#BookRecommendation “She’d enjoyed the brief conversation.” #mustread #MFRWHooks #Romancelandia

Hi everyone –

Today’s hook continues with “Their Bond through Jade”
The story is set in the wonderful country of New Zealand.
Today’s snippet moves back into Tiffany’s POV
Enjoy ♥♥

 

This week’s Hook …

Tiffany walked down the floating wooden staircase, which reached up to her half-floor loft bedroom, and into the kitchen for a drink. Water gushed from the faucet as she filled the kettle and then switched it on.

Her mind returned to the conversation with Steve’s friend, Mat. She’d enjoyed the brief, although bizarre, conversation. His voice had been so happy and full of energy it had taken her mind off her problem within only a few minutes. Something she hadn’t been able to achieve with the bath she had taken later that morning. The whole hysteria from the previous year had crept up, leaving her anxious, tense, and with a headache. A nice cup of tea would hopefully do the trick. She thought of Mat’s laugh and her mouth curled in response. It was deep and hearty. One of those laughs that could be contagious to anyone who heard it. Just thinking about it brought a smile to her lips. Closing her eyes, she tried to remember whether Steve had ever mentioned Mat’s name, but as much as she tried, she wasn’t able to recall ever hearing about a friend from New Zealand.

Review

“This blood-pumping novel will keep the reader hooked until the very end.” InD’tale Magazine
“Do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this wonderful book and fall in love.” (5 star review)

Mat is a sexy, tattooed New Zealander with a strong sense of family and duty and Tiffany is a woman with a past that continues to haunt her. Can Mat help her overcome her demons and move on with the next phase of her life? Come for the romance and stay for the breathtaking scenery. (5 star review)

Blurb

Pikorua, the Maori name for the symbol, is a twist that is said to symbolise the strength of the bond between two people. Mat is certain there is something between Tiffany and him.

When Tiffany Cahill opens the door to the police, memories flood her mind of the previous year and a relationship gone bad. Frightened, she calls her friend, Steve, for help, but instead a stranger answers the phone. Little does Tiffany know how much this New Zealander is going to impact her life, especially after she is assaulted only a few hours later.

Mat Apanui, the owner of a helicopter tour company in New Zealand, can’t ignore the worry in Tiffany’s voice when he answers Steve’s phone. Before he knows it, he is spending most of his business trip to Melbourne with her. Desperate to keep her safe after an attack, he invites her to stay with him in Queenstown, NZ.

With her safety at risk, how will Tiffany overcome her reservations and trust the sexy stranger enough to fly across the Tasman Sea?

He chuckled. Yes, he was aware of it. “It’s not that bad. I will need you to fly me to Anchorage and I’ll hitch a flight from there.”

“Shit. Let me check the weather forecast, and I’ll get back to you.”

“Thank you, mate. I owe you.”

“Hey, and I’m sorry about your grandma.”

“Thanks, Dean. It’s important for me to be at the funeral. She was the one who took care of me after Mum left.”

A heavy silence hung between them for a long beat until his friend picked up the conversation again. “No problems, buddy. We’ll make it work.”

“Thanks. I really appreciate it.”

Former home run king Stone “Sledge” Hammer had been bored in the baseball off-season. Meeting Gianna has given him the chance to be a hero again, if she lets him in. While he’s showing her the true spirit of Christmas, can he get inside her defenses to show her the importance of home?

#BookRecommendation “Okay. Let’s talk figures.” #amreading #MFRWHooks #love

Hi everyone –

Today’s hook continues with “Their Bond through Jade”
The story is set in the wonderful country of New Zealand.
The snippet continues in Mat’s POV
Enjoy ♥♥

 

This week’s Hook …

“I can see why,” she replied with a smile. “Okay then.”

He gave a slow nod. “Okay. Let’s talk figures.”

Mat’s knowledge about figures was basic and something he’d learnt over the last few years since he’d started the business with Adam. They hadn’t been able to afford someone to look after their books, so they’d handled the task themselves. Yet, he knew what he wanted, and after two hours of discussing, arguing, and checking numbers, he’d finally come to an agreement with Karen on their first draft. It was now up to their lawyers to settle on the details.

Before he left, though, they spent another few minutes talking about New Zealand, travelling, and how he’d come to be a helicopter pilot. He liked Karen, and she promised she’d be one of the first to fly with him once he’d moved.

Mat walked back to his car, tired and worn out. Too much talking. When it came to the business side of things, his heart wasn’t as invested. He loved flying, loved being up in the air, the sensation of no ties, and gazing at the wonders Mother Nature had to offer.

Today’s Snippet

Switching on the light, he stood and headed into the living area where he threw wood on the fire. He might as well stay awake. After he’d dressed, he made himself a cup of tea and then booted up his laptop. He loaded pictures of Alinta Bay and his lips quirked into a smile as he reminisced about his childhood days. Slowly images of picnics with his grandmother and afternoons at the beach on his surfboard with friends returned, bringing a smile to his lips.

He checked the time. It was half past seven, and he reached for his phone. A few seconds later, his best friend answered the call.

“Buddy, what’s up?”

“Morning, Dean. I’ll need to head back to Australia for a week or two.” Noah had an idea of his friend’s thoughts and added, “My grandma died.”

“Fu… Sorry, buddy. You know it’ll take you close to a week to get there this time of the year.”

#BookTour “A Room For Murder” by Michele Pariza Wacek @michelepw @SDBookTours

 

Meet Charlie. Better known as “Aunt Charlie” from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series.
She’s back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin.


A Room For Murder

Charlie Kingsley Mysteries Book 5
by Michele Pariza Wacek
Genre: Cozy Mystery

A Room For Murder For is Book 4 in The Charlie Kingsley Cozy Novella series by USA Today bestselling author Michele PW (Pariza Wacek). Ideal for cozy mystery fans, especially readers who love clean, twisty and funny cozy mysteries that include tea, pets, baking, small towns and quirky side characters.

Charlie’s very first case!

Normally Darla, the ghost that haunts the Redemption Inn, behaves herself. Relatively speaking.

Nancy, the owner of the Redemption Inn, swears that Darla is harmless. At least, mostly harmless. Maybe she plays a few pranks on some unsuspecting guests, but it’s all in good fun.

Until one of the hotel guests is found dead at the bottom of the stairs, and Darla is the one who’s blamed.

With the threat of guests cancelling and her business on the line, Nancy turns to Charlie to help find the real culprit so Darla can rest in peace.

A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They’re clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn’t enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com.

Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.

When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she’s an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she’s not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)

This week’s Hook …

Karen nodded. “Terrible. Just terrible.” She paused and leaned back in her chair. “Yes, we’d like to go ahead with the contract. We assume by the time you’ll have set up the business in Queenstown, it will be out of the news.”

Mat’s stomach squeezed. How he hated this side of business. If this hadn’t meant a big opportunity for him and Adam, he’d have cancelled the whole meeting. Bugger the money. But he wanted to move back to Queenstown and the contract would give him the finances to set up an office in his hometown.

Karen reached for her cup of coffee. “Tell me about you and your partner.”

He leaned back into the chair and crossed his legs. It was his favourite subject. “Adam and I started our helicopter business five years ago in Fox Glacier. It was simple as we liked the idea of doing what we loved every day and meeting people from all over the world at the same time. Now we fly hundreds of tourists to the summit of the glacier or hunters and hikers to inaccessible huts on the top of the mountains.”

“And what about the idea to move to Queenstown.”

He cocked a brow. “We’re not moving. Staff in Fox Glacier is brilliant. We’re expanding at a nice rate. Now we’d like to expand to Queenstown. It’s my hometown. I’d love to show off where I grew up.”
