GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: The Ford Book Cover Reveal by JA Huss

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: The Ford Book Cover Reveal by JA Huss

EXCERPT – CHAPTER ONE Click. Click. Click. That’s my shoes on the stone steps in the Chaput Building. I listen for a call. Or maybe even an echo, telling me that another pair of shoes are behind me. But I get nothing. Not even sounds from the New Year’s Eve party up on the fourth floor leak out. Just nothing. My steps are quick when I begin, but now that I’m nearing the door to the basement they are slow. I finish my escape more confused than I’ve ever been in my life. I told her. I want her. But she belongs to Ronin. You will not look back, you will not look back. That’s what I tell myself the entire way down. But of course, when I’m a few paces from the garage door, I do look up. All the way up to the fourth floor where that dark… Read more »

GIVEAWAY and REVIEW: Dangerously Hers by A. M. Griffin

GIVEAWAY and REVIEW: Dangerously Hers by A. M. Griffin

I sorta loved this book. I do not read a lot of erotica, and I’ve only ever read two SF erotic romances, but I like them!  I love SF anyway, and when you mix it up with erotica, damn. That is just ORIGINAL! I have not read the other books in this series, so some of the nuances of the history of the characters was lost on me, but overall, I got the gist of things and it was not confusing.  Jess is a girl with a past—a pretty bad one in fact.  She’s good now, but she has a major aversion to aliens.  She was on earth when the invasion took place and she was captured an sold into sexual slavery. This is all back story, so it dictates her frame of mind as she accepts a position on Sonis as a personal assistant to Rasha, a captain in… Read more »

$50 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Drawn by Cecilia Gray

$50 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Drawn by Cecilia Gray

Sasha loves to draw and she expresses a lot of her feelings about her life through comics. Each chapter begins with a comic book page – Sasha’s interpretation of her birth to childhood to life with the FBI. EXCERPT FBI Field Office, Atlanta, Georgia I’ve studied Chelsea since the FBI teamed us up when I was twelve. She has a move…classic Chelsea. She turns the doorknob and her body stiffens, a metal rod shoved down her spine. As she sets a high heel inside the interrogation room, her southern accent and soft manners are buried beneath a terrifyingly sleek, blond exterior in a perfectly pressed pinstriped suit. Four years of practice, two custom-cut suits of my own, and I still look epileptic when I try to project that sense of total control. Of I’ve got this. Even though I don’t have her drawl and my posture’s not bad. I follow… Read more »

REVIEW: The Thief Redeemer by Leigh Clary Abdou

REVIEW: The Thief Redeemer by Leigh Clary Abdou

REVIEW The Thief Redeemer is an apt title for this book because that’s exactly what this story is about. It’s quite literally about a career criminal, a car thief named Brandon, who progresses from a man with no regrets or aversion to his criminal way of life, into a man who falls in love and is willing to put his life on the line in order to prove he is worthy of a special woman. I love this premise. I love dark books and this one starts out dark. Brandon has a years old vendetta with a local lawyer and this is his initial motivation for going through with a harebrained plot to kidnap two innocent girls. He needs to take the heat off himself, so what better what to do that than to kidnap the lawyer’s daughter. He first meets the heroine, Claire Peters, when he poses as an… Read more »

REVIEW: Text by Cambria Hebert

REVIEW: Text by Cambria Hebert

    I was so excited to see Text by Cambria Hebert. I loved Torch, so I was sure this one was going to be good. I mean, it’s about an author, and a marine. I used to be a military wife, and I’m an author, so both of these things were intriguing to me. So of course, I went in with high hopes. I was wrong in the very best kind of way. It wasn’t just ‘good.’ It was out of this world funny, sizzling hot, amazing, captivating and impossible to put down. You would think that a book about a firefighter (Torch) would be hotter than a book about an author and a marine, but you’d be wrong. I especially loved the way we really got to see Honour’s thought process. She’s such a fun, spunky narrator. This book is one you’ve just got to read. The beginning… Read more »

EXCERPT: Reign of Ice by L.P. Dover

EXCERPT: Reign of Ice by L.P. Dover

EXCERPT Taking a deep breath, Brayden took my hand and opened his closed fist. In his palm lay a shiny silver and onyx band with a symbol engraved on it. I couldn’t tell what the symbol was until he slid the band slowly down on my finger. However, it wasn’t just a symbol, it was the crest of the Winter Court … our Court of Ice. “How?” I whispered. Did he really remember the symbol in our vision? “Yes, I did,” he replied, giving me the answer to my silent question. “I can still see our vision clearly, right down to the way we made love by the fire. I remembered our crest on the wall in the room we were in, and it’s been engraved in my mind ever since. I had Lukas make the ring for you.” “Lukas made this?” I cried, gazing down at the ring. “It’s… Read more »
