  From Brent Spiner, who played the beloved Lieutenant Commander Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation, comes an explosive and hilarious autobiographical novel. Brent Spiner’s explosive and hilarious novel is a personal look at the slightly askew relationship between a celebrity and his fans. If the Coen Brothers were to make a Star Trek movie, involving the complexity of fan obsession and sci-fi, this noir comedy might just be the one. Set in 1991, just as Star Trek: The Next Generation has rocketed the cast to global fame, the young and impressionable actor Brent Spiner receives a mysterious package and a series of disturbing letters, that take him on a terrifying and bizarre journey that enlists Paramount Security, the LAPD, and even the FBI in putting a stop to the danger that has his life and career hanging in the balance. Featuring a cast of characters from Patrick Stewart to Levar Burton to Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, to some completely imagined, this is the fictional au...

  Previously published as "The Ascendancy of The Nerd" by Mister Victor. Dive, wade or simply belly flop your way through our world’s unplanned journey in which nerds have been busily (though mostly inadvertently) inheriting the earth, while the rest of us have been lost in our smartphones, glued to our computer/TV screens, or were ordering a pizza and binging on Netflix. In this terribly humorous account, we discover how the wild rise of nerds, and their mesmerizing technology, have completely redefined society, thereby affecting every facet of our lives including: • How we interact – OMG, do not call me or stop by, I’ll text you • How we work – Virtually all the time • What we eat – Why the snack aisle in the grocery store is the world’s most popular travel destination • How we dress – Why our sense of fashion has been sadly diagnosed to be in Stage IV • What news we consume – Look here, I told you I was right • And speaking of sports – Why national team sports are headed t...

  Joelle and Luc escaped hell -- barely. But now hell is coming for them on Earth. They know what Joelle can do, and the stakes are raised. Luc is doing his best to stay sane and protect Joelle, which is easier said than done when dealing with the feisty blonde. But the two will have to work together -- even when separated -- to prove that their love is strong enough to overcome even the deadliest of battles. My Review First off I have to say Joelle and Luc forever. These two will not let a "little" thing like the devil stop them from being together. In this final book, Joelle is the one in charge. She kicked some Mare butt! She was not afraid of anyone or anything.  With each book, I have grown to love Luc and Joelle more and more deeply. As I said with the second book that Joelle and Luc are the Bonnie and Clyde of Hell. Luc would go to the depths of Hell for Joelle. These two may have been fighting to keep Earth from being overrun but they still had time for hot sex. If yo...

  When sixteen-year-old Tessa's small mountain community is ravaged by a forest fire, people come together to heal. Except Tessa. Because she set the blaze. This debut novel by Naomi Ulsted follows Tessa as she tries to pull a new life from the ashes of a big mistake. When the judge hands out a sentence of massive fines, community service and 227 apology letters - one for every person whose life she's ruined - Tessa wishes she'd been sent to prison, that life behind bars might be better than the one she's forced to live. Choked by shame and resentment, and shunned by her friends and neighbours, the only person she can lash out at is herself. An unlikely friendship, a painful discovery, and a box full of apology letters may be the only chance Tessa has at redemption. My Review This book is one that the younger audience may enjoy better. Not to say that I did not like it but I just found myself not relating or connecting with Tessa as well. She did come off as a teenager wi...

  Want to kill my sister? You’ll have to go through me first. I will stop you. Even if it means I have to go back to the palace. Even if it means I have to take back the crown I left behind. Even if it means I have to face the four men I left at the altar. I will take on them and their anger. I will take on anything to save Avia. Because the kingdom needs her. The kingdom needs a good queen. Not a cursed one. Not me. If I can’t save her, then the kingdom will fall. Because I can’t rule. I’m a walking death sentence for anyone who gets too close… My Review My latest reading obsession is reverse harem stories. I like the storyline and the characters. A mixture of fantasy and romance just on a "hotter" level. This is my first introduction to author, Ann Denton. However, it will not be my last and in fact, I am happy to see the other books are out so that I can continue this series.  Bloss is not a damsel in distress. No, she would rather be up front leading the fight than in the...

  Dr. Pepper Hunt and Detective Beau Antelope team up again to investigate a tragic murder/suicide in a prominent ranch family in the small town of Farson, Wyoming. As they explore events leading up to the night of the disturbing crime they are drawn into the dark heart of a troubled family touched by a legacy of trauma. My Review I have not read the prior two books in this series but it is not a requirement that you have read them first. This book can be read as a stand alone novel. While, this book did not grab me as strongly, I did like the dynamics of Dr. Pepper Hunt and Detective Beau Antelope and would go back and read the first two books to get to know and see them in action better.  Sadly, the reason I found myself struggling with this book is the cast of characters. Other than the two main characters, I did not really find anything intriguing about the rest of them. Thus I was not as interested in the "how, what, where, and why" of the story. Which are all major aspe...

A second chance to win the girl of my dreams? Maybe. But this time around we both have a lot of baggage. Cara I’m broken. I know it. My brother knows it. The band knows it.

  A perfect gift that captures the spirit of the season, USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle’s A Heartfelt Christmas Promise celebrates the holidays, small-town traditions, and the generosity of love between two lost souls who find everything they ever wanted in each other. Vanessa Larkin was supposed to be spending Christmas in Paris, France on a business trip she hoped to enjoy as a working vacation. Instead, she’s been assigned to Fraser Hills, North Carolina—home of the Best Fruitcake in the USA—to convert her company’s property into warehouse space and shut down Porter’s, the fruitcake factory. Offering retirement packages and selling locals on new job opportunities may not spread holiday cheer, but Vanessa believes she’s helping secure the town’s future. Mike Marshall’s family founded Porter’s. For decades, the factory served as the lifeblood of the community until his grandfather sold the business to a Chicago corporation. The sale cost the town its independence—and th...

  “He sold me.” “To the Mafia.” When the king of the underworld wants you. You have no place to run. No matter how hard you try, no matter where you go. He will find you. It’s just a matter of, do you want him to find you. Or do you want to run. My Review As if Keir and Sailor's story could not get any better, it just did with this book. I absolutely loved this duet story. Keir and Sailor are perfect together. This time around Sailor got to be more prominent and even call some of the shots. As readers will know, this is a huge deal as Keir is used to being in charge. Keir's nickname for Sailor got my every time...Lollipop. Whenever he would say it, to push Sailor's buttons,  had a smile on my face. She may have acted like she was annoyed but inside she liked it. It is the angst that got me this time with Keir and Sailor. It was so hot that you could feel the steam rising off the pages of this book. This duet is a recommended five star read!
