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
 HE WON'T BE DENIED...
Trehan Daciano, known as the Prince of Shadows, has spent his life serving his people—striking in the night, quietly executing any threat to their realm. The coldly disciplined swordsman has never desired anything for himself - until he beholds Bettina, the sheltered ward of two of the Lore’s most fearsome villains.
SHE’S BOUND TO ANOTHER...
Desperate to earn her guardians’ approval after a life-shattering mistake, young Bettina has no choice but to marry whichever suitor prevails—even though she’s lost her heart to another. Yet one lethal competitor, a mysterious cloaked swordsman, invades her dreams, tempting her with forbidden pleasure.
A BATTLE FOR HER BODY AND SOUL
Even if Trehan can survive the punishing contests to claim her as his wife, the true battle for Bettina’s heart is yet to come. And unleashing a millennium’s worth of savage need will either frighten his Bride away - or stoke Bettina’s own desires to a fever pitch....

The Drink 
Hot shot espresso

This recipe from Cosmopolitan looks a bit stronger than the aforementioned coffee formulas on this list. A glass of this caffeinated gold will surely wake you up in the morning, but let’s just say that we hope you like Patrón.

1 ounce Patrón XO Coffee Liqueur

1 ounce Baileys Original Irish Cream

Double shot of espresso

Steamed milk

Mint sprig, to garnish

The Book

Bringing Home the Bad Boy (Second Chance #1)
by Jessica Lemmon

Description:

Evan Downey needs a new beginning. Since the death of his wife five years ago, the brilliant tattoo artist has shut himself away in a prison of grief that not even his work can break him out of-and what's worse, Evan knows his son Lyon is bearing the brunt of his seclusion. Moving back to the lake town of Evergreen Cove where he spent his childhood summers is his last chance for a fresh start.

Charlotte Harris knows she owes it to her best friend's memory to help Evan and his son find their way again, but she can't stop her traitorous heart from skipping a beat every time she looks into Evan's mesmerizing eyes. Charlotte is determined to stay strictly in the Friend Zone-until a mind-blowing night knocks that plan by the wayside. Now, if they're brave enough to let it, Charlotte and Evan might just find a love capable of healing their broken hearts . . .

~ His hands skipped down her hips, across her belly to the place she yearned for him to touch. One long finger dipped into her as his mouth came to mate with hers. Dorian stroked her until she was close to oblivion. He undid his trousers and drove in deep.~

  

Caressed by Moonlight

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.

Review of Caressed by Night

Caressed by Night (Rulers of Darkness #2) has received an new review. Riverina Romantics has given Caressed by Night 4 of 5 Hearts and 4 of 5 Flames for hotness rating. 

Caressed by Night
Dimitri Arsov, the last remaining pure vampire, was thought to be dead for the past four hundreds years. Now, he is back and has a score to settle with the traitor that had tried to kill him centuries ago. But as he waits for his prey to blindly step into his carefully laid trap, his overwhelming hunger for blood is triggered when he saves a beautiful art historian.

Kerstyn Ingmar’s life was normal and straight up boring until the night she is rescued by the dangerously sexy, powerfully mesmerizing, Dimitri. Unable to resist his diamond blue eyes and intense kisses, she is drawn into his world of darkness and closer to her impending doom.

While their desire consumes them, Dimitri is haunted by images of a bloody and deadly future. As his enemies draw near, he must find a way to save his mate from her destiny before fate destroys them both.

This was another great book in the Rulers of Darkness series. I loved how the events in this one played out and flowed into each other. It really felt like it was smooth and non-stop and it built all the tension and drama in a way that kept me turning pages. I’m really excited to see where things will go with Sonya and Falcon. And poor Hadrian! I hope things work out of him too! Excited to see what the next book will bring...Read More.
