BOOKS (26th November)

ADULT BOOKS

Black Widow Demon (Demon Outlaws, #2)
by: Paula Altenburg

Passionate and headstrong, half-demon Raven is nearly executed on the orders of her fundamentalist stepfather. She escapes from the burning stake using the gifts of her otherworldly heritage and the help of a mortal stranger named Blade. Now she’s set on revenge, and only quiet, intense Blade stands in her way.

A retired assassin weary of the weight of his past, Blade has crossed the desert to seek out a new life. His journey is interrupted when his conscience demands he help Raven find an old friend who can help her. Saving her from her need for revenge and delivering her into the hands of loved ones means he’s one step closer to redemption.

But as Blade’s sense of duty becomes something more and threats, both mortal and immortal, stalk the woman he can’t abandon, he could very well fall back into the life he’s trying so hard to escape.

Chain of Illusions (Bringer & the Bane, #3)
by: Boone Brux

Rell has lived in the Shadow World for thirteen years as a Demon Bane, the formerly vivacious young woman now the demonic enemy of the immortal Bringers. But when she is given the chance to become human again—and a full-powered Bringer—Rell isn’t sure if it’s better to be a demon in the Shadow World or to risk her life for her humanity.

For two years Siban had been tortured in the Bane prison, only to fall in love with the beautiful demon who helped him escape. Tormented by the thought of never seeing her again, he maintains a life of solitude. So, when Rell’s human body is rescued from the Shadow World, he will do anything to be with her—even if it means challenging death to become a Bringer too.

But once their Bringer transformations and training are completed, Siban and Rell must join a mission to go deep in the Shadow World to rescue others trapped by the Demon Bane King. And what they discover destroys everything they knew about the Demon Bane. The lovers must learn to trust themselves, each other, and their new powers if they’re going to make it out alive.

Down Range (Shadow Warriors, #2)
by: Lindsay McKenna

Trained to kill, but built for love

Captain Morgan Boland is at the top of her game, as is her former lover, Navy SEAL Jake Ramsey. Then a military computer selects them to partner in a special op. The mission can't be compromised by their personal history and they have truckloads of it.

But the Afghan assignment might provide the discipline they need to finally get it together outside the bedroom, that is. A lot has happened over the two years since they last went their separate ways. And there's way more to Morgan than Jake has ever given her credit for.


Release Date: 26th November 2013


Hard as it Gets (Hard Ink, #1)
by: Laura Kaye

Tall, dark, and lethal...

Trouble just walked into Nicholas Rixey's tattoo parlor. Becca Merritt is warm, sexy, wholesome--pure temptation to a very jaded Nick. He's left his military life behind to become co-owner of Hard Ink Tattoo, but Becca is his ex-commander's daughter. Loyalty won't let him turn her away. Lust has plenty to do with it too.

With her brother presumed kidnapped, Becca needs Nick. She just wasn't expecting to want him so much. As their investigation turns into all-out war with an organized crime ring, only Nick can protect her. And only Becca can heal the scars no one else sees.

Desire is the easy part. Love is as hard as it gets. Good thing Nick is always up for a challenge...

BOOK BLOG TOUR: Brooke's Playlist from REAL by: Katy Evans



I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of the REAL Blog Book Tour. I've been doing a lot of talking about Katy Evan's debut novel and a couple of weeks ago I pushed all other reviews aside and posted one for REAL which you can check out HERE. The book blew me away and I just HAD to get my feelings out then and there! But looking back at my very thorough review, the one thing I completely forgot to mention is how music plays such a significant role in REAL.                                                                                             
Music is something we sort of take for granted. We may turn the radio on at work to break the silence, or late at night on the ride home to keep us awake, or in the gym to pump us up, etc. But for some of
us, music is a way to identify and communicate, especially in the case of Remington. While Remy may appear one way in the ring, he is a completely different person in private. He is a man of a few words, somewhat introverted, and without spoiling anything, has been dealing with...something without any kind of medical intervention (for the most part).

Before Brooke came into his life, music was--other than fighting-- one of the only ways for him to self sooth, a sort of coping mechanism. And then Katy Evans gives us the scene where Remington and Brooke are sitting together and he wants her to listen to his music and he listen to hers. Remy and Brooke pick songs for each other to listen to many times throughout the book. Why? Because it is Remy's way to communicate, without speaking, how he feels about her, himself, etc.

He even makes me forget my name. One night was all it took, and I forgot everything and anything except the sexy fighter in the ring who sets my mind ablaze and my body on fire with wanting…

Remington Tate is the strongest, most confusing man I’ve ever met in my life.

He’s the star of the dangerous underground fighting circuit, and I’m drawn to him as I’ve never been drawn to anything in my life. I forget who I am, what I want, with just one look from him. When he’s near, I need to remind myself that I am strong–but he is stronger. And now it’s my job to keep his body working like a perfect machine, his taut muscles primed and ready to break the bones of his next opponents . . .

But the one he’s most threatening to, now, is me.

I want him. I want him without fear. Without reservations.

If only I knew for sure what it is that he wants from me?
