Blurb: In this third installment of Chase’s lively, sexy, paranormal trilogy, we meet witch Morgaine, who is deathly afraid of the dark, and her vigilante vampire neighbor Sly, who has his reasons for hating sunlight. Sly needs Morgaine’s magic to help heal a broken fang, but with further help, and sometimes hindrance, from the wacky apartment dwellers around them, they may become each other’s last hope for a normal life…


Review: This was one of those stories that you just love to love :) From a kooky ghost to medeling neighbors, these two totally have their work cut out for them. I laughed, I sighed and I have to say that I am ready to do it all over again.

Not only are the characters amazingly written, but the story itself has so much depth that I felt as if I were right there in the thick of things the whole time. I love an author that can suck me in and Ms Chase really does.

Blurb: Petty crime never looked so good...


Alpha werewolf Konrad Wolfensen sees it as his duty to protect the citizens of Boston, even if it means breaking into their businesses just to prove their security systems don’t work. But when his unsolicited services land him in trouble with the law, he’ll have to turn to his sexy new neighbor for help.

She should know better...

Attorney Roz Wells is bored. She used to have such a knack for attracting the weird and unexpected, but ever since she took a job as a Boston public defender, the quirky quotient in her life has taken a serious hit. Until her sexy werewolf neighbor starts coming around…

Review: Way Cute!! Witty, Funny, Laugh-Out-Loud and totally worth every second :)

Unique characters and situations that made the story POP for me. Not only was it a really cute plot but the things that happen along the way are so well written that I felt like I was right there with Roz and Konrad for the journey. If you dig a good paranormal with a liberal dash of funny then you should really pick this one up. You won't be sorry :)

Blurb: Gabrielle Sparks’ dream job is a nightmare. The only perk for the vibrant, young extrovert is the gorgeous Latino guy who delivers spring water. She sketches him as superhero Agua man. Little does she know that she’s “outing” San Francisco’s only real superhero.

Jose Santiago carries giant water bottles over one well-muscled shoulder. Joe Cooler, as he’s nicknamed, takes on a different role whenever anyone calls for help. Can Joe pose for the adorable artist without revealing that Agua man lives? He might have to see himself in the funny papers since his lust is anything but funny.

Note: Part of the proceeds from this book is being donated to the family of Lara Anne Punches, whose life ended tragically and too early.

Review: Giggles by Gabby is fun and light-hearted. Quirky characters make this story pleasant to read. However, the comic book/superhero plot was lost somewhere not ever having a point. The way Ms. Chase passed the time was clever, however I felt she gave too much of the story to the ghosts. This is a Quickie and the sex was quick, because of the brevity it didn’t quite satisfy.
