I have read a few books by author Bette Lee Crosby and she has yet to disappoint me!  Last week I posted about a free e-book for Cupid’s Christmas and this week I am giving away the book she sent me to read.  So check out the giveaway at the end of this post!

Synopsis:

When Cupid comes up against Lindsay Gray, he’s got trouble. He claims The Boss has a love mate for every human, but she’s determined to circumvent His plan and find it herself.

Lindsay is headed down the road to disaster and if Cupid doesn’t stop her, she’ll ruin her own life and the lives of two other people – people who are very deserving of the love they’ve been waiting for.  With the Christmas Day deadline growing ever closer, Cupid turns to the internet and enlists the help of a small white dog.

The dog is his only hope of getting Lindsay on the right track.

Review:

As I said before, Bette’s books have yet to disappoint me!  Cupid’s Christmas is fun and quirky story that warms your heart…and makes you want to shake Lindsay at the same time! Lindsay’s relationship with her dad shows growth in her maturity.  Lindsay also realizes that maybe life is about more than just yourself.

This is a fun and light read and could get you in the mood for the holidays…although it really isn’t a Christmas book like you might imagine.  Still a great read!

The Giveaway:

This is open to all US Residents.  The contest will end on December 16th.  All information will be deleted once the winner is chosen and the book has been mailed.

A few weeks back I mentioned going to Readers & Ritas and meeting author Melissa Bourbon Ramirez.  Well this week’s highlight is the first book in the new Lola Cruz mystery series.  There are three books out so far plus a Christmas Novella.  The second book is Hasta la Vista, Lola!, the third book is Bare Naked Lola and the  novella is The Lola Cruz Christmas Story. (when I looked up this novella it was free, but even at $0.99 it is still a bargain!)

 

Synopsis:

Meet Lola Cruz. After paying her dues as an intern, she’s now a full-fledged detective at Camacho and Associates. Her boss is Manny Camacho, a muy caliente former cop with a mysterious ex-wife, a Lara Croft look-alike girlfriend, and a sudden personal interest in Lola. Her first big case? A missing mother who may not want to be found. And to make her already busy life even more complicated, Lola’s helping her cousin plan her quinceañera, and battling her family and their old-fashioned views on women and careers. She’s also reunited with the gorgeous Jack Callaghan, her high school crush whom she shamelessly tailed years ago and photographed doing the horizontal salsa with some other lucky girl.

Lola takes it all in stride, but when the subject of her search ends up dead, she realizes she has a lot more to worry about. Soon she finds herself wrapped up in the possibly shady practices of a tattoo parlor, local politics, and someone with serious—maybe deadly—road rage. To top it all off, her treasured postcoital pictures of Jack are missing! Still, Lola is well-equipped to handle these challenges. She’s a black-belt in kung fu, and her body isn’t her only weapon. She’s got smarts, sass, and more tenacity than her Mexican mafioso-wannabe grandfather. A few of her famous margaritas don’t hurt, either.

 

Dead Running

Cassidy Christensen is running.

Running from the mercenaries who killed her parents.

Running from a scheming redhead intent on making her life miserable.

Running from painful memories that sabotage her dreams of happiness.

With two very tempting men competing for her attention, she hopes she’ll finally have someone to run to, but can she trust either of them? When secrets from her past threaten her family, Cassidy decides to stop running and fight for her future.

Cassidy Christensen wants to run.

Captured by the traffickers who killed her mother, her only hope is Dr. Tattoo, a man she loves but nobody trusts. When she finally gets a chance to run, someone else she cares about is taken. Running might be her only chance at survival, but she won’t allow another family member to be killed in her place.

This must-read sequel to Dead Running will have you laughing, biting your nails, and hoping for more.
