A New Release - MADE IN PARADISE! by Donna Fasano #mgtab
~*~*~
I'mso happy to introduce a very dear friend and wonderful author,
***Donna Fasano***.
I've read many of her beautiful stories and they've given me umpteen hours of delightful reading.Her new release "Made in Paradise"is now safely downloaded on my Kindle and I'm looking forward to enjoying the intriguing tale
I’ve always loved books where a man and a woman are brought together by a child. My newest release, MADE IN PARADISE, is just such a story and one I hope will touch your heart. It’s the second book in A Family Forever, a series of stand-alone, themed romances where couples find love and a forever family after being brought together by little ones.
Here’s more about MADE IN PARADISE:
A Secret Made in Paradise�
Her child is alive! For ten years Amber has believed her child was lost to her forever. Then an unexpected inheritance leads the lovely doctor back home� to the man she’s always loved. There she discovers her beloved Jon is a bachelor father, and the little girl he is raising is their daughter!
Jon has vowed to protect and cherish his child, yet he opens their lives to let Amber in. But this dedicated father is no longer the young lover Amber remembers. Can she uncover the tender man she has never forgotten, and convince him to take a chance on their newly formed family, and their own true love?
You can find the eBook in these stores:

These giveaways are such fun to enter and the authors involved thank you, the readers, so very much!~*~*~To show you my personal appreciation,I've decided to give you a glimpse into the 1st book in my new Mob Tracker Series called "Sweet Retaliation". I've been sitting on this novel, not releasing ituntil Book #2 "Sweet Justice" is ready to publish soyou won't have too long awaitfor the second story of Cassidy Santino.This is the final Cover... revealed here.
Excerpt � Chapter One: What the hell was she doing following her brother, especially at night? Cassidy Santino didn’t do darkness. Not in the slums of a city like Las Vegas when, molasses thick, it threatened and terrified. Gagging, sweating, she’d reached the end of her backbone. Thoughts of giving up and retreating gobbled up the small amount of bravery still hanging on by a thread, making her hesitate. Then worry for her twin, Raoul, kicked in.Biting her lip, she eased forward so she could see around the rickety fence into the semi-lit alley behind a big warehouse. A group of men milled about in a circle. Two of them were head-to-head in a heated discussion. Adrenalin kicked in when she saw her brother step out of the circle. Raoul’s shoulders were hunched in the same way he’d hold himself when their father had intimidated him as a boy. She watched him flinch and start to turn away. Then the man he’d been arguing with let out a bellow, backhanded him across the face and shoved hard. Before she could get her bewildered brain to accept the incident, Raoul went down and the other men crowded in and began kicking him. No! Stop! Her mind screamed the words, but her voice didn’t connect. It froze. When she opened her mouth fear struck her mute. Though she tried to release her rage, to force sound past the blockage in her throat, not even a peep escaped. She’d never felt so useless in all her sad, ineffectual years. Forcing her limbs to move, she fell forward onto her knees but couldn’t get her leg muscles to function.Infuriating seconds ticked by as she watched the men work her brother over like he was a soccer ball, rather than a human being. God! Please� Movement, shuffling, a voice called out from another direction. “Police. Stop what you’re doing and back away. Get your hands up. Do it now!� Thank you, Lord! Confidence arrived with the authorities, and Cassi felt a flood of energy. Springing to her feet, she started forward. Before she went two steps, one of the assailants stepped over to Raoul, extended his arm and a gunshot changed the rest of her life. She heard her twin grunt and saw his body jerk. “No!� Fear vanished under her instinctive urgency to get to Raoul. She ran. To help him, save him, give up her life for him. He was all she had in the world, the only one who mattered.Blinded by grief, unaware of the loud gunplay going on around her, she fell to her knees next to his lifeless form. Before she had a chance to understand the danger, a man dashed out, swept her to the side and covered her with his own body. “Keep down.� Rough, his hands hurting, he pushed her head under his chest while she wiggled to get back to Raoul. “Stop it. You’ll get us both killed.� His voice, hard and angry drew her attention. She shook away from his hand and looked at him, trying to explain that the injured man was her brother and he needed help. When their eyes met, the bit of light from the building’s illumination revealed his face. Deep blue eyes, encircled with a dark outer ring of pure determination, penetrated for an instant, an order clear and visible that only a man in command could produce. Compelled to obey, but overridden by her need to get to Raoul, she kept pushing at him, until she felt him jerk and heard his grunt of pain.One of those monsters had shot her rescuer. Disbelief overwhelmed and in seconds the relentless fear returned. Imprisoned and helpless, the horror of the moment clawed at her sanity. Surrendering to its magnetic lure, darkness claimed her and she knew no more.

Helena Korin's Regency Romance � Book #2 An Orchid for Penelope #mgtab @HelenaKorin1
I’m so pleased to welcome my very dear friend Helena Korin to my blog today. She has just published her second regency romance novella. Part of her lovely story took place during the 1800’s and was about orchids . If you’d like to follow her blog go
Dear Friends and Readers,
I continue my tale of the English conservatories and the exotic plants grown in them. Joseph Banks, 1795, triggered the tropical plant hunting frenzy when he travelled to Haiti. He brought back thirteen hundred specimens plants and influenced other plant collectors. David Douglas was inspired to walk across North America in the 1820’s and collect samples. The Douglas fir is named after him. Captain Wilson brought plants back from China. Most of these samples were in the form of seeds, or corms or dry rizomes and roots.
The hardest part was keeping the actual plants alive on the trip back to England and Dr. Ward did a first test of his Wardian case, in 1833. He sent two specially glazed cases filled with British ferns and grasses to Sydney, Australia. They were essentially small trunks turned into greenhouses with a compost layer on the bottom, which could be watered and adjustable shutters. On a good day at sea, these cases could be carried up on deck and opened to let in sunshine and fresh air. A number of Australian plants that hadn’t previously survived the trip arrived back in England in good condition
The craze for exotic plants blossomed. Joseph Paxton, 1826, became head gardener at Chatsworth for the sixth Duke of Devonshire. He took glass houses to a new level when he built the great conservatory there. I am enclosing a picture of what it must have looked like in one of the grand glass houses. My second novella takes place in this interesting time period.

Special Agent Maximilian
Book #4 in the popular Undercover FBI Series
In this electrifying romantic suspense set in the steamy streets of New Orleans, Lieutenant Commander Nik Baudin, accidently meets up with an identical twin he never knew existed. When his brother Max goes missing, Nik assumes his identity as Special Agent Maximilian. This gives him access to FBI files making it easier to arrest the gangsters who attacked his brother and to stop their trafficking of underage girls. Being that Nik has specialized commando training, he’s the perfect man for the job - that’s if his PTSD doesn’t kick in and leave him cowering in a corner.
Special Agent Maya Barnes can’t believe it when she spots her partner, Max Foster, wandering along the French market without a care in the world. Since he’d been beaten and had gone missing weeks earlier, they all believed him dead. There’s only one problem� though this man might look exactly like the missing agent, she knows differently. In all the years they’ve worked together, she’s never wanted to have mind-blowing sex with her partner before.

Carole Mortimer - author of 220 books is visiting & I'm thrilled!! #newbook #mgtab
***I'mtremendously pleased to introduce you to my new friend and colleague, Carole Mortimer. She's a fabulous author with a zillion books to her name.
Hi Everyone,
Spring is definitely on its way because I have snowdrops out in my garden and the daffodils are all about 6� tall!
I would like to thank all of you for making 2016 such a successful year. All 9 books in my Regency Unlaced series have reached the Amazon #1 spot, with the books in my Knight Security series all being Amazon #1 & Top100 Bestsellers. I couldn’t have done any of this without all of you.
The pre-order of the 1st book in my brand new series, Regency Sinners, is now available. The book’s title is Wicked Torment (Regency Sinners 1), with a publication date of April 28th. I intend to write eight books in the Regency Sinners series, the heroes linked through friendship and their years spent together in the army. All of the stories in this series will be complete, with a HEA ending, but with a mystery that will continue throughout and conclude in the 8th book. Intrigued? I hope so!
Today is release day for Tamed by the Earl, the 9th and last book in my Regency Unlaced series. I’m really sorry to say goodbye to the characters in this series, but who knows, maybe a hero or heroine, or even two, will appear in the new series, Regency Sinners?
Enticing Ian, the 6th book in my contemporary Knight Security series is also available for pre-order and will be released on March 31st.
The stories in my romantic suspense series Regency Sinners, Regency Unlaced, Knight Security, and Alpha, are more explicit in their language and sexual content than my other books. In other words, they’re hot, so you have been warned!
Hope the rest of February is good for all of you.
Carole xx
