The Viewpoint
Put a bunch of readers in the same room and you're likely to hear all about what they've read recently or what's next in their tote bag or to-be-read pile. That's the thing about readers. We're all eager to talk about books and we'll drag the topic into a conversation with anyone, anytime, anywhere.
Nothing gives us more pleasure than discussing why a novel worked for us or why it didn't. We love to give our opinion on books, both new and old, that touch our hearts, inspire us or even those that leave us unsatisfied.
I hope you enjoy browsing and perhaps you'll find something that keeps you coming back for more.

POWER IN THEIR PASSION
Marisa Rourke is a beautiful, fearless telepath who tames dragonshapers on Earth. Rion is a tall, dark, and sexy space explorer whose home planet is a galaxy away. The attraction between them is undeniable, but Rion is hiding a desperate secret that will change Marisa's life forever.
DANGER IN THEIR TOUCH
Marisa's gift is the only way Rion can communicate with his people, enslaved by a powerful enemy. He knows that kidnapping her is wrong, but saving his planet is worth sparking the fiery clairvoyant's fury. Yet hotter-and more explosive-is the psychic bond growing between Marisa and Rion. Could their passion be the key to freeing Rion's people? Only if he and Marisa can discover how to channel their desire ... before a vicious enemy destroys them all.
I'm giving away a copy of RION! All you've got to do is send me an email with your full mailing address. Winner will be notified by email!
