If you love chick lit this is for you. I can say this is a romantic comedy at a high point. Truly funny Jazzy wants to reunite with Curtis, who is an ex boyfriend. It is sort of funny how I got totally excited when Curtis tells her he had news”that he needs to share. I was like oh my maybe they will get back together. NO and I am not giving spoilers but he is with her cousin Mercedes who she hates, and I in turn hate too! 

The funniest part was when Jazzy meets Reggie and figures he can be her escape. If she had Reggie with her then Mercedes and her engagement wont hurt too much. She thinks maybe this big old family dinner may even be pleasant with Reggie as a distraction. It makes everyone think she is taken. It seems like a great plan in the beginning. Right away things happen causing me to really laugh too hard!

Take a trip with this hysterical family. I loved Jazzy, her family is crazy and I can totally see this as a series. Authors like Quanie Miller provide us with a true escape. Sometimes books like Jazzy come along and you should tell a friend! READ IT Things are really not “easy” being Jazzy!

Quanie Miller grew up in New Iberia, Louisiana. She fell in love with reading at an early age and spent most of her time at the Iberia Parish Library discovering new authors like R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike (she was often found walking back home from the library with a stack of books that went up to her chin). She holds degrees from Louisiana State University and San Jose State University. She has been the recipient of the James Phelan Literary Award, the Louis King Thore Scholarship, the BEA Student Scriptwriting Award, and the Vicki Hudson Emerging Writing Prize. She loves writing humorous stories about strong willed, sassy women who can’t keep themselves out of trouble.

Synopsis:

Once a respected member of the Sorcerer Council and now an outcast, Blaise has spent the last year of his life working on a special magical object. The goal is to allow anyone to do magic, not just the sorcerer elite. The outcome of his quest is unlike anything he could’ve ever imagined – because, instead of an object, he creates Her.

She is Gala, and she is anything but inanimate. Born in the Spell Realm, she is beautiful and highly intelligent – and nobody knows what she’s capable of.

Augusta, a powerful sorceress, sees Blaise’s deed for the ultimate hubris that it is. She still loves Blaise and wants to save him before he has to pay the ultimate price . . . thanks to the abomination he created.

Dima holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from NYU and a dual undergraduate degree in Computer Science / Psychology from Brooklyn College. He also has a number of hobbies and interests, the most unusual of which might be professional-level mentalism. He simulates mind-reading on stage and close-up, and has done shows for corporations, wealthy individuals, and friends.

In fact, he very much hopes to catch the technological advancements that might let him live forever (biologically or otherwise). Aside from that, he also enjoys learning about current and future technologies that might enhance our lives, including artificial intelligence, biofeedback, brain-to-computer interfaces, and brain-enhancing implants.

In addition to his own works, Dima has collaborated on a number of romance novels with his wife, Anna Zaires.

Anna Zaires is the love of his life and a huge inspiration in every aspect of his writing. She definitely adds her magic touch to anything Dima creates, and the books would not be the same without her.

I was impressed with how this plot was set up. There was the main story which was a baseball player, J.D. Shaw. My my my, JD Shaw had a reputation of being a stud and a great ball player. No matter what he did, who he did, or what he drank, the guy was up at 5am for practice. His life was the New York Federals and nursing his passion for woman and booze. The day he signs a contract he injures his shoulder. He is in a bad spot and plays through the pain. I can say with the help of booze and pain pills.

A few predicaments get JD and Catrina Hiett who is a party girl and daughter of a big figure involving the Federals. All she wants is status and to spend JD’s cash. So when Halee McCarthy shows up at a fundraiser and makes his jaw drop, well the secret about them escapes. They were together and she caught him in bed with Catrina. Yikes the drama. I think the best was the unusual plot device for getting JD the girl, the contract, the respect, wait no spoilers it is a journey you wont want to miss.

What kept me going was the plot and of course the drama. It is very well written with a lot of information about contracts, baseball players, scandal and love. What makes him tick is the fact that he wants the farm where he grew up. So he play with pain for a dream. I say read it and enjoy! When you are done read more from this talented author.

I thought A Higher Voice was a good read. It was pretty enjoyable and I liked Britt’s story. Aside from the underlying messages about Dena and her beliefs I found her likeable. I was really engaged in Britt’s storyline. It was a different type of book with a star who was not typical. It was hard to imagine Britt falling for Dena and how they stayed together was a positive aspect. He really evolved and learned a lot about himself. Very refreshing.  

There was a lot to like about this book and I would say if you are in the mood for something, clean and refreshing give this one a try. I liked that the love story between Britt & Dena started right away and lasted throughout the book. You can relate to Dena and her need to protect her daughter. It was showing the faith Dena had in a different way along with her trust in Britt’s feeling for her.  

The author added a little sub plot with the music, production and concerts concerning Britt. 

I am perfectly flawed and I believe the best stories aren’t about perfect people. The best stories are about what happens when you back a flawed person into a corner.  

I like to unravel a character until I get at the story he really wants to tell me. The story might leave us a little grimy in the telling, but we’ll find out just what he’ll risk everything for. We’ll find out whether he’s willing to let the story transform him. 

Because I believe God’s story is evident even in the grimiest of tales. 

As for me, I’m as flawed as anyone. I can scruff along my daily walk not much different than the next person. And yet…and yet, by God’s grace, I stand perfect. Amazing truth. 

I am a graduate of High Point University, I live near Mt. Airy, North Carolina, and my husband and I own a couple small businesses.

Ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go right?

Well, every day is like that for Jessalyn Bell. Falling victim to a streak of extremely bad luck, Jessalyn can rarely go a day without encountering a disastrous occurrence. Her parents’ divorce, her inability to meet quota at her sales job, and the incident in which she’s mistakenly arrested are just the beginning. There’s also the fact that every single date with her boyfriend Kyle goes wrong.

Unpleasant surprises wait around every corner, but through her various misadventures Jessalyn comes to realize that every cloud has a silver lining, that friendships can develop in the most unlikely places, and that love and romance are every bit as spontaneous and unpredictable as a bout of bad luck.

Where I’m From:
I was an Air Force brat growing up, so I’m not really sure where I’m from. I was born in California, then moved to Germany, then moved to New Mexico. New Mexico is usually where I say I’m from, since that’s where I lived the longest. Alamogordo is my hometown. You’ve probably never heard of it. Most people haven’t. And those who have wish that they hadn’t.

Here’s a photo of Alamogordo, New Mexico from Wikipedia. It pretty much sums it up.

Yeah, there’s nothing there. Except for a water tower and tumbleweeds. And dirt. Lots of it.

What I Do:
By day, I work as an editor and graphic designer for a magazine publishing company. By night, I write novels just for kicks.

When and Why I Decided to Become a Writer:
I think I was ten years old the first time I thought about becoming a published author. At the time, I was completely obsessed with R.L. Stine, The Boxcar Children, and Sweet Valley High. When I wasn’t reading those books, I was combing the shelves at the school library for any and every fiction book written for children. I quickly became obsessed with creative writing, and began writing short stories. A couple of them won school awards and my head swelled to the size of the Goodyear Blimp. Then I entered the same stories in a citywide competition, and when they lost I came crashing back down to reality. My artwork, meanwhile, went on to win city and statewide awards. Art became my main focus, but I never stopped writing.

Hobbies and Interests:
I like to bake, and cook, but I don’t do much of either lately because I have two babies in diapers. Being a mommy is awesome, and it takes a lot of time. I’ve always been a big movie-goer, and I’m usually watching an action flick or slapstick comedy of some sort. As much as I love to write, I also have a passion for graphic design. It’s what I went to school for, and what pays the bills.

Note: This novel contains mature content, sexuality, and adult language.

Review:

Chick lit lovers unite once again! The premise is so good; lie and say you are seeing someone and then they (men) will flock to you. I know I heard somewhere that a man wearing a wedding ring is more appealing. I don’t know where I heard it or if it is true. Either way a very interesting idea!

For Chloe to own a store and be totally focused on fashion is typical of the author. She writes a fashion maven with ease, this one included.

When I read characters such as Chloe and Ethan I truly appreciate the author. She made them so lovable.  The pretend to date each other theme used with them just made me enjoy it more. Sometimes the one you should be with is right there, sometimes fate jumps in, either way they worked for me. There are a few along the way that peak my interest, but the author keeps you guessing.

Anna has also written a few great novels as Libby Mercer. Check her out and dont miss the other fabulous novels she has written.
