5 Stars for Damek's Redemption
Long and Short Reviews has given Damek's Redemption 5 Stars!"This story is filled with passion, danger, secrets and some visits with old friends at Haven...As the hunters close in on Sonia, the action escalates, and it is here where Ms. Walters’ story really shines, with building levels of passion, danger and hidden agendas ready to explode off the page. This has plenty of hot romance, layered with tender and sweet moments, and scorching hot bedroom scenes."

5 Blue Ribbons for Fabric of Fate
Romance Junkies has given Fabric of Fatea 5 Blue Ribbon review!
"Those of us who have been charmed as well as addicted to Ms. Walters Tapestry series wanted more than the brief glimpse of the Dannon brothers we had from a previous novel...I love that the series manages to stay fresh with each installment. Though these novels are hot; there is a complex melding of deeper emotions than just lust woven into Ms. Walters’ writing."

Thank you Claudette and Romance Junkies.

Tuesday Teaser: Have Mercy
This week the Tuesday Teaser is from my Ellora's Cave book Have Mercy. This book is part of the Project Alpha trilogy.
TEASER:
Mercy was standing at the woodstove in the kitchen, stirring a large kettle of oatmeal, when she sensed a disturbance in the air. There was no sound, nothing out of the ordinary to alert her, but the light hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. Slowly, she released the ladle, letting it rest against the side of the pot. In what she hoped was a casual move, she took a step to the side. Several large knives rested on the chopping block. She wrapped her fingers around the handle of the largest one, using her body to shield her actions.
The wood in the stove crackled and the water in the kettle hissed. Mercy tucked the knife down by her side as she turned. If it was one of the children playing, she didn’t want to frighten them.
Before she had the chance to turn all the way around, strong fingers gripped her wrist, exerting enough pressure to keep her hand by her side but not enough to hurt her. Mercy knew who was behind her. Impossible. She’d left Logan weak and wounded, tied to a bed.
“What now?” His tone was mild. He was so large his body seemed to surround hers. Not for the first time in her life, she cursed her small size. He was a big man, about a foot taller than her. That didn’t mean she was helpless though. Not by a long shot.

4 1/2 Stars for Finding Chrissten
Long and Short Reviews has given Finding Chrissten a 4 1/2 star review! Here's a snippet of what the review has to say:"There is danger around every corner, and yet, when it shows up, it still comes as a surprise. This has a satisfying wrap up of the story started in Quinn’s Quest, and there is plenty of passion and hot sex, as Ms. Walters does so very well. The loose ends of the mad scientist and the rogue alpha pack are well handled, and the happy ever after in this one is hard won and extremely well deserved. I do look forward to more in Ms. Walters’ Legacy world..."

Bonfire Night
Today is Guy Fawkes Night, aka bonfire night. If you're having a bonfire, please be safe. It's a strange holiday. It goes back to November 5, 1605 when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot was arrested while placing explosives beneaht the House of Lords in London. It had all kinds of political and religious implications at the time. I remember it as the night of the community bonfire when I was a kid. Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...
