Book Spotlight and Giveaway: The Pastor's Wife by Reshonda Tate Billingsley
The Pastor’s Wife
Reshonda Tate Billingsley
On Sale April 26, 2011 (Mass Paperback Edition)
Ambition, desperation, and redemption abound in nationally bestselling author Allison Hobbs's unforgettable novel about a woman forced to sink to the darkest depths of morality . . . and her quest to fight her way back.
Victoria Carlton invested everything into her dream of becoming a singer—her hopes, her time, her life savings—only to fall victim to the harsh realities of the recording industry.
Devastated, broke, and faced with the choice between committing herself and her young son to a world of homeless shelters or entering the seedy world of prostitution, she applies for a job at Pandora's Box, a downtown Philadelphia brothel that bills itself as a "massage salon." Her lifestyle quickly improves, and the gratification of instant cash replaces her willingness to find a low-paying, legitimate occupation. One day, an unlikely customer appears at Pandora's Box. Young, handsome, and well dressed, he is immediately drawn to Victoria. The two begin a love affair fraught with complications, leaving Victoria plagued by guilt and insecurities until a botched robbery and the murder of a coworker compel her to look beyond the fast money and reclaim her morals—and her life.

Successful real-estate agent Charisse Tyson is nearing 40, and after 2 decades of tumultuous, up-and-down relationships with cheating men, she’s ready to overhaul her life and make some lasting changes. Charisse swears off dating and sex until she gets her life in order—but unfortunately, stunningly sexy, charming Dwayne, a client of Charisse's comes along, and she immediately jumps in bed with him.

Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf
By Molly Harper
Coming March 29, 2011
Baring It All
Generations of werewolves have been secretly residing in a secluded valley a stone's throw from Grundy, Alaska. So when a snooping Outsider comes to Grundy to investigate rumors of lycanthropic shenanigans in the area, the valley's pack alpha, Maggie Graham, resolves to chase him away, even if doing so takes a quick bite on the butt. What a pity that researcher Nick Thatcher turns out to be so drool-worthy, and that his kisses make Maggie want to sit up and beg.
Maggie just can't seem to convince Nick to leave . . . and even worse, she can't convince herself to stay away from him. Cross-species dating is problem enough for a harried alpha female, but on top of that, a rival group of werewolves is trying to move into the valley. With interpack war threatening, Maggie can't afford to be distracted. Combining romance and a career can be tough for anyone; for a werewolf in love with a human, it may be disastrous. . . .

Book and Author Spotlight: Misconceptions by C. Hayes
Misconceptions by C. Hayes
Bran Nue Productions
Coming April 1, 2011
Gabrielle thought she found the perfect guy in Tre' Johnson. He was all she ever wanted in a man. He was handsome, romantic, and he swept her right off her feet. Her dreams had finally come true. Her fairy tale relationship/marriage was suddenly about to come to a devastating end. Gabrielle soon realizes that the man she married and who fathered her only son was suddenly becoming someone she didn’t know. The lies, cheating, sneaking around and his odd behavior was making her regret her not so perfect married life. Was Tre’ getting tired of the married life or was he just showing her the person he really was all along. Gabrielle's discovery of the person she married was mindboggling. She realized that from the beginning who she thought of Tre’ Johnson was only a Misconception.
This story shows just how easy one can get drawn to a person based on the representative they present in the beginning. Sometimes we love so hard only to figure out who we love has a side to them we never knew. Author C. Hayes shows how Gabrielle fell in love with her dream man, how through all the different women and deceit she found the strength and courage to leave, and how she let her heart love again. It makes you really question if you ever really know a person. Misconceptions are real.

"My focus now are my children, building something for them and with them is the best feeling in the world"
A Few Words From Ms. Hayes
I remember being a young girl wondering what I wanted to be when I grew up. I think I must have gone through many things before settling on being in the criminal justice system. Its funny how you just don’t know what you will end up doing, what you be a part of, how many lives you may touch and how you as a person will end up. Well I managed to stick with my passion of helping others and got a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and am now pursuing a Masters in Mental Health Counseling.
But at thirty two years of age I never thought that I would become an author. Goes to show how when God has a plan no one can intervene. I was inspired to write my first novel just last year when a friend of mine bought me a mother’s day gift that changed my life. A journal. I sat and thought about things that people go through every day and something women and men can relate to. In conclusion I have my book entitled Misconceptions.
I am thankful that I have reached this milestone in my life and rather my book inspires or helps someone I am satisfied with my progress.
My goal is to motivate and uplift others. I want to be an example that goals can be reached. Writing has now become my therapy, there are stories to be told and as a new author I intend to do just that. Tell stories.

Book Spotlight and Contest: Unforgivable by Laura Griffin
Today I welcome Laura Griffin to the blog. Her new romantic suspense novel, Unforgivable, will release on November 30.
Thank you so much for inviting me to join you here on Diva’s Bookcase!
I’m excited to tell you about my latest romantic suspense novel, UNFORGIVABLE.
The story’s heroine, Mia Voss, first came onto the scene several books ago, and readers have been asking about her ever since! So, I’m really looking forward to sharing her story with readers.
Here is a glimpse:
At first, Mia Voss thinks it’s just bad luck when her already lousy day ends with a carjacking. But what seems like a random incident is followed by another sinister episode. A DNA expert, Mia has made it her mission to put away vicious criminals.
Suddenly, she’s become the target of one. And the only way to protect the people she loves most is to deliberately destroy her reputation and risk letting a killer walk free. Once, Mia trusted Detective Ric Santos. That was before Ric let his turbulent past ruin his chances with Mia, the sexiest, most intriguing woman he’s ever met. But he can tell when she’s lying—and when she’s scared. The key to catching a sadistic madman lies within a long-buried cold case that has haunted Mia for years. Only she can uncover the truth, but first, Ric will have to get her to entrust him with her secrets . .. and her life.
UNFORGIVABLE is the third book in my Tracers series. The common thread in all the stories is a cutting-edge laboratory where forensic experts, known as Tracers, work with cold case and homicide detectives to unravel the toughest crimes. People often ask me if they have to read the Tracers books in order, and I tell them no… the characters overlap, but each suspense plot stands on its own. So feel free to dive right in!
