She’ll tear the galaxy apart to save them…
Captured by a special, secret government agency, Alinthia is now facing another new reality—one where she’s separated from the four guys who have come to mean so much to her. But she has faith in Dane, Coop, Maddox, and Beck, and she refuses to give up hope.
Until she discovers General Arantu and his despicable daughter, have imprisoned her protectors and time is running out to save them.
Desperate to escape the government’s clutches and rescue her loved ones, Alinthia finds unlikely allies in the strangest of places. With their help, she finally understands what is required to assume full control of her powers and fulfil her legacy.
However, the more she uncovers about herself and her abilities, the more she understands how fragile the line is between good and evil, darkness and light, right and wrong.
Will she make the ultimate sacrifice in the name of love, or are there some lines that can’t ever be crossed?
The third book in the enchanting Alinthia series is intended for readers aged seventeen and older. This is upper YA/NA crossover reverse harem paranormal romance which gets steamier as the series develops. This is not a standalone read. Full-length novel.

EXCERPT:
Cooper
I come to, groaning as several of my senses are assaulted at once. A putrid, decaying smell tickles my nostrils, and I’d probably puke if I was human and capable of vomiting. Moans, cries, and screams filter into the room from somewhere outside. Shivers tiptoe up my spine as a blast of cold air sweeps over me, and my arms ache like a bitch. A dull pounding in my head and pain burning at the back of my eyes make seeing difficult, but I push through my discomfort, forcing myself back to consciousness.
Slowly, my vision clears, and my surroundings come into focus.
Mad Dog and Beck are still unconscious,” Dane says into my mind.
Where are we, and how the fuck did we get here?” The last thing I remember is being ambushed by Alandra and a bunch of goons outside Kylie’s house. I put up the mother of all fights, but I was outnumbered, and they had the element of surprise. It’s embarrassing how easily they overpowered me after that.
My head spins around, my eyes scanning the small cell. The walls are exposed stone, and the floors are coarse black slate. It’s dirty, cold, and unforgiving under my butt. There is little natural light in the room, the only glimmer of brightness trickling in through a small, open window above my head.
Beck, Maddox, and Dane are all stripped to their boxers, arms elevated, and wrists bound together, chained to the stone wall. I look down at myself, confirming I’m in the same predicament. “Where’s Alinthia?” The connection that bonds my brothers and I to our girl thrashes anxiously about, trying and failing to locate our missing piece. “Where is she, Dane?
It’s not good, Coop, and it’s all my fault.

Forever in Starlight by Susan Mac Nicol
Publisher – Boroughs Publishing Group

Bennett and Cassie are at it again, this time looking the ultimate challenge in the eye and deciding, after everything they’ve been through, why not?

Blurb

Bennett and Cassie's story comes to a fairy tale end.

Bennett and Cassie are at it again, this time looking the ultimate challenge in the eye and deciding, after everything they’ve been through, why not

AFTER ALL THIS TIME

Some people are meant to be together, even if they find each other through tragedy. When Bennett Saville's brother jumped off a bridge and landed on Cassandra Wallace's car, their lives become intertwined in a way they never wanted to unravel. But so much has happened, and most of it would have been soul destroying if they hadn't had each other. And now, after all these years, they are ready to take the final step to declare their love, but Bennett's star is rising fast, and being a famous actor with a hit movie might undo all the trust they have built their love on.

ALWAYS

Cassie isn't the jealous, insecure type, but things have changed, and so has Bennett. Coming into his prime as a man and as a highly regarded actor, Cassie, ten years older than her lover, begins to worry that their foundation is shaky, and that she can't compete with the jiggly twenty year-olds who throw themselves in Bennett's path. What she can't see is herself through Bennett's eyes. If she could, she would know always and forever is all he ever wanted with his Cass.

TO CATCH A RISING STAR 

Unconventional though she may be, Cassandra Wallace leads the life of an average Londoner, from blind dates to rush hour traffic. Then, along comes Bennett Saville. Charming, erudite, the up-and-coming actor is like the hero of a romantic movie. He sets Cassie afire like he has the stage and screen and defies the tragedy that brought them together. From the tips of his Armani loafers to their scorching hot first kiss, he’s perfect. Only, he’s ten years younger and from the upper class, and those emerald eyes invite dangerous secrets. The world is full of hungry leading ladies, and every show must have its villain. Yet a true romance will always find its happy ending.

Bennett Saville is sexy. At the peak of his career, the English star of stage and screen is everything a woman might desire, as fiancĂ©e Cassandra Wallace well knows. Together they’ve seen the world, from L.A. to Shangri La, yet shadows persist even in the spotlight. At home they face lust, greed, and ghosts from their pasts—and that’s off stage. There is also “The Val”. The aged London theatre holds mystery four centuries old, cast in starlight and waiting to be revealed. Intensely personal, impossibly passionate, the play must go on…and Cassie and Bennett must face it together.

Oslo Spies by SJ Slagle

Historical fiction
Date Published: 9/1/2018

 photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

Norway is a destroyed country at the end of World War II. After a relentless German occupation, Norwegians have lost more than imports and exports, everyday goods and services, communications and social events. Norway lost more than 10,000 men and women in the resistance as well as in slave labor and concentration camps scattered throughout Europe. Norway lost hundreds of teachers and religious leaders who died resisting Vidkun Quisling, the head of the Norwegian Nazi Party. Quisling’s demands for Nazi indoctrination to be taught in schools and churches forced teachers and pastors to quit their posts and work underground. Perhaps worst of all, Norwegian children were deprived of their childhoods, a most precious commodity.

It seems a horrendous assignment for Phyllis Bowden, a young woman in military intelligence assigned to the Office of the Military Attache in the American Embassy in Oslo. Her official tasks include intelligence duties and finding families of lost loved ones. These duties, as tough as they may be, pale when she’s faced with something that occurs outside the office. One night Phyllis finds a runaway child in a cafĂ© bathroom one night, a little girl labeled a quisling because her Norwegian mother married a German officer. A contentious purge has overtaken the country and quislings are not to be tolerated. But the girl has been tortured and abused by the time Phyllis finds her. She's faced with the conflict of doing the right thing or doing what the government dictates. Either way could have international complications.

Meanwhile the love of her life, Joe Schneider, an Mi5 agent, has disappeared in Romania while on assignment and it's a race to find out what's happened to him. Between nerve-wracking tasks in her job, trying to decide the fate of the little girl and being heartbroken over Joe’s disappearance, Phyllis is in for the struggle of her young life and intelligence career.

Glitter Crunch Box




The Glitter Crunch Box I received it an Italy themed box. Inside the box is some amazing items. When you open the box there is a card telling you what is in the box. Then your remove the paper shreds to get to the good stuff. I do have to say this box is package very well. Nothing seemed to be out of place at all. The box decorated box is the shipping box.

In the box I received a one pond bag of Organic GMO Free Farfalle pasta made in Italy. There is an expiration date on the back as well so you know it is fresh. Then I received a package of Balsamic & Roasted Garlic Veggie Roaster Seasoning Blend. This package will season 3 pounds of veggies. There is a large bar of Peach, Fig Blossom, and Rose soap that smells amazing. There are 2 ornaments int he package as well. One is a hand painted glass Salami. The other ornament is a Italian Santa hand painted and made by Joy To the World. And last but not least a recipe card for Easy Tuscany Tomato Sauce, which will go great with the Farfalle.

Glitter Crunch Box is a subscription service but you can also buy boxes individually. They have a very large assortment of boxes to choose from everything from Coffee to this Italy box. These are so much fun to receive and has some really great and useful items. Get these for yourself or they would make an awesome gift.

Kids Swim Goggles By Marco Polo



These kids swim goggles by Marco Polo are the cutest swim goggles I have seen. These are the frogs, they are a very bright green each goggle is shaped like a frog. The eye whole is the frog mouth. There s also a gold crown on top of the frogs heads. These glasses have a very stretchy and adjustable head strap. They are made out of a very soft rubber like material on the front and are said to be specially designed to be 100% leak resistant and keep your child’s eyes dry at all times. They are very strong and durable so will not fall apart 5 minutes after being in the pool, ocean, or lake.

I love the unique design of these. They have the green frogs, pink crabs, and blue fish in their Amazon store to choose from. My grand daughter is 6 and my Grand son is 4 and they fit both of them very well. These also come in a plastic case like packaging. You do not have to cut the package just pull it apart and it will also close back up. It is great for storing the goggles when not in use.

INNX Quilted Microfiber/Suede sofa protector




 I received the INNX Couch Covers for pets. It is Made of Quilted Microfiber Suede. It’s made for a couch with the demotions of 74"H x 69"W with a armrest 23.5"H x 20"W which is a pretty standard couch size.

We have a microfiber couch and until I washed the cover it would not stay on. It could be a fluke but after a few washings it still stays on. Also if you do need to wash it I used cold water with tide pods and scent boost and then I dried it on medium heat since I don’t have air dry and nothing came out messed up and I’ve washed it 2 times as of now.

I like that this cover has the little tubes that help hold the cover on however the arm ones don’t seem to help but that could be because my cat likes getting under it and my dogs like sitting on the arms of the couch and then sliding down. Another thing that I like about the cover is it's very well made. Our dog’s being very young they scratch and chew on everything to include the couch cover and so far they have not hurt the cover (or the couch). It could be a fluke but it seems to heat up faster than a lot of couch covers  I’ve had but it wont be a bad thing in the winter just not very good during the summer.
