ABOUT THE BOOK: Release December 2013

Their friendship will test the fabric of tradition, duty and destiny…

There are only two seasons in Godenor: summer and winter. Weather brings the only surprises to a society where everything is planned, and everyone’s status is determined at birth…by the color of their hair.

Rinna has the right hair, Drexi the wrong, and Prelly is almost too ordinary — in every way but..

**********************

REVIEW: One of the greatest perks about reading is you get to escape reality and lose yourself in another world, time in history or era. It’s fun to lose yourself in forests that are bursting with color or opulent mansions but all I can say is you don’t want to lose yourself in this world I’m about to tell you about. This is a place call Godenor where you don’t Get to choose your destiny but your hair color does along with your irrh measurements like length, weight and other things. If you have blonde hair, you get an education and special treatment. If you have black hair and didn’t measure up, you likely got sent to a labor camp to be a servant or what they call a “dinwa”. This book reminds me Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and Lois Lowry’s The Giver where everything is planned and people’s destinies are chosen for them.

This book was a captivating page turner from the first page where one mother with the highest status falls from grace and another ordinary mother rises in status when she gives birth to the perfect child with a head full of golden hair. Rinna, Drexi and Prelly are three friends who start a ripple effect that will change the Allocation system of Godenor. They are all so different from each other but it’s those differences that bring them together. I really enjoyed their friendship but found myself saddened at times when it seemed like their friendship was strained because of their circumstances. Drexi, Rinna and Prelly all had traits that I really came to admire like Drexi’s strength, Rinna’s confidence and Prelly’s courage. Of the three, Drexi was the one who really stood out to me. Drexi was destined to be a ” dinwa” because of her black hair and her failure in her first exam but she in her own way chose who own destiny. I appreciated her rebellious ways from the labor camp and her fearlessness to take risks even if it meant for her to be killed. She showed much how she clearly had a mind of her own despite how controlling Godenor is to their citizens. She proved to be bright, and tough physically and mentally.

I honestly thought the “caste-like” system and allocations were downright stupid to let something other than yourself to decide your destiny. I felt like it affected Godenor in so many negative ways, it’s no wonder there was a group trying to start a rebellion against it. It was saddening to see Rinna long to choose her fate but feel hopeless when her fate is already decided for her. Or to see Drexi work so hard to prove herself so that she was worth more than becoming a “dinwa”. And who can forget poor Prelly that she felt so hopeless that she can’t find anything she is good at that she constantly feared for her future. A word of warning, this book did get intense with adult situations like rape, violence, abuse, and death. Don’t get me wrong because I really liked this book. This book was surreal, poignant and intense. This book is so jammed packed with emotion that you can’t put this book down without feeling unaffected, this book gets under your skin in ways you didn’t think of and draw a lot of emotions out of you. While I love happy themed books and happy endings, I also respect book that draw strong emotions out of you and thought-provoking such as this book. I admit that many aspects and elements of this book pissed me off to no end but I highly recommend this book and would even read this book again. 🙂

How is Deadline Stress Killing Your Writing?

Whether the deadline has been imposed on you by an editor, a publication date or even your own strict goal-setting rules, it’s stressful to be on a specific timeline. You’re working against the clock, and no matter how much time remains on that clock you can hear it ticking. It’s always there, it’s always waiting…and it’s always capable of causing you stress. But do you really know what deadline stress is doing to your ability to write?

eyes wide open

Under Pressure

Stress will affect your thought processes If you’re writing under duress and feeling the pressure, you won’t be writing at your best. Stress can wreck your concentration and even hamper your ability to take in new information. It will affect short-term memory (so you can’t keep track of what you’re writing) and leads to hasty decisions. None of this is the stuff of well-crafted writing.

Stress triggers a physical reaction as well. It can create tension in the muscles, speed up the heart rate and even affect your reflexes. You can’t write well if you’re writing tense and feeling frenzied. Stress is a real problem if you’re trying to write…so how can it be solved?

Clearly, the answer is to get rid of writing deadlines. Us creative types need time to think and digest and plan and imagine, right? The trouble is, that’s not going to happen. The deadlines are never going to go away, so every writer has to find their own healthy (stress-free) ways to deal with them.

Relief is Spelled R-E-L-A-X

You can’t change the deadlines, but you can change your approach to them and the way you manage them. Don’t let tasks fall through the cracks. Use a calendar program to keep track of your schedule and the tasks you need to complete. Google has one built-in, and you can even sync it to an app on your phone. When you know what’s in store for the day, and the week, there’s less risk that tasks will creep up on you.

Walk away every once in a while. Don’t just write continuously in an effort to stay ahead of the deadlines. Take a break every few hours. Go out with friends in the evening, or shopping in the afternoon. Creativity flows best when you free your mind, and you need recreation to avoid a stress overload.

Don’t wait. If you have time today to work on something that’s due tomorrow, then do it. Procrastination will only cause you more stress, and that makes it harder to complete your work. Get done ahead of schedule whenever possible.

And don’t forget to breathe. It’s going to be okay, even if you can’t make a deadline. Write an email, tell them you’re working on it and get back to grinding out those words. Just keep doing what you do, and it’s going to be fine. In other words, don’t let the deadline stress get to you. There will always be deadlines, but they’re not always going to beat you.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 21, 2014

Making daggers out of raindrops is only the tip of the iceberg for Brooke Bonham. As one of four women who can control the elements, her ability to manipulate water packs a deluge of potential. Eager to learn more, she’s frustrated at the precautions she must take to avoid the wrong kind of attention on Earth.

Kai’s duties as a Lash demon have kept him busy on Earth for nearly two hundred years. Fighting? He was born to do it. Females? They’re drawn to him. And Earth? The perfect place for him to avoid supernatural bounty hunters.

Though the two of them mix like oil and water, Kai senses that beneath Brooke’s frosty exterior hides a vortex of simmering passion. He’s determined to thaw his ice princess.

Forced to work together in the immortal realm, they track a rogue Lash demon at the helm of a widespread kidnapping operation. All too soon, Kai’s dark past catches up to them. Time runs out as a second enemy, bent on revenge, vows to stop at nothing short of Brooke’s enslavement and Kai’s death. As they and their foes stalk each other in a demonic game of cat-and-mouse, will her evolving skills and their fledgling bond be enough to save them?

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

If I had to describe this book with one word, the word would be busy. This book had a lot going on with many fun and interesting elements. I mean what’s not to love about this book? You get a vast variety of creatures with their own unique abilities, exploration of the many places in the realm of Torth, amazing fights scenes, adventure that leaves you on the edge of your seat and scorching hot love scenes. This book was the total package grabbing my attention from the prologue where our hero, Kai, fights for his life against a Neshi in a ring as a gladiator slave and then he proceeds to escape days later. I remember being on the edge of my seat during the action while rooting for Kai.

What I enjoyed the most is the main couple; Kai and Brooke. Sorry to sound cliché but Kai and Brooke are a match made in heaven. Physically and emotionally, there was some real chemistry between them. It was a real treat watching the romance grow and build throughout the story; though it was amusing that they didn’t really like each other in the beginning. While I am all for love at first sight, I am very partial to love that builds and grows. While in action, the two are an awesome pair with Kai’s Lash Demon abilities and Brooke’s Solsti abilities with water. There’s nothing wrong when a man is protective of his girl, but I really liked Kai’s confidence in Brooke’s abilities and as he didn’t hinder her but encouraged her. You’ll love everything about Kai and Brooke.

The witch Rosa and her abilities are super fun. The pace of the book was spot on and perfect, the pace didn’t drag and didn’t feel too fast. I also appreciate the overkill on the sensory imagery the story provided. The only complaint about the book was I felt like this book was not a suitable stand alone book. There were many references to the previous book and I felt a little lost since I didn’t read the first book. Overall, I enjoyed this book immensely and I desire back tracking to read book #1.

Genre: Historical Romance

The Christmas Cuckoo

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 2013

ebook only .99cents: Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO /

Major Jack Howard, a weary veteran of the Peninsular Wars, has just returned to England and intends to return to an unwelcoming family home for Christmas. But when a pompous secretary gives him too many orders, Jack hops on the next stagecoach leaving London inn, not caring where it’s going. Too much whisky to stave off freezing leaves him sleeping it off in a different inn, and when an attractive young woman asks if he’s Jack Howard he happily goes home with her.

Despite vile weather, Meg Lambert drives to the local inn to collect her brother’s friend Jack Howard, but since she’s never met the man, she doesn’t realize that she’s brought home the wrong Jack Howard. Jack realizes her mistake when he awakes the next morning with an aching head—but he finds a warmth and welcome with Meg and her family that he’s yearned for all his life. He can’t bring himself to admit that he’s a cuckoo in her nest—but what will happen when Meg’s brother and the right Jack Howard turn up for Christmas???

••••••••••••••••••

Tis the season to be jolly! The jolliness of this story is truly contagious. When the most unlikely people come together anything can happen. So what happens when tight-knit family, the Lamberts and loner war veteran, Jack Howard get together during the holidays?

Tired and weary from endless travel Jack Howard rebels against the countess’s wishes, boards a random stagecoach, gets drunk with a fellow passenger on the stagecoach, and passes out in a tavern in Chippenham. Meg Lambert hopes to find a husband for her little sister, Phoebe and goes out to pick up her brother’s friend whose name just also happens to be Jack Howard with hopes that the two will click. What happens is Meg picks up the wrong Jack Howard. In a whirlwind of doing regular chores, baking and singing in the spirit of the holidays, and prepping for the holidays Jack Howard starts to yearn for many of the things the Lambert Family has to offer that he hasn’t felt in a long time such as warmth, comfort, and the overall feeling of acceptance and belonging. In the midst of all that, there is a blossoming romance between Jack Howard and Meg Lambert. So what happens when the big brother Jeremy who is due to be home for Christmas comes in with the intended Jack Howard in tow with him? Will the mix up change the feelings Jack and Meg have for each other?

Throughout the story I always wondered why the story the story was called “The Christmas Cuckoo” when it seemed like a family love story. The reason why this story is called “The Christmas Cuckoo” is an interesting concept of the cuckoo birds and their habits of laying their eggs in the nests of other birds, therefore leaving the burden of raising the offspring to the nest of the bird the cuckoo laid their eggs in. The concept sounds familiar about the cuckoo bird laying their eggs in the wrong nest *ahem* Jack Howard. Jack Howard is the cuckoo bird who ended up in the wrong nest. Also there is a cuckoo bird clock that is significant in the story as well. The cuckoo bird is actually quite symbolic in this story.

I really enjoyed the focus on family and love through I felt like the story could’ve focused on the budding romance between Jack and Meg a little more. I kind of felt like there I was something missing or more to be desired from their romance. I did enjoy the significance of the cuckoo bird, I found it to be quite interesting. Everything worked in the end and it was a pretty good book, but it wasn’t my favorite. Honestly, I would rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.

Spell of Binding (Dark Caster #2) by Anna Abner – a review

Spell of binding

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 15, 2013

Daniela Ferraro can’t touch people without hurting them. So when she wakes up in the Dark Caster’s cell next to the one man guaranteed to mess with her heart, she will risk anything to escape.

David Wilkes has no idea why he’s been abducted and thrown in a locked room with Dani, the woman who jilted him two years ago. But when the Dark Caster threatens David’s four year old son, David will not stop until Ryan is safe and the evil necromancers tormenting him are destroyed.

When Dani’s powers are bound and her necromancer friends are out of commission, the only way to protect the people she cares about and keep the Chaos Gate firmly closed is to trust in David.

But the closer Dani gets to David the more lethal her touch becomes for the only man she’s ever loved.

**********************

REVIEW: Welcome back to the world of necromancers, witches, spells and a dark caster out to destroy the world complete with a cute love story tied up as a bow on top of the package. The story continues from the first book with Holden and Rebecca where witch Daniela disappears shortly after helping them. It turns out Daniela was abducted by evil casters Carver and Jeff who need her magic for their own selfish needs. The story starts with Daniela and heart throb hero David in captivity at the hands of Carver and Jeff.

David and Daniela do have some kind of romantic history together but it wasn’t a good one so you can imagine how awkward it is to realize you are captured with a person you did have such a history with. Out of desperation, David and Daniela do escape with the price that Daniela’s powers are bounded and hindered. This puts David in the position to tap into his hidden necromancer abilities which he didn’t know he had. In this journey to fight Carver and Jeff’s evil clutches all the while saving Cole who is Daniela’s friend from going insane from a spell, freeing Daniela’s powers, honing David’s necromancer skills, setting a troubled teenage girl straight and protecting David’s four year old son. With all that being said, you would think they have a lot on their plate.

Despite all that, there is a lot of romantic development between the couple that I really enjoyed. At first they are awkward and tense around each other but you see the growing chemistry show itself more and more. If you thought Holden and Rebecca are steamy, David and Daniela take it up another notch more. Yum! What I really appreciate about the couple is that while it is normal to have emotional or romantic baggage and they both had their fair share of baggage, they worked with each other on it. One of the aspects that I really liked about this story was the whole second chance at love facet. I can say I fell in love with David and Daniela, they are such likeable characters! David and Daniela both possess that selflessness and are always ready to help a friend in need. They are also described as one sexy couple that for some reason they remind me of Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum by the way they are physically described. I love the balance of this book where one facet wasn’t skimped whether it was the building love story, the overall story arc of the series, the little cameos of Holden and Rebecca from the first book and the really cool paranormal aspects. There was not a part where I felt like the story dragged but kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I highly recommend the series to a friend and I look forward to more books in the series.

A Hunka Hunka Nursing Love by Kathryn Maeglin-a review

A Hunka Hunka Nursing Love by Kathryn Maeglin-a review

A Hunka Hunka Nursing Love

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release June 25, 2013

Imagine a visiting-nurse service with hot young guys as caregivers. What golden girl wouldn’t dig that?

Valerie Palka is a savvy businesswoman who is obsessed with keeping her elderly mom, Helen, safe from all the lethal disasters that can befall widows living alone. Helen thinks the workaholic Valerie should focus on having as much luck in the bedroom as she does in the boardroom. But when Helen takes a spill and is rushed to the ER, a handsome male nurse, Keith Nuber, strikes her fancy, and she tells her daughter, “If you could get a handsome devil like that to take care of me, I’d be willing to consider it.” So Valerie creates a care agency, Home Health Hunks, staffed by attractive younger men.

Valerie’s idea is filled with potential . . . and potholes. As she navigates the tricky road to satisfying her mom as well as her own ambition, she finds herself falling for one of her employees—Keith—and is forced to examine her beliefs about the true meaning of success.

*********************

I must admit this story really surprised me. Judging from the title and looking at the cover gave me the impression this was going to be a cheesy story that would be a play on fantasies. Don’t get me wrong as “cheesy” is not a bad thing as cheesy can be fun or comical. So my preconceived notions of this book was it was going to be a story of steamy and racy play on fantasies of “hunky” male nurses “treating” their patients if you get my drift complete with a cheesy plot….boy was I wrong…

While there are hot males nurses and steamy sex scenes, there are a lot of good life messages in this book. Life messages of family, love, friendship and the overall appreciation of what you have as clichĂŠ as that sounds.

Workaholic Valerie Palka cares for her mother to the best of her abilities what with her mother’s stubbornness to be independent on top of being able to run a successful childcare business. On paper you would say that Valerie is your typical superwoman who can do it all but with one little rough patch in her life, her failing marriage. On one faithful day after a little accident that injures Valerie’s mother’s ankle, Valerie meets hunk nurse Keith Nuber which gives Valerie an idea to run a caregivers business in which hunky men are the caregivers. At first I thought the idea was a little silly but as I read more into the story I thought the idea wasn’t so silly but actually pretty creative. Valerie is in for a roller coaster ride of facing a divorce, running two businesses, caring for her mother, and falling for her employee Keith. The ride only gets crazier when the unexpected blows up in Valerie’s face. So did Valerie really bite off more than she can chew? This book reminds me of the movie Click where the hero gets so career driven that he loses sight of the really important things in life except Valerie wises up in time but with a sad price.

This story had a lot of fun and interesting elements in it. Cougar, senior citizen, and same sex love stories yet for some reason the author knows how to tie them together seamlessly and make it sweet and heartwarming. I really liked Keith from the get-go with his good looks, sincerity that he cares, and his overall goody-two shoes ways but I must admit that the only thing that bothered me was that Keith was well too “prefect.” I really enjoyed this story and even admit that I wouldn’t mind reading it again. This book brought me back to earth again not to judge a book or even title as this book had a lot of good significances with a good touch of humor going on in it.

Seal Girl by Magda Knight-a review

Seal Girl by Magda Knight-a review

 

Seal Girl

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 29, 2013

Ondine is the new girl at school, and with her flaming red hair, Irish accent and deformed hands, she’s used to being the odd girl out. She tells herself that she simply doesn’t care. But like the mythical selkies who swim in the cold Atlantic, Ondine swims to championships in high school pools, where she feels free. She chooses to be a free spirit, but when someone close starts to play dirty, it seems she runs out of choices …

Seal Girl is another contemporary take on a classical myth. Meet more brave teens tackling real-life issues in the entire Mythology High series. Knight’s next stories, “Geek Girl,” and “Glee Girl,” will be released in June and July. Jammie Kern’s stories, “Ryann in the Sky,” and “Taylor on Lockdown,” are available now.

•••••••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW:  I found this to be a cute yet odd story. So this story introduces an interesting tidbit about Selkies in which stem from Celtic folklore as mermaids but not as they take the form of seals in water but humans on land. There is a crazy catch to all this as these Selkies shed their seal skins to go to land which can cause people to steal their skins to keep them trapped on land. Sounds like a messed up joke if you ask me.

You meet Ondine in detention in which she meets Mitch who is a football jock who she believes is a man who wouldn’t give her the time of day. Upon meeting Ondine, you do feel for her as she describes herself as awkward with having type IV syndactyly which give her oddly shaped hands and being a swimmer; her classmates all call her Flipper with her odd hands and affinity in the water. Sadly, there are even girls who do pick on her because of her differences. Despite all that though it seems as though Ondine actually does make a friend with Candy and Mitch actually seems to have a crush on her.

I find it very sudden on how Mitch comes on to Ondine as strongly as he does but then again this was a very short story along with how well Ondine and Candy do click at Mitch’s party.

I wanted to like this story but in all honesty it just felt a little incomplete and a tad flat for me. I really did like the whole Selkie concept in the story but I felt like they could have gone into it just a little more in the story. The characters are likeable but I wanted just a little more from them. The end left me hanging leaving me wondering what happened next, did she and Mitch get together or not. Don’t get me wrong there was still a lot to like from the book. Overall this was an okay story.

The Vampire Affair Part II by Vivi Anna -a review

The Vampire Affair Part 2 by Vivi Anna – a review

The Vampire Affair Part 2

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca /

Release Date: April 23, 2013

If you thought part one was steamy and charged with sexual fervor, then you have not read part two. In part one it is more than established that journalist Mikayla and business man, Jonathan have some serious chemistry. The story picks up where it left off a day or two I would presume after that saucy encounter in the hotel stairwell.

It doesn’t take long before Mikayla and Jonathan finally act on their passions…behind a bush in a secluded area. It doesn’t end with this sexy episode as there are more saucy scenes that go on as Mikayla and Jonathan just can’t get enough of each other. What’s sweet about this book is that it’s not just about sex but they are intimate on an emotional level. Due to their circumstances, they are both a little on the emotionally guarded side in which I can understand with Mikayla keeping up the emotional shield because it’s supposed to be business and Jonathan being a public figure in which the press always targets and creates rumors about him. So to see they both slowly but surely let their guards down around each other is very relieving. Despite that, they are both hiding something from each other.

In the midst of it all, it seems like everything is about to blow up in Mikayla’s face when a rival reporter goes rogue on Mikayla’s case, Jonathan’s publicist being a major jerk to her and tries what he can to get rid of her, her boss about to fire her but most of all the reveal of her true identity to Jonathan. So did Mikayla bite of more than she can chew and went way over her head with this situation? Has she fallen for Jonathan? Will the secrets finally come out about Mikayla real identity to Jonathan or the fact that Jonathan is a vampire? I won’t give anything too big away except everything really does work out in the end and that no one’s gets broken in this one.

Part 2 did not disappoint me but it was such a short story that it may as well have been part of the first part. Mikayla is demure yet has a boldness that surprises you. Jonathan really surprises me that he is actually a really good guy even though the press loves to muck up his image that he is a scumbag when he is really not. So I highly enjoyed part 2 greatly just felt like it should just be part of part 1 and just be a novel. Other than that I didn’t have any other complaints about the books.

The Vampire Affair by Vivi Anna – review

The Vampire Affair

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca/

ABOUT THE BOOK: Re-released April 1, 2013

Makayla Bradley, a small-time journalist, risks everything including her job to get the goods on billionaire playboy Jonathan Devane. A man who enthralled her from a single passionate kiss months prior. A man who makes her blood race and her thighs tingle. A man with dark secrets…

••••••••••••••••••

A fast paced novella of one sexually charged game of cat and mouse. The sexual tension between Mikayla and Jonathan is tangible that sex just fizzles in the air around them. What starts out as a simple meeting of eyes in the club escalates to a sexy chase game.

Rookie reporter Mikayla is determined to make a niche for herself in the journalism world even if it means crossing a few lines. To do that she sought to make a story of famous and ruthless businessman who is also a renowned womanizer, Jonathan. What starts out as a story turns into obsession and ulterior motives of seduction. As Mikayala comes up with a scheme to assume another identity to infiltrate the hotel Jonathan is staying at so she can get to Jonathan and get the “dirt” on him.

As the two have more encounters with each other, is it still business and only about the story or has Mikayla bitten off more than she can chew and has fallen for Jonathan?

The humor is amusingly crude ranging from juice being thrown in a rival reporters face, ridiculous disguises, packages of penis chocolates and a very interesting convention. This novella was highly enjoyable but leaves you wanting more. This was truly was very fun read and I am excited to get part 2. I admit this book was a little raunchy and the plot reminded me of something out a of pardon my language for this but a porn yet don’t get me wrong because the book had body and life to it and I can respect and appreciate that. So words to describe this book are sexy, fast-paced and overall fun.
