Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Angie.  If I were one of your kiddos’ teachers, I would be Mrs. J or Mrs. Angie.  I have been blogging since 2012.  I was one of the 4 main hosts when WOTR started in 2016.  I am married with 2 kids, 3 dogs, and 1 crazy cat.  We are a Disney family who goes as often as possible.  My favorite genre is paranormal or MC romance.

What do you think makes WOTR so different from other events?

I think the fact that we keep the charity up front with the event, and we share so much about Thistle Farms with our attendees.  We make sure they know who we are donating to and why.  Us having Dorris attend to tell her story is another touch that shows a “face” of who we are helping.  Dorris is a bright light in the world for sure.

Why should readers choose WOTR? What’s something readers should know about WOTR?

We are a family.  We are very different from many other events.  We want everyone to feel special and appreciated, whether you are a new author with 1 book or an author with 30 books.  We also want readers who have attended every year to feel just as special as a brand new attending reader.

What is a special memory you have about WOTR?

My favorite memory …I have so many.  I think my favorite was when a brand new author applied and was tickled to be accepted.  As the years grew, so did her popularity. She swore it was due to coming to WOTR the first year.

Cozy up with your pumpkin spiced latte and a slice of apple pie, because it’s time to fall in love in Bramley Hollow…

A fall-inspired second-chance romance about a woman who returns home after inheriting her grandmother’s diner, only to discover the contractor she must hire was her high school crush.

Sweater weather is better together.

Rebecca Macintosh has always felt that there’s just something about September—nostalgia, crisp mornings, and possibility. But not this year. Rebecca has thirty days to return home to fix up her late grandmother’s diner or face the consequences. And the only contractor in town? Cort Adams. The man who rejected her one year ago. He’s somehow even better looking as a single dad than when he was the high school football star she once tutored. She’d been hoping to avoid him forever.

As the golden leaves start to fall, Rebecca may find that there’s more to her hometown—and to Cort—than she’d realized, and that the dreams she’s been chasing might have been the wrong ones. Could a spark kindle hot enough in the cool autumn air to call Rebecca home for good?

Sam has lost faith in relationships and love. Will Mike be able to crack open her hard shell and teach her to feel again?

As a part owner of Catered Affairs, Sam is a leader in the kitchen, advising the chefs about food, friends and lovers. But as her friends find Doms—and love—Sam stays steadfastly opposed to anything but one-night play scenes, never allowing a Dom to get to know who she really is deep inside.

Mike, a private investigator, is intrigued by the beautiful yet haughty sub, but he’s not interested in a superficial relationship. He becomes fully invested in anyone he plays with, giving them his rapt attention—and expecting it in return. His years in the Special Forces—and a near-death experience—has taught him to treasure every moment in life.

One night, Mike entices Sam into a scene. Through a combination of absolute control and perfectly delivered pain, he takes the staunch masochist to places she has never achieved before, making her unable to resist playing with him again. Every time they meet, Mike pushes her further, laying bare her innermost desires. But Mike finds that Sam’s reluctance to commit keeps pushing back.

As Mike starts to discover why Sam is hesitant to trust anyone, he becomes more determined to shatter her defenses and show her what real surrender to the right Dom can provide her. But a dangerous job for an old Special Forces buddy threatens to put a damper on his efforts. Can their budding relationship survive his need to protect the daughter of a friend?

Until one night, I find an injured woman in my backyard.
An injured woman who just so happens to be my mate.
It’s obvious that she’s been through something, and I know that I need to help her and keep her safe.
I’m just not sure how to go about doing that.

Ever
I’ve been locked away for so long that it’s strange being free.
Although I guess I’m not really free.
I’m scared to step outside, terrified that I’ll be found and dragged back home.
My savior, Russo, says that I can stay as long as I like.
He says that I’m already home, but I’m not sure how to trust his words.
How can I trust him when I can’t even trust myself?

The only thing more dangerous than a Grave Prowler is a Grave Prowler on a mission…
Fool
From the moment I saw her, I knew. She’s not just another woman. She’s mine.
Pure and untouched, I can’t resist her soft smile, her huge heart, or her sharp mind.
But she’s also unaware of the darkness that lurks just out of sight until it’s knocking on her door.
Evil can steal her away from me, but the coward that takes her doesn’t know who he’s messing with.
I’d tear down the world for her.
I’d burn it all to the ground.
I’ll dance on his ashes the minute I get her back.
Because this isn’t just a rescue, it’s a promise that no one will ever dare to threaten what’s mine again.
The club has a saying ‘Eye for and Eye. Tooth for a tooth.’ and they’ll get what’s coming to them. No one touches what’s mine and gets away with it.

E.C. Land is a MC and Dark Romance author who lives in the countryside of Virginia. She started her publishing journey writing MC romance, but she now has an undying love for writing in all sub-genres of dark romance.

Two wounded hearts. Two people who’d given up on love. And a chance meeting that brought them together.

When we met during a storm, I was struck by her bravery.

Afterwards, when Melissa told me who she was, I could tell she was expecting me to judge her.

But how could I when I knew all too well the pain she’d gone through, and how it could make you think of doing things you’d otherwise never consider?

On top of that, I just liked her. That’s why I gave her my number. And that’s why, when she calls me from the other side of the country, hurt and in trouble, I don’t think twice about going to help her.

I wasn’t sure I deserved his help. But I asked for it anyway.

After a violent attack, I didn’t know where else to turn. Not to my parents, who’d I’d already put through enough. Not to the so-called friends who turned their backs on me.

When I called Tyler, I half expected him to refuse me. But he didn’t. Instead, he dropped everything to come to my side.

I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised that the wounded warrior I met during a storm would insist on protecting me. Instead, the surprise was falling in love with him.

Protected from Torment is the story of two wounded people who gave up on love, only to find it again when they least expect it. It features a wounded warrior hero and a heroine searching for redemption, a team of Army veterans, found family, forced proximity, thrilling twists, and a guaranteed HEA. Can be read as a standalone.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

A chance meeting brings Melissa and Tyler together when they both stop to help people involved in an accident during a storm. I loved when Melissa nicknamed Tyler “the handsome, bossy, good Samaritan”. As they wait out the storm at a hotel, Tyler and Melissa have a chance to get to know each other. When Tyler learns who Melissa really is, she expects him to run for the hills. Instead, she is surprised when he not only stays but doesn’t judge her for her past.

When Melissa finds herself in danger after an attack she calls Tyler. Tyler doesn’t hesitate and comes running to help her. I absolutely love that, despite Melissa’s past, the guys of Blade and Arrow and their women never hold it against her. They do whatever it takes to protect her and make sure she knows they want her there.

Both Melissa and Tyler have trauma they are working through and neither believes they could ever be loved. I enjoyed the watching these two help each other face their past and find their way toward each other.  Absolutely loved Tayer’s protectiveness over Melissa.  Seeing him defend her when a teammate questioned her was heartwarming.

I have to say the twists and turns in this story kept me fully invested and needing to know what was going to happen next. I also loved the ending of this story although it is hard to see a series end this was a great one.

A couple of my favorite quotes:

“I know what my teammates-and also my best friends – would say. They’d tell me to follow my gut. That if I’m feeling something for Melissa, I should be open to it.”  ~Tyler

“I love seeing you in my clothes,” he said, with a proprietary gleam in his eyes. “Anything you want to wear of mine, it’s yours.” ~Tyler.
