Party Time with Constance Phillips!!

Our celebration week continues! Today we're celebrating the debut of Fairyproof, a paranormal romance written by Constance Phillips and published by Crescent Moon Publishing!!

I met Constance at my very first MVRWA meeting, and she made me feel right at home. Soon, we were meeting for coffee and writing every week. Back then we actually worked on our books when we met. And she wrote the bulk of Fairyproof during that time. (I loved that season of our friendship, Connie!) Those months of writing and chatting, just her and I, will always be dear to my heart.

Anyway, I'm SO proud of Constance. Let's grab some festive food and get started!

Constance loves ice cream--really, who doesn't?--so we couldn't have a party without it.



In honor of our coffee/writing sessions, I'm pouring these gorgeous cups of frothy joe for everyone!


Okay, are you settled in? Let's talk about Fairyproof!!


Fairyproof ~ When Monique finds out her brother, Kieran, is planning her future with the one fairy she wants nothing to do with, she seeks refuge in the human world. Now Kieran fears she will be the next victim in a string of murdered fairies and is determined to bring her home.

Hiding should be a breeze. She can control any human with a flirtatious smile and an attraction spell. Until, meets Daniel Elliot, the only human who’s immune to both.

A year ago, Daniel’s fiancée disappeared with the engagement ring, an Elliot family heirloom. He’s ready to move forward with his life, but his mother’s obsession with retrieving the ring makes that impossible. Then Monique walks into his office to apply for a job.

Daniel and Monique can’t deny their attraction, but will the reason he’s Fairyproof be too much to overcome?

I LOVED this book!! Here's my review of Fairyproof!

(I received an advanced reader copy of Fairyproof with no obligation to review it. All opinions are my own.)

Fairyproof opens with a clever concept--what happens when a fairy meets a human who doesn't yield to her charms?--and quickly evolves to a fast-paced, tension-filled story of a woman with everything to lose who risks her very way of life to be with the man she loves.

Ms. Phillips did an amazing job of keeping me on edge with the creative story twists, her world-building capabilities, and her talent of wrapping all of the elements around the tight cord of the burgeoning love between Daniel and Monique.

The first half captured me; the last half left me panting for more! I hope Fairyproof becomes a series because I didn't want to leave any of these characters behind!
Have I convinced you? If not, this trailer will!!



About Constance:

Constance Phillips lives in Ohio with her husband, two ready-to-leave-the-nest children, and four canine kids. Her perfect fantasy vacation would involve hunting Dracula across Europe with her daughter, who also digs that kind of stuff.

When she’s not writing about fairies, shifters, vamps, and guardian angels, she’s working side-by-side with her husband in their hardwood flooring business.

She’s actively involved in her local Romance Writers of America chapter (MVRWA), and the Southeast Michigan chapter of the United States Pony Club (which her son is also very active in). When not writing or enjoying the outdoors, she loves reality television or can be found at a Rick Springfield concert (just look for the pink Converse high tops).

Debut Novel Party for PM Kavanaugh!!

Guess what? Two of my best friends have debut novels coming out this week! So we are celebrating it up on my blog!! It's virtual party time all week. :)

I'm thrilled to kick-off the celebrations by presenting Die Run Hide, a fast-paced thriller, oozing with romance, written by PM Kavanaugh and published through Crimson Romance!

First, grab a cup of coffee (or tea or water!). PM is secret code for "Patrice," so from here on out, I'll be referring to Patrice. And since I happen to know she has a wee obsession with Starbucks, our  beverages will be served in lovely white and green cups. :)



Also, this party needs some chocolate in the form of an ooey-gooey bar. Go on, have a slice! They are calorie free after all.


Now that we're all snacked up, let's get to the good stuff.

I met Patrice a few years ago at my local writer's group, MVRWA. She's one of those super cool people who combines elegance and intelligence with a wicked sense of humor. She's the other half in my success team (success team has a better ring to it than accountability partners!). It came as no surprise to me when she called to tell me Crimson Romance wanted to publish her book. I had the pleasure to read Die Run Hide, and let me tell you, it rocks!!

Die Run Hide

Follow orders or die. Anika Washington knows the rules laid down by the counterterrorist agency that owns her. When she aborts a mission in order to spare a young girl, she’s given an ultimatum: take on a new mission that requires betraying her fellow operative, and lover, or forfeit her own life.

After discovering that her lover, Gianni, has chosen another, Anika accepts the mission. In the aftermath, she learns that Gianni was faithful to her and she’d been tricked into thinking otherwise. The knowledge comes too late and she’s almost killed in an agency double-cross.

Now she must run—battling time, former enemies and the agency itself to stay alive and save the man she loves.

Now that you know what the book is about, here is my review!

(I received an advanced reader copy of this book with no obligation to review it. All opinions are my own.)

Jill's review:

Buckle up! This fast-paced thriller had me on edge from the first sentence to the very end. I couldn't put it down! Indeed, I read it in one sitting--it's THAT good.

Set in the near future, Anika is a federal operative, but not by choice. She's trying to escape a life of no privacy, forced dangerous missions, and few choices. But her love of fellow operative, Gianni, threatens everything, and she makes a desperate decision that forces her on the run. Along the way, she learns the freedom she yearns for means nothing unless she's with her heart's desire.

I loved this book. Each action-packed, emotional chapter had me guessing, and I love guessing. Who can she trust? How will she react? Can she escape? Will she get what she longs for? And as the plot progressed to the end, I was left with a deep satisfaction and my own longing--for a sequel!
If you enjoy the Jason Bourne series or Mr. and Mrs. Smith, you'll love this book!
