When the Time is Right Book Review and Giveaway

A bond so strong that the gate to the Rainbow Bridge can't hold it back. 

As veterinarian Michelle Catalano helps other people's ailing animals earn their angel wings, she tries not to think about the empty cat perch in her own home. Or the empty side of her bed, grown cold since her boyfriend left town. 

Then a pet psychic's uncannily accurate reading leaves Michelle with more questions than the answers she thought were set in stone. And warnings so dark, she wishes she still had her cat at her side to cuddle the fear away. 

When a brutal murder devastates Michelle and her family, the detective working the case is her only anchor. And soon, she's turning to Bruce for the comfort that could heal her broken heart. 

But there are too many unanswered questions about the killer, causing Michelle to secretly investigate on her own. Will Michelle's search for answers spell her doom, or deliver help from above? 

Grab a copy of this women's fiction murder mystery filled with heartbreak and hope. Perfect for fans of A Street Cat Named Bob, The Art of Racing in the Rain, and animal lovers who have experienced the powerful connection between themselves and their furry friends. 

My thoughts:

 

When the Time is Right took me on a roller coaster of emotions! I laughed, I cried, was horrified and surprised. All within a fairly short novel. Kim Cano is a heartfelt writer, who wrings the emotion out of you.

Michelle Catalano is a trained veterinarian who now does housecalls to allow pets to pass at home, in their family's arms. The job is an emotional one, but she loves knowing the the animals and their families are together in a peaceful place. Since her beloved cat passed, she reached out to a pet psychic and got a very strange response.

 

Michelle's life is mostly work and visiting with family, along with excitement about becoming an aunt. When tragedy strikes her family, the whole family must band together and help each other and the investigation. As Michelle gets closer to the lead detective on the case, romance is afoot.

Will they bring the murderer to justice? Will Michelle and Bruce find love? And will the pet psychic help Michelle heal?

Tempted by Love Book Review and Giveaway

 

NEW RELEASE........
Enjoy heart-meltingly beautiful and toe-curlingly sexy romance in Tempted by Love, an emotionally riveting story about a man who has lost it all and carries a torturous secret, a divorced single mother who has everything to lose, and the little girl who helps them heal. Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles.

In TEMPTED BY LOVE… 
Years ago, bestselling author Jack “Jock” Steele lost his girlfriend and baby in a horrific accident that drove a wedge between Jock and his family, keeping him from sharing a devastating secret. An aging philanthropist saved him from the brink of despair, and for a decade Jock cared for his ailing friend who became his family. Now his friend has passed away and left him a fortune—on the condition that he publishes another book. Jock is floundering, unsure how to rebuild the life he’d walked away from, much less find his muse, have another relationship with a woman, or even think about having a family of his own. But he can’t get his sweet, sexy new friend, single-mother Daphne Zablonski out of his head, and her adorable toddler must know something he doesn’t, because she wraps her tiny fingers around his heart and won’t let go.

Daphne has been through the wringer with her ex-husband and doesn’t believe true love is in the cards for her. Friends she can handle, but letting a man see her mom bod naked? Especially someone as strikingly handsome and unbelievably sexy as Jock? No, thank you. Besides, she has a toddler to chase after and enough fictional boyfriends to fill her lonely nights. If only her book boyfriends could make her body tingle the way one look from her mysterious neighbor does.

As Jock and Daphne’s friendship turns to something too tempting to deny, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can a man who has lost everything find redemption with a woman who has everything to lose? And then there’s that secret…

More Steeles at Silver Island are coming soon!

My thoughts:

  

These two are so messed up and yet so perfect for each other! Jock has a tragedy in his past and has recently lost his closest friend. Daphne is struggling to raise her toddler alone after the heartbreak that left them as a duo. Daphne's daughter is in love with Jock, but he continuously turns away from her, which makes a relationship impossible.

Yet they both are looking for more than friendship from each other, but a tiny little girl can unknowingly cause a gulf that they can't cross. Can they get through their differences and have a life together? Or will they continue to walk away from each other?

This is the first of the Steele series, but definitely won't be the last that I read! Mrs. Foster is fantastic as always, and I can't recommend her books enough.

My True Love (The Steeles at Silver Island, Book 2)

Can a man who resents the hand he’s been dealt and a woman who spends her days grateful for every little thing find true love in each other’s arms—or are their differences stronger than both of them? Find out in this funny, sexy, heartfelt romance, and fall in love with Grant and Jules on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, and midnight rendezvous. 

Even war heroes need a little help sometimes... 
After spending years fighting for his country and too damn long learning to navigate life with a prosthetic leg, Grant Silver returns to Silver Island to figure out a future he couldn’t fathom without fatigues and a gun in his hand. He’d almost forgotten how a man could suffocate from the warmth and caring community in which he’d grown up, and if that weren’t bad enough, his buddies’ beautiful and far-too-chipper younger sister won’t stop flitting into his life, trying to sprinkle happy dust everywhere she goes. 

As a cancer survivor, Jules Steele knows better than to count on seeing tomorrow. She doesn't take a single moment for granted, and she isn’t about to let a man who used to be charming and full of life waste the future he’s been blessed with. She's determined to get through to him, even if it takes a few steamy kisses...
