Penelope Ward releases the cover for her new book ‘The Crush’

  Title: The Crush Author: Penelope Ward Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance Cover Design: Letitia Hasser, RBA Designs Photo: Harol Baez Model: Jeremy Santucci Release Date: February 22, 2021 BLURB From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone, second-chance story of forbidden love…  It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace.  He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had.  Fast forward a decade.  We were all in our twenties now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died.  It was just the three of us—an odd family dynamic.  Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever.  But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.  I was pretty much hot and bothered t...

Review: 'Every Breath' by Nicholas Sparks - story of second chances and if you are willing to take them

  Format Available : e-book, hard cover, paperback, audiobook Format Read : Audiobook by Sean Cameron Michael and Vanessa Johansson Goodreads Link : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38212843-every-breath Review Tru finds himself in North Carolina meeting his father for the first time, leaving behind his life in Zimbabwe. He runs into Hope and they have an instant connection. They know that they want to be with each other, but circumstances force them apart. Years later, they are given a second chance and they have to decide if they are going to be able to take it. I listened to this book as an audio book so the first part will be about that. then the rest will be about the rest of the book.  It took some time for me to get use Sean Cameron Michael who is the voice of Tru. The accent was hard to understand sometimes but I appreciate the dedication to wanting to be authentic. Vanessa Johansson was great for Hope. I think she did a better job at showing emotions for the c...

Marvel Studios announces plan for Disney+ and the next phase

  Marvel has been in the headlines today not only releasing the schedule for their next phase, but also releasing first looks at some of their new shows. Today, they released a trailer for The Falcon and Winter Soldier, Loki, What if?, and Ms. Marvel. Hailee Steinfeld makes her first appearance as Kate Bishop in the first still released from Hawkeye.  Let's start at the top. The Falcon and Winter Soldier is probably one of the most anticipated shows coming to Disney+. It starts Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie. They are taking over the role of Captain America (which makes sense because he does the work of two heroes)  The show is set to come out in March 2021. It is about time that Loki is the star of his own story. He is the villain that we all love and one that we all wish would win once in a while (if you need a reason why, watch the second Thor). It looks like Loki is going to be on the, dare I say, good side with this miniseries on Disney+. There is no release tim...

Sawyer Bennett's latest book 'Steele' is now available

  Steele (Arizona Vengeance, Book #9) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: December 8, 2020 Synopsis: A second chance may be just what James Steele needs ... I might be one of the older players on the Arizona Vengeance, but I like to think that also makes me one of the wisest. Or at least I used to. Turns out, I’ve been a bit selfish. I’ve been married to hockey and my team for years, which hasn’t left much time for my actual wife, Ella. Now I’m juggling a separation I never wanted, the pressure of being a single dad to our teenage daughter, and the career I sacrificed it all for. While my game on the ice might be on fire, the game in my personal life i s clearly lacking, as evidenced by the fact I just saw my wife on a date with another man. If I have any hope of saving the family I love, I need to re - prioritize, and fast. So it’s time for me to get back to fundamentals, just like I did when I learned ho w to play hockey. I’ve never backed down from a challenge, and romancing my wi...
