Call for ARC reviewers: Smoke and Shadows

[Victoria]

Finally, Viktor and Marissa's book! I have finished final edits and will be doing one last proofread before I send out the ARCs.



ARCs will go out: February 28, 2014
(sooner if I finish proofreads earlier)
Expected Publication: March 7, 2014
How: Leave your email on this thread, or message me. Please include format. (Kindle, iBooks, or PDF)

Please withhold review until publishing date of March 7. Anytime during release week will be great!

Warning: Early beta readers told me this book is not a fluff read. So I'm posting Chapter 1 and 2 for your perusal, so you can determine if this is the kind of book you're interested in reading.

Smoke and Shadows Chapter 1 &2

Blurb:
When someone close to Viktor Baran becomes a target of an assassin, he vows a hellfire of a payback. But the enemy is cunning and avoids the trappings of the digital web, preferring to strike out from the shadows. Drawing on old-fashioned cloak and dagger methods to investigate the enemy’s hatred for the Guardians, he uncovers a link to a past he is reluctant to revisit.

Eight years ago, Marissa Cole walked away from the man she loved. New to CIA black ops then, she was overwhelmed by the intensity of the man who would stop at nothing, no matter how ruthless, to get the job done. "Don’t get involved with the person you work with" has become her motto ever since—until a series of events throws her back into Viktor Baran’s world.

Danger and mayhem are the perfect formula to reignite their passion, and Viktor has decided he's done fighting his attraction to Marissa. He is determined to make her his. However, their road to a happily ever after is a bumpy one. Years on the job have stripped Viktor of his humanity, and unless he can break down his walls enough to let Marissa into his heart, he could lose her again.

Friendships will be broken. Beliefs will be shaken, and their relationship will be tested.
For the stakes are too high, and there is a growing threat, not only to AGS, but also to every government agency critical to the country's safety.

Is targeting the Guardians merely a distraction or is it the first step to a terrorist attack on the nation's capital?

* Strong sexual content and language. Some disturbing situations. Recommended 18-years old and above.

Thank you so much again. The reading community truly helps me grow as an author!

[Steph]

Thanks so much Vee! This was amazing! I couldn't wait to read Victors story and it was definitely worth the wait. I posted my 5 star review to goodreads and Amazon. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next. Thanks again!

[Victoria]

Yay! Thrilled you enjoyed Smoke and Shadows. Working on a new series, but there's a clamor for Stan Morgan's book and that he be made a Guardian so he may be next. That should be interesting. ;)

[Heather]

Review is up on Amazon!! :-)

[Victoria]

Read it! Thanks for the awesome review! :)

[JJH--Judy]

Bee--wanted you to know I loved the book. I find sometimes when you get to the third book in a series, the storylines become stale and redundant, but you really kept it fresh!

[JJH--Judy]

Oops! Sorry Vee--typo on your name! Finger hit the done button by accident while I was correcting! :). This is why I leave the writing to the professionals! :)

[Victoria]

Oh, I don't know Judy, Bee is a cute name too. ;)

So happy you loved this installment as well! Re: keeping it fresh, it did help that the characters are so different from each other. Like the men are all alphas, but they're different levels.

[Dyndyn]

Loved Viktor & Marissa, Vee! I just posted my review.
Can't wait for your next book!
