MANDAY HOTTIES ~ The fellas from my latest obsession….. GoT
I know I’m more than a little late to the GoT party but jeez, I’m now slightly obsessed by it….(hell, who am I kidding, I’m totally gaga about the show)
Gods, the first few episodes nearly killed me there was so much going on – and the best bit is that it just keeps getting better and continually throws us off kilter….. You think you know what’s going on, HA, think again!!! Bloody hell, I LOVE IT!!!!
Some of the best things about it are the actors/characters and I’ve gone for 3 of my favourites today… Apologies lovelies, they are all pretty much clothed in these images… but they are still hotties!!!
SO hard to choose, Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo) is probably my top choice, closely followed by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) & Kit Harington (Jon Snow)…. or is it the other way round?!?!? Hells bells, that’s not an easy decision to make!!! 😉
What do you gals think?? 🙂
Don’t forget to check out the other blogs taking part in Felicity’s Manday Hotties Blog Hop today, as ever, there’ll be some fabulous eye-candy to kick start your week!!!!!

PENELOPE held a FB event on the 17th to celebrate the 1st Anniversary of the release of BULLY
She very kindly gave us a scene from RIVAL …..
Rival Scene from Madoc’s POV….
“So you’re really back.” I pushed off the door frame and sauntered toward the end of the bed.
“You’re not supposed to be here. Addie said you were staying with friends.”
What the hell?
They were right after all. She was afraid of me. But why? What the hell had I ever done to her?
I squeezed the green bottle in my hand and tried to make her out in the darkness. She wore a dark blue T-shirt with some white swirly writing I couldn’t read, and her hair was all over the place. She used to have piercings, but I couldn’t see anything right now.
“This is my father’s house.” I spoke low and straightened my back. “And someday all this shit will be mine, Fallon. That bed you sleep in, along with everything else under this roof.”
“Not me, Madoc. You don’t own me.”
“Yeah.” I brushed her off. “Been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt. Thanks.”
“Get out,” she ordered, her tone hard.
I took another sip of my beer. “The thing is, Fallon . . . I told you before to lock the door if you wanted me to stay out. Funny thing is . . .” I leaned in. “You. Never. Did.”
In one swift movement she whipped off her covers and stood up on the bed. Charging to the end, she slapped me across the face before I even knew what was happening.
I almost laughed. Hell, yeah.
My body stayed in place, but my head had twisted to the side with the blow, and I closed my eyes out of reflex. The sting started as a few little needles under the surface but exploded and spread like electricity. I kept my eyes shut for a few seconds longer than necessary, savoring the rush.
With the bed elevating her, she stood about six inches higher than me, and I turned my head back to her slowly, welcoming whatever she had.
She scowled down at me. “I was sixteen years old and too stupid to keep you off me,” she spat. “Little did I know that they have toothbrushes bigger than you. And I’ve definitely had better than you in the past two years, so count on the door being locked from now on.”
Sometimes I wore smiles but didn’t feel them. Sometimes I felt them and didn’t wear them. I didn’t want her to know how much I craved this. I bit my bottom lip.
She spun around, heading back up the bed, and I reached out and pulled her ankle out from underneath her. She crashed down onto the mattress, landing on her belly, and I quickly came down onto her back, whispering in her ear.
“Do you think I’d even touch you now? You know what I used to call you? Pussy-on-the-Premises. You were convenient when I needed to blow a load, Fallon.”
She whipped her head around to look at me but couldn’t twist far enough with my weight on her back.
“And don’t think I ever thought it was more than that, either, Madoc. I was bored, and it was cute to see you brag about your skill. I’ve never laughed so hard.” I could hear the smile in her voice. “But I know better now,” she finished.
“Yeah?” I asked. “Spreading yourself around like your mother? You were right, Fallon. You sure are going places.” I pushed off the bed and watched her flip over and sit up. It was then I noticed what she was wearing. A T-shirt and bikini underwear.
Shit. I blinked long and hard.
My dick jolted against my basketball shorts, and I clenched a fist, forcing control. “But,” I continued, “don’t overestimate yourself, baby. You can’t get me kicked out of my own house. I live here. Not you.”
Her chest rose and fell hard, and the anger in her eyes brought back everything I lived for two years ago. Her facial piercings were gone, and I wished she still had them, but her hair was beautiful chaos. The way it always looked at night. She still wore her sexy glasses, and I couldn’t help think about those strong legs.
I’d been there.
And her temper? Yeah, the Irish in her was no lie.
“Madoc?”
I sucked in a breath and turned around to see Hannah standing in the doorway in her bikini.
“The Jacuzzi’s ready,” she said, hands on her hips.
I looked at Fallon, still sitting on the bed and her eyes going round at seeing my date.
I smiled.
“Stay,” I told her in a relaxed voice. “Eat the food. Use the pool. And then get a fucking life of your own when you leave.”
Rival is DUAL POV and will be releases Aug. 26, 2014. Jared, Tate, and Jax are very present.

BLOG TOUR ~ EVERYTHING by N.B Baker
Synopsis
A shocking tale of romance and deception, N.B.
Baker’s Everything is an impressive debut that proves no secret is ever really
buried. Ella Stone is struggling to pick up the pieces of her life.
Abandoned by her parents when she was an infant, both of the grandparents who raised
her are now gone. Facing her future for the first time, Ella decides to move to
Detroit in order to be near her two best friends. After a misguided
relationship with a man she finds in bed with another woman, Ella begins
doubting her life-changing move. That is, until she meets Chance St. John.
When Chance fends off a brutal attack, he and Ella share an instant connection. As
the two get to know each other, their passionate exploits both in and out of
the bedroom make way for a deeper connection for which neither one was quite
prepared. But despite their increasing closeness, Ella can’t shake the feeling
that Chance is hiding something from her. His frequent nightmares and skittish
responses point to a secret in his past that haunts him still. While Ella
attempts to uncover Chance’s mysterious past, her own life takes a turn for the
strange. As Everything builds to its explosive climax, Ella must discover the
truth before Chance’s dark past consumes them both.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ ~ FIGHTING FATE (Redwood Pack #7) by Carrie Ann Ryan
Fighting Fate
A Redwood Pack Novel, Book 7
Release Date: June 10, 2014
GUEST POST ~ Carrie Ann Ryan
I write strong heroines. I don’t know how to write another type. The fact that the word heroine means strong in a sense, I don’t even need to use the phrase ‘strong heroine’ to begin with. I love the fact that my female characters stand up for themselves even if it hurts. They fight against those would hurt those they love and fight for what is theirs.
Cailin is the youngest Jamenson in her generation and the only daughter of the Alpha of the Redwood Pack. She’s one of my strongest characters. Ever.
She’s forced to sacrifice something she never thought she’d be forced to and her mate, Logan, fights alongside her.
I love the fact that no matter what the world throws at her, she keeps on coming. She’ll cry if she feels like it, scream and throw things if it matters, or pull into herself and remain stoic if that’s what needed. She won’t back down to a very dominant and Alpha mate just because Logan is what others think is good for her—even if she knows they’re perfect for one another.
I write strong heroines because I love them. What about you? What’s your favorite characteristic of a heroine?
**************
BLURB:
With her blue-black hair and striking green eyes, Cailin Jamenson is the epitome of beauty and the exemplar of strength.
She has fought the enforced boundaries of being the lone Jamenson daughter and Redwood Pack princess, but it is the potential future with the dark wolf in her path that threatens everything she thought she desired.
Logan Anderson’s own darkness provided the reasoning for his abandonment of his former Pack, the Talons.
Now, newly accepted into the Redwood Pack, this jade-eyed wolf and all she represents could be his own undoing.
In this final installment of the Redwood Pack, unimaginable tragedy strikes, and the two wolves who have fought the longest for their independence now face the uncertainty of fate and the epic battle that could end the war… and their lives.

EXCERPT:
She knew what the others saw when they looked at her, the raven-black hair, the light green eyes. So many others had told her she was one of the most beautiful people they’d ever seen. What a load of crap. Even if they weren’t just saying that because of who she was, she wouldn’t take it at face value. She’d seen true beauty in the selfless acts of her sisters and friends. They were the beautiful ones. Cailin usually responded to those who spoke only of her looks that they hadn’t seen that many people. Most didn’t see beyond the surface, beyond the blood in her veins.
Someone murmured something behind her, and she blinked, forcing her attention to what was going on in front of her rather than wallowing in the shames she should have buried. Shames that weren’t really shames at all, not in the grand scheme of things. She’d always tried to be so strong for others, and in turn, hadn’t treated those she now loved with the respect they deserved. She’d tried to fix that over time, but she wasn’t sure she was worth it. Others worried so much for her and her safety, she knew they weren’t taking care of themselves like they should. She needed to stop acting so self-centered, so hurt and broken when it was her own doing.
AUTHOR BIO:
USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.
Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.

BLP ~ MY REVIEW:
I went into Fighting Fate with mixed emotions. On one hand I couldn’t wait to start and was so looking forward to at last reading Cailin and Logan’s story but this was overshadowed by the fact that this is the final instalment in the Redwood Pack series and I didn’t want the story to end…..
Carrie didn’t disappoint and she finished the series with a bang…. Fighting Fate is a fantastic read and an excellent way to say goodbye to this generation of Jamensons.
Cailin & Logan have been dancing round each other, doing everything they could to avoid facing the obvious attraction between them… Will they finally deal with their feelings and the connection that they seem to have?!
The war that has been raging around the Redwoods is nearing it’s climax and everyone knows it – they just don’t know what to expect or how things are gonna turn out!!!
So much to deal with and so little time to prepare….
One of the main things I loved about the book was the continued focus on the Jamensons as a family as well as pack… We are reminded again of how important they are to each other and how they would do all and anything they had to for each other!!!
Action, drama, tension, surprises, heat & passion, pain & heartbreak, it’s all packed into this final book and makes for a heart-racing (jeez, at times a nigh on heart-stopping!!) ride!
Grab yourself a copy of Fighting Fate, take yourself off somewhere quiet – ‘cos you won’t want to be disturbed once you start reading – and lose yourself in the final instalment of the Redwood Pack’s story!!
** A word of warning before you do start reading ~ you’re gonna need tissues… lots & lots of tissues – and maybe take the next day off work to avoid people seeing your big red puffy eyes…or you could wear some dark glasses – just sayin’!! 😉
**I received an advanced copy of Fighting Fate from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review**
