Blurb: Kelnaht, a cloud elf, is a truth seeker caught between love and faith. Worse, a murder committed ten days before Solstice reveals an illicit affair between two tree elves he desires more than he can admit: Kelnaht’s former lover Ianys, who once betrayed him, and the shunned forester named Taruif, who is not allowed to talk to anyone but The Guide, their spiritual pathfinder. When Taruif turns out to be the only witness for the crime, Kelnaht has to keep Ianys from sacrificing himself and losing his daughter, while at the same time realising he’d gladly sacrifice himself to end Taruif’s loneliness.

Blurb: Love is always complicated and sometimes blind and usually that makes for your best type of love story.

College is rough for almost everyone, it’s a time to figure out who you are and what you stand for all while getting  an education. The instant I began to read I fell in love with Tara’s words of longing and desperation. She is reaching out to the love of her life and willing her to come back and bring her an explanation for her absence. While in this state of longing and heartbreak she begins to tell a story of self discovery and a love that breaks all molds. Being the good Iowa girl that she is with her steady boyfriend and good grades she walks into a classroom one day and learns that sometimes love isn’t planned and what expected. Falling in love with someone is complicated but worse when they are a women and your new professor.  Continue reading →

Honorary Blogger The Tipsy Bibliophile – Cooks Us The Italian Wonderpot for Acrobat by Mary Calmes

Posted on January 31, 2014 by thebloggergirls

TBG: When we first decided that Mary Calmes would be the focus of our first Author Week, we immediately thought of Laura from The Tipsy Bibliophile. Like Nikyta, she has an obsession with anything that Mary Calmes happens to write. So, when we asked Laura to be our Honorary Blogger Girl for the day and write a recipe review for one of her favorite MC books, she thankfully agreed! Her reviews have a unique flare that mixes a review with a recipe, and wine, specific to the story. We enjoy her creations as much for the review as for the tasty recipes she offers and we hope you enjoy them as much as we have! Take it away, Laura! Continue reading →

Blurb: Can love conquer all?

Jimmy Rafferty and Eddie Molina go way back at the J-Bar ranch. They’ve worked together, bunked together, camped out, and drank together. So how has Jimmy failed to notice that Eddie is gay? Eddie has not failed to notice that his friend has a serious drinking problem, and he’s determined to help Jimmy kick the booze cold turkey.

Taking him up to a snowbound cabin to detox, Eddie is confronted with Jimmy’s fierce denial. But the pains of withdrawal are nothing for Jimmy compared with the heartache of denying his true feelings and his deep longing…for the one man who cares for him more than anyone else on earth.
