Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She’s learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story. Melanie is represented by Flavia Viotti at Bookcase Literary Agency.

Blog Tour w/Review: Fake Date by Monica Murphy
This is becoming one of my favorite series. I like the setting of Seaside/Monterey. I especially like how the heroines in the series are strong women who support each other. This time, we get Sarah, who works at Bliss, a lingerie store. Her romantic interest–well, the attractive guy, but a jerk–is Jared.
Jared is a fairly typical romantic hero, in that he is gruff on the outside for personal reasons, but the heroine can really get him going. His character had more depth than Sarah. It felt like her backstory was a little less fleshed-out, and I wished that her brother and sister had played a bigger part. As it was, they were mentioned off-handedly as a plot point but didn’t have much else to do.
Of course, you know from the title that there is a “fake date” involved, this time to an engagement party in San Francisco. The couple has to work through some family-related stumbling blocks and, as usual, there are a few misunderstandings. I thought the characters involved with the engagement party were interesting because they were not the stereotypical type one might find. There was no bitchiness (which was refreshing).
But there is a HEA. Overall, it is an enjoyable book with good characters, and I look forward to the next in the series. I was really happy to see that Jared’s sister Candice is getting a story, but there are plenty of gals left to match up!
Blog Tour: This Delicate Thing
Book Review: 29 Seconds by T. M. Logan
I loved T.M. Logan’s first book, Lies, and was hoping that he wouldn’t suffer a “Sophomore Slump” in the second book.
Spoiler Alert: He didn’t. This book was even better than the first.
From the teaser prologue, the book jumps back in time a mere two weeks to when the main character’s life takes a turn for the worse. Sarah is in a job that she loves with a boss who could win the title of “Worst Boss Ever.” A chance encounter and a split-second decision ultimately give Sarah the chance to change the trajectory of her life.
Sarah’s character was fascinating. I loved her job, and the academic setting was more interesting than a typical business or corporation. It also made the differentiation between public and private personas more striking.
As always, no spoilers, but in this case, I feel strongly about not saying much more about the plot because readers should be allowed to experience it on their own. As with the author’s first book, the action moves along at a swift pace. I finished this in less than 24 hours, reading deep into the night and getting up early in the morning to finish it (a girl has to sleep sometime; otherwise I would have read straight through the night. It was that good).
Also, similar to the first book, there are a few twists that keep the reader guessing. At one point I wasn’t sure about anything I had just read because it went in a different direction than I thought it would.
There were only two brief parts that I could have done without, and they involved mention of American politicians. I have commented on this with other books as well. If the book is not politically-oriented, and there is no bearing on the characters, there is no reason to throw it in. It seems gratuitous, and it takes away from the story at hand. I, for one, avoid political thrillers for this reason – I read to escape. And a jarring mention takes me right out of the story.
Those were minor, however. Overall, this is one fantastic book, and I don’t know why you’re still reading this review – go pick it up now!
New Release: One Kiss One Vow
Books-On-Tour: A Purrfect Alibi
I have always liked crime-solving entertainment, from tv shows to board games (does anyone remember Electronic Detective?) to books. I’m usually partial to grittier crime novels because they often contain twists and are harder to solve. But every so often, I enjoy a simple cozy mystery where I can “go along for the ride.”
When I get into that mood, Leighan Dobbs is one of my go-to authors. I am happy to report that her new release, A Purrfect Alibi is another winner.
From the opening introductions of mediums and psychics to the reveal of “whodunnit,” I was thoroughly entertained by this book. I love how the cats are important characters and are often smarter than the humans (anyone who owns a cat knows that this is true anyway).
In some ways, these books remind me of the Mrs. Murphy mysteries, mainly because of the way the animals communicate with each other and humans. But this series is much cozier and “fun-loving” (if murder could be called fun).
Honestly, you can read the blurbs for the plot, and with it being a mystery, I’m not about to write any spoilers. As always, you’ll have to read it yourself to find out what happens. But I will tell you that it is well-written and enjoyable. With the weather turning fall-ish quickly, it’s time to cuddle up with a cozy, and you won’t go wrong with this one.
USA Today bestselling author, Leighann Dobbs, discovered her passion for writing after a twenty year career as a software engineer. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband Bruce, their trusty Chihuahua mix Mojo and beautiful rescue cat, Kitty. Her book “Dead Wrong” won the “Best Mystery Romance” award at the 2014 Indie Romance Convention. Her book “Ghostly Paws” was the 2015 Chanticleer Mystery & Mayhem First Place category winner in the Animal Mystery category.
New Release: Fake Date
“This book was like the best sort of dessert. I. Am. Addicted.” – #1NYT bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken
Fake Date, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Monica Murphy is LIVE!
Working at Bliss Lingerie, Sarah Harrison deals with all sorts of—interesting clientele. Yet no one sparks her interest more than Jared Gaines, the ultra-rich, ultra-sexy businessman who frequents her shop, buying delicate little “gifts” for the women in his life.
But one day, Jared sends her a gift from Bliss. Then another—and another. So when Sarah walks into his office demanding to know why he can’t stop sending her gifts, he makes her an offer she somehow can’t refuse: be his fake girlfriend for the weekend while attending his brother’s engagement party.
Next thing Sarah knows, she’s in San Francisco, pretending to be in love with Jared. Not that it’s a hardship. Once you get the man away from the office, he’s much more relaxed. Sweet. Funny. Even…thoughtful? Oh, and sexier than ever, of course.
Their pretend relationship feels very real, very quickly. Soon Sarah’s in over her head. Could what she and Jared share turn into something real? Or is it all actually…fake?
