There's nothing pretty about murder.
Meet Toni Diamond, make up artist to middle America. She's also got a nose for trouble and a passion for solving mysteries. Imagine Columbo in a lavender suit. She never met a woman who wouldn't look better with a little help from the Lady Bianca line of cosmetics. But don't be fooled by appearances. Underneath the fake diamonds and the big hair is a sharp brain and a keen eye that sees the details as well as the funny side of life. When a Lady Bianca sales rep is murdered at the annual convention in Dallas, Toni is the one who notices things that some people, like sexy Detective Luke Marciano, might easily miss. Only someone who understands as much about how to make appearances deceiving could see into the mind of this killer—a murderer who wants to give Toni a permanent makeover. Into a dead woman.

All I Want for Christmas, by Nancy Warren
Darren Littlejohn may be only ten, but he knows what he wants—to meet his hero, NASCAR driver Jason Bane. Of course, that means his mom will be there, too. And she sure does seem anxious about seeing her childhood friend. Maybe there's more to those old high school stories than she's been willing to share…
A wonderful collection of Christmas stories brings the season to life with a touch of Christmas magic that happens, for the most part, away from the NASCAR track. Peopled with likable characters that it's a joy to spend some time with, these stories are a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit. ~ RT Book Reviews

Lucky for Chloe Flynt, everyone knows it's harder to get out
of a bad relationship than it is to get in one. But when it comes
to hot, steamy, long-lasting passion, even Chloe is at a loss—until
this British playgirl comes face to face with a true-blue Texas
cowboy who tempts her to toss away her commitment phobic habits
one and for all for a walk down the aisle...
Falling in love is much harder than breaking up...
With three broken engagements under her oh, so fashionable belt,
it's high time London party girl Chloe Flynt gets a job. Unfortunately,
Chloe isn't exactly qualified for anything, except dumping a Mr.
Wrong or two (or three!) with a little dignity. Realizing she
needs a new beginning, she lands in Austin, Texas and opens a
company breaking up bad relationships.
Too bad Chloe's tall, tough-talking and take-charge landlord,
Matthew Tanner, isn't interested in her expertise. Because anyone
can see that his girlfriend is clearly all wrong for him. Not
that Chloe cares. She and Matthew have nothing in common—other
than mind-blowing attraction, that is. But when his girlfriend
requests Chloe's services, all hell breaks loose. If there's one
thing Chloe knows for sure, it's that just because she's good
at breaking up bad relationships doesn't mean she has a talent
for putting together good ones. Maybe it's finally time she gives
it a try...
This fast-paced romance has a unique premise and a bold yet batty main character. Warren skirts the edges of chick lit with the pace and tone, and the intricacies of the secondary plots, as they tie in to the main story, will entertain and intrigue. Some comedy of errors and well-depicted sexual tension spice up the story. ~ RT Book Reviews
