They are slowly creeping out. Little by little they are revealing themselves and letting the sun shine bright on them. Yesterday I put two HUGE pumpkins in my front doorstep. I don’t like to put Fall decorations out until October, but Costco had huge pumpkins for a little over $5. each, and I couldn’t resist. Why should I? They are delightful. I gotta decorate while I can because October is one of my busiest months. Before you know it Halloween is here and I didn’t get to enjoy all the cute decorations. I don’t like the gory decorations. They give me nightmares. Witches, pumpkins, and skeletons are always welcome though. This Sunday will be a big day for decorations, so I gotta practice my serious look. I bought a few more decorations that hubby doesn’t know about yet. When he asks about them, I have to work really hard not to smile when I tell him they are not new and I have had them for years!

When a retreat becomes a nightmare…
When Cherie Marshall catches her fiancé and best friend in a compromising position, she cancels her upcoming wedding and jumps at the chance to escape to quiet Klondike, Pennsylvania to care for her elderly aunt.

As they both become acquainted with the close-knit Klondike residents, things get complicated as Cherie and Jazz find themselves in the middle of a local crime wave where arson, kidnapping, embezzlement and a decades-old murder are just the tip of the iceberg.

The Buggy List
by Courtney Rice Gager
4.2 Stars (177 Reviews)
Genre: Romance | Family Life

FREE for a limited time

Drew and Libby Sullivan have spent the past six years building the perfect life together. They have a beautiful home, flourishing careers, and they’re finally ready to take the plunge into parenthood. Well, almost. Despite the endless prodding from family, friends, and even strangers, there still seems to be something holding the couple back from starting a family. Perhaps that’s why they decide to take the advice of Libby’s older sister and make a list of everything they want to do before they have a baby. Making their baby bucket list, or as they call it, “The Buggy List”, buys them just a little more time to be Drew and Libby, who sleep in until noon on Saturdays and eat Chinese takeout for dinner on the couch. Besides, it gives Libby the opportunity to pull straight-laced Drew out of his comfort zone and do something fun for once; like go undercover as singles to a speed dating event with their friend, Tom; or finally take the honeymoon they never had. Drew and Libby each write down five items that they must complete before having a baby. But what starts out as a little harmless fun quickly becomes more than this couple bargained for. When secrets, little white lies, and competing desires threaten to pull them apart for good, Libby and Drew must rediscover why they fell in love in the first place.

The Debt Collector: LIRIUM (Season One)
by Susan Kaye Quinn
4.4 Stars (90 Reviews)
Genre: Science Fiction | Fantasy

FREE for a limited time

What’s your life worth on the open market?
In this sexy, gritty future-noir, debt collectors take your life energy and give it to someone more “worthy”… all while paying the price with black marks on their souls.

Lirium plays the part of the grim reaper well, with his dark trenchcoat and jackboots — he’s just in it for his cut, ten percent of the life energy he collects before he transfers it on to the high potentials, people who will make the world a better place with their work and their lives. That hit of life energy, a bottle of vodka, and a visit from one of Madam Anastazja’s girls keep him alive, stable, and mostly sane… until he collects again. But when his recovery ritual is disrupted, he has to choose between doing an illegal hit for a girl whose story has more holes than his soul or facing the bottle alone — a dark pit he’s not sure he’ll be able to climb out of again.

“ROCKY MOUNTAIN RETRIBUTION”
Chance Bondurant and his younger brother Jace are forced off their windswept grassland farm in Lane County, Kansas when their folks died of the fever.
The Bondurant brothers with no money and less hope head to the gold fields in the Colorado Rocky Mountains near the mining camps of Central City and Nevadaville, where a righteous gunfighter named Lucas Eldridge takes and mentors the older Bondurant after Chance witnessed the brutal murder of his brother at the hands of a roaming outlaw gang.
Years later, after learning a unique set of skills that included survival of the fittest amongst the high Rocky Mountains, the ins and outs of all manner of weapons and hand to hand combat, and after acquiring a killer instinct, Chance is now ready to embark on his “Rocky Mountain Retribution” and to ride his mare Storm beyond the great divide to track down the Bigger and Hammond gang to fulfill a sworn blood oath on the grave of his departed brother.
With a dark heart and a half wolf, half something else dog named Mutt, Chance encounters all the dangers the Rocky Mountains can throw at him that include outlaws, grizzly bears, renegade Indians, and the deadly weather of autumn and winter in the remote mountain frontier.
Trained to be a killer with no love in his heart, Chance meets Senorita Kellie Shawn Arriaga, the sister of a rogue Mexican rebel turned bandit, on the trail after rescuing one of her bodyguards. Smitten and with the prospect of true love, Chance hits the first crossroad of his life; one road is to start a new life with the beautiful Mexican girl bandit or follow the second road and continue his search for justice against the outlaws that killed his brother. Chance turns his back on the love that could have been and rides away to follow what he believes is his destiny in Grand Lake, Colorado.
Little did Chance realize that Kellie Shawn Arriaga and her bodyguards would fall victim to the outlaws that he was pursuing. Now Chance must not only complete his oath to his dead brother, but also rescue the woman who has stolen his heart. If he is to ever find happiness, it would be in a thrilling final showdown which has never before been written about.
