Leave a reply

A New Release from a good friend and fellow author.

Road To Fire from @marialuisauthor is coming on April 30th! It’s dark, it’s gritty, and there’s a pretty good chance it’s the royal romance you never even realized that you wanted. Your new anti-hero obsession is almost here—do you think you can handle Saxon Priest?
Release Date: April 30th
Coming to Kindle Unlimited!
Book 1 in the Broken Crown Trilogy


★ BLURB ★
“I’m not scared of you.”
I meet her gaze. “You should be.”
Bound by a secret oath spanning generations, I am loyal to no one but the queen.
Spy.
Defender of the Crown.
To all of England, I’m Saxon Priest. Traitor. Murderer. Owner of London’s most infamous anti-
loyalist pub.
And then she appears.
Isla Quinn may claim that she’s only looking to buss tables, but I’m no fool. Bitterness bleeds
from her hard-blue eyes, and her hatred for the queen is so palpable, I can practically taste it off
every sharp-tongued word slipping from her full mouth.
“Hire me,” she begs.
We’re on opposite sides of this war. Enemies from the start.
Isla thought she found an ally, but she’s found me instead.

Savage.
Ruthless.
A man with no heart, no matter how the dead space inside my chest lurches whenever she’s near.
And so I lean over, dragging her deep into this twisted game of crowns and thrones, and offer a
single vow: “I could use you.”

Hold Me Today by Maria Luis

★☆★ BLURB ★☆★
𝑹𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒃𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒎 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝒔𝒐 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅.

At least, that’s what I tell myself when I bargain with the enemy and score a renovation for my hair salon.

The enemy? Nick Stamos, my best friend’s older brother.

He’s got a body and face the Greek gods would envy but his personality needs a major overhaul.

He’s surly. 
A rule-follower.
Did I mention he’s seen me 𝑛𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑑?

I may have crushed on him for years, but the only place I want Nick swinging his hammer nowadays is at my salon.

Except, he needs something in return. . .

𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝.

And I’m just reckless enough to say 𝑦𝑒𝑠.

BlueInk reviewed The Haunted and The Hunted and here it is:

The Haunted and the Hunted

Teresa Reitnauer

Xlibris, 113 pages, (paperback) $19.99, 9781524531324

(Reviewed: March, 2017)

Sparks fly when a relentlessly stalked author and a vet crippled by PTSD find shelter together in a secluded cabin in this well-plotted and engaging romantic suspense novel.

Writer Rachael finds her life upended when a mentally unbalanced book clerk begins pursuing her, starting with silent phone calls and flowers at her doorstep and then escalating into destructive acts. Elsewhere, Randall, a Marine discharged after a roadside bomb in Afghanistan wounds him physically and mentally, grapples with how to get a grip on life stateside.

Through a twist of fate, Rachael and Randall end up at the cabin together—she to escape the stalker and he to find himself while offering some protection for Rachael. As their attraction for one another grows, the stalker continues his pursuit, determined to claim ownership of the woman he considers his “soul mate.”

This fast-paced, carefully crafted book delivers deftly written dialogue. In addition, it successfully builds a strong plot around steamy, intimate sex scenes between its likable protagonists. However, while the details of Randall’s vulnerability make him richly alive, Rachael’s personality is somewhat flatter. Some standout quirks would help round out her character, as would the exhibition of more palpable fears of the stalker.

The stalker, developed through short “thought dialogue” paragraphs written in italics throughout, arises as a sinister and haunting figure. Still, this character could benefit from added traits that more deeply develop his personality and details that visually follow his secretive movements. His actions at the climax also could use more depth of intensity.

While a build-up of the above-mentioned details would enhance the story, overall, the novel’s strengths far override the limitations of some of its characterizations. This is an inventive and absorbing book, sure to please many fans of romantic suspense.

Also available in hardcover and ebook.

 

Happy New Year

I hope everyone has a safe New Year’s Eve. I took a hiatus from writing, but starting strong on the new year. I am finishing one book and in the middle of another. They belong to a 3 book series involving the Lewis Security Agency, that was introduced in my first book. Keep a check and I will let you know when the books are going to be released.

Happy New Year.
