INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone My name is Victoria Zumbrum, 40 years old, married 14 years with 1 son. This is my very first blog. So bear with me. I have always wanted to have my own blog. I have always loved to read. I enjoy getting lost in a good book.
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.

I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

The Jane Barnaby Adventures Book Tour and Giveaway


Finders
Keepers
The
Jane Barnaby Adventures Book 1
by
J.J. DiBenedetto
Genre:
Light Suspense Thriller



230
pages

All
archaeology student Jane Barnaby had to do was deliver a box of
pottery shards to her professor at his dig site, along with his new
car. Yes, his office was in Oxfordshire, and his dig site was in
Spain, a trip of 1,400 miles across three countries and two bodies of
water. Still, it should have been simple.


That
is, until everything went wrong.


Now,
Jane has the wrong box and is being chased by thieves who want it and
aren't particular about how they get what they want.


Add
to that, she's picked up a pair of passengers who both claim they can
help her get her professor's pottery back and return the artifacts to
their rightful owner. If only she knew who was working with the
thieves and who she can trust in this high-stakes game of finders
keepers.


**Only
.99 cents!**













Losers
Weepers
The
Jane Barnaby Adventures Book 2

226
pages

Jane
Barnaby had everything going her way: a prestigious internship at the
Museum of Natural History, a fantastic Upper West Side sublet
apartment, and helping plan her newly-engaged college friend's
wedding.


Until
a casual lunch with her friend’s fiancĂ© set off alarm bells, and
sent her digging into the rabbit hole that is his past.


When
that rabbit hole leads Jane and her on-again, off-again boyfriend to
the English countryside, uncovering secrets dating back to World War
2, searching for priceless art treasures looted by the Nazis, and
fighting off the thieves who will kill to get those treasures for
themselves, will they discover the truth, or lose their lives?





Her
Brother's Keeper


The
Jane Barnaby Adventures Book 3

175
pages

Jane
Barnaby has planned the perfect Christmas vacation. Her father and
his fiancé are joining her in Spain at her archaeological dig.
They'll see her work, meet her mentor, and they'll all enjoy a few
days of sunny Mediterranean beaches in the dead of winter.


But
it all falls apart when Jane's annoying brother tags along and lands
in jail for a crime he didn't commit.

To clear her brother's
name, all Jane has to do is chase a wily female con-artist across
Europe, catch her, and confront the woman and her accomplices. Oh,
and outwit an ex-KGB agent and his personal goon squad along the way.






J.J.
DiBenedetto is author of the Dream Series and the Jane Barnaby
Adventures and lives in Arlington, Virginia with the love of his life
and a white cat who rules the roost. 


His
passions are photography, travel, the opera, the New York Giants, and
of course writing. 

Mr.
DiBenedetto is devoted to writing books with a sense of mysticism to
entertain and perhaps invite his readers to suspend belief in a way
they might never have.

Since
he was very young , he has always been intrigued with the
supernatural and things that can't be explained rationally.

By
always asking way too many questions, it piqued his interest to the
point of setting his writing off and running when he grew up! All the
curiosity building up all those years were finally getting put into
words to captivate readers. And it hasn't ended. His main goal is to
share all the stories he has inside, putting pen to paper. And that's
how the Dream Series was born.

Lies and Illusions by Avelyn Paige


IT'S LIVE




Photographer: Shauna Kruse

Cover Designer: The Final Wrap


Presley

Growing up as MC royalty, my path was set, but it was never my destiny. Liberated by my father’s death, I left the Heaven’s Rejects Clubhouse to make my own way in life. But fate had other ideas. My brother's club was the only option, once a target had been painted on my back, because of one of my patients. I never expected that going home would result in my entire world being flipped upside down, at the hands of the man meant to protect me. With him as a bodyguard, my heart never stood a chance. Could I sacrifice my soul to go back to the life I left behind?

Voodoo

Falling in love with a prim and proper princess wasn’t anywhere on my agenda, but from the moment I saw her, it was game over. Hiding behind a screen name, I carried on an online relationship with her for months, under the guise of club business. But I wanted more than just an online fling. Now that she’s here, needing protection from the club, I have a choice to make. She wants nothing to do with the MC life, much less have a relationship with anyone associated with it. But I’m determined to show her how much she means to me. Am I really willing to give up my brothers and the club all for her?

The game is just now beginning, but in reality I might only have one life left.

THIS WEEK'S BEST SELLING AUTHOR...


AVERY FLYNN!





USA Today bestselling romance author Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip.







She fell in love with romance while reading Johanna Lindsey’s Mallory books. It wasn’t long before Avery had read through all the romance offerings at her local library. Needing a romance fix, she turned to Harlequin’s four books a month home delivery service to ease the withdrawal symptoms. That worked for a short time, but it wasn’t long before the local book stores’ staffs knew her by name.







Avery was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.







Find out more about Avery on her website, follow her on Twitter and Pinterest, like her on her Facebook page or friend her on her Facebook profile. She’s also on Goodreads and BookLikes.







Join her street team, The Flynnbots, and receive special sneak peeks, prizes and early access to her latest releases!







Also, if you figure out how to send Oreos through the Internet, she’ll be your best friend for life.












Montana Mountain Romances Book Tour and Giveaway


Wild
Passion
A
Montana Mountain Romance #2
by
Dawn Luedecke


Genre:
Historical Romance

One
of the last outposts of the American West, the Montana Territory is
filled with promise and adventure for those with brave souls—and
open hearts . . .

Leader
of the Timberbeasts, logger Simon Sanders’ biggest problem a year
ago was deciding which willing woman to seduce. But since being
mauled by a cougar he’s become a pariah in Missoula’s social
circuit—and to himself. All he wants is to hide his scarred face
and disappear into the bottom of a whiskey bottle. His plan is going
well—until his sister’s best friend, Carrie Kerr, kidnaps him and
forces him to deal with his demons. If he didn’t know better, Simon
would swear the bossy beauty is a demon herself . . . 
Carrie
doesn’t like to use the word kidnap. Unknowingly transport,
perhaps. In any case, she can no longer watch Simon destroy himself
in self-pity. Not since she lost her heart to him as she nursed him
back to health. Now, whatever happens between them, she’s
determined to bring him back to the one place he swore he’d never
return to, the place she’s sure will reignite his spirit. But if
things go awry, will she 
will
she lose all hope for him to win back his life—much less share it
with her? . . .
Well
written, well researched. Like the river, this plot runs faster and
faster. Readers won’t be able to put it down.”

White
Water Passion
A
Montana Mountain Romance #1

The
Montana Territory is one of the last outposts of the American
West—where adventure as grand as the wide-open plains is around
every corner, and passion as wild as the land itself beats in every
heart . . .
Elizabeth
Sanders isn’t afraid of anything, except what will happen to her
beloved town if the Big Mountain Lumber Mill is destroyed. When she
overhears a plot to do just that, she vows to put a stop to it, even
if it means dressing as a young lumberjack to expose the saboteur.
There’s only one problem with her plan—her brother’s handsome
friend and fellow logger Garrett Jones, who arouses a desire within
her soul as fierce as the river rapids.
When
Garrett discovers that the odd new lad on the crew is in fact Beth,
he’s shocked. A logging camp is no place for a young
woman—especially the spirited beauty he’s admired for so long.
Keeping her safe is easier said than done, however, as the attraction
between them flares into true passion. As the danger mounts, Beth and
Garrett must work together to survive the last log run down the wild
rapids and claim any chance of saving the mill—and their chance at
a future . . .
