OPERATION SHADOW WARRIORS

An ongoing U.S. military experiment to test the integration of trained female military operatives in live combat scenarios…

The Alpha Platoon. A unit of Navy SEALs stationed in the unforgiving dryness of Afghanistan…who just learned that their newest team member is a woman. But Bay Thorn has a spine of steel—and the chops to prove it. Without a team to back her up, however, she's dead in the water. And her only ally is Gabe Griffin, a lone SEAL who is lethal, dangerous and unbearably attractive….

Between the open hostility from her team and the harsh al Qaeda territory, Gabe is a lifeline for Bay. But mutual respect quickly grows into mutual attraction. And with each day and every assignment, the longing only deepens.

They mustn't speak of it. Mustn't act on it. Because in this line of work, falling in love can get you killed….

A very late checking in:

We were without power yesterday after a storm moved through a transformer that made the power go off and on finally bit the dust so we had to wait for them to fix that. I had to go find a book to read on my tablet no way I was going to Cat & Bones in a blackout! I am the part where they are in graveyard calling up the dead. I'm too chicken to read it in the dark let alone the very dark and quit. So I read some more of These Old Shades. I need to go back and familiarize myself with who is who again. During the blackout Maisy ate something she shouldn't have and has been sick for the first time in her 12 years so I've been following her around cleaning her litterbox and her all morning. No Sleep. I was told no food for 12 to 24 hours. We go to 7 hours before I had to let her have just a little as she was just so hungry and couldn't sit or lay down for 7 hours and by then I was a zombie. She held that pretty well so two hours later gave her a little more and settled down. I woke up to her on the counter eating what was left over from Sweetpea's meal. Hubby's fault! So after that waited a couple more hours and so far so good. I just gave her a little more and she is sleeping and acting her happy self again.

I just got a call my mom is being rushed to the hospital via ambulance. She had a bad fall and hit her head. My sister called but the connection was so bad all I could make out was blood, Cumadin levels, very bad fall in a public place and that she was so scared for mom and something might be broken.

Oh I did buy one book last week. 99 cents one that was mention here.

Sending thoughts to you and your mom, Blossom. I hope she'll be okay.

Glad your kitty is on the mend.

Thank you! Me too. Maisy is a big baby and my poor neighbors probably though I was torturing a cat all night.

I talk to my sister and my mom since. Right now doing a full body CAT scan. They put her in neck brace and think her shoulder may be broken. She also broke up her ulcer on her heel she had surgery on early this year. She was coming down a ramp when her sandals got caught in her a rubber mat and her walker rolled away from her. She grabbed the metal railing to try to keep from falling but it was too late. She hit her head and shoulder on the railing and it knocked her out. EMTs lifted her onto the stratcher. My mother is 72 years old and about 300lbs. She is also on Cumadin so right now we wait and see but she is coherent and talking normally even with a goose egg on the back of her head.

I just bought this in the last Kobo contest.
Anyways, it's free now:
Tucker - Juliana Stone
Also at Kobo.
About:
When all hope is gone, can love still will find a way?

Tucker Simon has given up on love. After a tragedy, it’s just not in the cards for him, and he wishes his family would get off his back. He’s fine—or at least he thought he was--until a family wedding forces him to address a few things, namely his date, Abby Mathews. She's been put in the ‘friend’ category, mostly because she deserves so much more than what he can give. But the more time that he spends with her, Tucker begins to think that maybe there is a chance for love after all...

Abby Mathews has been in love with Tucker Simon since he walked into her family’s bar nearly a year ago. But he’s got baggage and heartache a plenty. His one-night-stands isn’t going to lessen that no matter what he thinks. Tucker needs a friend, but Abby wants to give him more, and as they navigate their way through a weekend in Florida, their attraction can’t be ignored. Abby has to make a choice. Does she cherish their friendship and take what she can get? Or does she go after what she really wants, which is Tucker’s heart…

Free from Amazon US DE:

New Life - Two Volume Set by Bonnie Dee. This one is self-published, but the author has written for Carina Press among others. I have read the first volume and would like to highly recommend it, if you like contemorary romances with an unusual twist.

For the first time paired in a boxed set, both New Life and New Year.

NEW LIFE
Since the car accident that caused traumatic brain injury, Jason has fought to regain his memories and the ability to organize thoughts and control emotions. His promising future shattered, he works as a night janitor in an office building and clings to routine to make it through his days.


New lawyer Anna breaks down one evening after fumbling her first court case. Self-doubt brings her to tears in a deserted stairwell where Jason finds her and offers comforting words. From this unexpected meeting an unlikely romance begins.


A casual coffee date soon leads to a deeper connection and eventually a steamy affair. But are Jason and Anna’s growing feelings for each other strong enough to overcome the social chasm that divides them and the very real issues of Jason’s disability?

NEW YEAR
Tension and family holidays go together like eggnog and candy canes.

When lawyer Anna brings her boyfriend Jason home for the holidays, it’s a recipe for family drama. Her parents have high expectations for her fast-track future. And those don’t include her hooking up with a kennel worker suffering the results of traumatic brain injury.

With a lousy memory and a shaky past, Jason knows he’s no prize. But what he and Anna have together is priceless. An impulsive proposal on the way to her family’s house seems the best way to prove his feelings for her are forever. Anna’s hesitation to accept stops his heart. And when she seems willing to use him to get back at her manipulative mom, Jason wonders if he’s made the mistake of his life.

Exposed to the light of critical eyes, Jason and Anna’s fairy-tale romance threatens to crumble. The hurdles of their pasts may prove too much for this princess and her pauper. And this new year may ring in bright beginnings – or the end of all their hopes and dreams.

I bought all the Anna Eberhardt and Tiffany White books when they first released (I think I used 30% coupons ). The TW ones I had read in print when they first came out, but the AE ones are still languishing in my TBR mountain. Oh well

So.... my free trial of KU was deemed a success. The Carolyn Brown titles I read were over $10, and it looks like all of the Montana Born Brides series are in KU, which I've started reading backwards with a Sarah Mayberry book (love her books and was wondering if I'd come across any Aussie references with a book that takes place in the US!).

I'm in it for the Audible credits, though, not sure if I'll keep it beyond three months. For romance readers there are a *lot* of titles from which to choose.

Oy...
Horror...
The kobo contest codes appear to not work when travelling anymore. Quite frankly, I'm too tired to figure out work-arounds right now.

Venus and Koland, sorry to hear about your renovation dilemnas, not good and hope this week has brought some good news.

Blossom, good thoughts to you and your family.
