<b>Book Description</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
FBI Agent Audra Wheeler has been haunted for the last thirteen years by a paranormal attack that left her sister, Kendra, in a coma. Mentored by FBI Assistant Director Jonathan Cordero to investigate crimes committed by specters, Audra believes she is on the trail of a ‘serial killer’ specter with a MO very similar to her sister’s attacker. The investigation takes her to a small town of Specter, Georgia; a haven for ghosts who exist among the living.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>So good to have you here with us, Rasheedah. American Specter sounds really wonderfully creepy, right up my alley. Tell us a bit about the story. </b></div>
<br />
The story follows an FBI Agent, Audra Wheeler, who rescued her sister from a paranormal attack when she was just a teenager. But, the attack leaves her sister in a coma. When ghosts and specters show up and become the “norm” Audra begins to suspect that earlier attack could have been a specter’s handiwork. When other victims turn up she follows that instinct and it leads her to Specter, Georgia which turns out to be a haven for ghosts. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Specter. The city sounds as spine-chilling as the story. Describe this town in one short paragraph (without spoilers) so our readers can get an idea. </b><br />
<br />
Well, it is a typical small southern town with a town square. The relationship between the specters and the living is one of peaceful but cautious coexistence. The specters have their supporters as well as their sceptics. When Audra comes to town with her theory of a spectre serial killer it definitely sets the town on edge and strains that peaceful coexistence. <br />
<br />
<b>What makes FBI Agent Audra Wheeler special? Does she have any quirks? </b><br />
<br />
The thing I like most about Audra is that she goes with her instincts even when it can cost her career. She’s not afraid to face the evils of the past to get to the truth. It definitely would be easy for her to just leave things alone, but she’s not looking for the easy way out. <br />
<br />
She doesn’t have any quirks per se, but the people and entities around her certainly do. My favourite being a specter called Gwyn. In life Gwyn was the traditional bookworm wallflower. But, as a spectre she’s taken on a flare for dramatics that help Audra along the way. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>My motto is, put yourself in your character's shoes. What would you do if you were in Audra's shoes? </b><br />
<br />
I would never want to be in Audra’s shoes. One reason being that she’s constantly surrounded by death. One thing she reflects on in the book is the fact that not all of the specters were able to live a long and full life. There are children, and teenage, and young adult specters. They all died. I would not want to be in the thick of facing that on a daily basis. <br />
<br />
<b>Is this a series? Do you have other upcoming releases? </b><br />
<br />
This is a series. I do have other upcoming releases. My Science Fiction Romance Novella Series Amullette Rose will release it’s next bookAmullette Aflame in time for the summer heat. The sequel to this noel: American Specter: Winter Solstice will release in time for Christmas 2014. <br />
<br />
<b>As a writer, we usually have special quotes in the stories we write. What's your favourite in American Specter? </b><br />
<br />
“There are some souls that are too good for this Earth.” Every time I think of tragedy and people who parish before their time, especially when it’s due to senseless violence I think it must be because they really are beautiful people who are too good for the human condition. <br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for stopping by, Rasheedah! :)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I stepped
into his space, backed him up against the counter, and leant real close so that
only he and I could hear what I was about to say. “Now would be the right time for you and your
family to leave. I don’t like any of the
shit that’s just gone down, so unless you want trouble between the two of us,
leave now,” I threatened. When I saw
him hesitate, I grabbed a handful of his shirt and snarled, “Did you not
understand what I just said, motherfucker?”
We glared at each other for a couple of moments before I let him go,
shoving him hard against the counter in the process. Keeping my eyes trained on his, I slowly
stepped back. Planting my legs wide, I
crossed my arms in front of my chest and scowled at him. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Harlow opened her mouth to say
something but I caught the movement and flicked my gaze to her for a second,
giving her a clear message to stay out of it.
She shut her mouth and glared back at me, her eyes widening in a ‘what
the fuck’ type gesture. That shocked the
shit out of me, and my concentration was diverted from the asshole to her. I’d never been given that look by a chick
before; usually it was J or Nash who challenged me like that. I raised my eyebrows at her, and fuck me if
she didn’t raise hers right fucking back. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Life can be a bitch but love can get you through any storm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Madison Cole’s family is the Storm Motorcycle Club. Her father is the President and her brother is the VP. She grew up surrounded by bikers, crime and violence. Two years ago she walked away from her family and the world they live in. Her soul was shattered, her heart was broken and she had an addiction she couldn't shake. She picked up the pieces and put herself back together. Now her family wants her back. The club is being threatened and they send a club member to return her home to safety; the one person that could destroy everything she has worked so hard to build.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jason Reilly has sacrificed a lot for the motorcycle club he calls family. Two years ago he made the biggest sacrifice of all; he gave up the woman he loved for them. Now he is being sent to bring her back and he is conflicted. He thought he was over her but discovers their connection is as strong as ever. Their love was all-consuming, passionate and fiery. It was also their undoing and he doesn't know if either of them is strong enough to battle the demons that ripped them apart, to find love again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Madison and Jason are brought back together by a force out of their control; one that pushes them to a breaking point. Can they overcome their past and discover a love worth fighting for or will the harsh reality of their world finally and completely break them both?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;">All Jade ever wants is an intelligent, well-mannered, and highly educated man like her daddy. One who has stellar career prospects as he climbs the corporate ladder to success. A good provider who will give her a stable life and a gorgeous house in the right neighborhood. A charmed life. Everything orderly and well balanced. Her perfect match. Isn't that what every woman wants? What she doesn’t want is a smartass, cocky, rough-around-the-edges biker. One who has tattoos and piercings, and looks like a sex god. One who is demanding and controlling. The ultimate alpha male who storms into her life and shakes her to the core. Jade never saw it coming. Ryder is the one man she can’t resist. He shows her what she really needs. Him.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">All Ryder wants is inner peace. Freedom from the hatred churning in his gut. Since his mother deserted him, his life has turned to sh*t. He’s killed a man, lost his brother and fought for his survival. All before turning twelve. Saved by Razor and Cobra, sons of the Scorpions, he owes his life and allegiance to them. The Scorpion MC is his only family. One he will serve and protect till his dying breath. What he doesn’t need in his life is a smart mouthed woman who thinks she’s better than him. One who pushes every one of his buttons. One who challenges him to want to be more than a drifter. One who makes him question everything he’s ever known. Ryder never saw it coming. He can’t get Jade out of his head. She shows him what he really wants. Her.</span></span> </div>

<span style="background: white; color: #181818;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jani has been married for a long time to a special man, and her two children and their partners are the sunshine in her life. She is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.</span></span><span style="color: #181818;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><br /><span style="background: white;">Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is traveling - she has traveled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby - Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.</span><br /><br /><span style="background: white;">Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).</span></span></span></span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="normal">
<i><span lang="EN-US">A deadly
accident can take a life in more than one way.</span></i></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span lang="EN-US">Four years ago, Carlene Adams made a deadly
mistake. A tragic accident derailed the future she'd hoped for, taking the life
of the man she'd planned to spend forever with. </span></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span lang="EN-US">As a self-imposed penance for her solitary
sin, Carlene has given up on every dream she ever had. She has committed to
spend every remaining moment trying to make up for that one instance when
everything changed.</span></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Then she
gets a second chance.</span></i></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span lang="EN-US">When Carlene meets Nick Johnson, the single
kiss they share awakens the desires she shoved aside for so long. Suddenly she
wants more than what she believe she deserves. Will she ever see him again? And
if she does, what will that mean for her?</span></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<i><span lang="EN-US">A thing

waits for fate to intervene. But just as she begins to believe in a fresh
start, she's forced to realize a horrible truth—one with the power to send her
second chance crashing before it even takes off. </span></div>
<div class="normal">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal">
<span lang="EN-US">Nick isn't who she thought he was. She isn't
the girl he believed her to be, either. Their lives were intertwined even
before they met, and if Carlene tells him the truth, she’ll risk tearing them
apart—for good.</span></div>

<br />
My thoughts:<br />
<br />
I really loved this novella! Carlene has never had an easy life, but she has really wonderful friends, and works in a homeless shelter. After a happenstance meet with Nick, she feels a connection to him she hasn't felt in a long time but life has thrown a few curveballs at her so she's cautious about who she lets in her heart. She later decides to step out of her comfort zone, and leave the shelter and look for job, start life a fresh.<br />
This is a short story, about 104 pages on Amazon, and I really enjoyed every single scene in this story, but what I really loved the most was the twist at the end of the story. Nick is confident, so gentle with Carlene and really hot at the same time. *swoon* Wohoo! I can't wait to read the second novella in this series, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18802467-rekindled-moments?from_search=true">Rekindled Moments,</a> when it releases in February.<br />

happy endings and mint chocolate. She thinks love and chocolate make such a
perfect pair. Give her a great romance novel and a mug of hot chocolate and
she'd be one happy woman. Don't forget to leave behind a couch with lots of

<span lang="EN-US">Sometimes, being in the wrong place at the
wrong time is where you need to be for the good things in life to fall into
place.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US">Max Brady is a 25 year old, fresh out of
college, ambitious woman that doesn't take crap from anyone, and often uses men
before tiring and disposing of them. She’s landed her dream job at the internet
search engine company Fiddle. Unfortunately, she is stuck working as an
assistant to the company’s CEO, but she’s hopeful that if she plays nice, one
day she’ll be promoted. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US">Catch is an assassin. He’s been working this
job for twelve years and now with his family taken care of he is ready to
retire. All he wants to do is complete his last assignment, collect his large
sum of cash, and then disappear to a nice, quiet place in another country. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US">When Max makes the huge mistake of sleeping
with her boss, she decides to copy some files from his computer to hold as
leverage in the event that he may try to fire her. Little does she know, the
files hold secrets that can take down her boss and the entire Fiddle company. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US">That decision changes the course of both of

<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="normal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US">Catch is hired to kidnap and kill Max, but
instead he chooses to save her life. They go on the run as he tries to
formulate a plan to remove the hit on Max, because he believes that she was
just in the wrong place at the wrong time. As they spend more time together,
Catch’s motivation for saving her life changes with his realization that if
anything happens to Max he may be unable to live without her.</span><br />

<b><span lang="EN-US">My thoughts:</span></b><br />
<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b>
<span lang="EN-US">CATCH is one hell of a story. </span><br />
<b><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></b>
<span lang="EN-US">The story starts off with Catch, being given an assignment on his next hit, but something bothers him, and feels something is not right, but he doesn't question it. It's his last assignment after all. Until he meets Max. </span><br />
<br />
Max just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when she innocently does something, which in her opinion will act as leverage when the time comes. What she doesn't know is that, she has unknowingly walked into a minefield, and Catch is about to descend on her like a dark cloud.<br />
<br />
What follows is a chase of sorts as Catch does everything to save Max.<br />
<br />
Wow, talk about a swoonworthy Alpha! Catch is that and more. Max is feisty, and holds onto control like she's holding onto her last breath. What a wonderful pair!<br />
This book is fast paced, and hot, hot, hot. I highly recommend this book! I can't wait to read the next book in this series!<br />

<span style="color: navy;">SYNOPSIS</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><i>One text can change everything.</i></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Honor Calhoun never thought her life would ever be like the books she writes for a living. One morning while out for a run, she learns not all bad things are plots in novels. Some horrors can actually come true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She faces off with a persistent attacker, holds her own, but in the end is taken hostage and thrown into a hole. In the middle of the woods.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But Honor didn’t go down there alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She took her kidnapper’s phone with her. With a spotty signal and a dying battery, her hope is slim.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nathan Reed is an active duty Marine stationed at a small reserve base in Pennsylvania. All he wants is a calm and uneventful duty station where he can forget the memories of his time in a war-torn country.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But a single text changes everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nathan becomes Honor’s only hope for survival, and he has to go against the clock, push aside his past, and take on a mission for a girl he’s never met.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of them want freedom… but they have to survive long enough to obtain it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***This is a new adult contemporary novel and contains sexual content and graphic language. It is not intended for young adult readers.***</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
My thoughts:</h2>
<div>
I was really excited to read this book, especially since it's written in dual POV. I enjoyed reading the book, though I had a few difficulties with it. First the characters are awesome. Nathan is retired Marine and Honor is a writer. The book started off really well, full of suspense, and I kept reading, my ipad clutched in my hands, waiting and wanting to see what happens. </div>
<div>
It kind of went off the rails for me when on several occasions, the situation she was in and what had nearly happened clashed with how she was supposed to react. Or someone in her situation would act.</div>
<div>
All in all, this is an enjoyable story, and if you are looking for a good contemporary romance, pick this one up!<br />

<i>Nathan flashed a grin in the darkness. I longed to see him in the light. I wanted to know the angles and planes of his face. I wanted to take in his features and truly see the man who had literally saved my life.</i>
<i>Nathan seemed oblivious to my thoughts as I watched him tidy up the first aid kit. Before he put it on the floor, he glanced at me. “Where else are you hurt?”</i>
<i>“I won’t be requiring any more Band-Aids,” I quipped.</i>
<i>He turned to look at me fully. His hand closed over mine and he gently took the flashlight from my grasp and clicked it off. “What about your ribs?”</i>
<i>“I don’t think you have anything in that kit for them.” </i>
<i>“Let me see them.”</i>
<i>“Wh-what?” My mouth ran dry. He wanted to look under my shirt?</i>
<i>“I want to see them.”</i>
<i>“That’s not really necessary—”</i>
<i>He studied me and then thrust his hand out in the space between us. “Hey, I’m Nathan Reed. It’s nice to meet you.”</i>
<i>I wanted to laugh. We were a little beyond a formal introduction. But it was fun (hey, you try being kidnapped and beaten and see what you consider fun), so I slid my hand into his. “I’m Honor.”</i>
<i>He held my hand a little longer than he needed to, his thumb brushing over the inside of my wrist. I caught myself right before I started purring like a cat. </i>
<i>That would have been hella embarrassing.</i>
<i>“I’m a Staff Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. My favorite color is green, and I like football.” </i>
<i>“What are you doing?” I asked, thoroughly charmed by him.</i>
<i>“Formally introducing myself so you’ll let me under your shirt.”</i>
<i>I laughed. “I usually don’t let men I just met under my shirt.”</i>
<i>“I’m irresistible.” </i>
<i>I smiled. “And so modest.”</i>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Eighteen-year-old Kaitlyn Laurent is living the American Dream. Born into a
wealthy, socialite family with more opulent surroundings and material things
than any girl could even fathom, Kaitlyn is the fresh, young face amidst a sea
of morally-amiss Manhattan Debutantes. She is educated, poised, and on the
outside - entirely virtuous. Her life, in short, is perfect.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Or so it would seem.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Inside the walls of her Upper East Side mansion, Kaitlyn is struggling. After
her parents' divorce and her father's remarriage to a beautiful but otherwise
utterly vapid woman, Kaitlyn quickly finds herself living in a realm of
self-created fantasy, completely detached and entirely clashing with her new
family – particularly, her classmate-turned-stepbrother, Marius. Arrogant and
with a penchant for playing games, he is intrigued and infatuated by Kaitlyn's
faux-chaste outer facade that she uses to cover an otherwise calloused heart.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When the two of them enter into into their final semester at Trinity Prep, and
the buzz around campus is that a gorgeous new teacher has set foot in the
classroom, Marius makes Kaitlyn a bet: seduce the man who is now her Literature
teacher.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>If she wins, she gets his trust fund. Money that she can use to finally escape
a life that she has come to loathe.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>If Marius wins...he gets her virginity.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When an initial spark turns into full-blown obsession, and her affections are
inevitably returned – Kaitlyn learns that there are no actions without
consequence, and some affairs are simply <i>star-crossed</i>.</b><br />

Rumor Has It by Elisabeth Grace <br />
(Limelight #1) <br />
Publication date: December 6, 2013<br />
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance<br />
<br />
<b>Synopsis:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
All publicity is good publicity, right? Unless you’re recent college grad Ellie Wagner and an embarrassing video of you and your boyfriend goes viral. Every man in your life abandons you, but who knew a one-minute clip of your latest doomed relationship would brand you a slut, prevent you from getting your perfect job, and force you to keep doing the one thing you swore you’d never do again…live with your mother.<br />
<br />
But staying with mom and her latest boy-toy (is this husband number four or five?) until your life turns around might not be all bad. Especially when you fall – literally – at the feet of a sexy, green-eyed stranger who offers you freedom and a life of luxury on a gold-rimmed platter.<br />
<br />
There’s only one little problem – the man of your dreams is none other than Mason Nash, the latest hip-hop star busting up the music charts. Fame and fortune are his calling cards and he’s vying to steal the show on a new reality TV series that will catapult him into mainstream stardom. Hello spotlight.<br />
<br />
The man behind the famous persona is perfect for Ellie in every way, but can she overcome the ugly pitfalls that come with Mason’s celebrity status? Or will she be forced to choose between the man she loves and the independent life she longs for? After all, fame and fortune aren’t always what they seem and not all publicity is good publicity…<br />

<i>Lights, camera, and passions flare as a small town boy gets the break of his career. As the lines of life and art blur together, can he also find a way to win the love of the girl who got away?</i><br />
<br />
<b>Carter Samuel Groveson.</b><br />
<br />
His name is on the lips of every woman in the country who has a pulse. An actor pulled from obscurity to star in the most anticipated movie of the century, he’s an enigma to all. Everyone wants a piece of him.<br />
<br />
Except her.<br />
<br />
Amelia St. John isn’t about to follow the life plan that her father set out for her. She refuses to be tied down or commit to anyone. A year ago, she ran as far and as fast from Sam Groveson as she could. But when he reappears in her life and asks her to be the friend he needs to keep him tethered to reality in the midst of the chaos, she can’t say no.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately for Sam, his big break comes with expectations that threaten his career if he doesn’t toe the line. In this high stakes game of love, everyone is watching.

<div style="text-align: start;">
<br />
Five years ago, twenty-three-year-old panther shifter Sera Czedar left her home and her newly mated groom in a humiliating position after a mating ceremony gone wrong. She built a new life for herself in Varselles, the City of Outcasts where shifters exiled from their clans in the Seven Kingdoms can go for sanctuary.<br />
<br />
Five years ago, panther shifter Levian Grayson was abandoned on the bonding bed by his bride, Sera. After years of tracking her, he arrives in Varselles, intent on staking his claim on her once and for all, even if it means hauling her over his shoulder just to make sure that happens.<br />
<br />
Sera has always known her homecoming would eventually catch up with her one day. The one thing she can’t bear to do is hurt Levian, which will happen as soon as he finds out the reason she left him. Is she ready to take that path? Most of all, will Levian still want her when the truth comes out?</div>

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">He settled her back on the counter again, this time parting her legs
so he could stand between them and holding her in place. Gods, he could stare
at his woman his whole damn life.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Tegue’s chair scraped on the wood floor, viciously yanking Levian
thoughts—and eyes—from Sera. He turned to see Tegue push himself to his feet
and carefully inspect his battered body for damage. Tegue winced, then turned
huge blue eyes to Sera, unleashing a look that irritated Levian to no end. The
kind that involved huge, wounded eyes and a slight pout in order to achieve
some sort of pity. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">What a toddler! </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"> Levian felt Sera shift, and he
clamped his hand tighter. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Tegue glanced at Levian’s hand, and when he realised he wasn’t
getting any pity, he sighed and said, “Your father said you might say that. He
wanted you to come home of your own free will, but when it seemed that wasn’t
going to happen…. He was about to Summon you when the investigator came in with
the news.” </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">She blinked, her eyes growing round once again. “He wanted to Summon
me? <i>My own father</i> wanted to use that
power to force me back home?” </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">“He is the Alpha.” Tegue stretched his legs, seeming oblivious to
Sera’s increasing panic. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The only time Levian could remember her father Summoning her was
when she was fifteen and she’d run off in the woods, preferring not to take
part in his lessons on how to become Alpha. Those magic words from his lips had
dragged her across the grass, slapping against trees until she found herself
glaring into his bright blue eyes. Summoning was one hell of a bitch. The
invisible bonds woven within each member in the clan ensured Summoning worked
seamlessly.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Levian snuck his hand around her neck and began to massage the spot
below her ear. He growled in approval when she leaned into his touch, her eyes
closed. He could bet no one had touched her like this in the past five years,
what with the way her back arched forwards. “Come on, let it out. You know you want to
purr for me, Sera. See, no one can touch you like I do.” He chuckled when her eyes
snapped open and she tried to scowl at him but failed miserably. “Your father
really wants you home. He will do anything to bring you back. He kept throwing
around things like ‘Summon her if you must’ and ‘Club her on the head and drag
her back home if it comes to that.’”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">She narrowed her eyes at him. “Are you threatening me, Levian?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">He shrugged. “I want you back home. With me.”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">“You are not in a position to perform the Summoning on me.” A smile
replaced the scowl on her face. A very smug smile.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Levian’s fingers halted. He cocked his head to one side, lips curved
into a half-smile. “Aren’t I?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">She studied him through narrowed eyes. “No.” </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Tegue snorted. “As a matter of fact, he is. Aren’t you, little
brother?”</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Yes,” Levian said. “I am.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">A frown puckered her forehead, and he knew if he tried to kiss it
away, he might end up losing his lips. And he needed them for later.</span></div>
<br />

Sarah Langham’s life was the epitome of normal until her dad slept with another woman when she was sixteen. It ripped her family apart.
Twenty-two-year-old Sarah has it together, though.
Waiting at the train station to go home from her first day of her first proper job out of university, she spots a man.
He is an enigma to her. She’s drawn to him, with his square jaw; buzz of hair; and his tall, solid frame, seen under the contours of his business suit. And he’s been looking at her, too. Fate pulls them together that night on a whirlwind date, exceeding anything Sarah’s experienced before. He’s even more into her than she’s into him. Finally, she wants to trust a guy for the first time since she was sixteen.
But then they discover something.
Something that meant they were never two strangers at a train station.
And it threatens to tear their future<br />
apart before it, really, ever begins.
<br />

<b></b><b>About the Author</b>
Rebecca Berto writes stories about love and relationships. She gets a thrill when her readers are emotional reading her books, and gets even more of a kick when they tell her so. She's strangely imaginative, spends too much time on her computer, and is certifiably crazy when she works on her fiction.
Rebecca Berto lives in Melbourne, Australia with her boyfriend and their doggy.

<strong>Book description:</strong><br />
<br />
**Mature Content Warning** 17+ for language and sexual content.<br />
<br />
Five years ago, twenty-three-year-old panther shifter Sera Czedar left her home and her newly mated groom in a humiliating position after a mating ceremony gone wrong. She built a new life for herself in Varselles, the City of Outcasts where shifters exiled from their clans in the Seven Kingdoms can go for sanctuary. <br />
<br />
Five years ago, panther shifter Levian Grayson was abandoned on the bonding bed by his bride, Sera. After years of tracking her, he arrives in Varselles, intent on staking his claim on her once and for all, even if it means hauling her over his shoulder just to make sure that happens. <br />
<br />
Sera has always known her homecoming would eventually catch up with her one day. The one thing she can’t bear to do is hurt Levian, which will happen as soon as he finds out the reason she left him. Is she ready to take that path? Most of all, will Levian still want her when the truth comes out?<br />

<strong>BLURB:</strong> After a tragedy nearly ripped 21 year old Madeline Darlington-Gray’s life in half, she's spent the past three years trying to put the pieces back together. But pieces never just fit back together, and when she's betrayed by those she trusts, everything crumbles. Shoving everything she owns into the trunk of her car, Maddie drives south, trying to run from her past.<br />
<br />
Eno, North Carolina seems like the perfect place to hide. Working at a local café is light years from Maddie's Manhattan existence and for the first time in a while, she's finding her family. There's Grandma, the café owner; Samantha, the hairstylist next door with plans to make Maddie's life unsuck and Noie, the three year old girl who's stolen Maddie's heart.<br />
And then there’s Gabriel Mendez, Noie’s single dad. He’s intrigued Maddie since the first time she met him, and while he has his own secrets, he wants more from her than just friendship. But the past never stays past, and all too soon, Maddie realizes she can't hide from hers. If she can't put the pieces of her shattered life together this time, she'll have no hope for a future.<br />
A future she desperately wants.<br />

About the Author:<br />
<br />
KK Hendin's real life ambition is to become a pink fluffy unicorn who dances with rainbows. But the schooling for that is all sorts of complicated, so until that gets sorted out, she'll just write. Preferably things with angst and love. And things that require chocolate. She spends way too much time on Twitter, and rambles on occasion over at <a href="http://www.kkhendinwrites.blogspot.com/">www.kkhendinwrites.blogspot.com</a>.<br />

<strong>TEASER:</strong><br />
<br />
“Uh, miss?”<br />
“Daddy, its friend!”<br />
<br />
“Noie, she’s sleeping. Miss, are you okay?”<br />
<br />
I opened my eyes to see a startling green pair looking down at me. “Are you okay?” he asked again, looking concerned. And like he had just rolled out of bed. Was I dreaming? Because dreaming about him was a welcome change from the usual nightmares I had. Those never had guys who looked like a darker version of Thor. Which was a shame. Thor dreams didn’t end with me waking up screaming.<br />
<br />
“I’m fine,” I said, struggling to sit up. He crouched down and offered me a hand. I took it and felt my nerves explode in awareness. There was no way this was a dream. I hoped it wasn’t.<br />

new guy extraordinaire, shows up on the first day of classes everything starts

pulls her in. Carissa would rather be single than deal with the complications
of a relationship, especially with a determined guy like Eric. But he fights
past her walls and makes it hard to stay away. Carissa wants to be with Eric –
but she wants her freedom too and Eric isn’t willing to let her go.</span></span></div>

to give him another chance then his lies may just cause love to slip through
their fingers.</span></span></div>

<strong>The Long Game book blurb:</strong><br />
Smooth talking. Ambitious. Loyal. Twenty-year-old Shay Reilly has proven himself to his Irish-American Gypsy clan on small-scale cons, but now the clan leader has a bigger mission for him: playing the long game. <br />
<br />
To rake in the big score he’s after, he needs to con co-ed Spencer into falling in love with him. He knows he should see Spencer as a mere means to an end, but that’s easier said than done when there’s a witty, attractive girl in your arms. <br />
<br />
Now the only thing that can keep them apart is the thing that brought them together: Shay’s plans of revenge against someone who wronged his clan and family years before—Spencer’s father<br />

About the author J.L. Fynn: J.L. Fynn is the public face of a private identity. She enjoys making up stories about iniquitous heroes, providing Delphic answers to unasked questions, and obfuscating the truth just for laughs. But then, what’s an author but a professional liar? If you send her an email she might let you in on her little secret—assuming she likes your moxie. <br />

<b>Author: </b>Marata Eros
<br />
<b>Publisher:</b> Simon & Schuster
<b></b><br />
<b>Expected release: </b>February 18, 2014
<br />
<b>Genre:</b> Dark Romantic Suspense

<b>Age Group:</b> New Adult<br />
<br />
A sexy and poignant new adult novel from New York Times bestseller Marata Eros, about two lost souls who find each other in the wake of tragedy, only to learn that love may not be enough to heal the wounds of a dark and tortured past...<b></b>
Twenty year-old Brooke Starr has escaped the aftermath of a brutal tragedy by abandoning her music studies and moving north to take a summer position as a part-time deck hand on a deep-sea fishing boat. When her survivor’s guilt becomes unbearable, Brooke realizes there's only one thing she can do to finally erase the pain.<b></b>
Deep sea fisherman, Chance Taylor, has just wrapped his guitar set at the local saloon when he sees the silhouette of a young woman in repose, the full moon highlighting her shadow as she plummets from a pier too high for diving... into water too cold to survive. Without thinking, he plunges in after her, saving Brooke from drowning.
As Chance works to save her from her own emotional fragility, Brooke finally begins to learn how to save herself. But when their chemistry begins to consume them, Brooke withdraws. She’s determined to be the master of her own destiny... until the past catches up with her in a cataclysmic plan so dark, so final... it threatens their love and their very lives.

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
Words
died on her lips as her head jerked up. Familiar green eyes glared down at her.
And those lips carved into a hard line on an equally hard face! The bottom one was
fuller than the upper lip, his jaw covered in a day-old stubble. The body was completely
different from the one she remembered. The gangly, somewhat awkward boy she’d
left back home was gone and in his place, a six foot five well muscled, broad
shouldered male. His hair was cropped close to the scalp. His upper body was draped
in a black knee—length coat, parted to reveal a white shirt, and a lime green buttoned
up double-breasted vest that enhanced his eye colour. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Strong thighs wrapped in brown tight, buckskin
trousers and black knee-length boots. And that face, sweet mother of all Saints!
It resembled one carved out of marble the colour of honey. All hard planes and
angles, right now edge with fury. </div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
The
floor of her stomach gave way and her heart plunged to her toes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
Those
damn hinges squealed as the door clicked shut, jerking her from her perusal.
The adrenaline that had acted as fuel before, drained as she stared into
furious green eyes, more panther than human.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“Going
somewhere, my runaway mate?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
Oh
dear saint of love! His voice had changed and was more deeper, rougher, and
this moment, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>reminding her of the
troubled sea with a storm brewing on the horizon.</div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“Levian.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
At
least her voice sounded confident. Not her heart though. The poor organ was beating
wildly in her chest threatening to kill her before her seething mate got his
large hands around her neck.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“Please
come in.” Her mind grappled, searching for another escape route. None came to
mind.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“Excellent,”
he said, tilting his head gracefully to the side, and stepped inside the shop,
his shoulders blocking anything beyond her line of sight. “I see you are in
good health.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
He
took a step forward, she took one back. He took another and she followed suit,
it became a dance of sorts until she felt something dig into her tailbone.
She’d hit the furthest shelf in the deepest part of the book shop.<br />
<br />
Panic became
a living thing.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
During<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the first year after she arrived in
Varselles, she’d nearly driven herself to destruction, glancing over her
shoulder every time. One year later, she’d stopped, knowing she’d succeeded in
hiding well. She never bothered with a contingency plan. Staring into those
glowing green eyes, she wondered at her stupidity.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
She
watched as he halted, slowly slid the leather gloves from his hands as if he
had all the time in the world, then shoved them in his coat pocket. He flexed
his fingers, his gaze roving her face, then settled for staring into her eyes.
A series of emotions played across his face. What was he thinking? Other than
probably strangling the daylights out of her?<br />
<br />
His eyes dropped to her mouth, his
nostrils flared, eyes dilating. Well, now she <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">knew</i> what he was thinking about. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her tongue snuck out to wet her lips,
grappling for words—any words— to keep the tension which was now a living,
breathing thing, from swallowing her whole.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
The
past few years she’d dreamed of the day he’d look at her like this again—minus
the fury simmering in his eyes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But now, with everything just hanging in the
air—</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
He
swallowed the inch of space between them and she tensed, at the same time
swimming in his scent: like leather and that special soap he was fond of with
its citrusy smell. His scent was rooted inside every little crevice in her
body.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“You
are not about to run off again, are you, Sera?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hearing her name spoken in that voice and
those lips had her stomach clench and heat up at the same time.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Damn it!</i> Why was her tongue stuck on the
roof of her mouth? She was <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Storm</i>.
She wasn’t famous for being scared easily. Now she was treading the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“unknown territory” and it made her want to
flee at the same time, fling herself onto the hard body of her mate and just
let nature take its course.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
Calloused
hands gripped her upper arms.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
She
tensed, but let the warmth seep into her skin. “We have to talk.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
He
cocked a brow at her. “You don’t say.”</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
He
brushed her cheeks with his knuckles, tracing her throat with his fingertips,
and when he they skated the spot<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on her
nose that was dented, a souvenir from her first fight four years ago in her first
fight in The Rings, she wasn’t sure she was breathing anymore. His hands slid
lower to unhook her bag from her shoulder and tossed it on the closest table
where it landed with a loud thud.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
Without
warning, his hand moved up to cup her neck firm, leaned down and buried his
face into her neck, sniffing long and hard until she felt as if he’d breathed
in every trace of her scent into his body.</div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“You
still have my scent. Deep in your veins.” He sounded smug, satisfied. </div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">

So today I am so excited to share with you the cover for my upcoming paranormal romance, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18072494-homecoming">Homecoming</a>, the reveal is also on my other blog <a href="http://cecereadandwrite.blogspot.com/">http://cecereadandwrite.blogspot.com</a>.
I wanted to share it here as well. This cover has been lounging in my hard disk for over two months now.
It took all my energy not to cave in and share, because it's
GORGEGOUS!!! Once again, the one and only <a href="http://ravven.com/">Ravven</a>, who did Reaper's Novice cover, knocked me off my feet with this one. So, I'll stop babbling and get right down to it. :D I'll be posting some yummy teasers and photos soon. Keep an eye on excerpt and photos.<br />

Welcome to my new NA &Adult blog designed by the awesome and talented, Livia @ <a href="http://butterflyometerdesigns.blogspot.com/">http://butterflyometerdesigns.blogspot.com/</a>. Isn't it gorgeous?<br />
I decided to go ahead and create another blog dedicated to New Adult and Adult books - both mine and others. At least this way, it will be easier sharing snippets from books rated as Mature content for over +17. <br />
<br />
I have a few upcoming projects, mostly NA/Adult crossover that I am really excited to share with you.<br />
<br />
My steampunk/Paranormal romance with fantasy elements "<i>Homecoming: A Cloaked Devices short story" </i>will be released in October 2013. This story centers around a world parallel to ours populated by shifters. Homecoming in particular is about Sera, a panther shifter who leaves her home after a mating ceremony gone wrong. Her mate who she left on the bonding bed finally tracks him down five years later. There is more to the story than what meets the eye, though: :D <br />
<br />
This is my first paranormal romance, and I had so much fun writing this story. Xpresso Book Tours will help out with the cover reveal. Let me tell you, the cover is GORGEOUS! It was done by Ravven @ <a href="http://www.ravven.com./">www.ravven.com.</a> This girl's got talent. If you've seen my YA Urban Fantasy cover, you'll know what I mean. :)<br />
<br />

Here is the blurb for Homecoming:<br />
<br />
**Mature Content Warning** 17+ for language and sexual content.<br />

Five years ago, twenty-three-year-old panther shifter Sera Czedar left her home and her newly mated groom in a humiliating position after a mating ceremony gone wrong. She built a new life for herself in Varselles, the City of Outcasts where shifters exiled from their clans in the Seven Kingdoms can go for sanctuary. <br />
<br />
Five years ago, panther shifter Levian Grayson was abandoned on the bonding bed by his bride, Sera. After years of tracking her, he arrives in Varselles, intent on staking his claim on her once and for all, even if it means hauling her over his shoulder just to make sure that happens. <br />

Sera has always known her homecoming would eventually catch up with her one day. The one thing she can’t bear to do is hurt Levian, which will happen as soon as he finds out the reason she left him.

This is FUN story! I'm having so much fun with Sophie and Rafael, and I can't wait for you to get to know them. <br />

<span id="freeText13993362710019394443">“I’ve never bowed or
kneeled for anyone,” Rafael said. “Never thought I would.” Then he was
on his knees. He slid his arms around my waist, tugging me closer and
bowed his head.</span><br />
<span id="freeText13993362710019394443">“You own me, Sophie.” He looked up, his dark eyes
hitting me with enough force to snatch the breath from my lungs. “You’ve
owned me from the moment I walked into your life in that music room.
Then I saw you slipping out the window like the wolves were after you
and I knew I wanted you in my life. You’ve wrapped yourself in my heart
and mind. I can’t get you out. I don’t want to.” </span><br />
<span id="freeText13993362710019394443"></span><span id="freeText13993362710019394443"><br />Graduate opera
singer, Sophie Fisher’s life is on fire and it’s not her breathtaking
voice lighting it, but the trail of debts her father left behind after
he passed away a few months ago. If she’s not ducking around corners or
slipping out of windows to escape the debt collectors and a slew of
characters sent from hell, she’s dealing with her rebellious
fifteen-year-old sister, Lilli, who is still coming to terms with their
father’s death. And as if that’s not enough, Rafael Van Rees bursts into
her life—literally—bringing with him a set of emotions she isn’t
prepared to deal with and a life the public had no idea of.<br /><br />Rafael
Van Rees, Maestro extraordinaire, just wants to be left in peace to
date whichever woman he feels like, have dinner with whomever he feels
like, and just enjoy his life. Until he meets Sophie and his past
returns to haunt him. And just when he thought he didn’t care about her,
his history proves him wrong. He knows when it comes to her, it’s all
or nothing. Besides, she makes him feel fuzzy all over.<br />Is Sophie’s fire hot enough to melt the ice coursing through his veins?<br /><br />**To be released Winter 2013**</span><br />
