Love's Sorrow

Means of Mercy #1

Sweet, Historical Romance

by http://www.terrirochenski.com/" target="_blank">Terri Rochenski

Release Date: April 21, 2014




Hired as a nanny for her cousin’s children, Anne Tearle finds security and a loving family. The children are a dream, but London society is a world of its own, one where a displaced farm girl has no business being. But, wealthy rake, Gavin MacKay, helps her to see associating with the upper class might not be as horrid as she first assumed.


Like all things worthwhile, love comes at a price, and the cost soon bestows more anguish than joy. Lost, but not undone, Anne must find the courage to begin life anew, or succumb to sorrow's unrelenting waves of grief.







The first in the Means of Mercy series, this historical romance has been likened to Downton Abby.


And Roane Publishing is giving away THREE ARC copies to three lucky winners!

You have until Midnight of April 12th when three winners will be chosen by random drawing.

Review: Falling (Falling Angels Saga Book 4) by E. Van Lowe

This, my friends, is Falling,  the final installment in the Falling Angels Saga by E. Van Lowe. I have been a huge fan of this series for years and it is bitter sweet to see it come to an end.

I was lucky enough to receive and ARC of this novel, and I tore through it like someone was going to steal it back out of my hot little hands.

As always, Van Lowe's story telling is seamless. We pick up after Megan has had an episode of "Bad Megan" showing up at school in her place, and she learns her alter ego has landed her in a serious pot of hot water. As Megan fights to keep herself from becoming Satan's bride, the twists and turns of the Devil's handiwork make the trials and tribulations of teenage life that much harder to overcome. With the help of those closest to her, Megan uses her smarts and her strengths to find an answer to the seemingly impossible fate before her, and learns a very valuable lesson about honesty and friendship along the way.

All of the saga's characters return, including Aunt Jazz  (who is forever my favorite), Harrison (who is always played by Matthew McConaughey in my head) and the frustratingly angelic Rocky (who I will never like), even Matt shows up when we least expect him.

In a sea of dark and gritty YA, E. Van Lowe's Falling Angels Saga gives readers a hopeful tale of love, friendship, and family. One of the things that makes me love this series so much is knowing that when my daughters get older, as they are eager to read about love triangles and the dark parts of this world, I can hand them this series and be confident that they are reading about a strong role model who learns and grows and loves – not just a boy – but her family, her friends, and most importantly, herself.

Falling releases on March 13th but you can add it to your Goodreads list today!

Guess What?! I'm in the For the Love of Murphy Anthology!

Yes, this is a very late and very last minute announcement. But it's great fantabulous amazing news.

I'm proud to announce that I ail leave a short story titled Coffee and Cufflinks in the 
anthology coming out March 17th! 





Fresh out of a failed relationship and exhausted by a constant barrage of fiascos at work, Olivia Johnson can’t see that the man of her dreams is right in front of her. Though she tells herself the morning coffee meet-ups with Daren are nothing but coincidence, she can’t deny his unequivocal attractiveness. As a night on the town entertaining clients takes a turn for the worst, her failures start to look a lot more like fate when Daren shows up where she least expects him. 

Maybe everything really does happen for a reason?

They say, if you love someone set them free. So why can’t Hannah let go?  

Hannah Sullivan has spent the past three months stalking her ex-boyfriend, lurking in the bushes and hiding behind fake social media personas, convinced she can eventually rekindle the love they once shared. But when she meets Marc, who is everything James never wanted to be and more, she begins to wonder if she’s got it all wrong. 


Hannah must come to terms with her own demons before she can decipher between her delusional mission and the man of her dreams.










Excerpt: 


Heat from the ancient laptop battery warmed Hannah's legs through her yellow and green plaid pajama pants. She considered putting a pillow between herself and the overheated computer, but the slight burn contrasted nicely against the icy cold permeating her fingers and toes. 
The scrap of lined paper at her side had an energy all its own. Hannah couldn't resist rubbing the torn edge between her forefinger and thumb. Over and over and over, she traced the fibers fringed along the uneven rectangle, a random combination of letters and numbers scrawled across it in deep indigo ink. It'd taken three straight days of working out various patterns and placement, but she'd eventually stumbled across the right amalgamation. Three capital letters—a tricky, but prudent measure when one intended to keep out hackers. 
Hannah brought up the university student registration page, clicking through the various links and tabs until the blinking cursor stared at her, waiting for her to enter the perm number and password. 
She heard her roommates, Amanda and Kymberlie come home. Their increased volume and fits of laughter provided all the information she needed to figure out where the pair had spent their Saturday night. The streets of Isla Vista were always a cornucopia of keg parties and backyard bonfires, but being of legal age, they no longer subjected themselves to the annoyance of freshman follies. 
  " Hannah   !" Kymberlie hollered from the living room. 
"I'm here. I'm registering for classes. Be out in a minute!" Hannah ’s began to shake as she typed in the student identification number—she knew it by heart—then the password. 
Chewing on the raw, exposed skin of her thumb, she watched the gray circle fill in one millimeter at a time while the computer script decided if she possessed the magic words. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon…" Legs outstretched and crossed at the ankle, her feet wiggled, while anticipation ate at her insides. "Yeeeesss," she said when the page finally loaded.
