Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Jordan Winchester is starting to make waves in the world. He’s begun a promising career as a financial journalist and has a solid circle of friends and family.
The one thing missing is a girl – or Olivia Ellis to be precise. But he is no longer in contact with her and she doesn’t want anything to do with him. She’s gotten under his skin like a vicious Japanese knotweed, the large plant that destroys houses from the foundations up.
As he goes about trying to win her back, two crazy nights in March turn his life on its head – all because he wanted to eat some Battenberg cake. The innocuous almond and marzipan treat causes a cataclysmic ripple of chaos in his previously easy-going life.
Can he cope as baby bombshells explode? Or will he buckle under the pressure as his simple quarter-life becomes a full blown quarter-life crisis?

Jude says: "I don't like one-night-stands with strangers and I don't want to be dragged into some boring relationship in a three-bedroom flat full of IKEA furnishings and with missionary position sex once a week after the X-Factor"”
Be careful what you wish for, Jude ... you might find yourself on a super yacht with a nasty piece of hunk.

The first book in my new romantic suspense series is now available! The Devil's Playground is Book 1 of The Devil's Playthings. It's a whirlwind tour of San Francisco's underground, from the burlesque and drag circuit to the back rooms of Chinatown.
Here's the long and short of it:
When burlesque dancer Francesca "Frankie" Strong's best friend is brutally attacked, it's clear the police aren't going to be much help. Determined not to let the case fall through the cracks, Frankie turns to fellow performer -and undercover cop- Johnny Marsden for help.
His career on the rocks, Johnny hopes Frankie will be his ticket back to the top. Because while her only interest is in protecting her friend, Johnny suspects the attack was part of something larger, something darker... and he's right.
The Devil's Playground is currently available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HLWCAWQ

Tana Woodwolf wakes to find herself trapped within a strange land. She learns quickly from the faces of the others that this is no paradise she has been transported to; it is a prison.
Unable to escape, Tana soon discovers that a dark and malignant force is dragging her and the other prisoners, one-by-one, to unreachable higher rooms of the tower from which they never return.
If she is to ever escape from there then she will need to use all the guile and strength she has within her. Does one of the others hold the key? Or is it something else within the prison that she needs to study?
As the darkness comes nearer, a strange voice whispers;“Look and be free… You have to let go of what you know.”
Should she trust the voice? Should she trust the others? Does she even have a choice?
As despair and terror closes in around them all, only one person can discover the truth and save them...
Note from the author: This is a stand alone story that is set in between 'Call Off The Search' Book One and 'Children Of The Sun' Book Two of the Comyenti Series.

In Dizon's story, militant forces conduct insurgent operations against a provisional government backed by a foreign power seeking to manipulate the sovereign will of the nation and its people. Sound familiar? In this case, the terrorists are the French Resistance, committing atrocities against the Das Reich Division of the Waffen SS, who in turn are rebounding from a death struggle in Russia against the Soviet Army to take on the Allied Expeditionary Force at Normandy. One of the adolescent troops, Lt. Carl Hansen, is in love with a French heiress, Angelique Dagineau, who is suspected of having joined the rebellion. Carl's distraction along the road to Normandy while investigating Angie's disappearance leads directly into the underground network where the issues and conflicts surrounding the guerilla war resonate with the themes of international headlines of today.
The legend of Nazi gold smuggled into South America becomes another intriguing subplot as juxapositioned against a botched drug deal igniting a gang war throughout the underground network. Captain Robert Ruess, an ODESSA operative, sets his sights on gang leader Jacques Tremblay, both men crossing paths with Carl during his crusade to find his beloved Angie. Their vested interests create a vortex triangle bringing death and destruction to those on all sides caught in the crossfire.
The culmination of the world war, political vendettas, internecine rivalries and race struggles leads to what is forever remembered as the Oradour Massacre. The climactic event continues to raise questions that go unresolved to this day. Was the mass murder an unprovoked action in reprisal for guerilla actions in the vicinity, or was Oradour a strategic center for the insurgent strike forces? The brutal murders of abducted German soldiers in the area remains the SS defense to prosecution, yet forensic evidence supporting the allegation of a weapons cache in Oradour has never been fully examined. Dizon provides us with compelling insight into the most infamous mass murder of the 20th century with spine-tingling effect. Yet the greatest battle of all time awaits on the beaches of Normandy, where the wolfsangel (*wolf's hook) banners of the Division are strewn in defeat as Carl and his platoon are forced to flight back across France. Running the gauntlet past the exultant French populace, Carl remains in search of Angie at further risk of his own life as the novel reaches its thrilling conclusion.
Taking on such a saga seems a Shakespearean task, yet the author accomplishes his purpose with his signature style of using dynamic characters, witty dialogue, authentic scenarios and pulse-pounding action, taking the reader on a roller-coaster ride through an incomparable time in world history. For historical fiction fans, action buffs and romance readers alike, Wolfsangel is one you won't want to miss.

It's with great pleasure that I present my newly published sexy,romantic,suspense novel entitled The One.
A razor edge mystery full of unquenchable love, deception and untruths, The One, the first book in the erotic suspense series entitled The Only One, by Belle Ami, proves that no one is quite who they seem.
Fans of romantic fiction will find The One irresistible as they follow Adelia's journey through suspenseful-and-erotic landscapes of love.
The One is an extraordinary, compelling story that is well written. If you liked Fifty Shades of Grey, you'll love The One. Just make sure you have a significant other, or a dashing stranger nearby!

Let me explain. Everyday I started at 8:30 a.m., merely sitting at the computer with no outline and no idea what would happen. I was determined to watch the novel unfold just as a viewer would watch a movie. And that's precisely what happened with my novel, Blaze. The novel wrote itself. All I did was tap the keys.
It's odd, you know, because I was thinking about Edward Snowden at the time and there is a theme in the novel about the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
There is also some historical and painful information, along with a scorching hot love story. For some readers it may seem a little odd, but others will get it.
- Jim Power
Jim Power sometimes writes under his pen name of Summer Newman, including the novel, Blaze. He has been published internationally by 60 magazines and newspapers, including by the Smithsonian Institution and by many of the top outdoors magazines in North America. He has a long history of publishing fiction, from dozens of short stories in New York magazines to seven novels in 2013/2014. He studied Honors English at Saint Mary's University and majored in Russian Literature at Dalhousie University before becoming a writer. In his youth he hitch-hiked tens of thousands of miles.

Two years later, the self-imposed “man-ban” is still going strong, but then Skye walks back into her life. Skye left Bartow thirteen years ago an awkward, pimple-faced boy who didn’t quite fit in, but the man that returns evokes a white-hot fire of desire in her.
Chloe is the only woman Skye has ever loved and he’s not about to let her slip through his fingers again. She may want to put him in the friend zone, but he knows her desire for him is simmering just below the surface.

Summary:
Brianna is lost for the fourth time in her life. Each time was unexpected, and each changed the course of her future. The first life-altering event occurred when her mother died, and she moved to Minnesota to live with her father.
The second was when she was kidnapped at the age of seventeen and forced to be a slave. She would never forget those ten months. Brianna thought her life was over.
Everything changed again the day Stephan steamrolled into her life and brought her home to live with him. She had no idea what to expect—what life with her new Master would hold. That first month with Stephan was, in some ways, more confusing than the prior ten. As a slave, she’d known her place. With Stephan everything was new and different. He’d given her freedom and so much more.
Five months after Stephan rescued her, Brianna once again finds her life flipped upside down.
In this fourth, and final, installment of Finding Anna, Brianna must unearth strength she never knew she possessed. Stephan can no longer protect her from the outside world. She must learn to trust herself, embrace who she is, and discover who she wants to be. Only by facing her demons can Brianna find true happiness and peace.
This is the 4th, and final, book in a serial series. Reading order is: Slave, Need, Truth, Trust.
Today is also the last day Slave, the first book in the series, is available to download FREE on Amazon, iBooks, and TWCS.

She has three other men that have been occupying her mind: Christian, Liam, and Bryce. Hannah-Marie has been thinking things that a married woman shouldn’t, things that her husband would NEVER imagine or suspect. After all of these years of marriage, why now? What is it about these other men? Will Hannah-Marie ruin her marriage and risk it all? Many secrets will be revealed, secrets that have been hidden for years. Does her husband, Matthew, REALLY know his wife, and what secrets have Matthew been hiding?
In a marriage, sometimes you think you know everything about your mate, but you don’t. Will Hannah-Marie come clean to Matthew or will her thoughts become a reality with these three other men? Hannah-Marie thinks she’s the only one with secrets, but she’s in for a surprise when Matthew reveals his secrets as well. Marriage can be a beautiful thing BUT, as we all know, some decisions can change the course of a marriage forever…or do they?

Lust shouts. Love whispers. Only the heart knows the difference.
Former US naval officer Adam Wild considers himself well equipped to restore discipline to the once prestigious St Mary’s Academy for Girls in northern England - and he’s not about to take No for an answer. Still in love with his late wife, he believes himself immune to the temptations of the female staff.
Jenna Murray has learned that she is better off without a man in her life - especially this one, who has stolen the headship she feels should have been hers. Not about to go down without a fight, she undermines his authority at every turn, until even the girls sense the underlying emotion in their constant sparring.
Then Nicole, Adam’s late wife’s kid sister - now all grown up - returns from Africa with a life-threatening condition and a startling request, forcing both Adam and Jenna to re-evaluate their feelings about love.
