EXCERPT

Before us, nearly filling up the room and taller than either of us, stands the golden shrine of Tutankhamun. I remembered what else lay in that room. Inside that shrine are three more, each a bit smaller than the outside one. All tucked inside each other like those nesting dolls from my grandmother’s childhood. Inside the last shrine were the four sarcophagi of Tut, each displaying him in golden and jeweled splendor.

The last one holds the famed mask of the golden boy. And beneath that, the body of the young pharaoh who now stands here before me. Beyond my understanding, he has been given back his human form, allowed to return one last time to restore honor to his family, one last time to find his true love. And here I am, trying to help, trying to understand, trying to stay alive. Will I ever be able to go home again? Or will I become as lost as Hesena?

She thought her life was perfect. She had an adoring husband who was powerful, wealthy and attractive, but Audrey’s fairytale world came crumbling down when she discovered her marriage was a lie. Her husband had been cheating on her with the last person she ever would have dreamed would stab her in the heart. Life became a nightmare of self-doubt, self-recriminations and the only part of life still under her control was her eating and drinking, or so Audrey thought. The once beautiful young woman became an overweight caricature of who she once was. Was this her way of believing she had control over one aspect of her life or a way to punish herself for what she perceived as failure? Starting over isn’t easy, but sometimes it just takes the right person at the right time and when Audrey met Diana, a bond was formed for life.

Diana was on the run, starting over from an abusive relationship where she, too had become a true believer in the church of the refrigerator. The solace she found made her an object of stares and cruel comments, but the day Audrey walked into her life, she found a true friend. Perhaps now they could get their lives on track, their weight under control and forge a new life as each other’s support. Too bad Audrey’s worst nightmare from her past has tracked her down, and in a twist of fate, takes out his anger on Diana, because all fat people look alike, right?

Determined to make him pay for his sins, both past and present a plan is made to “pay forward” his abuse and ugliness, but can they follow through with their plan or will the goodness in their hearts and their faith in their God pull them back from the brink of Hell’s damnation? Roy deserves an eye for an eye, but maybe he has already been served justice in a twisted way.

Sins of Summer by Linda Heavner Gerald is an emotional tale of two women made to feel less than human who continued on a self-destructive path even as they fought to remake themselves. From the realistic cruelties of strangers to the inner brow-beating these two endure, Linda Heavner Gerald has uncovered many of the sins of the world we live in. As Audrey and Diana learn to reach out and begin to feel their own self-worth, it is wonderful to see the encouragement they share with each other. The biggest test they face may be the defining moment in their lives that will make or break both their friendship and their self-esteem. With hints of faith and spirituality, these two could be any one of millions who have faced their pain, but in the end, it is the difference between being a callous and uncaring person, versus doing on to others that will define their lives. A lesson for us all?

A romantic cabin in the mountains. And a man who knows how to get lost…

With a brand-new M.D. behind her name and a wonderful man by her side, Nichole Atherton thought she had her happily-ever-after all sorted out. Then her fiancé told her he was gay. Nic can fake a smile better than anyone, but she’s hanging by a thread. She just has to make it through her best friend’s wedding…and an encounter with his nightmare little brother, Tucker Matthews.

Weddings make Tucker antsy—he’s got a bad track record with “forever.” The family screw-up became a screw-up famous rock star, and bottomed out fast. Now he’s putting his life back together, and the last person he wants to see is perfect Nichole. No matter how hot the fantasies he had about her growing up, Nichole is out of his league and he knows it. It’s just too bad they have so much chemistry. Because there’s no way the two of them could ever make it last…

Nick of Time by Allison B. Hanson

Realistic and heartfelt, Nick of Time draws you deep into the lives of everyday people with real life problems.

Nichole has been burned by love. The man she wanted to spend her life with wants another man, leaving her at the altar. Heart hurting, Nichole’s carefully constructed facade around her heart is crumbling. She just has to hold it together for her best friends wedding.

Trouble maker and rocker, Tucker, is trying to get his life and career back on track after his band split apart. The last thing he wants to do is face the perfection known as Nichole. Luck is not with Tucker because he is the best man for his brother wedding and Nichole just happens to be the maid of honor for her best friend…bringing them up close and personal.

The chemistry is explosive. Starting as anger and distrust, Hanson creatively transforms it into more.

I found this story magnetic. Hanson masterfully balances humor, heart and realism providing a story that sucks you right in.

Nick of Time was a brilliant contemporary romance that I flat out loved.

Are you prepared for the sexcapades of graphic proportions? All consensual, all graphic and with an emphasis on love, enjoying sexuality and pushing the boundaries of comfort, in essence, freeing one’s inner self to do what feels right. I have to say, author Jeno Marz knows how to push the envelope of comfort as she brings more tales of Falaha to life in almost 3D graphics.

Falaha’s Journey Into Pleasure takes place several years after the war, and Falaha is now grown and ready to experience more of what life has to offer than violence and fighting. Falaha finds love, acceptance and a sense of family as she finds a deep and true relationship with Eyuran as a couple, but their family is not finished growing. As unusual as it would seem to us mere humans, Falaha has found a second husband who is willing to share her with his father.
One more man will play into their family, a highly damaged, once imprisoned man who has built a mental prison within his own mind that he needs to be freed from. If one looks beyond the obvious, which would be the sexual encounters, one can see a theme, of acceptance and of learning to accept others.

Jeno Marz does take a unique approach to the universal need to be part of a unit, so if you are at all shy about in-your-face sex, with more than two people, this may be many red face moments. Get through that and one will find humorous moments, beak through moments and the building of a family unit based on sharing and caring, although sometimes a little more story could do the same thing!
