As a college senior juggling a full course load, Steph's only goal is to graduate with honors at the end of the semester. She’s focused, determined, and a firm believer in all work and no play. Then she meets Brandon Walker at a New Year’s Eve costume party. Despite his disguise, Steph finds herself attracted to the camouflaged soldier who curls her toes with a scorching midnight kiss.</span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br style="word-spacing: 0px;" /> <br style="word-spacing: 0px;" /> <span style="background: white;"><span style="float: none; word-spacing: 0px;">Brandon is an engineering major and ROTC student from the hills of Kentucky. Growing up as the son of a major general has given Brandon firsthand knowledge of the struggles military families sometimes face. Now that his father’s memory is fading, Brandon is even more determined to make his dad proud and graduate as an officer in the United States Army. Then he meets Stephanie, and suddenly, his focus is less on his military service and more on the pretty brunette who has stolen his heart. When he becomes aware of Steph’s resentment toward the military, he worries their relationship is doomed.</span></span><span style="background: white;"><span style="float: none; word-spacing: 0px;"> </span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Losing her father in Desert Storm has left Stephanie James with a bitter soul when it comes to the military. As a college senior juggling a full course load, Steph's only goal is to graduate with honors at the end of the semester. She’s focused, determined, and a firm believer in all work and no play. Then she meets Brandon Walker at a New Year’s Eve costume party. Despite his disguise, Steph finds herself attracted to the camouflaged soldier who curls her toes with a scorching midnight kiss.</span><span style="color: #181818; font-family: "Georgia","serif";"><br style="word-spacing: 0px;" /> <br style="word-spacing: 0px;" /> <span style="background: white;"><span style="float: none; word-spacing: 0px;">Brandon is an engineering major and ROTC student from the hills of Kentucky. Growing up as the son of a major general has given Brandon firsthand knowledge of the struggles military families sometimes face. Now that his father’s memory is fading, Brandon is even more determined to make his dad proud and graduate as an officer in the United States Army. Then he meets Stephanie, and suddenly, his focus is less on his military service and more on the pretty brunette who has stolen his heart. When he becomes aware of Steph’s resentment toward the military, he worries their relationship is doomed.</span></span><span style="background: white;"><span style="float: none; word-spacing: 0px;"> </span></span></span></span></div>

<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19035328-the-land-of-the-shadow"><i>The Land of the Shadow</i></a> is due to be released in August, and <a href="http://www.lissabryan.com/">Lissa Bryan</a> is giving away an autographed Advanced Review Copy!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Blurb:</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31px;">In the highly anticipated stand-alone sequel to <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16098272-the-end-of-all-things"><i>The End of All Things</i></a>, Lissa Bryan returns readers to a world devastated by disease, and the breakdown of modern society.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31px;">Two years after a horrific virus swept the globe, decimating the world’s population, Carly Daniels and her husband, Justin, have made a safe home in the isolated southern town of Colby. Protected by fences and a vigilant population, the residents there had somehow managed to keep the Infection out. Until the sight of Carly and Justin’s healthy baby girl convinced them it was safe to allow Outsiders in.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31px;">Now, in the wake of fresh losses, the small band of survivors struggles to rebuild a community. With only nineteenth-century technology to aid them, they must learn skills long forgotten to provide for their basic needs. Each day brings new challenges, and every choice they make affects their long-term survival. While Carly and Justin adjust to a growing family, and to their roles as community leaders, they must rely on one another for strength and support when they face difficult questions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31px;">Carly has to decide how to move forward in a world where equality, justice, and freedom from tyranny are no longer guaranteed. And when new threats emerge, she has to decide what she is willing to do—and how far she’s willing to go—to protect what she has worked so hard to build.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31px;">When the end has come and gone, it’s a journey down a long and broken road through <i>The Land of the Shadow.</i></span><br />

She spent her childhood inventing stories and telling tales. Her mind never shut down, even while she slept. Vivid dreams containing extensive, elaborate plot lines of good overcoming evil villains captured her nightly visions, lingering into her waking hours and filling the pages of her well-loved bounded diaries. She was encouraged by her parents, even at a young age, to write down her tales, and it has remained a somewhat secret hobby. As a busy wife, mother and critical care nurse, Allie’s love of storytelling has been reborn through the adventures of her unforgettable characters.</span><br />

Evil has pledged the destruction of humanity in spite of a power those that covet it could not possibly contain.

By guarding the most precious, piercing light they possess—their female kin known as the Oracles, or Dreamers—the Warriors have a chance against the darkness.</span></div>

Ms. Jean’s fascinating world exists within and beside ours. It’s occasionally glimpsed out of the corner of your eye yet gone when you turn. More of the history of the Fallen and Contrite is divulged giving rise to as many or more questions than were answered. The mythology being created is engrossing and elaborate.” – IvyD for Manic Readers</span></div>

All the beautiful ladies at Pearls of Asia are transsexuals. We also happen to be curvaceous, luscious, and all things deliciously glorious about being feminine. We’re Women 2.0—special girls with special equipment. That’s what makes us, as well as this place, unique. Pearls of Asia is more than just a restaurant; it’s about the quest for self-identity, about the right to own and control one’s body. We leave you questioning everything you think you know and see. If that’s not an outrageously fun night out, then I can’t help you, honey. Do you still want my phone number?”</span></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Summary:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After beloved San Francisco anchorwoman Michelle Osher is found nearly decapitated in her palatial Nob Hill apartment, suspicion focuses immediately on her wealthy, arrogant husband, Paul. Inspector Mac Fleet and his partner are assigned the sensational case, and they quickly uncover an all-too-familiar pattern linking the widowed spouse to Sheyla Samonte, a part-time waitress enjoying a lavish lifestyle on Paul Osher’s dime. The pair of seasoned detectives assume she wanted a promotion from mistress to wife.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The investigation turns on its head when they discover Sheyla, a drop-dead gorgeous dancer born and raised in the Philippines, works at Pearls of Asia, a stylish restaurant featuring a cast of exotic transsexual performers who serve up flirtatious teasers along with delicious cocktails. Mac crawls down a rabbit hole and comes face to face with the restaurant’s uniquely captivating servers—Diamond, Reyna, Nadia, and Ashley—and unveils a fascinating lifestyle full of drama, humor, and high heels. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Sheyla refuses to cooperate unless Inspector Fleet takes her to brunch, he agrees even though he knows it’s outside the lines of police protocol. Mac soon finds himself dealing with his own set of personal demons, unable to decide whether to arrest Sheyla or ask her on a date.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ensuing investigation reveals infidelities, betrayals, and a host of people who might want Michelle Osher dead. But as the case heats up, so does Mac’s romantic interest in Sheyla, whose stunning beauty and charming personality compel him to question her involvement, but not her courage, and to cross the line between his personal impulses and professional responsibilities. Convinced of Sheyla’s innocence, Mac devotes himself to finding the real killer. Ultimately, he is moved to take actions he never dreamed of to discover the truth about the case, Sheyla, and himself.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A loud laugh, more like a snort, came from where McKenzie stood. I shifted my eyes to catch her hand flying up over her mouth. The most beautiful shade of red painted her face and neck as she covered her mouth, turning her back to us.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“You see,” I started, “I have eyes for only one woman.” I glanced over to McKenzie. I couldn’t see her face, but her posture told me she knew exactly whom I was referring to. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I have my charms, sonny, but we just met. Let me get to know you first before you go around tellin’ everyone you have eyes for only me.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My mouth dropped. For a moment, the old woman had stunned me. However, I regained my composure quickly. “Sweetheart, you’re a beautiful woman, but you couldn’t handle me. I’m afraid I’d break you.”</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Granny released my chin and patted my cheek. “Boy, you don’t know how wrong you are.” She reached around and pinched my backside. “Firm. Nice.” I about died right there. Not many people could make me blush, but this old woman certainly was an exception.</span></div>

You don’t want to scare the boy to death.”</span></div>

Drew here is </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">all</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> man.”</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">

Wealth, success, happiness, and true love; everything a man could ever dream of, was right at his fingertips. Or so he thought. But in the blink of an eye, all of that changed. Upon discovering that his ex-girlfriend, Olivia Hamilton, was pregnant, Drew fell back into some old habits, which led to him losing the one person that mattered the most in his life - McKenzie Evans.</span></div>

The night before she left, he made an agreement with her best friend Jared Christopher, that he would give her time and space to come to grips with the fact that he’d fathered her best friend’s child. Now, two months later, he feels as though he held up his end of the bargain, Drew can’t take their separation any longer. With his brother’s wedding mere weeks away, Drew devises a plan to win McKenzie back.</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 23.79px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jeanne McDonald began telling stories at the ripe young age of five, when her mother considered the truth to be a lie due to her extensive embellishment to the retelling of an event. She wrote her first short story when she was twelve years old, and at the age of sixteen she tried her hand at poetry. She reconnected with her love for writing in 2010 thanks to the encouragement of a dear friend. </span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 23.79px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Her passions include a "mild" Starbucks addiction, music, reading, quotes, movies, and romance. When she's not spending time with her family, she can be found reading, writing, chatting with her friends or diligently working toward her bachelor's degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology. A proud Texan, Jeanne currently resides in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with her family.</span></span><br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Today we get a sneak peek of <em>How to Get Ainsley Bishop to Fall in Love with You, </em>the new YA release coming from T.M. Franklin on June 12th!</h2>
“You realize you’re forgetting one very important thing, don’t you?”<br />
“What’s that?” I followed Viney’s gaze to the auditorium doors in time to see Ian Buckley stride into the room, all sun-bleached hair and tanned skin, with broad shoulders and biceps perfectly wrapped up in a letterman’s jacket. “Oh. Ian.”<br />
“Yes. Ian.” Viney leaned against the console next to me. “Good-looking, popular jock. How do you compete with that?”<br />
“Looks and popularity aren’t everything.”<br />
“Right. He’s also rich and has a great car.”<br />
“His family owns a dealership. Hardly a great personal achievement.” Still, I chewed on my thumbnail as Ainsley waved to Ian, a bright smile on her face. Ian was a bit of a challenge. More than a bit, actually. Not insurmountable, though. He wasn’t perfect either, and definitely not perfect for Ainsley, even though she had yet to see it.<br />
“He thinks pi was named after, you know, <em>pie</em>,” I told Viney.<br />
It took a minute for him to get it. “Seriously? Apple or blueberry?”<br />
I laughed, shaking my head. “I’m not kidding. I heard him talking to Nathan. He said that’s why it’s used to find the circumference of a circle. Because a pie is a circle.” I mean the logic wasn’t <em>entirely</em> flawed, but still. Pie. <em>Really?</em><br />
Viney’s mouth twisted as he watched Ian clowning around with Nathan in the front row of seats. “So he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He’s still Ainsley’s boyfriend.”<br />
“On-again-off-again.”<br />
Viney grimaced as she bent down to kiss him. “Looks like it’s ‘on-again’ to me.”<br />
I sighed heavily. The truth hurts. “I know. She’ll see the light, though. It’ll just take some convincing.” I hoped I sounded more confident than I was.<br />
Viney eyed me sideways. “You’re going to bad-mouth her boyfriend?”<br />
“Of course not.” Not only would that be unethical, it would also be ineffective. I’d seen enough romantic comedies to figure <em>that </em>out<em>.</em> Not that I liked romantic comedies. I did have a mom, though, and every now and then she got the pick on Movie Night, so my dad and I had to endure it all with side eyes and quiet huffs. (She got annoyed if we huffed too loud.) I figured it was good research fodder, anyway, although there were definitely as many items for a not-to-do list as for a to-do one in one of those movies.<br />
So, yeah, bad-mouthing the current boyfriend would definitely fall on that not-to-do list. Ian wasn’t a bad guy anyway, not really. Just not right for Ainsley. Not like, well, <em>me</em>.<br />
“I simply mean to show her that she has options,” I said.<br />
Ainsley burst out laughing as Ian swept her off the stage and swung her through the air before wrapping her up in a tight hug.<br />
“Good luck with that,” Viney muttered.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Seventeen-year-old Oliver Wendell Holmes (Yes, his parents are just that peculiar, but his brother's name is Sherlock, so it could have been worse) knows that he's different. He's quirky, awkward, and he's okay with that. Oliver also likes making lists-meticulous procedures for achieving his goals, step-by-step. Whether it's "How to Get an A in Chemistry" or "How to Get Accepted to MIT," he has a process, and it's worked for him so far. He doesn't even care that the popular kids mock him. Oliver's got his eye on the prize.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">So when he decides it's time to declare his feelings for Ainsley Bishop, the girl of his dreams, it's only natural for him to make a list-a point-by-point strategy to win her heart. He knows it will take a grand gesture for her to see all he has to offer, and her approaching birthday provides the ideal opportunity for Oliver to put his plan into action.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Finding the perfect gift is a challenge Oliver meets with his usual dogged determination. He'll need to watch her carefully for clues to pinpoint exactly what he should give her. And along the way, he might just learn that what Ainsley really needs is not quite what he expected.</span><br />

Franklin" width="150" /> T.M. Franklin started out her career writing non-fiction in a television newsroom. Graduating with a B.A. in Communications specializing in broadcast journalism and production, she worked for nine years as a major market television news producer, and garnered two regional Emmy Awards, before she resigned to be a full-time mom and part-time freelance writer. Her first published novel, <em>MORE</em>, was born during National Novel Writing month, a challenge to write a novel in thirty days. <em>MORE </em>was well-received, being selected as a finalist in the 2013 Kindle Book Review Best Indie Book Awards, as well as winning the Suspense/Thriller division of the Blogger Book Fair Reader’s Choice Awards.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">In addition to <em>MORE</em> and its sequel, <em>The Guardians</em>, Franklin penned the Amazon best-selling short stories <em>A Piece of Cake </em>and<em>Window</em>, which also won a Blogger Book Fair Reader’s Choice Award for Short Story/Fantasy<em>.</em> Her new YA romance, <em>How to Get Ainsley Bishop to Fall in Love with You, </em>is Franklin’s first love story without a paranormal or fantasy element, although she believes love is the best kind of magic.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><em>TWELVE, </em> the final installment in the <em>MORE Trilogy</em> will be released in the fall of 2014.</span><br />

As
Brianna comes to terms with the realization that she is no longer a slave, she
must figure out what she wants for her life. Forgetting her past isn’t an
option. It is an integral part of who she is now, and it will forever shape her
view of life. The one thing she knows is that she cannot imagine her life
without the man who saved her, but can she be what he needs? <o:p></o:p></div>

Stephan never imagined falling in love with the woman he
rescued, but the thought of her no longer being part of his life is physically
painful. The scars from her past continue to haunt her, and he is helpless to
stop them. All he can do is try to help her work through the traumas of her
past. Can he be everything she needs and help her move on?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="p1" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
The two must figure out how to navigate not only their
relationship with each other, but also the outside world. A friend from
Brianna’s past shows up where she least expects them, and Uncle Richard
continues to enforce his well-meaning agenda to get Brianna more traditional
help. As forces, both friend and foe, threaten to tear them apart, Stephan and
Brianna have to navigate the turbulent waters and find what they need in each
other.<o:p></o:p></div>

months, Brianna has discovered something she never thought she would again.
Hope. After the horror of being Ian’s slave for ten months, a fate she never
imagined she’d escape, it feels as if she is living a dream. She has freedom
she hadn’t expected to have again, and she wakes up every morning not fearing
what the day will bring.<br />
<br />
There is also Stephan. The man who saved her from the daily torture she had to
endure at the hands of Ian and his friends. The same man who makes her heart
race with just the thought of him. Life is good.<br />
<br />
Outside forces are determined to conspire against them, however. When Brianna’s
father shows up on her doorstep, it sends her world spiraling out of control.
He brings with him new information about how Brianna ended up in Ian’s
clutches, but will it make a difference? Will Stephan be able to find a way to
make Ian pay for all he made Brianna suffer?<br />
<br />
As Brianna and Stephan try to find out the truth, their relationship is tested.
She is forced to face her past head on and deal with the ugly reality of what
happened to her. Will Stephan’s love be enough to see her through her newest
challenge, or will the fragile trust they’ve built come crumbling down around
them as the truth makes itself known.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Sherri spent most
of her childhood detesting English class. It was one of her least favorite
subjects because she never seemed to fit into the standard mold. She wasn’t
good at spelling, or following grammar rules, and outlines made her head spin.
For that reason, Sherri never imagined becoming an author.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoSzB28GioCVDClV99X1mzJqEQRz9nB09UfVmwa5BOjKOAQwXyZS3ZNk71WJZu_tc0BiUAKDxRKplLvYKEgVX2vjVkV0CKOMR64JkGsk50clCQl27HaMbNji8qgI4S3fgqkbINzCsymO8/s1600/Ohioana2013-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoSzB28GioCVDClV99X1mzJqEQRz9nB09UfVmwa5BOjKOAQwXyZS3ZNk71WJZu_tc0BiUAKDxRKplLvYKEgVX2vjVkV0CKOMR64JkGsk50clCQl27HaMbNji8qgI4S3fgqkbINzCsymO8/s320/Ohioana2013-3.jpg" height="320" width="179" /></a><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">At the age of
thirty, all of that changed. After getting frustrated with the direction a
television show was taking two of its characters, Sherri decided to try her
hand at writing an alternate ending, and give the characters their happily ever
after. By the time the story finished, it was one of the top ten read stories
on the site, and her readers were encouraging her to write more. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Six years later, Sherri
is the author of six full-length novels, and one short story. </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Writing has become
a creative outlet for Sherri that allows her to explore a wide range of
emotions, while having fun taking her characters through all the twists and
turns she can create. She is most well known for her Finding Anna series about
a young woman rescued from being a sex slave by a wealthy Dominant. The fourth, and final book, in that series is due out Spring 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">If Lily could have gone any paler at that moment, she would have. Flashes of the man with jet black hair and pure blue eyes flooded her mind. The small symbol on the inside of his wrist burning its way into the permanent recesses of her brain.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“I wasn’t sure, but I guess you are telling me they have.” Lily lolled her head to the side, cupping her jaw with her hand propped up on the arm of the chair.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“They called him Liam, if that helps,” Renee spoke up cautiously, obviously realizing the severity of the situation.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“I never knew his name, but I felt it – the pull that Martin told me about. It scared the hell out of me, if I’m being honest. Once I realized what was happening, I got out of there as fast as I could.” Ryan gently began massaging her shoulders in attempt to ease the tension of the conversation.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“Well, this guy is one of them, markings and all and he has Becca, Sam, and Ian.”</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Lily sat straight up in her chair. “What! How?!”</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“An Anarcori. Remember that little gold box with the red orb that was lost in the twenties?” Lily nodded. “He’s got it and he knows how to use it. I don’t see how he can be alone on this one.”</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“Hold on just a moment.” Ryan came around the side of Lily’s chair to face her. “What exactly is an Ahbmonite and why would he take your friends?”</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Lily looked to Abe for any sort of explanation, but he had none. She then rose from her chair and pushed Ryan down into it.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“There are so many legends about how vampires came into existence; some even saying that Judas Iscariot was one of the first, after his transgressions with Jesus of Nazareth.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>From all that I learned from my sire, Martin, the line we come from started long ago in Jerusalem.” Lily took a deep unnecessary breath before moving on.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“According to Martin and all the books that we have held over the years, the Ahbmonites were basically food for a quartet of vampires. The four, all males, found the odd race of humans fascinating. They were drawn to them unlike any other human, not to kill them but for them to nurture each other.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span> The vampires fed from a type of blood they never had tasted before and the Ahbmonites acquired vampire traits strengthened in them with each feeding. When their human bodies could no longer handle the vampire traits, they were either killed or turned. After a few centuries, the families began branding their children with the mark of the black flame. Martin’s sire was one of the Ahbmonites, but he believed that it was time for their race to end. Stop using humans as cattle and learn to live off the blood of animals. That fight eventually led to the practical extinction of the vampire race. Now, only three of us remain.”</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Ryan held out his hand in invitation. She took it and snuggled into his lap as visions of blue eyes and black flames raced through her mind.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“He took them to use as leverage against you?” Abe looked up at Lily as her gaze met his.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 10px/normal Times; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“I’m not sure of any other explanation. If this Liam is the same man I encountered in Las Vegas, he knew all about me and wanted to be my companion.” She felt Ryan’s hand moving up and down her spine attempting to soothe the strained muscles.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“So, you drank from this guy and now he’s got some vampire traits, enough that he could take all three of them?” Renee inquired.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Lily turned to Ryan and nodded shamefully. “I’d never felt that kind of pull ever in my existence as a vampire. It was truly some sort of biological connection, like somehow we were made for each other. As though our existence depended on one another.”</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“What now?<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>We just sit around and wait for him to call?” Renee was full of questions, yet all completely relevant.</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“I’d need to get to Martin’s library. All of his books are stored there. It’s just outside of Reading.”</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Renee straightened up in her seat. “You mean the Reading that’s in the UK? I’ve never been to the UK.”</span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal "Times New Roman"; margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">“Looks like today’s your lucky day.” Abe took Renee’s hand, lacing his fingers through hers before patting her hand.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia;">Lindsey Gray dreamed of several different careers as a child. On the short list were doctor, chef, and actress. None held her attention as much as putting pen to paper and creating her own world through words.

In 2013, she went on her first self-publishing adventure and produced her novella, <i style="font-weight: bold;">Fireworks</i>, and joined the ranks of Renaissance Romance Publishing with their winter anthology, <i style="font-weight: bold;">Melting the Snow</i>.</span></div>

<h2>
Jo Matthews the Editor </h2>
I made my debut in the publishing world as an editor. I’d been betaing fan fiction stories for several different authors for years, but when NJ Cole approached me about editing Midnight Caller for her, I jumped at the opportunity.<br />
<br />
After Midnight Caller, I went on to work with Rebecca Turley on her novel, Embrace Me.<br />
<br />
When that was done, I jumped right in with NJ Cole again, editing her second novel, Landslide.<br />
<br />

Working with authors like NJ Cole and Rebecca Turley made we want to try a different aspect of the publishing world and gave me the courage to try my hand at being an author.<br />

Two years after a horrific virus swept the globe, decimating the world’s population, Carly Daniels and her husband, Justin, have made a safe home in the isolated southern town of Colby. Protected by fences and a vigilant population, the residents there had somehow managed to keep the Infection out. Until the sight of Carly and Justin’s healthy baby girl convinced them it was safe to allow Outsiders in.
Now, in the wake of fresh losses, the small band of survivors struggles to rebuild a community. With only nineteenth-century technology to aid them, they must learn skills long forgotten to provide for their basic needs. Each day brings new challenges, and every choice they make affects their long-term survival. While Carly and Justin adjust to a growing family, and to their roles as community leaders, they must rely on one another for strength and support when they face difficult questions.
Carly has to decide how to move forward in a world where equality, justice, and freedom from tyranny are no longer guaranteed. And when new threats emerge, she has to decide what she is willing to do—and how far she’s willing to go—to protect what she has worked so hard to build.
When the end has come and gone, it’s a journey down a long and broken road through <i>The Land of the Shadow.</i>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://wyndydee.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/excerpt.png"><img alt="EXCERPT" class="aligncenter wp-image-4441 size-medium" src="http://wyndydee.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/excerpt.png?w=300" height="150" width="300" /></a></div>
Justin was in the barn when he heard Carly scream, and the sound of it almost stopped his heart. It was a sound of sheer terror, a sound that could only mean . . .
He didn’t finish the thought. His brain clicked into action mode, based on training and instinct, pushing his own fear aside.
Justin jumped to snatch the pump-action shotgun mounted on pegs above the door and ran harder than he’d ever run in his life, pumping the weapon to chamber a round. He prayed as he ran. He didn’t know to whom he was praying, nor for what, but he prayed just the same.
Rounding the corner of the house, he saw Kaden and Carly running toward a goddamn <i>big</i> alligator in the front yard. Sam darted around its sides, snapping.
Justin caught up to Kaden just as the beast decided that Carly’s direction was a better avenue of escape than the path blocked by the snarling wolf and the two running men. It charged right at her, its mouth wide, tail thrashing in its wake. Carly jumped for the porch, clutching at the post, her foot braced on the rail. Kaden charged up the steps and swept Dagny up into his arms, flinging open the screen door to scramble inside the house.
Dagny yelled something that sounded like, “No, kay!” as the keys tumbled from her hand to clatter on the floorboards. Justin heard her wail as the screen door slammed behind Kaden. But she was safe, and that was what mattered at the moment. Carly still clung to the porch rail, her eyes wide. <i>Safe, too</i>, Justin noted, as his mind switched over to seek-and-destroy mode.
The alligator kept running across the lawn and straight into the cornfield, surprisingly fast for such a large, awkward creature.
“Not the corn!” Justin swung wide to try to drive the reptile toward the road instead, but the alligator saw safety and concealment in the thick patch of tall green stalks. It charged into the patch, clearing a three-foot-wide path of broken stalks with every swipe of its thrashing tail.
A flash of movement from the left caught Justin’s eye, and Pearl jumped in front of the alligator with a shout, waving her arms to prevent it from charging deeper into the field. The gator hissed at her and brandished its gaping maw, but began to back away.
More people from the town, who had been drawn by Carly’s scream, ran across the lawn toward the corn patch. The confused alligator found himself surrounded, and he turned, crushing more stalks. Justin swore.
He caught Pearl’s eye and didn’t even need to tell her what he needed. She shouted and feigned a lunge to get the gator’s attention, and it swung around to hiss at her.
He darted to the gator’s side and aimed the shotgun at the back of its head. “Clear!”
“No, Justin!” Carly shouted. “Don’t!”
Justin groaned. His wife, the animal lover. Was she going to say something like, <i>He can’t help he’s an alligator</i>, and insist Justin transport the thing back to the swamp? He was already picturing wrapping the beast’s jaws with duct tape or something to avoid losing a goddamn hand in the process when she reached his side.
Instead, she pulled out the .45 she wore at her hip and blasted the gator three times in the head. It slumped to the ground, dead as Caesar.
“I didn’t want you to use the shotgun and tear up the hide,” Carly said.
God, he loved her. He felt a grin stretch his cheeks.
She turned toward the house but called over her shoulder to the staring townspeople as she ran to check on her baby. “We have meat.”

<span style="color: red;">Coming in 2015</span></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
The final novel of Sandi Layne's Éire's Viking Trilogy: <em>Éire's Devil King</em></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="27009-banner_zps2f7db0db" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2486" src="http://sandyquill.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/27009-banner_zps2f7db0db.png?w=300" height="187" width="300" /> </div>
Currently a work in progress, this final book completes the telling of one way that the Northmen—the <em>vikingr</em>—came to settle in Éire and how one of their number, Tuirgeis, claimed the title of High King of that island.<br />
<br />
Based in history, Tuirgeis's story will complete the story Sandi Layne began to tell when Tuirgeis captured Cowan and Agnarr captured Charis the healer in <em>Éire's Captive Moon</em>.
<br />

Blurb Idea:</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipc-diO7gfl1FJ2YvG4PRW5nx3gjSnwGUVqe8AuyvYN8E5xJA4jNW7IF5ZGUZTsFrkyZfgcNF_WLeW6WGUqhb8DCzgxSRBqtvl5h4yU1601tsWmHfVRX5gupLNW6Smx_e5rNVcIt704rjC/s1600/dont-keep-calm-the-vikings-are-coming.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipc-diO7gfl1FJ2YvG4PRW5nx3gjSnwGUVqe8AuyvYN8E5xJA4jNW7IF5ZGUZTsFrkyZfgcNF_WLeW6WGUqhb8DCzgxSRBqtvl5h4yU1601tsWmHfVRX5gupLNW6Smx_e5rNVcIt704rjC/s1600/dont-keep-calm-the-vikings-are-coming.png" height="320" width="274" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #262626;">
A man of ability and ambition, Tuirgeis has nurtured the desire to carve a place of leadership for himself on the Green Island, Éire, that he has raided multiple times. After the death of his wife, he takes his surviving son to Éire and comes to learn that there is more to claiming a kingship than merely overpowering the locals.</div>
<div style="color: #262626;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #262626;">
While he is attracted to an Éire-woman for his new wife, Tuirgeis seeks to find ways to not only settle in this new land but also to learn to live with the people there, not just overthrow them.</div>
<div style="color: #262626;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #262626;">
Having connections with his adopted brother, Cowan, and Agnarr, his former countryman, Tuirgeis feels he has the support he needs to make his claims strong.</div>
<div style="color: #262626;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #262626;">
Bloodthirsty tyrant? Overly ambitious leader? Prideful warrior? The histories tell one tale of Tuirgeis, acknowledged usurper and High King of Ireland; I am telling another.</div>
<br />

<h3>
Sneak Peek of the Work in Progress:</h3>
Ide spoke. “The <i>Ostmen</i> will be gone in the morning.”<br />
<br />
“Well, perhaps,” Charis murmured as the sweet scents of mead and ale wafted through the evening air ahead of Cowan and Tuirgeis. She did not care for ale, but did find mead to be a pleasant beverage. It never interfered with her senses as it did with others, but she liked the mellow flavor. “They might be leaving closer to midday if their heads are as heavy as the smell of their drinks.”<br />
<br />
The women chuckled softly just as Cowan called, “What is it, wife?”<br />
<br />
“We came to spend time with Aislinn and the baby,” Charis replied, moving toward Cowan until she could look him squarely in the eye. “Why are you away from the fire?” she asked in <i>Gaeilge</i>.
Cowan translated.<br />
<br />
Tuirgeis shook his head and rolled his shoulders as if he felt stiff from inaction. “I have spent enough time with men,” he stated through Cowan. “I wished for other, softer company.”<br />
<br />
A challenge was in his gaze as it clashed with Charis’s and she felt as if her spine was iron.
Cowan drew her to him and she allowed herself to sidle away from the Northman. After dropping a kiss to the top of her head, her husband blew out a breath. “Softer company, Tuirgeis? Well, you remember my daughter Aislinn, of course.”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ33Gf6xFgXD2pSCWcZxgajLprWa0Yv3Wq0ZXy0bT6rj47RN2ClbohkKP8bYG49Pt5laFutQ3opQBLXN1WMAoVzUHYlzK8gsMRtlA1EWQUjuUvZ_RmmAq1dr71juZtVNhf5hO0RoeXmhfi/s1600/Possible+Ide+for+EDK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ33Gf6xFgXD2pSCWcZxgajLprWa0Yv3Wq0ZXy0bT6rj47RN2ClbohkKP8bYG49Pt5laFutQ3opQBLXN1WMAoVzUHYlzK8gsMRtlA1EWQUjuUvZ_RmmAq1dr71juZtVNhf5hO0RoeXmhfi/s1600/Possible+Ide+for+EDK.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
Against her will, Charis took it upon herself to translate the tongue for Ide and Aislinn. If there was any luck in her world, she would not have to spend another evening doing so. Tuirgeis snorted to hear her, a smile in his eyes before they moved to Aislinn.
<br />
<br />
“<i>Ja</i>. Aislinn. How many children do you have?”<br />
<br />
Aislinn understood him to an extent. “Two.”<br />
<br />
“And this is Ide. She used to live on the west coast, a bit north of where Muiredach recommended you go,” Cowan said, nodding to the red-haired woman.<br />
<br />
Tuirgeis’s smile widened. “I remember you,” he said while Charis moved to stand next to Ide. Cowan translated; Charis refused to do so for the moment. “I saw you when Agnarr wed.” He indicated Ide’s rich curls with a quick gesture of his hand. “Your hair. I like red hair.”

<b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">*The following was originally a guest post from the A Divine Life (edition 1) Blog Tour; 8/15/13 R.E. Hargrave's tour stop with <a href="http://michbookreviews.wordpress.com/2013/08/15/blog-tour-a-divine-life-r-e-hargrave-guest-post/" target="_blank">Mich Book Reviews</a>*</span></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">How do you feel about the sudden “trend” in erotica and BDSM books that have come onto the market?</span></i></b><br />
<br />
Well, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care or thought the trend was overrated, considering I do write erotica —BDSM erotica at that. Of course, from a career standpoint, I’m thrilled about the trend. Trending means selling after all, right?<br />
<br />
<i>Except . . .</i><br />
<br />
I never set out to be a career writer. I don’t, in fact, expect to ‘get rich quick’ from my books. I discovered a passion for writing once I gave in and started putting my ideas down. The need to write has only grown with each day that has passed since.<br />
<br />
What it boils down to, is that I love creating and sharing my worlds with people. When I read reviews stating that people enjoyed a story of mine, or that they ‘got’ what I was trying to do, it delights me to no end.<br />
<br />
Case in point, allow me to share part of a recent review I got for <i>To Serve is Divine</i>, book one of The Divine Trilogy.<br />
<br />
<i>I love finding a really sexy BDSM story that isn’t glammed up to make it more of a contemporary romance with some kink to it. To Serve is Divine takes a realistic look into the erotic world, while dealing with the emotional and physical turmoil that Catherine (Erin) suffered and the healing that Jayden’s devotion brings her. Jayden was the epitome of the sexy, strong, practiced Dom, exactly what Catherine needed to help her return to the life that had both freed her and broken her. But when the boundaries started to be crossed and lines blurred, Jayden’s rules had both of them questioning if what they had was going to work out in the end.</i><br />
<br />
This is a probable explanation for why I’ve not attached myself to a single genre; erotica just seems to be my primary one at the moment. It’s nice to have the freedom to write whatever I’m inspired to, without worrying about betraying readers who expect one thing out of me. Those who follow me, know that it’s always up in the air what my next ‘plot bunny’ will be.<br />
<br />
For years, men have been able to buy their ‘girly’ magazines while women have had to pretend they weren’t interested in sex. Now, the anonymity afforded one by being able to purchase a book online, and then read it on a handheld device, paired with the increasing acceptance of all things sexual, results in a market hungry for the genre.<br />
<br />
The bottom line is that woman ARE interested in sex, and are the more likely of the genders to purchase books. Where the trend becomes blurry, is in the quality of the books being churned out. Some are porn, plain and simple, and then there are the rare jewels; the ones that fall under ‘erotica’ as an art form.<br />
<br />
I’ve spent a lot of time researching the Lifestyle and working really hard to include a storyline that is not second to the sex scenes. If reviews are anything to go by, I seem to be succeeding.<br />
<br />
<i>The perfect mix of sex, romance & just good old fashioned love story make this book a MUST READ. I could not put it down and am eagerly awaiting the next in the series. Bravo, R.E. Hargrave, for creating a world where limits are everything, but made to be shattered. </i>~A Divine Life ARC review~<br />
<br />
In conclusion, to more specifically address your question about the erotica trend, I’d blame the current success of the genre on technology, and as much as I hate to admit it, the success of Fifty. Let’s face it, Ms. James’ windfall certainly shined a light on the BDSM world, and raised the curiosity of not just a country, but a planet. Publishers, writers, and readers alike can’t get enough right now.<br />
<br />
I’ve stepped up to the trending plate with what I hope is a BDSM series that can stand on its own. One that has romance, a realistic portrayal of the Lifestyle (surprise, it’snot all about sex), and has the reader wanting to cheer on Catherine in her healing and Jayden in his realization that he is capable of love.</div>

<i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Synopsis</b></i></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Small moments can seem insignificant until they change the course of a life forever. The sound of a bulldozer. A chance meeting at a gas station. A gust of wind through a chime. Benign events become something more when viewed through the lens of fate. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Emma Santori is a prisoner of tragic memories. Locked in a spiral of depression, she leads a desolate and empty life, trapped in her decrepit home. Rooted in routine, she’s numb and vacant. As a lonely Catholic school teacher, her only joy comes from her young students. One Saturday morning, her isolation is infiltrated by a mysterious architect building a home beside hers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That man is Eric Wilder and he’s keeping a secret—a secret that’s destroying his life. Filled with guilt and self-loathing, he’s forced to move often. He chooses the small northeastern town of Pine Lake as his latest refuge and hopes to make a successful attempt at starting his life over. As always, he’s unable to make that happen. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">That all changes when he meets Emma.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She finds herself drawn to Eric when she accidentally bumps into him, but Eric’s unfazed by their first meeting. When a gust of wind brings these two people together once again, Emma discovers Eric’s secret. She’s forced to battle between her Catholic faith and her desire for this stranger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They’re attraction is intense and they soon discover they’re each lonely and longing for what the other has to offer. They begin a friendship, and as that friendship blossoms, Emma realizes her passion and lust for Eric are the remedy to her depression. Eric discovers his feelings for Emma are the only antidote to his secret burden.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They begin an erotic journey, which leads these beautifully broken people to discover that love can be both righteous and wicked.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
Everyone makes choices in life. Carina Porter has chosen wrong. <span style="font-family: inherit;">After graduating from culinary school, she sits beneath her complimentary blanket in first class dreaming of what’s in store for her when she lands in Italy. Having always thought of other's first, she has resolved to experience an indulgent adventure. Finally free from the demands of her collegiate studies, she's determined to break away from her sensible nature and take risks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Her daydreams are interrupted when an exceptionally handsome and much older man sits beside her. Stefan is dashing and she gets swept away in tales of his family and vineyard. After a brief courtship, she makes a reckless choice- to marry a man she hardly knows. Carina believes she's in love, but in time she learns how cold-hearted Stefan really is. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Carina befriends Bianca, Stefan’s maid, and discovers that things are not as they seem at Savano vineyard. Carina seeks answers but finds more questions. It seems everyone on the estate keeping a secret. When Stefan’s mother becomes ill, he and Carina move to the family vineyard in the small town of Ravine Creek. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is there that Carina meets Enzo Savano, Stefan's nephew. Carina is drawn to his kind and free-spirited nature. She fights against her </span>traitorous<span style="font-family: inherit;"> feelings for him, but their forbidden attraction grows each day. Carina is faced with her own family tragedy and the only person there for her in her time of need is Enzo. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After fighting against their feelings for as long as they can, Carina and Enzo begin a heated affair. Their passion blooms, taking root in their hearts, and Carina must choose between the safety of existing in an unhappy marriage, or life filled with love beside Enzo. Her decision will not only destroy a family, it may even be fatal.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Secretly, I’ve always wanted to climb one—the tall ladders that roll from one end of the shelves to the other. Ironically enough, library ladders always remind me of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beauty and the Beast</i>. Or the love scene in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Atonement</i>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Slipping off my shoes, I reach for the ladder and slowly begin to climb. Sadly, this is the most adventurous thing I’ve done in a long time, and I can’t stop smiling. I’ve made it to the fifth rung when I hear someone clear his throat.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I hold on tightly and manage to turn myself around without falling off. When I’m sure I’m steady, I turn and find myself looking into the eyes of a soldier. Possibly Army. Maybe Marine.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Not that it matters. I accepted long ago that my hatred for anything military related is a little unhealthy, but when the service strips a girl of the privilege of knowing her father, it sometimes makes a person bitter.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This particular solider is smiling at me, and I can’t lie, the smile is kind of beautiful. Despite that, my first instinct is to roll my eyes at his outfit. But then, I remember this is a costume party, and he probably just needed a quick and totally uncreative disguise.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I wonder if that’s his natural speaking voice or if he’s just playing his role as a badass. The guy certainly <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">looks</i> like a soldier, dressed in his head-to-toe camouflage and smeared-on face paint. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">He grins, and my breath catches in my throat as he steps closer. I tighten my hold on the ladder, because a smile that makes a girl’s heart race isn’t the best thing when she’s trying to maintain her balance.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">He’s closer now, with one hand pressed against the shelf behind me. He’s tall, but thanks to the ladder, we’re practically nose-to-nose. Normally, I would be frightened of a complete stranger invading my space, but honestly, this is the most relaxed I’ve felt all night. With his athletic build, there’s no doubt he could hurt me if he wanted, but I’m not afraid. For one thing, his breath doesn’t stink and his speech isn’t slurred. For another, he’s gazing at me with a pair of big brown eyes that make my stomach do this weird somersault-thing, and my stomach hasn’t done somersaults in a very long time.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Horns blare below, but I barely notice because in the next second, his mouth covers mine. His lips are featherlight and sweet, causing warmth to spread through my veins and settle in my heart. I sigh, causing my lips to part slightly, allowing him to deepen the kiss. One of his hands stroke my cheek as he leans in, pressing his body tighter against mine. His quiet groan vibrates through me, and I’m ready to let go of the ladder and wrap my arms around him when he suddenly pulls away.</span></span></div>

Which is your fav? RE Hargrave<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
As part of my A Divine Life (Edition 1) Blog Tour (8/8/13 http://bit.ly/1gmnLZy ), I was asked to write the following as a guest post, and thought it was worth sharing again:<br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Writing f/f v m/f v m/m . . . Which one is your favorite? Do you think writing each one brings you to a different place?</i> </b></div>
<br />
Wow, what a great question. I had to spend some time thinking on this one, to be honest. In doing so, several thoughts occurred to me.<br />
<br />
Am I really “qualified” to answer this question when my own dabbling in the slash and femmeslash genres has been limited at best? While I've written each pairing separately, and in a variety of configurations such as m/m/f or f/f/m, my works have been predominantly heterosexual. It’s what I live;<i> i.e.</i> I know it best.<br />
<br />
But does that mean it’s my favorite? Not necessarily. Does a mother have a favorite child? They might all be similar because of genetics, but each one is precious and unique and you can’t choose one over the other. You love them for who they are inside.<br />
<br />
I ventured into writing male/male first with a couple of one shots, and then a collaboration effort for a full length story. It wasn't too long before I gave the female/female pairing a try. Granted, these stories were written as fan fictions. <i>The Divine Trilogy</i> is the first “official” project I've done that includes not only hetero relationships, but gay and lesbian ones as well.<br />
<br />
Guess what I discovered by trying my hand at the different pairings? It really is so basic, you’ll laugh.<br />
<br />
For me, once I factored out the physical components of what goes where, I was left with a single truth. The intimacy of the act, the earth-shattering connections, the tender moments — even the hot, sizzling ones — are all the same regardless of the gender. At the end of the day, there is kissing, hugging, and probably holes being filled. Who cares if it’s two guys, two girls, or one (or more) of each?<br />
<br />
It boils down to you can’t choose who or what makes you happy. A solid relationship is based not on the exterior parts of the body, but on the connection at the mental level and in the heart. In my writing, it’s not the physical bond between characters, but the emotional ones where the story comes to life.<br />
<br />
Love equally — simple as.<br />

4 Different but Sexy Stars!<br />
Erotica<br />
Blurb:<br />
<span id="freeText16905329286912498182">There is an exclusive group known as the Grants who only allow the most seductive women into their circle, and Madeline “Mady” Chase would give anything to get in. After years of mundane, disappointing sex, Mady is ready for more. Much more. Too many men out there favor the trashy crap that often parades around the local bars and college hangouts. To Mady, it seems like they’d rather drool over a girl with a fifty thousand dollar plastic surgery bill and clothes that would better fit a five-year-old than find some substance and passion in a woman. She wants more than stale, bland, fake sex, and the Grants could be just what she needs. </span><br />
<span>Isaac Wilson has been dissatisfied more times than he can count in the past two years. Being one of the Grants definitely has its privileges, but now he finds himself wanting more. Usually, it just meant another long month of disenchantment on his part when the Grants realized their new batch of women were no good. Each year, the program found several candidates that fit their needs, but as was often the case, they lacked that certain spark Isaac was looking for. To him, it didn’t matter. Either way, he’d have a lot of fun wading through the rejects</span><br />

<span>My Review:</span><br />
This was a different story not like the ones I usually read, this wasn’t like most of the romance books that I love to get lost in. This book was about sex and learning to become a better lover.<br />
It had a good plot and turned out great even though it didn’t tell me the name at the ending which leave a bit more mystery to the story as to who was in the door way. I liked the different ness with how she wrote the whole thing. I loved it a lot I enjoyed it very much it was a very unique story and I want more. This book is filled with sex, hate, jealousy and so much more its like one big game and everyone doesn’t want to fail.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Carly was still awake when he came up to their bedroom, reading by a kerosene lamp. She smiled at him and held her arms out. Happy to go into them, he gave her a kiss, sitting down beside her on the bed.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Home from prowling?” she asked.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I wasn’t prowling tonight. I was talking with our newest resident.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“What do you think?”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I think she’s going to fit in fine.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Carly laughed. “Is that all you’re going to say?”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He nodded. “It’s all that’s important.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He stood and went to undress, hanging up his clothes—they weren’t able to wash everything after one wearing like the old days. He pulled on a T-shirt and shorts, then climbed into his warm bed next to his wife. This was one of his favorite parts of the day, when he felt most content. This was a place where he belonged. Though he hadn’t realized it, he’d been searching for this all his life, and he had it at last.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I guess it is.” Carly plumped up his pillow before he lay down beside her. “I’m glad you’re home. I always worry when you’re out there, you know.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I know. I worry about you, too. ‘Safe’ doesn’t really exist anymore. There are so many things—”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Chicken thieves . . . alligators.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Don’t remind me.” He groaned and pulled up the sheet. It was all the covering they could stand in the heat.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I feel safe with you.” She snuggled up against his side. “And I know you’ll do your best to keep our community safe. And your best is pretty darn good.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I’ll do anything I can to protect you and Dagny,” he said. “’Til my dying breath.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“And the new world we’re building . . . it feels strange to think this is the beginning of someone’s history book. Like, we’re the Pilgrims, the new settlers.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He smiled. He always liked when Carly had these grandiose fantasies. It meant she thought of their story as having a happy ending. That fate really was leading them, and the generations that would come after them, to a great destiny.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Someday, they will write poems about you. The legend of the warrior-king.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Carly said it in a light, teasing manner, but he knew she did wonder about it. How they would be remembered. How they would be judged for the decisions they made in its creation, and its protection.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Someday, they will write fairy tales about you,” Justin replied. “The Druid Queen who could call animals to her side, whose judgments were compassionate and just, and whose beauty was like the summer sunshine.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
She smiled. “You are quite the poet yourself.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Will they remember how much I loved you? That’s the most important part of the story. I want the world to remember that. I want to write it in the stars.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
She turned and kissed him, and then there was no more need for words.</blockquote>

<span style="line-height: 23.79px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jeanne McDonald began telling stories at the ripe young age of five, when her mother considered the truth to be a lie due to her extensive embellishment to the retelling of an event. She wrote her first short story when she was twelve years old, and at the age of sixteen she tried her hand at poetry. She reconnected with her love for writing in 2010 thanks to the encouragement of a dear friend. </span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 23.79px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 23.79px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Her passions include a "mild" Starbucks addiction, music, reading, quotes, movies, and romance. When she's not spending time with her family, she can be found reading, writing, chatting with her friends or diligently working toward her bachelor's degree in Speech Pathology and Audiology. A proud Texan, Jeanne currently resides in the Dallas/Fort Worth area with her family.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Micah Cooper, an EMT in New York City, was no stranger to thinking fast and acting faster. His life was a continuous loop of spontaneous decisions. Everything was a matter of life or death in his line of work. He lived for the thrill, and loved the ability to help those in need.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 23.79px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Being the son of a well renowned surgeon, Micah was well educated in the life of a medical professional. He had seen everything, or at least he thought he had. But when the planes crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, Micah realized he hadn’t seen it all. In a single moment, he lost his ability to think. Trapped inside the south tower was his wife, Hope.<br />Hope was Micah’s world, his sunshine, and when the towers collapsed, so did his heart. He watched, along with the world, as the heart of America went down in dust and flames. Through the chaos and devastation, Micah only had one mission, to find Hope.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 23.79px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />By his side, through the madness, was his trusted partner and friend, Zachary Pearce. Together, they raced against time and destruction to save Hope. In the midst of tragedy, discouraged that all might be lost, Micah holds on to a ray of hope that his wife will be found.</span></div>

Some are deliberate, others are forced upon you. This was a lesson that McKenzie Evans knew all too well. After the miscarriage of her son, she made the hard decision to leave her absentee boyfriend and move in with her former college roommate, Olivia Hamilton. That’s when she was introduced to Andrew Wise, a brilliant attorney, working for his family’s law firm in Sarasota, Florida.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 23.79px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />To McKenzie, Drew became her salvation. He had a way of understanding her when no one else could. The closer they became, the more McKenzie found herself falling in love with Drew. He was everything she ever dreamed of in a man, and for the first time in her life, she felt truly alive. There was only one problem. Drew was dating Olivia.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 23.79px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />With the help of fate and circumstance, Drew and McKenzie journey down a path of unrequited love and denied feelings. In the end, they must make a choice between their hearts or their consciences. In this one decision they discover that there’s always a glimmer of truth to a lie, that there’s a fine line between love and friendship, and sometimes you have to risk everything to gain everything.</span></div>

When wounded soldier Blake Connor returns from Afghanistan, he wants nothing more than to hide from the world. He’s plagued by the memory of his best friend’s death and the pain of his own injuries. On top of all that, he has another burden to carry.
<i>Take care of our girl</i>.
Blake’s vow to watch over the woman who was left behind is overshadowed by his self-contempt and bitterness, making it impossible for him to reach out to her like he’d promised.
Jennifer Owens had expected to get married the moment her fiancé returned home from the war, but the news of his death changed everything. Shattered by her loss, she is still struggling with feelings of guilt when she receives an unexpected letter that raises new questions and reopens old wounds.
Jennifer’s need for answers leads her to Blake’s doorstep, but she is met with hostility and rejection from a man who only vaguely resembles the head-turning charmer she remembers from so long ago. Blake is determined to keep her at arm’s length, and Jennifer soon discovers that she must decide whether to push back or let him go.
Caught up in circumstances beyond their control, Jennifer and Blake have to learn to accept the truths that lie below the surface. She comes to recognize the beauty underneath the scars, and Blake realizes that he’s broken in more ways than he cares to admit.
Nothing will ever be the same for this ex-Army Ranger once he faces the truth. If he can learn to accept the help he needs, he might be able to overcome his warped self-image and emotional scars. To be the man Jennifer deserves, he must heal his wounds before he loses the woman he loves forever.

“It’s Trent’s dog tag,” he whispered.
“Why are you wearing his name?”
“It is tribute to a brave man and a friend.” His gaze was unwavering, so intense that she shuddered. When she didn’t say a word, his voice was filled with uncertainty. “Am I disgusting you?”
Jennifer shook her head and spoke in a firm voice. “I love everything about you. This . . .” She traced a finger on the raised skin. “Is what makes you, you. I would never ask for anything more.” She lowered her mouth to kiss each scar, feeling his breath hitching with every touch of her lips.
He cupped her face and planted a kiss on her lips. “I want to be perfect for you.”

Lorenz Font discovered her love of writing after reading a celebrated novel that inspired one idea after another. She is currently enjoying the buzz from her vampire novels <i>Hunted</i> and <i>Tormented</i>, the first and second book of The Gates Legacy trilogy, <i>Indivisible Line</i>, a romantic thriller, and <i>Feather Light</i>, an erotic romance.
Lorenz’s perfect day consists of writing and lounging on her garage couch, aka the office, with a glass of her favorite cabernet while listening to her ever-growing music collection. She enjoys dabbling in different genres, with an intense focus on angst and the redemption of flawed characters. Her fascination with romantic twists is a mainstay in all her stories.

On a wet summer morning in the historical township of Port Brandon, South Eastern Australia, talented artist and psychic Beth Montgomery reluctantly agrees to carry out a psychic assessment of Carrington House. She soon becomes frightened by a string of nightmares that could be warning her not to tamper with the metaphysical. Despite her fears, she braces herself for what is to come and continues to unearth the secrets of the past.
As soon as she enters the historical home, the image of a distraught Victorian maid appears, and then a young woman manifests on the staircase. Beth is transported to another era, where a magnificent four-poster bed, an engraved watch, and an exquisite ring evoke fleeting memories. When Beth spies a calendar, the date fills her with dread, but she cannot remember why.
Returning to the present time, Beth agrees to work for the irresistible Dr Matthew Jamieson, the new vet in the district. Each time they meet, memories of another lifetime flood her heart. She senses an eternal bond between them, but with two unfaithful partners in her past, she is reluctant to become romantically involved with him.
As her passion for Matthew intensifies, she regresses to 1895. In her past life as Mary Clark, she meets the darkly handsome Samuel Methven and falls in love with him on sight. But is he as honourable as he seems? Faced with Samuel’s apparent betrayal, Beth is plagued by fears that Matthew will also be unfaithful to her. She knows that to learn the truth, she must return to her past life, but that means facing an unbearable tragedy. Does Beth have the courage to move between lifetimes and relive that dreadful event? Will she be able to discover whether her soulmate was faithful to his twin soul?

Beth found herself in a bedroom cluttered with furniture and bric-a-brac of the Victorian era. Flowered wallpaper covered the walls and acted as a backdrop to the assortment of photographs and paintings hanging throughout the room. Most were of children. When Beth moved forwards to take a closer look, part of the carpet vanished, and the image of a road appeared in her mind. A puddle of blood oozed through the cracked tar, and she shivered. Something terrible had happened to at least one of the occupants of this house. But what? And to whom? In which era?
The woman was sleeping on a magnificent four-poster bed. Rays from the light of the rising sun flickered over the grand canopy. Beside the bed was a small table. A few antique knickknacks lay upon it, and lying face-down in an open jewellery box was a gold watch. Beth read the inscription: <i>Mary Adelaide Clark</i>.
She frowned and looked at the sleeping woman, searching her memory for some form of recognition. None came. Next to the watch was a ring. The sight of the exquisite black and white stones, shaped in the form of a yin-yang symbol, sent another shiver down Beth’s spine.
She was struggling to remember why it would when she noticed an ornate calendar hanging just above the bedside table. The year was 1908, and the month, October. Most of the days had been crossed out. Her eyes reached the date yet to be marked. 30 October 1908. Her mind repeated the date, and she panicked. She had to leave at once and return to the present time.
As the giddying rush of years went by, she heard the words <i>I’m coming soon</i>.

has subject matter very far removed from my every day life. Regardless of the
realism or validity of those subjects. A Betty's Pledge deals with a sex club.
While I know these exist, I really have no clue as to how any of them work and
would have no way of understanding how one as exclusive as The Grants really
functions.<br /><br />So, I won't judge this title on any of that. I'll judge how I
do any book. Did it entertain me? Was I able to submerse my mind in its world,
forgetting my own? Could I relate in some way to the characters? It being an
erotic title, I also have to ask myself if the story went deeper than just
sex.<br /><br />The answer to all of the above is an easy yes.<br /><br /> Mady is
looking for some greater meaning in her sex life but really craves to find an
emotional connection with someone. Someday. She knows the program at The Grants
is supposed to help her learn herself and therefore help her find what and who
she wants from her life. But, be real. It's a sex club. She sees the
distinction. She isn't here for love.</div>

It's lost the glitz and
luster. It's made him jaded. And he is quickly losing hope that it is anything
other than an easy source for lust and sex. He wants an emotional connection
with someone but how do you find that in a sex club. Others have, the entire
goal is to find your true mate through the process. He just no longer believes
in it.<br /><br />Until Mady comes along. Problem is she isn't here for an
emotional connection and the process becomes more than either of them can handle
without it becoming something more. Something convoluted. Something dangerous.
Something heartbreaking.<br /><br />For the complete review and more like it, visit <a href="http://ginger-read.blogspot.com.au/2014/04/review-giveaway-bettys-pledge-by-emma.html">Ginger-Read Reviews.</a> </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><em>A Betty's Pledge</em> is a new book from author Emma Husher and a different experience for me. I really like the idea that Husher has come up with for this book. Women called Betties are inducted into a program to explore their sexuality with other privileged people. Our main character Madeline (or Mady) isn't so privileged, so she has been sponsored. She will now be living amongst the rich exploring things she could only dream of. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="freeText17894386460653621557"><span id="freeText4724051979566923262"><span id="freeText5932214515053069242"><span id="freeText2719979400312666864"><span id="freeText226338479669559712"><span id="freeText16498927538434533249"><span id="freeText8409147072000655809"><span id="freeText10757976456384121503"><span id="freeText14255644975074877270"><span id="freeText4473180863676397660"><span id="freeText4730573345106837154"><span id="freeText8128295769609900444"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span id="freeText17894386460653621557"><span id="freeText4724051979566923262"><span id="freeText5932214515053069242"><span id="freeText2719979400312666864"><span id="freeText226338479669559712"><span id="freeText16498927538434533249"><span id="freeText8409147072000655809"><span id="freeText10757976456384121503"><span id="freeText14255644975074877270"><span id="freeText4473180863676397660"><span id="freeText4730573345106837154"><span id="freeText8128295769609900444"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="freeText17894386460653621557"><span id="freeText4724051979566923262"><span id="freeText5932214515053069242"><span id="freeText2719979400312666864"><span id="freeText226338479669559712"><span id="freeText16498927538434533249"><span id="freeText8409147072000655809"><span id="freeText10757976456384121503"><span id="freeText14255644975074877270"><span id="freeText4473180863676397660"><span id="freeText4730573345106837154"><span id="freeText8128295769609900444"> I did like Mady, to an extent. She is a mix of shy and sexy vixen which I liked. It have her a bit of mystery. But when it came to her being in the house, I found her a bit confusing at times. One of the men that run the program, called Grants, has taken a strong liking to Mady. There is an instant connection to them when introductions are made. Mady wants to know if there is more to the program than just sex given there are actual couples. But she bounces back between wanting love or just sex. She is constantly fighting it and it drove me mad because she knew what she wanted. She had a choice between two suitors and her debating drove me nuts. One of the men gave her the creeps and made her feel uncomfortable. I don't know what it was, but she just wouldn't go with the obvious choice. All because you are in a sex charged mansion doesn't mean you have to sleep with whoever. If someone is making you feel uneasy, run because there is probably a reason for it. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="freeText17894386460653621557"><span id="freeText4724051979566923262"><span id="freeText5932214515053069242"><span id="freeText2719979400312666864"><span id="freeText226338479669559712"><span id="freeText16498927538434533249"><span id="freeText8409147072000655809"><span id="freeText10757976456384121503"><span id="freeText14255644975074877270"><span id="freeText4473180863676397660"><span id="freeText4730573345106837154"><span id="freeText8128295769609900444"> I also liked Isaac, but I wanted to slap sense into him too. He was a lot like Mady. They both have two sides. One side, he is confidant and cocky. The other, he is a romantic who wants more than sex with the LA plastics. But again, he fought it so much as well. Both of them have a hard believing in love where they are, but they are surrounded by people who have met in the program and are still together. The whole point of them being here is to explore and they have the opportunity to explore each other and they don't take advantage of it quick enough. Mady explores a bit of something she has been curious about with her mentor, Diane (loved her). But that was really it. Diane was a favorite. There seems to be a little trouble in her paradise though. I hope we get more on that. But back to what I was saying, Mady does her exploring. But near the end, Isaac is caught doing something and her reaction was crazy for me. You know who you want, you know where to find him, go and get him. They try not to let emotions into it and that in turn makes things worse for them both. It just drove me crazy at times.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="freeText17894386460653621557"><span id="freeText4724051979566923262"><span id="freeText5932214515053069242"><span id="freeText2719979400312666864"><span id="freeText226338479669559712"><span id="freeText16498927538434533249"><span id="freeText8409147072000655809"><span id="freeText10757976456384121503"><span id="freeText14255644975074877270"><span id="freeText4473180863676397660"><span id="freeText4730573345106837154"><span id="freeText8128295769609900444"> Then there is the ending. When I got to it, I started screaming at my ereader begging for another chapter or two. It is not that it is a cliffhanger, but more that it just stops. The book doesn't have as much confrontation as I would have thought. All the issues that arise are just the characters trying to figure themselves out. But there are definitely some set ups here that I know we will see more of in the next book. There are characters that have trouble written all over them and I wish we got to see more of that here, but I know we will the next time around. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="freeText17894386460653621557"><span id="freeText4724051979566923262"><span id="freeText5932214515053069242"><span id="freeText2719979400312666864"><span id="freeText226338479669559712"><span id="freeText16498927538434533249"><span id="freeText8409147072000655809"><span id="freeText10757976456384121503"><span id="freeText14255644975074877270"><span id="freeText4473180863676397660"><span id="freeText4730573345106837154"><span id="freeText8128295769609900444"> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
