Stella Marie Alden loves Zumba, yoga, watercolor painting, and all genres of romances,
Her first book, ‘How to Train Your Knight’, won Romance Writers of America coveted Molly and Show me the Sparks Contests, and placed in four others. Truly remarkable, considering she’s only been writing for three years.
Growing up in Vermont, she loved to make up stories. Crayons fought each other over size and placement in their cardboard box and imaginary friends crowded the house. Her brother often complained. “Tell her no one’s here, Mother.".
Her career paths have varied. She’s been a librarian, a classical clarinetist wanna-be, recording studio engineer, broadcast electronics repairman, and now she architects software programs. She lives in Bergen County, NJ with her life-long hero and their two cats. Her two girls are grown but ever supportive. You go Mom!
The last day of August! Are you ready for September? The only thing I’m ready for is better and more relaxing times; thank goodnes for books. In the meantime let’s got lost in Monday Madness!
This week’s freebie is Suds and Sam Fried Cal! We’re showing so much love to our favorite couple in anticipation of the newest book Suds and Sam on the Lam (coming SOON!). Make sure to check out Fried Cal to see how they continue their hot romance and juggle their chaotic murder solving careers.
*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review*
I almost didn’t download this ARC for one simple reason… I don’t want other readers thinking I’m giving it a 5 star rating because of it. However like a user needing her fix, I hit download and prayed like Sam that this book was as good as the other because I need to know what happens.
I was not disappointed. Not even a little. There has been only 1 other series I’ve read that I’ve given multiple books 5 stars. Don’t be offended but authors usually let me down after book 2 sometimes they wait till 3, it happens non the less. Stella didn’t do that. She writes words that I want to keep reading. She writes in a way that sucks you in and keeps you there till the very end.
I know this is a glowing review, it’s sickening. That’s how good this book is though. That’s how good this series is. I want to find fault just so I feel like I haven’t lost my captious heart. At the end of the day though it just works! Its got everything you want in a book. Unless you don’t like a little sexy time. Then maybe you could find fault.
A hot hero alpha male. A smart, brave she hero a she-ro if you will. Action, adventure, comedy, lovins, friendship, a healthy relationship. It’s just a good combo.
Murder. Framing. Adventure. Kidnapping. Rescue mission. Crazy cat. You can’t stop till it’s all done. Seriously, go read it then come back and reply to this and let me know if I’m wrong. Or even if you agree.

Free Audiobook For ‘The CEO’s Valentine’
Gah, I may have to take a few hours off from the day job to finish my next book.
The deadline is Sunday night.
Lust and desire light up the night in this first of four steamy stories of paranormal passion.
Jack’s about to lose his friends, family, and even his life unless he finds a powerful witch to call his own. Fate brings him the perfect woman except for one fatal flaw. She never learned the art of dangerous foreplay, the mating duel.
Stella here, writing away like mad. I needed a cold shower this morning after writing a heated love scene from Suds perspective. And yes, there were tie-wraps involved. In case you missed them, here’s my addition to this week’s #FREEBIES
On Bookfunnel, I have three complete short stories for free.
Lucky
One minute, we’re living the dream. The next, her baby shower explodes and she’s kidnapped by terrorists. There’s no excuse for what she does next.
Callie
Lucky’s nightmares have morphed into day-terrors. He’s drinking, too, which isn’t like him at all. He says he wants to reenlist but, in his condition, he’ll surely get killed.
I can’t lose him.
That’s why I stage an intervention.
A Stand-alone Patten Securities novel with heated scenes, swearing, and a Happily-Ever-After.
I’m her husband, a bodyguard. I should’ve kept her safe.
