list twenty-four of my favorite novels I’ve read in 2013. The below list of
books are in no particular order. All of them are books I would purchase as

GUEST REVIEW: HOLLYWOOD EVER AFTER (Red Carpet, #1) by Sasha Summers
Title: Hollywood Ever After
Series: Red Carpet, #1
Author: Sasha Summers
Publisher: InkSpell Publishing
Publication Date: May 8, 2012
Reviewed by: Ellen Fritz
Ellen’s rating: 4/5
SUMMARY
Happy Endings are for fairy tales. Or the
movies. Not for real life. At least, not in Claire’s life. Even though she’s
starting over, she knows better than to want too much this time. But when she
falls, literally, into the strong arms of Hollywood’s ‘it’ boy Josh Wiley,
Claire’s in for some surprises. Her plans for rest and relaxation are forgotten
as one incredible night with Josh becomes two… And her heart begins to want him
as much as her body. Will two kids, one bastard ex-husband, and Josh’s juggernaut
career mean the end of their affair? Or can Claire find her happy ending after
all?
REVIEW
Set in the world of film stars, movie premieres, book
deals and the ever lurking press, this romance takes the reader on an exciting
trip to Los Angeles, Britain and Texas. What starts as a holiday and exciting
movie premiere seems likely to end in a flight from an abusive and highly
unstable husband.
The characters in this book, especially that of the
main character, Clare, are skillfully crafted and well fleshed out. Clare's
children are particularly realistic and thoroughly adorable. Her abusive ex-husband,
on the other hand, is portrayed as the ultimate mentally unstable control
freak.
Josh Wiley, the hero of the story, is everything one
wants in a romantic hero. Fortunately the author endowed her characters with
enough negative attributes so as to make them believable and ever so slightly flawed.
Although this book is almost purely a romance with
little in the way of action and suspense, things do pick up speed towards the
end thus providing a few chapters of truly edge-of-your-chair reading. The
romance in this book is sensitively written with numerous tender love scenes.
For a heartwarming romance full of beautiful family
moments, glamorous Hollywood parties, romantic interludes and an exciting, nail-biting
end, I highly recommend Hollywood Ever After.

SUMMARY
All Grace has ever done is run away. After high
school, she ran to Ole Miss, a college far away from her home in Sunset,
Louisiana. After college, she ran to a job in Wyoming that spared her from a
life in Jackson she didn't want. Now, at twenty-nine, her husband has passed
away and all she knows how to do is run, so she's run back home.
Now she must work through her loss while building a new life. First, she must repair her relationship with the younger sister she left behind. Then, she has to find a new job, which lands her dealing with an arrogant, sexist boss and a very competitive co-worker. They're the least of her problems, though. Her old college boyfriend, the one who broke her heart, is the Assistant Director. On top of that, her childhood friend, Morris, keeps showing up asking for a date and flaunting his country boy good-looks.
Going home seemed to be the right answer, but now she's tired of running. It's time for her to learn to let go, give in, and to heal. She has to learn that it's OK to remember, it's OK to hurt, and it's OK to love again. Can she convince herself to move forward? Or will the pain of her husband's death leave her unable to reach out to others?

REVIEW
Having
only read one other short story by this author, and it being a horror at that,
I’m enormously thrilled at finding that Tabitha Short can write an amazing and
absolutely spellbinding tale of love, family, healing, and starting anew, as
brilliantly as what she writes horror.
Though Renewal is a contemporary romance – and
I honestly am not a fan of huge productions of romance in books – I loved this
novel to no end because the romance was not the main focus of the story but
rather an addition to Grace’s character development. I’ve read books where the
main character grieves for the loss of a loved one or a spouse and the grieving
was so overwhelming it left me emotionally worn-out, so I was a little
reluctant to read yet another book where the protagonist has to deal with the
death of her husband and then start her life all over again. I was pleasantly
surprised to find that in this book, though Grace had regular tearful
breakdowns and had to deal with the pain of constant reminders of the life she
had with her husband before he passed away, I actually shared in her heartache
without feeling overwhelmed by her emotional outbursts. Short wrote these
heart-wrenching scenes really well and instead of alienating the reader from
Grace’s heartache, she makes you feel like crying with Grace and wanting to
console her.
What
really captivated me was the intricate family dynamics in this story. Grace
running away from her past impacts the lives of numerous characters. The bonds
between her and her sister, Jess, the set-up and daily routine at her parents’
house and Grace’s interactions with her niece, Kylee, as well as the
comparisons she drew between Brock’s treatment of her and her treatment of
Morris, were absolutely compelling. The reader is made to feel comfortable and
right at home in these characters’ lives, and once Grace starts at her new job,
the reader is also made privy to the things Grace experiences with new
colleagues and a chauvinistic boss. Grace is a highly intelligent character,
comfortable with who she is, unpretentious, level-headed, and knows how to
connect with others on many different levels. She stands her ground, and that’s
what intrigued me about her most. It was easy to relate to her, making her
exactly the type of female lead I’d like to see more of in women’s fiction.
The
underlying message of accepting that sometimes things happen for a reason, is
subtly and beautifully narrated throughout the story, and there were quite a
few instances where I had to wipe away tears, especially where it involved the
neglect of three-year-old Kylee by her juvenile father. All in all this is just
one of those books where you’ll miss the characters and think about them for
days after finishing the book. With rich characterization and a complex plot, Renewal is everything a contemporary
romance should be and so much more! Passionate, evocative, moving, and wholly
engaging; a story which refuses to be easily forgotten.

BOOK BLAST & GIVEAWAY: THE OFFERING by Kimberly Derting
The Offering by Kimberly Derting
True love—and world war—is at stake in the conclusion to The Pledge trilogy, a dark and romantic blend of dystopia and fantasy.
Charlie, otherwise known as Queen Charlaina of Ludania, has become comfortable as a leader and a ruler. She’s done admirable work to restore Ludania’s broken communications systems with other Queendoms, and she’s mastered the art of ignoring Sabara, the evil former queen whose Essence is alive within Charlie. Or so she thinks.
When the negotiation of a peace agreement with the Queendom of Astonia goes awry, Charlie receives a brutal message that threatens Ludania, and it seems her only option is to sacrifice herself in exchange for Ludanian freedom.
But things aren’t always as they seem. Charlie is walking into a trap—one set by Sabara, who is determined to reclaim the Queendoms at any cost.

BOOK BLITZ: EXCERPT: TETHERED (Birthright, #1) by Brandi Leigh Hall
Title: Tethered
Series: Birthright,
#1
Author: Brandi
Leigh Hall
Publisher: Self-published
Publication Date: October
29, 2013
Genres: New Adult,
Urban Fantasy
Hosted by: Xpresso Book Tours
SUMMARY
No matter how hard you
fight it—destiny has a mind of its own!
Since foreseeing the
imminent death of her parents six years earlier, Chloe has lived a simple,
not-so-charmed-life away from her remaining Wiccan family.
Zero magic.
No close friendships.
While struggling to
bench-press more guilt than any nineteen-year-old ever should.
But fate intervenes and
forces Chloe to return home. As if being an in-the-closet-Seer wasn’t bad
enough, now she has to spend summer break with the snarky sister who hates her—and
the magical birthright she was hell-bent on denying for all eternity.
Luckily, meeting Mr.
Perfect takes the edge off her endless family drama. Hunter’s twenty-five,
sometimes old-fashioned in a Jane Austen hero sort of way, and more delicious
than molten-lava cake. But the more she tries to hide her family’s magical
secrets from this ever-present stranger, the more quickly she realizes he’s
hiding a few doozies of his own.
Will the lies and
betrayal destroy their relationship before it really begins? Or will learning
of their tethered future create an unbreakable bond neither can deny? Either
way, their hearts will be forever entwined by destiny.
EXCERPT
He eyes me curiously. “Why, were you
afraid I was stalking you or
something?” Once the words roll off his tongue, a snicker bursts from his lips.
My face heats up. “Of course not! It
just occurred to me after you left yesterday I had no idea why you were
here...when you knew why I was. So now I know.”
“Now you know.” Mischief spreads
across his face, his eyebrows lifting with his crooked smile. “So, if you see
me back here a lot over the next few days, you won’t go thinking I decided to
stalk you after all, will you? Because if we’re here—on the same floor—seeing
the same doctor—we’re bound to run
into each other from time to time. I wouldn’t want you worrying for your safety
or anything, so I figured I’d put your mind at ease before it has a
chance to run away with itself again.” He laughs almost under his breath.
Seriously? Oh, he’s clearly enjoying this. But I’ll play
along. Why not? “Your consideration is touching.” I lift my hand to my heart.
“But if you should happen to change your mind about stalking me, please
just give me a heads up first. I’d be more than happy to provide you with my
itinerary. I know how daunting your schedule must be, so I wouldn’t want to
subject you to any difficulties which might further endanger your well-being.”
I tilt my head, batting my baby blues for affect. “If you like, I could even
leave a ladder outside my window...or binoculars in the tree across the street.
You know...just in case.” Feeling just a tad cocky from my rebuttal, I return
the same sideways smirk he’s now giving me.
“You see, I knew you were a
good woman from the first moment I laid eyes on you. Most aren’t willing to be
so accommodating.”
“Well, the way I see it...you risk
your life to protect strangers every day. It’s merely my civic duty to repay
your kindness. I’m nothing if not old-fashioned.” I re-cross my legs, trying
not to seem too confident.
He leans forward, elbows resting on
his knees. “Well in that case, I promise to let you know when I decide to stalk
you.”
“When...?”
My eyes open wide.
The second he laughs, I jump in right
along with him. How could I not with that amazing, smoky laugh of his? He does
seem to be enjoying this just as much as I am.
“You’re a lot of fun, Miss Chloe. And
a lot quicker than I expected. Very pleasant surprise.” He smiles. His
gorgeous, mocha eyes caress my soul.
Deep breath, Chloe. “Yeah well, you
caught me on an off-day yesterday. But I’ll be sure to bring my A-game from now
on.” I bump my knee into his as I lift my brows flirtatiously.
“I’ll hold you to it, you know. Comic
relief is in short supply around here.” He nods towards the emergency room
entrance.
“Yeah, hospitals tend to have that
effect on people. I can’t imagine why.”
An adorable blush lights up his
cheeks. I don’t know if I ever realized just how sexy it is when a guy gets
embarrassed. Though, I’m sure just about any
look would be attractive on Hunter.
“So, what do you do for fun in this
town, Miss Chloe?”
“When you figure that one out,
you can let me know. I have absolutely no idea. Lived in San Diego for
six years, remember?”
“Oh, that’s right. Well, perhaps some
evening after I decide to stalk you,
maybe I’ll lure you to my car with some candy. Then we can drive around and figure
it out together.” He leans back, eyeing me from under half closed lids as he
grins.
“Well that all depends on how long it
takes you to start stalking me. I can’t wait forever you know.” I do my best to
look serious, but I can’t quite tell if I succeed.
He tips his head back, belting out a
hearty laugh. “Fair enough.”
“So would it be presumptuous of me to
ask how old my perspective stalker is?”
His jaw drops. “I’m appalled! How dare you ask me such a personal
question? You have some nerve, madam.” His acting skills are lacking, but who
cares. He smiles. “I’m twenty-five. So will you bestow the same courtesy upon
me, Miss Chloe?”
Suddenly uncomfortable, I re-cross my
legs, again, then start bouncing my foot. “Are you sure you really want to
know?” Well, it was fun while it lasted. I know I’m way too young for him, and
now he’ll know too. I’m such a dumb ass for asking his age. Idiot!
“Of course I do. It can’t be that shocking.”
“You sure about that?”
“Oh come on, it can’t be that bad.”
I hold my breath for a few seconds,
then exhale. “I’m only nineteen.” My shoulders tense as I get ready for the big
let-down.
“So you’re still in school then?” His
head tilts to the side.
“Yup. Only two years left, thank god.”
“Hmm. I don’t know if I can stalk
someone who’s underage. I could get arrested for harassing a minor, you know.”
He attempts a serious tone.
“First, I’m not a minor...and second, I’d say that’s the least of your worries if you turn out to be a stalker.” Ha. Take
that, Hunter Payne!
“You do have a point.” He shakes his
head while looking at the sidewalk.
“Of course I do.”

her fur-ball cats (Onyx and Klepto), where she spends most of her time
