My Bestsellers

Wednesday, June 12, 2013 in Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , , | Leave a comment

I just visited my Amazon Author page and noticed this:

Bestselling Books:
Like any other author, I love each of my stories and the characters in each book, so I automatically compared the three books to find out why these books stood out from all of my novels. Please feel free to help me with the comparison.

Final Sin

Deputy Sheriff Commander Jake Carson has his hands full with the investigation of a brutal multiple homicide, a troubled son and a vindictive ex-wife when he meets young, free-spirited paramedic Julie Jennings. He is immediately drawn to her and finds himself unexpectedly falling in love. Julie finds herself just as drawn to him.

When Julie becomes the subject of an obsession, it puts both of their lives in extreme danger… Romance… danger… adventure… suspense… another great Chelle Cordero novel sure to grab listeners from many genre!

Final Sin was an Honorable Mention in the Fiction Category of the 2010 NY Book Festival & a 2009 Pushcart Prize nominee.

Available in Paperback  Kindle other eBook  AudioBook

Hostage Heart

Life was hard after the hurricanes swept through, destroying her parents’ home and livelihood…Deanna did the only thing she could do. She moved to New York City, found a job, worked hard, scrimped and saved to send what little she could manage back home to Louisiana to her parents. An errand for her boss – a chance encounter with a crew of bank robbers – a kind man who tried to help her and deserved her courageous help in return… But he wasn’t the man she thought he was…no, he was so very much more!

Available in Paperback  Kindle  other eBook  & coming soon in Audio

Bartlett’s Rule

Bartlett’s Rule shares the story of Lon and Paige’s love affair; a romance filled with hardship, emotion, danger and triumph. Falling in love was never the challenge; being there for each other, knowing just what to say and making it work is the real test. Paige and Lon are real ; they are human, they cry and they laugh. Paige has to learn to trust. Lon has to learn to be patient.

Bartlett’s Rule was named one of Carolyn Howard Johnson’s Top Ten Reads for 2009

Available in Paperback  Kindle  other eBook

Cover for 'Final Sin'    Cover for 'Hostage Heart'    Cover for 'Bartlett's Rule'

The three heroines all share passion, strength, courage and compassion. Each one has dealt with crisis and has taken charge – Julie (Final Sin) is a life-saving paramedic; Deanna (Hostage Heart) took responsibility for her family’s recovery after the devastation of a hurricane; and Paige (Bartlett’s Rule) is a survivor of personal trauma.
Each story is filled with suspense, danger, life threatening situations, passion and Alpha-heroes. Each of these books has settings that are integral parts of the plot. …and each story involves family relationships that help to mold the characters.
Please share your thoughts and help me to compare these books.
