Don't Buy My First Book, THE OWNER OF HIS HEART!!!
I mean, why buy it, when you can download it for free, until March 8th? Go HERE to get your free copy.
Just promise me one thing: If you love it, you'll either buy the next book in my 50 Loving States Series, HER RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRE, which is now available at Amazon … OR you'll leave a review for OWNER on Amazon.
Either way, I'm very grateful for your support and really excited for you to read HER RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRE. Here's the description:
Another Smoking Hot Interracial Romance from the 50...

UNDER A CRESCENT MOON by Violette Dubrinsky
Description: When Azaleigh Montclaire inherits her eccentric aunt's estate, she discovers that she's inherited more than a house. There's also a book of spells, a job as the town's guardian witch (its only line of defense against vampires), and — oh yeah, a shockingly handsome protector name Victor St. Croix.
The Good: This is a doozy of a tale, with a twist so unexpected and huge I gasped out loud. The story was thoroughly compelling and even somewhat funny. Also, both the sex and hero were w...

So Disappointed in Romance Writers Ink *and* Romance Writers of America
I wanted to add my voice to the many writers and bloggers who are raging against the decision made by Romance Writers Ink, an Oklahoma chapter of Romance Writers of America, to ban novels featuring same-sex protagonists from their writing contest.
This official declaration is gross at every level. And I'm appalled that the national org isn't stepping in. They say that they can't police local contests, but you know if this chapter had decided to ban black novels or interracial novels from...

WE ALL SCREAM by Nona Wesley
Description: The economy has been rough on Diahann Marshall's family-owned ice cream shop and her love life has gone even colder than the product she sells. Can local business owner Sun Li, who she thinks is a Chinese food delivery guy, be the perfect solve for both?
The Good: Compelling premise. I'm a big fan of mistaken identity plots and kept on reading just to see how it would all turn out.
The Bad: The H/H relationship is so under-developed that the great set-up is effectively ruined...

THE QUESTION by Zena Wynn
Description: When Crystal asks her widowed best friend, Gail to be a surrogate for her and her husband, Rashid, using one of Gail's eggs, Gail reluctantly agrees. But when Gail starts dating a handsome divorce lawyer named Greg after her successful insemination, what starts off as a favor soon turns into a complicated love story filled with passion and drama.
The Good: Oh, I am mad as Ms. Wynn. I had important things to do the weekend I read this book, but I couldn't it put it down. This...

A PIECE OF ME by Yvette Hines
Description: When Neal Stephens gets in horrific accident, his widowed assistant, Amana, literally saves his life by giving him one of her kidneys. So when she tells him that what she wants most is a baby, he gives her the one-night stand of a lifetime. But will one night be enough for either of them?
The Good: I used to love secretary/boss romances back in the day, so I was really happy to read one with an IR twist. I love that Amana is really tall — you don't see that often. Also, the two...

The Cover of My Next Novel and What I Like to Read vs. What I Like to Write
Greetings!
So we think this is going to be the cover of my next novel, which is tentatively titled HER RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRE, and will definitely be hitting Amazon in March. Don't drop dead of shock, but the hero is a really intense alpha male.
I'm a huge fan of writing intense alpha males and favor complicated plots with heightened situations populated by people with really strong personalities.
But you know what, I just love reading a good novel about regular folks. If your novel has two...

THREE BULLETS by Tasha D-Drake
Description: Bae, a young half-Korean Englishman, needs to make a little money to escape his small town, so he takes a job person sitting Steve, the temporarily blind brother of Jim Jones. Neither brother is quite what he seems, and Bae's boring job takes a turn for the steamy.
The Good: I really liked Bae, and Steve was a hoot. The sex was very hot. It's a very compelling and quick read.
The Bad: Though I found this novel through a search for interracial gay romance, it's not quite that...

NEEDING NITA by Norah Wilson
Description: Attorney, Nita Reynolds, doesn't date cops, but when she receives a fatal diagnosis, she decides to take Det. Craig Walker up on one of his many advances. If she's going out, she's going to do a lot living first with Detective Walker in her bed.
The Good: NEEDING NITA is funny and sweet and at the time of this writing totally free! This is, so far, the first free book, I've been able to heartily recommend. Loved, loved, loved the situation.
The Bad: I kept on trying to figure out i...
