What a Viking wants, a Viking takes. 

When his younger brother goes missing, Dagr, Viking warrior and Lord of the Wolfskin Clan, will do whatever it takes to get him back. But nothing could have prepared him for Honora-a feisty, intelligent woman who is nothing like the women of his world-women who are content to serve their men in all things. Drawn to her despite her recalcitrant nature, Dagr is determined to show her who's boss both in bed and out. 

When the two enemies-turned-lovers join forces to find Dagr's brother they are thrown into a rousing adventure full of danger, intrigue and erotic abandon. Can their passion truly unite them or will their different worlds lead to destruction for them both?

~Interview/Book Promo/Giveaway~ Party Time with Tory Michaels

Today on our blog, I am pleased to announce Author Tory Michaels!! Her new book Blood Rage was just released On Feb. 8th from Evernight Publishing, with its sequel Blood-Mage Rising coming out in March!! She was also kind enough to give us an exclusive never-before-seen excerpt from Blood Rage! Did I mention she is also giving away some treats!!  

Thank you so much for being here with us!! With all authors we like to know a little background info :) can you tell us a little about yourself Tory!

I really wish I had something catchy to answer this with. I’m a book slut, with a taste for paranormal (duh) and regency romances (though depending how well they’re done, I like a lot of different eras for romance), with urban fantasy and high fantasy thrown in for balance. Not a huge fan of contemporary romance (unless it’s Harlequin Presents, mind you).

I live with my twin girls (10.5 months), 5 y/o boy, in-laws, and hubby. We have a husky, and it can be chaos around the house. In-laws are leaving in May.

Title: Slack Tide [YA]

Author: Vanessa Barger 

Blurb:

At a time when most girls are worried about prom dresses, Lorelei Stamper is worried about losing her skin—literally. Receiving a sealskin from her Aunt, her world is changed. Not only is she a selkie, but she holds the key to breaking a curse affecting all selkie.

Now, monsters are stalking her, forcing her to decide if she will end the curse before she even really understands what’s happening. When Declan, one of two bodyguards sent to protect her, wakes her sleeping heart, she must try to balance love, surviving her senior year, and deciding whether she wants to be human or not. No matter what she chooses, the fact remains that breaking the curse demands blood. Hers.

A strange grunting growl thrummed in his chest and he tugged me closer, wrapping his arms around me, resting his chin on my head. “Never going to happen.”
Never say never, Declan. Shoving the thought away, I let him comfort me. ~Pg.70

Why I love Sterling 'Harvard' Chase... Darker After Midnight Discussion [Warning: Major Spoilers]

So I wanted to wait a little while before posting this. I wanted to give everyone a chance to read Darker After midnight before I posted this Spoiler-ific post on all things Chase and the Breed!!

I honestly wasn't going to get this book until like Feb. 4 (which would have been torture) because I was soo busy and thats when I would have no more deadlines, I wanted time to enjoy every part of the story. I had been waiting for this book since I first read about Chase in BK #2!! 

Imagine my surprise when my mother tells me Tues. (24th) afternoon that she stopped by the store and got me something!! DARKER AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!.... 

Blog Tour Interview/Giveaway: Shrouded in Darkness by H.D. Thomson

Today I am so happy to announce and to be hosting this day for author H.D. Thomson's book blog tour for her novel Shrouded in Darkness! Thank you so much for doing the interview!

     

Tell us a little about yourself !

 I would love to! I’ve had a hodge-podge of jobs, from staff accountant to pizza delivery person to owning an online bookstore and heading a company that does book covers, e-book conversions and web sites. Between all of that I’ve never stopped writing. It’s one of the pleasures that I have never been able to give up. That and reading.

Shrouded in Darkness is the first in your Shrouded Series. Can you tell us a little about it?? 

It’s about Jake, a man in search of an antidote to an experiment that is killing him. He thinks the formula is hidden in Margot’s house, across the country and miles away from Boston. When he shows up at her door, neither of them know a killer is following close behind and is after that same formula..

How was the writing process? Are you a visual writer or do the characters 'speak' to you? 

I would say a character is speaking to me probably during two situations. One is when I’m doing something wrong and I’m not being true to who that character is. The other time is when I’ve put them in a predicament that they absolutely hate, which I guess if put it that way, they’re speaking to me a lot! 

What was your favorite scene to write? 

Almost every scene with Jake. I loved writing him. He’s just such a tormented soul, but at the same time I wanted to make sure he never gave up faith.
