ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 6, 2020

Everyone else might give up, but he never will. Not until his last breath.

It was a simple accident cleanup, but when the tow truck driver turns to face him, firefighter Braden Nichols is lost in the greenest eyes he’s ever seen. His home is waiting for a family, and he realizes quickly that he’s found one in Tanna and her kids.

Being a tow truck driver isn’t easy for the widow. It’s only made harder by being in a man’s world, but it’s all Tanna’s found to feed her boys, teenager Daniel and eight-year-old Max, who’s special needs. The gorgeous firefighter who commits to her and her two kids is a love she never thought she’d find.

Then a simple tow from the side of the interstate puts her in the crosshairs of the wrong people. When the threats start, she keeps it all from Braden. He’s been too good to her and the kids, and he doesn’t deserve to be dragged into her problems.

But suddenly, she’s gone, and Braden’s world rapidly unravels. Knowing his lack of legal ties to the boys may mean he’ll never see them again, he knows he has to find their mother. They suffered enough when they lost their dad, and losing Tanna isn’t an option.

To Braden’s heart, it’s unthinkable. Unbearable. And unacceptable.

Just when they think their big break has come, the trail goes cold. The rain pours, the thunder rolls, and Braden’s heart breaks. He’s out of options and running out of time, and he fears the worst. But as dark as the night is, there’s something darker.

And it just might be their salvation.

REVIEW:SHELTER FOR TANNA by Deanndra Hall is the latest instalment in the contemporary, adult, multi-authored POLICE AND FIRE: OPERATION ALPHA romance series focusing on characters first introduced in one of Susan Stoker’s fabulous series. This is thirty-seven year old firefighter Braden Nichols, and single mother / widow /tow truck operator Tanna Hilliard’s story line. SHELTER FOR TANNA can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the original series is revealed where necessary.

Told from several third person perspectives including Tanna and Braden SHELTER FOR TANNA follows the building romance and relationship between thirty-seven year old firefighter Braden Nichols, and single mother / widow /tow truck operator Tanna Hilliard. A call-out to the scene of an accident finds Braden Nichols face to face with our testy heroine, a single mother whose day was going from bad to worse. In an effort to get to know Tanna Hilliard, Braden begins a strategic seduction of our story line heroine by first getting to know her children at home but a random call to pick up an abandoned car finds Tanna the target of a drug-addled duo, two men who were desperate to locate their car and the thousands of dollars in stolen goods. What ensues is the quick building romance and relationship between Tanna and Braden, and the potential fall-out when Tanna becomes the intended victim in a game of desperation and revenge.

Braden Nichols knows Tanna Hilliard is the only woman he will ever want but Tanna is a single mother, struggling with a child with special needs, as well as a teenager who has taken on many of the responsibilities at home. Never expecting to fall in love, Tanna finds herself wanting forever with the man that is now buried deep in her heart.

The relationship between Tanna and Braden is one of immediate attraction but Tanna doesn’t have time for relationships or fun, and is hesitant to expose Braden to her family, especially her son who struggles to ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). As a single woman, raising her children on her own, our heroine is strong and independent but life and everything it has to offer is about to catch up with our Tanna Hilliard.Braden Nichols never waivered in the face of Tanna’s family situation having been raised to be accepting of those with special needs. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including several of Braden’s co-workers (Braden,Joe, Harley and Captain William Bartlett, and dog handler Dean); Braden’s sister Jessica, and his parents Jake and Marsha; Tanna’s sons Daniel and Max, as well as Tanna’s boss Charlie. The requisite evil has many faces.

SHELTER FOR TANNA is a story of family, friendships, relationships and love; of struggle and acceptance. The premise is promising and entertaining; the romance is seductive and hopeful; the characters are charismatic and compelling.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 18, 2020

Bullets and Kisses Can Burn

The last person Anna Albertini expects to see in an orange jumpsuit in District Court—a place she SO doesn’t belong as a new prosecuting attorney—is Aiden Devlin, the man who’d saved her life when they were kids. For years, she has dreamed about him. Now here he is—his eyes blue, his chest wide, and his hands in cuffs.

Sure, Aiden says he doesn’t want her help, and his ties to a deadly motorcycle club should give her warning. Yes, her new boss is a sexy Italian bad boy who might be using the case to climb to the top. Plus, the detective assigned to the case, with his green eyes and broad shoulders, wants her to stay out of his way.

With so much testosterone surrounding her all of a sudden, most women would find it hard to concentrate. This might be why the case leads Anna to yelp during a spa appointment, fall out of a tree, and chase a naked old man around the courtroom. It’s a good thing Anna learned a long time ago to be her own hero, no matter how fast the bullets fly or the kisses consume.

REVIEW: DISORDERLY CONDUCT is the first instalment in Rebecca Zanetti’s contemporary adult THE ANNA ALBERTINI FILES romantic, suspense series focusing on deputy prosecutor Anna Albertini.

Told from first person point of view (Anna Albertini) DISORDERLY CONDUCT follows deputy prosecutor Anna Albertini in the aftermath of a raid on the District Attorney’s office. With her boss suspected of drug trafficking, new DA Nick Basanelli takes over the existing cases, a DA who takes an interest in our story line heroine but to complicate matters, Aiden Devlin, the man who saved her life years before, has returned to Anna’s home town, a man who is currently starring in Anna’s fantasies and dreams, but a man directly connected to Anna’s former boss. As the investigation delves deeper into potential suspects, Anna continuously throws herself into the direct line of fire, opening up an investigation of her own, finding herself in opposition with Detective Pierce of the Timber City police, as she must come to terms with Aiden’s potential involvement. As the number of witnesses turn up missing or dead, Anna, Nick and Detective Pierce follow a trail of clues of potential betrayal.

Meanwhile, years before, our heroine was the victim of a kidnapping but her life was saved by Aiden Devlin. As the years go by, the man responsible continues to torment Anna Albertini, torment that has followed her home to Timber City.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT is a story of power, control, drug trade, betrayal, friendships, relationships, family and love. Anna Albertini is always in the wrong place at the right time, or the right place at the wrong times, and our heroine is a walking disaster as it pertains to her own safety and personal protection. Aiden has assigned himself guardian and protector, a job that even the local police struggle to perform.

As well, Anna Albertini is a woman who has attracted the attention of all three of our story line ‘heroes’: Aiden Devlin, DA Nick Basanelli, and Detective Pierce, and with each our heroine has acknowledged the attraction with the men, as well. I am not sure in which direction our heroine is heading, but Anna likes the bad boy who knows a thing or two about what Anna likes.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT follows several intersecting paths that culminate in the take down of the men responsible but not all is as it appears to be. The character driven premise is strong, imaginative and captivating ; the characters are colorful, energetic and edgy; there is definitely a hint of romance and attraction from numerous angles.
