Guest Author Annabeth Albert and Favorite Military Romance Books
Greetings! I’m so thrilled to be here celebrating the release of TIGHT QUARTERS which is book six in my Out of Uniform SEAL series. This series can be read in any order, but fans of the series have been waiting for Bacon’s book, as he first made minor appearances in both WHEELS UP and SQUARED AWAY. Bacon’s co-hero is a silver fox older journalist who gets to embed with his SEAL team. This book has more military/action scenes than some of the books in this series, and I loved doing the research Continue Reading
Mandi’s Monday Musings
I feel like I've been away from the romance community for way too long! Two weeks ago we went to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, one of my absolute favorite places to go. Several families join us and we do NOTHING for seven days, but sit on the beach. It's glorious. You would think I would have hours upon hours to read while sitting on the beach, but I never seemed to be able to pick up my Kindle for long. (I played a lot of Kan Jam and drank a lot of margaritas). I did read a bit of the Continue Reading

Happy Friday y’all! Having a holiday mid-week is equal parts awesome and not. I somehow managed to pick up a summer cold, but it has given me some time to catch up on some reads. The First Time at Firelight Falls by Julie Anne Long I am trying to work through my backlogged TBR and get through some review books. I picked up a while ago and finally started it. It had a super cute premise, single mom heroine, principal hero. I made it to 29% and finally DNF’ed. It wasn’t bad, but it felt like Continue Reading

Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Happy Day after July 4th! Holidays are great, aren’t they? But not in the middle of the week? All holidays that fall on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday should AUTOMATICALLY be observed on a Monday or Friday. I mean, seriously--how can you truly enjoy a holiday that falls on a Wednesday? Other than not having to wake up early or drive in morning traffic, a Wednesday holiday cannot be enjoyed fully. Just sayin’....... I have recently rediscovered my love of romantic suspense and Continue Reading
