Hola Chickies! Today we are psyched to host new author Rhenna Morgan on our measly little blog.
Hey,
everyone! And thanks to Nettie and Celie for hosting me today!
I have to
tell you, when I learned that the “Thick Chicks” were going to host me on my
release tour I was pretty stoked. There are just certain people in this world
that you know you’ll like/appreciate instantly by the things they hold near and
dear. One look at their “Our Favorite Books” page and I thought, “I’m gonna
like these women.” I mean, seriously. They’ve got all my favorite Kristen
Ashley books listed, so how could I not
like them? (Oh, wait. You’re missing Raid
and Deacon. Have you read those yet?)
As I’m
wont to do when people start talking favorites, I decided it might be fun to do
a, “I’ll show you mine since you showed me yours,” kind of post. In the spirit
of not getting too far out of control and raving for hours, we’ll call it:
The Top Five
Authors/Books I’d Add to The Thick Chick’s
Already Kick Ass Recommended Reads
Okay,
that’s a bit wordy, but I tend to get that way when I go fan-girl on killer
books…
Recommendation #5
Kresley
Cole – Either her Immortals After Dark books OR her smokin’ hot contemporary erotic
Game Maker series. The erotic series in particular is my favorite. I mean, I’ve
always respected her Immortals series, but I kid you not, my mouth hung open for
the vast majority of The Professional
(Book 1, Game Maker). Using the Thick Chick rating scale I’d call it Insane
and Sweltering.
We are totally all over the Immortals After Dark series but just haven't had a chance to review any since we started the blog. The Professional Series is on our "to read" list but based on this comment, I'm bumping them to the top!
Recommendation #4
Karen
Marie Moning – Anything in her Highlander series. They’re a mix of historical,
paranormal, and time travel all rolled up into one. And yes, I love the
Faefever series too, but for me the Highlander books are just old school, sexy
romance. The kind that got me hooked on the whole romance genre in the first
place.
Recommendation #3
Kit Rocha
– The Beyond Series. Ladies (and gentlemen if you’re brave enough to handle
it), brace yourself before reading. It’s a dystopian world and it’s deliciously
gritty. On the ratting scale I think it might make sweltering look tame. Definitely
not for the faint of heart. #Blushing** This is sooooo going to have to be on Celie's to read list. My heart is a bit faint and she gets a kick out of my p-word blush all the time! This will be going on her list for sure!
Recommendation #2
Joanna
Wylde – Reaper’s MC. If you liked Motorcycle Man from Kristen Ashley, you’ll
probably like this one too. The tone is a little grittier than Kristen’s, but
the heroes are men’s men who plow right into every challenge…particularly when
the challenge in question is the woman they want. Alas Celie and I have both confirmed that we are NOT old lady material and so these books just drive us insane. Celie says she's just too damn nosy not to be able to ask any questions and I for one can't handle the "club side action". I would have to cut somebody should I walk in the club and see a club skank on my man!
Recommendation #1
Darynda
Jones – Charley Davidson Series. I’ve read ‘em all except the most recent one,
and I love, love, love Reyes Farrow. If you like funny and steamy all in one
place, you’re gonna love Darynda’s series. Well-written, clever, unique, and
did I mention Reyes Farrow? OMG, Darynda is our girl for sure. We have read ALL of her Charley Davidson Series and have loved every minute of it. Totally need to update the list.
So, there
you go. I’ve shown you mine. Now show me yours in the comments below. I’m
always on the look out for great new reads as I’m sure Nettie and Celie are. The
best way to show love for an author is to get the word out on the stories you
enjoyed.
If you
have room on your TBR list and you’re into fantasy romance set in a
contemporary world, I hope you’ll give my debut release, Unexpected Eden, a try. It’s the first in a four book series set in
the one and only land of creation--Eden.
Well, most
of it’s there. Some of it’s here in our own backyard. J
I hope you
have a fantastic New Year and much happy reading. Hope to see you in paradise
soon!
Love,
Rhenna
About the Author:
Rhenna never thought a weird dream, a bucket list, and an addiction to romance novels would lead her into publishing, but that’s exactly how Unexpected Eden came to life. Okay, there might have been a jillion revisions in there somewhere, and a few points where her family thought she’d lost her ever-lovin’ mind, but pretty much everyone’s accepted that this author thing is chronic.
When she’s not working on the rest of the Eden books or her naughty contemporary romances, you’ll find her chasing two precious little girls, batting eyelashes at her indulgent husband, or driving with the top down and the music up loud. Oh, and “researching” on the internet. Those half-naked men she uses for inspiration don’t download themselves.
She’d love to share her “research” with you too and get to know you a little better in the process. Find her blog, Facebook, Pinterest, and other social media links at www.rhennamorgan.com. Be sure to sign up for her newsletter there too for snippets, upcoming releases, and author news.
If you enjoyed Unexpected Eden, Eryx and Lexi would sure appreciate it if you shared your review at Goodreads, Amazon, or other favorite online bookstore. Lexi would make you a mean cyber-cocktail in exchange if she didn’t have her hands full with Eryx, but rumor has it they haven’t left the royal suite in days.
Stalk Rhenna Morgan at the following places:
Title: Unexpected Eden
Series: Eden, Book 1
Author: Rhenna Morgan
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Rating: 4 Sweltering Keys
** Disclaimer: A copy of this book was provided to me by Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
Paradise, love, power…and a prophecy with a price.
Most
people believe Eden no longer exists. Lexi Merrill’s about to learn
they’re wrong. A hard-working bartender with a self-sufficient backbone
and a wary nature, she knows pickup lines like a second language. So,
when Eryx Shantos barges into her world with too-smooth words and a body
to back it up, she locks up her libido and vows to keep her distance.
Eryx
has other ideas. As king of the Myren race, Eryx is duty-bound to
enforce the laws preventing exposure of their existence to humans. Yet
The Fates have led him through his dreams to Lexi, a temptation he
doesn’t want to resist. The question--is she Myren, or human, which
makes her forbidden fruit?
When Eryx’s nemesis tags Lexi as his
next target, Eryx insists on taking her home where he can keep her safe.
Lexi had no idea “home” would mean the one-and-only land of creation…or
that she’d trigger a prophecy that could doom her newfound race.
