VBT: A Shot At Love by Peggy Jaeger



A Shot At Love
by Peggy Jaeger
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:   Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Nothing’s impossible when love is on the menu. In Peggy Jaeger’s luscious series, the only thing more tempting than a delicious meal is a truly delectable romance . . .
Look for exclusive recipes in each book!

Photographer Gemma Laine is looking for arresting faces on the streets of Manhattan when her camera captures something shocking—a triple murder. In that moment, she becomes a target for the mob—and a top priority for a very determined, breathtakingly handsome, FBI special agent. With deadlines to meet and photo shoots on her calendar, Gemma chafes at the idea of protection, but every moment she spends under his watchful eye is a temptation to lose herself in his muscular arms . . .

With two of his men and one crucial witness dead, Special Agent Kyros Pappandreos can’t afford to be distracted. But Gemma is dazzling—and her connection to Kandy Laine’s high-profile cooking empire makes her an especially easy mark for some very bad people. Keeping her safe is much more pleasure than business, but as the heat between them starts to sizzle, Ky is set to investigate whether they have a shot at love . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt Two:
Dressed in similar sweats to what he’d worn the morning before, his body bathed in gleaming sweat, Ky pummeled one of the suspended bags. His hands were wrapped with white gauze, his arms toned and taunt as he executed each strike with perfect precision and technique.
Gemma stopped on the final riser and watched him batter the bag, fists moving with swift, defined actions, the jabs fast and hard, the recoils even faster.
Shoulders raised, elbows tight, hands balled and up blocking his cheeks and jaw line, he threw a right jab, left, then two rights, all aimed high, and a final forward thrust left, lower on the bag, his knees bending to give him balance.
Gemma wanted to race back to her room, grab her camera and capture the scene before her.


Kyros Pappandreos was the epitome, the very definition of a natural born fighter. Distinctly male, uniquely the warrior, his body moved with the grace of a panther, the stealth of a tiger stalking its prey, and the accuracy of a cobra striking. There was something so sensual, so primal, so animalistic about him, she knew she had to photograph him just this way.
She’d capture him in slow motion first, his tight fist connecting with his target, the sweat of exertion flying from his forehead. Then, she’d move to rapid fire, the image blurring with the speed of his hits. A pugilist, enigmatic, tough, and hard bodied, the bulging muscles and corded sinew in his arms distended with his action, outlined and bathed in the shiny moisture pouring from him.
Ky repeated the moves in the same series of strikes three more times before dropping his hands to his thighs.
He swiped at his forehead with the back of his hand, his breathing hard, but not labored, and turned.

Interview with Peggy Jaeger
1. What is your favorite part of this book and why? The moment when Gemma starts to see Ky as something other than an arrogant, cold FBI agent.
Gemma is being held in a safe house by FBI Special Agent Kyros Pappandeos and his partner John Winters. One morning, Gemma decides to work out in the basement gym. She rises early, thinking everyone else is asleep. As she walks down the steps to the basement, she sees Ky working a punching bag suspended from the ceiling. In that moment, she begins to see that his external, cool and composed persona houses a hotbed of emotions. As she watches him, unobserved, she sees the coiled tension filtering through his body as he lets out all his feelings and demons on the bag. Even though he is fully clothed, Gemma sees him standing naked before her – metaphorically ( he is clothed, after all!) and is entranced with the dichotomy of him. Cool, logical and emotionally contained on the outside; hot, feral, and blistering on this inside. I loved this scene because it proves the adage to me that you can’t  know what a book is about by just looking at its cover. You need to read the pages, get between the lines, to know the true story.

2. If you could spend time with a character from your book whom would it be? And what would you do during that day?
I’d really like to spend a day with Gemma’s friend Rick Bannerman. He was a sniper when he was in the military and he’s the one who taught Gemma how to shoot. I’d love to go out to a shooting range for the day with him and have him instruct me in the nuances of gun play.

3. If you could have been the author of any book ever written, which book would you choose?
Wow! What a question!!! Hands down and without any other thoughts it would be PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. That book set the bar for the next 300 years of romance writing.

4. Are your characters based off real people or did they all come entirely from your imagination?
While I may take a characteristic or a turn of a phrase from a family member or a friend every now and then, all my people are cooked up in my brain.

5. What made you want to become a writer?
I don’t necessarily think I had a choice in the matter. At 6 I was given an old fashioned key and lock diary. Instead of writing about myself - because I considered myself completely boring – I started writing fictional stories in it. The stories were all about a lonely, only child who was overweight and had divorced parents she didn’t see much of. It’s funny when I think about it now, but I actually was writing about myself back them, only using third person to do so! What are those old saws?  Write what you know? And, Art imitates life? Yeah. That was me back then. I don’t think I ever had a choice in whether I wanted to become a writer or not. I just….was.
Thanks so much for having me today! It was a pleasure.

Blurb Blitz Tour: A Simple Wish by Charlotte Hubbard



A Simple Wish
by Charlotte Hubbard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE:   Amish/Inspirational Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Making rugs for the Simple Gifts store has taught Loretta Riehl that an unassuming pattern can reveal surprising depth. People, too, have a way of defying first impressions. Drew Detweiler came to Willow Ridge under a cloud, but the  handsome craftsman has gained the community's respect for his upholstery skills and commitment to making amends for his mistakes. As her new brother-in-law's twin, he's joining the family for dinners and Sunday visits, and Loretta can't deny enjoying his attentions.

If only  her dat were willing to let a little joy into his life. Cornelius Riehl grows sterner with each day, and Drew suspects there's more to his moods than missing Loretta's late mamm. Hoping to fulfill Loretta's wish to live in a  peaceful, happy home again, Drew sets out to learn the truth. It's a journey that will bring to light painful realities—but also the chance to forge a new, honest, and loving future together...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excerpt Two:
When Loretta looked across the road, she noticed that one of the Detweiler brothers was coming out of the stable in an open buggy pulled by a tall black Percheron. Asa and Drew, identical twins, owned matching horses, so it was impossible to tell which one of them was heading down the long lane toward the road.
She held her breath. Was it her imagination, or was the driver of that buggy looking right at her?
“I—I’ve never forgiven myself for turning my back on the love we shared, Loretta,” Will said again. He stopped the swing so suddenly that Loretta’s long, loose strips of rug fabric fluttered to the porch floor. “We both knew we had a love that would see us through a lifetime together. I was so upset about your Dad splitting us up that I didn’t realize Molly was coming on to me too fast, too soon,” he lamented, gazing at her with the soft brown eyes of a begging dog. “I am so sorry, Loretta.”
Loretta was feeling more unsettled by the second, because Will’s soul baring was leading her down a path she no longer wanted to follow. How could she tell him she wasn’t interested in rekindling their relationship? It would break his heart and depress him further while he still mourned the death of his wife and their misguided marriage.


Sighing, she chose her words carefully. “God has a reason for everything He does—every stumbling block He places in our paths—”



“But I see the world so clearly now!” Will blurted out. “I’ve prayed over these things night and day since Molly died and left me with her six-month-old twins. And while I never wished such a horrible death from cancer would take her, it gave me hope that you and I could—”
Loretta stood up, dropping her unfinished rug onto the swing between them. As the Detweiler buggy approached the road, coming toward her, she realized that Drew surely must be driving because Asa and Edith were inseparable—they went everywhere together and took the twins with them, in their baskets. Her pulse quickened. Drew was gazing right at her, pulling out of the Detweilers’ lane and stopping the buggy on the roadside in front of her.
“Loretta, I’ve got a gut steady job now, farming for Luke and Ira Hooley,” Will was saying, oblivious to the buggy. “Soon I’ll be planting a vineyard for them—can you imagine that? And I’ll be asking the Brenneman brothers to build us a house—”
“Hey there, Miss Loretta!” Drew called out from the buggy. “I have an errand to run. Want to come along?”
For a moment, Loretta felt lower than a worm, but she couldn’t allow Will to believe he could take up where they’d left off. He hadn’t heard a word she’d said as she’d gently countered his suggestions. Loretta nipped her lip, glancing apologetically at the handsome young man who’d gone through such an ordeal these past several months. Without a word, she hurried down the porch steps and across the front yard toward Drew Detweiler.

My Review
Charlotte Hubbard has done it again. I love her Amish inspired books and series. I normally d not read this type of book. I actually read books about as opposite as you can get. Paranormal is my usually genre. I first encountered Charlotte's book through another tour from Goddess Fish and I am so glad I did. When I chose the book during that tour I was hooked. Now I read everything by Charlotte I can get my hands on. 

 Charlotte's books are clean, wholesome, loving stories. They are written about the Amish but are not filled with religion like some Amish stories I have read by other authors. Each of her books I have read take your heart and head on the full gambit of emotions. You fall in love with her characters and feel like they are real friends by the end of the book. 

 A Simple Wish is the 2nd book in the Simple Gifts Series. It can be read as a stand alone but it is a continuation in a way of the first book, since the characters are the same with a few new additions. In the first book of the series Edith Riehl was the star. In this book her sister Loretta is the main character. 

 Loretta has decided it is time she takes a stand on her own life. She makes and sells rugs at a friends gift store. She has decided to also work for the store even after her Grouchy Father has forbade it. She also is starting a relationship with her sister's husband's twin brother Drew.

 Drew if you read the first book was kind of a snake. But he has redeemed himself since coming to live in the small community. He has shown himself as a changed and man and has gained the respect of the community, and the eye of Loretta. 

 A few things and a few people want to stand in their way of happiness including Will. Will is Loretta's ex-Fiance.  

 Ok that's all your getting out of me. Go read the book!!

The Beautiful Dead by Jun Prince blitz


The Beautiful Dead
Jun Prince
Publication date: September 22nd 2017
Genres: Fantasy, New Adult, Paranormal

Yubin knows she’s different than the other girls in the pop group SIITY. Yes, they all got sucked into the same machine, giving up schooling and signing ridiculously long contracts before anyone knew if they’d be successful, but that’s how pop stars are made in Korea. Yubin is supposed to be thankful for that, but she isn’t. She doesn’t even like the girls she performs with.

She’s more connected to her former schoolmate Jieun, even though all they ever do is text. Over the last two months, Jieun has become her confidant and best friend, connecting Yubin to the real world in a way she desperately needs. Now that SIITY is going to appear on the reality show The Incredible Race: Asia, Yubin will need that connection more than ever, which is why she’s devastated to discover Jieun has been dead five years and is actually haunting her.

If that weren’t enough, Yubin’s not the only SIITY member with issues. Rena’s father is emotionally abusive. Somi has a learning disability, and after a near death experience, Tae-eun becomes a nine-tailed fox woman. The only way they’ll survive the show, each other, and the supernatural currents buffeting them is to work together and win the hearts of their fans. Because if they don’t, they have nothing to go back to even if they survive what’s trying to kill them.

EXCERPT:

She was still unaccustomed to spirit combat, but a small tempest swirled in the underworld around her. Humans too felt the wind she created, their muscles tightened, and more than a few quickened their pace to evade the chill. Scraps of litter spiraled over real world concrete, and whips of black hair whirled in an angry nimbus around Jieun’s face.

The shadowman looked up. She’d expected empty pits of darkness where eyes should have been, but when the creature ceased feeding, a set of all too human brown eyes that now lacked eyelids appeared in the monster’s head. They contrasted with the rest of its body in that while the majority of the creature lurked in shadow that was darker than everything else in the Dead World, these two spheres burned as if absorbing all the spirit light that should have detailed the shadowman’s body. The flow of spirit energy that connected its ugly mouth to the girl stopped, and the ghost realized that she held the creature’s attention.

The shade of an eerily human face like black paint on even blacker canvas contorted in what could have just as easily been taken for triumph or rage. It unleashed an otherworldly snarl that was anything but human and charged Jieun. Though it had a man’s body, it rushed in an inhuman lope on all fours that seemed more like an animal. Jieun darted out of the way—it wasn’t a conscious thing, and the instinct may well have saved her dead life. If she hadn’t known before, alarm she felt made her certain; ghosts could die a second death.

She whirled after the attack expecting the shadowman behind her but it had vanished. She sighed in relief. Then, without warning she saw the black shape leap from the roof of a magazine stand just outside the subway station. She cried out in alarm, and before its feet had touched the ground its giant mouth fastened on her shoulder. The weight of the attack forced her to the ground, and in a moment of dawning horror she realized it was impossible to escape.

She shrieked. The pain was beyond anything she imagined possible for a spirit to experience. It wasn’t like trailing her fingers through the wall, or even passing completely through a physical object. Those pains were an affirmation of life, cold shocks that, while not comfortable, served as a reminder that she was still in some sense alive. The feeling of her spirit body being torn apart by the shadowman’s teeth seemed as if the devil had run away with God’s scalpel and used it to peel thick ribbons of her soul away from creation.

Though the shadowman looked like and had similar features to a man, it made low growls that were far distant from human speech. It wasn’t a language at all – if it had been she’d have instinctually understood it. It shook its head like a starved wolf and further tore into the fabric of firelines that composed her spirit body. Its breath smelled of rotten flesh, and she could hear the pulse of bestial rhythmic snorting in her ears. She needed a weapon. She didn’t have one. This was it. Jieun would die… this time for real.

He was a nameless guy in a bar--a man Grace couldn't get out of her head...

A week later, she came home to find him sweaty and shirtless with a tape measure in hand, remodeling her loft. As a Parker-King, she's not allowed to want someone like Noah Dalton. She's sick of her life, though. Sick of the rules of being a Parker-King. She wants something more, even if it isn't forever. Somewhere in history there was that one time where hot, no-strings-attached sex didn't end badly, right? Finding comfort in the arms of a former SEAL is easy, not falling for one . . . not so much.

Noah left the military and moved to New York for one reason: his daughter. Not for some uptight businesswoman--a Manhattan elitist. So when Grace offers him the kind of relationship that no hot-blooded man can turn down, he should say no. And when her seemingly put-together life spins out of control, and his instincts to protect and save kick in, he should turn away. But he doesn't.

Can two people from different worlds really live in the moment, knowing they're on borrowed time, or is someone bound to get hurt?

Excerpt

A splash of light shines beneath the door at the end of the hall. I swear I didn’t leave anything on this morning.
I touch the knob, a slight tremble moving down my arm and to my hand as I think back to the hotel in Greece.
My stomach tightens and burns, and my pulse skates to a faster speed. I slowly twist the handle, but my mind is protesting, begging me to run. My body is stiff and my muscles taut.
Run!
I should’ve run that night in Athens. Why’d I open that door? Why am I opening this one?
I inhale a deep breath, holding it—and it’s like the air in the room cocoons me and I can’t exhale.
I’m expecting the worst. Athens, part two. Another incident.
But once the door is wide-open, I see a man crouched over a wooden beam on the floor, a tape measurer in hand. The guy’s shirtless. His tanned, muscled back has a slight sheen of sweat down his spine.
He’s got to be part of the new remodel team I hired last weekend.
I bring a hand to my chest and try to calm down. To get my mind off Greece and back in New York.
“Who the hell are you?”
He’s a carpenter, right? I just want confirmation.
My hand goes inside my purse, and I search for my phone just in case I need to call the cops.
The man releases his tape measure and it retracts and snaps, falling with a thud to the floor. He slowly lifts his hands as if he can actually see me and I have a gun on him.
He rises to his feet. “Sorry. I work for Bella. She gave me the key.” He turns toward me.
My lungs deflate as if they’ve been poked with a needle, and I’m losing oxygen fast. It’s not because of Athens.
It’s because it’s…him.
Military Guy. Unless I’m wrong about him being military.
I’m never wrong.
“You.” His brows pull together and his hands fall to his sides.
I remove my hand from my purse and drop the bag to the floor. I’m more comfortable now that I know the shirtless guy isn’t some psychopath but in fact a construction worker.
But it’s the hot guy from the bar, which is still pretty damn bad.
“You’re Grace? I wasn’t expecting—”
“And what were you expecting?” I fold my arms and remain standing just inside the living area. He’s near the wall of windows overlooking the city on the other side of the room.
“I guess I pictured Grace as someone twice your age with a lot of cats.” A sheepish grin sweeps across his face.
I open my palms and glance to the left then right. “Do you see any cats?”
His smile deepens.
“And does my name sound old?” Maybe it does. The hyphen doesn’t help.
“Well, I don’t think that anymore. Now looking at you—Grace fits.”
I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean, and I don’t bother to ask. I blink and try to figure out what the hell is going on.
“Are you stalking me?” I ask instead, though I know this must be crazy stupid luck that he’s now remodeling my loft. Of the millions of people in the city…

Excerpt 1:

As I step under the
spray, the water hits my face in hard pellets. It feels good. Begrudgingly, I
reach down to grab a bar of soap. A sharp pain shoots down the left side of my
arm. For a moment, I feel paralyzed. My immediate thought is to yell for help,
but I can’t find my voice. I try to take a deep breath, but can’t. I crumple to
the tub and feel a strange, tingling sensation zip through my fingertips.

“Mom!” I let out a
bloodcurdling squeal in a voice I don’t even recognize.

 My mother runs into the bathroom and slams the
shower door open.

“What is it?” She is
the color of her bleached white towels. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s my heart!
Something is wrong. Call the hospital.”

“I’ll be right back!” She
runs out and I wait, helpless, as the running water beats down on my back. A
few seconds later, she returns, holding the phone, her hands shaking as she
dials 911. She soaks her sleeve reaching into the shower to turn off the
running water. The phone is on speaker and is wedged tightly between her face
and neck as she pulls me from the tub.

“911, what’s the
emergency?”

 “It’s my daughter! I think she’s having a
heart attack! I live at 42 Chauncy Way.”

“We have an address for
you, Mam. An ambulance will there right away. Is your daughter breathing?”

“Yes, she . . . she has
a heart condition.” Kate rips our “show” towel off the rack and drapes it
around my arms and neck. She drags my limp body to the couch. I wish I had the
strength to help her.

“Ma’am, do you have any
aspirin in the house?” the voice on the line asks.


“That’s
not going to help!” Kate shouts. “I’ll wait for the ambulance, but I need to
call her doctor now!” Kate ends the call.

Interview with Danielle R. Mani

 Where do you get inspiration for your stories?
I am inspired by the many paranormal and supernatural shows that I have been watching since I was a kid. I also read a lot of non-fiction books, especially books that pertain to life after death. 

 How did you do research for your book?
The protagonist in my book has a severe heart condition and requires a heart transplant, so I conducted research on heart transplants and organ donor recipients. I also researched cases of people who experienced paranormal events after their transplant. 

 Do you have another profession besides writing?
Yes, I was an Account Executive at a public relations firm before changing careers to become a teacher. I taught elementary school for about seven years before leaving to start a family. I am currently a freelance writer and homemaker raising four kids and four fur babies (two cats and two dogs). 

 If you could go back in time, where would you go?
I would like to travel to the late 1800’s/early 1900’s. I am secretly obsessed with Little House on the Prairie and love the simplicity of their lifestyle. I adore animals and would love to live on a farm spending some of my day riding horses, fishing, and making things by hand. 

 What is your next project?
I am working on another paranormal story (since it’s what I love) and I’m currently developing the idea for a really surprising plot twist!

Big Ant Plush Steering Wheel Cover (Black)




I live in Florida and to me some form of a cloth steering wheel cover is a must have. Year round when my car is setting in the sun for more then a few minutes it gets to hot for me to touch. I can see it working the same up north and in the winter the steering wheel being to cold to hold on to.  When I saw this fuzzy steering wheel cover from Big Ant I decided I need to try it.

When it arrived I took it out of the box and the zip top bag inside and immediately fell in love with how soft it is. It's like holding a stuffed animal. It's not very padded but the long fuzziness of it is still wonderful and does give some padding. It fits tightly on y 15 inch steering wheel. They also sell a 14 inch cover for smaller steering wheels.

I put the steering wheel cover on myself and I have a problem with my right hand and do not have a lot of use or strength but was still able to get it on by myself. If both hands worked well I probably wouldn't of had a problem getting it on. To put it on either start at the top or bottom of the steering wheel and stretch it over. That's it. No tool needed and no lacing it on.

Check it out on Amazon
