Book one in the Paranormal Security Council Series

All the power and killer instinct she possess can’t protect her from the claiming of one determined wolf.

They call her ‘The woman in white,’ whisper ‘Death-Bringer’ with their last breath, but no one knows exactly what she is. Not even Voltaire herself. The deadly magic within her is a living thing, able to crush anyone and everything with a blink. Abandoning the blood-soaked world she’s used to, Voltaire seeks out the one constant in her tired life-the green-eyed wolf in her dreams. She’s ignored the wolf’s call for years, afraid to surrender, but danger haunts her mate. He needs her.

Wolf-shifter Blake Montez is in the middle of a war, battling the usurpers intent on taking over his territory. Unfamiliar magic hums in the air, unnoticed-it seems-by everyone but him. He finds the source already under his nose, in his home. The delicate woman in white knows things no one should know, and the heat simmering between them is unlike anything he’s ever felt. His wolf recognizes her as his mate, though Blake remains unsure he can trust her.

Voltaire sets out to prove herself with time running out. Enemies are on the prowl, some foreseen, others remaining cloaked in shadow. She and Blake team up, fighting side by side, but in the end Voltaire might be the biggest threat to their love.

Stamp for reply."

           "I hereby give notice to all unmarried women that I, John -----, am at this writing five-and-forty, a widower, and in want of a wife. As I wish no one to be mistaken, I have a good cottage, with a couple of acres of land, for which I pay 2--- a year. I have five children, four of them old enough to be in employment; three sides of bacon, and some pigs ready for market. I should like to have a woman fit to take care of her house when I am out. I want no second family. She may be between forty and fifty if she likes. A good stirring woman would be preferred, who would take care of the pigs."

One Way or Another by Elaine Raco Chase

Look what we found! A Kindle Sensual Romance Novel for $2.99 / £1.96!



A note from the author:

One Way or Another was the original title of my second novel, Tender Yearnings, #19 in the Dell Ecstasy Romance line published in 1981. It went into a record second printing after just one month!

I actually wrote the novel because I was told not to – that romance readers didn't want books where the heroine had a family, especially when they appeared in the same novel. How silly! So Abigail Wetherby was born, along with her mother and sister. Not only that, but my hero, Nick Maxwell came equipped with a father who fell in love with Abby's mom.

When I wrote this story, credit cards were just beginning to grow, the economy was still in trouble, gas cost a fortune, and computers were run by punch cards. I even mentioned the latest craze: having a home computer that printed on green and white paper! (I resisted getting a computer until 1988!)

I hope you will fall in love with this 'contemporary classic' and enjoy a time-capsule of the way we were.

Meet Abby, computer killer and prickly proprietress of the Cove Bookshop in Camden Cove, Virginia. She's a woman with many secrets, a mother and sister she fiercely protects, and a secluded, quiet life that has become a bit boring.

Enter Nick Maxwell, a man determined to bring Abby to her knees and into his arms – but he had more than a few secrets of his own.

"A true classic."

"Yet another entrancing story."

Will their love survive?

Reviews:

"This book is an example of the perfect romance. I enjoyed Ms. Voeller's ability to switch between the point of views of Lisa and Michael. I felt I knew all the characters very well. There were a few side plots beyond Lisa and Michael's romance, and I found that they only enhanced the feeling of the story. This is a great story to read in one sitting and spend a few hours swept away in the magic of the circus." --Bethany Payne, Round Table Reviews


"This is a story that will draw the reader in and keep them engrossed. I loved how this tender, sweet romance played out. Michael and Lisa were perfect for each other but also had their own fears to quell while trying to create a relationship. Summer Magic is the type of book that would make you think of happily ever after and is one that I will recommend to family and friends." --Sheryl, eCataRomance

Action by Liz Borino

When the bright lights and flashing cameras of Hollywood capture your every move, how can you fulfill your deepest desires? For Zack Greene, a formerly out-of-control actor, and Steve Michaels, the director who unearthed the heart of the man beneath the ego, it’s a constant struggle.

In public, Steve and Zack are the picture of professional partners. However, behind closed doors, their partnership is taken to a new level. They engage in a carefully constructed Dom/sub relationship that not only brings them pleasure, but keeps Zack from slipping back into his wild ways.

Their delicate balance is thrown askew when a producer on the show threatens to expose their lifestyle, while taking advantage of Zack in a moment of vulnerability. Will Steve be able to ease the pain and save the love they share? Or will they come apart when they need each other most?

*Warning: Light BDSM, D/s relationship, spanking, and hot m/m sex*

Reviews:

"Action has two great main characters that face new issues in their long-standing relationship. I adored these two guys, even if some of their issues were overly dramatic. I especially liked how their D/s relationship was not front-in-center, but focused on the loving nature of their slightly deviant relationship, which could overcome varying difficulties. Definitely recommended!"

"Another one by Liz that gets my heart all to mush! I fell in love with Zack and Steve. They're so loving and supportive of each other. There were very sad and trying moments between them, and it broke my heart. I loved how no matter what I knew they'd remain strong. There are so many memorable scenes in here for me that get me teary eyed just thinking about. There were also some laugh out loud funny moments, which I was really happy for. I would like to see more of the history of Zack and Steve and get deeper into their lives, I hope there's more!"

Fur Ball Fever by Maureen Fisher

Look what we found! A Kindle Romantic Mystery for $2.99 / £1.90!



“ONE FOR THE MONEY meets BEST IN SHOW ... Fans of Stephanie Plum and dog lovers should love this one ...”

FUR BALL FEVER is a romantic crime mystery spiked with attitude (most of it warped) and enough steamy sex to drive those who dare read it racing for a cold shower. After a lifetime of impetuous mistakes, pet spa owner Grace Donnelly outdoes herself when she loses her elderly client’s prize pooch—a shoo-in to win the annual Jersey Shore Fur Ball. Money, careers, and lives are in jeopardy. Too bad her helpers consist of an aging hippie aunt, a renegade schnauzer, and a drag queen. Worst of all, the only man truly qualified to help is her former flame, the hunkiest bodyguard north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Security specialist Nick Jackson faces his worst nightmare when Grace’s amateur investigation nearly blows his undercover operation. Unless he nails the con-artist who scammed local seniors and whacked a witness, his homicidal granddaddy will take justice into his own liver-spotted hands. To salvage his case, his sanity, and his ex-lover’s velvety skin, Nick joins forces with the sassy crusader who rubs him the wrong way—and so many right ways too.
Action bounces between a beach harboring washed-up corpses, a fancy yacht no honest preacher could possibly afford, and the bawdiest nightclub in Atlantic City. Hazards multiply like bunnies until exploding into romance, murder, and mayhem culminating in a Fur Ball extravaganza the locals will never forget.

Reviews:


"I laughed out loud and so will you ..."

"You'll enjoy this funny mystery."

"Grace and Nick are really cute together (he's a hot southern guy--yowsa!), and the mystery sucked me in. The supporting characters, especially the pot-smoking aunt, made me laugh."

Nearly broke and down to her last Herme’s scarf, she accepts an invitation to a Z-list Writers’ Conference in the wine-and-cowboy town of Santa Ynez, California, where, unfortunately, a cross-dressing dominatrix named Marva plies her trade by impersonating Camilla.

When a ghostwriter’s plot to blackmail celebrities with faked evidence leads to murder, Camilla must team up with Marva to stop the killer from striking again.

Grab yourself a glass of wine, a box of chocolates and a comfy sofa, and enjoy.

Reviews:

"The setting for this fast-moving mystery is that glamorous rural celebrity playground we've all seen backdropping upscale Westerns, the scenarios we'd love to live in if we but had the resources. Anne Allen creates a very recognizable facsimile of the classic Western, complete with the classic personas, to play out clever contortions of murder and mystery. All sorts of wannabe writers mill around the rustic setting of a writers' conference: dewy, suspicious, earnest, and funny, to populate the action with fascinating suspects. It's fun to read because of her ingenious and witty style. "

"If you're looking for pure entertainment with a nostalgic feel, and a game of follow the clues, you'll love this novel as much as I did."

Will they decide love is worth the consequences? Will Tye’s gift turn out to be a blessing or a curse?

Reviews:

"I enjoyed this book even more than the first. I suspect part of that is that I (and I'm guessing most people) are able to become engrossed in a book easier and quicker if they have already "established a relationship" with the characters by reading and liking a prior book in the series." ~BigAl on Books And Pals

"Dashing Druid is a great weekend read. Lyn Horner does a wonderful job of bringing the old west to life in a way that makes the reader sigh with contentment when the last paragraph has been read. I can't wait for the next book in this series to be published." ~mesadallas on Amazon

Secrets & Lies by Tracy James Jones

We found a Kindle Romance Novel for $2.99 / £1.95!



“Secrets & Lies,” is an in-depth emotional journey into the private lives of four central characters that unfolds as a provocative multi-cultural modern romance with a twist.

Secrets, as they are, rarely devastate the national population as a whole. They are more often limited to the individual going on about their lives. That is what this story is about, a group of not-so-ordinary people, all from very different backgrounds, whose secrets and lies leaves a trail of honest deception waiting to upset the rituals of their daily existence.
* * *
Kennedy Jordan is a handsome young man with a secret past and a challenging future that keeps him in the balance between having what he wants versus what others expect of him.

Camilla Vargas is a beautiful ambitious young woman with big dreams of success that she has planned to obtain by any means possible, and vows to not let anything keep her from it.

Ulanda Jefferson is a hip outspoken fashionista with a fiery attitude. Armored with sharp-wit and an uncensored tongue, she is more than just a force to be reckoned with.

Bren Searcy is a grown-up lost in transition, (literally from male to female). There is almost nothing she wouldn’t bear to hang onto the happiness she has finally found.
* * *
In the end, for everyone involved, even the elements of true confessions gets lost in translation as the explicit details of who they are brings the group together in a surprising, yet necessary finale that could change the course of their lives forever…

Reviews:

"This novel reads like you're watching a movie!"

"Richly intricate plots, amazing storytelling and complete surprise is what awaits you in this book. I dare not give away too much detail, this story is far too good to destroy with spoilers, but if you don't enjoy Kenny, Camilla, Bren, and Ulanda as much as I did, I'll be surprised!"

With the army recalling him to the trenches of France, he faces a terrible dilemma. Taste Virginia’s passion before he marches off to war, or keep his marriage vows to Harry.

Review:

Rating: 5 books
Reviewed by Camellia LASR

"Margaret Tanner writes awe inspiring descriptions of Australia’s landscapes along with horrifyingly realistic descriptions of the carnage and misery in Europe during World War I that take the reader on an emotional journey that makes her feel as if she is right there in the moment. Ms. Tanner also creates some breathtaking love scenes far from “Edwardian morality and war” that are “pure magic”. These scenes accentuate the emergence of a soul mate, consuming love that gives super strength and courage during the somber, troubled times in which Harriet and Ross carve out a life for themselves.

The antagonists are so vividly portrayed the reader can almost feel the meanness in them—no redeeming qualities--just evil use of social position and power to aggrandize themselves and subjugate others."
