Nell’s Gossip and Book Hunt 1/6/19
Welcome to my Sunday book hunt and author gossip. Keep coming back for updates on book releases and news from favorite authors.
Back with new releases again… they keep writin’ them, we keep readin’ them.
One of my fave authors, Kris Michaels, is a member of the writers that developed Silver SEALS series which is the focus series today. Her book, SEAL Forever, will be released in June of 2019. The following is the prequel and kick off to the Silver SEALS series. Check out after the description for the excerpt of the story. Remember that these books can be read as stand alone but will be more enjoyable together. I’m positive they were developed especially for me – Happy Ever After and no cliffhangers. Rock on!!
Title: SEAL Strong
Author: Cat Johnson
Series: Silver SEALS #.05
Release date: January 15, 2019
Description: A Second Chance Romance
The only easy day was yesterday, and no one knows that better than Lieutenant Commander Silas Branson.
He may have taken several kicks to the gut but once a Seal always a Seal. He’s never backed down from a hard fight and he doesn’t intend to start now.
Silas lost the love of his life years ago but now he’s back to fight for what’s his.
Maggie was his woman. Despite their difficult past, as far as he is concerned, she is still his woman.
When her life is threatened he moves heaven and hell to protect her and the future he knows they can build together.
Don’t miss the Bone Frog Command’s origin story, the kick-off title to the Silver SEALs series, featuring standalone titles by the Suspense Sisters – Becky McGraw, Donna Michaels, Sharon Hamilton, Geri Foster, Kris Michaels, Abbie Zanders, Trish Loye, Caitlyn O’Leary, KaLyn Cooper, Maryann Jordan, Desiree Holt, J.M. Madden.
Here’s an excerpt:
“Hey.”
Just when he thought he couldn’t feel any lower, her voice behind him had Silas tensing.
This restaurant had been their favorite place to come together. He should have known there’d be a risk he could run into her here.
Drawing in a bracing breath, he turned his head and saw her. Maggie. His ex-wife.
“Hey,” he said for lack of anything better.
Her brows drew low in a frown. “I heard the team deployed. Are you on leave?”
She was still friendly with the other wives. It made sense she’d know. What didn’t make sense is that she cared. Her responsibility ended with his signature on the divorce papers. His beer braced between his two hands as he faced the bar again, he snorted. “Permanent leave.”
“What?” Her voice rose high with surprise.
Silas sighed and turned to face her fully. As much as he didn’t want to have this conversation at all, and especially not with the woman who’d caused the gaping hole that still existed in his heart, he had to answer her.
“I’ve been medically retired.”
“What happened?” Her eyes widened as she visibly swept his body with her gaze.
If she was looking for bullet holes or missing limbs, she wouldn’t find any.
“I blew out my back. Apparently for good.”
She hissed in a breath. “Si, I’m so sorry.”
He believed her. It still didn’t help. “Me too.”
“Hey, I was just going to grab my take-out order. Nothing much. Just pizza and a salad. If you wanted to join me . . .”
He lifted a brow. Was this a pity date? With his ex-wife? Lovely.
Right now, he didn’t care. He realized he hadn’t bothered to eat all day and the thought of pizza, combined with the aroma of it cooking that permeated the air in the restaurant, brought his hunger to the forefront.
And the dead last thing he wanted to do was go back to his new home—a studio apartment rental in town. He obviously didn’t qualify for a room in the barracks on base any longer.
Jobless. Homeless. But at least he had his retirement and disability pay. Thank God for that.
Might as well spend it on something he’d enjoy. “You have any beer in the house?” he asked.
She cringed. “No. Sorry.”
“No worries.” He lifted one hand and signaled the bartender. “Can I buy a six-pack to go? And then you can close out my tab.”
“Sure thing, boss.”
Boss. Not anymore.
He’d been a Lieutenant Commander in one of the finest, most highly trained elite fighting forces in the US military. He was rapidly slipping into a new role—that of sad broken drunk slumped over a bar.
And now he was going to hang out with his ex-wife. His pity party was complete.
Pizza to fill the empty hungry hole in his gut and lots of beer to numb his mind actually helped a bit. So did being back in his old easy chair in the living room.
The familiar surrounding soothed him. Even if it wasn’t his living room any longer it was sure as hell better than that cold depressing room he was renting.
Christ, his life sucked. He glanced up and found Maggie watching him.
“You okay?” she asked.
He lifted one shoulder. “Eh. I just miss it.”
“See, I don’t understand that.”
“What don’t you understand?” he asked.
“How you can miss it. The war. The horrors that you saw. That you faced. I don’t understand it. Maybe I never will.” Shaking her head, she visibly gave up with the flick of her wrist.
Her being so quick to abandon trying to understand made him want to explain. “War and everything that comes with it—all of that, everything you mentioned—is horrible. But it’s an excellent teacher. It made me a better man. I’ve never been in better shape than when I was active duty, mentally and physically. But more, wading through all that destruction taught me appreciation for everything else in life.”
A man could only appreciate what he had once he’d seen what it looked like to have nothing.
Maybe that’s why he so desperately wanted to go back. More than the camaraderie, maybe he needed to see that even with as low as he’d fallen after the loss of his son and the break-up of his marriage, he still had more to be thankful for than every one of those people he’d seen in Aleppo.
Right now he needed the reminder that things could be worse. There he felt like he had a purpose. Here all he felt was . . . lost.
She nodded, giving him hope that maybe she might get it, just little bit. Though why he cared if she did, he didn’t know.
“So, what now?” she asked. “What next?”
He let out a short laugh. “Now, I finish this six-pack and then call an Uber.”
She rolled her eyes indulgently. “I meant for work.”
Things had been easier when they were joking. This topic was too serious, but he knew he couldn’t get away with not answering so he lifted a shoulder and opted for the truth. “I honestly don’t know.”
He could probably survive on his retirement pay.
It wouldn’t be a great life, he wouldn’t be living extravagantly, but he could cover the necessities, like rent and food.
What more did he really need? He’d never needed much in the way of material things. His truck was his biggest and pretty much his only indulgence for himself.
The one thing he really wanted most didn’t cost a cent.
Peace. In his mind. In his soul.
That was also the one thing he couldn’t get no matter how hard he tried, or how much he had.
Money aside, he needed to get a job if only to occupy his mind. All this thinking was going to kill him for sure.
“What if I got you an interview?” Maggie said.
His brows shot high. “An interview where? To do what?”
“Where do you think? DHS, of course. Remember, where I work?” She smirked.
Maybe he was running a little slow from the beer but there were too many reasons why what she said made no sense.
First and foremost, he wasn’t a politician, or a man who was used to riding a desk pushing papers for a living, and that was who mainly filled the ranks of the Department of Homeland Security.
Second, why would the woman who had gone to such great lengths to end their marriage, and get him out of her life, try to get him a job working where she worked?
“That’s crazy.” If his frown didn’t tell her what he thought of her idea, his words hopefully would.
“No, it’s not. Why would you say that?”
“You work as a liaison for the Office of Public Affairs,” he pointed out, not seeing the connection or the point of this whole discussion.
What the hell could he do for them? He could lead a team of warriors. He could follow orders from his superiors, but he wasn’t exactly a people person.
Especially not at the moment while he wallowed in this retirement-induced depression.
“I work as a liaison to the Navy Special Warfare Command for the OPA so don’t act like there is no connection between what you used to do and what I still do. But what I was thinking—if you’d open your mind for a second and consider it—is that my boss has connections with all the agency heads. You could easily be a valuable addition in any number of them. You have experience in a lot of the areas DHS works within.”
“Oh, really? And what areas are those?” he asked.
Close quarters battle? Sharpshooting? Basic underwater demolition? Those were his areas of expertise and they’d have zero value to DHS.
She folded her arms, challenging him. “Do you even know all the different agencies DHS oversees?”
“Yes.”
She cocked a brow high, obviously not believing him.
“I have a basic idea,” he added.
Okay, maybe he didn’t know quite as much about the DHS as he let on, but he wasn’t going to admit that to her. He could Google it later and find out.
Mostly he figured DHS fit in somewhere along with the other government departments. No matter what their official purpose, the end result was usually to make his job in the teams harder.
“You know, you used to come home and complain about how this or that person or this agency or division or whatever didn’t get it. How they couldn’t get it because they’ve never been there where you’ve been or seen the things you saw.” Maggie pinned him with a stare.
He couldn’t deny the truth of her words. “And?”
“Don’t you want an opportunity to change things?”
The dare was clear in her question. She was baiting him. Knowing he usually couldn’t resist a challenge.
He let out a snort. “Is this some kind of ‘the best way to make change is from within’ speech?”
She smiled. “Yes. Is it working?”
His lips twitched. “Maybe.” Silas shook his head. “But it doesn’t matter anyway because there is no way in hell they’d hire me.”
Maggie cocked a brow high. “We’ll see.”
Her confidence stirred something inside him. Something he wished would stay sleeping. A warmth in his cold hard heart. A glow of an ember that with a little encouragement would easily flame up into a full-blown inferno.
Fuck.
The dead last thing he needed right now was to feel the warm and fuzzies toward his ex-wife.
Time to go.

Nell’s Gossip and book hunt 10/13/18
Welcome to my Sunday book hunt and author gossip. Keep coming back for updates on book releases and news from 
favorite authors.
Ruby Lee and I went to Sioux Falls, SD this weekend to see the authors participating in the Fall Into Books Event hosted by On The Run Book Reviews.
Ruby and I didn’t know what to expect since this is the first ever of a hopefully every other year event. We got to Sioux Falls in time to hear through the grapevine that there was going to be an informal meet and greet that evening. After settling in we ventured out. Lo and behold, as we were walking out of our room, here was author Terry Maggert battling the ice machine like it was some ancient demon. You know, writers are pretty tough cookies…
Around 6 pm, we went to see if we could crash the meet and greet event. Ruby sat next to Jane Ashley Converse who wrote Backroads that released July 19, 2018. It’s now in my TBR pile.
Title: Backroads
Author: Jane Ashley Converse
Published: July 19, 2018
Description: A detour is what she needed.
Holly:
I was living the life I always thought I wanted. Good job, rich fiancé, and a glamorous social life. But in a blink of an eye it was all taken away. With nowhere else to go, my aunt offers me a job on her ranch. I didn’t know I’d be forced to work alongside her gorgeous ranch hand Chase. Instead of getting my old life back, I’m finding he’s a distraction I didn’t see coming.
Chase
I’ve spent years running from my past. Don’t stay in one place too long, don’t make long-lasting friendships, and most definitely don’t fall in love. The day I met Holly, I was done running—I just didn’t know it yet. Those heels, that skirt—all wrong for the country, but perfect for her. Her past is keeping her from trusting me. But I’m going to show her she’s more than worth the wait.
For a bit (because she fluttered around from person to person like a super hostess) I got to sit and visit with Annaliese Murine. She flies through this world like a bullet on crack. Her On The Run Book Reviews is perfectly named. Annie knew that I was super stoked to meet Kris Michaels – the author that, as she walked into the room, the sky opened and angels sang. Okay, that’s maybe a bit dramatic, but I was very excited to meet her. Kris writes The Kings of Guardian series, The Guardian Security Shadowland 
series and she’s also taking part in the Silver SEALs series.
Annie sat me next to Kris Michaels who was super nice and very modest. “I’m no celebrity” she says. Uh huh. Right. In my book, she definitely is a celebrity. While we sat visiting, her husband sent her a picture of the sunset overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, where Kris lives. It was an warm and inviting photo not only because it was picturesque, but because it had snowed in Sioux Falls that day.
I got to ask questions of all the authors that were there but the thing I had always wondered was how Kris got so in depth with her characters and well, it’s a complicated process. In my opinion, she is a great writer because of all the research and effort she puts into creating her books. If you haven’t read them, stop over to your local ebook store and check them out.
On my other side was Mira Lyn Kelly. She was another author that had a lot of insight as to how the book world worked as she should because of all the books she has published. She’s also now on my TBR pile.
ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT – Saturday. Ruby and I stood in line so we could be one of the first 50 to get swag bags. After we were admitted, there was so much to see that I didn’t know where to start. That turned into a no brainer since Kris Michaels was practically inside the door. We kind of felt like Norm on the tv show Cheers. It made us both feel all warm and fuzzy inside to be recognized. I went from table to table looking at book covers trying to decide if they were my genre or not. Either way you look at it, my TBR pile multiplied. There are a lot of great authors out there, we just don’t know them yet!
Ruby’s holy grail meeting was E.J. Whitmer who wrote Iowish Roots. According to Ruby it was amazing, so I think that endorsement alone should warrant a wander over to your ebook store and check it out.
Title: Iowish Roots
Author: E.J. Whitmer
Published: December 15, 2017
Description: After suffering a devastating loss, Violet Monroe needs a fresh start. Billybog, Ireland is the ideal place to open a coffee shop and finally live the life of her dreams. With her Instagram-famous dog in tow, she says goodbye to Iowa and runs toward her next adventure.
Pub owner Aidan Donovan is the epitome of a wounded soul. Jaded by his last relationship, he’s dedicated his life to never giving his heart to anyone again… then, he meets “Lettie”, Billybog’s newest resident. She’s beautiful, funny, and an American, and that makes her too much of a risk. While he does everything he can think of to keep her at a safe distance, her quirky American sensibilities and irresistible nature prove to be more difficult to resist than he imagined.
Will Lettie find her new home in the arms of a brooding Irishman, or will his tortured soul keep them from the happily-ever-after they both deserve?
Here comes the picture of the haul that Ruby made. I was thrilled with the books and swag I got too. I just want to say, if you ever come across a book signing of authors that are not known – take a risk and check them out. They are worth it. 
Now, let me talk quick about the logo below. Stitches Embroidery had these very cool screen prints available on just about anything. I ordered the reading team in a sweatshirt, hoarding books in a tshirt and I got the audio nerd in a coozie. I am positive that if anyone out there wants to order something, the proprietor would be more than happy to accommodate. Contact her through her website or she also has 
a page on Facebook. As a reader, I love to promote my habit.

Nell’s Gossip and Book Hunt 8/19/18
Welcome to my Sunday book hunt and author gossip. Keep coming back for updates on book releases and news from favorite authors.
Back with new releases again… they keep writin’ them, we keep readin’ them!
Kris Michaels just released Asp (see August 15 post – I thought the book was fab), and here she is working double time getting another story out! Check out the newest release.
Title: A Backwater Blessing
Author: Kris Michaels
Series: The Kings of Guardian and Hearts Desire crossover
Released: August 9, 2018
Description: When Cole, Mr. FBI, and Logan, local cop and reigning Ice Princess, hook up to solve a case of Mississippi corruption at the highest judicial levels, sparks fly. Their attraction is hotter than the sultry southern sun. She wants to hate him—but she can’t. And Cole would never commit career suicide by staying in a backwater Mississippi town… not for any woman… especially not for Isabella Logan Church.
***ALERT: I asked the author for position in the line up of The Kings of Guardian books and here’s what she said…
“This story takes place while Joseph’s book is happening. Davis then makes an appearance in Jasmine’s book and in A Heart’s Desire. So I really can’t make it a .5. It is just Cole’s backstory.” ~Kris Michaels
Another Kris Michaels announcement–she’s releasing another book on October 31. It’s a cool anthology of the digital sort. There are nine authors who are going to submit different stories in the SEALs of Paradise series. The series will be released September – October 2018. Check them out when you can.
Title: Hot SEAL, Single Malt 
Author: Kris Michaels
Series: SEALs of Paradise
To Be Released: October 31, 2018
Description: A sense of duty drove Gunner Kincade’s twenty years of service as a Navy SEAL and after his Pops had a stroke, that same sense of duty drove him back to Half Moon Bay to help his old man run his bar, The Wayward Walrus. He meant to surprise Pops with the news he’d retired and was home to stay. It didn’t exactly work to plan. Pops had hired a tiny fireball by the name of A.J. Erickson. Before she’d even learned his name, A.J. managed to sic the local police on him, drown him in dirty mop water and crush his privates, and to his chagrin, she wasn’t going anywhere. Pops had sold her twenty percent of his bar.
After she healed enough to leave the east Texas hospital and testify against her ex-boyfriend, A.J. packed up and drove west. Answering Silas Kincaide’s help wanted ad seemed an answer to a prayer. The old gentleman needed her skills and it didn’t hurt they got along like a house-a-fire. She settled in and made Half Moon Bay and the Walrus her home. After the physical abuse she’d suffered in Texas, she’d honed her ninja skills and though tiny, she stood her ground and defended the Walrus from a trespassing, six-foot-four, muscle-bound, hulk. When Silas introduced the hunched over male, the one cradling his balls, as his son, Gunner, she about died from mortification. Things went downhill from there.
What’s an ex-SEAL to do when a diminutive fireball worms her way past all the bruises she’s inflicted and into his unwilling heart?
Next in line is a series that I haven’t started yet (bows head in shame). It looks so very good and I love Bec McMaster‘s writing. It’s like I need to have a full-time job just reading books! Anyway, check it out!
Title: To Catch a Rogue
Author: Bec McMaster
Series: London Steampunk: The Blueblood Conspiracy #4
To be released: October 30, 2018
Description: An impossible heist. A thief and a rogue. But will she steal his heart, instead?
The Company of Rogues finally knows the identity of the mastermind behind a plot against the queen—but their enemy is still one step ahead of them. When he kidnaps one of theirs, the Rogues plan a daring rescue mission that will lead them into the heart of the bloodthirsty Crimson Court.
It’s a job for a master thief, and there’s nothing Charlie Todd likes more than a challenge. To pull off the impossible, Charlie needs a crew, including the only thief who’s ever been able to outfox him.
He broke her heart. But now she must risk it all to save his life…
Lark’s spent years trying to forget her past, but the one thing she can’t ignore is the way a single smile from Charlie still sets her heart on fire. When he proposes they work together again, it feels just like old times, but she has one rule: this is strictly business.
It’s Charlie’s last chance to prove he can be trusted with her heart. But Lark’s keeping a deadly secret. And as passions are stirred and the stakes mount, it might be the kind of secret that could destroy them all…
Ocean’s 11 meets Dracula, in this sexy paranormal heist by USA Today Bestselling Author, Bec McMaster. If you like sexy paranormal romances, steampunk shenanigans, and plenty of action-adventure (vampires, dirigible flights, and steamy rooftop chases), then dive into this thrilling heist with Charlie and Lark.
You could say I’ve been catching up on my series books as of late. I really am excited about that because it’s like a family reunion. The next series update is from Teresa Gabelman and her The Protectors series. The one thing I loved about this book is that there is trouble in paradise for one of the vampire couples. You know how you read along and are supposed to believe that each mated pair will be happy with one another for eternity? You know and I know how unrealistic that is. I mean every couple has their spats. This story showcases a new and freshly minted couple AND it does show a fissure in a couple that is not the prime focus of the book. It makes it more real life, in my opinion anyway. And more to that is that Steve learns his superpower and the wedding goes on. Oh, and I had to go back and read Sloan again. Couldn’t resist.
Title: Ronan
Author: Teresa Gabelman
Series: The Protectors #12
Released: July 30, 2018
Description: Most think that newest VC Warrior, Ronan McDonald, is just a laid-back cowboy. What they don’t see is the inner turmoil that only his small ranch and horses can tame. At least that was the way it had been until a witch with a beauty none could deny walked into his life.
Running has been Kira Grail’s life for as long as she can remember. It isn’t until she meets a VC Warrior that she realizes she is growing weary, but the forces chasing her will never bend.
Ronan doesn’t believe in witches or curses. What he does believe is that only he can keep Kira safe. Together they fight to bring the once powerful warlock, Orjyll, to his knees releasing the women of the Dragonfly Coven. During their perilous journey, Kira vows to keep her distance, but the vampire cowboy has other plans.
The last update I have today is the new Chloe Neill series. Heirs of Chicagoland #1 starts out with Merit and Ethan’s little girl all grown up. It’s so weird. Not in a bad way at all. It’s just that I’m welcoming a new generation to take my favorite vampires places. It’s just weird.
I’m halfway through the book, but I had to stop to go back and read Howling for You and Slaying It (my reviews will be upcoming). It makes me feel old to go back to when Keene was a tiny baby and Elisa was not born yet. What makes me feel even more strange is that their parents haven’t aged a bit. I’m not sure I’m cut out for this vampire life. Anyway, I’ll be reviewing it all very soon, so if you are interested, keep a weather eye out.
Title: Wild Hunger
Author: Chloe Neill
Series: Heirs of Chicagoland #1
Released: August 14, 2018
Description: As the only vampire child ever born, some believed Elisa Sullivan had all the luck. But the magic that helped bring her into the world left her with a dark secret. Shifter Connor Keene, the only son of North American Central Pack Apex Gabriel Keene, is the only one she trusts with it. But she’s a vampire and the daughter of a Master and a Sentinel, and he’s prince of the Pack and its future king.
When the assassination of a diplomat brings old feuds to the fore again, Elisa and Connor must choose between love and family, between honor and obligation, before Chicago disappears forever.

Asp (Guardian Security Shadow World #2) by Kris Michaels
Guardian Security’s Shadow World reveals Asp. The Shadow World operatives have nothing. No real relationships, no ties. All they have is their job, and their closest friends are other assassins. How does one drop their guard long enough to let someone else in?
Title: Asp
Author: Kris Michaels
Series: Guardian Security Shadow World #2
Publish Date: July 31, 2018
Genre: Military Romance
Source: reviewers purchase
Publisher’s Description: As a Shadow, Asp planned his assassinations with meticulous care. His work required one thing, that the Council direct his kills. The coded target became a “sanctioned hit” and that distinction was vital.
His most recent assignment took him to a remote area of the Andes Mountains in Colombia. He completed his assassination according to plan – more or less – but no amount of careful planning could have prepared him for the dire circumstances he found himself in. As he faded in and out of consciousness due to a life-threatening bullet wound, he knew he might not get home. He’d resigned himself to dying alone, just not this soon.
Lyric Gadson was an unwilling expatriate. She’d trade her grandfather’s farm in the foothills of the Andes for her old life in Jacksonville, Florida in a heartbeat. But, the cost of a return ticket was out of reach, and Lyric found herself maturing from carefree teen to responsible woman on a remote Colombia banana farm. When her beloved grandfather failed to return from his yearly pilgrimage to his wife’s shrine, Lyric thought nothing of packing her kit and hiking into the Andes mountains to find him. She found her grandfather—and an unconscious man near death. Her decision to stay and care for the dying man would usher in the greatest love of her life, but it could also threaten everyone else she held dear.
Nervous Nellie’s nervousness necessitates knowledge of the novel. In other words… SPOILERS. *BEWARE*
Nervous Nellie says…
This is a new series, a spin-off of The Kings of Guardian series. These men (so far) are assassins who take care of the sanctioned kills of super bad people. This story does have some swearing, some sex but no cliffhanger. There are also guns, scary situations and an impossible kind of love that becomes possible.
Kris Michaels’s writing ranks right up there with a lot of great writers–Susan Stoker, Teresa Gabelman, and Tina Folsom are just a few. This story is well thought out and is written so well that it’s very hard to put down. As a matter of fact, the pages practically turn themselves.
Since I’ve never been an assassin or in a situation where I had to hole up in a cave and heal after a gunshot wound, I can’t say if this story is believable or would actually happen like it does in the book. With that said, I believe it. I can’t imagine the hours of research that this author has put into her books, but like I said, they are so well written and action-packed that I felt like I was a mouse hidden in the backpack coming along for the ride.
There is no doubt that this is a 5 star. Every time I finish one of Michaels’s books, I think it can’t get any better, but by the time the next book rolls around and I read it, it gets better. Cheers to an amazing author.
