About COWBOY PLAYER
This cowboy and cowgirl sell the steak and the sizzle.
For eight years, Melody Santos played the game of love and lost—big time. Now she’s back in her tiny hometown looking after her younger sister, making ends meet with an assortment of odd jobs. When her childhood best friend hires her to help him sell his family’s grass-fed beef, the last thing she anticipates is falling in lust with the legendary, brown-eyed player.
To put his family’s cattle ranch back in the black, Clark MacKinnon has his sights set on big contracts—gourmet chefs and restaurateurs. If that means long hours traveling from farmer’s market to farmer’s market, Clark doesn’t mind. Particularly since his new assistant is his childhood crush, all grown up and sexy as hell.
One night in bed leaves them breathless and hungry for more. But when his love-’em-and-leave-’em reputation collides with her trust issues, Clark and Melody must face the truth about what they’ve become: not friends, not lovers, but players in a game that’s impossible to win.
Warning: Contains filthy banter, raunchy sex, excessive Johnny Cash references, and hundreds of pounds of raw beef.
Here is an exclusive excerpt from COWBOY PLAYER:
Melody shook her head. “You can’t help yourself, can you, MacKinnon? You’re a hopeless flirt.”
“Flirting? Thought I was just drinking beer and being myself.” He looked down at the empty
coaster in front of her. “What about you? What are you having? Gin and tonic, right?”
He remembered her favorite drink. Melody smiled. “No, I’m good. I’m on sister watch tonight.
She really wants to cut loose. Someone’s gotta hold her hair back when the vomit flies. Which it
inevitably will.” She waved her hand at him. “You should go have a good time. Get yourself a nice piece. Enjoy your Saturday night.”
Only Clark could make a shrug look so sexy. “But I’m already enjoying my Saturday night.”
Something about the way he said those words made Melody’s skin tingle.
As an experiment, she uncrossed her legs and leaned forward, resting her arms on the bar. For a nanosecond, Clark’s dark eyes darted to her cleavage before resting on his beer. A sudden, electric thrill shimmied down her spine. Her body clenched with pleasure, knowing she could still get the attention of a man as insanely hot as Clark MacKinnon.
But then…guilt.
That’s Clark. Don’t flirt with Clark.

About COWBOY VALENTINE:
Forget chocolate and flowers. This homegrown honey is all the sweetness he craves.
Small-town life is nothing but a waiting room for eighteen-year-old honor student Corazón Gomez. Work and school leave little time for love, but with a full-ride Ivy League scholarship and a one-way ticket out of the boondocks, who needs it?
The answer appears on Valentine’s Day when her old cowboy crush ambles into the ice cream parlor where she works, inviting her to go on a late-night ride in his truck. For the first time she wavers between staying on the straight and narrow, and going off-road with the handsome heartbreaker.
After four years working on ranches all over the country, Caleb MacKinnon is back on the family farm helping out his mom and brothers while his father fights cancer. The one bright spot: smart, funny, and wickedly sexy Cora.
From the start, they both know this blazing-hot love affair can’t last. But when autumn comes and Cora has to leave for the East Coast, Caleb must find a solution to keep himself—and his heart—from falling apart.
Warning: Contains hard, cherry-poppin’ sex in a pickup truck and a cowboy charmer who talks dirty in two languages.

About COWBOY RESURRECTION:
Ball-busting business woman meets no-holds-barred cowboy. He’s gonna need a longer rope…
Marketing hotshot Monica Kaur has put her big-city life on hold to help bail out her brother’s failing business. Now she’s got three months to plan and promote a rodeo, the first her tiny hometown has ever seen.
To ensure the rodeo’s success, Monica enlists a local hero, a rancher’s son who’s made a name for himself on the bull-riding circuit. Problem? She can’t stop daydreaming about the cocky bastard—and all the things she longs to do to him out behind the chutes.
Professional bullfighter Dean MacKinnon is home helping his family while his father fights cancer. Haunted by bad memories, jaded by love, Dean finds escape in a no-strings-attached go-round with brainy, sexy Monica, whose close-knit Sikh-American family would sooner run him out of town than see her with a notorious rodeo Romeo.
In private, Monica and Dean play as hard as they work. But as the rodeo draws near, that clean break they promised each other is getting more and more hung up in the rigging.

HELL ON HEELS by Anne Jolin
Genre: Women's Fiction Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 26, 2016
— SYNOPSIS —
I use people. Not in a malicious way, but in the way an addict abuses their substance of choice. People are my vice—men specifically. I crave the emotional high they give me with a unique and reckless disregard for my own well-being—eagerly floating into an unsustainable euphoria, knowing full well that after every high comes an equal, if not more powerful, plummet into a devastating abyss. But like every junkie, I crawl willingly back into the arms of my demons.
Oh, the price we pay to feel loved. We’d all sell our souls to the devil himself for that. Perhaps I have already.
They say that acknowledging that you have a problem is one of the first steps to recovery. Well, in that case, my name is Charleston Smith and I have a fucking problem.

— ABOUT THE AUTHOR: ANNE JOLIN —
Hey y’all,
I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns, and driving in trucks.
I never expected to be an author. A massage therapist? Yes. Take over the family construction company? Yes. But an author? No. Writing was something that snuck up on me and rooted itself into my life. It was beautiful to discover that love, and I’m truly grateful to say I’ve found my passion.
Since I’ve always been a creative person, it feels amazing to harness all of that energy and use it to tell a story I love. I enjoy incorporating bits of my real life into the stories I write. What parts are true? Hah. I’ll never tell—what would be the fun in that?
If I could leave y’all with one thing, it’s that life’s far too short to not live it out loud. Drown in your passions, hold on tight to the things that inspire you, and chase your dreams relentlessly. I can promise you without a doubt that you won’t regret it. I know I don’t.
Mad love,
Anne Jolin

Recenzie Cautand fericirea Vol.I, Vol. II de Teresa Wojcik
Romanul de dragoste „CĂUTÂND FERICIREA“ prezintă confruntarea celor două forțe ce alcătuiesc ECHILIBRUL : iubirea și ura , binele și răul, plusul și minusul pe care le regăsim în viața fiecăruia dintre noi.
Întruchipând în cele două personaje Aimèe și Hades provocările și tentațiile adolescenței, autoarea Teresa Wojcik, aduce prin această carte un mesaj tinerilor de vârsta ei: ,,Căutarea Fericirii este o călătorie de introspecție spre echilibrul personal, spre desăvârșirea comuniunii, spre viața însăși“.
Aflată la vârsta adolescenței, scriitoarea Teresa Wojcik, debutează cu acest roman de dragoste, scris într-un mod inedit, fiind primul roman cu peste 900 de pagini scrise pe un telefon mobil, strângând peste 1 320 000 de cititori în mediul on-line.
Romanul de debut al Teresei Wojcik „Căutând fericirea“ ̶ te seduce prin prospețimea scrisului. Este un roman „imaginat“ de o adolescentă, pentru adolescenți, dar, tot atât de bine, își poate găsi cititori și printre maturi… Cine nu își dorește să se întoarcă înapoi, în timp, să evadeze din viața cotidiană? Este o poveste de dragoste absolut cuceritoare, care a avut peste 1400000 de vizualizări online. Principala idee a acestei cărți este procesul de transformare a emoțiilor toxice și a traumelor din copilărie, în creuzetul iubirii împărtășite. Schimbarea este profundă și surprinzătoare chiar și pentru cei doi protagoniști care trăiesc o iubirea intensă. Modul în care autoarea te conduce pe acest drum al transformării emoționale, te face să te identifici cu personajele și să devii tu însuți parte din poveste.

My opinion:
E destul de
soncant cum o carte, scrisa de un autor roman, poate sa te suprinda in asemenea
hal. Si nu orice autor. 18 ani?! Wtf?! Eu la 18 ani… nu cred ca eram capabila
de asemenea simtiri, gandiri si sentimente. Ma consideram matura la vremea
aceea, insa vazand felul cum Teresa (pseudonimul autoarei) a reusit sa imi
zdruncine gandirea si sentimentele, nu cred ca eram in maturitatea de care ea da
dovata. CPentru astfel de ganduri trebuie sa fii trait mult si experimentat
atatea fericirea si totodata o dubla tristete la aceea fericire.
Ambele
volume iti transmit modul matrut de gandirea a autoarei, felul cum se joaca cu
cuvintele, felul cum a reusit prin simplitatea lor sa iti ofere atatea emotii
si a-ti pune la bataie modul de a gandi despre viata ta. Chiar daca iti
prezinta un caz din viata cuiva, care poate sau nu sa existe, toate
intamplarile, actiunea si evenimentele lor tinzi sa le asociezi cu viata ta de
zi cu zi. Asta e lucrul de care ne reaminteste tanara autoare noua,
cititorilor: sa nu uitam pentru ce citim. Da, citim pentru poveste, insa citim
pentru mult mai mult. Citim, pentru ca, din fiecare poveste deprindem ceva,
mentalitatea noastra sufera transformari. Pentru ca, citind, traim prin pori si ochii personajlui,
incat simtim ca noi suntem acele personaje.
Cartile
acestea imi aduc aminte de volumele lui Jamie Mcguire, care au aparut la
Editura Trei: Fericirea incepe azi si Fericirea mea esti tu. In primul rand, pentru
ca sunt scrise din perspective ambelor personaje principale, si al doilea
lucru, pentru ca povestea este destul de asemanatoare, cat si personajele. Insa
ceea ce o difera de aceasta este transformarea ei, a povestii, in ceva mai bun,
mai matur, mai complicat si totodata atat de simplu. Pe parcursul primul volum,
personajele principale, cele vizate de fapt si in jurul carora se construieste
toata actiunea, interactioneaza, romantic chiar, din primul capitol, dar nu
exista un moment de intimitatea intre ei, facandu-te sa vrei mai mult, sis a iubesti
cartea din ce in ce mai mult. Te multumesti cu ce ai si iubesti putinul pe care
autoarea ti-l da. Asta face cartile atat de speciale.
Stilul
autoarei este un simplu, ne necesitand o imbogatire a limbajului, o inflorire a
replicilor, o impopotanare de detalii si incurcaturi de evenimente. Este exact
asa cum orice cititor si-l doreste. Cate putin din toate.
Povestea
este una care v-a ramane pentru cu voi si care va v-a pune la indoiala intreaga
viata. Este minunat sa vezi cate poti invata din carti, si mai ales provenind
de la o autoare atat de tanara, avand atatea ganduri pe care vrea sa le imparta
cu noi. Sper ca, cartile acestea sa fie citite de fiecare roman (care sties a citeasc)
si de ce nu, poate, sa fie ceva BIG si peste oceane pentru ca aceste carti merita
stiuta si impartatsita cu fiecare om cu care ai contact.
Primul
volum are 460 de pagini, volumul doi 300 de pagini, coperta paperback si au
aparut la Editura Smart Publishing. Cartile pot fi comandate de pe site-ul
autoarei teresawojcik.ro.

Favorite quotes:
„Sunt de parere ca arta nu este neaparat un lucru, ci mai de graba o cale. Arta e ordine, e certitudine si armonie.”
”Succesul inseamna sa obtii ceea ce iti doresti. Fericirea inseamana sa-ti doresti ceea ce obti.”
„Barbati sunt niste nenorociti si fac greseli, dar si femeile plang prea des.”
„Stii, se zice ca oamenii care traiesc in intuneric au cele mai colorate minti.”
„Ori devenisem paranoic, ori fata asta avea sa ma faca sa o iubesc pe vecie.”
