First, if you’re taking part in the Seventy Days of Sweat Challenge, go over to Larissa’s blog and soak up a bit of inspiration and then check in with your word count.
Quite a few book covers on MySpace caught my attention this week. The first, To Hell With Love by Sherri Erwin, has an intriguing premise in that I think the hero is the devil…yeah, that one. Not the easiest idea to pull off. I’m intrigued. Here’s the cover copy:
“You like to sin, Kate?”
When Boston interior designer Kate Markham meets real estate mogul Owen Glendower at a dinner party, sparks fly. Not only is Owen GQ-cover, drop-dead sexy and filthy rich, he has a maddeningly seductive way of knowing intimate details about her. Details that send heat rushing to her cheeks not to mention certain other parts of her body. Swept deliciously off her feet, Kate lets herself fall into a breathtakingly sensual journey she hopes will never end, even when Owen reveals his little secret: he happens to be Hades, ruler of the underworld and the devil himself!
Caught in the fiery-sweet grip of a desire so consuming, Kate must choose between her business, her family, her life on Earth, and spending eternity in Hell with Owen. Then, out of the blue, family tragedy strikes, shaking her out of a rapturous trance to face the decision of a lifetime. Will she spend eternity with this devil of her dreams or follow her conscience back to earthly reality?
The second book travels in the other direction. It sound like the ultimate out-of-body experience. The book is You Had Me At Halo by Amanda Ashby.
The publisher describes it like this:
Holly Evans has just seen her own body laid to rest. Now she would like to move onto the afterlife. But apparently she has some mortal baggage to unload first, starting with the matter of how she died. Her heavenly shrink isn’t buying that she didn’t kill herself- and says she must return to earth to straighten things out. The thing is, she needs to borrow the body of computer geek Vince Murphy to do it. Oh, and although Vince was supposed to have vacated the premises, he apparently never got the memo.
Now, Holly has forty-eight hours to resolve her issues while sharing arms, legs, and…other things…with a guy she barely noticed while she was alive. But the real surprise is what life has to offer when you have only two days to live it.
What do you think of these? Any interest?
