Blurb:

From the author of Because of You comes an all new Coming Home short story.

Sergeant First Class Shane Garrison has spent a year recovering from his combat injuries. A year spent in the arms of the woman of his dreams. But loving Jen comes with a price: every time he touches her, he faces the uncertain fear that loving her might mean losing her forever.

Jen is a breast cancer survivor and with Shane, she’s found a man who loves her despite her scars. But her scars may be too much for their love to survive.

As their love grows, so does the risk to Jen’s life. And …

Guest post by Jessica Scott + Giveaway

Today we are very happy to welcome back to BLI Jessica Scott who celebrates the release of Anything For You, her latest novella in the Coming Home series, which revisits the hero and heroine of her first novel, Because of You (you can check out my review here). So let’s start Valentine’s Day with some virtual chocolate and a delicious romance, please give a warm welcome to Jess and don’t forget to enter the fantastic giveaway at the end! 😀

Happy Valentine’s Day! I don’t know about you but I’ll never turn down an excuse for chocolate.

What’s funny is that I actually wrote a heroine in Anything For You who doesn’t really like Valentine’s Day and is not a fan of chocolate. Jen’s a simple woman but Shane is still struggling to figure that out. He wanted to do something really special for her but instead, they end up having an …

Romance and Me: The Sports Edition

Hey Everyone!

Lately I’ve been on a special romance sub-genre kick: devouring sport romances!

I’m sure that you have come across one of those stories where the hero and/or heroine are athletes, and while I have always enjoyed reading about sexy hunks as heroes, lately I’ve discovered this new addiction of mine. Be it sexy football player like Dean Silverthorne in Candis Terry’s Any Given Christmas, or the hunky hockey players like those in Lily Harlem’s Hot Ice series or Rachel Gibson’s Chinooks Hockey Team series, the irresistibly gorgeous soccer captain in Scored by Lily Harlem or star pitcher Park Jones in Nora Roberts’ Rules of the Game (the very first sporty hero I’ve read about), I love them all!

I’m not a sport fanatic, when the Olympics, European or World Cup football …

Guest post by Kelley Vitollo + Giveaway

You all know that I am a fan of Vegas romances, so it is my great pleasure to bring to you Kelley Vitollo‘s brand new romance, Luck of the Draw, which you might have guessed is one! So read on to learn more about the inspiration behind the story and if you leave a comment, you could even win yourself a copy of Luck of the Draw by Kelley Vitollo!

What Happens in Vegas…

Nope. It doesn’t always stay there! Rowan definitely learns that lesson in LUCK OF THE DRAW. I’ve always wanted to write a story where a character lets loose in Vegas. Rowan is strong and fun, but letting loose like that? Totally not her thing. As mean of an author as it makes me sound, I wanted to make her squirm. I wanted to throw her into a situation that she totally wouldn’t …

Cat got your tongue?

Tessa Williams is looking to make her mark outside the family business, and the unusual landlocked paddle wheeler she spots in Haines, Alaska, strikes her as the perfect location. Only the owner is being difficult, refusing to sell. Still, she’s sure that replacing her written queries with a little in-person charm is all she’ll need to shortly have her Eco-tour B&B on the road to success.

Local wolf-slash-owner of said vessel, Mark Weaver, isn’t hanging on to the landmark building out of spite. There are more reasons for holding back the sale than are easily explained on …
