My tease for today is from Jezebel by Gordon A. Kessler

My Tease

The dark animal bowed her head and licked her chops. With large dark eyes, she watched the arm extending out beside her.

She looked over to a well-chewed, red-rubber dog bone, glanced toward her water and food bowls in the kitchen and then looked at MacGreggor’s face. She whined softly, but then another low growl came involuntarily. Man enemy. Kill-kill-kill!

“Jazbo?”

~~~

I am creeped out!

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!

My tease for today is from Sparks: Anya Kalinczyk #2

by Laura Bickle

Sparks (Anya Kalinczyk, #2)

goodreads-badge-add-plus

Around her throat, something fluttered. Anya’s hand slipped up to the metal collar around her neck. A warm shape inside the metal shifted, peeled away from her skin. Delicate salamander toes unfurled and marched down her shoulder as the metal sizzled and released a living creature. Taking the shape of a hellbender, a fire elemental salamander leapt to the hearth, growling at the magick-soaked bottle in the grate. His tongue flickered into the black of the firebox, and he incandesced with an amber glow.

“Sparky,” she hissed.

Stitch (Stitch Trilogy #1)

….instead of the dark brown eyes she expected, she saw only blue.

Unfathomable, sparkling blue, glittering with facets of ocean and sky, boring deep into her soul and clutching at her heart.

Once again, a single word rose in the back of her throat – Isaac….

At the gates of Old Willow Cemetery, the twisted vines choke the bald ironworks, their thorny cords crisscrossed into images of wrinkled faces and hoodwinked eyes.

This is from the prologue. The book is bursting with atmosphere!

The ensuing sex was brief, passionate, and at times even a little rough. Michael didn’t care too much for the pleasure or enjoyment of his sexual partners. For him it was all about Michael and satiating his own desires. He did it his way and in his time.

Tonight he wanted a quick result as he had a more urgent hunger to feed.

Man, this one starts out hot and gets hotter!

She chose the latter.

“Wh–what’s the time?” I asked.

My mother checked her watch. “A few minutes before sundown.”

“It’s starting,” I said through gritted teeth.

My parents didn’t need telling twice. They left the basement so they didn’t have to witness the worst of my affliction.

My tease for today is from A.M. Hargroves newest release Kissing Fire.

Now available!

Releasing April 15th!

This scene is from when Avery is interrogated by the airport gestapo! I had to include most of it as I loved it.

“How can you explain this?” one asked as he held up the wrapped box.

“The present from Melissa?”

“Don’t be a smart ass with us Miss. What is your name?”

“Avery Middleton.”

“Miss Middleton. How can you explain this?”

“It’s a gift from Melissa.”

The FBI guy groaned and rubbed his head. The door opened again and another TSA agent came in with one of those big German Shepherd guard dogs. The dog came up to me and I reached out my hand to pet it. I thought it was a handsome looking dog and I’d always loved animals.

“Hi there fella,” I said.

The damn thing nearly took my hand off as it growled and snapped at me, while the agent pulled it back by its leash. I screamed at the top of my lungs and everyone jumped to their feet as the room broke out in chaos. I leaped up on the table fearing the beast was going to chow down on me for lunch, as it was now foaming at the mouth while his saliva was gushing out and pooling on the floor.

“Are you all trying to kill me or something?” I hollered.

“That’s a bomb sniffing dog! You’re not supposed to pet the damn thing. It’s trained to attack!”

“Well, it would’ve been nice if ya’ll had told me! Dern, it nearly ate my arm!”

“It did not!”

“Did too! What kind of place are ya’ll running here?”

Leave it to Anne to have me laughing at and loving Avery.

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!

My tease for today is from Broken Illusions by Ellie James

A Midnight Dragonfly Novel

Broken Illusions (Midnight Dragonfly, #2)

goodreads-badge-add-plus

A sexy, suspenseful paranormal thriller.

Here’s my tease.

“Love isn’t supposed to have conditions,” I said, staring at the dull haze of moonlight from behind the clouds. “Or rules. It’s not supposed to hurt.”

Chase stiffened. I felt it, even through the feather-light touch of his fingers.

 Love was something we didn’t talk about.

“How can it not hurt?” he asked quietly. “When someone else has that much control over you?”

I’m about two-thirds through with this one and it’s fun. I like books with a psychic element and this  has a lot of suspense and some light romance.

My tease for today is from Blue Hearts of Mars by Nicole Grotepas

I’m cheating a bit because I really loved this whole scene and couldn’t pick just a piece of it.

Blue Hearts of Mars

goodreads-badge-add-plus

With my eyes closed I could still see Hemingway and his perfect jaw line that swept up to his ear, his cheek bones molding the bends of his skin in all the right ways, the curve of his bottom lip when he smiled, his brown-gray close-cropped hair. And his laugh. I could hear it. His steel-blue eyes were looking at me in my mind, tap-tapping into my brain, his eyes alight with electric galaxies.

I stared into his eyes in my mind. Could I ever get close to him? I needed to. There was so much I didn’t know about him. What was it like when he slept? How did his body feel to hold? How did his hair smell? Did it have a fragrance the way a human’s would? I needed to know.

Oh man, I am so hooked on this book!

How about you? Got a tease? Tell me!
