Chained Reaction

by Shiloh Love

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:   Contemporary Romantic Suspense

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BOOK BLURB:

Love is just a link away.

One bad mistake sparks a chain reaction of terror for two innocent people.

When a registered nurse is blackmailed into helping two coworkers commit a crime, she never expects to find love. With her career on the line, the last thing Camille needs is romantic entanglement that will most likely lead to heartbreak if a secret from her past goes public. She just wants to end the nightmare and return to her job.

Lights out for billionaire Trenton Shade upon helping a lady in distress. He wakes hours later chained to an antique barber chair in the middle of nowhere. The nurse caring for him seems too kind to be an abductor. Her cohorts on the other hand, paint quite a different scenario. Plummeted into a dangerous situation, he reaches out to the only possible helping hand.

Can two victims of evil intent escape the clutches of a crazed pair of women driven by greed? Even if Camille and Shade make it out alive, will the bond formed during captivity lead to a future together?

There are some wounds even the most powerful love cannot heal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:

“I don’t deserve to be comforted.”

He rubbed her back reassuringly. “Yeah, you do. I’ve never seen more courage than what you displayed back in that cabin. Even after that bitch beat you up, you never quit. Don’t you dare quit on me now, doll.”

“Okay…” She sniffed back sobs and wiped her nose with the back of her hand. “I won’t.”

“Get on my back.” He pulled her to her feet. “I’ll carry you until we find a safe place to rest.”

She tilted her head in concern. “That’s too much on you.”

“Look at me, babe. Then tell me I can’t do this.”

Her cheeks flushed hot. He was indeed built. “I didn’t mean to insult you.”

“Then climb aboard, woman. Let’s get moving. I can make better time. That wench said she’d be gone a couple hours.”

“She’ll be back sooner if she notices the missing keys.”

“All the more reason we need to make tracks.” He squatted and nodded for her to climb onto his back.

She did as he requested, hiking her legs up to his waist and wrapping both arms around his strong neck. He gripped her thighs with his hands then set off at a jog. His stamina and strength were nothing short of inspiring, making her feel even more drawn to this imposing male.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AUTHOR BIO:

Shiloh Love is a fan of happily ever after. Her novels are too!

Shiloh enjoys creating romance, paranormal romance, and romantic suspense stories with a gritty flair. Her stories are her own, and she typically writes outside the box. She’s always been a leader not a follower. Writing is her mental filter and how she processes the world around her, a fictional place where she can control the outcome at her comfort level with justice and happy endings. Her imagination is her greatest strength as it carries her away from daily stress.

As a survivor of hardship and chronic disease, she takes one day at a time and treasures the simple things in life. Shiloh is a Christian, loves animals, and practices being kind and generous every day. When not immersed in new stories, she enjoys watching movies, Motocross and Supercross, playing Yahtzee with her fiancé, and hanging out with her loyal 24/7 companion and trained service dog. She’s not a fan of sitcoms as they don’t offer enough mental stimulation. Losing herself in an intense story gives her brain the workout it needs to manage OCD, anxiety, depression, and stress.

Her achievements thus far include The Golden Wings Award for her debut novel The Satellite, the UK Nobel Pin and Editor’s Choice Award for her poem The Lonely Man, numerous 5 Star Reviews from Fallen Angels Reviews, Coffee Time Romance, InD’tale Magazine, and Goodreads for retired and current novels. Her novel Forever in Darkness was a RONE Awards Finalist. Chained Reaction received the 5-star Crowned Heart from InD’tale Magazine.

Her quote is, “Writing is the only time I’m truly free.” She’s happiest when her intriguing characters come to life and steal her away into their worlds where anything is possible.

Reflections on the Boulevard

Reflections of Michael Trilogy

Book Two

by L.J. Ambrosio

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:  Coming of Age

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BOOK BLURB:

Michael's story continues from A Reservoir Man (2022) where we find him teaching at a university ready to retire. He unexpectedly meets a young man named Ron who becomes his protégé and journeys with him in a haphazard adventure throughout America and Europe. In Michael's final journey in life, each twist and turn of the road brings unexpected adventures. The journey taken is one of joy, friendship, and discovery.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT TWO:

On one particularly bumpy part of the trail, Michael assured Ron.

"You look great and natural on that mule! Like Gene Autry!” Ron was falling over now, off the mule. Ron had some choice language for Michael. After a minute he also asked, “Who is Gene Autry?”

“He was the cowboy who sang 'Don’t Fence Me In'!”

The mule train proved to be extraordinary. The views were spectacular; being inside the canyon was the best. The formation of the rocks was either tilted, straight, or flat. The horizontal layers of rocks produced the colors yellow, red, and blue. The mule and Ron were no problem; he was a natural mule rider. Thank heavens he told the mule about his relationship with Rhonda - that was the key to their bonding. Ron had a wonderful time, even if his butt was in pain. He felt the saddle was still attached to his bottom even after they left.

They found a bench looking at their incredible view of the North Rim. Michael turned to Ron telling him how nice and cool their friendship was. Michael agreed.

“I had so many friends and partners, but I was never able to have as much fun and conversations as I have had with you, Ron.”

“Partners like Gail, your former business partner?" Ron asked.

Michael playfully responded, "No, like loving, and those other things.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AUTHOR INTERVIEW:

Good morning L.J. Ambrosio!!  Welcome back to Fabulous and Brunette!!  We are thrilled to have you here and can’t wait to learn more about you and your new book, “Reflections on the Boulevard”!!

How did your book cover come about?

I contracted a young man from India.. We communicated solely by email doing the front and back covers. He did a brilliant job –he is currently doing the third book that will be coming soon.

What is your favorite scene in the book?

In the first chapter, how easily the ferry ride brings you into the story. I hope to do the same on the upcoming book as well.

What is the inspiration behind your main hero?

Michael's journey began in the first book of the trilogy, THE RESERVOIR MAN. He beats the reservoir man and finds his truth, which frees him, as it would everyone. t book –he beats the reservoir man and finds his truth –the finding of his truth frees him as it would do for everyone.  Michael Is not a hero but an antihero in its most classical definition. What I find is the battle to find their truth and fighting off all those reservoir guys and girls.

What media outlets, role-models and real-life inspirations did you draw from while writing this book?

The role model was me and the people I encountered in my journey.

What do you love the most about the local library?

The stillness is calming, and I find it's the best place to meditate.

What is one of your favorite things in your office?

A candle.

How do you create fierce female characters?

There is no formula for a female character; if you think this way you are restricting your creative freedom.  The female character should just evolve as all the other characters.

Tell us about your main character.

He is sensitive, determined, looking for answers, bright, understanding, and he has polite eating habits. He has a great need for adventure and can multitask.  The main thing, he respects the guy next door.

How do you deal with rejection as a writer?

Become a duck and let it roll off your back. Don’t believe that dark cloud. Understand what the person is saying and then reject it. Think of something else other than what horrible thing was said. Please, don’t care. Screw them all.

What are the five musts for writing a bestseller?

Good story

Fun language

Strong characters

Great locations—even if is a room

Honest and good honest research

What music do you like to listen to while writing?

Leonard Cohen, lots of disco.

Where do you find inspiration?

Nature inspires me, in the redemption of people and the human condition.

What's it like to share your most personal words with the world?

I don’t care. I am glad to be honest and if giving it as a part of me like that could help the next person that is great.

Thank you so much for spending time with Fabulous and Brunette readers and sharing your exciting new book with us!!  We wish you all the best on your book tour!!

Hidden Away at Promise Lodge

Promise Lodge Series

Book Seven

by Charlotte Hubbard

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:   Amish / Inspirational Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BOOK BLURB:

Returning to the fan-favorite world of the closeknit Amish community of Promise Lodge, the small-town Missouri setting of her beloved Amish inspirational romance novels, Charlotte Hubbard continues to delight readers with uplifting tales of faith, family, and the blessings and happiness of true love and caring partnership.

There are no secrets among Missouri’s Amish community of Promise Lodge, as they share their joys, burdens, and blessings. But two visitors with a hidden agenda bring some surprising revelations—and unexpected saving graces…

When Karen Mercer and Andi Swann come to Promise Lodge for a week’s stay, the Kuhn sisters quickly detect the guests are not Plain folk, despite their kapps and homemade dresses. Entranced by the idyllic Amish lifestyle they’ve read about in romance novels, the visitors have gone undercover to revisit the place that was once the church camp where they spent happy summers. They mean no harm—but when the truth is uncovered, their deception has an intriguing impact on the faithful, hard-working community . . .

Meanwhile, amid bustling preparations for a spring wedding, a shy horse trainer is encouraged to share his colorful world with a newcomer awaiting a miracle . . . while the widowed baker of luscious Promise Lodge Pies sees a long-time friendship in a romantic new light. And in the wake of a destructive storm, Karen and Andi’s insider knowledge of the grounds may offer the safe passage they all need to renew and rebuild—stronger than ever . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT ONE:

“Look at how this place has changed since we went to church camp here,” Andi remarked as they stood at the entry to Promise Lodge. “This must be a new metal entryway sign, because I don’t remember it having sunflowers and wheat sheaves, do you? And this plot to the left was a mowed pasture for horseback riding, and now it’s planted in green beans and tomatoes—”

“Probably to be sold at this produce stand,” Karen said, nodding toward the wooden structure at the roadside. “And look at all the houses! And there’s a tiny home with a dock on the far side of Rainbow Lake. How cool is that?”

“The old timbered lodge and the cabins look just the same as I remember them,” Andi said wistfully. “Except the Amish here have obviously done a lot of painting—and that looks like a new roof. The summers we spent here as campers and counselors were some of the best times of my life.”

“Yeah, they were.” Karen pointed toward a large white barn. “And look at those adorable black and white cows! Everything looks too neat and perfect to be real—”

“But what about us?” Andi interrupted, her smile falling a notch. “Do we look authentic? We’re wearing these calf-length dresses we made and the kapps we ordered from a store in Lancaster County—and we’ve read hundreds of Amish novels—but what if they call us out as fakes? What if they make us confess in front of everybody at church and then—”

“They can’t do that, silly!” Karen reminded her with a chuckle. “We’re just taking a little trip down memory lane while we live the Amish life instead of just reading about it. If we stick to our script and imitate the way these folks do things, we’ll be fine, right?”

Andi sighed as though she wasn’t too sure about that. “But we made our phone reservation request and sent our money as though we were Plain, and the Amish think it’s a sin to lie. Maybe we should’ve—”

“But we didn’t,” Karen pointed out quickly. Her pulse was pounding with anticipation as she picked up the old-fashioned suitcase she’d bought at a thrift store. “If we follow our plans, we won’t have any problems. We’re just a couple of Amish maidels who’ve come to Promise Lodge for a week to check it out because we read about it in the Budget newspaper—which we did. Let’s walk to the lodge before you get cold feet and back out on me.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AUTHOR BIO:

In 1983, Charlotte Hubbard sold her first story to True Story. She wrote around 70 of those confession stories, and she’s sold more than 50 books to traditional or online publishers. A longtime resident of Missouri, she’s currently writing Amish romances set in imaginary Missouri towns for Kensington. She now lives in Omaha, NE with her husband and their Border collie, Vera.

Blood of Fire

Sin City Kilts Book Series

Book Three

by January Bain

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:  Supernatural Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BOOK BLURB:

Book Three in the Sin City Kilts Series

Can a carefree wolf shifter and an unbelieving human find true love?

Logan Greig, billionaire wolf and kilt-wearing Scot, arrives in Vegas to make a heist movie set in a casino. He’s the bad boy of his clan, the one voted least likely to settle down. What does he care? He loves women and won’t apologize to anyone for that.

Justine Bell, a dedicated history professor at the University of Vegas and a skeptic to the bone, is hired by Logan Grieg to dress the set with Egyptian antiquities. She dislikes Logan the infamous playboy on principle alone, but with the dean insisting she takes the job, she has no choice.

When one of the ancient relics in the shipment turns out to be a legendary invaluable artifact, Justine throws herself into research to discover more about it. Both she and Logan are amazed to discover that the item is of vital importance to the whole of mankind—it reveals that supernatural creatures have always walked the Earth!

Now, with the clock ticking, the pair must work together as a team. Justine has to find the strength to abandon the safety of the beliefs she clings to, ones that don’t allow her to embrace true love, and Logan must fight to become the man Justine needs him to be.

If they can do that, a whole new world awaits them…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT TWO:

Justine

I took a deep breath, adjusted my reading glasses and glanced around at the rapt attention of all the eager freshmen, savoring the moment as I prepared to launch into my speech on the legitimacy of the curses often associated with Egyptian artifacts. This was the most deliciously fun section of the course I taught at the University of Vegas each semester. That the debate would be lively was guaranteed, but my innate skepticism and well-honed ability to stamp out even a hint of superstitious nonsense would lead them down the true path in no time.

Curses.

They were something I knew all too well. Didn’t my mother curse the day my father abandoned us for greener pastures? But far as I knew, he was alive and well and living with his second or maybe his third family in Ohio. Handsome, charming men were all alike, thinking females were easily acquired, then just as easily sloughed off when they developed a wrinkle or added a pound or two.

That was never going to happen to me because my life was all about teaching and writing research papers and creating a circle of friends that guaranteed I wouldn’t ever be lonely. If sometimes I secretly envied when a man and a woman found true love, well, I was better off living with never having had my heart broken.

Falling in love and losing oneself in another sounded like hokum to me, and a waste of energy that could be better spent elsewhere. Like in front of an eager group of young minds, looking for answers to things that were quantifiable and helping them obtain degrees. My biggest hope was leading some of them toward acquiring a teaching degree, a guarantee of a brighter future for all.

“Have any of you heard of Tutankhamun’s Curse?” I asked with a crook of one eyebrow.
