Aneesa Price Showcase

Today I am featuring Author Aneesa Price.
This wonderful lady happens to be one of my favorite authors as well as one of my best buddies! From the first moment I chatted with her I loved her to pieces, & after reading one of her books I couldn't get my hands on the next fast enough. I began with her adult paranormal series, The Coffin Girls. Soon after she talked me into giving contemporary romance a try while awaiting the next in that series. I quickly devoured the rest of her books & found myself begging for more. (Hey ... I ain't too proud to beg! LOLz) I owe Aneesa Big Thanks since she happens to be the reason I now read as much of those contemporary romances as I do.
Soooo....may I introduce you to  
Aneesa Price
  ♥
Aneesa Price writes romance and lives it with her university sweetheart and husband. After having surmounted the challenges of being in a bi-racial marriage in the newly democratic South Africa, she now attributes her marital bliss to purposefully added spice and passionately resolved differences. After living in a variety of cities in South Africa, as an expat, she’s ready to explore the world with her husband and two daughters. 
Aneesa completed her internship in counseling psychology and went on to work first as a therapist and then in Corporate Finance in on projects and in organizational change. This diversity in experience, coupled with her understanding of the human psyche, is translated into her writing through the creation of believable, flawed characters with the innate ability to overcome adversity. 
She writes to give her readers the gift of experiencing the new and fascinating, something she strives for herself when she explores new places, reads, cooks with her kids or goes picking for antiques with her husband. She welcomes new connections so feel free to 'friend' her on facebook or follow her on twitter.

My Review:
 5 Stars
Full of spice & life!, February 11, 2013
I am completely in love with Finding Promise...the town, the people, & their story!!! This novel takes us on a journey that is much more than a simple love story. Full of depth & charisma it didn't take long to feel for these characters & what they were going through. Although I did not expect to feel so strongly about their decisions. I found myself sharing in their laughter, heartache, & most of all their self discovery. Isn't it funny how we grow ... not always realizing how much our past affects & influences us? I love the endless possibilities we find when we take a moment to reflect & take back control. Don't get me wrong, this is so much more than a love story! It's full of excitement & laughter too. I love how Caroline attacked her issues, & I especially loved how Luke attacked his! =) The community of Promise is a wonderful magical place that I look forward to visiting again & again!

5 Stars
Once again Aneesa succeeds in transporting us to this magical world full of romance, action, & excitement! I am a true Aneesa Price Addict...constantly needing more, more, more!!! 
Did I mention that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS STORY?!? It is terrific! There is a spicy rasul scene that was very enlightening, & Sylvain's secret place was absolute perfect! Every bit of the story kept my attention fully! The only thing I would have wanted would be more pages. HeeHeeHee That seems to be a never ending problem with me. ROFL Not because the book did not have enough, because I did not feel cheated in any way. The story ended perfectly! I just always want to jump right in to the next part. Can't wait to see where our Coffin Girls take us next!

Something Extra:
Rhonda Plumhoff, the cookbook author of Literary Chocolate, A Second Helping, created these two recipes for Aneesa Price’s characters, Caroline (from Finding Promise) and Miss Suzette (from Coffin Girls):
Chocolate Mocha Crème Brulee
Caroline had led the life of a high society daughter and wife, one that was filled with soul-destroying emotional abuse. Upon the death of her husband, she finds that she is financially incapable of supporting herself and flees New York without a plan or destination in mind. Her travels lead her to Promise, a small town on the New England coast.
Following instinct, she settles in Promise and begins to explore her new found independence and the pleasurable side of love with ruggedly handsome local, Luke Edwards.
Her financially privileged upbringing had provided her with the opportunities to travel and with her love for cooking; she shares culinary delights from all over the world with the willing residents of promise. But her new-found contentment is shattered as past resurrects itself and she needs to find the courage to face it before she can truly re-build her life.
Ingredients
* 2 3/4 cups heavy cream
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 cup prepared espresso (strong black coffee)
* 8 egg yolks
* 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
* 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for topping
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325° degrees. Place 8, (6 ounce) ramekins on a baking sheet.
In a heavy sauce pan over medium heat, add cream, sugar, vanilla and espresso. Stir to dissolve the sugar, and heat until cream begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Place egg yolks in a large bowl, and slowly whisk in the hot cream mixture, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until you have added approximately half the cream mixture to the yolks. At this point, pour in the remaining cream mixture and whisk smooth. Stir in chocolate chips, and let rest for 5 minutes. Stir the mixture until chocolate is smooth and creamy. Pour evenly into ramekins, cook for 30 minutes in preheated oven. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 45 minutes at room temperature. Refrigerate for 6 hours. Before serving; move the oven rack to the top position in the oven, preheat oven to broil. Sprinkle the tops of each Crème Brulee with granulated sugar, evenly coating. Place ramekin on baking
sheet, and place under the broiler until sugar bubbles and turns a light caramel brown. Keep an eye on sugar it bubbles fast and you do not want it to burn. Serve immediately.
Yields 8 servings
Voodoo Chocolate Beignets

This endearing Voodoo, Cajun mama is a favorite character of many who read Coffin Girls. She rules the kitchen of Papillion Plantation, the majestic mansion of the witch-vampire sisters, with a wooden spoon and gruff affection. What’s more, she’s the human that grounds the powerful Coffin Girls and who encourages them to overcome the risky challenges that they face, including those that touch their magical hearts.
Miss Suzette is known for her Voodoo, or ‘kitchen magic’ but she is also a whizz with culinary creations believing that food replenishes the soul and nourishes the heart.
Ingredients
* 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
* 1/4 cup warm water
* 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar
* 1/3 cup heavy cream
* 1/4 cup hot water
* 1 egg, lightly beaten
* 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* Vegetable oil for frying
* Confectioners’ sugar for dusting
Directions
Before you begin to deep fry beignets, fill pan with oil until 3 inches deep, heat vegetable oil to 350° degrees in a deep heavy pot, over medium-high heat (or deep fryer).
Sprinkle yeast over warm water in a small bowl, stirring to dissolve. Let stand for 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, heavy cream, hot water, egg, shortening, and salt; stir in yeast mixture. Mix dough just until combined and smooth. Let dough rest in bowl, covered with a clean kitchen towel, 30 minutes. Transfer dough to a well-floured surface. Roll dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 2-inch squares. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let dough rise in a warm, draft-free area, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Fry beignets until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turning as soon as they brown on one side. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. While still warm, give beignets a generous dusting of confectioners’ sugar.
Yields 20 beignets
