Rating: 5 Cups

Madison Leigh is a beauty, inside and out. She works hard at law school and has a date that she sees is going nowhere. Her new interest is in an envelope they stumbled upon the last day they dated. It seems to offer more mental stimulation than Jeremy, her soon to be ex-date. What she has stumbled upon is a famous case that is not yet solved. She does not expect to be watched for most of the time at a crime scene by an FBI Agent who might have more than a curiosity about her.

FBI Agent Court Braxton is very happy he has gotten to see the sunny side of a beauty who is taking a walk with some guy around Chapel Hill, as he is working on an investigation. He is not comfortable seeing her tampering with possible evidence for his crime scene. He does not mind following the woman who instantly interested him. He decides to see what she plans to do with the evidence she has taken from the residence of a lady who was hung by rope at her home.

Madison is intrigued when she comes face to face with Court. She has just gotten rid of Jeremy and expects him to be at the door. She tries to prepare herself for the worst, but there is a nice surprise on the other end. There is an instant spark and chemistry between these two that have Madison questioning if this guy even notices her. She does not expect to see him again, but she thought he would fall for the lies she gave when she decided to take the envelope she found addressed to someone at a house she stopped at to get out of the rain. Has she run into a storm? She wants answers. The FBI is calling her in to see her face-to-face. They are not happy with her intruding on their territory. And she may need to get her silly fantasies about Court out of her mind as she is possibly headed for trouble.

What a swing of events. This novel is more upbeat than most mystery novels. Madison is very feisty and caring, yet positive. She is a dreamer, yet she knows how to get facts straight. She does not need a team of people to find answers and after the FBI meeting, she even surprises Court. The subtlety of a glimmer of hope is very refreshing to read as Madison starts encountering feelings she likes in a man. This is a great contrast to what she and Jeremy had going on. Madison’s family adds the right balance to the story as well as all the coworkers in the novel. This story is sweet, dangerous, subtle, yet to the point. The plot thickens as times goes by, and I like it because it is something clean, conservative, and with morals that can be read with hope. You end it with a smile. This book gets 5 Cups for being original and having class!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you`re having a wonderful holiday season! Have you watched any holiday movies you love? I`m obsessed with The Holiday so will definitely be doing a rewatch of that!

In the meantime, I`ve been hard at work on the Wolves of Crescent Creek books and I am IN LOVE!!! I also just got the covers back for the series and I just have to say...PREPARE YOURSELVES! I am so obsessed with them and hoping to show you in the new year with fun updates on that front!

For now, I`ve got an audio sale and a super fun giveaway for you!!

I’d always wondered what it would be like to have a family. I just never expected to find it with five mysterious strangers who have more secrets than I could ever imagine.

Getting a scholarship to Evergreen University and majoring in premed means I need to keep my head down and focus on my studies. But campus is full of distractions…

The football god with his golden retriever charm. The tortured one with his vicious tongue. The broken boy with his determined protectiveness. The merciless billionaire with a penchant for spoiling me. And the genius professor with his brilliant mind.

They make me feel like I belong for the first time since my parents were murdered. And when they touch me, my whole world sparks to flame.

But they have enemies. Those who would give anything to harm what they hold dear. And while they’ll do whatever it takes to keep me safe, sometimes falling in love will put you right in the line of fire…

Grab the audio for $5.99 for Audible Plus Members!

A Bear Ski Instructor Christmas: An Amnesia Lost Love Romance (Holiday Shifters of Frost Mountain)Being a fashion model can really take you places…
Like a snow-covered mountain in the middle of nowhere—literally.

Frost Mountain isn’t your average ski resort.
The last place I expected to spend my Christmas was in a magical prison…
But here I am.

At least I’m not alone.
There are other people trapped on this mountain with me.
And one of them is my ex-boyfriend…
The one who went missing years ago.
I thought I’d lost him, but he’s been alive this whole time.
This sizzling bear shifter is a ski instructor now…and guess what?
He doesn’t even remember who I am.

Amnesia sucks, period.
But it’s even worse when you’re still in love with them.
I need him to remember me.
And I’ll do everything in my power to make sure he does.

It’s about to be one hell of a Christmas.https://coffeetimeromance.com/a-bear-ski-instructor-christmas-an-amnesia-lost-love-romance-holiday-shifters-of-frost-mountain/?fsp_sid=198

St. Nicked by Damon SuedeSt. Nicked: There`s no gift like the present.

Holidays this fun can’t be legal. When a cat burglar dressed as Santa targets a glitzy Manhattan high-rise, the holidays get unhinged.

As superintendent, Mark Almeida needs to keep the residents safe, and as a former NYPD cop, he knows he can crack the case without any help… until he meets a suave stranger too handsome for his own good who pushes buttons Mark didn’t know he had.

As the holly-jolly crime spree unfolds, Mark wrestles with duty and desire while juggling festive clues, lavish gifts, and stolen kisses in time for a truly crooked Christmas.

St. Nicked, the newest contemporary romance from Damon Suede, combines the tension of a mystery with feel-good romance in a way only Damon can deliver.

Meet the Author

Damon Suede… between soft and rough

Damon Suede grew up out-n-proud deep in the anus of right-wing America, and escaped as soon as it was legal. He has lived all over: Houston, New York, London, Prague. Along the way, he’s earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director... but writing has ever been his bread and butter. He has been happily partnered for over a decade with the most loving, handsome, shrewd, hilarious, noble man to walk this planet.

Addictions: sweetness that isn’t sentimental, wit that isn’t bitter, strength that isn’t cruel. Allergies: professional victims, half-assery, clichés.

Beyond romance fiction, Damon has been writing for print, stage, and screen for over three decades, which is both more and less glamorous than you might imagine. He`s won some awards, but his blessings are more numerous: his amazing friends, his demented family, his beautiful husband, his loyal fans, and his silly, stern, seductive Muse who keeps whispering in his ear, year after year.

The Ramseys by Amber Daulton - in Time Complete Box Set NOW AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER!

The Ramseys in Time box set features spunky heroines, brooding heroes, and a trip through time. Each of the two novellas included have a 50k word count, making this box set top off at 100k.

In Timeless Honor, Jaye Ramsey goes on vacation with her friends to Bolivia in order to prove to her eccentric grandmother that time travel doesn`t exist. There she finds a time portal in the Salar de Uyuni (the salt flats) and winds up in Georgian England. Never did she expect to fall in love with a man from her grandmother`s past, Lord Lucas Kenway, who was accused of murdering his wife on their wedding night.

In Timeless Beginnings, Leonora Harris flees her newly wedded husband`s home and loses her way in the woods. After she falls through a portal, she wakes up in 1960s Bolivia. Luckily for her, she meets undercover CIA agent Rodger Ramsey and embraces her new life as a modern woman.

Even though these novellas are standalones, it`s best to read them together, in any order, because you`ll be able to fully immerse yourself in this fictional world of magic portals, culture shock, and happily ever afters. And besides, who can get enough of time travel romance? Not me, that`s for sure.

For the first time ever, the Ramsey in Time Complete Box Set is now AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER.

Down at the Shore by Karen Cino

An Author’s Twelve Days of Christmas

With the holiday season upon us, it is our time to reflect on the year gone by and start getting together a list of resolutions for the New Year. This is one of my comic relief poems. I refer to it as my quick pick-me-upper when my muse comes to a halt. This is my version of The Twelve Days of Christmas.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my friends gave to me:

Twelve hours of nonstop writing,
Eleven great plots ideas with a twist,
Ten true to life characters,
Nine boxes of tissues,
Eight books on writing,
Seven sites on marketing,
Six unique promo tips,
Five colored highlighters,
Four packages of post it notes,
Three colorful loose-leaf binders,
Two boxes of colorful paperclips,
And a bottle of Procesecco to stimulate my mind.

To all my writer friends and readers I`d like to wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season full of love and happiness! I`m sharing with you my Christmas tree and decorations.

If you stop by and leave a comment, you will be put in a drawing to receive an ebook of your choice: Roses or Seaside Reboot (Jersey Route 35 Cozy Mystery). All you need to do is tell me your favorite Christmas/Holiday treat and/or what you want Santa to bring! Good luck!
Down at the Shore
Brooke Dascoli is in a relationship that’s going nowhere. She moves into the beach house her grandmother left her at the Jersey Shore and forms a friendship with her neighbors, Flo Meadows and Jane Cummings. Flo carries around a huge secret that has haunted her since her first marriage and Jane is having a hard time dealing with a cheating husband who died shortly after their divorce. Together each woman shares their past indiscretions and future dreams, while dealing with loss, renewal and starting over.

My Fake Italian Marriage by Romy Sommer
Escape to Italy for a summer romance
As the nights draw in and winter approaches, you may be indulging in hot cocoa, woolly sweaters, and Hallmark holiday movies...or you might be indulging in dreams of summery destinations and strappy sundresses. I`m definitely in the latter camp. I don`t do well with the cold, so I hibernate all winter, warming myself up by escaping to warmer climes in the pages of books. One of my favorite destinations, no matter the season, is Italy - the home of pizza, pasta, gelato, and amazing wines. (And yes, I am a tad obsessed with the taste of Italy!)

Enjoy your own escape to Italy with "My Fake Italian Marriage," a romance filled with sunshine, mouth-watering food and wine, and (of course!) a heart-warming fake marriage romance.

In the words of The Unrepentant Bookaholic: "Set in the beautiful Tuscan hills and vineyards, this story was delightful, sweetly steamy, and still romantic. Sworn off men after two failed relationships, Cleo is sent to Luca`s family vineyard to protect her company`s investment. Sparks fly, and a reluctant partnership is formed to keep the failing business alive. Fabulous!"

Interview with Lucy Felthousehttps://bit.ly/4fJavT3Welcome, today we are talking with Lucy Felthouse! I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy writing schedule to answer a few questions. First, let`s delve into who you are. Some of the questions may be untraditional but you’d be surprised at what readers connect to, and sometimes the simplest ‘I can relate to that’ grabs their interest where nothing else can.

Can you share a little something about Lucy Felthouse that’s not mentioned in your bio on your website?

I try to counteract my love of chocolate by spending lots of time walking in the countryside, going to Zumba once a week and doing Yoga at home.

How long have you been writing?

Since I was a child. I was a huge reader from a young age, and loved adventure stories, so anything by Enid Blyton, that kind of thing. I would spend hours making up my own stories and scribbling into notebooks. I wish I still had them now—I’m intrigued as to whether any of it was any good!

In terms of writing for publication, it’s getting on for twenty years now, since I was at university.

What have you found most challenging about it?

That when you write in certain genres, i.e. romance, and particularly steamy romance, you will often find people look down on you and what you write. There are certain places where writers of other genres will be welcomed, but you won’t. I’ve learnt to live with it, and don’t try to insert myself where “my face doesn’t fit”, but I do find it quite annoying at times. In a lot of ways, we still live in a very narrow minded world.

What does writing do for you? Is it fun, cathartic, do you get emotional?

All of the above! I’ve made myself laugh writing, I’ve made myself cry writing. I take it as a good sign, to be honest. As the writer, I know what’s going to happen, so if I still get emotional about it, then surely that means I’m doing something right!

Describe what your writing routine looks like. Are you disciplined with a strict schedule or do you have to be in the mood?

I don’t have a routine. I don’t write full time, and I don’t always have a book or story on the go. So it all depends. When I am writing a book, I t...
