One Town, Four Women learning to Live and Love Again.
The Ladies of Legend
One book, Four Authors.
One Town, Four Women learning to Live and Love Again.
Each of these stories takes one of the ladies from the town Legend Tennessee and tells their story of them finding new love, a new life and that place they can finally find home. I really enjoyed all of these stories. How small town people are willing to protect their own even when their own is the new kid in town. How a small town affects new people and how one new person can change a town. How when you realize you have nothing you return home only to find that your destiny follows you and stakes its claim on you. How a second chance at love in a small town could be as close as the boy you could never ever forget about.
If you are looking for four quick fun reads that will leave you wanting to know more about the characters and the little town that they live in this is the book for you. Below you will find a blurb of each Novella along with a link for chapter one. ENJOY!!!!
Each of the Novellas can be purchases separately or in a print novel titled Finding Home.

A Ladies of Legend Novella
For Lilly Peach staying alive means keeping a low profile, blending in, not being noticed. When she fears having been found by those contracted to kill her, Lilly is sent to a new “safe house” in Legend, Tennessee.
The pristine old fashioned streets and genteel southern hospitality of the town’s folks eventually lull Lilly into believing, maybe, just maybe, she can settle in and make a safe and quiet life for herself. But when Legend’s nationally famous high school football coach decides to make her his lady, Lilly is thrown into the spotlight as well, giving those seeking to find and destroy her, another chance to fulfill their contract.

Midnight in Legend, TNby Magdalena Scott
A Ladies of Legend Novella
A Ladies of Legend Novella
Midnight Shelby is starting over. She’s leaving her ex-husband and the big city, big corporate life behind her. But she doesn’t know where she’s going until she happens upon an amazing website advertising real estate in Legend, Tennessee, a place she didn’t know existed. The virtual tour of a large two-story big brick building—a former bar—on the main street of the small town makes her fall in love. With the building, and with the potential for a new life.
She has no idea she’ll also fall in love with the realtor who sells her the property.
Martin McClain was born and raised in the Legend area. His family has lived there for generations, and he feels a duty to preserve it. Part of the reason is his thirteen-year-old son Daniel. The web site Daniel created has been good for business, but although Martin is a real estate agent by trade, he’s wary of newcomers’ motivations. With good reasons—one of them is Daniel’s absent mother.
For love of Legend, and with an eye toward Daniel’s future, Midnight and Martin begin to work together, and learn that in spite of their different starting points, their destination is the same: Home.

Bed, Breakfast and You
by Maddie James
by Maddie James
A Ladies of Legend Novella
Suzie Schul has it all. A booming business, a wonderful town to live in and, well, food. Yeah, she loves to cook and she’s the best darned cook in Legend, Tennessee. Everybody says so. She runs her own B&B, has published a cookbook, conducts cooking classes on Saturdays, and caters for special events and holidays.
What more could she want, really?
Nothing that she will admit, anyway. And let’s not even think about that brief escape to Gatlinburg several months back when she had separated from her then-husband, Cliff. Or the fact that the man ran off with her little sister while they were, um, estranged. And let’s definitely not bring to light that she’d never really revealed to anyone in the small town of Legend what exactly had happened between her and Cliff.
Or the fact that while she was off “finding herself” and “losing her husband” at the same time, she sort of, well, had a fling. But never mind about that, because “the fling” is long gone and likely doesn’t even know where to find her. Besides, he was trouble.
And just when Suzie thinks all is well, TROUBLE rides up to her B&B doorstep on a bad-ass Harley and tosses her perfect little world into some kind of big, bad tumble.

The Saga of my Hunter’s Fall ARC
Hunter left Shiloh Walker a safe and happy book to go out on a book blog tour. On Hunter’s first stop he meets Donna, then Donna sent him on to me…
So Hunter’s Fall arrived at my door safe and sound. I took him home and put him in my office, sitting on the bar stool. But I left for work the next day, went to my daughter’s LaCrosse game. Came home to find that the Husband left the dogs alone in the house… I guess that he decided he wanted to get to know Hunter’s Fall a little better.
Good thing that the book is still readable and that I was the last stop on this leg of the tour. Can you imagine the poor person who would have gotten this book after me….
My review for Hunter’s Fall will be up the last week of May…. Hope you come back and read more!!!!

| Release date April 5th. |
Raised by the Breed, Nicholas Roman wants to stop the Eternal Order of Vampires from controlling his life, and using other males from his bloodline-including possibly his son-for their vicious reign. Only a beautiful vampire stranger can help him. But what are her true motives?
Read an excerpt from Eternal Kiss HERE
Want to watch Nicky’s Trailer…..Check it out HERE
My Thoughts:
Anyone who knows me knows that I am totally and completely in love with Nicholas Roman. He is by far one of my most favorite characters of ALL, YES ALL of the books I have read.
In Nicky book we pick up where we left off in Eternal Hunger with Nicky willing to do anything for his brothers. Family is the most important thing to him. But Nicky is hiding something even from the ones he loves the most, a secret that could destroy the love that his brothers have for him.
Nicky’s world is turned upside down when he has a chance meeting with who he thinks in an informant. It turns out to be a very beautiful veana (female) who has an even bigger secret for Nicholas, one that will change all of them.
This book is full of so many ups and downs twists and turns. I had to have a box of Kleenex to me the whole time.
I was so fortunate to have received this book early. I love you Laura… You have me as a fan for life. I am looking forward to the wild ride I know you are going to take us on in the next book.

ARC Forever Vampire by Michele Hauf
 |
| Release day April 19 2011 |
Vail the Unwanted is a pureblood vampire. But raised in Faery, he has neither home nor peace, and when his aid is sought in the recovery of a priceless diamond gown, his price is information. Specifically the whereabouts of his accursed father. His goal is revenge, and the supernaturally sexy Lyric, the icy blond vampiress with whom he must work, is a distraction he can’t afford.
Outwardly as cold as the diamond dress in which she was kidnapped, Lyric has her own secrets. Desperate to break free from her criminal family, she aligns herself with the brooding Vail. Together they seek justice while each secretly works for freedom and a fresh start. For Lyric that means holding herself apart, even from the smoldering blue-eyed Vail. For Vail, it means a battle to the death for revenge—and for a temptress he can’t deny.
My Summary:
Vail was taken as a baby, as part of a boon (a payment) that had to be paid for a debt from the past, to live in Faery. Once it is discovered that Vail is a full blooded Vampire, he is taught to hate everything about the outside world and vampires. After a doing a favor for a friend Vail finds himself banished from Faery, the only home he has ever known, to the mortal world. Not knowing whom to turn to Vail finds himself seeking out his family, the same family that gave him up as a baby. Rhys gives Vail a fresh start, a house, a car, the tools he needs for revenge and now a job. A simple job… find a Vampiress and a dress.
Lyric is so tired of living under her mother’s roof. She dreams of running away to join the circus or finding a deserted island somewhere. Lyric just wants to start a new life. So when Lyric’s mother asked her to deliver a dress, she’s not so willing to do it, but agrees anyways, it is too hard to say no to her mother. Knowing she will be able to get away at least for a little while will be nice. That is until she finds out what the dress is and who she has to deliver it to. That is when Lyric panics. But panic is short lived when one of the windows in her bedroom breaks and she takes a fist to the side of the head….then she blacks out.
Vail’s job is to find the Vampiress and the dress. Turn the Vampiress over to her mother, return the dress to Rhys. Get the information that he needs about his real father and then kill him. But everything changes when Vail actually catches Lyric. There is something about the Vampiress that draws him in. Vail doesn’t understand, because he has always been taught that Vampires in the mortal world are dirty creatures. Lyric is the opposite of everything that he was ever taught.
Please met Vail

| Michele’s Vision of Vaillant and I think it is PERFECT!!! Right down to Green Snake (who you meet in the book) |
 |
| This is how I picture Vail and Lyric Check out the book trailer for Forever Vampire HERE
|
My Thoughts:
I have been looking forward to reading this book since I finished Seducing the Vampire. In Seducing the Vampire we are introduced to Vaillant at the very end of the book. I won’t tell you too much about Seducing the Vampire, but you can read my review HERE.
I was fortunate to be able to read this book before the release day on April 19th. I enjoyed this book so very, very much.
The chemistry between Vail and Lyric is hot. They play off each other so well. Vail is stubborn to a fault. Vail is such a sweet guy, sexy as hell and is just trying to find his place in a world he knows nothing about. Lyric is a girl who knows what she wants and now she wants 100% of Vaillant. And once Vail gets over his fear of the unknown he learns what and who is important to him.
I am hoping that Michele will bring Vail and Lyric back in a future book. I want to know how these two are doing. But after talking to Michele she has no plans for them right now. *Crossing my fingers*
GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!
I have decided that I love Vail so much I want to give away his book. Well Michele did one better!! Michele is willing to give away a set of books. These books: Her Vampire Husband, Seducing the Vampire and Forever Vampire.

So I will make this really, really simple for you. All you have to do is leave a comment and why you want this book and your email address.
Contest Ends April 13th.
Winner will be announced on April 14th.

Improper Nights by Leslie Dicken
When Lenora Blakely learns she must marry a man more than twice her age to pay off her father’s debts, she doesn’t expect his nephew to make her weak at the knees with a brief stroke of his tongue to her palm. Soon, Lord Blackford’s flirtations provide her with a means to experience the pleasure of a lover’s touch before she marries. But what begins as a tempting challenge quickly leads to a series of improper nights filled with overwhelming passion. As the time for her wedding draws near, will Lenora be able to follow through on her promised duty? My Thoughts:
Lenora is a woman who has always valued her freedom. But now she is paying for her father’s mistakes. If she cannot find a way to payback her father’s debt she will be forced to marry. Lenora is given 14 days to get her affairs in order. After 14 days she must marry and fulfill the contract that her father signed.
Lord Blackford has shown up just in time to see his uncle married off and then he can claim what is rightfully his. But all that changes when he meets Lenora and is drawn to her, but knowing that she is to marry his uncle is unsettling.
Lenora and Blackford chemistry is undeniable and with only 14 days until she loses her freedom she plans to take full advantage of them. Blackford tries to do everything he can to avoid Lenora, but every time he turns around she is there.
Even though this story was short it was filled with so many emotions and yes I cried. The way that Leslie develops this story is wonderful. Two people, who are drawn together, but know that there is no chance for a future together. I loved the twists and turns that Leslie put me through with this story.
I would have loved to have this story long just so I could find out more about Lenora and Blackford‘s relationship, how they are doing, what the future holds. Are they happy? Maybe Leslie will bring them back in another story.
I have to say a special thank you to Leslie for letting me read this story before you published it. I hope that in some small tiny way I helped you. I was so excited to learn that she gave me an acknowledgement in her book… I know what you’re thinking. I was thinking the same thing. Me? Little’ol me? But at least it was me. Thank you, Leslie. I hope that my little blog can help spread the word about you and your books
