Last summer I had a ball discussing books with all you fabulous readers. Summer is fast approaching and I'm ready for a beach read or two. Should we do book club again this year? How can we improve it from last year?

Beverly at Sizzling Hot Books Said:

"Seduced by a Cajun Werewolf is a steamy novella of hot and peppery love. Love on the run, family squabbles and the mixing of vampires, werewolves and humans keeps Seduced by a Cajun Werewolf hopping and not only in bed! I enjoyed the stubbornness of both Laurent and Cayenne. Laurent's cockiness just makes him more irresistible. Seduced by a Cajun Werewolf is a spicy chase from New Orleans to the Cajun Bayou."

Thanks Beverly!

Laurie from Bitten by Paranormal Romance is one of the co-hosts for the Spring Fling Blog Hop with me next week and I thought it would be wonderful to get to know her better.  So Welcome!

Why blogging? No really, why?

This one is really hard for me to answer because when I started my blog I really had no clue what blogging was. I just wanted somewhere to put my reviews so I could share them with my friends. I never in my life dreamed it would grow to reach out to so many people around the world, but I'm glad it did because I have been able to meet so many wonderful people that share my love in reading my genre in these last few years. After I found out the ins and outs into blogging I am glad I did it because I have been able to introduce everyone even me to so much new reading material and authors because of blogging.

What's the biggest pet peeve you've developed as a reviewer?

I have to say it would be a book not being edited. If someone is going to throw a story out there you better have an editor on hand, if you're self-published or not the books needs the editors touch and I don't care how much you say you're good in grammar and I am sure you are but an editor's knows things you don't when it comes to fine tunes of editing a book.

What's the one thing you've always wanted to do?

The top thing on your bucket list? I have several things but if I had to narrow it down I have to say snow skiing. I have always wanted to try it.

Fantasy time. Which fictional character is most likely to appear in your dreams?

Hmmm… Thinking…. Still thinking…. It's not that's it hard I just really don't see any of the hero's I read as someone that I want to be in my dreams because I would want a real man in there LOL. So, back to thinking… Okay dokie, I know I can do this; all I need is to pull out one out of over 1,000 books that I have read in the last 4 years, Yeah right that's not going to be easy LOL… Looking on my favorite book shelf now surly I can pull one out there. By George I think I have found him. He's in my most worn book, so you know it has to be the one *wicked grin* His name is Vane Kattalakis book would be Night Play by Sherrilyn Kenyon. If I would want any of them in my dreams it would most definitely be him. I'm just glad you didn't ask who is in my dreams because I was so not going there LOL…

 And anything else you want to add?

Read as much as you can because there always an adventure waiting for you to discover.

"I enjoyed the give and take between Juliette and Andre and the hot passion between them. The look at how they met as pups and the way their relationship grows and burns throughout their lives. The undying love between Andre and Juliette and the sparks of their passion make  Mated to a Cajun Werewolf another must read of the Stormy Weather stories."

Thanks Beverly!

The Cajun's Captive is now available on the Kindle and Nook! If you didn't enjoy this story the first time it was published, take advantage of this rerelease and super low price (only $.99!) Same fabulous story, new formats and ultra low price. Sound good?

Sebastian Deveraux is the Alpha of his pack and like all the Deveraux men, he's sexy as pure sin. He's waited for decades for just the right woman. For his mate. And ten years ago he'd been sure he'd found her in Amanda St. James. But she'd run from him.

Now she's back. He'll do anything to keep her. Even if it means tying her to his bed.
