Throwback Thursday--Book Edition (Indescribably Delicious by Marcia Evanick)
This week I've dug back through my keeper shelf and found a Loveswept from 1990--Indescribably Delicious by Marcia Evanick. (Loveswept #404)
This is family romance at its best. If you come across a copy of this book, it's definitely worth a read.
Dillon McKenzie followed a tantalizing scent to his neighbor's kitchen... and found delicious temptation living next door!
Single mom Elizabeth Lancaster had raised her young son alone, and built a successful business creating scrumptious cakes and candies, but when she learned that a father and two sons had moved in nearby, she was delighted! Now Aaron would have kids to play with, and maybe she could pick up some fathering tips. But when Dillon kissed her in the moonlight and awakened a gorgeous firebrand, she showed him just what he'd been missing for so long. A brief, painful marriage had made Elizabeth wary of admitting she'd fallen in love, but once Dillon had given her hope, she had to risk telling the truth.
No man had ever called her beautiful and made her believe it until now, but could she and Dillon join their families, and their dreams?

Night of the Tiger is an Audiobook
To win the battle for his soul, he may have to sacrifice the woman who set him free.
Hades' Carnival, Book 1:
Aimee Horner lives and breathes her career as a graphic novel illustrator, but she never expected it would invade her dreams. In recent months, worsening nightmares have pulled her into the darkest corners of Hell. On a rare night out with friends at a traveling carnival, she finds herself strangely drawn to an abandoned carousel adorned with vividly exotic animals. One steed, a massive white tiger, is a temptation she can't resist. The moment she climbs upon him, her world changes forever.
More than 5000 years ago, Roric and his fellow shapeshifting warriors were imprisoned in their animal forms, a last-ditch effort by the goddess they served to save them from the horrors of Hell. With one special woman's touch, he has a chance at freedom and redemption - but the clock is ticking. If he is still alive in 24 hours, the spell will be broken, and Hell will have no claim on his soul. The only hitch is his blazing attraction to Aimee. If only he could trust that she isn't merely a distraction sent by Hades - luscious bait to lure him from his mission.
Warning: This audiobook contains an ancient curse, an imprisoned goddess, a graphic artist, and the hot shapeshifting immortal warrior who turns her life upside down while they battle Hades and his minions for their immortal souls. There is also plenty of hot sex between the heroine and her hot, shapeshifting warrior. Just saying.

Weekend Book Club--Trust No One by Jayne Ann Krentz
Jayne Ann Krentz is an autobuy for me, so it's not surprising that my first weekend book club for 2015 features her latest book TRUST NO ONE.
This has everything you'd expect from one of her books--action, mystery, witty dialogue, and a hero and heroine you can fall in love with.
BLURB:
It’s no coincidence when Grace Elland finds a vodka bottle next to the lifeless body of her boss, motivational speaker Sprague Witherspoon. The bottle is a terrifying—and deliberate—reminder of the horrors of her past.
Grace retreats to her hometown to regroup and tries to put everything she’s learned about positive thinking into practice—a process that is seriously challenged on the world’s worst blind date.
Awkward doesn’t begin to describe her evening with venture-capitalist Julius Arkwright. She has nothing in common with a man who lives to make money, but the intense former Marine does have some skills that Grace can use—and he’s the perfect man to help her when it becomes clear she is being stalked.
As Witherspoon’s financial empire continues to crumble around them, taking a deadly toll, Julius will help Grace step into her past to uncover a devious plan to destroy not only Grace, but everyone around her…

Craig's Heart in PRINT!
Look what came in the mail today!
Buy Craig's Heart in PRINT!
A vampire’s heart is not meant to beat this fast.
Legacy, Book 7
Craig Lawton’s life is full. Filled with normal things like work as a video-game creator and financial investor, and not-so-normal things like two half-werewolf siblings and a vampire best friend.
He’s accustomed to being the only human in the room…until he attempts to help a desperate, newly made vampire in the throes of her first transformation.
Evie Pelowski is a woman alone. Left alone in a filthy alley to become a monster like the one that attacked her, unable to control the bloodlust surging through her veins. Now she’s done the unforgivable—turned her Good Samaritan into a monster just like her.
They must face the future while coming to grips with their new realities. But despite a strong bond ignited by blood and forged in the heat of sexual desire, despite Craig’s unshakeable determination to teach her to trust, Evie knows nothing she loves ever stays. Especially when the vampire who made her wants her back—and he’ll kill anyone who gets in his way.
Warning: The transformative power of love collides with the bite of a vampire to create one heck of a love story. Mix in some smokin’ hot sex, some very nasty bad guys, a disgruntled family and an ancient vampire and you’ll be stretching your neck for a bite.

Heart of the Serpent has Arrived!
HEART OF THE SERPENT, my new Hades' Carnival novella, is finally here!
Thank you to all my readers who kept asking for Mordecai's story. And don't worry, there are two more Hades' Carnival novellas coming this year.
BLURB:
Just when you thought the Devil had gotten his due, he’s back for more.
Hades’ Carnival, Book 5
Now that the five-thousand-year curse that kept him and his fellow shapeshifting warriors trapped in animal form has been lifted, Mordecai doesn’t quite know what to do with himself. He is free—in theory.
Hell left its stain on his soul, and his relationship with the warriors who once trusted him is uneasy. The only bright spot in his life is Jessica, whose shining innocence he dare not taint with his inner darkness. But it’s getting harder and harder to stay away from her.
Jessica longs for the days she and Mordecai shared an easy friendship. Now he seems as distant as the stars. He denies there’s a problem, but she’s determined to penetrate his shields.
Hades has been plotting his revenge from his prison. He can’t harm Mordecai without harming himself. But there’s nothing to stop him from wreaking havoc by hurting the one woman Mordecai would give his life to protect—Jessica.
Warning: Vengeance, hot steamy sex and heart-melting romance.

Wolf in her Bed has been Joyfully Reviewed
WOLF IN HER BED
has received a wonderful review from Jo at Joyfully Reviewed.
"Watching as the entire Salvation pack helped Anny come to terms with her new life had me knowing that Anny and Armand’s life would be full of love and friendship even while the pack war rages on. Wolf in her Bed takes the horrors of a pack war and the wonder of love and mating, mixes them up, and proves that love will always win that battle." ~Jo
