BLURB


Singer Liv Beckman thought she had left the horrors of her childhood behind, taking comfort in the safety of her reclusive existence. But, she thought wrong. When her first kiss walks into the recording studio, those memories and that kiss resurface to send Liv into a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Regrets compete with anger while a smoldering desire to reconnect struggles to crack the protective wall she's built around her heart. 
Liv's reluctance to let it all go won't make it easy for her very determined first crush to gain more than just her signature.
***************
Successful recording artist Neal Hendrix is anxious to sign The Voice to a recording contract, and after six months, he's finally managed to track down the reclusive singer.
The search doesn't take him to a major metropolis or a well-known record label, but to a sleepy, seasonal tourist town in Northern Lower Michigan instead.
Stunned to see his first love again, a cutie he had impulsively kissed back in high school, it takes little for the sparks to reignite -- and then fly between them.
The reluctant beauty has caused him want to behave on impulse -- again, and after eight years of wondering about her, it just seems like a bad idea to let a second chance at love slip away -- again.

BLURB  


A chance encounter at the airport is innocent enough, but it sets in motion a chain of calamitous events that leave photographer, Kaisa Dalen, badly shaken and jet pilot, Perry Lindstrom, reluctantly determined to protect her at all cost.

She believes in fate and that an ancient curse still affects the women in her family, but Liv is determined to find a way to break the spell and finally experience true love without the fear of that love being destroyed by tragedy. 
He believes in vicious cycles but is determined to live a better life than the heartless, cruel one his father and grandfather taught him. Perry refuses to fall under that cyclical spell, so Love was out of the question, but not Women . . . until he sees a pretty lady at the airport, and then his reluctance to love is forced to flee.

Over There! #MFRWauthor Blog Challenge Week 17

Image
Hello, and welcome to another installment of the MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge. This week's question is: The Top Five Places I'd Like to Visit I've included a Linky at the end of this post so you can visit everyone's submission to this week's Hop. I know it sounds ridiculous to say I Love to Travel because, let's be honest, who doesn't? A more accurate or realistic remark might sound more like this: Who Can AFFORD to Travel? Right? Not me! But, dreams are free and here is mine. #5 Crete Home to the Ideon Cave, which was the birthplace of Zeus. But also for the food, the atmosphere, and especially the photo ops standing near all of the white buildings with blue awnings/rooftops/shutters... and with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. I learned in one of my Linguistics classes that there is an island off the coast of Greece where the language is so obscure that even Greeks have trouble understanding it. Fascinating stuff, s...

Korean Drama, Fool's Love - a Review

Image
호구의 사랑 / Hogooeui Sarang AKA: Ho Gu's Love / Fool's Love / Fool for You Genre: Romance, comedy Episodes: 16 Network: tvN Broadcast: 2015-Feb through Mar Synopsis A romantic comedy drama that depicts Kang Ho Goo, who never had a girlfriend and has no dating techniques. He meets his first love -- a member of the national swim team -- Do Do Hee and gets involved in a complicated love/friend relationship. Main Cast UEE as Do Do Hee (A swimmer, Asian Games silver medalist) Choi Woo Shik as Kang Ho Goo (artist, dreamer, lover) This was worth the watch AND the wait for episode uploads. At first, I didn't care for UEE and thought that Ho Goo's twin sister did a better, more believable job portraying the bad-ass, ugly duckling with the opposite attitude. But as the show progressed, I managed to get past UEE's huge eyes and fat cheeks, and that deadpan, I really don't give a shit vibe she carried throughout and started to enjoy her on-screen time ...

The Thought Bubble Never Pops #MFRWauthor

Hello, again. Sorry about missing last week's challenge (Favorite Novel Quotes) AND not being able to read or comment on the posts from the week before! I don't know what happened, but not only couldn't I open the MFRW Author Blog page to find the links, the links refused to appear on my blog, so I had no way of joining the hop and was very upset. Last week's challenge was not something I would have been able to participate in since I'm not one to quote anything... because I can't remember what "I" said ten minutes ago, much less what I read ten years or months or hours ago. MY total recall is along the photographic line; not the literary. My son can watch a movie ONCE and then verbatim quote it for years after, leaving his mother in awe of such a skillful talent! And here's me, trying to remember the movie title and who starred. What I recall most from both books and movies that I truly enjoyed is the setting that evolved in my ...
