Giveaway
Caressed by a Crimson Moon - Signed Print CopyWelcome to 2020!
My first giveaway for the year will be a signed print copy of Caressed by a Crimson Moon (Rulers of Darkness #3). Enter for your chance to win!
Description:
Consumed by madness and tormented by dark memories of blood and death, Hadrian Lucretius, King of the Validus Clan, has returned after living in self-imposed exile for nearly three hundred and fifty years.
To maintain peace with the vampires, Eva Maldonado is offered as a sacrifice to the crazed vampire king by her father, the alpha of the Silveria Shifter Pack. Hadrian’s reputation is both legendary and lethal; he is ruthless, bloodthirsty, lusty, and soulless. When Eva arrives at the ancient fortress high in the Carpathian Mountains, she is shocked to find a ravaged man with dark burning eyes filled with loneliness and dangerous desire.
Would she be his lover…or his prey? His savior…or his victim? Would Hadrian lure her into madness or would their perilous passion be their redemption?

Reading Challenge
Hi lovely readers,
Happy Friday! I'm going into this weekend reading my 6th book for the year. Hopefully I can keep up the pace and reach my goal of 60 books read for 2020 before the year is over. The pressure is on.
My next read:
The Devilish Mr. Danvers (The Rakes of Fallow Hallow #2) by Vivienne Lorret
For the first time in her life, Hedley Sinclair holds the keys to her own future. She's inherited the crumbling Greyson Park, but the disrepair does nothing to dissuade her. No one will ever lock her up again or attempt to take away what's hers. No one except Rafe Danvers—the charming, fiendish man from Fallow Hall. He's determined to claim Greyson Park, but if Hedley isn't careful, he'll claim her heart as well.
Rafe has every intention of ridding Greyson Park of the conniving Sinclairs once and for all. The last thing he expects is to find the beguiling Hedley—the younger sister of his former fiancée—standing in his way. With drastic measures called for, he plans to marry her off in order to regain control of the estate. The only trouble is, he can't seem to stop seducing her. Even worse, he can't help falling in love with her. Goodreads

Hi everyone!
I hope you're having a wonderful week. I, for one, am thankful it's Friday. I've already got this weekend's read lined up...
Ten Kisses to Scandal by Vivienne Lorret
Description
Briar Bourne’s matchmaking career could be summed up in two words—comic disaster. Unless she can learn about the irresistible forces that draw men and women together, her professional future looks rather bleak. But Briar has an intriguing plan—enlisting London’s most irredeemable rake to teach her everything he knows about attraction. Given his notorious reputation, it’s no surprise that Nicholas Blacklowe, the Earl of Edgemont, requests one thing in exchange for his tutelage. For every lesson, he wants a kiss in return. And what harm could there be in a simple kiss? After all, Briar would never fall for a scoundrel…
Nicholas has no romantic notions about love, and no intention of changing his ways. He’s only helping Briar so that she can find the perfect bride for his jilted cousin. Yet Briar is so clever, so curious, so candid—so blasted tempting—that soon, Nicholas can’t stop wondering what it might be like if he was irresistible to her.
Ten lessons. Ten kisses. And a million ways to fall hopelessly, scandalously in love. (Form Goodreads)

Today is Teaser Tuesday!
This teaser comes from Caressed by Moonlight (Rulers of Darkness #1)
~ Victoria
was different. She was hot and cold, sweet and sour, and he loved it. Her
lavender scent was refreshing, innocent, and seductive. Her eyes were
mesmerizing, her lips inviting. He longed to feel her warm, soft body beneath
his, her legs wrapped around his hips. His fangs sprang free as he imagined
burying himself deep inside her over and over again as her sweet, spicy blood
slipped down his throat.~
Description:
Dorian Vlakhos is no ordinary aristocrat. He is a vampire king, who will do anything to save his clan from complete annihilation, before an ancient curse can claim his immortal life.
Penniless and orphaned, Victoria Kingston has nothing to bring to a marriage, yet she must shackle an unsuspecting gentleman into marriage by the end of the month or forfeit her rights as guardian of her younger sister. With the help of her dearest friend, Victoria begins her hunt, and vows to stay far away from the dark, mysterious, Dorian Vlakhos.
After meeting the beautifully innocent Miss Kingston, Dorian had to have her. He would do absolutely anything to make Victoria his. One sweet stolen kiss would bring them together while a force, more powerful than any vampire, would bind them for all eternity, but treachery, war, and death rule Dorian’s dark world and Victoria would be fortunate to survive.

A Bewitching Christmas: Holiday Read
~Family. The simple word rocked
him to the core.
He had been alone for so
long he had forgotten what it felt like to have a family. He felt warmth spread
through his body as he imagined Ana holding a tiny bundle, her deep green eyes
bright with joy.
The buzzing vibration in
his jacket pocket slowly drew him back to reality.
Cole shook his head and
banished the fantasy.
He roughly pulled his
phone from his pocket and quickly drew his thumb across the touch screen to
answer the call.
“What?”
“Why are you growling at
me? I was just calling to wish you Merry Christmas.”
“Cut the crap, Jaxon.”
“Have you ever heard of
the holiday spirit? You need to get one.”
“You called,” Cole
snapped.~
