REVIEW: Flare Up by Shannon Stacey
[image error]Dear Shannon Stacey,
Flare Up is book six of your Boston Fire series, which is kind of two loosely linked trilogies, featuring firefighters from Ladder 37 and Engine 59 of the Boston Fire Department. Books 4 (Hot Response) and 5 (Under Control) made reference to Grant Cutter’s burgeoning relationship with Wren Everett. It was clear that Wren was hiding something from her past and it wasn’t just that I had read the blurb for this book that I understood that it involved a scary ex. At the end...
Tuesday Happy News
Recently I reviewed “When Death Becomes Life” in which a transplant surgeon talks about his job and the history of organ donation. Despite the title, transplants are also procured from living donors and here’s a wonderful story.
[image error]Single Dad Gets Kidney – Last year a total stranger offered a kidney after hearing about a plea from the daughter of the man’s girlfriend. The anonymous donor called, got tested, met with the family, and then proceeded with the surgery. The teen, Lilian Jarjour, had d...

Anything Once by Meka James $ 3.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Quinn has been happily married for ten years. Her relationship with Ian is built on love, trust, and honesty. At least that’s what she thought…until a four-letter word changed everything.
P.O.R.N.
After finding her husband alone in a rather awkward situation, Quinn starts to question her beliefs about their marriage.
While they’ve always had a healthy sex life, it was far from adventurous. She loves her husband, and he loves her, but t...
REVIEW: Minimum Wage Magic (DFZ#1) by Rachel Aaron
[image error]
The DFZ, the metropolis formerly known as Detroit, is the world’s most magical city with a population of nine million and zero public safety laws. That’s a lot of mages, cybernetically enhanced chrome heads, and mythical beasties who die, get into debt, and otherwise fail to pay their rent. When they can’t pay their bills, their stuff gets sold to the highest bidder to cover the tab.
That’s when they call me. My name is Opal Yong-ae, and I’m a Cleaner: a freelance mage with an art history de...

DAILY DEALS: Bakers and Bros
The Temple of My Familiar by Alice Walker $ 1.99
From the Jacket Copy:
The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Color Purple weaves a “glorious and iridescent” tapestry of interrelated lives in this New York Times bestseller (Library Journal).
In The Temple of My Familiar, Celie and Shug from The Color Purple subtly shadow the lives of dozens of characters, all dealing in some way with the legacy of the African experience in America. From recent African immigrants, to a woman who grew up in...
REVIEW: Game On by Kelly Jamieson
[image error][image error]Dear Ms. Jamieson:
This is the ninth book in the Aces Hockey series and the fourth that I’ve read. It starts with a premise that I don’t love. Cam Brickley sees Olivia Lockwood in a bar and ends up in a bet with his teammates: he’ll date her for two months and not fall in love. On the one hand, it’s not the worst “hero ends up pursuing heroine because of a bet” premise I’ve read. He’s just betting that he won’t fall in love, after all, not that he can get her into bed or something sleazy like...

DAILY DEALS: Coming home
He Who Is a Friend by Love Belvin $ 6.99
From the Jacket Copy:
Sadik Ellis blew into my rather insipid world at breakneck speed and with gripping force. He held all the features: striking feline eyes, golden russet skin, incredible sex appeal, wealth exuding like the enticing scent of cologne, and mind-blowing determination.
He was also trouble from the other side of the tracks, something I’d sensed. Sadik was an Ellis man with a solid education, his own thriving businesses, and self-obtained...
