Conquer the Highland Beast: The Vampire Dylan Macgregor
by Eliza March

20522526
BLURB

“Highland warrior, Dylan Macgregor learns revenge and retribution will not give him the peace he seeks. Every day since, he battles the darkness. Three-hundred years after being turned on a battlefield by an ancient born vampire, Dylan meets his life-mate, FBI profiler Special Agent Caitlin Donovan. When he discovers she’s been targeted for death by a demon overlord, can he find the assassins before they find her? The last of his light is at risk if he kills again, and then what will become of their love?

About the Author:

2945689I’ve been writing seriously for about nine years. My first book, a novella,, was published in April of 2009 and since then, I’ve had several more published. To my great pleasure, many readers have responded positively to these books. I write in a variety of genres so I’m sure there’s one that will please you. Can you just imagine how pleased I am to know I’m making readers happy with the yarns I spin in my head . . .

The first writers’ group I joined was a local mixed group (all genres – all ages). They took turns reading aloud and critiquing each others’ work once a week. Although I know how to spell the words
I write, I find it difficult to voice them. Therefore I saw no future with that group, since I found it impossible to admit what I wrote, let alone, shock the life out of a group of white haired memoir writers. So I moved on – took online classes, college classes, and in 2006 I attended my first RWA National Conference and never looked back. I’m a member of RWA, my local chapter – TARA, several online groups. My secret passion is poetry, and my secret identity isn’t as secret as I’d like to believe.

You can usually find me at one of several of my favorite places . . . most often my blog, Eliza Writes sizzling hot romance http://elizamarch.blogspot.com  – FACEBOOK  – TWITTER  – GOODREADS –  I also guest blog with fellow authors.

Something else you should know about me is I love hearing from my readers.

BLP ~ My Review
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have to be honest and say usually I’m not a huge fan of historical style reads…. but I loved the telling of Dylan’s story in
Conquer The Highland Beast
. I really wasn’t expecting it to be as emotional and enthralling as it was!!

Eliza pulls you into the story fairly slowly – it starts out in the current day – After an evening of demon hunting, Dylan and Max head to a bar and the big Scotsman begins telling Max a little about his history (he’s trying to help Max understand what he himself is going through after all that happened to him in Defeat the Darkness)and all of a sudden you find you are totally immersed in Dylan’s tale…

The heroine, Caitlyn, is a great match for Dylan – they both feel a pull but will they surrender to it or, given both their histories, fight the obvious connection they have?!?!
This book has it all. Demons, vampires, shifters & witches; action, adventure and heart-break; violence & vengence, passion, heat & of course smokin’ hot sexy times…..

This is a great series and one I have no hesitation in recommending. I’m so looking forward to book #3 – Damn the Darkness!

NEW RELEASE ~ MY SKYLAR by Penelope Ward

MY SKYLAR by Penelope Ward

is LIVE

my skylar

**Special Limited-Time Release Price $2.99** (Reg. $3.99)
~ This book is recommended for readers over the age of 18 due to strong language and explicit sexual content ~

From the author of the #1 bestselling romance, Jake Undone, comes a friends-to-lovers story of longing, passion, betrayal and redemption…with a twist that will rip your heart out.

Skylar was my best friend, but I secretly pined for her. One thing after another kept us apart, and I’ve spent the last decade in fear of losing her forever.

First, it was the cancer, but she survived only to face the unthinkable at my hands. Because of me, she left town. For years, I thought I’d never see her again.

But now she’s back…and living with him.

I don’t deserve her after everything I’ve put her through, but I can’t live without her. This is my last chance because she’s about to make the biggest mistake of her life. I can see it her eyes: she doesn’t love him. She still loves me…which is why I have to stop her before it’s too late.”

My Skylar is a STANDALONE story of 99,000 words and a companion to the novel, Jake Undone. It does NOT need to be read in conjunction with any other book.

Author of Erotic Romance, Lacey Silks writes her stories from life experiences, dreams and fantasies. She likes a pinkish shade on a woman’s cheeks, men with large feet and sexy lingerie, especially when it’s torn off the body. Her favorite piece of clothing is a birthday suit.
When she’s not thinking about writing steamy stories, which is a rare occasion, Lacey enjoys camping and skiing with her family (not at the same time of course). She’s a happily married wife blessed with two kids who adore going to the library. She’s an early bird by nature, but loves the nightly adventures with her hubby which provide good content for her books.

Born in Manhattan, Olivia Rigal spent her youth going back and forth between the United States and France.
 She lived and studied law in both countries.
 While studying she kept herself busy with a variety of jobs.
 She worked in the Clignancourt Flea Market as well as in a Parisian recording studio.
 In Manhattan, she was a dog groomer and then an administrative assistant in a famous English auction house. 
Olivia settled in France to raise her family. She travelled throughout South East Asia and has a special fondness for Laos and Thailand. 
When her law practice does not keep her busy in Paris, she runs away to write novels in her Florida home next to MacArthur Beach State Park.In December 2012 she started publishing short novels in English as an independent. Early 2014, she began translating them into French. The story she tells stand alone. However her characters often meet so you can run into them again in several stories.

Molly McLain lives in northern Wisconsin with her husband, her three children, and a rambunctious German Shorthaired Pointer, named Tucker. She’s been penning fictitious love stories since middle school and, at her 8th grade graduation, her class predicted she’d be a published author by their 20-year reunion. Well, she’s achieved that goal with plenty of time to spare. Now the question is…how many books will she be able to show off when that big day comes?

Sky Corgan lives in a little podunk town near San Antonio, Texas. When she’s not typing away at the next steamy romance novel, she’s busy planning for future vacations.

Daizie Draper is a happily married sex fiend, who loves to write naughty stories that mix the sweetness of chocolate with the bite of leather. She likes sensuality, kink, fruit, impressionistic art, spanking and beauty. She hates big bugs, freedom crushers, injustice, artificial orange and onions. Along with 27 other people in the world, she has never read Fifty Shades of Grey.
 
Originally a horror author, sex scenes and love stories kept magically creeping into her work, so she decided to make the switch to romance. Now she enjoys writing stories that make your heart flutter and your inner yearnings awaken.
