<i>From the New York Times bestselling authors of America’s First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton—a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. Haunting, moving, and beautifully written, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza’s story as it’s never been told before—not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal—but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.</i></h1>

<i><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12pt;">Wife, Widow, and Warrior in Alexander Hamilton’s Quest to Form a More Perfect Union</span></i></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: large; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12pt;">From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling authors of <i>America’s First Daughter</i> comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton—a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. Haunting, moving, and beautifully written, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza’s story as it’s never been told before—not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal—but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.</span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: large; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt;">

<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: georgia, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: large; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12pt;">Coming of age on the perilous frontier of revolutionary New York, Elizabeth Schuyler champions the fight for independence. And when she meets Alexander Hamilton, Washington’s penniless but passionate aide-de-camp, she’s captivated by the young officer’s charisma and brilliance. They fall in love, despite Hamilton’s bastard birth and the uncertainties of war.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12pt;">But the union they create—in their marriage and the new nation—is far from perfect. From glittering inaugural balls to bloody street riots, the Hamiltons are at the center of it all—including the political treachery of America’s first sex scandal, which forces Eliza to struggle through heartbreak and betrayal to find forgiveness.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "times new roman" , serif , serif , "emojifont"; font-size: 12pt;">When a duel destroys Eliza’s hard-won peace, the grieving widow fights her husband’s enemies to preserve Alexander’s legacy. But long-buried secrets threaten everything Eliza believes about her marriage and her <i>own</i> legacy. Questioning her tireless devotion to the man and country that have broken her heart, she’s left with one last battle—to understand the flawed man she married and imperfect union he could never have created without her…</span></div>

In New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden’s latest novel featuring the Last Option Search Team (LOST), one agent’s investigation entices a killer into making her his prey.
PARTNERS…FRIENDS…
Forensic anthropologist Victoria Palmer has always been better with the dead than the living. Shutting down her emotions, she lets few people in. But then Victoria’s latest investigation takes her and agent Wade Monroe to Savannah, Georgia. Handsome, dangerous, and more than ready to play dirty on any case, Wade weakens Victoria’s aloofness with just one glance.
…TO LOVERS
Wade knows their recent cases have pushed Victoria beyond her limits. But her skills are crucial to finding a college student who went missing five years ago. Victoria is able to determine she was murdered, and that the killer is still on the loose.
And when the vicious murderer targets Victoria, Wade must do everything in his power to protect Victoria… because he refuses to let a woman he loves be torn from him...again.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20.8267px;">Wow, I loved this book. I just wish I had had time to read the others in the series before reading this one. his is the fourth! I am now going to have to play catch up. I am one that really likes to read her books in order too...oh well. I am not a reviewer that believes in putting up any spoilers so I am deliberately vague about the story line in most of my reviews, but highly recommend this one folks. This book has everything I enjoy in a good read. A good strong woman, a strong man, and intelligence in both. I love forensic anthropology and so when these things all come together in a great mystery with a little love thrown in with great writing I cannot resist. I didn't know about these until this one was offered up to me as something to review and I jumped at the chance! Please take my word for it...Pick them up...you won't be sorry...Start with this one if you must, but read them all.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good Afternoon,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a while and so I thought I should check in...you know, in case you all thought I might not be around anymore...I am though...I just haven't written in a while...It has been a stressful year in my life. I don't like that. I don't like that at all. So I don't write about it. I figure you all don't want to read about all that shit in your free time...this stuff is suppose to be for pleasure reading, right? so..anyway...Here I am...My daughter sent me a text while I was at work the other day, it went something like this..."My time hop says that a year ago today we found out that you had breast cancer again...I love you Mom" Sweet...So I posted that on FB and said I love her too...I don't know what I expected...but it was not what I got...interesting...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It will be a year on July first since the bilateral mastectomies. I had quite a long recovery time which must have put something out of wack at work, because I only got a 1% increase this year..a joke! But this is a pink, happy place, right? I am hoping for more this year because I have actually become cleared on, what for me, is a new procedure(Pre implantation Genetics Biopsy) I guess we will see...<a href="http://www.advancedfertility.com/videos/PGD-trophectoderm-biopsy.mp4">biopsy.mp4</a> for those of you that would like to take a look at this fascinating stuff, it really is...there is the link...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So anyway...later in the year, I had reconstruction with implants...sounds good, right? Well, I am one of the few people that can say that my original girls were quite something and oh so much better than these fake ones...I will let it go at that...lol</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So I am hoping for bigger and better things from here, but what is with this cold and rainy spring!?! Anyone???</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have taken to reading light hearted cozy mystery bundles and have taken a break from my regular hard core regulars but I will return to them I am sure...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What are you all reading?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh and don't worry, the advocacy is still going strong. I am now the Chair of the Komen Advocates in Science Steering Committee and have been doing all kinds of good stuff...maybe I will go into more detail on that in another post...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

We are absolutely thrilled to bring you the Release Week Blitz for Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie’s AMERICA’S FIRST DAUGHTER, a historical fiction novel is published by William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins, and releasing <strong>March 1, 2016</strong>! AMERICA’S FIRST DAUGHTER is a compelling, richly researched novel by bestselling authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie.

<strong>About AMERICA’S FIRST DAUGHTER:</strong>
<em>In a compelling, richly researched novel that draws from thousands of letters and original sources, bestselling authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie tell the fascinating, untold story of Thomas Jefferson’s eldest daughter, Martha “Patsy” Jefferson Randolph—a woman who kept the secrets of our most enigmatic founding father and shaped an American legacy.</em>
From her earliest days, Patsy Jefferson knows that though her father loves his family dearly, his devotion to his country runs deeper still. As Thomas Jefferson’s oldest daughter, she becomes his helpmate, protector, and constant companion in the wake of her mother’s death, traveling with him when he becomes American minister to France.
It is in Paris, at the glittering court and among the first tumultuous days of revolution, that fifteen-year-old Patsy learns about her father’s troubling liaison with Sally Hemings, a slave girl her own age. Meanwhile, Patsy has fallen in love—with her father’s protégé William Short, a staunch abolitionist and ambitious diplomat. Torn between love, principles, and the bonds of family, Patsy questions whether she can choose a life as William’s wife and still be a devoted daughter.
Her choice will follow her in the years to come, to Virginia farmland, Monticello, and even the White House. And as scandal, tragedy, and poverty threaten her family, Patsy must decide how much she will sacrifice to protect her father's reputation, in the process defining not just his political legacy, but that of the nation he founded.

<strong>Advanced Praise for <em>America’s First Daughter</em>:</strong>
“America’s First Daughter brings a turbulent era to vivid life. All the conflicts and complexities of the Early Republic are mirrored in Patsy’s story. It’s breathlessly exciting and heartbreaking by turns-a personal and political page-turner.” (Donna Thorland, author of The Turncoat)
“Painstakingly researched, beautifully hewn, compulsively readable -- this enlightening literary journey takes us from Monticello to revolutionary Paris to the Jefferson White House, revealing remarkable historical details, dark family secrets, and bringing to life the colorful cast of characters who conceived of our new nation. A must read.” (Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Empress)

<br /></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Mr. Short smiled. “If you could give up all thoughts of the convent, our future depends upon the orders your father is awaiting from America. Your father has asked that in his absence, I be appointed in his place as <i style="line-height: 22.72px;">chargé d’affaires</i>with commensurate salary. If I receive such an appointment, then I can present myself to your father as a worthy suitor. Otherwise, I’m afraid he’ll consider me a wandering wastrel without employment.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Mr. Short chuckled mirthlessly. “You think not? I have in my possession a letter from your father lecturing me on the need to build my fortune. The most memorable line reads: <i style="line-height: 22.72px;">This is not aworld in which heaven rains down riches into any open hand.</i>”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">How churlish of Papa, but had I not, from the youngest age, also received letters filled with his lectures? “You mustn’t worry, Mr. Short.

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">I didn’t expect him to laugh. “You’re Jefferson’s daughter, to the bone. You want evidence. Well, give me the chance and I’ll give you the proofs you require—both of my love and of the world you should love too much to abandon even for God. I wouldn’t have you enter a convent, much less love, in ignorance.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">With mischief twinkling in his eyes, he stopped, drawing me into a grove of trees. Beyond us, in the ditch, we heard boys playing a ball game in the dim lamplight. Somehow, in the dark, Mr. Short’s fingertips found my cheeks, and his mouth stole over mine. This first kiss was soft and tender. As if he feared frightening me. Nevertheless, it <i style="line-height: 22.72px;">shocked </i>me. It was like my heart was a loaded cannon he’d held fire to, and it threatened to shoot out of my chest. But I wasn’t frightened and I didn’t pull away. Instead, it seemed quite the most natural thing to kiss him back, mimicking what he did, glorying in every soft, sweet sensation.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">At the feel of my lips teasing softly at his, he groaned and pulled back. “Oh, my heart . . .”</span></span></div>

I’d beg your pardon if I could bring myself to regret it, but I never want to regret anything with you, so tonight I must content myself with one kiss.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So as 2016 continues to begin, I continue to wish things would get better...Monday was the kidney surgery...I suppose it went well, but of course the aftermath is still with me and I am still off...At the risk of TMI(hey this is my blog) I cannot hold it at all...Luckily I already had 2 days scheduled off...The kidneys are throbbing...and even though it was not done at GBMC I still was able to run into a nurse that I know:)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have looked at many pictures of cute puppies and pinned a lot of pink stuff...read a little...and oh...have I mentioned the three day migraine...I don't know what that is about but I am so over it! The Maxalt isn't working...and while the Hydrocodone/acetaminophen does wonders for the throbbing kidneys it does nothing for the migraine...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ah well...the sun is out and I am alive...</span><br />

<strong>About </strong><strong><em>LOVE IN THE LIGHT (Hearts in Darkness Duet #2)</em></strong><strong>:</strong>
<em>Two hearts in the darkness…</em>
Makenna James and Caden Grayson have been inseparable since the day they were trapped in a pitch-black elevator and found acceptance and love in the arms of a stranger. Makenna hopes that night put them on the path to forever—which can’t happen until she introduces her tattooed, pierced, and scarred boyfriend to her father and three over-protective brothers.
<em>Must fight for love in the light…</em>
Haunted by a childhood tragedy and the loss of his family, Caden never thought he’d find the love he shares with Makenna. But the deeper he falls, the more he fears the devastation sure to come if he ever lost her, too. When meeting her family doesn’t go smoothly, Caden questions whether Makenna deserves someone better, stronger, and just more…<em>normal</em>. Maybe they’re too different—and he’s far too damaged—after all…

<a href="http://www.inkslingerpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Love-in-the-Light-Teaser-2.jpg"><img alt="Love in the Light - Teaser 2" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13935" src="http://www.inkslingerpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Love-in-the-Light-Teaser-2.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a> Here is an excerpt:“Do you want to get changed and I’ll set dinner out?” Caden asked.<br />
<br />
“Yeah,” Makenna said. “Sounds great.” The kitchen, dining area, and living room were one big room, with her bedroom door toward the far end. She paused there and looked back. Caden moved around her little kitchen, comfortably and familiarly, and he just looked so freaking good there. In her space. Well, their space now.<br />
<br />
He still had his townhouse in Fairlington, but he rarely slept there anymore. And it was so bare bones in furnishings that he preferred they not sleep there because he feared she’d be uncomfortable. A part of her wasn’t sure why he even kept it at this point.<br />
<br />
“What?” he asked, giving her a skeptical look.<br />
<br />
She grinned and leaned against the door jamb. “I rode our elevator today.”<br />
<br />
He shook his head. “Anything interesting happen?”<br />
<br />
“Oh, I got trapped with a smoking hot stranger and made out with him in the dark. The usual,” she said.<br />
<br />
He smirked. “That never happens.”<br />
<br />
Makenna threw her head back and laughed. Still smiling, she changed into jeans and a pink camisole with a low back, and then she threw a warm, chunky caramel-colored cardigan over that.<br />
<br />
She found Caden sitting at the set table, containers of food overflowing with several types of noodles. It smelled amazing—savory and spicy and like she could eat everything she saw.<br />
<br />
For a moment, the look on his face made her think he was upset about something, but then he saw her and his expression transformed into a sexy smirk. “Smoking hot, huh?”<br />
<br />
Laughing, she took the seat next to him. “You fishing for compliments, Grayson? I already said you were freaking gorgeous.”<br />
<br />
“Yeah, but that’s not the same as smoking hot.” He arched a brow, and damn if his playfully smug, expectant expression wasn’t hot as hell with his brow piercing and the widow’s peak of his dark hair.<br />
<br />
She picked up her fork. “Okay, then how about this? You are so freaking gorgeous and so smoking hot that you make my heart race and my mouth water and my panties melt. Every time I see you. How’s that for a compliment?”<br />
<br />
Caden’s smile was slow coming but so damn sexy. “I like tattoo night.”<br />
<br />
She laughed and shook her head. “So do I.”<br />
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year! At least I sure hope so...because as some of you may know 2015 has not been my friend:( I try not to make this a sad pink place but jeeze...the year started out with some of us losing a very special woman. Sue was a genuinely good person who brought goodness and light where ever she went and she will be forever missed...we begin 2016 remembering that at this time last year we lost her... Things could only get better from there right!?! well, one would think so...She and I would have celebrated an anniversary together. It was on New Years Eve in 1994 that I found my lump and went through all that followed. And so it had been 20 years in January 2015 since my diagnosis of breast cancer...20 years! And while I would not have wished for such a thing, many things have happened to me as a result of that fateful day that cannot be denied, both good and bad. I am not the person that I would have been...A story for another day...</span><br />

You guessed it...I am now a two time breast cancer survivor, as I was diagnosed for the second time following a stereotactic biopsy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">July 1, 2015 I had bilateral mastectomies. After being out of work an unprojected 11 weeks, I headed back to work. Not completely healed. But with the Dr. OK.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I had not particularly favored reconstruction but went ahead with that. It is not going well. One expander was destroyed before heading back to work and it is now becoming clear that the other is not retaining fluid as it should be and therefore not expanding.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just last week my plastic surgeon had the nerve to ask me if I had ever considered gastric bypass surgery as, if I were smaller, she would not have to make my breasts as big...let that sink in for a minute...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just typing that sends my BP up...Let me get this straight...You, who have no idea if I am even a candidate and have no idea what my eating habits are...in order to make your job a little easier...think I might want to get gastric bypass surgery...Gee, let me think about that for just a tiny little minute...Um...NO!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all, I will not go into detail here, but I and my primary care know what I put in my mouth each day and there is not enough food to bypass my stomach unless you need me to starve. When I walked every single day I lost nothing at all...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I have breast cancer and the treatment for same to thank for this...don't get me wrong, I am thankful for the treatment and happy to be here:) Just not so much for the metabolism I am left with and people like her...She will just have to work harder...I also have some news for the little Dr. I, even as a perfect size 2, had a C cup...so you have your work cut out for you no matter what! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sorry, did I mention the whole thing brings the rage out in me..."just breathe"</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">OK, so anyway, just recently I have found out that in the next two weeks I have to make a decision about what to do about all of this...I will be seeing My PCP tomorrow in order to have presurgical testing for the bilateral cystoscopy with laser lithotripsy on the 11th. Both of my kidneys have many large kidney stones Oh joy...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">SO it looks like 2016 will have to finish up some things from 2015 before we can begin anew. But I think my word for this new year is going to have to be Adapt...More on that later...Also my new mantra will be...What would Sue Do?...WWSD? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now of course there were some good things in there...I reread the entire JD Robb In Death series while I was recovering:) Loved that!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My Daughter has been a Godsend and my Husband and My Parents have rallied around me to show me much love and support...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have had the last two and a half weeks of the year off for the first time ever and that has been nice...although I did work Christmas and the weekend...I cannot complain though, as it was the first time in over 26 years that I had had to do so...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I go back to work tomorrow and have to let them know about the little surgery...so wish me a little luck...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh and hopefully you will see me here at TrulySimplyPink a little more often in 2016:)</span><br />

<strong>About <em>LOVE IN THE LIGHT (Hearts in Darkness Duet #2):</em></strong>
<em>Two hearts in the darkness…</em>
Makenna James and Caden Grayson have been inseparable since the day they were trapped in a pitch-black elevator and found acceptance and love in the arms of a stranger. Makenna hopes that night put them on the path to forever—which can’t happen until she introduces her tattooed, pierced, and scarred boyfriend to her father and three over-protective brothers.
<em>Must fight for love in the light…</em>
Haunted by a childhood tragedy and the loss of his family, Caden never thought he’d find the love he shares with Makenna. But the deeper he falls, the more he fears the devastation sure to come if he ever lost her, too. When meeting her family doesn’t go smoothly, Caden questions whether Makenna deserves someone better, stronger, and just more…<em>normal</em>. Maybe they’re too different—and he’s far too damaged—after all…

<span style="font-size: large;">So here is an excerpt:</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<i style="line-height: 21.3px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">I’m thrilled to be here celebrating the release of my 21<sup style="line-height: 18.9333px;">st</sup> book, HARD AS STEEL! After a midnight break-in at her apartment, close friends and Hard Ink Tattoo co-workers Ike Young and Jessica Jakes are forced into hiding—and forced to confront the feelings they’ve always denied for one another. I have always adored friends-to-lovers and forced proximity stories, and HARD AS STEEL delivers that and more, including a taste of both my award-winning and best-selling Hard Ink and upcoming Raven Riders series! Check out this excerpt:</span></span></i></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">They stared at each for a long moment. Jess went from feeling amused to awkward to observed…and that made her hot. Especially as she was standing there in nothing but a towel.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">As if he could hear her thoughts, Ike’s gaze slowly ran down her neck to her chest. She wiped at something there and the wetness on the fingers told her it had been a droplet of water from her hair. Ike watched the movement of her hand openly, hungrily, and his desire made her bold, daring, hungry in return.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Without giving herself time to second guess the idea, she reached out and lightly dragged her wet fingers against his bottom lip.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">And it was like she’d unleashed a beast.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Ike grabbed her wrist and hauled her to him. He was on her everywhere. His hands in her hair, on her back, grabbing her ass and lifting her up. His tongue licked the exact route that water droplet had taken, from chest to neck to ear. And then he was kissing her, fucking her mouth with his tongue, absolutely devouring her.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Jess held on like her life depended on it, and at some point she became aware of the breeze on her bare skin. She’d dropped the towel, which meant she was totally buck-ass naked in Ike’s big arms, and she couldn’t have cared less.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Ike licked her mouth, sucked her tongue, nipped at her lips. He turned and made for the stairs, and Jess thought she might die from sheer joy and anticipation. He tasted like strength and sin and sex, and she tightened her legs around his hips as he carried her to the loft, eager to see if <i style="line-height: 22.72px;">all</i> of him tasted so good—or even better.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">When they reached the second floor, Ike growled low in his throat and his grip tightened on her on her ass, his fingers digging in. She moaned and—</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Cool air from the ceiling fan washed over Jess as Ike dropped her onto the bed—and promptly turned around to leave. Jess was so stunned she couldn’t speak. Just as he hit the top of the steps, he said, “Don’t fucking tease me, Jessica. I’m trying to do right by you, but I’m still just a goddamned man.”</span></span></div>

Fellow Hard Ink tattooist and Raven leader Ike Young promises to keep Jess safe for as long as it takes, which would be perfect if his close, personal, round-the-clock protection didn't make it so hard to hide just how much she wants him—and always has.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px;"><br style="line-height: 22.72px;" /><br style="line-height: 22.72px;" /><span style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; line-height: 22.72px;">Ike Young loved and lost a woman in trouble once before. The last thing he needs is alone time with the sexiest and feistiest woman he's ever known, one he's purposely kept at a distance for years. Now, Ike's not sure he can keep his hands or his heart to himself—or that he even wants to anymore. And that means he has to do whatever it takes to hold on to Jess forever.</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22.72px; line-height: 22.72px;"></span></span></div>

Don't miss what Laura Kaye has to say...</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>A Hard Ink Special Announcement from Laura Kaye!</strong></h2>
As I celebrate the release last week of <em>Hard to Let Go</em>, the finale in my Hard Ink romantic suspense series, I’m super excited to share some <em>more</em> news about Hard Ink! I’m going to do another book in this series. And not just any book. I’m going to write a wedding novella for one of the couples in the series!! And I’m so flippin’ excited!!!
This is how this idea came about: I happened to see another author celebrating the release of a follow-up wedding book, and I’ve never written any follow-up stories about any of my characters—once they’ve gotten their happily ever afters in their original story, I just moved right on to the next couple. But that author’s book got me thinking about who I would even do a follow-up story on. Who is it that would get married? My initial thoughts went right to the Hard Ink series, of course, because I’ve been immersed in this world for the past two years and absolutely adore these characters. Seriously – I know many of us have joked about the title of the last book being apropos, and trust me when I say I’m feeling that, too. <em>I</em> want more Hard Ink myself.
And then I had to ask – which couple? My gut instinct was to say Nick and Becca. They started the series, have been together the longest, and the personal issues they each have and struggles they each face are less than some of the other characters. BUT…
But then my brain started to think about all the other couples. And as I thought through all of them, I could make a case why <em>any</em> of the Hard Ink couples might be the first to get married.
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
And that’s where YOU come in.</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
I can’t decide which couple to write.</h2>
I could make the argument for Nick and Becca for all the reasons above. I could make the argument that Shane would be eager to take care of Sara in every way he can. I could make the argument that Easy and Jenna’s bond would be so tight because of the hell Easy’s come through and him having saved Jenna’s life. Marz has never wanted anything more than a family, so I could see him being eager to make Emilie his forever. Jeremy and Charlie had the bond of best friends before becoming lovers, and I could see the two of them wanting to prove the depth of their love by committing to forever. And Kat so knocked
Beckett on his ass that I could see him wanting to hold her tight and, well, never let go – and finally have a family that valued him.
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
So, yeah, I can’t decide!</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Which means you guys get to.</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
For real.</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
I’m letting you pick.</h2>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong>
Taking a deep breath, Beckett knocked on the door.
No answer.
He turned the knob, and the door opened.
“Go away,” came a strained voice.
Beckett poked his head through the opening. Kat sat in a ball in the corner, her legs pulled up to her chest, her arms hugging herself tight.
“Aw, Jesus, Beckett. Really?” Her face was splotchy and her eyes watery, though he didn’t see any tears.
Ten-to-one she was going through some adrenaline letdown right now, too. Which no doubt made it all worse. That shit could fuck you up even when you were used to how it left you feeling drained and shaky, by how all the stress you’d suppressed during the height of the crisis boomeranged twice over after the fact.
He came into the room, closed the door, and turned the lock for good measure. And then he crossed to Kat, scooped his arms under her knees and behind her back and lifted her up against him.
She smacked his chest. “Put me down.”
“No.” He moved to the edge of the bed.
“I don’t need this right now, Beckett. Put me down.”
“Yes, you do,” he said, sitting on the edge of the mattress. He pulled her face in against his throat and smoothed her hair back from her cheek. She trembled against him, just the littlest bit, her skin hot to the touch. He pressed a kiss to her forehead and hugged her tighter. “You did good, kid.”
Every one of her muscles went tight. Her hand fisted in his shirt. And her breath caught as she buried her face against his neck and shoulder.
Then Kat burst out crying.
And it was like being torn apart and put back together, all at once. He hated her pain, but he adored that she wasn’t hiding herself from him, and that she was letting him be there for her.
He didn’t shush her, or try to talk her down, or encourage her to dry her eyes. To be sure, her tears were like daggers in his heart—they hurt like fucking hell. But the only way she was going to feel better was to let this shit out. Ironic realization for him—he did actually see that. But just because you could see what was good for others didn’t mean you had the first goddamned idea how to apply those principles in your own life. And that was a problem for another time anyway.
What mattered right now was Kat. What mattered … was Kat.

<strong>About HARD TO LET GO:</strong>
Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.
A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.
Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>My Review:</b> So to say this is that this is my favorite of the series might be a stretch, or...it might not...I just can't decide! I love them all...Laura Kaye has made each one better than the last. Beckett and Kat's story does not disappoint. The suspense is there and the guys are back and protecting their women while still working to clear their name. There are just enough twists to keep you on your toes and I feel sure that everyone will be satisfied with the way that this one turns out. not too sappy, but just right! Laura Kaye does it again!</span></div>

<strong>About HARD TO LET GO:</strong>
Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.
A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.
Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.

<span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt-<span style="color: magenta;">"The Final Victim" from Hellfire & Damnation III</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Lee acted as though he were reaching for the door handle of the ancient Ford truck. Instead, he pulled the large blade the Reverend had given him from beneath his jacket.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Lee and Jeremiah had discussed the best way to dispatch prey as large as David Downing. Jeremiah had much more experience in killing things. He had sacrificed stray dogs as large as one hundred pounds. Jeremiah had advised Lee, “Slit his throat, Lee. It’ll be messy, yes, but he’ll bleed out faster if you slash him straight across the jugular vein and the carotid artery. Take his body and remove the leg. Cut it off, if you have to. Bring the peg leg here. Throw his body in a ditch where no one will see you do it. Dump the knife in the Rock River. Take his truck, but when you finally abandon it, wipe it down for fingerprints. Can you remember all that?”</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Jeremiah looked dubiously at Lee, wondering if Lee had the intelligence and chutzpah to pull this off. The Reverend had been grooming Lee for this for months now. The lucky coincidence of the migrating European starlings had given Jeremiah the perfect opportunity to prey on the ignorance and naiveté of this child-man. Jeremiah could hardly believe his good fortune when the poor boy had</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">stumbled into his tent that warm June night, following his mother, Cassie. Jeremiah knew right away that he had found his patsy.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">The knife sliced through Dave’s neck so cleanly that Dave didn’t even cry out. The blood spray from the violence splashed on the interior of the windshield. On Dave’s clothes. On Lee’s clothes. All over the interior of the truck. Lee walked around the outside of the truck to the driver’s side. He pulled Dave Downing’s limp body from the truck. Dave was still making a gurgling sound. He put up little fight before lapsing into unconsciousness, hands clutching at his hemorrhaging neck. The decorated veteran was taken completely by surprise.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Lee dragged Dave’s body to the ditch. He threw him headfirst into its depths. There was a small amount of water in the bottom of the four-foot ditch. It was into this blackish murk that Lee plunged after his prey, carrying out the plan to remove Dave’s fake right leg. The leg came off easily. Lee did not have to use the knife again. He was grateful for that. Lee tried to rinse his blood-soaked hands and face in the black water.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Lee was breathing heavily. He was splattered with blood. His heart was pounding so loudly in his chest that he was certain it could be heard miles away. Lee heard a voice in his head shouting, “YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED HIM!” The voice was louder than those he routinely heard,</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">but the message was a recrimination. The voice didn't say it, but Lee felt as though the voice would soon add, “YOU STUPID IDIOT! YOU STUPID IDIOT! YOU STUPID IDIOT!”</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">When Lee had Dave’s peg leg firmly in his bloody grasp, he expected to find green bills spilling forth from the truncated area where the peg leg had been attached. But there was nothing in the leg. Nothing concealed under the leg, either. This surprised Lee, as Jeremiah had painted a picture of large amounts of cash that the veteran would have secreted inside his wooden leg.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Lee threw the peg leg into the truck bed. He climbed behind the wheel, glancing furtively to his left and right, looking for the tell-tale sign of a taillight heading away or headlights coming towards him. Lee was feeling guilty and he was feeling queasy. The voice in his head kept screaming, “YOU KILLED HIM! YOU KILLED HIM!” Lee just wanted the voice to stop. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">So this book was provided to me for an honest review...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">This is a collection of short stories...of the horror variety...We are told in the beginning that we will travel through Dante's 9 circles of hell..and then we jump right in! Each story is quickly and directly told and they are Quick, Fun Horror, reads! Just enough to draw the reader in, make you think, and then conclude and rush on to the next one...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">What a great collection of short stories. I just love a collection of short stories now and then don't you? Just the thing to take you away when you don't have much time but want to see a story have a beginning middle and end in the time frame that you do have. Like maybe at lunch, or before bed, for instance, if you dare!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Great collection! Pick it up! Oh and I hear there are Hell and Damnation I and II also...</span></div>

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Excerpt-Bergen pushed himself into his seat and zipped up the sleeping tube. He turned his head to observe Jane sleeping. Now that everyone else was settling down for rest, he could have an unguarded moment, knowing the others couldn’t see him anymore.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Something had happened to her, but he didn’t have a clue what that might be. She’d been sort of entranced by the symbols on the wall, then she had just flipped out. That wasn’t like her at all. The entire journey, she’d been a rock—affable, even-tempered, kind. She had worked hard to keep the peace under incredibly difficult circumstances—and succeeded.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">She’d only once shown any sign that the stress was getting to her. It had been shortly after getting a data stream from Houston about a month before, filled with personal emails, meant to be a morale booster. Within minutes of the download completing she had been silently crying and trying to hide it. It had kept happening. Frequently. For days. No one else had seemed to notice. He’d seen Varma talk to her once, but it hadn’t helped. He’d started to get angry that everyone was ignoring her suffering, or couldn’t see it, which seemed worse.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">One day she had herself tucked into a little nook that she haunted, an electronic reader in hand. He’d been just a foot away, eating a meal, when something splashed on his face. He had been sure it wasn’t food because he hadn’t opened anything wet yet. He had looked up and realized that it had been a tear that had escaped her efforts of concealment.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">He had three younger sisters. He’d observed his parents performing miracles with hugs when they were all small. He’d even stooped to it, himself, when desperate. So, it had gone against his better judgment, but he just couldn’t watch her struggle anymore.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">He hadn’t said anything. He hadn’t wanted to draw unwanted attention. He had just pulled up close and wrapped his arms around her.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">She had stiffened at first, then had melted into him, tucking her face into his chest, heaving soundless sobs. He had waited until she pulled away, murmuring apologies, but he hadn’t replied or even met her eyes. He hadn’t wanted to embarrass her. He had just moved away. It seemed to be what she had needed, because she hadn’t cried again after that.</span><br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">I was given this book for an honest review...</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">I don't usually read much science fiction but the blurb appealed to me and so...here we are...</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">I have to say that I enjoyed this book very much and can highly recommend it to anyone that is not usually into this genre, but is open to reading...please give it a shot. I don't like to give much away in my reviews and so I won't say much. I like adventure and I like interpersonal relationships. I believe that this book does have both on different levels. </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">It is good to try things out of your comfort level and this one is worth the shot. A great read! Go for it!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And after working the last two, I sure am happy to have this one off. Even if I did wake up with a hell of a migraine...sigh...Oh well...I was supposed to attend the Survivorship day put on by both Hopkins and Komen MD...That did not happen...Some guilt there...as I was going to be a team player as I am an advocate/volunteer for both...Don't worry, I shot off an email...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, after going through my anti migraine regimen and getting some more sleep things began to calm down...and here I am...blogging...Have not done that in a while... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There have been some changes in my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The big one I guess, would be on the breast cancer front. This will be the first year in <b>many</b> that I am <b>NOT</b> the chair of the Survivor Tent for Komen Maryland. That was a labor of love for over 13 years with a short break for a 2 year stint for Race chair. I was on other race committees before that but the survivor tent was my baby.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here we are setting up the day before the race last year...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However, as our race was upwards of 35,000 people at one point, it is/was a lot of work and a lot of stress...I have left this love of my life in capable hands.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But have no fear. I have not given up the fight. You see, there was always the other advocate activities that had me so busy also. I am still working with Komen MD and Johns Hopkins. The TBCRC, and the other organizations also... I am the co chair of the Advocates in Science steering committee for Susan G Komen and that keeps me very busy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In fact, I think perhaps some day I will do a series of posts dedicated to the "work" that I do so that you all will understand...As it is this post is getting a little long winded.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So then the real/ paying job has been a big drain lately...No matter how much you love what you do...there are times that are intensely challenging and this is one of them...enough said...Oh...that picture? That is a very nice human blastocyst...All in a days </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">work:)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So I think that is enough for today! More than enough actually...how have you been? What's new? I hope to be around more now...we will see, won't we?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Anyway...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is a little pink just for fun...</span><br />

<h2>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;">Praise for <em>When Camels Fly (Parched Series Book I):</em></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;"><em>"Page-turning international suspense--this writer is on her way up</em>."-<strong>DiAnn Mills, Christie Award winning author</strong></span>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;">"<em>An exciting novel of suspense, intrigue, and mystery. Very nicely done.</em>"-<strong>Paul Johnson, Readers' Favorites</strong> </span>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;"><em>"It's obvious from the writing that the author has spent time here."-</em><strong>Ellis Shuman, Times of Israel</strong></span>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;"><em>"The book was fantastic, and nearly impossible to set down. Highly recommended.</em>"-<strong>Kathryn Bennett, Readers' Favorites</strong><em> </em></span>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;">"A unique, totally out in left field, never been told story. I love that."-<strong>Every Free Chance Blog</strong></span>
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;">Advance Praise for <em>My Brothers Keepers</em>:</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;">"<em>The Brothers' Keepers</em><em>, book 2 in the</em> <em>Parched</em> <em>series, delivers masterful international suspense driven by contemporary family dynamics. Light the late-night oil because you won't want to put this book down</em>."-<strong>DiAnn Mills, Christy Award Winner</strong></span>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;"><em>"I thought Horton peaked with her first novel, When Camels Fly. I'll admit, I was wrong. The Brothers' Keepers is magnificent! The main characters from her first novel are beautifully developed in this sequel. </em></span>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;"><em>This is a more accessible novel than When Camels Fly mainly because of the location -- Europe. She incorporates the history of the places her characters visit, and she weaves an incredibly feasible story around these events. The story is as complex as When Camels Fly, a good thing that requires close reading, but it is well worth the effort.</em></span>
I highly recommend reading When Camels Fly before this one and continuing journeying with the Madison family!-<strong>Leigh Bennett, Reader</strong>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; font-size: 14pt;"><em>"I am once again became enthralled by the exploits of an intelligent, older woman and her family whom I first got to meet in When Camels Fly. It's so rare to find a heroine that the more mature amongst us can relate to on some level. I look forward to learning more about Grace, Mark, Maggie, Jeff and Becca as they become embroiled in yet another adventure after Maggie goes missing and an attempt is apparently made on Becca's life whilst she and Jeff are honeymooning in Switzerland.</em>"-<strong>Anne Rogers, Reader</strong></span>

<strong>ABOUT HARD TO BE GOOD:</strong>
Hard Ink Tattoo owner Jeremy Rixey has taken on his brother’s stateside fight against the forces that nearly killed Nick and his Special Forces team a year before. Now, Jeremy’s whole world has been turned upside down—not the least of which by a brilliant, quiet blond man who tempts Jeremy to settle down for the first time ever.
Recent kidnapping victim Charlie Merritt has always been better with computers than people, so when he’s drawn into the SF team’s investigation of his army colonel father’s corruption, he’s surprised to find acceptance and friendship—especially since his father <em>never </em>accepted who Charlie was. Even more surprising is the heated tension Charlie feels with sexy, tattooed Jeremy, Charlie’s opposite in almost every way.
With tragedy and chaos all around them, temptation flashes hot, and Jeremy and Charlie can’t help but wonder why they’re trying so hard to be good…

<strong>ABOUT HARD TO LET GO:</strong>
Five dishonored soldiers.
Former Special Forces.
One last mission.
These are the men of Hard Ink.
Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how
powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.
A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers' Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger's gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he's also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat's brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett's sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies' crosshairs. Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.

<strong>Praise for the Hard Ink Series:</strong>
For <em>Hard As You Can</em>:
"TOP PICK! There is a sinister and desperate edge to this tale that will keep readers glued to their seats. Kaye has dark romantic suspense nailed!" ~ RT Book Reviews Magazine

For <em>Hard As It Gets</em>:
"Edgy, sexy and full of suspense! A great read from a great new author!" ~ #1 NYT Bestselling Author J.R. Ward
"Sizzling romance... The intriguing tattoo parlor and military background will appeal to fans of Suzanne Brockmann and Lindsay McKenna." ~Publishers Weekly Review

<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">This book was given to me as an uncorrected ARC. I cannot say enough about this book! A wonderful addition to the Hard Ink series and in keeping with the other books the hero is to die for and will make your heart melt. Laura Kaye seems a master at the inner workings of the hard assed hero and this time is no exception. Things are not always perfect for our hero, but that's life...This book picks up right where the last one left off and of course leaves us hankering for the next one in the series. I actually find myself envying the readers that are looking forward to the release of the book on the 25th. They have a lot to look forward to!</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Get ready everyone you are in for a real treat!

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">Grey and Ben fell in love at thirteen and believed they’d be together forever. But three days before their wedding, the twenty-year-old groom-to-be suddenly died from an unknown heart condition, destroying his would-be-bride’s world. If it hadn’t been for their best friend, Jagger, Grey never would have made it through those last two years to graduation. He’s the only one who understands her pain, the only one who knows what it’s like to force yourself to keep moving when your dreams are shattered. Jagger swears he’ll always be there for her, but no one has ever been able to hold on to him. He’s not the kind of guy to settle down.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal;">It’s true that no one has ever been able to keep Jagger—because he’s only ever belonged to Grey. While everyone else worries over Grey’s fragility, he’s the only one who sees her strength. Yet as much as he wants Grey, he knows her heart will always be with Ben. Still they can’t deny the heat that is growing between them—a passion that soon becomes too hot to handle. But admitting their feelings for each other means they’ve got to face the past. Is being together what Ben would have wanted . . . or a betrayal of his memory that will eventually destroy them both?</span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Molly McAdams grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry daughter. Her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling and long walks on the beach, which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. When she's not at work, she can be found hiding out in her bedroom surrounded by her laptop, cell, Kindle and fighting over the TV remote. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies, fried pickles and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm...or under one in a bathtub if there are </span></span><span style="font-size: 15px;">tornadoes</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good Morning...Although most of you won't see this until later than that...My title refers to our local Susan G Komen Race for the Cure. I live in Maryland and I have been involved in some form or another since 1996. That would be the year after my diagnosis in 1995. For many years now, with a short break for a stint as race chair I have been the Survivor tent chair. I have also served as Volunteer chair and teams and other things...</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I and my small committee plan all year and the the day before the race is set up day! We work all afternoon to make sure we have the tent all decorated and ready for the thousands that will visit the next day! This year I had the added excitement of passing a few kidney stones Friday morning before work...never a dull moment!</span></div>

All in all it was a good day...It always is...The year can be frustrating< as it can be hard to get people to read and return emails, we have no budget, and I have been doing this labor of love a very long time...My day job has become much more challenging as of late.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is also the fact that I am very involved in the advocacy side of the breast cancer movement...But I feel that that is a post for another day...</div>

All of that is a very long way to say that this year has been my swan song...It is with mixed feelings that I must say that I am retiring from the leadership of the KomenMD survivor tent.</div>
