    About the Author

         Internationally known author, Grace Augustine, was born in
    Shelby, Montana and grew up in Cut Bank, Montana (dubbed as The Coldest Spot in
    the Nation). Her work career has taken her from title and abstracting to
    administrative assistant church work to co-owning a small town weekly newspaper
    to her current profession as a floral designer.
         Grace thinks of herself as a “Jill” of most trades
    and is not afraid to learn new things. “If you can’t learn something new
    each day, there’s something wrong,” she says.
    The ideas for her Acorn Hills series stem from her growing
    up years as well as the issues she has had to overcome along the way.
    “I’ve developed a new romance category…for the over 50 crowd…I’m
    calling it the salt and pepper genre. My books deal with real life issues,
    overcoming adversity, maintaining a positive outlook, and so much more. Just
    because we are 50 yrs old or older doesn’t mean that life stops. We all still
    want attention and affection and adventure! We want to experience all life has
    to offer. We use our age as wisdom to share with those around us. We are
    sexual, sensual, and sensible,” Grace explains.
         Augustine was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in July of
    2003. Her thoughts on that “It may slow me down, but if I can at all do
    it, I will. Sitting and feeling sorry for yourself isn’t the answer…living
    your life with an open, joy-filled heart is.”

    Breaking Boundaries a new #Military Romantic Suspense by @teresareasor #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
    the story.
    About the Author
    New York Times
    and USA Today bestselling author Teresa Reasor was born in southeastern
    Kentucky, but grew up a Marine Corps brat. The love of reading instilled in her
    in Kindergarten at Parris Island, South Carolina made books her friends during
    the many transfers her father’s military career entailed. The transition
    from reading to writing came easily to her and she penned her first book in
    second grade. But it wasn’t until 2007 that her first published work was
    released.
    After
    twenty-one years as an Art Teacher and ten years as a part time College
    Instructor, she’s now retired and living her dream as a full time Writer.
    Her body of
    work includes both full-length novels and shorter pieces in many different
    genres, Military Romantic Suspense, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy,
    Historical Romance, Contemporary Romance, and Children’s Books.
    Interview with Teresa Reasor
    Why did you write this
    book?
     
    When I wrote my second SEAL
    Team Heartbreaker book Breaking Through, I had a young Marine who played an
    important part in an intense rescue of one of my characters, and though he was
    only in that one chapter, his character stuck with me. 
    Right after the
    book came out a friend of mine shared a photo of a young Marine, who had lost a
    leg in Afghanistan and was working to become a model. I really wish I could
    have used that image on my book. But it wasn’t available.
    Those two events
    inspired my expanding the character of Callahan Crowes and giving him his own
    book, Breaking Boundaries.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Romantic suspense and it’s also my favorite genre to write.
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Female Characters would be:
    Alaina in Ashes in the Wind–Kathleen Woodiwiss, Eve Dallas in Nora
    Roberts’ aka JD Robb’s In Death series
    Male Characters would be:
    Johnny in Karen Robards One Summer, Cole in Ashes in the Wind, Harry
    Bosche in Michael Connelly’s series.
    What are you working on at
    the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m working on the next SEAL Team Heartbreaker book, Breaking Out. It
    will be Zach O’Connor, aka Doc’s book.
    Please tell us about your
    latest book.
    Corporal
    Callahan Crowes returns home from Afghanistan missing part of a leg and haunted
    by guilt over the loss of his men. He pledges to live every moment of his life
    to the fullest and works to build a career in the only field he knows besides
    being a soldier: construction.
    Reeling from
    her fiancé’s infidelity and their broken engagement, Kathleen O’Connor accepts
    a job far away from Boston and the suffocating pity of friends and family. She
    puts romance firmly behind her, and, armed with her shiny new architectural
    degree, launches her career with a commercial construction and design firm.
    Her first day
    on the job, she sees Cal risk his life to rescue a fellow worker, and is
    shocked when his act of heroism triggers an unwarranted attack on him from her
    supervisor. When she learns Cal may lose his job because of his
    leg, Kathleen urges him to use social media to fight the decision, putting
    her own job at risk.
    The public
    firestorm pushes Cal into the limelight in ways he least expects, but shows him
    a missing limb’s not the barrier to love he’s believed it is. But there’s
    something besides business politics brewing at work, and when Kathleen’s life
    is threatened, she discovers there’s more to a man than two good legs—it’s the
    size of his heart that counts.

    Is All Fair in Love and War with @SharonLHamilton #RLFBlog #Romance

    Navy SEALs are known for being the
    best of the best when it comes to working in the arena of war. Highly trained
    and skilled, practiced in all aspects of Team life, they are literally
    programmed to react certain ways and to call on resources in the flick of an
    eye.
    Not so at home. In fact, it’s well
    known that many of the Special Forces have problems on the homefront, with a
    higher than normal divorce rate. I created a scenario with my next series, Band
    of Bachelors, a house full of men who have banded together because of their
    common enemy: women. You can imagine the advice these bachelors give each
    other—both solicited and unsolicited, and most of it horrible. Yet, one by one,
    each will find his happily ever after.
    You know these guys already. They
    are loyal to The Brotherhood, to the Navy, and to their wives and children,
    even when they are estranged from them. Some will find their way back to wives
    they never stopped loving, others will have to find love again, but each tale
    will be a compelling and humorous journey of the heart, to find their true
    soulmate.

    Author  Sharon
    Hamilton
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Special Operator Lucas Shipley
    thought his troubles were past him, when he discovers they’ve only just begun.
    Recently separated from his wife of five years, he gets some unwelcomed
    news.  He thought his living arrangement,
    with four other separated or divorced buddies from SEAL Team 3, was
    temporary.  Now, he understands he has to
    move on with his life.
    Marcy Gelland is one of the
    smartest, most successful realtors in San Diego County. She’s hired by Lucas’
    soon-to-be ex-wife to help her liquidate their joint holdings and help
    orchestrate a speedy departure from Lucas’ life. Based on what Marcy’s been
    told, Lucas deserves any amount of pain she or her client can dish out to him.
    But when they are left alone
    together in the remote Northern California woods, they ignite a personal
    bonfire that threatens to burn down the whole forest.  Marcy is forced to see she has been misled.
    Amidst the backdrop of hardened
    bachelor SEALs with their unsolicited, anti-long- term relationship advice, and
    a criminal gang operating nearby, Lucas must do what he’s always done and never
    gotten proper credit for: be the hero that saves the day.

    Guard Dog by Sabrina York
    A scorching sequel to Stone Hard SEALs
    Mason Steele expected to be a SEAL until the day he died. And he was. A pity they revived him. Now he’s been mustered out of the Navy and his life seems wholly unsatisfying. He misses the action; he misses the camaraderie; he misses being able to use his tightly-honed skills. He’s lucky to have snagged this job with GAPS—the Guardian Angel Protective Services—it provides some hope for his future. But the last thing he wants to do is babysit a spoiled heiress who is obsessed with the color of her nail polish and carries a Chihuahua in her purse.
    But there’s more to Pansy Hightower than can be seen at first glance. She’s smart, sassy and determined to save the business her late mother built. She resents having a guard dog and does what she can to lose her muscular shadow. But when it becomes clear that someone is targeting her—perhaps for the same kind of fatal “accident” that befell her mother, she decides having the 240 pound SEAL with killer instincts and lethal hands at her back might be a good idea after all.
    Until they share a kiss, that is. Until those lethal hands prove they have other talents as well. Talents that leave her breathless and wanting and weak. The last thing either of them wants is a relationship, but the scorching passion between them cannot be denied…even though it will undoubtedly spell disaster for them both.
