Absolutely loved this one. Heather scores again. I will say the message was there and received. Jane Russell moves to Ecuador to write about Jaguars. She is interested in the preservation and breeding of these animals. Already there in Ecuador is Devon McAllister, who is hot, rich and the son a well to do American. He is unlike his greedy father, he starts his business opening a fair trade rose plantation in the fertile soils of Ecuador.

Not giving away anything but the jaguars get some attention from a bad ass and then these two highly focused people become involved in a ring on deceit. Both are scared and need to learn to trust again.

This book was a very different setting. What I LOVE about Heather (I have an author crush on her) is that she brings to light issues that we are not aware of. A lot of us buy roses but do we know that Ecuador has some of the best? No, like I had no idea there were preserves for jaguars there. Very enlightening and a pleasure to read.

The good news is she has written several other books so new readers can get their fill.

I am giving copies away today for the release so leave me a comment and I will gift a copy! Go to the sidebar and enter one of the raffles too!

As a kid, my mouth seemed to house only sweet-teeth. I’d eat sugar cubes by the handful, given the chance, and once trick-or-treated in the heat of July (dress up plus free candy: a total sweet-o-holic win-win). Years later, when disordered eating set in, sweets became the bad boyfriend I had to resist, or face punishment. It’s a beautiful thing to be past all of that, particularly since it’s allowed me to recognize and pursue my writing dreams.

In his book How to Write a Damn Good Thriller, James Frey describes concern over social injustice as the reason authors write certain thrillers, such as Blood Diamond, Dr. Stangelove,Serpico and The Constant Gardener. The authors feel compelled to shed light on and perhaps help correct these injustices, he says, thereby improving the world. I certainly relate to that motivation, and in my own meager way, that’s one of the…

Don’t Fear The Reaper (Netherworld Series)

 

Book Bio:  

Grief-stricken by the murder of her twin, Keely Morrison is convinced suicide is her ticket to eternal peace and a chance to reunite with her sister. When Keely succeeds in taking her own life, she discovers death isn’t at all what she expected. Instead, she’s trapped in a netherworld on Earth and her only hope for reconnecting with her sister and navigating the afterlife is a bounty-hunting reaper and a sardonic, possibly unscrupulous, demon. But when the demon offers Keely her greatest temptation—revenge on her sister’s murderer—she must uncover his motives and determine who she can trust. Because, as Keely soon learns, both reaper and demon are keeping secrets and she fears the worst is true—that her every decision will change how, and with whom, she spends eternity.
