Some lucky women  meet the man of their dreams and live happily ever after. Some lucky women focus on a career and make their own happily ever after. And then some women wake up after fifteen years of marriage and discover that their luck just ran out ... right into the arms of another woman. Jana Embers isn't one to sit back, though. The first thing Jana realizes she needs to do is empty the joint bank account, then she's thinking she might take a tire iron to her soon-to-be-ex-husband's truck. After that, she's not sure what she'll do ...  Maybe she'll adopt a cat . After Jana Embers divorces her unfaithful husband and quits dating the male species altogether, she decides that a career in writing, learning to whitewater kayak, and adopting a persnickety calico will keep her plenty busy during the day. And a perfectly sized and shaped device will keep her satisfied at night. But when she injures her shoulder and cannot write, she needs the help of Dr....

No...I haven't read  Fifty Shades of  Grey ... not even the sample, but... Before you think that I'm a prude, hang in there with me ... you might agree. The thing is...I  have no trouble with the book  Fifty Shades of  Grey --or most erotic books for that matter. In fact, it shocked one of my writing communities when I--a Christian--disagreed with Smashwords attempt to censor books. See ... the way I see it, if we start censoring books, eventually they'll start censoring everything. And who draws that line? Some people have even accused me of writing  Mommy Porn . I assure you, I don't, though. But that's the point. Someone will always have their clean monitor set higher or lower, so who knows where that fence is. I do, however, think anything regarding underage children or abuse against beings that cannot defend themselves, should be censored, because one, it's vile, and two, it's an illegal act. T wo consenting adults, though... I just don...

Skipping over my boring routine from five am to eight am, I want to share what I do between eight and ten, and a little thing about books I noticed today... At eight am, I decide which books I will promote for other authors. If you didn't know, I love to help out my fellow authors--and myself naturally--by promoting books on GreatBooksGreatDeals.com Well, today, I happened to be reading a two-star review of a book, about the fact that there wasn't enough angst ... and that she gave up less than half the way... Ummm ... can anyone say climax? Oh well, I understand ... sort of. If a book doesn't hold my attention, I give up. But ... that doesn't mean I need fireworks. Call me old-fashioned, but I love the slow burn of a relationship ... or sometimes just getting to know the character. If getting to know them keeps my interest, I don't need fireworks and car chases. I enjoy the ride. Of course, there's always a climax, but unlike so many new novels ...

Physical therapist Nancy Anne Robertson has her sights set on her dream promotion. Problem #1: she’s engaged to one of her patients, and if her secret gets out, she’ll lose her job. Problem #2: her ex-fiancé is back in town, shooting for the same promotion. Complicating matters are two mothers (and one fiancé) with alarming secrets, an autistic brother with a penchant for wandering off at the most inconvenient times, and four rings—the fake diamond kind, the stolen kind, the sticky wax kind that belongs under a toilet . . . and maybe, just maybe, the kind meant to make a girl say,  I do .
