#MysteryMonday : Author Christina A. Burke @christinaaburke @gemmahallidayca
Today I am spotlighting author Christina A. Burke who writes the Queenie Baby series and book 3, Queenie Baby: On Tour, was released today! To add to this great new release, the first two books in the series are offered for $0.99 which is a steal because I paid $3.99 middle of last week for this eBook…had I but known! I am finishing up this new release and am enjoying it so far…can’t wait to see how it ends. These books are billed as romantic comedies but there is a little bit of mystery in there.
Synopsis
Meeting your hot new boss in a bar while singing karaoke—bad. Being fixed up with your old high school boyfriend by your meddling sister—annoying. Making out in your sister’s minivan with said boyfriend—embarrassing. This week is shaping up to be a doozy for aspiring singer/songwriter Diana Hudson.
‘On the wrong side of thirty’ according to her mother and still living the bohemian lifestyle of a musician, Diana is having a double martini day. Although a sought after performer on the not-so-happening Annapolis, Maryland bar scene, Diana works as a temp at Greene’s Staffing to pay the bills. Her assignment this week: help the cape-wearing Mr. Vann Pyre find love online. Unfortunately for Diana, the only man in her life for months has been Max, her fluffy, white Shitzu-Poodle with a crooked overbite and a bad attitude. But unexpectedly, Diana finds herself up to her chin in men. Her mysterious new boss, Mark Greene, smells so good she’d like to hang him from her rearview mirror, and her chiseled, super-sexy high school sweetheart, Rick Ellis, is back to sweep her off her feet. When Diana’s love life goes from nonexistent to off the charts, will she give an old romance a second chance? Or will she take a chance on new love?
Review
This was a pretty funny book – and since it is billed as a romantic comedy that is a good thing. Diana is a talented musician waiting to make it big and in the meantime temps to pay the bills between gigs. She has 2 guys that want her…a problem we should all have!
I chuckled a lot in this book which always make it a winner in my book. Definitely a series to check out. I give it 5 paws
Synopsis
There’s no turning back now for temp-by-day and rockstar-by-night, Diana Hudson. She’s left Annapolis, Maryland to take a chance on love and to track down the singer who’s stolen her song. What starts as a romantic rendezvous with new love on the paradise island of Puerto Rico, quickly becomes a wacky cross-island adventure featuring a high speed guitar chase, a bull fight, and a swashbuckling pirate. Love blooms amid the lush landscape, until a hot bodyguard from Diana’s past exposes her new love’s secrets, turning her world upside down. Back home on dry land, Diana prepares for the annual Renaissance Fair and a visit from The Grands. With her career heating up, her family closing in, and her heart on the line, how will Diana keep it all together?
Review
This was a fun 2nd book in this series. my only problem with the book is that supposedly Diana corrupted a flash drive in book 1….I had just read book 1 and do not recall this at all and it bugged me throughout the whole book.
That aside, it has a lot of funny situations and I laughed out loud quite a bit and give it 4 paws.
Synopsis
For temp-turned-rock-star, Diana Hudson, touring with a Pirate Rock band has been a whirlwind. The Pirate-Heads’ Bash in Key West is the last stop on their tour, and she’s ready to hang up her sword and play house in Annapolis, Maryland with her uber-sexy boyfriend, Mark Greene. But her plans hit a sour note when Diana receives sinister scrapbook pages depicting her demise. A series of near-miss accidents and a meeting with an old enemy confirm she’s on borrowed time. Hunted by a hitman known only as The Spider, Diana and Mark embark on a madcap adventure to outwit the unseen predator. Instead of rest and relaxation after the long tour, Diana finds herself battling pirates at sea, dodging explosions, and hiding out with The Grands. Will Diana uncover the identity of the hitman before he finds her? Or has she already been snared in the The Spider’s sinuous web?
