Weekend Book Club--Island of Glass by Nora Roberts

I just finished reading ISLAND OF GLASS, the final book in the Guardian Trilogy by Nora Roberts. I loved the entire series. If you're a fan of paranormal romance, be sure to check it out.

(The first two books are Stars of Fortune and Bay of Sighs.)

BLURB:

As the hunt for the Star of Ice leads the six guardians to Ireland, Doyle, the immortal, must face his tragic past. Three centuries ago, he closed off his heart, yet his warrior spirit is still drawn to the wild. And there’s no one more familiar with the wild than Riley—and the wolf within her...

An archaeologist, Riley is no stranger to the coast of Clare, but now she finds herself on unsure footing, targeted by the dark goddess who wants more than the stars, more than the blood of the guardians. While searching through Irish history for clues that will lead them to the final star and the mysterious Island of Glass, Riley must fight her practical nature and admit her sudden attraction to Doyle is more than just a fling. For it is his strength that will sustain her and give her the power to run towards love—and save them all...

She’s ready to run, but so tempted to stay…
Salvation Pack, Book 8
Detective Reece Gallagher is a long way from Salvation, North Carolina. He’s spent a decade in Chicago searching for her—the elusive red-haired woman who haunts his dreams. He knows nothing about her, only that she’s in trouble. After ten fruitless years, he’s ready to give up and go home.
Hannah Burdette is burdened with a secret that won’t allow her to get close to anyone. She’s a half-breed werewolf, targeted by a stalker who wants those of impure blood eliminated.
There’s something different about the arson/murder case Reece and his partner are working on. His heightened senses tell him there’s a werewolf involved. Even more shocking, it’s related to an assault case involving a beautiful redhead in trouble. A scared, wounded woman his wolf wants to protect as his own.
But first Reece must convince her she doesn’t have to be alone anymore. And he’s going to have to talk fast, because the killer has upped the ante—and now they’re both in danger.
Product Warnings
You may lose your heart and soul to one smoking-hot, protective, determined wolf. Read at your own risk.

Throwback Thursday--N.J. Walters

This Throwback Thursday I wanted to feature the first book I ever wrote. It wasn't the first one I published, but it was the book that started me on my writing journey. My style of writing has changed and evolved over the years, but Discovering Dani will always hold a place in my heart.

I love the entire Jamesville series, the small town and the people who live there. The later books are spicier, as my style developed and grew. You can read any of them as stand alone books, but you'll know all the characters if you start at the beginning.





JAMESVILLE SERIES:
Discovering Dani
The Way Home
The Return of Patrick O'Rourke

BLURB: Discovering Dani

Amazon: http://amzn.com/B000R93D6M
Burke Black wanted something he could live with, but ended up finding someone he could live for.

Book 1 of Jamesville

Dani O’Rourke has had the responsibility of raising her two brothers, Patrick and Shamus, since the death of their parents. As sole owner and operator of O’Rourke Cleaning Services, she is no stranger too hard work, but she is a beginner when it comes to men.

Burke is a very rich and successful businessman whose brush with death has made him question his priorities. He’s traveled to Jamesville for peace and quiet while he plans the rest of his life.
Their lives collide when Burke accuses her of breaking into his cabin to steal from him. Their attraction to each other is immediate, and after a series of misunderstandings he finds himself caught up in the lives of Dani and her brothers.

But can this gentle, giving woman get a man as hard and cynical as Burke to believe in the power of love? Or will Burke leave town without ever discovering the wonders of life with Dani?

Wolf on a Mission--Must-Read from 2016 on HEA

Becky Condit at USA TODAY HAPPILY EVER AFTER has released her list of Must-read Romances from 2016. I'm absolutely thrilled that Wolf on a Mission is on her list!

SEE ENTIRE LIST

When love runs wild, there are no limits.

Salvation Pack, Book 6

Full-blooded werewolf Elias Gallagher, sole guardian of his half-breed teenage nephews, is all too aware that the world is not a safe place for a werewolf on his own. Doubly so for half-breeds.

He brings his nephews to North Carolina to check out the Salvation Pack’s openness to half-breeds. He never expected to find a mate—the fully human mother of a young boy—while there.

After enduring one tragedy after another over the past two years, Sue Walsh is focused solely on earning a living and raising her five-year-old son. With her ex suddenly demanding custody, the last complication she wants or needs is an attraction to a ruggedly handsome stranger.

But the sexual pull between them is too strong to be denied. And when there’s trouble with the local hunters, Elias will do whatever it takes to protect the people he loves. Even if it means revealing his biggest secret.
