Will a Cheeky Angel help herself??

November 17, 2011 By Mimi Barbour 41 Comments

Hello my friends….I have great news!

For the first time since I’ve become an author, one of my books is up for an award!!!

i Book Buzz, a monthly club of writers and readers accepts submissions each month from a different genre and then choose five books as their finalists. These books are listed and must be voted on in order to pick the winner who will be honoured to be Book of the Month.

“My Cheeky Angel” has been chose as one of the five paranormal books for this month and I really need your vote. (I’m quite far behind the others! sob!)

So….if you’d like to see a cheeky angel get to first place,  please vote here at  iBookBuzz    


Thank you for visiting my blogsite and welcome to the Gratitude Giveaway Blog Hop!
If you leave me your E-mail address and a comment telling me what you want from Santa this year, two lucky winners will win an e-book copy of my new release on November 25th

Abbie Taylor has a thousand things to do before the big day, help the vicar with his needy families, organize the Christmas nativity, and spare time for a distraught baby at the orphanage who only settles when she’s near. Falling into a coma while her spirit resides inside a prickly, big shot businessman doesn’t work for her at all …until she falls in love.

How could Marcus Chapman be so unlucky? First he’s saddled with his newly widowed mum, and the next thing he knows, he has an annoying spirit invader who’s instantly aware that he isn’t nearly as tough as he makes out. Between these two manipulating women, and the orphans Abbie forces him to visit, the poor man doesn’t stand a chance. The season is Christmas, and love is all around.

Excerpt:

      Maybe it was the eagerness in her voice, or maybe just her words, but whatever she said made him smile. Up till then, he’d seemed like a stranger looking back at her. Then his smile changed everything. Unfortunately, it didn’t last too long. But she’d seen enough and decided right away that he had a dear face. Not what one would call handsome, more like interesting. She’d bet that his full head of messy hair cut short and worn close to his head normally didn’t look so scruffy. That wouldn’t be his style at all.

      His piercing green eyes didn’t have the same sparkle as his mother’s. They were ruthless and compelling, slightly haughty and intense, and the shrewdest stare she’d ever come across. She felt as if he were trying to find her inside of him by staring into his own eyes.

     “Can you see me?” She teased.

     “I do believe I can. I went slightly crossed-eyed for a moment, and I have no doubt that was you sneaking a peek.”  When he grinned, dimples appeared on both sides of his mouth and created a whole different impression. This man devastated with his attractiveness, his charisma.  

     Unequivocally, Abbie knew at that moment, not only had her spirit joined with his, but also her heart now faced a challenge. She’d never believed in love at first sight, more fool her. She shut down her corridor to him and curled up into a small ball lodged inside his body. This needed a great deal of thought. She had to talk herself out of this nonsense, and quickly.

    What do I want from Santa this year? Well, I'd like to get to spend the week with my family but we're in four different countries and can't get together this year. 🙁 I already know I'm getting tickets for a Rammstein gig (as I already have them) which is what I really really wanted… I'm also hoping to get a Kindle from him! ^^

    Dear Santa, please send me a Chapters Kobo Vox because it's really pretty and my books that I reread always fall apart. Please also consider a nice gift card so that I can buy some books. And… well, you know… world peace is always nice.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

    Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. I did choose two lucky winners who rec'd a copy of Together for Christmas – Bonnie and Darlene. The rest I've tried to send you a consolation prize which is a copy of MY Cheeky Angel. Unfortunately, some of your e-mail addresses have been sent back by the postmaster so if you haven't heard from me, please e-mail me at mimibarbour@hotmail[dot]com and i'll be pleased to send you a copy.
    Have a wonderful Christmas season each and every one of you.
