Blurb:
Amy and
Brett have been friends since they were kids; and their friendship has
withstood the test of time. But can it withstand Brett's fiancée, Vanessa?
Brett
Hudson has often wondered what it would be like to be more than Amy's friend,
but when he's chosen as the newest professional dancer on Dancing with the
Stars, he meets Vanessa, one of the shows costume designers and it's a
whirlwind romance that ends in a wedding proposal. As the big day draws closer,
Brett begins to think that marrying Vanessa might be a bad idea. She wants him
to give up Amy. Completely. Will he give up his best friend for the woman he's
supposed to marry?
Amy King
is heartbroken to learn that Brett is marrying another woman. But, when Brett
is jilted at the altar, he begs Amy to go on his honeymoon with him. A week on
a tropical island with her best friend, the man she's fantasized about for years is a dream come true for Amy. But when
Brett suggests crossing the line from friends to lovers, Amy is reluctant. Will
she risk years of friendship for one night of passion?
Excerpt:
"It's because you go for the wrong type of guy," Brett
said matter-of-factly, pouring a third shot down his throat. "Those muscle
bound jocks are all bark and no bite. They look good on the outside, but
they're a mess on the inside."
Amy threw a piece of ice at him and
laughed. "And the goody two shoes, school teacher types you date are much
better?"
"Nope." He grinned.
"Which is why we're both still single."
She sighed. "Yeah, so much for
my dream of having kids."
"You're young. I'm sure you'll
find someone." He drank his last shot and chased it with his beer.
"I'm thirty, Brett. By the time
I find a man, date him, and get married, I'll be an old hag with no viable
eggs."
The thought of Amy finding a man to
marry and have kids with didn't sit well with him. He couldn't stomach the
thought of losing her. "I'll tell you what." He leaned across the
table and pointed at her. "Three years from now, if neither of us are
married, I'll marry you and give you as many babies as you want." Brett's words
were slurred. Yup. He was definitely drunk. He wouldn't have made that
proposition otherwise.
"Yeah right." Amy rolled
her eyes. "You and me? That would be like fucking my brother. Thanks, but
no thanks."
He flinched at her words. "You
think of me as your brother?" That bothered him a lot more than it should,
especially considering he'd never once thought of her as a sister.
She shrugged. "We're best
friends. How else would I think of you?" Amy glanced away, and then set
her gaze on him again. "Why? How do you think of me?"
Oh shit! He hadn't expected the
conversation to backfire on him like that. What was he supposed to tell her?
That he thought of her as a best friend that he wanted to fuck? No, he
definitely couldn't tell her that. "As a friend, I guess. I don't know.
It's not like I sit around and think about how I should think of you. You're
Amy."
"And you're drunk."
"Maybe a little." He
grinned. "So, do we have a deal or what?"

My Review:
Kara Leigh Miller never fails to impress. Another fantastic
and engrossing read.
I loved the characters from page one. Amy and Brett are the
ideal couple. It seems like everyone but Amy and Brett can see that. Kara Leigh
Miller has you experiencing a range of emotions as Amy and Brett experience the
ups and downs of true love. I couldn’t put this book down.
Another original story complete with more than its fair
share of hot sex. If you haven’t read ‘Jilted’, what are you waiting for?

Book Blurb:
Halo Ann Carlyle wishes for a
home, family, and a boat-load of pets. What she gets is a bruised hip, a lump
on the head, a broken ankle, and her new yellow Honda Civic is demolished.
Rich McFarland, a sexy
veterinarian, keeps showing up in the most unexpected places, promising
everything she's ever wanted.
Halo believes she only
has time to pursue her career as a pet detective and must ignore her growing
attraction to achieve her dreams.
Will Halo trust her
heart, and find a way to get both for Christmas?
Excerpt:
She'd
just placed another call through to Pemsky's office, which went straight to his
voicemail, when the office door opened. Halo smiled and looked up into dreamy,
gold-flecked green eyes, short sandy brown hair, a slight cleft chin, and full
lips set in a hard line. Even with the stern look he had on his face, her
hormones jumped into overdrive.
Mr.
Dreamy cleared his throat—she must've been staring. In her most professional
voice she said, "Good morning. How may I help you?"
He
removed a piece of paper from his shirt pocket and unfolded the sheet.
"I
was parked in front of the Beacon Hill Ale House and my driver's side mirror
was sideswiped by one of Pemsky's Security's SUV's Friday night."
Halo
loved the Beacon Hill Ale House. Every Saturday night the Ale House allowed
local bands to jam together. That's where she'd met her last loser boyfriend.
She'd had a lot of loser boyfriends. She's currently on a hiatus from dating,
but she wouldn't mind jumping back into the dating game for this dream-boat.
He
handed her the piece of paper.
"I
wasn't able to get a look at the driver, but I got the license plate number of
the vehicle that hit my car and drove away."
He
emphasized the last part.
"I'm
very sorry about your car. I'm sure Mr. Pemsky will be happy to cover the
damage." Halo checked the company log and Pemsky's name popped up as the
driver—she gulped.
Author Bio:
Sharon Kleve was born and
raised in Washington
and currently lives on the Olympic Peninsula with her husband.
Sharon is a writer of paranormal and contemporary romance.
She loves romance. She loves reading romance, living romance, and especially
loves writing about romance. She gets no greater feeling than watching her
characters come alive in each other's arms. Most of all, she loves giving her
characters the happily ever after they deserve—with a few bumps and bruises
along the way.
One of her favorite things to
do is picking up a new book and sinking into the story, immersing herself in
the emotions between the characters. She hopes to inspire her readers the same
way her favorite authors have inspired her.
When not writing, she can
usually be found either curled up in her recliner with her cat and a good book,
or in the kitchen baking sourdough bread or bagels.

My Review:
A short, fast paced story with an unsurprising plot that gets your heartbeat racing.
In fewer than fifty pages Sharon Kleve creates two main characters and a plot line which keeps you turning the page until the very end. I think most women (and men) can relate to Halo’s way of thinking.
A believable story with a happy ending. A great holiday read.
