Two Lucky Winners will win a SIGNED BOOK of Improbable by April Alisa Marquette!!
Open Worldwide
Ending on Thursday September 18th at 11.59pm est

In Improbable, a story of love and coming of age, readers get to watch Gemma and Jeremy grow up and become a power couple. Undeniably riveting and sexy, readers will never see certain twists or turns coming…

She is a lingerie model, one that fuels the dreams of millions of men the world over. Second generation Hollywood, she becomes a successful actress and a chart-topping movie producer. Her name is Gemma Janelle, and rumor has it that three influential men are deeply in love with her. This is her story.

He is über sexy. With a French accent and a fiefdom fit for a king, he alone is the heir to two fortunes. He is Jeremy Baptiste Harden. Brooding and often filled with angst, he is the man atop Gemma’s A-list. Yet there are times when he would rather not love her. He is also sick of seeing her likeness in the tabloids – with other men, but he remains a slave to his heart.

She all but clawed her way out of a dark past; now she wants to live in the light, the spotlight to be exact. However, Gemma Janelle occupies that spot. Fresh from the backwoods, bottled-blond Ashlee is nobody’s bimbo. Boobtaculous and determined, she vows to break Jeremy away from that black chick Gemma. Then Ashlee will get everything she has ever dreamed of, right?

See how feelings can become twisted and thereby take a wrong turn – or two.

This is no kid’s book! If you’re an adult reader who loves a story that is layered, a story that builds to a crescendo and arrives at an unforeseen conclusion, this is the story for you. If you like a little surprise every now and again, if you want sensual, and tawdry, if you want to laugh, and think ‘that is a mess,’ then this is the tale for you! Author April Alisa Marquette’s ‘Cohort Trilogy’ is a ride! Now in IMPROBABLE, she introduces the next generation -- and boy, are they naughty!

Book Description
Sexy, savvy Abigail takes care of everyone in her circle of friends and family. However, one night something happens. Distressed, she shows up at the home of ruggedly attractive, pop music producer, Joseph Forrester. He would like them to become a couple. Yet it seems they just may be doomed to remain apart, due to conflicting emotions, and other people --namely Abigail's unscrupulous ex. This man has learned something that she's kept secret. He plans to use garnered knowledge to advance himself, even amid the misfortune that suddenly befalls her! Will the seemingly star-crossed lovers be able to rely on those that Abigail has cared for in the past? Amid a terrible tragedy, will love sustain the couple, or will Abigail simply...slip away, for good, this time?

Our Book Review
Who said 'Love' was ever simple?  Certainly not the stories main characters Abigail and Joseph.  Joseph has loved Abigail for many years, watching her through her failing relationships, watched her suffering, being the friendly shoulder to cry on while he longs for her.  Abigail fragile from life, her mother ran down by a drunken driver, she was raped at college, many failed relationships, seems to be unaware of his feelings.  Will they ever get it together?  Not if the ex, Darre, has his way, he seems to do what he can to get in between them, even using his dead mother as a reason to get back together.

Love shines through as they finally allow themselves to cross the friendship line, but for how long?  Can Joseph stop feeling that he is competing against the 'ex'?  Can Abigail finally admit to herself and Joseph that she really does love him?  Even their friends and close-knit family all know, yet it appears that the two of them are blinded from the fact.  Then a twist.......

A story full of emotion, lust and life, the author describes each character in a great way and you become familiar with their personalities, wants and desires.  At times you may feel that you would like to bang both their heads together to make them realise how they really feel !  One very slight negative was at times overcoming the characters native speech although the story itself works well with this.  An enjoyable and exciting read !!

Book Review - Absolution by April Alisa Marquette

Book Review
Absolution by
April Alisa Marquette
About the Author
 A native New Yorker, April Alisa Marquette, who also happens to be an editor, is the eldest of three. She garnered her love for reading from her mother, a songwriter and recording artist, who, as far back as April can remember, was always active in the arts. From her father who pastored, she learned to research and write. While attending college, and thoroughly enjoying the Creative Writing and Literature electives offered, the path for her life was charted.

April is also a platwrite, editor, and motivational speaker, one who tutored middle and high school students -- the very students others had given up on. She yet successfully shares her love of reading and writing with young people, and she gives precious time to a fledgling foundation that seeks to bolster students who might otherwise 'slip through the educational system cracks.'

Book Description
The debut novel!  Fast-paced, Book I of  The Cohort Trilogy introduces three women and Beau, their gay male roommate.  The foursome call themselves Cohorts and believe their friendship is near perfect -- until one of the women betrays Beau... by cavorting with his man. 

Then oh, the drama! 

As life, twisting and turning, continues, one of the Cohorts winds up with a secret. It is one that will further hurt everyone, should they find out... 

This provocative, sexy, fun, and sometimes sad page-turner highlights the beating that the Cohorts’ friendship takes. It also shows that theirs, like any friendship, is flawed. Yet, can they exercise absolution -- can they learn to forgive?

Book Review
I don't tend to read this genre but I must say I really enjoyed reading the book.  Once I got passed remembering who was who, I found the book a nicely flowing, entertaining read, feeling the friendship between the characters enabled you to easily step into the story and feel the love, laughter, drama and tears of the close group of friends. 

The story follows a group of four friends, Val, Ronnie, Kismet Staar and Beau, they call themselves the Cohorts and apart from Kistmet Staar, all share an apartment together.  Val, who found true love only for it to be taken away from her so brutally, will she ever find love again?  Ronnie, seeking so much the attention she desires but not in the right way, can she be honest about what she really desires?  Kismet Staar is Beau's cousin who is always there for him, keeping a watchful eye on him.  Which then leaves Beau himself, who could have any lady with his looks and charm, but sadly for them he prefers the opposite sex.

Then one friend crosses the line of friendship the whole group falls to pieces and you almost feel annoyed with them for making it happen. A sad and hurtful time for them all, leading to a shock discovery.  Can time heal the pain they caused?  Can they learn to forgive before it's too late, realising that love should never leave.
