Author Bio:

Award-winning author Tracy March writes romantic thrillers influenced by her career in the pharmaceutical field, and her interest in science and politics. She also writes lighthearted romances inspired by her real-life happily ever after.

Look for Tracy’s contemporary romance series, Suddenly Smitten, including THE PRACTICE PROPOSAL, TEMPTED IN THE TROPICS (both selected by RT Book Reviews as Top Picks), and a third title releasing in Spring 2014. Her romantic thriller, GIRL THREE, is available now, and A SHOT OF RED releases in April 2014.

Always up for travel and adventure, Tracy has flown in a stunt plane, snowmobiled on the Continental Divide, ziplined in the Swiss Alps, and been chased by a bull in the mountains of St. Lucia. She loves Nationals baseball, Saturday date nights, and Dairy Queen Blizzards—and rarely goes a day without Diet Coke and Cheez-Its.

Tracy lives in Yorktown, Virginia, with her superhero husband who works for NASA. They recently spent two years living in Washington D.C., and enjoy visiting often—especially when the Nats are in town.

Book Synopsis:

After fleeing DC following an intense one-night stand that left her reeling, biotech company heiress Mia Moncure has devoted every waking hour to working with a humanitarian aid team in Haiti. When the United States is threatened with a flu epidemic, she is forced to return home to unveil a new vaccine. But when the company’s PR Director dies in a suspicious accident in Switzerland, Mia soon realizes there is a murderer in their midst.

Determined to seek justice and reveal the killer, Mia heads to Switzerland. But she quickly becomes a target when she uncovers a conspiracy to sabotage the vaccine. Desperate for backup, she has no choice but to turn to sexy Gio Lorenzo, the one-night stand she can’t forget. Millions of people are being vaccinated, and Mia and Gio soon discover there’s more than her family’s legacy at stake. While struggling with their stormy relationship, they race to expose the deadly scheme, but it just might be too late.

Tagline: Her only ally is the one man she’s forbidden to love.

Author Bio: 

Almost every author’s bio states they’ve been writing since they learned how to read. It’s what they’ve always wanted to do. Well, my journey wasn’t so straight and narrow. I was a nurse for over twenty years and hold a bachelor’s degree in science with a major in biology. So as you can see, my career path had originally gone in the opposite direction. I didn’t discover my passion for the craft until after I’d had my son and decided to work part-time.

I’ve always loved to read but had never read a paranormal romance. Then one night at work on break, I began reading Karen Marie Moning’s Spell of the Highlander. I couldn’t believe what I’d been missing, and I immediately fell in love with the genre.

I wanted to write like that. I wanted to create worlds where others could find the same escape and fascination I did when I read my first sensual paranormal romance.

And I hope that’s what I’ve accomplished in my work. Please dive in, hold on tight, and enjoy the adventure. Just be careful in the dark—you might find more than you expected waiting for you there.

Jessica Lee lives in the southeastern United States with her husband and son. She loves writing and can’t wait for that quiet time each day when her son is in school, and she can get lost in another place and world with the fantastical, sexy creatures in her head.

She’s a member of Romance Writers of America, FF&P, and Carolina Romance Writers.

Book Synopsis:

Guerino Lombardi’s world just went to shit. Vampire and second in command of the Warriors of the Enclave, he’s put everything on the line to save his best friend from what has to be the worst blow a man can take. Kenric, his friend and master of the Enclave, has a daughter, something believed impossible in the vampire world, and word has it she wants her father and his Enclave dead. Guerin is determined to protect Kenric, keeping the secret from him until he knows for sure if this daughter really exists and if she wants revenge.

Eve Devonshire is a woman hiding in plain sight. Not completely human, but not quite a vampire, she’s accepted by neither race but is more powerful than either one. Her life has consisted of half-truths and disguises, never belonging or living in one place for any length of time. But now some have heard rumors of her existence and want nothing more than to trap her and dissect her like a lab rat.

To stay alive, Eve can’t trust anyone, including the alpha vampire with midnight eyes and a thirst for pain and submission. With her enemies nipping at her heels, Eve has Guerin cornered, and both are determined to get the answers they’re looking for or die trying…if they can fight their desires long enough.

Imprint: Entangled Select

Book Description:

Hairstylist Azalea March is looking forward to a wild weekend in Las Vegas with her friends. Oh, sure, they’re supposed to be there on business, attending the biggest hair show on the west coast, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have a little fun.

But fun quickly turns to drama. On the first morning of the show, Dhane, the biggest celeb of the hair-styling world, is found dead. As it turns out Azalea’s friend, Vivian, not only knew Dhane, but the tale she weaves of how they met is faker than a showgirl’s uh… assets. When Vivian confesses to the murder and is arrested, Azalea knows there’s no way she could have done it and suspects Vivian may be trying to protect someone. But who?

Azalea now has to convince Alex, the sexy detective from her past, to help her prove Vivian’s innocence and comb through clues more twisted than a spiral perm. But the truth is stranger than anything found on the Las Vegas Strip, and proving Vivian’s innocence turns out to be more difficult than transforming a brunette into a blonde.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAAbout Beth Yarnall:

Beth Yarnall writes romantic suspense, mysteries and the occasional hilarious blog post. A storyteller since her playground days, Beth remembers her friends asking her to make up stories of how the person `died’ in the slumber party game Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, so it’s little wonder she prefers writing stories in which people meet unfortunate ends. In middle school she discovered romance novels, which inspired her to write a spoof of soap operas for the school’s newspaper. She hasn’t stopped writing since.

For a number of years, Beth made her living as a hairstylist and makeup artist and co-owned a salon with her very best friend. Somehow hairstylists and salons always seem to find their way into her stories. Beth lives deep in the heart of ‘The O.C.’, California with her husband, two sons, and their dog where she is hard at work on her next novel.

The Practice Proposal

Book Review, The Practice Proposal, Tracy March

Practice Proposal

 

Liza Sutherland had a huge crush on Cole Collins when they were teenagers.  Now he’s a professional baseball player and, thanks to her mother, Liza has won a date with him from a charity auction.  When his agent offers her $500,000 for charity to date Cole, but not fall for him, she reluctantly takes the deal.  After all, she’s still grieving for her fiancé, who died in the line of duty as a Secret Service agent, and she’s definitely not looking to get involved with a womanizer like Cole.  Up for a new contract, Cole’s reputation has taken a bit of a beating with the National’s front office.  His late nights and wild parties don’t set well with the family oriented ball club.  Then his agent suggests using the date with Liza as the chance to improve his rep with a fake relationship with a good girl.  But Cole didn’t plan on Liza being so attractive.  As they spend time together, their feelings start to deepen and they might get more than they bargained for.

I love a good sports romance.  There is just something so appealing about a hottie on the ball field or the race track or the ice … heck, anywhere that he’s buff and sweaty.  The Practice Proposal lives up to my expectations.  Cole is hunky but he’s also troubled and sweet and amusing.  His steadily developing relationship with Liza is fun to watch and, although you know their secrets will come out at the end, they are handled well and are not as big a deal as they could have been.  Although I got a little confused by some of the timing, as it isn’t really that clear on how many, or even if, days pass.  And there are some issues with Cole’s father where the resolution isn’t fully explained.  But most of the book is spent, satisfyingly, on Cole and Liza getting to know each other again and learning to love.  Well, and some fun baseball thrown in to keep things hopping.

The Practice Proposal is a delightful way to get into the baseball spirit, with a little love, a little humor and a lot of fun.
