Things you should probably know…

1. I’ve had the plague for a week now and my cough is now annoying the dog. I’m pretty sure I’m going to live, but the dog may run away from home.

2. I’ve also had a big-ish work project that I’m trying to finish up…and that requires math, which is hard.

3. I also need to fix a synopsis and come up with a new one this weekend, but what’s really important is…

 I HAVE A NEW BOOK OUT TODAY!!! A Minute on the Lips can be yours at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Harlequin, and…I’ll bring it by your house if you’ll put up the protective cough bubble for me! Here’s the link with all the pertinents. A MINUTE ON THE LIPS.

Santa, Bring My Baby Back (December 17, 2013)

Santa Bring My Baby BackA bride abandoned at the altar . . . just in time for Christmas?

‘Tis the season for second chances at Cheryl Harper’s Elvis-themed Rock’n’Rolla Hotel. After trying and failing at acting, modeling, dog grooming, and a dozen other jobs, Grace Andersen thought for sure she’d nail marrying a rich man. But dumped in a hotel chapel and strapped for cash, Grace needs a miracle—and a job.

If it were up to Charlie McMinn, Grace would be a married lady by now. Officiating weddings in gold lamé and a rock star pompadour may not have been his idea of getting into the holiday spirit, but with a gorgeous bride asking for his help, Charlie doesn’t mind sticking around his mother’s hotel a few more days. Especially if it means getting Grace settled …

Grace isn’t sure what to think of sexy, rugged Charlie, except that she can’t deny the attraction between them, or how good it feels to finally fit in somewhere. Is she ready to give a certain place—and a certain someone—a real chance? Or will she abandon a true Christmas miracle?

REVIEWS

Kay Quintin, Fresh Fiction:

Another installment in the Rock’ n’ Rolla Hotel is just as entertaining and quirky as the others I previously read. The delightful and snappy characters will keep you smiling and fulfill you with a genuine feeling of love and warmth. I absolutely love this series and especially the character Willodean.

Romancing the Readers: “…fun holiday read with wonderful characters.”

New Library Journal Review for Can’t Help Falling in Love!!

Just got this and I love it so much I have to put it up because I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

Can't Help Falling in LoveRanda Whitmore shows up at the Rock’n’Rolla Hotel as a spy for her very successful hotel family. Sent by her father to scope out the competition and take control of a buyout, Randa instead meets hotel manager Tony Ortega. Not a man easily open to women, Tony is a former marine who has overcome his lack of family to build a life at the hotel. Tony immediately knows Randa is not just the Elvis tourist she claims to be, but Tony can’t help but be drawn to the beautiful and fun Randa. Escaping the fierce, ruthless nature of the Whitmore clan, Randa learns to trust her own judgment, as the hotel—and the staff—show her what love and family are really all about. Verdict Harper’s return engagement (after Stuck on You) at the Rock’n’Rolla Hotel, known for the Elvis-themed restaurant and kitschy décor, is another fun story and will definitely leave you wishing for your own pair of blue suede shoes.
