LUCKY SHOT by B.J. Daniels blog tour & giveaway




LUCKY SHOT
By B.J. Daniels
 
 
When hotshot reporter Max Malone gets a rare shot of Buckmaster Hamilton with a blond woman near Beartooth, Montana, he chases down one of the senator’s daughters to verify that the woman is Hamilton’s supposedly long-dead first wife. But Kat Hamilton won’t give him the time of day, let alone any information about her mother.
 
Kat can just tell that Max isn’t used to female sources denying him anything with his tousled blond hair, sexy stubble and an old straw cowboy hat topping off his long, lean frame. But when her own life is put in jeopardy, it’s Max who comes to her rescue. Seems someone is prepared to kill to keep the past in the past. Kat can’t deny she needs Max to find out what happened to her mother, but will getting closer and closer to each other lead them to the truth or to danger?



My thoughts:

This is the 3rd book in this series.  This one is about Kat, and her budding relationship with one of the many reporters who has camped outside the family’s ranch.  The more you read about Max the more you can see why Kat adores him.  With all the suspense and mystery along with the great characters you will not want to miss this book.  I enjoyed it from beginning to and and you will too.

Synopsis

Time has not been kind to sleepy Dorset Falls, Connecticut, where an erstwhile resident is hoping to bring a tattered yarn shop back to life—but with a murderer on the loose, the whole town is in knots…


Josie Blair left Dorset Falls twelve years ago in hopes of making it big in New York City. But after earning an overpriced master’s degree and getting fired by a temperamental designer, she finds herself heading back to her hometown. Her great-uncle was injured in a car accident, and newly unemployed Josie is the only person available to take care of him. Uncle Eb’s wife didn’t survive the crash, so Josie is also tasked with selling the contents of her Aunt Cora’s yarn shop. But the needling ladies of the Charity Knitters Association pose a far bigger challenge than a shop full of scattered skeins…


Miss Marple Knits is one of the few businesses still open in the dreary downtown. Josie can’t imagine how it stayed open for so long, yet something about the cozy, resilient little shop appeals to her. But when one of the town’s most persnickety knitters turns up dead in a pile of cashmere yarn, Josie realizes there’s something truly twisted lurking beneath the town’s decaying façade…


INCLUDES ORIGINAL KNITTING PATTERNS!


 


My thoughts:


This is the first in a new series, The Tangled Web series, a great start.  Josie is talked into going to take care of her Uncle after his wife dies along with Aunt Cora’s yarn shop.  A lot of other ladies are dying to get the shop. Josie finds a body on a pile of cashmere in the back of the shop, things really get interesting. She uncovers a lot of secrets going around the town.  A great little town you will fall in love with and some interesting characters.  I am looking forward to the next book.

Sadie Hartwell grew up near the Canadian border in northern New York State, where it’s cold, dark, and snowy almost half the year—a perfect environment for nurturing a simultaneous love of mystery fiction and needlework.

“I

was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but worked their

way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever

known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work, and

education.
Taking

after my mother, I’ve always love to cook, and became pretty good if I do say

so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through

many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love

the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations.
For

now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children who

both graduated this year from college. My daughter does my book covers, and my

son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books.
Currently

I am writing five series of books- The Last Riders, The VIP Room, Predators MC,

Biker Bitches, and The Dark Souls.
All

my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and

the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best.”

The Homespun Holiday by Sarah O’Rourke release day blitz

Homespun Release Day Banner


Homespun cover 4


Dr. Mackenzie Daniels was a loner. He had the divorce, a far-away family, and well-known cranky persona to prove it. And if he had his way, he would continue on his loner way, in spite of the attempts of the townspeople to infiltrate his life with their irritating, so-called charming ways. That was…until he met the beautiful Nurse Millicent Robbins.


Millie Robbins had done the love and marriage thing, and all she could say was that she got a beautiful daughter out of the entire debacle. Love was not in her long-term plans when she graduated from nursing school, thank you very much….until she found herself falling head over heels for the grouchiest but most gorgeous doctor she’d ever met.


Can Mack and Millie find their way to love in spite of their histories? Can happiness actually exist for two star-crossed lovers?


Join the entire town of Paradise for a Christmas celebration of lasting love!addtogoodreads_zps55cd15da16teaser


HH Teaser All I Want for Christmas is You


HH Teaser It Must Have Been the Mistletoe HH Teaser Rockin Around the Christmas Tree


excerpt

“Fine. What about a favor, huh? Friends do favors for each other all the time, don’t they?” Mack volleyed smoothly, studying her. “How about you do me this favor, Millicent? You won’t deny me that, will you? Especially since you’re the one that got me into this predicament.”


“No, I suppose not. I’d be happy to spend the holidays with you and your family.”


“Same here,” he admitted softly. “Now, how do you feel about you and Paisley helping me decorate my place tomorrow? It’s Saturday. We both have the day off unless one of my patients decides to go into labor, and since nobody is that close to delivery yet, I think we’re pretty clear there. My family expects to fly into Paradise and find my home a completely undecorated mess. I’d love to knock my sister down a peg or two and surprise her with a perfectly designed Winter Wonderland. Really, this is the least you could do,” he grumbled when Millie didn’t make a peep. “Let me remind you once more that this shit is all your fault.”


“Such a sweet talker.” Millie sighed dramatically and batted her eyelashes demurely. “You sure know how to charm a girl.”


“My ex-wife used to say the same thing,” he reminisced.


You were married? For real? To a woman?” Millie gaped in stunned disbelief, unable to imagine this male as a part of a couple. Sure, she’d had her fantasies about her sexy boss. Of course she had! He was hot. Lean and muscular in all the right places. And she’d bet her right pinky toe that he was hung like a horse. But that’s where the fantasy ended. Because in addition to all she fantasized about, Mackenzie Daniels was also surly, stubborn and an all-around Gloomy Gus on most all the days that ended in Y.


“For your sake, lady, I’m going to choose not to be offended here,” Mack returned mockingly as he fought a grin. “You don’t need to look quite so astonished; I’m not exactly an ogre, Mills.”


Staring up at him, Millie took stock of the Doc’s high, chiseled cheekbones, his dimpled chin, his square jaw and his perfectly sculpted, extremely kissable lips and she had to agree. “No, definitely not an ogre,” she whispered, as her tongue darted out to lick her suddenly dry lips. “What I meant to say is that I just never imagined anyone that valued his solitude and privacy as much as you do married to anyone.”


“I do enjoy my solitude and privacy, but I’m also a guy, Millie. I do like to fuck.”


Millie nearly choked on her tongue. “Women, right?”


“Yes, women! Did you assume I was asexual? Or did you think I was gay? Do I strike you as a latent homosexual, Millie?” he asked as his steady gaze connected with her nervous one.


“N-no, but if you did swing that way, you should know that Paradise has this lovely florist that’s been looking for love in all the wrong places,” she managed to impart through her mostly frozen lips.


“He’ll have to keep lookin’ then because I’m straight as an arrow, woman,” Mack growled, his eyes skating hungrily over her pretty face.


“Doc, why are you tellin’ me this stuff?” Millie asked, trying desperately to understand where and when this new and open Mackenzie had emerged. Would she find the ‘Old Mackenzie’ collapsed at his desk in the office? Was she hallucinating? What exactly had been in her sandwich from the diner?


“That’s what friends do, right? Share and shit like that?” he asked with a careless shrug.


“I reckon,” Millie mumbled. “But maybe we should think about getting back to the office. It’s almost two and you’ve got a 2:30 with Sandy Bingham.” Honestly, she was more than a little nervous standing here with him because suddenly Mack was eyeing her like she was a steak and he was a very hungry animal. And crazily enough, she found herself not minding in the least the idea of being his meal.


Ignoring her reminder of his afternoon appointment, he kept staring at her. “So, is that a yes to spending tomorrow with me?”


“I… uh…. I guess, if that’s really what you want,” she agreed, her cheeks blushing as she tried to make herself stop fidgeting like a teenage girl being asked on her first date.


“What about tonight? Are you busy tonight?” he asked.


“I don’t think so. Why?”


“Because, you haven’t seen my place. I want to show it to you so that you can get an idea of what we’ll need. I’ll even feed you if you’ll agree to help me out,” he offered calmly.


“I…you’re sure about this?” she asked, not quite able to believe that this man was volunteering to spend time with her. Or hell, with anybody really. Mack was a loner. Everyone, including her, knew it. He’d already knocked her off her axis with the news that he’d once had a wife. Now, he was acting like — dare she even imagine it – like he was actually interested in her?


“I’m positive. And maybe tonight could be an adults-only evening since tomorrow will be kid-friendly,” he suggested smoothly.


“Uhmmm – okay,” she agreed slowly, nodding. “I’m sure my mom and dad won’t mind watching Paisley for a few hours.”


“Good,” Mack declared with a satisfied nod as he reached around Millie to open the vehicle’s door for her. “Then I’ll pick you up at your place around six. Is that enough time to get off work and get Paisley to your parents’ house?”


Millie nodded as she began to climb into the cab of the truck, her mind reeling as she tried to keep up with their conversation. Things were happening so quickly that she felt like she’d somehow fallen into an alternate universe – one where sexy-as-sin doctors wanted to spend time with her outside of work. “Yeah, that’ll be…great,” she acknowledged, her voice a little shaky. Offering him a dazed look, she shook her head.


“What?” he growled in that surly voice she knew so well.


“I don’t understand what’s happening here, Doc,” she said truthfully. “Have you just asked me out on a date?” she asked, her eyes twinkling with enthusiasm as her heart pounded in her chest.


Mack’s face flushed and he shrugged. “Why is it so important to women to label everything? We’re gonna share a meal tonight. If you wanna call it a date, I can’t stop you,” he declared before slamming the door on her reply.


“I’ll be damned,” Millie muttered to herself as she watched him slowly circle the SUV to reach the driver’s side. “It’s an honest-to-God Christmas miracle.”

Author Isabell Lawless interview and book blitz

Please help me welcome our guest author Isabell Lawless to the blog today.


41v0DJa0mBL._UX250_


Babs….When did you know you wanted to write?


I have always written: songs, poems, stories in school. The older I got the longer these texts became, and now as an adult I have already written more than 100 pop songs that have been recorded and distributed in Sweden as well as three novels. Fourth one is being written as we speak.


Babs…..What would you like your readers to get out of  Once Upon A Killing?


When I started writing Once Upon A Killing I wasn’t sure where the story would lead me. The main plot was set, but only with four sentences (that’s usually how I work), then I let my imagination run free. I hope the reader will find the book suspenseful and in some parts steamy. I have a hard time writing, and reading, a book without a few sexy scenes and that’s what I am trying to deliver.


Babs…..Do you have a current project in the works?


I am currently working on my fourth book, which also happens to be the third book in a series called, The Gass County Series. Each book (four in total) features a main character, a man in a group of four friends, from a same small town in the Midwest. Or as one of the character’s put it – “In the middle of fucking nowhere, the dustbowl of America.”


The town might be miniscule on a map, but triumphs in suspenseful activities and kinky sex behind closed doors. The best of two worlds.


Babs…..Do you have a ritual when you are writing? ie coffee, music, food etc


I tend two write when my household is asleep. I listen to classical music and enjoy a cup of warm coffee or a glass of wine, depending on my mood. Interestingly, the choice of beverage influences my writing.


Babs…..Hobbies outside of writing?


Outside of writing I enjoy sewing and running with a mom’s group in the mornings. The library is a good friend of ours as well as other kids activities. Even though I write books, being a parent comes first, always.


Babs….What book or books are you currently reading?


I am completely in love with Candis Terry’s Sweet series and have bought all books and keep reading them over and over. Another favorite is the Outlander series, big chunk of books but absolutely divine.


Babs….If you could be one character from one of your books who would it be?


Burned Gasoline features a woman whom I secretly wish I was. Only because I’m really happy with how the male character turned out, and I want him.


Babs…Favorite drink?


Coffee, coke, wine. In any order.


Babs…..What is your favorite ice cream?


So, here is the truth. I’m not a fan of ice-cream (!)


Babs….What is your favorite food?


Anything with fries goes well with me.


Babs…Anything else you would like to add?


I would be honored if you’d like to stalk me on any of my social media sites where I share not only my writing, but book teasers, and have a love for giving things away.

51tV9zgczIL._UY250_Single mom Raylyn and her baby Nova leaves a luxury life in New York after a devastating cheating scandal that left her with nothing. Using the secret stash of her mother’s inheritance she purchases her dream farm in a small town in the Midwest. Away from media, backstabbing friends, and her cocky ex.


Jefferson, a native to the area is a plain stunning example of the hardworking male. His divorce left him heartbroken, not only because his wife left, but for the reason she did it. He’s in no way ready for a hot, dirty romance. But after meeting sassy Raylyn from New York, he has a hard time leaving those steamy thoughts alone.


A neighboring farm outside of town secretly shelters mentally ill Sarah, desperate for a baby, in the belief she will become less of a social outcast raising a child and finding a man to share that dream with. When Sarah hears the news of a single mom moving into a farm not too far from hers, she believes it to be an omen she’s destined to follow. That baby must be hers.



51oDoqJlB8L._UY250_


Not wasting a second, the moving truck with its crew packed up all her belongings, and she finally hit the road away from hell, once and for all.


At least that was her plan.


Years later; in a new town, with a new job, and a wonderful hot contractor as a husband, an email shakes up the happy life she has manage to rebuild for herself. A life far away from denigrating accusations, cruel demands, and sexual domination.


Now her ex Brian has found her, and won’t accept anything less than for her to come back home.


She needs to come back to him. Come home.


She belongs to him. And him only.


An anonymous package arrives at their door on a Friday afternoon and the sense of being continuously watched interrupts Danielle and Andy’s everyday life.


The happily married couple begin to realize who is behind it all, even though seven whole years have gone since that moving truck sped down the gravel road and far, far away. Leaving all trace of Danielle’s existence in Brian’s life.


The night of the restaurant opening downtown will forever be etched in their memory.


That was the night they came across Brian inside their dining room. Just waiting for the right time to reappear in Danielle’s life.


The night when he unleashed his pent up rage and sexual dominance upon her once again.


That was the night he took her naked on the table nominating Andy to watch their sexual encounter. All of it. Proving every single inch of her body still belonged to him.


There are consequences to aggravating him, and since Danielle is not responding to his demands, he will come back for more.


With Brian’s unstable personality still on the lose the questions remain:


Are they going to stay at their newly renovated house in the south now that he has found her and fight him on their grounds when he returns, or try to outrun this predator once more leaving a tight-knit family and everything they have built together behind?


The waiting game has started.


When will he be back?


What does he plan to do this time?


Somehow this nightmare must end, even if it means that someone will get hurt again.


Seriously hurt.


The questions is just, who is it going to be this time?


Beast of Venery is a semi-autobiographical romantic thriller that follows Danielle fleeing an abusive and domineering ex-boyfriend. With the help and support from her new husband and surrounding family she fights his attempts to contact her and touch her in any way possible to get her back into her life.


 


51vLD3DI6wL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_“You don’t have to do this, Mary. Really, I’m not in contact with him anymore. I promise. Please, don’t do this. Please.” Sheer pleading spread in her voice.


“People don’t have to do certain things, but some take pure pleasure and delight in performing them. And this is my type of act. I’m certainly in favor of this type of deed.”


Wayne Matthews, pure hot muscles, wrapped in gorgeous male looks has been swooning the world of women ever since he came out of the womb. It’s quite simple: when women see him, they fall at his feet.


He knows his reputation and he thrives off of it. If the word man-whore was in the dictionary, Wayne’s photo would be plastered next to it.


Christine is strong headed, doesn’t accept nonsense, and must be the first woman in history to reject Wayne. No one has ever beaten down his ego before in his entire thirty-seven year old life.


Wayne finds her annoying, quite scary, and frankly… extremely attractive. But getting to know her will be the wildest ride he’s ever been on, and welcomes him into a world of sensuality he didn’t know existed.


Late one rainy evening the door bell chimes and a soaked teenager is looking for her father. A father going by the name Wayne. Although the girl’s life story seems to fit well into Wayne’s past, something seems off, and he has to figure out what it is before it’s too late.

AGATHA NOMINATED SERIES

It’s been a slow news month in Richmond, and crime reporter Nichelle Clarke is enjoying the downtime when ominous messages and a dead body kick things into high gear. And that’s before the guy with the rifle takes a hospital full of people hostage.


Up to the top of her knee-high Prada boots in leads, Nichelle finds her favorite detectives under pressure to make an arrest, but it doesn’t add up—and ignoring the “why” of this story could cost Nichelle the most important person in her life.


With too much to lose, a shot at the story of a lifetime, and a missing bullet that might be the key, landing this headline could save the day, but can Nichelle dig up the truth before the killer buries her with it?


Related subjects include: cozy mysteries, women sleuths, murder mystery series, whodunit mysteries (whodunnit), book club recommendations.
