Always (Wesson Rebels M.C.) Shyla Colt

Book Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMm3pY0aaoY

Book Description
I never understood the phrase there’s a thin line between love and hate, until Dallas Wesson and I, became us. 

The beautiful green-eyed biker with the broken soul tantalizes me with glimpses of the man behind the vest. He‘s gravity. I have no choice but to return to him, regardless of what it costs me. Our story is messy, unconventional, uninhibited, and insane. Still, it’s real, and until now it’s always been more than enough. I’m broken, bleeding out, and completely wrecked. I walk away. Yet, he refuses to let me go. Because no matter how much I resist him we both know what lies between us is for always. 






Author Bio
Shyla Colt grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, but has lived a variety of different places thanks to her wanderlust, interesting careers, and marriage to a United States Marine. She’s always loved books and wrote her very first novel at the age of fifteen. She keeps a copy of her first submission letter on her desk for inspiration.
After a lifetime of traveling, she settled down and knew her time had come to write. Diving into her new career like she does everything else, with enthusiasm, research and a lot of prayers, she had her first book published in June of 2011. As a full-time writer, stay at home mother, and wife, there’s never a dull moment in her household.
She weaves her tales in spare moments and the evenings with a cup of coffee or tea at her side and the characters in her head for company.  A self-professed rebel with a pen. Her goal is to diversify romance as she continues to genre hop, and offer up strong female characters.

Carlyle Labuschagne Dead of Night

World War III has left Earth in utter turmoil. People’s beliefs are said to be the cause of the worldwide destruction. After The Clearing new laws are set about - to show certitude in anything besides the law is weak and chargeable as mutiny. To be illogical and have faith in religion is illegal, to be limitless is dangerous. And Illness is seen as a defect – all flaws that are inexcusable.

But to love is the greatest betrayal of all man kind. It is a fault the world has long forgotten and punishable by death, a fatal risk Aecker and Opel are fully prepared to take - because in love there is freedom. But how far can they push back before it claims their lives and of those they care about?

Enjoy a Traditional Regency Romance by Daphne Du Bois

A traditional Regency romance in the style of Georgette Heyer... 

She will settle for nothing less than love…

Miss Margaret Dacre dreams of two things: creating the gowns she’s been dreaming up in her sketchbooks and winning the love of Lord Hartley. And neither of these will come true if her father has his way and she marries her dreadful cousin Kingsley Stanhope.

But Maggie is not one to give up without a fight: she decides that she’s long-overdue an adventure and nothing less than Paris will do.

As Maggie and her dearest friend Cecile begin to establish their new identities in the most romantic city in the world, she discovers that love isn’t so easily left behind – especially when you’re trying to ignore it.

But will Lord Hartley ever see her as more than his best friend’s little sister? Or would the handsome conductor Sir Lucian Blake make for a better match?

About the Author
Daphne has always had a passion for literature and history and one day it occurred to her: what better way to use her English Literature degree than to write about Regency romps and romance? She hasn't looked back since. Admittedly, her addiction to all things Jane Austen from a very young age had probably somewhat informed her choice of subject matter...
Daphne has stacks of notebooks full of stories that still need to be written, which she insists on bringing with her when she moves around the world (she's done this a lot!). She likes her books full of romance, adventure, witty repartee and a dash of silly humour. When Daphne isn't writing, she can be found painting, picnicking, reading and listening to all sorts of exciting music.
Daphne also writes fantasy under the pen name Emily de Courcy - her first anthology, 'From Fairies and Creatures of the Night, Guard Me', will be out early December 2013.
Also look out for her third Regency romance, His Wayward Duchess, out late Jan 2014!

Happy Thanksgiving - From My Heart to Yours

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for an incredible year!  I wanted to take this time to tell you just how thankful I am for your love and support.  2014 has been a magical year, and given so many blessings, and I know it's because of wonderful people like you that all this has been made possible.  As my family prepares for our traditional gathering around the table, to share our love and thanks, I'm wishing all of you the absolute best.  Whether you are traveling to be with loved ones, or they are coming to you, I hope all your memories are ones you will cherish for an eternity.

These are the days that really matter, the time we are given with those we can't imagine not sharing in our lives.  In 1995 and 1996 two of the people dearest to my heart moved on to their next journey, and when I look back today, it was memories from the holiday season that remind me how blessed we are to have people in our lives.  That blessing may only be for a short time, or it could span for generations, no one knows.  So it's my hope that you'll take the time this year to put aside all differences and remember what really matters.  Family.  None of us are promised tomorrow, so shouldn't we make today truly count?

Our tradition brings all the women into the kitchen to share in cooking, or attempting to, and catching up over time lost when our lives kept us busy with other endeavors.  The men will usually hang around outside, either listening/watching sports or doing the Turkey on either a grill, or the fryer.  I have to be honest when I say I don't know what they discuss, but I'm sure in their own way they are catching up as well.  It's a tradition that's been with our family as far back as I  remember my Granny Louise or Granddaddy Crawford.  Even years later, this Southern Tradition of ours has continued.

No matter where life takes us over the years, this is the one time we are all brought back together. I hope that you and your family, enjoy your traditions.  I also hope that no matter where you are, or how and if you celebrate, your heart is filled with love.  We've already put up most of our Christmas lights, and wait until the weekend after Thanksgiving to put up our tree.  I'd love to hear about your traditions.  For any of you that don't have someone to share this holiday with, know that you'll be in my thoughts.  My heart aches to know that this is sometimes the loneliness season for many people and I would like to reach out those without family and offer my support.  I'm only an email away!

I give thanks to all of you wonderful people, and hope that your blessings are many.  Wherever you are, may the spirit of the season fill you with a sense of joy.  Every day that we are given one more sunrise to open our eyes, there is hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Love Always,
Michelle

Steel Panther - Throw Back to the 80's

I ran across this band today, and obviously I've been way out of touch because they've been out for a while, and thought I'd share them.  It's been a while since I've done a band, and what better way to change that then with a throwback to the 80's band.  A quick warning, this is one of their tamer videos, so if language bothers you, well you've been warned.  Some quick links for them: https://www.facebook.com/steelpantherkicksass and Steel Panther on youtube 
I'm a huge 80's fan so anything that pays tribute to that, I'm usually on board with.  I'm not sure Steel Panther does, because it's mostly satire, but nonetheless I found myself smiling and these days that a thumbs up.  So in a way they are paying tribute to the 80's by making fun of it, so I'm saying that counts!  The long hair, sexy gyrations, pumped up beat, it's all pretty cool.  And yeah, it's funny as sin, and who couldn't use a good laugh these days.
So give them a listen and let me know what you think.  Thanks for joining us at Tears of Crimson. Home to Bestselling Author Michelle Hughes,and all the Friends of Crimson!
