Goodreads Synopsis:
The moment the demon King Thorne of the Third Realm set eyes on the mortal huntress Sable, he knew she was his fated one. The fiery, dangerous female awakened hungers he had never experienced before, a dark craving and passion that has consumed him in their time apart. As the lunar cycle wanes, she enters his world again and nothing will stand in the way of him claiming his forever with her—not the relentless assault from the Fifth Realm or the dark elf male determined to seduce her out of his grasp.

Intent on achieving the coveted position of commander at Archangel, Sable leads her small team into the dark underworld and the Third Realm, to a war where her allies are the very creatures she normally hunts—vampires, werewolves, and demons. Her eagerness to lead the deadly mission has everything to do with winning her promotion, and nothing to do with the kingdom’s brash, lethally seductive demon king—a king who stirred fierce desire and wildfire heat in her with just a look and an innocent touch when they first met, and has been in her wicked dreams ever since.

As the gathering storm between rivals unleashes irresistible passion that flares white-hot and the heat of the battle brings life-shattering realisations, can Sable place her duty before her heart? Or will she surrender to her deepest desires and be claimed by a demon king?

Goodreads Synopsis:

WARRIOR OF HEAVEN

Reaver is an angel with a past, a record, and a less-than-heavenly attitude. Powerful enough to fight alongside the fiercest battle angels-and crazy enough to risk his wings on a one-way mission to hell-he's agreed to go where no angel has ever gone before...to steal the most seductive and dangerous prize of Satan himself.

ANGEL OF HELL

Harvester is one of the Fallen, a once-heroic angel who sacrificed her wings to work as an undercover agent in hell. But now her cover has been blown, and she's been doomed to an eternity of agonizing torture. Even if Reaver can snatch her away from Satan's lair, even if they can fight their way out of the underworld's darkest depths, there is one thing Harvester can never escape-her newfound thirst for an angel's blood...

Bench Talk Discussion: Voice Activated Turn Page Options for E-Readers Should Be Mandatory!!!!

Voice Activated Turn Page Options for 

E-Readers  Should Be Mandatory!!!! 

Hola Chickies!  Have you ever been reading from your favorite e-reader and find yourself in just the right spot with your arms all tucked snuggie in your blanket and then have to shift just to tap the page?  I have and it is so FRUSTRATING!!!!  With technology being as advanced as it is today, with options available to tell our phones to schedule an appointment I just don't understand why I can't say turn page!

Our topic of discussion for this week is one that has been on my soapbox for quite some time!  Celie and my hubby frequently judge my desire to have this option but on a day like today, it is necessary.  It's cold and snowing outside and I am all set to snuggle up with my favorite book, but I don't want to have to continue to take my hand from under my warm cover to tap the DAMN page!  Even more, we have a entire community of individuals with handicaps that do not allow them use of their hands.  This option would work wonders for allowing them to enjoy books.

If you agree and would like to see the major developers like Apple, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble create this option, sign our Petition!

Eternal Flame Virtual Tour and Giveaway with Valerie Twombly

Hola Chickies!  Today we are pleased to welcome a new author to our blog, Valerie Twombly. 
 
About the Author:
As a child, Valerie would often get into trouble for peeking at her mother’s favorite TV show, Dark Shadows. She can still hear her mother saying “It will give you nightmares.” She was right of course, but that did not stop Valerie from watching. As an adult, her love of the fanged creatures never waned. She would watch any vampire movie she could find.

Being a true romantic, Valerie was thrilled when she discovered the genre of paranormal romance. Her first read was one of Lara Adrian’s, Midnight Breed Series and from there she was hooked.

Today, Valerie has decided to take her darker, sensual side and put it to paper. When she is not busy creating a world full of steamy, hot men and strong, seductive women, she juggles her time between a full-time job, hubby and her two German shepherd dogs, in Northern IL.

For more information about Valerie, or to connect, check her out in the following places:

SINsual Sunday!

 

Ohh la la!  Our SINsual Sunday quote is from one of the books we're reading for a blog tour we're hosting next week.  This one is from Her Dakota Man by Lisa Mondello.

And when Logan finally entered her with a hard thrust, Poppy cried out in pure delight.  He filled her completely in every way, making her whole after what seemed a lifetime of being empty.  With each thrust of his hips he took her higher, ever higher until Poppy thought she would self-combust.  And then she did as her orgasm ripped through her, leaving her fighting to breathe.  Seconds later, Logan held her tighter, and breathing faster, he joined her in bliss. ~ Logan and Poppy in Her Dakota Man by Lisa Mondello

 Sweet Jesus that was HOT!  Check back on February 12th to see Celie's full review of the first 3 books in the series!
