Weekend Update!

Hi everyone! This is officially the tenth day of dealing with phone issues. My phone has been fine since we switched but apparently my husband and son's were not. When I tried to switch my son's phone number back Google Fi could not do it! Four hours later we decided he gets a new number. This has been the biggest waste of time and so much stress! I'm hoping we're good now for at least 20 years.
Now you may ask, why does it matter? Well when I'm stressed I cannot do anything creative, so now I'm about to get behind on writing when I had hoped to be ahead for once. Hopefully, I can make a dent the next few days. On the brighter side I've been reading a lot. I'll try to share each week what I've read, as you can see by this week I'm loving paranormal romance.
I FINALLY read the third and final book in the Kick At The Darkness series by Kira Andrews. It was excellent. Great ending to the series. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753GGPNZ
Next I started the SOS Hotel series by Ariana Nash. This series is so fun, it's paranormal with demons, a vampire daddy, and a not quite so human hotel owner. I've read book one and two and just started book three. I can't wait to see what happens next. https://www.amazon.com/SOS-HOTEL-Supernaturally-Safe-Stay-ebook/dp/B0CZXG86JL

Gunnar has existed near the border of the monster world in the wilds of Iceland for centuries, only straying into the human world occasionally out of boredom.

Isaac Grant has lived in Foggy Basin for all of his twenty-three years. Everything was perfect until his favorite friend with benefits, Jack, met the love of his life. Sure, he was happy for Jack, but he missed him and wanted someone of his own to keep him warm at night, or to get into trouble with.
Tig Sawyer left Foggy Basin after only living there for a little over a year. He graduated from high school and moved onto an out-of-state college and, for the most part, never looked back. But memories of that slower pace always came back to him when he was neck deep in work, and his personal life.
Isaac was never looking for a relationship and was more than
happy to live his life loose and free, but since meeting Tig, he wonders why he never wanted someone of his own. He also questions why someone like Tig, who has his life together and always seems happy as hell, would want to take him on. But there’s something in the way Tig looks at him that says he’s more than willing.

Camping 101
BL Maxwell
Covers by: Covers By Jo
Gavin Johnson has been camping as long as he can remember. His family spent a few weeks every summer either on the coast of California or in the forests of the Sierra enjoying the simple life and getting closer to nature. Which is why when he had the opportunity to buy Camp Acorn where he’d worked in his twenties, he jumped at the chance.
Wyatt Jackson loves his life. He has everything he wants or needs at home. But he starts to crave change. He wants a new start, and new experiences. When he sees an ad for a camp for adults nestled deep in the Sierra, he registers for a two-week stay before he has the chance to change his own mind, and quickly regrets that decision.
Staying in a cabin for two weeks is supposed to be an adventure, but Wyatt soon realizes it’s far from luxurious, and there’s also poison oak, bugs, and rattlesnakes to watch out for. Gavin is always there to lend a hand and really wants them all to have fun. Afterall, that’s what Camp Acorn is all about, teaching adults how to have fun and survive in the wilderness, even if they complain the whole time.

Jordan Amid’s family has always been connected to the other side of the veil, but they follow a long tradition of secrecy, not telling outsiders all they can do. When an insistent spirit keeps showing up in the middle of the night, he knows he can’t keep it all from Bran any longer. Throwing his spirit from his body is only one of the skills he has, but he’s not sure its time to admit everything yet.
Bran Tanda is finally starting to accept and understand more of his necromancer abilities, but he’s still hesitant to embrace all the powers he knows he possesses, and even though he’s avoided the witches in his mother’s coven his ability is not only one they’re interested in.
Jordan’s family has kept their abilities secret for generations. Mostly to protect themselves from being used in ways that could bring more power to some at the expense of others. Especially when one of those secrets involves the ancient enemy that’s been behind most of the strange happenings around town. Jordan and Bran’s abilities will be tested, along with their relationship. More than their relationship will suffer if they fail.

Months have passed since the gangsters and the men from The Base ventured to the island of horrors to rescue their loved ones stolen from them.
Abandoned after the rescue, the island has been taken over by human sex traffickers and turned into a “holding cell” for trafficked victims awaiting auction. Agent Alvarez and his band of rogue agents follow a lead to the rock of horrors just off the coast of Costa Rica. The former nightmare of The Island has grown, and this time, a lone team may not be enough to take down the ringleaders and rescue the innocent trapped in the bowels of the horror show.

Eighteen months and a dozen cabin renovations later, they finally open and the first group to rent the compound in its entirety was a summer camp for littles.

Kyler and Mark had no idea what lay ahead for them nor how much this rowdy group would upend their lives—in the best of ways.

Excerpt: Muttering beneath my breath, I turned to grab the notepad I’d thrown on my work bench, nearly colliding with Olly, who as usual, had a big, cheerful smile on his face. My brother was the most charming wolverine I had ever met, especially on our old man’s side of the family. Having witnessed Olly’s mother’s spectacular array of shittiness over the years, I could say with all certainty, that he hadn’t gotten his disposition from her, either.
Everyone said I took after Uncle Ransom, who took a greeting of good morning as both a personal threat and an insult, often snarling back who said I want it to be.
“Sorry,” Olly said. “I’d have said something, but your lips were moving so I figured you were talking to yourself again.”
“I was, thanks for not interrupting,” I replied. “What did you need?”
“Got a customer looking for something very specific. Is it okay to bring them back or do you want them to wait until you bring the new pieces out onto the floor?” Olly asked. “I’ll tell him whatever you’d like if you don’t want him back here.”
“I know, that’s why I appreciate you being here,” I told him, trying to smile, because it always made my brother smile more. “You can bring him back. I’ve got to take off and pick up a few things once they’re finished. Want anything for lunch?”
“Fried clams?”
“You and your damn fried clams,” I grumbled, chuckling a little. “You’re gonna turn into a clam one day, I swear, and you know what will happen then.”
“Yeah, yeah, you’ll toss me in the pot with the rest of the ingredients for a clam broil and that will be the end of me,” Olly replied, giggling all the way back to the front.
He returned a few minutes later with a man wearing the brightest ensemble to enter the shop since we’d opened. A sweet scent wafted my way when the man offered his hand in introduction.
“Thank you so much for letting me come back here,” the man said. “I’m August, and this place is fabulous.”
“I….”
For a moment, I forgot my name. Between the sunny yellow shirt, pink shorts, yellow shorts with thin pink pinstripes, yellow socks and pink sneakers, August reminded me of my favorite candy. Strawberry lemonade twists, extra sour. August’s hair was even streaked with vivid shades of pink, yellow and lavender, and dammit all, he smelled like candy. That sweet, sweet smell was coming from him.
“He’s Gregor,” Olly said while I stood there blinking. “Sometimes he forgets how to form words, but that’s okay, because his hands never forget what they’re supposed to be doing. He’s really good with them.”
While my mind tried to process if Olly had really said what I thought he said, August giggled, slapping a hand over his mouth while his eyes lit up so bright they practically sparkled. The moment Olly realized how his words could be taken he started giggling too, while I snorted and suddenly found myself chuckling too.
What the hell?
Now that I started, I couldn’t stop, which just seemed to fuel their giggles, creating an endless loop of laughter. I was just glad that no one else was in the shop to see or hear the chicanery, or they might have called for a welfare check, to see what Olly and August had done to one of the town’s snarliest wolverines.
“I-I can’t stop looking at his hands now,” August choked out, which made Olly snort and laugh harder.
