Book Tour: The Suspect's Daughter by Donna Hatch

Determined to help her father with his political career, Jocelyn sets aside dreams of love. When she meets the handsome and mysterious Grant Amesbury, her dreams of true love reawaken. But his secrets put her family in peril.

Grant goes undercover to capture conspirators avowed to murder the prime minister, but his only suspect is the father of a courageous lady who is growing increasingly hard to ignore. He can’t allow Jocelyn to distract him from the case, nor will he taint her with his war-darkened soul. She seems to see past the barriers surrounding his heart, which makes her all the more dangerous to his vow of remaining forever alone.

*I was gifted a free copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review*

Jocylin is a feisty lady, determined to put her own life, and season, on hold in order to assist her father in obtaining his dream position as prime minister. Grant is a reclusive bachelor focused on proving her father to be guilty of one of the most heinous plots in all of London.

Something about Grant, whether it's the cruel scar slicing across his face, or whether its the fact he isn't like all the other eligible men of the Ton, Jocylin finds herself falling quickly for him. When she discovers his mission, she is heart broken, but puts her own personal hurt aside to assist in not only clearing her father's good name, but in finding the true criminal.

The Suspect's Daughter is filled with twists and heart breaking turns that will keep you guessing, and gasping as you watch the complicated plot unfold. The characters are deep, and their back stories make you not only care what happens to this dynamic couple, but makes you want to step in there and shake Grant until his teeth clatter together. Donna Hatch has done a truly masterful job yet again! Can't wait to see what she releases next! (And I need to read the first 3 Rogue Hearts Books ASAP!)

*****5 STARS*****

 

This is one of my favorite snippets:

-->

She strode away before the stinging in her eyes turned into tears. Stupid, stupid, stupid. She should never mistake moments like the one they shared at the pianoforte for true fondness. A man as prickly and wounded as Grant would not yield his affections so easily. Surely he’d always question or reject her attempts to reach his heart.

Book Tour: Grace After the Storm by Sandy Sinnett

Loves future can begin in the past.

Brad’s brother recently found the love of his life, and now he too longs to find his one. No one seems to compare to his first love from years ago, though - the woman he left behind for money and a career. To remind him of her love, though, on what would have been their wedding anniversary, Brad writes her a letter. Never mailed. Never read…until this year, after the storm ends. 

Hannah’s estate is in foreclosure - unable to keep her family’s estate after her parents’ death. Sparks begin to fly however after the estate is purchased and the new owner arrives. Not only was Brad the love of her life, but he’s also the man who walked out on her eight years ago. At first sight, Hannah’s grandmother believes their love still exists, and even as her health fades she works to help Hannah see the good in Brad.
Hannah must deal with painful memories from her past as she is forced to work with Brad and save her estate, but will her stubborn pride cause her to lose him again?
She begins to see Brad in a new light, and the love she felt for him long ago is reborn. When Hannah’s ‘little sister’ Clare discovers Brad’s secret, though, a storm of events will begin that may destroy their only chance for love, and may risk Hannah’s life in the process. Brad and Hannah will face both tragedy and loss as they rekindle their love, remembering that grace always follows the storm.

Sandy recently moved back to her hometown of Mt. Vernon, IL and lives there with her two youngest kids.  She currently works in Marketing for a local Children's Home and is busy working on another book

Snippet (#4)

Hannah walked over to her closet and opened the door. Bending over, she dug through a bunch of shoe boxes and old clothes and found a little wooden box buried at the very bottom – the words ‘My Jules’ carved into the lid. It was covered with dust and the rusty hinge creaked loudly as she opened it, revealing two items inside.
The first, an envelope with her name written on the front. Brad’s letter. She’d found it on the office floor the morning he’d left, and knowing that it contained his goodbye, she chose never to open it. Never to read it. Instead, she took it home and in a fit of anger and red-headed stubbornness, she ripped it in half, only to regret it later and tape it back together. The second item, a small velvet pouch that contained her engagement ring. He’d given her the box and the ring the night he proposed, just a month before he walked out. After that, she buried her pain and the memory of Brad in that little box - never to open it again. Never to think about him again. Until now. She lifted the letter out of the box, faded and yellowed with age. The tape was brown; the edges curled and peeling away from the surface. As she stared at the letter, tears welled up in her eyes. Her memory of that day was still stained by the awful pain she had endured. As it turned out though, his love had also left an indelible mark on her heart that she was never able to remove. Gently, she opened the envelope, pulled out the still-torn letter and laid the two pieces down side-by-side…then remembered.

Blog Tour: Window of Time by Debra Erfert

The difference between a curse and a gift is only a matter of perspective.

CIA courier Lucy James never gets used to seeing innocent people killed, but she copes with it—every day. Cursed with the ability to glimpse into the future when a death is about to happen, she has a short window of time to interfere—risking her life in order to change it. No one knows about her curse, until she saves a handsome Los Angeles firefighter trapped between her and foreign operatives hell-bent on intercepting her current assignment.

LA firefighter Johnny Cartwright’s life changes the moment he meets Lucy. His uncomplicated days flip to dangerously unpredictable after he’s drawn deeper into her secretive world of premonitions. His attraction to Lucy grows as he helps her stop a terroristic plot against the U.S., putting his life between her and certain death.

    

Top Ten List

1) I have an intense fear of flying, bad enough I need medication to even walk toward a plane.

2) I have an unreasonable fear of heights. I’m pretty sure this has an impact on my fear of flying.

3) I have two polydactyl cats. What’s a polydactyl, you ask? They’re adorable kitties with more than the normal amount of toes. Polly and Jack both have thumbs on their front paws. They’re also known as Hemmingway cats. He had a fascination with them. His home in the Florida Keys is a sanctuary for polydactyls.

4) I’m a multiple-award winning fine artist specializing in portraits. I received a drawing kit for Christmas when I was seven or eight years old, with a drawing pad, pencils, one of those silly gum erasers, and an awesome book that had step-by-step examples. I drew a little boy wearing a sombrero, and my mother used the side of a pencil and shaded it, making it pop off the paper. I used this memory in one of my books.

5) This little known fact is one that my husband dislikes; I love bags—handbags, tote bags, and messenger bags with sayings on them. I can’t pass by a display of bags without Mike grabbing my elbow and hurrying me by them. The top shelf in my closet is solely for bag and purse storage. I’m pathetic. It could be worse, I suppose. I might have the same obsession for matching shoes with each bag.

6) I’m married to a retired cop, who’s brother was a cop/latent identification expert, and who’s dad was a cop for 34 years, and now we have a son who’s in law enforcement. I'm never at a loss for experts when writing.

7) I was a volunteer with our local police department for several years. I rode with willing officers, went on calls with them. On occasion, I even helped in taking report information and traffic control. They didn’t let me carry a gun, although I did design their shirt patch.

8) I write a little bit of myself into every story. In WINDOW OF TIME, I am Lucy, without the premonitions—and sometimes I wonder about that. She‘s my alter-ego—my super-ego. She does everything that I’d do, if I could physically do it. It’s the same with my other stories.

9) In WINDOW OF TIME, the main character, CIA agent Lucy James, has a reoccurring nightmare from something she saw when she was six months old. I described the inside of a house from the vantage point of her crawling. This house was from my own memory. After I wrote it, I asked my dad where I’d seen those rooms, including a groovy beer neon sign on the living room wall. What he told me gave me chills. We were moving from Ohio, and they wanted to visit friends before we left—when I was six months old.

10) I wrote WINDOW OF TIME thirteen years ago. The nearly 900 pages of story took 4 months to write, but was sincerely a beginners draft. Since then, it’s been rewritten and reworked 4 times. Now I have a trilogy that’s growing into a series.

She was abandoned by her father at age seven. The child care workers seized her at age fifteen when her mother ran afoul of the law. Her first two foster care placements were terminated after sexual harassment incidents. On a spur-of-the-moment whim, she and her foster care buddy hid in the back of an almost loaded moving van. Six hours later, still fifteen years old, she was a runaway, homeless street person in a city she never even knew the name of. Soup Kitchens and Downtown Missions became her new homes. She used the alias, Mary Smith so the authorities would be less likely to find out her real identity and return her back north where she hailed from. As the weather turned colder, she and her buddy hitchhiked further south. She never knew why but her buddy, her only real friend, then disappeared from her life. She was sixteen and alone. Her life consisted of surviving one day at a time. There was no use even thinking about a future, but then a miracle happened.

Let's look inside the book!

"Dacque quietly checked the back door. The squatter had not bothered to lock it. He gently opened the door and paused, waiting for a reaction. The dormant figure did not move. Dacque turned on the flashlight but pointed it down by his feet. Reaching inside, he grabbed a hold of the well-worn running shoe on the top foot of the stacked pair and jiggled it back and forth. The squatter rolled over on its back but did not open its eyes. By the shape of her figure, Dacque was now certain that it indeed was the teenage girl spoken of in his dream. He shook the other foot this time. The young lady opened her eyes, sat up suddenly and glared at him for a second or two before swiftly turning towards the exit door behind her"
