Bond of Love by Amy Suzanne #giveaway

As a picturesque mother and wife, forty-one year old Avery Richards seems to have it all. Married to a successful veterinarian named Noah and mother to a spunky daughter named Kara, her life is far from awful but she is stuck. With the recent move of their daughter, who has just flown the coop for college, this story examines the deep and often-tumultuous bond between mother and child and the lengths we are willing to go to, as mothers, to sacrifice our own happiness for the ones we love.

As we watch Avery walk through her ‘new’ way of daily life, without her ambitious and stubborn child around to mother any longer, we are given a very unique opportunity to tip toe in the front row of their lives, from three very separate views. We will see life as it plays out through her mature and motherly eyes, through Kara’s young and sheltered heart, and then through ‘someone else’s eyes’ that has a vested interest in them both.

As Avery’s well-hidden web of lies come crashing down in an unexpected way, her secrets that she’s safeguarded for years will threaten to rip her peaceful world apart, as well as the world of the ones she loves most. As readers, we will watch how ONE single choice can alter everything. Each character will then be forced to examine what the true meaning of love and forgiveness means to them.

Every gamut of emotion will be explored: humor, sadness, love, joy, betrayal, hate, and forgiveness. Bond of Love will leave you pondering the age-old question: How well do YOU actually know the ones you love most?

All for Hope by Olivia Hardin #GuestPost

All of Hope

To protect her heart, he left her behind.

To protect her life, he’ll leave the life he’s made behind.
Sometimes the safest distance between two hearts is no distance at all…

Kidnapping a baby wasn’t something Hope ever dreamed she would do. But she’s been burned by the legal system before, so when the court places her friend’s child into the custody of an abuser, she takes matters into her own hands. She steals the baby and fakes her death, hoping to make a clean getaway. She planned every detail, except one.

Her high school sweetheart and best friend, who left her years before, sees her at a gas station. Hope thinks all is lost, until he offers to help them.

Brennan had always been the love of Hope’s life, but he never wanted to be. She knows she cannot depend on him for long. However, as each day passes, it becomes painfully obvious that she is in way over her head. She goes with him, intending to keep him always an arm’s length away to protect her heart. But being on the run together sparks the old flames that once burned between Brennan and Hope.

Families, friends, and lovers must band together to save an innocent baby and a daring woman or both of their lives will be destroyed. Together, they’ll do it All for Hope…

 

Guest Post:

 

I admitted recently in a chat with Liz Schulte and Melissa Lummis that out of all of my characters, Hope is probably the most like me.  That means it’s easy for me to put myself into her mind and share some of what she likes.  Hope of course loves Christmas, so I thought I’d share some of my… er, her favorite holiday songs.

Hope’s absolute favorite Christmas song is O Holy Night.  She can remember hearing it when she was a child during church services and looking over at the almost life-sized nativity and imaging the awe and wonder of actually being there on the night Christ was born.  It transports her to that moment and humbles her to remember the true reason for the season.

For Hope’s inner rocker, we have the Tran Siberian Orchestra with Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo.  This song makes Hope was to string up Christmas lights!

And who doesn’t love Charles M. Schulze’ The Peanuts.  Hearing the song Christmas Time is Here makes Hope want to curl up with some popcorn on her grandmother’s lap and watch A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Whether it is her Catholic upbringing or just the nature of Hope, she was always fascinated by the entire Holy Family – Joseph, Mary and Jesus.  So the songs Breath of Heaven and It Wasn’t His Child are two of her favorites because they touch on the other two very important persons in that blessed family.

There are a few other songs in Hope’s playlist for you to enjoy too, but the last I want to mention is Hands by Jewel.  To me (Olivia) this song embodies the heart of the book All for Hope.  Several people each taking their parts in a task that most people would find impossible.  And yet each of them put out their hands and did what had to be done, because it was the right thing to do.

So what are some of your favorite holiday songs?  Were there any in Hope’s list you hadn’t heard before?

Merry Christmas and Happy Reading, everyone!

About the Author – Olivia Hardin realized early on how strange she was to have complete movie-like character dreams as a child. Eventually she began putting those vivid dreams to paper and was rarely without her spiral notebooks full of those mental ramblings. Her forgotten vision of becoming an author was realized when she connected with a group of amazingly talented and fabulous writers who gave her lots of direction and encouragement. With a little extra push from family and friends, she hunkered down to get lost in the words. She’s also an insatiable crafter who only completes about 1 out of 5 projects, a jogger who hates to run, and is sometimes accused of being artistic, though she’s generally too much of a perfectionist to appreciate her own work. A native Texas girl, Olivia lives in the beautiful Lone Star state with her husband and their puppy Bonnie.

Best Served Cold by Tawdra Kandle

 

By Tawdra Kandle

Sometimes revenge is your only choice. . .

Julia worked for weeks planning the perfect surprise birthday party for her boyfriend, Liam, but that night, she was the one who got the biggest shock. He broke up with her in front of all their friends, humiliating her in the process.

Clearly revenge was in order.

The plan is simple. Make him jealous, win him back, and then crush his heart. Fair is fair. However, there is one little hiccup and he has curly brown hair and dimples.

Jesse is everything she wants. With him, she could almost forget her bruised heart. Almost. Julia has one choice: let Liam walk away after everything he did, or lose a chance at love in pursuit of payback.
