REVIEW</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***5 STARS*** </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What can I say? I just love the works of this author.<br /><br />Poppy Carvene sort of reminds me of Lily. They are both strong women with a dash of femininity. Poppy is a very determined person and she goes after what she wants. The hero is one hunk of a man. They perfectly complement each other.<br /><br />Moving along. Despite Poppy defying her father's wishes like unknowingly sleeping with the enemy and joining the ranks of said enemy, her father is still very supportive and overprotective of her.<br /><br />Even though the author mentioned some background of what is happening in the story not everything is revealed yet. However, there are some things that would give you an inkling such as the relationship between Poppy and the hero.<br /><br />I also like the other shifters in the story. I can't wait to read their own stories and delved into the world of this story.<br /><br />I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.</div>

I loved Scarlett Dawn's works. I was really looking forward to her next installation of Moon Mark because I was sort of disappointed with the first. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I thought Madeline was weak but she wasn't really. Although compared to her other heroines, Madeline has a weak personality. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was looking for the yummy romance between Geo and Madeline. There was no insta-love in this case. Their relationship didn't start out well. Even then I was looking forward to the development of their relationship but it wasn't their.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It jumped to a physical relationship fast but I understood that the first was because they had no choice. And when Madeline realized what she was and what it meant, she ran.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although eventually she returned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I appreciated was the sister of Geo. She was very protective of him and he to her. Still, I felt for her when that little twist happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all, it wasn't bad. This was a quick easy read.</div>

When Donna is sent back in time to Classical Athens, she’s furious at
Dr. Stephens for sending her against her wishes. Then a Greek soldier
purchases her to be his wife.<br />
She’s forced to learn a new language and culture and faces her fears of
never returning to her own time. The society hates her, especially
because they think she’s an Amazon, which forces her to confront her
issues—being compared to her genius brother, borderline abusive friends,
and a cheating boyfriend.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1455283047091_2484">
But her husband, Peleus, is kind and patient. He counters all the
negative voices from her past, but those voices drive a wedge between
them. She must let go of her fears, her inhibitions, and insecurities,
and admit her feelings, or she could lose him and the life they’ve
built.</div>

This was actually a very interesting read of the author. I loved a good time travel romance and this was a bit different from other books of this genre. This was the second book I've read about time travel that's a world of its own but the heroine from both stories were both different and at the same time sort of similar.<br /><br />I can totally relate to how Donna feels because that's how I felt about myself but I'm getting to where Donna is at now since she changed so much throughout the whole story. That was my favorite part of the story wherein Donna changed for the better. I won't get into details with Peleus and Donna's relationship but it was rocky at start because of some miscommunication and the opinion of others that gets in their road to happiness. The relationship between Peleus and Donna started slow because like I mentioned it was rocky at first, it took a while for them to understand one another and while the suspense was killing me, it was worth the wait especially when they admitted their feelings to one another.<br /><br />On another note, I do like the teacher of Donna. It's because of him that Donna found the place where she truly belong and his cool, eccentric, and a genius. Donna also has closer relationship to him than her own family. I also disliked her bestfriend and boyfriend but everything turned out better for the end.<br /><br />I received an arc for a blog tour.<br /><br /></div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454862868075_2289">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454862868075_2288" style="color: black;">Caroline Jules has received news of a
lifetime. She’s going to be Queen to ‘her’ people. Instead of running,
as any sane criminal would, she faces the mêlée with all the wits and
savvy that her difficult life has honed. With her best friend, Sin, at
her side, Caro pushes past the animosity her power inevitably brings,
and prepares to rewrite her future.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454862868075_2292">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454862868075_2291" style="color: black;">Until the night Sin leaves, and she is alone.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454862868075_2294">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1454862868075_2293" style="color: black;">Now, Caro must face the Royal world and
all its intrigues and intricacies by herself. People aren’t always as
they appear—and danger lurks behind even the most pleasant face. When a
threat not even the Elders can handle puts her new tribe in danger, Caro
takes matters into her own hands. Armed with the power of the
mysterious spirit Elementals, Caro’s determined to eliminate the evil
ransacking the Mysticals. All she needs is time.</span></div>
<span style="color: black;">But time waits for no fool…and time isn’t as straightforward as it seems.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">~ REVIEW ~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">5 STARS</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">I kind of have mixed feelings regarding Chosen Fool but still 5 stars.<br /><br />Chosen Fool surprised me. (Technically, I'm always surprised by this author). Anyway, the plot was the most interesting part because of the twist and turns. I even reread some parts because of all those secrets that were revealed. <br /><br />Caro has much greatly improved in character but I'm kind of disappointed with her romance in which I really can't pinpoint whom she'll end up with. As much as I love the mystery, I'm also want to know whom she'll end up with. I've been rooting for Sin since the beginning. Their reason for not being together made sense but I just wished they weren't afraid to go for it. I feel like they are meant to be but with all her love interest it's kind of difficult to ascertain whom she'll be with. Then, there was that little twist with a certain leader of the Air elementals (which I'm sort of happy about) but that kind of went down the drain when I read the ending (lolz). Well, if you're rooting for Sin like me you'll understand but seriously I never expected that ending. <br /><br />I am know wondering if that incident in the end is related to a certain character or is it just a coincidence?<br /><br />I so can't wait for the next book. I'm hoping that it would be released by the end of the year. <br /><br />I received an arc via netgalley and thank you to the author. </span></div>

<b> TEASER:</b></h2>
“I get it,” she said. “I finally get it.” She wouldn’t look up at me, instead concentrating on her hands. There were a few freckles on the backs of them. I wanted to take one of her purple pens and connect them to make constellations on her skin.<br />
<br />
“Get what?” I asked. Her eyes came up to my face.<br />
<br />
“Why you’re so obsessed with me.” I raised both eyebrows, but inside, I was panicked. What if she figured me out? That would be disastrous. It would be the end.<br />
<br />
“And why is that?” I said, trying to be playful.<br />
<br />
“I’m mysterious,” she said, she wiggled her fingers in front of my face and the right side of her mouth drew up. Was that a smirk? Did Ingrid just smirk at me?<br />
<br />
“Oh, is that what you think it is?” After so many intense moments, this moment of levity was like a cool drink for a parched throat.<br />
<br />
“Definitely. What else could it be?” I wasn’t going to answer that.<br />
<br />
“You got me,” I said, putting my hands up as if I surrendered. “I’m a sucker for a mystery.”<br />
<br />
She nodded and I thought I spotted another smile, but it was gone quickly, stuffed away behind rigid lips.<br />
<br />
“Thank you,” she said, so quietly that I almost didn’t catch it.<br />
<br />
“You’re very welcome, Ingrid. Anytime.” I got up and brought her some pizza and another glass of water. I had the feeling she hadn’t been eating much recently.<br />
<br />
She carefully ate two slices and had two water refills. It made the color in her cheeks come back.<br />
<br />
“You must think I’m crazy,” she said.<br />
<br />
“No. I don’t think that at all.” I wouldn’t think that about anyone, least of all her.<br />
<br />
“Liar.”<br />
<br />
“I’m not lying. Look at me.” I would never get used to the way her eyes seared into me.<br />
<br />
“I don’t think you’re crazy, Ingrid. Not even a little bit.” Her eyes narrowed and I could tell she was assessing if I was telling the truth or not.<br />
<br />
“Okay,” she finally said. “I believe you.”<br />
<br />
“Good.”<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jodie Andrefski has been passionate about reading ever since she was a little girl, when she used to climb trees to escape with a favorite book. She now lives and writes in a small town in Pennsylvania with her teenage daughter. Though still an avid reader, she now prefers a comfy chair over the crook of a tree. An unapologetic coffee fiend, she's even happier if her java comes with pie. Jodie often draws on her background in education and mental health counseling to bring real world experience to her writing. She is a firm believer in the magic of a first kiss, and insists that you should never, ever give up on your dreams. </span></div>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">
Blurb:</h1>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amara Young has always been on the outside looking in. She’s the one lightning-struck woman out of her group who has never felt as if she’s belonged. She lost a year of her life caring for her dying friend, but now it’s her turn to find out who she is. Only when the time comes, two men stand in her way—two men who claim her as theirs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tristan Archer, fae royalty and Conclave member, has waited over nine hundred years for his fate. And now he has two chances. While one knows his path, the other seems blind to what they could have. It will take more than a simple risk for Tristan to finally have what he desires…that is if Amara and Seth can overcome their own uncertainties.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While the other two in his life are fighting themselves and their futures, Seth Oceanus knows exactly what he wants. The younger brother of a Conclave member and relatively young in his realm, he knows he’ll have to prove himself so others see him for who he truly is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the triad succumbs to their cravings, they will have to fight more than their overwhelming feelings in order to survive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Warning: Contains an innocent merman, a very talented fae, and a human woman who can outpace them both.</div>

Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.<br />
<br />
Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.<br />

*** Upper New Adult Spinoff Standalone to the USA Today Bestselling Novel, Under the Influence***</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Shhhh, Cassandra, it’s our little secret.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Secrets are stubborn things when they refuse to remain hidden. They tear through your soul, clawing and lashing until the pain becomes so unbearable, you’re left no choice but to silently scream your agony. No one hears you, of course. You smile on the outside and drift through life as though your mind is at peace, but all the while, you remain your own tortured prisoner. Sealed inside the darkened, soundproof room of your conscience, deafening cries echo as you plead for someone to unlock the door and release you from your nightmares. And eventually, when no one comes, you find ways to cope. To dull the suffering the only way you know how.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But what happens when you’ve become so numb, when everything around you has become so blurred, that you begin to lose focus on the saving grace standing directly in front of you? When you’ve anesthetized yourself to the point of losing consciousness, forced to watch as his once solid image fades away, lost to your reach in the haze as it smothers you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you do then?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You fight. You heal. Then you bring him back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, my name is Cassie Cooper, and it’s time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No more secrets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>About BUILT:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the <i>New York Times</i> and <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes an electrifying new spin-off series,Saints of Denver, featuring all the characters fans have been dying to read about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sayer Cole and Zeb Fuller couldn’t be more different. She’s country club and fine-dining, he’s cell-block and sawdust. Sayer spends her days in litigation, while Zeb spends his working with his hands. She’s French silk, he’s all denim and flannel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zeb’s wanted the stunning blonde since the moment he laid eyes on her. It doesn't matter how many smooth moves he makes, the reserved lawyer seems determinedly oblivious to his interest—either that or she doesn't return it. Sayer is certain the rough, hard, hot-as-hell Zeb could never want someone as closed off and restrained as she is, which is a shame because something tells her he might be the guy to finally melt her icy exterior.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But just as things start to heat up, Zeb is blindsided by a life altering moment from his past. He needs Sayer’s professional help to right a wrong and to save more than himself. He can’t risk what’s at stake just because his attraction to Sayer feels all consuming. But as these opposites dig in for the fight of their lives, battling together to save a family, the steam created when fire and ice collide can no longer be ignored.</div>

He took a step closer to me and
put his finger under my chin so that I had no choice but to look at that
darkening green gaze. “You know what<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> is</i>
a big deal?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
Without thinking I put my wet
hand on the center of his chest and watched as my handprint covered the place
where his heart was thudding heavy and strong. He felt so vital and real, like
everything I had had my hands on before him was just make-believe. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“What?” My voice came out more of
a whisper than anything else. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“We hung out, I bought you
dinner, we talked about our families and shit. We shared. This was a date,
Sayer. Maybe not the best first date ever but it was still a date, so you know
what that means.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
I did? I was still trying to get
my head around the fact that it really had been kind of a date when his head
lowered toward mine and my lips tickled as his beard got close enough to brush
against them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“It means we went on a date, so
now you should absolutely put your hands on my dick…a lot. My gentlemanly
tendencies only reach so far and with you they have about reached the end of
the line.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
I gulped a little. “Oh.” That
sounded like so many different kinds of dangerous and delicious. I had never asked
him to be a gentleman, and frankly one of the reasons I was so attracted to him
was because he seemed so rugged and untamed by the conventions I was used to
and bored to death by. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
“Yeah, oh…which I fully intend to
make you say over and over again while I’m as deep inside of you as I can get.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
When his mouth settled over mine,
it was an entirely different mess I was suddenly worried about. There was going
to be no cleaning up the wreckage that was going to be left of my heart and
body when this man was done with me and that felt entirely like a great big
deal even though I was helpless to stop it. It was one mess I intended to
embrace and not apologize for even if that went against everything I had
ingrained deep down within the very core of me.</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was told that dreams were our heart’s desires. My nightmares, however, became my obsession.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">His name is Michael Crist.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My boyfriend’s older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college’s basketball team and now gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But I noticed him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I saw him. I heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now, I’ve graduated high school and moved on to college, but I haven’t stopped watching Michael. He’s bad, and the dirt I’ve seen isn’t content to stay in my head anymore.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Because he’s finally noticed me.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My brother’s girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven’t had her body, I know that I have her mind. That’s all I really want anyway.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The opportunity is too good to be true as well as the timing. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they’re out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We’ve waited. We’ve been patient. And now every last one of her nightmares will come true.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">~ REVIEW ~</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">5 STARS</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was a very different piece of work written by the author. It was very sensual, dark, suspense, and romantic in it's own way but most of all very dark.<br /><br />Corrupt centers around Rika and her hero Michael. FYI, Michael's a different sort of hero. Not your average hero like the other heroes of this author. They have a very complicated relationship. From present and jumping back to the past. Here, you would understand how their relationship got strained and how it not only affected them but their mutual friends as well, which made them suffer. <br /><br />I won't go into details about what happened but I never expected the reason and the revelation that was revealed regarding that matter. And it doesn't even end there because till now someone still intents to make their life a misery and most of all end their existence.<br /><br />While reading Corrupt, I had to stop reading some scenes because my heart just couldn't handle what they've all been through. And time wasted between them was like a sucker punch to the heart that it kind of reminded me of the years lost between Jared and Tate and what else they wasted. That's how hard it was for me to read this book. I'm still amazed I read it till the end.<br /><br />Also, while reading, I was wishing to read the stories of the other gang and although the announced she would/might write the others' stories it would take awhile. Not that I mind waiting. Reading Corrupt, you would have a short history of the other guys and I hope they get to have their own happy ending even for the one who betrayed them.<br /><br />I received an arc for a blog tour. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I fell back to my feet and crept through my apartment as I listened to the pounding that had now become a steady attack. My feet followed the sound, stepping absently closer to it, and I finally pressed my ear against the wall leading to my hallway, my heart racing as the vibrations touched my skin. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Resting my cheek against the surface, I swallowed the tight lump in my throat as the thumping against the wall grew faster and faster. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There was someone over there. In the empty apartment. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Holding up my phone, I dialed the office downstairs but got no answer. I knew there was a night manager named Simon Something-Or-Other, but I didn’t think many people were on duty at night. He must be away from his desk. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I continued listening, wondering if I could ignore it and just wait until morning to ask the manager about it, but the further down the hall I travelled, the louder it got until I was standing next to the rear entrance. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Opening up the door, I peeked my head into the hallway, holding the heavy steel exit open just enough to inspect. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Glancing to my right, I saw a door just like mine. And then I heard a woman’s high-pitched cry ring out around me, and I started breathing harder. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And then there was another cry. And another, and another, and…</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Was she having sex? My mouth fell open as I tried not to laugh. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I stepped out, knife in hand—just in case—and walked quietly down to the other door, glancing up and seeing small security cameras along the wall, probably installed when the apartments were built. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pressing my ear to the door, I listened, still hearing the thump, thump, thump of something hitting the wall, and the girl’s breathy cries over and over again. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I folded my lips between my teeth, covering my smile with my free hand. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But then the woman cried out. “No! Ah, oh, God! Please!”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And my face fell, hearing the fear in her voice. The short, shrill screams were now different. Panicked and scared, and her cries sounded struggled. My mouth suddenly went dry as I stood there listening. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Ah!” she cried out again. “No, please stop!”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I backed away from the door, not finding it funny anymore. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But then something hit the door from the other side, making a loud thud, and I scurried backward. “Oh, shit,” I gritted out under my breath. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I shot my head up to the cameras, now wondering if they fed to Security downstairs or to whoever was inside the apartment. Did they know I was out here? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I spun around and dashed for my door, grabbing the handle and trying to twist it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But it was locked. “Dammit!” I mouthed. Fucking thing must lock automatically. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another thud hit the door, mere feet away from me—so close—and I darted my eyes over to it, my breathing turning fast and painful. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I pulled on the door handle again, twisting and yanking, but it didn’t budge. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another thud hit the door, and I jerked upright, dropping the knife. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Shit.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I dived down to pick it up, but just then I heard the other door swing open, so I bolted down the stairwell, hiding behind the wall and forgetting about the knife. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fuck!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Screw this. Whoever was coming out of the vacant apartment was definitely someone I didn’t want to meet. I dashed down flight after flight, a cry lodged in my throat as fear gripped my chest. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A pounding echoed above me, and I spared a quick glance upward, seeing a hand sliding down the railings as whoever it was jumped flights of stairs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oh, my God. I raced down, one flight after the other, a drop of sweat gliding down my neck. The pounding was getting closer and closer, my legs about to give out as my exhausted muscles worked as fast as they could. I gasped, seeing the door labeled LOBBY. I yanked it open and burst through, looking behind me once again to see if he—or she—was behind me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But then I slammed into a wall, and I let out a small cry as hands gripped my upper arms.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I looked up and exhaled a breath, seeing Michael Crist towering over me, his eyes narrowed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Michael?” I breathed out, frozen in confusion. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“What the hell are you doing?” He arched a brow and set me back, away from him, and let go of my arm. “It’s after one a.m.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Why was he here?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He stood in front of an elevator, a different one than I had taken this morning, dressed in a black suit, looking like he’d just been at a club or something. A young brunette stood next to him, beautiful in a tight, navy-blue cocktail dress that fell mid-thigh. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I suddenly felt exposed, dressed in my silk sleep shorts and black tank top, my hair hanging about, probably in tangles. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I…” I looked over my shoulder again, noticing that whoever had followed me down the stairs hadn’t come out the door yet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I twisted my head back, looking up at Michael. “I heard something up on my floor,” I told him. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And then I shook my head, still confused. “What are you doing here?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“I live here,” he shot back, and I immediately recognized that ever-present intolerant tone that he always used with me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Live here?” I questioned. “I thought you lived in your family’s building.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He slid a hand into his pocket and cocked his head, looking at me point-blank like I was stupid. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I closed my eyes, expelling a sigh. “Of course,” I breathed out, realization hitting. “Of course. You’re the one who lives on the twenty-second floor.”</span></div>

<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">When Eliza Rose found out she was a witch, she thought she’d be casting spells…</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />However, it turns out Eliza is on her way to becoming a mystical assassin. But first she has to start college with her best friend Dawn Roberts and her feline familiar Jared. If you think college is stressful, try finding your best friend being seduced—nearly to death—by a venomous fairy. Something is horribly wrong, and Eliza must find out what it is.<br /><br />Knowing who’s who in the Mystical world can be a burden—or save her life…<br /><br />Murderous mermaids, seductive fairies, and manipulative elves are terrifying enough, but pure witches can become corrupt…and they’re the most dangerous creatures of all. Eliza struggles to discover the source of this chaos, but is repeatedly attacked—and saved by a shadowy figure. On a very personal note, Eliza must learn whether corruption is beginning to claim her mother.<br /><br />Her strongest ally might be handsome, enigmatic Donovan—but he is hiding a shocking secret…<br /><br />Donovan wants nothing to do with his old gang—not after the things they’d made him do. But when he meets Eliza, he’s both frustrated by her amateur skills and impressed by her emerging strength, and he feels compelled to help her grow into the assassin she’s meant to be.<br /><br />Every answer has a price, and there are beings born to corrupt the pure.<br /><br />Eliza fights to master her skills before it’s too late, while Donovan must determine whether Eliza can be saved…or if she must die to keep her out of the hands of those who would use her powers to reign over all of Mystical.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I don’t
know what caused me to not be afraid of falling to my death, but my reflexes
were just dying to be used and enabled me to react swiftly. I see David’s fangs
above me as he darts for my chest. I roll over as the sharp teeth pierce the
stairway I was just at seconds before. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I cover my
head with my purse to block his next attack. Venom seeps through my bag’s
fabric. I side kick the monster’s body and proceed to climb down the staircase
as fast as I can, but I trip over my heels and stumble down the steps.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I feel
wetness around the knuckles of my fingers. The feeling burns and sizzles my
skin. I glance at my hands and see David’s slender tongue around them. He
tightens his grip and flings me off the handles I’m holding on to. I grunt as I
land on my back with my head slamming into the metal underneath me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He slams
his thick tail through the air, aiming for my body. His tail begins to coil
around my body, constricting me. I close my eyes and roll to my side. I am too
slow and begin to choke from the intense pain he is causing me. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My dagger
is on the ground next to me. I glance at my weapon and at David. Stacy is out
of sight. She must have run away. I reach out for my weapon, managing to get it
before he snaps my thin body. His venomous slobber falls down on the ground.
His eyes are filled with corruption, evil, confusion, and anger. He watches my
every move. Then he releases me and swings his tail, breaking another piece off
the stairs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I feel
like we’re going to fall and he’s breaking the staircase on purpose. He might
survive this, but I know I won’t, so I need to stop his plan. I twirl my dagger
between my fingers. My bushy hair flows behind me as I run.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I dive for him, aiming for his throat.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His sharp
tail wraps around my sides and holds me in the air. He makes a sound as if he
is laughing. I grunt in pain as he holds me. My eyes are burning. I smell
David’s vinegar flesh tearing apart. His grip loosens as I stab the back of his
head. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The mystic
falls down against me as the staircase rips apart.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Former tennis player Easton Bradbury is trying to be the best teacher she can be, trying to reach her bored students and trying to forget her past. What brought her to this stage in her life isn’t important. She can’t let it be. But now one parent-teacher meeting may be her undoing…</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Meeting Tyler Marek for the first time makes it easy for Easton to see why his son is having trouble in school. The man knows how to manage businesses and wealth, not a teenage boy. Or a young teacher, for that matter, though he tries to. And yet…there is something about him that draws Easton in—a hint of vulnerability, a flash of attraction, a spark that might burn.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wanting him is taboo. Needing him is undeniable. And his long-awaited touch will weaken Easton’s resolve—and reveal what should stay hidden…</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I narrowed my eyes, ready to object, but he grabbed my elbow and led me away from the group so fast I nearly stumbled along the brick path.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“What are you doing?” I whispered as he moved his hand to my back, continuing to lead me off the patio and into the house.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But he didn’t answer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Most of the guests were outside, but there were a few scattered about, browsing around the house, as well as servers gathering food and supplies to refresh the tables.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Tyler, someone will see us,” I whisper-yelled this time, trying to dig in my heels and stop him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But once we were past the bustle of the kitchen, he took my hand and pulled me down the dimmed hallway and past the foyer to his den.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He opened the door, dragged me inside, and slammed it closed. Releasing my hand, he walked behind his desk and crossed his arms over his chest, locking eyes with me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What the hell was wrong with him?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The woman simply wanted an introduction. Did he think I didn’t know how to be discreet? She couldn’t possibly have recognized me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Or maybe he was angry about my behavior before she arrived. I guess I wasn’t so discreet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“What did he say to you?” Tyler barked out. “When he whispered in your ear?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I cocked my head, choosing to be stubborn.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Does it matter?” I played.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He shook his head, letting out a bitter laugh. “Not everything that’s in your head needs to come out of your mouth,” he scolded.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ah, now we were getting somewhere.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Are you angry because of what I said or because I drew attention to myself?” I inquired, crossing my arms as well. “Maybe I shouldn’t wear any short skirts either.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He placed his hands palm down on his desk and glared at me. “That’s not what this is about.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Right.” I smiled. “Let me guess. I forgot my place. Legs open, mouth closed, right?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He pulled up, slowly circling the desk and looking down at me. “Don’t be dramatic.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My skin tingled, and my heart sped up. “What are you really mad about?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“What did he say say to you?” His full bottom lip was tight with tension.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I forgot.” I shrugged. “Something about his dick.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His entire face hardened. “I should’ve hit him.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Then why didn’t you?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Because I’m not a child!” he bellowed. “I’m an adult who picks his battles. I don’t just run off, half-cocked, no matter how much I wanted to see him bloody for even getting near you.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Too bad,” I taunted, a slight smile on my lips. “If you had, I’d be in here on my knees, sucking your dick right now instead of thinking about his.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His eyes flared, and he bared his teeth. Grabbing me by the jaw in one hand and hovering his lips just over mine, he slowly swung me around and slammed my ass against the desk, the small tray of file folders on the corner spilling to the floor.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My blood raced. <i>Yes</i>.</span></div>

<br />A human bent on free love. And drunk.
<br />A joke could be made with those two lines.
</span>
<span style="color: black;"><br />But the town of Woodland Creek, it's no laughing matter. Hostile and
magical residents guard their secrets. It's too easy to be found out.
</span>

off the clock tower. After all, she is gripping his private parts to
lean over and see his town. One little push is all it would take...

~ REVIEW ~ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 STARS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Reading the first scene, I laughed quiet a few times then the whole story line as well. I loved some sense of humor in stories. Kennedy was quiet a character with her previous character but that all changed on the night she fell of the tower drunk and saved by a wizard which frankly opened her eyes to see what's really happening in her reality. <br /><br />Isaac reminded me of someone but I still love him anyway. It was very funny the first time he saw Kennedy without realizing who she was especially when Kennedy admitted about that night. You could hear a pin drop. His family was really interesting and the scenes with the mother was just hilarious.<br /><br />This does not only center with the romance aspect but also the sort of prophecy about Kennedy and Isaac and for them to save the other paranormals of Woodland Creek from a certain evil.<br /><br />The other characters were interesting too, which I was hoping they could have their own story. <br /><br />I received an arc from the author in exchange for an honest review.<br />

I walked<br />
away so she could be happy, moving across the country to make sure I put space between us. We severed ties, and I promised myself I wouldn't look back.</h2>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">
Since then I committed to someone else, and we have a child<br />

With my own marriage failing, I'm forced to go back to my<br />
hometown to bury the man who raised me. I never expected to see her there, and nothing could prepare me for what would happen the moment my arms wrapped around hers again.</h2>

"You have every right to assume this can't be anything more than a temporary affair. I don't blame you for being cautious, but there is something I want you to know."<br />
<br />
She turned around, finally looking right at me with those hesitant eyes. "What?"<br />
<br />
"I still love you." I swallowed the lump in my throat as the words came out, silently praying she wouldn't force me to leave. It wasn't every day that I told someone other than my wife I loved them, but in this instance it was the truest statement I'd ever made. "I feel like I've loved you for a lifetime. It’s true. I have loved my wife, but it’s not the same. It’s always been you, Rach. You’re the only woman I know I’ll never be able to let go of. Staying away was my only option. I did it to protect both of our lives, but there’s nothing standing in the way anymore. Please don't deny us a second chance." I paused one more time. "I need you, just as much as I think you need me."<br />
<br />
Her shoulders relaxed, and I watched her purse fall from her grip and hit the concrete ground. She shrugged while staring into my eyes. Her lips were trembling, allowing me to almost sense the connection between us. "I'm not strong enough to be with you again. I can't handle anymore heartache. Being close to you scares me, because I’m tired of the pain and suffering."<br />
<br />
I took two steps forward, breaking the distance between us. "I'm not capable of hurting you again, Rach. If you give me this chance I promise I won't let you down. Let me be your friend again, and whatever comes with it will be determined by both of us."<br />

<b>About DARING HER LOVE:</b><br />
<br />
This BRADEN novella features Kat Martin, Brianna Heart's best friend from HEARTS AT PLAY (The Bradens, #6) with appearances from the hot, wealthy, and wickedly naughty Bradens you know and love.<br />
<br />
In DARING HER LOVE…<br />
<br />
Kat Martin knows what she wants in a man—someone stable and adoring, definitely not the type of guy who sleeps around. After all, Kat rarely does the wrong thing—until she meets seductively enticing Eric James, and suddenly wrong has never felt so right.<br />
<br />
When it comes to his career, race-car driver Eric James is intense, obsessive, and passionate, but when it comes to sex, there’s only one kind—daring, unbridled, and no-strings-attached.<br />
<br />
One stormy night, a delayed flight and the dangerous allure of the unknown leads Kat to throw caution to the wind, and she indulges in a rendezvous that she vows to immediately forget—but the secret tryst stirs something possessive in Eric, and forgetting is not an option.<br />

<b><u>Release Day Launch Excerpt:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“You did great on the plane tonight.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She rolled her eyes. “I can do better. And my other fears are sort of silly. I know you’ll laugh, but I used to be afraid of driving fast.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He arched a brow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Don’t worry. I totally love driving fast now. Of course, fast in Richmond means sixty-five miles per hour. Nothing like the high speeds you and Hugh drive.” She reached for her bag, and he touched her hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I’ve got it.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“It’s okay. I can take it.” She didn’t want to lead him on, but there was no denying the heat between them, which had only gotten stronger on the drive over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Don’t worry, you don’t have to sleep with me for me to carry your bag.” His lips quirked up, and before she could respond, he added, “But you’ll want to, and who am I to try to dissuade you?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hell, yeah, she wanted to—but she couldn’t go there. Not at the Braden ranch and not with a man who’d already proved that he could easily turn her world upside down—and would then move on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Eric, I’m not sleeping with you again.” <i>No matter how much I want to</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He closed the trunk, and with moonlight shining down on his gorgeous face and his eyes boring into her, he stepped closer and said, “If the airport was all we’ll ever have, then how about one final kiss?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“A kiss?” She was already salivating at the thought.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“One kiss.” He stepped closer, causing their thighs to brush, and she felt the heat of him from her head to her toes and in all the best places in between. “Then that’s it. A send-off, if you will.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“A send-off.” This guy was trouble with a capital <i>T</i>. She’d like to get him off, not send him off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The darkening of his eyes told her that he didn’t miss the breathlessness she felt. He ran his fingers through her hair, settling his warm palm over the nape of her neck and sending a now slightly familiar rush of anticipation through her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Tell me no,” he said in a rich voice, “and I’ll back off.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>No</i>, was on the tip of her tongue, but it got lost somewhere between <i>please</i> and <i>kiss me now</i>. She clutched the waist of his pants, unsure of her voice, and hoped he’d take it as confirmation that she wanted the kiss just as much as he did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Kat,” he whispered against her lips. “You’re not going to be able to forget me. I won’t let you.”</div>

<b>About RAGE</b></h2>
Having made it to the major leagues, AJ "<b>Rage</b>" Romero is determined to shake the stigma his temper has earned him over the years. He's finally managed a shaky hold of that elusive self-control.<br />
<br />
<b>Until he meets them . . .</b><br />
<br />
Without warning, his coach and mentor's brilliantly gifted granddaughter Clair and her equally amazing mother Addison Lara blow into AJ's life. The harder he falls for Addison, the closer and more attached he becomes to Clair.<br />
<br />
Having fallen so fast and hard, he agrees to respect the understandably protective single mother's wish to forever keep the identity of Clair's absent father unknown to everyone—including AJ.<br />
<br />
But when the ugly truth about Clair's dad begins to surface, the fire in AJ's fiercely possessive heart is lit. As more of the troubling reality comes to light, his zero tolerance for secrets and dishonesty put his temper—and his love for Addison—to the ultimate test.<br />
<br />
<b>Self-control has never felt so impossible.</b><br />
<br />

<b>Read an excerpt from RAGE now!</b></h2>
AJ kissed her again, feeling a mixture of bliss and disquiet. He’d been so glad that he finally seemed to have a handle on his short fuse. It really did feel like a weakness, and it felt more important than ever that he didn’t come across as weak. Suddenly, he had two very important reasons to continue to be a class act—minus the flaw. There were two people in his life now who he knew he’d have to prove he was worthy of being a big part of their daughter’s lives. And rightfully so. Only he could already tell that fuse would be extra short when it came to anything that involved Addison and Clair. He didn’t want to blow this.<br />
<br />
He had his work cut out for him, but she was worth it. They were absolutely worth it. Addison and Clair were a package deal, a precious package he now felt she’d bestowed a rare opportunity to try and win over.<br />
<br />
The kiss was supposed to be a soft one: a sweet, harmless, getting-to-taste-the-lips-and tongue-that-belonged-to-him-now kiss. But the longer he kissed her, the more frenzied it got. Like the irrepressible rage that often overtook any self-control, the hunger he was feeling for Addison now overwhelmed him. He had to pull away. Catch his breath. Calm his pounding heart—his throbbing c*ck. “So the just-between-you-and-me stuff,” he said breathlessly. “Exactly how slow did you want to take that?”<br />

<b>Erika</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was told that dreams were our heart’s desires. My nightmares, however, became my obsession.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
His name is Michael Crist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My boyfriend’s older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college’s basketball team and now gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I noticed him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I saw him. I heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, I’ve graduated high school and moved on to college, but I haven’t stopped watching Michael. He’s bad, and the dirt I’ve seen isn’t content to stay in my head anymore.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because he’s finally noticed me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Michael</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My brother’s girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven’t had her body, I know that I have her mind. That’s all I really want anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my city.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unprotected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The opportunity is too good to be true as well as the timing. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they’re out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We’ve waited. We’ve been patient. And now every last one of her nightmares will come true.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I turned and stalked off, taking a left down the hallway toward the elevator. The doors opened as soon as I pushed the button, and I stepped inside, trying to calm my racing heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They still intimidated me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And excited me. And challenged me. And knotted me up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I’d kind of wanted to go to a party but not with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The doors started closing, but just then a hand shot into the elevator, and I jumped, seeing the doors re-open. I sucked in a breath, staring wide-eyed as Michael reached in, grabbed my shirt by the collar with one hand, and pulled me out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
“Michael!” I shouted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stumbled into him, and before I knew what was happening, he grabbed my wrists and locked them behind my back, walking into me and forcing me backward, back down the hall toward the kitchen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
“Let me go!” I demanded, my lips brushing the tip of his chin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
“I don’t know, guys,” he teased over my head, “she still seems pretty fucking easy to push around. What do you think?”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Laughter greeted me as he forced me back into the living area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every muscle in my body was on fire, and the tips of my toes kept getting caught under his sneakers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I twisted my body, trying to break his hold. “What the hell are you doing?”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I pushed against his chest and jerked my body to the left, tearing out of his hold with every muscle I could muster.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stumbled, losing my balance, and fell backward, crashing to the floor. Pain shot through my ass, running down my legs as the fall knocked the wind out me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shooting my hands behind me, I pushed myself up and bent my knees, looking up at him as he advanced.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He stalked over and then stopped, towering over me. I immediately moved my hands and feet, crawling backward, away from him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But then I felt something at my back, and I halted. I twisted my head, seeing a dark pant leg, and I didn’t know if it was Damon, Will, or Kai, but it didn’t matter. I was closed in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh, no. I slowly raised my eyes, seeing Michael’s lips tilt in a devious smile. I stopped breathing, seeing him lower his body to the floor, planting his knees between my bent legs, and his hands at my sides.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My neck arched back as his face hovered over mine, but I tried to keep myself up as much as possible, no matter how close his body got.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
“I thought you were one of us,” his whispered, his breath caressing my lips. “I thought you could play.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stilled, staring into his eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You’re one of us now. Will had said that to me on that night so long ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Michael’s amber eyes searched mine and then dropped to my mouth, his breathing growing heavy as he stared at me like he was about to take a bite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wanted to cry. What the hell was going on?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Three years ago was nearly the happiest night of my life, and it quickly became the worst. And ever since then, Michael not only acted as if I didn’t exist, but also, at times, as if he wished I didn’t.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now the guys were free, and they were all back together again. What did I have to do with any of this? What did he want with me?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
“I don’t know this game,” I told him, barely audible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He stared into my eyes, thinning his own as if studying me. “All you need to know,” he finally answered, “is that you can’t tap out.”</div>

<b>About WOLF BAIT:</b><br />
<br />
WOLF BAIT is the first book in the <i>Wolf Cove Series</i>.<br />
<br />
When life turns to hell, most people <i>talk </i>about running away. Abbi Mitchell actually does it. Determined to escape her humiliating heartbreak and her overbearing mother, Abbi takes a summer job at a resort in Alaska. It's supposed to be four months of snow-capped mountains, peaceful wilderness, and figuring out if she should wait for her lifelong sweetheart to come back, as he has promised he'll do.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Instead, it's Henry Wolf.</i></b><br />
<br />
Owner of the luxury hotel chain, Henry Wolf is cool and composed, successful with everything he touches, and undeniably beautiful. And for some reason Abbi can't fathom, he wants her—the farm girl from small town, USA with no corporate experience—as his personal assistant.<br />
<br />
Abbi scrambles to meet his professional demands while she battles her growing attraction to him. Physical feelings she shouldn't have because he's her boss, because she's <i>way </i>out of her league with him, and because they'll never be reciprocated.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Until they are.</i></b><br />
<br />
Will Abbi be able to let go of herself—her values, her dreams, and her inhibitions—to give him all that he's demanding of her?<br />
<br />

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447817753569_3217" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">I
frown, confused. “Who? The big bad wolf?”</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447817753569_3218" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">She
laughs. “Henry Wolf, the owner.”</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447817753569_3223" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Her
eyes widen knowingly. “Just you wait. There isn’t a warm-blooded female here
who wouldn’t spread her legs for that man’s tongue.”</span></div>
<div class="yiv9998271140MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447817753569_3225" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447817753569_3224" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">My
cheeks flush. Not that I haven’t wondered what it would feel like to have a
man—Jed—go down on me. I don’t understand how I’ll ever psych myself up to allowing
it. I can’t even touch myself without knowing that I’ll feel sinful once my
climax has come and gone. I clear my throat. “So the owner’s here?” I never
bothered to read up on the Wolf family, more interested in Alaska and the hotel
itself.</span></div>

believe me, there’s no mistaking that man.” Autumn takes a swig from her flask.
“He spoke at my grad ceremony two years ago. I guarantee you every woman’s
panties were soaked through by the end of it. Maybe a few men’s, too.”</span></div>
<div class="yiv9998271140MsoNormal" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447817753569_3226" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1447817753569_3227" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Another
round of laughter. I can feel my face turning red at the crassness of their
conversation. Not that I don’t think these things, or feel these things. I’ve
just been taught never to discuss them openly like this. And my circle of
friends at school doesn’t talk like that either.</span></div>

bottom drawers with clothes for both warm and cold weather, while the girls
discuss the owner.</span></div>

<b>The Forbidden Muse </b><br />
<b>Aubrey Parker </b><br />
(Inferno Falls, #2)<br />
Publication date: November 10th 2015<br />
Genres: New Adult, Romance<br />
<blockquote>
<b>Gavin might just be the music that Abigail yearns for … if only his painful past will allow him to love again.</b><br />
Just a few months after arriving at Inferno Falls, Abigail can’t see the light at the end of her tunnel. No one can complain about being overworked and broke when the rest of the country’s the same way, but that doesn’t make it any easier when Abigail has to live the story every day. It’s not the work or the meager lifestyle she minds. Abigail wants something more…something inspired…something <i>raw</i>.<br />
Gavin is a grieving musician trying to re-find his inspiration. He’s mourning a crushing loss, and life has become too mundane, too typical, to give him the material for songs that used to come so easy. What could he expect to find in Inferno Falls that would truly stir his heart? After all, he’s been shattered by love too many times to find any comfort in a woman’s arms.<br />
<i>The song begins…</i><br />
Strings play the moment they meet in Abigail’s section of the Nosh Pit, Inferno Falls’ latest and hippest restaurant, and their pulses thunder like a drumbeat from the moment their eyes touch. Abigail feels a stirring in her heart she never expected, while Gavin goes home to pour his inspiration into music.<br />
But despite their obvious harmony, Gavin’s past won’t let anyone get too close. And after years of heartache, Abigail doesn’t have time for anyone who seems like they’re just playing around. Together they’ll have to learn to sing in chorus, or let the stage lights fade and bow out of each other’s lives for good.<br />

He’s on a stool in the stages’s middle, just like last night. He’s monopolizing the entire thing, plopping down, acting like the place is his personal studio.<br />
He looks up. I don’t have time to look away, and our eyes meet. Now that I’m trapped, I refuse to look away first. I got the upper hand at the end of last night, I think, but Gavin ran off with his skank, so it’s possible he thinks he won. If I’m weak, he might come over and talk to me again, and I don’t want that. So I hold his gaze, and eventually he looks down. Not shamefully, though. He puts his fingers on the strings and strums, as if I barely warrant notice, or a nod, or a smile, or a hello, or any kind of acknowledgement at all.<br />
<br />
I turn back to my bottle chore, but now and again I sneak glances at Gavin. His bearing is obnoxious. The way he’s sitting, the way he’s holding the guitar, the brooding way he refuses to look up and seems lost in the soul of the music — it’s all so obvious. A show. Nothing but posturing.<br />
I’ll bet he even works on this — not the music he plays, but the way he uses his body to convey an image of the tortured artist. His floppy, vaguely hipster sweater hangs down over faded blue jeans. He’s still unshaven, but the stubble looks exactly the same length as yesterday. His hair is still a mess, but again it strikes me as a contrived mess, like he’s mussed it for effect.<br />
He probably takes video of himself then plays it back like a coach reviewing past games.<br />
<i>Was I moody enough? Or could I lift an eyebrow or shake my head slowly, to be more sultry, to get more girls excited?</i><br />
It’s not working on me, that’s for sure.<br />
I look back. Gavin’s head comes up. Again, he looks right at me as he plays. It’s a mock-sad look. Or maybe a dirty look. Something designed to manipulate me.<br />
There was probably a point where he could have made nice. There’s even a part of me, buried beneath a surprisingly thick wall of resentment, that thinks I might be being unreasonable. Since last night, I’ve had no new Gavin inputs — nothing new he’s had a chance to do wrong. Still, I’ve grown increasingly annoyed with him, and as I listen it’s hard not to consider the possibility that he’s done nothing new, and that I’ve been building my case in his absence. All it’s taken for him to seem more repugnant since last night was to know he exists.<br />
But the longer we don’t speak, the further we move from possible resolution.<br />
He could have said hello when he came in, before he started playing. I wouldn’t have run to him and given him a hug, but it might have dulled my edge.<br />
He could have given me a smile, without saying a thing. Smiles can say a lot. I’d probably have taken his as, <i>I’m still a weasel and I want to get into your panties</i>, but it would have been friendlier than this.<br />
What is he trying to prove, rehearsing in the main room? There are only four or five people in here at any time, and he’s directly across from me, out of all of them.<br />
Does he need us to hear his brilliance? How amazing he is on the guitar, playing his … his …<br />
I don’t know the tune he’s been strumming over and over since he sat down. That’s not surprising. I may have Googled him this morning, and I may have listened to every Firecracker Confession tune I could find on YouTube — even a bootleg of their unreleased album, Brutal Design — but I don’t <i>know</i> all of his songs.<br />
I do see, now, that most of what he plays is recycled Firecracker content, though. But this isn’t any of that. Last night, I’m pretty sure his entire rehearsal and set was just the YouTube songs, stripped of lyrics and played acoustic.<br />
I may have listened to every Firecracker Confession song twice this morning, then hit a few more between shifts. I don’t know everything he’s ever done, but I don’t think this was ever on YouTube.<br />
I have to admit it’s catchy, though I can tell he’s still playing with its shape. There’s little beyond the hook, but I can sense it fleshing out a bit with each replay. As I stew with my back to Gavin, turning bottles that have already been turned, I find myself wanting to hear it again.<br />
And I can almost hear words, though he’s not singing any. The words are in my head. The kind of refrain my idle brain will attribute to just about any rhythm — a recurring pattern of footsteps, the predictable drip of rain from a leaky gutter.<br />
The repeated chord progression stops, and the room seems too quiet. I take a few seconds before I turn to see why, sure that Gavin will be walking over, wanting to bug me as he did last night before and after showing his true colors. Good. I’ve been rehearsing witty, cutting responses all day.<br />
But he’s not even looking in my direction. There’s a young guy onstage with him. A kid in a hoodie with short, bristle-cut hair. He looks about my age, maybe midtwenties. But even the motions of his hands as he talks to Gavin tells me that his words have a maturity beyond his years. And, I suspect, that I’m witnessing a discussion these two have had many times before.<br />
I’m staring too long and don’t want Gavin to look over and take my look for interest, so I spin and head toward the back room, hoping to find someone to ease my mind of all this confused, disturbing emotion.<br />
I walk away, realizing I’m humming Gavin’s tune.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Amelia grew up in a world of half-truths. She knows she's an Elder, but has no idea what that means. Her father reminds her daily that she must maintain control, but he refuses to explain why. Even worse, she's betrothed to the prince of the Immortals and doesn't even know his name.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally breaking free to live a few normal years at a community college, the last thing Amelia expects is to find her best friend in a cheeky southern girl, or fall for a self-assured human who sees her for who she is, not what she will become.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As she learns more about herself, Amelia realizes the line between love and duty is a thin one. As her power continues to increase exponentially and her questions are slowly answered, Amelia must make the ultimate choice. The question is, will her head win the battle, or her heart?<br class="p3br" /></span></div>

<b>EXCERPT:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Michael Brouchard has staged the congratulatory dinner she never had, the one her father effectively canceled a year before when he stormed out of the house in a rage. As if the balloons weren’t enough, there’s a bottle of champagne chilling in an ice bucket next to the table. Laney hesitates behind her empty chair, grasping the back of it with one sweaty hand. She reads the champagne bottle’s label in the flickering candlelight. It’s VeuveClicquot, the vintage, her first year of high school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They’ve only had one conversation that’s lasted longer than a few minutes, and already Michael has filled a gap in her life. Not only that, he recognized it was there in the first place, that it was pulling at the fabric of her self-worth more than she wanted to admit. She knew tonight would be full of seductive risks, but didn’t expect to start here, with an overwhelming sense of having been seen and heard and valued.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He gestures to her empty chair, waits for her to take her seat before taking his own. Only once she’s seated does she realize Michael had extended his hand toward hers and she’d been too distracted by the balloons and the champagne to notice. Now there’s no going back to rectify her rudeness without sounding like a sputtering idiot. The host, who has stood by politely throughout her hesitation, hands her a menu and departs. She’s folding her napkin across her lap when she sees a large envelope resting against the edge of her plate, as large as a wedding invite. Her name is written on the outside in precise, draftsman-like handwriting. Just her first name. Not her last name. And not <i>Miss Foley, </i>which they both agreed he wouldn’t call her anymore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Laney.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her hands shake as she tears open the envelope, as she unfolds the piece of heavy sketch paper inside of it. The breath goes out of her when she finds herself staring down at the amazingly detailed pencil sketch of—<i>me. That’s </i>me<i>. That’s me holding a rosein one hand while more rose petals shower down all sides of me. Roses for the Rose Scholarship. Oh, my God. He </i>drew<i> me.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The card seems to waver suddenly. She’s blinking back tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She can’t remember the last time anyone has been this thoughtful, this kind. She’s never thought of herself as a victim of abuse. But what do you call an entire lifetime of having your own intelligence, your own competence used against you, an entire lifetime of everyone from your parents to your friends thinking they don’t really have to show up for you because you do such a good job of showing up for yourself?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes you don’t know you’ve got a shell around your heart until it cracks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Get it together, Laney. Get it—</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Laney…are you all right?” Michael asks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A sane and reasonable answer is right on the tip of her tongue.</div>

<b>About KISS THE FLAME: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a standalone novella that combines the worlds of THE FLAME and his novel, THE SURRENDER GATE, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice returns you to a mysterious candle shop in the New Orleans French Quarter where the scents of passion provide the courage to embrace your heart's desire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Are some risks worth taking?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laney Foley is the first woman from her hard working family to attend college. That's why she can't act on her powerful attraction to one of the gorgeous teaching assistants in her Introduction to Art History course. Getting involved with a man who has control over her final grade is just too risky. But ever since he first laid eyes on her, Michael Brouchard seems to think about little else but the two of them together. And it's become harder for Laney to ignore his intelligence and his charm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During a walk through the French Quarter, an intoxicating scent that reminds Laney of her not-so-secret admirer draws her into an elegant scented candle shop. The shop's charming and mysterious owner seems to have stepped out of another time, and he offers Laney a gift that could break down the walls of her fear in a way that can only be described as magic. But will she accept it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Light this flame at the scene of your greatest passion and all your desires will be yours...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lilliane Williams is a radiant, a supernatural being with the power to make your deepest sexual fantasy take shape around you with just a gentle press of her lips to yours. But her gifts came at a price. Decades ago, she set foot inside what she thought was an ordinary scented candle shop in the French Quarter. When she resisted the magical gift offered to her inside, Lilliane was endowed with eternal youth and startling supernatural powers, but the ability to experience and receive romantic love was removed from her forever. When Lilliane meets a young woman who seems poised to make the same mistake she did years before, she becomes determined to stop her, but that will mean revealing her truth to a stranger. Will Lilliane's story provide Laney with the courage she needs to open her heart to the kind of true love only magic can reveal?</div>

<br />
After publishing four <i>New York Times</i> bestselling thrillers by the age of 30 and being declared one of <i>People Magazine’s</i> Sexiest Men Alive, award-winning writer Christopher Rice became the first author to make his erotic romance debut part of the 1,001 DARK NIGHTS series. THE FLAME: A Desire Exchange Novella kicked off a steamy new series set in New Orleans, featuring magical candles and a sexy new breed of supernatural beings, The Radiants, who are devoted to helping heroes and heroines realize their heart’s desire. THE FLAME earned accolades from some of the biggest names in erotic romance and was quickly followed up by THE SURRENDER GATE: A Desire Exchange Novel, available from Evil Eye Concepts as a Blue Box Special. Aside from authoring eight works of dark suspense, Christopher is also the co-host and executive producer of a streaming Internet radio show he launched with his best friend, New York Times bestselling author Eric Shaw Quinn. Each Sunday at 8 PM ET/ 5 PM PT, THE DINNER PARTY SHOW WITH CHRISTOPHER RICE & ERIC SHAW QUINN brings you a new episode at TheDinnerPartyShow.com.<br />

~ REVIEW ~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 STARS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved how this series is a boxed set.<br /><br />We have the story of both daughter and mother. Kenna and Juliet. <br /><br />In Kenna's story, there was some sort of trouble brewing that led her mother to reveal what they truly are except not counting the chance of Kenna finding her mate the same day. It may sound easy but it isn't because there are two kinds of Elf and Juliet's kind has rules that may decided what kind of Elf Kenna is.<br /><br />Kenna's very spunky plus her mate. Just. YUM.<br /><br />In Juliet's story, we learned about her past. Of why she was an outsider and another familial secret revealed. Truth be told, before Juliet's story I was hoping for a certain Elf to have their own story. Little did I know about the shocking revelation in this book. And reading this, it makes perfect sense regarding Kenna.<br /><br />Last but not least we have Susan's story.<br />Susan has been in love with a certain elf for a long time but said elf practically doesn't see her as woman. Until a certain scenario where said elf told her the truth. Although I thought his decision wasted the years they could have been together. <br /><br />There's also more to this story than just Susan's love life but it pertains to the two previous heroines. I don't know whether to pity Juliet or be relieved about what happened. Still, I'm glad about a miracle for Juliet. I wished there was an epilogue seeing about these characters.<br /><br />I received an arc from the author in exchange for an honest review.</div>

Author Bio:<br />
Holli Anderson has a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing--which has nothing to do with writing, except maybe by adding some pretty descriptive injury and vomit scenes to her books. She discovered her joy of writing during a very trying period in her life when escaping into make-believe saved her. She enjoys reading any book she gets her hands on, but has a particular love for anything fantasy.<br />
Along with her husband, Steve, and their four sons, she lives in Grantsville, Utah--the same small town in which she grew up.<br />
