Featured Romance Novel
Jubilate
by Michael Arditti
'Carries you through with humour, warmth and, above all, the urgency of a great romance.' – The Guardian
'Combines a moving story of love against the odds with a moral debate on the nature of faith. Despite its serious theme Jubilate is a highly readable novel, full of humour and warmth.' – Sunday Express
'Closing this novel after reading the last page, one briefly believes in miracles, at least of the human redemptive kind.' – Independent on Sunday
'The reader retains a quiet sense of celebration indeed, jubilation as people face the crosses they must bear with as much dignity as they can muster.' – Daily Telegraph
'Arditti does indeed take the reader on a very different kind of a literary journey, as enjoyable as it is unusual. Jubilate is something to celebrate indeed.' – Independent
'Arditti is a nimble, dry guide to the meandering streets and kitsch architectural delights of Lourdes and the extremes of emotions it elicits from its pilgrims.' – The Times
'I was amazed at how emotional this book is. What makes the book so poignant, and so urgent, is that the ethics of choice, and how we care for one another, are made to matter, not just to the characters but also to the readers.' – Literary Review

Michael Arditti

Author Michael Arditti
Michael was born in Cheshire, England and educated at Rydal School, a small public school in North Wales with a rich tradition of choral music, which he loved, and rugby, which he loathed – as a contemporary aptly remarked: ‘I’m not sure what the spirit of Rydal is, except that it’s oval.’
He read English at Jesus College, Cambridge, his choice of college dictated largely by the prospect of being taught by the celebrated critic, Raymond Williams. Williams however, although officially his director of studies, had by then grown so disillusioned with teaching that he met him only twice during his university career. Michael is a regular book reviewer for several newspapers and an occasional arts critic for the BBC. Michael won an Oppenheim-John Downes Memorial Award in 2003 and Arts Council Awards in 2004 and 2007.
He is currently working on his eighth novel, The Breath of Night, set in the Philippines.

2 – Boots and Chaps, Ugly Stick Saloon, Book 1
by Myla Jackson
Jackson Gray Wolf is turning thirty, and what does he have to show for it? A ranch. No wife, no kids, no dates. He’s had his eye on the pretty owner of the Ugly Stick Saloon, but their one accidental encounter was interrupted before he could get her out of her take-me-now red cowboy boots.
Audrey Anderson isn’t in the market for a man. Been there, done that, has the scars to prove it. She retired her pole-dancing boots after purchasing the Ugly Stick Saloon, and now manages a stable of strippers. When she winds up one stripper short for a private party, she’s forced to slip on a mask and into the role of the mysterious Kiki.
Jackson didn’t want the birthday bash his twin brothers are throwing him, but his vow to ignore the rented stripper goes awry when she shows him exactly how far she’s willing to go—for all three of them.
Audrey can’t forget the sizzling heat between her and one sexy Kiowa in particular. Jackson. Trouble is, she’s not sure if he wants the bold, brassy Kiki, or if he’s ready for the wounded woman underneath. Read More…
