Supporting people in our industry is something that I feel strongly about. I don’t have a lot of money or prestige myself, but I do what I can to support important causes, especially when it involves writers in need. In this case, Jo Leigh, lost her husband to cancer after a fairy tale reunion brought them back together. To read Jo Leigh’s story click HERE.

To help support Jo Leigh there is an auction being held on eBay with a ton of stuff you can bid on – critiques by authors, editors and agents, books, websites/graphics and lots of other fun things. Alison Kent has done up a whole page with the information and links to the auction items.

Here’s the info:

I was just thrilled to find this review in my inbox when I opened my email this morning.

Jhayboy from Romance Junkies gave Snowbound 4.5 Blue Ribbons and had this to say about it:

“M.G. Braden has given us a true love story, with all the urges and angst that make up a relationship. The story has its cupid moments where you have to smile at the things people get up in the name of love and there are the moments where you clench your fist and just hope Cassidy and Daniel can get past the hurt and the anger.”

Thank you, Jhayboy!

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends – I hope you are blessed with a day full of family, friends and love.

I was lucky enough to receive an Advance Bound Copy of this book awhile back. I follow Alison’s blog regularly and we both write for Romancing the Blog. I can’t remember what made me start following Alison’s career, but I think it was during the Brava contest in 2007, or maybe even prior to that. I actually think I read her husband’s blog (before I even realised he was her dh) and then jumped over to hers. Who knows now, but I really enjoy her. I love her blog posts and reading about both her writing and her family.

Maximum Exposure comes out one week from today and is quite the hot read. I read it all in one sitting. Here is the official blurb:

Finn McLain is no stranger to unusual assignments. But the gorgeous stranger who just asked him to photograph her for an erotic art exhibit—that’s definitely a first. Finn came to Miami to dig into the personal life of boutique manager Roland Green for a lovesick gallery owner, and hadn’t planned on sticking around. But the boutique’s owner, Olivia Hammond, has just made him a proposal that’s as hard to ignore as Olivia herself. She’s got caramel-kissed skin, a body that makes grown men tremble, and a wild sideline as an exhibitionist. Ooookay. Yet despite her willingness to “let people look,” Finn’s convinced there’s a hell of a lot Olivia’s not revealing. And that’s the most intriguing prospect of all…

Olivia has never been shy about using her sexuality to get what she wants. But then, she’s never wanted a man quite the way she wants Finn. What he thinks about her shouldn’t matter, yet it does. Through every candid photograph and every heated encounter, Finn is getting closer, intent on getting beneath her shell—and for once, Olivia is tempted to let him. But first they have to contend with the fact that Finn’s simple investigation into Roland Green is getting dangerously complicated…and Olivia isn’t the only person in town who’s not what she claims to be.

In a city throbbing with sex appeal, two wary lovers are about to play the ultimate game of show and tell, where temptation is raw, wild, and hot enough to make you sizzle…

So, here’s the thing – the storyline between Olivia and Finn is fantastic and I loved it, BUT, for me, the storyline between Roman and Jodi made the book. Seriously, there’s a pool scene that… go Maximum Exposure (SG-5 Series)
the book and read it yourself, this blog is rated PG . Ooh, there’s also a warehouse scene (this time Finn and Olivia, very hot) and a… Really, you have to go buy the book, if only to read these scenes.

But it’s not all fun and games (although there’s enough of that, if you like that sort of thing ), there is danger and suspense too. My favourite things! To read about, that is. LOL

All in all, if you’re looking for a spicy contemporary with added suspense then Maximum Exposure is the book for you.

And for all you Brava fans, see if you can spot a familiar name(s) in some of Jodi’s friends at her apartment complex.

Once again, Maximum Exposure by Alison Kent is out on November 25. Why not beat the rush and go buy your copy now!

In the last week I’ve received several great reviews for my books and I’m so excited. Here are some snippets (for full review click the link on the reviewers name/info)

First, for Vampire Oracle: Harmony:

“I absolutely loved HARMONY! MG Braden did a beautiful job of weaving a very interesting story with the perfect amount of vampires that all paranormal lovers crave. The chemistry between Kara and Mark had me enthralled, hoping that the two lovers ended up together in the end, despite their obvious differences.”
~4.5 Blue Ribbons from Meg at Romance Junkies

“M.G. Braden spins a delightful read with The Vampire Oracles: Harmony. The heat between Kara and Marc acts like a blazing inferno. They emit emotions that bring out their joy, laughter, pain, even sorrow. This believable couple had me rooting for them throughout the story.”
