ABOUT THE BOOK:
From award-winning author, Julie Coulter Bellon, comes On the Edge, a romantic suspense from her Canadian Spies series.

Dylan Campbell, a CSIS officer, has been undercover hundreds of times before and is ready to get out of the game. But before he can tell his bosses at the Canadian spy agency, he discovers a terrorist plot that could take him―and millions of others―out permanently. Getting the information up the chain of command proves complicated, though, when Dylan's cover is blown and he's captured and thrown in an African prison. Will he be the first test subject for the new and deadly virus about to be unleashed on the world?



American CIA officer Elizabeth Spencer is undercover for one reason―to find the virus being weaponized at a private hospital in Africa. When she meets Dylan, a Canadian photojournalist, she uses him to strengthen her story that she's only there to help. But the more she works with Dylan, the more the lines between professional and personal get blurred. She knows better than to get involved with someone while on assignment and the reason for that rule hits home when the terrorists' move up their timetable and Dylan is put in grave danger. Can she stand by and watch him die?



With everything on the line, Dylan and Elizabeth have one chance to stop the terrorist attack before it reaches North America―but they have to make it to Greece. Can they break Dylan out of prison and stay alive long enough to prevent the release of the virus? Or will one or the other be called upon to offer the ultimate sacrifice?

MY THOUGHTS:

If you have read other books by Julie this one is just as great as the others? Edge of your seat suspense! If you haven’t read one yet this would be a great one to start with. I love that this one included a woman as an Agent you don’t see that very often and typically you think of it as a man’s job. Julie has a way of writing that helps you believe the woman character is just as strong as the men! The terrorist plot in this story scares me. I am sure that this has been attempted at some point or that it will be and that is frightening. I also enjoyed the ending of this book. That the happily ever after was something that they had to work for and that it didn’t just happen naturally. That is something you don’t see very often in books. I thought it was a great touch! As always I loved reading one of Julie’s books!

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Charity White can’t forget the horrific crime that happened ten years ago when she and her best friend, Andrea, spontaneously cut through the woods on their way home from high school. In the middle of their trek, a man abducted Andrea, who hasn’t been seen since. Since that fateful day, Charity has tried to outrun the memories and guilt of that one hasty decision. What if she and her friend hadn’t taken that shortcut? Why wasn’t Charity taken instead of Andrea? And why weren’t the police ever able to track down the bad guy? When Charity receives a mysterious letter that promises answers, she decides to face her worst nightmare. She returns home to North Carolina in search of closure and a touch of the peace that has eluded her for the past decade. With the help of her new neighbor, Police Officer Joshua Haven, Charity begins to track down mysterious clues. They soon discover that they must work together or both of them will be swallowed by the looming darkness.

MY THOUGHTS:

My biggest complaint about this book is that I could not put it down. There was a pause on all things house and kids for a full 24 hours until I could finish this book. I read every second between all the things I absolutely couldn't avoid This book is full of suspense, surprises and a little romance for fun! Christy Barritt has this way of pulling you in from the first chapter and keeps you hooked until the end. It was another great one and her books just keep getting better and better! Loved it!

Love Under Construction Cover Reveal and Giveaway!

They say that love and business don’t mix . . . 

Charlee is angry...

What do you do when your boss makes someone else the lead on a big renovation project that should rightfully be yours? You quit. On second thought, that might not be the best idea, but Charlee Jackson has never been one for second thoughts. Instead, she lands a big contract of her own. She’s jumping into her new life—work boots, tool belt and all. Now she just needs to form a company and hire contractors and buy supplies and get an office and not fall in love with her former boss's son. Yeah. Definitely not that last one.

Peter is torn...

You can’t date someone who works for you, but now that his dad let Charlee walk out the door, Peter Elliot is considering his options. Charlee was their top renovation expert, his best friend’s sister, and the only thing that made the drudgery of running a large construction business bearable. But how do you date a competitor, especially one your father is trying to drive out of business? It would be stupid to make your dad angry right before he retires and hands the company over to you. Right?

When Charlee and Peter are scheduled to work on the same Indulgence Row house, their feelings and priorities are put to the test. They need to make a choice, and they better be quick about it, because the whole mixture is curing fast and threatening to crumble to pieces.

Free Fallin': Book 2 in the Love and Weddings Trilogy by; Shannon Guymon

To learn more about Shannon and her awesome books visit her web site: http://shannonguymon.blogspot.com/

ABOUT THE BOOK:
In the past, Pule Matafeo hasn't had the best reputation but now he’s stepping up when others need to count on him. He's doing his best to be a responsible man, so when Posey Tyler shows up and throws his whole life into commotion, he's not sure whether to run or embrace the wildness. And when tragedy strikes, Pule is the one people turn to to hold the family together, bringing everyone closer than ever before. Will he choose a life without risk, or will he give Posey a chance to hold his heart? But if he gambles on love, will everything he’s worked hard to rebuild, be destroyed?

MY THOUGHTS:

Without fail when I start a Shannon Guymon book, I can not stop. I was up until 1am. This one, WOW! It will leave you feeling emotionally crazy. It's not very often a book makes me cry, and hurt and sorta happy all at the same time. Pule deserved a good story and I thought this was the perfect fit for him. He has done a lot of growing up the past book or 2 but still had some more to do. He defiantly comes full circle in this book. I loved his story! My heart aches for the other shocker in this book that I won't spoil, if your a fan you won't want to miss this. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. I have really come to love the people of Fircrest. This book increases that love as they all pull together for tragedy. It's still really tough for me and it's just a book. This is one of the best books of the set for sure! Shannon's books rock! ;)

In THE PIER CHANGES EVERYTHING, an enchanting novella by Annette Lyon, Alexandria has one last task to perform for her late husband, who died much too young: scatter his ashes in the Pacific Ocean. She goes to the Santa Monica Pier to do just that, but her plans get sidetracked after meeting Michael and feeling an immediate connection to him. They grab lunch, and the more time they spend together, the more they discover that they have in common—including past romantic hardships.

The host gets her to admit that she was in love once, with a guitar player. Moments after her segment, Lance Holden appears on the same stage, to perform his newest song. Is it a terrible coincidence? AnneMarie hasn’t seen Lance ever since he broke her heart ten years ago, and she has refused to think about him again. Their lives are worlds apart, but as Lance tries to reconcile with AnneMarie, she finds herself taking a second chance.

In STAY WITH ME, an endearing novella by Shannon Guymon, Jolie moves to L.A. to take on a nanny position for the summer, since apparently having a degree in art doesn’t translate to getting a job as a graphic designer. When Fitz, the family’s chauffeur, picks her up at the airport, she wonders if every man in LA is model-gorgeous. When Jolie meets her two charges, she finds them adorable and needy. But it’s harder to hold onto her job than she thought with a hostile Mrs. James and her spoiled brother. Fitz becomes both the silver lining of her job and the man who just might convince her to stay in L.A.

In the delightful novella, A PLACE TO CALL HOME, by Sarah M. Eden, Ada is the best realtor around. The best. She prides herself in matching each client with the house that will fit all of their needs. She hasn’t failed yet. So when Craig hires her to find him the perfect condo for him and his son, Ada is up for the challenge. What she may not be prepared for is her unforeseen attraction to Craig, her immediate attachment to his nine-year-old son, and her heart telling her that it’s okay to take another chance.

MY THOUGHTS:

I love these Romance Anthologies! Not only are the novellas always awesome, so are the Authors! I love that they always try to include 3 new Authors each time. It is the best way to introduce you to new Authors, I have discovered many this way, and I am never disappointed! All the stories are sweet, clean romances that be read quickly! I couldn't put this book down until I was done. Even my Mom who isn't much of a romance reader likes to read these sets because they are like the feel good romances we like to watch on TV. I enjoyed all of the stories equally and can't wait for the next set!

I love all of the people in the little town if Fircrest and I like that if you get more of Shannon’s books you get to read about each one individually and get to know them better. It was another great book to add to my collection. I can’t wait to read the next one!
