Starstruck in Willow Falls

Title: Starstruck in Willow Falls

Author: Pat Nichols
Publisher: Iron Stream Media, LPC
Release Date: February 2, 2021
Genre: Women's Fiction

As a Hollywood film crew and famous movie stars swoop into Willow Falls to film a full-length motion picture, the small town’s new normal as a popular North Georgia tourist destination is thrown into chaos. 

Weeks away from marrying the manager of the town’s new winery Rachel Streetman fears her life-long dream to act is drifting into oblivion and leaving behind bitter regret. She wonders if auditioning for a role in the movie will boost her lackluster career or open the door to a lifestyle incompatible with the small-town life she has come to accept. 

Rachel’s sister, Emily Hayes, also has a dream—to be a famous author. But the release of her debut novel is upstaged by the Hollywood invasion. When she and Rachel accept the role as the director’s liaisons, their patience is stretched to the limit by starstruck residents and ego-driven celebrities. 

Can these two sisters survive the chaos in Willow Falls and still achieve their dreams?

EXCERPT

“That won’t keep everyone from bugging us. Uh oh.” Emily pointed to the mail truck pulling into a parking space in front of the Willow Post headquarters. “The temperature in here is about to heat up ten degrees.”

Mary huffed. “Try twenty.”

Mirabelle clutched a newspaper in her right hand, her lips pinched. She stormed into the office. “How long have you known about this?” She slammed the paper on the table in front of Emily and drummed her finger on the headline. “Director Selects Willow Falls to Film Feature-Length Movie. Did you keep it a secret to give your sister an advantage?”

Book Tour, Excerpt & Giveaway: A Valetine's Proposal by Kim Findlay

On Tour with Prism Book Tours

A Valetine's Proposal
(Cupid's Crossing #1)
By Kim Findlay
Contemporary Romance
Paperback & ebook, 227  Pages
February 1, 2021 by Harelquin Heartwarming

Their engagement is pretend
Cupid has other plans…

Wedding planner Mariah Van Delton has a plan to save the charming small town of Carter’s Crossing—by turning it into a romance destination! All Mariah needs is a very public Valentine’s Day proposal. And her only option? A fake one between her and the handsome town veterinarian and wedding hater, Nelson Carter. But a little charade between adversaries might just be the start of something undeniably real…

(Affiliate links included.)
 
 
Excerpt
 

“If we’re lost at sea, I’ll be sure to do what you tell me to. But Carter’s Crossing is different, and here I can navigate better than you.

“I made the reservation with Jaycee. I didn’t tell her who I was bringing, but I’m willing to bet any amount you want that she’s going to be there, watching every move we make. We can’t be overheard making rules about dating, or no one is going to buy what we’re selling.”

Mariah squinched up her nose. “Fine. We can’t talk about dating in there.”

“I have two stipulations.” Nelson moved his body over, leaning against the door, watching her face in the light from the storefront in front of them.

Mariah frowned. She didn’t want to argue this. She just wanted it done. This was her job—couldn’t he just let her do it?

“What are the two things you want to stipulate?” She wasn’t going to accept anything blindly.

“The first is telling Grandmother.”

Mariah nodded. She hadn’t been looking forward to pretending to fall in love with Nelson in front of Abigail. She was a party planner, not an actress. Keeping up the front in public would be hard enough. She wasn’t sure she could sell Abigail.

No, she was sure she couldn’t.

“And secondly, I end it.”

EXCERPT

 
“Did you have to look so shocked by saying three little words?”
 

“We’re not like that!” Why was Trinity mad at him?
 

“I know that. You know that. The girls weren’t even insinuating something romantic.”
 

“It just caught me off guard since we’re married now.”
 

“That doesn’t change anything, Omar. You know that. We entered this for a mutually beneficial arrangement. Don’t treat me like I have cooties.”
 

“Trinity, come on. You mean to tell me it didn’t surprise you?” He motioned for her to walk down the stairs.
 

“Of course not. I’m not falling in love again. Ever. And you…”
 

“I’m still in love with Christine.”
 

“Exactly.” She sighed, grabbing the end of one of her braids. “Sorry. I just don’t want our friendship to change and it seems like it has anyway.”
 

“Still friends?” he asked, holding out his hand.
 

“Yes.” She slid her hand into his. “Next time just say you love me. Remember, I already know it’s as a friend.”
 

But as much as he didn’t want their friendship to change…
for him, it already had.

Blog Tour, Excerpt & Giveaway: Driven by Sara Davison

Driven JustRead Blog + Review Tour 

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Driven by Sara Davison, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Driven

Title: Driven 
Series: Night Guardians #3
Author: Sara Davison
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: February 1, 2021
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Children aren’t the only ones who can disappear. 

Driven by ongoing grief and relentless dreams, Holden Kelly is determined to track down the child his brother Gage abducted eight years earlier. The kidnapping that saved Matthew Gibson’s life had cost Gage his. Proving his brother hadn’t sacrificed his life for nothing might be the only way Holden can start fully living his again. And it could be the last chance he has to find his way back to the wife he loves but who is also mired in grief and a crisis of faith. 

Mikayla Grant has nightmares of her own. A road trip with private investigator Jax Rodriguez—a man she is drawn to even though his primary goal seems to be to drive her crazy—can’t be the way to heal from a terrible loss. Can it? 

 As Holden, Mikayla, and Jax follow the missing child’s trail from Toronto to Chicago, their mission is not as secret as they thought. Someone knows they are coming and will stop at nothing to prevent them from finding Matthew. 

And to make sure that no one ever hears from the three of them again.

EXCERPT

Grabbing the knife, she waved it in Nicole’s direction. “I’m only staying for Christina’s sake. I am not interested in meeting some random guy who makes a living out of sticking his nose into other people’s business.”

Nicole ripped a few paper towels from the roll mounted beneath a cupboard and wiped the gravy off the floor. “He’s not a random guy. I really like him and he’s a friend of Daniel’s, so you know he’s okay.”

Mikayla had to give her that one. Grudgingly. “Even so. I am not looking to get involved with—”

The doors swung open and a tall man in black jeans and a fitted gray, V-necked T-shirt under a light khaki leather jacket stepped into the kitchen. His long, dark hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and even from across the room, his eyes appeared so dark they were almost black.

Mikayla pressed her lips together to stifle a groan. You have got to be kidding me. This was the random guy? In addition to the extra effort God had clearly put into him, the man definitely knew how to dress. Weren’t private investigators supposed to be good at blending in, not drawing attention to themselves? If so, he had to be the worst PI in the world.
