Thank You!

HELLO!

 

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating here in the US. Greetings and welcome to all others - including those of you joining me from the Buckeye Book Festival! 

 

While I'm sitting down inside my parents' home being treated to the mouthwatering aroma of a golden turkey and all the fixings being made (And yes - I baked, but I'm solidly on dish duty today!), I figured this would be the best time to share how grateful I am to all of you. 

 

Thank you to everyone who’s ever bought, read, checked out, requested, or talked about my books. You - the readers - are the lifeblood of all us authors, especially of all us Indie authors who are still able to notice each individual book sale! 

 

Thanks to all of you who attend book festivals  - book signings - neighborhood festivals where a lone author may have a small, anything-but-fancy booth set up with a handful of books stacked up in the hopes that they’ll discover a reader or two interested in reading a few chapters. 

 

Thanks to all of you who add our books to your TBRs - add star ratings - and even who take a few moments to write a quick review with so little as a “great book!”

 

The fact that you've all taken the time to visit the small town of Grant's Crossing means the absolute world to me!

 

You've made my year an absolutely fantastic year and I can't wait for you to see what's in store for in 2025.

 

THANK YOU!

 

Now if you'll indulge me a few tidbits of book updates… :-) 

• All eBooks - $3.99 each through New Year's! Enjoy!

Take care and happy reading!

Review - The Dating Dilemma

I am all over books with a fake dating trope. I don't know why I love these, but I do!

OK fine - probably because it gives the characters to really get to know each other and then find out that yeah - there is more than just the person's good looks - even if they aren't a strip-o-gram!!

Nobody's perfect, I suppose.

Enter The Dating Dilemma by Mariah Ankenman. It's book 2 in her Mile High Firefighters series of romantic comedies. The Wedding Dilemma is book 1 and while I only just today bought it, not having read it in no way took away from The Dating Dilemma. The story made for a fantastic stand-alone book that I nearly read in one sitting. I really shouldn't have started it so late last night, but hey. That's on me.

This had me laughing throughout and unable to turn the pages fast enough to get to the end.

From the back cover:

Lexi’s Reminders

* Work.

* Don’t think about your birthday tomorrow. Or debt, your crappy apartment, and nonexistent social life.

* Re-stock wine and ice cream because that’s coming.

* Die in a raging blaze of humiliation when the super-hot and very delicious fireman waiting in your office is not in fact the strip-o-gram birthday present you suspected.

* Reschedule the fire safety inspection you 100 percent failed because of said humiliation.

* Figure out how you, in fact, agreed to fake dating Mr. Not a Strip-O-Gram Fireman to help him with a bet.

* Oh yeah, and do not fall for this guy. Seriously, they call him One Night O’Neil. Red flags all over the place.

* Remember, this is fake dating, even though his very talented, very real lips are doing some sexy things you definitely like.

* Realize bending one tiny rule can’t be that bad, can it?

* Except bend too far, and something breaks. Something you can’t get back.

From my review on Goodreads:

The Dating Dilemma by Mariah Ankenman - my first book by this author I discovered on instagram. It's a fun read with likable characters who work to figure themselves out all while fake dating each other thanks to a couple of bets and bad experiences with previous boyfriends and girlfriends. I enjoyed the characters of Lexi, who puts her heart and soul into a community center for kids, and Dyson, who is a local firefighter who goes out of his way to help Lexi getting her center up to code so it passes the fire inspection. When their paths crossed there are instant sparks for an attraction that only grows as the story goes on.

The story was a pleasure to read, had a great happy ending, but didn't have to deal with a lot of angst that would stress me out. I read the first few chapters last night before bed and finished the rest in one sitting today.

If you're looking for a fun read that'll make you laugh, but not cry, pick up The Dating Dilemma!

Learn more about Mariah Ankenman at her official website and be sure to follow her on Goodreads. The Dating Dilemma is available wherever you find your books. Goodreads - Barnes & Noble - Amazon

Happy Reading!
