Excerpt:
It took a moment for them to realize what was happening. The truth dawned on them at the same time, and they simultaneously moved apart, both gasping for breath. Any second the door would slide open, revealing what appeared to be two lovers caught in a passionate clinch at work. Another button on her blouse had come undone. She fixed it while gesturing to his shirt. Her cheeks flamed hot as he tucked the shirt back into his pants. During their kissing frenzy, she had pulled the hem free, tugging on his clothes without giving it a thought. The elevator shuddered to a stop on their floor. He grinned at her. “Don’t worry about them believing us. You should see yourself. Lips puffy and smudged, hair messy, wrinkled clothing, they’d have to be blind to miss the signs. You look like a woman who has been in her lover’s arms.” Blushing furiously, she knew he was right. Her hand went to her hair to fix it, but he caught her fingers in his. The door slid open. He refused to release her hand. Instead, he lifted it to his mouth and placed a kiss on the inside of her wrist.
The Business Engagement is currently only available on Amazon as this and many of Kasi's books are enrolled in the Kindle Unlimited Program. Not tried it? Click the banner and read for free for 30 days!

My Review!
Ryan is back in the fourth installment of this page-turning, favorite new YA Vampire series and the stakes have never been higher! Followers of my reviews know that I am all about the NO SPOILERS in reviews, so by book 4 it gets a little tricky but I can say that this book literally ripped my heart out, stomped on it a few times, and then handed it back to me in pieces. At times I literally find myself questioning why I am torturing myself like this but the answer is these books are just so damn good I can't help it. Book 5 is at least available for pre-order but as I used to say all the time about True Blood - WAITING SUCKS! As I have said before, If you love vampires, in particular books such as the Vampire Academy, then you should pick this up. Well actually you should pick up book 1 first so that this one makes sense, and as the eBook is FREE right now on all platforms you really have nothing to lose! Another easy 5 stars from me and this is 100% Melanie's Muses Certified!  HERE .... COME .... THE .... ZOOMS!!!

Sherry Ficklin's ENTIRE 6 book Stolen Empire series is on sale today for just $0.99! If you haven't read it yet NOW IS YOUR CHANCE! Still not convinced - scroll down for an excerpt from my original 2014 review!
My Review
I LOVE this series. When I heard they were making "The Great" for Hulu I was excited, because I love this story, but ended up being disappointed because it just wasn't as good as this series. Seriously for $0.99 for the WHOLE series? You can't go wrong! This is an excerpt from my original review of Queen of Someday when it first released in 2014 and I can tell you the ride just kept going, until it ended up full circle. Amazing! "Loosely based on the history of Catherine the Great this YA historical novel hooks you from the first page. Fans of the tv show Reign will devour this series and with good reason. The characters are vibrant and demand you give them attention, the setting is royal and the history is ......... Well there's some history in there ..... But if I wanted accurate I would read a history book. Think more along the lines of the Tudors than a documentary and you won't be disappointed."
