Blurb:

After her parents died, Isabella promised to always look after her younger sister, Adrianna. So when Adrianna goes missing, nothing will stop Isabella from finding her, not even if it means taking on one of the most powerful men in Las Vegas by herself. But when a hot, infuriating biker named Kojack ambushes one of her interrogations and kills her lead, her investigation is turned upside down. Even though she doesn't want to, she decides to work with him and use his deadly skill set to her advantage. Their attraction is undeniable, yet Isabella fights it every step of the way, determined not to fall for the cocky biker who pushes all of her buttons.

Kojack, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to break down Isabella's defenses and prove that she wants him just as much as he wants her. 

The deeper they get in the investigation, the closer Isabella and Kojack become. Neither are looking for anything serious, but their lust evolves into something more, no matter how much they both deny their feelings. 

When forced to put everything on the line, will they be able to realize how much is really at stake before it's too late?

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

Isabella would do anything to find and save her sister. I loved her determination to go that extra mile. Her willingness to ask for help when she truly needed it showed her strength of character. Kojack was caught from their first meeting. His desire to protect her at all cost, even keeping secrets from his MC brothers, kept me reading. There was a lot of action to this story, danger, and heat. I look forward to the next in the series.

Blitz: Rabbit Moon by Jan D. Payne with an excerpt and a giveaway

Rabbit Moon

by Jan D. Payne

Release date: September 17th, 2024

Genres: Adult, Mystery, Thriller





Blurb:

They say you can’t go back home, but Marin Sinclair, end-of-life doula, doesn’t expect her life to be in danger when she answers a mysterious plea for help from a long-ago friend and returns to Dinetah, the Navajo Nation. Her past there holds memories she is reluctant to confront, but what about her life then would make someone want to kill her?

Navajo Nation Police Sergeant Justin Blue Eyes shares a connection with Marin from the past, and he has a few questions of his own when Marin disappears―such as why the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has agents investigating the abandoned uranium mines on the reservation and how Marin is connected.

Marin needs to survive to find any answers, and to do so she is forced to run, going off the grid on her own in the Lukachukai mountains with unknown killers close behind.

Purchase:




Excerpt:

The wheels of the big Chevy truck came to a sliding halt beside Marin’s small sports car, churning sand and scattering rocks, and Bud Tolliver stepped out before the vehicle came to a full stop, a flashlight in his hand.
He spoke to Cecil as he slammed the truck door.
"She's got to be close by,” he said. "Probably hiding in the rocks.” 
He leaned into the driver's window of Marin’s car. "Keys are gone," he said and reached to flip open the glove box. "She must have her wallet and phone on her. She's hiding alright." 
"Or running," Cecil said.
Tolliver swore and started for the rocks a few yards away, and Marin lay unmoving in her hiding place, trying to silence the sound of her own breathing.
"Get the headlights on those rocks, Cecil." 
"Bud, listen. We've got what we wanted. She's off the main roads, she's alone, there's nobody out here to help her. There’s no way she can make it back to the highway with us watching the road. Let's let it go, come back at daylight."
"Let it go?" Bud turned and spat into the sand. 
"Look around, Bud. Where's she gonna go? We're miles from anywhere and our instructions," he paused and repeated the words, "our instructions were to keep her out of Shiprock."
"Maybe my instructions were more explicit than yours," Bud said. 
"Nothing was said about hurting her," Cecil insisted.
Tolliver laughed. "Who's going to hurt her? We're just going to hold on to her for a while."
"Is that what was going on today, Bud? You were just holding on to her? You got us mixed up with the Navajo Police, and that wasn't part of either of our instructions!"
Bud took a quick step toward Cecil and pushed him against the door of the truck. "I need your help, Cecil, but not so much that I can’t do without it," he said. 
Marin didn’t move, her heartbeat loud in her ears. A drop of sweat ran across her nose and into one eye, but she didn't move, and she heard her small car’s hood slam shut a few minutes later. 
"Make sure you got the coil pack," Tolliver barked, and her heart sank at the loss of the car. "I don't want her going anywhere when she decides to come out of hiding. We’ll come back at first light. With any luck, she'll freeze to death." He lifted his voice into a shout, and the hair rose on Marin’s arms.
"We know you're out here, in the dark, on foot, alone. Alone!" he yelled. "You hear me? Alone!"
Marin heard him. His words echoed long after she heard the Chevy truck start up and drive away, but she remained still, shivering, afraid of a trap. 
All remained quiet, the normal nighttime sounds of the desert resuming around her, and gradually she began to believe she was alone. It was time to think of more immediate matters, like getting through this night…
It was slow going, walking cross-country in the dark, and she vowed never again to be without a flashlight. When she walked into the branches of a small juniper tree, she stopped, defeated, deciding to wait for the moon to top the mountains. She slid down against the tree trunk and wrapped her arms around her knees, hugging herself for warmth and singing quietly under her breath.
"...gazing at the moon ’till I lose my senses..." but the words reminded her of Vangie, and she let the song die away. 
She pulled her jacket tighter, lonely and homesick—no family to miss her or wonder where she was…lost, cold, and alone.
Suddenly the full moon appeared, floating up and over the rainclouds in the eastern sky until gradually the clumps of sage and the gnarled branches of the juniper tree were washed in its silver light. She could see to walk now, but she sat for a minute longer, staring at the moon as it rose higher, the rabbit clearly visible, tilted to one side. 
She was like that rabbit, perpetually struggling to stand upright, trying to find an even surface in an unfair world. Tonight, she was as vulnerable as any rabbit fearing the whoosh of wings or the pad of clawed feet. 
She fingered the gun Tolliver had left in her jacket pocket. 
Maybe not quite that vulnerable, and she stood, pulled Edison’s red cap down tight, and walked into the mountains.

Blitz: The Parent Playbook (Love on Thin Ice Series) by Elsie Wood with an excerpt and a giveaway



The Parent Playbook

Series: Love on Thin Ice

by Elsie Wood

Release date: September 26th, 2024

Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance, Sports


Blurb:

I don’t know when dad jokes and mismatched socks became my type, but that hockey dude skated into my life like a runaway puck… and I think I like it.

Angel:

I know I should be thankful that my charity was selected by the Ice Breakers hockey team. It’ll make a huge difference in children’s lives all over the state.

There’s only one problem:

I hate hockey dudes.

I have to remind myself of that fact when Scotty MacFarland with his groan-worthy dad jokes slips into my life like he’s always been there.

No matter how hard I push back on that perfectly formed chest, Scotty remains strong, giving me the space I need. I’m beginning to think I don’t want to have so much space anymore.

But by the time I figure that out, it just might be too late.

Scotty:

The only thing I love more than hockey is my daughter.

It was a no-brainer for me to give up the ice when I became a single dad, and I didn’t look back. But when the call came to coach the Ice Breakers, the opportunity was too good to pass up, and I thought my girl would thrive with a fresh start in Maple Falls.

Turns out, the leaves weren’t the only thing falling in Maple Falls.

Angel Davis swooped into my life and pieces I didn’t know were missing started to fall into place. A devoted single mom, director of a children’s charity, and all-around spark of sassiness, she and I find an easy rhythm, despite her throwing a boot at my face.

But Lily comes first. And if I have to leave behind a future with Angel before it’s started in order to do what’s right, I will.

Though it seems fate has other ideas.

The Parent Playbook is part of the Love on Thin Ice sweet small town hockey romcom series. It’s a single dad/single mom, second chance love story in this small town romance with all the sizzle and chemistry, but none of the spice.

Purchase:




Excerpt: 

Before I know it, Scotty’s placing an empty water bottle atop his head, standing with a mock-serious expression, hands by his sides. “All right, Annie Oakley, let’s see what you’ve got.”
I hesitate for a split second—am I really about to throw my boot at this man? But the impish spark in his eyes is too much to resist. I slip off my boot, balance it in my hand, and toss it gently. 
It spins through the air, perfectly knocking the bottle off without so much as grazing his hair.
Scotty applauds. “Nice shot! But was it luck or skill?”
“I think we’re about to find out.”
“Over here!” He runs to the other side of the barn and I’m a few strides behind. He snatches his safety goggles, balancing them on his head, but they’re no match for my aim. I knock them off with a satisfying thud.
“Over here!”
A feed bucket, an egg basket, and a grooming brush later, I’ve kept my perfect score.
“You’re amazing!” he shouts. “Wait, I know …” With a particularly devilish grin, Scotty puts on his cowboy hat. “This one’s for all the marbles, Angel.”
“You’re asking a lot of me here. That baby is hugging your head.”
“I have confidence in you.”
“That’s one of us anyway,” I mumble as I take aim, my heart pounding—not from the game, but from the way he looks at me, like I’m the only woman on earth. “Here goes nothing …”
The boot flies true, flicking the hat right off that handsome head.
“Yes!” he cries, and next thing I know, I’m heading for him.
As if drawn by a magnet, I stumble right into Scotty’s waiting arms. Our bodies crash together, his hands steadying me at my waist, and we laugh, my hands on his chest. We’re face to face, breaths mingling, the laughter filling the barn until it fades out and all that’s left is him and me.
His eyes search mine, and there’s so much affection, such tenderness, that something inside me melts on the spot. 
Kiss me. Kiss me. Kiss me.
I bite my lip as my arms gently push on his chest. 
What am I doing?
I have no idea. I can’t tell what I want. I think it’s him, that I want him more than I’ve wanted almost anything, but a force in me presses him back.
This is a silly crush. A silly crush on a super handsome, considerate, helpful, gentle, intelligent, muscular man.
He lets me go, and I don’t know if he just ruined it or saved us both, but he follows up by setting a box of screws on his head. 
“How about this? One more for good luck, unless you’re scared of hitting something other than hats.”
The spell may be broken, but my heart still races. “It’s a small target, but I’ve been known to hit a gourd with an arrow from thirty yards at Maple Fest.”
“Prove it, cowgirl.”
Must calm these overwrought nerves. I wind up, ready for the shot …
“MOM!”
“I WASN’T DOING ANYTHING!” I shout as the boot flies a little too forcefully, my aim a little off.
And it smacks Scotty straight in the face.
