The True Death: A Michele Shepard Story (The True Death Series Book 1)
RK Gleason
Ok, so here's my story - my BFF is an author. She comes to the Pittsburgh area for signings and I go as her PA. When we go to signings, I look through the authors and stalk them on Amazon to see what they write. I stumbled upon RK Gleason, looked at his reviews (cause that's how I roll) and saw all 5 and 4 stars. I'm thinking, "Ok, I can give this guy a try" - #oneclick the sample. I read it and was hooked, no pun intended.
The sample of this story was outstanding. I got to the end and thought "ok, I get to see him tomorrow, I can either download the book to my Kindle, or wait until I see him and get a signed book". I waited, met the author, told him the above story, had my photo op and went on my merry way, signed book and Polaroid photo in hand. :)
This story is quite fascinating. It's graphic, descriptive, reader grabbing prose, draws you into the world of Purgatory. An amazing place after death. You have 2 rules to follow and only 2 rules. You never die (unless you break rule 1 or 2), you can be hurt, but you recover, you can drink, smoke and otherwise be a glutton and never feel the effects. Following the 2 main characters, Horace and Michele, on their mission to save newcomers from breaking the rules, the reader is snared by the adventure, mystery and ultimate plot in Purgatory.
RK Gleason spins a tale so elaborate, the reader cannot help but get lost in this book. The characters are hilarious, snarky, personable and crafty. The story captures you and guides you through a world that comes to life as you read. Maybe not for the faint of heart, because of the detail Mr. Gleason provides in some areas of the book. Still an absolutely incredible read, that I will definitely put on my read again shelf!
I can officially say, I will be one clicking the entire series and look forward to more by this author.

Just Breath Again by Mia Villano

Rating overview:
Story: 5
Publisher: Self
Author: Mia Villano
Length: (in pages) 186
Release Date: January 19, 2016

Jeannie Franklin has suffered the loss of her one true love. She never got to tell him goodbye. Killed in a motorcycle accident, he husband was her life, love and all the happiness she needed. Leaving her and her two children behind, Jeanie is devastated.

Finally accepting her future, she meets a man that makes her feel things she hasn't felt in years. But the ultimate act of faith comes when she finds out her oldest is sick. She needs to find her faith again, harbor it and make sure she believes, because this is going to push her to her limits.

I cried. I am not a crier but I cried. Like ugly, sobbing cry. Maybe it was "that time of the month", maybe it was being a mom with a sick child, maybe it was the writing and the story behind Mia Villano's Just Breath Again. Maybe it was all three. What I do know is this book was amazing.

In this epic read about Jeannie Franklin and all the losses she has to overcome, Ms. Villano weaves an emotional tale. Love, loss and the more sought after thing of all, happily ever after. A perfect combination for any reader of romance. I suggest you pick it up!

Title: Beach Wedding

Author: Bella Cruise

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 Release Date: September 23, 2015

Blurb

Three weeks. One quirky small-town. The wedding of the year. What could go wrong?

Big-city wedding planner Ginny Austen has landed the job of a lifetime. Her new celebrity clients want a smash hit TV wedding, and they’ve got their hearts set on a quirky home-town wedding. Her home-town: Pelican Key Cove, Florida.

Ginny hasn’t been home since she high-tailed out of town the night before her high-school graduation with nothing but a vintage pink Camaro and a broken heart. She’s spent years building a life of her own, but now she’s got just three weeks to face her past and put together a dream wedding — in a town that makes ‘eccentric’ its middle name.

Ginny may be determined to stay professional, but the inhabitants of Pelican Cove have other ideas. And between her crazy aunts, a TV producer who puts Macciaveli to shame, and a downright sexy former flame, nothing about this wedding is going to plan. Can she pull off the big day with her sanity - and heart - intact? Or will her reputation go down in flames -- on national TV?

AUTHOR: Beth Ashworth

RELEASE DATE: September 2015

Lola Hart knew moving to London would be easier said than done … but it was the big dream and enough for her to leave everything else behind. She followed her heart.

Now, twelve months later, she is dangerously living on the verge of bankruptcy, eviction and humiliation. The perfect career in journalism proved to be nothing but a farce, forcing her into freelance reporting. Broke and desperate, Lola’s life quickly spirals out of control. That is, until she happens upon the greatest of opportunities.

Blake Tanner craves a quiet life … a change from his younger years spent recklessly enjoying the illustrious and opulent lifestyle of London’s elite. He has matured somewhat, but is still finding it difficult to shake the image he created.

As one of London’s most eligible bachelors and the future of his family’s multi-million pound company, he is a hot topic and the entertainment industry’s most wanted.

Lola is tasked with revealing the secrets of the elusive Blake Tanner, and she cannot contain her excitement, knowing this sweet exposure could be her big break. She is determined, gutsy, and has nothing to lose ... or so she thinks.

One story could change her.

One story could ruin him.

Beth Ashworth was born in Manchester in 1990, but shortly moved to the modest city of Coventry where she was raised and still resides now.

As an avid reader from a very early age, Beth has always been keen to put her words onto paper. As a child she was always found with either a book in her hand, a pen and notepad or a computer games controller.

Starting off by initially writing alternate endings to her favourite Jacqueline Wilson books from around the age of ten, Beth has continued to grow and love her passion for books.

Eventually, after many unfinished books and short stories, she finally decided to follow her passion and write books that she hopes people will love.

When she isn't reading or writing, Beth loves to spend time with her husband and friends.
