Character Spotlight ~ Kimberly Stuart’s Mia Rathbun

Today the spotlight shines on……………………..Mia Rathbun

Love books with humour and bite?! Be sure to check out Kimberly Stuart’s offerings. I have only read Stretch Marks but have it on good authority that her other books are just as fun and fabulous 🙂

Enjoy – over to you, Kimberly:~

Brief physical description

Medium height, cute and curvy build, shoulder-length curly (at times unruly) light brown hair. Nice smile, bright eyes, furrowed brow, particularly when pondering her carbon footprint and the influence of conservative talk radio.

Note: Mia experiences WILD weight fluctuations between the front and back covers. This part of …

Coming in 2010 from Gary E. Parker and Revell

I haven’t read any of Gary’s books but this one coming from Revell has caught my eye!

I must admit that his protag’s name, Rick Carson, is very similar to another playboy character ~ Rick Castle from the show, Castle – love it!

The Constantine Conspiracy by Gary E. Parker

Nationally known and sought-after playboy Rick Carson stumbles onto a murder–and finds himself the prime suspect. Innocent people don’t run, but Rick finds that his life depends on it. Closing in behind him is a park ranger who is more than she seems. And what starts as a simple crime …

Character Spotlight & Blog Tour ~ Athol Dickson’s Fray Alejandro & Lupe de la Garza

Athol Dickson is an award winning author and his latest novel, Lost Mission, is already garnering multiple accolades for it’s intriguing storyline and exceptional prose. I hope you enjoy this insight into two characters living centuries apart in this story. Over to you, Athol:~

Brief physical description

Probably the best way to answer this is to quote from LOST MISSION. There are two main protagonists in the novel. One is Alejandro, a Franciscan friar living in the 1700’s. Here’s what LOST MISSION says about him:

“The Franciscan stood five …

Fit to be Tied by Robin Lee Hatcher

Synopsis:~

It’s 1916, and Idaho rancher Cleo Arlington knows everything about horses but nothing about men. So when charged with transforming English aristocrat Sherwood Statham from playboy into cowboy, she’s totally disconcerted. So is Statham, who’s never encountered a woman succeeding in a “man’s world.” Their bumpy trot into romance is frustrating, exhilarating, and ultimately heartwarming.

My take:~

I admit though, even …
