Better in the Morning by Fern Ronay

Blurb:

Veronica Buccino has a plan: marry John DelMonico and quit her soul-sucking job as a lawyer. And when he tells her he has big news, she's certain he'll pop the question. But instead of proposing, John informs her that he's moving to London. Heartbroken, Veronica feels lost. Salvatore and Antoinette, her dead grandparents, begin to visit her dreams in an attempt to steer her in the right direction. At their suggestion, Veronica takes a news reporting class, which leads to a challenging freelance assignment covering a conspiracy trial. She also begins dating an unlikely suitor: advertising creative director, Syd Blackman. Just when her love life and career are looking up, Veronica is tossed back to square one by an event that makes her question all her new choices.

Review:

Better in the Morning is a delightful romp on both sides of “the veil.” In her dreams, which she doesn’t exactly remember but finds herself acting on, Veronica Buccino hangs out with her dead grandparents, and sometimes a friend of theirs—a Jewish grandmother who seems to flit in and out of her dreams enroute to various family gatherings. Her life was all planned out, until her boyfriend left for England without proposing, her grandparents steered her toward a journalism class, she defied her money-hungry boss by settling a case (which made the client, judge and defendant all happy), and started having unwanted feelings toward a Jewish ad man.

As Veronica’s plans unraveled and her life came together in a much better way (we grandparents really do know best), I laughed and cheered. I loved both Veronica and her grandparents. Thanks, Ms. Ronay. For a warm, sweet romance, I highly recommend Better in the Morning.

You’ll notice we always include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors usually receive 40-50% of the net proceeds from the publisher. Editors and cover artists usually receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the author, editors and cover artists receive their cuts from what is left. So, if a book costs $5.99 at E-Book Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author will receive about $2.40-$2.99. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author will receive about $1.70-$2.10.

Download the file from the publisher onto your computer as you would any other file. I’ve created a folder for books on my computer, with subfolders by source (Marketing for Romance Writers, Net Galley, Authors who find me on Kindle lists, etc.). That way, if there’s a glitch with your Kindle, the books are on your computer. Some publishers send books in all digital formats. If my Kindle breaks and my kids buy me a Nook, I won’t have to replace all of my books. If you have a Kindle and your hubby has a Nook, you won’t have to buy separate copies, so buying directly from the publisher can save you money.

Moving the file from your computer to your e-reader is as easy as transferring any file from your computer to a USB flash drive. Plug the larger USB end of your e-reader charging chord into a USB port on your computer and simply move the file from the folder into which you’ve downloaded the book to Documents/Books directory on your e-reader. You can move the file by highlighting it and dragging it to the documents directory in you Kindle you want to move it to. Or right click on it, and then left click copy or move. Or hit Control/C for copy, Control/X for cut, and Control/V for paste.

Eye of the Storme by W. L. Ripley

Blurb:

A young co-ed is raped by a country music legend in Branson, the “NashVegas” of Missouri. Ignored by the police, she turns to TV newswoman Sandy Collingsworth for help. Sandy’s investigation stirs up a hornet’s nest of corruption and crime, putting her in the mob’s crosshairs—something her boyfriend Wyatt Storme, a freelance troubleshooter, won’t abide. Storme rolls into Branson like a hurricane with his buddy Chick Easton, an unhinged ex-CIA operative, to settle the score with his own brand of justice.

The third novel in the acclaimed Wyatt Storme series. Previously published under the title Electric Country Roulette.

About the Author:

Review:

Eye of the Storme grabbed me on page one and wouldn’t let me go. Nor did it let me figure out exactly “whodunit” at the beginning or half-way through. I found out who all the players were when Mr. Ripley wanted me to know. For this writer/editor/reviewer, that’s a rare treat. Another rare treat is picking up book three in a series and not feeling lost, not to mention finishing the book and feeling fulfilled. Oh, yes, I’d enjoy going back to the beginning of the Storme mysteries. And I’d love to know what’s next for Wyatt Storme and his cronies. If I were in real trouble, I’d definitely want them on my side. But Eye of the Storme had a beginning, a middle and an end—no cliffhanger! Thank you, Mr. Ripley, for writing well enough to be able to create a series that makes readers want to “keep coming back” without leaving your books unfinished.

For a great page-burning read, by all means, check out Eye of the Storme.
