Police are summoned, and a punishing judge sentences her to six months of home confinement. With Jane now jobless and rootless, trapped at home, life looks bleak. Yes, her twin sister provides support and advice, but mostly of the unwelcome kind.

On his very first play, a violent helmet-to-helmet collision knocked him off the field forever, and left him with an improbable side effect--he can forget nothing.

Madame Clairevoyant's Guide to the Stars by Claire Comstock-Gay

This is a fun and informative way to look at the stars... pun intended, but also, so much more. Madame Clairevoyant's Guide to the Stars is a great stocking stuffer for friends who like to dig deeper and be more open to the universe around us.  ~Tanja From the Cover...

Smoke and Steel by Kristen Ashley

Releases Dec 6th ~ Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/3fLLOLZ Hellen and Core are the most unexpected coupling, but all it took was one whistle at Fortnum’s and not only did he have Hellen, he had me as well. I love a good male character with a backstory of redemption I mean… it’s pretty much everything his MC club is about. Kristen Ashley has this beautiful way of merging the hard and soft to form this perfect amalgam. I mean, I guess that’s what the title is all about. Smoke and steel. Something soft and billowy up against something robustly hard and unmovable. A juxtaposition of opposites that make perfection. I am a forever fan of Kristen Ashley, and how she creates beautiful characters that are aged and learned as well as continuing to grow. It’s an art and KA does it so incredibly well. I love that her characters are family inside and outside of the current series. There are these wonderful Easter eggs in every book she writes. Giving her diehard fans glimpses of past stories. It’s

A Hard Day for a Hangover Darynda Jones

Releases December 6th ~ Get it on Amazon https://amzn.to/3ySXS4h Please don’t tell me it’s over. It can’t be over. There are so many ways the series could go on! Especially when it comes to the beautiful Auri. As always, Darynda Jones delivers an incredibly thoughtful, funny, suspenseful read. Her ability to create a colorful grouping of people all mixed together makes Jones a force in the genre. I’m going to miss Sunshine Vicram, but the love between her and Levi will have me blushing every time I think about, A Hard Day For A Hangover. I’ve said this before and I’ll repeat it, reading books by Darynda Jones is like coming home. I know I’m gonna get love, laughter, sweetness, and suspense, as well as good, kind people in her characters. I want movies, I want TV shows, I want all the things!! Thank you so much for another amazing series, Mrs. Jones. ~Tanja From the Cover... A Hard Day for a Hangover is another humorous installment in Darynda Jones's wine mystery series deemed: &qu
