Weekend Book Club--Moon by Laurann Doher and My Darkest Passion by Carolyn Jewel

This past week, I've read two great books that are parts of series that I've been reading for a few years now.

The first book is MOON by Laurann Dohner, book 10 in the New Species series. If you haven't read this series yet and you love spicy hot, paranormal romance, stop reading this blog post and go buy book 1 (Fury). I do recommend reading them in order to get the maximum enjoyment out of the series.

Those of us who are already familiar with the series have been waiting for Moon's story, and the author does not disappoint. Emotional, sexy and action-packed enjoyment from start to finish. I can't wait for the next New Species book.

BLURB: MOON by Laurann Dohner

Dr. Joyce Yards has never met anyone as sexy or as irresistible as 466. He refuses to discuss anything except getting her naked beneath him. Their therapy sessions are growing hotter, his raw hunger for her is becoming aggressive, and she is falling for him. Joy knows the dire consequences if she gives in to desire. It will break her heart but she must walk away.

Moon has been drugged. He is feral and dangerous to everyone. The NSO doctors turn to the only female Moon ever cared about—the one who left him in the desert two years ago.

Moon isn’t the same male Joy once knew but she is willing to put her life on the line for him. There are no rules now. If sex tames the wild beast and triggers his fractured memories, allowing him moments of lucidity, then Joy will give him her body and her soul. She’ll do whatever it takes to save him.

A Romantica® paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave



The second book I read was MY DARKEST PASSION by Carolyn Jewel. This is book 5 in her My Immortal series. I stumbled across this author a few years ago and absolutely love this series. The demons are not always the bad guys and the humans who use magic aren't always the good guys. The female characters are particularly strong in this series and characters who are enemies in one book might find themselves as allies in another. A definite must-read for any reader of paranormal romance.

BLURB: MY DARKEST PASSION by Carolyn Jewel

Addison O’Henry has no idea magic is real or that the fragile peace between the magekind—humans who can use magic—and demons is about to shatter. All that changes the day she’s abducted by one of the magekind. After a ritual murder goes horribly wrong, Addison ends up with demon-sourced magic that nearly kills her. But for the intervention of demon Harsh Marit, she might not have survived. Though Harsh does what he can to help her return to what used to be normal, they both know her life will never be the same.

With corrupt mages threatening them both, her honor requires her to help Harsh and the demon warlord he serves. If that means accepting her power and the high rank it confers on her, so be it. Now her once distant relationship with Harsh turns hot and immediate as the two of them explore the dark passion of a forbidden relationship.

Strands of Love is now available!

STRANDS OF LOVE is available today from Ellora's Cave Publishing. This book is a stand alone read but is part of the Tapestries series.

BLURB:

Samantha Calloway is desperately working to keep her farm from financial ruin. It’s the only thing she has left from her deceased family and she’s determined to make it a success at any cost.

Darian and Jace Hunter live in a world where women are in short supply and brothers must share. The magic tapestry has always brought a potential tapestry bride to Javara, but this time it transports the two brothers to a strange land.

When Samantha finds two strangers on her land she doesn’t believe their stories of magic tapestries and other worlds. But when she suddenly finds herself in Javara, she doesn’t know what to believe. And when the tapestry transports them all back to her farm, Sam has a choice. She must decide if she will be true to her family and their legacy or if she will abandon it all for a chance at love.

THUNDERSTRUCK BY Kendall Grace

Tuesday Teaser--Christina's Tapestry

 STRANDS OF LOVE is releasing from Ellora's Cave on Friday so I thought this week the Tuesday Teaser should be from CHRISTINA'S TAPESTRY, the book that started the Tapestries series.

TEAESER:

The lust in his eyes disappeared in a blink and a cold, hard gleam appeared there instead. “Tapestry?”

 

Christina swallowed back her fear. After all, this was just a dream. “The one with the castle and the woods and the two warriors standing in front of it.” She motioned with her hands to show him the approximate size. “I bought it from a strange little shop a couple days ago.”

 

“The prophecy has begun.” His voice was low, his tone almost reverent as he bowed his head for a moment. When he raised his head again, his face was set in determined lines. “You are alone and must come to the castle for protection.”

 

Christina didn’t like his imperious tone and she liked his command even less. “I think I’ll stay here until I wake up if it’s all the same to you.”

 

The dumbfounded look on his face told her that no one said no to this man very often. He cocked his head to one side as he stared at her as if trying to figure out whether she was being difficult or if she was just plain crazy. At the moment, she’d opt for the second one. This whole dream was nuts.

 

Part of her wanted to go with him. If she were lucky, maybe this would turn into another long, erotic dream. A woman didn’t get a chance to have sex with a guy this hot very often, even if it was just a fantasy. But in the harsh light of day, he looked too big, too powerful and just too intimidating as he took another step towards her.

 

Panicking, she once again threw up her hands in front of her to stop him. “If you’re the warrior from the tapestry, where’s the other one?”

 

Strong arms enveloped her from behind and a pair of tan muscled forearms clamped around her stomach. She was pulled back against a rock-hard chest as a soft voice whispered in her right ear. “I’m right here.”

A Thank You to My Readers

Writing is a solitary pursuit, especially for someone like me who has never gone to a writer's conference. The only connection I have with readers and other authors is though our online communication. But sometimes that can be extremely powerful.

This past weekend, I blogged over at the Samhain Publishing blog and was humbled by the two ladies who left comments. When I have days of doubt about my work it's words like these that inspire me and remind me I'm lucky to be doing something so very special for a living.

Deb T said, "Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your books. Reading them has helped me make it through several painful days. I am getting ready to start reading the Hades’ Carnival series. So glad that the other two will be out this year. Thank you for your imagination and talent."

And Nancy G said, "I loved the first two Hades Carnival books (I have a teeny tiny crush on Marko) and can’t wait to fall in love with your next hero. They made my surgery so much easier to face, too. Thanks for your amazing stories."

Knowing that I was able to help one woman though a painful time in some small way and to make surgery easier for another was truly humbling. Thank you ladies for sharing with me.

And thank you to all of the wonderful readers who have emailed me over the years. You have no idea how much your kind words and support have meant to me.

New Print Book

I just found out that OUT OF SHADOWS will be released in print on May 21st! And if that wasn't exciting enough, it has a new cover too!

BLURB:

Companion to “Shadows Stir” from Dreams of the Oasis IV anthology and Beyond Shadows

Dovina Horne has arrived in Sleepy Hollow to study the legend of the horseman. She believes it’s only a myth until she’s threatened by a horse and rider while walking on a deserted trail in the woods. Only the sudden appearance of a warrior saves her from the horseman’s sword. She feels an instant connection, both sexual and emotional, to this protective stranger.

An immortal warrior of the Shadow Realm, Hadeon’s mission is to protect Dovina at all costs. He knows the horseman is not what he seems, but something more powerful and sinister in disguise. The longer Hadeon spends with Dovina, the more he wants her. He finds his way into her bed and her heart, but their relationship is doomed. He is an immortal from the shadows and she is a human filled with light. But when the final battle comes, they must use all that is between them if they hope to survive.

Thank you and an update

Thank you to all of you for your well wishes and good thoughts. Surgery went well, but I've had a few minor complications and am still resting my eye. Never thought I'd be tired of napping. *g*

Hope my eye will be back to normal by sometime this week. :)

Napping and Recovering

I had eye surgery on Tuesday to hopefully fix the corneal erosions in my left eye. They laser off some layers of the cornea where the problem is and it takes 5-7 days to heal. That means I've had no books, no computer, no television for several days now! Mostly I've been napping. Hopefully, I'll be back to normal soon...or as normal as I get. *g*

(Gotta love being able to schedule blogs in advance. As I write this, I haven't had my surgery yet. By the time it posts on Friday I'll be recovering.)

New Cover--STRANDS OF LOVE

Check out the amazing new cover for STRANDS OF LOVE, available from Ellora's Cave on May 10th!

BLURB:

Seventh in the Tapestries series.

Samantha Calloway is desperately working to keep her farm from financial ruin. It’s the only thing she has left from her deceased family and she’s determined to make it a success at any cost.

Darian and Jace Hunter live in a world where women are in short supply and brothers must share in a committed ménage. The magic tapestry has always brought a potential tapestry bride to Javara, but this time it transports the two brothers to a strange land.

When Samantha finds two strangers on her farm, she doesn’t buy their stories of magic tapestries and other worlds. When she suddenly finds herself in Javara, she doesn’t know what to believe. But she does know she has to make a choice—remain true to her family’s legacy, or abandon it all for a chance at love.

GYPSY WITCH by Suz deMello

 

DYLAN'S WITCH by Jory Strong (April 24th)

Tuesday Teaser: Lucian's Delight

The Tuesday Teaser this week comes from LUCIAN'S DELIGHT, the second book in the Dalakis Passion vampire series.

TEASER:


Strong arms wrapped around her as he pulled her tighter into his embrace. Heat radiated from his massive body and she snuggled close to him, needing his warmth and comfort. He said nothing, but his chest rumbled as he made low comforting sounds.

Safe.

He made her feel safe in a world gone mad. She owed him her life. She had called and he had come. Time had no meaning as she poured out her tears. When she was finally spent, she sniffed and scrubbed her hands over her face before finally raising it to look at her savior.

The moon came from behind the clouds, illuminating his face. Long black hair fell over his shoulders in a silky curtain, framing a face that was harsh, yet beautiful in its own way. His cheekbones were chiseled, his forehead high, and his lips thin. But it was his eyes that captured her. A brilliant emerald green, they were hard and cold as he looked out over the night, but the moment he sensed her gaze on him, they changed. Heat radiated from their depths as he raised his fingers to her face and carefully brushed away the remains of her tears.

Something about this man called to her on a very deep physical and emotional level. Delight knew that she was still shaken after her ordeal and that the last thing she should want was a man’s hands on her body. But her body wasn’t listening to her. It was totally illogical, but this stranger made her feel protected, cherished, and wanted.

Happy Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day, a day to reflect on what we all can do to help save our planet. What many governments and corporations don't seem to understand is that you can't eat or breathe money. If we don't save the resources we depend on for our survival nothing else will matter.

There are many small things we can all do:

1. Don't drive when you can walk or bike.
2. Turn off the lights when you're not in a room.
3. Keep your showers short.
4. Don't run the water when you're brushing your teeth.
5. Only run full loads in the washing machine.
6. Buy goods with less packaging.
7. Make sure you dispose of toxic materials properly.
8. Don't litter.

These are just a few small things that can make a big difference. To find out more about Earth Day you can check out the EARTH DAY NETWORK.

MY TYE by Kristin Daniels

Mark of the Bear now Available!

MARK OF THE BEAR is available today from Samhain Publishing! This is the second book in the Hades' Carnival series. Hold on because the carnival ride just got crazier!

BLURB:

At twenty-nine, Hollywood scream queen Kellsie Morris is acutely aware the clock is ticking on her career. Luckily, the one big role she needs to pad her retirement fund has just come through—the story of an immortal, shape-shifting warrior trapped in a carnival run by the Devil’s minions.

When Kellsie arrives on set, she can’t resist climbing aboard an amazingly realistic carousel bear—and finds herself flung into a world where the horror is real. As real as the heat radiating off the half-naked hunk in her arms.

Marko has waited an eternity for the chance to free his goddess, the Lady of the Beasts, and his fellow warriors from an ancient curse. But once he lays eyes on Kellsie, he knows to the bottom of his soul that his purpose is to protect her life.

But in this hellish game, it’s the Devil’s move. And there’s no predicting when and where the final, brutal stroke will fall—and which lover will pay the ultimate price.

4 Blue Ribbons for Mark of the Bear

Romance Junkies has given MARK OF THE BEAR an amazing 4 Blue Ribbon review!

"Wow!  MARK OF THE BEAR is just as good as its predecessor, NIGHT OF THE TIGER. I know that this is only book two in N.J. Walter’s Hades Carnival series. However, I am totally captivated by the thrillingly, chilling storyline carried across each installment. I was hooked from start to finish...Their sexual encounters are mega hot and wickedly intense. Whew!  MARK OF THE BEAR is one tale not to be missed!"

REBOUND by Sabrina York

Tuesday Teaser: By the Book

This week, the Tuesday Teaser comes from BY THE BOOK, which is part of the Jamesville series.

TEASER:

Unable to resist, he moved closer to her. As if she sensed him behind her, she jerked upright. “What are you doing?”

      “This.” Reaching out, he stroked his thumb over her cheek, brushing at the dirt there. “You have a smudge right here.”

“Oh.” A tinge of pink colored her face. He was fascinated by how easily she blushed. Her pupils dilated as he ran his thumb over the bridge of her nose. “I must have gotten that when I was down in the basement earlier.”

 “No problem.” Her skin was so soft beneath his calloused fingers. He wanted to run his hands over her entire body, learning her curves, searching out all her sensitive spots.

Thank You to my Readers and Fellow Authors

Technology and I have a love/hate relationship, and I have great respect, and not a little envy, for those people who find it so easy to navigate this brave new world.

Those of you who know me understand that technology does not come easy to me. Heck, I just learned how to program the DVR and we've had it for almost two years. I figure better late than never. These past eight years since I started my writing career, I've been on a steep learning curve. I've gone from not knowing what a Yahoo group was to being a part of them. I have my own website, blog, newsletter and Facebook page. Recently, I joined Twitter. Through it all, I've struggled some, shed a few tears, but mostly I've learned that I can do something if I keep trying. It's not easy for me, but I do it anyway, and I'm glad I do.

Therefore, I want to take the time to thank all of my writer friends and readers who help me along the way by retweeting or reposting my news, for adding their reviews to Goodreads (which I'm still haven't joined) and Amazon, for reading my newsletter and blog and checking out my website and sharing the news with their friends.

You have no idea how much this means to me. I love to write and will never stop. It's the "other" side of the writing business that gives me trouble sometimes. But I'm constantly learning and doing things I never imagined I could do. I even update my own website. Don't understand HTML code, but I've figured out how to cut and paste like a pro and make the changes I need to make. It's frustrating and fun, depending on the day.

So, once again, to all of you who have ever liked, shared, reposted, reviewed or even read one of my books...

THANK YOU!

 

You have no idea of the difference you've made in my life.

EMBRACING SILENCE.

SATURDAY SNIPPET:

She was almost through the first strap when she sensed the air behind her stirring. Silence continued to saw frantically at the restraint. He was here. He’d made no sound, and she’d been listening, but he was here. As always, she could sense his very presence, as though the air shifted and made way for him wherever he went.

“You’re resourceful.” His voice was deep and dark and raspy. His words made her shiver with dread. He didn’t sound particularly mad about her escape attempt. He didn’t sound anything at all. His total lack of emotion was more frightening than if he’d bellowed in anger.

Silence almost sobbed with relief when the leather strap gave way. She clawed at the second strap, getting it undone. Not pausing to even think about why he was allowing her to do so, she sawed at the strap around her waist. Blood from several shallow wounds on her wrist dripped down her fingers making it more difficult for her to work.

“How do you plan to get past me?” His question was thoughtful, almost as though he was curious about her intentions.

Finding Chrissten in PRINT

I'm thrilled to announce that FINDING CHRISSTEN is now available in PRINT from Samhain Publishing!

BLURB:

She escaped hell. Now love must capture her heart.

Legacy, Book 5

For eighteen horrific months, Chrissten Lawton was at the mercy of a crazy doctor and his pureblood werewolf flunky. She was subjected to experiments, beaten, mated against her will…and fading fast.

Just as she reaches the breaking point, the Haven pack comes to her rescue. Although any strange male makes her nervous, one of her rescuers stays by her side night and day, and something within her responds to this wolf’s gentleness.

From the moment Hank Brewer picked up Chrissten’s unique scent, he’s been driven to help her overcome her trauma-fed fears. He may be a half-breed, but he never does anything halfway. As he dedicates every waking moment to her healing, their fragile link leads them toward something they both hesitate to name.

But the danger isn’t past. Chrissten’s mate is still on the loose and he won’t rest until she—and the rest of Haven’s females—are taken for the cruel enjoyment of his rogue pack. Even though Hank would give his life to save her, the biggest challenge lies ahead. Admitting their love to each other.

Tuesday Teaser: The Return of Patrick O'Rourke

This week the Tuesday Teaser is from THE RETURN OF PATRICK O'ROURKE, book 3 in the Jamesville series.

TEASER:

“Shannon?”

The solemn expression on her face was replaced by a tentative smile. “I wasn’t sure you’d remember me.”

Her simple pleasure washed over him like a warm wave. What the hell was going on with him? He didn’t want to feel this way. He retreated immediately, shutting down all emotion. “Sure I remember,” he replied gruffly.

Her smile disappeared and her nervousness returned. “Here’s your menus. I’ll be back to take your orders in a minute.” She backed away, almost stumbling into the table behind her before turning and scurrying away to the kitchen.

“Man, you still have the touch with the women.” Shamus picked up the menus and handed one over to him. “Way to scare her away.”

“I didn’t scare her away.” He grabbed the menu from his brother. “I hardly said anything to her.”

“It wasn’t what you said, but how you said it. You’re one scary son-of-a-bitch when you want to be.” That said, Shamus opened his menu and perused his choices.

Easter Morning

HAPPY EASTER!

 

This is what it looks like here this morning. And, yes, that is snow outside. Looks more like the middle of winter than spring.

What did hubby and I do this morning?

We went to Starbucks and had one of their yummy hot chocolates.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all my friends. I hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends.

Weekend Bookclub--Wolf with Benefits

I have to say how much I love Shelly Laurenston's Pride Series. If you love shifter books and haven't read her series yet you're really missing out on something special. Shelly creates an amazing shifter world where shifter hockey leagues and derby teams exist all while trying to keep their presence known from humans. This series is unique. I always get a laugh when I'm reading one of her books, but they're certainly not lacking in intensity. They have it all!

I will admit, I am biased toward Shelly's bears. Love me the bears, but the other shifters are just as much fun.

WOLF WITH BENEFITS is the latest installment.

There’s nothing like a good-ol’-boy wolf.  And ace security expert Ricky Lee Reed serves, protects and seduces with all the right moves… 

Sure, Toni Jean-Louis Parker has to be the responsible oldest sister to a crazy-brilliant clan of jackal siblings. But now she’s cutting loose for some hot, sweaty, no-commitments fun—and the sexy, slow-talking, swift-moving predator assigned to keep her family safe is just the right thing to shapeshift her love life into overdrive. Trouble is, he’s starting to get all obsessive wolf on her every time he looks in her direction… 

Getting serious about anyone isn’t in Ricky Lee Reed’s plans. Hell, even now he doesn’t really have a plan—outside of catching whomever is threatening this dangerously brilliant family. But the more he sees of Toni, the more he’s howling for her. And whatever it takes to convince her that what they have is everything, well, this wily wolf is down for the sizzling chase…


The other books in the Pride series are: The Mane Event (which contains Christmas Pride and Shaw's Tail), The Beast in Him, The Mane Attraction, The Mane Squeeze, Beast Behaving Badly, Big Bad Beast, Bear Meets Girl and Howl for It.

What are you reading this week?

Tuesday Teaser: MacNamara's Lady

This week the Tuesday Teaser comes from MACNAMARA'S LADY, which is part of the Awakening Desires series but can be read as a stand alone book.

TEASER:

“Everything okay?” His deep, sexy rumble set her skin to tingling. Her stomach fluttered and it wasn’t with hunger. Well, maybe it was hunger, but not the kind that could be sated with a brownie, no matter how divine it was.

He moved his hand, rubbing it in a slow sweep up and down the long length of her spine, sliding it over the nap of her neck, which was exposed by her short hairstyle. Missy swallowed hard and bit her bottom lip to keep from moaning aloud. She nodded. “Fine. Everything is just fine.”

 
She was proud of the way she held herself together. Then he tightened his fingers around hers and pulled her closer.

Monday, snow and taxes, oh my!

The calendar might say spring, but the weather certainly doesn't.

That's the view from the window this morning, and the snow is still coming down heavy.

This is hubby cleaning off the car. We had to go out this morning because I had an appointment to get my taxes done. My bank account is much lighter, but I'm glad to have them done.

Figured it was too early to start drinking so we bought treats for lunch instead--a date square for me and an apple flip for hubby.

This afternoon I tackle the remaining government paperwork--they keep sending me surveys and forms--and tomorrow is back to writing.

Have a fabulous Monday!

Weekend Bookclub

Her Knight's Quest by Alexis Morgan is the Book of the Week. This is the second book in her Warriors of the Mist series. The first book is My Lady Mage.

I'm a fan of Morgan's "Darkness" series so I thought I'd give this one a try. The mythology in this series is fascinating and unique, and the characters are well developed and interesting. If you're looking for something a little different (kind of a historical/ fantasy/paranormal), I recommend this series.

BLURB:

They are cursed by the gods, and war is their salvation. Love is their deliverance.

For centuries, five legendary warriors have braved battles shoulder to shoulder. But now they must divide and conquer as lone champions against evil.

Duncan, a scholar at heart, is drawn to an isolated abbey rumored to hold the answers to countering the terror unleashed by Duke Keirthan. Inside the cloistered walls lies the hidden collection of forbidden lore on dark magic. But the real key to the salvation Duncan seeks—both for the people of Agathia and his soul—is the abbess herself, Lady Lavinia. Hunted by the duke, who seeks to harvest her powers, Lavinia knows Duncan wants to help her. But can she trust the tortured warrior with her secrets?

In the end, it is only by joining forces that they can save not only those they are sworn to protect but each other.

Spring Cleaning Contest--Fourth Winner

The fourth winner in the Spring Cleaning contest is Tammy Carney. Tammy has won a print copy of Woven Dreams. Congratulations, Tammy.
