I absolutely LOVE this author and can’t wait to jump into her latest release!!! Keep Her Safe: A Novel sounds right up my alley (it’s a psych-thriller!!!!). After all, K.A. Tucker is known for her incredible writing, thrilling story-telling, and of course… romance. 🙂
Kami Garcia says it’s “sexy, dark, and unnerving,” and Kirkus Reviews says that “no one is above suspicion in this taut, sizzling romantic mystery.”
I backtracked through her posts and found an interesting personal “behind-the-scenes” tidbit about this one!
Did you know this story gave her quite the struggle? She says:

Book Review – Worth It by S.M. Shade and C.M. Owens
Worth It
<— LOL!!!! CUUUUUTE!!!! !!!! Totally cute, but trust me, there’s nothing “sweet” about this story. It’s a laugh-out-loud (lots of LOL’ing) with a large side of “crude and obnoxious” (yet funny) behavior.
In fact, *ahem* while it’s not sweet at all, the overall feel I had when I hit then end (and read the additional short story at the very very end) had me giggling, left me with a huge grin on my face and thinking… “CUTE!!!!!”
Book Review – Dear Aaron by Mariana Zapata
Dear Aaron
Sweet and slow and serene. Another love story from the QUEEN of slow-burn romance and everything in between! I simply can’t get enough of her!
This one had me SO excited. I loved the premise. She was a pen pal for a military hero that was still on duty, and they corresponded every chance he had. Each letter, each moment, each event, detailed as they got to know each other. I was ELATED in what I was about to embark upon. That sweet-slow burn of two characters falling in love through writing without ever seeing each other. Long distance friendship, love… devotion and fear of the unknown. I KNOW this is possible and real.
