This is a post that I will place on all three of my websites for it’s the same message to my various readers and visitors to Keeper Bookshelf or Shifter Haven or Happily Ever After Romance. All are owned and created by the same person — Me.
As another year comes to a close we often reflect back… but I’m going to go only about 10 days that have changed so much about my life in ways that I’ll be discovering in the coming weeks. I’m careful of what I share personally online but this is a message that I feel is important and might help someone else.
Last week I had a fall, I wasn’t badly injured but looking back that was a defining event. Recently I was admitted to the hospital with bilateral pneumonia and it was discovered at that time that I was dealing with some heart issues as well. At my age, beyond retirement, that’s not something you really want to hear – but it was pretty loud and clear that I needed to pay attention to my own health. Which I will be doing intensely over the next few weeks. I’m not done with this life yet so I’m going to take the steps needed to ensure that I wake up every morning for as long as possible.
In light of this, I’m going to be cutting back a bit on the number of books I’m reading and reviewing for these websites. To authors that I’ve promised reviews, they will still be delivered the timing will be off, but I’m not going back on my word. My life, my health is worth the investment of time to take care of it – and if that isn’t understood, well then, I don’t know what else to say.
I will always love Romance Novels across so many genres… but right now I have to be realistic about what my personal future may hold. I’m far from done reading and reviewing what I love, I just may do it less often for a hopefully small period of time. 🙂

However, the poison slowly consuming her from her pack’s sick alpha has her wolf spinning out of control, making her search for him challenging. That is until she stumbles upon Samuel, a handsome tattooed guy who calms her wolf unlike anything ever has.
As tensions between their packs grow, and the poison flowing through Arabella builds, both know something needs to give before things reach the point of no return for them all.

When I said I needed a midlife reboot, growing pumpkins in a town full of bear people wasn’t what I had in mind. Neither was falling for one of them.
I should’ve been more specific when I asked the universe for a change
Because here I am at 44, left with my late aunt’s rundown farmhouse
And a pumpkin patch I know jack about running.
But hey, at least it came with a view.
My hot new neighbor stepped out of the shower in plain sight,
Giving me a very warm welcome to the neighborhood.
Turns out Duke’s not only a hunky cop but the chief of police.
When I run into him at a Halloween party in town,
There’s no disguising the raw desire between us.
And for a woman who’d never seen herself with kids,
His three little ones burrowed their way into my heart.
But not everyone in town is as welcoming as the McMillans.
Hillbillies are trying to intimidate me into selling my land,
And when they realize I won’t budge, all hell breaks loose.
Now I’m uncovering dark secrets that should’ve remained hidden,
And Duke swears he’ll stop at nothing to protect me.
But I’ll soon discover Duke and his kids have a secret of their own.

He’s not good for me.
I know he’s not good for me. I’ve been warned by my best friend that his intentions are malicious, that he’s far too possessive and controlling. But what if that’s something that I like? What if that’s something that I want?
The mysterious doctor doesn’t reveal his secrets to me. Instead, he lures me into the darkness where he takes me over, using his hands to mark what’s rightfully his. I belong to him in every way, I can’t deny that. Yet I also can’t deny how hard it is to accept the danger that comes with him.
He’s running from his past. He’s trying to outlive the peril he has encountered. The more he tries to hide that from me, the more I want to help. I told him I’m his little girl and I mean it. Little girls can be just as fierce as their Daddies. I’m more than capable of fighting back.
And I’ll defend my Daddy with my life.
Titles in the Shifter Doctor Daddies Instalove Romance series include — Damaged Dragon’s Forbidden Love —¤— Daring Dragon’s Dirty Secret —¤— Undercover Wolf’s Great Loss —¤— Tortured Panther’s One Night Mate —¤— Demanding Tiger Daddy —¤—

Life got hectic and chaotic around here in the past few months. I didn’t get as much reading in as I wanted, pleasure reading that is, too many commitment reviews due and the craziness that is often my life as well.
But how in the blue blazes did I miss reading the entire Wolves of Promise Falls series? I bought each and every one of the books, soon after release – and I imagine with the intention of starting it when I “had time”. But, seriously, girl… this is unacceptable. Especially since I just completed Zombie Wolf of Piston which began the Wolves of Piston series. Throughout Reaper’s story, I felt like I was missing something but set that feeling aside as I got deeper into his fascinating story.
Now I understand that feeling – and am I ever feeling rather foolish right now? Yes, yes, I am. So. I have a choice, publish my review for Zombie Wolf of Piston which was recently released – or stay true to my reading style and go back to the previous connecting series?
I think I have to publish Reaper’s story review. I have to. Because I understand the importance of timely reviews to authors. And I love T. S. Joyce and the (interconnecting) worlds she creates. But I am so annoyed at myself right now. *sigh*

I loved uncovering secrets – it’s what I did for a living.
But little did I know that I’d discover the biggest secret about the man I’m in love with.
It started off terribly with Adam.
After my beloved uncle’s death, I had to move to the small town of Pleasant Valley. As it turned out, Adam was the chief editor of the newspaper I’d inherited. I hated him – a fight was inevitable.
But I had bigger problems in my life than hating on a man that I was insanely attracted to.
I’d exposed a bunch of bad men at my previous job, which meant that I was in danger — a crazy amount of danger. Adam was the only one I could turn to. He vowed to keep me safe, to save my life no matter what.
But in the process, I would have to endure the truth about who he really was. And solve another mystery about my uncle’s death. Was I ready for it all?
