One for Kami Review by Gothic Mom's Book Review

One for Kami is at Gothic Mom's Book Review today and Annette gave it a sweet review.  Had to share! *big smile*

Today's review is on One for Kami by Charlene Wilson

I have had the pleasure of reading two other books by Wilson, Cornerstone Deep & Cornerstone Deep Echoes.  So when asked to take a look at this short and sweet love story I jumped at the chance.

Wilson's ability to touch your heart shines through in each of her books, and One for Kami is no different.  This tale of true love spans time and dimensions.  One for Kami is a story that will have you willing to give up everything for your one true love.

Some short stories lack character development or have a weak plot, while others simply leave you hanging, feeling like you just got the first few chapters of a decent book. You won't get that here. And let me tell you, with my ever growing list of books TBR, it is nice to snuggle into a favorite chair with a cup of warm coco and a good; as Wilson calls it, "lunchtime read."  One for Kami fits that bill perfectly. 

4 of 5 stars

Thank you so much, Annette!

Until next time, may your dreams be magical.

One for Kami Review

One for Kami has received a lovely review from Debbie at Read 2 Review. Here's what she had to say:

One for Kami by Charlene A. Wilson

Review by Debbie

In Wilson’s romance short story, she spins a tale of true love spanning time and dimensions that will inspire the reader to sacrifice everything to find their soul mate. Many short stories lack character depth and development, story plot, and often leave you hanging. Not this one.

The reader will most definitely find all things a good story requires in One for Kami.

Wonderful read 4/5

To get your copy of One for Kami please check out the following Amazon links:

UK: Onefor Kami

USA: Onefor Kami

Thank you, Debbie! Such a treat. *big smile*

Until next time, may your dreams be magical.

daynight Book Blast & $75 GC Giveaway

daynight 

by Megan Thomason 

Book Blast & Blog Tour

Meet The Second Chance Institute (SCI): Earth’s benevolent non-profit by day, Thera’s totalitarian regime by night. Their motto: Because Everyone Deserves a Second Chance™. Reality: the SCI subjects Second Chancers to strict controls and politically motivated science experiments like Cleaving—forced lifetime union between two people who have sex.

Meet Kira Donovan. Fiercely loyal, overly optimistic, and ensnared by the promise of a full-ride college scholarship, Kira signs the SCI Recruit contract to escape memories of a tragedy that left her boyfriend and friends dead.

Meet Blake Sundry. Bitter about being raised in Exile and his mother’s death, Blake’s been trained to infiltrate and destroy the SCI. Current barrier to success? His Recruit partner—Miss Goody Two Shoes Kira Donovan.

Meet Ethan Darcton. Born with a defective heart and resulting inferiority complex, Ethan’s forced to do his SCI elite family’s bidding. Cleave-worthy Kira Donovan catches his eye, but the presiding powers give defect-free Blake Sundry first dibs.

Full of competing agendas, romantic entanglements, humor, twists and turns, daynight is Megan Thomason’s debut young adult dystopian novel and first in the daynight series.

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

I've been having a rough time this week getting motivated and then getting my muse motivated. 

And the chocolate just isn't helping.

I started getting grumpy. Then got more grumpy. Then, evidently I got to the lazy poor me stage because one of my best friends gave me this caring advice: 

(and I quote)

"Girl, I love you, but get off your lazy ass sob fest and put on your big-girl fuck me thong!"

Wise words from one who loves me.


The Game Is ON!

Until next time, may your dreams be magical.

Thank you all.  Here's to a magical 2013!

Until next time, may your dreams be magical.
