New Release – Divining Elise + New Giveaways!

Posted on June 16, 2018 by jodyakessler

Hello again,

I have some fantastic news to share with you + book deals and new giveaways.

Divining Elise – the new Granite Lake Romance is available on Amazon!

Early readers are leaving positive reviews about the new book and the Everett brothers are winning the hearts of the readers. I hope you’ll give Divining Elise a chance and let me know what you think of Rob and Elise.

About the Book

Elise Martinez wished her date with destiny didn’t include being run off the road by the most caring, handsome, and intelligent man she’d ever met.

Moving to Granite Lake to manage a bookstore and coffee shop meant Elise could finally leave her haunted past behind, but being a psychic mom to a deaf child has its benefits and downfalls—and her guarded heart isn’t ready for a new romance.

Rob Everett never imagined giving up corporate law to open a brewery with his brothers in Granite Lake would begin with a car accident and the arrival of a surprise baby.

As if being a single dad and starting a new business weren’t challenging enough, Rob can’t get the beautiful, mysterious, and feisty bookstore manager out of his mind.

Elise quickly captures Rob’s heart—but falling in love is a complicated, sexy, and emotional enterprise.

Mix in a baby, a haunted brewery, craft beer, and a dangerous ex-husband into this recipe of love and Rob and Elise’s future isn’t as easily divined as the fates would have foretold.

**Steamy Contemporary Romance intended for 18+ for mature language and sexual content.

**Full length novel with a happily ever after.

Available on: Amazon

Included in Kindle Unlimited ~ Paperback coming soon.

Read a short excerpt from the novel:

Elise rose from the couch and disappeared from the room. When she returned, she handed a paperback book to Rob.

“I bought this for you.”

He looked at the cover front and back. “I haven’t read this author.”

“He’s one of my favorite sci-fi authors of all time. The new book in the series came out yesterday.” She held up another book for Rob to see. “If you like it then I’ll bring you number two when you’re ready.”

“Are we having a reading date, Elise?”

“Is it too nerdy for you?”

“No. I’ve just never read with someone before,” he said.

“Well then you’re really missing out.”

“I guess I’ve been missing out on a lot of good things. I’ve never had homemade chimichangas or been whupped at the Memory game by a munchkin, either.”

“We’re pretty awesome like that.” Elise sat on the couch next to her son, Colton, who was already fast asleep. “Don’t tell anyone. I don’t want the word to get around about us.”

“I wouldn’t let this secret out. It’s too good to share.”

One eyebrow rose and she opened her book. Rob likewise began reading and to his surprise, he was instantly sucked into the story. After the first few chapters, he realized Maisie needed her nighttime bottle. He set the book on the coffee table to take care of his daughter. The sci-fi author was good. Really good. He could have kept turning pages for hours if he didn’t have responsibilities to take care of. After putting the baby in bed, he lifted Colton from the couch and carried him to the guest room. Elise took care of Colton, then joined him in the living room. The novels were forgotten and all Rob could focus on was Elise.

She took his hand and led him to his bedroom. Sixty-nine became Rob’s new favorite number. Elise was insatiable. Rob couldn’t believe how incredible their chemistry was. There was no ebb to their flow. He only wanted more of her.

Divining Elise is book 4 in the Granite Lake Romance series

New Release ~ Reclaiming Melanie

Granite Lake Romance – Book 3

About the Book –

Single mom Melanie Jamison doesn’t have time for half-naked rescues from Granite Lake by her first love, Braden Keehn — the boy who mysteriously disappeared from her life a decade earlier. Coaching, repurposing furniture, and taking care of her daughter who has severe allergies have her swamped.

But there’s one gargantuan problem with this second chance romance – the sexy alpha game warden doesn’t seem to remember her.

Special Ops Game Warden Braden Keehn’s recent drug investigation leaves him ambushed in the forest and lucky to escape alive. Helping his brother fix and flip an investment property in Granite Lake is just what the doctor ordered for a quiet recuperation.

But there’s one mammoth-sized surprise — Melanie, the girl he loved and lost, lives in the house next door… and he can’t tell her anything about why he’s returned.

Reuniting with Melanie — and falling in love again is easy — but gaining her trust and finding their happy ever after brings frustrating, steamy, and sometimes hilarious challenges Braden never saw coming.

**A steamy, fun second-chance romance.

Reclaiming Melanie is a stand-alone novel with a happy ever after.

Get it now: Amazon & Kindle Unlimited

Hooray! NEW RELEASE – Reclaiming Melanie – Granite Lake Romance

Posted on March 1, 2018 by jodyakessler

Hello and welcome back!

I haven’t posted anything on my blog for some time, but I’m thrilled to have you stop by. And I have great news:

I’m happy to announce my NEW RELEASE! – Reclaiming Melanie – Granite Lake Romance book 3

What’s the new book about?

But there’s one gargantuan problem with this second chance romance – the sexy alpha game warden doesn’t seem to remember her.

But there’s one mammoth-sized surprise — Melanie, the girl he loved and lost, lives in the house next door… and he can’t tell her anything about why he’s returned.

**A steamy, sexy, fun second-chance romance.

Reclaiming Melanie is a stand-alone novel with a happy ever after.

Would you like to read an excerpt?

“Excuse me?”

Melanie spun around and got slapped in the face with her past. Her jaw dropped and she was struck speechless by the man standing next to her car. Instantly self-aware of her hasty hairdo, lack of makeup, and varnish and paint-stained jeans, she found herself capable of doing, well, nothing. Deer-in-the-headlights syndrome much?

Braden Keehn smiled with a bad boy grin he didn’t possess eleven years earlier. His jeans were slung low over his hips and the abundance of ripped muscles beneath his thin cotton V-neck shirt screamed of hours spent working out in the gym. There was no subtlety or humility behind the gleam in his eye, and she somehow knew he’d checked out her package before turning around. The differences about his demeanor from when she knew him before were subtle, yet somehow glaringly obvious. She couldn’t put her finger on it. Melanie shook herself and tried to gain some composure.

“Hi there.” He stuck his hand out.

Her eyebrows rose in surprise, or shock. He doesn’t recognize me. They spent nearly a year together when they were teenagers. How could he not know her? They were each other’s first love.

“I’m your new neighbor.” He dropped his hand as she still hadn’t recovered her ability to function.

He said something else, but she missed it because Sienna’s music switched songs and blared out of the car speakers.

“Sorry. I didn’t hear you.” She gestured toward the open door. “Hold on. Let me turn this down.”

Braden Keehn bought the house next door! Braden Keehn, the boy who broke her heart so completely it sent her on the path that led to teenaged pregnancy, dropping out of college, and a marriage she may not have otherwise chosen…

*~*~*

Behind the Scenes of A Witch’s Fate ~ New Witches Of Lane County

Posted on May 24, 2017 by jodyakessler

A Behind the Scenes Look at A Witch’s Fate – A Witches of Lane County novel included in the Dark Fates box set. ~ An interview with USA Today Bestselling Author, Jody A. Kessler *BONUS* A $100 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway

About the novel

A Witch’s Fate – Witches of Lane County – Brand new paranormal romance by Jody A. Kessler

Tori Morgan is a modern-day witch from Lane County—and she’s cursed. Falling in love is not in Tori’s astrological chart, her cards, or anywhere else in her plans for the future. Falling for a skeptic who debunks the paranormal for a living is even less likely.

Leif Andersen doesn’t believe in magic or the paranormal. When he’s hired to investigate the mysterious death of former Hollywood actress and humanitarian, Delana Smootz, Leif is led straight to Tori Morgan’s door. There’s no way he’s going to fall for Tori or her woo-woo mysticism, no matter how magical she feels in his arms.

Sparks fly and an undeniable attraction sizzles as Tori and Leif travel the globe in search of a suspect and the answers to Delana’s supernatural downfall.

Here’s a few extra details you may want to know about A Witch’s Fate:

Is the magic in the book out of the closet, so to speak, or is the world of magic still underground?

The existence of magic, and the witch and wizard community, is still underground. Even though the witches live among the general population, their magical abilities are not practiced openly. The world in A Witch’s Fate is set the present day, but there is an entire magical community living, working, and interacting along-side the non-magical people. This type of world building is comparable to the Harry Potter series or the Harry Dresden novels – two of my favorite series by the way. One of the differences in the Witches of Lane County series is that A Witch’s Fate contains steamy romance, and the murder mystery is the subplot.

What is the setting for the novel?

A Witch’s Fate is mainly set in Portland, Oregon. Portland is where Tori Morgan – the heroine of A Witch’s Fate – lives and works as a psychic/medium/healer for private clients. She’s a Morgan witch from Lane County, OR. The family home is on the coast about 3.5 hours from the city. The women in her family have endured a 500-year-old curse that makes marriage an unachievable dream. Tori moved to the city and away from her childhood home and magical family members as soon as she could. She loves her family, but she doesn’t want to live in the country. She’s definitely a city girl. The main characters, Tori and Leif, also take a trip around the globe to a resort hotel in the mountains of the Ukraine in search of a suspect.

What was the inspiration for the novel?

A Witch’s Fate was born from Heart of the Secret – A Witches of Lane County Novella, and it’s a fun sexy novel full of magic, mystery, and romance.

Tori first made an appearance in Heart of the Secret. She was a feisty, hot tempered, and skilled witch, and an intriguing character from the very moment I envisioned her.

In Heart of the Secret, Tori returns home to Lane County to escape a precarious and messy situation with the man she is currently seeing in Portland. I immediately started imagining Tori’s story. She’s determined to never marry or get involved in a serious relationship because of her family curse. I knew there would be someone who could crack her resolve and warm her heart to the idea of dating exclusively — and maybe even falling in love. *In walks Leif Andersen- the extremely sexy paranormal investigator and skeptic.*

**If you don’t already know what happens between these two fiery characters, you’ll have to read the novel to see how Leif wins Tori’s heart.

Thanks for visiting with me today. If you have any questions, please post ‘em in the comments and I’ll answer as soon as I can!

Cheers and happy reading,

Jody A. Kessler

Chasing Treasure – New Release + Sale and Giveaway!

Posted on April 4, 2017 by jodyakessler

Title – Chasing Treasure: A Granite Lake Romance

Author: Jody A. Kessler

Genre: Contemporary Romance

ON SALE FOR $0.99 APRIL 6-12

After spending the winter apart, Treasure can’t stop thinking about her former paramedic partner, Bodie Everett. But, with her unfortunate history of dating, and an overwhelming fear of commitment, Treasure doesn’t know how she’ll react when Bodie returns from training at Wilderness School. Or, if the irresistible and sexy, Bodie, wants to continue where they left off back in December. With a flooded apartment and a ridiculous suspension from her job as a paramedic, Treasure heads to Granite Lake and back to her childhood home—a rundown apartment and a garage packed full of motorcycles.

Now that Bodie has new Search and Rescue certifications under his belt, he’s ready to move forward with his life. He hopes that includes a relationship with Treasure. After an unforgettable night together, he can’t seem to shake her from his head or his heart. He’s ready to take their friendship to the next level, but his intruding family members have their own agenda. Opening a brewpub with his brothers, joining the Mountain Division of Search and Rescue, and the surprise return of his ex-fiancé complicate and distract Bodie from chasing and catching Treasure.

Available in Kindle Unlimited

“Exciting, steamy, romance that’s heartfelt and entertaining!” – New York Times Bestselling Author Nancy Segovia

Treasure rolled over and admired, not for the first time, Court’s hard, delicious deltoid muscles. They capped broad shoulders and flowed seamlessly down to meet bulging biceps. His muscles elicited a baser need to climb on top of him, squeeze him between her thighs and stroke every inch of his incredible arms—and the rest of him too. His triceps were ripped. His forearms could have belonged to Popeye. She glanced at his chest and almost drooled at the sight of the smooth bronze pecs and rippling abs.

Court caught her attention the moment he entered the bar last night. She’d been chatting with friends and he quickly became the game of the evening. She supposed she’d won. In all honesty, her girlfriends hadn’t been as driven to win the prize as strongly as she had. Treasure knew going to Paradiso would more than likely provide a new boy-toy, or two, and she thought she was in the mood to fool around with someone new.

She hadn’t exactly meant to end up in bed with him, but she hadn’t been opposed to it either. Now, she was in Court’s brand new condo wondering where her clothes were while trying not to berate herself for sleeping with someone she just met. What did she even know about this guy? He told her he was new in town, which explained why she and her friends had never seen him before. He said he moved to Reno for a job and his last name was Prescott. Court Prescott. That should have been a huge flag to their sexual incompatibility. His name sounded ridiculously pretentious to Treasure even though he didn’t come across that way. And who names their kid Court anyway? It reminded her of basketball or tennis. Which brought on the image of balls and that made her snicker as she mentally renamed him Court Tennis Balls Prescott. Yeah, balls had definitely been involved last night, she thought, and knew it was juvenile, but ball jokes never got old. Except for actual old balls and that was unpleasant to think about.

Lying next to him, Treasure slid Court the side eye. This wasn’t the first time she’d done something like this, but it was the first time she regretted it with such whole-hearted distaste. He’d been a sloppy and unrefined lover. The thought of kissing him made her queasy. His lips were beautiful but had no finesse. She should have known after the first kiss sex with this man would be disappointing, but she’d pursued him and kept the foreplay going with the hope that the night would get better with a little coaching. It hadn’t. She cringed remembering the lackluster roll in the sack and his less than stellar performance. For all his good looks, the man had no moves. Was it the tequila shots? Some men couldn’t handle their liquor and their women in the same night. In her own experience, she thought alcohol improved her sex drive, lowered her inhibitions, and generally made naked encounters with men much more exciting. She’d have to rethink this approach. Either way, in her current state of undress, the insufficient stimulation after they left Paradiso clung to her like slime-coated cellophane.

She inched across the mattress and paused, listening for a change in Court’s breathing. If she could sneak away without waking him, it would save her a headache. She never wanted to see him again. Uggg, she groaned to herself when he rolled over and his hand brushed her side.

His eyelids fluttered before opening. The whites of his eyes were bloodshot. Treasure swallowed and wished she had pretended to be asleep. A sly grin crept across his face. His body had originally attracted her, but those damned dimples sealed the deal.

The dimples reminded her of Bodie and sent her mind reeling with vivid memories of her friend and work partner. When you watched Bodie smile, you had to search for the dimples, like they were a secret hiding just below the surface. Bodie’s dimples weren’t as deep as Court’s, but Bodie’s were sexier. She wished she could see them now, damn it. Why was Bodie always on her mind?

“Hi. I won our bet. You owe me a fantasy.”

“Hi to you too,” Bodie said on the other end of the line. “Where are you?”

“Granite Lake. I, umm,” Shivers crept over her skin after mentioning Granite Lake with Bodie’s voice in her ear. She wanted a replay of their night together. She needed him triply bad after her experience with Court.

“Hmm….” he hummed into the phone.

She didn’t know if any sexual innuendo existed in the smooth purr coming out of him, or if it was the sound of curiosity being answered, but her inner thighs shivered. The phone beeped its low battery warning. Tamping down her lust, she said, “It’s not as great as it sounds. I have a mess to clean up at my dad’s old place. And I have a disaster at work to handle when I return to civilization. Cheer me up before my phone dies.”

“No charger?”

“Uh-uh. I rushed to get to the mountains and accidentally left it behind.”

“What’s going on at the ambulance barn?”

“I don’t want to get into it.”

“That bad?” he asked.

“Sort of.” And worse, she thought to herself. “Working with you was a thousand times better.”

“About that…” he said.

Treasure filled the gap. “You’re a total punk. A paramedic demigod compared to what I’ve been dealing with.” She didn’t want to rehash her time spent with Court. Luckily Bodie shifted gears.

“Boosting up my ego again? You better watch yourself Treasure or I’m going to think you’re a nice girl or something.”

“I can be nice. When I want to.” Treasure walked into the apartment and curled up on the couch.

“You may not be so kind when I tell you my news.”

“I’m not sure I can handle any more bad news today. Can’t you just tell me your naughtiest fantasy before my phone dies? I need something tantalizing to get me through the night.”

“You’re so not ready for one of my fantasies.”

“Now you have to tell me. I promise I can handle it.”

“I don’t think so. Besides, I didn’t agree you won,” he said.

“I did. But since you object, I’ll tell you a secret.”

She almost said, ‘I can’t wait to see you again. You’ve totally ruined my chances at ever having a worthwhile orgasm and you need to help me out immediately.’ Instead, she bit her lip. They weren’t a couple and she didn’t know what he thought about jumping into a relationship. “I miss you, Bodie. Work was pure hell this week.”

He stayed silent for a beat too long. Treasure regretted her confession. Speaking her emotions was difficult. She’d rather have a root canal in most cases. The secret she shared wouldn’t be hard for any normal person to say aloud, but it felt a little too real for Treasure. In the next moment, she erased her regret. She wanted to be truer to herself where Bodie was concerned.

“Now it’s my turn. I miss you too. I’m fantasizing about a hot day.” He paused again.

Treasure’s dour outlook perked up a bit. She liked when he said “fantasize,” and “hot.”

“You and me,” he continued. “I want to take the boat out on the lake. You up for it?”

“Definitely,” she said.

“Good.”

He didn’t continue like she hoped.

“That’s it? That’s your fantasy?”

“No. Of course there’s more. It has to be hot enough to swim. We’ll bring beer. Good beer. IPA beer. And chips and donuts. Why you like those awful mini powdered donuts is beyond me.”

She smiled into the phone. “And mini cherry pie.”

“Yeah, those too. And I can’t wait to put my hands on you…” he paused for affect.

Treasure held her breath imagining his hands on her body.

“And push your ass into the water.”

“Nice. Real nice,” she said sarcastically. “Your fantasy is lacking…umm,” she paused, searching for the right words. “Zing. Zest. Color. Sexiness. Give me something to warm me up and keep me company while I sleep.”

“What are you talking about? My fantasy is perfect.” He sounded offended. “I’ll let you wrap your hands around my…fishing pole if you want.”

“Fishing pole better be code for something else, Bodie Everett,” she warned, and laughed when she heard him snickering.

A Publishing Mistake Made Right – When Amazon Screws Up

Posted on March 28, 2017 by jodyakessler

My sincere apologies if Amazon sent you the wrong book file of Dark Fates.

Authors sometimes band together and bring readers incredible box set collections. We do this for many different reasons. Personally, I like collaborating with other authors in my genre (or similar genres) because it’s fun, and working with a variety of brilliant authors teaches me a great deal about marketing and promotions. The readers get an unbelievable deal and the opportunity to sample many authors’ work for mere pennies! The authors benefit by reaching a broader audience. Everyone wins.

So when 3 months of hard pre-order work is squashed by Amazon making a ridiculous mistake and sending out nearly 4 thousand wrong book files, everyone loses.

But wait, there’s more. I won’t let one soul-crushing moment from Amazon delivering the wrong book to my precious and appreciated readers ruin the day –

HERE’S a FREE offer from the authors of Dark Fates –

If you would like a free ibooks or B&N copy of Dark Fates, sign up by clicking the appropriate link below. This is our way of trying to fix the problem and make things right after the mega-huge-mongo-enormous bookseller screws up and crushes 22 authors’ dreams at once.

FREE iBooks copy – CLICK HERE (sorry – giveaway is over)

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This situation is truly out of my control and I am stuck waiting on my own copy of Dark Fates from Amazon just like you are. Does this surprise you? – of course I preordered my own book.

I can guarantee that I’m just as excited to see my published novel as much as any die-hard fans are. Being published is one of the most exciting days in an author’s life.

Call of the Dragon by Victoria Pinder

Daphne Drake’s grandmother died and left her with nothing, so she takes a short term job to Italy as a personal assistant to see the world and save a little money. Once there she meets the mysterious Robert De Marco, a famous horror writer who loves to write dragon tales.

Robert recognizes that Daphne is his Dragon mate he went to find and he’s at first surprised by her innocence. He quickly marries her and returns to her Maine, where Daphne must either come into her powers or be destroyed. What neither of them expected was love to be another reason to win.
