Indie Spotlight: Monstrous Love

There is a growing trend in romance, and steamy romance in particular, for 'monster' heroes or main characters. Not the psychological monsters that star in dark romance, but actual monsters; spiders, orcs, and in the case of Lillian Lark's Stalked by the Kraken, an tentacled giant squid. Generally, I prefer more classic monsters; vampires, werewolves and such. The premise of this book was so intriguing I had to give it a try.

I was not disappointed. Quirky, edging into rom-com and erotica in places, it has a strong narrative line, solid character and relationship development, and a suspense subplot that make it an enjoyable read. The only flaw; it is a little disjointed in places referring to events that occurred in other books. I doubt that a spider-like love interest will ever work for me, but I may need to check out an orc or two.

A matchmaking witch, an ancient sea creature, and the sex contract they make.

Welcome to the Love Bathhouse where desire and acceptance are in the water.

The Witch

Celibacy is a bad look for a matchmaker.

Especially a matchmaker who works at the kind of paranormal bathhouse that would have grandmothers clutching their pearls. A worse look is a matchmaker experiencing a crisis of confidence. I am that matchmaker.

We need raw magic, desperately.

And now a mysterious man walks into my office, offering me the exact solution I need.
The problem is that he wants to be matched… with me. Matching doesn’t work for me; I found that out the hard way.

The Kraken

I saw her and the creature inside me wanted.

She doesn’t want a relationship. She says that the most we can have are the three nights she promised me, but the dark part of myself isn’t going to let the woman who snared its attention go.

I found her. I hunted her. She’s mine.

Indie Spotlight: RONE Nominees ~ Fantasy/Urban Fantasy

The voting has started for the elevation of RONE Nominees to Finalists. Each year, InD'tale nominates the best of the fiction it has reviewed in the past year. Readers then vote for the finalists that will be judged by a panel of authors and reviewers.

I'm super thrilled that my first foray into Urban Fantasy has made the cut, and more so that it is classed with a such a great selection of books.

Elemental Fire

Sin Marston is a rare human who can see through glamor. With the veil with the treaty of 2010, the magical visitors, known as the Hidden, flowed into the Terran realm. With her unique talent, Sin's services are in demand from businesses and law enforcement with Hidden problems. She also has a growing clientele of Hidden visitors wishing to avoid confrontation with the Human Protection Society and other anti-Hidden Terrans.

After thwarting a daring art heist, Sin encounters a stunning fire elemental who reveals the theft was something very different. Everything she thought she knew changes.

Radzik Cray has lived for centuries, building his magical and political power base. The appointment as the Elders’ Council Warden for the Eastern United States comes with untold wealth and power, as well as untold danger. When he meets Sin Marston, he is interested in a pleasant distraction. Instead, he discovers that Sin is not all she appears and his control over his territory is not as absolute as he thought.

Captain Hook believes he’s found a real treasure in Tink. That is, until he recovers from her pixie dust laced kiss with a curse that turns the seas against him. With his ship and reputation at the mercy of raging storms, he tracks down the little minx and demands she remove the curse. Too bad she can’t.

However, the mermaid queen has a solution to both of their problems, if Tink and Hook will work together to retrieve a magical item for her.

As they venture to the mysterious Shrouded Isles to find the priceless treasure, their shared nemesis closes in. However, his wrath is nothing compared to the realization that achieving their goal may mean losing something they never expected to find—each other.

If they fail these tests, they forfeit their lives to the very place that traps them.

City of Ruin

The night the Prince of the East razed her village, Raina Bloodgood’s life changed forever. Forced into someone else’s war—and into the arms of the Witch Collector, Alexus Thibault—Raina discovered that everything she believed was wrong, and that she was capable of far more than anyone imagined.

To thwart the prince’s endgame and prevent the Tiressian empire from returning to an age of gods, Raina, Alexus, and a band of Northlanders race against the sands of time to reach a mystical desert land where merciless assassins lurk around every corner.

In the midst of tragedy, Raina and Alexus fight to stay together and alive, all while a nefarious presence follows them straight to the jeweled gates of the Summerland queen’s citadel—the City of Ruin. With much to fear, it’s the terror of a past she shouldn't remember that Raina cannot cast from her dreams.

A past that's determined to find her. One way or another.

A Night of Wings and Starlight

Breaking the curse will risk her heart, her life, and the future she never thought possible.

Indie Romance Spotlight: Marriage of Inconvenience

There is something about lords and ladies in historical romance that is endlessly appealing.
There are so many entries in this sub-genre of romance that they tend to run together; not as in a satisfying 'adheres to the tropes' but as in 'a week later I can't remember what it was about'.

Happily, Sorcha Mowbray's Lustful Lords hits that sweet spot between reliable and creative with just enough modern sensibility for the steamy bits to be steamy.

His brother's untimely death leaves him with an Earldom and a fiancée. Too bad he wants neither of them...

Theodora Lawton has no need of a husband. As an independent woman, she wants to own property, make investments and be the master of her destiny. Unfortunately, her father signed her life away in a marriage contract to the future Earl of Stonemere. But then the cad upped and died, leaving her fate in the hands of his brother, one of the renowned Lustful Lords.

Achilles Denton, the Earl of Stonemere, is far more prepared to be a soldier than a peer. Deeply scarred by his last tour of duty, he knows he will never be a proper, upstanding pillar of the empire. Balanced on the edge of madness, he finds respite by keeping a tight rein on his life, both in and out of the bedroom. His brother’s death has left him with responsibilities he never wanted and isn’t prepared to handle in the respectable manner expected of a peer.

Further complicating his new life is an unwanted fiancée who comes with his equally unwanted title. Saddled with a hand-me-down countess, he soon discovers the woman is a force unto herself. As he grapples with the burden of his new responsibilities, he discovers someone wants him dead. The question is, can he stay alive long enough to figure out who’s trying to kill him while he tries to tame his headstrong wife?

Sneak Peek 2 ~ CHRYS

My latest work in progress is coming right along.

Working blurb: A hero of the battle for the Thirteenth System, Chrys anticipates a bright future achieving his wildest ambitions. Instead, a mysterious bequest from the Master Scholar who trained him, calls Chrys home to Genji at the outer edge of the Thirteen Systems.
✨Alpha males can be scientists
✨Friends to lovers

✨✨✨✨

Chrys shifted his weight, feinting right. His grinning opponent kicked into the opening. Chrys grasped the flying calf with his left hand, and slammed his right into the smug warrior’s shoulder, tossing him on his ass.

With a sharp whistle, the training master called a halt. “Well done, Chrys.”

Leaping to his feet, Rigel frowned. “That was a brawler’s tactic, not one of a warrior.

Expression stern, the training master asked, “Unusual move. Where did you learn it?”

Chrys maintained his neutral expression. “From the free-traders. They employ a version of free-boxing.”

Rigel’s derisive laugh was echoed by several others. “Free-traders are no better than common brawlers.” He glanced at the training master. “I should cry foul.”

The master shook his head. “This is an expert class. Any move that does not risk maiming or use teeth is permitted.” He glanced toward Chrys. “It is the mark of an able combatant to mix martial disciplines for the greatest advantage.”

His laughter fading, Rigel made a show of gathering water and a towel before exiting.

As seigneur Marco’s protégé, Rigel equaled Chrys’ cartel rank. Rigel was also a warrior and distant kin to Monsignor Lucius, where Chrys was but a commoner. Rigel expected Chrys’ deference. The warrior had no idea what to do with Chrys’ bland courtesy. For truth, Chrys had yearned to lesson more than one smug warrior over the years, but this was the first opportunity since he achieved protégé status and could act on his impulse.

A soft laugh accompanied a hand settling on his bicep. Sky blue eyes filled with mischief gazed up at him. “You enjoyed that far too much.”

Verity. Average height, with her black curls and lustrous complexion, her doll-like appearance had caused more than one to underestimate her sharp mind and combat fierceness. The Iron Hammer engineering associate had been Chrys’ friend and ally since his fourth season as a Blooded Dagger apprentice. She is one of the few who can see through his carefully controlled expressions. “He insists on underestimating commoners. He did naught to aid Blythe, treating her as no more than a servitor.”

Verity’s expression dimmed. Along with all those of Thornscore, she mourned the death of a woman who died defending Lilian. “She was a mere apprentice, but she had two years of service with Seigneur Marco and Bright Star when Rigel joined the cartel. He had naught to offer and was too proud to learn aught from her. Could you strike harder the next time?”

“It would give me great pleasure.” Grabbing water and a towel, he inclined his head toward the door. “Another class will be coming.

Indie Spotlight: Slow-burn Romantic Suspense

I found Code of Conduct intriguing when it showed up in the 2020 RONE nominations. It was better than the blurb. Book one of the Cipher Security series, the character development was nuanced and compelling, the slow-burn romance between the MCs believable and the plot tightly written.

There are three things you need to know about Shane P.I.
1) P.I. is not her last name, it’s her job title,
2) Her specialty is catching cheaters, and
3) She’s a superhuman – kind of.

Gabriel is a security expert for Cipher Security, and a former UN Peacekeeper with a fierce protective streak that finds its focus on the beautiful P.I.

Their attraction is like an elephant in a room full of breakable things, and figuring out how to trust each other with their hearts, and maybe their lives, is the most fragile thing of all.

***

Pushing away from his desk, Chrys braced his palms against the window, concentrating on the cool glass to contain his desire to punch a wall. The low gray clouds shrouding the commerce buildings reflected his mood. He has not forgotten Marcella, but her death over three years ago was a quiet ache. A tender recollection of an impossible dream. There was a time he would have done anything to please her. Even now, he feels the draw of faded passion blended with obligation.

It was impossible. In addition to his duty to Blooded Dagger cartouche and Serengeti cartel, there was Thornscore. Now, there was this alert from the Genji Institute. He could not possibly respond to the alert from the Genji Institute, and it was even more impossible to refuse.

A distinctive chirp interrupted his thoughts. Lilian Thornraven.

Indie Spotlight: Winter Fairytale Retellings

The dark months around the winter solstice are often associated with the merriment and festivities of the yuletide or Christmas time. But those traditions are based in an ancient need to use light chase away the darkness--and what lurks in that darkness. In Cassandra Chandler's steamy trilogy, Court of the Yuletide Fae, the author visits three dark winter tales and the popular trend to turn monsters into heroes.

Starting with The Yule Cat the author takes a terrifying Iceland folktale of a child eating monster cat and turns it into a fae/human romance complete with Santa and Christmas cookies. But watch out for the Winter Queen, she's every bit as scary as the Snow Queen.

The White Stag moves into Celtic traditions where the appearance of the stag is an indicator that the Otherworld is near and capturing it grants wishes. In the dark month of January, the shape-shifting stag is all alpha-male and a divorced woman's wish come true.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, The Krampus, re-invents the half-goat, half-demon monster that punishes misbehaving children at Christmastime into a grumpy shape-shifting polar bear about to encounter the ultimate 'sunshine' heroine.

Christmas Eve has always been filled with extraordinary magic…

Melanie Woods has been waiting by the Christmas tree every year in the hope of seeing the Yule Cat one more time. When he doesn’t appear, she finally decides it is time to let go of her childhood fantasies and replace them with some very adult ones involving the gorgeous owner of an amazing, Christmas-themed bakery.

No one would guess that North Cotter is actually the Lord of the North Wind—more popularly known as the Yule Cat. No one except the child who stole her way into his heart when he was supposed to be taking her to the Yuletide Kingdom to offer as tribute to the Winter Queen. Banished by the Winter Queen when he fails to deliver, North is happy to remain in exile, making pastries that delight palates both mortal and immortal.

North’s solitary life changes when a blue-eyed beauty shows up on the steps of his bakery, having won a Christmas Eve baking lesson. He and Melanie are cooking up some Christmas magic that he hopes will last forever—if the Winter Queen doesn’t put a freeze on them. Will the fires of his and Melanie’s love be enough to melt the frozen heart of the Winter Queen, or will they be forced to spend their eternity together in a land of endless cold?
