Goddess in Time
Updated at Mar 30, 2021, 01:03
Some mistakes are worth defying the gods to fix. Nicole Matios would rather be almost anywhere other than the tiny Greek island home to the Academy, an ultra-exclusive private school for the descendants of the gods. But she’s basically trapped there until graduation, thanks to a foolish childhood prank. One that also got her parents banished from the entire mythological world. When Nic discovers a book that unlocks the forbidden power of time travel, though, all bets are off. She finally has a chance to right her wrong and get back the life she was supposed to have. With a little help—okay a lot of help—from her friends, Nic sets out on a quest that will take her from the lofty peak of Mt. Olympus to the chilly depths of Poseidon’s sea palace to the dark heart of Hades. Will she be able to fix her mistakes without bringing all of Olympus crashing down around her? Past and present collide in unpredictable ways—especially when the gods are involved! Goddess in Time is a standalone novella in Tera Lynn Childs’s popular Oh. My. Gods. series. If you like mythology, romance, and spunky girls who let nothing stand in their way, you’ll love the descendants of the gods who live, laugh, and love on the supposedly-uninhabited Greek island of Serfopoula.

Eye Candy
Updated at Apr 13, 2020, 19:00
From award-winning author Tera Lynn Childs comes a fun, flirty story about friendship, fashion, and how far one girl will go to avoid another conversation about her ex. “Eye Candy is a romance that's just as sweet and addicting as candy, without the high sugar content” — The YA Lit Chick Every girl deserves something sweet... Lydia Vanderwalk has worked hard to have the perfect job, the perfect wardrobe, and the perfect everything else. She only needs two things to make her life completely perfect: 1) a promotion at work and 2) for everyone to stop talking about the supposedly-perfect fiance she left at the altar. She tries to check number two off the list by inventing a fictitious boyfriend, but the plan backfires when she actually needs to produce him in order to go after number one. Phelps was supposed to be pure eye candy, a male model hired to play the part of picture-perfect boyfriend. But there’s more going on beneath his pretty face than charm and spontaneity. Throw in a banking wunderkind ex-fiancé, a trio of cutthroat couture-climbers, and an adventure that leads from New York to Milan and back again, and Lydia soon learns that what you see is often much less than what you get when it comes to people and not everything in life can be solved by a Jolly Rancher and a shopping spree. Eye Candy is a standalone book in the City Chicks series, a romantic chick lit romp perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Carrie Bradshaw, and Project Runway.

Trying Texas
Updated at Apr 13, 2020, 19:00
From award-winning author Tera Lynn Childs comes a sweet, sassy story about friendship, dreams, and how far one girl will go to get the perfect take. “If you like your chick lit with a little less Prada and lot more cowboys, this one's for you.” — Jessica on Goodreads Every girl deserves a wild ride… Cassie Bishop has one goal: produce the pilot episode of Try It On to get back in her boss’s good graces and back to New York. She can handle one month of dusty Texas outback, rolling tape as a trust fund diva learns how to play cowgirl, if it means salvaging her career. But when the spoiled rich girl bails at the last minute, Cassie has only one option—take her place. Can anyone say yee-haw? The only hitch in the plan is Ty, the real-life, living breathing cowboy who is supposed to train her. He’s smart, funny, and makes a western shirt look tastier than a bag of hot candied cashews. Too bad he’s so deeply rooted in his Texas home. As the film rolls, Cassie finds herself falling for the hunky rancher, the raw beauty of the country, and the rhythm of small town life where city pressures—and ulcer medicine—are distant memories. When the month is up and the shoot wraps, will the city girl return home? Or will love and friendships convince her to give lone star life a try? Trying Texas is a standalone book in the City Chicks series, a romantic chick lit romp perfect for fans of Emily Giffin, Bridget Jones, and The Hating Game. Praise for Trying Texas “a fun! light-hearted read” — Jessie on Goodreads “a fun, sweet and flirty chick lit” — Gayle on Goodreads “A very sweet romance about two people from very different worlds.” — Taz on Goodreads “If you are looking for a fun, quick read with dashing cowboys and strong heroines, then Trying Texas may be the book you are looking for.” — Carrie on Goodreads

Hint, Hint, Hollywood.” — Nat at Bibliojunkies Every girl deserves a little revenge… Bethany Lange knows a thing or twelve about gay men. The Southern belle turned city girl has dated five of them.

Bethany doesn’t believe for a second that he’s actually gay and she vows to reveal the truth, even if she has to stalk him to get the proof. She finds an unlikely partner in Chris, the show’s kitchen god. He’s sweet, sexy, and funny. The perfect—and perfectly unavailable—guy. Between the long talks and late-night stakeouts, she’s finding it harder and harder to resist being attracted to him.
