Some say there’s no such thing as coincidence, but Jamie Beck does not agree in her romance, IN THE CARDS. When a snarky bartender and a teenage society girl meet, sparks fly—but not in a good way. Flashing forward eight years, a chain of events place the pair as unwilling neighbors. The cards are redealt when a bad motorcycle accident sends Levi, a confirmed bachelor with few real friends and no family that might care, into spinal surgery. Fearing he is alone, Lindsey, a New Yorker who fled to California to start a new life, takes on Levi’s recuperation as her new project. Ms. Beck’s deep understanding of the human mind is apparent, as she delves into the psyche of an insensitive hero as neatly as she portrays her heroine. This author is a master of conflict. Lindsey is as stubborn about helping out as Levi is obstinate and resentful. IN THE CARDS will keep you turning pages as you root for Lindsey to break through the ice around Levi’s heart. Don’t miss this one! http://www.amazon.com/Cards-Jamie-Beck-ebook/dp/B00K5XMX4S

Sarah misses her friend, but finds solace in befriending a golden retriever, aptly named Angel, who is having a similar problem. Together Sarah and Angel trade special memories, making each feel whole again. When I read MISSING NORA, I couldn’t help but think of my favorite childhood story heroine, Raggedy Ann, who made the land of make-believe real to me.  If toys could talk and feel, why not animals? This wonderful story will stimulate your child’s imagination while teaching the lessons of friendship, sharing, and love. http://www.amazon.com/Missing-Nora-Friends-Feelings-Book-ebook/dp/B00R3D0S9U
