BOOK SIGNING: Veronica Wolff, Jami Alden and Monica McCarty, Campbell CA

Hello Maidens!  Angela here.  I was lucky enough to attend a local book club where Veronica, Jami and Monica were doing a signing. It was a nice intimate meeting between the book club members and the authors.
There were brief introductions all around and everyone took turns talking about their recent reads and recommendations.
I must say that the ladies in this book club were very friendly. It was nice to discuss and recommend books face to face. Not everyone agreed, but they were outright honest. The books that were highly recommended are listed below this post.

Now about the pretty trio. To my surprise, I found out that these wonderful authors are local to the Bay Area. How cool is that? They were super nice, friendly and uber pretty. They discussed their recently released books and I have to say that these books are in the realm of "my cuppa" read.

Jami Alden

Run from Fear (Trilogy, #3)

With each step she takes, he tracks her every move, waiting for the perfect time. The perfect revenge. Until then, he'll watch her . . .RUN FROM FEAR

More than anything, Talia Vega wanted to leave behind her harrowing past. Moving eight hundred miles away, she succeeded . . . until the one man who knows her darkest secrets wanders into the restaurant where she works. Now the agonizing memories come crashing back-along with an undeniable desire for Jack Brooks, the ex-Green Beret who rescued her from a sadistic monster two years ago.

Jack Brooks knows that showing up unannounced is a purely selfish move. Talia doesn't need his protection anymore, but he can't get the raven-haired beauty out of his mind. And when a twisted madman is hell-bent on resurrecting her torturous past, Jack vows to do anything to keep her safe-even risk his own life to save the only woman he's ever loved.

Sierra Falls

Sierra Falls, California, is one of those sleepy towns that people choose to leave. Sorrow Bailey chose to stay behind and run the struggling family lodge, but has always yearned for more. Things look up when she discovers a collection of letters from her three-times great grandmother and namesake, telling the story of a forbidden love affair.

Billy Preston is the new sheriff, a widower escaping the grief of his former life. He helps out after an accident at the Bailey lodge, and what begins as admiration for Sorrow's quiet strength quickly becomes more. When Sorrow's discovery brings fame to Sierra Falls and her dreams of a better life are within reach, one too many "accidents" have Billy wondering whether someone is willing to kill to keep them off the map...

Monica McCarty

The Saint (Highland Guard #5)

Robert the Bruce consolidates lands and loyalty in a bold war for Scotland’s independence, as his elite team of warriors, the Highland Guard, fight for king, country . . . and love.

Magnus MacKay is the ultimate Highlander: tough, proud, able to master any terrain and to best his enemies. Called “the Saint” for his refusal to discuss women, as well as for his cool and steady leadership, Magnus hides a painful truth. It isn’t virtue or piety that keeps him silent, but a wound of love and loss that cuts so deep he cannot bear to speak of it. But when the woman who refused him is betrothed to his friend and fellow Guardsman, Magnus is tested by love’s battle cry.

A wild and innocent beauty, Helen chose family duty over her desire for Magnus. Now the anger in his eyes mirrors the tormented regret in her heart. But as deadly subterfuge stalks the King and his Guard, Helen vows to right her youthful mistakes with a woman’s determined spirit. Still, Magnus harbors secrets and an iron will not to weaken to temptation—or heartache—again. But as danger looms, it’s the kiss not of a saint, but of a sinner, that can save them.

And the funnest part was the UTC CONFESSIONS. At the end of the signing, the authors agreed to give me their full confessions of what kind of deeds they have done Under The Covers. Here's what they had to say.
