You don’t have to read them in any particular order. They stand alone, but you might see some fun cameos!
Here’s a little more about my book in the series: A Messed-Up Match
A Kindergarten teacher with fears to overcome.
An infamous blogger and magazine writer with a cynical view.
And one romantic week that will bring second chances.
Neeley Valentine has spent nearly all of her savings to participate in a matchmaking week on Joy Island in the Bahamas. But she’s not looking for a love connection so much as someone who will force her out of her comfort zone.
Pax Cannon is known to the online world as the Love Curmudgeon, and he’s ready to prove in one of his biggest articles yet that matchmaking weeks are a joke and men should run as fast they can from them.
When one of the resort’s rules is broken, bringing these two together, neither are prepared for the unexpected twists and turns that will school them on the subject of love.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy the read and share the good news with friends!
Warmly,
Jess

Thanks for playing. The contest is now closed and the winner has been notified. For those of you who guessed if Melanie’s excerpt below was a “kiss or miss” it was a MISS! I’m going to call it a miss!

Using Rafflecopter, we’ll draw two winners on Tuesday, January 31st and announce them on Wednesday, February 1st!
Check out the prize packages:
Wake up to THE good book with a journal for notes, a cup of pumpkin spice coffee in a sweet Fort Brag mug, and a two good books! And hey, don’t forget sweet treats, more coffee (or tea) from Starbucks ($10)!
…this author gave to me…
10 copies of Concealed Identity!
And 10 adorbs Christmas ornaments but that didn’t rhyme so…
I am so excited to be a part of the 12 Days of Christmas! Just look at the graphic to see how amazing it is! Each day a new author will be giving away a fun prize (books included) and YOU could win! All you have to do is enter the giveaway below!
My newest book has some Christmas elements in it. For example, my heroine, Blair Sullivan is obsessed with Christmas (she has reasons) and that’s why she’s named her antique store It’s a Wonderful Life. She even has a bell above the door so an angel can get its wings (like, she knows this isn’t real, it’s nostalgia) and her sweet little shop that’s set in the quaint and quirky small town of Hope, TN is decorated like Christmas 24/7. Yeah, my hero, Holt finds it weird but as he gets to know Blair and falls in love with her, he discovers it’s rather endearing.
Tomorrow, you’ll have a chance to enter again (enter each day if you want!) to receive Gabrielle Meyer’s, A Family Arrangement! CLICK HERE to go to her website.
Have you missed the chance to enter to win on Day 1 or Day 2? Well, here you go! Go enter!

Hey ya’ll! I can’t believe Protective Duty is out in the world! So many of you who read Fatal Reunion asked about Eric Hale and I’m so excited to share his story with you. I decided to get chummy with my cast of characters and get some real talk. But I’m not asking the questions. Nope. Instead, my Patch Pack team who helps me spread the word about my books through word of mouth, reviews, and other cool ways asked most of these babies and they were so fun.
Shout out to my Patch Pack! I love ya’ll so much. Thank you for all your support, the laughs, the conversations on our facebook page, and the prayers. I treasure each one of you.
So let’s get on with the show, shall we?
This first question comes from Susan Snodgrass and it’s for Eric.
Eric: Awesome. I love being first. Susan, thanks!
Me: You don’t even know the question yet.
Eric: So.
Me: Susan asks why you think you’re a Jedi.
Eric: Maybe you should ask Luke Ransom. I don’t want to seem all puffed up….Okay, I’ll tell you. I have this thing I do where I give a suspect the look. I stare him down and will him to speak and he does. I can make just about anyone talk. But I kind of get Luke. Not Ransom. Skywalker. I mean he had a pretty intimidating father. Like mine. Of course, my dad never cut my arm off, but then he wanted me to use it play pro golf so there’s that. Also, when I was five, I was vicious with a light saber. Just sayin’.
Me: Susan, I don’t know if that answers your question or not, but there ya go. The next question comes from Gayle Adams and it’s for Newton! Yes, the puppy. Aw. Newt, were you scared when the truck tried to run ya’ll over?
Newton: I peed a little. A lot really. I’m a pup. I have a hard time holding it in. Just ask Bryn. Sorry about the kitchen…and the carpet. Really. I’ll get better.
The next two questions come from Charissa Kerley.
Bryn, do you watch Star Wars movies with Eric?
Bryn: I have seen Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi–the original trilogy with him when we dated ten years ago. I have seen them multiple times. By multiple I mean too many to count. When I found out Eric’s partner at the precinct was Luke Ransom I thought, “How many times has Eric said, ‘Luke, I am your father.'”
Eric: Actually, that’s the first thing I said when I met him.
Me: How did he respond?
Eric: I got the eyebrow raise and, “So about this case…”
Bryn: As far as the new movies…truth is I didn’t see them because seeing them without Eric hurt too much.
Eric: Well guess what we’re doing Friday night, babe?
Bryn: Thanks, Charissa, you’re a real peach. *inserts heavy sarcasm*
Charissa: Eric, what is your favorite Star Wars movie?
Eric: Empire Strikes Back. Hands down. One hand if you’re Luke. Hey wasn’t that a movie? One Hand Luke.
Bryn: That was Cool Hand Luke. With Newman.
Eric: Riiiight. Yeah.
Me: Okay, moving right along. The next question comes from Denise Hershberger. It’s for Bryn. When did you start swimming?
Bryn: I was probably two. I always loved the water. We were in Florida, I think. And I just jumped in and of course my dad jumped in, panicked…but I rose to the top and just swam. All by myself. After that, my parents put in a pool and I did take lessons. After that it was history.
Eric: I was twelve if anyone wants to know when I started swimming.
Bryn: Nobody does.
Eric: Harsh, babe.
Me: Susan Tuttle asks Eric, if there was a worldwide licorice shortage what would be your next vice?
Eric: I can tell you it won’t be Kale. Oh man, I couldn’t imagine that. I’m totally stumped. Meatloaf, maybe.
Bryn: Oh jeez! How about Dum Dums?
Eric: I’m feeling some subtext here.
Bryn: Must be your Jedi senses.
Eric: Probably so. Good call, babe.
Me: Susan also wants to know if you’d fall for Bryn if she has an allergy to licorice.
Eric: I’d give it up cold turkey. Because I like kissing Bryn way more than eating licorice. And she can make meatloaf…now.
Bryn: *rolls eyes*
Okay, ya’ll thanks for joining real talk! I hope you’ll buy the book and check out this fun and crazy cast!
Hi everyone! Protective Duty, my 2nd Love Inspired Suspense, just released on Kindle today and the paperback releases on shelves and online retailers June 7th! I’m so excited to share Eric Hale’s story with you.
To celebrate, I’m giving away a BEACH READ prize package to one winner!
Included is: A fun beach bag, beach towel, bandana, flip flops (will get the size from the winner after the drawing ends), a sweet tea and sunshine tumbler, and a signed paperback copy of Protective Duty! Yay!
