In his Avenging Angel Detective Agency Mysteries, Brighton exposes the turbulence of the era - its passions, dreams, and disasters - against a backdrop of careful research on the places, sights, sounds, and smells of the time. <br /><br />When he is not walking the streets in the footsteps of the Avenging Angels, sniffing out unsolved mysteries, Brighton is an adventurer. He has traveled in more than 50 countries around the world, personally throwing himself into every situation his characters will face - from underground ruins to opium dens - and (so far) living to tell about it. <br /><br />A graduate of the Sorbonne, Paris, Brighton is an avid student of early 20th Century history and literature, an ardent and relentless investigator, and an admirer of Emily Dickinson and Jim Morrison. He lives in Virginia with his wife and their two cats. </span></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Author links:</span></div><div><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://robertbrightonauthor.com/&source=gmail&ust=1710781744369000&usg=AOvVaw0canv4j2RjcVihYQkO5TE1" href="https://robertbrightonauthor.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">https://robertbrightonauthor.<wbr></wbr>com/</span></a></div><div><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.instagram.com/avengingangeldetectiveagency/&source=gmail&ust=1710781744369000&usg=AOvVaw1dROg15OU005LDnGsktspD" href="https://www.instagram.com/avengingangeldetectiveagency/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">https://www.instagram.com/<wbr></wbr>avengingangeldetectiveagency/</span></a></div><div><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.pinterest.ca/robertbrightonauthor/&source=gmail&ust=1710781744369000&usg=AOvVaw3tHr4RyoV78Of0EgEd-V9V" href="https://www.pinterest.ca/robertbrightonauthor/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">https://www.pinterest.ca/<wbr></wbr>robertbrightonauthor/</span></a></div><div><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7975296.Robert_Brighton&source=gmail&ust=1710781744370000&usg=AOvVaw1s5HglR-JuOh5J5gh6gBdU" href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7975296.Robert_Brighton" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">https://www.goodreads.com/<wbr></wbr>author/show/7975296.Robert_<wbr></wbr>Brighton</span></a></div><div style="font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: small;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><a class="rcptr" data-raflid="d04251235708" data-template="5655a8e7a10e8a6c420b26cc" data-theme="classic" href="http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/d04251235708/" id="rcwidget_geg280w6" rel="nofollow">a Rafflecopter giveaway</a>

bestselling author Stephanie Dray returns with a captivating and richly
dramatic novel about American heroine Frances Perkins, who pulled the nation
out of the Great Depression.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
Raised on tales of her revolutionary ancestors, Frances Perkins arrives in New
York City at the turn of the century, armed with her trusty parasol and an
unyielding determination to make a difference.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
When she’s not working with children in the crowded tenements in Hell’s
Kitchen, Frances throws herself into the social scene in Greenwich Village,
befriending an eclectic group of politicians, artists, and activists, including
the millionaire socialite Mary Harriman Rumsey, the flirtatious budding author
Sinclair Lewis, and the brilliant but troubled reformer Paul Wilson, with whom
she falls deeply in love.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
But when Frances meets a young lawyer named Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a tea
dance, sparks fly in all the wrong directions. She thinks he’s a rich, arrogant
dilettante who gets by on a handsome face and a famous name. He thinks she’s a
priggish bluestocking and insufferable do-gooder. Neither knows it yet, but
over the next twenty years, they will form a historic partnership that will
carry them both to the White House.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
Frances is destined to rise in a political world dominated by men, facing down
the Great Depression as FDR’s most trusted lieutenant—even as she struggles to
balance the demands of a public career with marriage and motherhood. And when
vicious political attacks mount and personal tragedies threaten to derail her
ambitions, she must decide what she’s willing to do—and what she’s willing to
sacrifice—to save a nation.<o:p></o:p></span></span><p></p>

history, specifically women, that I did not know about and making them relevant

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;">Frances Perkins is a part of history from the Great
Depression.</span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;"> </span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;">She is the driving force
behind Social Security, and a voice that FDR listens to.</span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;"> </span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;">I love that even though she is a woman, she
is a force to be listened to.</span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;"> </span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;">She
fights her battles, knows how to push for what she believes in but also knows
when to take a step back and reevaluate how to get it done.</span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;"> </span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;">Her connections help her get her projects
done and she is not afraid to speak her mind.</span><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;"> </span></span></p>

Only, he has no idea who got him out. Or why. And then he comes face to face with the one man he hasn’t seen in years: Harland Carter—president of The Savage Bloods and Steven’s former best friend. Turns out, Harland needs Steven’s help, and it’s a matter of life or death.<br /><br /><b><i>She vowed to never get involved…<br /></i></b>Since the death of her twin brother and the creation of The Savage Bloods MC, Cassandra “Cassie” Carter swore she’d never have anything to do with that club—or her brother. And definitely not the man who took her virginity and then left her for said club. But then Steven crashes back into her life, and everything comes crumbling down around her.<br /><br /><b><i>She’s the target…<br /></i></b>A madman intent on seeking revenge against The Savage Bloods MC club has his sights set on Cassie. Now, she has no choice but to get involved with the club and entrust her safety to them. To make matters worse, Steven isn’t just protecting her life, he’s stealing her heart. Again. And if she can’t trust him, she’ll end up dead.</span></p><div><div><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Goodreads</b>: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203905951-savage-passion&source=gmail&ust=1710413972769000&usg=AOvVaw2_XHkuP8hUz2LVYWuI3x4s" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/203905951-savage-passion" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.<wbr></wbr>goodreads.com/book/show/<wbr></wbr>203905951-savage-passion</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Purchase</b>:</span></div></div></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Amazon: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://amzn.to/48WUYKZ&source=gmail&ust=1710413972769000&usg=AOvVaw0xQDVFtms4e1Q1jg0pw-km" href="https://amzn.to/48WUYKZ" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/<wbr></wbr>48WUYKZ</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">B&N: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/savage-passion-ember-sparks/1144491735&source=gmail&ust=1710413972769000&usg=AOvVaw0WMzLn6kNi7UCp5pmHb736" href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/savage-passion-ember-sparks/1144491735" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.<wbr></wbr>barnesandnoble.com/w/savage-<wbr></wbr>passion-ember-sparks/<wbr></wbr>1144491735</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">iBooks: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://books.apple.com/us/book/savage-passion/id6474357360&source=gmail&ust=1710413972769000&usg=AOvVaw0NEOZUsBk9yzDfmKr0wBAL" href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/savage-passion/id6474357360" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://books.apple.<wbr></wbr>com/us/book/savage-passion/<wbr></wbr>id6474357360</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Kobo: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/savage-passion-2&source=gmail&ust=1710413972769000&usg=AOvVaw2mfHwoYHdDeKFe8-vXg5Rb" href="https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/savage-passion-2" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/<wbr></wbr>ebook/savage-passion-2</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2WfINjfqELzFgnnCsZ2oVl_-xjAQWW6L3Hz00XRehCrXZrIKnyVZsGgretyDZEvYbxqpw_UWZPGTDRFKsIY6gidWeXaxEg6CgMFdP2IqSDgKbj84gm-WVwigONuPRdqxLb1vM7w1vL0S36gNcfy9WjIetVw41JqGHaG4WACjRGXw4gIvpeBJgJVu7keje/s1800/INSTA_SavagePassion.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1730" data-original-width="1800" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2WfINjfqELzFgnnCsZ2oVl_-xjAQWW6L3Hz00XRehCrXZrIKnyVZsGgretyDZEvYbxqpw_UWZPGTDRFKsIY6gidWeXaxEg6CgMFdP2IqSDgKbj84gm-WVwigONuPRdqxLb1vM7w1vL0S36gNcfy9WjIetVw41JqGHaG4WACjRGXw4gIvpeBJgJVu7keje/s320/INSTA_SavagePassion.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidMXgKkAv7CInq_cz2TQduuvP5Hp0MAETguHSBiKauUn763SBbPg5oe6HzAB_ge3gC7-DM0abHm13IOMOjcMt7sQrAG9UEfkT8z3ac0Q4Rha6MNQ3o1uFOxP3wwgSQJGWyp4JGqDNmxsQr3HmfvLzzSLEHKbYi0IxA3tp1IpXWOJ82pkCPuRVr9bREfxVA/s300/Ember.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidMXgKkAv7CInq_cz2TQduuvP5Hp0MAETguHSBiKauUn763SBbPg5oe6HzAB_ge3gC7-DM0abHm13IOMOjcMt7sQrAG9UEfkT8z3ac0Q4Rha6MNQ3o1uFOxP3wwgSQJGWyp4JGqDNmxsQr3HmfvLzzSLEHKbYi0IxA3tp1IpXWOJ82pkCPuRVr9bREfxVA/w200-h200/Ember.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />AUTHOR BIO:</span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Ember Sparks is a passionate steamy romance author who draws inspiration from personal experiences and the world around her.

Divorced for six years and starved for passion, she goes on a wild one-night stand with a hot, much younger bartender. But then, the tattooed barman strolls into her startup. Surprise! Turns out he is Erez Ben Ami, the CPA assigned to go over their books with a fine-tooth comb.<br /><br />Erez is a single dad, with a young brother to support. His boss offers him a dream position, but there’s a catch: first, review a new, promising startup and make it as favorable as possible. His future is on the line, and he must suppress his feelings for Dafna, keeping his hands and other parts to himself.<br /><br />Dafna can’t stop wanting Erez, he is the man who made her get over her ex-husband. They spend hours together, and soon, they’re using the office desks for more than emails.<br /><br />Erez is falling for Dafna, she is the woman he has always looked for. When he suspects shady dealings within her company, he finds himself at a loss. Investigating it can cost him his dream job, as well as the love of his life.<br /><br />Pulling Her Resources is a stand-alone later-in-life steamy romance featuring a forbidden workplace affair, financial intrigue and a Happy Ever After.</span></p><div><div><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Goodreads</b>: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/206200195-pulling-her-resources&source=gmail&ust=1710033610697000&usg=AOvVaw2SybKUEhV6c4RvNXFYXnVL" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/206200195-pulling-her-resources" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.<wbr></wbr>goodreads.com/book/show/<wbr></wbr>206200195-pulling-her-<wbr></wbr>resources</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Purchase</b>:</span></div></div></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Amazon: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://amzn.to/3Trsi8J&source=gmail&ust=1710033610697000&usg=AOvVaw1gu94AEI4rsww0giFg-oYE" href="https://amzn.to/3Trsi8J" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/<wbr></wbr>3Trsi8J</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">B&N: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/pulling-her-resources-mia-sivan/1144775158&source=gmail&ust=1710033610697000&usg=AOvVaw3BR4cGYnSg6b5-t5u2Wm2b" href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/pulling-her-resources-mia-sivan/1144775158" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.<wbr></wbr>barnesandnoble.com/w/pulling-<wbr></wbr>her-resources-mia-sivan/<wbr></wbr>1144775158</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8frmUge6eLTlX-rEIvELLkLdBd7clY6kqhC48FUiFUSm0BLbSxAdE8gXbSAyvqKzogVJe-fKNKKbO7AjdeXegAqqxy3zzOQHfY-MZsKopxnvnpkisltie92T-ysDVmb3n1pKiJUjeR1hiNDrWeBr2EK9tTXibEGUysJ4_qlE-f94FaldImPVsuHwUsQfS/s1080/kindle%20plus%20paperback.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8frmUge6eLTlX-rEIvELLkLdBd7clY6kqhC48FUiFUSm0BLbSxAdE8gXbSAyvqKzogVJe-fKNKKbO7AjdeXegAqqxy3zzOQHfY-MZsKopxnvnpkisltie92T-ysDVmb3n1pKiJUjeR1hiNDrWeBr2EK9tTXibEGUysJ4_qlE-f94FaldImPVsuHwUsQfS/s320/kindle%20plus%20paperback.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi-_rq35WiS1puWF06BfWdOCCRiTis2PquMRNw-VOucJcKbOHsjEUwVPR6LoRvVcX4jqFMaBV9MA0G5T-7_bN30vZoKDaucz2VgPgUDwxUooYksFfYc9FRZ5Hrl6PJ74ZoweX3SggpO3kGBntRJly80WueDvDsS973zZDyfuQSOy4lM-dTFEfFFUSL-ets/s450/Mia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="450" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi-_rq35WiS1puWF06BfWdOCCRiTis2PquMRNw-VOucJcKbOHsjEUwVPR6LoRvVcX4jqFMaBV9MA0G5T-7_bN30vZoKDaucz2VgPgUDwxUooYksFfYc9FRZ5Hrl6PJ74ZoweX3SggpO3kGBntRJly80WueDvDsS973zZDyfuQSOy4lM-dTFEfFFUSL-ets/w200-h200/Mia.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />AUTHOR BIO:</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Mia Sivan is an Israeli woman who lives, works and loves in Tel Aviv.

A Most English Princess comes a rich novel about young Princess Alix of
Hesse—the future Alexandra, last Empress of Imperial Russia—and her sister,
Princess Ella. Their decision to marry into the Romanov royal family changed
history. They were granddaughters of Queen Victoria and two of the most
beautiful princesses in Europe. Princesses Alix and Ella were destined to wed
well and wisely. But while their grandmother wants to join them to the English
and German royal families, the sisters fall in love with Russia—and the
Romanovs. Defying the Queen’s dire warnings, Ella weds the tsar’s brother,
Grand Duke Serge. Cultivated, aloof, and proud, Serge places his young wife on
a pedestal for all to admire. Behind palace gates, Ella struggles to secure
private happiness. Alix, whisked away to Russia for Ella’s wedding, meets and
captivates Nicky—heir apparent to the Russian throne. While loving him deeply,
Alix hears a call of conscience, urging her to walk away. Their fateful
decisions to marry will lead to tragic consequences for not only themselves and
their families, but for millions in Russia and around the globe. The Romanov
Brides is a moving and fascinating portrait of two bold and spirited royal
sisters, and brings to vivid life imperial Russia—a dazzling, decadent world on
the brink of disappearing forever. </span><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;">My Thoughts: </span></b><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat;">The Romanov Brides is the story of two sisters and their
journey into the Russian royalty. There
are many expectations that come with marrying royalty and the two sisters must
make tough decisions on whether to follow their hearts. It was interesting to watch them struggle
with themselves and their families to make decisions that will change their
lives forever. Their hearts have them
falling in love with Russian royalty, but it also has them questions everything
they have been taught about religion and family. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: medium;">This book had a lot happening, there was so much happening
in Russia and the royals were being watched at every turn. I devoured the book. I took it to work and read during my breaks,
I had it with me all the time because I could not get enough. </span></p>

Then she dumped me out of spite.<br /></i><br />All her life, Simone’s control-freak father fed her money as long as she played by his rules, even forcing her to sign a contract and punishing her if she took her beloved stepfather’s last name. I devised a plan and offered her my own contract, marrying Simone so she could keep the money and dump her dad’s name. Although our relationship had been as frenemies, our marriage transformed into the real deal. I fell in love with being Simone’s devoted husband. And with her. I thought. Until that night, a colossal argument shattered us. Like a trashy country song, she bailed on me and our marriage in my pickup truck and skipped town. It hurt like hell, but I had to honor our vows and try to win her back.<br /><br />Returning to Richmond, I watch Simone parading her loser dates as if it’s a sport. I start dating to help myself let go. But things hit a snag when Simone’s father shows up to stay with her for a week. She pleads with me to help her tell her father about our breakup instead of him discovering it and revoking her funds. At first, watching her squirm amuses me, but I’m not a total jackass. I’ll save her once more, but this time, I’m calling the shots, refusing to suffer through another painful breakup. Unfortunately, this infuriates Simone, but now she’s stuck with a husband for a week. Since I’m homeless, crashing with her works out. However, playing out our marriage in front of her father, stuff between Simone and me soon gets real. Way too real.<br /><br />Dating to avoid Simone only worsens things because of my intense attraction to her. She’s an addiction no rehab can fix. Yet, when she reciprocates the obsession, I freak out and push her too far all over again. But this time, the massive fallout changes us forever.<br /><br /><i>You’ll achieve maximum shock and awe if the Wild Sparks Series and The Keys to Jericho are read before this series.<br /></i><br /><b>WARNING</b>: Though Greg Rodwell is an office clown, his Unraveled Renegade series contains profuse graphic language, explicit sexual content, violence, and dark content not suitable for sensitive audiences.

For though Fiends have magic, beauty, and power, their immortal lives are restricted. Vampires must sate their blood lust. Wytches will crumble to dust when their magic runs out. Shapeshifting Haunts must keep their vicious beasts caged. Incubi and succubi cannot indulge in carnal pleasure without dire consequences.<br /><br />Novari is a human who bartends for Luccero, an alluring incubus and the star of her fantasies. She can’t have Luc, but she does have Keo, who also wouldn’t mind Luc’s touch. Keo, who loathes being a vampire, is in pursuit of a fabled cure that will turn Fiends human. A cure highly in demand as many Fiends crave freedom from their burdened lives.<br /><br />When an unexpected discovery about the cure’s location puts Novari and Keo in danger, they take refuge in Luccero’s sprawling manor. There, they contemplate how to stay safe … and succumb to each other’s seduction.<br /><br />The pleasure she finds with Luc and Keo makes Novari want to hide away forever, but when the danger zeroes in, they’ll have to figure out how to overcome it before the dream they’ve found together becomes a nightmare.</span></p><div><div><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Goodreads</b>: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/205585086-a-seduction-of-dreams-and-nightmares&source=gmail&ust=1710160111421000&usg=AOvVaw3dE93eEvr1UpNAst_umqWj" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/205585086-a-seduction-of-dreams-and-nightmares" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.<wbr></wbr>goodreads.com/book/show/<wbr></wbr>205585086-a-seduction-of-<wbr></wbr>dreams-and-nightmares</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Purchase</b>:</span></div></div></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Amazon: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://amzn.to/3IrQ4uQ&source=gmail&ust=1710160111421000&usg=AOvVaw3e75JZvaM2PgGgqB5Jemdw" href="https://amzn.to/3IrQ4uQ" rel="nofollow" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/<wbr></wbr>3IrQ4uQ</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6nmVZIvu8h4zPopqTMA_ZK1XlLMMlaDXyDGijImzLxv7ifg6u54M9OyhSGjKacDcoFr9VtqTG_deyMv0BFIcnBHvxQ28N8hGOZHhkDFwQcJlJ0I42Jir96JE9J_11N9ImB6ooWspEw4RzeBEhyphenhyphenS9kGn6VAlhL3aeqnb-qcQU6D3bukkf_h9M3IJHj-85L/s1080/D&N%20Graphics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6nmVZIvu8h4zPopqTMA_ZK1XlLMMlaDXyDGijImzLxv7ifg6u54M9OyhSGjKacDcoFr9VtqTG_deyMv0BFIcnBHvxQ28N8hGOZHhkDFwQcJlJ0I42Jir96JE9J_11N9ImB6ooWspEw4RzeBEhyphenhyphenS9kGn6VAlhL3aeqnb-qcQU6D3bukkf_h9M3IJHj-85L/s320/D&N%20Graphics.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD4xkkD7PySz1NwDzWXPZOmDo7SNJrDrJLnPoxjeu2ilhTCtsHrEQYJaS8BdJChBfxTZboGdqRdQBwBfLHz2AlGfs8KlgG1PwZWUsaYtS7TJHXjyYG_cAPfNtcLc6Nv3Gpqf43M9gLOTwzasY9ec8vRPLmvT1gTQdTpeyS0doyDvkT0iLl9t4tXVid6Rzt/s266/AJ.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="266" data-original-width="200" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD4xkkD7PySz1NwDzWXPZOmDo7SNJrDrJLnPoxjeu2ilhTCtsHrEQYJaS8BdJChBfxTZboGdqRdQBwBfLHz2AlGfs8KlgG1PwZWUsaYtS7TJHXjyYG_cAPfNtcLc6Nv3Gpqf43M9gLOTwzasY9ec8vRPLmvT1gTQdTpeyS0doyDvkT0iLl9t4tXVid6Rzt/s1600/AJ.jpeg" width="200" /></a></div><br />AUTHOR BIO:</span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">A.J.

Florida, 1978. Nineteen-year-old Chris is inexperienced in the world of
love, but that’s soon to change. In the summer between his high school
graduation and his admittance into, he delves into his first foray with
love—and comes out the other side burned. Yet he presses on, meeting
Quentin…and Cathy…and Anna Lina…But it’s not until one night when he locks eyes
with Chloe, that his world stops.Things are immediately easy with Chloe, and
they fall into each other’s arms and each other’s lives. But where Chris is
immediately smitten with tender love for Chloe, she guards her emotions,
holding herself back from saying “yes” to his love. As time and distance
separate the two, Chris must determine if Chloe is worth pursuing, and if he’ll
ever get her “yes.”Sweet, tender, and nostalgic, Tim Hunniecutt’s coming-of-age
romance story Getting to Yes is an ode to young love and commitment, and is not
to be missed.<o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b> </b></span></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>My Thoughts:</b> Chris is
a college student who wants to fall in love but does not lead with his
heart. I felt like I was reading his diary. His past relationships, I use this term loosely,
were shared during each chapter and I felt like he knew from the first meeting
of the girl that this was not the one for him.
Then he meets Chloe… everything
changes for him. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Chloe has not been shown the love she deserves and wants so
she is cautious with Chris.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">She
protects her heart but as she spends more time with Chris I can see her heart
opening and her mind accepting that she is lovable.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">I liked how cautious she was.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">It was good to see her not just jump right in
and risk getting hurt again.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">I will give this book
a solid 3.5 stars but that does not mean that I will put it on my bookshelf
(yes, I am keeping this book) and forgetting it. The rating of 3.5 stars comes from the
writing style. The conversations between
Chloe and Chris were awkward. Chris even
comments on all the nicknames Chloe uses.
There were times when the writing just did not flow easily for me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

People might think they’re two different places, but they’re not. They lay on top of each other. It’s messy, and that’s why so many people need my help. Since I was little, I’ve been called all kinds of names—<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">unusual, abnormal, even insane</em>. Which is fitting, since they keep throwing me in to mental facilities. I’ve been in and out of them my entire life.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But no matter what people say, no matter what I’m risking, I will always help those in need.</span></strong></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Because there’s an endless war carrying on all around us, every minute of every day. One that can’t be seen by mortal eyes. But I can see it, the spiritual battle for mortal souls, and I’m working hard to make sure my father is on the losing side. He — <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Astaroth, Satan’s general</em>— is why I can do this. He’s why I’m not normal. I can’t have friends, a life, or a boyfriend. I won’t be selfish enough to drag someone into this fight. But I’m not lonely. Not exactly. I have my mom. She’s my rock, my best friend, my partner. She helps me do what needs to be done, and she’s never afraid when it feels like I’m always afraid.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Because I hear my father whispering my name each night, his taunts echoing through the spiritual realm. He’s hunting me, and I know the day will come when I must face him again.</span></strong></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Every portal I open could be the one that finally pulls me back to Hell, and I wonder if I will <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">brave enough, strong enough, good enough</em> to fight him.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My name is Samantha Catherine Lopez, and I am Nephilim. This is my story.</span></strong></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: medium;">**Fans of the Alpha Girls series will love this new series set in the same world, with a few familiar faces, but you DO NOT have to have read a single word of the Alpha Girls series to enjoy Samantha’s story.</span></em></p><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><div style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Goodreads</b>: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123038320-invocation&source=gmail&ust=1710200370055000&usg=AOvVaw12WTJn1Mn-cBr3uh39HyGv" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/123038320-invocation" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.<wbr></wbr>goodreads.com/book/show/<wbr></wbr>123038320-invocation</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Purchase</b>:</span></div></div></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Amazon: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://amzn.to/3T9UUSh&source=gmail&ust=1710200370055000&usg=AOvVaw1fLVp8ZRvSoaBSIkSmZro-" href="https://amzn.to/3T9UUSh" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/<wbr></wbr>3T9UUSh</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">B&N: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/invocation-aileen-erin/1122623865&source=gmail&ust=1710200370055000&usg=AOvVaw34c3Aq4VNfCVdOqDjR-FqJ" href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/invocation-aileen-erin/1122623865" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://www.<wbr></wbr>barnesandnoble.com/w/<wbr></wbr>invocation-aileen-erin/<wbr></wbr>1122623865</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">iBooks: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://books.apple.com/us/book/invocation/id6445855349&source=gmail&ust=1710200370055000&usg=AOvVaw3D0IDfZ-DYY9uPRyDHq7l9" href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/invocation/id6445855349" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">https://books.apple.<wbr></wbr>com/us/book/invocation/<wbr></wbr>id6445855349</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">EXCERPT: I nodded but didn’t move my hand from my mouth. Even if I could think of something to</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">say, I wasn’t sure it’d be coherent.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“Is that really you?” he asked.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I nodded because I couldn’t do anything else. This day kept taking me by surprise, and this</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">time, I was truly speechless. For the best reason.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Was he taller? He’d been over six feet before, but he seemed bigger or more intimidating</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">now. Except he still had that smile, and his hazel-green eyes were breathtaking against his darker</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">tan skin. His hair wasn’t quite as short as before, but just long enough on top to have a slightly</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">messy look.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Was he hotter?</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Was that even possible? Because it shouldn’t have been, but I was looking at him and—</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Could my heart be beating any faster?</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I forced myself to breathe because I was freaking out.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“Samantha.” His voice said my name like it was special. A caress. With so much emotion</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">that it finally unfroze me.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“Hi, Phoenix.” My voice was softer than I meant it to be, but I couldn’t help it.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">“It’s so good to see you.” He closed the distance between us and gave me a hug.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I laughed and hugged him back. “It’s good to see you, too.”</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">If he hadn’t hugged me, if he didn’t feel warm, I would’ve thought this was a dream, but he</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">was real.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Frank was saying something, but I wasn’t hearing it.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Phoenix Herrera was hugging me.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">I couldn’t help but relax into his hold. I shouldn’t have. I shouldn’t have felt so</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">comfortable with him, and I wasn’t. I was nervous. But also, he felt right. Somehow. Impossibly.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">He felt right to me.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">My old neighbor from Los Angeles—the one who became an international soccer star, and</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">then retired after an injury earlier in the season this year—was here, hugging me.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">What in the world was he doing in Frank’s office?

Smart, sexy, and deeply revelatory, it will send you on an enthralling emotional journey you won’t forget.<br /><br />Fiona Turner, CEO of Fiona’s Flowers floral shop, hasn’t the time nor inclination to bother with men until she finally meets the face on the other end of the phone. Having remained friends, she never suspected her ex-husband, Quade, would morph into a terrifying, controlling, law-bending monster.

Better than back at your place?” I ask, since Holly
apparently is pretty tuned in to me.
“Actually...I don’t know. I feel like we need to meditate. I’m sure there’s something going on with
me and the moon tonight. I don’t feel really comfortable anywhere.” Her intuitive admonition
gives me a bad chill.
“It’s not just you,” I mumble.
Holly gives me an intense look and slight nod, like she knows there’s something ‘off’ about me.
“So what’s your story? Insomnia too?” she asks.
“Yeah...I get this way during the full moon sometimes.”
She looks at me with apprehension. Apparently she ain’t buying what I’m selling. “Okay, I would
assume you’re just excited about next weekend except you don’t look excited. You look like a
frazzled alleycat. Are you nervous about meeting that guy?”
Bo is the absolute last thing I want to talk about right now. “Oh...no,” I say, casually swatting my
hand to blow off the thought. “No, you were right. I was being silly over nothing at all. I have zero
interest in meeting any man these days, much less some limp wristed flower vendor.” I nod a
few times to drive my point home. I’m done with the flower guy.
“Oh hon, when are you gonna get out there and find someone to date again?”
“Hey, you were the one who knocked me for my enthusiasm over meeting flower vendors. And
I’m only interested in expanding my friends within the industry anyway.”
“That’s not what it sounded like when you told me about that guy,” she says with a smile.
“I’m sorry Holly, you misread me is all.” Holly frowns slightly and shrugs. “Are you getting sleepy
yet?” I ask right after Holly’s first yawn.
“Yeah...I think I might be. Any chance you’d be comforted by sharing a bed tonight?”
“Yes!” I blurt out with more enthusiasm than she was probably expecting.
“Okay,” Holly replies, laughing at me. “Shall we go to your room?”
“No!...sorry. I accidentally broke something in there earlier and there’s glass shards in the
carpet.”
“Oh, please, let me help you clean it up Fiona. I’m sure it would take five minutes and then we’ll
only be more ready for sleep.”
There’s nothing in me that wants to re-enter my bedroom tonight. “Let’s not...seriously, we might
have to dig tiny shards out or something. Honestly, I haven’t even looked at the wreckage.”
And with that, Holly rises from the bed and marches straight out of the office, down the hall, and
into my bedroom as though in a trance. Arriving just before me, she flicks on the light and her
jaw drops.
“Oh my goodness,” she says, covering her mouth with her hands. “How did you...drop your
lamp?” As she turns around, I can see her confusion.
“I kind of...had a nightmare.” The words come out in the faintest whisper.
“Fifi...why didn’t you tell me?”
“I didn’t want to freak you out more. And I lied about the attic earlier. The place is neat as a pin. I
just didn’t wanna go up there.”
“Understood,” she says, nodding grimly. “But...how can this be?”
“It’s simple. I woke up from a bad dream and threw my lamp before I could come to full
consciousness.”</span></span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzL2rev_zNLcpQETdag4SvSm0We2Dmgx7NWfF8cbnX7sA8uGxMBKNMyssg5vK1lzay9SJ6JNcFlmAs_wvJpwh73Z-YMxp_vrYnW5tHlVBI3Rh28GsPc9bULl8upBs7BvKyiBQwI6P91Qg1CIdQQ2kJjFQyHWc0qA0h34ByQ5ykNwguKI7Ayz9eDQgbGdbR/s300/Rozy.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzL2rev_zNLcpQETdag4SvSm0We2Dmgx7NWfF8cbnX7sA8uGxMBKNMyssg5vK1lzay9SJ6JNcFlmAs_wvJpwh73Z-YMxp_vrYnW5tHlVBI3Rh28GsPc9bULl8upBs7BvKyiBQwI6P91Qg1CIdQQ2kJjFQyHWc0qA0h34ByQ5ykNwguKI7Ayz9eDQgbGdbR/w200-h200/Rozy.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />AUTHOR BIO:</span></div><div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Raised in the South and transplanted to a midwestern New Age community, Roxy Blue writes about the types of down-to-earth characters that dispel the notion of romance being rubbish.

author Denny S. Bryce and USA Today bestselling author Eliza Knight collaborate
on a brilliant novel that uncovers the boundary-breaking, genuine friendship
between Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen of Jazz, and iconic movie star Marilyn
Monroe. One woman was recognized as the premiere singer of her era with
perfect pitch and tireless ambition. One woman was the most glamorous star in
Hollywood, a sex symbol who took the world by storm. And their friendship was
fast and firm… 1952: Ella Fitzgerald is a renowned jazz singer whose only
roadblock to longevity is society’s attitude toward women and race. Marilyn
Monroe’s star is rising despite ongoing battles with movie studio bigwigs and
boyfriends. When she needs help with her singing, she wants only the best—and
the best is the brilliant Ella Fitzgerald. But Ella isn’t a singing teacher and
declines—then the two women meet, and to everyone’s surprise but their own,
they become fast friends. On the surface, what could they have in common? Yet
each was underestimated by the men in their lives—husbands, managers,
hangers-on. And both were determined to gain. Each fought for professional
independence and personal agency in a time when women were expected to
surrender control to those same men. This novel reveals and celebrates their
surprising bond over a decade and serves as a poignant reminder of how true
friendship can cross differences to bolster and sustain us through haunting
heartbreak and wild success.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;">My
Thoughts:</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: medium;">Two of the biggest
stars of the past share their friendship in the book Can’t We Be Friends. Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald have more
in common then just being stars. I
enjoyed hearing about their pasts while watching them become each other’s
sounding boards as Hollywood’s pressures come knocking on their doors. They
turn to each other in good times and bad times. It was interesting to see how different their
experiences are while both growing up wanting to never be hungry again. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Imagine working alongside Frank Sinatra, being married to
Joe DiMaggio, performing at all the iconic halls…I could picture it all as
I read the book. I could see the crowds cheering as they
performed, the paparazzi with their cameras at every turn forcing Marilyn and
Ella to be “on” every time they stepped out of their own houses. The
lives they lived were charmed but had many very rough times and these ladies
were lucky to have each other. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">I love historical fiction but a historical fiction book
about characters that I did not know enough about is wonderful. I walked away with so much more knowledge and
compassion for the life of a star. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br />
From the New York Times bestselling author of In Five Years and One Italian
Summer comes the romance that will define a generation.<br />
<br />
Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a
new man , she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the
exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she’d spend
three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and
three months with Hugo, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. Daphne has been
receiving the numbered papers for over twenty years, always wondering when
there might be one without an expiration. Finally, the night of a blind date at
her favorite Los Angeles restaurant, there’s only a Jake.<br />
<br />
But as Jake and Daphne’s story unfolds, Daphne finds herself doubting the
paper’s prediction, and wrestling with what it means to be both committed and truthful.
Because Daphne knows things Jake doesn’t, information that—if he found
out—would break his heart.<br />
<br />
Told with her signature warmth and insight into matters of the heart, Rebecca
Serle has finally set her sights on romantic love. The result is a gripping,
emotional, passionate, and (yes) heartbreaking novel about what it means to be
single, what it means to find love, and ultimately how we define each of them
for ourselves. Expiration Dates is the one fans have been waiting for.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Rebecca Serle is a wonderful author.
I have read her other books and am so excited about Expiration
Dates. The idea of dating and knowing
how long you have with the person is unique and fun. It is
also a lot of pressure, to know that your time together is limited would make
it difficult to open your heart. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: large;">Daphne is a great character with her quirks and
secrets. I was entertained reading
about her dating life but also sad that each man she met had an end date. I was hoping that Jake, with no expiration
date, would be the one. Of course, it
cannot be that easy and I was excited to see what twists would be thrown at
me. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #1e1915; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: large;">Rebecca Serle is an author I am excited to read more
from. Her books are easy to read, the
story moves at a good pace, and the characters are fun.</span></p>

When he convinces his best friend to get a new apartment with him, the last thing he expects is for the leasing office to mess up their arrangement, giving them a four-bedroom instead of a two-bedroom.

sexy, flirty, and fun. This book is all
about college romance. They became
roommates, not by choice, and tried not to like each other but close proximity
and attraction pulled them together. Trinity
Lemm really embraced the college feel.
There were late night study sessions, papers to write, library time, and
classes to attend. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">I love that Lane and
Crew are athletes, so they had to work in workouts, coach’s meetings, and
practice. All of this is true to the
college life. Of course, there were
parties and bars, so life was very busy for all the main characters. The book was not all about college, there
were family dynamics to work in and futures to decide. I liked the fact that all the families were
not perfect. They were real and hard
their faults. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">The relationships were fun and the story moved
quickly ( I read the book in 1 day). I was pulled into the story and even
cheering for Lane and Crews hockey team.
The Puck Arrangement is a great sports romance book with family drama
and great friendships. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.3800000000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">Download today or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited!</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-c12abfff-7fff-d946-540c-5ed1de6f68b9"><span style="font-family: Lora;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“I would love to watch Spirited with you again, but not tonight. I’ve other plans for the night if you’re game.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">And there goes my thoughts again…..and no, this time I’m not reining them in. The more I resist, the stronger they get. The allure of the forbidden. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“But since I’m so sure that you’ll refuse to do it, let’s play the betting game again. If I win, you do whatever I ask you to and if I lose…I lose. Game over.” She shrugs, ever so casually.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Wait. What? That’s not fair. If you lose, you get to listen to me too. You’ll do what I ask you to. Now that’s fair.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">She shakes her head, making a disapproving face. “See, that’s the catch. I don’t have to win a bet to listen to you. Anything you ask of me, I’ll do it, Noah. No questions asked. I don’t have it in me to refuse you. In fact, acting on your words and following your footsteps gives me so much joy.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Don’t I know it? But the billion dollar question that I hadn’t bothered asking up until now is - why? Why do I mean so much to her? How is it that we grew so close? And why does making her smile and seeing her happy take priority over anything else in my life?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Is not searching and probing for answers the safer option? If I had truly been in oblivion up until now, I was at least protected and in bliss. Now? It’s too late for that. Too late to go back. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“Anyway, let’s get this started. I’ll keep it fairly simple this time. If you answer my question correctly, you give me a dare and I’ll do it..and if you get it wrong.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">“I’ll do whatever it is that you ask of me. Challenge accepted.” I smile coyly, curious about what she has in mind. </span><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">At this point all bets are off. There is no saying what can happen, where our thoughts are headed and how to do damage control. I’m scared about how this night can turn out, frightened by what tomorrow will bring us, but bigger than the fear is the thrill. Giving into whatever it is that's brewing between is an appealing idea, potent with so many possibilities I didn’t even know I had the urge to explore. The allure of the taboo is irresistible, and it shocks me to my core thar it’s having such a profound effect on me. Nothing is making any sense anymore. </span></p></span></span></div>

She is an avid reader and also a writer. She writes Adult and New Adult romance, and also wishes to try her hands at dark and psychological thrillers. She especially loves reading and writing love triangles, taboo romance, and angst filled stories that are quite complex and unconventional. Her books tend to involve protagonists who are flawed, far from perfect, and as real as they can get. Her all-time favorite characters are her very own characters- Jennifer, Brandon and Linden. She tends to fall hard for boys who are either cocky, bossy, good flirts and total charmers.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">She spends most of her free time reading, writing, watching anime or binging shows. Her favorite genres are Psychological Thrillers, Teen Drama and Sci-fi (especially time travel stories).
