RELEASE DAY BLOG BARRAGE ~ DEGRADATION by STYLO FANTOME

BLURB:

Eighteen year old Tatum O’Shea is a naive, shy, little rich girl. Twenty-three year old Jameson Kane is smart, seductive, and richer. They come together for one night, one explosion, one mistake, and Tate is hurled into space – no family, no money, and no Jameson.

Seven years later, life is going pretty good for Tate, when she runs into Jameson again. This time, she thinks she’s ready for him. She doesn’t have a naive bone left in her body, and she can’t even remember what shy feels like. Jameson has evolved into Satan – sharp teeth, sharper claws, and a tongue that can cut her in half. It all sounds like fun to a girl like Tate, and she is ready to play, determined to prove that she isn’t the same girl he conquered once before. A series of games start, each one more devious than the last.

But the devil likes to play dirty, and she learns that playing for souls is playing for keeps. The lines between games and reality, heaven and hell, get blurry. Can she beat Jameson at his own game before someone gets hurt? Or will he leave her soulless, making him the winner, once and for all?

WARNING: contains a wannabe B-rate porn star, an impersonal personal assistant, and the F-word, A LOT.
Also graphic sexual situations and sadomasochistic themes. 96,000 words.

AUTHOR BIO:

Indie author, writing anything that pops into my head … which happens to usually be kinda crazy and a lot dirty. Working out of an undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity), I have been writing since …, forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball – I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I’m clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.

I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there’s your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair – both a curse and a blessing – and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can’t understand me.

Yeah. I think that about sums me up

BLOG TOUR ~ Guest Post – LOVING THE OMEGA (Redwood Pack #7.5) by Carrie Ann Ryan

Jul 17

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

BLOG TOUR ~ LOVING THE OMEGA
A Redwood Pack Novel, Book 7.5

Release Date: July 15, 2014

Today you join us on the Blog Tour for the release of LOVING THE OMEGA by Carrie Ann Ryan.
We are delighted that Carie Ann has taken the time to tell us a little about her favourite hero or heroine!!! 😉

GUEST POST ~ CARRIE ANN RYAN

Are authors supposed to pick favorites? I don’t think so, but who knows, right? I always say my favorite hero or heroine is the one I’m currently writing, and honestly, that’s true. However, I also have another favorite that I can’t let go. Maddox dug his claws into me when I was first plotting The Redwood Pack all those years ago and I haven’t been able to stop loving him.
He’s the tortured hero, the scarred one, the twin that sees too much. His mate was the one he could never have, could never truly see.
See? He’s swoon worthy.

Maddox is the Omega of the Pack, meaning he feels every emotion of the Redwood Pack. Anything too happy, too sad, too angry, and it becomes almost unbearable. He and Ellie had their HEA in the novel, Shattered Emotions, and it’s one of my favorite books to date because I got to dive deep into their pasts.
Now I got to see them again in the novella, Loving the Omega. I wanted to catch up with the couple and see how they were doing after the war ended and how their HEA was looking up. I’m so glad I got the chance because they surprised me. Again. 😀

BLURB:
Maddox Jamenson almost lost his mate before he knew she existed, but his life is now exactly how he’d dreamed it. The war with the Centrals is over, and his family is healing one day at a time. Ellie is reveling in the simple perfection that is her life and family now, but that doesn’t mean she can shed the self-doubts and concerns that come with being a new mother, mate, and Redwood.

When a disturbance in their quiet life threatens to ruin everything they’ve fought for, Maddox and Ellie will have to learn not only to rely on each other more than ever, but find within themselves the power to forgive.

Author’s Note: This is a novella set after book 7 to give you a taste of Maddox and Ellie. It is best that you have already immersed yourselves in the Redwood Pack world, however even new readers will enjoy a glimpse of one of the Redwood’s favorite couples.

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.

EXCERPT:
As the Omega, he had that bond with each and every packmember—except his twin. He could feel the highs and lows that came with living, and it was his job to keep the emotional health of the Redwood Pack in alignment.
Without the mating bond, however, he hadn’t been able to feel Ellie. That alone had made him feel adrift in an endless stream of pain and loss.
Now, though, he had everything.
Or at least he tried to believe he did.
“No, I don’t need to talk about it again,” Maddox finally answered. Ellie let out a breath then leaned into him, brushing her teeth at the same time as he did.
They’d discussed his dreams and what they meant over and over in the past month since the Redwoods had defeated Caym and the Centrals, but they couldn’t find a way to make them stop.
There was no Omega for the Omega.
Not even the mate who loved him with everything she had could be his Omega.
“Mom? Dad?”
Maddox grinned despite the sour way they’d woken up and pulled Ellie into the bedroom at the sound of their daughter’s voice.
“We’re in here, Charlotte,” he called out, grateful he and Ellie had worn clothes to bed that evening.
Charlotte huffed and rolled her pretty brown eyes—so much like Ellie’s— as she walked into the bedroom. Seven years old and the little girl already had the attitude of a pre-teen.
Not that Maddox cared a bit.

Jul 17

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

It’s release day for MARIE HARTE…… Book 3 in The Works series, ‘Wetwork’ is live!!!!!

THE BLURB:

“He might command her body, but she owns his heart.

Trevor Doran is trying to fit into civilian life now that he’s no longer working secret missions for the government. But his job as a financial investigator for a security firm doesn’t give him the thrill he needs. With his last love dead from a mission gone wrong, he doesn’t need that kind of life anymore. Does he?

His attention soon turns to the beautiful, shy Emma Clark—a friend of his sister’s who intrigues him. He’s getting a vibe from her that makes him want to know more. Is she as submissive as she seems? When Emma starts receiving unwanted attention from a secret admirer, he steps in to help. Then the case he’s investigating at work gets messy. Danger’s afoot, and it’ll take all his skill to keep Emma safe. And all her patience to get Trevor to open himself up to putting his heart at risk and loving again.”

MY REVIEW ~ Tracy

I love The Works series from Marie Harte and was delighted when I heard that the 3rd book was gonna focus on Trevor Doran.

We were introduced to the main man briefly through his sister Maggie’s story in book #2, ‘Working Out’ and in book #1, ‘Bodywork’ which featured Shelby & Shane!

The third book gave us the heat, passion and sexiness that we have come to expect from Marie when it comes to this series but this time there was also action, suspense and a healthy dose of kink!!!!

I really liked Trevor, he had a dominant personality but wasn’t a macho-man fool…. Emma was a little bit of a softie at times when it came to certain people but Trevor seemed to bring out another side of her!

We caught up with Shelby, Shane, Maggie & Mac…. and let’s not forget Mimi & Ron – as if we could overlook that zany pair!!!!

‘WETWORK’ was a quick, hot, fun read, my only grumble is that it was over too quick for me….. I could quite happily sit and read about this group of friends for ages!!!

A definite series to check out. If you like a sexy story with heat, loads of attraction, likeable characters and a story that keeps you entertained, ‘THE WORKS’ books should be on your TBR list!!!!!!

UNBELOVED BY MADELINE SHEEHAN

Jul 13

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Warning: This is not a conventional or predictable love story. It involves one woman and two men bound by a love so destructive it spans two decades, pitting brother against brother, and shattering the lives of those touched by it.

Dorothy Kelley is a born romantic, searching for her prince. Instead she finds herself pregnant at fifteen, and a in a loveless marriage by the tender age of eighteen.

Then hope comes riding into her life on a motorcycle and within weeks, Jason “Jase” Brady, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen motorcycle club, sweeps Dorothy off her feet.

But nothing is ever simple for Dorothy. Jase is married with children. And as Dorothy patiently waits for Jase to give her the happily-ever-after she’s been dreaming about, James “Hawk” Young, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen with secrets of his own, sees an opening into Dorothy’s life and takes it.

Carrying on two secret affairs is no easy feat. As Dorothy tries to dig herself out of the mess she’s created, covering one mistake with another, tragedy strikes, nearly costing Dorothy her life and that of her unborn son.

What follows is a long and painful journey of self-discovery and forgiveness, as Dorothy comes to realize that home was exactly where she’d left it, and the love she’d forever craved had always been within her reach.

This is the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk.

We are all born pure; it is our journey that burdens us and leads us astray. Our mistakes that beat us down and cover us in guilt and shame, burying us a little more with each passing hardship. It is up to us to dig ourselves out, to come to terms with our faults, to embrace not only our imperfections but those of the ones we love, and to once again find the path we strayed from.

MY REVIEW ~ REBECCA

UNBELOVED BY MADELINE SHEEHAN

HOW DO YOU BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE UNDENIABLE SERIES?

WHAT WORDS CAN EVEN START TO GIVE ANY COMPREHENSION OF THE WORLD AND CHARACTERS MS SHEEHAN HAS CREATED…………

EPIC?

RICH?

RAW?

GRITTY?

ALIVE?

THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON, ALL WOULD BE CORRECT YET NONE, ‘TIL YOU READ AND EXPERIENCE THEM FOR YOURSELF, CAN EVER LET YOU KNOW JUST WHAT A SHATTERINGLY VISCERAL PUNCH THESE BOOKS DELIVER.

THIS IS A FAMILY STORY, A HUGE SWEEPING EPIC SPANNING GENERATIONS WITH SO MUCH DEPTH TO HER CHARACTERS AND THE WORLD THEY INHABIT THAT IT`S HARD NOT TO BE INVESTED, IT`S HARD NOT TO TREAT THEM AS REAL. SOME YOU LOVE, SOME YOU DETEST, OTHERS JUST ANNOY THE FUCK OUT OF YOU AND SOME YOU WANT TO SAVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART BUT YOU BECOME SO EMOTIONALLY INVESTED YOU FEEL AND CARE FOR EVERY ONE, THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY, THE CRAZY AND THE BROKEN.

EACH BOOK IS SO EAGERLY ANTICIPATED BECAUSE MADELINE SHEEHAN IS A MASTER OF WORDS, HER PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS, BOTH THE FUNCTIONAL AND DYSFUNCTIONAL, MAKE EACH ONE A RIDE YOU DON`T WANT TO END.

UNBELOVED IS THE 4TH INSTALMENT OF THIS SAGA ~ HAWK , JASE AND DOROTHY’S STORY

IT’S DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS BOOKS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT, BUT THEN LIFE IS LIKE THAT, IT’S AS MUCH ABOUT THE SWEET, THE FUNNY, THE PAINFUL AND THE HARD AS IT IS THE CRAZY, THE STEAMY AND THE MADNESS. LIFE’S A FUCKED UP MISH MASH OF MOMENTS THAT MAKE UP THE WHOLE, THE PACE CHANGES AT TIMES AS DOES THE PERSPECTIVE.

THE LOVE TRIANGLE. IT’S COMPLICATIONS, DECISIONS AND CONCLUSION ARE THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE STORY BUT OH, IT WAS SO MUCH MORE.

LESS THAN HALFWAY THRU;

COX HAD MADE ME GAG

RIPPER AND COX WERE COMIC RELIEF

PREACHER AND DEUCE MADE ME SMILE

AND KAMI IS, AS USUAL, HER OWN BRAND OF CRAZY.

ONE CHARACTER STOPPED MY HEART AND ONE BROKE IT ALL BEFORE I EVEN GOT PAST 47%

RARELY, EVEN IN A LIFETIME OF READING, AM I TEMPTED TO SNEAK PEEK AT THE END OF THE BOOK BUT OH HOW I WANTED TO WITH UNBELOVED. DESPERATELY!!!! HOWEVER, I CONTINUED TO RIDE THIS ROLLERCOASTER RIGHT TO THE END, WHERE I FINISHED,

AN EMOTIONAL WRECK

LYING ON THE FLOOR

GAZING AT THE STARS

THINKING WTF EPILOGUE DID I JUST READ?

UNBELOVED IS MORE THAN JUST THE STORY OF A WOMAN’S JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE WITH ALL THE CHOICES TWISTS, TURNS AND MISTAKES THAT WE MAKE AND NAVIGATE THAT HOPEFULLY PUT US WHERE WE WERE MEANT TO BE. IT’S A CONTINUATION OF A STORY THAT GETS BETTER AND BETTER WITH EACH BOOK, A STORY OF LIFE LOVE AND FAMILY ……………..

SO MS SHEEHAN DELIVERED,

HUGE.

BLOG TOUR ~ TAKE (#2 Temptation Series) by ELLA FRANK

Jul 10

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

TAKE – verb: to reach for and hold in one’s hands or get into one’s possession, power or control.

Logan Mitchell is a man who’s always been more than happy to take what he wants. It’s a philosophy that’s proven lucrative in both his business and personal life, and never was it more apparent than the night he laid eyes on Tate Morrison. After pulling out all the stops and convincing the sexy bartender to give him a try—he’s hooked.

Now, Logan finds himself in a predicament that demands more from him than a smart-ass answer and his innate ability to walk away when things get too deep.

He has a choice to make, and it’ll force him to do something he’s never done before—take a chance.

Tate Morrison knows all about taking a chance. He took the biggest one of his life the night he showed up at Logan’s apartment to explore his unexpected reaction to the man.

Ever since then, he’s thought about little else.

At first he was convinced his attraction was based solely on his body’s curiosity. But the more time he spends with the silver-tongued lawyer, the more Tate realizes that their physical chemistry is only the beginning.

He’s starting to catch a glimpse of what life with Logan would be like, and it’s one full of excitement and satisfaction—a far cry from what he had in the past with his soon to be ex-wife.

Each man will face their fears as they begin to understand the true meaning of give and take. Their feelings for one another will be tested, as will their very beliefs. But now that they’ve found love where they least expected it, will they be brave enough to reach out and take it?

“That’s your truck?”

“Yes.”

“It’s so…”

“So what?” Logan challenged as he pulled his keys from his pocket.

“Old?”

“Excuse me. I’ll have you know I was driving this baby all through college and she still runs like a dream.”

Tate watched as Logan walked over to run his hand over the scratched-up tailgate, and he was amazed that he even made that look sexy. Like he was stroking a lover.

“And it’s a she, huh?”

Now around at the passenger’s side, Logan opened the door and looked at him over the bed of the truck. “Yeah. Jealous?”

Laughing, Tate walked over to where Logan stood with a hand on the door and kissed him slowly on the mouth.

“I’m jealous of anything you stroke like that.”

“Get in the truck, Tate.”

“Or else?”

Logan stepped forward, crowding him back against the inside frame of the vehicle.
“You’re not ready for the or else…”

Tracy’s Review:

I’ve been patiently waiting for TAKE since I finished TRY but let me tell you, it was SO worth the wait. Ella Frank did it again when it comes to this smokin’ hot couple and gave us a fantastic continuation of Logan & Tate’s story!!!

Starting right where book 1 left off, TAKE focused on the boys and their developing feeling & attraction but where TRY gave us a lot about the thrill and excitement of a new, hot and passionate affair, TAKE took us to another level where it was less about the chase and more about the guys emotional growth and deepening desires and how they deal with their burgeoning ‘relationship’.

TAKE shows us a different side to both Tate and Logan and we follow them as they try to work out just what’s going on between them…..

Tate had some tough family issues to deal with at the end of TRY and we see how he faces these, how they affect him ~ and ultimately them both ~ in the 2nd book. Logan has commitment issues, can he get his head round these, go the course and stay with Tate & will we find out where his fear of falling really comes from??

Ella has such a fantastic style of writing. She catches & snares you in and from then on out you are hooked – even when it seems likes she is squeezing your heart to the point where you feel you can’t take any more you still don’t want the book to end!!!

I got so emotionally invested in the story and characters, that even though I wasn’t sure how things were gonna go (and at points I felt like my heart was gonna explode) I couldn’t put the book down..

TAKE is a definite 5 star read for me and I can’t wait to find out what happens with our gorgeous boys in the next installment of the Temptation series ~ I just cannot get enough of Logan and Tate!!!

RELEASE DAY BLITZ ~ FIGHTING FATE (Redwood Pack #7) by Carrie Ann Ryan

Jun 12

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

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.

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’!! 😉

Felicity Heaton

Betrayed by one of her own and turned into a vampire, hunter Eve is consumed by her hunger for vengeance and has spent five years surviving hell, driven to take the life of the man she once loved. But just as she is about to close in on the hunter-turned-vampire, an event is set in motion that threatens to see him slip beyond her grasp forever—the leader of her bloodline has sent an escort to bring her to the family’s mansion.

Can Eve embrace her new vampire nature in order to have her revenge and find a reason to live again in Tor? Can Tor and Eve stop the man who betrayed her and the deaths of thousands of innocents? Or will he succeed in creating a new army of hybrid vampires who will rise up against the purebloods?

**********************************************************************************************************

HUNGER – Excerpt

“You shouldn’t touch me.”

Eve frowned at those low spoken words. “Why not?”

He turned his head slightly towards her, enough that she could see he had his eyes closed, his eyebrows drawn down above them. His shoulders tensed as she pulled a long shard out of his side and she mumbled an apology.

“Because it isn’t right,” he said and she wished he would tell her straight and stop dancing around the reason.

She pulled another piece of metal out, her actions rougher this time, her irritation getting the better of her. He hissed as he sucked in a breath and blood trickled down his back.

“Sorry,” Eve said, immediately regretting what she had done. Guilt swept through her and on its heels came an instinct she fought hard to deny.

She would not lick the blood or seal the wound for him.

She grabbed some tissue and pressed it to the wound instead, and closed her eyes, shutting out the sight of all the blood on his back. She struggled against her instincts, desperate to shut out the voice that tempted her into running her tongue over Tor’s back, capturing every stray drop of his strong blood. She wanted it. She needed it.

She had to take it.

Tor wouldn’t argue.

He wouldn’t deny her. He would let her crawl up his magnificent body and sink her fangs into his throat, drinking deep of his blood. He would enjoy it.

Welcome it.

Eve turned away and shoved her palms against the cool wall tiles as her head spun, the sudden onslaught of dizziness threatening to sweep the ground out from under her and take her down to her knees.

Tor’s strong hand caught her upper arm. “Eve?”

The sound of her name in his deep accented voice sent heat rolling through her and caused her trembling to increase. Her knees turned to jelly, too weak to support her weight. His other hand clamped down on her side and he lifted her. The spinning in her head worsened and she gasped as her backside hit something hard beneath her.

“Eve?” Tor’s hands grasped her shoulders and he held her steady, and she wished she could find her voice to thank him for it. She clutched his biceps, holding herself upright on the counter of the vanity unit. “Eve?”

She nodded to let him know that she was beginning to feel better. The hunger was passing. She was winning.

She sucked in a deep breath and held it in her lungs, trying to shatter the final threads of the hunger’s hold on her.

“You need blood.” He released her arms.

Eve tightened her grip on him, fear bringing her claws out. She pressed them into his flesh, desperate for him to stay, unwilling to let him move. She couldn’t let him go for blood. She couldn’t. He wouldn’t understand.

“I’m fine.” She pushed the words out, trying to sound normal, sure that he hadn’t heard the wobble in her voice. “I think this whole evening has taken its toll on me.”

Eve risked opening her eyes and meeting his.

The ice glittering in them said he wanted to call her on her lie, that he knew she needed blood and hadn’t fed recently.

He stepped back instead and Eve quickly averted her gaze when his actions gave her a dazzling reminder that he was naked.

He raised his hand towards her face and she cursed him for it, knowing he had deliberately chosen the one he had bloodied when trying to remove a piece of shrapnel by himself. The room brightened, the sudden sharpness hurting her eyes as they changed to their true vampiric state, blazing crimson, the colour of her bloodline. Her stomach turned as her fangs dropped.

“You might be able to fool Oneiric with your lies… but you’re not fooling me. The next opportunity we get, you’re feeding.”

He turned away from her and the shower switched on, the water beating down on the plastic tray, filling the thick silence. She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t feed. The very thought made her stomach rebel and bile rise, scalding her throat. She forced her fangs away and faced Tor.

“I haven’t finished yet.” She looked at all the marks on his back, each red slash calling to her, making her fangs itch to drop again and her mouth water.

“You’re done. I shouldn’t have let you touch me.” He stepped into the shower and grimaced as water sluiced over his skin. The lower half of the glass was obscured, hiding detail from her hungry eyes.

She dragged them up and settled them on his back. He carefully scrubbed the soot from his skin, taking his time around the wounds on his arms.

“Why can’t I touch you?” She threw her voice behind that question, wanting to be sure he heard it over the running water.

He paused with his hands in his blond hair, the wet strands tangled over his long fingers, filling her head with images of her hands like that. She pushed that vision out of her head. He obviously didn’t want her in that way. His eyes altered at times when he was looking at her, banked heat breaking through the ice for a heartbeat, but he had been naked around her and hadn’t shown a flicker of interest then, and something told her it was because he had drawn a line between them at some point. Since that point, his eyes hadn’t shown even a glimmer of heat.

Since the explosion and her admission that she had been betrayed and wanted revenge.

“I’m not worthy of it. You’re to be our Chosen Daughter.” He went back to washing his hair, those beautiful fingers working the shampoo into a lather, distracting her from what he had said.

Eve frowned. “A rank I don’t want.”

She knew what a Chosen Daughter was. She wanted no part of her bloodline and definitely didn’t want to help run the wretched thing.

“A rank you have, nonetheless.” Tor ducked his head under the water and turned around, facing towards her. He rinsed his hair, his eyes closed. The honed muscles of his torso shifted in a sensual symphony, luring and tempting her. He was beautiful like that. She could easily fool herself that he was human. Just a normal man. Not a killer.

Damn, she could fool herself into thinking that when he didn’t have his eyes closed. She could make herself think it when he was dispatching vampires.

He had been incredible.

Fluid. Graceful. Powerful. A predator.

Eve shook herself when he opened his eyes and they settled on her, a small frown making his eyebrows twitch. He had felt her staring and had probably detected her feelings. She shut them down and swore she would keep better control of them in the future. It hadn’t taken her long to realise how easily vampires could sense emotions in each other, especially when the other was broadcasting them loud and clear.

She looked away and scowled as her gaze hit the mirror behind her and she saw only the room reflected in it. Her vow to keep her emotions hidden shattered instantly, the reminder of what she had become cutting her to her heart. She quickly closed her eyes and clutched the edges of the counter.

Tor’s gaze lingered on her.

He was going to ask what was wrong and she was going to look foolish and weak again.

He stared at her for what felt like eternity and then went back to showering. Eve relaxed, her grip loosening, and risked a glance at him. He had turned his back again and she leisurely perused it, taking in every scar that marked a path across his broad shoulders, a trail she happily followed.

He did have a magnificent body, like nothing she had ever seen before, and the scars didn’t detract from its masculine beauty. They only added to it and the image she had of him, that of a lethal, fearsome predator, a cold killer to his bones. He was his bloodline’s name made flesh. Violent. Yet, it was a controlled and efficient violence. Methodical and calculated, expedient.

She had never met a vampire like him. If she had, she would have died and turned a long time before Adam’s betrayal.

That name sent a hot lance through her heart and she ground her molars against the pain that welled up, spreading through her veins like acid, eating away at her.

The glass door of the shower sliding open startled her and she tensed, her gaze leaping to Tor. His blue eyes were dark, ringed with crimson, and malice emanated from him again, a wave that swept over her and made her feel she should say something, that she needed to explain things to him so he could understand the emotions running rampant through her, emotions that awakened a feral, intoxicating response in him.

Tor wouldn’t settle for the surface details she had told Oneiric though. He would want to know everything and part of her wanted to tell him. She wanted to bare herself to him and show him the ugly, terrible things that haunted her.

Her deepest, darkest secrets.

BLP ~ My review of HUNGER

HUNGER is Book 8 in the VAMPIRES REALM series from Felicity Heaton and it takes a little change of direction from the others in the series.

We first read about Eve in her sister Lilith’s book SEVENTH CIRCLE (one of my favourite FH books!! ❤ )

In this story, we meet Eve a few years after her turning and find out she is struggling with her new ‘life’….
Tor is a Hunter for the Bloodline, closed off to others, hard-hearted and a loner.

Tor has been sent by Lincoln to safely escort Eve, the Vehemen’s Bloodlines ‘Chosen Daughter’, home. As a hunter and not a bodyguard, Tor isn’t overly keen on his appointed task, but he is loyal and faithful so sets out to collect Eve.

Eve has no wish to go anywhere with Tor especially not to her new ‘home’ and tries to avoid leaving with him… She wants nothing to do with vampires bar getting revenge on the person who is the reason she is no longer human.

The story starts quickly and, as we have come to expect with this series from Felicity, is action packed, fast paced and gripping.
As a result of an event early in the story Eve manages to get Tor to agree to help her with her mission to extract revenge and fulfil her desire to dole out some justice.

Throughout the story there is a lot of focus on the relationship between the two main characters and we watch this develop and grow, regardless of the battle that they both fight to avoid it!!!

A truly fantastic addition to the series, HUNGER is, for me, a 5* read and one of my top 3 favourite VR books to date….. Although it is book #8, it could very easily be read as a Standalone.

** I was fortune at receive an ARC of Hunger from the author in exchange for an honest review. **

May 7

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

It’s not long until the release of Hunger, book #8 in the Vampires Realm series by one of my favourite authors, Felicity Heaton!!!

VR is a fabulous series that, for the most part, can be read as Standalone stories…….

Check out MASQUERADE, the seventh book in the series

Masquerade

Ten years have passed since Sophis and Vivek, two vampires of the Venia bloodline, came close to death at the hands of twin hunters Aleksis and Izabella Romanov. The events of that night turned Sophis and Vivek against each other, shattering their close friendship and driving them apart.

Now, on the eve of a centenary Creator Day masquerade and at a time when things between them are dangerously close to separating them forever, they uncover a small army of vampire hunters in Saint Petersburg, led by their nemeses, Aleksis and Izabella.

With the safety of the rulers of the seven pure vampire bloodlines in their hands and their chance for vengeance hanging in the balance, can Sophis and Vivek face their past and overcome their differences? Will they realise their true feelings for each other before it’s too late or will the hunters finally claim their lives as their deadly plot to destroy the bloodlines unfolds?

As with all of the others in the Vampire Realms series, I love this book!! Felicity has created a world & a cast of heroes and heroines that I just love to visit!!
Fantastic main characters with lots of passion, attraction & tension. The story moves along at a quick, action packed pace.
I was so pleased to see most of our old favourite heroes at the ball!!
Another great success from Felicity. I look forward to reading the next book in the VR series!!

New Release, Recommendation & Review ~ A MAJOR ATTRACTION (Good To Go series #1) by MARIE HARTE

May 7

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

A MAJOR ATTRACTION

New Release and 1st book in the ‘GOOD TO GO’ series by Marie Harte

U.S. Marine Major Kyle Waters has recently returned home after months at sea. He desperately wants some well-deserved rest, but his pleasant dreams turn from downright sinful into a nightmare when he wakes up, his arms full of a deliciously naked and thoroughly panicked Olivia Cava—the woman he’s been fantasizing about for months.

Kyle’s scheming ex-girlfriend has maneuvered Olivia into rooming with the sexy man of her dreams. Olivia’s a professional, a career woman who finds herself drawn to Kyle, as she’s been since she first laid eyes on him. Growing up as the daughter of a career military man, she’s vowed never to get involved with a Marine. Yet Kyle stirs something inside her, and she finds herself saying yes when she means to say no.

Their life goals seem worlds apart, but love will find a way. Until Kyle’s past relationship threatens to ruin the future he has only just found with Olivia. Can the truth set him free? And can Olivia put aside her five-year plan and her heartache to forgive a stubborn Marine bent on loving her…forever?

An Excerpt from A MAJOR ATTRACTION (safe for work)

“Come on, Olivia. I think you and I could be great roommates.” He couldn’t help the innuendo that laced his tone, too much in lust to control his tongue.

To his surprise and pleasure, she laughed at him. “Convince me, Romeo. What’s so great about a man, and a Marine at that, as a roommate?”

“I’m neat, I cook, and I don’t snore.”

She chuckled, and he continued on a more serious note.

“I’ll respect your privacy, and you’ll be safe here. Trust me, no one will mess with you while I’m around.” The thought of anyone harming Olivia made him see red.

“I really wasn’t looking forward to moving,” she said slowly. “It’s very nice of you to offer to let me ride out the lease. I’d like to stay.” She paused and blushed a deeper pink. “But about last night. That kind of thing can’t happen again.”

It can, and it will. “I understand.” He changed the subject, not wanting to scare her into changing her mind.

For the remainder of the meal, they made small talk that put them both at ease. To Kyle’s surprise, he felt as though he could tell Olivia anything. She listened to him, and for the first time in a long time, Kyle found himself having fun with a woman. He truly enjoyed her company. Her mind intrigued him as much as her body did, increasing his desire to know all of her. He knew he wouldn’t last much longer without tasting her again.

Once they finished dinner, he stood and cleared their plates. He returned to the table and pulled her chair out to help her stand. Instead of backing off to give her space, Kyle moved closer, so that her breasts brushed his chest. She froze, her lips parting on a breath.

“The kind of thing that can’t happen again. You mean something like this. I shouldn’t do this again.” He leaned down to skim his lips over her mouth. He moved slowly, giving her the chance to say no. She didn’t. “I definitely shouldn’t touch you like this.” He brought his arms around her waist, drawing her deeper into his embrace.

“No, you shouldn’t,” she said on a breath, her eyes wide as they stared up into his. She licked her lips in invitation, and he lowered his head once more.

No holds barred, this woman belonged to him.

MH2cropped Here’s a little about Marie……

I’ve been writing as far back as I can remember. Interest in the written word, no doubt spawned by my English teacher father, continues to this day. I’m a voracious reader, gobbling everything from romance to horror to fantasy and more. I’m in love with the art of putting pen to paper…so to speak.

I majored in English from Penn State University, earning a B.A. in Liberal Arts, as well as a commission in the United States Marine Corps. Five years later, after serving as a communications officer, I left the service to focus more on family. After going through an assortment of jobs–the Marine Corps Reserve, a government contracted agency as an IT representative, a middle manager for a Fortune 500 transportation company – I stopped working to raise two new additions to the family–my youngest sons. During this period, I decided to stop dreaming and start seriously writing.

In December of 2004 my first story was published, and I haven’t looked back since.
I currently have over eighty titles with Ellora’s Cave, Loose Id, Samhain, and Total E-Bound.

I’ve received several awards to include: the 2005 Passionate Plume for Scifi/fantasy romance, the 2006 Amber Quill Heat Wave contest winner, 1st Place in Steamy Erotic romance for the 2006 Lories, finalist in the 2007 Linda Howard Award of Excellence, finalist in the 2008 Reveal Your Inner Vixen MRWA contest, and finalist in the 2012 Reveal Your Inner Vixen MRWA contest.

Some facts about me

I’m a mood reader. If I read a book with a bad ending, it throws me into a funk for days.
If it’s paranormal, I’m digging it.
I majored in English but never read Charles Dickens until a few years ago. I have yet to read Jane Austen. Seriously.
I’m naturally lazy but perform best under deadlines.
I’ve fired a 9mm pistol, a Squad Automatic Weapon, an M16A2 rifle, an M203 grenade launcher, and have thrown live grenades. And I loved it!
Grammar is my rock. I respect those who know when to use their, there and they’re correctly.
I’m definitely a night owl.
I love books. I’ll read until they bury me, and then I’ll haunt libraries.
I can’t write to music or television. I need perfect quiet.

MY REVIEW (BLP) ~ A Great Start to a new series ~ 4*

I love a really good contemporary romance – especially when it involves a hot Marine!!! 😉

‘A Major Attraction‘ was a great start to the new Good To Go series from Marie Harte.

Hot & sexy with a healthy dose of passion and tension.. Marie writes a great story with a good bit of ‘will they/won’t they’ thrown into the mix!!!

I liked the characters of both Kyle and Olivia – though at one point I could quite happily have started slapping Kyle and not stopped!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed book one and I’m really looking forward to more in this series!!

Definitely recommend this series to both fan of Marie’s and those who have not yet read her work!!

Upcoming Release ~ A MAJOR ATTRACTION by MARIE HARTE

May 4

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

A MAJOR ATTRACTION

It’s not long until Tuesday (6 May) and the release of the first book
in the new ‘GOOD TO GO’ series by Marie Harte.

Here’s a wee R Rated Excerpt from A MAJOR ATTRACTION!!!

Then what Kyle said hit her. “You did this so I’d have my own space?”

He nodded. “You’re paying half the rent. It’s only right you have your own room, now that I’m hogging a good bit of the other one.”

“Yes, well.” She tried to sound more enthusiastic. He’d done something nice for her. No matter that the thought of not sharing his bed made her want to weep. It wasn’t just the sex. Sleeping next to him had made her feel so close, so emotionally attached. Which made no sense, really.

She’d only just begun to know him.

She was stupid for feeling hurt. How could she expect to sleep with the man each night? Though they’d technically met a year ago, serving him coffee with a smile hadn’t necessitated a name exchange. It was only yesterday that they’d finally had a decent conversation.

“Olivia?” Kyle stared at her with concern, an odd glint in his eyes. They twinkled like emeralds, and she had an uneasy suspicion he was secretly toying with her.

“Kyle?” she answered coolly. Was Maria right? Was Kyle out for a quick lay? Since he’d already had her, did he no longer want anything intimate to do with her? A man with his looks would have no problem whatsoever finding female companionship.

“I was kind of hoping you’d be happier about this. I did it for you.”

She cleared her throat and pasted a smile. “I am happy. Thank you.”

“Well.” He pursed his lips and glanced at the bed. “I thought you might want to thank me properly.”

“Properly?” Olivia followed his gaze to the bed in confusion. Did he still want her? And why should she care if he did or not? She had plenty of offers from men all the time. When she wanted sex, she could easily obtain it.

“I thought you might let me christen the bed.” He smiled at her, and that quickly, she wanted him.

“Maybe.” She took pause, trying to think clearly without images of naked Kyle ruining her resolve. Did she really want to have sex with Kyle again without establishing some rules? Fulfilling her fantasies last night was one thing, but now that she’d started to grow addicted to him, rules might be just the thing to protect her heart.

He shook his head. “Tsk, tsk.” He grabbed the hem of her shirt. “You’re thinking too much, baby. Let me ease you after such a hard day’s work.”
Utterly enraptured by his honeyed voice, she lifted her arms as he smooth-talked his way around her common sense.

“Oh yeah.” He groaned and cupped her breasts. “Another lace bra. I love these things.” He rubbed her nipples, making them sensitive and tight all too quickly.

“Kyle. Why don’t you—”

“Yes, why don’t I?” He lowered his head and took her nipple between his lips through the lace. He soaked the material, gently biting her flesh until she couldn’t stop herself from pressing close.
