The Demarcation of Jack by Blakely & Dana Bennett @blakelybennett #spotlight


18711089

 

 

Jack and Jenna are a married couple who seem to be at a fork in their road of love, live and happiness. So they plan a trip and at the last minute Jenna finds out Jack invited a couple they are somewhat friendly with. I admit I loved the premise. I thought there are probably a few couples that I would want to go on vacation with. Well if I remember when we didn’t have kids, there were only two couple we would vacation with. Unless you really know people and have an understanding that you aren’t glued at the hips, then it works. So Jenna is not happy and reluctantly leaves, heading to Jamaica.

 

 Was the fact that the author, I am full of myself here, created Jenna to piss me off. She seemed like she needed to loosen up a lot! That is the way you know the author is fabulous is she creates the character who you know is a thorn in your side. I questioned a lot of Jenna’s actions and she was always the voice of the reserved type of person whispering, NO! It seems like everyone is up for fun and they plan a few excursions  Jenna backs out of going to the nude beach, I wanted to stab her with the umbrella from my tropical drink.  

Finally things are moving along and the impact of their “talk” hits home. She is not happy and neither is Jack in a way. They added a lot of funny things to lighten the mood. They seem to have grown apart and are both somewhat willing to keep the marriage intact. Ultimately the couple they go with have a secret lifestyle. THIS is the best part. The steamy scenes between Jack and Jenna are HOT! The scenes between Marc and Summer were equally as hot. They are very open and expressive. 

 

Marc and Summer take turn equally counseling Jack and Jenna. Marc is a Doctor who is very open and has a female way of listening.  

I dont know if I can or want to share what happens, but it was quite a journey mon!  They learn so much about each other as a married couple. They learn about exploration both mentally and physically. They learn that Jack being an artist, has not changed at all. He is an artist by trade, so he has a creative way about him that may be considered deviant. I mean he sculpts nudes and Jenna was once his model. When the past comes out I learned that maybe Jenna isn’t as much a stick in the mud as I thought.

 

Can Jack and Jenna repair the wrongs? Can Marc and Summer help them? READ it NOW and find out! #TeamJack I cant wait to see what team you are on.

 

Jack and Jenna’s poignant journey encompasses the real and comedic moments of life. This provocative page-turning romance will keep you on the edge of your seat till the last moment!

The Lake House Secret by Debra Burroughs @DebraBurroughs #review



I am a big Debra Burroughs fan. When I read Three Days in Seattle (buy it here) I knew I stumbled on to something really good. This book has the romantic suspense theme that I love. I am also one of the stars. I am Aunt Renee! Yup that is me. I am so happy I won that contest  Anyways enough of my babbling.  

The story starts out creating the love I had for Jenessa. She has a bad day, she gets the lay off speech at work, goes home to see a 3 day eviction notice and then hears her Dad has had a heart attack and he didn’t make it. Sorting through this mess is going to take time. So I get invested in her character and I feel sorry for her, but I admire her strength. She hops in her old beat up Toyota and drives to Hidden Valley. When she gets there you are introduced to Aunt Renee (ME) and her sister Sara and Ramey her best friend. It is here that all the secrets come out. There is a huge murder investigation, a lie, a betrayal and a BIG family secret.  

On the way there poor Jenessa gets stopped by the police. It is something that happens to her often. She may have a lead foot!

 

Enter Mike

Gosh he is cute, smart, and has shown great improvement since high school.

 The lovable Aunt Renee (me) gets the word there is a report job and recommends Jenessa. Lucky for her she gets the job. Being she has a parent to mourn, a job to do, and about $5 in her pocket, she needs to get together and move on. It is a  Jenessa Jones is immediately pulled into the human remains story. Juicy and interesting. She has a flair for getting a detective on her side. I loved her and George together. Not a spoiler, but she does have a way with getting him on her side to spill a secret or three. 

  

Now enter Logan. He is the one who got away. Well I dont know if that is accurate anyway. I hated him and then loved him. The author does a great job of adding one mystery and one secret at a time. Seriously a page turner. This town is chock full of drama.

 

Obviously I loved Jenessa, she was all that! Funny, pretty, smart and sneaky! I liked how there were secrets being spread out through the Hidden Valley chapters. I also liked how she second guessed who was the killer. There is a chapter where you even think it may be her best friend. A very good plot that moves along at a steady pace. 

 

The biggest reveal was about Logan the boyfriend who stole her heart. His part is a steamy must read for sure! The characters are all lovable in a way that you know they will be in the next book. I hope it is a long series. Long live Aunt Renee! Did I mention that was me? I’m a star! 

 

Debra Burroughs writes with intensity and power. Her characters are rich and the stories are full of compelling suspense and real romance. She can be found, most days, sitting in front of her computer in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, dreaming up and writing about strong women, their relationships with men (good and bad), involved in exciting, mysterious, and romantic situations.

The Girl, The Gold Tooth, and Everything by Francine LaSala @francinelasala


the girl the gold tooth

737ba-synopsisblogback

Mina Clark is losing her mind—or maybe it’s already gone. She isn’t quite sure. Feeling displaced in her over-priced McMansion-dotted suburban world, she is grappling not only with deep debt, a mostly absent husband, and her playground-terrorizer 3-year old Emma, but also with a significant amnesia she can’t shake—a “temporary” condition now going on several years, brought on by a traumatic event she cannot remember, and which everyone around her feels is best forgotten. A routine trip to the dentist changes everything for Mina, and suddenly she’s not sure if what’s happening is real, of if she’s just now fully losing her mind… especially when she realizes the only person she thought she could trust is the one she fears the most.

This latest novel by Francine LaSala (Rita Hayworth’s Shoes) is a fast-paced, richly layered, and darkly humorous satire filled with quirky characters and unforgettable moments of humanity.
