Synopsis: I’m used to going for the easy things in life. The easy A in school. The easy lay in bed. The easy life my trust fund affords me. Until I met Shelby. Never in my life have I found retro T-shirts and ChapStick so damn sexy. She’s exactly what I never knew I wanted. And she’s *anything* but easy. But suddenly, easy is overrated.

Only one damn problem… For Shelby, *hating me* is easy.

For the first time in my life, I have to work for something. And though she may not be easy…she’ll be worth it.

EXCERPT: At the corner of her mouth, a crumb stuck to her Chap Stick. This had to be a setup, right? My eyes were locked on her full bottom lip. “You have a crumb.” I pointed. Her lashes lowered, and she darted her tongue to the wrong corner of her mouth, missing the cookie. All the blood rushed to my pants so quickly, I swear I got light headed. Was this all in my mind? She didn’t seem aware of what she was doing as she brushed her index finger over the wrong side of her mouth. I slid a little closer, waiting to gauge her reaction, and her breath caught, almost like she was swallowing a gasp. A good gasp? One that was laced with need, I hoped. My pulse thundered, and my arousal was so thick it clawed at the base of my pelvis. But something more profound skimmed higher in my chest. Something new that flipped and somersaulted and wasn’t altogether unpleasant. I leaned in some more, still hesitating. She seemed the skittish type, and I didn’t want to rush her. “You still missed it,” I said. Lifting my finger to her lips, I brushed at the crumb stuck there. I knew it was too soon, too fast. But God, I needed to taste those watermelon-scented lips, to feel them against mine. I’d been slowly moving closer for the better part of thirty seconds, and as I tilted my chin down, her sharp breath and rm nipples were all the confirmation I needed. “Don’t worry,” I whispered. “I’ll get it.”

Synopsis: Hockey’s most eligible bachelor must run interference to get the one girl he can’t have.

Sydney: I’d never even heard of Caleb Prescott, God’s gift to hockey. Who watches hockey anyways? Not me, I’m too busy with college and work. My part-time just for fun job has now asked me to recruit this player for a new dating show. Sounds easy enough. . .until he insists I become part of the show. Caleb: I only agreed to compete on the dating show to get closer to Sydney—the redhead pixie I’d do anything to see again. But unlike the women competing for my affection, or the puck bunnies desperate for my attention, Sydney isn’t impressed by my hockey skills. I never miss a shot, I don’t care if she calls interference, I’ll do anything to win her heart.

EXCERPT

Caleb As she was about to rush into explaining when I would board the cruise-liner, as if I had agreed to it, I held up my hand. “Miss Meadows.” God that sounded too formal for a woman like her. “Sydney,” I tried again, definitely preferring the taste of it on my tongue. “How about we meet over coffee or something tomorrow? Ten?” Her eyes widened slightly, just briefly, before she nodded with a fixed smile in place. “Of course. Yes, that will give you more time to let it sink in. So long as you agree to—” I cut her off with a grin. While yes, this show was against everything I had ever thought for myself, I had a feeling that sitting with Sydney and talking to her about the show, as if I were agreeing to it, would be the only time I’d see this gorgeous redhead again. I didn’t quite know what was drawing me to this short pixie of a woman, but I definitely wanted to see her again. Tomorrow I’d have no time constraints and she could talk all she wanted. But before I realized the words were out of my mouth though, I said, “I’ll do it,” agreeing to her pitch. Shit. Fuck. The smile filling her face wasn’t one I was about to take away, and her amber eyes danced, lightening just slightly to bring out fiery red specks. “We can discuss contestants tomorrow then. Wonderful. Oh, great!” I had to swallow a chuckle at her obvious excitement. We agreed on a place to meet and I watched her leave out of the corner of my eye while heading toward the ice. Like I said, I liked her ass.

Synopsis: Before the Prescott name became big in the hockey world, there was just Noah Prescott, fighting for a spot on an NHL roster. Never did he imagine a simple note from a shy fan would speed up his world. Ryleigh Scott had an issue talking to men, but she knew she couldn't pass up the opportunity to talk to Noah -- potentially negative labels, be damned. Never did she imagine a simple note would start what could only be described as the beginning of the rest of her life. This is Noah and Ryleigh -- before the NHL contract, before the kids, before going back home. This is Noah and Ryleigh from the beginning.

ABOUT MIGNON MYKEL

Mignon is a twenty-something (…getting awfully close to thirty-something) who resides in Wisconsin. An avid reader since her preschool days, she ‘blames’ her mother for teaching her to read during that all-important time during a forming brain. Some of her earlier memories of reading include her mother buying her a book at the mall — and finishing the book before they even returned home. Writing happened soon after the reading started. Her first writing piece can be found in a box of other important papers from growing up. It’s about an apple who was her friend, but she had to eat. The first series Mignon started to write was about a close family of one brother and his three younger sisters. She started writing this family and their friends in 2005, but as soon as the Prescott family took over her mind, the Ashbys fell silent. Maybe someday we’ll all hear from the Ashbys, but those Prescotts…. The Prescotts are excited to have their stories told.

new release - Saving her Angel

Title: Saving Her Angel

Series Name: Archangels #3

Author: Missy Jane

Description: Eleanor has loved her boss Cam from afar for years, but now he wants to retire and send her away. Tearing her heart out would have been kinder.

Archangel Camael must never fall for a woman. If he does, he’ll lose his angelic powers, and he will age like a human. Protecting humans from evil is paramount and has meant periodically reinventing his identity to avoid rousing suspicion. But as his desire grows for his secretary, Eleanor, duty feels more like a burden, because he can’t imagine starting a new life without her.

He can never fall in love.

A force of evil is wreaking havoc and Cam and his Archangel brothers scramble to determine and thwart the cause. The key lies in Eleanor’s tormenting memories, but if they push her too hard, she might snap. Cam must walk the delicate line between protecting Eleanor, appeasing his brothers, and saving the world.

Funny quote:  "Hey that was only the one time, and you promised not to keep bringing it up.”
“One time?” Cam asked as he walked in. “You’re the reason a clan of immortal Archangels who don’t need to actually eat all keep fire extinguishers in our kitchens.”
“And smoke alarms throughout our homes,” Uri added.
“Whatever,” Sel said as he rolled his eyes. “They came with the houses.”

My review:

4 stars
If you are looking for a love story back dropped by archangels fighting demons this is a book for you. This is the third book in the series though it can be read as a stand alone. There was no having to get up to speed as often happens in series when you read them out of order. The link between them is that if they fall in love they can no longer be an Archangel and must fall. Even with the dark background story most of the love story is a welcome lightening of the story. The background story  is all about angels, archangels and the battle against evil. The author introduced some of the theology of angels in a easy to read manner. For example her talking of Watchers and whether or not they are supposed to act on what they see or just observe is something people interested in angels could argue about for years. Her Watchers appear to be the same as a guardian angel.

I am looking forward to going back and reading the first two books, as well as reading the future books in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a love story involving angels or one with a very low heat rating. There is more than just kissing but it is not very graphic. This book would be acceptable for YA readers up to senior citizens.

Author Bio:
Missy Jane is the alter ego of a married mother of four who was born and raised in Texas. She spends most of her time lost in worlds of her own making, alternately loving and hating such creatures as vampires, shape-shifters, sexy Archangels, and gargoyles (to name a few). When not writing, she spends her time reading, taking photos of her beautiful daughters and training her husband to believe she's always right.

A Time of Torment by John Connolly
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is my first book by John Connolly and it certainly won't be my last. It took me a little bit to keep track of who we were reading about as it jumped from character to character. It was easier than many books I have read that used this method to tell their story. This was since it isn't written in first person. This book is very well-written and typo free.
I liked the paranormal aspect of the story. Since I hadn't read any of the other books in this series I expected a straight detective//P.I./mystery story. Instead I found a book that included FBI, local police, supernatural beings masquerading as human, true evil and those who battled it. I found the style of writing as well as the subject matter to be similar to the writing of Stephen King or Peter Straub. This book clearly shows a battle between good and evil. Evil is destroyed or atleast believed to be. Charlie isn't all good but he uses everything he has to battle against those who do evil.
I would recommend this book to anyone liking mysteries and the supernatural. I received this book free from netgalley.com in exchange for a fair and honest review.
