Blurb

"It
doesn't matter how far she runs.
This
is my forest, and I always catch my prey."

As a
Loxley, I know the rules, I just never took them seriously.
I only knew
when I finally brought a girl here it would be special.
She would
be special.
And Harper
is... perfect.

Now we're
out here, alone, and something's gone terribly wrong.
I broke the
rules, I'm losing myself,
and I'm
afraid she's going to pay the price.

I need to
fight this. I need to protect Harper.
We're meant
to be, and I know she feels the same.
I don't
want to hurt her but... I have to claim her.
I have to
make her mine.
Before I do
something I can't take back.

Pureauty Night Cream



I absolutely love this Night Cream from Pureauty. It is a very light cream and does not leave a greasy or oily feel on my skin. I could feel the difference after just one use. My face and neck feel so much softer. I have caught myself touching my cheek and being amazed at how soft it feels. Even my fingers from applying the cream are reaping the benefits.

There is a very light scent to the cream but it dissipates in just seconds after applying the cream. My skin drinks the cream in almost immediately too.

The jar is a 1 ounce or 30 ML. It is a plastic jar with a screw off lid. IT only takes a tiny amount to do my whole face and neck. This single jar will last a long time with the tiny amount it takes.

The main ingredients in this night creams formula are Peony Root Extract, Vitamin C, and Lavender Oil. The scent has a hint of the lavender oil. But like I said it pretty much disappears as soon as the cream dries into your skin.

As I am getting older I am more worried about wrinkles. I do have some fine lines starting and am trying to head them off. I am thinking at this point this cream is going to help me with that. I have only been using it about a week, but so far I love it and it only takes seconds to apply.


I either received this product for free or at a discounted price and have chosen to leave this honest and unbiased review.

SNEAK PEEKS:

Cowboys & Thunderstorms – Jacqueline Winters

“Did you need me to help with something, Lina?”

Only Grams’ favorite hands could call her by her first name. How Ty had wriggled his way up on that list in the few short months he’d worked at the Holbrook Ranch was still a mystery to Kate. She blamed it on that sickeningly sweet charm he wielded so well.

“As a matter of fact, Kate needs you to ride with her out to the north pasture to look for Melvin.”

Ty chuckled. “Never should’ve named that calf.”

Kate shot him a glare, quite certain the depth of her revulsion was readable. “Really, Shadow and I can handle this. Can’t we, girl?” She hoped Shadow would let out a bark in confirmation, but the dog merely glanced between the three—either waiting for direction or to see if anyone was hiding a treat in their hands.

“I’ll come with you,” Ty said, tone suggesting his mind was already made up. “Storm’s close. Better for you not to go out there alone, Kate. You might get stranded.”

“Oh, he’s right!” Grams clapped her hands against her jean-clad thighs. “Wait here a quick minute.” She scurried into the house before Kate could object.

“Stranded?” She narrowed her eyes at Ty. “I have this under control. It’s just a calf.”

“It’s Melvin.”

Love on the Run – Lorana Hoopes

“Graham, this is Ginny. She’s just arrived in town, and she needs a job. A little birdie told me you were looking for some help.”

“I see.” Graham looked at the woman across from him. She appeared clean but mousy. Her eyes flicked only briefly to his before dropping again to her lap. “Do you have any restaurant experience, Ginny?”

A slender hand reached up and tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ears. “Um, a little. I worked at a fast food restaurant when I first graduated high school.” Her voice was soft and hesitant.

“And how long ago was that?”

Her eyes met his briefly. “Six years ago.”

“Have you worked anywhere since?” Tia asked as if hoping she might get more out of the girl.

The girl shook her head once. “I haven’t been allowed to.”

“What do you mean you haven’t been allowed to?” Tia took the words right out of Graham’s mind.

Ginny looked up and met Tia’s questioning eyes. “For the last few years, I’ve been living with someone. He didn’t let me get a job.”

Goodreads / Amazon

EXCERPT:

Surprisingly, her mind settled on men. It had been twenty-two years since she had been single, and at least twenty since Randy had started policing where her eyes lingered. It had been a long damn time since she’d had a man make her feel… well—anything, other than revulsion. So, alone in her bathtub, she allowed her thoughts to go where they willed.

Like to the dimple in Ben’s left cheek when he had smiled at her that afternoon. Ben was cinnamon-spiced apple pie, with a generous serving of cream. Comforting, clean-cut. Wholesome.

If Ben was apple pie, then Randy was wilted bitter greens. Hard to swallow, and no matter how much you tolerated, it didn’t ever seem like there was less of it on your plate.

Declan was something else altogether. She replayed the way he’d swooped her up in his arms like she was as light as a dried leaf. She remembered the strength in his grip when he’d held her on the playground. He was full-bodied whiskey, with a hint of chili powder.

A deep exhale escaped her at the thought. She slid her hands over her abdomen, suds skimming down her legs as the candlelight cast enchanting shadows across the scene.

And then she was in the dark.

Rosie froze before realizing that the breeze must have snuffed out her candle. She sighed into the darkness, not wanting to break the spell she had been under and get out of the bath yet.

She explored her body like it was a city she’d once known well but had lost her way in recently. Strangely, her touch didn’t feel like her own touch. Her hands felt somehow larger and rougher, even though that was impossible. Her mind focused on a crooked smile, smoky jade green eyes, and a head of shaggy ginger hair that she longed to pull.

When her release came, she felt like she was coming alive again. All the tension of the past few years—leaving Randy, worrying for her daughter and herself—melted into a mellowness that she’d never known. She sighed again, but it was a lighter and more contented sound than before. Rosie ran her hands through the cooling water and then up over her face. The sensation was liberating, and she felt more like herself than she had for decades.

And when Rosie opened her eyes, the candle was burning once more.

Reaper's Wrath by Jamie Begley

Title: Reaper's Wrath
Series: Road to Salvation: A Last Rider's Trilogy #2
Author: Jamie Begley 
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 30, 2020


Have you ever wondered how soulmates fall in love after they meet?

One touch was all it took to pierce through the hatred, the revenge, the payback that kept Reaper’s sanity in check. Unable to bear to be touched, Ginny breezed through his safeguards, stirring the flames of desire and trying to make him believe love was possible again, while his tortured soul just wanted to find the peace he had promised himself once all his enemies were there to keep him company in hell.

One look was all it took for Ginny to recognize her soulmate. Now she was determined to show him that love, mercy, and forgiveness would bring the light back into his life. Her warrior was no longer fighting alone to battle his nightmares, and this Kentucky woman wasn’t afraid of stealing his heart and making it hers.

One love that would have to be strong enough to overcome Reaper’s biggest enemy—himself. Having lost faith in love, The Last Riders, and himself, it was only when Ginny committed a desperate selfless act of love that Reaper realized that, to save her, he was going to have to put his life on the line again. This time if he lost, not only would he lose Ginny, but the Last Riders forever.

How was he supposed to know his wrath could cost him everything?





NOTE: Available on all platforms for a limited time - will then go into Kindle Unlimited












"I was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work, and education.

​Taking after my mother, I've always loved to cook, and became pretty good if I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations.

For now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children, my daughter is also an author, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books.

All my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best.”
