<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My mother didn't have secrets; her secrets had her. After she disappeared, I
had nothing.</span></span></div>

<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When the invitation arrived, the opportunity to learn about my mother's past
was too great to pass up. Heading west to meet an aunt I had never heard of, I
knew I was taking a risk, but I craved answers. Instead, I ended up with more
questions, and now the dark history of this town threatens to tear me apart.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When she arrived, none of us had any idea what it meant. Meeting the beautiful
stranger with the mysterious past, I thought she would be a good time, and then
I could just throw her away like all the others. Instead, she consumed me, and
now she's made me question everything I know to be real in my life.</span></span><br />

<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Can I
help you?" I ask dryly without standing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Don't
you get snotty with me, you trashy bitch," she hisses back at me.
"Who do you think you are? There are rules here, and low-class sluts like
you follow them or else." <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><span lang="">Snotty?
Me?</span></i><span lang=""> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Momentarily
taken aback by her hostility, it takes me a few beats to register the rest of
her words. Trashy bitch, I can handle. Low-class, well, she's not entirely
wrong. But slut?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><span lang="">Nuh-uh</span></i><span lang="">. <i>No way, no day.</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I stand,
pulling myself up to my full five feet eight inches, and get nose to nose with
Fascist Barbie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Look,
princess, I'm sitting over here, minding my own business. What the fuck have I
done to offend your delicate sensibilities? Nothing. You don't fucking know me.
So. You. Don't. Get. To. Call. Me. A. Slut." I fire each staccato word at
her. Though I’m genuinely bewildered by this girl’s unmistakable hatred towards
me, I am also seriously pissed off by her shitty attitude. "Back the fuck
up, Barbie, and leave me alone. Shoo." Flicking my fingers at her
dismissively, I stand my ground, waiting for her and her minions to leave. To
my surprise, she leans in even closer, her cloyingly sweet perfume wrapping
around me like a candy-scented lasso.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"That's
not how it works here. You don't get to just show up out of the blue and jump
the line." She peers spitefully down her clearly after-market nose at me.
"There are rules, and just because you're a Bradleigh, don't think they
don't apply to you.”</span></span></div>

humour, darknesses hidden in mind-closets that occasionally Jack-in-The-Box her
unsuspecting ass, and a love and loyalty for her friends and family that runs
deeper than any ocean. Her guy means the world to her, and so does her cat;
sometimes even in that order. Her Mum is her hero, hands down. She proudly
wears the crown of a Queen of Innuendo, and of Name That Tune, and has never

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I read about this. You know, when the good-looking guy looks at a girl and there’s a funny feeling in the tummy? It happens in all the books—didn’t matter if it’s a serious romance or one of those erotica books my mother didn’t let me read but I did anyway—and I thought it silly before too. How would butterflies get in anyone’s stomach to even know what they what they felt like? But for the first time, I understood—a fluttering like tiny wings kissing you on the inside. Note to self—it was a real thing.
My tummy was getting inside kisses when I looked into Mike’s eyes as he held the shell of the gross, raw oyster in his fingers. Not taking the time to look at his fingers before now, I saw they were long and slender. His nails were perfect; I wondered if he did manicures and stuff. That made me wonder about his toes and the thought made me giggle at the image of executive Mike sitting in a salon getting a mani-pedi—bet he’d be on a phone or even a laptop when he was supposed to be relaxing. The image teased a burst of laughter preparing to escape, but then he said those words and no way could a girl make a sound after “take a chance.”
Okay, so he probably meant taking a chance with the oyster, but it could mean so many other things. Blinking, I opened my mouth to ask what he meant, but I also didn’t want to appear to be stupid either. Swallowing, I leaned forward enough to slurp the oyster and I couldn’t help it.
I spit it right back out.
“Oh, it’s gross. So gross!” I waved a hand in front of my face to fan it and heard Mike laughing. I blushed so much I felt as if I would catch on fire as my ever present flee and run instinct reared up, until I once again became fascinated by his laughter. It was the different one again—like he didn’t laugh at me like he found me weird or strange. I felt he did because he thought me funny and smart, or so I hoped. I smiled and wiped my mouth with the cloth napkin and pointed to the oyster as it landed on my saucer. “Who ever thought to open up a shell and go, oh, let’s put this booger-looking thing in our mouth and see what it tastes like?”
Mike gave up trying to eat the other oyster he picked up as his hand braced on his forehead in laughter. “I have never thought to research it. But you do have a point.” He smiled and slurped the oyster back like it was not the grossest thing in the world and let out a sigh I guessed came from pleasure. Oh wow, please let him make that sound after every single one of those nasty things. “I’m going to assume we need to order you something else.” He lifted his hand and the waitress came over as he glanced at me. “What do you want, Rylie? Just say it and it’s yours.”
You…
Naked….
For once, if not the first time ever, my brain actually stopped words from coming out of my mouth and boy, did I get happy about that. I sputtered as the waitress handed me a menu and tried to focus on what it listed, trying not to be distracted by more moans of oyster joy coming from across the table from me. Focus, Rylie, focus. I looked at the menu to see what food might not dribble all over my boobs if I had as much trouble eating as figuring out what to eat. “Uh, can I have the grilled shrimp with the parmesan potatoes?”
The waitress nodded as I handed her the menu back.
I rested my chin on my upraised hand as I watched Mike eat those oysters, almost wishing I’d ordered another platter of them, even if they were gross, just to watch and hear him eat them. He must have become aware I watched because he set the last half-shell down and smiled.
“Anyone told you how incredible your eyes are, Rylie? Especially when they’re staring at a man as he makes a fool of himself with shellfish?”
I blushed again and then covered my face with both of my hands. “No. But you are the first guy I’ve ever watched eating sea boogers.”

Welcome to my worlds, take a seat, get to know me and the characters and I assure you… You’ll be glad you did.” ~Jas T Ward</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Born and raised in Texas, Ward is a mixed bag of creativity spinning tales of paranormal, urban fantasy and even dark romance and horror; wrapped within a love story. She’s been dared to write a few contemporary romances but even those reads have characters that are real and twisted by their creator. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mother of three diverse and independent bold children, Ward prides herself for being the “Queen Niche’ Bitch” which is a handy way of saying she sucks writing to market. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But her readers don’t seem to mind.</div>

safe place for she and her young son. Convinced that her possessive spouse is
hunting them, she is paranoid, exhausted and virtually penniless. Finding
herself stranded in rural Montana, she is taken in by a couple who help her not
knowing her past, and she is able to find work on their ranch. She intends on
staying only long enough to save the money needed to move on to a large city
where she believes they will be safer. But as time passes friendships develop,
as does a love interest, and Taylor struggles to hold on to her secrets.
Inevitably, her past catches up with her and her worst fears will become
reality.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light",sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Malgun Gothic"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This story
is compelling, genuine, and will touch your heart. Taylor had one plan from the
beginning. Keep her child safe. She loved her child fiercely. It meant she must
find a new haven. Away from her haunted past that won’t let her go.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Taylor
finds refuge at a farm in small-town America. This is the perfect place to
start new. She meets wonderful people that help her and her son find a new life.
Owen is exactly what Taylor was not looking for. He immediately gravitates to
both Taylor and Jay. He is a knight and shining armor. A perfect example of a
gentleman. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The
past has closed in on Taylor, but this time, she has a new family that backs her
up. The story turns upside down really quick and it will throw you for a loop. I
had to reread to make sure I was seeing it right. “He did whaaa?!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

There is no other author that can write characters that you will never forget. I am a massive fan of all of Penny's books. </p><p>If any of you have read any of Winston's books, you already love Cletus. He is the most intriguing and sneaky one out of the brothers, and I love him for that. However, don't dismiss Jenn in this book. She cannot be a sweeter and a more genuine person for Cletus. Ying to his Yang. Her family has oppressed Jenn for years. It is time for her to shine. </p><p>This book was terrific. I already enjoyed both characters, along with the Winston family. There are twists and turns, and I read this book in a couple of days.</p><p>I love Penny's books, and I wish the series could go on for years. I appreciate that we have had the opportunity to read more about the family, past the original books. Such a fantastic series, I continue to go back and reread.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b>Excerpt: </b></p>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Don’t stop.” She reached for my belt again, this time completely undoing it, the button of my pants, and my zipper at world-record speed.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Her phone buzzed. Then it chimed. Then it buzzed and chimed two more times. Then it rang again. </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reba.</span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Cursing, Jenn pulled the phone from her pocket, once again her face illuminated, murderous rage in her eyes. Her finger moved to the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">power off</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> button. She blinked, hesitating. Her eyes widened, her body stiffened, and she gasped.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Cletus!”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Something about her tone, like she was horrified, and maybe a little afraid, cut through the heavy haze of lust inertia, and my hands stilled. Shaking myself, it took me a few moments to realize she was showing me the phone screen, and another few to bring the content of the text messages into focus.</span>
<b>Momma</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Jennifer Anne Sylvester, pick up your phone. If you’re with Cletus, I need his help. Please.</span>
<b>Momma</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: ALL THE CHICKENS AND ROOSTERS ARE DEAD! PICK UP YOUR DAMN PHONE!</span>
<b>Momma</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: I’m calling you in a second, pick up the phone. Mr. Badcock’s chickens are dead. All of them. I got here and he’s running around, deranged, yelling about his dead chickens! I called the police and they’re on their way. Please, please, please pick up the phone!</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">At some point, I must’ve taken the phone from Jenn and stepped away, because I glanced up upon reading the messages for the third time, finding the phone in my hand and Jenn fixing her skirt.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“This is nuts.” Her big eyes searched mine imploringly. “Who could have done this?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I shook my head, having not yet managed to fully shift head gears—you know, from </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">that </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">head to the one on my neck—and my gaze dropped to the wet patch on the front of her dress just visible in the swath of light. My erection throbbed.</span>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">So we’re . . . not having sex?</span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Why? Why would they do it? And WHO?” She snatched her phone back, her tone bewildered, distracted, and distraught. She was distraught because of the dead chickens, like any normal person would be.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I was distraught also, but my distress had nothing to do with farm animals.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“We have to go.” Jenn grabbed my hand and began walking toward the direction of the hall. Meanwhile, it took me until her hand found the door handle to realize my zipper and belt were still undone.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“This is crazy.” She paused as I zipped up, her tone halting and distracted. “Poor Mr. Badcock. And those poor chickens.” A sound of distress escaped her throat. “This is terrible.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">It was terrible.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">And I was going to hell.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Because all I could think was, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Talk about a cock block</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes it takes an outsider to force us to see who we are. The real struggle is accepting what we learn. For Beverly Townsen, nothing could be closer to the truth. Virtually a shut-in, Beverly has pulled back from Green Valley’s community, preferring the isolation of her farmhouse and her daily routine of viewing home improvement television shows. When the opportunity arises for her own home improvement and a personal re-assessment, she’s not so excited about the reality of real life versus DIY programs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Jedd Flemming understands physical pain and personal loss, but it’s never stopped him from bucking forward in life. A former military man and rodeo star, his life as a nomad comes to an end with false accusations and a family matter back in the Valley. It’s been a long journey to find his way home and once there, there’s nothing he wants more than to reclaim what he’s lost…and maybe the elusive female reclusive who holds a sliver of his past.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">With an unprecedented proposition, Beverly finds a stranger living in her barn, raising horses on borrowed pastures, and plowing his way into her vacant heart. Old hurts linger, but sometimes love in deed is louder than words.</span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Excerpt</b></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Momma,” she whispers, and I turn at the soft question in her voice. Her eyes scan my face. Does she fear she’ll look like me one day? Those bright eyes will dim, and lines will form in the corners. Will they be rivers formed from tears, or will she eventually find laughter? Does she wonder if her lips will match mine, permanently curled downward? Can my girl still smile? Will her hair go gray too young as mine did? Will the stress of her life turn her into someone lonely and lost?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I blink back the tears fighting for release. I won’t cry. Nothing left to cry over. It’s all gone.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Do you fancy him?” my daughter asks, and I choke on the question.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“What…? I…of course not. Don’t be silly. I’m sure he’d be more interested in the likes of you.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“What’s that supposed to mean?” Hannah asks, brows rising in surprise.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m sure I don’t need to explain the birds and the bees to you. Men like him only want young things and only want one thing from those young things. I don’t think he should stay here,” I sneer, recognizing the pulse at my neck and the thump of my heart. My daughter is a pretty girl, and this older man could be attracted to her for all the wrong reasons. Young girls go for older men to solve their daddy issues. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> “He’s sleeping in the barn,” Hannah counters, her voice deepening in displeasure. Ticking off points on her fingers, she continues, “We don’t need to feed him. He’ll rebuild at his expense or hire what he can’t do himself. The back field will be plowed and prepped for spring planting.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I snort in response, but my eyes return to Jedd’s movement. Into the barn. Out in the yard. My observation traces down his perspiring spine to the waist of his pants where his shirt has untucked. My fingers curl on the armrest of the rocker as my eyes outline the fine globes accentuated by those smooth pants. My mouth goes dry. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">What is it about this man? Why am I suddenly lusting after him?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I can’t. That’s the bottom line. I can’t anything him. Under fifteen percent and tight pants and a perfect backside is still a man with empty words.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My eyes fall blindly on the reality television program. The only man a girl can count on is the fictional kind. I force my attention away from the barn, but my eyes seem to have a will of their own. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“We can’t have a stranger living in our barn,” I huff. Jedd stops, turning in his tracks with a pile of lumber on his shoulder as if he heard me, which is impossible on two counts: the panes of glass and his lack of hearing. Still, he stills, and his eyes narrow on the house as if he knows I’m watching him, I’m talking about him, and I don’t agree with this arrangement.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Too late. He’s moving in.” Hannah definitively nods, dismissing my opinion as Jedd swings back around. She leans down to kiss my cheek and then exits my room, but I remain transfixed.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Suddenly, reality is more fascinating than television.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My eyes continue the cat and mouse game of watching Jedd disappear and then reappear. I don’t know how much time transpires, but eventually, the bed of his truck is empty. Still, I hold my breath as if the barn is a giant octopus, swallowing him whole. I fear he might disappear forever like Howard did, which is the silliest thought I’ve had in a decade. I don’t need Jedd. We don’t need Jedd. There will be no attachment to him. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But then, Jedd appears at the open barn door and gives a single wave toward the house, and I smile in spite of myself.</span>

<b>About L.B. Dunbar</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes it takes an outsider to force us to see who we are. The real struggle is accepting what we learn. For Beverly Townsen, nothing could be closer to the truth. Virtually a shut-in, Beverly has pulled back from Green Valley’s community, preferring the isolation of her farmhouse and her daily routine of viewing home improvement television shows. When the opportunity arises for her own home improvement and a personal re-assessment, she’s not so excited about the reality of real life versus DIY programs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Jedd Flemming understands physical pain and personal loss, but it’s never stopped him from bucking forward in life. A former military man and rodeo star, his life as a nomad comes to an end with false accusations and a family matter back in the Valley. It’s been a long journey to find his way home and once there, there’s nothing he wants more than to reclaim what he’s lost…and maybe the elusive female reclusive who holds a sliver of his past.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">With an unprecedented proposition, Beverly finds a stranger living in her barn, raising horses on borrowed pastures, and plowing his way into her vacant heart. Old hurts linger, but sometimes love in deed is louder than words.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘Love in Deed’ is a full-length contemporary romance, can be read as a standalone, and is book #6 in the Green Valley Library series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.</span></i></div>

<span style="color: lime;"><u>Review:</u></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is fantastic reading a book with older characters. When a person is jaded from prior relationships, it is much more difficult to allow a person to love. When a guy like Jedd shows up at your door, it would be hard to turn him down. Bev is the perfect example of someone that has been burned. In one of the worst ways. </div>
<div>
We are rooting for Jedd and Bev. It's hard to put aside his original motives. However, I think I will make an exception. </div>
<div>
There are many stories that could have a spin off(#1 Hannah), books, that I can't wait to read. L.B. Dunbar did a great job detailing each character. </div>
<div>
This book is absolutely worth your time. Read me!</div>
<div>
I rate the book a 4.4 out of 5.</div>

<b>About L.B. Dunbar</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">L.B. Dunbar has an overactive imagination. To her benefit, such creativity has led to over thirty romance novels, including those offering a second chance at love over 40. Her signature works include the #sexysilverfoxes collection of mature males and feisty vixens ready for romance in their prime years. She’s also written stories of small-town romance (Heart Collection), rockstar mayhem (The Legendary Rock Stars Series), and a twist on intrigue and redemption (Redemption Island Duet). She’s had several alter egos including elda lore, a writer of romantic magical realism through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). In another life, she wanted to be an anthropologist and journalist. Instead, she was a middle school language arts teacher. The greatest story in her life is with the one and only, and their four grown children. Learn more about L.B. Dunbar by joining her reader group on Facebook (Loving L.B.) or subscribing to her newsletter (Love Notes).</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Excuse me,” the woman
repeated, getting closer. She was trying to hide the bookish timidity from her
voice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That voice was crazy
familiar....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“For Christ's sake, you're
excused.” I grumbled as loudly as I could, shifting my arm to further shield my
face from the relentless sunlight. “Now let me sleep.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She scoffed at my
bluntness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The kick in the ribs I received
wasn't bookish or sweet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Fuck me, that's a rude way to
treat a guest.” I recoiled, rolling away onto my stomach. My long, dirty-blond
hair cascaded down both sides of my face as I lifted myself from a push up
position. Once I got my knees under me, I shot a quick glance at her, but my
eyes hadn't adjusted fully, so I only caught a glimpse before the intensity of
the sun forced me to look away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her long, layered, brown hair
had soft curls and was pulled back into a ponytail. She had a slight, yet
athletic frame, and wore a gray dress. Was that the glint of glasses I saw?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wasn't the girl last night a
redhead? I also didn't remember her being this gorgeous....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Rude? Guest?” Her tone
screamed <i>the gall of this man!</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That didn't make any sense. I
distinctly remember being invited to the party last night by a few fans. They
wanted me here. Why was I being yelled at?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My ears were still faintly
humming from all the music I had played. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I carelessly rubbed my sore
chest and abs to get off the matted grass and dirt. It was a useless effort;
all my tattoos made the mess impossible to see, let alone brush off. I desperately
needed a shower. I cocked my head to the side, and through my hanging hair
caught the pretty brunette gawking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She could try to hide it, but I
could tell that she liked what she saw. <i>Damn right,</i> I thought. <i>I
don’t work out five times a week to </i>not<i> look good.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Yeah, <i>guest</i>. You
invited me.” My long hair blanketed my head like an overturned mop. With the
speed and precision of someone who was just hit by a car, I grabbed the wadded
fabric in my back pocket and pulled out a purple G-string. “These are yours,
aren’t they?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Eww, no! And this is school
property. <i>No one</i> invited you to sleep here!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“What?” I flipped my hair back
and took in the surroundings. If they weren't hers, then where the hell was
I? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The long, rectangular building
loomed nearby, obviously some kind of school. I spotted the playground peeking
out from the back of the nicely remodeled building. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Oh wonderful. I'm shirtless and
reeking of booze in front of an elementary school. Definitely not one of the
high points of my life.... <i>Yeah, this won't make it into my autobiography.</i>
I was glad it was Saturday. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At least I hoped it was
Saturday.... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Either way, there were no
children around, thankfully. Although, I'd probably make a good example of what
not to do when you grow up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then it got worse. I spotted
the name on the building—Matt Baker Elementary school. <i>Matt Baker</i>.
That's where I was?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Oh shit…,” I
muttered. That's why she looked and sounded so familiar. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Been There Done That, an all-new second-chance romantic standalone by debut author Hope Ellis, is LIVE!</span></h1>

<em>Theirs was a forever kind of love, until it was stolen.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ZORA LEFFERSBEE’S once perfect life is no longer perfect. Her tenure at the University is in question, funding for her employees uncertain, and her faux-fiancé, Jackson James’s unpredictability is wearing on her last nerve. Just when Zora is convinced things can’t get more complicated, life proves her wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>What the heck is he doing here?</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NICK ROSSI’s complicated life is still extremely complicated. He’s used to fighting for everything he has, but he’s also used to winning. Now a man of power and influence, his return to Green Valley after so many years hasn’t gone according to plan, especially with the woman he’s always wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>She can’t know why I left, or why I’m back.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A powerful woman intent on righting the wrongs of the world, Zora doesn’t have time or energy to deal with the man who broke her young heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A powerful man intent on righting the wrongs of the past, Nick can’t help wanting to protect Zora, even if his devotion is unrequited.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>‘Been There Done That’ is a full-length contemporary romance, can be read as a standalone, and is book #1 in the Leffersbee series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Darra's Review:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Who doesn't like a second chance? No one. If it was Nick, by all means, all about seeing this guy 12 years later. Loved the characters and both Zora and Nick were quick as a whip. Smart is always sexy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was shocking how Nick left. It was shocking Zora didn't give in the moment he walked back into her life. Both are devoted to each other. It had to take time for Zora to see some things will always remain.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
BTW-Jackson! I have hated him for so long. Somehow he is growing on me like that dog that comes backs for scraps. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I rate the book a 4.3 out of 5.</div>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Beef Cake, an all-new small town contemporary romance from Jiffy Kate, is LIVE! </span></h1>
<img alt="DB04-BC-EBOOK" class=" size-full wp-image-242 aligncenter" height="640" src="https://brookeblogblog.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/db04-bc-ebook.jpg" width="400" />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">If opposites do actually attract, then Gunnar Erickson and Frankie Reeves take the cake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Frankie Reeves is complicated, even though she won’t admit it. She fills her days working as an ER nurse, taking care of her mom, and searching for the father she never knew. Anything else has no place in her perfectly compartmentalized, purposefully simple life. Attachments? No thank you. She has no time for that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Gunnar Erickson recently moved to Green Valley to train at Viking MMA with his brother Cage. Being the youngest of the Erickson clan, he’s always felt like he has something to prove, and now that he’s finished with college, it’s his time to shine. But before he can step into the ring, a freak accident sends him to the ER and into the care of one Frankie Reeves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">While he’s immediately smitten, she pretends to be unfazed by this six-foot-three, two hundred and thirty-pound beef cake. Gunnar sets out to prove to Frankie that, not only does she like him more than she wants to admit, but he’s not the uneducated, brute she assumes he is. To Frankie, he’s the worst kind of complication, but that doesn’t make it easy to stay away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The Smarty Pants Romance posse does an amazing job bringing the town to life. However the town became so much more with Gunnar. I loved Cage, but something about Gunnar outbeats Viking #1. Frankie is not the normal damsel in distress. She handles her own. If a guy like Gunnar turned up at my job, I wouldn't even know what to do. Frankie is calm and cool, but there is so much more about her that she didn't even know.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The plots folds out perfectly and there are times that you can't see they would work. With all the craziness of the tricycle bar(you will understand if you read Green Valley), it was looking bleak for a minute. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can't tell you more. You need to read the book!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I rate the book a 4.3. It was a fun read.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am really happy that I read this book even though I was
not super excited to do it. I thought it was going to be boring and not hold my
interest, but I read it in less than a day. I am not really sure why I thought
that but I did. I really liked Avery. She had taken care of herself for years
and made the best of what she could. She did not complain and was not whiny.
Ben was pretty great too. You can see that he is not a bad guy but he is very
focused to the point of not noticing anything but work. I really liked
Ben and Avery’s initial meeting. Basically, this book makes you realize that
you should never just assume things. Considering that they never really spoke
to each other the majority of the book, it was very funny and I loved their
relationship. Avery was really funny and did some of the best and worst things
to Ben. I think that they are one of my favorite recent couples. I don’t want
to give away too much but the ending made me happy. Avery really surprised at
the end but I feel like if I told you why it would be a spoiler. I guess you
will just need to read it to find out. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<b><span style="color: lime;">Darra's Review:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is such a bitter sweet story. Don't worry, only bitter in the beginning! All but 3 characters were lovable and it makes you like the Green Valley town. Which is always questionable when the town is so small and gossip is so loud. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finley was given a crap hand in the beginning, but life moves her back to live with Grambea and the trio of ladies. I guess the saying "when one door closes, another opens" is exacting what this book is about. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And about Zeke, whats not to like? He is amazing and you will have to read the book to agree with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A great book that you should check out. I rate the book a 4.4 out of 5.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> Except</span></div>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As Zeke worked on uploading the census records, I hoisted one of the many boxes from the Henderson’s donation onto the table. It kicked up an epic dust cloud. I reached inside to pluck out one of the moldering tomes of historical literature. Wrinkling my nose, I fought the urge to sneeze. Instead, I cleared my throat. When it still felt like I had swallowed a wad of sawdust, I coughed. And that was my grievous mistake. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The force of the cough dislodged the Ben Wa ball, sending it into an epic downward dive. Yes, ladies and gentlemen the Ben Wa ball had left the building. Whirling away from Zeke, I used my hand to try an inconspicuous crotch shuffle to send the ball back to its point of origin. What happened next was truly against the laws of motion. Because the universe apparently hated me, the ball escaped the confines of my thong. As it started its descent down my thigh, I squeaked and clamped my knees together. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Are you all right?” Zeke asked behind me. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I threw a glance at him over my shoulder. “Uh, yeah, I . . .” Okay, I had no idea how I was going to get out of this one. It wasn’t like I could say, “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, here’s the thing. The Ben Wa ball I was using to strengthen my pelvic floor muscles to keep my vagina healthy for the D just slipped out and is about to make a very unhappy trail down my leg.”</span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think a bug bit me or something.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Oh no. Want me to take a look?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“No!” When Zeke’s eyes widened at my outburst, I said, “Sorry. I’m okay.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you’re sure.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Totally.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think I might’ve found something interesting for your research.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The only thing I was interested in at the moment was getting the Ben Wa ball out of my pants without Zeke seeing it. “Oh?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I definitely see some Native American female names.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Damn him for being enthusiastic about my research. The last thing I wanted to do was walk the couple of steps back over to him while trying to keep a Ben Wa ball from rolling down my pants leg. Since I couldn’t see any other way out of it, I nodded. Gritting my teeth, I started shuffling over to him. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">When I started lurching like Frankenstein’s monster, Zeke tilted his head curiously at me. “Are you sure you’re okay?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Yep. Totally fine,” I muttered. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Just as I reached his chair, my knee shifted because of what I imagined was panic sweat overtaking me. As the ball became dislodged, I bit down on my lip to keep from squealing again. There was no saving the ball now or my humiliation for that matter. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As soon as it plopped onto my shoe, I flung my foot, sending it ricocheting into the desk. Of course, it’s size caused it to make a tremendous ching-ching noise, which in turn caused Zeke to rip his attention away from the screen. “What was that?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“What was what?” I questioned innocently. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He furrowed his brows at me. “You didn’t hear that noise?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Uh, no.” Plastering a smile on my face, I said, “I’m sorry. I was just so into what you were saying.” </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Ignoring my response, Zeke quickly assessed the area around us. After I’d flung the ball away, it had come to a rest to the right of his desk chair. When he bent over to examine the ball, I inwardly began screaming noooooo while at the same time cursing Estelle for even bringing the Ben Wa ball into my orbit. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Since the universe hadn’t tortured me quite enough yet, Zeke picked up the ball. “Interesting,” he murmured as he twisted it between his fingers.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I decided it was best to play absolutely and completely clueless in this situation. “What is it?” Silently, I prayed he wouldn’t respond with, “It looks like one of those sex balls you shove up your cooch.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I don’t know. Maybe a part off one of the desks or chairs. I should probably give it to maintenance, so they can check all the furniture in here.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh hell no. Without a second thought, I snatched the ball out of his hands. Since I did it rather abruptly, Zeke’s surprise was apparent on his face. Waving my free hand dismissively, I said, “Don’t bother yourself with that. I’ll take it to them.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Thanks, Finley.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">After wheezing out a breath, I replied, “You’re welcome.” I jerked my thumb over my shoulder. “I’ll go do that right now.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I didn’t bother waiting for Zeke to reply. Instead, I power walked right out of the history room. I’m sure if he was watching me he would have been puzzled at my miraculous recovery, considering I’d been limping earlier. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">At the first trash can I could find, I deposited the Ben Wa ball. It seemed abundantly clear that neither I nor my vagina were quite ready to handle the responsibility. </span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cormac Delaney was everything I hated about men—arrogant,
smug and condescending, but he was also everything my body responded
to—gorgeous, tall, brooding, and confident. Oh, and he happened to be a partner
at the publishing company I was trying to get signed to. My
book—“Fu*#$@Boys”—about how men are selfish, sex-crazed pigs—was one vote away
from being published—his vote. But not only did he hate my book, he asked me a
question that would change things between us forever:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“How can you be an expert on men when you’ve never been in a
real relationship?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">He had a point, but I wasn’t about to let him know. Instead
I did what any self-respecting writer and podcaster would do—I proposed a
radical social experiment. Cormac and I would live together for one month as
boyfriend and girlfriend. If he could change my mind about men I’d withdraw my
book. If not, he’d agree to publish it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My only condition? No sex, or anything physical, whatsoever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I never thought he’d go for it, but I guess I was wrong
about him, in more ways than one. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Cormac Delaney,
even if he is easy on the eyes. . .fine, he’s good looking. . .alright, he’s
hot as hell, but still! To do this I’m going to have to remind myself of a few
things: we’re only an experiment, nothing more. He’s not the most gorgeous man
I’ve ever seen in my life, he absolutely does not have a body that makes me
tingle in all the right places, and I’m never, under any circumstances, going
to let myself fall for him. . .<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Right?</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">After catching her husband in a compromising position, Finley Granger finds herself in a new hell: reentering the dating world. When she moves in with her grandmother, her great-aunt, and their best friend, Finley finds herself surrounded by a trio of well-meaning yet bumbling matchmakers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">In spite of their efforts, Finley only has eyes for one person, and that’s Zeke Masters—the 6’4”, impossibly built, and ridiculously good-looking new man in town. Along with her nether regions, Finley’s journalistic spidey-senses tingle as to why he’s on sabbatical from Seattle. Is he on the lam or escaping a bad breakup? What’s his story?!?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">As Finley finds herself reluctantly drawn to the gorgeous IT guy, she can’t help but wonder: should she indulge in a rebound tryst with the mysterious Zeke, or has she finally met her match?</span></div>

Darra's Review:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is such a bitter sweet story. Don't worry, only bitter in the beginning! All but 3 characters were lovable and it makes you like the Green Valley town. Which is always questionable when the town is so small and gossip is so loud. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finley was given a crap hand in the beginning, but life moves her back to live with Grambea and the trio of ladies. I guess the saying "when one door closes, another opens" is exacting what this book is about. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And about Zeke, whats not to like? He is amazing and you will have to read the book to agree with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A great book that you should check out. I rate the book a 4.4 out of 5.</div>

Darra's Review,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was awesome what Tempest did to her ex. That is what every woman wishes she can do, but I don't think anyone would bail me out. Probably one of the best break up ever. Now how the break up happened is a worst nightmare. This alone is the reason why you should read the book.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now onto Cage. He is an easygoing guy that you can't help but like. They were meant to meet each other and they are the ying to his yang. He brings the best out of her. How perfect is that? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I rate the book a 4.5 out of 5.</div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Happy Trail, an all-new opposites attract standalone romance from </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">USA Today</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> bestselling author Daisy Prescott, is available now!</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="20190718_GVPR01_Happy Trail_Prescott_KDP_FINAL" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-142" height="640" src="https://cattyjanepa.files.wordpress.com/2019/10/20190718_gvpr01_happy-trail_prescott_kdp_final.jpg" width="399" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A man of few words, Ranger Jay Daniels values the calm, quiet solitude of the Great Smoky Mountains. Never quite fitting in with either side of his family, he prefers the company of birds and trees to people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Yeah, he’d most definitely prefer a bird—any bird, any bird at all, take a vulture for instance—to the human-tornado hybrid that just blew onto his peaceful stretch of the Appalachian Trail.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The path of true love never has run smooth for Olive Perry. After getting dumped and promptly abandoned in the middle of her multi-month hike, Olive swears off men. Determined to finish the long trek by herself, she doesn’t need a prince—or broody and taciturn ranger—to save her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet, when an early snowstorm threatens the mountains, and Ranger Daniels is charged with getting hikers to safety, that includes hot-tempered Olive Perry. Snowed in and forced to share an abandoned cabin, can Olive’s heated intensity melt Jay’s cool reserve?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">And if so, will this happy trail lead to true love? Or will their time together be just another bump in the road?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">'Happy Trail' is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book#1 in the Park Ranger series.</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">What a way to start off this hike for Olive! I liked this book. It had good characters despite the difference between the two. Jay is amazing from the beginning. I was Leary about Olive since her family is wealthy and it appeared that she lives that life of luxury. However she found her calling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">That's when Jay found her. Despite being opposite people, they worked out perfectly. Yeah, I got my happily ever after. She became the person I hoped for.</span></div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Hiding. I believe you took an oath to protect and serve.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Pfft. You’re confusing me with a police officer. I’m here to engage, educate, and empower.” He moves so he’s beside me.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“You carry a gun, don’t you?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Sometimes. Do you see a holster now?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I scan his hips and shake my head, allowing my eyes to linger on the tight fit of his uniform pants over his strong thighs and the thick belt at his narrow waist. Ranger Daniels is packing heat, but not of the pistol variety.</span>
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is it hot in here, or is it just me?</span></i>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A distinct braying reaches my ears.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Is that a donkey?” I tip my head.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“What would a donkey be doing up here? Makes no sense.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Ask him. Or her.” I point at the gray beast moving toward us. “I’m a city girl, but I’m pretty sure that’s an ass.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Well, I’ll be damned.” Jay removes his hat.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Maybe he plans to shoo away our attacker with it?</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The gray form ambles toward us, letting out a loud bray and revealing large teeth.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Should we be worried?” I’m standing behind Jay again.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“About a donkey? They’re mostly docile. He’s probably just curious.” Shifting his attention forward, he addresses our new friend. “Hey there. Where’d you come from?”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The donkey halts.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“See? He’s fine. Probably thinks we’re bringing treats.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“And what will he do when he realizes we’re showing up to his house empty-handed?” I’m half mocking. In my world, not bringing a hostess gift is an unthinkable breach of etiquette. I have no idea about the social decorum for equines.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Let’s go.” Jay encourages me forward with a sweep of his hat.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">We take several steps and the donkey does the same without breaking eye contact, like we’re about to duel. There’s definitely a challenge, a mild threat in the eyes of our new foe.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Should we slowly retreat to the fence?” I whisper at Jay’s back.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Nah, we’re fine.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Maybe he’s a guard donkey.” I slide a glance over my shoulder toward safety. We’re a dozen or so yards away, but it isn’t too late to make a quick escape.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Jay’s eyes meet mine. “You know guard donkeys aren’t a thing.”</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m a stranger in a strange land—anything’s possible.” I wait until he faces forward to stick my tongue out at him. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s shaking his head and clearly not paying attention to me anymore as he stomps across the squishy field.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Left with no choice, I follow after him.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My boot slips in the mud, or donkey poop—it’s impossible to tell the difference. I squawk and flail my arms as I tumble forward in an awkward motion resembling the mating dance of an emu.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The donkey’s ears prick up before flattening against his head.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Uh oh,” I murmur as I straighten up. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s fine,” Jay says for the dozenth time.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Only he’s wrong.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Happy Trail, an all-new opposites attract standalone romance from </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">USA Today</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> bestselling author Daisy Prescott, is available now!</span></h2>

<img alt="20190718_GVPR01_Happy Trail_Prescott_KDP_FINAL" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-142" height="640" src="https://cattyjanepa.files.wordpress.com/2019/10/20190718_gvpr01_happy-trail_prescott_kdp_final.jpg" width="399" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">A man of few words, Ranger Jay Daniels values the calm, quiet solitude of the Great Smoky Mountains. Never quite fitting in with either side of his family, he prefers the company of birds and trees to people.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Yeah, he’d most definitely prefer a bird—any bird, any bird at all, take a vulture for instance—to the human-tornado hybrid that just blew onto his peaceful stretch of the Appalachian Trail.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The path of true love never has run smooth for Olive Perry. After getting dumped and promptly abandoned in the middle of her multi-month hike, Olive swears off men. Determined to finish the long trek by herself, she doesn’t need a prince—or broody and taciturn ranger—to save her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet, when an early snowstorm threatens the mountains, and Ranger Daniels is charged with getting hikers to safety, that includes hot-tempered Olive Perry. Snowed in and forced to share an abandoned cabin, can Olive’s heated intensity melt Jay’s cool reserve?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">And if so, will this happy trail lead to true love? Or will their time together be just another bump in the road?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">'Happy Trail' is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book#1 in the Park Ranger series.</span></i></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Because when we met, she didn't need true love. She needed a best friend. And that's what I've been to her... for five years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
But when Jocelyn meets a handsome stranger her first day working at Donner Bakery and she lets him buy her a dill pickle cupcake, I realize with ominous regret that I may have missed my window with my best friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
If I can't get her to see past our friendship, my new curse may be to watch the love of my life move on with someone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
'Baking Me Crazy' is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book#1 in the Donner Bakery series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Centaur",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Is it really a curse? For Levi, it was, for years. I needed
his curse to be fate. It became so, but boy did he have to wait.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Centaur",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Levi is amazing. He was funny and was what every woman wanted
in town. But his heart belonged to his best friend, Jocelyn. I LOVE this series
already. I only put this book down when I had to go to work. It’s a light read
and it will hit the spot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Centaur",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Karla Sorensen brought this story to life. Started the Donner
Bakery Series perfectly and can’t wait to read more of her books.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Excerpt:</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
"Besides, this is my best friend perk. Shouldn't I get perks in baked goods?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
She cut me a look. "You've been getting those perks for two years, Buchanan. Don't even pretend you didn't put on a solid ten pounds that first year I started baking." Quite pointedly, she looked at my stomach, which we both knew was covered in muscle.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
“That's rude," I mumbled under my breath. I flexed my bicep. Nero licked my elbow since it was right in front of him. "Yeah, ten pounds in my left arm maybe."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The noise she made roughly translated to you are ridiculous. She made that sound at me a lot. Of course, the sad truth of the matter was that I was ridiculous.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Not once in the past five years had my feelings lessened for her. I had just learned to live with them. In my junior year of undergrad, I was taking a class on brain pathology in injuries, and a man came to talk to us about how he learned to live without his right arm after it was amputated.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
He told us about how, even years after he lost his arm, his brain still triggered sensations to the limb that was no longer there. The adult brain, in particular, struggled to reorganize after the loss of a limb, and given that four out of five amputees suffer from phantom pain symptoms, some of which were incredibly debilitating, it was a lesson that stuck with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I wasn't fool enough to think that me loving Jocelyn was on par with a man who’d lost his arm, but something about the way he talked plucked at a chord inside me. Sometimes my brain struggled to remember that we were just friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
She'd never dated, never even hinted that she wanted to. She'd never given me a longing glance. Never stared at my mouth like she wondered what it tasted like.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
But my hands never, not once, stopped wanting to reach for hers. My fingers always, always itched to dig into her crazy hair and see what the curve of her scalp felt like.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
My brain knew what this relationship was, but sometimes, the signals it sent to the rest of my body didn't always match up with the truth of our situation. We worked out together a lot, Joss and I, and when she got frustrated with the limitations of her body, I always wanted to wrap my arms around her.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I wanted to pull her into the curve of my body, absorb her dissatisfaction into my skin, and carry it for her. That was the irony when she made noises like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
She had absolutely no clue how ridiculous I really was.</div>
<div dir="ltr">

About Karla Sorensen</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
Karla Sorensen has been an avid reader her entire life, preferring stories with a happily-ever-after over just about any other kind. And considering she has an entire line item in her budget for books, she realized it might just be cheaper to write her own stories. It doesn’t take much to keep her happy…a book, a really big glass of wine, and at least thirty minutes of complete silence every day. She still keeps her toes in the world of health care marketing, where she made her living pre-babies. Now she stays home, writing and mommy-ing full time (this translates to almost every day being a ‘pajama day’ at the Sorensen household…don’t judge). She lives in West Michigan with her husband, two exceptionally adorable sons and big, shaggy rescue dog.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Out-of-work violinist Erica Timberly decides enough is
enough. She leaves her abusive boyfriend and flees the big city, but then her
car breaks down in the middle of the night. Though wary of men, she accepts
help from Dylan Haynes, a stranger driving by on the road, and soon recognizes
him as the sexy former drummer of her favorite indie rock band. Maybe, just
maybe, her run of bad luck is finally turning around.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Music teacher Dylan Haynes knows Erica is in trouble, and
her black eye is only the first clue. The stubborn yet vulnerable woman needs a
friend, but he’s determined to give her everything she deserves. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Will Erica listen to the music in her heart and trust Dylan,
or will her past always threaten her future?<o:p></o:p></div>

Excerpt </h1>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Dylan deepened the kiss
and lightly tugged on her bottom lip. Tears streaked his flushed cheeks as he
smiled at her. “I’m so grateful I found you, baby. I heard you screaming. When
I saw that bastard press a gun to your head, my heart nearly exploded. I
thought I might lose you. I promise you, Erica, I will never control you as
Phil did. You will always have the ability to choose. I just want to make you
happy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
She gripped his hand and
brushed her lips across his calloused knuckles. “I know. You do make me happy.
You took a bullet for me.” A sob constricted her throat, but she pushed it
down.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
A blast of noise rent the
air. Fireworks filled the sky, visible in the alley from the narrow stretch of
space between the buildings.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
Erica loved the bright
colors and designs, but hardly cared about watching the spectacle. She dropped
her gaze back to Dylan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
A grin spread across his
face. “It’s been one wild Fourth of July. Why don’t we do something more
low-key next year? How about no guns and crazy exes? Just us, the creek, and a
bottle of wine. Clothing optional.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
She laughed softly, amazed
he could make light of the situation. “That sounds perfect. Absolutely
perfect.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Baking Me Crazy, the first in the romantic comedy Donner Bakery Series of standalones, from Karla Sorensen is available now!</span></h2>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Because when we met, she didn't need true love. She needed a best friend. And that's what I've been to her... for five years.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">But when Jocelyn meets a handsome stranger her first day working at Donner Bakery and she lets him buy her a dill pickle cupcake, I realize with ominous regret that I may have missed my window with my best friend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">If I can't get her to see past our friendship, my new curse may be to watch the love of my life move on with someone else.</span></div>

<b>About Karla Sorensen</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Karla Sorensen has been an avid reader her entire life, preferring stories with a happily-ever-after over just about any other kind. And considering she has an entire line item in her budget for books, she realized it might just be cheaper to write her own stories. It doesn’t take much to keep her happy…a book, a really big glass of wine, and at least thirty minutes of complete silence every day. She still keeps her toes in the world of health care marketing, where she made her living pre-babies. Now she stays home, writing and mommy-ing full time (this translates to almost every day being a ‘pajama day’ at the Sorensen household…don’t judge). She lives in West Michigan with her husband, two exceptionally adorable sons and big, shaggy rescue dog.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Speechless. I want to reread the book right
now….but first I have to tell you. You can’t not read this book. That’s right,
worth a double negative. I love Lucia Franco’s book. I LOVVVED this book. Every
emotion of my body. I feel like I should pull out a smoke and take a moment to
think over this book again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Let me begin with Aubrey and James were hot
as hell. Wow, that connection was mind blowing. They were perfect in an
imperfect situation. This will make you want to go out and find a silver fox. Never
have I said that in my life. The rest of the book was great and the characters were
prefect. Yes, Natalia needs her own book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I’m not into old guys, Daddy issues, MC
hardcore, Gangsters, but James is one on his own. Yes he is a married man and
is a Dad, but in this story, that means nothing. James will be shelfed away as
one of my favorites. This shelf is not that big. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">You need to know is Hush, Hush will move
you. You love, you cry, you feel everything Aubrey and James does. Best book
this year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3>
Excerpt</h3>
Balancing an armload of mail, an overloaded briefcase, and a gym bag with two yogurt cups teetering on top, Dierdre Clancy rushed to her cubicle. For the fourth time this week, and the umpteenth time this month, she was late. Once again, a power outage in the decrepit apartment building where she lived had caused her alarm clock to fail.<br />
Please, Lord, don’t let my chauvinist pig of a boss realize I’ve been missing.<br />
The yogurt cups threatened to topple off the gym bag. Dierdre wasn’t about to let her lunch decorate the linoleum. The mail showered to the floor. The briefcase hit her foot. With her free hand, she plastered the cups to her side. The gym bag slid down her arm. The webbed strap twisted, tourniquet style, around her wrist.<br />
She managed a couple of sideways hops that brought her to the edge of her desk. The gym bag swung wildly. Leaning against the arm weighed down by the bag’s stranglehold, she managed to dump the yogurt cups onto the desk without mishap. She pulled herself upright and reached for the strap at her wrist.<br />
Somehow, during all the hopping, the bag had swung around her legs and gotten wedged in the narrow space between her desk and file cabinet. The same strap that cut off circulation to her hand pressed into the backs of her knees, pinning her neatly to the desk. Only an act of extreme dexterity could save her from her own folly. Imbecile, why didn’t you make two trips?<br />
Because I didn’t want to risk having the boss see me coming in late.<br />
“Clancy! You’re late.”<br />
Dierdre’s heart hit the ceiling. She knew the shout—a cross between an operatic tenor and a pig at slaughter. Still, she hadn’t been prepared to hear her boss’s screeching quite so soon.<br />

<strong>Hero Bio:</strong> Adam Talcott was born rich. He went into business with his best friend from college and made even more millions. His methods may be unorthodox, but he nearly always succeeds. Now he’s been challenged to live for two months without any of the privileges and resources he’s known all his life. Adam is confident that he can conquer this challenge as he has all others. But he didn’t count on Dierdre Clancy and that danged cat.<br />
<strong>Heroine Bio:</strong> Dierdre Clancy grew up in a family of givers. Her parents were missionaries and often too busy saving other, less privileged people to realize how lonely and abandoned Dierdre felt. When she reached her teen years, she was shipped back to the USA to live with her Aunt Shea on Shea’s rundown farm and animal shelter. Finally she was in a stable environment with an adult she could count on. Dierdre went on to gain a degree in social work and took up the Clancy family tradition of helping others. Most of the time helping others was easy. But Adam Talcott broke that mold and every other box she tried to put him into. How could one man be so difficult to manage?<br />

Darra's Review:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift SemiLight",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Let’s start with this cat is insane. Crazy
100%. Adam has a grand life when Dierdre is struggling to find a job in the
city. However until then, back to her Aunt’s farm. When she returns, there is a
questionable stranger that got a job with no questions. I would want to kick
this guy out too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift SemiLight",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Adam is a city boy and must have soft
hands. Has no clue to live the country life. So he is thrown for a loop trying
to learn what all entails taking care of a farm. He finally gets it after a while,
but also develops feelings for Diedre.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift SemiLight",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Diedre tries to refrain from liking Adam
but can’t help himself since he is extremely hot. She wants to have nothing to
do with him but it is hard when you see him everyday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift SemiLight",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In the end, Adam redeems himself, which
makes the ending better. Honestly, I didn’t see the fireworks go off between
the two. I was surprised that he wanted her in his lifelong term. Diedre seemed
infatuated with him but not in love. Feelings will grow after the books end and
I am happy to say there is a HEA.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift SemiLight",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I rate the book a 3 out of 5. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
