"What a fabulous book! I read Texas Haven first and loved it, but reading Alice's Story whetted my appetite to reread Texas Haven. Alice is a piece of work. While she's not the nicest person, you feel sympathy for her considering her background. Burke is such a hunk, what a hot guy. Their relationship is steamy, drawing me in. I was rooting for them. Can't give away the ending, but I loved the writing, the depth of the characters, the great supporting characters and the way the plot. it kept me on the edge of my chair. I recommend this story highly. It will have you drooling for the next book, Texas Haven. I'm headed there now." -- Amazon reviewer

"Balloon Drops" - Match 3 game for Kindle Fire


Just released, this Match 3 game for Kindle Fire starts easily and then gradually increases difficulties as obstacles are added and level objectives become more challenging. It's available now for just $0.99.

As with other "Match 3" games, a tiled board appears in a variety of patterns, and you swap adjacent tiles to line up 3 or more of the same balloons in a row. Matches of 3 or more vertical or horizontal tiles disappear, and more tiles drop in from above.

The five modes of difficulty include a "relaxed" mode, which has no timer. The more difficult modes are time-limited and have higher point thresholds to meet before moving on to the next level. Within each mode are multiple levels of gameboard patterns. No less than 300 levels are provided, so this game will keep you entertained for a good long while.

And, to keep things interesting, there are obstacles and power-ups to deal with. Obstacles are party hats and cupcakes, which cannot be moved. Obstacles can be cleared if an adjacent balloon is cleared. Similarly, a netted balloon cannot be moved or swapped; the only way to remove them is by matching the balloon behind the net with two other balloons of the same kind.

This game also has a new feature: mystery items. These are colored gift boxes, and when they're matched with balloons of the same color, they're unboxed to reveal a power-up or an obstacle.

It's another well-designed game from Bullbitz. The levels are nicely graduated, so things don't get too difficult too soon. As you progress from one level to another, a scoreboard appears showing the points you earned for each preceding level. It's a smoothly-flowing, diverting game that's a pleasure to play.

MALICIOUS, by JAMES RAVEN. (Still 2.99?)

"Without a doubt this is one of the best murder suspense novels I've ever read. From the beginning I thought I had a read on who committed the murder and I was totally glued to the plight Detective Robyn Tate found herself in. And I thought, geez, what would I do in that situation and holy cow...let's cover up some webcams. But once you get your head wrapped around that aspect of the story, you realize that a murder hasn't been solved. It was clever sleight of hand by the writer, Mr. Raven! The book grabs you on so many levels; but at it's core, it's simply a fantastic and fulfilling murder mystery." -- Amazon reviewer

Turned (Book #1 in the Vampire Journals), by Morgan Rice. (Still free?)

"The story grabbed me right off the bat. I think because most of us can relate to the feeling of the nervousness of being the new kid in school. I liked the fact that Caitlyn didn't know anything about what she was, and that she was somewhat intimidated by her new school in NY. The love that she has for her brother Sam is evident and I know that she just wants to be happy. Getting kidnapped and then saved by Caleb feels like her saving grace, but is that real? What is going on with her life now and can she really be half vampire? Caleb believes in her, but I can't help but wonder if there is someone else that is a part of this story. And can't wait to find out. This is a great YA book." -- Amazon reviewer

TURNED is book #1 in the #1 Bestselling series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which includes ten books (and counting).

In TURNED (Book #1 of the Vampire Journals), 18 year old Caitlin Paine finds herself uprooted from her nice suburb and forced to attend a dangerous New York City high school when her Mom moves again. The one ray of light in her new surroundings is Jonah, a new classmate who takes an instant liking to her.

But before their romance can blossom, Caitlin suddenly finds herself changing. She is overcome by a superhuman strength, a sensitivity to light, a desire to feed--by feelings she does not understand. She seeks answers to what’s happening to her, and her cravings lead her to the wrong place at the wrong time. Her eyes are opened to a hidden world, right beneath her feet, thriving underground in New York City. She finds herself caught between two dangerous covens, right in the middle of a vampire war.

It is at this moment that Caitlin meets Caleb, a mysterious and powerful vampire who rescues her from the dark forces. He needs her to help lead him to the legendary lost artifact. And she needs him for answers, and for protection. Together, they will need to answer one crucial question: who was her real father?

But Caitlin finds herself caught between two men as something else arises between them: a forbidden love. A love between the races that will risk both of their lives, and will force them to decide whether to risk it all for each other…

Charred Heart (#1, Heart of Fire), by Lizzy Ford. (Still free?)

"Holy hotness batman, this is Lizzy's steamiest read yet. Lizzy amazes me with every book that she releases especially when she steps into a new genre/territory. I have never read a dragon shifter book before and Lizzy has made it to the point that I will be looking for them. Chace is smoking hot and Skylar is a witty sexy woman. These two have chemistry that will light up your reading device." -- Amazon reviewer

Modern day retelling of "Beauty and the Beast"

***Recommended for ages 18+ due to multiple, creative, detailed, steamy, sexy-time adult situations.***

For a thousand years, Chace has searched for a way to break the curse placed on him by a jilted lover. He’s a dragon shifter, one who can’t control when the magic will force him into a different form. He’s already lost everyone he ever cared about a few times over and doesn’t know how much longer he’s meant to suffer.

At his wit’s end, he makes a deal with a mysterious figure that offers him what he wants most – an end to his misery – in exchange for everything that’s his: His life, his power. His heart.

The next day, he meets Skylar, a modern day dragon slayer whose mission is to cage him – or kill him. Sexy, witty and brave, she is the yin to his yang, the woman destined to break the curse, balance his magic and make his broken heart whole.

Except it’s too late. Not only has he sealed his fate, but an innocent one-night-stand with Skylar has dragged her into the middle of a deal with the devil, one she won’t escape, if he can’t convince her that dragon shifters aren’t her enemies.
