I’m reading Sandra Hill’s Vampire in Paradise. Her new book in the Deadly Angels series. I would definitely recommend this book and the series. It has the HEA that a good romance needs and has the added bonus of humor. I’m always stalking Sandra’s website so I know when the next one comes out. The prizes for the giveaway sound great. Thank you for the chance to win.
Jennifer Taylor

I recently finished reading C.A. Tibbitts – Healing A Shifter Book 2 of the Pepper Valley Shifters series. The two books were sweet, funny, somewhat steamy and I love reading both books. She has another coming out soon but that’s all I can say about that although I’m getting ready to read and review it.

You asked: What are you currently reading and would you recommend it?
I’m currently reading The Bride Thief by Jennie Lucas. It’s a print copy book that I found that I had. So far it’s holding my attention. The storyline is what hooked me. A bride, a kidnapping, a mystery and unexpected attractions.. Right up my alley so far. On that alone I recommend the book.
Thanks for the opportunity!

When I read Archer’s Voice, I was blown away but I also didn’t do jumping jacks because it was my first book by Mia. Well, time to jump hoops, clap my hands and stomp my feet!
I cannot say this enough …. EVERY character in this woman’s stories is unbelievably real! You WILL relate and you WILL feel!
LOVE HER!
