A fake relationship with a sexy cowboy in a small town is never a good idea…

-Alana-

After high school, my plan was to leave the small town of Mason Creek and never look back. I thought I’d work my way through college while my long-time, bull rider boyfriend chased his rodeo dreams and took me along for the ride.

My own dreams of becoming his publicist and living the high life together on the ABR circuit were crushed when it became clear that my eight seconds was up. The buckle bunnies were suddenly more appealing than the girl with her nose buried in the books.

I’ve sworn off men, especially cowboys and bull riders.

That is, until I walk in on one in my shower, naked, wet, and built like he could break my heart… and my bed.

-Holden-

The rodeo has been my whole world, and all it took was one false accusation to bring it crumbling down. I cleared my name, but the organization I’ve given my life and my body to for the past seven years doesn’t give a damn. They don’t want the drama and right now they don’t want me.

That’s how I ended up in Mason Creek, hiding from the cameras while the dust settles and I can reclaim my reputation and my rank in the ABR. The last thing I need is to get messed up with a local girl, especially one who hates cowboys–bull riders in particular.

Our relationship may be just for show, but I see the opportunity for what it is…The chance to keep my secret a little longer and prove to Alana that maybe her problem with bull riders is simple…

She hasn’t ridden the right one yet.

i bought this book and here is my honest review

oh lord it feels good to be back in Mason Creek!!! Alana lived there her whole life but went away for college and fell in love with a cowboy in the ABR circuit but when he broke her heart because buckle bunnies were more tempting than staying faithful, Alana focused all her time on work and school. she worked at the local grocery store and was hoping for one day to own it, she did everything else why not own it. but when her boss let her know that a ABR cowboy was going to live across the hallway she wasn’t having it but she didn’t have a choice. Will she be able to resist his charm or will this be the wildest 8 second ride of her life.

#review #truecrime #audiobook Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony by Jeff Ashton and Lisa Pulitzer, narrated by Jeff Ashton

Leave a comment

Filled with explosive new information, this is the definitive inside story of the case that captivated the nation and the verdict that no one saw coming

It was the trial that stunned America, the verdict that shocked us all. On July 5, 2011, nearly three years after her initial arrest, Casey Anthony walked away, virtually scot-free, from one of the most sensational murder trials of all time. She’d been accused of killing her daughter, Caylee, but the trial only left behind more questions: Was she actually innocent? What really happened to Caylee? Was this what justice really looked like?

In Imperfect Justice, prosecutor Jeff Ashton, one of the principal players in the case’s drama, sheds light on those questions and much more, telling the behind-the-scenes story of the investigation, the trial, and the now-infamous verdict. Providing an inside account of the case, Ashton, a career prosecutor for the state of Florida, goes where the press and pundits have only speculated, detailing what really happened during the investigation, showing how the prosecution built their case, and explaining how a woman so shrouded in suspicion was proclaimed innocent.

Moving beyond the simple explanations, Ashton offers an in-depth look at the complex figure of Casey Anthony, a woman whose lies he spent three years trying to understand. And yet this focus on Casey came with its own risks; here he details how this widespread fixation on Casey—both in the media and in the trial—may have undermined the case itself. As everyone got caught up in the quest to understand the supposed villain, somehow the victim, Caylee, was all but forgotten—not just to the public, but more important, to the jury.

Complete with never-before-revealed information about the case and the accused, Ashton examines what the prosecution got right, what they got wrong, and why he remains completely convinced of Casey Anthony’s guilt.

i bought this audiobook and here is my honest review

from the man who was on the case. getting an inside look at the behind the scenes of the Casey Anthony trial. follow Jeff Ashton as he gets picked to be on the case for the prosecution team and trying to get justice for Caylee Marie. all the lies, stories and poor me, no matter how many times you listen or watch this case the lies are still shocking, and the not guilty verdict is still one that the world will never understand. Caylee Marie never got to grow up and have a childhood because of the horrible things that happened to her.

Jeff Ashton recently retired from a thirty-year career as a prosecutor in Orlando, Florida. He is the most experienced homicide prosecutor in the history of Orange County and a veteran of more than seventy successful homicide prosecutions. He lives in Florida.

Lisa Pulitzer is a former correspondent for the New York Times andcoauthor of more than a dozen nonfiction titles, including the New York Times bestsellers Stolen Innocence, Imperfect Justice, and Mob Daughter.

Leave a comment

Secrets won’t stay silent for ever.

2020. A recently widowed architect moves into the home she and her late husband designed, heartbroken that he will never cross the threshold. But when disturbing things begin to happen, it’s clear that someone is sending her a warning. Who is trying to frighten her away, and why? It is only when she meets an elderly neighbour that she learns the street has a shocking and tragic past. A past that some will go to any lengths to keep hidden.

1964. A young white female student becomes involved in the fight for civil rights in North Carolina, falling in love with one of her fellow activists, in a time and place where an interracial relationship must be hidden from family, friends and especially the reemerging Ku Klux Klan. As tensions rise in the town, she realises not everyone is who they appear to be.

Decades later, past and present are set to collide in the last house on the street…

2 women, 2 different eras, 1 story on the same street. Kayla is getting ready to move into her new house with her daughter, even though her and her husband built this home together she’s is still going to move in even after his untimely death. Ellie was just a college student trying to make things right, with having African Americans get the same rights and treated the same way as white. but when their worlds collide and they are both on the same street, they have some things in common, but will they help each other try to figure out the secrets of the town and the road they live on or will it also take them too.

Diane Chamberlain is the New York Times, USA Today and (London) Sunday Times best-selling author of 28 novels. The daughter of a school principal who supplied her with a new book almost daily, Diane quickly learned the emotional power of story. Although she wrote many small “books” as a child, she didn’t seriously turn to writing fiction until her early thirties when she was waiting for a delayed doctor’s appointment with nothing more than a pad, a pen, and an idea. She was instantly hooked.

Diane was born and raised in Plainfield, New Jersey and lived for many years in both San Diego and northern Virginia. She received her master’s degree in clinical social work from San Diego State University. Prior to her writing career, she was a hospital social worker in both San Diego and Washington, D.C, and a psychotherapist in private practice in Alexandria, Virginia, working primarily with adolescents.

More than two decades ago, Diane was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, which changed the way she works: She wrote two novels using voice recognition software before new medication allowed her to get back to typing. She feels fortunate that her arthritis is not more severe and that she’s able to enjoy everyday activities as well as keep up with a busy travel schedule.

Diane lives in North Carolina with her significant other, photographer John Pagliuca, and their odd but lovable Shetland Sheepdog, Cole

Leave a comment

She stopped in for cake and accidentally flambéd his life

Erik was always happy to watch customers taste his high-end wedding cakes from the safety of the kitchen.

But that was before the maid of honor sampling his chocolate hazelnut ganache picked a fight with the bakery owner and the situation… escalated.

Now Erik has bigger problems than losing his dream gig, and they’re all wrapped up in the chatty PR whiz who wants to apologize for the mess she made by turning him into Chicago’s hottest baker.

Josie’s the type of woman Erik’s always avoided: breezy, confident, and so frustratingly gorgeous that someday he’s going to slip and bury his fingers in her fiery red hair.

That’s the day he’ll show her just how well his salty and her sweet combine.

That’s the day it’ll all go up in flames.

i bought this book and here is my honest review

Josie went to help her best friend with his cake tasting for his upcoming wedding and since his husband to be out of town she offered to help, but when the bakery turns them away because it’s the same sex getting married and she doesn’t approve of that lifestyle, Josie and Richard storm out of the bakery. Following them was the head baker who finally took his earbuds out to listen to what was happening, so he quit on the spot and took his recipes with him and offered to make Richard’s wedding cake for him. lots of craziness happens and next thing Josie knows she’s making a marketing and graphics for Erik’s new bakery business, will they be able to get this new business up and running, and only bake cakes or will they end up baking the sweetest recipe of all between the two of them. frosting, flour, sugar and all other ingredients are flying when it comes to these two.
Sara Whitney writes spicy rom-coms so addictive, you’ll finish them in one sitting and immediately stalk her for the next book. Her sassy heroines and alpha-sweet heroes who’ll make you laugh out loud on one page and absolutely wreck you on the next.

A recovering journalist and film critic who went rogue and got a Ph.D., Sara splits her time between professing, writing swoony smut, and badgering her friends to watch her latest TV obsessions. She lives in Illinois in a house with hot pink hallways and three sweet but sociopathic cats who’d like you to know they’re on the brink of starvation (despite their ample proportions as evidence to the contrary). Through it all, she survives on Swedish Fish, overly sweet coffee, Yankees baseball, and the unwavering belief that red lipstick can fix almost anything.

The challenge: spend a week hiding in an abandoned amusement park and don’t get caught.

The prize: enough money to change everything.

Even though everyone is desperate to win–to seize their dream futures or escape their haunting pasts–Mack feels sure that she can beat her competitors. All she has to do is hide, and she’s an expert at that.

It’s the reason she’s alive, and her family isn’t.

But as the people around her begin disappearing one by one, Mack realizes this competition is more sinister than even she imagined, and that together might be the only way to survive.

Fourteen competitors. Seven days. Everywhere to hide, but nowhere to run.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Viral sensation and Emmy Award-winner Leslie Jordan regales fans with entertaining stories about the odd, funny, and unforgettable events in his life in this unmissable essay collection that echoes his droll, irreverent voice.

When actor Leslie Jordan learned he had “gone viral,” he had no idea what that meant or how much his life was about to change. On Instagram, his uproarious videos have entertained millions and have made him a global celebrity. Now, he brings his bon vivance to the page with this collection of intimate and sassy essays.

Bursting with color and life, dripping with his puckish Southern charm, How Y’all Doing? is Leslie doing what Leslie does best: telling stories that make us laugh and lift our spirits even in the darkest days. Whether he’s writing about his brush with a group of ruffians in a West Hollywood Starbucks, or an unexpected phone call from legendary Hollywood start Debbie Reynolds, Leslie infuses each story with his fresh and saucy humor and pure heart.

How Y’all Doing? is an authentic, warm, and joyful portrait of an American Sweetheart— a Southern Baptist celebutante, first-rate raconteur, and keen observer of the odd side of life whose quirky wit rivals the likes of Amy Sedaris, Jenny Lawson, David Rakoff, and Sarah Vowell.

i bought this audiobook here is my honest review

Follow the wonderful, hilarious, smart, and sassy Leslie Jordan as he tells his life story in his voice. I’ve never laughed so hard, and I could listen to him talk all day. his version of somethings you never noticed on tv, from his wonderful performances in his lifetime is just a joy to listen to. especially how somehow, he became a social media superstar. The comedy world and tv world truly isn’t the same since Mr. Jordan passed suddenly. Well Shit, How Y’all Doin’ and all his other lines that made him who he is will live forever in history.

In 1982, Leslie Jordan stepped off a Greyhound bus from the hills of Tennessee, said “hello” to Hollywood and has never looked back. With hundreds of television shows, films and commercials to his credit, he has become a familiar face on the entertainment scene.

Leslie is the 2006 Emmy Award Winner for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his delicious portrayal of “Beverley Leslie” on “Will and Grace.” Television audiences will also remember him for his recurring roles on “Privileged,” “Ugly Betty,” “Boston Legal,” and “Reba.”

Feature film audiences will recognize Leslie from his performance as “Brother Boy” in Del Shores’ adaptation of his play “Sordid Lives’” with Olivia Newton-John, Delta Burke and Beau Bridges. He is reprising the role in the television series based on the play and film for the cable network Logo. Other upcoming feature film appearances include “Love Ranch” in a wonderful scene with Helen Mirren directed by Taylor Hackford.

On stage, Mr. Jordan won the Ovation Award, The Garland Award and The Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for his portrayal of “Preston Leroy,” the aging, sodden barfly in Del Shores hit play “Southern Baptist Sissies.”

Mr. Jordan has enjoyed considerable success as a writer. His book My Trip Down the Pink Carpet for Simon and Schuster is currently in bookstores. Material from the book formed the basis of a 90-minute one-man show, which had a successful 45 city book-signing/performance tour in 2008. A dvd of the show shot during performances in Atlanta will be released.

Considered a self-proclaimed gamer nerd who was holding a game controller long before he picked up a pen. a gear head at heart who can’t resist drooling over any vehicle whether it be classic or modern, Maverick grew up immersed in classic Alfred Hitchcock films, fueling his lifelong fascination with suspense and crime thrillers.

When he’s not writing, Maverick can be found tinkering with cars or dreaming of his next project, usually no more five in his mind at once or he can be hiding out in his man cave surrounded by comic books, stacks of video games, and story ideas waiting to be unleashed. Equal parts snark and grit, he pulls his inspiration from Dick Tracy and Punisher comics, or indulging his wife’s latest project antics while figuring out ways to avoid admitting she’s right.

Jack Stone private investigator is working hard to make sure one drug lord is going to stay behind bar. once he gets that wish he was also threatened that it wasn’t the last time Jack was going to hear from Gino. while Gino is behind bars for the time being his boss is still free and Jack wants nothing more than to bring them down and put a bullet in their heads. Will jack get his wish, especially when the ones he loves are put in the line of fire.

Maverick Montgomery lives in the Midwest with his wife of nine years and their three partners-in-crime, his two dogs, Austen and Ava, and cat, Jude. Considered a self-proclaimed gamer nerd who was holding a game controller long before he picked up a pen. a gear head at heart who can’t resist drooling over any vehicle whether it be classic or modern, Maverick grew up immersed in classic Alfred Hitchcock films, fueling his lifelong fascination with suspense and crime thrillers.

When he’s not writing, Maverick can be found tinkering with cars or dreaming of his next project, usually no more five in his mind at once or he can be hiding out in his man cave surrounded by comic books, stacks of video games, and story ideas waiting to be unleashed. Equal parts snark and grit, he pulls his inspiration from Dick Tracy and Punisher comics, or indulging his wife’s latest project antics while figuring out ways to avoid admitting she’s right.
