Disturbing His Peace by Tessa Bailey- Puretextuality Tour

About the book 

She’s got probable cause to make her move . . .

Danika Silva can’t stand Lt. Greer Burns. Her roommate’s older brother may be sexy as hell, but he’s also a cold, unfeeling robot. She just wants to graduate and forget about her scowling superior. But when a dangerous mistake lands Danika on probation—under Greer’s watch—she’s forced to interact with the big, hulking jerk. Call him daily to check in? Done. Ride shotgun in his cruiser every night? Done. Try not to climb into his giant, muscular lap and kiss him? Umm…

Greer doesn’t let anything—or anyone—distract him from the job. Except lately, all he can think about is Danika. He’s wanted the beautiful, cocky recruit since the moment he saw her. But she’s reckless and unpredictable, and Greer is painfully aware of what can happen when an officer doesn’t follow the rules. Probation seemed like a good idea, but now Danika’s scent is in his car and he’s replayed her voicemails twenty times. Christ, he’s a goner.

Danika’s melting Greer’s stone-cold exterior one ride-along at a time. Being together could have sma

And I am thinking . . . 

I am still turning the pages.  I have been delighted with this series since reading Indecent Exposure.   The characters in the series are charming and endearing. 

I was happy to see that in this installment we get to see Danika's 

love story.  I enjoyed her character and looked forward to reading

Disturbing His Peace mainly because I could see how she kind 

of got under Greer's skin.  Poor guy he didn't have a chance. 

I am expecting to finishing reading today. 

I am looking forward to turning the last page and see what/who's story will be next in this series.

The Marmalade Murders-Great Escapes Tour-Review/Giveaway

About the book 

The latest book in an award-winning mystery series, celebrated for its small-town charm and picturesque Welsh setting and starring amateur sleuth Penny Brannigan.

The competition is friendly and just a little fierce at the annual Llanelen agricultural show as town and country folk gather for the outdoor judging of farm animals and indoor judging of cakes, pies, pastries, chutneys, jams and jellies, along with vegetables, fruit and flowers. But this year, there’s a new show category: murder.

Local artist, Spa owner, and amateur sleuth Penny Brannigan agrees to help with the intake of the domestic arts entries and to judge the children’s pet competition on show day. When the president of the Welsh Women’s Guild isn’t on hand to see her granddaughter and pet pug win a prize, the family becomes concerned. When a carrot cake entered in the competition goes missing, something is clearly amiss.

A black Labrador Retriever belonging to the agricultural show’s president discovers the body of the missing woman under the baked goods table. A newcomer to town, a transgender woman, is suspected, but amateur sleuth Penny Brannigan believes her to be innocent. She sets out to find the real killer, but when a second body is discovered days later, the case is thrown into confusion, and Penny knows it’s up to her to figure out what happened—and why.

And others are saying 

If you love a gentle British cozy mystery set in the stunning Welsh country with puzzles and murders and suspects aplenty then this is just the kind of riddle you’ll love!
~CAROLE’S BOOK CORNER

The author has a gift for conveying the beautiful Welsh scenery and making you feel the setting with your senses.
~The Power of Words

The writing is descriptive and beautiful and makes me long for summer days and fall harvest events.
~Laura’s Interests

And I thought 

There were things about this book that I really like.  There were

things that I had to say 'Hmm'. 

I loved and enjoyed the location.  I loved the down home feel of the agriculture show.  Brought back memories for this Texan.  Give me a story with a horse or animal and I am usually drawn in. 

I loved the plot surrounding the show.  

Our main character and her friends are left with no shortage of suspects as they try to figure out who was behind the chaos and 

villainy.  

The story/plot is solid.  The characters all of them are well developed.  

Elizabeth Duncan does a great job of setting a scene and giving this

Texas girl a view of the English country side and it's values, traditions and culture. 

Although The Marmalade Murders is #9 in the series the characters are introduced with enough back story so I was not 

left 'in the dark' or confused. 

If you enjoy cozy mysteries this is one to check out.

THE WORST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN

If asked, Gwendolyn Ballard would admit she co-parented her best friend Chloe's son, Cameron. Now Gwen is all he's got as they flee from the man who murdered his mother. There's only one place Cameron will be safe, and that's with his uncle, Elijah MacElvoy. Arriving on his doorstep at the Broken Arrow Ranch is a desperate decision, and Gwen knows he'd slam the door in her face if she didn't have his nephew with her. But she'll do anything for Cam, even if it means putting up with Elijah's distrust and judgment.

Chloe's dead. Cam's orphaned, and Elijah is confronted with the prospect of living with the one woman who's driven him crazy for the past ten years. He'll fight to keep her safe. That's encoded in his DNA. But can he trust her with a little boy who just lost his mother? As Eli watches how Gwen loves and cares for his nephew, he reevaluates his thinking and gives in to the smoldering attraction he felt the first time he saw her. With so much on the line, Eli comes clean about his past, making way for a future that's all about silver linings.

Enjoy an Excerpt

In the long, drawn-out moment that Eli stared at her, she saw something flicker in his expression. The flint gray eyes she remembered so well seemed to burn over her, his scrutiny like a physical touch. Gwen kept her feet locked to the ground even as the insane urge to turn and run surged through her.

He shifted his gaze to Cameron, then back to her. Cameron’s death grip nearly cut off the circulation in her fingers.

“Gwendolyn.” His deep voice held a timbre that, despite their mutual animosity, had always sent warm shivers down her spine.

“Elijah.” She held her breath as tension swelled, and waited for the door to slam in their faces. He stepped back.

“We can come in?”

With a mocking look, he opened the door wider. She let out her breath in a shaky sigh. Two dogs, the larger a Rottweiler mix, the smaller a fluffy black and white terrier, sat at alert, the terrier all but quivering in excitement. Stepping into the warm house, Gwen felt the fear and panic she’d been carrying ease a fraction, leaving behind an aching exhaustion. For tonight at least, she and Cameron were safe.

The dogs sat with butts planted. Keeping Cameron at her side, she held out a hand to each of them to let them get her scent.

Nerves jumping, Gwen straightened. She hadn’t seen Eli for over five years and the subtle signs of the passing of time were evident. While he still maintained the rangy, lean build he carried on a tall frame, his face showed fine lines fanning out from narrowed eyes. He wore his straight brown hair longer than she remembered, combed back except for where it fell across his forehead.

His bearing, the way he carried himself, made her think of a cowboy sheriff in the old West, tough and unshakable. After the terror of the past days, she needed someone with that unyielding steadfastness on her side. She really hoped that he would be on her side.

She could see the questions in the hooded eyes, but he didn’t ask why she had shown up at his door.

Cameron gave his uncle a cautious look. Eli must have sensed the boy’s reserve, because he crouched down on one knee. Gwen watched, curious as to how he would interact with his nephew.

“Cameron, this big guy is Bubba, and the little one is Oreo.” Eli’s voice was low and calming.

“Oreo?” Cameron leaned down to pet the little dog. “That’s because he’s black and white, right?” Oreo reached out a tongue to lick his hand.

Eli’s features softened fractionally. “Yeah, that’s right.”

Cameron flashed a brief smile, one of the first Gwen had seen in days. Eli rose and led them into the room. The entryway opened to a comfortable living room with a large couch and a recliner that invited curling up with a good book. A fire warmed the room from behind a wrought-iron screen, and a large area rug in front of it covered the knotted-pine floor. Even if Eli wasn’t exactly welcoming, his house felt homey.

“What took you so long to get here?” The abrupt question startled her. He had been expecting them? The idea that he had somehow known she would come to him, had been waiting for her, unsettled her, like there was some unspoken connection between them. And that didn’t bear thinking about.

Willow's Way by Sharon Struth-Goddess Fish Promo-Review

Willow’s Way by Sharon Struth
Publisher: Lyrical Press
Genre: Contemporary, Women’s Fiction
Length: Full (228 pgs)
Heat: Sweet
Rated: 5 stars

About the book 

Willow Armstrong, the once-famous “Queen of Weight Loss” and president of Pound Busters, succumbed to stress eating after her divorce. Now the scandal of getting caught on camera binging on pizza, and the internet-wide mocking of her new curves, may destroy her career. Add in a business advisor who drained her finances, and Willow is out of options—until she learns she’s inherited a house in England’s most picturesque locale, The Cotswolds.

Willow’s trip across the pond to sell the property and salvage her company soon becomes its own adventure: the house, once owned by grandparents she never met, needs major work. Plus, single dad Owen Hughes, the estate’s resident groundskeeper and owner of a local tour outfit, isn’t thrilled about the idea of leaving . . . Yet as Willow proceeds with her plans, she’s sidetracked by surprising discoveries about her family’s history–and with Owen’s help, the area’s distinctive attractions. Soon, she’s even retracing her roots—and testing h er endurance—amid the region’s natural beauty. And the more she delves into the past, the more clearly she sees herself, her future, and the way home . . .

And I thought

Long and short.  I loved this read.  

Willow is delightful.  Even though she is caught up in a 'bit' of a Scandal she rises up and follows her heritage to start a new life 

in England.

Willow's Way is well written and invites the reader to have a nice little few hours of pleasure.  This is one to pour a glass of wine and plan to while away the hours. 

A heartwarming story set in England is intriguing to the readers from the other side of the pond. 

A sweet love story that is a good clean read for anyone.  

Grandma wouldn't blush and actually might like it!

I look forward to more from Sharon Struth. 

I received a complimentary copy.

Murder at the Mushroom Festival by Janet Finsilver-Great Escapes Tour/Giveaway

About the book 

Redwood Cove Bed and Breakfast manager Kelly Jackson is hosting a cooking class during the Week of the Mushroom festival to attract guests, not drama. But soon after she finishes foraging for an edible mushroom species on sacred Native American land, a local newspaper reporter gets shot dead at the same site. With suspicions spreading like fungi in the quaint Northern Californian community over the culprit’s identity, Kelly and a savvy gang of sleuthing seniors known as the “Silver Sentinels” must uncover the truth about the secluded property before a tricky killer prepares another lethal surprise . . .

And others are saying 

The author has given readers a solid mystery with plenty of twists. . . Readers like me will figure it out right before Kelly has her “aha moment”. Thankfully the woman can think on her feet.
~Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book

What a cute new addition to this wonderful series.
~Books a Plenty Book Reviews

 Interview with the author

Welcome, Janet!

Congratulations on the new book!  The series sounds like such fun.  I can’t wait to get into Murder At The Mushroom Festival!

I am so glad you chose to tour with Lori at Great Escapes Tours!

What is your favorite part of the tour? (reviews, interviews, guest posts)

 I enjoy them all. The reviews help me see what stands out to readers. The interviews often lead to insights about my characters and myself. I did a couple of guest posts for Murder at the Mushroom Festival. I enjoyed reflecting on what I learned while writing the book as well as remembering how much fun I had at the Mendocino County Mushroom, Beer, and Wine Fest.

I love to interview the authors but lately I am enjoying guest posts.  I think I would have loved interviewing Kelly or have her visit for a guest post!

Thanks!

 Before we get into the new book I have a few fun questions.  At least I hope they are fun!

 The first because we have some similar hobbies I have to ask…

English or Western?  Bay or Color?  Mare or Gelding?

Here’s my answers  Western, Paint or Dun.  Gelding.

 I see you know your horse colors! I ride Western. I love both paints and duns. Buckskins are also another favorite of mine. I’ve owned a gelding and a mare.

Do you have any pets that hang around and help you when you write? 

It’s interesting you should ask that. There are two dogs in the family. Ellie is a rescue boxer/coonhound mix. We love each other, but she worships my husband. Kylie, our young Rhodesian ridgeback, is more mine. Most of my books have been written in a loft with a ladder for access. No pets there. We recently did a remodel and a small room was created downstairs. I look forward to having the dogs join me there in the summer. I started taking Kylie down there this fall when I began writing book five. She immediately settled in on a bed I have down there. After only a few times, she’d jump up when I headed for the back door with my computer case over my shoulder. It’s been fun to have her there.

Which is more intriguing as a place to write.  A private island?  A cabin in the woods?

The busy city?    Have you ever written in any of these places?

I’d go for the cabin in the woods. I love nature. I haven’t done that yet, but maybe my husband and I will discuss it for a future vacation.

And one last one and we’ll get into the book.  So you’ve finished a long

exhausting productive day of writing and now it’s to relax with ____________.

Twitter. It’s hard to believe I’m saying that, but it’s true. I love the animal pictures. I almost always have a “laugh out loud” experience. I have my account set to screen any images I might find uncomfortable. I follow really fun groups.

Can you tell us about the location and how you chose it?

 My series takes place in fictitious Redwood Cove, California, based on Mendocino, California, a popular tourist destination. It’s in the northern part of the state on the coast. There are magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean and forests of towering redwood trees. The town has worked hard to preserve its past and many buildings are from the 1800s. Boardwalks take the place of sidewalks in many places. The view of Cabot Cove at the beginning of Murder She Wrote was really Mendocino. I chose it for its beauty and the many unique aspects of the area.

Do you have a favorite book/plot from the series?  I love the idea of all the festivals and all the doggie characters that appear in each book.  Without hurting any feelings can you tell me if you have a

favorite?

There really is no favorite. I have favorite scenes in each book. All of the festivals are based on real ones, and each one has its own distinct character.

If you were to have dinner with one of your characters who would choose?

What would you eat?  What would you drink?  What would you talk about?

 I love all of my crime-solving senior citizens, the Silver Sentinels, but I’d probably have dinner with Kelly. We have a lot in common. I’d have chicken or shrimp with a nice local sauvignon blanc. We’d talk about horses, dogs, and what is was like for her growing up on a ranch.

I love the cover.  I was wondering how much input you have in the

cover design.  I admit I am a bit of a cover junkie I am always curious!

 I’m asked for ideas. I don’t have any “final say.” For Murder at the Mushroom Festival I provided photos of a goldendoodle and mushroom baskets. My editor thanked me.

Can you give us a sneak peek into the next book? 

Rudy and Ivan Doblinsky, two of the Silver Sentinels, will have their past revealed, and readers will learn how they came to be in the United States. You’ll “see” a dagger with a handle studded with jewels. A Russian heritage festival provides the event for the book and includes Cossacks and their horses. There’s a lot of baklava as well!

I have really enjoyed chatting.  I hope you’ll come back to visit 

And I thought

I jumped into this series at book 4 and that was A o.k! Although I 

really enjoyed the characters and need to go back and read the rest just because I want to!

My head was spinning though not in a bad way with all the villainous crimes!  Murder, theft, blackmail, the Indian land being 

dishonored and just a few threats thrown in to make everyone a 

little nervous.

The road is twisty and curving and will keep you a bit on the edge of your seat with all the action and mystery. 

I enjoyed meeting all the sleuthing seniors that help Kelly by snooping and solving the crime to clear her friends name.  

The addition of all the animals to the story made it especially fun for me!  

If you love cozy mysteries that have some great animal characters 

you'll enjoy this series. 

And one of my favorite parts was the cover.  I would pick this 

one up for sure and check it out.  I'd read the back and then Buy It!

I do have to say I was a little disappointed there was one of the 

animal characters that sadly missed being on the cover!

I am looking forward to reading much more!

I received a complimentary copy.

The crayon moved down the page. Red, livid, ready. Spread on the table, splayed like a sacrifice, was the Classifieds section of the New Zealand Herald. He could’ve found the information faster online, but the risk of leaving an electronic trail made him turn to the old fashioned, the tactile, the untraceable.

The scent of fake wax from the crayon mingled with the fresh ink of the newspaper. He paged to the adverts in the Adult Entertainment column.

Bored? Lonely? Looking for a good time?

No, that wasn’t it.

Fat? So what?

He raised his eyebrows, continued his search. Suddenly, the red crayon halted.

A gentle massage using modern or ancient Eastern techniques.

Leaves you invigorated and stress-free. For appointments, phone...

Unconventional. Not into rules. Yes, this one had potential. The crayon swooped, trailed a jagged red oval around the ad.

“Honey? Are you coming to bed?”

The voice wafted down the stairwell. He closed the newspaper, careful to line up its edges and smooth out its spine.

“In a minute.”

He read the advert again. His blood raced. The addiction simmered inside him. Excited. Expectant.

Yes.

Definite potential.

~Texas Book-aholic

Chicken Culprit is uniquely different from other cozy mysteries that I’ve read and I love Vikki Walton’s fresh voice and style.
~The Power of Words

Moving to a new neighborhood can be murder!
From the moment Anne meets her new neighbors, things get very interesting.
~Laura’s Interests

This was a solid mystery with a likable and slightly older than usual main character and a fun new setting. This is a book I really enjoyed and a series I’m looking forward to continuing.
~I Wish I Lived In a Library

The writing style flows smoothly and the book is an easy read. The author defined all of the characters very clearly by their actions and words. I was drawn into the book from the very beginning and I was pulled along at a nice pace.
~MJB Reviewers

I enjoyed the backyard farming theme of Chicken Culprit. It makes me wish I could try my hand at it if I had the space.
~Jane Reads

Walton’s smooth and casual writing style really makes you feel a part of this community.
~That’s What She’s Reading

The mystery is a tough one. I usually spot a few breadcrumbs but didn’t catch one this time. When the author finally reveals what happened, I was caught completely by surprise. Never saw it coming.

And I thought

It's always fun to get in at the beginning of a new series.

Chicken Cuprit was a fun and pretty fast paced read.

Right off Anne meet 2 of her neighbors that are arguing over a chicken that's gone astray and Anne ends up falling into a compost pile! 

This is just the beginning of  a fun and funny ride.

I was turning the pages and laughing and wondering just who the 

heck did in poor Ralph. 

I was surprised at the ending.  

This was a good new series to start and I am looking forward to reading more!

Nun After The Other by Alice Loweecey-Great Escapes Tour-Spotllight

Nun After The Other (A Giulia Driscoll Mystery)
Cozy Mystery

Henery Press (April 17, 2018)
Paperback: 268 pages
ISBN-13: 978-1635113266
Digital ASIN: B079H34FXV

About the book 

Nuns and murder and ghosts, oh my! Here comes Giulia Driscoll again, and boy, is she in for it this time.

It starts when a frenzied Chihuahua leads Giulia and Frank Driscoll to the body of a nun in the street near a convent. The nuns fear they’re being harassed by the biggest developer in town and quickly embrace Giulia as their savior.

Of course the former nun who exposed the drug ring run by a priest and nun will save their home and discover the murderer.

And of course not only Giulia takes this job, but also all the other jobs clamoring for her attention. The result: Driscoll Investigations is pushed to its limit.

Then Giulia’s brother falls into a coma and she brings his kids to her house. Talk about a crash course in parenting for pregnant Giulia!

Did we mention the convent ghost? She loves the house, hates the nuns, and chain-smokes. Why couldn’t Giulia’s first honest-to-goodness ghost be shy and sweet?

More important, does the ghost hate the nuns—or the developer—enough to indulge in a bit of murder to liven up the afterlife?

And others are saying 

While I am not Catholic and was spared a religious school upbringing, these tough-talking nuns did intimidate me.

Author Alice Loweecey writes a mystery like no other. There is a unique flair to her storytelling that draws the reader in quickly and keeps us ensnared until the book is finished.

This was a delightful page-turner. Giulia is a fun sleuthing friend that readers will fall into step with. This was one of the best books from Henry Press, and after you read this, you and the ghosts will be begging for more.

This book had me laughing over and over again… Add the intriguing group of older nuns to the mix as well as a ghost with some skills and you get a cozy mystery that will keep you amused and hooked all at the same time.

The “Guilia Driscoll Mysteries” (my aka “The Nun Books”) are a charm-filled set of thrilling cozy mysteries. Ms. Loweecey deftly shows that life and death can both be adventures – no matter which side of the veil one is on.

And I thought
I love book covers.  Especially when they cleverly  give insight into the story without giving anything away.  
The little nun mobile is just comical to me and draws me into what is waiting inside. 

As I turn the pages I am not disappointed.  This is only the second book that I have read in the series. 

I am charmed by these characters.

Giulia can at times be hilarious and then serious when she needs to be.  I enjoy her character and her reluctance to chase ghosts but she steps up to the plate to solve the mysteries.  

The nuns living in the convent are engaging and funny as they each have their different reactions to the ghost that is living in their midst.  

I especially liked the part when older nun called out the camera man. "The Scoop"  can sometimes be a thorn in Giada's side but ultimately he really ends up helping solve the mysteries.  

Our ghost in residence is hilarious disrupting the nuns and trying to thwart the sale of the house.   

I enjoyed reading book 5 better than book 4 making me want to go back and read all the rest.  But I wanted to do that before. 

This is a great series that will keep drawing you in and making you 
want to read more.  

I received a complimentary copy.
