Mailbox Monday

In My Mailbox is a weekly meme, and it is hosted by The Story Siren

I love paperback books and The Vampire's Betrayal is the newest to my bookshelf and TBR list.

Description:

Jack risks his life by opening a portal to the underworld to rescue Connie. While in the land of the dead, he witnesses an awesome ceremony as a band of honest-to-God angels swear Connie in as the vampire slayer! Using the power of his love, Jack manages to bring Connie back to the land of the living even though she threatens the existence of him and his kind.

Connie has no memory of being anointed the vampire slayer, and her activation won't be complete until a mysterious sword materializes. William orders Jack to kill her for her own good before she discovers her deadly mission. After all, if she dies before she is activated, she will spend eternity in paradise with her baby son. But if she lives to become the slayer, she will be immortal, doomed to the existence of a half-vampire, half-human killer. But how can an anguished Jack kill the woman he loves?

Meanwhile, the bloodthirsty Old Lords work to harness elemental powers to raise the evil dead! Their wicked plan would free every twice-killed vampire from hell and turn them loose on the citizens of Savannah. William, weakened by a power he doesn't understand, must do battle with the Vampire Council before they can unleash their bloodthirsty minions. Will he be able to survive the double onslaught of the Old Lords and the vampire slayer?

Chat with me Wednesdays #3

Introducing a new feature to my blog - Chat with me Wednesdays
What is Chat with me Wednesdays?
Every other Wednesday I will post a video answering questions or responding to comments sent/posted by readers/viewers. I have received many emails in regards to the Rulers of Darkness series and I thought this would be a fun way to respond.
Feel free to post questions below and/or leave a comment. I will try to answer as many questions as I can in the scheduled time I have to complete the video. (Note: Be respectful)
Okay, let's get started.

I apologize for not posting videos the last two weeks. My husband and I moved and had issues with getting someone out here to set up our internet service. I never noticed how much web surfing I do until I couldn't. It feels great to be back and I hope you enjoy this video.

Question: Who will be the hero of Rulers of Darkness #3, Caressed by a Crimson Moon? Is it Gabriel, Gannon, Hadrian, or Sonya? Watch and find out.

Caressed by Night (Rulers of Darkness #2) - Night Owl Reviews Top Pick

"A delicious morsel of paranormal romance! [...] With a second release under her belt, Amanda J. Green shows true promise as a highly addictive author for the paranormal romance genre."

I'm so happy that Talina, the reviewer, enjoyed my first book, Caressed by Moonlight, and I'm ecstatic that she loved the second. To read her full review click here.

 
Description:

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.

Question of the week: Have you ever snuck a peek at the end of a book before reading it? 

Nope, I have never read the end of the book. I will not lie, I have been tempted, but I just can't bring myself to ruin the book by knowing what is going to happen. Now, there have been some books (very very few) that I have not finished. I agree with Crystal, it is like someone ruining a movie by telling you how it ends.

 Now, something...yummy to gander at for the heck of it lol Enjoy!

Review of Tempted by Blood (Sweetblood #3)

Amazon

Tempted by Blood (Sweetblood #3)
by Laurie London
4.5 of 5 Stars

Description:
Deep within the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the battle for supremacy rages on between two Vampire coalitions:Guardian enforcers sworn to protect humanity, and Darkbloods, rogues who kill like their ancient ancestors….He might be known for his effortless charm, but Guardian Jackson Foss is hiding a terrible secret. For months, he has battled the emergence of his dark nature—deadly urges that threaten to consume him. And those cravings only intensify when he meets Arianna Wells, the human he's been assigned to protect. Smart and perceptive, Arianna doesn't seem like a dangerous temptress. Yet she awakens in Jackson an unstoppable need that, if left unchecked, will brand him a traitor…a crime punishable by death.But soon their bond may be Arianna's only hope. For stalking her in the shadows is a merciless enemy—one who will stop at nothing to claim her completely….

Review:
AGAIN!!! I did it again. I started a series on the third book. I don't know why or how I manage to do this so often...I guess I like 3.  Let's get to my thoughts For beginning with the third book, it was not confusing. I really do love when authors write a series with books that can be independent of each other. 
Jackson Foss is a Guardian, sworn to protect the humans that the Dark Blood would drain of every last drop. He is a tortured, chiseled, handsome, male who is on edge of turning bad - my favorite type! 
Arianna Wells is an intelligent woman with a strong will and knows what she wants.

Caressed by Moonlight Giveaway!

Welcome to the Caressed by Moonlight (Rulers of Darkness #1) Giveaway!

April 5th-10th

I've been giving away my second book, Caressed by Night, but there are a lot of interested readers who haven't read the first within the Rulers of Darkness series. So, I've decided to giveaway 1 print copy and 1 ebook (PDF) of Caressed by Moonlight. I will be giving away a few copies of Caressed by Night later in the month - perfect opportunity to win  & read the first and be prepared for the second.

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, Prince 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

Excerpt:

Dorian despised parties. He hated the young girls fighting for his attention and he hated the jealous men. But he could not serve his Clan if he wasn’t seen. He had to mingle with society if he was to draw the attention of the hunters away from his family.

April is just around the corner and this site will be participating in 5 different giveaways.

Question of the week: Doing something a bit different this week...I would like you all to turn to page 60 of your current read (Even novella's should have at least 60 pages, true.) And share the third to last sentence on that page! Make sure to share the title and author as well. :)

My current read is No Rest for the Wicked by Kresley Cole. Now, for the line:

"She couldn't imagine life without the convenience of spells-which could vampire-proof chains and trace-proof cages-any more that she could imagine life without showers."

Your turn! What are you reading and what is the 3rd to last line on page #60?

Review of Venice Vampyr: Final Affair (Venice Vampyr #2)

Venice Vampyr: Final Affair (Venice Vampyr #2)
by Tina Folsom
3.5 of 5 Stars

Description:
Novella
Approx: 28,000 words
Venice Italy 1800s
Viola has been given three months to live but she refuses to die a virgin. She travels to Venice where she wants to experience physical pleasure with a man without causing a scandal for her family. Afterward, she plans to take her own life to ensure she exits the world painlessly and with dignity. Unfortunately, the man she meets in a disreputable club couldn't be a worse choice for her plans.
Dante, a hedonistic vampire, saves Viola from a violent rake. To stop her from seeking out even more dangerous men to find carnal pleasures, he offers her a night of passion in his arms, only to discover she's a virgin.
Viola flees, disdainful of the sex act and determined to end her life ...Events force Dante's hand ... 
(From Goodreads)

Review:

The romance in this book is short and sweet, with all the right elements. I really liked Viola, she was a determined woman who knew her mind. She had one goal, to know the pleasures of a be(wink, wink) and she was dead set on finding a good looking man to do the job. Damn, did she find one! Dante is a sexy vampire who has no problem showing Viola a thing or two or three or...You can tell where this is going.

Warning! This snippets is a little steamy. I hope you enjoy it - from my recent release, Caressed by Night (Rulers of Darkness #2)

~ Reaching back, he gripped the thick, wooden headboard, stretching himself out before her, leaving himself vulnerable. This way she could both appease the vampire and keep him in check. He would be her plaything and allow her to toy with him for however long she wanted.

Kerstyn was not surprised to see Dimitri’s eyes change color. She could feel the shift within him. She could feel the wildness and hunger within him.

 “I made you a promise,” he hissed past his fangs.

Her eyes sparkled with mischief and excitement as she traced the muscles of his abdomen, slowly, meticulously logging every hard inch into memory. He was absolutely scrumptious—sin, danger, and sex all in one—a lethal combination. Running the tips of her fingers down his waist, over his slim hips, she circled the head of his penis. ~
