Almost Perfect (Perfect Trilogy) [Kindle Edition]
by Julie Ortolon
Maddy, the artistic gypsy of the group, must face her fear of rejection to get her artwork in a gallery. A job as arts director at a summer camp near Santa Fe seems like a start in the right direction.
There’s just one catch: The camp is run by Maddy’s high school flame, Joe, now an ex-Army Ranger, whose heart she broke—okay, smashed. His anger towards Maddy hasn’t cooled one bit. But neither has their attraction. Old desires burn hotter than ever as the two face the biggest fear of all: giving love a second chance.

Z (A Novel) [Kindle Edition]
After years living of living in Los Angeles, novelist Nix Carter returns home to Connecticut to care for her ailing father. As she reconnects with childhood friends, she encounters a window washer who also happens to live in a mansion, throw lavish parties and go by the name of Zorro. Yes, Zorro. But is he really the caped man of legend? Or just an eccentric who drives a horse-drawn cart and wears a cape while washing windows? And what will happen when the townspeople who once flocked to his parties and drank his champagne become suspicious of him?
A contemporary re-visioning of The Great Gatsby, Z is a smart, quirky novel that has it all: comedy, drama, romance, adventure, even swordplay.

Redneckedness: Living with, loving & surviving a redneck [Kindle Edition]
by Kit Frazier (Author)
True confessions of an award-winning writer who tripped over a cowboy and wound up up to her eyelashes in cowboys, cow poo and more rednecks than you can shake a stick at . . .~Grandma Jessie used to say there are only three kinds of men in this world: the ones you play with, the ones you stay with and the ones who just need killin’.
With a redneck, you get a three-fer. I know this because I went through all three of these stages with a redneck of my very own.
And she warned me, the only difference between a redneck and a monkey is better use of opposable thumbs and the ability to buy beer.


Kit – I read both Z (A novel) and Bro-Magnet recently and now I have a massive Fan Girl crush on Lauren. The ONLY complaint I had about Bro-Magnet was that the end was predictible. This was absolutely not a problem with Z – couldn’t put it down. Raved on and on about it on twitter until Ms. Baratz-Logsted actually replied – lol.
Everyone else – GET SCOOP – get REDNECKEDNESS!!!! OMG – what a deal. You will laugh your a** off! I <3 Kit.
