Congratulations Laura

on the release today of

Go For Love!

Go for Love by Laura Chapman
Go for Love series, book #1

103 pages
Publication Date: April 28, 2020

Tech start-up darling Sarah Burton is branching out with a new company aimed at connecting adventurous professionals with overseas companies—like grown-up study abroad. When a glitch threatens her launch, only one person can help.

Beck Spencer swore he’d never give his ex-girlfriend another chance to break his heart. But with his own business in need of cash, and the big money she's offering, he can’t say no. To taking her on as a client or falling for her all over again.

Despite their attempts to keep it professional, the spark between Sarah and Beck reignites hotter than ever. Is this their second chance at true love? Or will the differences that drove them apart keep them from being together?

Go for Love is a standalone romantic comedy series about strong women looking for adventure and finding surprise romance around the world and the men who join them along the way. Go for Love is a prequel novella—no cliffhanger.

My thoughts about Go for Love ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"Spending a few days without the Internet wouldn't kill Sarah Burton. But it just might bury her career six feet under. She could practically read the tombstone."

I always know when I start a Laura Chapman story that I'm going to be able to escape the 'real world' for a little while and start an exciting, fun adventure. Go for Love is all that, and more. Her stories always feel so real to me, with characters who I'd want as friends.

This was a quick read—a sweet, entertaining novella that is kicking off a new series for Laura, promising more fun and oodles of adventures. I can't wait! Check it out!! 

Book #2 releasing on May 26!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? April 27, 2020

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

**************************************

Week 7—We got an email from work late Friday afternoon informing us that we will not be coming back to work on May 15 like originally planned. We will continue to work remotely until May 31. And who knows after that? But...... this will not affect me after the 21st because (drum roll, please) I am RETIRING effective May 21!!

This is something I have been thinking about and planning for, for awhile now. Hubs has been retired for 6 years already and and I had a milestone birthday last week so we figured it was time. [Pop over to my birthday post and leave a comment to enter my birthday giveaway!] We had plans to do some traveling right away but that will be put on hold for now. I will say, it'll be nice to have the summer off, even if we can't go anywhere. More reading time for me!!
   

Take care. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

And remember to wash those hands!!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!

Release Day! Love in Charge by Jules Dixon, Laura Chapman, and Michelle Morgan #LoveInCharge

Love in Charge: Powerful Women, Powerful Love by Jules Dixon, Laura Chapman, and Michelle Morgan
Release Date: September 1, 2019
Available Formats: eBook and paperback on Amazon
Purchase from Amazon for only $3.99

When this woman steps into a room, heads turn and people listen. Whether she's commanding a new business venture, coaching a collegiate football team, or diagnosing and healing people, she's focused, influential, and passionate, and she's not about to apologize for it.

But there is loneliness and fear she can't ignore, and questions soon follow. Is a second chance meant to be, when the first was a disaster? Is her distrust of all men warranted when only one has truly ever hurt her? Can she set aside an age difference to find love?

Most of all...when a man who is everything she's never realized she wanted is right in front of her, will she be ready for the biggest undertaking of her life?

Lose yourself in these three novellas of powerful women learning that sometimes love is the one in charge.

All earnings from this anthology will be donated to the GLSEN Omaha chapter. GLSEN Omaha's mission is to "ensure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression."

About the stories

Go for Love

by Laura Chapman

When a glitch threatens Sarah Burton’s start-up launch, only one person can help. Beck Spencer swore he’d never give her another chance to break his heart, but he can’t say no to this offer. Despite keeping it professional, the spark between them might reignite hotter than ever.

Her Playbook

by Jules Dixon

Head football coach Hazel Stone’s childhood showed her she’d never trust another man. Payne Maxwell’s scarred face isn’t his deepest wound. Their attraction is a touchdown, but when Hazel finds a discrepancy in the department’s finances with Payne’s name attached, not to mention that he’s the ex-head coach’s son, foul flags fly in her head. When it comes to love, what play will be the right one?

No Turning Back

by Michelle Morgan

36-year-old chiropractor Cara Mann was doing just fine running her own practice and raising her young daughter—alone. When she hires Jack Dennis—the nerdy kid she used to babysit—for computer help in her office, he’s nothing like she remembers. But he certainly hasn’t forgotten her. Even if Cara can accept the help and support Jack is eager to offer, can she learn to love a much younger man?
