Chasing Fire

CHASING FIRE, An I-Team/Colorado High Country Crossover Novel is out!
When a raging wildfire threatens to burn Scarlet Springs to the ground, Eric Hawke and the members of the Rocky Mountain Search and Rescue Team join together with Marc Hunter (I-Team) and his cop buddies to save the town they love.
Here's what readers are saying:
"Merging the I-Team and Scarlet Springs together for one big battle against Mother Nature was freaking brilliant!! Almost all the characters from both series were present, making this a mini-reunion with all the feels!"
—Julie, 5-star review, Amazon
"I started this book at 9 p.m. and was up until 1:45 because I could not put it down until I knew what happened."
—TigMode, 5-star review Amazon
"In keeping with her penchant for excellence in storytelling, Ms. Clare hit a home run with this latest book. I so enjoyed the seamless manner in which both the I-Team and the Scarlet Springs stories together. The plot keeps you engrossed throughout, I could not put the book down!"

Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh by Lisl & Landt Dennis

Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to MarrakeshLiving in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh by Landt Dennis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This Coffee Table Book is filled with stunning photographs of rooms decorated with vibrant textiles, landscapes, rooftop gardens, detailed explanations of each photograph.
My husband and I recently went on a vacation in Marrakech Morocco. We saw many beautiful buildings, visited old palaces, gardens and museums. Marrakech is a beautiful city that’s as clean as Disney World! The Moroccan people are openly friendly, the souks and shops that we visited were fabulous and we came home feeling inspired.

While this book was published in 1992, the information within is pages is still very relevant today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started reading this “cook book” while my husband and I were staying at the Riad Dar Les Cigognes in Marrakech Morocco earlier this month. We had many meals at our Riad, I was very delight to discover all of which are recipes in this book. I’ve made several of the recipes from this book and am very pleased with how our meals have turned out.
This is the perfect addition to my Travel Book collection.

This book was first published in 1991. It’s a Coffee Table Book- one filled with stunning photographs. Each page has either a Black & White or Color Photo which is rich in details. The description with each photo tells you the who, what & where is going on.
It’s a beautiful addition to my travel book collection.

Marrakesh by Design by Maryam Montague

Marrakesh by Design: Decorating with All the Colors, Patterns, and Magic of MoroccoMarrakesh by Design: Decorating with All the Colors, Patterns, and Magic of Morocco by Maryam Montague
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

While most people think that I read fiction 24/7, that's really not the case. I read a vast variety of books.

I collect Travel Books on places that I've been to. Sometimes I have to order them online as there aren't any books shops in some of the locations in where I've traveled OR there aren't any books printed in the English language.

My copy is a paperback edition that was printed in China

I found this book to be very comprehensive- covering many different Moroccan color pallets and styles. There are photographs of kitchens, bathrooms, transitional spaces and living spaces plus gardens and rooftop living spaces are covered. It’s given me much inspiration on bringing a bit of Moroccan Design into my own home.

Audiobook Review of Embattled Hearts by J.M. Madden

One of the things that can turn a reader off  while listening to an audio book is the narration. Is the narrators cadence smooth and words pronounced correctly? One of my personal pet peeves is when certain syllables in words are over exaggerated or  overemphasized.
 I found the narration of this book by Eric G. Dove to be amazing! This book has been brought to life by his smooth reading style and even speaking cadence.  Author JM Madden writes in a manner that hooks you from the first sentence...she gets you invested in the characters and her writing style pulls you to read more of the book than you actually have time for (my poor family has had to order take out more than once). THIS is where audiobooks are such a wonderful change of pace for me. 
This story of John Palmer and Shannon Murphy is filled with excitement, lust, mystery and one heck of a storyline that ends in an HEA. Ms Madden writes in a manner that doesn't glamorize or patronize our wounded heroes, but in fact brings them into real life situations and shows that feel as if they are every bit as real as me or you, they have hopes of finding real love and fears about being accepted/rejected because their physical scars. John Palmer with his broody nature is one of my favorite characters and listening to this book really brought his persona and personal issues into real perspective. 
I give this Audiobook 5 stars 
Below is my review from 2016


Embattled Hearts (Lost and Found, #1)Embattled Hearts by J.M. Madden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

John Palmer is a combat modified Marine who's one of the three owners if Lost and Found detective agency. Shannon Murphy is the office manager who fantasizes about about the possibilities of a romantic relationship with one of her bosses -John Palmer.
John is still carrying a lot of resentment about the accident that ended his military career. He's been fantasizing about the possibility of Shannon ever needing a man like him. He feels as if he could be enough and she wonders if he would let her into his heart.
Trust me, you'll laugh, cry and fall in love with all of the guys from the Lost and Found agency! You'll get hooked on the series and look forward to the stories of each of the men and women getting their much deserved HEA!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I received this book through Book Funnel as an ARC

Andi and Noah- both ambitious go-getters...one comes from money and one doesn't. Even though they both work hard for making a name for themselves, they end up falling in love.

I love how this story plays out and how they end up going their own ways but end up meet up again.

One Way or Another by Mary J Williams

One Way or Another  (The Sisters Quartet #1)One Way or Another by Mary J. Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I originally received this book as an ARC through Book Funnel and this is my opinion of what I've read...

Each and every time I've read a novel by May J. Williams, I find myself surround by a dozen different emotions- which is why I like to read her books at least twice before I post my reviews. She writes stories of strong women and the men that love them. Ms. Williams did not disappoint this reader with this new sizzling series. It reminds me (in a way) of Nora Roberts. THIS is what readers of contemporary romance want-that spark and sizzle and how Ms. Williams make us fall in love with her characters and all of her books over and over again.

This is a NEW series about the 4 Benedict sisters, Calder, Bryce, Aldi and Destry. The relationship between Calder and Adam is panty melting HOT! To say that those two have sexual chemistry is putting it mildly! You'll want to grab a glass of ice water and a fan! The sisters have a close bond and this is very evident in the story.
Ps- I liked it so much that I bought my own copy!

Release Blitz- Shutdown Player by Jami Davenport

She wanted to give her body to him because he already had her heart.
Shutdown Player by Jami Davenport is AVAILABLE NOW!
After a brief marriage to an unfaithful, gold-digging wife, Jared Roderick is looking for the perfect good girl, and he thinks he’s found her.

Steph has had enough of men controlling her life from her preacher father to her abusive boyfriend. She wants to regain the innocence she lost and ignore the ugliness of her recent past. She’s not the pure and sheltered virgin Jared is looking for and fends off his advances despite the sizzling chemistry between them. Jared is as determined to win Steph over as he is to win hockey games; but when his fantasy becomes tarnished, does he have the strength to skate the distance?

book review On the Line by Liz Lincoln

On the Line (Milwaukee Dragons, #1)On the Line by Liz Lincoln
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

What seemed to be a promising romance fell flat after the first chapter. Too much drama for the female lead character. Too many open story lines that went nowhere. Drama, drama, drama everywhere you looked.

Book Release- Hot Response by Shannon Stacey

“The enjoyable latest installment of Stacey’s contemporary Boston Fire series (after Fully Ignited) combines blazing passion and a certain sweetness.” - Publisher’s Weekly
Gavin Boudreau lives for the job, but he also believes in “work hard, play harder.” As the youngest guy in Ladder 37, he figures he’s got plenty of time before settling down becomes a priority. Soft, pretty women who aren’t looking for promises are exactly his type, and he’s comfortable with that. Working with a gorgeous EMT isn’t going to change who he is.
The last thing Cait Tasker needs in her personal life is a firefighter whose challenges on-scene have been a thorn in her side from minute one. Her plate’s too full for a man anyway. Back in her childhood home to help her family cope with an unexpected tragedy, she’s got enough to handle without throwing a hot, testosterone-laden fireman into the mix.
As long days on the job lead to long nights together, Gavin and Cait will discover how far temptation can take them—and what happens when the one you thought was all wrong for you turns out to be the person you can’t live without.
“Shannon Stacey’s firefighters are always fantastic entertainment but I think HOT RESPONSE has so far knocked this series out of the park.” - The Romance Reviews

“Get ready for a smoking hot romance full of misunderstandings, helpful friends and plenty of family.” - Night Owl Reviews

One quick note: Unfortunately, an error was introduced into HOT RESPONSE during production that was not present in the document during any of the editing passes. In two instances, the word “to” was replace by “back seat”. I have no explanation for the glitch, which my publisher hopes to fix in the digital edition soon, but I hope it won’t be too distracting. (I’ve been assured by early readers that their enjoyment of Gavin and Cait’s story wasn’t marred by the production glitch.)

Blurb:

The witch with the phoenix tattoo…

Isobel Fieri loves her dream job of working as an archivist in the city’s most prestigious museum. Well, aside from the creepy advances of her boss, that is. But when her mentor goes missing and a valuable exhibit piece vanishes into thin air, she knows something is very wrong. Bound by her desire to find answers, some really steamy flashbacks, and an attraction to a certain sexy fireman, opening weekend is about to get interesting.

He will find her again and protect her at all costs.


Roark Jameson has never forgotten the mate he loved and lost. He and his cat have pledged their lives to fighting fire, the very thing that took her from them. When he finds himself in front of the Remington Museum, he is drawn in to the mythology exhibit despite himself. A chance meeting will upend his universe and bring his carefully constructed world crashing down around him. Discovering his long lost mate here seems impossible, but when danger roams the hallowed halls of the museum, he must fight for her or lose her forever to the twisted web of fate.

Excerpt:


“We have to leave.”
“What?”
She lifted her face toward his, the ghostly light of the moon on her pale cheeks making her eyes appear luminous. She curled her fingers in his shirt and dragged his mouth down to hers. The sweet cinnamon taste of her lips brought their time together last Friday night to the forefront of his mind.
“Firestarter,” he sighed into her hair. What once had been a terrible nickname had become his term of endearment for her.
Roark’s jeans grew uncomfortably tight and as she molded her body against his, he let out a groan. But then he heard it, a car moving up the gravel road. He broke the kiss, struggling to shake the fog of wanting her that had taken over his body.
He had to remain in control. For both their sakes.
“Izzy, someone’s coming.”
“I hear them.” Her voice was cold. “Sounds like Rory’s old sedan. I knew it wouldn’t be long before they followed me up here.”
“Do you think they put a tracker on you?”
She shrugged. “It could be anywhere. My clothes. A spell someone brushed on me when I was at the meeting after work.”
He would go crazy in a prison like that. Roark ground his teeth in indignation. They had to be stopped.
“What do you want to do?”
“I want a say in my future. Let’s go.”
“Where?”
“What about Wayfarer?” Her eyes were fathomless pools and when he peered into their depths, he remembered the unsettling encounter at Forbidden Ink. He’d looked up the best shops in a hundred mile radius and it was ranked as one of the top three. But what they both got when they arrived was akin to a fortune telling session with needles.
He would never forget the owner’s words when they walked into the shop and he asked to see the selection of tattoos.
“The Goddess picks your ink, boy.” The sultry, dark eyed vampire considered them both and then pointed at him. “You. Sit. I’ll be with you in a bit.”
And she had. Hours later, after Izzy was done, he’d made an appointment to come the next night only to receive a masculine version of the same tattoo.
The woman…Fae, he half remembered, contemplated him after she’d finished his ink. “Don’t be afraid to walk into the flames. There’s a reason why the phoenix chose you both, shifter. Just be worthy of her when the time comes.

Pre-Order Loved by Darkness by Autumn Jordan

A two-year-old child is found adrift on the Atlantic. It’s the job of the Cape James Police Chief, Norris Stiles, to learn who left the girl to die. New to the area, and the job as chief, he might be out of his depth. Fortunately help has arrived. Unfortunately, the feisty and beautiful U.S. Marshal could distract him from his obligations.

Burnt out by grueling covert missions, U.S. Marshal Jolene Martinez heads home to the Virginia Coast for a much-needed vacation, only to become embroiled in a heart-breaking child abandonment case. When she saves the child, the case becomes personal for Jolene, and she’s determined to solve the mystery with or without the chief’s support.

As the clock ticks on, both the sweet girl and the charismatic chief pluck at heart strings Jolene believed severed years ago. Duty and desire mix while she and Norris race to eliminate suspects and expose the perpetrator of the sinister act before the tides wash away all evidence and he attempts to harm the child again.



An epic case drops from thin air and a ticking clock begins. Can U.S. Marshal Jolene Martinez stop the sinister creator before it's too late and a death occurs?
