Teaser Tuesday

by Carol11 Comments
Grab your current read. Let the book fall open to a random page. Share with us two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page. You also need to share the title of the book that you're getting your "teaser" from...that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you've given. Please avoid spoilers! My teaser: Clients came in an endless variety of guises, but you did not last long in the investigation business unless you learned to distinguish between two broad groups: safe and dangerous. Jack Winters was clearly in the second category. -pg. 13, Fired Up by Jayne Ann Krentz Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Play along. My copy was borrowed from the library.

The Cowboy’s Christmas Miracle by RaeAnne Thayne

by Carol7 Comments
The Cowboy's Christmas Miracle by RaeAnne Thayne The term "cowboy" is a little misleading. Carson McRaven is no ordinary cowboy. He does own a new ranch with horses and cattle, but he also owns a billion dollar multinational tech company. Jenna Wheeler, a widow with four children, is his neighbor and the former owner of his land. The two manage to live near each other in relative peace, although the kids always run amok on Carson's land. But, when Carson has business associates come in to town right before Christmas, he needs some help, and Jenna is the perfect chef to turn to. Of course, sparks fly, gazes are lingering and passion-filled. Carson learns to open his heart and Jenna learns that he's the perfect man for her. She smiled against his chest, even as she fought tears of joy. "I get it now. You just love me for my snickerdoodles." He laughed softly and it was the sweetest sound she had ever heard....

Her gaze met his and in those glittery green depths he saw the same spark of awareness that sizzled through him, the same subtle yearning. -pg. 114, The Cowboy's Christmas Miracle by RaeAnne Thayne Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Deep Kiss of Winter by Kresley Cole and Gena Showalter

by Carol2 Comments
Deep Kiss of Winter by Kresley Cole and Gena Showalter I've been reading a lot of kids books this month, but this one is definitely for adults. These are two hot paranormal romances, perfect for the wintry weather we've been having lately. I will definitely be reading more by both of these author's. Of course, paranormal romance is one of my favorite genres. In Cole's "Untouchable," Murdoch Wroth will stop at nothing to claim Daniela the Ice Maiden -- the delicate Valkyrie who makes his heart beat for the first time in three hundred years. Yet the exquisite Danii is part ice fey, and her freezing skin can't be touched by anyone but her own kind without inflicting pain beyond measure. Soon desperate for closeness, in an agony of frustration, Murdoch and Danii will do anything to have each other. Together, can they find the key that will finally allow them to slake the overwhelming desire burning between them? Showalter gives us the...
