“Fall to rise higher.”
 
This is the motto of the clan Kongeorn. In their world of harsh battles and harsher winters
our story begins.
 
Exordium is a historical fantasy novel that follows the story of Vita, who is thrust into a
position of power and forced to deal with the aftermath of a family tragedy–and an act of war. Along the way, she must confront her own demons and learn that everyone is fighting their own war, their own obstacles. She must learn how to overcome them, to rise higher than ever before. Exordium and its author, S. N. Jones, were awarded with the 2018 National Civic Expression Award
from the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition, funded by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers.
 
One woman.
One name.
One forgotten legacy.
 
Excerpt:
 
“The forest seemed still, as if no creature dared to
move or cry out in my presence. The trees remained static, their branches rigid
and frozen in the cool night air. In the stillness, a burden began to weigh
down upon me, cloaking me like the furs on my shoulders. It sobered me, taking
my attention away from the visions and cynical thoughts, and plopped me right
where I would stay. I could not hide from it, nor—I found—did I want to. My
duty to my people, to my name, bore down on me, and I refused to shake it.”

The Call of the Drums
The Twelve Days of Christmas #12
by Lynn Michaels
Genre: M/M Paranormal Romance
Print Length: 60 pages
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Publication Date: December 20, 2019
Christmas magic comes in strange packages when the
Battle of the Bands heats up.
Twelve Rock Bands were invited to participate in this year’s Battle of the
Bands. It’s being held at Cambria Bay, a resort town that brings in
tourism by having over the top events. Daryl Keeley, drummer for the
wild metal band, Lythium Madness, is excited not only for the
competition but for the opportunity to stay at one of the world’s
best vacation spots for the holiday. It’s Christmas, but there won’t
be any snow in tropical Cambria Bay, and that’s fine with Daryl,
since every other aspect of his life is too cold. No lover. A family
that disowned him for being a rock drummer rather than his sexuality.
His bandmates are his only real home.
During the competition
he meets Micah Bray, a bassist from another band, Jungle Lake Riot.
They’re not very good, but Micah pulls them up with his unusual
talent. He’s a quiet force to be reckoned with, and when he plays
with Daryl…sparks fly.
.
Lynn Michaels lives and writes in Tampa, Florida where the sun is hot and
the Sangria is cold. When she’s not writing she’s kayaking,
hanging with her husband, or reading by the pool. Lynn writes
Male/Male romance because she believes everyone deserves a happy
ending and the dynamics of male characters can be intriguing,
vulnerable, and exciting. She has both contemporary and paranormal
titles and has been writing since 2014. Her stories don’t follow
any set guidelines or ideas, but come from her heart and contain love
in many forms.

Bossy Bride: Emma and Jesse by J A Huss ~ Spotlight and Giveaway

Bossy Bride: Emma & Jesse

Bossy Brothers #4

by J.A. Huss

Publication date: December 18th 2019
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Romance

Synopsis

Bossy Bride features Jesse and Emma getting almost-hitched on a roller coaster, tricked into being the stars of a pirate show, jumping out of an airplane, and saying their vows in front of two huge Italian families who don’t speak English. It’s a rompy, whirlwind trip down a rabbit hole of “Fantasy” Vegas weddings planned by a man called “Fingers” and just when you think nothing else could go wrong—a mermaid descends from the ceiling. 

Jesse Boston is the man of my dreams. He’s super sexy, super rich, and super funny. He gets all my jokes, he treats me like a princess, and our love life is smokin’ hot.

So I’m gonna marry him. I’m not real picky about how that happens and if my mother wants to have her say, fine. That’s fine. She gave birth to three boys and just one girl. So I get it. She NEEDS a wedding.

But when she invites my childhood nemesis, KAREN, to plan our wedding AND be one of my bride’s maids? Uh—no. It’s not happening. Karen Krakken-Channing will not plan my wedding, will not be at my wedding, and she’s certainly not going to be IN my wedding.

Luckily, my jet-butler, Miles, and my almost-husband get this great idea!

We’re going to elope to Vegas on Christmas Eve eve, get hitched in the most ridiculous way possible, and then fly home in time for Christmas Eve dinner.

We’ve got it all figured out.

Nothing can go wrong.

We will have one simple wedding in like… a drive-through chapel, and call it good.

Take that, KAREN!

Publication Date: December 20, 2019
Prince Menion had never wanted for anything in his life minus Jacob Riker.
Jacob and his twin brother Lucas arrived at the Kingdom of
Miraennon every fall and always left before spring arrived. They
would bring with them tales of magical worlds and brought wonder to
his boring life. Then last year, Jacob Riker arrived alone and they
grew closer than Menion should have allowed. Menion was expected to
be married and be the next Lord of Miraennon by Christmas. None of
those plans involved Jacob Riker.
Being a time traveler, Jacob Riker had never expected to be so stuck on one
moment. After the months together, that had been Jacob’s own personal
Christmas miracle, Menion Astaulind standing in the snow breaking his
heart and proclaimed love for another.
Now, Jacob stands ready to jump through the portal one last time to win
over the only man he ever loved before Christmas comes again.

Renee is often in her own little world. There is nothing that she loves

Some chit chat.

It’s been crazy busy as usual and I’m ready for Christmas to get here. I did manage to read several books and squeeze in some holiday shows and movies. And a couple of naps too. LOL

My son and I planned on watching the first episode of Game Of Thrones Season 8. We ended up watching three and almost couldn’t stop then. Wow. What a crazy trip. I’m anxious to finish now and we’ll be binging the last three episodes on my next day off, which is Tuesday. I bet I turn right around and watch the entire season again too.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Kissing Strangers
The Twelve Days of Christmas #9
by D.S. Dehel
Genre: Paranormal Historical Romance
Print Length: 90 pages
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Publication Date: December 20, 2019 
 
A haunting Christmas tale.
Christmas of 1899, the world looks forward to new discoveries, new inventions,
and a new century. Wealthy heiress Viola Peery is looking forward to
a new life and a husband, preferably one with a title, since her
father has told her not to return from England without one.
A New Year’s weekend at Aescton Hall holds promise for Viola and
eight other ladies of wealth. There, ten eligible bachelors will vie
for their hearts and hands during dinners, skating parties, and—of
course—balls. Both the charming Cedric Stanhope and the dashing
Rhys Findlay catch Viola’s eye and pique her interest, and through
flirty tea parties and nightly waltzes, she mulls her decision.
But one of the men holds a secret that will change her destiny and haunt
her for the rest of her life.
D.S. Dehel is a lover
of photography, good food, and the Oxford comma. When she is not
immersed in a book, she is mom to her kids and spoiling her rather
pampered feline, Mr. Darcy. She can also be found at the gym training
for her next Spartan race and generally avoiding all adult
responsibility. She adores literary allusions, writing sex scenes,
and British television. Her devoted husband is still convinced she
writes children’s books. Please don’t enlighten him.

Bells and Whistles
The Twelve Days of Christmas #8
by Liza Kay
Genre: M/M Contemporary Romance
Print Length: 68 Pages
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Publication Date: December 13, 2019 
 
Two men, a smart little girl, and a pet cow…
Ballet dancer Jamie has never fit in with his loud and brash blue-collar
family. They grudgingly accepted him being gay, but when Jamie’s
father finds him wearing one of his sister’s dresses, Jamie ends on
his best friend’s sofa. An ad for a female live-in nanny position
in rural Kansas seems like a Christmas gift from above and a solution
to his homelessness. Never mind that Jamie knows nothing about farm
life. Or cows. Or kids. At least he knows how to rock a dress.
 Ben Franklin—yes, his parents are crazy like that—is a dairy farmer
in desperate need of female assistance. At least that were his
mother’s last words before she left for Florida with her new
husband. All Ben knows is raising cattle. Now he’s tasked with
raising his niece Charlie as well. The last thing Ben expected when
he placed an ad for a nanny was to develop confusing feelings for the
beautiful Janie.
 With a little Christmas magic, the help
of a pet cow, and a mischievous little girl, two men might find the
true meaning of home, family, and love.
 
 
Liza grew up in a tiny village in Germany, the kind where you know
everybody and everybody knows you. She migrated to a bigger town to
attend college, although her parents often wonder if she really moved
out. Now, with a degree in her pocket, she’s perfectly capable of
working as a librarian. Never one to do what’s expected of her, Liza
currently browses different branches of employment.
She started writing in college when she found herself unable to ignore
the guys living in her head any longer. And to distract herself from
the stifling, non-fiction stuff taught in class. Liza is really fond
of the dudes whispering in her mind—no matter if handsome or
flawed, big or small, sulky or easy-going. They all deserve love and
their HEAs.
When she’s not writing, you can find her curled up with a good book and a
cup of tea, a cat in her lap, or a camera at the ready.

Christmas Swan
The Twelve Days of Christmas #7
by Catherine Lievens
Genre: M/M Paranormal Romance
Print Length: 67 pages
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Publication Date: December 13, 2019 
 
Naked and unconscious probably isn’t the best way to meet your mate for
the first time.
Curtis didn’t expect to meet his mate while he was face-first and naked in
the snow. He supposed he hadn’t exactly met Manuel that way since
he’d been unconscious, but that was probably not the best first
impression.
Manuel wasn’t sure what to do with the naked, gorgeous man, but he took
him home—and Curtis ran away.
But now small gifts have started appearing on Manuel’s doorstep, and he
knows they’re from Curtis. With Christmas looming so close and
Manuel’s mood being so dark because of his mother’s recent death,
he’s not sure what to do about it—or about Curtis. Curtis seems
to be intent on gently pushing his way into Manuel’s life, though,
and Manuel doesn’t exactly mind.
 
 
 
Catherine is the creator of several series, most of them paranormal, including
the Whitedell Pride Series and the Gillham Pack Series. While she
graduated in translation, she decided to go the writer’s way
because it was more fun to create her own stories and characters.
She’s been living in Italy for more than twenty years, but she’s a
daughter of the North—Belgium to be precise—and she misses it so
much that she’s already planning to move back.
She loves pizza—probably too much —her pets, and of course, books.
She sneaks some reading time in her schedule every time she has five
minutes free from writing, demands from her various pets and son, and
lastly, housework.

Secret Admirer’s Christmas Wish #2
by Dariel Raye
Publication date: November 10th 2019
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis

When a former ugly duckling and the former class heart-throb come together as adults, they find out they have more in common than they realized.

Glenda Shaw knows firsthand what it’s like to be an ugly duckling, and now, she is roped into helping to organize her tenth-year class reunion. The speaker this year is none other than Hunter Teegs, the object of her dreams since their sophomore year in high school. She’s a dedicated social worker with a heart the size of Texas, but her hectic schedule doesn’t allow much time for dating or entertainment.

Hunter Teegs is a self-made financial powerhouse with a boatload of charisma and a winning sense of humor. He’s also a notorious womanizer and heartbreaker. He has no interest in settling down any time soon, if ever. To make matters worse, he has recently noticed details from his childhood that cause him to question everyone and everything he’s come to believe.

When Glenda and Hunter are brought together again, fireworks nearly knock both of them off their feet, and not necessarily in a good way. Glenda knows more than one secret about Hunter, and sharing the most crucial one could mean the end of their relationship before it even gets started.
