PRE-ORDER: The Business Engagement by Kasi Blake

 The Business Engagement

Release Date: May 22, 2021


As a former Harlequin author, Kasi Blake knows romance. She has always added at least some to her books, even to her YA Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Mysteries, from forbidden love to love that was meant to be. Now, she has published her first Contemporary Romance. If you enjoy a little steam in your romance, you will not want to miss The Business Engagement. 



Blurb: One fake engagement can save two reputations... if they can keep their hands off each other. 

When claustrophobic Anna gets trapped in an elevator with hunky Skylar, the last thing she expects is to exit an engaged woman. But Skylar insists tongues will stop wagging when people realize she is marrying him and not sleeping with her boss.

Skylar’s father (her boss) invites her to spend Thanksgiving weekend with his entire family in Vermont, and he won’t take no for an answer. She has no clue how she will get through four days under the same roof with the sexy, arrogant Skylar. Then she discovers they expect her to share a room with her fiancé. Now what?

With her job on the line, will she also be willing to risk her heart?

Pre-order Special .99 cents. Limited Time. Price goes up to $3.99 after the release date.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excerpt:

The door shut before she could get her bearings, and the elevator began to descend. That was when she noticed the other occupant, the last person she wanted to be trapped in an elevator with: Griffin’s son.

Skylar gave her the expected customary nod to acknowledge her existence.

Pursing her lips together, she returned the gesture. She didn’t see any reason to pretend they liked each other. Three years ago when she’d joined the firm he had almost destroyed her career within a week. Stubborn and bad-tempered, Skylar had treated her like his personal gopher rather than a colleague with a law degree. Things only got worse when his father put them on the same trial. She’d been second chair, of course, but Skylar wouldn’t listen to a word she said. Every time she opened her mouth he cut her off. Then while she was considering going to his father about the situation, Skylar complained to the man about her. He had almost gotten her fired. She’d been pulled off the trial and put on a case that a monkey could have won.

Since then she’d avoided him like her life depended on it.

She had a second reason to steer clear of him as well, an embarrassing reason. She hated to admit it even to herself, but Skylar Griffin oozed sex appeal. Her skin heated and her lower region pulsated every time she looked at him. Stylishly cropped hair the color of warm sand and eyes crystal blue like the Caribbean Sea reminded her of a much-needed tropical vacation. He worked as hard as she did and always seemed to be in his office. Yet, the deceitful golden brown skin would convince anyone he spent his days on the beach instead of sitting behind a desk. Not to mention, he had a surfer’s body with lean muscle and natural agility.

🦋🦋🦋 REVIEW: Queen of the Fireflies by P Mattern 🦋🦋🦋

 


Welcome back to our final week of February's Author Spotlight featuring P Mattern and her new release, Queen of the Fireflies!! This week, I am sharing my review with you all!! So keep scrolling to the end to see my thoughts about this story!!! 


Queen of the Fireflies
by P Mattern
Released: February 9, 2021
Publisher: CHBB Publishing
Cover Artist: Moon Media INK
Hosted by Black Words-White Pages




Her name is Valeria, and she used to be human.

Her refusal to marry a warlock seals her fate, and she is cursed to become a Shapeshifter, an Immortal, and Queen of the tiny luminous creatures she had adored in her human life: the fireflies.

That is, if she ever escapes the jar she was buried in.

Felix and Fredricka Parker spend the summer on their Aunt Trish’s farm while their parental units celebrate their anniversary in Paris. With no wifi, their prospects of having a great summer seem less than dismal.

Until they go digging around one day near a creek bed and unearth something that will change their view of the world forever.

$3.99 or



This was such a cute story.

The characters were so amazing. I enjoyed getting to know Freddie, Felix, Aunt Trish and Valeria. The kids made this story a real treat to read.

The story-line was clever. Mattern is an absolute genius!! The tale that she twisted into this story kept me entertained from beginning to end and made it such and amazing and fun read with an incredible plot twist that I didn't see coming right away. This is a phenomenal page turner and I highly recommend it.

EXCERPT

CHAPTER ONE-THE CREEK BED

      It was day five of what seemed would be a boring and interminable summer.

     Felix and Fredericka Parker, 13 and 14 year olds born just 13 months apart (Fredericka, aka “Freddie” would never let Felix forget who was the oldest) were walking along a creek bed on their Aunt Trish’s farm. Off in the distance they could see one of her handymen, Herb, plowing a field with a tractor.

     “She has over 90 acres,” they said, Felix quoted with a bitter edge to his voice, “ No one for miles, you can have fun exploring nature they said!”

     “So far I think nature is having a lot more fun exploring ME!” Freddie said grumpily, swatting way what had to be the largest horsefly she’d ever seen. She’d always thought she was a nature lover, even though she and Felix had been raised as suburbanites and their entire experience had been in picnicking in well manicured parks with merry-go-rounds , or “camping” at the biggest and swankiest lodge at Big Meadows with all the amenities including room service.

     “I just CAN’T,” Felix continued, kicking at pebbles as they walked along. The Summer heat in Virginia was relentless, and they could feel the sweat trickling down their necks.

     Aunt Trish didn’t have indoor conditioning but since her double decker farmhouse was built into the side of a hill on one side and had ceiling fans, it remained shadowy and cool indoors. She’d suggested they take a walk and enjoy the open air and sunshine.

     But the open air smelled like cow patties when they were downwind of the herd, and the Parker kids didn’t like THAT either.

     “We can at least wade in the stream,” Freddie sighed, kicking off her Crocs and mincing across the

     Pebbles that the creek had tossed up, “Good way to cool off !

     Remember what Aunt Trish said that Granny Parker always said, “When you are cool your whole body is cool!”

🔬🔬🔬 EXCERPT: Longevity Sequence Z by P Mattern 🔬🔬🔬



Welcome back to Black Words-White Pages!! This week we are sharing with you all a sneak peek into the book with an excerpt from Longevity Sequence Z by P Mattern. So let's check it out....



Longevity Sequence Z

by P Mattern

Published by CHBB Publishing

Cover Artist: CD Gorri


 



EXCERPT

On one hand Rory was ecstatic, on the other hand he wondered  how far what could only be interpreted as this ‘age reversal process’  would go. Was there even a stopping point? Would she settle in at her “prime”, and have the physical health of an average 35 year old?

    Or would she at some point start aging again, sliding back toward her late sixties?

    It did not do any good to remind himself that it was too late now. To stop giving her the injections meant that he was condemning Miz Millie to the horrid disease that threatened to take not only what was left of her vitality but also her mind.

     Parkinson’s was a damn mean disease.

     He knew that he had to save her. Whatever happened, he refused to lose her. Even if the cocktail never won FDA approval, he would keep formulating it and injecting it as long as she needed it.

    He’d made a promise to himself a long time ago as a boy, when she’d been widowed, that he would always protect her.

     He was not about to break that promise now.

Phucky the ELF Plays Matchmaker
by P Mattern
Published by Purely Paranormal Pleasures


THIS naughty and insatiable elf would love to frost your cookies!

Phucky the elf has served Santa Claus long and well when Santa offers him as a reward of his choice of one of Santa's twin daughters of marriageable age, Noelle and Holly. He is at once honored and taken aback.

He realizes that he is in a sticky position because unbeknownst to Santa Claus Phucky has been in love for years with the seemingly career focused and unattainable Tinsella Clark.

"Tinsie" is a hot curvaceous blonde with lickably long legs and he desperately wants a taste of what lies between them. 

He decides that the only way to get Santa out of the doldrums after unexpectedly losing Mrs. Claus in a freak sledding accident is to find him a new mate among the hopefuls at the North Pole. Phucky is prepared to play matchmaker for dear old Santa, but now his task has been cubed!

Phucky's only way out is to get Santa hooked up while also getting Santa's twin daughters interested in another couple of eligible fellows.

…But can he make that happen?

☠️☠️☠️ REVIEW: American Handmaidens by P Mattern ☠️☠️☠️

 


Welcome back to the final week of November with P Mattern and her new release, American Handmaidens!! Today, I am going to share with you all my review!! So without further adieu, let's get started....

American Handmaidens
by P Mattern
Published by CHBB Publishing
Cover Art by Rue Volley


Would you bury it as deeply as it would go

Or talk about it as soon as you were able to anyone willing to listen?

I was the sister who buried it.

Lyn was the sister who refused to.

In the end, it cost her everything.

Some secrets are too terrible to keep.


PURCHASE OR READ FOR FREE ON KU






Well, I am not sure exactly what I can say as I write up this review. It truly hit on a more personal level for me.

Learning about the lives of Patricia and Lyn brought back many things that happened to me as a child and in adulthood. The relationship with my dad and the different stepmoms that I had made life hard and as I got older so did other relationships with other people, especially men in particular. I was physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually abused in many different forms of life that made me hate people and lose hope and my faith in God in one fail swoop. I was a complete mess and it took many people to bring me back to what I have become today.

This story was well written and it didn't cause me to relive those parts of my life that I was abused because her story was different from mine. But it did bring out the feelers and made me feel so sad or angry at times for the characters. As I read this story, I feel as if I wasn't alone and it wasn't just me that went through a rough life. Seeing her feelings poured out into the pages of this book showed me that not everyone's life is full of rainbows and unicorns no matter what time frame you were born in or how old you are. It fills my heart to know that I have had the chance to get to know this author on a more personal level just by reading this story. I truly thank this author for sharing with the world her testimony. I highly recommend this read!!
