Their eyes locked, and Drew was suddenly very conscious of the thinness of her sweater, the heat of the room, the flash of light in her eyes. In that moment, he would have preferred removing the skin from his forearm with a carrot peeler to taking his hands off her.

Do you believe in...love?

The only thing Violet and Drew seem to have in common is that neither believes in that psychic hoo—hah. Except Drew seems to play exactly the right song at exactly the right time. And truth be told, it makes Violet's heart dance just a little ...

Review: I believe in Tawna Fenske’s Believe It or Not.

When Violet McGinn’s psychic mother lands in the hospital, Violet must take over her business, but all she would rather do is her safe job in accounting. Psychic abilities or not, Violet didn’t count on her mother’s shop’s neighbor, Drew Watson, and she to have such a connection from their first meeting. As a bar owner, Drew plays the right song at the right time for Violet to make her psychic predictions. Violet must find a way to embrace the craziness of life—and Drew.

Believe It or Not is a fast-paced read. Fenske’s humor delights and makes this page-turner even more enjoyable. Many times I was laughing out loud. The sexual tension between Violet and Drew is steamy hot. The characters are quirky and heart-warming. I just loved the interactions between them. Fenske excels at adding the right amount of setting and descriptions into her writing without going overboard.

Believe It or Not by Tawna Fenske is a hot and humorous novel that’ll keep the reader guessing. It takes no psychic to know it’s a fun, light read.

Description: She always wanted to belong . . . just not to a dysfunctional pirate crew.

Juli has trouble fitting in, though she'd prefer to keep the reasons to herself. But when she mistakenly stows away on a ship of misfit corporate castoffs, her own secrets become the least of her concerns.

He knows plotting a diamond heist may be considered unusual behavior . . .

But Alex isn't feeling very normal when his unscrupulous boss kicks him to the curb. Meeting Juli doesn't do much to restore normalcy to Alex's life either, but it sure is exhilarating!

As Alex and Juli bare their secrets—and a whole lot more—they find that while normal is nice, weird can be wonderful.

Review: Tawna Fenske's Making Waves is a hilarious wild ride with dashes of sweet romance.

Juli travels to St. John to honor her Uncle Frank's wishes for his cremated ashes to be tossed into the sea. Alex and his band of unlikely pirates arrive in St. John and plan to seize illegal diamonds from their former boss. When Juli accidentally stows away on Alex's ship, she has twenty-four hours to prove she belongs with Alex's ragtag crew and can help with the heist, if she can overcome her seasickness and use her attraction to Alex to further her cause.

Making Waves excels in adventure, humor, and sexy romance. Fenske's characters are quirky and unique; each one is unforgettable. They are probably the worst band of pirates, but hilarity ensues, creating unexpected plot twists that keep a reader guessing. Alex and Juli's chemistry deserves an A plus. The sweet secondary romance between Jake and Phyllis is perfectly awkward and a wonderful addition to the book. Fenske has brilliant wit with dialogue, filled with fun innuendo. This novel is definitely a must-read romantic comedy.

Dysfunctional pirates, humor, and romance abound in Making Waves by Tawna Fenske. I can't want to read more from this comedic debut author!
