I’ve got 99 problems, and picking the wrong guy might be all of them.

I’ve always had my royal checklist: Attend the Husband Hunting Ball? Check. Find the perfect match for a princess like me? Check. Feel zero sparks with Mr. Right (aka Enzo Revera)? Sadly, double check.

But then I met Marco, Enzo’s charming and rugged brother. He’s everything I shouldn’t want, especially since I’ve planned my life to avoid the messiness of love.

When a twist of fate puts Marco at my side, I can’t deny our chemistry, even if he’s all wrong for a princess like me. Thrown together by royal duties and an ancient riddle, Marco and I embark on a crazy adventure that leads us to hidden clues.

As we unravel a secret that changes everything, I’m faced with a choice between duty and desire. Can I defy expectations and claim both the throne I’ve always wanted and my true love?

Ava

My life is content. Living and working in my small hometown of Pine Village is right where I want to be, especially with family and a few close friends nearby.

It’s taken me some time to dig my way out of the negative spotlight I found myself under a few years back, thanks to an old photo from college that resurfaced. That’s why I have rules: no social media, no drinking alcohol in public, and no dating the father of one of my students. Then, Gavin Pierson rescues me from the side of the road.

He’s not making it easy to say no, especially when he flashes that sexy boyish grin of his. The only problem is dating him would be a complication I’m not prepared to deal with, but he’s proving to be relentless.

Gavin

Something calls to me when I’m near my daughter’s shy fifth-grade teacher. I wanted Ava Rutledge when we were teenagers in high school, and now that seems to be the case once again.

However, she’s given herself strict guidelines, and despite the attraction I know she feels, convincing her to take a chance on us could be a challenge. It's a good thing I’m a patient man. The biggest hurdle we face is the fact she’s my daughter’s teacher, and that’s the one rule she’s not willing to budge on.

I’m going to have to show her how much fun it can be when we break it.

#BookReview: Of Starlight and Midnight by Amy Kuivalainen

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

Of Starlight and Midnight combines adventure, romance, magic, and Norse myth and shows that some Fates are worth fighting for, especially when the Norns get involved. It's been two years since light-elf brothers Aramis and Søren fought beside Anya in Russia. The Álfr mountain city of Svetilo is safe once more, but their books and relics are still scattered on the supernatural black market. When Aramis gets a lead on a book of magic, he and Søren decide to investigate and find more than they bargained for. Librarian Asta is still grieving over the death of her mother. All she wants to do is hide at the University of Oslo, unravel the mysteries of the strange book she inherited, and hang out with Tyra-the cool Norwegian cousin she never knew she had. The last thing she wants is to help arrogant Dr. Søren Madsen work on his book, no matter how good-looking he is, but she doesn't want to get fired so she reluctantly agrees. Søren knows Asta is hiding something and when they are attacked by dark elves, he and Aramis will stop at nothing to learn the truth about the two mysterious women. But Tyra has a past of her own, and she'll do anything to protect Asta's secrets, even if it means siding with the dangerous light-elf brothers in a deadly war of dark and light.

Cheshire is perfect for fans of suspense and forbidden love stories.

Eliza -- Being the daughter of the sheriff might sound nice to most people. But they don’t know what my father is truly like. All they see is the mask he wears.

Until I’ve finally had enough… my daring attempt to leave home lands me in the arms of the VP of the Underland MC… and something tells me there’s no safer place to be.

Cheshire -- As the VP of the Underland MC, and former military, I’m no stranger to dangerous situations. When my club discovers the local sheriff is corrupting the town of Warren, I know we need to step in. Human trafficking and abuse are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the sheriff and his henchmen. But the one thing I never expected to find was love -- especially with the sheriff’s innocent daughter. I’ll make sure to take the bastard down, not only for the town of Warren, but for Eliza. I never want to see fear in her eyes again.

#BookReview: Somewhere to Stay (Someone, Somewhere #1) by Grace Turner

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

How long can a person resist temptation? Especially when it’s living under the same roof.

Theo Wilde had nowhere to go. A junior in college with no money to his name, he had no choice but to take his best friend, Ryder Calaway, up on his offer: to stay with him and his mom in Ryder’s childhood home. 

The idyllic suburban neighborhood was the last place Theo expected to end up. And the last place he wanted to be. 

Until her.

Natalie Calaway didn’t hesitate when her son asked if his best friend could stay with them for an indefinite period of time. All she knew was his name—Theo—and that he had nowhere else to go. Still, she wouldn’t say no.

Until she laid eyes on the man who invaded her house and realized she probably should have. 

Two seconds in, and she already regretted her decision. Especially when Ryder receives the internship offer of a lifetime across the country. Leaving Theo and Natalie living alone. 

And alone is a scary place to be. 

Alone together, it’s harder—nearly impossible—to resist the intense, ever-growing attraction between them. Even if it’s bound to end horribly. Even if it’s messy and forbidden and wrong.

#BookTour: Through the Storm by Ikwumma Ogbuagu @RABTBookTours

 

Nonfiction / Journal / Cancer

 

A breast cancer journal. I really wanted the journal to be full of life and colourful. The illustrations made it come to life, I find them so inspiring and I hope you do as well!

This book has been a genuine labor of love. It is full of purpose and hope. Everything you see is my vision come true. Cancer threatens everything you believed to be true, I had my chemo-port removed and flew to Atlanta later that day, on the flight back, I believe it was a 6AM flight, all I wanted to do was sleep for the 2 hour flight.  Instead, this idea for a bookmark started forming in my head. I figured lots of people read in waiting rooms and chemo suites etc., so it made sense to create bookmarks with little quips to lift the spirit during these waits. Well, the ideas were flowing so fast that I couldn’t write fast enough and I had no paper, so I wrote on the plane barf bag (I still have it). It became apparent I had a lot more to say than a bookmark could hold. I still plan to make bookmarks some day soon.

I have included prompts for questions to ask. Symptom trackers to report to providers. Daily prompts to do something intentionally kind and uplifting in small bites because some days are really tough and it becomes difficult to remember the amazing person you were prior to a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. I am truly proud of it. There is a prayer/meditation script written by one of my dearest friends who chose words that can resonate with anyone regardless of faith or the absence thereof and in any tough life situation. There is a feature to track daily water intake and so much more.
