Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR
Unwillingly bonded to a Demon. Together, they can save humanity.

This news shatters Kiara’s life: her boyfriend, James—childhood love and the one she was certain she’d spend forever with—is dead. Now, he wants to talk to her.

Damian, the demon now possessing James’ body, and one of the many monsters prowling amongst mostly ignorant humans, couldn’t care less about Kiara. Until she tries to kill him and he’s forced to make a contract with her to stay alive.

Her first love is now her monstrous enemy.

With Kiara and Damian begrudgingly bonded to one another, both become part of a tenuous alliance with a secret organization of monster hunters; Damian to search for who—or what—is trying to bring a cataclysmic number of monsters to their world; Kiara to fulfill her end of the contract and free herself from him.

Damian’s demonic personality might be as sharp as his teeth, but beneath his monstrous façade he’s keeping secrets. And the closer he and Kiara grow, the more Kiara learns she might be able to get James back after all. If Damian hasn’t destroyed him for good.

And if they don’t become prey to the very things they’re hunting.

Legendborn meets The Luminaries in My Dearest Monster, a monstrous contemporary fantasy filled with sinister magic, surprising twists, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance.

As his curse’s deadline approaches, Kaspar and his beloved enchanted forest stand on the brink of doom.

Deep in the snowy forests of Germany, the Alder King of legend runs short on time. Cursed by a vengeful sorceress for his father’s misdeeds, Kaspar’s desperate quest for the one elusive remedy–love–becomes increasingly dire. Each passing day, his hope dwindles, for who could ever see past his face, marred by the scars of ancient magic?

Eliza Wilson has two missions: write her dissertation and savor her fleeting days of freedom. Her fiancé considers her interests pointless, and while her family loves him, Eliza longs for a deeper connection. With their wedding on the horizon, this research trip is her last chance to indulge her interest in all things mythical.

Though the country house she rents a room in is breathtaking, the surly landlord–who covers his face and seems reluctant to acknowledge her unless they’re discussing literature–soon becomes more fascinating than her research.

As her determination to unravel his secrets brings them closer, Eliza unearths the grim destiny of the ailing king and realizes that she holds the sole key to his salvation–if only he would allow himself to be saved.

Will she make a dutiful return to her indifferent fiancé? Or will she choose the risk of a lifetime and indulge her forbidden attraction to a stubborn and lonely mythical king who refuses her help at every turn?

Excerpt: Infinite Bond: (slow burn mmmm paranormal romance) by L. Rose

Infinite Bond: (slow burn mmmm paranormal romance)

by L. Rose 

April 26, 2022

With three hearts to worry about, as well as my own, time will tell if I’m up for the task.

Infinite Bond, an all-new magical M/M/M/M paranormal romance from bestselling author L. Rose is available now!

With three hearts to worry about, as well as my own, time will tell if I’m up for the task.

I’ve always been normal. Okay, maybe more of an average guy, who’s quiet and awkward. Just someone who’s trying to survive living in my trailer while dodging my mom’s debt collectors.

Everything changes when a power within me surfaces, and my eyes are thrown wide open.

Humans aren’t the only ones who walk the earth.

Read that again, but slowly. I know. I can hardly believe it either.

There’s more. With my newfound power, I’m expected to attend a college to learn how to use my slightly terrifying and temperamental telekinetic ability, a power I apparently should have received when I was a kid, not at twenty-one.

Throw in my new roommates and my brain threatens to overload while my heart can’t figure out who or what it wants. All my traitorous heart is sure of is that it’s greedy and beats far too fast when any of the three not-completely-human men are around.

Not that my wanting will do me any good. There’s Cade who hates me, Zeke who’s super nice and understanding but way out of my league, and Hyde who’s as scary as he is quiet.

I have no idea if I’ll survive the changes, but I really want to. Just wait and see for yourself. As soon as you meet these guys, you’ll understand and see our undeniable connection. Just be warned, nothing but death will stop me protecting my hearts.

Excerpt
Reaching down, I picked up the bag and noticed the duffle on the floor, so I grabbed it as well. The weight of both had me stumble a little to the side. My face heated. Maybe it would be best to run for my room and hide in there until Sebastian pried me away for classes.

Groaning inwardly, I flicked my gaze to Zeke, who stood there with his arms crossed over his broad chest, smirking.

“Are you shy?”

My pulse raced, my stomach churned, and I wanted to… God, hide once again. “Yes.” I nodded. “And, um, awkward around meeting people.”

Why?

Why did I say that?

My blush deepened and I was close to throwing up.

“Got it. Look, I’m going to give it to you straight.”

Now I wanted to pee.

“Yes?”

“Cade is an asshole. Hyde is…. Well, he’s a dick sometimes too. Don’t let their attitudes get you down. You’ll get used to them.”

In other words, I would have to deal with more bullies. Great.

Grazing my bottom lip with my top teeth, I nodded. What else could I say to that? There wasn’t anything. What I wanted to do was curl into an emotional ball and rock back and forth over the daunting situation I was now in. My stomach rumbled and twisted. At least Zeke couldn’t see my shaky hands since I was holding both bags tightly.

“Hey” was said softly, but I still jolted at the closeness of his voice. My eyes snagged on his feet in front of me first before they traveled up his long legs to his chest. A shiver raked over me when Zeke cupped one side of my neck. “It’s not all bad here. Promise.”

I nodded again, not convinced my voice would work from the feel of his warm hand on my skin.

Why was I reacting to his close proximity? Why did my heart beat faster than it had in fright? Why did I have the urge to hug him?

It was crazy. No, beyond that. But I couldn’t get my mind to work to find the word I was looking for.

“Get some sleep. I’m sure you’re wrecked from the night.”

With another nod, which he chuckled at, Zeke pulled his hand away. I watched him through the curtain of my fringe as he walked to the kitchenette. Before I could make a fool of myself again, I raced to my door and turned the handle. I walked into the door when it didn’t open, smacking into it hard.

My face burned, the blush spreading down my neck when I heard a low chuckle. I gripped the handle and got the door open on my second attempt. I didn’t look back, even when I wanted to. Closing it, I dropped the bags to the floor. My back hit the door, and I slid to the ground, wrapping my arms around my knees and burying my forehead against them.

Dread filled me, thinking about what tomorrow would bring.

How was I going to live through everything without combusting into a nervous pile of goo?

Not for the first time, I wished I had a bigger pair of balls.

Book Review: In His Keeping (Slow Burn #2) by Maya Banks

In His Keeping (Slow Burn #2)

by Harper Collins

#1 bestselling author Maya Banks continues her suspenseful and steamy Slow Burn trilogy with this second book-a twisting tale featuring a strong yet vulnerable heroine in danger and the sexy alpha hero who must save her.

Abandoned as a baby to a young wealthy couple and raised in a world of privilege, Arial has no hint of her past or who she belonged to. Her only link lies in the one thing that sets her apart from everyone else—telekinetic powers. Protected by her adoptive parents and hidden from the public to keep her gift secret, Ari is raised in the lap of luxury, and isolation. That is, until someone begins threatening her life.

Beau Devereaux is no stranger to the strange. As the head of Deveraux Security, he’s more than familiar with the realities of physic powers. So when a family friend approaches him about protecting his daughter, he’s more than ready to jump on board. What Beau isn’t prepared for is the extent of his attraction to his beautiful and powerful client. What began as a simple assignment, just another job, quickly turns personal as Beau discovers he’ll do anything at all to protect Ari. Even if it costs him his life.

Have you ever just followed the rules all your life and the one time you don’t all hell breaks loose? That’s what happened to Ariel. All it took was one petrifying moment when her attacker was coming in for the kill, the final moment she saw it in his eyes. She had no choice but to unleash her physic powers. These powers have not been used since she was a little girl. Now that her powers have been revealed a whole new world has come to light. Nothing was what she thought she knew and now she is in trouble. She turns to Devereaux security for help, but can they help her.

Beau Devereaux got on more than he bargained for when he took on Ariel’s case. Not only has his work now been turned upside down and trust me he is used to crazy and strange. What he is not used to is his reaction to Ariel. He will do anything to protect her even if that means his heart and soul.

The story was action packed and heart felt all the way through. The love you felt between two people that you only read about in books, well you really do only read about it in books and this just nailed it. It was not just the love between Ariel and Beau, but the love between Ariel’s parents is what got me. I think they were my favorite.

Ariel had to go through some harsh realities about her parents and the world she thought she once knew. It was time to put on her big girl pants, she was so used to following the rules an relying on her parents that she was having some difficulty at first coping with what she had to do. Watch out though because when it came down to it she rose to the occasion and kicked some butt and it all came crashing down, literally.

This is a must read, I may have written more about the romance, trying not to give the story away but the action had me on the edge. What was going to happen next will they survive.

The only way to know is if you read it, I highly recommend it.

I live in Texas with my husband and three children and our assortment of pets. I’m more of a cat person, but my daughter became convinced she NEEDED a dog.

When I’m not writing, I love to hunt and fish with my family. We all love the outdoors and go on family hunting trips every year. We also love to travel.

Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of a writing career is getting to meet so many wonderful readers. There’s nothing better than dishing books with someone who loves the romance genre as much as I do. Romance readers are passionate and vocal. We love our books, love our happily ever afters, and we love to spend time talking to others about our favorites. THIS is why I love my job so much, and I’m so grateful to readers who gave ME a chance when I began my career. So thank you.

Book Review: Keep Me Safe (Slow Burn #1) by Maya Banks

Paperback, 256 pages

by William Morrow Paperbacks

A sizzling story of a woman who risks her life and her heart to find a wealthy man’s missing sister—the first novel in a sexy new romantic suspense series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks

When Caleb Devereaux's younger sister is kidnapped, this scion of a powerful and wealthy family turns to an unlikely source for help: a beautiful and sensitive woman with a gift for finding answers others cannot.

While Ramie can connect to victims and locate them by feeling their pain, her ability comes with a price. Every time she uses it, it costs her a piece of herself. Helping the infuriatingly attractive and impatient Caleb successfully find his sister nearly destroys her. Even though his sexual intensity draws her like a magnet, she needs to get as far away from him as she can.

Deeply remorseful for the pain he’s caused, Caleb is determined to make things right. But just when he thinks Ramie's vanished forever, she reappears. She’s in trouble and she needs his help. Now, Caleb will risk everything to protect her—including his heart.

Do you like romantic psychic mysteries with a lot of suspense? Wealthy Caleb Devereaux’s sister has been kidnapped. His only hope was a psychic woman named Ramie who can find missing victims. The problem is she did not to want to help him. Caleb, furious with her selfishness, did not care what she wanted. His sister was his #1 priority and he failed to protect her. He was not leaving until she helped him find her. Except he did not know what it would cost Ramie and now a part of him.

Ramie just wanted Caleb to go away, she could not do this anymore. Her abilities may help families get their loved ones back but each time it took something away from her. Now she’s in trouble and the only person she can turn to is Caleb.

Maya Banks certainly aimed to please her readers and give them a sense of thrill and suspense. Banks gave an eerie portrayal of a twisted killer's mind but worse she gave a chilling uncanny description of the victims. Caleb will never be able to forget what he saw happening to his sister through Ramie. Caleb was a very good man and his need to help Ramie was understood especially since he helped cause some of her anguish in more ways I can describe without giving it away. You may question their relationship but we all know you can’t help who you fall in love with, it just happens, it finds you not the other way around. Caleb was a wealthy man, women wanted him only for his money and status. Ramie just wanted someone to love her, something she never had or experienced whether it was a mother or a lover.

I want to warn you that page one caused a confusion on who was Caleb’s sister which made the beginning confusing. I had to go back and reread and then reread the back cover until I realized that a simple comma was in the wrong place. Ramie was his sister, Tori’s only hope. Ramie is not his sister Tori is. It should have read Ramie, was his sister Tori’s only hope. I am telling you this so you can avoid the confusion and just sink into a good story with a great twisted (yes I said twisted) ending.

The bottom line is what would you do to protect your love ones. If you answered anything, than I definitely recommend this book to you. If you are out there like Ramie without love ones then I ask you this, what would you do if you did? I think it is the same answer either way. Is that what Maya banks is trying to tell us, I certainly think so?
