Second Chance Cinderella – Sharon Kleve
Second Chance Cinderella is story three in the new romance series, Cinderella Body Club. A timeless Cinderella story reimagined where four girlfriends make a wish on a magic locket. They all wish they are beautiful, confident, and able to find their Prince Charming.
Raven St. James is a Phlebotomist in a prominent Portland, Oregon hospital. She is petite, with jet-back hair, green eyes, and extremely shy. She dreams of being like the nurses on the daytime hospital shows—perfect. Tall, blond, blue eyed, with big breasts.
Dr. Quinn Taylor admires Raven’s skill, and the caring she shows with her patients, but can’t get her attention. Until the day she winks at him.
Raven only has 24 hours in her Cinderella body. What will she do with it? Will she become the confident, strong, flirty girl she wants to be? Will she get the guy she’s always wanted? Quinn.
Love on Ice – Lauren Marie
Kate Beck once was a nationally recognized figure skater. Eight years ago, on the brink of being one of the top three skaters in the United States, her dreams came crashing down at the hands of her coach and her mother. She walked away and has hidden from her mother ever since. Moving from place to place, she gets off a bus in Canon City, finds a job and settles in for the winter. She’s been lonely and dreams that one day she’ll meet a man, have a family and be able to stay in one place. It’s been eight years of running. She hopes her mother has given up the search for her.
Jay Hager grew up in Canon City. He once was an ice hockey player who got picked up by the NHL and played briefly for a junior team. At nineteen years of age, he blew his knee out and his career was at an end. He returned to Canon and bought a dilapidated skating rink. His business has done very well. He notices a beautiful strawberry blonde sits every weekend in the bleachers at the rink and she watches the skating classes and his pee-wee hockey team practice. He would like to get to know her, but finds a mystery around her.
Will Kate stay long enough to find love or let her past fears overwhelm all the good emotions she feels for Jay? Will her mother find her and tear her new world apart?
The Spirit Path – Tammy Tate
“Where did I come up with the idea for The Spirit Path?” you ask. That’s easy.
A palomino horse named “Ben” and a Rottweiler named “Cash” inspired me. After years of horseback riding over acres of undeveloped Texas terrain it sparked my imagination. Did Native American’s ride their horses down these same trails? What was it like back then? Would someone in the twentieth century be able to survive in 1800? Ideas exploded inside my head of danger, suspense and above all romance.
I enrolled in a Journalism/Short Story class and after hours of research, The Spirit Path emerged. Native American history truly fascinated me. I even sprinkled Sioux dialect throughout my manuscripts. Writing became a passion. It stood to reason my genre of choice would be time travel, romance. As time passed, characters that I literally breathed life into refused to go away. Nicole and Flaming Arrow lived century’s apart. They were restless. It was up to me to unite them once more.
With the help of my magnificent publisher, The Spirit Path has evolved into a three part series. Book 1 and 2 are available through BooksToGoNow.com and Amazon. Book 3 is near completion. Telling the story has been the easy part. The hard part, will be to let them go…
Keeping Your Teens Safe
By Angela Ford (Best Seller in Amazon’s Women’s Action & Adventure Fiction – FBI Internet Safety Series – Closure & Forbidden)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
‘The Scary Facts’
– 50% of teens communicate online with someone they’ve never met
– 30% of teenage girls are sexually solicited in chat rooms
– 77% of children targeted by Internet predators are 14 or older
– 64% of teens do things online they don’t want their parents to know
– 60% of teens have received an email/instant message from a stranger and half have communicated
We cannot always monitor and control our children online. But there are things you can do to feel confident about keeping your kids safe online and encourage the good things the Internet has to offer. Here are a few tips I found:
•Be aware – Get to know where your teen is most active on social media, what they talk about online and how much time they spend on the Internet. This doesn’t mean that you have to approve every post or sit with your teen as she or he uses the Internet. Just check-in every once in a while.
•Be honest – Set expectations – Tell your teen that you’re checking in. Once he or she is aware that you keep tabs for safety reasons, your teen might be less likely to visit dangerous sites, or post risky content online. This gives you an opportunity to be open about what you consider safe – and dangerous – Internet usage.
•Communicate – Join your teen online. Even though it might be a difficult conversation to have, start a dialogue with your teen about risky teen behaviors. Applaud good online behavior. When teens use the Internet properly, let them know! Validation from you will help your teen stay on track and continue to behave safely online.
Angela Ford works for Public Education and lives in Ontario, Canada. Being a mom has always filled her home with teenagers – her social network mentors. Angela is passionate about education. A dedicated volunteer involved with cyber safety seminars gave her an Award of Distinction. The quiet moments she does find allows her to plot to intrigue her readers.

Excerpt:
Thirty-six hours later. Back in the U.S.
I halted my one-sided conversation with the foul cockroach wedged between the wall and the table and watched through half-closed eyes as Sergeant Tom Barnaby stepped into O’Neill’s Bar and Grill. I reacted the same way when I stepped into the dimly lit bar. We both kept our backs against the door until our eyes adjusted. Barnaby walked toward me, loose-limbed, like he didn’t have a care in the world. I knew better. Years in law enforcement changed me, set me apart from everyone else. The average citizen couldn’t imagine the atrocities we witnessed. We worked for different agencies, hunting down and arresting scum of the earth who lurked in the streets, businesses, and behind the doors of suburban homes. When Barnaby reached the cracked, orange vinyl booth he shook his head at the mess left on the table from the previous patron. “Jones,” Barnaby said, as he looked around the bar. “You couldn’t have picked a classier place than this to meet?” I didn’t comment, just acknowledged him with a nod, and motioned for him to sit. Without a word, Barnaby sat down, grabbed a grease-stained napkin, brushed the large, winged bug off the table and stomped on it. For the last hour, the roach’s large antennas moved from side-to-side and back-and-forth when I spoke nonsense to him. I hadn’t gotten that much single-minded attention in days. Now, my short-lived friend was bug-guts on the bar floor.
CateyBlair of Night Owl Reviews has reviewed Blind Tasting by Angela Ford.
LINK: http://www.nightowlreviews.com/v5/Reviews/Cateyblair-reviews-Blind-Tasting-by-Angela-Ford
Title: Blind Tasting
Authors: Angela Ford
Score: 4.00 / 5
REVIEW TEXT:
Successful doctor Becca arrives in Vinegrove after finding her best friend in bed with her boyfriend. Besides that, the big city life has lost some of its shine. She is enthralled with her new life, and not looking for a new man, or a new entanglement, only new friends.
Becca meets a group of ladies who have formed a book club, with lots of wine and gossip. The club has come up with a ‘love list’. In short, they make a list of the local, eligible men, and put their names into a hat. The man you choose, is the man you must ask for a date.
Becca choose Chase, a fire fighter, who is good looking, charming, and somewhat of a play boy. He also has some deep rooted issues from his past. As their relationship builds in a direction neither expected, Becca will have to deal with Chase inevitably finding out he was part of a silly game.
Blind Tasting is Book #3 of The Love List series. It is functions as a standalone as well. Wonderful writing and an interesting premise, with delightful, memorable characters in this sweet story. It is defiantly worth reading, and I would certainly read the earlier books in the series. If I had one criticism, and it is a small one, is I cringe at people whose entertainment could be at the expense of another person’s feelings. I wouldn’t want to imagine what that would feel like.

Title: Just in Time, Valentine
Authors: Natalie-Nicole Bates
Score: 5.00 / 5 – Reviewer Top Pick
REVIEW TEXT:
Anissa Blake is about to leave behind her stifling, old job at a hospital, and embark on a new business of her own. What she will miss is the person who every morning leaves hearts drawn in the condensation of a train window. She doesn’t know who the person is, or if the hearts are even meant for her.
Then one morning, she seems him – exotically handsome with a blinding smile. Anissa is immediately in love! When Fate intervenes, and her mystery man leaves behind his phone on the train, she takes the opportunity to chase him down.
What’s next is magical. She finds out that her mystery man is actually a neurosurgery resident, originally from Brazil, named Gabriel Santos. He is not only smart, handsome, and successful, he wants everything in life she does.
After they dive headlong into a fairytale romance, Gabriel drops a bomb – He is transferring his residency to a hospital over one thousand miles away.
Anissa’s emotions run the gamut of anger, sorrow, complete loss, and finally a sort of acceptance. But she does have a choice – she can either walk away from the person who may be the love of her life, or go with him. If she leaves, she not only faces life in a new, unknown place, but she leaves behind her family, including her disabled twin.
Just in Time, Valentine provides the reader with a perfect romance with a life altering twist. Do you choose family over love, and do you sacrifice the only life you’ve event known, so the person you love can fulfill their destiny? A very deep, interesting conflict inside a bright and bubbly kind of story. A perfect hero, and a slightly imperfect heroine, make a great combination for this sexy, yet sweet novella. Not to mention there is a friendly wager between the couple, whose outcome on Valentine’s Day might very well influence their entire future together. A definite winner a reader looking for delightfully different romance.

For The Love Of Animals!
I’m asked on a regular basis why I have some sort of animal in every one of my books. It is simple…I love animals and I love writing about them. It doesn’t matter what kind, shape, or size. I love them all!
Throughout my life I’ve had dogs, birds, frogs, lizards, rabbits and of course precious cats. My husband and I have a dozen bird feeders, two water fountains and multiple yard-art fixtures that we put food and water in for the critters.
Several years ago our cat of fifteen years passed away and we were going to wait awhile before getting another one but as the days went on we missed having a cat. It was during the winter so there weren’t any kittens available. I searched all the shelters and saw pictures of an eight-month-old female, shorthair cat.
When we picked up Ardy from the Bremerton, WA PAWS, they said we’d never be able to pick her up or touch her. She’d been abused. My husband played with her and instantly fell in love. We took her home and after many months of special care, she loves to be held. We laugh because she likes it so much she won’t let you put her down.
All animals deserve a little time, patience and a good loving home.

Sharon Kleve’s latest release, Love Found Me, is a romatic tale of animla lovers, not looking for love, but finding it anyways.
Love Found Me:
When it’s Chloe Miles turn to pick a name out of The Love List she didn’t expect to find true love. She just wanted to go on a date with a nice, available guy. Not one who drank too much, or was unemployed and wanted to stay that way. Or especially one who didn’t know what monogamy means.
Mitch Brodin didn’t know his heart was in the hands of The Love List. His Fate was set the moment he set foot into Roy’s Pet Rescues looking for advice on how to care for new born kittens.
Chloe is vivacious, unpredictable, and tons of fun, while he is methodical, predictable, and well… cynical. He surely hadn’t planned on falling in love. But that’s what you get when you’re not looking for love.

“I’ve read most of Jennifer Conner’s sweet romance stories over the years and they seem to just get better and better. These series she writes with other authors have been fun–Places To See and The Love List–and The Pancake Club seems to be too. I like that they are short and sweet and a quick read. I also like the fact that they take place in a small town. And, as you can tell by my name, I love the romance! I look forward to the other stories in these series as well.” Romance Reader
When people think of Washington State, they think of Seattle. The metropolis city that keeps getting bigger and bigger every day. But, just a hundred miles East and over the mountain pass there is desert, cowboys, and small towns with the population of a few hundred (if that).
When I had the idea for my new series, The Pancake Club, I knew I wanted to place it in one of these small towns. It’s about four single friends who meet at the Memories Diner for breakfast a few times a week. The fun thing is that the Memories Diner really does exist in Ritzville, Washington.
It’s an adorable home cooked meal restaurant with tons of small town charm. I got to talk with Lori Gorman who is one of the charming owners and tickled pink to have our book series set in her diner.
