Spotlight on Anne McCarthy Strauss' new novel, "The Passion Thief"

Anne McCarthy Strauss' new novel, The Passion Thief, was recently published by Booktrope! The Passion Thief is women's fiction with a romantic side. It's a perfect read for anyone who's lost the passion in a relationship and wondered about the road not taken.

The Passion Thief Blurb
The tumble between the sheets can get a little stale and infrequent in some marriages. At least that’s what Betty Boomer tells herself at night, while Stan, her husband of two decades, snores upright on the couch. Emboldened by too much Chardonnay, she searches the Internet for her college boyfriend Michael, the proverbial one who got away. Memories of their youthful passion reignite a lust Betty thought had dried up long ago.

Michael responds to Betty’s cyber message, and temptation calls this globe-trotting freelance journalist. While Stan’s idea of excitement is staying up past ten o’clock on a Saturday night, Michael has evolved into a flashy Las Vegas casino manager with three ex-wives. Which man offers stimulation and which one brings monotony coupled with reliability is vividly clear.

Written with the yearning and struggle many women feel, Betty Boomer is not alone when she asks, “Is this all I need or should I take another shot at passion?” Author Anne McCarthy Strauss brings us her latest women’s fiction coupled with a large dose of romantic comedy and a dozen long-stemmed roses.

My Review on "The Passion Thief" by Anne McCarthy Strauss

5.0 out of 5 stars  A wonderful book with an extraordinary ending!  December 24, 2014By AngelFormat:Kindle EditionThere are millions of women who would love to be married to Stan Boomer, a solid, kind executive with wealth and financial security. Unfortunately, after 23 years of marriage, it’s Stan’s wife Betty who is questioning the marriage. Although she is a globe-trotting journalist, she is bored. International assignments, the finest food and wine, and even a fling with her college boyfriend don’t give this woman what she’s seeking.

In truth, I found Betty so self-centered and me-oriented, I would have put the book down if it weren’t for the great story telling. I’m glad I stayed around. As the book delves into the demons that drive Betty to do what she does, a whole new character emerges. The choice she makes to change her ways is surprising and encouraging.

Stay with The Passion Thief. It won’t disappoint, and you may learn more than you expected.

Investigative reporter Jackie Alexander uses her wits and experience to tackle a family mystery in Spellbound in His Arms by Angel Sefer. Someone is killing all of the heirs to the Demiris properties and fortune in idyllic Corfu, Greece. It's up to Jackie to prevent her cousin from being the next victim. Jackie quickly finds herself transfixed by the prowess and secrets of Michael, a private detective from Athens, who is working on the same case for different reasons. Jackie and Michael can’t afford to let attraction get in the way of their quest to uncover who is behind the Demiris murders, but both struggle with this battle while facing treachery from unknown parties. Can they prevent themselves from becoming the next victims of a ruthless killer? Can they fight the unexplained passions that arise amidst so much danger and uncertainty in a paradise where no one can be trusted?

Spellbound In His Arms is a fast-paced and action-packed page turner. Angel Sefer takes you into the serene beauty of the Ionian Sea, a quick Mediterranean vacation from the office grind.

My review on the amazing paranormal romance "Impact Zone" by very talented Dakota Skye

5.0 out of 5 stars A hot paranormal romance to accelerate your heartbeat and set your kindle on fire!, November 27, 2014By Angel - See all my reviewsVerified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: Impact Zone (Kindle Edition)Intrigued by the blurb, I just had to buy this novel and wow! Once I got started, I couldn’t put my kindle down. This book is amazing, filled with adventure, mystery, treachery, and hot romance. Nico Triton—DemiGod, merman, son of Poseidon—has the looks of a Greek God, the immense power of his father, and the moves of an ideal lover. Josie Wells is a stunning champion surfer who loves to conquer the waves and grab life by the horns. When the two of them get together, sparks fly high as danger is hovering over Triton and his “people”— mermen and mermaids.

The beautiful spotlight that my wonderful author and blogger friend Olga Nunez Miret posted for me and The Greek Isles Series

Hi all:
As you know, I usually bring you guest authors and/or new books on Friday. I have a bit of a backlog now but as I’m thinking about doing a bit of an experiment with my blog, hopefully it will get sorted.
Today I bring you back Angel Sefer. I knew she’d published a new book recently but when I was checking I realised that I hadn’t brought you the second book in her Greek Isles series yet. And therefore, I bring you two (and as she’s published the three as a boxset, of course I had to bring you that one too). And I also have a surprise...

My Review on "The Jewel Box" - the amazing romance novel by the very talented Michelle McCarty

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun road trip back in time!, November 21, 2014By Angel - See all my reviewsVerified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: The Jewel Box (Kindle Edition)The Jewel Box offers Southern charm in a thirty year tapestry focusing on Jill-Cherie, who slowly matures over each decade. In flashback method, Ms. McCarty uses music and current events of each era to take readers on a trip from the 60s through Y2K. Characters are well developed - even those with minimal parts, however my favorite was intelligent and charismatic, Beau. Our female lead protagonist stumbles in and out of countless relationships and other calamities, yet Beau is always there trying to guide her. As his sage advice slowly sinks into Cherie’s thick skull, we get to watch her blossom into womanhood. Let’s face it, some women aren’t born strong, but it’s great to see one rise above personal weaknesses. The Jewel Box is told from an intimate point of view, and its characters are varied and memorable enough to stick with you long after the final page.
