Blurb:

From New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery comes her first duo of paranormal romances!

ONCE UPON A TIME…
the most beautiful boy in the world kissed me.
I’ve never been able to forget.
Perhaps it was his jet-black hair,
or the changing copper-color of his eyes,
the intense way he looked at me…
or the fact that he awakened my passion for the first time,
at once otherworldly yet heartbreakingly real.
But after that kiss, I never saw him again.

His name was Jack Beauloup.
Jack, my “Beautiful Wolf.”

Twenty years passed. He has returned. For me.

Blurb:

The thrilling conclusion of Katy Regnery’s first paranormal romance series!

HAPPILY EVER AFTER…
To some, they’re just words signifying a fairytale ending.
For me, Jack Beauloup, they represent an unyielding desire:
Forever with Darcy Turner, the unexpected love of my life.
A love that has placed her human life in danger.

According to Pack Law, my binding is an abomination that must be severed.
It’s ignited a fiery hatred that I must confront and control.

But what is bound cannot be broken.
I will keep Darcy safe.
Even if it means giving up on my dreams.
Even if it means giving up my life.

About the Author:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Regnery started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract and Katy’s first novel was published in September 2013.

Twenty-five books later, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled, New York Times and USA Today Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; and several other standalone novels and novellas.

Katy’s first modern fairytale romance, The Vixen and the Vet, was nominated for a RITA® in 2015 and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for romance. Katy’s boxed set, The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the USA Today bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas story, Marrying Mr. English, appeared on the list a week later. In May 2016, Katy’s Blueberry Lane collection, The Winslow Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1-4, became a New York Times E-book bestseller.

In 2016, Katy signed a print-only agreement with Spencerhill Press. As a result, her Blueberry Lane paperback books will now be distributed to brick and mortar bookstores all over the United States.

Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.

Kallell knows it is his duty to stop them, but he also wants to enjoy his favorite holiday, Genzebe. Kallell might even summon the bravery to confess his love for the shy and serious Esten Lazzaro—his second in command.

From Kerry Adrienne and Lia Davis: FIRST CONTACT ~ Fugitive Tristan Hawthorne escapes imprisonment only to crash-land on an unidentified, uncharted planet where he faces an alien who stirs passions he thought were long buried.

Under the starry, moonlit sky of the holiday Jainfest, the men learn to overcome their feelings of fear and distrust, and wind up finding out they aren’t so different after all.

#Paranormal #ReleaseBlitz – The Dead Come Calling (The Wraith Files, #2) by CC Woods

I’m Zoe Thorne and I speak to the dead. Unfortunately, dead isn’t always synonymous with good-natured. In fact, most of the spirits I meet have dirty minds and a tendency to create mischief and mayhem.


For the past two months, I’ve been traveling with the cast of The Wraith Files, a paranormal investigation web show. Stony and Blaine are like the perverted, annoying brothers I never had. Our boss, Malachi Flemming, well, he makes my heart beat faster and my hormones dance.

During a break from filming, I’ve returned home to my resident ghost, Teri, an exotic dancer who died thirty years ago. I’m on a mission to find the man who murdered her and see that justice is served.

Preoccupied with my search for a killer, I’m unaware that something dark and twisted lies in wait for me. Not one, but two faceless entities intent on terrorizing me before moving in for the kill.

With unseen enemies shadowing my every move, it’s time to discover how deep my abilities run. I need every bit of power I possess…or I’ll be taking my place among the dead.

writers-on-the-river-attendingauthor-2017

Enchanted By The Earl (Fabled Love Book 1)

synopsis

Will Rose and Hunter overcome their differences and embrace true love?

Rose Woodcourt, a poor seamstress, is too proud to accept help, even when her home and freedom are threatened by the nefarious Mr. Wolfe. Especially not from Hunter Thorne, a titled gentleman far above her station. Earls only court common misses for one reason, and Rose has no interest in being a wealthy man’s mistress–however handsome and charming he may be.

Hunter is an honorable man; he refuses to turn his back on the spirited beauty regardless of how hard she pushes him away. As Mr. Wolfe’s threats evolve into actions Rose has little choice but to turn to Hunter.

Can the pair put an end to Wolfe’s nefarious deeds before Rose loses everything she holds dear, including her freedom?

angies review

I grabbed this book off Amazon when it was free on Black Friday.

I am a fan of Amanda so of course I would read a book she has and free is even better.  This story was a short and sweet story about a sassy but broke seamstress names Rose.  She is caught in the sights of a bad man named DeWolfe.  DeWolfe will do anything including murder to get what he wants annnnnd he wants Rose.  So he does anything and everything to force her hand in marriage.

Enter our Prince…hello this is a story kinda like Little Red Riding Hood!!…..anyway he stumbles into the shop and is enchanted by Rose.  He cant do anything because ….well he is a titled Lord annnnd her not so much.

When Hunter gets further involved in Rose’s family drama he is finding himself even more attracted and even *Gasp* steals  kiss….naughty naughty.

Wolfe keeps up and soon he pushes Rose into Hunters house *GASP* and his heart even more.  The Wolfe is scheming and Hunter will stop at nothing to keep his lady love…..errrr….his house guest safe.

I’ve dreamed of writing romance novels since I was little. After having baby #4, who may or may not have been fathered by Christian Grey, I decided it was time to pursue my dreams.

I love music and believe that books and music can’t exist without the other. My goal is for you to read more than a good book, but for you to have an experience!

I’m a lover of all things books, a hopeless romantic, and have always had a passion for writing. Between being a sappy romantic, my love of an HEA, my crazy imagination, and ok, let’s be real, my dirty mind, I fell easily into writing romance.

I’m married to my very own book boyfriend, an alpha male with a sexy, sweet side. He is the best inspiration, my biggest supporter, and the love of my life. He is also incredibly patient and understanding about the fact that he has to fight the voices in my head for my attention.

I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them!

Game Changer by Ryan Michele

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Holy crap!!  That was a whole lotta naughty reading!!  Ryan you certainly know how to put A LOT into a short novella.

Essentially this story is about Jess and Sanders.  Sanders is Jess’s brothers best friend.  She has loved him for affair her entire life.  One night she gets the courage to approach him to see if he SEES her as Jess and not the little sister.

Sanders is shocked when Jess comes on this him at the bar.  This is his dream come true!!  He has loved her for a while now and even her brother knew.  What happens in the novel is a lot of naughty, sexy times so don’t say you weren’t warned!!

about the author

I’m a mom and a wife who works full time. I have a huge obsession with collecting paperbacks and reading. Becoming an author, wasn’t exactly what I set out to do, it just happened. I needed something to help me get rid of the feeling of being ‘just a mom’ or ‘just a wife’ that was consuming me and writing became that outlet. My book(s) cover some tough issues which are hard for some readers to digest. I am grateful for every single one of you who read my books.

When Luke swipes right on her Shifter profile, Jasmine is shocked. Could this be the start of something more?

But Power Shift is out for blood. They hate any interspecies dating, and will stop at nothing to keep the shifter lines pure. When they attack, can Jasmine and Luke protect each other? Can their newfound love survive?

angies review

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

I am loving this new to me author and her fun series.  Since I am a HUGE Shifter fan and I jumped at the chance to read her books.

This book is about Theo’s sister, Jazmine, who is in total and complete love with his best friend Luke.  Luke is wolf in a different pack.  The two men have no issues on inter species mingling but Power Shift certainly does!!

One night Luke gives the Shifter Dating app a try for his buddy Max.  He isn’t really looking for a hook up because the woman who owes his heart is on the “off limits” list.  When Jas shows up at the bar and flirts with him, his wolf goes crazy!!  When the shifter app matches them, they both go in to freak out mode.  Can they BE true mates for each other annnnd will Theo allow it?

So while the two are dealing with possibly being together they are attacked by that group of shifters who are not fans of intermingling.  Luke and Jas are then forced to defend their relationship against the shifters and Theo!!

I liked the book and can’t wait for more in the series!

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

SO I took this book totally thinking it was a historical romance but much to my shock it’s not..LOL.  But that is totally ok because I loved the sci-fi edge of the novel when I realized it was contemporary.

The story begins with Regina ending her mistake of a marriage to Trenton.  She knew they shouldn’t have ever gotten married and her heart with his brother BUT she didn’t thin Bradford was the settle down kind of guy.

The “rake” in the title is Bradford who has a thing for his sassy and feisty sister-in-law Regina…yes folks his sister-in-law.  He is none too thrilled when she pops into his life but is keeping secrets.

Regina and Bradford have great banter and they are both dancing around the emotions they have for the other.  They both want the other but as scared to admit it out loud for fear of being rejected.

The sci-fi of the story is a woman who needs Regina to help her get a message across to someone.  That all plays into the story of Trenton and his journey, Regina and Bradford’s explosive relationship and the plot twist of the story.

The story is a quick read for someone looking for a different read for a rainy day like I am having today……ENJOY

about the author

Growing up she was the only girl out of six children. She is a single mother of two teenage boys; there is never a dull moment in her life. Reading books is her favorite hobby. While she loves all genres she focuses most of her writing on historical and contemporary romance.

There are always stories inside her head; she just never thought she could make them come to life. That creativity has finally found an outlet.

AHHHH  This book!!!  I Loved Loved Loved it.  Matt was so alpha but knew when he and to tuck that guy away before his mom or love would kick his butt!!  Bren was riot to read about.  Her undercover work was great and showed her true nature to care for someone and want the best for them even if they had no clue what was going on.

So Matt and Bren has some chemistry but Matt kept hiding because of the news his doctor gave him.  Instead of going after what he wants, he hides.  When a brief and chance encounter with Bren at the family’s favorite restaurant forces Matt, Bren and Momma to have lunch together…well match maker momma makes sure that the two see what they could have.

I enjoyed the stubborn of both characters but how when they loved, how they loved passionately.  I abso love the way these authors make family a big very important theme in their novels.  The family members may be side characters but they are definitely there for a reason.

I could so read another book for Matt and Bren because the news that was delivered at the end of the book would be some fun reading!!!
