Book Blitz & Giveaway: Eternally Owned [Midnight Playground 01] by Eden Bradley!


Excerpt!

   He watched her walk into the club, all defiant bravado, but he could smell the sharp scent of fear beneath. The new ones were always a little scared, but this little one had only an edge of it. Maybe the bravado wasn’t all defiance.
   Hex had been just like that when he’d entered the club in Paris ten years ago, when he’d met Aleron. He’d been so damned ready. He hadn’t regretted a moment of his decision. What could there possibly be to regret? Aleron was perfection.
   He turned his attention back to the new girl. Sleek, long, dark hair like a curtain around her slender shoulders and nearly to her tiny waist. A tight little body with breasts perhaps just a bit too full for her small frame. Lovely. One of those pouting doll mouths that made the need to kiss her almost perverse—a sweet baby-mouth, pink and full. She would look innocent if it weren’t for her eyes. They were green, tilted at the corners. Feline. Fierce.
   Pulling in a deep breath, he took in her fragrance from across the room, separating out the perfumes and sweat of the others, the alcohol, the cigarette smoke, the hash smoke. Yes, there she was, like honey, as sweet and innocent as her face, except that there was a dark musk underneath it that spoke very clearly of sex, of desire. Oh yes, this one wanted to be here, to be among the vampires. Wanted the bite of their razor sharp teeth, and everything else that went with it.
   Have to show her to Aleron. Have to have this one.
   She glanced up, and for one moment her gaze caught his. He kept her there for a long moment, until she stumbled, and he let her go. There would be time later, once Aleron arrived. Aleron would help him bring the girl to him. To them.
   His groin tightened.
   They’d taken many women together, he and Aleron, in the years since Aleron had Turned him in the club in Paris. They’d come to London together only last year, wanting a change of scene. They both loved the British girls—there was a certain hardness about them the French women seemed to lack. And the British boys were beautiful and tough and smart, which was some sort of odd thrill for them both. But the boys were almost too easy. He and Aleron fulfilled each other’s need for men anyway. It was the girls Hex wanted, that Aleron craved. Yes, they would bring the girl to them. Together. He could hardly wait.

For centuries, my maker and I have indulged our appetites together, seeking out partners willing to satisfy our… unique needs.

But from the first time we strip sweet Nissa down to her bare flesh and feast, I know she will be different. I live for the taste of her blood on my lips, the feel of her body writhing beneath me.

For the first time since I was turned, I want a human for my own. Mine to taste, to tease, to take as often and as brutally as I wish.

Mine to keep… for eternity.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Taking [Forbidden Obsession 02] by Lynn Burke!


Excerpt!

   Addilyn and the asshole eventually exited, moving across the parking lot together. My stare burned on the back of her head. She stumbled and nearly fell—until the blond fucker touched her.
   Fucking touched what didn’t belong to him.
   Jaw clenched and hands fisting, I roused my self-control to hold still, allowing him to help her right herself, all the while cursing his existence, his smile.
   They moved forward once more, and I shifted with the deep darkness of the night, determined to get closer. To stop the fucker from putting his hands on her if he tried.
   He bumped her arm a second time, blatantly flirting, and I growled, fingertips itching to rip his face to fucking shreds.
   The thought he might kiss her goodnight—or even worse, follow her home to her place, raised my goddamn hackles, and I shivered with the need to unleash some violence. The hunting knife strapped to my waist suddenly felt heavier, the blade seeming to whisper as I slid it out into my palm. One slash would spill blood and keep whoever the fucker was from touching her ever again.
   From behind a truck, I gritted my teeth and watched them approach her car.
   Waited, every cell in my body vibrating.
   She went to open her car door, and he reached out for her arm, halting her.
   I took a step forward, the handle of the knife in my hand in a blink.
   A few mumbled words—and he turned back the way they’d come, sending me sliding into the shadow of the truck.
   Addilyn peered after him for a few seconds before climbing inside her car.
   I stayed put and pressed against the truck, contemplating the blade in my hand and the clueless fuck seconds from passing me by.
   Twinkie had taught me how to wield a knife and where to best stab to end a life.
   And I considered it. Fuck, did I think on it.
   Saw it in my mind… A quick grab, a single slash across the fucker’s throat. The spray of blood reddening the snow and slush at my feet. Soothing my rage’s need to unleash.
   But he could easily shout before steel met flesh.
   And the other people exiting the pizzeria behind me would see.
   Five years in prison had been more than enough, and I couldn’t afford to land there again without finishing what I had planned.
   Pulling back tight against the truck, I held still. Didn’t breathe.
   And the clueless fuck waltzed right on past, not realizing fate had given him a generous second chance at life.

Hot as a California summer and off limits.
Too young.
A rich, snobby princess, but I couldn’t help crave her innocence as much as the next man.
No matter how much her feigned hatred stirred up obsessive want inside me, I found myself protecting her from the real predator.
Betrayed by Addilyn and my father, I ended up in jail for assault.
But I’m a free man now, and I have what I need to get my revenge.
I’ll destroy the man who uprooted my life.
Make Addilyn pay for her part in ruining me.
My obsession has not waned in five years, so to hell with wanting.
This time, I’m taking.

I wasn’t looking for love.

Falling for someone would dishonor the memory of my late husband.

But wouldn’t you know it.

Love found me anyway—in the form of a NHL player who was celebrating Christmas in Holiday Peak.

Brody Tucker’s reputation preceded him.

But he brought me back to life again—made me realize I was only going through the motions.

Now one question remains.

Can I move forward with him, find happiness again with a guy who seemed to know my deepest thoughts, my private secrets even though I had no idea how?

I was ready to make the leap, take a chance on love, until I discovered the Sweet Talker was playing an off ice game I knew nothing about.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Timeless [A Less Than Zero Rockstar Romance 04] by Kaylene Winter!


Excerpt!

   “Zane!” I pull away before turning around and shoving him. “You scared me. Where were you? You’re so mean.”
   “I’m not mean.” He holds up a single yellow daffodil. “I saw this and wanted to pick it for you.”
   My heart melts into a puddle. I love this boy. Zane always does sweet things for me. I immediately forgive him.
   I always do.
   “Thank you. It’s so pretty.” I take it and peer into Zane’s dark-brown eyes. His curly black hair hits his shoulders. His crooked smile makes me feel squishy inside.
   He’s my other half.
   Our moms say so anyway. And it feels true. Zane was born just a couple of months after me so we’re practically the same age. Our parents are best friends so we have spent nearly every day together since we were babies.
   I can’t live without him. When we’re apart, it feels like something is missing. I throw my arms around him. “I was really scared that you got lost.”
   Zane squeezes me back super tight. “Fee, don’t be scared. I was just over by the flower bed. Don’t worry. I’ll never, ever leave you.”
   We press our heads together and rub. Head snuggles. That’s what we call it.

I vowed nothing would keep us apart…

Fiona Reynolds is my other half.
It’s been that way from the day I was born.
I’ve dedicated my life to keep my promise.
Fate just laughs in our face.
She’s always out of reach, this time for good.
I’ll do anything to prove she’s my destiny.
If only she’d trust me one more time.

After what I’ve done, how can I deserve him?
Zane Rocks is my everything.
There’s no one I love or trust more than him.
It wasn’t his fault when he left me.
I always knew he’d find his way back.
Fear overwhelmed me, and I broke his heart.
Will most celebrated musician on the planet.
Really give me another chance?

When a rash decision changes their lives forever, hope for their future is all but shattered.
Stakes are high.
But Zane’s determined to prove a love this pure is timeless.

Release Blitz & Giveaway: Melvin [Chaos Chasers MC 06] by C.M. Marin!


MELVIN

Almost a year.
That’s how long I’ve been waiting. Waiting for whatever it is that’s drawing me to the gorgeous young woman that Chloe has become to fade away. Some of my brothers would probably say that I’m pining over her bright emerald eyes. And maybe they would be onto something. Maybe I’ve been pining for her to notice me. Maybe I don’t want the deep-rooted need simmering in me to fade away even slightly.
No, there’s no maybe. What there is, though, is an off-limits neon sign attached to her.
Until now, her age helped me stay away, even though I’m not even four years older than her. But she’s eighteen now, and there’s only one reason left for me to keep my hands to myself. I respect her dad too much to touch his daughter.
But I’m only human, and goodwill can only get you so far.

CHLOE

I can see him watching me. Every time we’re around each other, his dark yet gentle gaze finds me. And then he tries his best to ignore me. Every time. It’s either that or my heart is toying with my common sense.
I’ve had a crush on Melvin since he rushed to my rescue three years ago, saving my sanity for sure, and maybe also my life.
But I’m not fifteen anymore, and my crush is morphing into something more. If only the fear of rejection wasn’t too strong to overcome. A more experienced woman might have been able to figure him out, but at eighteen, I’m just as inexperienced as I was three years ago. Yeah, quite pathetic.
There’s one thing I know. His body and face have been made for sin. Wide shoulders, broad chest, insanely chiseled abs, and messy dark hair that seems to call for my hands. And those full lips…
I might be a virgin, but my entire being knows what it wants when it comes to this glorious man. I just wish I was brave enough to do something about it.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Claimed by the Moon [Royal Shifters 06] by L.P. Dover!


Excerpt!

   The door to the cabin opens, and Amelie steps out with her caramel-colored hair in a ponytail and dressed in a tank top and yoga pants. It’s fifteen degrees outside, but the cold doesn’t bother us. The smell of snow approaches, and I can tell it’s going to come down hard within the hour. Looking up at the sky, it’s dark, and the clouds are thick.
    Amelie plugs in the Christmas lights on her porch and looks up at them when she gets into the yard. I’ve never seen someone so fascinated with the holidays. But she’d be appalled if she could see my house at Christmas time. I’ve never cared about decorating or celebrating, at least not in the last thirty years after losing Alina. Something tells me I might have to change that. If this is going to work between us, I’ll have no choice but to see things differently. The only problem is that I have no idea how to do that.
   Amelie runs through the woods in human form, and I follow behind her, making sure to keep my presence hidden. I’m not ready for her to know I’m there yet. The lake is a few miles into the woods, and her movements are smooth and concise as she swerves in and out of the trees. The only other people I’ve seen move like that are my brothers. She had to have learned it from Micah. I’ve envied him for being so close to her. It’s even made me a little jealous, but I know he’s never tried anything with her. When he comes back to town, things might be a little different. I’m hoping Amelie will let me train her instead of him.
   The lake comes into view, and I slow my pace. Amelie stops by the water and blows out a breath, watching the steam billow into the wind. She raises her arms in the air and stretches, exposing her bare stomach as her shirt lifts up. The need in me rises, and I close my eyes. All I can think about is taking her in my arms and making her mine.
   “Fuck,” I hiss under my breath. My cock hardens at the thought of her naked and spread out beneath me. Stepping behind the tree, I lean against it to regain my composure. I’m always in control, but around Amelie, I’ve lost all sense of it. Taking a deep breath, I let it out slow until everything goes back to normal. When it does, I unleash my power so Amelie can sense me.

In his 200 years of life, Zayne Lyall has made his share of enemies. The most ruthless of all being Knox Channon, who seeks vengeance for a pack war that took place over a hundred years ago.

To gain information he can use to bring Zayne down, Knox reconnects with Amelie Graye, a past love who joined the Royal pack Zayne belongs to. Unfortunately, Amelie doesn’t know much about the royal arctic… despite a longing within her to be near him.

Amelie and Knox have a tumultuous past that ended after she and her family went rogue following an attack by the Sierra pack. While she has no details to offer about Zayne, Knox sniffing around her leaves his inner wolf snarling.

More than anything Zayne wants to charge in and protect the woman his heart aches for. But he has a secret… and it could cost him everything. Amelie is his fated mate. If Knox were to discover this, he would know hurting her would be the key to destroying Zayne. Torn between his desire to claim Amelie as his own and his ferocious passion to protect her, can Zayne find a way to bring down his malicious enemy? Or will an age old vendetta rob him of a blissful future with his bonded mate?
