Thank you and Goodbye





After 10 years, after thousands of reviews, blogtours, and author spotlights, we've decided to draw the final curtain (for now). As of today, My Fiction Nook will not create new content for the foreseeable future.

It's time for a break. Blogging and reviewing is a labor of love, but it's also a lot of work. 

We have loved our time with you, our readers, our visitors. Thank you for your support over the years, for the comments and encouragement.

Being granted an ARC is an honor and a privilege, and one we've never taken for granted. We are ever so grateful to the many authors and publishers with whom we've had the privilege to work these many years. You gave a small book blog a chance and helped us make amazing memories. 

Existing content will stay up. And we will still be around on Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. Come find us there.



Until we meet again,

Blogtour: Cruisin' in High Heels by Loretta and Sarah Johns

 


Cruisin' in High Heels

Cruisin' Around Series
by Loretta & Sarah Johns
Genre: LGBTQ Contemporary Romance


Twin brothers. One gay, one straight. Two romances with double the hijinks.

Skye:

I love my twin dearly, I really do. The thing is, I'm not so sure about River's latest plan. On the surface, it looks solid. Work for the cruise line, save up the cash, and buy a used bus to do up so he can go out on tour. 

Only thing is, he failed to tell me that while he was doing his act as Cha Cha Larue for the drag queen variety show, he'd signed me up to do so as well! Rather than lose our jobs and get him into trouble for fraud, I decide to go along with it. After all, River promises I'll only have to cover for him if he's ill. He says I'll get to mostly just lounge around the pool. Somehow, I doubt it's going to go quite that easy for me.

It never does when it involves Cha Cha, but, really, how bad can it be? It doesn't take long to find out when someone starts sabotaging the show and targets Cha Cha! We're going to get to the bottom of it. We're not going it alone, though. River's got a security expert admirer on board, and I have my own little shipboard romance going on with a lawyer. Between the four of us, the saboteur doesn't stand a chance.

Hopefully, the opposite will prove true for our romances as River and me? When we fall, we fall hard. And boy, have we fallen- broken heel, face plant hard.

Cruisin' in High Heels is a fun romp with a cozy mystery edge and contains both mm and mf romance. It takes place in the Cruisin' Around series world of which it is an official part.

Blogtour: Building A Surprise Family by Anna J. Stewart


Please welcome Anna J. Stewart with

Building A Surprise Family


An instant family…Is life-changing!

Pregnant construction supervisor Jo Bertoletti doesn’t need anyone’s help…or another heartbreak. So she’s putting handsome, kindhearted firefighter Ozzy Lakeman firmly into the friend zone.


After all, she’s just passing through Butterfly Harbor, and her life is too complicated for a summer romance.


But Ozzy feels an immediate connection. Can he convince the woman of his dreams to take a chance on building a forever family with him?




Excerpt:

The truck’s engine suddenly went silent. Ozzy walked over to greet the driver. “That is a thing of beauty,” he said as the door opened and the driver dropped to the ground in front of him.

Every thought he had disappeared straight out of his head.

Tall, curvy and with sun-streaked blond hair knotted into a messy pile on top of her head, Butterfly Harbor’s latest arrival faced Ozzy with a wide, welcoming smile on her round face. Beneath the barely-there sunlight of the May morning, her skin seemed to glisten in the chilly air. She had light brown eyes, almost amber with flecks of gold that sparkled when she smiled. She wore snug jeans that accentuated everything a man like him enjoyed, sneakers that looked as if they’d been worn into the ground and a snug short-sleeved turquoise T-shirt that displayed a surprisingly round stomach.

The new foreman was a woman?

A pregnant forewoman?

Blogtour: The Marine's Mission by Deb Kastner


Please welcome Deb Kastner with

The Marine's Mission


This marine doesn't want anyone's help


…until an unlikely match changes his life.


Wounded ex-marine Aaron Jamison always follows orders—and the assignment to take on a service dog is just that. Still, trainer Ruby Winslow is definitely barking up the wrong tree when she insists a beauty-parlor poodle is his perfect match.


But Ruby and her clever canine are determined to melt the heart of this battle-hardened marine. And they'll teach him an unforgettable new trick—love.





Excerpt:

“You should probably know I don’t want to be here.”

Those were the first words United States Marine Corps Sergeant Aaron Jamison blurted out to the ginger-haired woman who’d just approached him, welcoming him with a pretty smile and an enormous, dorky-looking black standard poodle standing at her side, both with curious gazes. As far as Aaron was concerned, her choice in froufrou dogs obviously said a lot about her, kind of like the movie stars who carried tiny pups around in their purses to show off to everyone.

This was the breed of dog she’d chosen to own, and she was supposed to be an expert? She was going to be his service-dog trainer, put him through the program, and his first impression was she was probably as fluff brained as her dog, not someone he wanted to be in charge of him. He’d been told to meet up with Ruby Winslow, his new contact at A New Leash on Love, and since she was standing out here in front of the building, waiting for him, he assumed this was she.

In general, he didn’t say much, and yet this time the moment he had stepped out of his truck, he’d put his foot in his mouth.

Two feet, even.

He’d blabbed exactly what had crossed his mind, and it wasn’t the greatest beginning for either of them.

Neither did it bode well for him when she immediately stopped in her tracks fast enough to make the dust cloud around her cowboy boots, sparks snapping in her light blue eyes as her gaze narrowed on him and her smile wavered. The black poodle stopped with her and stared up at her, curious as to her sudden halt.
