If you love romance you will want to listen up today. Kenadee Bryant is bringing the HEAT with a hockey romance and we are here for it.

Author bio: Kenadee Bryant is a new adult author of steamy romance, and currently lives in Nevada with her two dogs and cat. When not writing, you can find her reading, playing board games, or eating peanut butter cups. Alongside writing, Kenadee would love to one day open an animal sanctuary.


Book blurb: Josie Scott swore off men after one too many heartbreaks, perfectly content with her camera, her career, and a nice bottle of red wine. But when a broken elevator traps her with Toronto's hottest hockey player, Wyatt Boone, what starts as a little flirtation turns into a steamy romance.

Wyatt Boone is left doubting his future on the team after a season-ending injury and the pressure to win another Cup Championship bigger than ever. Being a star hockey player isn't as glamorous as it seems with constant paparazzi and women seeking fame, so meeting Josie Scott in the broken elevator might just be the unexpected twist he needs.

With the media and fame threatening their relationship, Josie and Wyatt have to decide what's worse: their fear of falling for each other or letting outside forces tear them apart.

Elizabeth Bright is a writer, lawyer, and mother living in Washington, D.C. Her debut historical romance, Twice As Wicked, was published October 2017 with Entangled Publishing. Stay tuned for more of the Wicked Secrets Series!

Elizabeth loves large dogs and large coffees. She is an avid outdoor enthusiast, and when she’s not writing, lawyering, or mothering, she can be found as high in the mountains as she can get. She firmly believes that love is the greatest adventure of all, but rock climbing is a close second.

Her newest book is out NOW: Cowboy in The Streets

Working as the head trainer at Lodestar Ranch is my chance to prove I have what it takes as a woman in a man's world. The only problem? My boss is the world’s grumpiest cowboy…and I can’t keep my eyes off him.

Between running the ranch and being a single dad, Adam Hale has the weight of the world on his shoulders. But beneath his gruff exterior is a man who is fiercely loyal and compassionate. His heart has been broken and he’s not looking to repeat the experience.

After chasing my dad’s approval my whole life, I know better than to get my heart tangled. But it’s hard not to melt for this man—and his son.

When things get heated at a local rodeo, I have to remind him: We’re not at the ranch. He’s not my boss here…unless he wants to be.

WELCOME to episode 15, today I am chatting with my identical name twin Victoria Sorenson.

Author Bio:

Hi there! I am Victoria M. Sorenson, a debut YA fantasy author, long-time poet, and vintage book collector. When I am not writing enchanting plot scenes or poetry, I homeschool my three daughters and feed my fat cat, Chili. My life is full of fun and chaos, and I absolutely revel in its pandemonium. I find that when you begin to let yourself experience life and all that it has to offer, your writing and imagination will start to flourish. Welcome, my sacred children of the vine.

The Sacred Vine Book Blurb:

All elves bloom from the vine of life, the Vinha Vida Nova. Sayah and her twin sister, Ornella, are rare–blessed with gifted powers and bloomed from inside the same pod. Their rite-of-passage ceremony is upon them, as it has been three hundred and twenty-five moons since their creation. Now on the cusp of adulthood, they will face the cold, harsh reality of their existence inside the five kingdoms of Aksel, where powers are coveted.

Sayah will come to the realization that all it takes is a single choice–one decision can alter the course of one’s fate. The veil between good and evil is a thin line that all creatures and beings tread, and her actions will carry profound consequences.

Quotes:

"I discovered the beast that lay dormant inside me and unleashed her."

"I will not show weakness; they cannot shatter my callused heart made of pure grit and severed feelings. The rhythmically beating flesh inside the cage that is my chest is nothing more than hardened stone."

**Everything is still subjected to change in the editing process**

Welcome to episode 14! Today we are chatting with Angela Laverghetta. She drops some BIG wisdom and remember it's never too late to follow your dreams.

Angela Laverghetta is a Northern Nevada based author, living among the Sierra Mountains, sagging bookshelves, and way too many pets. Born in that liminal space between Gen X and Millennials, her life has been about rapid change in technology—and circumstances. Through it all, she found comfort and (more importantly) escape in reading and writing. Her goal as an author is to provide the same comfort and escape for her readers. The Buried Knight is her first novel. Other published works include a novella previously published with a small press and a short story in The ACES Anthology. Readers can find updates for book 2 by signing up for her newsletter at www.angelalaverghettabooks.com

Book Blurb:

My name’s Imogen Wylde, museum intern and recent inheritor of Wylde Retirement Home. I’ve spent my entire life pretending I don’t see the fae and ghosts, but that doesn’t mean they don’t see me.

Over 1,000 years ago, the veil between the faerie and human realms was sealed by Excalibur, and the knight buried with it. Now Excalibur is missing, the veil is unlocked and some of faerie’s most threatening denizens have entered our world. The sword needs to be found so the veil can be closed once again.

At least that’s the story the mysterious stranger who showed up at my work told me, right after he attempted to steal a priceless artifact. Turns out he also might be a vampire – and Lancelot?

Now I’m thrust into the world I’ve tried so hard to ignore.

Carson City, Nevada just got a whole lot weirder. And more dangerous.
