HEA Book Reviews review of Uncovering Annabelle
HEA Book Reviews says, "As you would expect from a NJ Walters book, the erotic scenes were steamy and Mike was yummy. It’s a guilty pleasure to want the alpha male convince the insecure heroine of being more than she realizes, but so much fun to read. NJ Walters packed a lot of sexiness in just 12 chapters. It was a fun and quick read and highly recommended for a late night story."Read the entire review at HEA BOOK REVIEWS

This is the first book in the Summersville Secrets trilogy. The other two books will also be releasing soon. No dates yet, but I'll keep you posted.
BLURB:
The first book in the sexy Summersville Secrets series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author N. J. Walters!
Days fueled by desire . . .
Annabelle Lee is content to spend her days as a quiet and staid librarian, revealing her true desires only at night, when she indulges in the rich erotic life that lives only in her fantasies. It is there she dreams of Mike Sloan, the rugged handyman who stirs her passions and ignites her erotic nature.
Nights filled with pleasure . . .
Mike has always yearned to get a peek behind Annabelle’s demure nature, knowing there is far more there than she shows. When he finally gets her alone, they unleash a passion beyond any late-night fantasy. Limited only by their imaginations, they set out to explore even their deepest desires, with Mike hoping to win Annabelle’s heart in the process.

Weekend Book Club--Fighting Dirty by Lori Foster
FIGHTING DIRTY is the latest book in the Ultimate series by Lori Foster. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm a big fan of Foster's MMA books. I'm sure I'll enjoy Armie's book as much as I have the others in the series.
What are you reading this weekend?
BLURB:
With the life he's led and the muscles he's gained, Armie Jacobson isn't afraid of anything. Except maybe Merissa Colter's effect on him. It's not just that she's his best friend's little sister. Fact is, she deserves better. Women pursue him for one night of pleasure, and that's all he wants to offer. Until rescuing Merissa from a robbery leads to the most erotic encounter of his life.
Good girl meets bad boy. It's a story that rarely ends well. But Merissa is taking matters into her own hands. No matter how he views himself, the Armie she knows is brave, honorable and completely loyal. And as past demons and present-day danger collide, they're both about to learn what's truly worth fighting for…

Throwback Thursday--Book Edition (Dance Upon the Air by Nora Roberts)
DANCE UPON THE AIR is the first book in the Three Sisters Island trilogy by Nora Roberts. I absolutely love this series. It has everything--friendship, magic, a curse, and most importantly, love. Nell is a strong heroine determined to take control of her life and start over. To do that, she must face her past and trust in love.
BLURB:
When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sisters Island, she believes that she’s finally found refuge from her abusive husband—and from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago…
But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore café—and begins to explore her feelings for the island sheriff, Zack Todd. But there is a part of herself she can never reveal to him—for she must continue to guard her secrets if she wants to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence, and the new life she’s created so carefully could shatter completely.
Just as Nell starts to wonder if she’ll ever be able to break free of her fear, she realizes that the island suffers under a terrible curse—one that can only be broken by the descendants of the Three Sisters, the witches who settled the island back in 1692. And now, with the help of two other strong, gifted women—and with the nightmares of the past haunting her every step—she must find the power to save her home, her love…and herself…
