This is as ready as we can be for her “Ready Series”. Jennifer L. Berg broke into the contemporary romance writers’ scene with her two notable books “When You’re Ready” and “Never Been Ready” and her readers with great satisfaction have embraced both books, and I happen to be one of them……..
I had an opportunity to grill this fun, mother of two lovely kids and here’s Jennifer in her virtual avatar talking to B’Khush……….

I came across Kat Martin and her “Raines Series” quite by accident and a worthy accident it was. Besides the three Raines brothers, Jackson, Gabriel and Dev, the series also revolves around the whole group of private investigators and the women who give a good run for their love, egos and protectiveness. With stories of murder, love, loyalty and support, each one of them was a superlative ride of thrill and suspense.
The Raines Series transcends into the “Against Series” with the Brodies making their presence felt. Related to Ty Brodie from “Against The Mark”, I am looking forward to getting acquainted with Dylan, Nick and Rafe. Kat’s writing is an art of expression that keeps us on the edge of our seats. As much as the stories have the premise of suspense and thrill, each is as different as chalk and cheese. Not one story did I feel repetitious or had an urge skip.
Besides her Raines Series, I have a special fondness for her “Hunted Trilogy” Her “The Silent Rose” was one of my all time favorites. Even after knowing the suspense, I still enjoyed re-reading, more than twice. This book was a surprise read that had me completely captivated and mesmerized. With a surprise element of paranormal and the presence of a vengeful ghost, this book had me rooted to my couch until I read “The End”. In fact this story was based on real life events and was well worthy a read.
Jonathan Stafford and Devon James are such likeable characters with their painful pasts, and they come together as they take care of each other through their insecurities and fears. Despite the bizarre events, the story had an edge of calm and serenity about it. Despite the presence of the paranormal element, the chemistry between Devon and Jonathan was so very well etched and their characters were written to perfection.
Kat Martin is a thrilling read all the way! Check out her website and she’s got a lot more books under her belt.
As we go through the dramatics of our lives, as we deal with the various human-made hang-ups and as we try to keep up with pre-conceived notions, it’s good to remember that a partnership is a two way street.
Personally, being a Valentine is not about falling over each other at supermarkets to get those perfect roses, or those hours of surfing the web to get the perfect jewelry or the pressure of making sure you’ve got the reservations at that perfect restaurant. Showing love is not supposed to be stressful, heart attack inducing and pee in the pants experience!
For me a Valentine is about listening to your partner, leaving love notes occasionally, coming home to a dinner already cooked, linking hands and talking nonsense, warm hugs thrown in generously, small things done around the home without being talked about, stolen kisses and cheeky pecks, and most importantly, laughter in lives….daily lives….now that would be a Valentine Day everyday.
I don’t say it often or show as much as is required (not sure who set the standards) 😉 – my kinda Valentine tries to intrude into my world of silence as if he owns it, competes for attention with my countless books, rattles on about the stupidity of romance, tries to keep up with me via social forums, sings off key in the shower and in the car driving us nuts, believes in spontaneity and doing things from the heart, carries serious conversations with our teenagers from sports to boyfriends to condoms… and is absolutely not governed by occasions or dates…..and I (try to) stride along with all the annoyance and indulgence of a woman in love….
Thank you Sai, for being my lifelong Valentine…….for giving me an album of memories to last a lifetime…….and for just being you……putting up with my quirks and whims (not that I have any)….
Happy Valentine’s Day to all!!
PS: I still haven’t received any flowers or jewelry or chocolate…the end tables need to be assembled….laundry needs to be put away……the tap is leaking in the bathroom…….just kidding!!!!!
