Danger in Paradise 99 Cents at Amazon #kindle

[image error] I just found out some Friday goodness and wanted to share! Danger in Paradise has been marked down to 99 cents on Amazon. I don't know how long it will last or what brought on the price slash but it's a sweet deal! Check it out here.

Danger in Paradise blurb:

Twenty three years ago, security expert Luke Romanov's childhood playmate disappeared without a trace, leaving behind grieving parents and an identical twin sister. He's never stopped blaming himself. When he finds himself working side by side with a woman identical to his friend, he'll stop at nothing to discover her true identity, even if it means betraying her.

What few memories photographer Hope Jennings has of her past aren't pretty. The monsters from her nightmares make it impossible to completely erase her violent history, but she's living her life one day at a time. When a wealthy family hires her for a month down in the Caribbean, she expects to work hard, get the job done, and go home. While there, she finds unexpected passion in the arms of the sexy and dangerous Luke. Unfortunately for her heart, he presents a danger to the safe life she's built for herself. When someone targets her to die, she doesn't know who to trust.

Please note that Danger in Paradise was originally published under the title Finding Hope, but has been revised and lengthened, including the addition of an epilogue. Category length novel.

"Ms. Reus has penned characters that are well written and believable. Her plot and storyline has just the right amounts of romance, suspense, and sexual tension, blended together to give readers a bone chilling ride through the pages..." - Night Owl Reviews

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

His Secret Past #giveaway

Today I'm giving away a copy of His Secret Past, which is releasing in a couple weeks from Carina Press (1/2/12)! How to enter? Just leave a comment on my facebook wall answering my simple question (posted 12/22/11).

His Secret Past has received an early 4 star review from Janina at Synchronized Reading ... "Overall, this book was definitely a page turner, filled with action, and filled with romance. Three of my favorite things I look for in a book. I recommend this to people over the age of 18 that like these three things about a book!" To read the entire review, click here.

This week my mom is in town so I'm taking advantage of all her help! She's been helping out with the baby (snuggling him practically 24/7), cleaning and cooking and it's been the best Christmas present ever :) Still can't believe it's almost Christmas! If you celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. And if you celebrate Hanukkah or any other holiday I hope it's a safe, fun time filled with family.

Giveaway on Goodreads #AlphaInstinct #Giveaway

My publisher has graciously offered 20 copies of Alpha Instinct up for grabs on Goodreads. How to enter? It's simple! Just click here for full details! You must be a member of Goodreads to enter. Contest will be open until January 20, 2012.

His Secret Past available on #NetGalley

I still can't believe it's already December! This year has been a whirlwind of craziness! It's two and a half weeks until the new year which means His Secret Past will soon be available from Carina Press. I'm completely in love with this story for reasons I will soon be blogging about.

Right now it's available early on NetGalley for reviewers so if you're a reviewer and meet the criteria Carina requires, please request a copy here.

Here's the official blurb:

Six years ago, Alexis Baptiste's world was turned upside down when Hunter Cassidy disappeared without a trace, leaving her alone and pregnant. She's finally moving on with her life when he resurfaces, just in time to rescue her from a would-be assassin. Forced to join him on the run to protect herself and her young son, Alexis is now in even more danger: danger of falling for Hunter all over again.

Betrayed by rogue CIA agents after infiltrating an infamous drug cartel, former DEA agent Hunter Cassidy has spent years trying to clear his name. He's not proud of the things he's done, and knows he doesn't deserve a future with Alexis, or the son he never knew he had, but he's determined to protect them from the men who ruined his life. Convincing Alexis to trust him—and denying his feelings for her—is going to be the hardest mission he's ever faced.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far! I'm totally counting down the days until Christmas :)
