Sneak Peek #2

My eyes went wide and my throat closed up embarrassed by my thoughts; I couldn’t believe I was thinking that. “Are you alright?” he asked reaching out to me in concern. I must have looked like I was choking or freaking out. Spider or gum? Spider or gum?  I thought quickly trying to come up with a believable excuse when I blurted out, “I swallowed a spider!” What? I swallowed a spider? What the hell is wrong with me?! I thought giving myself a mental forehead slap. His eyebrows shot up, “You swallowed what?” “Um, I meant I swallowed my gum when I thought I saw a spider by your desk. Yep, mhm,” I said with a nervous chuckle fidgeting with my hair, something I always did when I was nervous. Now he probably thinks I’m a weirdo he’s stuck with showing him around the office.

Beta Reading Time...

I just printed my first copy of Unexpectedly and tomorrow it will be in the hands of my first beta :) She's warned me that her attention span is not the best so if a book isn't interesting there's no way she'll be able to finish it so this is a major test for me! I've given her and my other betas a week to read and give me their honest feedback. Then I'll give myself a week to make any necessary changes, which hopefully won't be too many (crossing fingers!). So, just in time for Christmas my book will be available for your reading pleasure or as a great gift for the bookworm in your life ;)

Sneak Peek #1


Sneak peek #1...

Suddenly his laughter stopped and I was pressed up against my car, the world around me spinning from being moved too quickly. I held onto his shoulders and closed my eyes while I focused on not throwing up all over him.
“What the hell Bryce?” I groaned barely above a whisper anything louder and I was sure I would vomit.
“Sorry,” he whispered placing his hands firmly on my hips to steady me. I swallowed hard when he pressed up against my chest to put my purse down on the hood of the car. “Are you okay?” he asked searching my eyes.
He asked if I was okay, but it felt more like he was asking if what we were doing was okay. Any thoughts or feeling of nausea was immediately forgotten. Pinned by the electrifying heat pulsating between our bodies I bobbed my head a fraction. I could feel the beats of my heart start to slowly drum through my veins and pick up in rhythm as I watched his eyes make their way down to my lips. Without thinking I licked them in preparation for a kiss. My breath caught when he squeezed down on my hips pushing me up against the car just a little more. His eyes traveled back up to mine asking for permission and again I bobbed my head a fraction unable to move or say anything more. The feel of his muscles move beneath my hands as he dipped down planting his lips tenderly over mine left me hypnotized.
 

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory Review

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble (Jolie Wilkins, #1)Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book, the supernatural elements and the romance was done just right. There were a few parts where I skimmed because Jolie's thoughts could run a little long! I'll definitely be reading the next three books in the series and hope I won't have to wait too long for the happy ending between Jolie and her sexy warlock ;) If you're trying to decide to read this book and can't find your answer in all the reviews it's free on Amazon and probably on other e-book sites I'd say get it and find out for yourself--hopefully you won't be disappointed!

Finally!

I'm finally there...well nearly there. I have two more paragraphs to go and then it's off to my betas! I'm incredibly anxious. Thankfully I don't have the bad habit of biting my nails or I'd have none to speak of!

Looking at the nearly finished product it's nothing like my initial outline and that I hope is for the better! I know I took a risk writing about something somewhat taboo, but when the story came to me I just could not let it go.

Now in honor of my near completion I've decided to release another little sneak peek this time something with a little more depth and insight into Mary's unexpected story. So read the Sneak Peeks post above and enjoy!
