A Random Renewal: Amber Town #5 by Josephine Barly (Amazon Digital Services) (2 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

Lily Lloyd loves her life. She loves Jesse, she loves her sisters, she loves her best friend and she loves Amber Town. She's enchanted and enthralled with everything, and when her childhood friend Devin Cohen moves back, there is an instant connection that is made. But assumptions lead to confusion and hesitations, and while both are interested and quite taken with the other, there are lingering questions that need to be made to clear what misconceptions have been formed so that they can see if they can actually get a chance to rekindle their friendship, and then some. Warning: There are explicit romantic scenes. For mature audiences (+18). -------------- Excerpt Amber Town had a pretty self-explanatory name. It was located almost an hour away south of Phoenix, Arizona, and the reigning color was amber. It was an arid place that had few trees scattered throughout, as the scorching climate wasn't the best. Amber Town had a population of 11,000, give or take a few, and one of them was Lily Lloyd. As usual, she had a lively smile that reached her dark blue eyes as she rode her light blue bicycle across Amber Town. It being mid-April, Monday, mid-morning, sunny and with a comfy temperature that was around the high seventies, Lily opted for her bike instead of her truck. She sang what she thought were the right lyrics of a classic pop song and smiled at the people she knew as she rode past them, happy to be heading out to meet a potential new client. Lily painted houses for a living, and she quite enjoyed it. For a twenty-eight-year-old, she was quite pleased with her life. She felt a bit of a flutter in her stomach, as she was heading towards her elementary school friend's house. Devin Cohen. Of course, she had no idea if he'd be there, but the Cohens had moved to Australia when Lily and Devin had finished sixth grade, and she was delighted at the prospect of seeing him and his sisters again. Their house in Amber Town had been rented out during the past ...

Patrick knew from the moment he climbed out of his car and heard the music blasting from the back of the cabin what he would find... his sister was painting. And considering her choice of music, there was every possibility that what filled her canvas wasn't meant to soothe the soul. Claire Andersen Slavik was exactly where she needed to be. The last couple of years had been good ones even if at times filled with difficult moments. She had moved in with her mother when it was obvious she was needed.

Claire was determined to take this time like a stolen moment to come to grips with the change in her life that the loss of her mother had made. It didn't matter that her kids called almost every day. She understood. But she needed this time away. The quiet and the peace that this little heaven on earth allowed her... and at the same time forced her to face this new void in her life honestly.

Need You Now by Ali Parker (BrixBaxter Publishing) (400 Reviews)    Price verified 9 minutes ago

The most beautiful girl in the world, and she's fiery mad at me. It's not really my fault. I'm a reporter. Digging up stories is my job. Never in a million years did I expect my latest piece to create an enemy out of the one woman I'd give anything to date. She's tough, beautiful, and tied to my past in a way I didn't imagine possible. The world should know that she's also generous, the center of a big story on a large donation to the town festival in her dad's name. But she's not interested in the limelight or attention. She wants to take care of the animals in her care and give back any chance she can. I, on the other hand, want a chance at love. And there's not much I won't do to make that happen. She might be appeasing me to keep her story safe, but I'm on the hunt for far more than a headline. I need her now. Today. Tomorrow. Forever.
