Hi
everyone!
Welcome
to Kick Back Saturday! In my opinion, one of the best ways to spend a Saturday
is to curl up with a book, a delicious cup of coffee or cocktail, and hang out
with my writing partner, my sweet pup, Kelly!
Join
me every Saturday for a book blurb and a new, tasty drink recipe - coffee or
cocktail...?
Take
up a book, mix a drink, and kick back.
The Book
Sweet Ruin (Immortals After Dark #16)
by
Kresley Cole
Description:
A foundling raised in a world of humans
Growing up, Josephine didn’t know who or what she was—just that she was an outcast with strange powers. Protecting her baby brother became her entire life. The day he was taken away began Jo’s transition from would-be superhero…to enchanting villain.
A lethally sensual enforcer on a mission
Archer Rune the Baneblood never fails to eliminate his target. In his sights: the oldest living Valkyrie. Yet before he strikes, a vampiric creature pierces him with aching pleasure, stealing his forbidden blood—and jeopardizing his brethren’s secrets.
A boundless passion that will lead to sweet ruin…
Could this exquisite female be a spy sent by the very Valkyrie he hunts? When Jo betrays the identity of the one man she will die to protect, she and Rune become locked in a treacherous battle of wills that pits ultimate loyalty against unbridled lust.
