First item on the list for today is a look at Rosalie Lario’s newest, Heart of an Angel. But make sure you come back later because I’m going to have a new book review for an emotionally complex story.

But for now, let’s look at what promises to be a winner for those who love paranormal romances. And you can get it now at Amazon for only 99 cents!

HEART OF AN ANGEL

by: Rosalie Lario

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Blurb:

With war looming between angels and mankind, Abby seeks out the fallen angel who once saved her life…and earned her love. Nate is shocked to see the nephilim he saved as a young girl—and even more surprised at the alluring woman she’s become. Though he can’t deny the spark of attraction between them, nothing prepares him for Abby’s bold claim. That they are meant to be mated.

Tempting though Abby may be, the thought of loving and losing yet another mate forces Nate to resist her considerable charms. But his fiery little temptress won’t be so easily dissuaded.

As the Fallen prepare to battle the angels over the fate of mankind, Abby must convince Nate that loving her is worth risking his heart.

Dancing in the White Room, Ute Carbone

Now we’re going to look at Ute Carbone’s Dancing in the White Room. I have to say I think this one looks like it could put me thru the wringer ….

*****

Dancing in the White Room

by Ute Carbone

New from Turquoise Morning Press

Contemporary Women’s Fiction

Blurb:

Dancing in the white room is slang for skiing or boarding in deep powder snow. The dancer is PD Bell, one of the best extreme skiers on the planet. Mallory Prescott, the woman who lives with him and loves him, is used to Bell’s exploits. A patrol woman at
Whiteface Mountain near Lake Placid, New York, Mallory is no stranger to risk. But this time Bell is taking on the West Rib of Denali, highest and most dangerous mountain in North America. It’s a descent that has never been done, though it’s been tried. Five years ago, Bell had tried it. The attempt nearly killed him. Five years ago, he promised Mallory he wouldn’t try it again.

Over the six weeks in which he’s gone, Mallory begins to question her relationship with Bell. Does he really love her? Is he in it for the duration? What has loving him cost her? Mallory’s life choices are thrown into stark relief when her daughter Emily takes a terrible fall. Together with her life-long friend Creech Creches, she must work her way through a maze of uncharted territory at a hospital miles from home.

Dancing in the White Room is the story of the love we keep, the price we pay for that love, and the forgiveness it takes to hold on to what is precious.

Excerpt:

It’s been five years, and I can still hear Roddie’s voice. “We had to grapple him down. Copter’s won’t go that high. We’re shipping him off to Anchorage.” When I didn’t say anything, he added, “Hope I didn’t worry you, love.”

After we hung up, I called the airlines and booked the first flight to Anchorage. They had Bell in a room by the time I got there. He looked like he’d been the loser in a prizefight. One eye was swollen shut, one hand bandaged because of frostbite on two fingers.

I was trying at the time to unhinge an awful fear, the awful thought of Bell as fallible, as vulnerable. It sat in my head, reinforced by tape and bandages and the blistering on his face. It sat there and I couldn’t shake it. It still sits there, this heavy pulsing gravitational thought.

When I think of Bell on Denali, this is the picture I get. Bell vulnerable. Bell fallible.

Her Summer with the Marine

by Susan Meier

Their competition has never been so irresistible

The last person Ellie McDermott wanted to run into after returning to her hometown is Finn Donovan, her high school nemesis and the guy she crossed the line from enemies to lovers with one night years ago. Now ex-military, tattooed, and still sexy as hell, Finn is a complication Ellie doesn’t need—she needs to concentrate on saving her family business.

Finn’s entire life, Ellie was there, going head-to-head with him in every class, bee, and test. So it’s no surprise she’d show up just as he was about to take over her father’s struggling business. It is a surprise, though, that his attraction to her is even more explosive than it had been. Acting on their attraction is one thing, but Finn has to turn a profit to save his own family, and nothing—not even love—will get in his way.

Stealing the Groom

by Sonya Weiss

Friends don’t let friends marry the wrong woman…

Chad Walker may be a take-no-chances man with a plan, but there’s no way Amelia Snyder is going to let her best bud marry Mean Girl #1—even if the wedding is solely so he can secure the controlling shares in his family’s company. But free-spirited Amelia’s at-the-altar groomnapping scheme takes a surprising turn when she ends up as the blushing bride instead.

Suddenly, with Amelia living in her handsome husband’s home—in his bedroom, no less—she starts to reconsider their strictly platonic arrangement. But Chad’s always been anti-risk and definitely anti-love, and betting a lifetime of best friendship on the chance at forever might be the biggest gamble of all.

Book Review – To Catch a Wolf

Book Review, Lynn Red, To Catch a Wolf

It’s a little late but here’s review number two …

****

Sometimes a wolf’s gotta fight and growl and bite. But Erik? He just needs a mate.

Erik Danniken is the alpha of Jamesburg, a small town hidden from the world and full of shifters of all stripes. But underneath it all, he’s just a muscled-up, rough-shod bad boy of a werewolf with a tattoo that goes all the way up his chest and sticks out the collar of his shirt. He’s down to his last nerve, but he’s willing to fight one last time… for the woman he loves.

Sometimes a girl needs romance and wine and sweet kisses. But Izzy? She just needs a job.

Isabel Taylor was more than a little frustrated when she answered a very vague job ad to be the personal assistant of a mayor in a town she didn’t know existed. That was two years ago. Curvy, tough and with more than a little bit of a naughty streak, Izzy has long since gotten used to the weirdness of everyday life in Jamesburg… but she’s fallen hard for Erik’s rough charm.

Erik wants to claim her forever, marking Izzy as his honest-to-goodness mate. Izzy wants him to quit being such a coward and just come out and do it, but will a good old-fashioned small town scandal make them keep their love a secret, and in the process, kill it before it can grow?

Note: The Jamesburg Shifters is a series of standalone books. Each installment has its own hero and heroine, and the stories never cross over. Each novel or novella is a complete story, complete with happy-ever-after ending. Enjoy!

This little erotic novella crams quite a bit of heat into its tiny package. At a little over 100 pages, it’s perfect for those looking for a little paranormal romance break but don’t have a lot of time to spend on it. But be prepared for the sizzle, because it’s definitely got it in spades. I don’t mean just a little heat, it is definitely hot, hot, HOT!

Izzy and Erik’s secret romance is at the heart of the story but there is a little intrigue involving a witchdoctor and a resurrected zombie Alpha bear (don’t get to say that every day). I think that Red does a good job of keeping everything in balance. She introduces us to our main character and does a great job of giving them the right amount of depth to keep us interested, but she also gives us entertaining secondary cast to help keep things light. She manages to bring in some tension with the zombie/witchdoctor plotline but it doesn’t overpower the main love story.

The blurb says that the series is made up of standalone books so you can start anywhere, which is nice. I am hoping that some of the citizens make appearances in the other books because they are a hoot. A small town made up almost exclusively of shifters … you can just imagine how quirky it can get – there are wolves, bats, hedgehogs, lizards, bears, panthers, even frogs. The possibilities for fun are endless and I’m looking forward to trying some of the others.

With an amusing supporting cast and an interesting main story line, To Catch a Wolf is a funny, super steamy, entertaining love story, just made for those that like a humorous paranormal twist to their romance.

Book Review, Robyn Carr, The Chance, Thunder Point series

With its breathtaking vistas and down-to-earth people, Thunder Point is the perfect place for FBI agent Laine Carrington to recuperate from a gunshot wound and contemplate her future. The locals embraced Laine as one of their own after she risked her life to save a young girl from a dangerous cult. Knowing her wounds go beyond the physical, Laine hopes she’ll fit in for a while and find her true self in a town that feels safe. She may even learn to open her heart to others, something an undercover agent has little time to indulge.

Eric Gentry is also new to Thunder Point. Although he’s a man with a dark past, he’s determined to put down roots and get to know the daughter he only recently discovered. When Laine and Eric meet, their attraction is obvious to everyone. But while the law enforcement agent and the reformed criminal want to make things work, their differences may run too deep…unless they take a chance on each other and find that deep and mysterious bond that belongs to those who choose love over fear.

Let me just say that the FBI/criminal thing really doesn’t go that far in this book. Instead The Chance is about two people with normal, complicated lives who fall in love and have to figure out how to make it work regardless of their other obligations. I think that is my favorite part of Robyn Carr’s characters – they are just like you and me, with normal problems and normal feelings and normal issues. They have to figure out how (or even if) they can make one life together with all the associated complications from two individual ones. It’s sweet and honest and straight-forward and I loved every minute of it.

Laine has some family complications she has to figure out, as well as trying to decide what she wants to do with her job going forward. Considering she’s on a year-long hiatus from her East Coast job, it isn’t surprising that Eric is a little hesitant about what that means for a future together. He’s got a job, friends and family in Thunder Point and he wants to be there at least a little longer. It doesn’t lead to a lot of large scale drama, instead it’s a very real one that could happen to anyone you know.

I really enjoyed both of the main characters (and I’ve never been shy about saying how much I love the rest of them) – Laine is sweet and loving, but being an FBI agent she also has a spine of steel. She’s smart, wily, funny and caring. Eric will be the first to say he was an idiot as a kid but he got his act together and he’s turned into a wonderful man. He’s considerate, loving and quite sexy. He’s smart, hardworking, but he’s learned from his past and come to grips with it. He could be bitter but instead he figured out how to be a better person for it. He takes care of those around him and loves very well.

And while we get some updates on previous characters, although not as much as maybe some of the other books in the series, we mainly focus on the central plot and one other subplot. It’s a sweet story with a couple of Eric’s workers that just about broke my heart before everything was tied up nicely at the end. The two storylines worked well together and I didn’t feel cheated or rushed with either of them.

The Chance is part of a series, but I think that you’ll be able to keep up even if you haven’t read any of the previous stories … although I will tell you that you are missing out on something great if you haven’t read the rest. If you like home-grown, real-life, small-town romances, you can’t miss with Robin Carr.

So it is obvious that my weekdays are starting to fill up with blog tours (which is very, very cool) except that I don’t have time for the reason I started this site …. book reviews. I love that I can share wonderful authors and books thanks to the great people who organize the tours, but I also love to read. I mean I REALLY love to read and I want to share some of those awesome books with you too, which means I’ve decided to start posting book reviews on the weekend. Since almost all of the tours are weekdays only, this means I get to share even more fantastic stories! I may still slip in a review here and there during the week (they will be plainly marked and be under Book Review in the menu) but I will make sure that I’m also posting on the weekends so you’ll get at least two reviews a week.

Make sure you still check out the tour stops during the week. There are some really amazing stories being highlighted on those tours and you never know when you might find that new favorite author or book.

Starting today, let me welcome you to Book Review Weekends!

Bittersweet Darkness, Death Defying, Nina Croft

I’m so pleased to have gotten the chance to do a little Q&A with awesome author Nina Croft. And to also get a double whammy look at her books, Bittersweet Darkness and Death Defying. Enjoy!

*****

What do you like best about writing romances?

I write a lot of paranormal romance, and while I love the happy endings, it’s the journey there that I really enjoy. I love the idea that I can take a couple with seemingly insurmountable odds, have really bad things happen to them, litter the way with carnage, but still know everything will come out well in the end.

What is your favorite romantic story (movie/book. fact/fiction)?

I don’t think I could pinpoint a single story, but one that sticks in my mind is The Flame and the Flower by Kathleen Woodiwiss. I love that book and still have it on my bookcase. It was the first big romance I read (I think I was around twelve at the time) and the book that started me on my life-long love of romance.

Film wise, I love Office and a Gentleman and Pretty Woman (or maybe I just love Richard Gere!)

If you could be any romantic heroine, who would it be and why?

Hard one. I suppose it’s guaranteed I’m going to get my happy ever after because this is romance, so maybe I should look at the question from another direction. Which hero do I want to spend the rest of my life with (or even eternity as I do meet a lot of immortal characters in my reading and writing.)

From my own books, I’d have to choose Skylar, the heroine from Break Out, book 1 in my Blood Hunter series. Skylar is a kick-ass soldier, immortal, and she gets to spend eternity with Rico, a stunningly gorgeous, two thousand year old vampire and my favorite hero.

From other authors, I think I’m going to choose MacKayla Lane from Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series. I know poor Mac suffers a lot but she does get Jericho Barrons in the end and that has to be worth a little suffering.

Which of your characters/books was the most fun to write?

By far the most fun to write is my Blood Hunter series. They are a mix of science fiction, paranormal and romance and absolutely anything can happen. I’d been watching my favorite TV show, Firefly, for the third time, and decided I wanted to write a space opera. But I’d also been going through a stage of writing contemporary and was in need of a paranormal fix. So the idea for Break Out, book one in the series came about—vampires in space. I’m working on book 6 in the series now and still loving it.

If you weren’t a writer, what would you be doing instead?

I honestly don’t know. Growing up, I wanted to be a vet, or an assassin or a space explorer, but none of them seem a likely alternative career at this point in my life.

In a long ago existence, I was a chartered accountant, but I really didn’t like it very much and have no wish to do it again.

I now live on an almond farm in the remote mountains of southern Spain. It’s a long way from anywhere and the chances of finding employment here are zero, and I don’t want to move. So maybe I would have to pick almonds. Sadly, the pay is really bad so maybe I’ll keep writing.

He’s the demon representative on the newly formed committee for the integration of mankind and well…everything else.

With a coup brewing and the crew of El Cazador close to tossing him off the ship, Callum turns to Tannis. Sparks fly as they work together to make it out alive. But can Callum really trust the one woman hell bent on using him? Defying death has never been more dangerous, more sexy, or more fun.

She then spent a number of years mixing travel (whenever possible) with work (whenever necessary) but has now settled down to a life of writing and picking almonds on a remote farm in the mountains of southern Spain.

Nina’s writing mixes romance with elements of the paranormal and science fiction.

Guest Post and Review – Morning Light

A Day of Pleasure series, Book Review, Cora Cade, Morning Light

Today’s post is going to be a fun one – we’ll start off with Cora Cade talking about the influence of music and we’ll take a look at her new book, Morning Light, which I’ve gotten a chance to read and enjoyed a lot. I’ve included my review below too so check it out!

*****

Every moment in life has a soundtrack. That first summer you had a license and your own car. The summer my husband I bought our house. The long nights I used to drive the four hours to and from our locations while we were dating long distance. That first road trip with your best friend.

All of the very best (and not so great) moments of my life can be associated with a specific song, artist, or album. And writing my first book was no exception. So, because I believe in sharing the joys of musical inspiration, I put together a mix tape of music that represents my debut release MORNING LIGHT. A story about a wounded Army Ranger finding love with his little brother’s best friend can only be symbolized with the following:

I Will Wait- Mumford & Sons
Anywhere Your Love Goes- Joshua Radin
Kiss Me- Ed Sheeran
Only Love- Ben Howard
A Drop In The Ocean- Ron Pope
Count on Me- Mat Kearney
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing- Jack Johnson
Love Don’t Die- The Fray
Ho Hey- The Lumineers
How Long Will I Love You- Ellie Goulding

Noah, our wounded Ranger, is perfectly summed up by Ed Sheeran’s ‘Kiss Me’. That song always makes me all swoony. And our heroine Tennyson has been waiting for Noah for ten years. While he was off being a war hero, she was waiting for him to come home. And being that I’m a crazed Josh Radin fan, I knew his ‘Anywhere Your Love Goes’ was the perfect inspiration for Tenn.

While I was working on MORNING LIGHT Mumford & Sons released ‘I Will Wait’ ahead of their second album. From that moment forward it was all I listened to while I finished up the book. Suffice it to say I’m a super ridiculous Mumford fan, but that song is perfect for the overall inspiration of the book.

If you’d like to check out the entirety of the mix tape, you can listen to it on Spotify: http://tinyurl.com/kfxrh3q

Morning Light

A Day of Pleasure Book 1

By Cora Cade

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publisher: Samhain Publishing

ISBN: 978-1-61921-537-5

ASIN: B00C4U6MJ2

Number of pages: 82

Word Count: 25,000

Cover Artist: Lyn Taylor

Amazon Samhain Barnes and Noble

Blurb:

His toughest battle is ahead—the battle for one woman’s heart.

During Noah Harper’s ten years as an Army Ranger, Tennyson Sharpe’s letters were his lifeline. With each mail call, the bright and vibrant girl of his youth slowly became the woman of his dreams.

Now he’s home—and he’s in hell. The problem? Tenn is his little brother’s best friend. Claiming her risks all kinds of collateral damage.

Tenn is getting nervous. Since Noah came home, they’ve been circling each other, neither willing to risk the status quo. It’s time to kick things up a notch and make a play for the man she’s loved since she was sixteen—before someone else does.

Dressing to impress works better than she could have dreamed. After a scorching interlude leads to a steamy morning wrapped in each other’s arms, reality comes crashing down. Shining a devastating light on Tenn’s deepest fears…and forcing Noah into scramble mode to convince her forever was always on his mind.

Product Warnings

This book contains some serious foreplay in the great outdoors; stand-up sex with a hot, stand-up guy; and a wounded Army Ranger who’s determined to leave no heart behind—especially the one belonging to the girl of his dreams.

*****

Excerpt:

Moving down the stairs from the apartment to the pub below, Noah heard the distinct sound of someone cussing up a storm. He quickened his pace to reach the door separating his living space from his workspace and gently opened it.

There, standing on top of his immaculately gleaming mahogany bar, stood Tennyson Sharpe in her bare feet. All five feet two inches of her. She was on her tiptoes, reaching for one of the light fixtures with one hand and a light bulb in the other. The stretch caused her white, fitted tee to slide up her belly and expose a sliver of summer-tanned skin.

She stuck her tongue out at an angle—in concentration, he supposed. As she twisted the used bulb from the fixture, she uttered a soft, “Gotcha.” The final motion to remove the bulb caused her to dip forward on her toes and lifted her jean skirt higher, offering a delectable view of her plain white cotton panties.

Noah instantly hardened at the sight. He’d been in lust with this girl since she was sixteen to his nineteen, and after ten years apart he was finally home. And here she stood, flashing him the sexiest view he’d seen in years. He leaned against the doorframe and watched the scene unfold, never happier to have given her a key a few months back.

As she placed the fresh bulb in the fixture, she stretched again. Her whole body lengthened, straining to reach the fixture. She was all tan limbs and womanly curves. Her body was at enough of an angle that he could see her breasts tight against the fitted tee, but more importantly her cute behind as she placed both palms on the bar to hop down from her perch. As she braced herself she lifted her perky behind and flashed him.

The curve of her sex flashed before him as those white panties intimately hugged her. In a flash, both feet were planted on the floor and she was picking up the used bulb from the bar, then slipping her sandals back on. Time to turn around and head back upstairs before she caught him with a full-on erection and he embarrassed himself.

Noah eased the door shut and sprinted back up the stairs as quietly as he could, hoping to give himself a few moments to calm his erection before she unceremoniously showed up in his apartment for their breakfast plans.

He needed a cold shower before they left or he’d never survive the meal. He was going to have wet dreams about her white panties for weeks to come.

Stripping off his jeans and plain black tee, he dropped his clothes where he stood and snapped the bathroom door shut as his apartment door opened.

“Noah?” Tenn heard the shower start as she closed the door behind her. Well, that was unusual. Noah was nothing if not prompt. Ten years as an Army Ranger kind of beat that into you. She rapped on the bathroom door with a knuckle. “Hey, are you alive in there?”

“I’ll be out in minute. Got a late start to the morning. Give me five.”

She glanced down and saw a pile of clothes. Strange. Noah was also one of the neatest, cleanest people she’d ever known. His place was always immaculate, with nothing out of place. Let alone a pile of clothes tossed by the bathroom.

Now she was starting to sweat. Did he have a girl here? Had she interrupted the morning-after? Shit. That Amber bimbo had been making a play for Noah ever since he’d come home. And if she was in this apartment right now, Tenn was going to die of embarrassment. Right after she beat Noah to death.

They had plans. Even if they weren’t the romantic kind, they were definitely plans. They’d had Sunday breakfast as a standing date since his return from overseas. And he’d never had a woman here.

Who was she kidding? He had every right to get freaky with anyone he wanted. She was just the trusty sidekick, the platonic friend who was always there. Like a lapdog.

Picking up the clothes, she folded them and set them on the back of the couch a few feet away. The apartment was neat as a pin and pretty spacious, as far as it went. It was an open floor plan with only two separate rooms off the main living area, the master bedroom and the bathroom. Everything else was one large, airy space. From this angle she couldn’t see into the bedroom and was half-afraid to know if someone was still in his bed. Warming it for him, so to speak.

Deciding she needed to know, she took a step toward the bedroom after picking back up the stack of clothes she’d set down a moment before. It was a perfect excuse to check out the situation. His dirty clothes needed to be tossed into the hamper. Right.

She was about to fully push open the bedroom door when Noah yelled, “Hey, Tenn. I left my clothes out there. Could you grab them for me?”

And before she could whip around and not look guilty he popped his head out of the bathroom door. As she turned in his direction, she could only see a portion of his upper body, with the rippling muscle and just-now-fading tan from his time in Afghanistan, but it was enough to stop her dead in her tracks. The man was masculine perfection and her panties got a little wet looking at him.

“Oh, did you want these? Um, I was about to put them in your hamper.” Belatedly she whirled around and held up the clothes in question. “I thought they were dirty.”

For a moment he looked like he blushed. Really? “Sorry, I wanted to take a quick shower before we headed out and I tossed them on the floor in my rush.” He reached out a hand and beckoned her forward.

She was going to combust before she reached him. Not only was the man deliciously muscled, he still dripped from his shower. His dark hair, cut in a military-style buzz, glistened in the morning light. Eyes the color of the ocean on a sunny day, clear and crisp-blue, tracked her progress. She cleared the edge of the couch and his gaze skated down the length of her body, snagging on her legs before coming back to her face.

Once within reach of the bathroom door heat crept up her neck and face when she realized Noah stood naked on the other side of the door. His body was positioned so she could only see a naked hip and the curve of a well-defined ass, but it was obvious he hadn’t bothered wrapping a towel around his waist before popping his head out the door.

She dropped his clothes before he could get a grip on them and they fell to the floor with a soft impact. Unbelievably, as she bent to retrieve the clothing, her face flamed even hotter in embarrassment.

Review:

This is quite a steamy little story – at a little under 100 pages it packs a ton of heat in just a handful of pages. Both Tenn and Noah are fun. They have been held back by different fears but they are finally at their breaking point. It’s a fast-paced read, erotic and emotion-packed, with a captivating storyline and terrific characters.

I think my only problem is that we didn’t get more of the interaction between them when Noah was away at war, so that we could have seen more of them falling in love. Instead we get them at the point that they both have feelings but are unsure of the other and what it could do with their relationship with Chris, Noah’s brother. It’s still a delightful story but I think that would have added that little extra zing. As it stands, though, I whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a few hours with some sizzle and romance.

A sensuous treat, bold in the bedroom and complicated out of it, Morning Light is an intriguing tale of two people who have to decide if the possibility of a future is enough to take on the risks of a relationship. The best part is it is the first in a series and I definitely can’t wait for more. Both Chris and Tenn’s friend, Molly, have a lot of promise.

PAN’S CONQUEST

by Aubrie Dionne

EBook: 119 pages

Release Date: February 24, 2014

ISBN: 978-1622663460

Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes and Noble

Blurb:

Syrinx pulled a fast one on Pan to escape his raging lust. The God of Chastity wasn’t about to break her vows and succumb to his temptations. Transported to the twenty-first century, she runs a florist shop—fulfilling her fake, mortal life. Until the breathtaking Parker Thomas hires her to decorate his grand estate for a gala. Five hundred roses? Easy enough. Except Parker makes her feel things she can’t ignore…

As the God of Fertility, Pan is used to maidens flocking in droves to his pastures. So when Syrinx denies him, he’s determined to win the one that got away. He poses as a mortal to get close to her, but he doesn’t count on falling hard for his conquest—hard enough to make a life and stay.

But Syrinx is falling in love with a man that doesn’t exist. Can Pan hide his identity forever, or will the truth tear them apart?

*****

Excerpt:

Prologue

Syrinx sprinted alongside the river, breathless. Her bare feet fell silent in the mossy undergrowth, yet the burning sense of Pan’s pursuit followed her every move. He’d tracked her for days, all the way to the edge of the mythical forests surrounding Mount Olympus. If she could reach the waterfall and disappear in the caves before her scent caught the wind, she could lose him.

And lose him she must.

Jumping to a rock outcropping leading down the falls, she swore she would never let his invitations compromise her godly vows. She ducked behind cattails, catching her breath. The river mist sprayed her bare legs, soothing her and cooling the unwanted passion arising within her as she remembered the burning lust in his eyes. Anger burned through her. She’d chosen to embody the goddess of chastity, and no male god—especially not a wild philanderer—could change that. Why she found his godly merging of man and beast irresistible, she couldn’t guess.

She turned, ready to descend into the misty caverns under the falls, when laughter caught her attention.

A young mortal stood alongside the water, berry juice smeared over her mouth and cheeks. The girl leaned forward over the rushing waters, her simple blue cotton dress dangling too close to the edge. Something—or someone—lured her toward the depths.

Syrinx took one look down into the caves where her freedom lay, then changed her mind and dove into the rushing stream. A raven-haired nymph floated in the undulating river grass, holding a turtle just below the surface. Coral. Damn it. She’d lure the girl into the water, then tangle her in the reeds and watch her struggle.

Syrinx swam toward the nymph and knocked the turtle from her hands. The turtle swam into the reeds as Coral pushed her back. “I knew it. Only a Goody Two-Shoes would stop another nymph from their pleasure.”

“Mortals are not to be toyed with.” Syrinx grabbed Coral’s feet and dragged her down into the depths toward the falls. She’d take Coral with her if she had to. One tumble off a cliff would not kill a god.

Coral growled, “What else are they for?”

A splash behind Syrinx caught her attention. Syrinx turned around in horror as the girl sank into the murky reeds, her blond curls floating around her heart-shaped face. Coral lunged forward, and Syrinx held her back. Using her powers, she called to the river reeds, winding them around Coral’s ankles. Coral’s parents were both river nymphs, but Syrinx descended from Artemis, legendary mother of the wildland and the hunt. Her powers ran deep from the mountain’s core.

Coral struggled against her bindings, but could not break free. Syrinx swam to the place where the girl had fallen in and clawed at the tangled reeds. Nothing.

She checked the tide barreling toward the waterfall.

Her chest tightened. Had the girl already tumbled over? Syrinx broke through the surface, scanning the area hysterically. The girl stood on the riverbank, dripping water and laughing. Pan stood beside her, playing a melancholy melody on his reed flute. Green eyes, wild as the forest in the moonlight and intense as the raging river, settled on Syrinx. His bare chest shone tan in the midday sun. Hard abs rippled down to his waist, where the fusion of man and beast began.

Syrinx stood mesmerized as the girl turned toward her. She scowled as if Syrinx had tried to drown her. Before Syrinx could say otherwise, the girl ran into the woods, leaving her alone with the one god she wanted to avoid at all costs.

Pan’s lips curled into a grin. “Enjoying your dip, my dear?”

Syrinx stepped forward, rising from the water. Pan’s eyes followed the curve of her breasts as her wet dress clung to her body. She wanted to hate him, yet she reveled in the pleasure spread across his face. His admiration made her feel like the goddess she was. Just a few more steps and she’d be his.

“You saved the girl.” She sounded more accusatory then thankful.

“Of course I saved her. Not all of us have Coral’s thirst for tragedy.”

“Then why must you pursue me?”

“Come now.” He winked, and her heart skipped a beat. “I’d hardly call my pursuit of your chastity tragic.”

“Not tragic for you.” Syrinx scrounged up her willpower and inched toward the falls. She glanced at his muscular legs, then wished she hadn’t. A blush burned her cheeks. “Breaking my vow destroys everything I stand for.”

He gave her a suggestive smile and stepped forward. “I’ll make it worthwhile.”

She bet he would. Her mind wandered, wondering what those sinister lips tasted like and how it would feel to be claimed by him. He’d saved the girl, so he wasn’t as evil as she made him out to be. Yet he could have done it just to gain her confidence. Underneath his sly flirtatiousness, who was he? A child of the forest—wild and untamed, fickle and cold as the wind. She’d have him for a day, then he’d be on to his next conquest, and she’d have nothing. Not even her pride.

She didn’t trust him, and she couldn’t trust herself.

Syrinx backed toward the falls. The surge of water roared at her back.

“Please.” Pan held out his hand, and the pain in his eyes tugged on her heart. “Give me a chance.”

“And sacrifice my eternal honor for one night?” She laughed bitterly. “You can never make it worth it.”

Without another word, she spread her arms and fell back, sailing down the falls like an angel falling from the heavens. Adrenaline rushed through her, along with a bubbling sense of freedom and a strong pride in herself. She would not give in to her temptations. She was the goddess of chastity and she reigned supreme.

Syrinx hit the water and allowed the current to take her down the river. Floating on her back with her face to the sky, she watched the gods ride their golden chariots on clouds. Zeus cast lightning across the sky while Apollo sang poetry into the wind. Somewhere up there, Artemis smiled down on her with pride.

She reached the far banks of the forest and waded to shore. As she wrung out her dress, a voice followed her. “You truly want to be rid of him?”

Syrinx whirled around. Coral stood, dripping on the rocks, her black hair flicked across her face so only one crazy, black eye showed. Her legs were red with welts where the river reeds had grabbed hold.

“I don’t need your help.” Syrinx pointed to the falls several miles behind them. “I can take care of myself.” Besides, she wouldn’t trust that river nymph with a rock she wanted to throw away.

“He won’t stop following you.” Coral’s eyes grew desperate, as if she wished he would.

Murderer that she was, Coral piqued her curiosity. Syrinx shook her head, trying to make sense of this sudden show of friendship. “Why do you care? All I do is foil your…enjoyment.”

The black-haired nymph sniffed and turned away. “Some of us desire his affections.”

Syrinx scoffed. “You mean you want him?” She hid a rising streak of jealousy. What was getting into her? Pan was no more hers than the sun and the moon. He belonged to nature and no one else.

Coral gave Syrinx a jealous sneer. “All he can think of right now is pursuing you. Take you out of the equation, and he’s ripe for the picking.”

Syrinx studied Coral’s dark eyes. The cruel nymph may not be as powerful as she was, but she was more clever and sly than Syrinx ever wanted to be. Maybe she had a decent plan. “If I agree, will you vow never to drown another soul?”

Coral put her hands on her hips. “That’s asking a lot.”

Syrinx pursed her lips. “Maybe I want to tease him. Maybe I enjoy this sick, little game of catch and chase. I could drag this out for centuries.”

Coral pulled her hands through her knotted hair. “All right. I can’t promise you every mortal on this earth, but how about staying away from the innocent ones?”

Syrinx considered her answer. Coral would help her get away and stop drowning children. This was quite a deal. But could she trust her? The last thing Coral wanted was for her to have Pan, so what was the worst that could happen? Syrinx raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean to do?”

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, Patricia Eimer

This morning we welcome author Patricia Eimer as she talks about her favorite part of romance novels and shares with us her newest book, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead.

*****

Since I’m a romance author with 7 (it’s hard to believe that number is right but I’ve checked and it is) published romance novels to my name and another 4 contracted people sometimes ask me what my favorite part of romance novels is—both to read and to write. Most people assume it’s the sex. Heck, if you’d have asked me years ago when I was too young to really understand romance novels I would have told you it was the sex. The secret, hidden part that you aren’t supposed to tell anyone about.

Then I grew up. I had relationships. I got married. I had a couple of kids and suddenly romance novels weren’t illicit anymore. No one was scandalized that I knew what sex was. Which, now that I think about it is something of a disappointment. I want to scandalize people. I didn’t enjoy that power when I had it. But alas, scandal is hard to do when you’re a middle aged suburban mommy and what I enjoy most about romance novels isn’t the sex. Heck, I can find that on prime time telly now.

What I enjoy most about romance novels is the first time the hero and the heroine meet. That first instant that they latch eyes on each other and everything goes wrong.

What? I can hear you say. That’s not how it happens. Their eyes lock and… Now you’re going back to your romance novels and going wait a second—it does always go wrong before we get to the sexy parts. Usually heroes and heroines are sure that the last person they’d be happy with is each other. They spill scalding coffee on each other or catch their future love in the arms of a married partner or one of them falls in a gopher hole and breaks an ankle. And usually—even in the most serious of romance novels that first moment is funny. Not always ha ha funny sure but still at least worthy of one of those cringe worthy “I’m so glad it’s you and not me” chuckles.

I love that about romance novels. Because I don’t know about you, but I’ve never really had a cringe worthy introduction to a lover. I’ve been introduced by friends, had them buy me drinks and we’ve chatted. I once met a man I dated for over a year while we were both buying milk in the checkout line of a gas station. My husband and I? We went to high school together and were on the same track team. He stammered the first time he invited me to a movie. Not exactly Hollywood material.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my husband. I adore my husband. After all these many years together I can honestly tell you that George Clooney and Brad Pitt could show up and one could rub my feet while the other hand fed me artisanal swiss chocolate while we watched Channing Tatum and Chris Hemsworth did a strip tease and afterwards Tom Hiddleston sang me love songs and recited Shakespeare and I would still go home with my husband at the end of the night. Sure, I’d take the chocolate with me, and I’d probably be a few (hundred) dollars lighter in the savings account but not even all of Hollywood’s hottest could make me want to stray.

But we are not the stuff romance novels are wrote about. We’re ordinary. Just like I’d want us to be. And I’m sure just like most of you are all happy to be. But when I read a romance novel for just the length of that book I want something more and for me it always starts right about the time the heroine accidentally dumps burning hot coffee all over the hot young guy on the subway next to her.

Not Even Death Keeps a Good Demoness Down

There’s never an end to the crazy when you’re demon spawn. Not that Faith Bettincourt’s complaining. She’s been patching things up with her angelic on-again off-again boyfriend, Matt, and her best-friend-turned-sister-in-law is soon giving birth to the Anti-Christ Part Deux. Oh, and Faith is saving kids from Death in her pediatric unit one soul at a time. Life is good.

Until Faith accidentally runs over the Angel of Death and is forced to take his place. Now she’s taking lives instead of saving them. Which is kind of a problem when you’re a nurse. As if that weren’t bad enough, she is suddenly thrust into the worst scenario of them all–Matt’s ex Brenda is back, and she’s brought the Apocalypse with her.

Faith’s not about to give up the world…or her man. But when the chips are down, what’s a demoness supposed to do? Besides take matters into her own hands, of course.

And don’t forget – Book 1 LUCK OF THE DEVIL and Book 3 BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD are 99 cents for a limited time on all eBook platforms!

Author Info:

Patricia Eimer is a small-town girl fated to be a storyteller. After a stint of “thinking practically,” she earned degrees in Business and Economics, but her passion has always been a good book. She lives in Pittsburgh with her two kids and a husband who learned the art of frozen pizza to give her more time to write. When she’s not writing she can be found fencing or arguing with her dogs about plot points. Most days the beagle wins, but the dalmatian is a close second. She’s a distant third.
