This year I am thankful for my health, my job, my family, my friends, and of course books and the author that write them.
But more of all I am thankful for humor.
Here is my favorite thing about Thanksgiving.
And now one does Thanksgiving better then Adam Sandler…
So, sit back and enjoy.
Books-n-Kisses is excited to have 1st time guest Rachel Carrington on the blog today
Rachel, can you please share with us a little about yourself.
Sure! I’m a full-time writer, and I live near the beach on theAtlanticCoast. I drink way too much coffee, work until the wee hours of the morning, love eighties television shows, and am addicted to Youtube, Pinterest, and Twitter.
Have you always wanted to be an author?
No. Originally, I wanted to be a teacher. Then, when I was sixteen, life spun me around, and I began writing. I haven’t stopped since.
What is your most interesting writing quirk?
I was just asked this question in another interview, and I’m going to have to give the same response. I don’t really have any quirks per se. I have written in some interesting places just to get make sure I’ve written that day, and I guess you could call my dogged determination to write in whatever circumstances a quirk.
Can you please tell us about your latest book(s)?
My latest release, Waking Up Immortal, is a science fiction/paranormal blend of romance. Chloe discovers she’s an immortal and, hoping to learn more about what she really is, she sets out to find the father she’s never met. Standing in her way is the warden of the intergalactic prison where her father is being held.
Half-man, half-machine, Kier knows Chloe’s father is as dangerous as he is devious, and he tries to prevent Chloe from getting anywhere near him. Unfortunately, evil has a way of winning sometimes, and Chloe is soon caught between the life she knows and the hell her father inflicts upon her.
How did you come with the idea for this story?
I just got the idea for the first line, and the rest of the story just flowed from there. I knew whoever the hero was in the story, he’d have to be a match for Chloe which is why I made Kier a cyborg of sorts.
Can you share with us your current work(s) in progress?
I’m working on the sequel to Waking Up Immortal at present, and I’m a little over a third of the way in. I’m hoping to finish it within the next month or so.
Who is the one author that you would love to meet someday and why?
I’d love to meet Stephanie Meyer simply because she achieved breakout success from a dream. Most of us dream about breakout success. I think we could have an interesting conversation.
What is the best piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?
I’ve been asked this question so much lately, and I try to come up with new pieces of advice, but I do have to return to one I mentioned a month or so ago elsewhere, and that’s find a mentor. I think every author needs someone who has been in the trenches, someone to guide them through the ups and downs of this industry.
A mentor can cheer you on after your tenth rejection and celebrate even the tiniest of victories. And sometimes, those small wins keep a writer going because it’s easy to focus on a contest you didn’t win rather than the fact that you were a finalist in the contest. Each positive step is a leap toward a career in writing.
Can you share with us something off your bucket list.
Visiting New Zealand. That has been at the top of my bucket list since I first watched Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. I got a glimpse of the beautiful scenery and then I started doing some research that made me want to see it up close and personal. Still do seventeen years later!
What is in your To Read Pile that you are dying to start or upcoming release you can’t wait for?
Book #6 in Sarra Cannon’s Peachville High series. Seriously, this series is addictive.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I have a monthly newsletter that I’d like to invite everyone to join. You can sign up by going to the front page of my website, www.dawnrachel.com, and using the subscribe button on the right hand side of the page. I have freebies, excerpts, and more stuff that I only offer to my subscribers.
Readers can also find me on my Facebook page at , on Goodreads at Rachel Carrington, on Pinterest at rcarrington2004, Twitter @rcarrington2004, my website and my Amazon page
Thanks so much for the great interview!
At first I didn’t want this “gift” which led me to a long search for my father. I thought he could help me. Turns out my father was in prison, and I just happened to get on the bad side of his warden—a huge, cyborg type of guy who could body double for Sylvester Stallone. He didn’t want me to see my father, and he was a pretty big obstacle for me to overcome.
So here I am trying to convince this guy, Kier, to let me see my father when all hell breaks loose. Then I suddenly learn I really don’t want to see dear old Dad after all. My life isn’t in danger, but how I spend the rest of my immortal existence is. The only thing standing between me and certain torture is Kier.
I don’t doubt he’ll protect me, but being so close to him makes me forget about things like safety. And the first time he kisses me turns into heat up the windows type of scene in the front seat of my car.
My immortal existence is safe with Kier. My heart is on shaky ground. Only I could fall in love with a cyborg while my life is going to hell in a handbasket
TITLE: Loving Lady Marcia
AUTHOR: Kieran Kramer
PUBLICATION DATE: 8/28/12
ORDER LINKS: Amazon
BOOK SYNOPSIS: MARCIA GETS SCHOOLED… Of the three Brady sisters, Lady Marcia has always seemed the girl most likely to lead a perfectly charmed life. But after a handsome cad breaks her heart, she swears off love and devotes her life to teaching girls at a private school. In spite of her family’s wish for a London debut, Marcia is happy where she is–until terrible news sends her back to the Brady clan…and into the arms of an unexpected suitor.
ON THE SUBJECT OF LOVE… A dark and dashing earl who knows Marcia’s past, Duncan Lattimore is surprised by what a fascinating and independent woman she’s become. Marcia, too, is surprised–by the fiery attraction she feels for Duncan. But why–why–must he be the brother of the scoundrel who broke her heart? Why must Marcia’s rival at school forbid her from seeing him? How can this lady possibly resist this fellow–when they know that it’s much more than a hunch…?
REVIEW:
This book was a real treat for me and I loved every minute of Lady Marcia’s story. Lady Marcia started this novel as a bright-eyed, sweet, innocent girl that had developed into an intelligent, yet reserved, young woman who wouldn’t let anyone near her heart, five short years later. She had resigned herself to be the headmistress of a prestigious school and wouldn’t participate in London’s notorious Season because she felt she wasn’t worthy enough to be married to any man. When she meets Lord Chadwick again in London, he becomes so smitten with her, even though he was initially unaware that his brother had broken Lady Marcia’s heart as a teenager.
Duncan Lattimore was the perfect romantic hero for me. He was loving, caring, responsible to everyone in his charge and he did everything in his power to remedy Finn’s indiscretions, even if it meant damaging his own reputation among society in the process. His own love for Lady Marcia was so strong that he was willing to help her with her job and he wanted to marry her regardless of the secrets that she was protecting from everyone else. He would have done anything in his power to win her heart and I wish there were more men like Duncan in the world because he was just a great guy to have in your life.
Finn Lattimore, Duncan’s younger brother, was the epitome of bad boy. Charming and good-looking, the perfect toxic boyfriend that would leave broken hearts behind him without a second thought to the consequences. There were times during this novel that I wanted to reach in and hit him for his actions but if it wasn’t for him, Duncan and Lady Marcia wouldn’t have had that special connection with one another.
This is my first Kieran Kramer novel and I’m happy to say that it won’t be my last. She has created a humorous, well-written, beautifully romantic tale about second chances after initial first impressions. I loved the Brady Bunch references throughout the novel that made this amazing story even more delightful. Loving Lady Marcia is a wonderfully romantic novel and I’m looking forward to more from the House of Brady in “The Earl is Mine.”

TITLE: Eva’s Last Dance
AUTHOR: Tracy Cooper-Posey
PUBLICATION DATE: 09/18/12
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Nearly one hundred years after their last dance together Eva’s long lost love, Edward, makes contact again. Eva—lonely and a vampire now—can’t resist falling into his arm and under his erotic spell. She’ll do anything he asks of her now.
Then the spell is rudely interrupted by human demon hunter Ryan Jefferson, who is on the trail of an incubus. He sets out to seduce Eva properly in a searing night of dance and passion.
This dance counts in more ways than one…
REVIEW:
This is a short story of vampire erotica. It is a very short with only about 40 reading pages but a very interesting story. The characters are well defined and even though we are only given a few pages to get to know them enough is written to give us insight into why they are together. The ending has a twist which was unexpected but enjoyable. If you enjoy the genre of vampires or erotica you will enjoy this book. It is a short enough that you can read it in an hour and enjoy yourself.

Books-n-Kisses is pleased to welcome C.H. Admirand to the blog today
Can you please share with us a little about yourself
CA: I’ve been married to the man I fell in love with at-first-sight for 33 years. I believe there is the perfect person out there just waiting for each one of us and totally believe in HEAs. I use family names in all of my books and love adding bits and pieces of my Irish ancestry to my characters and plots.
Have you always wanted to be an author?
CA: I wanted to be an archeologist, then a teacher, then an interior decorator—and then I met DJ and wanted to spend the rest of my life with him…no clue what I would do to earn a living so I decided to go to business school…at the time the theory was a secretary would always have a job. Obviously that goes along with the number of years I’ve been married. LOL! It was in 1995 that the writing bug bit me again after running out of romances to read (and re-read) my hubby suggested that I write my own…so I did! The feeling that this is something I was mean to do filled me right down to my soul…it’s definitely a gift to sit down to a blank page and start writing.
Are you a plotter or a panster? And you explain the difference?
CA: I usually start with an idea or a character and then start jotting down ideas longhand. When everything starts to click, I head to my office and start a new file and begin with the synopsis. The early synop will be more general, but as ideas gel and characters start talking to me, I flesh out the storyline and character arc with a 5 to 10 page synopsis. I have an author friend who is a pantser…she sits in front of her computer and starts writing—scary thought if you aren’t hard-wired that way.
What is your most interesting writing quirk?
CA: LOL…my family would say it’s that I have the ability to see chickens…I am easily distracted as ideas take hold, something passes by my peripheral vision, or my thoughts just dance off in another direction. This is really useful when writing, but it does take a bit to unravel the threads and weave them where they need to go.
Can you please tell us about your latest book(s)?
CA: My latest release for Sourcebooks is the first book in my second series for them—Small Town USA. The first book is A WEDDING IN APPLE GROVE … where love is always in the air and the proof is painted in John Deere Green on the town’s bright yellow water tower. The Mulcahy sisters have taken over the family business, now that their father has retired—family handyman business. They keep the town going, fixing what needs fixing and accepting whatever payment the good folk of Apple Grove have: Mrs. Winter pays with homemade cherry pie, Mr. Weatherbee the windchimes he creates. Meg Mulcahy wonders if she’ll ever see her name up on that water tower, especially since her on again-off again relationship with former high school football hero is transient at best…he plays for the Bengals and breezes into town a few times a year, picking up right where he left off…until Daniel Egan comes to town. He’s the new phys ed. teacher and high school soccer coach who will end up rescuing more than one person in Apple Grove…Meg included…but that would be telling. J
How did you come with the idea for this story?
CA: I have ideas that come to me in the middle of the night, others when I’m sitting with a clean sheet of paper and doodling. Whenever inspiration strikes, be it a character’s name or concept, I jot it down. I have paper idea files and computerized idea files. The paper ones are far easier to find…it’s that chicken-thing…can’t always remember what I saved the ideas under. <sigh>
Can you share with us your current work(s) in progress?
CA: I’ve just turned in ONE DAY IN APPLE GROVE, the second book in the series and am writing the third book WELCOME BACK TO APPLE GROVE. The second book is the middle sister, Caitlin’s story—she’s known Dr. Jack Gannon all of her life—but it isn’t until the night they both end up rescuing a little black puppy that hearts open to the possibility of love and their lives forever change. Welcome Back to Apple Grove is the youngest sister, Grace’s, story…She’s the only sister who can’t wait to get out of Apple Grove…but finds that dreams aren’t always what one envisions them to be. On a visit home she runs into former FDNY firefighter Patrick Garahan and finds herself tangled up in Apple Grove and sliding toward love.
Who is the one author that you would love to meet someday and why?
CA: I’ve always wanted to meet Judith McNaught and Jude Deveraux. Because I’ve been a member of RWA for years, I’ve already met some of my other favorites: Nora Roberts, Julie Garwood, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christina Skye, Linda Howard, etc. When our kids were babies, my neighbor suggested I try a few romance authors who were new to me: the three Js: Judith McNaught, Jude Deveraux, and Julie Garwood…I was hooked! I understand that Jude Deveraux will be attending the 2013 RT Convention in Kansas City, MO…I am so there!!!
What is the best piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to get into writing?
CA: NEVER GIVE UP. Keep writing, don’t let anyone talk you out of your dream. Find a writer’s group, I’d recommend RWA and your local RWA Chapter, and attend meetings, workshops, conferences and conventions and learn all that you can about the craft of writing and the industry. Once you’ve finished that first book send it out…if someone says no…keep going! I was rejected 99 times before I sold my first book. NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Can you share with us something off your bucket list?
CA: I actually wrote a list of things to do before I hit 30, I revised it for things to do before I hit 40 and have given up because I still haven’t done anything on that darned list and I’m halfway to 60! LOL! I wanted to go to that fab institution in NYC with the red door…Elizabeth Arden and get my hair cut and makeup done; I wanted to eat caviar and sip champagne; I wanted to attend the Opera…preferably seeing la Traviata. The closest I’ve come is writing a book entitled THE LIST, maybe I’ll revise it and see if I can publish it. I almost forgot…I have this need to visit Ireland, but really, really, really hate to fly…so it’s a good thing I haven’t been able to afford it yet. 🙂
What is in your To Read Pile that you are dying to start or upcoming release you can’t wait for?
CA: Because I’m on deadline my TBR pile is getting bigger. Here’s are the first 10 books off the pile: Fool for Love, by Beth Ciotta (fab friend and author!), Marrying Daisy Bellamy, by Susan Wiggs; Stygian’s Honor by Lora Leigh; A Lady Never Surrenders by Sabrina Jeffries; The Unspoken by Heather Graham; The Unholy by Heather Graham; Isabel the Invincible by Christine Bush, Full Disclosure by Dee Henderson; Love on Call by Shirley Hailstock, Omid’s Shadow by Hichkass Hamekass. I can’t wait to receive Nora’s last installment in the Boonesboro trilogy: The Perfect Hope; I have it on pre-order 🙂
What is one book everyone should read before they die?
CA: There are so many classics out there that should be read, and at the risk of not being PC, I’d suggest something inspirational—whatever religious inclinations you might have or not have—but something that would give you hope. I know what that choice would be for me, but it wouldn’t be the same for everyone.
What is your favorite time of year & why?
CA: I love early Spring as the Earth is just waking up and snowdrops are poking up out of the snow and early Fall when the Earth is going to sleep preparing for the long winter ahead.
Who is your Celebrity crush? And what would you do if you ever meet them?
CA: Sean Connery…probably start babbling. LOL!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
CA: Thank you for interviewing me, it’s been a pleasure 🙂
A WEDDING IN APPLE GROVE BY C.H. ADMIRAND
IN STORES NOVEMBER 2012
He’s not so sure about small town life.

Specializing in hard work and family loyalty, tomboy Meg Mulcahy has left behind any girlhood dreams of romance. Enter newcomer Daniel Eagan, looking to bury his own broken heart and make a new start. He’s surprised-and delighted-by the winsome girl with the mighty tool belt who shows up to fix his wiring.

TITLE: The Passage
AUTHOR: Justin Cornin
PUBLICATION DATE: 06/08/10

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
“It happened fast. Thirty-two minutes for one world to die, another to be born.”
First, the unthinkable: a security breach at a secret U.S. government facility unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment. Then, the unspeakable: a night of chaos and carnage gives way to sunrise on a nation, and ultimately a world, forever altered. All that remains for the stunned survivors is the long fight ahead and a future ruled by fear—of darkness, of death, of a fate far worse.
As civilization swiftly crumbles into a primal landscape of predators and prey, two people flee in search of sanctuary. FBI agent Brad Wolgast is a good man haunted by what he’s done in the line of duty. Six-year-old orphan Amy Harper Bellafonte is a refugee from the doomed scientific project that has triggered apocalypse. He is determined to protect her from the horror set loose by her captors. But for Amy, escaping the bloody fallout is only the beginning of a much longer odyssey—spanning miles and decades—towards the time and place where she must finish what should never have begun.
REVIEW:
HOLY SHITE!!!!!!
This book was intense. I do have to say I really love my HEA books… But this was a great book. Very well written. As I said before very intense. Depressing, Doom & Gloom the whole way through.
And WOWZA what a way to end a book…
If you have not read this book I would suggest putting it on your list to read. Yes it is a super long book 800 pages strong or if you do as I did and listen to on audio 36+ hours.
But it was worth every tear and heartbreak I suffered along the way. I am looking forward to book 2 The Twelve and very much looking forward to book 3 The City of Mirrors.

TITLE: Fifty Shades Freed
AUTHOR: EL James
PUBLICATION DATE: 09/24/12
ORDER LINKS: Amazon
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
When unworldly student Ana Steele first encountered the driven, damaged young entrepreneur Christian Grey, it sparked a sensual affair that changed both their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and ultimately repelled by Christian’s singular sexual tastes, Ana demanded a deeper commitment; determined to keep her, Christian agreed. Now, together, they have more-love, passion, intimacy, wealth, and a world of infinite possibilities. But Ana always knew that loving her Fifty Shades would not be easy and being together poses challenges neither of them ever anticipated. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own integrity, identity, or independence; Christian must somehow overcome his compulsion to control and lay to rest the horrors that blighted his past and haunt his present. Just when it seems that together their love can conquer any obstacle, tragedy, malice and fate combine to make Ana’s worst nightmares come true.
REVIEW:
This is the last in the Fifty Shades trilogy. I can wrap up all the books in three words… 1) Lover 2) Loving 3) Loved.
The first book was about finding a lover, becoming a lover and about lovers of the past. The second was about loving. Realizing that loving was something that the characters could do and the third (this book) is about realizing you are and have been loved. Christian learned to love in book two but is never really sure that he is lovable and could be loved. He doesn’t realized that he has loved in the past whether it be his previous subs, his family or even his biological mother.
Again I will say what I have about the other two books. While I can understand why it falls under erotica genre I do not believe it. Yes there are some intense sex scenes but this book/trilogy is about love and not sex. Actually it is about moving beyond sex. That being said I also understand why these books would either be loved or hated. I am not sure these books can be “only liked”. There are no shades of grey when it comes to these books (pun intended).
Christian is a haunting character who in this book lets go of some of the ghosts. He is obsessive and protective over Ana but the reader understands why. Ana really comes into her own in the book. She is strong and independent and willing to stand up for herself more in the book.
I loved this book as I did with the trilogy. There are so many misconceptions about these stories and it really is a shame. If you enjoy the romance genre this is such a wonderful set of books. I look forward to the time when I can pick up these books again and see what I might have missed with the first read.

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
As assistant director in an accounting firm, Heather Morris is at the top of her game. Her straight-laced colleagues wouldn’t believe the secrets she hides: her wild teenage past, work-of-art tattoo and nipple ring.
Her orderly life veers off course when she’s approached at a wine tasting by an arrogant pretty boy with a dirty mind and a hardcore dangerous profession. She finds herself tempted to step outside her respectable façade for some well-deserved excitement.
Captain Jon “Tin Tin” Carlisle knows women. Loves women. One glimpse of the nipple ring under Heather’s conservative blazer lights up all his instincts. He’s stumbled upon a rare treasure: an exotic beauty with a sexy laugh and a taste for dares.
After a red-hot hour of roulette, their simmering attraction bursts into an exploration of mutual passion that tests even Jon’s erotic limits. Soon he craves something he’s never desired before. More. But for Heather, more means trusting, and trusting leads to trouble.
Now Jon must decide if the best sex of his life is worth chancing his heart on a woman who shields hers so well.
Warning: Contains hot power play featuring a fighter pilot who comes from old money but knows all about bringing the dirty. Also: a nipple ring, sex on the hood of a hella sweet sportscar, and one teensy, tiny, wickedly naughty fluid exchange.
REVIEW:
I really enjoyed this book. It is part of a series, however I hadn’t read the book before this one. I didn’t feel like I was missing out and the author really did a good job of kind of filling us in on what had gone before. This was a sexy, hot book that had a good conflict and resolution. I really just wanted to kick the hero in the head so many times. The heroine too. They were both stubborn and stuck in their way. This book showed how sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind and trust someone once in awhile. It isn’t always an easy road and the rocky moments made for some good reading.
There were also many secondary characters that we were introduced to. It really added to the depth of the book and now I find myself wanting to go back and read the first one and the one that will come after this one. Ms. Dimon did a wonderful job of sucking me into her world and I will be happy to revisit it again in the future.

TITLE: Night Falls Like Silk
AUTHOR: Kathleen Eagle
PUBLICATION DATE: 08/28/12
ORDER LINKS: Amazon 
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A gripping sequel to the romantic suspense “The Night Remembers” from “USA Today” bestselling/Rita-Award-winning author Kathleen Eagle.
Thomas Little Warrior had grown up on the streets and barely escaped with his life and dignity intact. Now an adult, Thomas has beaten the odds and become a successful underground comic book artist. Tom meets beautiful Cassandra Westbrook at an auction and almost immediately they begin a love affair that rocks both their worlds. But when a series of valuable drawings is stolen, a new mystery begins to unravel Tom’s life. In the process of tracking down the drawings and the murky history behind them, Cassandra and Tom find out just how sinister Tom’s past can be. Danger lurks on each path, drawing them together and at the same time threatening to tear them apart.
REVIEW:
This is an interesting story but I was really confused for a lot of it. I was even more confused about the “elsewhere” sections (you have to read it to understand). The characters and the storyline keep your attention but something about it just didn’t work for me. I never felt the connection between Tom and Cassandra. This story was just so oddly written that it was hard to follow.
