THE EMERGENT THREAT by J.F Cain

by J.F CainGenre: Romantic Fantasy Adventure

Alex risked his soul to reunite with Aranes, the angel he’s in love with, forcing her to make the ultimate sacrifice to save him. Having lost her supernatural powers, Guardians and Exorcists fight tooth and nail to protect her, but they cannot keep the dark forces that are after her away for long.
Aranes’ relationship with Alex also puts him in the crosshairs of Lucifer, who wants the angel for himself and plans to destroy his rival, even if he doesn’t believe that the man is the incarnation of the high-ranking Celestial, Abaddon.
Alex must push himself beyond his limits and use all his wits to thwart Lucifer’s plans. He may be just an ordinary man, but he won't give up his partner without a fight. He’s willing to pay any price, any price except for losing her.

“OK, I’ve arranged everything,” he said happily as he came back to her. He sat down, drank the remaining coffee in his cup and refilled it. He then looked at Aranes’ cup, which was empty. “Would you like me to pour you some?” he asked, annoyed with himself for not noticing it. “From what I remember, you like it.”
“You got the wrong message through no fault of yours. That morning in the cabin I drank coffee to look normal. There’s no longer any reason for me to do it; I am normal now.”
Alex quirked an eyebrow and looked at her, about to burst into laughter.
“Anyway, as normal as an incarnated Angel can be,” Aranes added.
Alex reached out with his left hand, grabbed her chair’s armrest and pulled it towards him. He then wrapped his arms around her waist and came as close to her as the armrests between them would allow.
“My love, I assure you that your anatomy is somewhat above and beyond normal. I made a thorough check last night.”
His innuendo surprised Aranes and it showed on her face.
Alex saw that change in her expression and was abruptly serious.
“What’s wrong, my angel? Did I say something that offended you?” he asked worriedly.
“No, I’m just not used to people speaking to me this way… all this is more or less new to me.”Alex’s heart pounded.
“Is there something you regret?”
“My position doesn’t allow me to make frivolous decisions,” Aranes replied reassuringly, sensing his worry. “In every situation I do what I think is right or necessary.”
“Is it right for an Angel to love a mortal?” he asked, his expression calm, but the anxiety in his voice betrayed his inner turmoil.
“I love all beings,” Aranes answered, her kind, warm eyes lighting up with beautiful emotions. “I just love you differently, and for that to happen there must be a serious reason.”
Alex’s anxiety had reached its peak.
“And what is the reason?”
“I can’t say anything with certainty right now,” was Aranes’ response. She could, but she didn’t want to frighten him. It would be better for him if the revelations came in stages, if he was lucky. “What I am sure about is that our love will bring many changes, both in the physical and in the ethereal planes.”
The first part of her answer disappointed Alex. But from the little he grasped in the second part, he held on to the words “our love”, which he liked a lot.
“So you don’t regret anything,” he said, searching her eyes for confirmation.
Aranes saw the vein pulsing rapidly at the base of his neck and wanted to save him from the anxiety tormenting him once and for all.
“I love you,” she stated, looking him in the eye with an expression that left no room for doubt.
Alex felt all the wonderful feelings that such a statement brings out in a man who is madly in love. He slipped his hand behind her neck, brought her face close to his and gave her a long, deep kiss, filling her mouth with passionate love. Like a lit match falling on flammable material that instantly catches fire, his hunger blazed. He wanted her like mad, but he held himself in check. He was scared he would frighten her with his unflagging desire to make love to her. She wasn’t an ordinary woman. She was something different, something superior. He had to treat her accordingly, and limiting his heated demonstrations of his feelings would be a good start.

Alex Meyers, a dynamic, global entrepreneur, has an advantage that no other human has ever had: he is protected by Aranes, the Superior of the Angels. While he is skiing, he dies in an avalanche, but his all-powerful protector breaks one of the ethereal world’s most important Rules and brings him back to life. Alex falls head over heels in love with the beautiful Angel, who appears to him in human form. But she disappears just as suddenly as she had appeared.
While he searches for Aranes, Alex discovers her true identity and that he actually might be the high-ranking Celestial Abaddon, who is mentioned in the Revelations prophecy as the one who will defeat Lucifer.
The man who fate has thrust among the world’s superpowers is now living a nightmare. He wants to evade Lucifer’s pursuit, find out who he truly is and once again see the only being he has ever loved. And the only way to do it is to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Angels' Whispers is the beginning of an epic tale set in modern times. The eternal war between Light and Darkness is at a critical turning point: Angels and Demons, invisible to mortal beings, battle for dominance in the physical world, while Guardians, vampires and werewolves, who live among the humans, find themselves on opposing sides in a deadly power game.

J. F. Cain is a writer with a restless mind who spent years of her life reading and traveling. But of all the places she has been to, her favorite is a house in the mountains where she can focus on her writing.
She is a seeker of knowledge who transcribes the results of her studies in her books. Her favorite pastime –other than reading and writing– is scouring libraries.
However, she has lately convinced herself that she enjoys shopping just as much, as well as spending time with family and friends – the few that can still tolerate her frequent and extended periods of absence.

The Hardest Fall by Ella Maise


Title: The Hardest FallAuthor: Ella MaiseGenre: Romantic Comedy/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 18, 2018
Blurb
The first time you meet someone, you make eye contact. You smile, say hello. Should be simple, if you’re anyone but me. The first time I met Dylan Reed, I found myself making eye contact with a different part of his body. You see, I’m very good at being shy, not to mention extremely well-versed in rambling nonsense and, unfortunately, rather highly skilled at making a fool of myself in front of a guy I’m attracted to.
At the time, I knew nothing about him and thought none of what I said would matter since I’d never speak to him again. Turns out, I was very wrong. He was the star wide receiver of the football team, one of the few players expected to make it into the NFL, and I ended up seeing him all over campus.I might have also propositioned him, run away from him, attacked him with a cooking utensil…and…uh, maybe I shouldn’t tell you all of it. It’s pretty normal stuff, things you’d expect…from me. Eventually, the time came when I couldn’t hide anymore—not that he’d have let me even if I tried.Before now, he never knew I was secretly watching him. Now that we see each other every day, he knows when I have a hard time looking away. It doesn’t help that I’m not the most subtle person in the world either.
He smiles at me and tells me he finds me fascinating because of my quirks. I can’t even tell him that I think my heart beats differently whenever he’s around.
He thinks we’re going to be best friends. I think I have a big thing for him, and the more I get to know him, the more I don’t care that I’m not allowed to be his friend, let alone fall for him.
The thing is, that’s exactly what I’m doing—what we’re doing, I think.
Falling.
Hard.

Freedom City By Philip Becnel


FREEDOM CITY is an anti-Trump satire that pays homage to The Monkey Wrench Gang.
After Donald Trump unceremoniously dies from natural causes, four misfits from Washington, D.C. who call themselves the Fearless Vampire Killers sever the heads of Confederate statues and wage a comedic guerrilla war on post-Trump America. When President Pence enlists droves of fascist volunteers to crush the “alt-left” uprising, the rebels must risk their lives to run the fascists out of D.C. What follows is not only a battle for survival—but a desperate search for remnants of what once made America great.
About the Author
I was born in San Francisco and raised in Cotati, California, but I spent my formative years in New Orleans and then Northern Virginia. I now live in Washington, D.C., where I've been a private detective for almost twenty years.

FREEDOM CITY, an anti-Trump satire about resistance to American fascism, is my debut novel, but some years ago I published two nonfiction books about investigating: Introduction to Conducting Private Investigations and Principles of Investigative Documentation. I've also published articles in a variety of legal and popular journals, including Time Magazine.

Excerpt
Despite the odium and widespread condemnation of Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, he passed with all the fanfare of a fart in a mesh sack. Medical examiners said it was a thrombotic stroke, likely exacerbated by obesity and high blood pressure. Some said cocaine and opioids had been found in his system, but these reports were never confirmed. Trump was dead, and now it was time to start glossing over his dismal legacy and perpetuating his vision, posthumously, for Making America Great Again…

I received an ARC copy from RABT Book Tours for my honest review, so thank you RABT, Author, and Publishers for offering me this book! I was drawn to this book with its excerpt, the mystery took me in. This is my first series by Margarita Morris and I really enjoyed reading this novel...Fast-paced, and hard to put down.
Scarborough Fair goes back and forth between 2016 and 1899. Rose is on vacation at her Grandmother's house in Scarborough. There she meets Dan and like any teenagers get into trouble but unlike them, they find way more trouble than they want. Rose gets a scrapbook and letters that her great - great - grandmother wrote back in 1899 and a woman she works with disappears. The juxtaposition of Victorian and modern England in the same city is truly enjoyable.
Scarborough Ball picks up where the previous story finished, so there is no let-up in the pace.Rose and dan's adventures are fascinating and Rose's great-grandmother Lilian's storyline brings glamor to the storyline. *I was so excited for the third installment that I started reading it at 1:30 a.m.*
Believe me when I say the last installment Scarborough Rock is the best one in the trilogy. Here we are treated to some more intriguing issues, the plot is a little twisted, heart paces a little faster. When the only simple looking solution brings more issues... but traveling through time is no joke and every action has consequences...Rose and Dan are on a thrilling ride and so was I.
The author has well drawn the atmosphere, the timelines are quite enjoyable, characters sometimes feel packed up but they are so vividly put in their parts, that they totally belong. All in all, the mystery, the alternating timelines, time-traveling, the touch of History, completely made it a well written pacey read and I recommend it to all my friends.

Excerpt
Her hands move up along her back and clip off the bra.When that too tumbles to the floor, my eyes focus on her nipples that tighten as I stare. Her face isn’t red anymore like before. She looks confident, completely at ease. Like she’s not at all afraid of what I’m going to say … as if she already knows I like what I see.Not soon after her panties follow, and I’m finding myself getting a hard-on just watching her stand still in the middle of my office, completely naked and ready to bend to my will.But this girl isn’t here for me, she’s here for my clients.At least … that’s what she wants me to think. But I’m still not convinced.“Turn,” I say, swirling my finger in the air.Her hips sway as she spins on her heels, her thick ass pushing all the right buttons. She’d be a great performer. Definitely.But there is something about her. Something that I can’t let go.Defiance. It seeps through everything she does. The way she walks, how she struts, the way she looks at me with that intent gaze, as if she’s waiting for my reaction and it never comes.Too tough to say no to … but I’m going to have to make the call based on what I know my clients need right now. And this isn’t it.“Pass,” I say.She stays put, the look on her face rapidly changing from confusion to annoyance. “What?”“It’s a no from me,” I say. “Put your clothes back on.”She parts her lips, but again no words flow. Then she slams it shut again and silently picks up her things. No matter how many times I try to divert my eyes back to my laptop so I can continue finishing work, I keep glancing at her as she puts her clothes back on. For some reason I’m agitated, but I have no clue why. The whole room is oozing with an uncomfortable silence, and I don’t like it one bit.As she walks towards the door, I get up. Something compels me to say, “Wait.”What that something is eludes me, but I can’t allow her to leave.She stops in her tracks, still facing away from me, as if my voice was the only thing that made her stay.I step away from my desk and approach her, narrowing my eyes to get a good look. There’s something about her … about her body, her voice, her eyes … and I need to know …“Put your hair up,” I command.Her hand wraps around her brown hair and tugs it up into a ponytail.I don’t even need to see her face to know …It’s her.I place a hand on her shoulder and lean in. A grin spreads across my lips as a rumbling noise leaves my throat. “I know it’s you … Kitten …”
