RAK: THANK YOU (September)

Book Soulmates

How Big is your RAK?

I was very fortunate in the month of September to be offered two e-books I've been wanting to read:

Author: Jenna Petersen
Synopsis: An omnibus of Jenna Petersen's wildly popular "You Tell Me the Story" online interactive novellas.

In "Her Every Desire" Lady Jane asks her old friend Wesley to do a favor for her, seduce the fiance of the man she believes she loves. Instead he proposes that they pretend to be engaged to make the other man jealous and please Wesley's "dying" grandmother. But what starts as a pretended engagement leads to true feelings. And a choice that must be made that could change both their lives forever.

In "A Scandal to Keep", Felicity Ellis made a terrible decision that ruined her when she gave her innocence to a scoundrel. But after his death, his younger brother Gabriel inherits the title... and the sins of his brother and father. Felicity cannot believe the two brothers could be so different, but after they kiss, she finds herself entertaining more than just Gabriel's offer to make amends with a marriage of convenience.

Finally, in "A Woman Scorned", Madeline was humiliated and ruined after her engagement was broken. Now she is in the country helping her aunt with a difficult pregnancy when she is nearly run down by Nathan and his horse. He believes she is a servant and Maddie lets him continue that misconception. But they are from very different worlds, and by the time he realizes her deception, it may be too late.

Title: The Hanover Square Affair
Author: Ashley Gardner

Synopsis:  London, 1816

Cavalry captain Gabriel Lacey returns to Regency London from the Napoleonic wars, burned out, fighting melancholia, his career ended. His interest is piqued when he learns of a missing girl, possibly kidnapped by a prominent member of Parliament. Lacey's search for the girl leads to the discovery of murder, corruption, and dealings with a leader of the underworld. At the same time, he struggles with his own disorientation transitioning from a soldier's life to the civilian world, redefining his role with his former commanding officer, and making new friends--from the top of society to the street girls of Covent Garden.

Thank you to Dani from Ramblings from this Chick for the awesome wishlist books!!

True North Release and Contest!



So!  You know what comes out today?  Truth North by Christy Trujillo!  Yes Christy, author of the Maldito series (Emmy's Song, Emmy's Heart and Sarah's Fate) has a new book (that may or may not start a new series, she's being very coy the minx) about shifters this time.

Official Blurb:  k

We’ve all heard them, the never-ending comparisons our parents make of us to our siblings and those around us. Why can’t you be more ambitious, Sahar? Why can’t you be more like your uncle, Sahar? Why can’t you flip into animal form like everyone else, Sahar?

The small town of True North, Colorado is a serene and tranquil place if you happen to be a shapeshifter, which as it turns out, Sahar North is not. Though she’s the daughter of one of the most prominent families in town, she just doesn’t seem to fit in. Thanks to Dana, the Wicked Witch of the North, her junior year is sure to be one of utter misery and she’s counting the days to graduation when she can finally put this small town in her rear view mirror. When out of the blue, the alpha of the wolf pack, and her crush for like…ever, Cameron, starts to pay more attention to her and she manages to befriend the witch’s human cousin, Dean, Sahar doesn’t feel so alone and thinks she may just make it out of high school alive.

Of course, nothing is as it seems and when dead bodies start showing up in the woods, Sahar and her family partner with the pack to solve the mystery and will stumble upon a secret the town has kept for hundreds of years. Armed with this new knowledge, Sahar will fight for her family, fight for her town, and fight for her people because when you realize what you’re fighting for nothing can stop you…right?
To celebrate the release Christy is holding a contest to win a $15 Amazon GC and an e-copy of Truth North!  Just head over to her blog, The Marvelous Misadventures of Mrs. T, and check out all the details!  Want to buy a copy?  Check out her publisher Devine Destinies to find out how to get yourself a copy!
