City of the Fallen ~ COVER REVEAL

City of the Fallen By: Diana Bocco

Dark Tides #1

Blurb

Five years ago, vampires came out of hiding and took over the world. It was meant to be a quick enslavement but it turned into a bloody battle that brought humanity to the brink of extinction.

Isabelle Bryant is one of the “lucky” survivors, now living in hiding, scavenging for food through deserted towns. 

And she’s tired of it. 

So she’s devised a plan: find the king of the vampires and drive a stake through his heart.

Except that wickedly sensual king Marcus is nothing like the monster she expected. And while landing on his bed was part of the plan all along, discovering that he might hold the key to humanity’s survival certainly wasn’t. The catch? Saving humanity also means ensuring vampire survival. It means giving up hope for a return to a human-ruled world. 

As sparks fly and hate becomes heat, Isabelle must pick a side -- before the darkness devours them all.

COVER REVEAL

** Publication Date: JUNE 20th, 2013 ** 

WHATCHA READING?

Today I want to know what book has you in it's grips. 

I have three books staring at me right now...



Book 1 - I have already started reading this and I am enjoying it. Kimberly Dean is a new to me author and I can tell you already I will be reading more from her.

Private Dancer by Kimberly Dean 

Torn between two worlds, Alicia struggles to find a way to walk with her faith, but still dance with sin. When Alicia gets caught in the conflict between her father’s church and the Satin Club owners Bas and Remy, she is the only person willing to act as a mediator. Alicia is intrigued by the high class gentleman’s club and its two sexy proprietors. She tries to stay impartial, but the sensuality of erotic dancing pulls at her, begging her to indulge. Bas and Remy are more than happy to satisfy her curiosities and secret desires. Both offer dark temptations she can’t resist and the provocative dancing and passion awaken something long repressed. For the first time, the preacher’s daughter feels like her own person – yet at her core, she’s still a good girl. As the tension between the warring parties reaches fever pitch, 
she struggles to find what is right for her.





Book 2 - Who am I - SAM's Story! I'm so excited for this book I could SCREAM!!!!!
BUT - I'm so excited about it I'm afraid to read it. You know how when you just have some much want, need, and mmmmmm for a book. Yeah that's where I am for this one and I just don't want to be disappointed - Oh don't get me wrong I have never been disappointed in a Cherise Sinclair story I would be disappointed because it would be over!!* SOB*

So I think I am going to savor it and wait til I can lock myself away for an entire day and enjoy every last word of it uninterrupted.

This Is Who I Am by Cherise Sinclair

Genre: BDSM & Fetish, Contemporary

Series: Masters of the Shadowlands;
Previous Book: To Command and Collar

When trying to save a woman from slavers, Sam screwed up. Royally. Now Linda wants nothing to do with him. Or with BDSM. She won't even admit she's a masochist. As a dominant and sadist, he can give her what she needs, and when an opportunity arises, he slips into her life, intending to make amends. She's everything he knew she would be...except for her bullheaded determination to be 'normal'.

Now the horrible time is past, Linda just wants to return to her small conservative town, pick up her quiet life, and be normal. But how can someone who likes pain be 'normal'? To her dismay, when someone spray-paints her home with obscenities, Sam shows up to rescue her. Again. Doesn't he understand that the last thing she needs in her life is a sadist? He's amused by her objections. But his dry sense of humor doesn't disguise that he's tough as nails and dominant and stubborn. He's not going to let her drive him off this time. All too soon, she realizes she wants him to stay.

When he takes her to the Shadowlands, she finds a new home...until she hears a voice from out of her nightmares.

Note: This book contains strong but consensual BDSM elements that may be uncomfortable for some readers.


Book 3 -  A super top secret beta read that I will be sharing very soon! 


So what are you reading? I want to know! Do you have any suggestions on what to read next? Anything that came out this week that is a "MUST READ"? Tell us we want to know!

PSSSTTTT....

I have already read this but think you need to know about it!
Jess Dee has a fabulous new release out that is a "MUST READ" - humor, heat, relatable characters, and a love story that you root for.

More Than Friends by Jess Dee

He was her best friend until he became her fantasy.

Lucy Lawson's got it bad. Bad as in stunned speechless by the situation she's in, by the feelings sitting on her chest, ready to explode. She's in love with her best friend.

Problem is, telling Sebastian Blackford could destroy the best thing in her life, but the longer she keeps her feelings under wraps, the stronger the need to spill her secret.

The last thing Seb suspects is that his best mate is madly, wildly in love with him, or that he's the star of her seriously dirty fantasies. Worse, he's just started seeing someone he'd like to see again and Lucy knows it.

So why does her confession hit him like a runaway train? And why can't he get her explicit description of her fantasies out of his mind? They've never been more than friends, but now that he knows how Lucy feels, everything is out of whack.

Seb figures it's up to him to get their relationship back on track. He'll do it too, just as soon as he establishes which track is the right one.

Warning: After reading this, you may just be tempted to jump your best friend. It's recommended you keep your partner on speed dial or a toy with fresh batteries on standby.

Have you been touched by the Beauty of Skye Warren? ~ Book Blast

Today I very happy to be participating in a Super Book Blast Tour for Beauty Touched the Beast and Beneath the Beauty by Skye Warren, Contemporary Erotic Romances. 

Skye Warren is an amazing author and once again has floored me by her way with words, characters, and story line. I'm a sucker for fairytales re-told but nothing prepares you for the way Skye Warren retells it.

Erin cleans Mr. Morris’s house twice a week, soaking up every moment with the reclusive ex-soldier she secretly loves. Blake Morris knows he’s scarred both inside and out and is no good for the beautiful young woman who cleans his house to pay for college. But when Erin walks in on Blake touching himself and moaning her name, all bets are off.

Beauty Touched the Beast is a short erotic story of lovers finding refuge with each other. Not for those under 18 years of age or those uncomfortable with the subject matter.

In the long anticipated sequel to Amazon Erotica Bestseller Beauty Touched the Beast, Erin and Blake explore their new intimacy and encounter old enemies.

When Blake receives an offer to return to his alma mater as associate professor, he knows this is his chance to reenter the world—and to be worthy of the woman he loves. Erin wants this chance for him to heal… even if it means leaving her behind.

Beneath the Beauty is an erotic story told in serial format. Don’t miss the sexy initial installment, Beauty Touched the Beast, available now.

Excerpt ~ 

Erin woke up in slow degrees. Awareness tugged at her like a gentle tide. Arousal lapped gently at her skin. She had been in a deep slumber, both sated and sore, but she came alive again under his touch.

Blake. Sighing, she might have said his name aloud. Or maybe just in her mind. They were attuned now, so soon after sex, after being wrapped up in each other, cocooned in sleep. Past the point of discussions, negotiations, they’d been stripped to the core. Him, her, and the pleasure they could invoke together.

Calloused fingers roamed over her hips and lower, lower, to where her curls were still damp from their earlier sex. She peeked her eye open at the windows. A faint eerie light glowed against the curtains, heralding late twilight, the dead of night. He was insatiable really. Last night, then now. Then they’d probably do it again in the morning most likely. She loved it.

When his fingers slipped inside the wetness pooling between her legs, she moaned.

“Shh,” he murmured. “I didn’t mean to wake you.”

Liar. A lazy smile curled her lips. “Is that right?”

He found her clit and pinched. His breath was hot at the back of her neck, his erection pressing urgently against her back. “But now that you’re up…”

“You have plans for me.” Delicious plans. They always were.

“You don’t have to do a thing,” he murmured, rolling her onto her back. He nuzzled his way between the valley of her breasts, across her belly and settled in between her legs. Her knees splayed wide, her whole body spread open to him, encouraged by anticipation and the laxity of sleep. 

 She’d been given oral sex before, but never by someone as dedicated as Blake. He enjoyed himself there almost as much as he enjoyed regular sex—maybe more. He could make her come endless times, until she was throbbing and restless, until she had to beg him to come inside her.

God, she loved it.

Dangerous Submission Lori Toland Blog Tour -Interview and Contest

I'm a lover of covers and Dangerous Submission is a beautiful cover. How much say do you have on your covers? Who is the artist.

The artist for Dangerous Submission is the very talented April Martinez. At Loose Id, we get a lot of say in our covers but I prefer to let the cover artist have complete control over the cover. All I ask is for them to give me hot, naked and very sexy men.

How did you come up with the title?

Well I already had a series title at that point, since Dangerous Submission is book two in the Dangerous Affairs series. So I took the first word from the series title and matched it with a word that described the book. It fit perfectly! 

What books have most influenced your life? What are you currently reading?

I loved The Vampire Diaries. Damon Salvatore had to be one of the best villains I’ve ever read. I haven’t read the more recent books but I’m thinking I will soon. 

I’m currently reading Lord of the Forest by the absolutely fabulous Kay Berrisford. OMG. I just love her writing, it’s simply gorgeous!

Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?

I never stop learning. Every book is a learning experience for me. Sometimes it takes a couple books for me to fully comprehend how to apply some of the knowledge my editor gives me but I get there eventually!

What was the hardest part of writing your book?

Definitely the end. I wanted there to be this happy transition into their life in England and show them together, but I couldn’t get it right. My editor helped me out by discussing some of my options, letting me bounce ideas back and forth until I had just what I wanted. The ending in there now was very much what I envisioned.

What are your current projects?

Of course, the next book in the Dangerous Affairs series. I swear there is a series arc and yes, Stefan (one of the minor characters from Dangerous Submission) is involved. 

Also I have a whole load of projects on my plate, including another series I can’t wait to start but I’m still world building on that one. 

Thanks for having me by!

Dangerous Submission

by Lori Toland

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

British Agent Drake Steele never thought when he was hired on at the Serious Organised Crime Agency that his job would involve spanking a co-worker. But when the colleague is Lord Robbie Covington, the sexy red-headed computer hacker for SOCA and MI-6, Drake can't agree fast enough to pop Robbie's cherry and pull him into the sensual world of BDSM.

Now they are caught up in a web of lies as they pose as members of the jet-setting crowd. Drake and Robbie have to race against the clock to stop a weapons haul that could threaten the safety of all Europe. As their covers begin to fade and danger is closing in, protecting Robbie is Drake’s most important task, but neither man is ready for the moment when their hearts are put on the line.
