Audible Aurora - Review Opportunity
Em Eldridge just finished narrating Hunting Season (Aurora Sky #4). It's been submitted and takes 14-20 business days to go through ACX's quality check. Once more, Em nailed it! She captures the humor and sarcasm of Aurora and the gang perfectly. Her reading brings it all to life.
While waiting for the audiobook to go live, I'd like to offer readers a chance to listen and review any (or all) of the first three Aurora Sky audiobooks (Aurora Sky, Northern Bites, Bad Blood).
I have a limited number of free download codes from Audible. If you are serious about listening and reviewing, click the top right envelope icon to email me or send me a message on my Facebook author page or leave a message with a way to contact you in comments below. (My Goodreads in-box is overflowing and not a good way to reach me. Thanks!)

Practice Safe Sex. Sleep with a Vampire.
Practice safe sex.
Sleep with a vampire.
FANE SMILED when he saw my expression. “Don’t
forget, I know all about you and your stash of Trojans.”
I’d
nearly forgotten about my pit stop at the Jewel Lake Quickie Mart on my way to
Scott Steven’s house. Fane had the unfortunate timing of buying smokes at the
same time I was buying protection.
“Your
face turned so red when you saw me in line behind you,” Fane said. “Sorta like
it’s doing right now.”
He
reached his hand forward to touch my cheek. I uncrossed my arms and batted it
away.
“That’s
because I’d just come in from the cold,” I said.
Fane
shook his head. “You were embarrassed.”
“You
were an ass.”
“Don’t
forget, I offered to drive you home. Should have taken me up on it.”
I
sucked in a breath.
Fane
moved his chin back and forth as though saying, you know I’m right.
In
the end, it would have been better to return home. I could have avoided the
worst sex ever. I didn’t have anything to compare it to, but I was convinced it
couldn’t get worse than Scott Stevens. Doing him ranked somewhere up there with
stabbing a vampire to death.
Schools
ought to hire me to preach abstinence.
“Hey guys, don’t do it. It sucks—unless you meet a
nice vampire because he probably knows what he’s doing and I bet he does it
really well. Plus you won’t get pregnant or any STD’s. Remember, don’t take him
to bed, unless he’s undead.”
