.
A stranger who was still in my house. Well, Arrow’s house.
“Good morning,” a woman’s voice tentatively said.
Holy fuck. I nearly went through the roof at the sound of her so close behind me. While I’d known someone was in the house, I hadn’t heard her coming and had no idea she was headed in my direction. I’d assumed she’d dress and slip out the side door without a word.
But I was glad she hadn’t because when I whipped around, I saw she was a pleasure to behold. Well done, Arrow. Well done.
Our houseguest was a tall, thin blonde with terribly adorable bedhead, bundled up in one of Arrow’s terrycloth robes.
How did I know it was Arrow’s? Because his initials were on it, like they were on nearly all his shit.
Monograms were his thing.
I jumped to my feet. “Hello. I’m Silas.”
I extended my hand because I didn’t know what else to do. I mean, I wasn’t going to say, hey I heard you jerking off last night and found it quite enjoyable.
Yeah, no.
“Hello. I’m Roxy. Roxy Vandenberg.”
She returned a healthy, firm handshake. Hopefully with the same hand she’d pleasured herself the night before. I was tempted to sniff it.
“I didn’t know anyone lived here with Arrow.”
Apparently not.
She looked around the kitchen, her gaze settling on our fancy espresso machine when I realized she was actually avoiding looking at me.
I looked down at myself in ratty sweats that were probably a little too clingy to be seen in mixed company. And I had no shirt on at all.
I hiked them up so they at least covered the top of my pubes, and reached for a jacket someone had left on the back of a kitchen chair.
As I started to pull it on, I thought fuck it. She’d already seen my pierced nipple, bicep tattoos, and whatever else my immodest clothing was revealing. I mean, shit, she was wearing another man’s bathrobe.
We were kind of even, if you asked me.
“I’m an architecture professor at the university. Camping out here until my own house is finished. Are you a student?”
She nodded, still avoiding looking at me, setting her gaze on my open laptop and plans for the movie theater.
“I’m a business major. My car broke down so Professor Menk—I mean, Arrow—gave me a lift here. I slept in the guest room.”
Thank god for little miracles.
“Whatcha working on?” she asked.
For a moment, I didn’t know what she was talking about. All I could do was stare at her mop of bedhead and think that the gap between her teeth was about the most fucking sexy thing I’d ever seen in my life.
Truly.
It was in sharp contrast to her otherwise sultry presence, adding a fuck you that was unexpected. And delicious.
How many people these days ran around with gaps in their teeth when we were surrounded by dental work that delivered perfectly straight, overly whitened teeth? Not a hell of a lot.
She was… real.
But I’d forgotten my manners. “Coffee?” I asked.
She bounced up and down a little in her bare feet, unbothered by my near-nakedness.
I was in love.
“Please, yes. I would love some.”
As soon as I’d handed her a big, steaming mug, because—I couldn’t deny it—I wanted her to stick around as long as possible, I pulled a chair around the table so she could sit next to me. Right next to me.

One Way Back To Me (Wilder Brothers 1) by Carrie Ann Ryan-Review Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo / Google Play /Apple /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 18, 2022

One dance at a stranger’s wedding. That’s all it took for me to fall for Alexis.
And then? Disaster. Another man—her boyfriend—gets down on one knee and proposes to her.
I never thought I’d see her again.
Years later, I’m in desperate need of a wedding planner—not for myself, but for my company.
My five brothers and I need to get our new Wilder Resort off the ground, and Alexis is the only one savvy enough to help us.
But there’s the little matter that I still have it bad for her. Alexis has changed since the night we met. She’s gun shy. But there’s a spark between us that will not die. We both fight it, until we don’t.
Until history repeats itself. The same guy who took her away from me is back to do more damage. But this time he’ll have to go through me to get her.

••••••

REVIEW:Are you a military man type? Are you into over the top, hot alpha’s? Well if you are, this book is for you. The first in its series, One Way back by Carrie Ann is a contemporary romance story with no major triggers.

The Wilder brothers are six strong former military men who are trying to start their retirement off with the family business. Each Wilder brother I’m guessing will get their own book, so the series would naturally start at the beginning with the oldest brother; Eli. Now, while this is the first book of the Wilder series, it does tie in somewhat with Inked Obsession as they are Eliza’s brothers.

The series starts off pretty funny and I was hooked from there. A first dance and garter catch. That’s right, a garter catch, Eli and Alexis meet at a wedding! Their flirting is funny and casual, but neither takes it too seriously as Alexis’ boyfriend drops down to a knee and pops the big question. Too bad she chose wrong. Fast forward a few years, and Alexis is now starting to rebuild her life after her shady ex and their divorse. Through a mutual friend, she reunites with Eli, who coincidentally is looking for a wedding planner just like her.

Now that they have met again, their chemistry revamps higher than ever and both are eager to be working together. Eli seems to be a work-aholic and Alexis is stressed about her new business, but neither can stop the attraction for one another. Now all they need to do is take the plunge. Do they trust each other and give into their connection?

Woweiiii! C.A.R never disappoints! I loved the coworker vibe that they have going on, and the chemistry between Eli and Alexis. The drop in from previous books characters where a happy surprise and I very much look forward to see what the other Wilder Brothers have to offer us.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 8, 2022.

WANTED: A SITUATION-SHIP

I’m a single female that’s tired of relationships ruining my life. However, there are times when a date would be helpful. If you’re a single man, preferably mid-twenties to late-thirties, and are in a similar situation, we might be a match.

Candidate must be handsome, charming, and willing to pretend to have feelings for me (on a sliding scale, as the event requires). Ability to discuss a wide variety of topics is a plus. Must have your own transportation and a (legal) job.

This will be a symbiotic agreement. In exchange for your time, I will give you mine. Need someone to flirt with you at a football party? Go, team! Want a woman to make you look good in front of your boss? Let me find my heels. Would you love for someone to be obsessed with you in front of your ex? I’m applying my red lipstick now.

If interested, please email me. Time is of the essence.

•••••

REVIEW:*Squeal*

Flirt is the PERFECT title for this book. What a way to kick off the new series by the lovely Adriana Locke. The Carmichael’s have officially won number one spot as the coolest family series!

You want a book that is swoon worthy? This is it! Sweet, flirty chemistry and spicy hotness to boot, Brooke and Moss set the pages off with their story.

Okie dokie fellow readers, let’s get down to it. Flirt is a standalone, (for now) fake dating romance that leads to true love. Brooke and Moss are co-workers who make a deal to fake date one another to help each other out. Both have their own reasons as to why they don’t do relationships that later come to light, but it’s safe to say neither were ready for their dating to start feeling so real.

Flirt is so fun and well flirty, sweet and steamy with a small town feel and an amazing family attached. The banter, the pranks and yes even the drama make the story feel full and wholesome. The Carmichael’s series is going to be a new adventure that I can’t wait to sink my teeth into!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 4, 2022.

There was absolutely no way she was falling for her neighbor. No matter how gorgeous he was.

Aurora Keller thought she’d lucked out when she decided to put down roots in Redemption, Tennessee. She had a new business, new friends, and a picture-perfect little house. There was just one problem, and it came in the form of her six-foot-three tattooed, muscle-bound neighbor from hell, who just so happened to be her best friend’s future brother-in-law. It really wasn’t fair that Satan’s offspring was so nice to look at.

Callum Morrison wasn’t a good man. Or at least that was what he’d convinced himself. After a series of bad decisions that had resulted in the worst years of his life, all he was looking for was peace and quiet. Too bad he bought a house right next door to the one woman he wanted but could never have. That was enough to make any man grumpy.

What had started as a war against two neighbors turned into something so much more.

And if they aren’t careful, the fallout could destroy them both.

••••••

REVIEW:JP just does it for me! Every time I pick up one of her books, I am never let down. Blurred Lines is the sixth book in the Redemption series and continues on with characters we’ve met before.

We’re back to small town living in Tennessee, and back to characters that we love. Rora is one of a kind, probably one of the most unique characters I have ever read. She’s sunshine and soulful, but now her life has a tiny little gray cloud in the form of Callum.

Grumpy Callum, her new next store neighbor. These two butt heads from the very beginning, but it’s so funny and sexy that you can’t help but want to read more and more. Callum has done his time and paid his dues for his past, but for him it’s more, his redemption isn’t in his future. When he buys the busted up farm house, hoping to fix it up and settle in, he’s surprised to find that the one woman he can’t keep out of his head lives in the house next store. The spitfire that haunts his dreams and occupies parts of his heart that he thought was long dead, Aurora.

When Rora decides to help Callum out, she ends up starting to like him more and more. When his family brings their drama to his door, it’s Rora that is up in their face defending him. Poor Callum is falling deeper and deeper into Rora, but doesn’t think he is good enough for her or that he deserves her. Rora makes it her mission to heal Callum, but when his hot and cold vibes get to be too much for her to deal with she has a hard time letting go.

Callum and Rora are hot and cold, flighting and dramatic, but they are so funny at the same time, you can’t help but love reading their story. I love how no matter what Callum does, Rora keeps trying to heal him and make him realize that he is worth love, that he deserves to receive it and give it. Rora is that balm that Callum needs in his life, and Callum is that love that Rora has been searching for. This book really does have it all, twists, turns, drama and spice. Their HEA is one for the books.

Jessica Prince

Born and raised around Houston Texas, Jessica spent most of her life complaining about the heat, humidity, and all around pain in the ass weather. It was only as an adult that she quickly realized the cost of living in Houston made up for not being able to breathe when she stepped outside. That’s why God created central air, after all.

Jessica is the mother of a perfect little boy–she refuses to accept that he inherited her attitude and sarcastic nature no matter what her husband says.

In addition to being a wife and mom, she’s also a wino, a coffee addict, and an avid lover of all types of books–romances still being her all time favs. Her husband likes to claim that reading is her obsession but she just says it’s a passion…there’s a difference. Not that she’d expect a boy to understand.

Jessica has been writing since she was a little girl, but thankfully grew out of drawing her own pictures for her stories before ever publishing her first book. Because an artist she is not.

Evernight Unleashed (Ravenwood Coven 3) by Carrie Ann Ryan-Review Tour

 

 

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo /

Release Date: March 17, 2022

In the dramatic conclusion to the Ravenwood Coven series by NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan, this sleeping magical paranormal town knows that war can be a beginning…and an ending.

Rowen Ravenwood is the final witch of her line—the only one standing in the way of Oriel, the dark necromancer who wants the core of the town’s magic for his own. With each passing battle and loss, Rowen is one step closer to losing it all if she doesn’t rely on the one man she refuses to love again. Only this time she might not have a choice when family secrets come to light.

Ash Christopher’s family curse hit him harder than anyone knows. He’s cool, relentless, and only feels what he needs to in order to survive. He’s gained everything in power and lost all else to his ambition—including Rowen. After all, a man cannot have a soul mate when he does not possess a soul.

The town of Ravenwood is dying and as the final battles come to pass, it will take the courage of a coven reborn, a mating bond broken, and a love worth fighting for in order to save all before it is lost.

REVIEW:The Ravenwood Coven series has come to an end, but what an end it was! The final installment of C.A.R’s paranormal romance series left me with a yearning for my own kind of magical happy ending.

Who doesn’t love a good fight between good and evil? I mean come on friends we were raised on Disney stories! Rowen is the last one, the one to stop Creepy, McCreepster; Oriel, the big baddie that wants to take away all the magic. Rowen is struggling to overcome Oriel, every step, every loss, every battle is harder and harder than the one before. The town is counting on her, her family is counting on her, but she needs help.

Just not from the one person she knows she needs it from.

Ash.

The one she loved and lost, and refuses to ever love again. Just like Rowen, Ash has his own family curse, one that takes his soul. A soul that used to be her. Rowen and Ash have a broken hearted love story that shakes up the plot and keeps the story spinning and spinning. I love how fast paced this story was, we got everything we wanted for the conclusion. Answers are revealed, curses are lifted and as a dedicated romance reader, I got the happy ending I wanted so much.

Way to go C.A.R for finishing another amazing series!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 1, 2022

I’ve always been a good girl.

But the second I walk into the hotel bar, I see temptation.

The man sitting there is delicious. Older. Experienced. Once our eyes meet, I know I’m not walking away unscathed. I’ve heard about men like Jenner Dalton—richer than God and hotter than sin. He’s got heartbreak written all over him.

But it only takes fifteen minutes before we’re headed up to his room.

I’ve never done anything like this before, but something tells me he’s worth it. Every swipe of his tongue feels electric, every kiss sets me on fire, and his experience has me begging for more.

And more.

And more.

In one week, I’ll return to college in Miami.

He’ll go back to being LA’s most eligible billionaire.

The miles and years between us are just too many for this to mean anything.

So, between now and then, I plan to spend every moment being anything but good …

REVIEW: Marni Mann has to be the Queen Supreme of all things spicy, because The Billionaire is a level above anything I have read from her before. If erotic romance is what you’re looking for, than look no further, this one is going to knock those koozie socks right off ya.

The Billionaire is book two in The Dalton Brothers series, book one being The Lawyer. The books can be read as a standalone, but I always recommend reading in order simply for the goodness of another book and more to the story. I really, really don’t want to spoil this book for anyone so I’m going to try to keep this spicy (cuz sweet is just not the right word lol) short.

Jenner and Jo literally set the pages on fire with their story. There is so much sex in this book that I was taking water breaks inbetween chapters lol. I was a little nervous with their being so much sexiness that Jo and Jenner wouldn’t click as a couple and the story would feel unfinished. Oh how I was wrong. They have a slight age difference, but it’s more like they are in different stages of their lives. Jo is about to finish college and Jenner is a powerful, successful lawyer. The pair are also living on opposite sides of the states as well, which makes any sort of relationship…difficult to say the least, but somehow they made it work.

The saying opposites attract is perfect for these two. Just wow! The author truly did outdo herself with this book, it was freaking delicious, like your fingers and go back for more, delicious!

Best-selling Author Marni Mann knew she was going to be a writer since middle school. While other girls her age were daydreaming about teenage pop stars, Mann was fantasizing about penning her first novel. She crafts sexy, titillating stories that weave together her love of darkness, mystery, passion, and human emotion. A New Englander at heart, she now lives in Sarasota, Florida with her husband and their two dogs who subsequently have been characters in her books. When she’s not nose deep in her laptop working on her next novel, she’s scouring for chocolate, sipping wine, traveling to new locations, and devouring fabulous books.
