It’s Novelty Girls day, and I’m over there dedicating my post to the hard working man on Labor Day. ;)

Innocent? Moi? Do they KNOW what I write? Pshaw!

You Belong in 1956

You’re fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

As part of the critique group code (Paragraph 12, Section 415.75), I’m obligated to pimp out my girls’ awesome books. And this book is good. I especially love the captain’s chair scene where they…um…never mind, I can’t say it on the internet. Just buy the book.

Heart of the Storm by Jennifer McKenzie (fyi: I came up with that title!)

Eight years ago, Charlene Henderson had tragically lost her brother, a crab fisherman, to the depths of the Bering Sea. She’d left her home, her family, and the only man she’d ever truly loved and run to California to forget. Forget the pain, forget her love, and leave Alaska and fishermen completely behind her.

Unfortunately Alaska isn’t as ready to leave Charlene alone. Some new information on her brother’s death has surfaced, and Charlene must return to Dutch Harbor and discover the truth about what had really happened to her brother.

Ethan Shannon has never forgotten Charlie Henderson, but eight years changes a person, and she’s not Charlie anymore – she’s Charlene, a stuck-up city girl with no love for the sea. Despite his distaste for her new lifestyle, he can’t help the feelings he still has for her, and his desire to find out what happened to her brother – his best friend.

Peace for Charlene can only come by discovering the truth. But will she be able to face the evidence she finds, both about her brother and her relationship with Ethan? Or will the answers lead her back into the heart of the storm?
