World-renowned singer Aubrey Gray is finally free after spending the last seven years earning money to pay for her sister’s hospital bills. When she announces her early retirement and leaves Los Angeles in the rearview, she expects some fans will be disappointed. She can handle that. What she isn’t sure how to handle is the unexpected onslaught of hateful comments, death threats, and the decapitated teddy bear sitting innocuously on her dining room table.

As her dream of freedom devolves into a nightmare, Aubrey reluctantly acknowledges she may need help. Unfortunately, her best chance for survival rests with stubborn, overprotective celebrity bodyguard Noah Hawthorne who is one big-name client away from securing a prosperous future for his company–and his team.

As their strictly business relationship blooms into a full-fledged romance, Aubrey and Noah are tested when a series of horrific events begins to unfold. Will Noah be able to protect Aubrey or will the stalker waiting in the wings outsmart them both?

Isolated on the moon and yearning for the warmth of connection, a young Kaguya-hime falls to the mortal realm. While unknowingly sealing away her divine identity, she begins living as the mortal Yuki. But the mortal realm isn’t as charming as it seems…

Years later, after being banished from the imperial city of Gobe, Yuki returns on the emperor’s request with the hopes of restoring her family’s dojo. But when Yuki’s dreams are seemingly dashed after tragedy strikes, she is forced to face the unsettling truth behind her banishment.

On the verge of death, Yuki’s life becomes intertwined with the dragon god, Ryu, and together they must fight to save the mortal realm from Izanami, the ruler of the land of the dead. Caught between living as a mortal or a goddess, Yuki must fight to write her own mythology before the gods do it for her.

Woven Song weaves Asian mythology into an epic tale of love and loss, of loyalty and betrayal — where love is as soft as a lullaby, secrets are currency for the wicked, and every friend might be a foe.

Blog Blitz: Far From Home – T.A. Williams

ramblingmads


The secrets of the past will unlock her future…

Working in the fast-paced foreign exchange market in Canary Wharf, Amy never expected her job to drive her to collapse. With her doctor advising she take a month off work, when Amy receives a
solicitor’s letter informing her of a surprise inheritance in Italy, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.
But who on earth has left her a house in the sleepy Tuscan hills?

As she gets to know the town and its inhabitants, Amy discovers more about the mysterious man who named her in his will. Shocking family secrets come to light, leaving Amy questioning the life she knew.

The town of Sant’Antonio holds more than just secrets. Here, Amy meets Adam, a renowned TV journalist whose documentaries take him to dangerous places. But as their attraction grows, so do
Amy’s worries. Her life is in England, while Adam’s is untethered and under constant threat…

An emotional, heartwarming love story full of family drama and quirky locals.

Purchase 


I’m a man. And a pretty old man as well. I did languages at university a long time ago
and then lived and worked in France and Switzerland before going to Italy for seven years as a teacher of English. My Italian wife and I then came back to the UK with our little daughter (now long-since grown up) where I ran a big English language school for many years. We now live in a sleepy little village in Devonshire.

I’ve been writing almost all my life but it was only ten years ago that I finally managed to find a publisher who liked my work enough to offer me my first contract.
The fact that I am now writing escapist romance is something I still find hard to explain. My early books were thrillers and historical novels and I now also write cozy crime, but my first love has always been romance. Maybe it’s because there are so many horrible things happening in the world today that I feel I need to do my best to provide something to cheer my readers up. My books provide escapism to some gorgeous locations and descriptions of food to make you drool.

Website Twitter Facebook

My thoughts: I always enjoy this author’s books, and they always make me a) hungry and b) want a Labrador.

This book is no exception, there’s two delightful Labs in this book, Max and Coco, and lots of delicious Italian food. As Amy looks into who left her a beautiful, if somewhat dilapidated house in the Tuscan town of Sant’Antonio, near Pisa.

As she learns more about this mysterious legacy and gets the house remodelled, with a very useful plumber, builder and electrician. It helps she speaks fluent Italian as her mother and grandparents came from the country.

While there, she makes lots of friends, including the delightful Labrador, Max, and his sister Coco, and meets some ex pats, including handsome Canadian filmmaker Adam. Unfortunately just as things are beginning, he has to travel to Brazil to make a documentary. Then he goes missing.

Amy is torn between staying in Italy, in the house she’s had renovated, surrounded by her new friends, or returning to her life, and job, in London. Now I know what I would choose, if I was in Amy’s shoes.

This was a really enjoyable story and I loved how Amy found friendship, family and happiness in beautiful Italy, how all sorts of secrets came out and how sweet her relationship with Adam (and more importantly Max) developed. Truly delightful read, enjoy with your favourite tipple or a mug of tea! And snacks, you will need snacks.

She and mainly her powers are wanted by the Priestesses of Meiji. Eliza has been given a choice, one where her life trajectory would change drastically.

While on the other hand, there is him and what life could be like with her mate. What will her choice lead her to? And will she quell her insatiable affliction, whatever that means for her?

Gareth was born to lead, to protect the elemental powers and dragons, while also holding the hopes and dreams of a growing nation on his shoulders. He’s aware of his imperfections and deficiencies, but is he willing to put her through them?
