First in a brand-new series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh and Veronica Chadwick about one man’s pursuit of justice—and unbridled desire.
LAW AND ORDER.
For as long as Samantha can remember, Hunter—a man as strong as steel, with a heart of gold—has been her hero. It came as no surprise to Samantha when she found out that the ranch-
hardened cowboy who always protected her from bullies went on to become the town’s sheriff. What does surprise her is how incredibly hot he still is. And how much she still wants him…
PRIDE AND PASSION
And, lo and behold, Hunter still has feelings for Samantha. The long-smoldering heat of their innocent flirtation has grown into a full-raging fire. But when tragedy strikes, and their small-town community is shattered, Hunter vows to do everything he can to keep his childhood sweetheart safe. But can Samantha trust that Hunter has her best interests at heart…and that, after all these years, his love is true?

UNEARTHING VENUS: MY SEARCH FOR THE WOMAN WITHIN by Cate Montana @catemontana
![Unearthing Venus: My Search for the Woman Within by [Montana, Cate]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41aNVU73uRL.jpg)
Once upon a time, I thought I was a liberated woman. Then a shocking encounter with an Amazonian shaman showed me I wasn’t liberated at all — at least not to be an outrageous, full-blown woman. Instead, society had liberated me to be a female whose validity came from acting like a man. He totally rocked my world!
After that conversation I set off on what would be an 11-year journey that would take me into the camps of Ayahuasceros deep in the Amazon River jungles of Peru and high into the Andes of Ecuador, into temples of the long-forgotten Goddess in southern India … into a deep psychic dive into my body, mind, heart, and the multidimensional realms of the unconscious … all to discover EVERYTHING that I was as a woman and set Her free.
And the journey continues …
Raw and real, yet also heartwarming and at turns hilarious, Unearthing Venus is a 21stcentury heroine’s journey. I couldn’t put it down and didn’t want it to end! Kathleen McGowan New York Times best selling author, The Expected One
I wish to God I’d read this book in my 20s … or my 30s. It has made me question my values and rethink what it means to be a woman in this man’s world. Empowering and a total page-turner. Betsy Chasse, co-creator What the Bleep Do We Know!?

In the tradition of Eat, Pray, Love and Cheryl Strayed’s Wild comes a fresh voice in women’s non-fiction. Join Cate Montana on an amazing journey into the heart of the Amazon jungle, up staggering peaks in the Andes, and halfway across the globe to the consecration of a temple to the Great Goddess in southern India as she searches for the missing Feminine within herself and Western Culture.
Raised in a man’s world to be “just one of the guys,” Cate was a highly successful network TV editor and journalist, self-admittedly “brash, driven and highly competitive.” While on assignment a chance encounter with a shaman sets her on the path of unearthing the illusive power of the feminine. In a raw and wrenching recapitulation of her life Cate discovers the devastating absence of feminine qualities within herself and the withering personal and global consequences of having only one paradigm available for her to express through: the masculine “P” values of Power, Possessions, Profit, and Progress. An intelligent, compellingly honest and frequently funny memoir of a modern woman’s search for her own unrecognized feminine spirit, Unearthing Venus is both a visionary and everywoman story that brilliantly captures what it is to be a woman today and everyday.

An Anonymous Girl: A Novel by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen #Review @greerkh @sarahpekkanen
Buy on Amazon
I love psychological thrillers. This was a great book, in my opinion. The writing was great! There is no distinction between the authors. I was wondering for a while in between gasping, if they were writing alternating chapters or characters POV, then I realized it didnt matter. The seamless plot didn’t give me any idea who writes what part. At part 2 things heat up between both Jess and Dr. Shields, making the reader wonder who is crazy? Maybe both of them.
While just devouring this I will say the two standouts for me were the premise and the characters. The premise is an advertisement on campus to participate in a study about morality and ethics. So how the main character Jess gets caught up and attends the screening is amazing! First night I read 30% and left off because it was the start of Part 2
Overall the characters were just jaw dropping! The Dr. Shields duo had me thinking an awful lot. The confidentiality agreements, ethical misdeed, affairs, grades, deaths and drama kept me up late to finish. A phenomenal read. I don’t know how anyone could think less.
Should a punishment always fit the crime?
This is SO hard to answer because to me, I felt like Dr. Shields chose to psychologically punish, instead of …well any other choice. Likely any other choice would be a lot easier than this cat and mouse crazy talk. Oh my!

Burg Series: Reed Security Series by Giulia Lagomarsino @crzybookladyluv @ejbookpromos
Title: Burg
Series: Reed Security Series
Author: Giulia Lagomarsino
Genre: Contemporary/Romance Suspense
Release Date: January 18, 2019
Blake “Burg” Reasenburg has it all. A woman he loves, a new baby, and the greatest job he could want. But that all changes in just the blink of an eye. Less than a 10% chance to survive is what the doctors tell them. There’s nothing he can do to save her. There’s nothing he wouldn’t give to trade places with her.
This book was inspired by true events.
“Blake, I want to keep it a secret.”
I was pacing back and forth in the doctor’s office. Emma didn’t want to know, but I needed to know. “You don’t understand. I need to know.”
“Why?”
“Because, everyone so far has had girls. Girls! I need to know if we’re going to have to buy more guns.”
“Really? You don’t think we have enough in the house already?”
I gripped her by the shoulders and shook her slightly. “Do you know what boys are like? Teenage boys are horny and they’ll do or say anything to get in a girl’s pants. I know. I was one of them.”
“So, you’re telling me that you lied to girls in high school so you could have sex?”
“Yes!” It was like she was just coming to the conclusion that all boys were scoundrels. “Do you understand now?”
“Well, if all boys are like that, then I’d rather have a girl.”
“What? What sense does that make?”
“Well, we only have to worry about her getting pregnant once. Imagine all the girls we would have to worry about if we had a boy. He could be out there sowing his wild oats all over town. We could potentially have hundreds of grandchildren in one year. And then it’s not just the girls you have to worry about, but those dads. Imagine if one of those dads was one of your coworkers. What do you think Mark would say if our son knocked up his little girl?”
“Sinner would probably be giving her notes,” I said in irritation.
“Okay, then imagine it was Knight’s daughter. Kate’s due in just two months and they already know they’re having a girl. Do you really think that Knight wants our future son deflowering his daughter?”
I took a step back and shuddered at the thought of what Knight would do to me if we had a boy and he knocked up his little girl. I imagined car bombs, torture sessions, lengthy interrogations, and deadly scars from the knives he would use on me. “We should definitely have a girl.”
I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Candace
My whole life I’ve been told I was good for one thing. I was the family pawn, a pretty face to do their bidding.
Then I met him, and I dared to see a future where he could make me whole again.
But Lang has a secret – one that excites me. Now, I only want to play by his rules. But in his future, he sees things I can’t physically give him.
Will he leave me like everyone else does?
Lang
Power and control—I demand it. I never had it as a kid, but now my life is arranged and ordered as I like.
Then she comes into my life; young and inexperienced, and willing to surrender.
I’m ready to give up everything for my sweet Candy. But she gives me all her power. I hold it in my hands.
Candace
A smile spreads along his face, “You’re the perfect submissive, you know what to do and when to do it.” He drops a kiss on my nose. “But I’d like you to call me Daddy. But in the club I’m sir. You got it?”
This is a hard line for me. I don’t want to think of the two worthless daddy’s that have messed me up in my youth. As though he’s reading my mind, he starts, “I understand your hesitation, doll, but let me explain it to you this way. I’m the only Daddy in your life that matters. I’ll take away all the hurt and pain.”
My eyes widen at his words, the thought he’s put in it. “Fuck, Lang, when you put it like that, how can I say no?” I lean back, still fascinated by what’s in his hands.
“Now that we have that settled, my naughty girl, this is one of your club outfits. It’s a little more sophisticated than some of the other ones will be.” I look at the leather dress, wondering what the others will look like. “Because we’re having dinner upstairs, we’ll dress a little more discreet, for tonight only.”
With sleeves that come right below the elbows and a scoop neck, the dress does look more modest than most BDSM outfits I’d imagine would boast. It’s one hundred percent leather and will cling to me like a second skin. With strappy four-inch shoes in his hand, and black fishnet thigh-highs with a garter belt, I understand I’ll be going commando tonight.
Leigh Lennon is mother, veteran and a wife of a cancer survivor. Originally with a degree in education, she started writing as an outlet that has led to a deep passion. She lugs her computer with her as she crafts her next story. One could say she loves pretty nails, big earrings and spiky hair.
