Blurb: A lord in danger. A magician in turmoil. A snowball in hell.

Exiled to China for twenty years, Lucien Vaudrey never planned to return to England. But with the mysterious deaths of his father and brother, it seems the new Lord Crane has inherited an earldom. He’s also inherited his family’s enemies. He needs magical assistance, fast. He doesn’t expect it to turn up angry.

Magician Stephen Day has good reason to hate Crane’s family. Unfortunately, it’s his job to deal with supernatural threats. Besides, the earl is unlike any aristocrat he’s ever met, with the tattoos, the attitude…and the way Crane seems determined to get him into bed. That’s definitely unusual.

Soon Stephen is falling hard for the worst possible man, at the worst possible time. But Crane’s dangerous appeal isn’t the only thing rendering Stephen powerless. Evil pervades the house, a web of plots is closing round Crane, and if Stephen can’t find a way through it—they’re both going to die.

Blurb: In the second installment of the Glen & Tyler series, the guys find out what happens when you inherit a Scottish castle, tussle with international crime gangs and host formal balls. Yes, balls — with dancing and everything!

In typical Hardy Boys–er, Glen & Tyler fashion, there are secret passages, irascible old men, caves, missing treasure, fine liquor and kilts. Ok, the kilts thing is new — but believe me, you’ll like ‘em. Although there isn’t much hockey this time around, there is shinty*. There’s also some romantic anniversary thing, but really, stay for the shinty.

Blurb: For five centuries, a witch’s curse has bound the trolls to their city beneath the ruins of Forsaken Mountain. Time enough for their dark and nefarious magic to fade from human memory and into myth. But a prophesy has been spoken of a union with the power to set the trolls free, and when Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and taken beneath the mountain, she learns there is far more to the myth of the trolls than she could have imagined.

Cécile has only one thing on her mind after she is brought to Trollus: escape. Only the trolls are clever, fast, and inhumanly strong. She will have to bide her time, wait for the perfect opportunity.

But something unexpected happens while she’s waiting – she begins to fall for the enigmatic troll prince to whom she has been bonded and married. She begins to make friends. And she begins to see that she may be the only hope for the half-bloods – part troll, part human creatures who are slaves to the full-blooded trolls. There is a rebellion brewing. And her prince, Tristan, the future king, is its secret leader.

As Cécile becomes involved in the intricate political games of Trollus, she becomes more than a farmer’s daughter. She becomes a princess, the hope of a people, and a witch with magic powerful enough to change Trollus forever.

Gingertastic – One Reader’s Obsession (NSFW-ish)

Posted on January 3, 2014 by Nikyta

For anyone that really knows me, knows that I have a ginormous slight obsession with what you may call a ginger. You know who I’m talking about right? Red haired, pale skinned guys (although I do like them tanned too!) with so many freckles you lose count after ten. Hell, I like them so much I even created a shelf on Goodreads just so I could go back and get my ginger fix in books whenever I wanted.

There are a lot of different kinds of gingers, though. Generally speaking, a lot of people consider anyone with red hair (no matter if it’s dyed) a ginger. IMO, that’s not necessarily the case because I like having the full, natural effect but I won’t discriminate 😛

Granted, not all ‘gingers’ are hot to me but a majority of the time they are. Why, you ask? Well, why do some of us like buff guys and others like skinny ones? Or why do some people like toned women and others like some meat on their bones? Just a taste, I suppose, but when I’m reading about a ‘ginger’ I get all giddy. I just love them in my stories. In fact, Kyle Adams knew this and whether he admits it or not, I’m gonna believe he wrote Dirty Vlogger’s Elliot just for me. (Hehe)

I mean look at these guys and tell me you don’t at least see some appeal to them! Continue reading →
