New feature: Book of the Week      
  
 Since I'm going to see Hugh Jackman in The River this week, I picked Now and Forever, a Love Story to be the book of the week. Why? Because Mr. Jackman was the inspiration for Mac Caldwell, main hero in four of the five books in the Now and Forever series.
Meet Mac Caldwell

 Mac is a man's man. He's chivalrous, smart, protective, hard-working and dedicated to the welfare of his son. He's divorced and although he was a bit of a player before his marriage, he's changed. Now he's a little awkward and shy about dating, conscious of being a role model for his toddler.    When he falls for Callie Caldwell, a new girl at  Kensington State University, he's not sure how to get close to her without being inappropriate. Oh did I mention he's gorgeous & sexy as hell, with bright blue eyes. If you want to read about him, the book is FREE! Click HERE .

SECRET CRAVINGS ANNIVERSARY BLOG HOP!

Welcome! I'm Jean Joachim. I write contemporary romance and romantic suspense just skirting erotic at a three flame level. Writing, losing myself in a story is my favorite thing to do. 
One of the happiest days of my life was when I received my acceptance letter from Sandy Sullivan back in 2011 for Now and Forever, The Book of Danny. I was on top of the world, knowing that someone else loved my story and that I had found a home for my work. I have had story after story published there ever since. Thank you, Sandy, and SCP, for making my dream come true.

In honor of my publisher's anniversary, I'm giving away fridge magnets (4.5" x 5.5") to 10 lucky commenters (US only) and a $10.00 Amazon gift card (worldwide)! Here are the magnets and a bit about the books they represent:
LOVE'S LAST CHANCE

Questioning her decision to leave each of three attractive men five years ago in New York, Dorrie returns to the Big Apple for one more day with each. Was she hasty in her decisions to leave them behind? Will one of these men make her change her mind? Will her return to the past bring the love she is seeking or will loneliness propel her back into the arms of the one man who broke her heart?



LOVERS & LIARS
Alone in the world, Erica Wheeler needed a job or face eviction. The aspiring actress harbored a lifelong dream of movie stardom. She knew she had the talent, all she needed was a chance. Her roommate, Amy, plotted revenge on her former boss, sexy, bad-boy producer, Gunther Quill, for firing her. Together she and Erica bent the truth like a pretzel to get her a job working for Quill. He surprised her. Was he the same meanie Amy described or was he simply a smart, ambitious man on his way to the top?

One thing Gunther Quill hated was a liar. Tough, seductive and brilliant, he prided himself on being truthful. With his sharp, new assistant, Erica Wheeler, he’d soon be the most powerful producer of musicals in Hollywood and on Broadway. Nothing could get in his way, except maybe, falling in love.
