We Are One

What can I do?
Haven't we all asked that question?
What can I do to help these people in need as fire destroys our beautiful country?

Leave Me Breathless: Black Rose Collection


THE BLACK ROSE COLLECTION
The darker side of Leave Me Breathless...

When the daylight fades and time stands still.
The feeling of flying from just one touch.
Moving slowly, kissing softly.
The flash of fever, becoming lost in the flames.
Surrendering. Going under.
These are the moments that leave us breathless.


Introducing a brand-new collection of romance books by independently published and USA Today bestselling authors whose words will leave you breathless!

The Black Rose symbolizes rejuvenation or rebirth, but it can also symbolize death and farewell. The collection will feature brand new stand-alone books from Patricia Eddy, Dakota Willink, Elizabeth Knox, Sierra Hill, Sienna Snow, Sonya Jesus, Cayce Poponea, Pepper North, Crimson Syn, Jo-Anne Joseph and Sin Silverfall.

$0.99 FOR A LIMITED TIME!

INCLUDED IN THIS COLLECTION:

The Sound of Silence by Dakota Willink (Dark Romantic Suspense)
There’s a common expression I remind myself of every day: that which does not kill us, makes us stronger. People think I live an idyllic life with my perfect husband, but they don’t know what lies beneath the façade. I’ve learned to accept what is, but I won’t let it destroy me. Instead, I do the only thing I can to survive—I run.

Forbidden Love by Elizabeth Knox (Irish Mafia Dark Romance)
Caprice DiGiovanni has made the decision to run from her father, who runs the Italian Mafia. He's arranged for her to marry a Russian arms dealer. Only, she's not going to. She's running to the only place where she feels that she can be safe - Ireland, straight into the territory of the Mackenzies.

Master of Control by Sienna Snow (Dark Romantic Suspense)
I'm a prize, a treasure, something to cherish. Or so I've been told.
But I know the truth. I'm a commodity recently sold to the highest bidder.
Sebastian Weber is ruthless, heartless, calculating, and my new husband. Power is the weapon he wields and control is his game. I should fear him, resent him, but instead I'm drawn to him, craving his slightest touch, wanting every part of him. Leaving him isn't an option, and staying means shattering his world.

Crimson Dahlia by Patricia D. Eddy, Amazon Top 100 Bestselling Author (Dark BDSM Romantic Suspense)
His failure cost a good man his life. Now, years later, he has one chance at redemption. Kidnap the man’s daughter.

The Bullet Theory by Sonya Jesus (Dark Romantic Suspense)
There’s a theory about a bullet and a tortured heart: when both exist, the only variable is opportunity­, which The Bullet Man willingly provides. The killer carefully chooses Ellie, the survivor of a vicious crime, and manipulates his way into her heart. When he gives her a chance at revenge, will she take the shot or turn him in?

Marked by Cayce Poponea (Mafia Romantic Suspense)
Doing the right thing should never leave a scar...
MARKED is the latest Mafia romance from bestselling author Cayce Poponea. Join her as she shares the story of Giovanni Vitale and Kristine Smith, two people from dramatically different backgrounds whose lives become woven together through deception and lies. Can Kristine follow the three simple rules for working in the Family? What happens when her loyalty is questioned by the one she trusts the most?

Dare Dark by Pepper North, Amazon Bestselling Erotic Romance Author (Dark BDSM Romance)
Are there some dreams that should never come true? Some fantasies that should never be pursued?

Precious Gems by Sierra Hill (Dark Romance)
She has what he wants, but in order to give it to him, she'll pay the ultimate price.

Dark Desires by Jo-Anne Joseph (Dark Psychological Romance)
Many know me, yet none have seen my face.
I’m the topic of conversation, but nobody knows my name. 
I am a life thief.
A soul destroyer. 
An invisible plague. 
And still, you want to know me.
My darkness reminds you of the desires that lurk inside you.

Insidious Love by Crimson Syn (Dark Romantic Suspense)
When Rose Blackthorne witnesses a heinous murder, her only choice is to run. But the events of one night force her into the arms of a stranger. Jake Cavanaugh has been hired to find Rose and keep her quiet, even if it means having to dispose of her dead body. Rose’s only hope is a stranger who has a dark secret, and there’s no escaping him without being consumed by his darkness. Jake’s rules are simple, get the job done and never get too close. But what happens when his obsession for this woman blemishes his plans?

Mia by Sin Silverfall
Venezuelan drug lord, Dantes Belisario, is no stranger to high-risk rewards.  Running drugs and weapons is just another day’s work. But Mia Bernard is a prize that’s not only out his league, but she’s also off-limits. She’s gorgeous and vulnerable, and just so happens to be the city Sheriff’s daughter.  Just the kind of trouble he doesn’t need.
Mia has always been the good girl in her family, but she has crappy taste in men.  When she meets Dantes, she knows he’s the sort of man her father warned her about, but it only makes her want him more. When their worlds collide, passion and danger follow.  Playing it safe is no longer an option.

Review: Southern Ghost Hunter Series: 5th Anniversary Special Edition: Stories 1-3 by Angie Fox












New York Times bestseller Angie Fox celebrates 5 years of the Southern Ghost Hunter series with a limited edition that includes the first three stories in the series, along with never-before-seen additional content, featuring deleted scenes, original art, an inside look at the characters, and a behind-the-scenes peek at how the series came together.

Get it before it’s gone!

Southern Spirits
When out of work graphic designer Verity Long accidentally traps a ghost on her property, she’s saddled with more than a supernatural sidekick—she gains the ability see spirits. It leads to an offer she can’t refuse from the town’s bad boy, the brother of her ex and the last man she should ever partner with.

A Ghostly Gift
Verity Long doesn't want to see ghosts, and she'd rather not let anyone know her little secret, either. But when a restless spirit stirs up trouble in her friend's resale shop, Verity and her very new, very dead gangster friend team up to learn what is really happening.

The Skeleton in the Closet
A haunted library is no place for a girl who can see ghosts, but when Verity Long stumbles on a dead body in the middle of the main reading room, she has to believe someone…even a dead someone…must have witnessed the crime.


*This edition contains never-before-seen material and will be available for a limited time

This is such a great series, so glad to have this anniversary edition.  Deleted scenes are awesome, and loved more of the background information.
My review of Southern Spirits (book 1):  I really loved this story!! 
This is more than just a ghost story, or ghost hunting!

This has ghost stories, a little bit of romance, sisterly bond, a pet skunk and and lots of humor.
To be honest, it could get a little spooky. But definitely a great change of pace for me. This got me out of my reading funk for sure!

My review of Ghostly Gift:  A quick story to fill in the gap between books.
A very quick read, but still good.
None of the big mystery and suspense that is in the full length books of this series. Not much of the comedy we normally get either.
Still recommend if you love the series.

My review of Skeleton in the Closet (book 2):  I loved this one just as much as the first book. However I think this one was way more of a mystery than book one.
Frankie (the German) is still stuck at Verity's house and he is still funny.
Verity just keeps finding herself in sticky situations, which make for a great book.
Has: mystery, humor, of course lots of ghosts and a little bit of romance

Almost Just Friends by Jill Shalvis


Paperback384 pages
Expected publication: January 21st 2020 by William Morrow Paperbacks


ABOUT ALMOST JUST FRIENDS (a standalone Wildstone novel)
Piper Manning’s about as tough as they come, she’s had to be. She raised her siblings and they’ve thankfully flown the coop. All she has to do is finish fixing up the lake house her grandparents left her, sell it, and then she’s free.

When a massive storm hits, she runs into a tall, dark and brooding stranger, Camden Reid. There’s a spark there, one that shocks her. Surprising her further, her sister and brother return, each of them holding their own secrets. The smart move would be for Piper to ignore them all but Cam unleashes emotions deep inside of her that she can’t deny, making her yearn for something she doesn’t understand. And her siblings…well, they need each other.

Only when the secrets come out, it changes everything Piper thinks she knows about her family, herself…and Cam. Can she find a way to outrun the demons? The answer is closer than she thinks—just as the new life she craves may have already begun.

BUY LINKS for ALMOST JUST FRIENDS:


“I was very clear,” she said when the alcohol burn cleared her throat, eyeing the whole group, most of whom were also first responders and worked with her at the station or hospital in one form or another. “We weren’t going to mention my birthday, much less sing to me about it. Twice.”
Not a single one of them looked guilty. “To Piper,” Ryland said, and everyone raised a glass. “For gathering and keeping all us misfits together and sane.”
“To Piper,” everyone cheered, then, thankfully, conversations started up all around her so that she was finally no longer the center of attention. Everyone was well versed in her ways, which meant they got that while she was touched that they cared, she didn’t want any more attention. Easily accepting that, they were happy to enjoy the night and leave her alone.
“So, did that hurt?” Jenna asked, amused.
“What?”
“Being loved?”
In tune to the sounds of the bar around them—someone singing off-key to “Sweet Home Alabama,” rambunctious laughter from a nearby table, the clink of pool balls—Piper rolled her eyes.
“You know one day those eyeballs are going to fall right out of your head, right?”
Ignoring this, Piper went back to what she’d been doing before being so rudely interrupted by all the love. Making a list. She was big on bullet journaling. She’d had to be. Making notes and lists had saved her life more than once. And yes, she knew she could do it all on a notes app on her phone instead, but her brain wasn’t wired that way. Nope, she had to do everything the hard way and write that shit down by hand like in the Dark Ages. She flipped through some of her pages: Calendars, Grocery Lists, Future Baby Names (even though she didn’t plan on having babies), Passwords (okay, password, singular, since she always used the same one—CookiesAreLife123!).
And then there were some random entries:
Life Rules
• Occasionally maybe make an effort to look nice.
• Don’t cut your own bangs no matter how sad you are.
• Never ever, EVER, under any circumstances fall in love.
She also had a bucket list of wishes. Oh, and a secret secret bucket list of wishes . . .
Yeah, she clearly needed help. Or a little pill.
“New journal?” Jenna asked.
“Maybe.” Piper’s vices were simple. Basically, she was an office supply ho—a never-ending source of amusement to Jenna, because Piper was also a bit of a hot mess when it came to organization and neatness. Her purse, her car, her office, and also her kitchen always looked like a a disaster had just hit. But her journals . . . those were pristine.
“How many journals have you started and either lost or misplaced since I’ve known you—a million?”
Piper didn’t answer this on the grounds that she might incriminate herself.
Jenna pulled out the pack of stickers that were tucked into the journal. They were cute little thought bubbles with reminders like doc appointment, empty dishwasher, and caffeinate.
“I feel like stickers are cheating,” Jenna said.
“Bite your tongue, woman. Stickers are everything.” So were pens. And cute paper clips. And sticky notes . . .
“Come on. There’re far more important things than stickers.”
“Like?” Piper asked.
“Like food.”
“Okay, you’ve got me there.”
“And sex,” Jenna said. “And that should go above food, actually.”
“I’m going to take your word on that since it’s been a while.”
“Well, whose fault is that?” Jenna leaned in, trying to get a peek. “What’s today’s entry?”
“A list for figuring out what’s next on fixing up the property.” Piper and her siblings had inherited from their grandparents a house and some cottages on Rainbow Lake. “It still needs a lot of work. I’m in way over my head.”
“I know.” Jenna’s smile faded. “I hate that you’re going to sell and move away from Wildstone.”
Wildstone, California, was Piper’s hometown. Sort of. She’d moved here at age thirteen with her two younger siblings, Gavin and Winnie, to be raised by their grandparents. But in the end, Piper had done all the raising. It’d taken forever, but now, finally, her brother and sister were off living their own lives.
And hers could finally start.
