While Emlyn Chand's Alex from Farsighted is my literary boyfriend, Ethan in Walk Away With Me is my real life boyfriend in book character form minus the dogs!

This wonderful novel by Darby Davenport is like Must Love Dogs but pulls on your heart strings more and has more dogs involved! This is the first book in the Loving Nature series and tells a wonderful story about finding love when you weren't necessarily looking for it to begin with.

In honor of the release of Darby Davenport's first novel, "Walk Away With Me" here's a peek at the first chapter just for you, so you too can dive into the loveable, sexy world that is this book!! (By the way there's a giveaway going on over this away!)

CHARLIE The scrawny Rottweiler's eyes connected with Charlie's through the TV screen, begging her to save him.

What if nobody else calls in? What if I'm his last chance at finding a home? Well, crap. I can't just let him die. She grabbed her cell phone, called the local news station hosting the adoptable pets segment, and signed on the dotted line. Not once did she think she might be making a mistake. Not once did she consider the fact she'd been unable to commit to a man—or even a roommate—longer than two measly months.

And now she planned to commit to a one-year-old canine coming straight from a neglected past?

Well, adventure had certainly found her, whether she'd asked for it or not.

The rescue volunteers didn't ask many questions before inviting her to visit the kennel and come pick him up. If they had, maybe she'd have changed her mind.

She might have seen this as a move with the potential of becoming the biggest mistake of her entire life. Worse than the time she'd left mid-semester her junior year to travel to India in search of the answer to life. Worse than the time she'd got so caught up in the cinematic excitement of V for Vendetta she'd shaved her head in homage. Even worse than the time she'd practically eloped with a guy she'd only dated three weeks, because it seemed like a good and wildly romantic idea at the time.

At least she'd talked herself out of that one.

But what good did escaping one bad decision do her, if she'd just replaced it with another by committing herself to a strange dog for, at minimum, the next ten years?

Charlie took a deep breath and gripped the steering wheel until her knuckles turned white. No going back now. She may have been impulsive, but she had a heart, damn it, and she wouldn't abandon a dog no one else wanted in the first place. Definitely too late to change her mind at this point. "Now or never," she said to the hula dancer figurine on her dashboard before grabbing her purse and slamming the car door behind her.

"Oh, you must be Charlotte Rockwell." A volunteer with a sloppy button-up shirt and a way-too-large smile greeted her the second she entered the shelter.

She nodded, pretending her feet were one million pound weights gluing her to the linoleum floor below—the only way she'd be able to avoid making a break for it.

"I'm Angela. Come on and follow me to the back." Her oversized smile grew even larger as she turned and trotted toward the back of the building.

Charlie's eyes darted to the floor to check if Angela's shoes sported actual springs.

"I'm sure Ruby told you everything you need to know when she stopped by for the home check, right?"

She nodded, even though she didn't have the slightest idea who Ruby was. The woman certainly hadn't been by her house for a visit.

"Perfect! Rugby's such a sweet boy once you get to know him. I'm so glad he's finally found a good home. You must be thrilled."

'Once you get to know him?' What does that mean? She was this close to changing her mind and dashing straight out of there, but when they pushed through the large metal door to the kennel, Rugby glanced up at her with those same sad eyes that had melted her heart in the first place.

She was screwed.

"Hi, Rugby," Angela cooed in a goochy-goo voice. "Look who it is. Your new mommy's come to take you home. Who's a good boy? Yes, you are."

Charlie sank to a squatting position and stuck her index finger through the metal fencing.

Rugby stretched and raised himself into a sitting position. He sniffed her hand delicately and gave her a huge sloppy lick.

"Oh, see. You two are perfect! Best buds already," Angela squealed. She rattled off a litany of instructions, shoved the folder of paperwork into one hand, and the leash to Charlie's new 115-pound baby in the other, and together dog and woman headed home.

A Girl Trapped in a Mansion . . . A Mysterious Old Woman . . . The Boy Who Will Change Everything . . . Hi ya guys! Today ...

Hi ya guys! Today we have been graced by the lovely Cindy Bennett with another amazing book!

Rapunzel Untangled is a wonderful new re-telling of the story of Rapunzel. In Bennett's version of one of my favorite tales, Rapunzel as we know her doesn't exist so this story can exist. It's set in modern times in a cute small town in California. Rapunzel is locked away in her tower and is completely unaware of the world outside her tower. Gothel, her mother for all intensive purposes (we know she's bad, you've seen Tangled right? By the way totally imagined Gothel looking like her counterpart in Tangled the WHOLE time!) has made up the notion that Rapunzel is to fulfill a prophecy that Gothel is very vague about, but it includes the non-cutting of her long locks.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, the wonderful Sophie Jordan has released a novella in her Forgotten Princess series, The Earl in My Bed! From the description, it is not going to disappoint!

Intended for one man ...
All her life, everyone assumed Paget Ellsworth, the vicar’s daughter, would marry the Earl of Winningham’s youngest son. And when he left for war with his older brother, Jamie, words and promises were not necessary. She would wait.
But destined for another …
Four years pass, and the death of his father forces Jamie home to take up the reins as the new earl, leaving his brother fighting on the front lines a world away. Maddening, infuriating, sexy Jamie makes Paget question her feelings. One glimpse, one word from him awakens desire in her heart. When a simple kiss spirals out of control at the annual Valentine’s Day ball, she realizes the man she never wanted is the man she needs ... but will Paget cast aside all she’s ever thought to be true to win the man of her dreams?
