“I knew what everyone would think if they knew the truth about my marriage. They’d be shocked and appalled. And rightly so. I was a young, modern, independent woman, and I’d done the unthinkable. I’d sold my virginity to a spoiled, rich boy. To a stranger who didn’t love me. And yes, I’d done it all for money…”

While you’re here, don’t forget to check out these:

About book #1:

Natalie Bishop was just supposed to be a one night stand. Until she steps out of the ocean at my summer home in the Hamptons completely naked.

The minute I see her, I know I can’t walk away.She claims that she’s just here to watch the house while it undergoes renovations.

That she has no interest in rekindling our fire. But every weighted glance says it’s a lie. I don’t care that I’m Manhattan royalty and she’s the help.

Only that she’s living in my summer home. With me.

Monday Early Bird Book Releases + some that are going live at midnight! 04-22-19

By 29 Comments

Happy Monday everyone!! It’s time for the Monday EarlyBirds, and while it’s not a huge list today, I will keep an eye out for more to add as the day progresses. 😀

<—- P.S. Look what just went LIVE yesterday and is rocking the Amazon charts!! Pieces of Us by A.L. Jackson is already #27 on all of Amazon Kindle.

Three things:

1.) I had a wonderful long weekend! A fun birthday celebration on Saturday for two friends, and Easter gathering and a wonderful supper on Sunday. For the birthday event, we went to Texas de Brazil (I LOVE that place) and feasted on the most amazing meats ever. But that “salad bar” along is beyond fantastic. They call it a salad bar, but it’s got so much more than salads. Smoked salmon, and blocks of cheese, and deli meats, sushi, and every kind of yummy thing to make the best buffet plate. My favorite thing on that table is their “Tabbouleh“. I haven’t found a better version of that salad yet.

2.) During the Easter supper wind-down, we watched the first “John Wick” and OMG I LOVED IT!!! I have no idea why I haven’t watched these yet, but since #3 is coming out soon, I’m going to catch up. It’s a fantastic, thrilling, heartbreaking movie and so intense. Plus… Keanu Reeves. <3 😉

3.) I just ordered and received two of these plant stands for my deck area, and will be loading it up for the spring with herbs, and pretty flowers and tomato plants and whatever I can fit on them. They were SO easy to put together (directions are there but it’s self-explanatory… just pieces that fit in place together), really solid-feeling, and I can’t wait for my mini “porch garden” to get in full gear!! I LOVE SPRING!!! 😀

➔➔➔ Kindle Unlimited Membership super-bargain deal!!!! eek <— Hey guess what??!! The Kindle Unlimited Membership deal is still on!!!

LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE :D !!!

  1. Pieces of Us by A.L. Jackson <— LIVE!!! HE BROKE UP WITH HER… “…When he broke up with me, I ran across the country and swore I’d never return to Broadshire Rim. But here I am, thirteen years later. Maxon is all grown up. Sexier than sin and more tempting than ever. A detective on the Charleston force, he lives on the outside of safety, devoted to protecting the people of his city. But with the way he’s looking at me now? I’m pretty sure what needs protecting is my heart...”
  2. The Austen Playbook (London Celebrities 4) by Lucy Parker <— LUCY PARKER’S LATEST IS LIVE!! “…she should be focusing on her lines for The Austen Playbook, a live-action TV event where viewers choose the outcome of each scene, but her concentration’s been blown. The palatial estate housing the endeavor is now run by the rude (brilliant) critic who’s consistently slammed her performances of late. James “Griff” Ford-Griffin has a penchant for sarcasm, a majestic nose and all the sensitivity of a sledgehammer. She can’t take her eyes off him…“

In the tempest of their lives, treacherous waves crash against the shore, bringing threats and dangers that make them hold onto one another in desperation. But there is something dark lurking in the storm. Something sinister threatens to tear them apart...”

Fortunately, you can find your true self in the oddest places. Of course, you can lose yourself in those places, too–at least some pieces of you. Since I was back home with a new leg, some facial alterations, and time on my hands, I might as well help out my sister…”

Catherine Cowles – Sutter Lake Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

A new-to-me series (that one of my favorite authors – Devney Perry – is loving) and I HAD to investigate!! This one sounds heartwarming and right up our emotional alley! Rugged cops, and the women starting over in a new place… YES PLEASE!! AND!! Book #2 is up for preorder. 😀

The author says:

They are standalones, but interconnected, so I always recommend reading in order to not be spoiled, but you could pick any book up and not be confused at all!

About book #1:

A woman who’s lost everything. Taylor is looking for peace and quiet away from the memories of all she’s lost. A small mountain town where no one knows her seems like the perfect escape.

A man battling the ghosts of his past.  Walker loves his life just the way it is. His town, his family, his brothers in blue. Everything simple and easy–until a chance encounter changes it all.

When Taylor’s solitude is interrupted by the rugged cop, they find that the very thing they were avoiding might be just what they both need. As their iron wills clash and passion flares…a killer lurks.

And you never know who might be caught in the crosshairs.

Victoria Bright – Foodie in Love Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

<— OMG I LOVE THE PREMISE of this series and book #2 JUST WENT LIVE, and book #1 is super-bargain priced right now!!!! I’m a “foodie” for sure, and when  the author (today’s newsletter sponsor) approached me about her latest release, I got excited!!

Victoria: It’s my Foodie in Love series, which is a new series for me about 6 brothers having to stop their wild, playboy ways and settle down in order to inherit their respective parts of their father’s corporation.

Maryse: Oh I LOVE “Foodies”!!! Very cool. I’m so excited about this one (I’m absolutely addicted to the Food Network, it plays all day long at my house). I love the cool gourmet food trucks the most.

Victoria: OMG FINALLY! Someone gets it! I LOVE cooking shows and am absolutely obsessed with Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen right now and other competitive cooking shows. Each brother works in different sectors of the food and drink corporation their father created— vintner, chef, baker, bartender, caterer—except Vincent (he’s a food critic).

Maryse: I LOVE the sound of this! I’m a huge fan of Rachel Higginson’s foodie series, so this is right up my alley!

About book #1:

My father gave me three months.
Three months to hang up my bachelor ways and settle down.

My life revolves around the vineyard, partying, and beautiful women, all of which that has me in hot water with the company’s investors. After one too many scandals, my father gave my brothers and I an ultimatum—either settle down to portray the family image he built Young Enterprises on or we can forget about inheriting it.

I don’t do relationships. Not since having my heart broken in Nice 17 years ago by Eleanor, the sassy French beauty that I still can’t get over.

With Eleanor in California for a wedding, this is the perfect opportunity to rekindle an old flame that never burned out. Except she’s brought a surprise with her.

A 16-year-old daughter.

My daughter.

I have two weeks to win over Eleanor and my daughter before they return back to France. If I fail, not only will I lose my chance to inherit my father’s vineyard, but a second chance with my new family.
