BLURB How do you begin to live when an unbearable tragedy only allows you to exist? You become me. A construct of perfect lines and shields built to protect the heart, allowing only short gasps of air and small rays of sunlight, to endure the pain. My life was left in ruins when I lost everyone I loved. I forfeited everything I once was to keep their memories protected from everyone else. To survive, I pushed it down, kept it locked away, desperate to forget the truth. Then he showed up, willing and daring me to feel again, to raise me from the ashes of despair. It was a mistake to let myself believe I was ready, because now, through the fissures in my armor, she is trying to return and take it all back by force. Eventually, all secrets are bound to unravel revealing terrible things about the past. Can I, survive the gale of sorrow, after I let them in again?

Book Review: Forbidden Hybrid by T.J. Spade & Montana Ash

My Review:

This is my first story by both authors and it won't be my last. I hope they do another co-write sometime.

3 First Responders. 3 hot men. Best friends living together. A human, A werewolf and a Vampire all feel a connection to a dead girl. 

Maeve O’Neill is a cyber security expert and a bit of a reclusive human, but her Bff Violet, is the complete opposite, party girl kind of Vampire. One evening after a night at a club with Violet, Maeve is brutally attacked and murdered. She wakes up in three guy's appartment with both a vampire bite and werewolf scratches and no memory of it happening. 

Can’t wait for more from Maeve, Bishop, Gabe and Lucien.

Book Review: On The Edge by Dr Rebecca Sharp

My Review:

It is the second book in the “Winter Games” Series and can be read as a standalone but do yourself a favor and start at the beginning with book one 'Up in The Air' to get the whole devastating experience. The plotlines overlap a little bit, so you will get certain scenes that you already know from the first book but from a different POV.

Emmett is the typical troubled bad boy and your typical sexy, alpha guy with his asshole ways and seemingly uncaring attitude, but just under that is so much more. At the beginning he's just cocky and really likes to push Ally's buttons.

Ally's life got turned upside down quite a lot. So it's no wonder that she struggles with life, love and trust. Because every time things seem to go smooth, she has to deal with loss. Either permanent or uncertain. But she's strong, stronger than she gives herself credit for. And along the way she falls for Emmett, she finds her inner strength.

I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in this series. Is it December already?

Book Review: Fatal Desires by Theresa Hissong

My Review:

I'm a sucker for a rock star romance, especially when they're done well. I went to bed and read the whole thing in about 3 hours before going to sleep.

These are basically good guys that play music. They aren't partying twenty four seven. They take their careers seriously. There is also a family vibe about them. There were definitely moments that had me crying, based on what what happening to the characters or how they were feeling about things that had happened or things that they'd done.

Coraline has been on the road with her cousin's band since she was eighteen. She loves taking care of the guys in Glory Days. Not only is she a roadie, she is also their tour manager. She keeps them in line and knowing where they need to be at all times. Having done this for a bit, she has one rule. Don't mix business with personal. Until her cousin's band toured with Fatal Cross.

Taylor Vaughn was taken with Coraline from the get go. He loves everything about her. Tracking her down in the Azores was the only way he knew how to get her alone and away from work. He had to try. He thought they had a fantastic couple of days, but when he went home after that, he was so busy and something bad happened. He knew he would see her in a few weeks, so he wanted to wait to explain until he could tell her face to face. He didn't want to talk to her when she had called because he had been struggling with his sobriety and didn't want to have her see him like that. He wanted to keep the bad away from her. Now it might just cost him everything.

I can't wait to read the next book in the series 'Fatal Temptations'.

Book Review: To New Beginnings by Corinne Mazille

My Review:

I loved every minute of their journey. I couldn't put their story down. This was such a great start to this series. I can't wait to read more. I need more.

Mia is a strong lead female character. Being fired, evicted, and catching her fiancé being ridden by another woman, Mia has every reason to take a break from life. Her best friend has her back, that's for sure, and when Mia accidentally purchases a two-week vacation on ʻOʻahu it's that support that has her waking Mia up and packing for her before her flight at an ungodly hour the next morning.

Beau is running from grief and responsibility. When his best friend is killed along with his wife in an unfortunate accident he skips town and ends up on a plane soaring across the ocean. And then a stunning redhead bumps into him at baggage claim. A meeting that sends her fleeing in embarrassment intrigues him and when he sees her dancing and drinking at his hotel's bar? He's unwilling to let her run away this time.

I highly recommend giving this new author a go.

Anora Silby can see the dead and turn spirits into gold coins, two things she would prefer to keep secret as she tries to lead a normal life at her new school. After all, she didn’t change her identity for nothing.
As it turns out, hiding her weirdness is just one of many challenges. By the end of her first day, she’s claimed the soul of a dead girl on campus and lost the coin. Turns out, the coin gives others the ability to steal souls, and when a classmate ends up dead, there’s no mistaking the murder weapon.
Navigating the loss of her Poppa, her mother’s unpredictable behavior, and Roundtable, an anonymous student gossip app threatening to expose her, are hard enough. Now she must find the person who stole her coin before more lives are lost, but that means making herself a target for the Order, an organization that governs the dead on Earth–and they want Anora and her powers for themselves.

Book Review: Tainted by Amanda Cowen

My Review:

This is the first book in of the brand new Wyatt series. Loved this book. I was hooked from the start to the end and never wanted to put it down. This is a great twist on a classic love triangle that will keep you wanting more.

First to set the tone is to introduce everyone. You have Ivy and Eddie Bishop who are brother and sister. Then you have Rhys Wyatt, Eddie's best friend, and Blaine, Rhys's brother. Everyone has grown up around each other with the age difference not too far apart. Ivy and Blaine became really good friends and she has had a crush on Rhys since forever.

Ivy has only had eyes for Rhys, but when one night leaves her picking up the pieces of her heart she has to wonder if she will ever find someone who will love her for who she is and will she be able to put Rhys out of her thoughts for good.

Three years goes by and a lot has changed. Rhys has turned into a huge party animal and was sent back home to clean up his act. Blaine and Ivy are a couple and Ivy's feelings for Rhys are long gone. Ivy is back at her summer job at the Wyatt family's resort and is staying at their ranch house, as per her boyfriend Blaine's request without the knowledge that Rhys is there too.

I can't wait for book 2.

Release Blitz: Losing Time by Chris Karlsen + Giveaway



Title: Losing Time (Knights in Time Book 5) 
Author: Chris Karlsen 
Genre: Historical Romance (With time travel elements) 
Release Date: September 16, 2018 



Can love survive the wrong time and place? Felicia Wycliff’s peaceful stroll through the woods turned to disaster when her dachshund bolted after a rabbit. One minute Felicia was running after the determined little dog, the next she was hurled to the ground. Gathering her wits after her tumble, she brushed herself off and continued her pursuit—-right into three mounted knights who blocked her path. They were so authentic looking. They might’ve stepped from the keep of the nearby castle, Elysian Fields. But the old Norman fortress was a ruin and had been for three hundred years. “Seize her,” the middle knight ordered, the knight who sat tallest in the saddle. “Let me go.” She fought, striking out when the two knights grabbed her. “Who the deuce are you?” “I’m the Captain of the Baron’s Guard, and you are trespassing.” Kidnapped, her confusion and fear consumed her. But when they rode through the gates of Elysian Fields, the castle looking as formidable as the date it was built, her terror exploded. When she fell she knew exactly where she was. But where the devil had she landed?





   




I was born and raised in Chicago. My father was a history professor and my mother was, and is, a voracious reader. I grew up with a love of history and books. My parents also love traveling, a passion they passed onto me. I wanted to see the places I read about, see the land and monuments from the time periods that fascinated me. I’ve had the good fortune to travel extensively throughout Europe, the Near East, and North Africa. I am a retired police detective. I spent twenty-five years in law enforcement with two different agencies. My desire to write came in my early teens. After I retired, I decided to pursue that dream. I write three different series. My paranormal romance series is called, Knights in Time. My romantic thriller series is Dangerous Waters. The newest is The Bloodstone Series. Each series has a different setting and some cross time periods, which I find fun to write. I currently live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband and five wild and crazy rescue dogs.

Silver Dagger Book Tours Celebration + Giveaway



Silver Dagger Book Tours is now 2 years old this month!


Believe it or not, Silver Dagger Book Tours was created and is mainly operated by just one person!
I used to be just an internet crawler looking for new books and giveaways and stumbled upon book tours. After indulging in many dozens of tours, I decided I'd like to try my hand at blogging in my spare time (with absolutely no blogging experience at all!) I was a book blogger for several companies (and still am) and stuck with it for over 3 years. In that time, I learned all the ropes and became a pretty efficient blogger, but there was still something missing- I wanted to make my posts stand out a bit! So, I started creating small graphics like “about the book” and the other standard graphics that you see in all my tours nowadays and started jazzing my posts up.
I became pregnant with my second child in the fall of 2015 and me and my hubby decided to try to purchase our first home finally, so I quit my waitressing job to pack up everything for the move and never looked back!
It took several months of trying to get the ball rolling and was quite difficult at first to get authors to tour with me. Thus, I had an idea to let everybody pay what they can comfortably afford instead of set rates as I thought what some other companies charged were just outrageous!
Since then, I have done over 1000 tours and worked with hundreds of amazing authors – many who come back for repeat tours! I have 2-3 tours kick off every weekday with occasional tours on the weekends and EVERY tour is required to have a giveaway so readers can gain a little something and have fun while they enjoy learning about new books.
I have an absolutely amazing group of bloggers that share my tours on their sites and really couldn't have gotten this far without their continued support and would like to thank each and every one of them! Ya'll are amazing! I also have two assistants that help me check links and keep up with blogger activity – Janet, who's been with me over a year, and Laurie, who is a new addition. Ya'll ladies are spectacular and I couldn't do it without you!
Absolutely everything else is completely run solely by me though and I really enjoy organizing tours and helping new authors get discovered. I don't discriminate and host ALL fictional genres in ALL age ranges as me and my bloggers have a broad range of readers that enjoy many different genres.
After two years of astronomical tours, I am going stronger than ever now and growing on a daily basis with plans to continue hosting tours for many many years!

If you are an author interested in booking a tour with me, you can see a general FAQ page and booking HERE!


If you are a blogger interested in joining some of my tours, you can see my current sign ups HERE!
And sign up for email invites HERE!





A third generation local of the historic town of Fredericksburg, TX, I was born and raised among the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country where the beauty of the landscape is breathtaking and town is  famous for the Main Street historic shopping district, the best peaches in the world, wildflowers and wine. I really can't imagine living anywhere else!
A country girl through and through, I grew up hunting, fishing and digging for Indian artifacts, all the while enjoying the many rivers and swimming holes around town. I'm a stay at home mom with three beautiful boys, ages 9, 2, and 1 that encompass my entire world!
A bookaholic from birth, I have always had a deep passion for reading and spend many late nights devouring books into the wee hours of the morning. My “real” book collection numbers over 3000 books and take up an entire small room in our house with custom bookshelves built by my husband that I call my “book cave”. I've been building this collection since my childhood and will keep on adding to it for the rest of my life. Of course, I also have a similar collection of ebooks as well as I finally went digital a few years ago.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing with my kids, doing DIY renovation projects with my husband, cooking, and relaxing on my back porch with a good cup of coffee while I watch the massive axis deer herd come through the yard.
