Release Day Blitz: Fighting Fate by Carrie Ann Ryan
A Redwood Pack Novel, Book 7
Blurb:
With her blue-black hair and striking green eyes, Cailin Jamenson is the epitome of beauty and the exemplar of strength. She has fought the enforced boundaries of being the lone Jamenson daughter and Redwood Pack princess, but it is the potential future with the dark wolf in her path that threatens everything she thought she desired.
Logan Anderson’s own darkness provided the reasoning for his abandonment of his former Pack, the Talons. Now, newly accepted into the Redwood Pack, this jade-eyed wolf and all she represents could be his own undoing.
In this final installment of the Redwood Pack, unimaginable tragedy strikes, and the two wolves who have fought the longest for their independence now face the uncertainty of fate and the epic battle that could end the war… and their lives.

Author Bio:
USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.
Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.

It is getting closer. While I refuse to look and see how quickly AAD is coming (I have WAY too much going on before that) I did want to get the info out there. Coming soon I’ll be sharing interview posts from some of the authors attending. My date is in July so hopefully I’ll be settled into a new place and life will be getting back on track.
In the mean time check out this lovely poster/flyer Robin Ludwig made for the event listing the featured authors!

WIP: Finding More
Tiger Nip, Book 3
Ben didn’t know how right he was when he told Carolline her world was going to get busy. It was pretty much turned upside down. There was never a moment when she was left alone at work. Ben decided she could be in danger, that whoever attempted to kidnap Devon’s children would come after her for interrupting their plans.
The man who was arrested was still refusing to talk. The only strong lead they were working off of was a tattoo that was more like a brand burned into his left side.

WIP: Finding More
Tiger Nip, Book 3
“Now that you’ve finally admitted I was right all along, how about you convince me to move here?” A grin kicked up the corner of Jack’s mouth and Devon knew it wouldn’t take much to get his friend on board with moving his practice.

Exciting News!!!
I’m joining the Decadent Publishing family. I have signed a contract with Decadent for one of their new lines, Decadent ROAR!!!!!!!!! This will be my first ever story published with a publisher. I’m equal parts excited and terrified.
DECADENT ROAR:
The tales in Decadent Roar explore college life and beyond from the shapeshifter or were-shifter’s point of view. What’s it like to be away from the pack? What freedoms can be explored? What dangers lurk? Do you pledge a fraternity? What about a sorority? Does this college happen to have a shifter-only spot on Greek row? Through parties to mid-terms, to discovering who they are, characters in a Decadent Roar tale will take you on a journey through college love, the ups and the downs, and what happens when everything you thought you knew turns out to be even more difficult than you would have believed?
I hope you’ll join me on this new adventure in publishing. Make sure you sign up for my newsletter to stay up to date with what’s going on. Newsletter

Cover Reveal: Guarding Mari by Ella Grey
Guarding Mari
A killer is on the hunt for Mari, the doctor to the Black Paw Pack. It will take the combined efforts of Mari and her mate, a man she hasn’t seen in three years to keep her safe.
Blurb
Three years is a long time to be away from your mate.
Mari has been living half a life.
A doctor before she was infected with the werewolf virus, Mari is now the target of a deranged serial killer. The night held one bright moment, she met Daniel Greyborn, the other half of her soul.
Daniel wants a life time with his mate.
He made a difficult decision when he left Mari with the Black Paw Pack. When he finds a body on his compound he knows that Ryback is back and it’s time to finish what happened three years ago.
But are they about to underestimate a killer?
Excerpt
Mari smiled at him. “Hello Daniel.” She sat up and pulled off her shirt and bra. He darted forward catching her nipple between his teeth. Her fingers were in his hair as her back arched pushing it into his mouth before Daniel was pushed away. The change between human and wolf was seamless. Her fur was a dusky gold and the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen. Mari jumped off the table. She glanced over her shoulder. Her eyes were full of mischief. Daniel stripped out of the rest of his clothes. Her challenge was clear.
Catch me if you can, Greyborn.

Saving Kat
Adam Reece, Alpha of The Black Paw Pack, follows all the rules but he can’t resist teasing Katherine Moon. Pack law frowns on wolves and witches mating so the resident Earth Witch has become his friend and confidant, nothing more.
Life is good. Kat’s blessed by the Goddess who connects her to the earth and the wolf pack she watches over, even the Alpha who only seems happy when he’s pestering her. But she wants more—namely the forbidden attention of a certain steadfast Alpha with a boyish grin. Too bad crossing that line isn’t an option.
When a tragic accident threatens to steal her from him forever, Adam must make the hard decision—save Kat or lose her forever, even if she never forgives him.

Release Review – Books that caught my eye
I have been slacking on writing blogs and posting things. Today I decided to do a Release Review of book that caught my eye.
Some Like It Scandalous by Heather Long
Release Date: 5 May
Not every girl wants to marry a prince.
After Anna Novak discovered that her fun-loving college sweetheart was actually the Grand Duke Armand Dagmar, she fled. Now, her work directing a scholarship foundation forces her to meet with the lost love of her life. Face to face, her body remembers what her heart has struggled to forget.
Armand regrets hiding his identity from Anna, but cherishes the memory of being loved as a man, not a prince. Unable to resist, he uses his family’s influence to see her again and relies on their shared history to bring her back into his arms.
Anna refuses to trust her feelings for a man who never really existed. But when news of their reunion reaches the paparazzi prematurely, the Dagmar family’s enemies are paying attention. Scandal and mortal danger are parts of his life that Armand never wanted to share with Anna, but now he may be forced to protect her…even from himself.
Make Damn Sure by SA Price
Its’ been ten years since Nyx Deveraux had the night of her life with a guy who was elusive as smoke. 10 years since she was rocked, utterly. Every man since then has been lacking, and Nyx has been chasing the devastation she felt since. No now compares to the one night only man that haunts her dreams.

A fight that could mean certain destruction for life as they know it.
Her Only Desire by Delilah Devlin
The moment Tilly Floret sees the sleek Bentley driving down Main Street, she knows trouble has arrived in her sleepy little town. A mysterious job posting keeps appearing at the diner where she works, and she can’t resist applying. No matter that the entire town of Bayou Vert is whispering about the wealthy powerful man behind it all and his scandalous return home. The moment his ice-blue eyes meet hers, he ignites an all-consuming desire she never imagined possible, one she can’t deny.
Ex-Navy SEAL Boone Benoit never thought he’s set foot in Louisiana again. As soon as Tilly starts her new job in his pleasure club, he senses a kindred soul. One who has carefully guarded secrets of her own-and a simmering hunger for the taboo rites of mastery and submission. The only difference is she doesn’t yet know it. Now as Boone tutors Tilly in the tantalizing world of leather and lace, she will shed her every inhibition and surrender to him, body and soul.
