Harvest Dance

(Bluestar Island #2)

By Jennifer Faye

Contemporary Romance

Paperback & ebook, 350 Pages

September 12, 2021 by Lazy Dazy Press

“Beneath the harvest moon…
true love can bloom.”

A single dad, who’s in over his head, and an event planner running from her past, are drawn together on charming Bluestar Island by a determined seven-year-old and her escape-artist goat.

Event planner, Charlotte “Aster” Smith, has fled the only life she has ever known. The situation has left her questioning her own judgment as she cautiously tries to create a new life for herself on Bluestar Island. Taking the job of event coordinator for the small town is a step in the right direction. The only problem is it’s currently a part-time position, but the mayor suggests with additional funding the position could transform into a full-time job. In the meantime, she needs a second job in order to stay financially afloat.

Farmer and single father, Sam Bell, is struggling to keep his aging farm from going bankrupt while raising his young daughter. And now that his daughter’s babysitter is heading off to college, he needs help. So when he finds Aster is in need of work, he thinks his problems are solved. But things aren’t always what they seem. And he can’t help wondering what Aster is keeping from him.

In the lingering rays of a Bluestar Island sunset, Sam and Aster find themselves dancing upon the sand. As they help each other heal, the possibility of a future together becomes tangible. But will the ghosts from their pasts extinguish this budding romance?

Includes a delicious recipe for Aster’s Amazing Apple Cobbler!

Just then a young girl climbed out of the passenger side of the truck and slammed the door shut. A distinct frown pulled at her pretty face. Her pigtails fluttered in the breeze. ''We'll never find him.''

The defeated tone of her voice struck Aster. Sympathy welled up in her. She immediately wanted to help the girl, but she had no idea who was lost.

The man turned to the girl. He knelt in front of her and proceeded to tenderly swipe a tear from her pale cheek. ''He'll tum up when he gets hungry."

Her chin wobbled as crocodile tears splashed onto her cheeks. ''You promise?''

The man didn't say anything for a moment. ''Why don't you go check in back? Maybe he returned.''

Her eyes lit up with hope. ''Okay."

When the little girl took off running around the house, he turned his attention back to Aster. ''Sorry about that. Now what were you saying about some apples?''

It took Aster a moment to gather herself after watching that touching moment between father and daughter. ''Uh ...never mind. It's not a good time. I'll come back later." She turned to walk away.

''No. Wait." When she turned back, he said, ''The thing is I never promised you any apples. I would have remembered that.''

Walking off the stage, which was little more than a raised platform, Matthew felt, well, not exhilarated, but not drained either. He felt good.

Matthew had given a great performance along with the rest of the band, but he’d gotten energy back from the audience as well. It felt more like an exchange than his energy being sucked or poured out of him. He wasn’t sure how to describe it, but it was different, and it made all the difference.

He could do this.

And his band was incredible. Wayne and John had a backbeat chemistry that rocked the house and Kato played like a rock star. Looked like a rock star. Matthew wanted to rock him.

He sighed, staring at Kato’s ass in those tight jeans. They were all dripping with sweat, and the humid night air did nothing to cool him as they pushed equipment out to the van. They loaded up and piled in, all pressed too close together with the equipment. It was fine for going to and from the gigs from the hotel but traveling hours on the road to the next beach town made for cramped quarters. It kept Matthew entirely too close to Kato.

At the hotel, they left the equipment in the van. Matthew considered the sleeping situation. Rooming with John wouldn’t save them enough to buy new transportation, so he left it alone. He didn’t want to double with him, and they could afford three rooms with John and Matthew having the two singles, while Kato and Wayne bunked together.

“Hey, Matt!” Kato drew his attention.

John looked over at them, lips pressed together, but he went inside when Matthew unlocked his door.

Matthew expected sooner or later, someone would complain. “Yeah? Are you going to ask me about rooms?”

He pushed into Matthew’s room. “Sort of.”

Matthew’s pulse kicked up, and he swallowed hard. “We talked about that before.”

“Yeah, well, this is sort of different.”

Matthew reluctantly shut the door behind him. “Different how?”

Kato stepped into his space, bringing them nose to nose. He made the sexiest noise Matthew had ever heard.

Matthew couldn’t breathe.

“I’m thinking maybe you could share with me instead of Wayne. You’re a lot sexier.” He stepped closer, their noses touching.

“Uh, I-I don’t—”

“Yes, you do.”

“Oh, I do, but this isn’t—” John would not take this well. It could fuck up everything.

“A good idea? Yeah, I thought about that, and I’m not really caring.”

“Stop interrupting me.”

Then Kato pressed his lips against Matthew’s. The world stopped. Electricity tingled Matthew’s lips and pulsed down to his cock. He grabbed Kato’s shirt, scrunching it in his hands at the shoulders. He wanted nothing more than to have his hands all over the man. Everything about him rang Matthew’s bells and revved him up, and as Kato slid his tongue between Matthew’s lips, he found he didn’t care how bad this idea was, since his brain had stopped functioning the moment they’d touched.

BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY ~ Bly by Kelsey Ketch

Today is my post during the blog tour for Bly by Kelsey Ketch. Bly is a standalone contemporary fantasy book with mystery and horror.

This blog tour is organized by Lola's Blog Tours and the tour runs from 20 September till 1 October. You can see the tour schedule here.

Bly
By Kelsey Ketch
Genre: Contemporary Fantasy/ Ghost Story
Age category: New Adult
Release Date: 22 September, 2021

Blurb: I left the United States to find inner peace. Instead, I find myself confronting a malicious ghost.

Astyr Salt is a spiritual and emotional empath who moved to England with the intent to forget about a traumatic, supernatural event that occurred during her freshman year of college. However, when she takes a spiritual cleansing assignment in a haunted country home in Essex, she is isolated with all her own pent-up emotions.

These emotions energize the ghosts inhabiting the country home, helping them draw their own tragedies to the surface. Searching for the truth, Astyr is forced to relive the past. And the deeper she dives into the country home’s horrific history, the more the intertwined memories place her in the path of an evil and demented predator.

A blend of contemporary fantasy, horror, and mystery, Bly is inspired by Henry James’s classic novella, The Turn of the Screw.

Turning onto a long, gravel driveway, a four storey, stone mansion appears framed in the minicab’s windshield. The style resembles a castle rather than a country home. At least, any country home that I’ve ever seen. Then again, I’m in England, not the southeastern region of the United States. The car pulls in front of the massive oak door, from which I’m half expecting the cast of Downton Abbey to emerge, and comes to a full stop. Without a word, the driver slides out of his seat to open the trunk and fetch my luggage. My nerves on edge, I gently touch the pentacle bracelet Nolyn gave me to feel his calming energy radiate from the tourmaline. Then, pulling Litten’s backpack carrier with me, I step out of the car. My eyes are unable to steer themselves away from the various gray stones and the muntins of the immense windows. Despite being a bright and sunny day, there is a dark shroud over the house. An ominous aura that is pulsing with both anger and sorrow. It’s obvious this home has witnessed a lot of tragedy.

I pause as everything grows still. The birds overhead stop singing. The soft breeze comes to an abrupt halt. I don’t even hear the driver shuffling my travel bags behind me. Yet, my other senses pick up an unearthly presence as the temperature drops to the point my fingertips grow numb. I turn my head to look up at the parapet surrounding the third-level balcony, focusing near the turret. There is nothing but thin air to the naked eye. However, by the icy goose bumps unraveling across my skin and the raised hairs along my lower arms and neck, I can tell I’m being watched. I can’t determine if it’s the energy of a spirit or something else. All I know is that I have caught its undivided attention.

The click of the minicab’s trunk snaps me out of my thoughts, and the world rushes back to life while a crow’s caws echo from the nearby treetops. I turn around and draw out my purse. The driver holds up his hands as if in surrender. “No need, ma’am. The fare has already been covered.”

I slump my shoulders. Of course. Mr. Hellings did say he would handle every expense. Still, I continue to open my purse and draw out twenty pounds. I hold the money out to the driver.

“A tip,” I inform him. “Thank you for bringing me here.”

The driver gives me a nod of his cap and takes the money. “Would you like any help with your luggage, ma’am?”

I glance at the two travel bags by the rear tire of the car. “No need. I’ll be able to handle it from here.” Besides, I don’t need whatever is in the house feeding off his energy. The fewer people around, the better, until I have an understanding of what is going on.
