Welcome to the first author spotlight! I've read so many new fantastic books that I'm getting a little lost in just which are my favourite books for each genre, so, I've decided to introduce the author spotlight. A post dedicated to sharing some of my new favourite authors with you and my favourite books from them.
I was briefly
introduced to Ms. Sivec's novels at the end of last year, picking up the first
in her Naughty Princess series, At The Stroke Of Midnight. I'll confess to
having never read a romance novel before that included the heroine stripping as
her job (not that it matters), it's just a uniquely distinct plot point and
feature.
I didn't return back
to her novels until I ran into her Hometown Series, reading (as one does), back
to front and read the last book first, the first book second, and the second
book third. So, a bit out of order, but, I fell in love with her writing style
and her characters, and will definitely be looking for more books from her.
One of the things
that I absolutely love about her writing is that each character is relatable,
and the books are honestly laugh out loud funny. I'm not talking a huh, a
chortle, a wheeze, I'm talking full
blown laughter. It's been awhile since I've had that from a romance novel, and
her books are just utterly enjoyable.
She does have quite
a large repertoire already built, and a new series (Summersweet Island) and
novel (Kiss My Putt), which sounds fantastic, coming out this month, with the
cover release and blurb just released today!
After spending my entire pro golfing career being
known as the quiet, controlled, no-nonsense golfer on the tour, there’s nothing
more humiliating than throwing all of that down the drain—or into a water
hazard—on national television. Needing some place to hide, to lick my wounds
and figure out what I even want to do with my life once this blows over, I can
only think of one place I need to be. Summersweet Island, where everyone treats
me like one of their own, and they’ll all be happy to have me home again.
Well, except maybe one person. It’s been two years
since I last set foot on Summersweet Island or spoke to anyone there. But I’m
sure Birdie Bennett, my best friend since I was 15 and the clubhouse manager of
my favorite golf course, has had plenty of time to forgive me for that tiny
little misunderstanding where I blocked her on social media and blocked her in
my phone. Oh, and I guess I kind of, sort of accused her of being a stalker.
It’s fine!
Once my sexy, spunky, former best friend gets over
the shock of seeing me again and stops trying to drive a 9-iron into my skull,
I can finally let her know I’ve also kind of, sort of always been in love with
her...
While I do enjoy a
great deal of her books, I will say that my favourite has to be Otterly Scorched. First of all, let's discuss that cover. It's GORGEOUS. And adding in otters AND puns? This one had to be a winner, and thankfully it was!
It’s been a lot of years and another lifetime since
Dax Trevino was a playboy detective for the Franklin Police Department. He’s
been through hell and back, and now he just wants to be left alone, so he can
cuddle his otters.
When two of his babies are kidnapped in the middle of
the night, and Claws and Effect Pet Detectives are called to the rescue, quiet,
broody Dax never expects to be tackled and handcuffed by the only woman he ever
regretted being a douchebag to all those years ago.
Harley Blake has spent her entire life taking care of
her accident-prone father with a fondness for dead animals, and her
forty-year-old brother who refuses to grow up. The last thing she needs is
another complication in her life, and Detective Douchebag is at the top of the
list.
Dax might not be a cop anymore, and he might have outgrown
his one-and-done player status, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to get burned a second time and fall for his
charms. The infuriating man already branded a mark on
her heart years ago, making sure she’d never forget him. Besides, she has a
case to solve for the guy, and this is just business.
But the sarcasm starts flying, there are a gaggle of
adorable otters who need to be cuddled, a Bandit Von Trash Panda who just wants
to play poker, pot brownies, and squirrels dressed for a wedding... at a
funeral. Things are heating up—and not just from the small tree fire after the
grenade went off—and this man is suddenly simplifying her life instead of
making it worse.
Harley knows she won’t escape this time without being Otterly Scorched.
