#Review: Treasure on Moon Lake by Amy Gamet


True love is hiding where you least expect to find it...

Jewelry designer Tori Henderson’s first year in business was far more expensive than she could have imagined. Faced with closing the doors of Tori’s Treasures, she sinks her last dollar into one final promotion—a widely publicized treasure hunt for a chest of fine, handmade jewelry that could drum up enough business to get her back in the black... or kill her shop once and for all.

The last thing she needs is her mother's announcement that she's preparing to marry Edward Trainor, the father of Tori’s long ago summer crush, Gabe - a man who regularly makes his way into Tori's dreams some ten years later.

Corporate tycoon Jed Trainor has no intention of attending his estranged father’s wedding, and he certainly doesn’t need to see his half-brother Gabe after the other man put the moves on Jed's one-time fiancĂ©e. But with business problems looming, Jed needs time to think, and the small town of Moon Lake seems like the perfect place to hide away while he figures out how to save his empire.

The last thing he needs is the distraction of a beautiful woman who thinks she’s in love with his idiot half-brother.

Tori is determined to win Gabe’s heart, but Jed has other plans. When they learn Gabe is bringing a date to the wedding, Jed offers to bring Tori himself, knowing any woman on his arm is sure to be on Gabe’s radar. But his ploy for her attention just may blow up in his face. Can Jed prove to Tori he’s the Trainor brother she really belongs with?

Write On Review-a-Thon

Write On Review-a-Thon

The Write On review-a-thon is a monthly event created and hosted by Brianna at The Book Vixen. It’s a duration of time dedicated to getting reviews done, whether you have one review to write or 30+. This edition of the review-a-thon takes place all day Friday, November 21st and Saturday, November 22nd. Let’s get those reviews done!

I've got so many reviews to do, it isn't even funny.  And that two-week bout of crippling headaches certainly did not help things any, but it was what it was and now's the time to get back to work.  Here is a list of reviews that I need to do:

For book tours (for which I have the books or ebooks already:

11/21 - Fatal Brushstrokes by Sybil Johnson
12/11 - The Kill List by Nichole Christoff
12/15 - Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz
1/7 - Kill 'Em With Cayenne by Gail Oust

Books I just read for the heck and/or pleasure of it, but haven't reviewed them yet:

  • 2K to 10K: Writing Faster, Writing Better, and Writing More by Rachel Aaron
  • Broken-Hearted Ghoul (Taxi for the Dead Paranormal Mysteries #1) by Joyce & Jim Lavene
  • Searching for Pekpek: Cassowaries and Conservations in the New Guinea Rainforest by Andrew L. Mack
  • Chimeras: Track Presius Mystery #1 by E. E. Giorgi
  • Blog Events: The Secret to Engaging Your Community, Growing Your Network and Establishing Your Expertise by Amanda Shofner
  • 3500: An Autistic Boy's 10 Year Romance With Snow White by Ron Miles
Well, those are the ones I can find that need reviewing.  There are probably more.  In any case, I have no fantasy that I can complete all of these in two days.  I would, however, like to get the four reviews for tours done (although, obviously the ones whose dates have not arrived won't post live until the day they are supposed to.  

This list may grow, or shrink depending on if my memory improves or I get some reviews done ahead of time.  I will try to 'scorekeep' on this post, making revisions as necessary

Let's get those lists of reviews to be done whittled down!  We'll feel more accomplished and our writer friends will certainly appreciate it!
