LIVE!! —> HER BOYFRIEND & HIS BEST FRIEND…

“…It has to be. I said goodbye to the possibility of forever with him the moment my mom and his dad “introduced us” at their engagement dinner.

Three years have passed, but that doesn’t matter to Greedy. He’s hell-bent on making sure I remember it all.

On my darkest nights, the memories win. Since his bedroom is just two doors down, he’s the anchor I seek when it all feels like too much.

JEWEL E. ANN’S LATEST IS LIVE!! —> HE’S LOOKING FOR HER & SHE HAS A NEW BOYFRIEND…

Mona: I just finished Jewel E. Ann’s latest, “I Thought of You”. The book is awesome, a little predictable, but tissues are needed! I love this author! I love how I get pulled into her stories and the emotions they elicit.

SUPER-BARGAIN TODAY!!!

When two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell, in a war among gods, to seal their fate forever.

Tasha J: I’m reading Divine Rivals right now and absolutely loving it! I feel the chemistry- enemies to lovers is my favorite. Super excited to see where it takes me, I don’t want to put it down.

Tasha J: I finished Divine Rivals and it was amazing! I’m so sad it’s over, as I figured I would be and wish I had book 2. But, the chemistry was 👌 and the fantasy wasn’t too much. I don’t mind either way, but I think anyone who doesn’t enjoy fantasy would like this book also. I’d say something like You’ve Got Mail/The Hating Game with a hint of mythology and magic and a war of the God’s going on. Now how am I supposed to follow that up?
