Book News: Leslie Parrish
One of my favorite books is Slow Hands by Leslie Kelly. Now she is writing under another name, Leslie Parrish. Last week she revealed her new website – www.authorleslieparrish.com. It is a great site with information about her new series and her Black CATs. I can’t wait for this new dark romantic suspense series. Book #1, Fade to Black, will be released on July 7th. Book #2, Pitch Black, will be released on August 4th.
Here is the book trailer for Fade to Black:

Review: Aussie Rules by Jill Shalvis
From the back of the book:
It’s bad enough that gutsy pilot Mel Anderson has to clean up after her lovable but completely disorganized best friend and business partner, Dimi, while her certifiable employees make more work than they do. Now, the one man she hoped she’d never see – the man who owns the deed to her airport, thank you – is back and looking for trouble. Scratch that, he is trouble. Amazing, holy cow, more please trouble…
Bo Black wants his family’s airport back, and he’s determined to get it. This laid-back Aussie is nobody’s fool, neither is Mel. She’s intense..Uptight. Sexy. And very, very tempting. Suddenly, Bo’s thinking less about revenge and more about kissing and touching and falling into a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-underpants kind of forever love…
Now, somebody’s going for broke; somebody’s going crazy; somebody’s going to try everything; and somebody’s going to play a very risky surprise…
After reading Instant Attraction I went on a Jill Shalvis reading binge. Aussie Rules was the only book of hers that I had yet to read and with the re-release in mass market paperback it seemed the perfect time to read it. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t my favorite. There was something about Bo Black that I didn’t like. I’m not sure what it was though. I think that I was comparing him to the hero in Instant Attraction and found him lacking compared to Cam. The plot of the book is great. Mel’s life is turned upside down with the return of Bo. I like when characters have their lives so drastically altered. Mel was an interesting character, she is very tough on the outside and very vulnerable on the inside. She takes care of those around her without allowing anyone to take care of her. On the whole I enjoyed this book, and probably would have loved it if I hadn’t just read Instant Attraction.
