AUTUMN ROSE

The Dark Heroine, Book 2

ISBN: 9780062248756

International sensation Abigail Gibbs draws us even further into the dangerous and romantic world of the Dark Heroines with AUTUMN ROSE, book two of her breathtakingly magical paranormal series.

Somewhere in a sleepy seaside town in England, Autumn Rose is living a seemingly quite life. But, buried deep under the surface are dark secrets. Autumn’s been dealing with a lot -- her grandmother is dead and the whirling social scene of London in which she was brought up is a world away. To make matters worse, she’s shunned and condemned at her new school, all because of the swirling marks on her skin that prevent her from blending in.

At school, the appearance of a handsome young man sends her world in turmoil. He shares the same markings as Autumn, and knows many of the secrets she’s tried to keep hidden. His arrival at school thrusts her into the limelight, with the unexpected popularity bringing danger as her secrets threaten to come to light. And, Autumn keeps dreaming of a human girl who is about to be seduced by a very dark Prince. Time is her enemy, and she must figure out how to save the human before it is too late.

AUTUMN ROSE continues Abigail Gibbs phenomenal Dark Heroine series with an alluring story of romance, hidden secrets, and captivating magic.

AUTHOR BIO:

Abigail Gibbs was born and raised in deepest, darkest Devon, England. She is studying for a B.A. in English at the University of Oxford and considers herself a professional student, as the real world has yet to catch up with her. Her greatest fear is blood and she is a great advocate of vegetarianism, which logically led to the writing of her first novel, The Dark Heroine: Dinner with a Vampire. She splits her time between her studies, stories, and family, and uses coffee to survive all three.

Two Dads for Christmas by Kate Richards - Review

Lauren is in trouble. Only the adoption agency lady knows the heartbreaking decision she’s making. But every baby deserves a father and Lauren’s ex isn’t stepping up to the plate. Without a dad for her child, Lauren doesn’t feel she can give her baby what he or she deserves. When her mother sends her to the Castillo resort in Castle, Alaska to help with a holiday celebration, Lauren jumps at the chance to forget her worries.

Jorell’s career is soaring. In charge of development for the Castillo Resorts Caribbean region, the only thing on his mind is pursuing a vice presidency. Not romance. But a forced transfer to the frozen north throws him—and his prospects off-kilter.

Zachary lives near Castle, Alaska, but the fishing guide has had little success finding a social life and fears his interest in both men and women may be too wild for the wilderness.

Two men and one pregnant woman…in charge of the holiday activities at the Christmas Extravaganza at Castle Lodge. Friendship and intense attraction blooms between them. But Madame Eve has her work cut out for her…will Jorell and Zach provide enough reasons for Lauren to change her mind?

Amazon | B&N | ARe | Decadent

I love the 1NS series from Decadent Publishing and Two Dads for Christmas fits right into the series known for its short, sweet and often very sexy stories. I enjoyed the way that Jorell, Zach and Lauren were all set up by their friends and family and thrown together and become great friends until Madame Eve helps them realize their attraction to each other.

It’s definitely a great story, and I really enjoyed the heartwarming Christmas elements of it. It does touch on past characters but is easily read as a standalone story. I would recommend it to fans of menage and Christmas stories.

Heather Long is one of those authors that no matter what book of hers I pick up I know I’ll find a great book that takes me away from my day to day stress. She’s open, friendly and one of the most approachable authors I’ve ever had the privilege to ‘meet’ online.

She even named a character after me after she asked the question Marine or Cowboy and I said why not both, she then wrote The Marine Cowboy and the main female character is Sheri Vaughn! I still smile so big every time I think about it.

Virginia Nelson is one of those great people that is funny, genuinely kind and she writes some really snarky and sexy stories. Heather Long actually introduced Virginia and her books to me and I have been hooked ever since. I won a contest with Virginia and she named a character after me, it’s coming out sometime in the future, she’s also the only person I know who can write volcanically hot ghost sex. Read that very sexy ghost sex in Dom of the Dead!

Melissa Schroeder is another author that I know no matter which of her books I pick up that I’m in for a treat. Be it a BDSM contemporary all the way to a MMF futuristic story, she’s always have something I love to read. She always tells it like it is, and she’s one of the most real people I know. I happily recommend her because she always put out quality books.

One of my favorite books from her is A Little Harmless Fantasy. It’s a MMF contemporary and it’s super hot!

Herding Cats and Burning Soup was a blog I stumbled upon one day. She seemed like she had it all together and was the kind of blog I aspired to be when I started. She always had such great reviews and so many big and well known authors on her blog. I started interacting on the blog’s Facebook page and I learned that the owner who I held in such high esteem was even more awesome once I got to know her. She volunteers so much of her time with animals and the USO, she’s someone I feel honored to know. Not to mention I love talking books with her.

Four for the Show by Cristal Ryder - Review/Giveaway

Four for the Show

Cristal Ryder

Spectator Sex. Intriguing. Risqué.

The idea of watching other people have sex excites Tara to distraction. She hopes Joe is as eager as she to slip into voyeur mode so they can take another step in their sexual adventures. The last thing she expects is to evolve from watching ménages to being part of the show. Or for the two hot men who join her and Joe to not be able to keep their hands off each other.

Inside Scoop: In addition to being with three men, our lucky heroine gets a little foreplay of the female variety.

An Exotika® contemporary erotica story from Ellora’s Cave

Amazon | Ellora’s | ARe

This was one very hot piece of erotic fiction, I really liked Tara and Joe, and they’re up for a new experience and really embrace it. It’s a quick read that was well written and I really got into the story. There isn’t a lot of relationship build up between Tara and Joe other than they are both in the relationship to have fun so a visit to a sex club is great way to show their adventurous side.

Ms. Ryder writes some really sexy scenes and I will easily try more of her writing in her future. It’s worth the time to read for the smexy scenes.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review. 

Cristal read her first romance at age twelve. Taylor Caldwell introduced her to passion and romance that fueled a craving to read anything she could
get her hands on. Cristal wrote her first story at fifteen, and spent many hours escaping into worlds she created on the walk to and from high school with her friends.

Cristal lives in a small Canadian town, is a single mom of two college aged sons. Along with her writing, Cristal works full time, loves horses, the outdoors and will jet off at any given opportunity to see the world. Cristal is multi-published with Ellora's Cave, Sybarite Seductions and Harlequin Digital in 2014.

Peyton's Ride by Jennifer James and The Reaper and the Cop by Mina Carter - Cover Reveals and Giveaway

Peyton’s Ride (Riding with the Hunt #1) by Jennifer James

Blurb--Peyton’s Ride

Divorcee Peyton Reynolds is ready to get out of town after her mother's death. A month long cross country ride on her Harley, free from her estranged family's judgement and the memories of her ex-husband's betrayal. A last check-up on her new cruiser leaves her alone in the garage with sexy town bad boy, Ian Coghlan.

Ian Coghlan knows he's nothing but bad news for a woman like Peyton. His killer affection has held him back from acting on a five year old attraction. One tiny grin in the gorgeous, curvy, brunette's direction and sockets start flying out of the tool boxes.

Pixie pranks abound, his old biker gang roars into the parking lot...and that's only the beginning of the mayhem.

When Peyton is left bleeding to death, he has to decide if he can let her go or if he's willing risk her eternal hatred for changing her life forever.

About the Author--Jennifer James

For a girl whose first book was called “The Scariest Forest Ever,” the jump to romance may seem to be a far one. But a love of happy endings and the stories she kept making up in her head for strangers on the street lead to an unhealthy amount of time spent behind the keyboard typing away and giggling mischievously over sassy heroines,

sexy heroes, and healthy sprinklings of geek humor.

With time split between a day job staring at teeth, two little girls, college courses, workaholic husband, and too many voices in her head, Jennifer still finds time to sneak off and devour all the books she can find – even if it means hiding in the closet to read them.

She insists on her jokes being dirty, drinks spiked, and tattoos placed in intriguing, muscular places you can only find when the clothes come off.

The Reaper and the Cop by Mina Carter

Blurb--The Reaper

Death’s big business. For Laney Larson, it’s a full time job.

The latest in a long line of Reapers, Laney hits Liberty, Oakwood expecting the usual ‘reap and run’ type of job. However the small town holds far more secrets than she expects, including a sexy cop who blind-sides her reaper instincts big-time.

Liberty. It used to be a nice town until the things that go bump in the night moved in.

Detective Troy Regan moved to Liberty to claw back a little of his soul after working homicide in the big city. But the sleepy little down has problems of the paranormal kind and it’s police department have gone from calls about lost cats to Boggarts in the basement. Then the seriously nasty stuff moved in.

Sparks fly when a sexy Reaper meets a hot as hell Cop...

Troy’s not sure exactly what flavour of paranormal Laney is, but he doesn’t care. She’s tiny, delicate and gorgeous. When he finds a Lycan looming over her in an alley, all his protective instincts flare up. He needs to get her home, keep her safe…in his bed.

But is she the answer he’s been looking for to fill the empty spot in his heart, or the most dangerous creature he’s ever met?

About the Author--Mina Carter

Mina was born and raised in the East Farthing of Middle Earth (otherwise known as the Midlands, England) and spend her childhood learning all the sorts of things generally required of a professional adventurer. Able to ride, box, shoot, make and read maps, make chainmail and use a broadsword (with varying degrees of efficiency) she was disgusted to find that adventuring is not considered a suitable occupation these days.

So, instead of slaying dragons and hunting vampires and the like, Mina spends her days writing about hot shifters, government conspiracies and vampire lords with more than their fair share of RAWR. Turns out wanna-be adventurers have quite the turn of imagination after all...

(But she keeps that sword sharp, just in case the writing career is just a dream and she really *is* an adventurer.)

The boring part: A full time author and cover artist, Mina can usually be found hunched over a keyboard or graphics tablet, frantically trying to get the images and words in her head out and onto the screen before they drive her mad. She's addicted to coffee and would like to be addicted to chocolate, but unfortunately chocolate dislikes her.
