I seem to have taken the plunge of making the move...<br />
I have to say that the move kinda scary...<br />
But All I Want and More Books, Smutty Hussy has moved to Wordpress....<br />
My blogger will be available with a post that will redirect you here...</div>

any Bloglovin, Feedly, Feedburner links... Again, I think I have done it correctly...<br />

Max Frazier may be a stunningly handsome international rock star, but he has
other hidden talents from his past. Talents the authorities want him to use.
Talents Max thought of as one hit wonders and wanted to keep in his past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
His smokin' hot employer, Ashleigh Thomas, is unaware of his past with the
S.A.S. Recently widowed, she yearns to bring the entertainment agency she and
her late husband owned out of ruins, with Max's help. Together they embark on a
once in a lifetime deal for Max.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
Will their mutual attraction for the other turn to fire, or will it burn to
ashes once Ashleigh learns the truth? As she and Max find themselves helping
the authorities bring in a figure from Ashleigh's past…will love trump evil?</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

and decided I would give Max a further taste of his own medicine, going back to
find him. He was in the kitchen, gathering what he needed to prepare our meal.
I quietly entered. I want some shock value on my side.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Max, sweetheart, I thought you
might want to see the rest of what you got me before I changed out of them.” I
strutted closer to him as he turned around, leaving him no room to not see me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Taking all of me in with his
chocolate eyes, he twirled me around and then back to face him. As he wrapped
his arms around me and fervidly began kissing me, his hands began to wander
down to my behind. He pulled the thong to one side and made his way to my wet
sex.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Hmmm, I can see I need to
purchase you more of these as you’ve soaked this one.” He pushed me gently
against the counter top, facing away from him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">skill
that has served her well throughout her diversified professional career that
encompassed public relations in and around the entertainment industry,
photography, editing, and special event planning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">An avid reader of history, biographies, and romance it's only natural
that she prefers to write romances with
characters said to be "so authentic they spring forth from the page and
shake the reader's hand." No stranger to life threatening situations Jamie
pulls from life experience when she creates her stories. Such as when her
family had to escape Chile when she was a teen because of the unstable
political climate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Finding herself unable to walk
great distances as a result of several foot surgeries, she started writing
once again as a way to pass the time. With the completion of her first novel
Perpetual Love she dove head first into the eBook and digital publishing
paradigm. She couldn't be happier with her decision to grab the publishing
industry by the shoulders and force it to pay attention to all she has to
offer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #535353;">Lachesis is a Fate, an ancient Greek
goddess in whose hands our destinies are unraveled. When she’s not weaving
fortune, she does what she wants when she wants. That all changes when she runs
into the man she craves but prayed to never see again. And she'll soon discover
the god of terror can really hold a grudge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Phobos is a predator who takes pleasure in terrorizing the world. After
millennia of relentless searching, he finds the Fate who caused him to be cast
down from Olympus. Now he plans to use every bit of his talents on the goddess
to regain his lost heritage without losing his heart in the process. </span><b><span style="color: #262626;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

Let me just say Ms. Rae put an Author's Note
page at the beginning and let say it is worth reading. She made me giggle right
off the bat! I stole this last
paragraph from her page... <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>There is no mythological evidence to support Lachesis
and Phobos hooking up. But, there is also no evidence that they didn‘t. One of
the joys of being an author, I get to ask, what if, and so their story
begins...<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love her sense of adventure, of passion, her sense
for going out of the box! I love how
she just grabbed this story with both hands and wrote it! Ms. Rae is a
delightful author with a wicked sense of humor. Let me tell you more...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although this is a short story, there is nothing short
about this story! And there is nothing missing from this story... Ms. Rae gave
me a story that fueled my imagination and satisfied the inner Greek mythologist
geek in me! She gave me drama, action, suspense and some sexy God loving! Or I
should say some God size hating, lol. This story has it all... Family drama,
relationship issues and the God of all God's - Zeus.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lachesis, Lacey as she is known in our world, is a
Fate.. The Fate that weaves the fates of others. She knows your path before you even know it... However,
she can't see the fates of those closet to her... Or even her own. That kinda
sucks, really, lol. But she loves life to the fullest. And she loves the one
man who could be the death of her... Her heart belongs to the god of terror...
Phobos. The one man, that if he gets his hands on her, would probably kill
her...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Phobos, God of Terror, is a man... I mean, god you
should be very careful of. He has brought men down in battle without the need for a weapon. But in the end, those that face Phobos
in battle know their fate... Death. But his heart wasn't always made of
hatred... No, one woman who captured his heart... Is the same woman that
brought him to his doomed fate... But is there a crack in the wall he built... <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh my gosh, these two together are awesome! Ms. Rae
delivered one hellva good story!
You will feel the lost love, you
will feel the animosity, you will feel the hatred... You will also see true
love in action... You will see evil that<span style="color: #fb0007;"> </span>lurks in the shadows... You will feel the breath of death... But you will
escape with your life in the hands of a man that has vowed revenge to the one woman that could be his salvation..<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #535353;">Anyhoo, my life really isn't
that entertaining. I could make shit up, but then that would be fiction, and
you should buy one of my books for that. So, here's the real scoop on me:
I was raised on a farm in Iowa where I [insert a pretentious grin here]
boasted the small town’s largest (okay, and only) comic book collection. I
still addicted to stories starring characters with <i>kickassitude</i>. I've
did the college thing--both undergraduate (go Panthers!) and graduate (go
Bulldogs!)--before going out into the "real" world and realizing
that it's too much work and too little play. Alas, bills (and college loans)
needed paid, so I joined the hordes of office zombies and made a career out
of disentangling red tape and destroying TPS reports. Like I warned you, not
very exciting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #535353;">But, wait! That's not all. Since
you've stayed with me this far, let me tell you some personal stuff... things
that I <i>love. </i>I love flying airplanes (preferably, the old stuff)
around the countryside. Nothing beats a sunset flight. I'm sure sunrise
flights are just as good, but I've never been awake for one. I fly all around
with my awesomely supportive husband (yup, love him!) and my incredibly
spoiled sixty-pound lap dog (love her, too, even when she wants to go outside
every five minutes while I'm deep into writing mode). What else do I
love? I love to read, I love to write, and I love to hear from readers. <a href="mailto:rachel@rachelaukes.com"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Email me</span></a> (Rachel at

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Shae
Shannon was born in California where she lived until the age of 13. Her
family decided to uproot and move to a small town in Oklahoma. It was
fate, Karma, or coincidence that had put both Shae and her future husband on
the paths of destiny and love. She spotted him in the back of a pickup
truck while cruising town, his hot sexiness capturing her attention and her
heart. One introduction later and she knew that he was her soul mate.
Dustin was also from California, and had grown up only 30 miles from her.
</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">After
marriage, Dustin joined the Army. They spent 9 years in northern New York
and 4 years in Georgia. He served 3 tours overseas, and numerous stateside
training exercises. It was during the long, stressful, lonesome deployments
that Shae found she could escape into imagination and majestically teleport
into juicy books. Her most prized gift came in the form of a kindle, sent from
her husband in Iraq. She quickly filled her digital library, and adds to
it every week.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">They are
blessed with three kids ages 16, 10, and 5. Two dogs, a hamster, and a fish
make for a chaotic crazy daily routine that Shae handles like a pro, and with a
lot of humor.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Needing to
branch out more, Shae picked up her laptop and began to write, allowing her
boisterous imagination to fly. After what seemed like an eternity, she
finally created her first novel that soon became published by Siren Publishing.
She was finally on the path of her dreams of becoming an author.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Shae
currently lives Oklahoma, where the tea is sweet, the grass is green, and
people still say ma’am and thank you. Every summer, they load up the
family and head for the lake for swimming and fishing. There is not a water
park or swimming pool in the world that could ever compare to a rope swing and
a floaty. The only thing that will change is that Shae will be scribbling
and writing as she floats on the water and works on her tan.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

been opening a coffee shop with her best friend Amy. Amy, who has wild and </span>colorful sexual encounters regularly, finds it her duty to change her obsolete
love life. One girls' night out turns Chloe’s ordinary life upside down. When
she runs into the man of her dreams, her libido goes into overdrive. She has
finally found someone that is a hot, mouthwatering, pantie-twisting party of
orgasms wrapped up in a sexy hunk of a man who just happens to be a vampire.
Just when things start to heat up, someone wants to sacrifice her. Freakin’
figures. Gabriel Jacobs has been waiting centuries for his one and only mate.
He must work to capture her heart, while protecting her from an ancient evil
vampire with a self-made Frankenstein army. With his growing need to claim and
protect her, their destiny is on the line. Can this be their beginning of eternity?<br />

Waking
up to the two men who haunted her fantasies had left her unconvinced that she
wasn’t in the deep slumbers of an erotic dream. Now as she stood before them
with her body fully exposed and trembling in anticipation, clarity pushed
against the walls of fog that blanketed her mind. Brandon licked the cotton
square of her underwear, releasing a deep sound resembling a feline growl. Her
body responded tempestuously, thrusting quakes of burning desire through her
veins. She could feel her womb begin to bloom with a mounting release. “I–I
want you both but…” Her voice shook as she tried to put together a coherent
sentence.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
“Shhh,
love. Don’t think. Give yourself over to us and let us do the work. This is
about showing you how we can give you the pleasure you crave and unlock your
deepest, darkest desires. Go sit on the edge of the bed, Giselle.” Brandon’s
soothing words massaged her hesitation and relaxed the uncertainty that had
begun to mount in her mind. The last command rang out in a deep, commanding
tone. She knew that there was no room for argument, and she didn’t want to
argue. Her pussy wept from the domination he projected. She had to concentrate
on moving one foot in front of the other to the crumpled bed where she sat
obediently.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><i><span lang="NL" style="color: #2e2e2e;"> Taken</span></i></b><span lang="NL" style="color: #2e2e2e;"> is a dark
love story set in the 1500’s of Hungary. It’s one that begins with terror and
cruelty. </span><span style="color: #2e2e2e;">Mikhal the Merciless is pure evil, a master vampire who is dark
anti-hero. He will fill you with loathing long before he catches your heart.
The road to love for Alliana and Mikhal is a rocky one; and any roses that bloom,
also pierce with thorns. You may well be wishing for Mikhal’s demise before you
cheer them on to love, but you will cheer them on to love.</span></div>

<span lang="NL" style="color: #2e2e2e;"> Stolen from her
family and very way of life, a young Gypsy woman finds herself trapped among
evil. She is to be kept and bred by the dark lord who has taken her from all
she knew and thrust her into his world of terror. Mikhal is the known and
feared Mikhal the Merciless, a rich and heartless Lord, who has a taste for
blood and cruelty. Many suspect his true origins. Alliana is a poor Gypsy girl,
but her family has much magic. It is rumored that Alliana will bring those
around her great wealth and power when she comes of age. She is their treasured
golden child. </span></div>

<span style="color: #2e2e2e;"> </span><span style="color: #2e2e2e;">When Mikhal
happens upon her one night on his land, he decides he must have her for his
own. With the magical help of Marishka, his sister, he plans to create a son
with the wild Gypsy, one who will help him rule the earth as he lives out his
life of eternity. Will Alliana’s innocence shatter the fierceness of Mikhal’s
heart and drive the cruelty from him, or will he cast her aside once she gives
him what he seeks?</span><br />

<i><span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;">Run! The
one frantic word pounded through Alliana’s head in time with the beating of her
racing heart. She could hear him behind her, closer and closer, Mikhal the
Merciless, he who had no soul. The one she had been warned about over and
over since her clan had moved into the area. The very reason she had been
ordered to stay close to the caravan. One leather clad foot slipped on the
icy grass, making her stumble, arms pin wheeling, but she regained her balance
and raced onward, pursued by the devil himself.</span></i><span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;">The
clouds in the night sky parted, allowing the moon to shine down through the
semi leafless trees, making the ice that clung to their black branches glisten
and light up the night. A freak early storm had coated everything, giving it a
crystallized sheen, turning the world dazzling and wondrous, if not for the
fact that it made the ground beneath her slick and treacherous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;">Her
breath came out in frosty plumes as she ran, her golden hair flying behind her.
Once again her foot slid, the thin soles of her well-worn boots giving her no
traction on the hazardous terrain, but she righted herself, terror giving her
the power to go on.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;">Branches
tore at her hair, pulling the tattered shawl from her shoulders, scratching at
her arms and face. Then, the worst happened. A branch tore the large pocket of
her faded skirt, spilling the apples secreted there. They tripped her up as
they tumbled before her, making her fall to her knees. Her hands skimmed over
the frost-covered grass, and though her fingers tried desperately to find
purchase, she was unable to stop her fall. She landed hard; half-frozen apples
trapped beneath her body, bruising her ribs, a multitude of petticoats twisting
around her legs. Alliana yelped, then shook off the pain, and quickly
managed to right herself, grasping frantically at the branches around her for
stability. She launched herself forward once again, fleeing in a blind panic.
The fall had cost her precious time.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;">Pounding
hooves, gaining ever quicker, rang in her ears, along with her gasps for air
and frantic whimpers of terror. He was going to catch her. He was gaining.
It would only be a matter of time now. Mere seconds and then her life would be
over. Alliana thought again of her maman and her papa and their dire
warning about coming onto the devil’s land. She whispered a fervent plea
for forgiveness, even as she felt herself being lifted off the ground and
pulled onto the horse of the one who had hunted her down.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;">She felt
a rumble of laughter in his chest as he pulled her close. Alliana twisted,
kicking, clawing, trying to scratch at his eyes, fighting for her life, but her
strength was no match for his. He stopped his mount, wrapping up her struggling
body and flailing limbs, with arms like bands of iron, crushing her to his
chest as he stared down into her terrified eyes, the moon illuminating his
features, thick curly hair, sharp cheek bones, sensuous lips, and harsh dark
eyes, gazing at her with amusement and contempt.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 16.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;">She
screamed and fought, turning from his piercing gaze, refusing to look the devil
in the eye. He was one with the dark magicks, a vampire, one without a soul.
Alliana had heard the elders talking. His serfs were terrified of
him. Children, even babies, were said to have gone missing, young girls
defiled, blood rituals held in the dead of night, torture and screams from the
castle. Why oh why had she come here? For the apples that now lay scattered in
the wake of her flight? The hunger gnawing at her belly was nothing compared to
the terror filling her soul.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;">“Stop it.
Be still, girl.” He squeezed her face in his hand painfully and forced her to
look into his eyes. “You’re nothing but a Gypsy thief. I could hang you from
that tree this instant.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: #262626;">He said
the words, but his eyes told her he had no intention of doing just that. Though
they were cruel, they appraised her features as he turned her head left, then
right, smiling a sardonic grin of approval. He then raked them down over her
body, staring at her with undisguised lust, eyes glowing, tongue curled behind
his teeth, nostrils flaring as he scented the increase in fear his desire
caused. She was young, not more than sixteen or seventeen, but she knew what a
man did with a woman.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="color: #2e2e2e;">My love of writing began in my
early 30s and has been a passion ever since. I love to read, write, travel
the world, and am a history buff. My genre’s cover Historical Romance,
often with a spicy kinky twist,
suspenseful Paranormal Historical Romances, and collections of BDSM
short stories. My love of history makes its presence in the
books I write. They are often set in centuries past. I am a
lover of art, architecture, and the study of diverse world cultures. I
still reside in the city I grew up in, though have traveled to many
places, and live near my childhood home with the love of my
life, our two spoiled cats, much loved dog, and our gnome, Gerome. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #2e2e2e;">I have been involved in the
BDSM lifestyle for over ten years, and am active in the kink
community. I post a weekly BDSM information piece each Saturday to answer
questions sent in by readers and to educate those who wish to know more about
kink in a factual and straightforward manner. My marriage is a power exchange
relationship, and we practice kink and BDSM activities in a safe and
loving way. What we do involves a deep level of trust and knowledge. It is
important to me to help others by openly sharing what it is we do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Chapter 1<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Kate Roman sauntered
down Telegraph Avenue, the sounds of the constant Berkeley traffic loud in her
ears. The city had banned hovercraft when air quality got so bad people needed
masks to venture outside. The air still made the back of her throat burn, but
at least her eyes didn’t tear up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She pushed her dark
glasses up her nose and wrapped a colorful scarf more tightly around her hair.
Someone was following her. She’d caught a whiff of something … unusual … with
her feline senses half a dozen blocks back. Her perceptions weren’t as sharp in
her human form, but they gave her a definite edge. Who was back there? Try as
she might, she couldn’t identify its scent. She didn’t want to stop and turn
around. So long as her pursuer thought himself invisible, he—or she, or it—wouldn’t
do anything rash. She hoped.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Her heart beat a
little faster. No cause for alarm. Not yet, anyway. She worked as a sex
surrogate, and there had been hundreds of clients over the past several years.
Her hair was unmistakable with its bright red tone and warm, golden streaks.
Clients sometimes trailed after her. Too shy to approach directly, yet drawn to
her because of the best—sometimes the only—sex they’d had in their lives, they
just liked to be close. Even though they had no idea she was a shifter—that
played into the equation too. Humans were attracted to her animal energy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Shy clients were one
thing. The other options were scarier. Humans had made a big push to get rid of
shifters. Because killing them outright would have engendered a great hue and
cry from personal rights groups, they’d been imprisoned in droves. Conditions
were deplorable; many of her kin had died. Others were so ill, they might as
well be dead. Apparently the personal rights groups weren’t into visiting
prisons to check on things. Disgust twisted Kate’s features into an annoyed
scowl.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Appalled by what was
looking a lot like the beginnings of genocide, she’d joined the shifter
underground, a group masterminding escapes for those like her. Of course, the
escapes were only the first step. Once out, shifters almost always needed
medical care. They had to be hidden until their magic was strong enough for
them to shield themselves. Many opted for dramatic plastic surgery to
obliterate any trace of who they’d been when captured.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Kate blew out a tense
breath. She had three post-surgical shifters concealed in the basement of her
home in the Berkeley Hills. A wolf, a mountain lion—like her—and a bear were
sequestered behind a hidden wall panel. She hadn’t expected them to stay quite
so long and her pantry was almost bare. She glanced at her wrist computer and
clicked a few keys. <i>Ration Coupons</i>
flashed on the screen, followed by the numerals one and zero. Shit. If it were
only her, ten coupons wouldn’t buy much more than a day’s worth of food. She
needed to put in an emergency call to the underground once she got to her
office and no one could hear her. They had code words for everything, but
still…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Kate tilted her head
back. Her nose twitched. Whoever was behind her was closer. Not much, but a
little. <i>Should I turn around?</i> She
glanced at the cross street. Another half block and she’d be at her office.
Someone jostled her shoulder. She pulled back, wary of a trap. Kate
strengthened the illusion which softened her lengthened incisors and muted the
sharp angle of her cheekbones and jaw.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Sorry,” a man
muttered and pushed past her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She stared after him
and reached out with a dribble of shifter magic. <i>Whew!</i> She exhaled sharply. Just a human. Definitely not who’d been
following her. Garden-variety cops had genetically-altered enhanced abilities.
They smelled different. Trackers, elite police squads targeting shifters, had
their own unique scent. She pressed her tongue against her teeth, thinking.
What she smelled behind her was … different. Did that mean it wasn’t a cop—or a
Tracker? <i>Not necessarily. He could be
using one of their tricks to mask his spoor.</i> Her throat tightened. She
tried to swallow, but her mouth was dry.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<i>Enough excitement for one morning</i>. Kate lengthened her stride, loped
across the street, taking advantage of an amber light, and took the steps to
her office in a renovated Victorian two at a time. She ran her palm over the
keypad. The electronics hummed and the door clicked open. She ducked inside,
shut the door, and reset the lock.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Annoyance tinged with
fear made her stomach roil. Against her better judgment, she turned and peered
through a frosted glass side panel next to the thick, carved oak door. Eyes
narrowed, she used her feline vision to take a good, hard look at who was walking
down the sidewalk. After a couple minutes of nothing, she chided herself for
being paranoid.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Kate was about to
turn away and get ready for her first client when a man caught her attention.
Boy, did he catch her attention. He was tall, maybe six-foot four, with broad
shoulders and slender hips. He wore form-fitting jeans, a snug knitted dark
blue top, and a brown leather vest. Well-muscled arms and thighs jumped out at
her. Kate’s eyes went to his crotch. <i>Wow.
If he looked like that soft, he’d have a hell of an erection</i>. Waist-length
black hair swirled around him. Dark eyes, set in Native American bone
structure, looked right at her building. It was as if he sensed her looking at
him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
What was he?
Unfortunately, she couldn’t identify much. Wood and glass absorbed most of her
magic. Kate moved away from the window. Heat poured through her. Her nipples
pebbled into hard points. Whoever was out there was the most sexually-charged
man she’d ever come across. Was he the one who’d been following her?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She snorted. Part of
her hoped he’d been tracking her—she itched to jump his bones. In spite of
being turned-on, she felt edgy. He could be a member of the elite Tracker hit
squads targeting shifters. Her underground organization had received intel the
enemy was using more sophisticated strategies to trap them. <i>If they start using sex, we’re done for.</i>
Her lips curled into a wry grin. Shifters loved sex. It was a weakness from
their animal sides.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<i>“No, it’s a strength,”</i> the mountain cat which lived inside her
commented snidely.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<i>“Hold on, sweetie. You’ll get your fix soon enough.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<i>“I don’t want human sex,”</i> her cat complained. <i>“Find a shifter for us.”</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
<i>“Enough of this. I have to get ready for my first client.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Her cat grumbled.
Kate smiled indulgently. She’d dreamed her bond animal like all shifters did
when they hit puberty. The animal had picked her, but she’d sealed the deal by
accepting it. The cat was a part of her, but its own entity as well. That
included having opinions which sometimes diverged from hers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She consulted her
wrist computer. Not much time to spare. Kate walked through her spacious
office. Furnished with late nineteenth century antiques to match the building’s
architecture, it was a homey place with overstuffed floral couches and chairs
and golden oak tables. A small computer desk allowed clients to enter their own
personal data—or as much of it as they were comfortable divulging. Unlike the
world’s oldest profession, men actually needed a doctor’s referral to see her.
Kate liked it that way. She’d never had problems with any of her clients. The
doctors screened them for diseases before sending them, which was another plus,
though not exactly necessary. Virtually all the men who came through her door
were virgins.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
A lush bedroom with a
four-poster bed and an inventive assortment of toys was behind the front
office. Off to one side was a marble inlaid bathroom with a sunken tub with
Jacuzzi jets. Mirrors lined the walls; the gleaming gold fixtures and
green-veined marble glowed invitingly. Water was good for loosening up nervous
clients. Her first task was getting them used to being naked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She ducked into her
private quarters—a small room off the bedroom—dropped her bag in a corner, and
stripped off her street clothes and shoes. Pants were a no-no in her business.
She needed skirts in case a client got hard and she needed to move fast. Most
of the men who visited her had erectile issues. Either they came too fast, or
they couldn’t get erections at all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She pulled a teal
jersey top out of a drawer and tugged it over her head. The soft folds of the
fabric molded to her body. No bra. Looking at the curves of her breasts was
good for clients. She traced the outline of a nipple through the silky fabric.
It stiffened instantly. A vision of the man in the street slammed against her.
Her nether regions flooded. Kate grinned. She felt sorry for her first client.
She’d probably attack him before he even got his clothes off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She stepped into a
black skirt with an elastic waist and grabbed a hairbrush. Red-gold curls
cascaded nearly to her waist. A smattering of shiny lip gloss and she walked
into the bathroom to check her appearance. Perfect. She looked about
twenty-five. Good for when she needed to play the innocent in seduction
charades. She blew a kiss at the glass. Not bad for a three-hundred-year-old
shifter. <i>Three hundred six,</i> her inner
voice corrected. Kate laughed. She wasn’t exactly immortal, but she’d live for
hundreds more years before her face betrayed any sign of age.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
The front bell
chimed. Hector was right on time. Bare feet pattering over the thick, Oriental
carpet in her front office, Kate strode to the door and peered through the
safety viewer. She rolled her eyes. He’d brought her flowers. She waved her
palm over the electronically controlled lock; the latch clicked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Hi, gorgeous.”
Hector stepped inside and waited for her to lock up before handing her a
bouquet of expensive-looking hothouse blossoms. She laid them on a side table.
They’d keep for an hour out of water.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Hi there yourself,
handsome.” Kate smiled at him. She liked Hector. At forty-five, he’d decided it
was time to find a wife. Problem was, he’d spent his entire life locked away
behind a computer screen and had no idea how to even say good morning to a
woman, let alone ask for a date. All his sexual experiences had been with his
hand until he’d tried to hire a hooker and failed miserably. He’d come while
she was unzipping his pants and hadn’t been able to get hard again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
He shook light brown
hair back from a high brow. His hazel eyes shone with pleasure. He wasn’t bad
looking, but he needed to get outside. His skin was pasty white and his body
soft. She’d suggested he join a gym and walk at least half an hour out-of-doors
every day. She wondered if he’d taken her up on either suggestion.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
His hand snaked out
and curved around one of her breasts. She glanced between his legs, pleased to
see the swell of an erection. Good. He wouldn’t make her work very hard today.
Kate cocked her head to one side and pressed her breast into his hand.
“Business first. That will be five hundred credits.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
His eyes widened.
“You’re giving me a break today.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Not really.” Her
hand cupped his hard-on. “Looks like you won’t need much from me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Color stained his
fair cheeks. “Funny thing. It got hard when I was on the bus. Just thinking
about you…” His voice trailed off.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“That’s the way it’s
supposed to work. Pay up, so we can get those clothes off you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
He went to the
computer, bent over, brought up his account, and transferred money into hers.
The printer whirred. She grabbed the piece of paper, tore off one end, signed
it, and handed it to him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
He came around behind
her. His hands closed over her breasts and he nibbled her neck. She leaned
against him for a moment, then led him to the bedroom and closed the door. One
of the best things about being a surrogate was she trained her clients to do
exactly what she liked, while cautioning them that part of lovemaking was
communication. What she liked might not work for a different woman.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She turned toward
him. His shirt and sports coat lay on a chair and he’d stepped out of leather
loafers. His fingers were busy with the fastenings of his slacks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Pretty good
progress,” she said, flashing him a warm smile. “First time you came here, it
took me most of the session to get your shirt off.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
He shrugged. His
pants pooled around his ankles. He stepped out of them and shoved his boxers
down his hips. Kate felt her eyes widen. He was more than ready. Not just hard,
but a drop of semen glistened in the center of his glans. “Do you want to undress
me?” she asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
He closed the
distance between them, put his arms around her and kissed her. She kissed him
back, aware of her own arousal. Hector didn’t have much to do with that. But
he’d give her something to think about other than the wonderfully seductive
stranger she’d seen through her window. She pressed her breasts against him and
thrust her hips against his hard-on.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Hector broke their
kiss. He slid his fingers under her top and tugged it gently over her head. His
gaze locked on her breasts before he took them in his hands. He twirled her
nipples just the way she’d shown him. He’d been surprised when she told him
women could come just from that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She curved a hand
around his erection. It bucked in her hand. He hadn’t had problems with
premature ejaculation the last few visits, but he seemed more excited today.
“Do you need to be inside me?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
His breath came fast.
“Could I? All I’ve thought about is—” His cock jumped in her hand again. Fluid
leaked from it. She rubbed it around the velvety top with a gentle fingertip.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Kate backed toward
the bed. “How do you want me?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
His gaze sought hers.
“Could you be on top? I’ve done like you said, you know, playing with myself
and fantasizing.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Sure.” She waited
for him to lie down. Kate got a condom out of the night table drawer, opened
the wrapper, and rolled it onto him. She straddled him and lowered herself onto
his shaft. He groaned. She took care to keep her hips still. “Tell me when it’s
okay to move. Open your eyes. Look at me. Think about breathing. You can
control this.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
The line of his jaw
clenched, and then softened. He cupped her pussy in an outstretched hand.
Tentative at first, he rubbed her clit when she pushed into his hand. Her
muscles closed around his cock. He rubbed harder. She laid a hand over his to
show him the rhythm she needed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Is it okay if I make
you come this way?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“More than okay.”
With her fingers atop his to guide him, he rubbed harder and faster over her
sensitive tissue. She knew she was moving around his erection, but hoped he had
enough to think about besides coming that he’d be able to control himself. “I’m
going to take my hand away. Now you do the same thing.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Like this.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Um-hum.” She felt a
familiar tightness, tried to hold back so she could savor things, but it was
too late. She came, shoving her pussy against his hand. A vision of the
gorgeous man she’d seen in the street danced behind her closed lids. Deep in
her mind, the cat purred, <i>“Yesssss. Find
that one for us.”</i> Kate shushed it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Hector had learned
well. He kept moving his fingers until her hips quieted. “Wow. That was
amazing,” he crowed. “I got to watch you come. Your nipples got hard and you’re
all rosy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“And you didn’t come
yourself. Even better.” She laughed. “Is it okay if I move now?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Will I be able to
make you come again?” She heard a hint of masculine pride in the question.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“No question.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
He held out his arms.
“I want to feel your breasts against me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She lowered her torso
until it touched his. “Very good. Asking for what you want is important. Women
aren’t mind readers. Put your hands on my hips. Move me the way you want to be
fucked.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“What about you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“I had a turn.
Besides, you can always touch me or lick me.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“You haven’t taught
me about licking.” His voice had a catch in it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Well, if we don’t
get there today, there’s always next time.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
His hands gripped her
hips. She let him control the movement, pleased it took him several minutes to
come. Once his cock was through spasming inside her, she moved off his body and
went to get a warm, wet cloth from the bathroom. By the time she returned, he
had the condom off. She held out her hand. “I’ll take it. Here.” She handed him
the cloth, dropped the condom into a waste can, and slid into a robe.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
A disappointed look
washed across his face. “Is our time up?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“I’m afraid so.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“How many more visits
do I have?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Not sure. Just a
minute, I’ll look.” Kate padded into the outer office and clicked a few keys on
the desktop computer. She was also buying a little time. Clients frequently got
too attached, which was why she never told them up front how many visits had
been authorized. Sometimes, even if they had several more sessions, she’d
hedge, call their MD, and cut them off. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
The truth was, Hector
didn’t really need her anymore. Seven visits had cured both his impotence and his
problems with premature ejaculation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Good thing you
asked.” She breezed back into the bedroom, smiling brightly. “We’ve run through
your sessions.” He looked so crestfallen, she went to the bed, sat on the edge,
and took his hands in hers. “Hector. You got what you needed here. You can make
love with anyone now. You don’t need me anymore.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“But I thought—I
mean, I hoped…” Color crept up his chest to his neck and face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Aw, honey. Everyone
falls in love with me. It’s natural. I’m the first woman you had sex with.” She
patted his hand. “I guarantee you I won’t be the last. Try asking that cute
brunette you told me about out for coffee.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Can I come back if I
get into problems?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Sure. I’ll square it
with your doctor.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Really?” He smiled.
Hector was decidedly handsome when he did that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
“Really.” She touched
a finger to his chin. “You’re quite the hunk when you smile. Try to remember to
do it more often.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
He dressed quickly
and she ushered him out the door. “Thanks for the flowers. And best of luck,
not that you’ll need any. You’ll make some woman very happy.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
She closed the door,
locked it, and looked at the time. She needed to call the underground about
groceries, change the bed, and take a shower. It would be tight, but she was
pretty sure she could work everything in before Todd showed up in half an hour.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; margin-bottom: 10.0pt;">
Kate glanced at the
calendar in her wrist computer. Good. Only the two clients today. Worries about
her three houseguests ate at her. It was better when she was home. The shifters
in her basement were vulnerable by themselves<o:p></o:p></div>

bent. Avocations include mountaineering, skiing, wilderness
photography and, of course, writing. A lifelong aficionado of the
unusual, she began writing speculative fiction a few years ago. Since then her
short fiction has appeared in a number of webzines and anthologies. Several
paranormal romance novellas are available in e-format. Three <span style="background-color: white;">novels, </span><i>Psyche’s
Prophecy, </i><i>Psyche’s Search,</i><span style="background-color: white;"> and </span><i>Psyche's Promise</i><span style="background-color: white;"> are small press
publications available in e-format and paperback. Look for two more urban
fantasy novels coming this summer and fall: </span><i>Fortune’s

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white;">
Ann Gimpel is a mountaineer at heart. Recently retired from
a long career as a psychologist, she remembers many hours at her desk
where her body may have been stuck inside four walls, but her soul was planning
yet one more trip to the backcountry. Around the turn of the last century (that
would be 2000, <i>not</i> 1900!), she managed to finagle moving to
the Eastern Sierra, a mecca for those in love with the mountains. It was during
long backcountry treks that Ann’s writing evolved. Unlike some who see the
backcountry as an excuse to drag friends and relatives along, Ann prefers her solitude.
Stories always ran around in her head on those journeys, sometimes as a hedge
against abject terror when challenging conditions made her fear for her life,
sometimes for company. Eventually, she returned from a trip and sat down at the
computer. Three months later, a five hundred page novel emerged. Oh, it wasn’t
very good, but it was a beginning. And, she learned a lot between writing that
novel and its sequel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white;">
Around that time, a friend of hers suggested she try her
hand at short stories. It didn’t take long before that first story found its
way into print and they’ve been accepted pretty regularly since then. One of
Ann’s passions has always been ecology, so her tales often have a green twist.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white;">
In addition to writing, Ann enjoys wilderness photography. She
lugs pounds of camera equipment in her backpack to distant locales every year.
A standing joke is that over ten percent of her pack weight is camera gear
which means someone else has to carry the food! That someone is her husband.
They’ve shared a life together for a very long time. Children, grandchildren
and three wolf hybrids round out their family.<o:p></o:p></div>

Danica Avet was born and raised in the wilds of South Louisiana (that would be somewhere around Houma) where mosquitoes are big enough to carry off small children and there are only two seasons: hot and hotter. With a BA in History, she figured there were enough fry cooks in the world and decided to try her hand at writing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Danica is the lucky pet of a compulsively needy dog and two cats. The pitter-patter of little feet has been known to make her break out into a cold sweat.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Writing is how she gives the voices in her head a way out. When she isn’t writing, working or contemplating the complexities of the universe, she spends time gathering inspiration from her insane family, reads far more than any sane person would want to, and watches hot burly men chase an oblong ball all over a field.</div>

She’s been burned by a lion before and has no intention of playing the fool twice. But with one scorching glance the mating frenzy ignites and passion trumps reason. An intense first encounter levels Daisy’s reservations—and most of her living room. And she’s not so sure she minds.</div>
<div>
Ram Reinhardt has burned through and brushed aside just about every adrenaline-inducing thrill life’s thrown at him. But Daisy sets the gold standard for a premium rush. Her combative personality should turn him off, but every time they fight they end up in bed, or on the floor, or against a wall—and the sex is always more combustible than the time before. He’s not about to give that up. Ever.</div>

Ram froze for a split second, too shocked to do anything but feel Daisy’s soft lips whispering over his in a sweet, delicate kiss. He hadn’t meant to chase her, but the minute she’d begun moving so quickly and silently the cat in him couldn’t resist going after her. He’d only followed her scent here to make sure she was okay, but plastered against her warm body Ram knew he’d only been lying to himself.</div>
<div>
He hadn’t seen her since the scene at her mom’s salon and guilt had flogged him all night and day. Ram made it a point to study people, both human and shifter, and Daisy’s attitude toward him pointed to some deep pain. He wanted her to confide in him, but that would never happen if she avoided him. As she’d been doing before he tackled her.</div>
<div>
The lion purred, glorying in the feel of his mate beneath him. He should have gotten up, explained he’d only wanted to talk to her, but he couldn’t.</div>
<div>
He wanted to be right here. His cock nudging against her slick folds, her limbs wrapped around him as if she never wanted to let go. It was more than he’d hoped for when he’d set out to find her and he’d damn well appreciate it.</div>

Fashion designer and bear shifter Kitty Chambers thought fifteen years was enough time to get over her first love, Monk Badeaux, but when she sees the sexy cougar again, her mating instincts return and it’s all she can do to keep her paws off him. Despite her wariness, Monk unearths a part of her sexuality she’d never known existed, using it ruthlessly to win her back. Monk is hazardous to her well-being and her heart, but Kitty isn’t sure she stands a chance against all this heat.</div>
<div>
If you love something, set it free. Monk Badeaux did that and suffered the consequences. When Kitty comes home, he falls head over heels in love with the independent, no-panty-wearing woman his childhood sweetheart has become. And she hates him. Luck is on his side when he discovers his mate has a streak of exhibitionism he’s more than happy to exploit if it’ll bring them closer. Alleys, school gyms, cars…no location is sacred when a cougar is out to win his mate.</div>

Shutting off the engine, Monk glanced over at Kitty to see her staring out the windshield as if she couldn’t believe her eyes. With her distracted, he took a minute to take in the very short shorts she wore, the little tank top that didn’t do much to cover her breasts, and the silk robe. Oh, and he couldn’t forget the sneakers. He grinned at his woman’s feet.</div>
<div>
“What are you grinning at?” she asked in a playful tone that made his cock stand at attention.</div>
<div>
He unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned back, spreading his arm over the back of her seat. “Your feet. You stopped to put shoes on. Not slippers, but shoes.”</div>
<div>
She rolled her eyes. “Well, when <i>Tante</i> Claudette woke me up, I wasn’t sure what to expect. She just said <i>Nonc</i> was going to shoot someone.”</div>
<div>
“Kitty Marie, were you worried about me?” he asked in fake astonishment, pleased when his acting made her cheeks flush. “That’s so sweet.”</div>
<div>
“Shut up, Monk Paul,” she sassed back. “I didn’t want to have to take down my uncle before he committed murder. What in the world were you thinking?”</div>
<div>
He reached over to stroke the long length of her neck. “I was thinking that you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen and I had to see you tonight.” The skeptical look she sent him made him want to laugh. He held it in though. Barely. “You think I don’t find you gorgeous, Kitty-Cat?”</div>

She’s a hunter with the kind of lethal skills that make most men nervous, but all it takes is a single hot look from Zachary Trahan to make her melt into a puddle of goo. And this tiger shifter doesn’t fight fair, using his hot body and his many skills in the kitchen to melt her panties. But there’s a danger in the swamps that threatens to tear them apart, an evil that could turn this hunter into prey.</div>
<div>
When chef Zachary Trahan took a break from work to hunt, the last thing he expected to find was his mate. A human huntress with a hot temper, a quick trigger finger and the kind of body destined to keep him up at nights, Colette makes his tiger purr. He’ll have to fight his stubborn mate, her impossible family and the threat hiding in the swamps before he can finally claim her for his own.</div>

Her eyes popped open. A glance down had her cheeks burning hotter than ever. Zach had made her forget that he’d tackled her to the sofa, that she was naked as a jaybird. His mouth had made her forget she was sprawled in the most obscene way, her hips propped up on the arm and her legs spread wide, everything on display for him.</div>
<div>
She should have clamped her knees together faster than you could say “sin”, but the glowing gold eyes staring down at her exposed sex, the dangerous glitter and hectic color riding high on his cheekbones made her feel sexy. Not obscene. As though this was the most natural thing in the world, as though offering her body to him in such a blatant position was the perfect conclusion to the crazy tango they’d been a part of.</div>
<div>
So instead of closing her legs, instead of covering herself the way she would have with any other man, Colette lifted her arms over her head and arched her back. Surrendering herself to the man who’d touched her heart without even knowing it.</div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">It happens practically every night. My pleasant dreams take on a life of their own, morphing into terrifying nightmares. They are the tsunamis of the dream ocean, spinning me in their churning </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">tides before thrusting me awake, whereupon I find myself drenched in a pool of sweat, and gasping for air. Abandoning my worry isn’t an option since a demonic element is the driving force behind them. It sounds crazy, but even as a child, a special darkness visited me in my dreams. Is it a warning? Or a threat? Your guess is as good as mine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">They always began the exact same way - I'm being hurled into a pitch-black hole of nothingness. I open my sleepy eyes, allowing them time to adjust. Isolation surrounds me, reminding me how unprepared I am for this place. A dim, orange light cuts through the dark abyss like a blade. I squint, realizing it’s much further than it appears. I attempt to move my feet, but they stubbornly refuse. I try a second time, and manage to overcome the terror that is binding them. One step becomes two and I find myself walking at a cautious pace, listening for the faintest sound. I haven’t the slightest idea where I am, which makes me suspicious of everything. My nose wrinkles as I walk through a large pocket of air that reeks with an overpowering odor of burnt hair. I swing and wave my hands, hoping to break up the stench, but to no avail. What could be the source of such a rank smell? I’m not sure I want to know the answer. I quickly push the thought away. Curiosity can be dangerous when it comes between reality and panic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I tread delicately, hoping no one hears me. I don’t think I'm alone, and I find some comfort in the darkness. Whatever is with me is out of my sight, and therefore, out of my mind. I never thought I would find a cliché so helpful to me until now. I wrap my thoughts around it, mustering up the courage to carry on. The orange light grows, compelling me to pick up my pace. I glance at my surroundings, unsure of what I might find. The curved, dank walls and concrete blocks beneath my feet are bare, but fortunately, no revolting creatures dangle from the ceiling or slither past my feet, although I am thinking of them! Where the hell am I? Dreams have a funny way of camouflaging life’s problems, but this is ridiculous!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A glint of light from the ashen wall catches my eye. I step closer to it, noticing how the curved cobbles gently mold my feet to their shapes. Small, rectangular stones that suggest their age goes well beyond the medieval era are arrayed in front of me. A dense tackiness catches the small granules of little dust motes that are reflected by the light here. Some kind of liquid begins to seep from one of the cracks in the stones, and I lower my head to inspect it. The crimson liquid slides sluggishly, like a snail, towards the ground. Leaning closer, I realize I’m staring at blood, and I gasp, jumping backwards. My heart thuds loudly in my chest as my adrenaline speeds through my veins like a racecar. My eyes skip around, noticing thousands of little red capillaries materializing all over the wall. An overwhelming paranoia that the tunnel will cave in torments my mind. I turn and dash towards the light, fueled by my distress. My lungs scream for air as I push myself further and faster than ever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The orange light surrounds a large opening. Skidding to a stop, I barely avoid falling over the ledge at the cave’s entrance. I stare out at a fiery, scarlet landscape that appears infinite, and sends me a menacing warning. I lean forward when a wall of intense heat slugs me in the face, forcing me backwards a few inches. The air is dense, and it’s hard to catch my breath. Sweat beads on my brow, evaporating before I can wipe it away. I scan the ravaged scenery, watching pillars of fire erupt from the ground before disappearing into the onyx sky, rimmed in red. A chain of mountains with jagged cliffs, emerge straight up from the bloodshot dirt. Floating objects I don’t wish to know about, travel in an orbit, weaving in and out through the rough terrain. I’m in a completely different world. My terror lingers, refusing to go away. A raging river of lava slices through the valley, determined to leave its own mark in the middle of this inferno. I stroll down a steep trail that leads directly to the unusual river. I stop long before reaching its banks, and gradually inch my way closer. My eyes drift over to the whirling mass of disturbing beauty. Deep shades of red and orange mesh with each other, creating a horrid kaleidoscope of angry colors. Flashes of distorted images of my family and friends bob in and out of the blazing lava. I watch in horror as the greedy river of fire consumes them without remorse. Despite my attempts to reach in, my hand snaps back after feeling the agonizing heat. I step backwards, staring in numb bewilderment. I know I’m dreaming, but it doesn’t lessen my anxiety. My back slams into something solid and unyielding. Long, crooked fingers wrap around the tops of my tiny shoulders like spiders. Suffering and emptiness engulf me. My heart pounds like a hammer as my limbs melt into rubber. The hands squeeze me hard, sending excruciating pain throughout my entire back. The snapping of my shoulders, cracking like glass, shatters the unbearable stillness.</span></div>

And he’s not about to let anyone or anything get in his way of protecting her and her baby. She’d been the prisoner of a madman and has the emotional scars to prove it. Now that she’s free, he’s going to make damn sure she gets to live her life—with him at her side.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mara adores Race. He’s the first man to make her feel like a woman. To make her feel protected. His touch ignites her desire but she fears for his safety. Her presence in his life puts him in the crosshairs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But with her son’s life on the line, Mara trusts no one but Race to keep them both safe. And to care for her heart—always.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16px;">For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First,
let me say that I have followed this series all the way through and get more
involved as each story is told. Stephanie has created a world so deep
that you will hear the crickets chirp in the woods, she has given so much
detail to every aspect of each character and this story is no different.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now,
this is a short story so my review won't give much away because I truly think
you should read this series. I can't say with a 100% heart that you could read
this book out of order or alone. Don't get me wrong, Stephanie does make sure
to tell you who and what has been going on so you aren't lost, but knowing the
whole family on a one on one basis is better than just getting a glance into their
lives.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Race
has always been the elusive one... The one that doesn't give you much to work
with but oh my goddess is this man - ALL man! And wolf too ;) He knows his
position in the pack and he knows that above all else, family comes first. So
when he requests to become protector of a woman and her baby - he is overcome
with a sense of possessiveness that he is not sure how to handle... But one
thing is for sure; baby and mama have this big hunk of a man wrapped around
their little finger...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mara
has been through hell and back. I mean, really. My heart goes out to her from
all that she has survived. Not to mention that she escaped unharmed and her
baby was delivered into this world knowing love. Mara doesn't trust easily -
hell she doesn't trust at all, but she’s learning that she has too.... But one
man, without a doubt, she trusts - Race. She is trying to understand more
of her world everyday<span style="color: #0e6f31;">; b</span>ut understanding it
and living it are two different things, things Mara is learning how to deal
with. But with a man like Race by her side, she knows she can face the world...
Together. A word that she is not sure she likes...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These two are tying this story together very nicely… The more you read, the more you
understand the coming war and the importance of taking care of your own kind.
Mara and Race aren't the only ones in this fight but they are missing pieces to
the puzzle.... Together, they will find out things that maybe... Just will be
the undoing of them... Before they even get started. Can walls come down? Can
love really make the world change? Will these two find out what the meaning of
"having your back" really means? If you want to know, you will have
to read!<o:p></o:p></div>

Lord
Alex Stelton can’t resist a challenge, especially one with a prize like this:
protect a castle on the Scottish border for a year, and it’s his. Desperate for
land of his own, he’ll do anything to win the estate—even enter a proxy
marriage to Lady Lisbeth Reynolds, the rumored witch who lives there.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Feared
and scorned for her second sight, Lisbeth swore she’d never marry, but she is
drawn to the handsome, confident Alex. She sees great love with him but fears
what he would think of her gift and her visions of a traitor in their midst.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Despite
his own vow never to fall in love, Alex can’t get the alluring Lisbeth out of
his mind and is driven to protect her when attacks begin on the border. But as
her visions of danger intensify, Lisbeth knows it is she who must protect him.
Realizing they’ll secure their future only by facing the threat together, she
must choose between keeping her magic a secret and losing the man she loves.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
Northumberland,
England, 1290<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
“You won the
wager with His Majesty,” said Lord Bryce Mitchell astride his Arabian. He
cantered down the forest trail with Alex Stelton, the newly minted Lord of Glen
Kirk Castle.<i><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“The
entire court placed odds on whether I would succeed.” The two men slowed their
horses to a walk. Alex glanced at Bryce. “Did you lose much?” He refocused his
attention on the trail ahead. “You should have put your coin on me. I only
wager when I’m certain of the results.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“After
one year of holding the old stones against the Scots, he actually gifted the
castle and his ward to you.” Bryce shook his head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
The
ring of surprise in Bryce’s voice and evident disbelief on his face amused
Alex. “His Majesty is a man of his word. Did you have any doubt?” asked Alex,
his head cocked to the side with one eyebrow raised. His face split into a wide
grin.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“About
the king being a man of his word or of you holding off the Scots?” Bryce
colored his smooth retort with a smirk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
The
two friends looked at each other, exploded into laughter, and continued on
until they reached the crossroads where they brought their horses to a halt.
The tower of Glen Kirk Castle, bathed in the setting sun, peeked through the
trees still some three miles to the north. Alex surveyed his new holding. His
chest swelled with pride. <i>Mine.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Though
Edward did make you pay.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Alex
was peeved by Bryce’s patronizing tone. He masked his emotions until they were
as unreadable as stone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Yes,
you could say that.” Alex tried his best dismissive tone. Best he forget the
king’s retribution for now. There would be time enough to deal with it later.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Could?
Surely you knew if he lost the wager he would find some way to make you pay. He
doesn’t lose gracefully at anything, but to actually marry you to his ward by
proxy. I can still see the apoplectic look on your face.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Yes,
Bryce— what about the look on my face?” demanded Alex. His voice sounded
strident even to him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Bryce
turned all shades of purple trying to conceal his mirth but he said not one
word more. Instead he diverted his attention and polished the gold clasp,
embossed with the Mitchell coat of arms, on his cloak.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Alex
bristled at being the center of anyone’s jest. He didn’t take it well from his
brothers, although the six of them only teased to vex him. Even though he was
the youngest, his brothers deferred to him. They knew his worth and, it
appeared, so did the king.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
His
teeth clenched at the thought of his proxy wedding and his humiliation. He knew
he had to take a wife. He had to make his own way in the world. The Stelton
holdings were extensive but not enough to provide him with an income. He’d have
done anything to prove himself worthy of a holding of his own. Maybe even
marry. Perhaps even Lisbeth. He never thought he would marry on the whim of the
king. He had tried to argue, but there was no arguing with Edward. Faith, the
king all but patted him on his head and sent him off like a new page. A page.
He raked his hand through his hair.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
With
a nod of his head, Bryce motioned toward Glen Kirk in the distance. “Marrying
Lisbeth does secure your claim to Glen Kirk.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Lisbeth.
He had lived at Glen Kirk for a year and hardly saw her. The only way he knew
she was near was the little charms she left or the serenity that surrounded
them. She kept herself in the forsaken hunting lodge and managed to elude him
at almost every turn.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
On
odd twinge of disappointment hung round him. She hadn’t been like that years
ago when they encountered each other at court. She had laughed and didn’t have
a care in the world. Four years later he wouldn’t have known it was her if she
hadn’t presented herself at the castle. The impish girl had grown into a poised
beauty. Dark hair fell in long waves down her back. Her slender body was
punctuated with soft curves that couldn’t remain hidden by the black mourning
gown. Large green eyes stared at him from under a fan of long dark lashes. Even
with her dour expression her full lips tempted him. He moved uncomfortably in
his saddle. How things change. How people change.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“You
do know you’re the envy of everyone. Not because the king gave you Wesley’s
treasured Glen Kirk or daughter.” Bryce turned serious. “You inherited Wesley’s
brewer and ale recipe. That should give you some compensation. I understand
it’s a long-held family secret. Wesley was all about family.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Family.
He let his mind wonder. It landed on memories of his early days at court with
his parents and siblings. He enjoyed the candor and tumult around the table in
their assigned apartment. How he would appreciate that safety and security
today in the midst of a court filled with politics and intrigue.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“I
intend to leverage our close friendship,” said Bryce, “I’ll sample each batch
and make certain it retains its high standards.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Alex
grinned at his friend’s declaration. Lord Wesley and Lady Darla Reynolds had
been close friends of his parents. They didn’t bring their daughters to court
often but Richard, their son, was always with them and became close to the
tight-knit band of Stelton boys. Richard’s death on the Welsh battlefields had
been a shock to them all. He and Wesley had spent a good deal of time together
consoling each other over a good many tankards of ale.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
It
was only a short time after Alex left for the Welsh Wars himself that he heard
of Wesley and Darla’s fatal accident. He felt their loss deeply. Now in a twist
of fate their beloved Glen Kirk and daughter were his.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Have
you sent word to her?” Bryce’s question hung heavy in the air.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Alex broke away from his musings. “No, I will tell her when
the time comes.”</div>

adventure story - edgy, intelligent, and sensual. Set in Las Vegas and Ancient
Egypt, Isis Erotica is the
steamy shorter version of the novel, The
Red Mirror, and is packed with intrigue, action and torrid love scenes.

<span style="background: white;">They teach in the temple that there's an animal
energy in us that conjures up base desire mingled with the potent allure of
intense sensuality and deep mystery. The magical spell of the goddess Hathor
transforms raw lust into the promise of pleasure and satisfaction known only by
the gods. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Part One: The Red
Mirror. Who knew an old mirror in an antique store would promise
pleasures more sensuous than any dream? Isis meets River God of bronzed flesh
and snowy linen, the man with The Touch. She will do anything to feel that
touch, even cross through time.<br />
<br />
Part Two: The Persian General. A
wild desert hunt goes all wrong when Isis is kidnapped by the Persian General.
A bull of a man with legs like the columns of a temple, he holds her life in
his thick fingers. But Isis has a destiny, and Isis has the Power - the Hathor
Power.<br />
<br />
Part Three: The Great Green. Isis
is the chosen one, chosen by her father Hermes Trismegistus to protect the
Emerald Tablet. But Isis needs protection herself from the evil Crown Prince
and the invading Persians. Cosmic forces bring together the circle of souls in
two passion-filled nights - one below deck on River God's ship on the Nile and
the other on the Las Vegas Strip. <o:p></o:p></div>

chance twitter conversation led me to this gem of a collection. Tempted by the
historical setting I succumbed to the beautiful cover. I was not let down.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
Ms Gore knows her era well - visit her
website - and I was transported through time to a world of Egyptian gods and
goddesses, temples and high priestesses, honeyed dates and cleansing oils. And
a woman who will never be satisfied by just one man, although Isis does love
them all with great intensity. She has great taste too - these men are to die
for.<br />
The premise behind this trilogy took
me by surprise. I did find the first book slow in pace, but I was too absorbed
by the world of Isis to care. The twist that left me gasping was Isis and The
General. I could not believe what she did. Self-preservation is a powerful
thing. After that the story flowed effortlessly and I was riveted by the facedown
between the men in Isis' life.<br />
There is more to this trilogy than a
love story. Add in reincarnation and mysterious artifacts that cross time and
you have excellent value for money. The writing is high quality and full of
imagery. I highly recommend Ms Gore's work.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>From
the Author~ </b><b>Why
three versions of the same Isis story?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">

Let's call it an exercise to see if I could take on 3 different voices and
write in 3 different styles. And then let's blame it on First Readers'
feedback. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto;">
<br />
I wrote Isis Erotica in
response to input from readers who shared that they photocopied the sexy parts
of The Red Mirror (formerly Isis) before passing on the book. So
why not put together a boiled-down version of the Isis story, cutting out a
couple of characters and leaving the adventure and action while pumping up the
sex? I like to call this my X-rated version.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="background: white;">
<br />
Next, in response to my first readers who were uncomfortable with the explicit
sex of the original version now titled The Red Mirror, I wrote Isis Beach Read as a zippier version, cutting characters,
simplifying Egyptian names and sanitizing the sex. The sex scenes are still
there, but more is left to the reader's imagination. I call this version PG-16.
Although I must admit, I would have read this book at 13 and not blushed at all.<o:p></o:p></div>

Lingerie designer
Alicia Clarkson just had to open her stupid mouth. Now thanks to trying to
defend a fellow pack mate, Alicia’s been blindfolded, tied up, and carted off
to the new alpha of the Oregon pack—Gavin MacKellen. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
However, the
blindfold doesn’t come off so soon. Alicia’s curiosity gets fired up when Gavin
refuses to reveal his face to her. Just what happened to him? He talks to her
from shadowy corners and behind closed doors. The man is as allusive as a
squirrely fox, but Alicia doesn’t play games and the quiet spoken, hoarse
voiced alpha doesn’t stand a chance against her. They settle on an agreement,
thirty days for them to get to know each other because that’s the only way this
cowboy alpha will have it.<o:p></o:p></div>

Gavin MacKellen
needs a mate. But he knows no good woman would ever want to look at his face
after the incident he suffered. After one look at Alicia Clarkson all his plans
fly out the window. The woman’s beauty has him damn stunned speechless. She
torments his thoughts and Gavin finds himself yearning to know everything about
her. As relationship forms, love threatens to grow between them but Gavin
struggles to cope with his physical appearance in the face of the beautiful
Alicia. <o:p></o:p></div>

the last time you were with a man?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Her body
jerked. “Excuse me?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
He sighed,
the sound thick not with impatience but caution. “I won’t repeat myself, Alicia
Clarkson.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
She froze
at the sound of her name even as a part of her understood that he had to know
her name. The tone of his voice had changed though, the grating sound becoming
a growl.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
She
answered as soon as she collected herself. “Seven months ago. No six. Yeah, six
months, I think.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Were you
sleeping with him?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
She bit
the inside of her cheek, jaw flaring as a blush covered her face. “I don’t see
what this as to do with–”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Just
answer the question,” he said in that slow, measured voice. He sounded like
someone who didn’t waste words but chose them with care.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Yes, I
did.” Why that admission embarrassed her when she knew there was no shame in
what she’d done annoyed her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Then he
spoke and every inch of her stiffened. Even her heart skipped a beat. “What do
you look for…in a man?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“What?”
she said, her voice as soft as a whisper. He sounded curious, maybe even a
little embarrassed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Answer
the question, please.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
She shook
her head sending locks of hair snapping across her cheek and stood, teetered,
then widened her stance to steady herself. “No, I’m done with this. I won’t
play your little games anymore. You either explain what this is about or untie
me. Actually, untie me and show me the door. I’ve been ready to leave since I
got here.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
He stood
and she took an abrupt step back. Was it because she feared him—damn right.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Turn
around.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Like
hell.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Turn
around so I can untie you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Biting her
lip, she debated his words. He could by lying. “Promise that’s all you want?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
He grunted
some sound of agreement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
She was
loathed to give him her back but she did, slowly. Better to show him her back
than to keep the ropes on for god knows how long. He grabbed the rope binding
her wrists and her heart jumped with fear. He could kill her; hurt her in so
many ways.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Stare
straight ahead.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Naturally,
she tried to look over her shoulder but he grabbed the back of her head and
turned it to face forward before she could catch a glimpse.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Don’t.” A
warning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
It became
difficult to breathe. This close, she caught his scent. It was fresh and masculine
smelled of something rugged and outdoors. The lykaen in her rolled onto its
back and stretched, content. Whoa. Reel it in, Alicia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
She jumped
at the sound of his voice so close to her ear. He had a gravelly, coarse voice,
deep as a bass singers. He held the rope hostage as he spoke. “I’m searching
for my mate, not lookin’ for no whore. I want you to stay here while we get to
know each other. That means I’m gonna have some questions you’ll need to
answer. You got that?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Not
really. “Yeah,” she said instead since she didn’t see any other options.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Another
grunt of approval, then she heard the metal swish of a switchblade coming out.
She wiggled, tugging to get her arms free as fear rode her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Please
don’t hurt me.” She hung her head, arms trembling in his grasp.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“Stay
still. I don’t wanna nick you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Like that
her fear passed. The blade passed through the ropes with ease and her shoulders
sagged with relief. The itchy, cursed rope fell away. She smiled at the tiny
pleasure of being free.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“You’ll
sleep down the hall. I’ll have Will show you the room.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Fingers
touched her forearms, strong and direct. And then it vanished in an instant.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
Rubbing
her arms at the sudden chill, Alicia turned back only to find he’d retreated
back into the shadows.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
She didn’t
mean to ask it but the words flew from her lips. “Why won’t you let me see your
face?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
He opened
the door, stepping into the hallway. She was so certain he wouldn’t answer her
that she fiddled with her reddened wrists to hide her eyes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
But then
he did answer and his words couldn’t have shocked her more.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
“I don’t
want you to see my face ‘cause I’m an ugly son of a bitch and you’re too pretty
to be looking at that.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: .5in;">
She gaped
as he quietly shut the door behind him.<o:p></o:p></div>

kind of stories that will keep you up late at night and make your heart pound.
It's my goal to make each new book better, more exciting, and more
action-packed to keep thrilling you. <b></b>I'm always trying to push the boundaries
with my imagination, and yours, to create something new and different.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br />
Open up one of my novels and you will find hot, erotic stories that will make
you laugh out loud, cry, and fly through the pages. I write addictive love
stories and I hope you like them.<br />

<span style="color: #343434;">A young woman at the helm of a pirate ship braves ghouls, ghosts
and werewolves to find her father--or avenge his death.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #343434;">Luísa Tavares has a list of sins the length of the Antilles, but
there’s no time to repent for them now. When a pockmarked Frenchman hands her
Papa’s ring—still attached to his severed finger—she orders the <i>Coral </i>back
to the Caribbean, despite her father’s earlier warning never to return.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #343434;">It’s Luísa’s luckless fate that the only man who can help her is
a blasted <i>Inglés</i> pirate hunter who’s more dead than alive and locked in
a curse he doesn’t want lifted. Worse, his feral sensuality sparks a hunger she
can’t ignore.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #343434;">Xander Daltry hadn’t planned on kidnapping this wild woman—or

long dead, and others like her have been cursed to remain in the mortal plane
for eternity. Only the stone can set them free. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #343434;">The only way to convince the reluctant pirate queen to help him

murderous wrath…</span><o:p></o:p></div>

I obtained the above information from Maria Zannini <a href="http://mariazannini.blogspot.com/p/my-books.html" target="_blank">website</a>!<br />
<br />
I am sooo happy that Ms. Maria asked me to read this one for her!!! I have a love for her writing - as it is always invigorating, fresh, raw, hot and of course off the charts! :) Maria writes with wit and passion. She writes her character with a such a fever they will pass their story onto you. She will deliver a story that you will not forget. Maria's stories are so riveting. She gives you everything you need and more. Let's see how this story is told...<br />
<br />
This story is a wild story... One that will keep you turning the page. <span style="color: #343434;">Luísa is a woman with a passionate soul. She is a firecracker! She has to be... Her father has been kidnapped (or worst) and she has been left to run the <i>Coral</i> all by herself; with the help of her co-captain and her crew that has her back - no matter what. But manning a ship full of men, I am sure would be hell for any </span><span style="color: #343434;">woman but not for </span><span style="color: #343434;">Luísa. She takes great pride in running a tight ship. But when she gets a sign that her father may be alive, she knows the crew of the <i>Coral</i> would fight to the death to have their true captain back. But nothing is as it seems... </span><span style="color: #343434;">Luísa may be on a voyage that could be her last... But would it be worth it!</span><br />
<span style="color: #343434;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #343434;">Xander, first let me say I love this name, is a man on a mission. He is trying to save the soul of his sister. Doomed by a curse that can only be lifted by a descendant of the woman who cursed them... Tracking this woman down has not been hard but proving his self worth to her - that is a different story. Xander was ready to take on the world to save his sister; but when he finally gets his hands on the woman that could save them all with just a simple stone, the dynamics of the story changes... For the better or worst... I am not sure. He can only hope he does not have to walk the plank at the end of his journey...</span><br />
<span style="color: #343434;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #343434;">Oh gosh... A woman pirate, a werewolf, a long lost father, of course a deranged lunatic man hell bent on taking what's not his and a crew that would kill anyone who touches their pirate, </span><span style="color: #343434;">Luísa. This story is everywhere! I </span><span style="color: #343434;">welcome you to a story that blew me out the water. It has been a while since I have read a pirate book... but I will say that Maria put me through hell on this one. She put me on the ship with </span><span style="color: #343434;">Luísa and her crew. I could smell the salty sea water, I could hear the randy bickering of the crew, I could see the woman </span><span style="color: #343434;">Luísa wanted to be but couldn't be because of her position on </span><span style="color: #343434;">the ship. She knows what she has to do - or does she... Apparently her father left out a few details about her mother and her past... That comes haunting </span><span style="color: #343434;">Luísa and bringing Xander in her path... Is that a good thing or a bad thing... Well, really there is only one way to find out... </span><br />
<span style="color: #343434;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #343434;">But I will tell you that this story kicks ass! Or should I say pirate booty, lol! </span><span style="color: #343434;">Luísa does not do anything half ass. So saving her father will not be done half ass either. She knows she is about to put her crew in danger no man should face but she knows that without a doubt they would follow her into </span><span style="color: #343434;">oblivion. But when a past catches up with </span><span style="color: #343434;">Tavares</span><span style="color: #343434;"> family, it is time to either pay the due or have to do something that's really really bad that you don't want to know about.... </span><span style="color: #343434;">Can </span><span style="color: #343434;">Luísa saved the ones that have come to mean something to her or is her world doomed.... Well, I am guessing only the Mistress of the Stone will be able to tell you what happens...</span></div>

love—complete with a home and family—and he wants it with Indy. But a blessing

fell in love with reading romance novels. She read so many books so quickly
that her husband teased, “If you’re going to read so many damn books, why don’t
you just write one?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">So she did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">That first book is safely buried on her hard drive, but the process set
Shannyn on the path to professional author. She came to reading romance later
than many, but lives for the happy ending because real life can be depressing.
She writes contemporary romance because she enjoys the adventure of new love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">In her spare time, she loves to bake cookies and watches far too much
TV, especially cop shows. She is recovering from her Diet Coke addiction, fears
putting her foot in her mouth on social media, and has a renewed appreciation
for the bad girls of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Vi Martin, a successful multi-millionaire
businesswoman, is in for a surprise when the domestic agency sends her a new
butler for her swanky Miami retreat. Drop dead gorgeous Clarkson Dale is the
consummate professional butler until he meets his new employer. Strictly
professional by day but all bets are off at night when they explore their
fantasies. The sparks fly and their attraction is undeniable when they break
all the rules when Michel, Vi’s gorgeous young French-trained chef joins
Clarkson and Vi in exploring her deeper sexual tastes. <a href="http://www.katedeveaux.com/"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">www.katedeveaux.com</span></a> (Total

<div class="MsoNormal">
“The
Butler Did It’ is a twist on a Downton Abbey/ Upstairs Downstairs with a
contemporary setting and a red hot butler, Clarkson Dale, and his sexy self
assured boss, Vivienne Martin. Vi likes to break the rules and it turns out so
does Clarkson when work turns to play.<o:p></o:p></div>

How
much emotion does it take from you to write? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
An
amazing amount, to be in the mind of the characters is all encompassing. But
it’s fun! <o:p></o:p></div>

Which
was the easiest character to write and the hardest ~ and why??<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Michel
was probably the hardest to write, he’s the Chef. He’s young and more on the
outskirts of the story until he becomes a very important element in fulfilling
Vi’s fantasies. Ménage scenes are always tricky, a lot to keep track of with
three in a sex scene instead of two. Nothing’s worse than a character sitting
there twiddling their thumbs while the other two go at it! Lol<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .25in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Kate Deveaux is a contemporary, erotic
romance writer and die-hard romantic. It was after reading Jane Eyre in high
school that she became hooked on the idea of writing about romance, excitement
and drama. Kate has been penning stories, from the sensual to the sinfully
sexy, ever since!</div>

fictional stories explore the dynamics of why relationships do or don’t work, the
choices people make, family dramas and the unexpected events that set everyday
life on its head. She is currently busy completing two erotic romance novels
and one contemporary romance novel for release in 2013 — each filled with sexy
romance, heroines who are no shrinking violets and heroes who make your heart
skip a beat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 20.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<i>A former wedding planner, Kate has
always been “in love” with love!<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She was inspired to transition from writing
racy short stories to full length manuscripts after meeting other authors in
the romance world at industry workshops, conferences and events. Now a
full-time contemporary romance novelist, Kate is a member of Savvy Author,
Romance Writers of America (RWA) as well as their erotic romance chapter,
Passionate Ink. Born in London, England, Kate has lived in both the U.K. and
the U.S and she is a graduate of the University of Alberta in Canada. She and
her husband currently reside in Arizona. When she’s not writing or reading,
Kate can be found on the tennis court—yes, there’s even “love” in that game
too!<o:p></o:p></div>

After over a year together, Connor
Morrison and Wes Martin decide to tie the knot. But an ethics complaint
regarding their deeply non-traditional relationship threatens Connor’s job and
Wes’s Ph.D. The fact that Connor tried to keep it from Wes—even with the best
of intentions—makes the situation even worse and casts a pall over their plans
for a Christmas wedding in New York.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 21.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
It doesn’t help that Connor still
treats Wes like glass, though Wes insists he’s recovered from the brutal
assault he suffered a year and a half earlier. Wes may be okay, but Connor
isn’t. Memories of taking a battered, terrified Wes to the emergency room that
night still haunt him, and he can’t let go of the need to protect Wes from any
and everything life might throw at him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 21.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
But Wes has had enough. Between the
specter of the ethics complaint and Connor’s overprotectiveness, he’s already
beginning to question their plans. Add in a family ashamed of and angered by
his choices, and Wes might just leave Connor standing at the altar.<o:p></o:p></div>

I obtained the above information from <a href="http://riptide./">Riptide.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Just a little warning, if the cover did not tip you off or the genre listing did not tip you off, this is a m/m book. If this is not your cup of tea, you will not offend me if you just drop by to say hi and move on... Know that one I am hoping to change your mind! :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;">For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">I have to say that I highly agree with Riptide that you kinda should read Priceless first. I am a person that had to read things in order, but for this series - you kinda have to. Ms. Cat does an awesome job of not making you feel lost because she does capture the story... but to know the details that make this story what is and truly appreciate it... you need to read Priceless. Buttt..... if you have read Priceless, then you will definitely want to pick this one up as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
Connor is a man of great intelligence but when it comes to his partner, he can be a little daft. He needs to protect is overriding his need to just love. Connor wants to make sure that Wes always feels safe with him and never in harm but wanting to spank his ass is giving Connor nightmares... He is scared of what that would do to Wes (you have to read book one to find out what happened with that, really sad, but Connor was there for him) but he should be scared of losing Wes. Connor is the one that needs to get over and let go of what happened and move on... Then his job... Well, that is another issue that is weighing heavy on Connor... But keeping things from him partner is not a good idea... Can Connor overcome everything and just learn to let go and love... Because Wes is his world... What happens if his world disappears...?<br />
<br />
Wes... I just want to take him and love him. He has been through hell and back but he is determined to make Connor see that loving him will not kill him... Actually the opposite is kinda true... Not being able to love his partner may be the death of him. Wes is trying to figure out how to convince Connor to love him with a hard hand without scaring him. Even though it should be Wes that's scared of a hard hand... Wes just wants his Connor back... The one that loves him with a raw passion and doesn't hide things from him... But what can Wes do to make Connor see... They are getting married... Or are they. Wes can't imagine his life without Connor but without his love and support what good is a marriage....<br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">The tension is thick, the love is thicker... But can Connor realize what he is doing before it is too late. Wes is his world and it is about to slip though his fingers if he is not careful... </span><span style="font-size: 16px;">This story will keep you on your toes and make you want to slap the crap out of some freaking arrogant people. Connor and Wes are an adorable couple, but feelings get hurt and pride gets dinged.. Can these two make it to their wedding... or will there be a divorce before a marriage? I hope you take the journey with Connor and Wes to see how they grow...</span><br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Rylee Thomas is used to being in control. But she’s
about to meet the one man that just might make her enjoy losing it…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I am the exception to the rule. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">In a world full of willing women, I’m a challenge to
the roguish and achingly handsome Colton Donavan. A man used to getting exactly
what he wants in all aspects of life. He’s the reckless bad boy constantly
skating that razor thin edge toward out of control, on and off of the track. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Colton crashes into my life like a tornado: sapping
my control, testing my vulnerabilities beyond their limits, and unintentionally
penetrating the protective wall around my healing heart. Tearing apart the
world I rebuilt so carefully with structure, predictability, and discipline.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I can’t give him what he wants and he can’t give me
what I need. But after a glimpse beneath his refined exterior into the dark
secrets of his damaged soul, can I bring myself to walk away?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Our sexual chemistry is undeniable. Our individual
need for complete control is irrefutable. But when our worlds collide, is the
chemistry enough to bring us together or will our untold secrets and battle of
wills force us apart?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Jealous, sweetheart?” He raises his
eyebrows as his grin flashes arrogantly. “We can always finish what we started,
and you can mark me any way you’d like.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I gently shove my hand against his chest,
pushing him back. I’d love to wipe that smirk off if his face. Leave my mark
that way. “Sorry, I don’t waste my time on misogynist jerks like you. Go find
someone—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Careful, Rylee,” he warns as he
grips my wrist, looking every bit as dangerous as his voice threatens. “I don’t
take kindly to insults.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I try to yank my wrist away, but his
hold remains. To anyone in the room, it looks as if I’m laying my hand on his
heart in affection. They can’t feel the steel strength of his grip. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> “Then hear this,” I snap, tired of this game
and the warring emotions and sensations within me. Anger takes hold. “You only
want me because I’m the first female who’s said no to your gorgeous face and
come-fuck-me body. You’re so used to every female falling at your feet, pun
intended, that you see a challenge—someone immune to your charm—and you’re
unsure how to react.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Despite his nonchalant shrug, I can
see his underlying irritation as he releases my wrist. “When I like what I see,
I go after it,” he states unapologetically.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Shaking my head, I roll my eyes.
“No, you need to prove to yourself that you can, in fact, get any girl who
crosses your path. Your ego’s bruised. I understand,” I patronize patting his
arm. “Well, don’t sweat it, Ace, I forfeit this race.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">He raises an eyebrow, a ghost of a
smile on his lips as he finds something humorous in my comment. The muscle in
his clenched jaw tics as he regards me momentarily. “Let’s get something
straight,” he leans in, inches from my mouth, the gleam in his eyes warning me I’ve
gone too far. “If I want you, I can and will have you, at anytime and in
anyplace, sweetheart.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I snort in the most unladylike way,
astonished at his audacity, yet trying to ignore the quickening of my pulse at
the thought. “Don’t bet on it,” I sneer as I hastily try to skirt past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">His hand whips out and grabs hold of
my arm again, spinning me back toward him, so that I’m standing intimately
close. I can see his pulse beat in the line beneath his jaw. Can feel the
fabric of his jacket hit my arm as his chest rises and falls. I glance down at
his hand on my arm and glare back at him in warning, yet his hold still
remains. He leans his face in to mine so that I can feel his breath feather
across my cheek. I angle my head up to his, not sure if I’m raising my chin in
defiance or in anticipation of his kiss. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Lucky you, I’m a gambling man,
Rylee,” his resonating voice is just a whisper of sound. “I do, in fact, like a
good challenge now and again,” he provokes, a mischievous smile playing at the
corners of his mouth. He releases my arm, but runs his finger lazily down the
rest of it. The soft scrape of his finger on my exposed skin sends shivers down
my back. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“So let’s make a bet.” He stops and
nods at a passing acquaintance, bringing me to the here and now as I’ve
forgotten that we’re in a room full of people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Didn’t your mother teach you when a
lady says no, she really means no, Ace?” I raise my eyebrow, a look of disdain
on my face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">That smarmy smirk of his is back in
full force as he nods in acknowledgement at my comment. “She also taught me
that when I want something, I need to keep after it until I get it.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Great, so now I’ve acquired a
stalker. A handsome, sexy, very annoying stalker.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">He reaches out and toys with a loose
curl on the side of my neck. I try to remain impassive despite my urge to close
my eyes and sink into the whisper of his fingers across my skin. His smirk
tells me that he knows exactly what his effect is on me. “So, like I said,
Ryles, a bet?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I bristle at his proposition. Or
maybe it is at his effect on me. “This is asinine—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“I bet by the end of the night,” he
cuts me off holding a hand up to stop me, “I have a date with you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I laugh out loud stepping back from
him. “Not a chance in hell, Ace!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">He takes a long swallow of his
drink, his expression guarded. “What are you scared of then? That you can’t
resist me?” He flashes a wicked grin when I roll my eyes. “Agree then. What do
you have to lose?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“So you get a date with me and your
bruised ego is restored,” I shrug indifferently, wanting no part of this
contest. “What will I get out if it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“If you win—”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“You mean if I can resist your
dazzling charm,” I retort, my voice laced with sarcasm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Let me rephrase. If you can resist
my dazzling charm by the end of the night, then I’ll donate,” he flickers his
fingers through the air in a gesture of irrelevance, “let’s say, twenty
thousand dollars to your cause.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I catch my breath and look at him in
bewilderment, for this I can agree to. I know that there’s no way in hell that
I’ll succumb to Donavan or his captivating wiles, the arrogant bastard. Agreed,
I was caught in his tantalizing web for a few moments, but it was just because
it’s been so long since I’ve felt like that. Since I’ve been kissed like that.
Been touched like that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hair of her oldest daughter’s American girl doll, trying to potty train her

you can almost always find her with Kindle in hand, devouring the pages of a

Evan Donovan is a big muscled
giant of a man, whose size and strength make him uniquely qualified to be a
smoke jumper. No matter how great or how treacherous the challenge, he gets the
job done. But when he agrees to look in on a friend’s ex-wife after a
suspicious brushfire, Evan learns that some jobs are too hot to handle.
Especially when it involves a scorchingly sexy woman…<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>SHE’S PLAYING WITH FIRE</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Faye Duncan is a photographer on a mission,
shooting fires for a magazine. But her first encounter with a wildfire isn’t
nearly as wild as her first night with Evan Donovan. The moment she meets the
bigger-than-life hero, the sparks begin to fly. But things really catch fire
when Evan learns she may have taken a photo of the arsonist setting the fires.
Evan is determined to keep Faye safe. But if he expects her to trust him with
her life, he’ll have to open up his heart—even if someone gets burned…<o:p></o:p></div>

Okay, first I normally tell you about the author and her story she has created or the past stories... But today, I want to take a moment and pay homage to the cover. I normally don't mention the cover - because as readers, we are not to judge a book by it's cover. But in this case, I will make an exception!! Because this cover totally freaking rocks!! There is a part in the story that this cover fits so well. I mean down to a 'T'! Evan is freaking hot.. All firefighter, all smoke jumper, all male and all sorts of yumminess! And the cover screams EVAN! The only difference in the scene that is burned in my mind and the cover - is he still has some equipment on his shoulder and in the story... Well, let's just say that he will be working with his other equipment! :)<br />
<br />
Okay now on to my normal review... Anne amazes me with each story. She brings these three men into your heart and she roots a place for them. The first story was Jack's story and OMG... You will fall in love with him and his brothers. This is Evan's story and oh man, does Anne make sure she knocks you to your knees with this big man! The world of smokers jumpers will burn you alive!<br />
<br />
Evan is a man on a mission - keeping what is his safe. No matter the cost to himself. He is always looking out for his family and friends. He does not put on airs about who he is but own's who he is. There is no mistaking who Evan is and what he stands for. He is the kinda guy that you either like him or you don't. And most people are just a little intimidated by him, so they kinda stay away. But he loves his family with every fiber of his being and when asked, he would do anything for them... So when he gets a phone call from one of his Marine buddies, requesting a favor... Well, he can't seem to say no... But when he finds out what the favor is... or should I say who she is... Well, that is when the heat starts to slowly burn... :)<br />
<br />
Faye is a woman on a mission as well... A mission to put as many miles between her and her ex as possible. She wants to start living a life for herself. Needing to feel free, she bought herself a pretty little red Corvette... She cashed out her 401K and bought that pretty little thing and headed out of dodge without looking back! But needing money to live on is what put her in Strong, CA. She was there on an assignment, but while she was there - she just a soon enjoy the views, lol. Surrounded by firefighters and smoke jumpers... I mean, who could ask for a better assignment than that! She was there to report on the new fire station that Jack and his brothers were restoring. But there might be more than just a restoring story to report... But will it cost Faye her life to report it... Faye also wasn't expecting Evan... She wasn't prepared for the fire storm that would brew between them... She is playing with fire but was she ready to burn...<br />
<br />
This is such a hot story... From the moment you open the book and read page one, till the end - the book title is true - you will slowly burn for more. Anne crafted this story with some intense drama. But I do have to say that I would have loved to have been there when Faye was taking pictures of the firefighters when they were cleaning up the fire station... with their shirts off, the water hose going off on them... Oh, she will have you drooling over some scenes. But she will have you biting your nails at some scenes.... Anne, I am warning you now... I will be stalking you for Rio's story **evil wink**<br />

<span style="color: #1a1a1a;">A
millennia-long war between two immortal races is about to come to an end. Long
ago, the Vampire Elite began capturing the immortals called the Amiti,
attracted by their unique blood properties. Now most Amiti live in underground
cells, forced to serve as vampires’ bloodstock. The few surviving free Amiti,
preparing a final strike, have declared their Queen a traitor. Her execution
makes possible the rise of a new Queen, her young daughter Arianna, who will
inherit her mother's mystical powers. Working with the Keepers of the Key,
Arianna may be able to eliminate the vampires, once and for all, from the face
of the earth.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Keepers of the Key<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Members
of the Vampire Elite are about to celebrate the total defeat of their enemies,
the Amiti. But the vampires’ victory will not be complete until they eliminate
the final Amiti safeguard: the Keepers of the Key. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
Keepers are five Amiti originally named by Hathor, the Egyptian goddess who
created the Amiti. Knowing how dangerous life on earth will be for them, Hathor
gave five Amiti the ability to unlock the powers of the Egyptian gods by symbolically
turning the Key of Life, the Ankh. If the five Amiti Keepers come together and
focus their will on the Ankh symbol, visualizing it with the intention of
unleashing the powers of the gods, the Key will be turned. The catch is that
nobody actually knows what might happen if the powers of gods were to be
unlocked: some believe that those powers will be the Amitis’ to command; others
believe that turning the Key will unleash total chaos and destruction. The
ancient legend about the goddess Sekhmet’s rampage across Egypt and how close
she came to totally annihilating life on earth is vivid in both Amitis’ and
vampires’ minds. However, the Amiti have reached the breaking point, fearing
their own total decimation, and virtually all of them agree that it is time to
take this extreme step. And the vampires, of course, will do all they can to
stop them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the <i>Vampire Elite</i> everyone has their perspective, and to some degree
everybody is right; both immortal races are fighting for the survival of their
people. The fact that the novel offers no black-and-white answers, no purely
evil or purely good choices, means that readers never know which side to take. Beware:
it will keep you on your toes.<o:p></o:p></div>

at the Hunter’s auction) <o:p></o:p></span></i><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
As the auctioneer spoke, two Sekhmi in eveningwear—a
male carrying an elegant dagger and a female a silver tray covered with glass
vials—approached the <span class="mark">Amiti</span>
girl. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
“She’s barely eighteen, ladies and gentlemen. That’s
a good three years younger than the youngest bloodstock you’ll usually come
across. Look at her; she’s stunning, simply stunning, and as you can see, we’ve
kept her well conditioned, in excellent health.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
The auctioneer paused as the male Hunter grasped the <span class="mark">Amiti</span>’s hand and held
it above the tray. The girl showed no resistance, her only display of anxiety
the butterfly fluttering of her thick eyelashes. He raised his other hand, and
the dagger flashed in the light as with a swift motion he slit the <span class="mark">Amiti</span>’s palm. The
dark, intoxicating scent of fresh blood filled the room as it poured into the
vials.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-top: 12.0pt; text-indent: .5in;">
Simone’s gums began to itch and burn, and she covered
her mouth with her hand so no one would see her fangs punching down. It was
considered terribly rude to expose one’s fangs in public, even among other
vampires. But she needn’t have worried; everyone’s attention was riveted to the
stage and the blood flowing from the girl’s wound. The room vibrated with
bloodlust and sexual arousal. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-top: 12pt;">
The
female <span class="mark">Sekhmi</span>
approached Simone’s table, offering the Royal Pride the first of the blood
samples. Knowing that all eyes were on her, Simone forced herself not to
hesitate and took a small sip—and was immediately flooded with euphoria. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-top: 12pt;">
“For
this magnificent specimen, we open the bidding at ten million U.S. <span style="background: white;">dollars,” announced</span> the auctioneer. <o:p></o:p></div>

Sinclair made it to the brink of partnership at her high-powered law firm with
hard work, dogged determination, and the ruthless self-discipline to cultivate
a conservative public image. But when she follows an evasive witness into a sex
club, she can’t deny herself a red-hot sexual encounter with the seductive
bartender who sets her body on fire. She’s sure no one will ever know about her
indiscretion —until she walks into the courtroom to find her dirty little
secret is the opposing counsel in the most important case of her career.<o:p></o:p></div>

As
the managing partner in a struggling law firm, hot-shot attorney Mark Richards
can’t afford any mistakes that might cost him his biggest client. Like getting
involved with his beautiful, determined opponent—the mystery woman he hasn’t
been able to forget. But when Katy’s quest for justice leads to death threats,
Mark will sacrifice everything to protect her. Now they’re risking their
hearts…and their lives…in a race to catch a killer. Little do they know, the
greatest danger lies closer to home.<span style="color: #18376a;"> <a href="http://www.sarahcastille.com/"><span style="color: #6b006d; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">www.sarahcastille.com</span></a> </span>(Samhain

Recovering
lawyer, karate practitioner, and caffeine addict, Sarah Castille worked and
traveled abroad before trading her briefcase and stilettos for a handful of
magic beans and a home near the Canadian Rockies. Her steamy, contemporary
romantic tales feature blazingly hot alpha heroes and the women who tame them.<o:p></o:p></div>

After
graduating with a B.A Honors degree in History and an LL.B. (law degree), Sarah
Castille practiced law on the West Coast for several years before succumbing to
the lure of foreign travel. She obtained a Masters Degree in Law from the
University of Edinburgh and then practiced at one of the world’s largest law firms
in London, England during which time she traveled extensively, wrote
moderately, and developed a taste for tea, European footwear and Greek cuisine.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
She traded
in her life of European glamor for the comforts of the frozen North and the
excitement of home renovation, during which time she wrote extensively, never
traveled, and developed a taste for beef jerky, Tim Horton’s coffee and Sorels.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
After her
first book, Legal Heat, won prizes in nine Romance Writers’ Association chapter
contests, including the Grand Prize in the Valley of the Sun Hot Prospects
Contest, Sarah decided to take a break from high heels and legal practice to
write about red-hot alpha males and the women who tame them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sarah lives with her husband, munchkins and a
family of owls in the shadow of Canada’s Rocky Mountains, where she is
currently working on her next novel.<o:p></o:p></div>

No
woman is allowed to touch him, not until he can return his long-dead lover back
to life. All he has to do is sacrifice one human girl, a girl who unlocks his
powers and rips his dormant lust right out of his body. Trapped by his promise,
Dyletri has no choice but to watch Ismini die, no matter how much he wants her.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Yet the darkness of his calling is spiraling
within him, demanding he claim the human as his. If he goes back on his
promise, the energy of the Fates will cause untold destruction in the Universe.
That doesn’t change how Dyletri’s begun exhibiting symptoms that point to more
than just lust. How does he allow Ismini to die when she’s come to own him from
the inside out?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Desire and torment spiral into something much
darker than obsession, more turbulent than an addiction, and something much
more brutal than a mere soul-mating. As a war is being rekindled right under
his nose, Dyletri will have to come to terms with a destiny eleven thousand
years in the making. He thought he’d known what path his future would take, but
he’d been wrong. Now the one woman he truly loves might pay the price for his
decision.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Blood Flows Deep in the Empire is the first in a
series that will pit free will against Destiny, Destiny against Fate, and love
against brutal desire. Everyone likes to think they have a choice as to who
they end up with, but as they rise to face the greatest threat they’ve ever
known, even the Gods will learn they have to bend to Destiny’s whim to survive.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">“You’re so beautiful, girl. Just looking at you drives me
wild.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">That new, demonic half of his voice had to be
the sexiest thing she had ever heard. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">His words were even more so. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Dyletri’s expression made her arch into him,
made her want to believe him. His thumb caressed her lips, and before Ismini
realized it, she was once again moving on instinct. She opened her mouth and
tilted her head, sucking the digit right in. A shock of power shot into her
mouth, almost as if she’d put her tongue into an electrical socket. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Ismini loved every bit of it. She sighed around
his thumb, sucking it deeper. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Dyletri moaned, baring his teeth. She bit down
on his flesh, her stare locked on his large canines.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">She had no right to his blood, but Ismini wanted
it inside her. That should have scared her. In reality, Ismini was too far gone
for that shit. Fear had no place inside her. Only need and hunger. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">And insanity. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Because that’s what he brought out in her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">His thumb slipped out of her mouth, and she
pouted, a hungry mewl leaving her. Dyletri cupped her face, lifting her head
and lowering himself onto her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">His lips stopped a mere breath away from hers,
his exhalations leaking in between her lips and sliding over her tongue. Ismini
froze, realizing what he intended. And knowing damned well that she had no
experience when it came to kissing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Dyletri sensed her hesitation, and he stopped,
as well. Every inch of that big, hard body was touching her. He was breathing
hard, and his brow furrowed as he stared at her. She could see that he was
confused, that he was wondering why she’d stopped.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">In that moment she wanted to kick herself for
being such an idiot. She was afraid that what she was about to say would turn
him off. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">“I—I’ve never . . . I don’t know how,” she
whispered, dropping her gaze to his lips. She couldn’t stand to see the reality
seep back into his face. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">But Dyletri surprised her. As he lowered his
head, he held hers still, and he placed a gentle but intensity-filled kiss to
her cheek. A spark of energy pulsed through every cell of her skin. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">“I know,” he murmured, placing another kiss
closer to her mouth. And another. And yet another. “I’m dying to be the first
one to show you . . . dying to be the first one to taste you. To take
you.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">He thrust against her as he spoke, licking the
corner of her lips when he talked about tasting her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Her mouth fell open, and she moaned. “Dyletri.”
His lips landed on hers, and a groan escaped him, the sound hitting her
straight on. She wasn’t sure who opened first, but it was definitely she who
sucked in his bottom lip, pulling it between her teeth. With heavy-lidded eyes,
she watched his lip curl. Another growl left him, and his incisors grew even
longer. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Then his fingers on her jaw became almost
brutal, forcing her open, holding her still even though all she wanted to do
was attack him. The urge grew when his tongue slid in, moving against hers. It
was hotter than any other part of him. Sinuous and sinful in every way. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">All lingering uncertainty flew right out the
window. Their breaths and moans mixed as her tongue connected with his. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Amazing. He was fucking amazing, and the way his
tongue tasted was nothing short of sexual. She’d never had sex, of course, but
her body knew that was what he tasted like. Ismini swirled her tongue around
his, opening her mouth further for him and tilting her head. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Dyletri thrust against her, over and over, his
dick pressed right where she needed it. His tongue mimicked the movement of his
hips, making her tighten her legs around him and pull him close. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Every moan out of his mouth was like a bolt
straight between her legs. Every rock of his hips was answered by one of her
own. Her hands traced every muscle on his back, fondled every ridge. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">So much power. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">She could feel him holding back. She knew it was
probably because she was human and he had the power to break her and yet, she
wanted him to. She needed him to. She was dying for him to just slam into her
with everything he had until there was nothing left of her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Dyletri pulled his head back, one elongated
tooth stinging Ismini’s lower lip as he gave her a gentle bite. She cried out,
the thought of him tasting her blood sending her into a frenzy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">It was an instant deluge. She began thrusting
against him, her nails digging into unyielding flesh. Her moans escalated. Her
orgasm was right there and already washing over her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Until he pulled away. Again. </span><br />
<br />

voice. “Dyletri.” He laughed darkly, looking way too amused for her liking. “I
swear to fucking God—” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">He grabbed on to the waistband of her pants, his
fingers harsh. “I am your fucking god!” Oh . . . oh my . . . “You’re not coming
until I let you to, got it?”</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">N. Isabelle Blanco was born in Queens, NY (USA). At age 3,
due to an odd fascination with studying </span><b></b><span style="background-color: white;">her mother’s handwriting, she had
already begun to read and write. By the time she’d reached kindergarten, she
had an extensive vocabulary and her obsession with words began to bleed into
every aspect of her life. An avid reader in her teens, a fascination with
Japanese anime eventually led her to the universe of fanfiction.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Her on again, off again hobby for the next ten
years, She amassed a following of fans that, by her own admission, she would
never be able to live without. It was those fans who encouraged her to step
beyond the fanfiction realm and try her talent in the publishing world.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">N. Isabelle’s first ebook, “Destructively
Alluring”, came out July 2012, followed by "Addictive Lunacy" in
September. The third novella in this debut series, "Allure
Magnified," is due in November 2012 and her first full-length novel is due
out next spring.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Certain not to disappoint, “Blood Flows Deep in
the Empire” is a fast-paced, erotically charged thrill ride from cover to
cover. Look for in both print and ebook formats on March 7, 2013.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

for a normal life. Daughter to the king of the Northeastern faction of vampires
her life is anything but normal. Her actions are ruled by her duty to her
people and her father's demands. Serena's father Sebastian is impossible to
please no matter how hard Serena tries. Loyalty and fear keep her trapped in
her life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">While tending to business for her father Serena meets Nick,
a handsome young realtor whom she finds herself attracted to regardless of the
fact that he is human. Even though she knows better she can't seem to stop
herself from falling into his arms, and his bed. Nick gives her a glimpse into
the normal life she wishes for but how long can she ignore their differences?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">When humans start showing up drained of their blood with
obvious vampire bites on their bodies Sebastian takes it as a direct challenge
to his authority. Someone is gathering his enemies with intentions of stripping
him of his title. The only two he can trust to aid him is his daughter Serena,
and his assassin Alex. Little did he know that once the two meet all their
lives would change forever. No one can change the course of fate. When destiny
calls they try to fight it but neither Serena nor Alex can deny the pull of
their souls yearning to be joined.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Why don't
you tell us a little about yourself.... Something that we cannot Google about
you, lol! I’m a stay at home mom with two kids and have been with my husband
for nineteen years. My favorite thing to do besides writing is baking. If I’m
not in my office writing, I’m in my kitchen baking up blueberry muffins, red
velvet cupcakes or sugar cookies.</span><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tell us a
little about your book? Give Me Forever is an erotic paranormal romance. When
Serena meets her soul mate Alex, she has already fallen for another man, Nick.
Alex is a player and doesn’t want to be tied down to anyone, especially the vampire
king’s daughter. Threats to the kingdom bring Alex and Serena together and they
fight their need to be with one another. Their souls are yearning to be
together and their feelings are hard to deny. After heartache and tragedy, they
finally give in. Not everyone is happy about their union, especially the king,
Serena’s father, Sebastian.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">How much
emotion does it take from you to write? Writing a book is an emotional roller
coaster. This is especially true when you write about relationships and you
draw from your own personal experiences. It takes a lot out of me and I have to
decompress with music after writing a difficult scene. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">What is
your favorite part of the book? My favorite part of the book is when Serena and
Alex meet for the first time. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Which was
the easiest character to write and the hardest ~ and why?? The easiest
character to write was Nick. He is so sweet and honorable, it was easy to write
about him. The hardest was Sebastian. He is such a hardass, and frankly a jerk
sometimes. I wanted to portray him for who he really is, but I didn’t want my
readers to hate him. Underneath the tough exterior, there is a small soft spot,
but I don’t want to say anymore. I have to leave the rest for his book!<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

down but I’m hesitant to move forward with it. I also have a YA fantasy novel
started. I’m hesitant to move forward with that one too. What’s my reason?
Well, like anything new, it’s unchartered territory for me and that makes me
apprehensive. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

My name is Serena, and no I don’t believe we’ve met before.” Unsure of what his reaction would be, I waited for his reply.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">A look of realization flickered across his features. “I’m honored to meet you Serena.” He took my hand in his and kissed it gently. “I had no idea Sebastian’s daughter would be so exquisite.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I remained silent, not knowing what to do. The knowledge of who I was would either make him want to get closer or run far away from me. Either way most men treaded very carefully around me and I knew my father was the reason.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“What brings you to a place like this, Serena? I wouldn’t imagine your father approving.” He spoke with a sexy grin that made me wish he would make a move on me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“It’s my birthday! Besides, I’m actually here often. I’ve never seen you here before. Where you been hiding?” I asked with a flirtatious smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">“I’ve been out of town for awhile and got back recently. Looks like I have perfect timing. Please tell me you’re here alone and that I’m just catching you after a feeding instead of a celebratory screw.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Instinctively I moved closer to him, my eyes never leaving his. “I’m here painfully alone.” Our attraction hummed in the air as we stood locked in a heated stare.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

A stay at home wife and mother, Celeste never dreamed she would be so fortunate to be a full-time write</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">r. She resides in New York City with her husband of over fifteen years and their two children. All of Carrara's books are based in her hometown, her favorite city Manhattan.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">As a child she loved reading and used her writing of poetry as a way to escape her troubled childhood. Life got in the way, and her reading took a back seat to raising her kids. After her children became self-sufficient, and she had more time on her hands, her sister told her about a "hot new paranormal romance" she had to read. Celeste jumped in and returned to her love of reading. Always fascinated by all things paranormal, and a lover of romance, Celeste devoured every paranormal romance she could find. She has always liked her books with some spice so it came as no surprise she found erotic romance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">All this reading sparked the writer within. An idea for a story came to her one day and she decided to put it on paper. Soon, the ideas were flowing and she couldn't stop writing. With encouragement from her husband, and best friend, Celeste completed her first novel, Give Me Forever, and hasn't looked back. Currently she is working on more books of the Paranormal City series as well as stand-alone erotic romances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>USA Today bestselling author Lauren Dane delivers a second serving of
sexy in her new Delicious novel—in which taste and temptation make up a sweet
recipe… </b> Mary
Whaley has her hands full running a successful catering company and overseeing
her supper club. She’s got everything she ever wanted—or so she thought. When
she meets ridiculously hot and very dirty rock star Damien Hurley at her
friend’s engagement party, the attraction she feels is overpowering—and she
isn’t about to deny herself.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
Damien is used to a hard and fast life. He and two of his brothers
started a band when they were all in high school—then they hit the big time and
stayed there. He’s also a legendary madman on the stage and in the bedroom. But
when he meets Mary, something clicks, and the bad boy starts thinking he may
have finally found something good.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What
begins as a series of fleeting trysts soon get much more complicated. Damien
can’t figure out why Mary doesn’t want more from him. And before long it’s
Damien who wants more of Mary. But it turns out Mary is no stranger to the
celebrity news and he’s got a very big job ahead of him—proving that he’s worth
more than a one-night stand…<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
If
you follow me, you know that I have read the first two books in this delicious
series and loved them. Ms. Lauren had created a world within a world.... She
has actually brought two worlds together. The Brown family and all their
friends. Even if you don't read this series or Lauren's other series in order,
I promise you won't be lost. Ms. Lauren does an awesome job (as always) of
entwining all of her characters together without overwhelming the story or
taking away from the main characters of the story. She does a great job
at blending everyone's lives together. In fact, she does it in such a way that
you fall back in love with older characters. This story is still as
delicious as the first two. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mary
is one woman I have been waiting to meet. She is the backbone of her friends.
Always pushing them, encouraging them, egging them on to make their dreams come
true. She is the shoulder they lean on, the pillar of strength they come to
when all else fails. She is the epitome of a strong woman. She is not stupid
when it comes to rock star love... She has seen enough with her friends to know
that it's a bitch to deal... But when does it become worth it.... Is
Damien worth it? Or is the heartbreak enough to make her close up her heart and
move on....<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Damien
has lived the true life of a rocker. Never regretting anything in his past. He
works hard, plays harder but love.... Well, that's about to knock him off his
ass. Just imagine a drummer of a successful rock band... Oh yea, you know what your dirty
mind has thought of... The sweat, the muscles, the rumors of how good he is... Well, he is all that and a box of goodies too!! And a hell a personality
to boot! But when he meets Mary... Well, let's jus say that all the success in the world could not prepare him for her. He wants to give her the world and so much more, but will his on stage persona kill the relationship before it even starts... <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This
is a wonderfully crafted story of two people who meet and instantly feel
tingles in places there shouldn't be... At least not to someone you only just met, right? :) Mary and Damien will give you a run for your money in this delicious story. To watch these two do the dance of
dating is amazing... One has to prove that his past is just that... His past...
The other has to decide what she is willing to handle for the price of love...
Is he worth it, is the relationship worth it... This story is priceless as it
involves everyone... Down to the Mama's!</div>

being the strongest being in existence. It could get a little boring, right?
The Guardians knew this all too well. After centuries of unrivaled
governance, the Guardians began to turn on each other. Their sadistic leader
played his men like pawns and war soon swallowed the kingdom. When the
Guardians flushed out all the corrupt, they were cast out into the unexplored
realms beyond the kingdom. From that point on the realms were split between the
two opposing sides, the Guardians and the Fallen. Little did they know there
was one more player, the humans. Earth rested smack in the middle of the two
territories and the two seemed intent on tearing it to pieces as they deemed
the new-found planet their battleground. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Azalea
Johnson is no typical human, but that’s news to her. In fact, the humans are
completely unaware of the war that is threatening their existence. Since its
beginning, the war has been fought in secret. It is kept hidden, fought on the
very edges of human existence. The Guardians fought to keep the humans out of
direct fire, but the Fallen’s influence did not go completely unnoticed. Their
tainted energy began to change the humans. They learned to hate and lie, and
the human’s corruption only fed the Fallen’s numbers. When the Guardians
discovered that they may in fact lose the war, they too took advantage of the
impressionable humans … but they took it a step further. They created a human. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Azalea
is born with a bright red target on her back and spends 18 long years on Earth
blissfully unaware of what she is. She was created with the ability to possess
the power of each of the Guardian elders. She is an unparalleled weapon whose
loyalty will ultimately determine the outcome of the war… but there is just one
problem. Being human means Azalea was born with a touch of the Fallen’s tainted
energy, and being able to harness the power of both the Guardians and the
Fallen makes her vulnerable to both. When the Guardians, desperate to protect
their insurance, steal Azalea away from earth, the question remains. Were all
of the tainted Guardians removed during their revolt, or is there something
stronger brewing?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;">I’m convinced cracking the cover of a book speeds up time. I can’t tell
you how many times I’ve opened a book thinking I’d read for an hour and then
looked up only to find its 3 a.m. I probably have more loves than any girl
should, but reading, travel, fashion, and just getting lost (even if it’s only
in my own head) top the list. Also I’m expecting to spend at least one year
living in a major city, and at least one more in a secluded little mountain
town. So, I guess it’s safe to say my future plans are far from set in stone. I
don’t know where I’ll end up, but I’ve learned that planning for the
destination is much less important than picking with road I’ll take to get
there. Hey, I did say I liked getting lost. (Grin). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a war you didn’t believe was yours to fight, but would save millions? She did. </span><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;">Imagine being the strongest being in existence. It could get
a little boring, right? The Guardians knew this all too well. After centuries
of unrivaled governance, the Guardians began to turn on each other. Their
sadistic leader played his men like pawns and war soon swallowed the kingdom.
When the Guardians flushed out all the corrupt, they were cast out into the
unexplored realms beyond the kingdom. From that point on the realms were split
between the two opposing sides, the Guardians and the Fallen. Little did they
know there was one more player, the humans. Earth rested smack in the middle of
the two territories and the two seemed intent on tearing it to pieces as they
deemed the new-found planet their battleground.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Azalea Johnson is no typical human, but that’s
news to her. In fact, the humans are completely unaware of the war that is
threatening their existence. Since its beginning, the war has been fought in
secret. It is kept hidden, fought on the very edges of human existence. The
Guardians fought to keep the humans out of direct fire, but the Fallen’s
influence did not go completely unnoticed. Their tainted energy began to change
the humans. They learned to hate and lie, and the human’s corruption only fed
the Fallen’s numbers. When the Guardians discovered that they may in fact lose
the war, they too took advantage of the impressionable humans … but they took
it a step further. They created a human.</span></span><b><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size: 12pt;">It takes quite a
bit of emotion for me to write. Usually, I’ll plug in my headphones until I can
really get my thoughts together. For me, writing is connecting with that
perpective and becoming the character, so whatever emotion you’re reading about
is running through me as I write.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

hilarious, and honestly I have no idea where her character came from. But she

Aaron is sort of tricky. He is constantly concerned and thinking of the future,

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I've
always loved reading. Books are the one place where a person can be whoever
they want. Anything and everything you want to find, whether its magic,
witches, unicorns, vampires, superheros, or angels, you can find hiding in the
worlds stored in rows on your shelves. Growing up I wrote silly little
stories that I always just tossed aside, until one day an idea struck me that I
simply couldn't shake. It followed me everywhere continuing to build until I
finally gave in, picked up my laptop and started typing. Four years later I've
built a world I hope all of you will enjoy getting lost in and love as much as
I do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I suppose I should tell you a little bit
more about myself. I love art and travel. It's my goal to see every inch of
this world before I leave. Fashion is my morning obsession as I dot my floor
with shoes and drape clothes over every available surface in my room while I
try to assemble an outfit. Reading is my free time.
I'm convinced cracking the cover of a book speeds up time. In those
rare moments when there is nothing to do, and I'm bored with this world, I
spend time in another. Finally, I am a compulsive daydreamer who is constantly
absorbed into and lost in my thoughts. Without a map or compass, I just explore
so that when I find my way out, I can recreate that world on paper. I love to
write ... shocker (grin), but most importantly I love meeting new
people, so please check out the links above and say hi.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
