Bakra Bride is back!

Bakra Bride, the second book in the steamy Tapestries series, is available today! This book was published before but hasn't been available for a couple of years. I'm so glad it's back!

After witnessing a gruesome murder, Jane Smith has watched her life crumble around her. Her only solace is the stunning and mysterious tapestry she discovered at a thrift store. When the image stitched into the tapestry magically comes to life one night, Jane finds herself transported to a mystical Medieval world, where two massive warriors declare their intentions to cater to her every sensual desire.
Zaren and Bador are stunned to realize that the prophecy of the tapestry has come true and brought Jane to them. The brothers willingly accept their duty to indulge her in every possible form of passion. But Jane’s arrival has also attracted the attention of rival warriors, who will go to any lengths to steal her from the Bakra brothers and claim her as their own.
As Jane adjusts to this frightening but enthralling world, Zaren and Bador risk all to protect her—even as they use all their sexual skill, separately and together, to take her to unimagined sensual heights. Because the time for Jane to choose is drawing near, and the Bakra brothers must convince her to abandon her former life—and take one of them as her loving husband for all time . . .

Weekend Book Club--Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston

I read HOT AND BADGERED by Shelly Laurenston when it was first released but forgot to post about it, but better late than never. I absolutely LOVE her writing. I've read all The Pride Series and the Call of Crows.

Hot and Badgered is the start of her Honey Bader Chronicles. If you haven't read any of her books, no worries. You can jump right in with this one. But if you've read her Pride series, you'll recognize many of the secondary characters.

If you love paranormal books that are quirky, funny, and smart with lots of action, you must read these books.

BLURB:

It’s not every day that a beautiful naked woman falls out of the sky and lands face-first on grizzly shifter Berg Dunn’s hotel balcony. Definitely they don’t usually hop up and demand his best gun. Berg gives the lady a grizzly-sized t-shirt and his cell phone, too, just on style points. And then she’s gone, taking his XXXL heart with her. By the time he figures out she’s a honey badger shifter, it’s too late.

Honey badgers are survivors. Brutal, vicious, ill-tempered survivors. Or maybe Charlie Taylor-MacKilligan is just pissed that her useless father is trying to get them all killed again, and won’t even tell her how. Protecting her little sisters has always been her job, and she’s not about to let some pesky giant grizzly protection specialist with a network of every shifter in Manhattan get in her way. Wait. He’s trying to help? Why would he want to do that? He’s cute enough that she just might let him tag along—that is, if he can keep up . . .

Throwback Thursday--Wolf on the Run

Wolf on the Run features one of my favorite heroes. I'm a sucker for the strong, silent type and Cole Blanchard certainly is that. He uses his great strength to protect his pack and those he loves. While he's a live and let live kind of guy, you don't want to get on his bad side. He's relentless when it comes to seeking justice and protecting those weaker than himself.



 Wolf on the Run Salvation Pack, Book 3

Cherise and her mother had to run from their pack when everyone realized Cherise couldn’t shift. Now her mother’s gone, murdered by the hunters after them, and Cherise is all alone and out of options. When the people she’s running from catch up to her in Salvation, North Carolina, she’s saved by the biggest, baddest werewolf she’s ever seen.
Disposing of the intruders on his pack’s land is easy for Cole, but convincing the skittish woman the trespassers were after that she’s safe is another story. He recognizes her as his mate right off, and he’ll protect her no matter what, even if it means risking everything to face her former pack.
Cherise never thought she’d find a wolf she could trust, but she’s never met a Salvation wolf before now, and her mate is not about to let anything come between them.

Tuesday Teaser--Drakon Unchained

TUESDAY TEASER: Drakon Unchained. Releasing August 27th. (Pre-order now.)


Luther was a big man—he had to be at least six and a half feet tall—but there was more to him than just brawn. There was keen intelligence in his steel-blue eyes. He said little, but saw everything.

That was why he was so dangerous.

Movie Monday--Christopher Robin

I saw the new Christopher Robin movie. It's wonderful, lovely, and poignant. It was sad and happy and hopeful. I loved it!

Weekend Book Club--Wicked and the Wallflower by Sarah MacLean and An Affair with a Spare by Shana Galen

This past week was all about the historical romance and I read two wonderful books--Wicked and the Wallflower and An Affair with a Spare.

The first was Wicked and The Wallflower, the first book in the Bareknuckle Bastards series by Sarah Maclean. I love Sarah MacLean's books but I think she's outdone herself with this one--dark and dangerous with a heroine you will love. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Next came An Affair with a Spare by Shana Galen. This book was delightful, complex, and a perfect addition to the series.


WICKED AND THE WALLFLOWER, 
Bareknuckle Bastards Book 1 by Sarah MacLean

BLURB:

When Wicked Comes Calling . . .
When a mysterious stranger finds his way into her bedchamber and offers his help in landing a duke, Lady Felicity Faircloth agrees—on one condition. She’s seen enough of the world to believe in passion, and won’t accept a marriage without it.
 
The Wallflower Makes a Dangerous Bargain . . .
Bastard son of a duke and king of London’s dark streets, Devil has spent a lifetime wielding power and seizing opportunity, and the spinster wallflower is everything he needs to exact a revenge years in the making. All he must do is turn the plain little mouse into an irresistible temptress, set his trap, and destroy his enemy.
 
For the Promise of Passion . . .
But there’s nothing plain about Felicity Faircloth, who quickly decides she’d rather have Devil than another. Soon, Devil’s carefully laid plans are in chaos and he must choose between everything he's ever wanted . . . and the only thing he's ever desired.


AN AFFAIR WITH A SPARE (The Survivors) by Shana Galen

BLURB:

He’s turned seduction into an art form…

Rafe Beaumont, fifth son of an earl, uses his irresistible charm with the ladies to glean dangerous war secrets. Now he’s putting those skills to the ultimate test: capturing an elusive assassin by seducing his daughter. The problem? She’s entirely immune to Rafe’s flattery.
 
Never before has Collette Fortier met a man as attractive as Rafe. But her father’s life is at stake, and succumbing to Rafe would be disastrous. But when Rafe turns the tables on her, offering support and friendship instead of a fleeting affair, Collette finds herself tempted in ways she never could have imagined…

Throwback Thursday--Wolf from the Past

While I love all my books--I wrote them after all--there are some that are special. One of those books is Wolf from the Past, book 4 of the Salvation Pack series. There is just something extra special about Gator Rollins. He's laidback for the most part, but make no mistake, he is one dangerous werewolf, especially when those he loves are threatened. And he can cook. He surprised me with that tidbit when I was writing the series. :-)


Wolf from the Past Salvation Pack, Book 4

For years, everyone believed Sylvie LaForge Dubois was dead, and she worked hard to keep it that way. Now that her abusive, dangerous mate is dead, she’s come back to face everyone. But it’s harder than she thought it would be, especially when Gator Rollins watches her every move, making her uneasy and excited all at once. She never imagined she’d want another man, but her attraction to Gator is too strong to fight.  Before Gator had the chance to tell Sylvie how he felt about her, she was mated to someone else and then killed. Now she’s back, and there’s nothing he won’t do to protect her and get that second chance he never thought he’d have.

But Sylvie is in more danger than ever when her old pack learns she’s still alive And if they get to her, there’s no coming back from the dead twice.
