SARA News - The good stuff just keeps on coming...

Hello dear reader, and welcome to yet another super-sassy instalment of the SARA News.  

We have some new books for your reading pleasure this evening...


Claire Baxter's Entangled Bliss release Flirting with Danger is now available from etailers.  To celebrate it's release, Claire is blog-hopping across with blogosphere with a rafflecopter giveaway.    Head to Claire's website for more deets.

To be together is dangerous. To stay apart is impossible.

Firefighter Jasmine Mackinnon has always just been one of the guys. So no one’s more shocked than she is to find herself kissing fellow firefighter and all-around sinfully handsome playboy Aaron Parkes after a friend’s wedding. Jasmine knows she can’t risk an emotional connection with a colleague—a potentially dangerous entanglement when fighting fires together—and nothing's more important to her than her job.

Aaron never noticed how beautiful Jasmine was until he saw her out of her firefighter duds, but there’s something about the fiery woman that tempts him. Though he knows pursuing a real relationship is out of the question for a serial dater like him, when their casual flirtation builds into something more serious, it's not just their jobs or their safety on the line. It's their hearts.

In other book release news, KE Osborn's debut novel Trust Me? The Trust me? Trilogy Book One is available now at Amazon and Smashwords.

When Jenifer Taylor, a young woman from the big City of Mornington Vale California starts her day, it turns from bad to worse, when on her way to work she is in a chain collision.Little does she know that this accident will set off a chain of events transforming her dull life, filling it with love and heartache.Aiden O'Connell, a young, attractive, and rich businessman sparks her trust issues as he starts his pursuit of her.Jeni admits her feelings for Aiden; only to find out he is being investigated for a serious crime. Her trust issues spark as she goes through a journey of self-discovery. She must decide once and for all whether she trusts the man she loves, when she’s asked the ultimate question.“Do you trust me?”This is book one in a series of three. Book two "Love Me?" coming soon. 


Finally (Don't be sad, we'll be back next week!), the Romance Writers of Australia Inc's Little Gems Short Story Anthology 2013 Sapphire was released at the RWA's recent National Conference.  It feature's SARA's own Little Gems 2013 contest finalists, Harriet Jarvis (Stealing the Detective's Heart) and Ute Rozenbilds (Mining Sapphires), plus the second place winning story by Emmeline Lock, EverTrue.  

Secure your copy now at the RWA website.  

Until next time, happy reading!
