Today is the last day of the Avon Affair. I can't say how much I enjoyed these last 14 days. I want to thank Jena at Pure Textuality for setting this whole thing up. Thanks Jena! Today instead of one review I'm just going to give a shout out to my favorite Avon Authors, or some of them. :) Thanks for going on this trip with me! www.rachelgibson.com www.candisterry.com jenniferbernard.net I fell in love with Rachel Gibson and her writing a very long time ago. She's a fantastic author who puts a ton of humor in her books. Both Candis Terry and Jennifer Bernard are new authors for me and I fell in love with both. Are you feeling the love? All three authors are well worth the cost of their books. In fact they have a new one out that you can't beat the price. Crazy Sweet Fine came...

The odds were against it. The chances of it happening were next to null. But on that Thanksgiving Day the seemingly remote happened. They met... She glanced to her left. In the lane next to her, a black-haired, black-eyed giant of a man in a black Jeep aimed a ferocious scowl her way. He pointed to the cell phone at his ear and then at her radio, then back and forth a few times. "Excuse me?" Sabina said sweetly, though he had no chance of hearing her over the blaring radio. "If you think I'm going to turn my radio down so you can talk on your cell...

The Avon Addict Blog Hop continues at this link. Last week I chatted about Avon historical romances (at this link) ... but it is not the only genre I read. In fact, I often mix it up with a contemporary to cleanse the palate. And Avon's Contemporary Romances hits the spot. I met two authors new to me at RWA this past summer .... Candis Terry at RWA Candis Terry is the author of the Sugar Shack series. From her bio, The diversities in my life have enhanced (or twisted) my worldview. From working in a Hollywood recording studio to a graphic designer in marketing; from schmoozing with the likes of Charleton Heston and Motley Crüe to giving up my beach bum ways and making the move to an Idaho farm. I’ve designed costumes for 80’s heavy metal videos and scooped up road apples left on the parade route by...

Delight of delights, I was able to get an eARC of the soon to be released Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel novella, ONE FINE FIREMAN by Jennifer Bernard - love these firemen! ***eARC provided by publisher via Edelweiss in exchange for an honest and unscripted review. Blurb for ONE FINE FIREMAN: Kirk, aka Thor, one of San Gabriel’s infamous Bachelor Firemen, certainly lives up to his nickname. He’s tall, handsome, and has a chiseled body worthy of any Viking god. But he’d give it all up for one glance from her. Sweet, shy Maribel has no idea he’s been pining for her. There’s nothing he’d like better than to sweep her off her feet and show her just how exquisite their love could be. But Kirk has a secret and he won’t let anyone get close, least of all the sexiest woman he’s ever met. Can a feisty little dog...

Avon Romance recently bestowed me the honor of being selected as an Avon Addict! I discovered romance through Avon books ... and Avon Romance continue to fill my book shelves! Today Avon author Jennifer Bernard joins us in virtual Hawaii. Her appearance is timely this day after September 11. Jennifer's heroes are the Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel - their brethren of New York so gallantly responded to the World Trade Center. New York is familiar to Jennifer. From her bio, I graduated from Harvard University with a degree in History and Literature. I wanted to major in Creative Writing, but those students were supercool and I confess I was a geek. Even so, I knew I had to write. After college I worked for Macmillan Publishing in New York, where I wrote copy for yearly encyclopedia updates. Yes, it was writing, but I wanted to...
