Feature Friday – All the Reasons Why

Ahhh, yeah. Natalie and Mason.

Look, I have a thing for freakishly large werewolves who eat EXTREMELY LARGE AMOUNTS OF FOOD. A thing, okay? A thing.

Mason is both freakishly large (dire wolf, peeps!) and always hungry. So he eats. Because he can.

Natalie is not freakishly large. Or a wolf. And she’s got issssssues. Family issues. Body image issues. Freaked out by her potential future issues. She needs someone who isn’t afraid to help her shoulder those issues.

No lie, Mason’s freakishly large shoulders get the job done.

I seriously love these two together. Natalie wasn’t the nicest person in the earlier books and I hadn’t been planning on telling her story AT ALL. Yet here we are. With Natalie and Mason finding their happy place.

Some characters just demand to have their story told, don’t they?

What they don’t know is Natalie needs protection and the only ones she thinks stand a chance against her worst nightmare are the wolves.

Mason Armstrong held his tongue as Natalie dated her way through the team. He wants her to want him, not settle for the biggest, quietest wolf in the pack because he’s the only one who will have her.

Finding out what drives her serial dating makes his wolf see red.

But figuring out how to fix her problem is only the beginning. Once her issues get taken care of, will she even want a wolf?

Lane Tennyson’s greatest wish is to finish out her senior year and disappear into the big city where no one will know her name. Because this town won’t let the girl voted Most Likely to Commit Arson (again) escape her past even though she’s grown up since then and moved on.

Matthias Bridges is content with his place in life. As the second in command to a future alpha, he can see his path laid out for him and it’s a bright one. The only dark spot is the way the girl who intrigues his wolf avoids him like the plague.

So what if she once set a local trailer park on fire? Accidents happen and Lane has grown from a gangly, angry girl into a beautiful, sweet young woman.

Finding out she has every intention of leaving and never coming back after graduation is unacceptable.

Because when a wolf finds his mate, there are no limits to what he’ll do to keep her.

Feature Friday – Buried Bodies

It’s been a while since I dipped my toes into the world of the Anderson High Wolves, so let’s take a look back at them.

Jenny and Evan. The human and the werewolf.

If you ignore the accidental murder she committed, Jenny’s just a normal high school girl. No, wait. That’s not exactly true. Jenny’s tense and stressed out and she did something she can’t undo.

And she has a little brother she’s fiercely protective of.

When that accidental murder thing puts her on Evan’s radar…well, things get interesting for her. Because Evan’s protective and possessive and HOO-BOY he’s not going to let anything happen to this girl.

Wolves, man. So growly when they get riled up.

Buried Bodies

(Anderson High Wolves #1)

Release Date: June 20, 2015

Pages: 66

Genre: New Adult, Paranormal Romance

Jenny Reynolds may be a mere human, but her life is anything but ordinary.

She’s juggling her senior year of high school, a sick mom, a brother who depends on her, and, oh yeah, there’s the matter of a body in the trunk of her car. As if that isn’t enough, the werewolf quarterback of her high school’s all-shifter football team has started sniffing around.

Evan Carmichael never noticed Jenny as more than the cute girl in his class until the day he smelled blood and death on her. Now she’s all he can think about. And when a werewolf becomes intrigued, he’ll do anything to keep the object of his fascination safe.

Even hide a body.

What’s a girl to do when the most beautiful boy in school wants to help her out of her jam? If she’s smart, she takes him up on the offer…

Feature Friday – Hard Wired

The final book in the Pinnacle Point series introduces us to Eugene, the guy who has more success flirting online than in real life. When he goes through a BIG transformation, he finds out that his new next door neighbor is kind of into that. RAWR!

This book contains:

Terrible pick-up linesA guy who is socially inept to a painful degreeA lady who doesn’t mind hairA whole lot of lube

(There’s also a grandma who might be planning a heist, but that’s another story for another day.)

(Wait. I should write that story, shouldn’t I???)

Welcome to Pinnacle Point! It’s the place where excessive masturbation leads to transformational changes!

Hard Wired

(Pinnacle Point #4)

<< Future Perfect - Pinnacle Point: The Harker Collection >>

Release Date: March 16, 2016

Pages: 42

Genre: Monster Erotica

Eugene Turner could be the poster child for the socially awkward. In real life, his pick-up lines always fall flat and he’s more of a laughter generator than a stud.

Which is why he prefers spending most of his time hooking up with the lovely ladies he meets online instead of prowling the bars for a real-life honey. When he’s wired in, he has women begging for his attention and enough naughty pics sent to him to keep him happy night after night.

An unexpected betrayal, a transformation of epic proportions, and a meeting he never expected could give Eugene everything he never knew he was missing. As it turns out, there’s someone out there for everyone when you live in Pinnacle Point. Eugene is proof of that.

Warning: This book contains a man who can’t keep his hands out of his pants. Or his pants on. Or pictures of himself off the internet. Some people have all the fun.

Feature Friday – Future Perfect

Not only is Pinnacle Point home to a variety of supernaturals, it also has a few people who dabble in the scientific. Such as Logan Harker.

Logan…well, he discovers that time travel is possible and the rest (as they say) is history.

This book contains:

One mathematically minded manOne perky intern who could end up being so much more to LoganA threesome that might not be a threesome depending on whether you consider it such when two of the people involved are the same personA future that looks impossibly perfect in the most wonderful way

There’s never a dull time in Pinnacle Point!

Future Perfect

(Pinnacle Point #3)

Release Date: February 10, 2016

Pages: 44

Genre: Futuristic Erotica

Three years ago, Logan Harker quit his job and moved sight unseen to Pinnacle Point. With his cousins living there already, it seemed like a no-brainer.

Somewhere along the way, the no-brainer turned into a WTF?!? With one cousin now haunting the local hotel and the other a sex-crazed zombie, Logan’s wondering if it’s time to hang up his pocket protector and get out of Dodge. He’s all set to turn in his resignation when a new project crosses his desk. Unable to resist, Logan throws himself whole-heartedly into one last, mind-bendingly complex algorithm.

Given he’s planning on leaving, Logan doesn’t expect to see any results. When he comes face to face with a future version of himself it’s a shock. Finding out he’s a bona-fide sex machine in the future blows his mind. Having his future-self lure an intern into a threesome with him is beyond believable.

Faced with the incontrovertible truth of his perfect future self, Logan has to decide if leaving Pinnacle Point without exploring all the possibilities it has to offer is something he’s willing to do. Throwing away this potential future seems downright wrong to his mathematical mind.

And Logan is nothing if not thorough about his calculations.

Warning: This book contains a threesome. Kind of. I mean, is it really a threesome if two of the people are the same person? You’ll have to decide that on your own.

One dead sexy hunk of a zombieOne lady who need her body guardedOne steamy photoshootThe realization that zombies can still get it up

<< Ghost of a Chance - Future Perfect >>

Release Date: January 13, 2016

Pages: 39

Genre: Monster Erotica, Paranormal Romance

When his ghostly cousin tells him there’s an open position at the PI firm where he works, Zane Harker jumps at the chance. There aren’t many places willing to hire a zombie and being dead hasn’t stopped the bills from piling up.

His new gig has a lot of perks, not the least of which is his current job guarding the delectable Maisie Banks after she receives death threats for her PR campaign to lure supernaturals to the small town of Pinnacle Point. The feisty brunette is a handful who spends her days arranging photo shoots of half-naked couples for her next PR push.

He might be a zombie, but spending day in and day out watching beautiful people make out for the camera reminds him his libido is alive and kicking. And Maisie doesn’t seem the least disgusted by his lack of a pulse. If anything, he thinks it makes her like him even more.

He might have a job to do, but no one said he couldn’t enjoy himself while doing it.

Warning: This book contains a zombie. Not a gross one. A gorgeous one. And just because he doesn’t have a properly beating heart doesn’t mean he can’t perform admirably. Maisie certainly doesn’t have any complaints.

When he was alive, Chance Harker was stuck in a boring job and a relationship that was going nowhere. Now that he’s dead, a whole new world has opened up for him.

He has a challenging job with a PI firm, his run of a swank hotel, and plenty of interesting people to keep an eye on. The only thing missing from his afterlife is great sex. Hell, he’d settle for mediocre sex at this point. Any sex at all, in fact.

Finding out the research facility run by Pinnacle Point Pharms is looking for those with strange and unusual sexual issues, Chance decides to check it out. Because if a sex clinic with supernatural ties can’t help him get a little nookie, he’ll have to resign himself to an eternity of unfulfilled desires.

And no self-respecting ghost wants that.

Warning: This book contains a horny ghost who tends to go invisible at the worst possible moment, a woman with exceptional flexibility, and a box of powdered donuts. The break room will never be the same again.

Not only when it comes to keeping her safe, but also so he can stake a claim on her heart.
