Book Description:

Tessa Von Hellengaard is a real witch. Magical spells aside, she’s snarky and selfish, and the other witches in her silent spell coven are fed up with her. Their plan to reform Tessa involves taking away her magic, saddling her with one hundred extra pounds, and sending her to a weight loss spa.

For good measure they call in Liam Kennedy, a charming and sexy fairy godfather, to teach her some manners. Desperate to regain her magic and determined to shed the weight, Tessa soon realizes that protecting her heart from Liam will prove to be her greatest challenge.

~~~~~~~~

While I didn’t have time to finish Witch Weigh before the tour, I can tell you how I feel about what I’ve read so far.

Yes, Tessa is snarky and selfish in the beginning. You want to shake her and say, “Heh, you’re driving everyone away. Snap out of it.”

I like snarky characters, to a point.

Her fellow witches come up with a plan and it’s a doozy.

So far, I’m having a fun read and even though Tessa put me off in the beginning, I’m fully committed to seeing her come around and can’t wait to see what happens with Liam.

The author is offering this book for free right now and I recommend you hop right over here and get yours.

It’s just now getting real interesting!

Welcome to My Monday Minis.

This is where I review very short stories and flash fiction.

For today I’ll be telling you about Buick Cannon by Brandon Berntson.

Buick Cannon: A Joke From the Moon

goodreads-badge-add-plus

My Review

Buick Cannon is nobody special. Your average Joe. Goes to work, pays his bills, stays to himself, and makes regular stops at his favorite watering hole to chase away the drudgery of everyday life.

Then, things begin to change. He experiences lost time, has dark, violent thoughts and urges, and begins to act out.

He deteriorates rapidly.

I couldn’t figure out if he was taking a ‘ trip fantastic’ or just plain loco.

Then the big surprise. You find out why he is changing, figuratively and physically. You’ll discover something from his past, long ago. So long ago, even he didn’t remember it.

I felt like the author took out my brain and juggled it!

I was confused, shocked, and so curious as I followed Buick’s descent into something bizarre.

The author had me coming and going, before he let me in on what’s really happening to Buick.

It wasn’t what I expected at all, but certainly explained things.

Follow Buick down the rabbit hole, but be warned. This isn’t Wonderland.

Cover Reveal - SOMEONE ELSE'S SKYE Banner

I love doing cover reveals

It’s always exciting to finally see it and to discover if it is anything like you imagined it would be.

With Someone Else’s Skye, Men of Brahm Hill, Book 1, I kind of figured it would be a sexy hunk of manflesh.

What’s really great is we get to see a face.

I don’t mind book covers that reveal some yummy abs and low slung jeans. Believe me!

But it’s nice to see a bit of the chiseled face too.

Now, I’m wondering what color his eyes are, and I swear, I was expecting him to open those eyes and gaze at me at any moment.

This cover art is amazing and so life-like I swear he’s going to look up!

So, what color do you think his eyes are?

He looks deep in thought. What is he thinking about?

SOMEONE ELSE’S SKYE

Men of Brahm Hill, Book 1

 

Coming October 1, 2013

Kane, Brethren Guardian and one of the few Natural Shape-Shifters left in existence, survived the bloody battle of Brahm Hill but lost two of his closest friends. For all of his good-natured sarcasm and eye-popping good looks, Kane finds himself unable to completely forget about that night, so he seeks comfort in the one thing he is truly good at . . . sex!

This shape-shifting bad boy believes in having a good time—a very good time, usually involving some mingled heavy breathing with a sexy Dhampir in a tiny closet somewhere. But when he’s sent into the freezing tundra of the Northwest Territories to investigate a troublesome supernatural being on the loose, he ends up crossing paths with a woman who almost instantly drives him insane with want . . . because she doesn’t seem to be falling for the shifter’s charms.

It’s completely inexplicable.

Skye Matthews has a job to do, and she needs to be focused on that, not spending all her time rebuffing the advances of this way-too-cocky and handsome stranger. Yet, there is something irresistible about this self-involved playboy that Skye can’t seem to stay away from. And when the unidentified Kane is sent to investigate takes an unnatural interest in her, protecting her becomes the Guardian’s top priority.
