Vampire Romance

Date Published: December 01, 2023

 

 

Daniel – Reared by the master swordsmith who taught me his craft, I've dedicated my life to forging steel. I never thought about the occult, until a foreign man with unimaginable power stops at my home and forge. He takes me to Japan where I study under an ancient swordsmith. Nothing and no one, especially a woman, can tear me away from my craft, or so I think. While visiting New York City in 1927, I meet Shauna, and everything changes.

Shauna – Working the streets with only my abusive pimp Jack to look out for me is no way to live, but I don't have much choice. When a rich weirdo takes me to a ritzy hotel and offers me a way out, I'm not sure what to do. Then he shows up at Jack's juice joint with tall, gorgeous Daniel whose mixed messages make my head spin. Can a vampire swordsmith fall in love with a former pro skirt, or is all his heat only in the forge?

 

Note: Shauna's Silver Swordsmith is a short vampire romance with a stubborn hero, a resilient heroine, historical settings, some spice, violence, and a HEA.

#PreorderBlitz for Acid by Andi Rhodes @GiveMeBooksPR

Title: Acid

Series: Valhalla Rising MC #2

Author: Andi Rhodes

Genres: MC/Paranormal Romance

Tropes: Boss/Employee, Undercover Love

Release Date: January 5, 2024

BLURB

Humans are taught that death is the end, that it’s their soul’s final curtain call. But for the members of Valhalla Rising MC, death is only the beginning.

Acid…

My life was mediocre at best, but then I died and was escorted to Valhalla. I never thought of myself as a warrior, but rather a man who would do anything necessary to protect others. Which is exactly why Odin sends me back to the land of the living.

The woman I’m tasked with saving wants nothing to do with me, but my orders are to protect her at all costs. When strange things start happening on her farm, she relents and accepts my help, and I’m only too happy to provide it.

I know I can keep her safe, but I’m not at all sure about myself.

Peyton…

Some women spend their time searching for the perfect man, while others waste it on men who break them. I pride myself on not falling into either category. Men complicate things, leaving only pain and devastation in their wake. Which is why I prefer the company of my dogs.

Growing up in the foster care system, I never had any choice but to be independent. But when the life I’ve built is threatened, and I’m pushed beyond the limits of what I can handle alone, I’m forced to rely on the help of a handsome stranger.

Is he the answer to all my silent prayers, or will he destroy my heart even as he saves my life?

#ReleaseBlitz for Reckless Mayhem by @landisnikkiauth and @GiveMeBooksPR

Title: Reckless Mayhem

Tropes: Military/MC Mafia/Revenge/Kidnapping

Release Date: December 8, 2023

BLURB

Never make a deal with the Devil.

Manic:

They call me a monster. A master of disguise. The phantom who travels within shadows.

It's been said that I can steal a man's breath from across the room or slice his throat without lifting a finger.

The rumors are true.

I have a gift for dealing death, a hunger for bloodshed that blocks rational thought.

And when something of mine is threatened . . . I unleash the beast, giving into his carnal, wicked appetite.

There's one soul on this earth that I crave, covet, and swear to protect at all costs.

My pretty, perfect doll.

A wicked biker like me doesn't deserve her light, grace, or love, but that doesn't stop me from taking it.

Bianca is mine.

Nothing is breaking us apart, even if I have to wreck everyone in my path to keep her.

And selling my soul to the devil seems like a fair price to pay to ensure no one stands in my way.

Reckless Mayhem is not a standalone. Manic Mayhem MUST be read first.

A twist on the classic The Phantom of the Opera.

Reckless Mayhem is part of the Royal Bastards MC Tonopah/Las Vegas, NV world and includes steamy scenes, biker slang, kidnapping, violence, revenge, dark content, and a slight paranormal twist. This is a wicked tale with a biker/mafia mashup featuring an OTT, protective, possessive outlaw.

#BookReview: Son of Darkness (The Raag of Rta #1) by @MohantyGourav7 @HoZ_Books

Synopsis: Some ballads are inked in blood.

Bled dry by violent confrontations with the Magadhan Empire, the Mathuran Republic simmers on the brink of oblivion. Krishna and Satyabhama have put their plans in motion within and beyond the Republic's blood-soaked borders to protect it from annihilation. But they will soon discover that neither gold nor alliances last forever.

They are however not alone in this game.

Mati, Pirate-Princess of Kalinga, has decided to mend her ways to be a good wife. But old habits die hard, especially when one habitually uses murder to settle old scores. Brooding but beautiful Karna hopes to bury his brutal past but finds that destiny is a miser when it comes to giving second chances. The crippled hero-turned-torturer Shakuni limps through the path of daggers that is politics only to find his foes multiply, leaving little time for vengeance.

Their lives are about to become very difficult for a cast of sinister queens, naive kings, pious assassins and ravenous priests are converging where the Son of Darkness is prophesied to rise, even as forgotten Gods prepare to play their hand.

#BookReview: The Lioness and the Rat Queen (The Slickdust Trilogy #2) by @NLemelson

Synopsis: A city burning... 
A murderous tycoon on the run... 
And three vigilantes out for revenge... 
Marcel never thought his investigations would lead to this; his once-friend Lazarus Roache turned slaver and cruel puppet master. For the good of Huile, and to salve his conscience, Marcel must take Roache down, even if that means following him into the desolate and savage reaches of the Wastes. Yet the tycoon is not the only Wastefolk with a past with Marcel. To find the tycoon Marcel must break hardtack with an old enemy, a disgraced imperial general who he had once tried to kill, and is more than eager to return the favor. Yet she is not the greatest threat in the Wastes, for there is also a bounty hunter on his trail, the mysterious Queen of Rats, who somehow seems to know Marcel's every dark secret.

#BookReview: Summons to Berlin by Joanne Intrator @shewritespress

Synopsis: On his deathbed, Dr. Joanne Intrator’s father poses two unsettling 

“Are you tough enough? Do they know who you are?”

Joanne soon realizes that these haunting questions relate to a center-city Berlin building at 16 Wallstrasse that the Nazis ripped away from her family in 1938. But a decade is to pass before she will fully come to grasp why her father threw down the gauntlet as he did.

Repeatedly, Joanne’s restitution quest brings her into confrontation with yet another of her profound fears surrounding Germany and the Holocaust. Having to call on reserves of strength she’s unsure she possesses, the author leans into her professional command of psychiatry, often overcoming flabbergasting obstacles perniciously dumped in her path.

The depth and lucidity of psychological insight threaded throughout Summons to Berlin makes it an attention-grabbing standout among books on like topics. As a reader, you’ll come away delighted to know just who Dr. Joanne Intrator is. You’ll also finish the book cheering for her, because in the end, she proves far more than tough enough to satisfy her father’s unnerving final demands.

#ReleaseBlitz: Heart Stealer by @MelodyWiklund @RABTBookTours #Giveaway

 

Fantasy

Date Published: 12-08-2023

 

 

Without a heart, death and love are equally impossible.

James's heart has been stolen. He knows because he got stabbed in the chest and didn't even bleed. On the plus side, he isn't dead! On the minus side, whoever has his heart can control him, and until he gets the heart back, he is incapable of feeling love for anyone but the thief. Whoever that may be.

He has to get the heart back, and quickly. But with an assassin in the mix, and a vengeful ex-lover, and a suspicious fiancée, and no idea who to trust or where to look, the task won't be easy. Especially when, with a stolen heart, he can't even really trust himself.
