Update

 Hello all,

 I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during this crazy times. With so many things going on all at once, it's been difficult to balance it all: family life, work life, school life, military life, and my writing life. I had big plans for 2020 when it came to my books, but I am no where near my goal and, sadly, other book projects have had to take a backseat. If you have any questions, please comment or email me. If you are a part of my newsletter group, I will be sending out some updates regarding my scheduled book releases in October. 

All that being said, I do have some amazing personal news. Not only will I be graduating in the next few months with my next degree, but my husband and I are expecting our first child! We are beyond excited. 

Best wishes,

Amanda

Reading Challenge - Summer Reading


For the 2020 year, my goal is to read 60 books. Thus far, I haven't made much progress, but this week I've knocked down 3 books. All have been 4 to 4.5 stars and for that reason, I'd like to share them with you.

Happy reading!

Winning Miss Wakefield (Wallflower Weddings #2)
Vivienne Lorret

18730266
She's got nothing left to lose…

With her fiancĂ© suddenly engaged to another and her reputation in tatters, Merribeth Wakefield needs a bold plan to reclaim her life. She must be brave. Confident. She must … kiss a rake? The suggestion is ludicrous! Yet when Merribeth finds herself alone with the dark and brooding Lord Knightswold, suddenly the plan doesn't seem so farfetched. So she does something she never thought she'd do—she kisses him.

But he has everything to gain…

The Marquess of Knightswold—Bane to most—has no use for the affections of women. Well, none lasting longer than a single night. A plot for revenge weighs heavy on his mind, leaving no room for romance. But then a shy, witty miss borrows a kiss from him in a darkened room, and everything he thought he knew about innocent debutantes vanishes along with her.

When a twist of fate brings Merribeth within Bane's grasp, he'll have to resist her charms—or risk losing everything—for the sake of his heart.

A Scoundrel by Moonlight (Sons of Sin, #4)
A woman seeks revenge by posing as a housemaid and taking down the rogue that broke her sister's heart in this character-driven, sinful, historical romance.

 A woman seeks revenge by posing as a housemaid and taking down the rogue that broke her sister's heart in this character-driven, sinful, historical romance. Justice. That's all Nell Trim wants-for her sister and for the countless other young women the Marquess of Leath has ruined with his wildly seductive ways. Now she has a bold plan to take him down . . . as long as she can resist the scoundrel's temptations herself. From the moment Nell meets James Fairbrother, the air positively sizzles. Yet for all his size and power, there's something amazingly tender in his touch. Could he really be such a depraved rogue? The only way to find out is to beat the devil at his own game . . . one tempting kiss at a time. Anything can happen in the moonlight . . .

Eloisa James

8449698

She estimates the earl will fall madly in love—in just two weeks.Yet Linnet has no idea of the danger posed to her own heart by a man who may never love her in return.If she decides to be very wicked indeed . . . what price will she pay for taming his wild heart?

It's been awhile!

Hello everyone!

I hope this post finds you and your well family well. I've been away for awhile and my explanation is one word - LIFE.  Unfortunately, The Darkest Light expected release date has come and gone. I've been forced to push all of my projects back and I'm hoping to get back on track in the next few weeks. Once I have some solid information regarding timelines and release dates, I'll post! Until then, I wish you all the very best. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay sane(ish).

Best wishes,
Amanda

Sexy Snippet Tuesday! 

Today's snippet is from Caressed by Night (Rulers of Darkness #2). Warning, Dimitri Arsov can really heat up the sheet.


 Purchase all 3


           ~  Kerstyn could feel his gaze locked on her pulse. Tilting her head to the side, she gave him a better view. Dimitri cursed and closed his eyes.
            “It’s…okay,” she said between gasps.
            “Too much,” he gritted out, “I took too much before.”
            Kerstyn reached up, tangling her fingers in the blond strands at the nape of his neck. Tugging, she brought him down, his body crashing upon hers, knocking the air from her lungs.
“I want you to do it,” she whispered.
Answering with a snarl, the demon took control. As Kerstyn’s orgasm rocked her body, Dimitri’s fangs sliced her throat. His mouth pulled at her tender flesh as his own pleasure claimed him. Kerstyn cried out his name as she felt him jerk within her, releasing waves of heat.
            Control, he cautioned himself. But damn! She is delicious.
He continued to pump through his orgasm, his hips thrusting and withdrawing as his mouth greedily worked at her throat. Another orgasm shattered her world as he kept going and going. Pulling away, he closed her wound and raised himself up again, his eyes still flashing between shades of color.~


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.

Caressed by Night (Rulers of Darkness #2)



~“I want her blood. Only her blood.” His eyes drifted closed, focusing his senses on Kerstyn as he took in a deep breath. Her teasingly light, rose scent filled his lungs sending warm chills over his body and setting off a buzzing in his head. “The thought of taking Kerstyn’s blood, feeling her pulse grow weak beneath my lips…I want to drain her. Completely. I want to take her life into my body, then slice my own vein for her. The desire to change her is dangerously alluring, especially since I know she is fated to die.” His eyes opened. They were consumed by white, glowing bright. ~
