I am a cover girl and when I saw the cover for Saving Grace by Pamela Fagan Hutchins, I had to have it. I love anything to do with water and this one is a beauty. What do you think?

MY REVIEW
I love the cover and the location, the Virgin Islands, for Pamela Fagan Hutchins’ Saving Grace. It was all I hoped it would be.
I was relating to Katie quickly, wrapping her napkin neatly around her beer, playing pool and winning, but that’s where the similarities ended. I don’t drink and text and neither should she. I find it terrible that a lawyer would act like she did, especially in a room with all her coworkers. She acts like an obsessively love struck teenager.
The beginning is abrupt and I was thrown right into the story and I don’t much like Katie right now. But, let’s see if there is a reason for her being so out of control and sophomoric.
The name dropping got a bit annoying…Dennis the Menace, Bon Jovi, Direct TV, iPhone, Ihop, Hooters, Vaio, Dell, Blackberry…you get the drift.
An intervention sent her to St Marcos in her quest to solve the mystery of her parents death and get her act together. Enter Ava, who in her way introduced Katie to Annalise, Hebrew for Grace, an abandoned mansion that spoke to Katie. Now Pamela has my attention! Who…or what… is really doing the talking?
Katie loved walking on the beach and it cleared her mind. Now, we’re getting together.
Oh man, guess it had to happen, but I’m disappointed how her trip ended. I have a feeling that will change. It was just getting good for me, but I feel there is a lot more to come.
When the news came over the phone after one of the worst days of her life, I got super excited too. My heart beat faster, a smile came to my face, and I began racing through the pages. Oh yeah, now we’re cooking with Caribbean heat.
She got a pick up with a lift kit and cruised off to her new life. I want to be there!! I love to bury my feet in the sand and I have enjoyed a PainKiller or two.
I’m afraid for her and her friends. In the islands anything can happen. The suspense is mounting, the tension building. I can feel it. I see it coming. Does she?
I didn’t like Katie’s whining and sniveling for the longest time, but her growth and development, her willingness to see herself as she really was and make changes, made me like her more and more.
Now…after thinking I wasn’t going to like this so much…I find myself hating for it to end and wanting more.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Saving Grace by Pamela Fagan Hutchins.

Katie Connell is a high-strung attorney whose sloppy drinking habits and stunted love life collide hilariously in a doomed celebrity case in Dallas. When she flees Texas for the Caribbean, Katie escapes professional humiliation, a broken heart, and a wicked Bloody Mary habit, but she trades one set of problems for another when she begins to investigate the suspicious deaths of her parents on the island of St. Marcos. She’s bewitched by the voodoo spirit of an abandoned house in the rainforest and discovers that she’s as much a danger to herself as the island’s bad guys are. As the worst of her worlds collide, Katie drags herself back to the courthouse to defend her new friend Ava, an island local accused of stabbing the senator she’s been sleeping with.
Pamela Fagan Hutchins, a former attorney and native Texan, lived in the U.S. Virgin Islands for nearly ten years. She refuses to admit to taking notes for this novel during that time.

Aerosmith Meet Chrys Fey in 30 Seconds & 30 Seconds Before @ChrysFey @Aerosmith

Chrys Fey sure can write and I am happy to share 30 Seconds & 30 Seconds Before.
MY REVIEW
This may be short, but it is packed with action and danger.
Uh oh.
The streets of Cleveland are way too quiet, as Officers Blake and Max patrol the streets. All my senses are on high alert.
Then…all hell breaks loose. Officers are down and it is a blood bath.
Blake may have volunteered for a suicide mission, but he had no doubt it was the right thing to do. Imagine, working undercover work with the most dangerous man in the city, then going to your day job as a cop, knowing they want you dead. What if you are found out?
OMG, Chrys. WTF…a cliffhanger. I was already barely hanging on, but now, only one hand is left and I feel it slipping…
Good thing I can fall right into 30 Seconds…

Blake Herro is a cop in the Cleveland Police Force. Ever since he was a child he wanted to do right by the city he loved by cleaning up the streets and protecting its citizens. Red, a notorious mobster, has other plans.
On a bitter December night, ten police officers are drawn into a trap and killed by Red’s followers. Blake wants to bring down the Mob to avenge his fallen brothers and to prevent other cops from being murdered. Except the only way he can do that is by infiltrating the Mob.
Every minute he’s with these mobsters he’s in danger. Around every corner lies the threat of coming face to face with a gun. Will he make it out of the Mob alive or will he be their next victim?
MY REVIEW
Terror, being chased, running, hiding the beginning.
Dani Hart literally bumped into Blake and her life took a turn…for the worse or for the better? You decide.
Their pasts had shaped their future and fate had brought them together.
Even as evil tears the place apart all around Dani, Chrys manages to slip a little humor into the story.
She makes a stupid mistake answering a call, and, well…
Dani is so darn cute, but fierce too.
I love that Blake is always cooking, so maybe the way to a woman’s heart is through her stomach.
And, of course, sometimes a situation calls for a snowball fight. Such a simple pleasure.
“It took me 30 seconds to fall in love with you…”
Fear of death = instalove
The suspense grows and the pace is smooth…until, well, you will need to find out for yourself.

*30 Seconds is a novella.*
When Officer Blake Herro agreed to go undercover in the Mob, he thought he understood the risks. But he’s made mistakes and now an innocent woman has become their target. He’s determined to protect her at all costs.
The Mob’s death threat turns Dr. Dani Hart’s life upside down, but there is one danger she doesn’t anticipate. As she’s dodging bullets, she’s falling in love with Blake. With danger all around them, will she and Blake survive and have a happy ending, or will the Mob make good on their threat?
