leprechaun. Two nachtmares. And three geriatric defenders straight out of the
retirement village. These are my ducks, and they are not in a row. It wasn’t until I lost everything—my home, my marriage, even my career—that I
started to wonder if our “family curse” might be more than an unfortunate turn
of phrase. Now turning forty-five, the age at which every woman in my family dies, I need
answers not only for myself but for my two daughters. And I’ll see every
specialist in the country if that’s what it takes. But when a lifelong friend discovers a link between my strange family history
and an abandoned estate, I can't pass up the opportunity to learn what
happened before the death certificates started piling up. What I find may mean it’s too late to change my fate, but that doesn’t mean I
won’t die trying. If there’s a curse on our family, I’m coming for it with
everything I’ve got. Might as well make use of these raging hormones and decades of suppressed
emotions while I still can… The time for surviving is over. It’s time to start living. If sarcasm is your love language, this new humorous Paranormal Women's
Fiction series is for you! Perfect for fans of Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, and
Robyn Peterman. Get it now! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Curses Date completed: 03.03.2022 Description from the publisher: Trish Bennet's bestie is a medium. In fact, most of her
friends have psychic abilities, so she isn't the slightest bit afraid of
ghosts. When she gets the chance to run a bed and breakfast in a historic New
Orleans mansion, she expects to meet a spirit or two. What she doesn't expect is to be hit with a nasty curse or
for the remedy to be marrying the flirtatious younger man who's been asking her
out for years. He'll only break her heart if she says yes, but now she doesn't
have a choice. Eric Landry has had it bad for Trish from the moment they
met. At twenty-four, he's six years younger, and though the sizzle between them
is hotter than hellfire, she's made it clear his age is a problem. He'll do anything to prove his feelings for her are real,
including pretending to be the best husband she could ever have. Trish may think it's just a game, but when her life is on
the line and he's the only one who can save her, how can she say no? If you like haunting mystery and men who would move heaven
and earth for the women they love, you'll adore this steamy, friends-to-lovers,
fake marriage romance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOVE AND CURSES is the third book in the Crescent City Ghost Tours series.Though it will stand on its own, I highly
recommend reading the full series for better understanding and enjoyment. I loved Trish and Eric’s story.Trish is letting a little number get in the way
of believing Eric is serious about his flirtations with her.Luckily fate has a hand in bringing them
together (in the guise of his grandmother).With a few more paranormal twists that lead to their destined happily ever
after, I was cheering for Trish and Eric from beginning to end.BTW there is a big number between my hubbie
and me – he’s 14 years older than me and some think that’s too much; it’s not! This is a wonderful friends to lovers paranormal romance and
I’m looking forward to another trip to New Orleans with my favorite PNR author. Note:While I received

of a Rebel Rogue Date completed: 03.16.2022 Description from the publisher: The only thing darker than his reputation is his desire for
her… From homeless street thief to business owner, Charlotte Bailey has come a long
way. Which makes it all the more distressing when an old friend arrives, asking
her for the impossible. She never thought refusing him would put her life in
danger. And she certainly wasn’t prepared for a sinfully
attractive rake with a past darker than her own to step into the role of her
protector. But, here she is… Peregrine Morgan can’t abide a mystery—and the lovely Charlotte is indeed a mystery.
Initially, he thought she was involved with the dangerous criminal he’d been
hunting. But now, he’s not sure of anything. He has no idea
why he feels so compelled to rescue her. Even more perplexing is his desire to
keep her by his side (and in his bed) even after the threat
has passed… With danger lurking around every corner, will Charlotte be able to put her
faith in Peregrine—and in love—when it matters the most? Or will happily ever
after remain elusive for this reluctant heroine and her unlikely hero? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
