Author Spotlight / August 29, 2017

The third book in Julie Anne Long’s critically acclaimed, Rita-nominated, Best of 2016 Hellcat Canyon series is here—and the reviews are extraordinary: from Romantic Times… A RARE Five-Star GOLD review (a book is in a class by itself): “Just when you think you can’t fall deeper in love with Hellcat Canyon, along comes Avalon and Mac. Hilarious and touching…flawlessly executed, DIRTY DANCING AT DEVIL’S LEAP is easily the most romantic read of the summer.” from Publishers Weekly… A STARRED review: “…the best of the series so far…sparkling banter, adorable children and animals, and moments of charming hilarity will gratify both new and returning readers.” from All About Romance… A rare “A” Grade and DESERT ISLE Keeper status: “I started after dinner one evening, expecting to read a few chapters before getting ready for bed. The book gods laughed at that one, y’all, because the next thing I knew it was midnight and I was nearly hugging my Kindle for love of this book.” THE STORY… She was a naive country girl. He was a billionaire’s spoiled son. He was her first crush, her first heartbreak…and now her sworn enemy. As Avalon Harwood’s fortunes soared, Maximilian “Mac” Coltrane’s plummeted, and he…

Dear Readers, If you’re like me, you’re missing the show Downton Abbey. There’s something about the Edwardian era that kept me enthralled for five straight seasons.

I don’t know how many of you are old enough to remember Top Gun (am I aging myself here?), but if you like the idea of military heroes competing in the air, and getting frisky on the ground, my new series, Elite Ops might be right up your alley. Set in the world of Red Flag, an international military exercise where reputations, careers and billion-dollar contracts are made and lost, the first book of the series, ACES WILD, starts a wild ride of espionage, sabotage, and finding love in extraordinary circumstances. In the heat of the Nevada desert, the most elite military pilots in the world are about to engage in some friendly competition. Only this year, someone is changing all the rules… RAF pilot Dexter Stone has been through his fair share of sticky situations. After living through a crash in enemy territory where no one expected him to walk away, the Red Flag training exercises should be a piece of cake – assuming he can keep his mind on the mission and not on the smart mouth of his gorgeous American competition. As one of the few women in a sky full of hotshot flyboys, Maj. Eleanor Daniels…

I had so much fun writing this book and am so excited that I finally get to share it with you! I’ve been wanting to write Tori’s story ever since I first created her to be Chloe’s roommate in Ruined. With her ever-changing hair color, smart mouth and bad girl attitude, I knew she had a story to tell. And does she ever! And Miles is one heck of a sexy engineer, with one heck of a redemption story. I can’t wait to hear what you think!!! Here’s the link if you want to check it out: http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/251132/flawed-by-tracy-wolff/9781101884881/ Here’s the blurb: The bestselling Ethan Frost series introduces a tantalizing new hero—and the broken woman only he can save.
