Cover Reveal Crashing the Net by Jami Davenport



COVER REVEAL: Crashing the Net has a new cover featuring BT Urruela. Thank you Kim Killion and Kruse Images & Photography: Models & Boudoir.

Includes "Crashing the Boards" novella as bonus material.
Jealous boyfriends and glitzy parties can be a recipe for disaster. When the gorgeous yet controlling Cooper interrupts a party Izzy was paid to crash and almost ruins her career as a professional party crasher, Izzy kicks him to the curb. She learned early in life not to count on anyone, and she will not relinquish her independence, not even to a sexy-as-sin pro athlete who can melt her heart with one wink.
As the Sockeyes hockey team opens their inaugural season in Seattle, Cooper finds himself minus a girlfriend and plus a surly teenaged nephew. Cooper doesn't want to be a surrogate dad, he doesn't want to play in Seattle, and he doesn't want to be alone. He misses Izzy, but seeing her with other men at parties turns him every shade of green. Regardless, he wants her back, and he's willing to change, if only she'll give him a second chance. Aware of her precarious finances, Cooper makes an offer she can't refuse by hiring her to be responsible for his nephew when he's traveling with the team.
Fearing Cooper isn't capable of changing his control-freak ways, Izzy resists his efforts to turn their financial arrangement into a personal relationship. He needs a sweet, docile girlfriend, and Izzy cannot be that woman. Yet, when tragedy strikes, Izzy is there when Cooper needs her the most, and love has a way of getting what it wants, no matter the circumstances.

Book Release- Flowers and Cages by Mary J Williams

With the end of September comes Dalton Shaw—ex-con and certified rock star. FLOWERS AND CAGESbelongs to the sexy drummer and what a story it is. Secrets will be revealed. Small town dirty dealings. And a sister from hell. Is it any wonder Dalton hates the idea of returning to Midas, Arizona? One good thing comes out of it. On his first day back, Dalton meets Colleen McNamara. To say that sparks fly between him and the sexy mechanic is putting it mildly. So buckle up and come along the ride. You won't be sorry.

WHAT IS MUSIC WITHOUT SOME HART?

Dalton Shaw was on the verge of success when he made a mistake that could have ruined his life forever. He was one of the lucky ones. A prison sentence wasn't the end. His friends stood by him. Waited. Together, they rode to the top of the charts becoming one of the most successful rock bands in the world.
Dalton thought he had left his bad boy past behind him. Unfortunately, small towns—and the people in them—have long memories. Especially when there are secrets nobody wants dug up.
Returning to Midas, Arizona was the last thing Dalton wanted. Given no choice, he is determined to find the truth once and for all. What he didn't expect to find was a woman like Colleen McNamara.
Prison changes a man. It's inevitable. Can she live with that?
Colleen had one goal. Getting out of Midas as soon as humanly possible. Meeting Dalton Shaw didn't change her dreams. He was a distraction. A bit of fun. She wasn't looking to fall for the blue eyed charmer. But fate—and love—have a way of sneaking up on an unsuspecting heart. It wasn't long before Colleen was willing to put herself at risk if it means protecting Dalton from those who want to use him for their own ends—or ruin him trying.
Danger follows Dalton and Colleen as they search for the truth. Will they make it out of Midas in one piece?
Will they discover in time that love is the most powerful weapon of all?

In case you missed it!

Duncan's book is up on Pre-order for iBooks now! It will go live 10-11-16. There was a bit of a delay in editing, but you will love the book!
Yes, it will be going to Amazon and the other platforms soon, but I wanted to let you know about this link now!
Here's a little excerpt...

His heart thudded with awareness, though. And though he tried to play it cool his gaze kept coming back to her. The lighting in the bar made her eyes bigger and darker green than he remembered them to be. Her pale skin looked incredibly smooth and soft. And she wore some kind of scent that made his mouth water.
Duncan took a swig of the beer, desperate to put some distance between them. It had to be because of the situation that he was responding to her so strongly. Two of his guys had just gotten engaged in front of him and he knew they loved their women more than their own lives. He remembered that feeling. It was a heady thing. Maybe what he was feeling was like a contact high, just with love. It was in the air and he was breathing it in.
John and Shannon were gazing at each other like lovesick fools.
"Wow. They really look to be in love," Alex sighed, propping her chin on her hand and watching them cuddle, that damn dog wiggling between them.
"They are," Duncan admitted. "They've gone through a lot together and I'm happy for them. I think they'll be a strong couple and excellent parents."
"Oh, she's pregnant? That's so wonderful," she sighed.
Duncan swallowed. Yup. Another mark on the con side. She wanted kids.
He'd always wanted kids, but that had been before he'd gone to war and seen all the young men over there being killed. When Melanie had shown up at Walter Reed after he'd been injured and he realized she was pregnant, for just the tiniest fraction of a second he had felt pure joy. Then he'd realized there had been no earthly way he could have put her in that condition. Melanie had cheated on him with another man.
Anyway, that had been many years ago. He was older and wiser now, and he wouldn't be letting himself fall for a woman young enough to be his daughter and who wanted kids. God. He'd be an idiot to get involved with her.

Here's an excerpt from SEAL's Christmas Dream...
Running her hand over her belly she smoothed her shirt. It didn’t matter what she looked like right now—considering he was probably bringing in an emergency—but she always wanted to be pretty for him, and six months after having the baby it was a little harder. Between running around like a chicken with her head cut off keeping her business running, taking care of little Raven and trying to be a present wife, she was run ragged.
Automatically, though, she smiled when Flynn walked in the door. Her big, handsome husband still had his shades on, but when he looked at her his hard, bearded face softened into a smile. That small connection had only gotten stronger in the time they’d been together, and she truly cherished it. Maya, the mixed breed German Shepherd mutt paced around him, prancing anxiously.
Willow’s gaze fell to the towel wrapped bundle in his arms. A black nose peeked out of the folds.
“You brought me a raccoon?” she asked incredulously.
Flynn flashed her an even broader grin and leaned over for a quick kiss. Willow wanted to linger but forced herself to pull away. She looked down at the animal.
Flynn turned the bundle until he could show her the back end. “Looks like he’s been hit by a car, maybe. I chased him across three lanes of traffic before I could catch him.”
She scowled at the knowledge. “You be careful doing that. Denver drivers can be crazy.”
Reaching out she probed at the hanging back leg. “Yes. I would say you’re right. I'll dose him up with pain medication and splint this leg, then we can call the wildlife rehab center to come pick him up. They have their own vet that specializes in exotic animals. He doesn’t look very old so he should recover fairly well as long as he gets this fixed soon.”
Flynn nodded, manipulating the animal as she needed him moved. When she glanced up she realized he’d been staring at her for several long moments.
“What?” she asked defensively.
He’d shoved his shades to the top of his head. His dark gray eyes were lit with wonderful softness. “Nothing. I’m just peeking down your shirt. I can’t believe how beautiful you are.”

 
I know! So much news!

Review of Melody Anne's Billionaire Universe: Struck by Lightning by AJ Harmon

Melody Anne's Billionaire Universe: Struck by Lightning (Kindle Worlds Novella)Melody Anne's Billionaire Universe: Struck by Lightning by AJ Harmon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This latest novella is proving to me that Ms Harmon knows her way around the literary romance world. By writing a western themed romance, she's proven that love does indeed come in many forms. She's shown how she can write a short story about a a couple that meets because of serendipity. I was instantly pulled into the story and fell in love with Cody and Allie, as each of them were trying to understand the pull that they had towards one another. This was a quick paced romance that leaves you wanting more!
Read this novella and fall in love with a romance author that will have you clamoring for more of her stories.

Patricia Ann Fitzgerald is no man’s arm candy…
Refusing to entertain her mother’s ridiculous notion that she should become the perfect little housewife for her ex-boyfriend Ben, Patty escapes to her father’s lake house to focus on what matters most to her. She has to break through her writer’s block and start her next book.
Medically discharged from the service and suffering from PTSD, Carter Montgomery is still trying to get his life back in order…
When Carter's father Jackson suggests a week at the lake, it's not only so he can gain a little clarity about his future. Jackson has other plans for his recovering son, intending for him to watch over his best friend’s daughter while she’s on a solo writing retreat—an idea that doesn’t please Carter at all.
Patty finds it hard to get any work done when her attention keeps diverting to the handsome stranger next door…
Patty is persuaded to attend a charity event, despite knowing her ex will be in attendance. When Ben rudely interrupts Patty’s dance with her father and drags her off the floor, Carter is quick to intervene. He’s tired of admiring Patty from afar, and refuses to see her treated that way. Ready to ditch the stuffy event, Patty escapes with her savior someplace where they can finally talk.
Ben always gets what he wants, and he isn’t willing to let Patty slip away…
Patty fights to preserve her blooming relationship with Carter from the critical eyes of her mother and the scheming ways of her ex. Will Carter manage to get his life back in order in time to save Patty from the life she never wanted?

Patricia Fitzgerald is finally ready to bring her relationship with Carter into the limelight, despite what her mother thinks…
Patty is prepared to face the consequences and announce her relationship at her first public fundraiser with Carter. But when a strange woman makes a move on him, and she finds them in what appears to be a mutual, passionate kiss, Patty can’t believe she’s been so foolish. She should’ve known better than to trust a man.
Carter’s been set up, but he can’t get anyone to believe him…
Floundering under the stress of losing Patty, the PTSD nightmares start in again, leaving Carter no choice but to turn to the only thing that will numb the pain. Alcohol—and lots of it. His family quickly intervenes and takes him to the hospital to kick-start his road to recovery. Carter knows burying the pain isn’t the answer. He has to heal…and save his relationship with Patty.
Outside forces work to keep Patty and Carter apart…
Suspicious of her mother’s recent actions, Patty pushes her to come clean about the setup at the fundraiser. Her jealous ex, Ben, has been blackmailing her mother into helping him ruin her relationship with Carter, and it doesn’t stop at that. Ben shows up at the lake house unwilling to accept no for an answer.
Carter needs to piece his broken life back together, but he’s running out of time…
With so many who want to destroy their happiness, he has to be strong enough to save Patty from an empty, loveless future—or he’ll be nothing more than the broken soldier she used to know.
