Coins in the Fountain by Judith Works Cover Reveal








Title: Coins in the Fountain


Author: Judith Works


Genre: Memoir


Publisher: Booktrope Editions





-,.-~*'¨¯¨'*·~-.¸-,.-~*'¨¯¨'*·~-.¸-,.-~*'¨¯¨'*·~-.¸














Innocents Abroad collide with La Dolce Vita when the author and her husband arrive in the ancient city of Rome fresh from the depths of Oregon.  While the author endeavored to learn the folkways of the United Nations, her husband tangled with unfamiliar vege weddings, enjoyed a close-up with the pope, tried their hands at grape harvesting, and savored country weekends where the ancient Etruscans still seemed to be lurking.  Along the way they made many unforgettable friends including the countess with a butt-reducing machine and a count who served as a model for naked statues of horsemen in his youth.





But not everything was wine and wonders.  Dogs in the doctor’s exam room, neighbors in the apartment in the middle of the nights, an auto accident with the military police, a dangerous fall in the subway, too many interactions with an excitable landlord, snakes and unexploded bombs on a golf course, and a sinking sailboat, all added more seasoning to the spaghetti sauce of their life.





Their story begins with a month trying to sleep on a cold marble floor wondering why they came to Rome.  It ends with a hopeful toss of coins in the Trevi Fountain to ensure their return to the Eternal City for visits.  Ten years of pasta, vino, and the sweet life weren’t enough.





Part memoir, part travelogue, Coins in the Fountain will amuse and intrigue you with the stories of food, friends, and the adventures of a couple who ran away to join the circus (the Circus Maximus, that is).





-,.-~*'¨¯¨'*·~-.¸-,.-~*'¨¯¨'*·~-.¸-,.-~*'¨¯¨'*·~-.¸











Life was routine until the author decided to get a law degree. Then a chance meeting led her to run away to the Circus (Maximus) – actually to the United Nations office next door - where she worked as an attorney in the HR department and entered the world of expat life in Rome. After four years she and her husband returned to the U.S. - this time to Washington, D.C. But they missed life in Italy with its great food and wine, endless history, and the many friends we made. The gods smiled and another opportunity came along. Six more years in Rome, again working for the UN, followed. The many happy and sometimes fraught experiences are the subject of her memoir, Coins in the Fountain. She is also the author of a novel about expats in Rome, City of Illusions, and flash fiction has been published in literary reviews. She continues to travel in her spare time, having visited over 100 countries. And when she is in Rome, she always tosses a coin in the Trevi Fountain to ensure another visit.

Release Blitz Ride (The Delancey Brothers Trilogy) by Joanna Blake

riderelease





Release Blitz


Title: RIDE

Author: Joanna Blake

Releasing December 29, 2015




RIDE Ecover







synopsis



I'm Jackson Delancey. I work hard, play hard and when it comes to women, I'm always hard.







PLAYBOY. BACHELOR. HEARTBREAKER.







I do whatever I want, when I want to. Chasing women doesn’t interest me. Not with the responsibility of running the famed Delancey Stables falling squarely on my shoulders. Until I meet her. Or rather, she slams into me hollering about some tree that’s on the border between our property lines.







Angelina Randall.







She’s feisty, argumentative and the best looking woman I’ve ever laid eyes on. I’d like to lay other parts on her too- just enough to get her out of my system. I tell her so, but she takes offense. No woman has ever turned down a Delancey and I’m not the kind of man who backs down from a challenge. Especially since I can’t get her out of my mind.

The longer it takes to win her over, the more I want to keep her for myself. I’m the man for her, if only she could stop picking fights with me long enough to see it. I’ll make her mine, if I have to drag her to hell and back again.

The way things are going, that might be a possibility.







RIDE: The Delancey Brothers Trilogy contains the complete Delancey Brothers series – these stories are not available anywhere else!







This book has THREE stories with guaranteed HEA's and no cheating!

Couple having sex, man take off bra of girl in his lap











buynow
















excerpt






The damn woman had turned me down. After I'd kissed her silly. And she'd kissed me back!



She was the most oppositional woman I'd ever met.



She was a pain in ass. A real ball buster. A stuck up prude!



She was also the first woman to get more than half hearted interested in me since- well- ever.



I'd dated my share of girls over the years. Plenty of them. Loads. But the past decade had been almost exclusively meaningless flings. They took care of a temporary need, but nothing more.



No entanglements. No relationship. No repeats.



That's what I was after with my new, pain in the ass, gorgeous as hell next door neighbor. One night of pure unadulterated, break the headboard sex. Then we would go our separate ways. It was just what I needed.



Right?



I glanced at her. She was staring straight ahead, ignoring me. She looked annoyed with me. Not that that was anything new.



But it didn't matter. She'd kissed me back. The second time anyway. I touched my cheek where she'd slapped it and grinned. I turned into her long driveway and stole a glance at her again.



This time I let my eyes wander over her tits and down to her long, lean legs.



Hmmfff... the girl was put together right!



"Jackson!"



I looked up, stopping just in time. I'd almost hit Elle's car where it was parked in the driveway. Whoops.



It wasn't my fault Angelina's legs were so damn distracting.



She was glaring at me again as she undid her seatbelt.



"You are a terrible driver!"



I leaned towards her. Enough was enough with this woman. I wasn't having her sass for another damn minute!



"No. I'm not."



"Yes. You are."



"I'm a fine driver. I was just distracted."



"By what? We are in the middle of nowhere!"



"By you."



Her pretty little mouth opened in that way she had and I grabbed her. My tongue plunged into her sweet, warm mouth again and again. I wasted no time putting my hands where I wanted them. On her hips.



She had damn good hips. Soft and just right for a man's hands. They'd be perfect leverage when I-



"Ouch!"



I stared at her in shock. One minute she was kissing me back and the next she was-



"Ouch!"



She'd slapped me. Twice. Three times in the last fifteen minutes.



That had to be some sort of a record.



"You have quite a temper Miss Angelina."



"It's Ms. Randall!"



I smirked as she got out of the car, slamming the door behind her. I watched her ass as it shimmied a bit with each step. She was stomping her cute little feet, angry as all get out.



She slammed the front door behind her too. I got out and stretched, then meandered over to the door. I wondered how long it would take her to remember that it was her car, and that I still had her keys.



I leaned against the door jam, whistling as I looked up at the stars.



A minute later the door slammed open. I hadn't know it was possible to angrily open a door, but she did it. The woman had style, that was for sure.



I smirked at her as she huffed at me. But she didn't realize that I was the big bad wolf in this scenario. Not her.



She was the little piggie.



"Forget something?"



She glared at me, holding out her hand.



"Keys."



Slowly I lifted them up and dropped them into her palm.



"Now go!"



"Sure thing. Just send Elle out. She's my ride and it's getting chilly out here. Unless you'd rather keep me warm..."



She started to say something and then stopped. I could practically see the steam coming out of her ears. I stifled a laugh as she shut the door in my face again. I spoke real loud just to be sure she could hear me.



"See you tomorrow sunshine."
