But before long, fate has something else in store for the sexy firefighter when a spark of attraction ignites into true love.
I don’t really know Marie Harte and after spending a lot of time on her website lately, I’m thinking I need to remedy that. Especially given her contemporary series, McCauley Brothers. It looks fun and hot and yummy. She’s got some incredible looking shifter series’ too that I’m going to delve into.
Her latest is book 4 in her McCauley Brothers series… (more…)

Into the Fire ~ Shelli Stevens: Shannon has always prided herself on holding her own in the male dominated field of firefighting. She likes to be in control. Until she strikes a bargain with a sexy man from her past who makes her give it all up in the bedroom.
I met Shelli very briefly at Authors After Dark in New Orleans a few years ago. It was the first time we’d met, though I’d known about her for several years. She’s cute, funny yet serious, and her stories are very fun. After all, who couldn’t be fun with a book titled Good Girl Gone Plaid? (more…)

Trouble is, Zac has made a promise to keep his distance from Tabby, so Zac’s best friend and fellow firefighter Quinn decides to help feed the flames of their mutual desire.
I met Le
ah a few years at the Lori Foster Reader/Author Get Together in Cincinnati. I loved meeting her and sitting and talking with her. She is funny and sweet and determined. If you don’t know her yet, you should get right on that.
Jake Grady loves Bull’s Hollow ranch and all the challenges and hard work it entails. But the past year hasn’t been easy—his father’s good name has been tarnished, and new financial problems are threatening to destroy everything the Gradys have built.

Combustible ~ Lexxie Couper: Arson investigator, Desmond Russell is the best in Australia. Cool, calm and collected, nothing ruffles him. Until he meets Outback fire brigade captain, Jess Montgomery, a woman who ignites all his sexual desires. The initial spark will engulf them both…but will their hearts survive the inferno?
Y’all, when Lexxie approached me about joining the box set for Five Alarm Alphas… Well, I’ve told you before that I was touched and humbled by it. She’s so loved by readers and reviewers alike and frankly, I wasn’t even sure she knew my name.
When she’s awake, I’m asleep, but every now and then if I was up late, we could connect and chat a little. And really, she had me at the words Tim Tams. Australian cookies. Oh. My. God. They are my favorite! I couldn’t resist the lure…

She’s done a tremendous job with the box set, the organization, and the whipping of us all 😉 (more…)
