Mountain Charm by Sydney Logan **Release Day Blitz**

Today is release day for Sydney Logan’s novel, Mountain Charm! To celebrate, we have two awesome giveaways, including a signed copy of Mountain Charm and a $100 Amazon Gift Card!
At the age of thirteen, Angelina Clark followed in the footsteps of her ancestors by casting an Appalachian love spell, which promised she would blossom into a beautiful and gifted woman who would find her true love. A young Angelina had been thrilled to participate in the sacred ritual, but through the years, her father’s untimely death and her mother’s failing health have shaken Angelina’s magical faith to its core. As her twenty-first birthday approaches, she refuses to practice her supernatural gifts and no longer believes in the love charm. That is, until Dylan Thomas arrives on her front porch. Dylan, a Nashville writer, travels to the mountain town of Maple Ridge to unearth the family’s supernatural secrets. While her clairvoyant mother is convinced that Dylan is her daughter’s soul mate, Angelina refuses to see the nosy reporter as anything more than a nuisance. Despite their constant bickering, sparks fly. Dylan admits he feels strangely drawn to Angelina and is in no hurry to leave Maple Ridge or publish his magazine article. Fearful that his emotions are being influenced by the spell, a stubborn Angelina struggles to fight her own budding attraction to the reporter. The two inevitably grow closer just as her mother’s health begins to deteriorate, and Angelina is faced with the possibility of selling the family’s music shop to pay the mounting medical expenses. Desperate to help the woman he loves, Dylan explores his own family tree and finds support from an unlikely source. Can he finally prove his love is real—spell or no spell? A story filled with love, friendship, family, and just a hint of Appalachian magic, Mountain Charm will leave you spellbound.

Sydney Logan is an Amazon bestselling author and holds a Master’s degree in Elementary Education.

Letters to Luca - COVER REVEAL

The third installment of the Reunion Series, Letters to Luca by MR Joseph is set to release on July 25th. For now you can feast your eyes on this brilliant cover!!!

The Game Changer - review

Aaaaaa Jack F'n Carter is back and has plenty of quarters with him! Look out ladies, this pitcher is taking the mound and changing the game!

Newly transferred to New York to play for the Mets and to be closer to Cassie, he sorted out his past but their future together is turning out to be more difficult than expected. Cassie is trying to figure out how to deal with her life with Jack and not let the paparazzi effect her. Easier said than done.

I loved The Perfect Game and while I didn't think there was a need for a second book, I loved reading more about Jack and Cassie and their struggles to remain a couple when everyone else was against them. Hearing their story from alternating points of view really helped to know what they were feeling and going through individually as well as together.  

I absolutely wouldn't mind a book about Matteo or Dean and Melissa in the future!
