Teaser Tuesday

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.~

Fang-Freakin-Tastic Reviews: 4 STARS to A Bewitching Christmas

Fang-Freakin-Tastic Reviews has given 4 Stars to A Bewitching Christmas (Under Realm Assassins #1). 

Review:

Goodreads

A Bewitching Christmas is a really good Christmas themed Urban Fantasy read. It is a quick and fun read with plenty of twists, turns, and action. I was worried there would be too much lovey dovey stuff in it for me, but there was just the right about to not turn me off.

I really feel bad for the main character, Analette Dyson. She’s an non-practicing witch who has been away from her family for a while trying to make a life for herself in NYC. Her fiance is a werewolf and she finds out her Grandmother is ill, so she decides to go home for Christmas and introduce her family to her fiance. Things couldn’t have gone much worse. Luckily, she meets Cole, and he’s one bad assassin. But in a good way. The way they interact is unexpectedly sweet.

If you are in the mood for something holiday related with romance and action, this is the book for you. It is an enjoyable read from beginning to end with enough action to keep things moving, but enough romance to keep it from being too much.

Twitter Thursday

Hi all!

Welcome to the Twitter Thursday. Today's line is from my current work in progress, The Darkest Light (Eternal Kiss #1). I'm loving Evyn and Adeline! I hope you all will too. 

~Evyn stood sentry like a terrifying gargoyle of old—hard, cold, ruthless, and unflinching, nothing escaped his predatory gaze.~

A new paranormal romance series

An immortal warrior renowned for his savagery and the woman he covets for his own…

Scarred, powerful, and merciless, Evyn lives only for violence and vengeance. Determined to destroy the one responsible for his imprisonment, there is nothing he won’t do to accomplish his mission…until he meets a vulnerable, turquoise-eyed beauty.

Adelise stokes the flames of his dark desires and awakens a hunger within him he has never known. But the tempting mortal possesses a dangerous secret—the key to Evyn’s victory.

Torn, he must choose between a century-old blood-vendetta and the woman who has become his obsession. Will he return to the brutality of his past and sacrifice Adelise to have his revenge or will he risk everything to claim the woman he craves body and soul?

Enjoy!

~ Closing his eyes, Hadrian imagined biting into her plump lower lip. He would sweep his tongue over the ruby droplets before claiming her mouth with a soul satisfying kiss.

A vicious snarl rumbled his throat as his fists slammed against the floor, cracking the stone.

He could not allow himself to think of such things, especially when his control was razor thin. He could very well snap…teleport to Eva’s room and—

Hadrian refused to finish that thought.

Instead he shifted his thinking to what he had discovered. All drama aside, he had finally lifted the veil of mystery that surrounded Eva. Her blood had revealed everything.~

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?
