Blurb:

Maureen thought her special gift was a curse. Maybe she’s right.

As the one man who accepted her “gift” slid the diamond ring onto her shaky finger, Maureen saw his death flash in her mind an instant before the bullet struck. With blood on her hands and a government research project in the balance, Maureen-Gilly-Gillman does the only smart thing she can. She disappears. If there was one thing Maureen had learned, it was Never Tempt Danger.

Special agent Lucas Danger knows Maureen Gillman better than any other man. Assigned to find Gilly and her military robot prototype, Lucas discovers that his past has caught up with him. When the woman he loves collides with his secretive past, Lucas has …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?


Welcome back! This week we’ve decided to try and take a look at Italian covers. We thought the covers would reflect Italy’s beauty but we were sadly a bit disappointed. Instead of eternal beauty and timelessness we found clichés and well…you will see for yourself. Be sure to let us know what you think about our selections.

Caro: O_O Well first I don’t find the cut out faces to be very attractive in the first place but if you add the weird “hey my make-up is running” part it’s just plain weird.

I like the Nalini cover. The wings are for once original. It’s simple but good. (also i have a secret thing for curly-longish hair on a man) <==that’s a man right? …

Winner Announcement – The Home Alone Edition

Hey Everyone!

You might know that I have two younger sisters so the house is always full and there is never one moment of peace. Which I love, the loud buzzing nonstop chatter is what I am used to, but sometimes a little calm would be great. So when by some kind of miracle I have the house to myself even for a couple of hours I want to make the most of it by soaking up the silence :-p And by some kind of cosmic stroke of luck both my two sisters and parents left for the whole weekend, so I was home alone for almost 2 days! (well almost, because I had some friends over on Saturday) *contented sigh* The small pleasures of life 😀

So when I am writing this post the sun just came up, and I’ll be soon on my way out to have breakfast by …

Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review

This week’s news post is a bit quiet but there aresome interesting developments concerning Agency pricing and Amazon may have found a way to sidestep Apple’s new rules on their apps.

First up, along with Anti-trust investigations about Agency pricing, a lawsuit has been filed that it was only a matter of time before one would be instigated. Law firm Hagens and Berman have filed a suit that major publishers such as Simon & Schuster, Penguin, Hachette, HarperCollins and Macmillan as well as Apple have conspired to boost up profits and to undermine Amazon as well breaking anti-trust laws. Whether this can be proven is another matter but I do think it is an interesting development.

This sorts of leads to the fact that Amazon has launched a HTML 5 Web App for their Kindle store which sides-step Apple’s …

Thank you so much to Lea for having me as a guest here today at Book Lovers Inc.!
