It was brought to my attention today that I haven’t posted in a while and that is so not like me. So here I am. My computer had to be totally reset back to factory and it is a pain to get it back to the way it was before.
I am at a stand still in my weight loss journey and I am a little bummed about it. Ok, before this starts to sounds like a really bad country song, on to good things!
I got my new Kindle Paperwhite this past week!!! So far I love it!!!!!!!! I got a USB fiber optic xmas tree for my office. I know too early, but it is keeping me happy so I don’t care.
Anyway, I have to talk about the great, the fabulous Maya Banks. A couple of weeks ago, Maya released a new series independently, Tangled Hearts Trilogy. Now, I don’t know about you, but I own every book Maya has ever released for a reason. She writes romances that make me laugh, cry, frustrated, happy, sad, scared and anything else you can think of in one book. I have yet to read anything that Maya has written that made me say “I could have gone without reading it”.
The first book in the Tangled Hearts Trilogy is Theirs to Keep. Here is the cover and the blurb:
“When Cade Walker and Merrick Sullivan find Elle hiding in the cabinet of a gun store, they know they can’t just walk away from the fragile woman with no memory of who she is or who tried to kill her. Merrick is training for the title shot in the heavyweight division as a mixed martial artist and can’t afford distractions, but neither can he turn his back on the woman who tugs at his heartstrings.
Elle feels safe with her two protectors, and the longer she spends with them, the more she realizes that she has no desire to remember her past. Not when it could compromise her future with Cade and Merrick.
Cade has his own set of concerns when it comes to Elle, and it quickly becomes clear to the two men that for the first time in their friendship, a woman is coming between them. But what if they just kept her there? Between them. Where she belongs.”
I liked this book so much, that after I started writing this post last week, I read it again!! Elle is the damsel in distress and Merrick and Cade are definitely the heros anyone would want them to rescue. Merrick is the closed off fighter who loves has hard as he fights. Cade wears his heart on his sleeve and is proud of it. Alpha males that love as hard as they play always get my motor revving!
According to Maya’s website, “Maya will be self publishing the Tangled Hearts trilogy…… but it WILL be available via print on demand but it will only be available to order online and will not be stocked in physical book stores as her other books are.
The Tangled Hearts trilogy will be published in ADDITION to all of Maya’s regularly scheduled books and won’t interfere with the publication schedule of her existing books. Because she will be writing these and fitting them into an already crowded schedule, she won’t announce the publication dates for Always Mine (book 2) or Forever Ours (book 3) until she is certain that the date won’t change.
It is her hope for there not to be long periods of time between the release of the first book and subsequent books, and she’ll do her very best to get them into your hands as soon as humanly possible.
Because Maya is self publishing this trilogy, she will try to make it possible for ANYONE to be able to purchase and read the books which means there will be no geographical restrictions and they will be available worldwide to readers who are able to purchase digital books online as well as ordering the print edition online as well.
As always, the minute Maya has information on release dates, the information will be posted on this website, Facebook and Twitter as well as be announced in her newsletter to subscribers.”
Thank you for keeping us informed Maya. I can’t wait for Always Mine to come out. I hope it is soon!
Theirs to keep is a definite 5❤ book.

I was so pysched over the new Tangled Series one second and heart broken the next. Why? The last Colters’ Legacy book also came out this past week, Colters’ Gift.
The Colters’ Legacy reading order is as follows:
1. Colters’ Woman (re-edited version also contains the Novella “Callie’s Meadow”)
2. Colters’ Lady
3. Colters’ Daughter
4. Colters’ Promise
5. Colters’ Gift (Bonus: Also Includes a New Original Colter Novella which is the official conclusion to the Colters’ Legacy Series)
Here is a blurb for Colters’ Gift:
“Lauren Wilder fell for the wrong man, trusted the wrong man, and she paid a very dear price for it. Now broken and wounded, she’s retreated to the bosom of the Colter family and the unshakeable love and support they offer. But the man she once loved and trusted is not without his own power, and he’ll use every bit of his money and resources to make sure he gets Lauren back, no matter whom he destroys doing it.
Liam and Noah were hired by Lauren’s brother to watch over her. But with danger looming, they head to the Colorado mountains—where Lauren has found temporary sanctuary. In her wounded eyes, Liam and Noah see the woman she once was—and could be again. They’re determined to show her everything a man can be—someone who will love her, cherish her, satisfy her, and when the time comes, put their very lives on the line for her.”
I highly recommend that if you don’t have this series already, please purchase it and read it from the beginning. If you have the whole series, read it from the beginning to the end so you can get the full affect of it. This isn’t just the “Colters’ Legacy”…..it is Maya’s . Through this entire Series Maya takes us through to three generations of Colters spanning I believe 35 years. I love that. I feel like a part of their family. Although I did not want to see this series to end, the way it was written, I have no questions or feeling of being left hanging. The story came full circle and I feel whole-heartedly satisfied. The last book, as well as the the entire series get a 5❤ rating.
