Excerpt:

Lina gasped in horror, her hand covering her mouth as bile threatened in her throat. Her wolf had killed animals but never battled a shifter. If watching this horrified her, how was she going to protect Dakota? She stepped back from the door and leaned on the counter. She watched the wolf drag the body toward the back of the yard and disappear behind the utility shed. The wolf reappeared and then sniffed the air. She watched it walk the perimeter of the yard and then look up at the hills behind the property. Was he going to leave her here to investigate further?

She started toward the door to go outside but then she saw the wolf turn back toward the house. He ran across the yard and up the steps. Suddenly, Ramos was standing there as black fur disappeared across his skin. She opened the door and he stepped inside. He was naked and blood smears glistened on his skin and face. “Are you all right?” she exclaimed in a loud whisper even as her gaze traveled over him searching for wounds, but not missing the way his body seemed sculpted out of muscle. He’s gorgeous!

Yes, he is! I want to meet his wolf.

Hush, Wolf!

“I’m all good,” Ramos said moving past her to the sink. “Some scratches, but they’ll heal.” He grabbed a bottle of water and started cleaning blood from his face, hands, and arms.

Lina moved behind him and grabbed a package of wipes. “Here,” she said setting it next to the sink. “These will help.” She moved to stand by the door because if she continued to watch him, she was going to succumb to the temptation to run her hands over that beautiful body.

“He must’ve followed your wolf here. He was going to set up a watch on the porch until dark,” she heard him say. She turned to look at him.

“How do you know that?” she asked.

He looked at her as he scrubbed his face with a wet wipe. “My wolf read his thoughts.”

“You can do that?” she asked with wide eyes.

“Of course…Elysians can read thoughts anytime but as shifters, we can read thoughts when we’re in our animals.”

“Wait…Elysians can read our minds?” When he looked at her strangely and nodded as he slid a wipe over his chest and down his belly, she suddenly understood why Calian and the other Elysians seemed two steps ahead of her all the time. She looked away. Was that how Calian had known her name? And if shifters could read other people’s thoughts while in their animal then that shifter and Elysian had to have heard her thoughts the night before. “I didn’t know that,” she said and moved to sit in the chair he had been sitting in when she came back from hunting. You never told me that, Wolf.

You didn’t ask.

Lina huffed out a breath. What else don’t I know?

I want to meet his wolf. 

Stop! I’m not going to let you tangle with his wolf.

I don’t want to fight him. Her wolf seemed to make a cooing sound.

Review of the upcoming psychological thriller, THE WIDOW BRIDE by Carey Baldwin


Coming Soon! March 11, 2024

As I look down to the beautiful arch set up on the beach for our wedding, I have to stop myself running into Blake’s arms. It’s so soon after my first husband passed away—but Blake and I are meant to be... aren’t we? There are no family or friends beaming at me this time, but everything is perfect… isn’t it?

Since I lost my first husband, Blake has been there for me, showering me with gifts and affection, holding my hand as I go back into the world. He’s the only one who truly understands what I’ve been through. How hard it’s been on me. So, when Blake insisted we keep our elopement a secret, I agreed. But, now, it feels wrong to walk down the aisle between empty chairs.

As I step in front of the officiant with my husband-to-be, I think back to my last conversation with my first husband’s sister. Should I have listened when she tried to warn me about Blake’s past?

Maybe it’s just wedding day nerves… But when I meet Blake’s brown eyes, there’s something dark in them I’ve never seen before. He grips my wrist to put the ring on my finger, and a shiver runs down my spine when he says, “Finally, you’re mine.”

I remember my sister-in-law’s warning and I tremble. But it’s too late to turn back now.

Marrying him is the only option because I have secrets of my own.

Blake may think he knows me, but he has no idea who he’s really dealing with…

A completely gripping psychological thriller which will have you reading late into the night until you reach the final shocking twist. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us and The Perfect Marriage.

****

Love. Betrayal. Forgiveness. 

Love comes in all forms—family, spouses, and friends.

Betrayal can destroy love in an instant.

As for forgiveness, it can be difficult and doesn’t always come, but sometimes forgiving yourself is all that’s needed. 

The Widow Bride by Carey Baldwin is a psychological thriller about all three. A new exciting and addicting read from the amazing author of psychological thrillers, Carey Baldwin will keep you on the edge of your seat. It will keep you guessing and rethinking your guesses until the very end, and then the end will flip you upside down. I can’t tell you any more than that without giving away spoilers, so I’m not. I’m just going to tell you that if you love a good tale of mystery and suspense, and enjoy the need to know what happens next and who the bad guy is and who isn’t, read The Widow Bride. You won’t regret it! 

I highly recommend The Widow Bride, a new psychological thriller by Carey Baldwin, if you’re a fan of edge-of-the-seat thrillers that keep you reading late into the night—just make sure you leave some time for sleep or you’ll end up doing a long day on only two hours of sleep like I did. Pre-Order your copy now! Releasing on March 11, 2024, and available in digital, audiobook, and print at Amazon, and print at Barnes and Noble.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Unwrapping a Spotlight/Guest Post for JOSHUA, a Risking Love novel by Callie Carmen

Hi to all my lovely readers, I hope you’re all well and staying safe. Today, I’m thrilled to spotlight a new book coming from Callie Carmen, author of the Risking Love series. JOSHUA (book 5) is now available for Pre-Order and will be officially releasing on December 1, 2020. You can pre-order it now for 99¢!

Amazon

Blurb for JOSHUA:

Bella spent the last year with a man that barely touched her. It was high time that she got some hot, passionate sex. The only problem was it couldn’t be with just anybody. It had to be with someone special.

Should she choose the gorgeous club owner? Or the mysterious, sexy businessman? Which of them would let her explore a secret desire for a little non-vanilla passion in and out of the bedroom? 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 

In the meantime, I’m turning the blog over to Callie so she can tell you a bit more about the book and what inspired the setting for JOSHUA, as well as share an excerpt with you. Enjoy!

Callie, welcome to Unwrapping Romance. It’s a delight to have you here and I wish you much success with JOSHUA and your ongoing series.

Hi Amy,

Thank you for having me on your wonderful blog today.

Bella brought Joshua to her family’s cottage on the lake for their second date. She wanted some alone time with him before he left for the United Kingdom.


 When I researched the horse ranches of Kentucky, I found this lovely Winfield Ranch. It is much like the Winfield family farm where Josh grew up. If you are interested in starting your own horse ranch this one is on sale for only $2,900,000. Get those checkbooks out!

 

Josh has two women in his life and because of a family emergency he finds himself having to bring both home with him at the same time.

Click the link to see a video of the Three Chimney’s Farm which was home to Seattle Slew. http://www.threechimneys.com/

It is similar to the Winfield’s farm where Josh learned to ride and care for their thoroughbred horses. It was worth watching to see how beautifully these horses are cared for. 

In case, you haven’t seen enough this site has a video of the gorgeous Claiborne Farm which had been home to Secretariat. https://claibornefarm.com/visit/  

Scroll down the website page to find the video.


Excerpt from JOSHUA:

 Bella

    Ava got out of the truck and hugged Josh. It felt like a slap to my face.

She peeked around his shoulder and looked at me like I had two heads.

“Who’s this?” She didn’t smile.

Josh introduced us. Not as my girlfriend Bella. Just Bell. I had to admit that was my fault. After all, I had told him I was going to date while he was away. He didn’t introduce her as his girlfriend, Ava. Just Ava.

“It was nice to meet you, Bella. I hope you understand, but Josh and I have to hit the road. We’ve got a plane to catch.”

She climbed into the driver’s seat, and he looked at me and winced. He put out his hand to help me into the truck. I didn’t take it. There was no way I was sitting next to her. I shook my head, and he took the hint and climbed into the middle seat. As I climbed in, I heard him tell blondie I was coming.

“What? Is she taking the truck back home for you?”

“No, I’m taking her home with me.”

I reached for my seatbelt looked up and saw her eyes had rounded and her hand squeezed his forearm. She pulled away when she saw me watching. She wanted nothing to do with me going on this trip.
