#ReleaseBlitz: Seized ... Body and Mind by Alex Mellow #IndiePenPR



What if home is not a place?
What if home is a person all along?

Billionaire CEO Sebastian Hunter doesn’t bed his employees. He’s vowed never to touch a nice girl. And he never brings a woman home. Yet on Alice Lake’s first day as Sebastian’s new secretary, Sebastian falls in instant lust—and breaks all his rules at once.

When Alice gets a concussion, Sebastian convinces Alice to stay at his soulless mansion while recovering, but his real plan is to win just enough of her heart to get her to sleep with him. But once they’re living together, avid cook and virgin Alice turns out to be more than just a sweet treat. And Alice refuses to jeopardise her prized new job over a fling with a ruthless playboy…

Will Alice be able to resist Sebastian when the heart wants what the heart wants?

Also, a criminal mastermind has been stealing from the Hunter family business, and he’ll do anything to stop Sebastian’s investigation. A stalker lurks in the shadows, ready to crush any chance of happiness and a future together for Sebastian and Alice. And things are not what they seem.

They never are.

Seized … Body and Mind, book one of the Hunter series can be read as a standalone.

This is a full-length, scorching-hot romance novel with Beauty and the Beast vibes, with no cliffhanger, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It has lots and lots of emotion that will make you melt and root for this couple, as well as suspense and twisted little mysteries that will grip you from beginning to end.

Recommended for audiences 18+ due to mature themes and sexual content.

#BookReview: The Witching Year by Diana Helmuth






Synopsis: A skeptic’s year-long quest to find spiritual fulfillment through modern Witchcraft, perfect for fans of A.J. Jacobs and Mary Roach.

Diana Helmuth, thirty-three, is skeptical of organized religion. She is also skeptical of disorganized religion. But, more than anything, she is tired of God being dead. So, she decides to try on the fastest growing, self-directed faith in Witchcraft.

The result is 366 days of observation, trial, error, wit, and back spasms. Witches today are often presented as confident and finished, proud and powerful. Diana is eager to join them. She wants to follow all the rules, memorize all the incantations, and read all the liturgy. But there’s one glaring problem: no Witch can agree on what the right rules, liturgy, and incantations are.

As with life, Diana will have to define the craft for herself, looking past the fashionable and figuring out how to define the real. Along the way, she travels to Salem and Edinburgh (two very Crafty hubs) and attends a week-long (clothing optional) Witch camp in Northern California. Whether she’s trying to perform a full moon ritual on a cardboard box, summon an ancient demon with scotch tape and a kitchen trivet, or just trying to become a calmer, happier person, her biggest question Will any of this really work?

The Witching Year follows in the footsteps of celebrated memoirs by journalists like A.J. Jacobs, Mary Roach, and Caitlin Doughty, who knit humor and reportage together in search of something worth believing.


#NewReleaseBlast: Shauna's Silver Wordsmith by @KateHillRomance @RABTBookTours



 

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
Series: Royal Bastards MC: Las Vegas, NV #2
Author: Nikki Landis
Genres: MC/Paranormal Romantic Suspense
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.
