W.I.P. - FLAT SPIN (scheduled to be out Spring of 2018) 
Jayde had a rough start to life. She never knew her parents. Well, maybe she did, one time when she was younger. Now all she knew was what the shrink on the military base where she’d been captive since her teenage years, told her. She had, somehow, rendered her phony agent parents unconscious, so she wasn’t really blameless, but working for a corrupt president to use her powers to kill a pesky downed pilot in some Chinese swamp wasn’t her style. 

So, even though part of the president’s black ops, clean-up squad, she refused to “off” the big beautiful, muscular astronaut with shave cut and astronaut eagle tattoo on his upper arm. This was the first real man she’d been anywhere near, and she was breathless. Or has her heavy breathing more to do with him dragging her through the cold swamp in escaping her black ops squad?

She was in her twenties but she knew she looked like an older teenager and he considered her a kid—a freezing kid who he wanted to get to some shelter so he could get her into a sleeping bag to share his heat. Would this be a chance to have an experience she may never get another chance at? Wary, she wasn’t sure what a real man like this one would be expecting from her.

Actual dialogue from WIP Flat Spin, a space opera romance: 

“My people will arrive soon,” he said.

Jayde wanted to question him on that and lots of other things, but he’d stuffed any remaining items in his duffel, slung it over his shoulder, and trudged on. Stopped. Turned.

“The sleeves are too long.” He waited for her to catch up, approached, and attempted to fold the overly long sleeves of his sweatshirt around her arms, his fingers dwelling there, perhaps comparing her dainty wrists to his robust ones.

Her hand traveled up his arm where his warm muscles stretched the sweater lining his new flight suit from wrist to elbow.

“Stop that,” he said.

“Stop? Oh, sorry. It’s just that you’re so…” His arms are almost as big around as my thighs.

“Yes, and you’re so …” He lifted her stick of an arm. “Now let’s get going.”

She’s Hume’n, a member of the lower class, with one chance to change her life…

In an alternate, twenty-first century Boston, Dawn Jamison is a hair’s breadth away from earning her doctorate degree—a degree that would allow her entrance into the upper class, to become the unemotional and self-disciplined Cartesian she is now only pretending to be. To reach her goal, all Dawn must do is overcome her forbidden attraction to the Olympic-class weightlifter Taylor Stephenson who’s just crashed her lectures on past life regression. She must also teach her group of misfit students how to travel back into their past lives—and, oh, of course, figure out how to save the great scientists of the early eighteenth century before they’re inextricably caught up in a time loop.

He’s Cartesian, a member of the upper class, and supposed to know better…

Coerced by his politically powerful, wheelchair-bound brother into spying on Dawn’s past-life regression classes, Taylor knows better than to give into his desire to claim Dawn as his own. But his past-life entity, eighteenth-century Colin, has no such inhibitions. When Taylor and Dawn meet up in Scotland in the 1700s, all the discipline he’s forced on his twenty-first-century self disintegrates in the past, leaving only his overwhelming lust for Dawn’s past-life double, Lily. Unable to escape their sexually obsessive past, Dawn and Taylor find themselves in a race against the clock at the epicenter of a world-altering time quake of their own making.


Excerpt Entangled:
Before Dawn had finished the second suggestive sentence of her self-regression, she was here in the misty Lowlands of Scotland, not far outside Edinburgh. As on her previous trips, she was literally in Lily’s body, experiencing all the woman’s senses and emotions, but none of her thoughts. So frustrating.

It’s 1824 Philadelphia at the opening of the Franklin Institute of Science, and one of its founders, Samantha’s father, wants her to marry his business partner, a much older man, to keep their war industry dealings secret.

Looking for a way out of the arranged marriage, tomboy Sam finds it in Eagle, the half Native American son of the man she is to marry.

Eagle brings Samantha into his spiritual world, his bimijiwan, in order that she might stop their father’s preparations for an ironclad Civil War at sea. To do this, Sam might have to convince Benjamin Franklin to abandon his kite experiment.

Excerpt Fly Like An Eagle:
Samantha had most probably escaped to the house. Migizi (Eagle) would return her shawl, hoping by the time he caught up to her, she would have put on something a little less fetching.

Her father had been wrong about him. Leaving me alone with Ronaldson’s nubile daughter? Look at her as a sister? He’d have more success taking flight by jumping off a cliff and flapping his arms.

Movie Review: Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)
January 26, 2018
Director: Wes Ball
Writers: T.S. Nowlin (screenplay by), James Dashner (based upon the novel by)
Stars: Dylan O'Brien, Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scodelario |
PG-13
2h 22min
Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller
Young hero Thomas embarks on a mission to find a cure for a deadly disease known as the "Flare".

I went to see the advanced showing of The Death Cure with my 16-year-old daughter last Thursday. She is a fan. And by fan, I mean owns at least two sets of all the books (there is the trilogy and two prequels) along with two signed copies of book one. Went to the fan convention, GladerCon, for the series, and has seen The Death Cure two more times since last Thursday. Here is a photo of Holly with cast members and James Dashner (the author of the books).
I enjoyed the first two movies (The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials). The Death Cure was my favorite of the three. It started off at top speed and never slowed down. Lots of action and things blowing up.

As a fan of the books, Holly says she is happy with how The Death Cure played out. Book fans were a little disappointed with the first two movies because some of the key scenes in the books had been left out, but The Death Cure made up for it. There were many nods at the book included along with some from Dashner's other series.

If you like big action movie troupes (they use them all) then you will like this one. I don't think you have to see the first two to enjoy The Death Cure, but it wouldn't hurt. The first two have been showing on TV so you can catch them for free.

HollyS gives it 5 "sobbing" Sheep

A war has been brewing in the shadows.

Kaelyn Hamblin never felt particularly extraordinary, growing up in a strong Irish household in the heart of Boston for most of her young life. Her humdrum routine remained markedly unchanged for longer than she cared to remember; until that day. The day when a beautiful stranger drifted into her hole-in-the-wall bookshop and changed her life forever.

Tyrian knew from the moment he locked eyes on her that she was the one. His one. The singular being within all of time and space that was made for him and him alone. His world was not one of niceties and pretty things; bringing her into it would be dangerous. But he would protect her. He had to. After all, it was foretold.

Worlds collide, marking the beginning of the end to an age long battle warring between the forces of darkness and light in the universe. The fate of all rests on the shoulders of a lone druid and her band of human hunters to quell the rising tide of evil threatening to overtake everything and plunge the connected realms into eternal darkness.

Release Day: Drakon’s Past (Blood of the Drakon #4) by N.J. Walters + giveaway

Drakon’s Past (Blood of the Drakon #4)
by N.J. Walters

January 29th, 2018
Published by: Entangled: Amara
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance
Constance Owens has a gift for finding unique items in the most unlikely places, which comes in handy since she buys and sells artifacts and antiques for a living. When she purchases a set of four dragon statues, she has no idea just how unique they are, or that finding them will thrust her into a world of secret societies, men who think nothing of kidnapping and murder to get what they want, and dragon shifters.

Nic hasn’t survived for four thousand years by letting his guard down, and he doesn’t trust anyone except his drakon brothers. The loneliness haunting him has been getting worse since all his brothers have found their mates. And when he finds the woman his drakon recognizes instantly as his fated mate, he doubts he’ll ever have what his brothers have, because it seems she’s involved with the secret society of hunters who have been hunting and capturing his kind for hundreds of years.

The Blood of the Drakon series is best enjoyed in order

Reading Order:

EXCERPT:
Constance blinked. She heard Abigail scream and some of the men yell. Nic had to be about fifteen feet long, and that wasn’t including his long, powerful tail, which was tucked around him.

He rose on his back legs and released his wings. The spread had to be at least double the size of his body.

Nic was a dragon.

She shook her head. Impossible.

Nic. Was. A. Dragon.

She’d had sex with a dragon. She was in love with a bloody dragon. How was this even possible? Then she remembered what Nic had told her about Dent and how the group he belonged to wanted to capture him and drink his blood. She couldn’t let that happen.

But it was too late. Dent fired at her again, and Nic pounced, coming down over her. She feared he might crush her with his gigantic body, but instead, he crouched above her like some big watchdog, shielding her from any further bullets.

The moment he was inside the circle, something changed. He roared as though he was in pain. She scrambled out from beneath him. “Nic? Nic, what’s wrong?” Stupid question all things considered, but this was something different, something he hadn’t been expecting.

These statues were dangerous to him.

He turned his big head toward her and opened his mouth. God, those were big teeth. All the better to eat her with. Yeah, not a pleasant thought. In this form, she’d barely be a snack.

“Run.” The word was guttural, as though it had been pulled from him.

He’d known. He’d known she’d planned to betray him, and still he was trying to save her. If she hadn’t already loved him, she would have fallen in that moment. Man or beast, it didn’t matter.

Book Review: Unchained by a Forbidden Love (Eternal Mates Paranormal Romance Series Book 15) by Felicity Heaton

Unchained by a Forbidden Love (Eternal Mates Paranormal Romance Series Book 15)
by Felicity Heaton
December 14, 2017
330 pages
Genre: paranormal romance, vampires, fantasy
Lost to the darkness, Fuery wages a daily war against the corruption that lives within him, constantly in danger of slipping into the black abyss and becoming the monster all elves fear. Work as an assassin gives him purpose, but what reason is there to go on when he killed the light of his life—his fated mate?

Shaia has spent forty-two centuries mourning her mate. Tired and worn down, she agrees to wed a male of her family’s choosing, following tradition that has always bound her as a female and hoping she will be able to gain just a little freedom in return. But as she resigns herself to being the mate of a male she could never love, fate places an old friend in her path—one who tells her that her lost love is alive.

Will Shaia find the courage to break with tradition and leave the elf kingdom in search of her mate? And as a ray of light pierces his soul again, can Fuery find the strength to win his battle against the darkness or will it devour him and that light of their forbidden love forever?

Discover a passionate, lush, and powerful paranormal romance world packed with dark elves, vampires, demons, fae, shifters and angels from New York Times and USA Today Best-Selling Paranormal Romance Author Felicity Heaton.

For over four thousand years Shaia has mourned the death of her fated one, Fuery. She has been living a sort of half-existence with her parents in the elf kingdom, never quite embracing life. Shortly after reluctantly agreeing to marry a fellow elf vetted by her parents, Shaia leans Fuery may be alive and working as an assassin. And so she embarks on a journey to find Fuery and, in essence, the other half of her soul. But when Shaia finally reunites with Fuery, she finds him profoundly changed and narrowly averting a descent into dark madness.

A Felicity Heaton book is a guaranteed good read. I very much enjoy the Eternal Mates series. The books are all connected here and there, however, they can be read as standalones. I started the series with book 11. Eternal Mates is well done paranormal romance. The settings are imaginative and the storylines sexy. Unchained by a Forbidden Love is told non-linearly with several flashbacks to the origins of Shaia and Fuery’s relationship. I liked this technique as it added a bit of complexity to the plot. The action in the last part of the book is suspenseful and entertaining. I also love a good second chance story. When characters have history, it adds to the intensity of their connection. That was one of the features I loved about Eternal Mates #11.

Of the Heaton books I’ve read, this is probably one of my least favourite, however. While I liked it well enough, I found much of the book a little overwrought by Fuery’s angst. I found his tumultuous thoughts and relationship apprehension a little repetitive and I feel the book could’ve been considerably shorter. I didn’t really connect with Shaia and found her rather unoriginal and flat as a character.

Ultimately I love this series and I look forward to the next installment. I’m also eagerly anticipating the third book in Heaton’s Guardians of Hades series slated for release this year.

Excerpt Spotlight: Surrender to the Highlander (The Highlander Series ) by Lynsay Sands + giveaway


 

by Lynsay Sands
January 30, 2018 
Genre: Adult Historical Romance
Publisher: Avon Books 
In New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands’ captivating romance, a lass targeted by an unknown foe is saved—and seduced—by a bold Highlander.

Edith Drummond owes her life to Niels Buchanan and his brothers. Waking after an illness to a castle overrun by rugged Highlanders is disconcerting, but so is learning that she’s slowly being poisoned. Niels insists on staying by her side, and Edith soon discovers that even more dangerous is her wild attraction to the fierce warrior.

Niels has never met a more courageous—or enticing—woman than Lady Edith. The idea of such a bonny lass being forced to enter a nunnery is more than any red-blooded Scotsman could bear. He’ll gladly marry her himself. But while sweeping her off her feet is easy, it’ll take all his skill to defeat her family’s relentless enemies, and convince her to surrender to his sweet embrace. . . .


EXCERPT:
He would kiss her now…

It was why she had brought him here, to get that kiss he was about to give her before they had been interrupted.

Niels lowered his head until his mouth covered hers. His lips lightly brushed over hers. But when Edith raised her hands to slide them up his arms, his tongue traced the crease between her lips.

Edith instinctively opened to him on a little sigh and he caught her lower lip between his, and drew on it teasingly. Then he tilted his head as his tongue swept to fill her mouth and the sweet tempo suddenly changed.

She clutched his shoulders tightly as his mouth ravished hers. It was as if the passion they had shared by the loch had been merely restrained when they’d been interrupted, and now he had unleashed it.

Selah's Manga Mania Reviews: The Demon Prince of Momochi House, Vol. 1-7 by Aya Shouoto

The Demon Prince of Momochi House, Vol. 1-7
(Momochi-san Chi no Ayakashi Ouji)
by Aya Shouoto
July 7, 2015
172 pages
Volumes: 12 (on going)
GenreFantasy, romance
VIZ Media: Shojo Beat
On her sixteenth birthday, orphan Himari Momochi inherits her ancestral estate that she's never seen. Momochi House exists on the barrier between the human and spiritual realms, and Himari is meant to act as guardian between the two worlds. But on the day she moves in, she finds three handsome squatters already living in the house, and one seems to have already taken over her role!

One of the things I’m reading lately (it’s still ongoing – I’m behind and only up to vol 7 of 11 so far) is a title that combines romance sensibilities with the paranormal, something that’s also big in the shojo genre. I’m enjoying it as of right now because it’s got enough plot to keep it interesting and the romance isn’t so back-and-forth dramatic that it makes me want to kick a wall. It seems to be a slow burn because there are some significant problems going on for the characters, and I’m okay with that.

Himari inherits her family’s house when her parents die because orphaned teen girl is a classic way to kick off a plot. At any rate, she goes to find this house she never knew about, and for good reason – it sits on a place where the mortal and spirit plans collide. Within the house dwell many types of yokai (or ayakashi, I think this series uses both terms). Upon her arrival, she discovers that Aoi is already living there, as are two other guys.
And the house has decided Aoi is the rightful representative. Also the other dudes are yokai in human form.

After refusing to leave, Himari works to find her place within the household while battling different feelings for Aoi – who can also turn into an ayakashi form (the Nue) to fight off yokai, demons, and solve supernatural problems within the house. What’s interesting is Himari has stumbled upon at least one power of her own and often inserts herself into different supernatural conflicts, with varying results.

Of course the main thrust of the series is will she and Aoi get together or not, and is complicated by the fact that he can’t actually leave the house. She gradually learns more about him and the others (Ise and Yukari). The series is slowly leaning into putting her into a role of helping Aoi regain his human memories/make it possible for him to return to human life, but I have to admit, I have no idea where this is going.


I will admit, parts of this have made me laugh because Aoi has been trapped in the house since he was a child, so some of his behavior is more like a kid which leads to some funny moments of misinterpretation (he ends up in Himari’s bed a lot just because he wants someone to cuddle with, etc).

On the one hand, Himari is the classic “good” heroine who is pretty much there to be good and encourage the hero to be good and good good good etc. On the other, she does mess up, she does try to fix her mistakes, and she gets in over her head trying to help out. Thankfully, this reads less as her being dumb and more as her trying to figure out her role in the house, which works and I like so far. There’s also plenty of school interaction because she’s also determined to go to school and sometimes the yokai who can leave the house end up tailing her for Aoi in human disguise. This works as an episodic story and as a bigger arc, and I like that it uses the paranormal aspects to really push things along instead of just set dressing. I’m still up in the air about it as a whole series, but I like what I’ve read so far. The art is pretty, the yokai designs are cute or spectacular, and there’s as much humor as there is drama and slow-burn romance. It’s a decent, fun, fast read.

Book Review: Ignite (Spelldrift: Coven of Fire Book 2) by Sierra Cross

Ignite (Spelldrift: Coven of Fire Book 2)
by Sierra Cross
July 6, 2017
Pages: 302
I’ve only been living in the Magicborn world for a few weeks now. But when I’m yanked from sleep by a demon’s blade at my throat, I know we’ve got a problem on our hands. It’s not a run-of-the-mill Nequam, either, but a deadly Caedis. And someone sent him for me.

If that isn’t enough to deal with, the city’s most powerful spellcasters are turning up dead and the Fidei, the order that polices our kind, is sniffing around our coven. It’s no secret that the Magicborn community has no love for our ragtag group, and now it looks like we’re being framed for murder.

Keeping this coven out of prison is going to be a serious challenge, partly because of the secrets that I can’t bring myself to share with the others. My magic’s been malfunctioning. My dreams are being invaded. And my brain’s always spinning, wondering if Matt will ever break the archaic vow that stops him from admitting his feelings for me.

Can the only way out of this mess really be risky alliances with a dangerous vampire and a dark witch who’s betrayed me in the past?

Ignite, the second book in the Coven of Fire series by Sierra Cross, will have you turning the pages to get your fix of forbidden romance, dangerous alliances, and deadly magical secrets.


Now that Tenebris is back in the demon realm for another hundred years Alix is feeling much better until she is awoken in the middle of the night with a knife to her throat by another Caedis. Even though she knows it’s not Tenebris she is surprised that this demon knows her name and was sent for her.

To shore up the wards at the demon gate, the coven seeks out the help of more powerful and knowledgeable spellcasters but each keep turns up dead when the members of the coven show up to meet them. The Fidei believe the Coven of Fire is responsible for the murders and begins investigating them and Larch is determined to bring them down.

The magnetism between Alix and Matt brings a little romance to this enchanting story. Witches, warlocks, vampires and wont’s (humans) are just the start that bring intrigue, mystery, magic and more to book 2 of the Spelldrift, Coven of Fire series.
