This week pick: Lie to Me by Starr Ambrose
From the back: Devastatingly handsome Jack Payton, the black sheep of his well-bred family, isn’t exactly marriage material, but for a fake fiancé, he’ll do just fine. Not that Eleanor Coggins has a choice. If she’s going to prove that Jack’s wealthy half brother Banner Westfield murdered her best friend, she needs total access to the family estate. Once Jack and Eleanor blow Banner’s cover, they can go their separate ways…or so she thinks. In order to win custody of his twelve-year-old daughter, Jack seriously needs to improve his reputation. An engagement should do the trick, but with Eleanor’s vivacious wit and irresistible curves, it’s the pretend part that’s getting harder. With a little help from an ex-con turned home security expert, a police chief with a scandalous secret, and an unexpected visitor, they must expose Banner’s dangerous tricks before they become his victims. But can Jack convince Eleanor to turn their own seductive little lie into the truth?
Lie to Me
Comment: Last week, I tanked my blog and lost posts dated late May all the way up to last week’s A-Z Wednesday. Thanks to subscribing to my own posts/comments, I’m able to “copy and paste” everything. It will take a while, but I get there eventually. I also making daily backups.
I picked Lie to Me this week because it is a book I read recently and it is one of the “victims” of my data loss. It’s one of the non-romantic suspense contemporaries I’ve read this year and I really loved it. Go here to read more.

This week pick: Kiss of Fire (Dragonfire #1) by Deborah Cooke
From the back: When ace accountant Sara Keegan decides to settle down and run her quirky aunt’s New Age bookstore, she’s not looking for adventure. She doesn’t believe in fate or the magic of tarot cards, but when she’s saved from a vicious attack by a man who has the ability to turn into a fire-breathing dragon, she questions whether she’s losing her mind — or about to lose her heart.
Kiss of Fire
Comment: One of my series is The Dragonfire books by Deborah Cooke. In this series, there are men who can shape-shift into dragons. The dragons, called Pyr, have long protected the treasures of the Earth, including mankind. However, there were some who did not believe that mankind deserved the protection of the Pyr. These dragons became known as Slayers. The series is about the Pyr fulfilling a prophecy and trying to eliminate the Slayers once and for all.
Kiss of Fire is the first book in the series. It sets the world-building up, introduces the major players (most of them anyway), and gives us some back-story. The books really should be read in order. I read Kiss of Fire last year and my thoughts can be found here. I’ve read Kiss of Fury this year and just finished Kiss of Fate. Winter Kiss, book four, will be released in November. At the moment, it looks as if the series is only going to be six books.

This week pick: Jedi Twilight (Coruscant Nights I) by Michael Reaves
From the back: Jax Pavan is one of the few Jedi Knights who miraculously survived the slaughter that followed Palpatine’s ruthless Order 66. Now, deep in Coruscant’s Blackpit Slums, Jax ekes out a living as a private investigator, trying to help people in need while concealing his Jedi identity and staying one step ahead of the killers out for Jedi blood. And they’re not the only ones in search of the elusive Jax.
Jedi Twilight
Comment: I’ve long been a fan of the Star Wars Expanded Universe — the officially licensed books, comics, etc. that build on the movies — however, I’ve been slacking lately. The year is almost over and I haven’t read a single book. I chose to feature this one to make myself feel guilty about breaking the promise I made to myself, that I would read at least four Star Wars books this year.
As for the book itself, it takes place after Revenge of the Sith and features characters from other books written by the author. Go here or click on the “SWEU” tab at the top of blog to see which books I’ve already reviewed. The Expanded Universe is one of the few series of books that I will write a DNF review, instead of just mentioning it, if I don’t complete the book for whatever reason.
