Coming May 2013 from Sara Humphreys


Coming soon from one of my favorite Paranormal Romance Authors...

Undone




Pete and Marianna’s story is coming–May 2013!
Party girl Marianna Coltari is an unmated pureblood Amoveo who wants nothing to do with the ongoing war that took her father’s life and continues to consume her brother Dante’s. But when she is targeted by one of the clans, she has little choice but to run and hide in a cabin with Pete Castro, a retired cop from her brother’s security firm. There, Pete and Marianna explore an intensifying attraction between them until danger is at the door and there’s no escape.

A Day in the Life of Sara Humphreys

Read My Review
When Nely was kind enough to ask me to participate in this blog series, I was thrilled! The funny thing is that if she’d asked me to do this a couple of months ago, my day would’ve looked very different. I recently resigned from my full-time job at a local college and am now fully self-employed! In addition to being the mom to four wonderful boys and an author, I also own a company called Taney Speaker Training—we offer public speaking and presentation skills training. 
Read My Review
Being self-employed is a new adventure for me but one I’m embracing with open arms. However, since it’s summertime and the boys aren’t in school, it also comes with some unique challenges. Let’s just say that my time management skills are being put to the test.
So here’s an ideal summertime work day…

7:30am: Up and at ‘em with a workout. I usually do an Insanity workout or go for a run but lately the Insanity DVD is the way I go.

8:30am: Breakfast for me and the boys—immediately followed by clean-up/laundry etc.
Untamed
Coming 11/1/2012
 Pre-order
!

10:00am-12:00pm: Working on various projects for my Taney Speaker Training clients.

12:00pm-1:00pm: Lunch with the boys and of course cleaning up.

1:00pm-4:00pm: Pool time with the boys or some errands with them. If we’re at the pool, I usually have my laptop in tow and get some writing done there as well.

4:00pm-6:00pm: Dinner/laundry/cleaning up

6:00pm-8:00pm: Writing time.

8:00pm---until bedtime: My husband usually gets home around this time and we have a chance to hang out as a family and catch up. 

*On occasion—10:00pm-12:00am: More writing time—this usually happens as deadlines loom.

Riveting…isn’t it?
I’m looking forward to the school year so that I can get back to a more typical work day but I’m also trying to remember to enjoy time with my guys while they’re home. They’re great kids and I’m so proud to be their mom.  However, with all of these boys…the schedule rarely runs smoothly…but everything works itself out.

I have another deadline looming in early September. The manuscript for the first Dead in the City book is due and I’m about to dive back in to TALL, DARK, AND VAMPIRE.

See you around the web! 



Thank you, Sara, for sharing your day with us and for the great Giveaway!

Review: Untouched by Sara Humphreys

                                       ABOUT THE BOOK:
RATING: ✭✭✭✭✭
SHE SHOULD BE SEEN, BUT NEVER TOUCHED...
Kerry Smithson's modeling career ensures that she will be admired from afar, which is essential since mere human touch sparks blinding pain and terrifying visions.
EVERY GOOD MODEL NEEDS A HEAVENLY BODYGUARD...
Dante Coltari is hired to protect Kerry from those who know who she is—or more importantly what she is—and want her dead because of it. Nothing could have prepared him for the challenge of keeping her safe. But, strangely, his lightest touch brings her exquisite pleasure rather than pain, and Dante and Kerry have an otherwordly connection that might just pull them through.

REVIEW:
Kerry Smithson is a supermodel with womanly curves that captures the eye of a body guard, Dante Coltari, hired by her friends to protect her while in the city of New Orleans. Dante is completely entranced with the plus-size supermodel, but quickly finds that having her requite his feelings will be quite the task to accomplish. All of her life Kerry has avoided every person's touch, and if she can help it, Dante, although beautiful and exhilarating, won't be the exception. Inexplicably, and much to Kerry's surprise, she finds herself eager to touch him. Kerry also finds that a secret that she's kept her entire life is easy to reveal to Dante, and while romance blooms between the two, little do they know that danger lurks in "The Big Easy". 

Kerry feels that she needs the support of her best friend, Samantha, to give her answers to changes with which Samantha has also had to deal, yet is hesitant to contact her. But when an anonymous note is left at the front desk for Kerry, she sends a pleading call to Sam for help. The pace of the story quickens as they try to figure out who could be threatening the lovely Kerry. Dante will not stand to lose her, but it's out of his hands when "The Punisher" outsmarts them all. Who will save the Amoveo now? 

In the second book of Sara Humphreys' series, "The Amoveo Legend", the author has again weaved an exciting paranormal romance and mystery in the exciting world of shape shifters. The feel of the French-Cajun environment is so realistically portrayed in Humphreys' descriptive scenes that you'll want to hop the first plane to New Orleans. The story is filled with clever quips and an unexpected ending that will leave you wondering which other characters in Sara Humphreys' series are privy to their true Amoveo dynasty.  

Untouched is a passionate story of love and need for the soulmate of which we all dream.
