Taken by the Beast is a steamy, suspenseful spin on the age old tale of Beauty and the Beast. 

It follows former plus sized supermodel Charisse as she travels back to her hometown and finds that it isn’t quite the place she remembers. 

What was once an idyllic safe space has now turned into something darker and much more dangerous.

But with darkness, comes desire…

When she meets mysterious alpha male Abram, he unleashes a passion inside of Charisse that she never knew she had. But she isn’t the only one with something to unleash. Abram has a secret as well. There’s a beast living inside of him that will take Charisse as his own or tear her apart trying. 

Don’t miss this sexy, scintillating take on a tale as old as time. 

TAKEN BY THE BEAST.

With curves and sass to spare, Ashley Graham makes the perfect Charisse.

[Insert Picture Here]

And with a sex appeal that could only be described as monstrous, Joe Manganiello simply sizzles as the beastly Abram.

Now try to keep cool as you sink your teeth into this mouthwatering morsel of TAKEN BY THE BEAST!

Book Excerpt for Taken By The Beast

by Kressley & Hamilton

I reared back to slap him with my other hand, but he grabbed my wrist. Now both my hands were captive, and in that instant, we were nearly nose-to-nose, breathing in the same air—a musky air that had been permeated by his scent. 

“Let go,” I said, hating the way both my breathing and voice had shifted. 

His gaze bore into mine, as though he could see something deep inside of me, something I couldn’t even see myself. Or, rather, something I didn’t want to admit. Something that went against everything I believed and all of who I thought I was.

“Is that what you want, Ms. Bellamy?” His lips parted. “For me to let go?”

The breath caught in my throat. He inched a fraction closer, closing that last bit of space between us so that his chest pressed against mine. Suddenly, and against my volition, my nipples hardened. My heart jackhammered against my ribcage, and a flush crept up my body, warming every part of me. 

Abram tipped his forehead down so that it rested against my own. “Is that what you want?”

The temperature of the room shifted. The sensation of his hands pinning mine sent sparks through my body. He pushed against me, and the evidence of his arousal stiffened against my thigh. 

I opened my mouth, ready to push him away, to tell him that yes, I wanted him to let me go. But the words did not come. Instead, only a whimper escaped my lips. 

“Not good enough,” he said. 

He dipped his head, his lips brushing warm and rough against my neck, and my knees wobbled so abruptly that I wasn’t sure I could keep myself upright if not for his grip on me. Another damned whimper trickled from my mouth.

“Not near good enough.” His breath was hot against the side of my neck. “See, Miss Bellamy, I’m not sure you want me to let go. I think you want me to take care of you. But if you want that—if you want me to really take care of you—then you have to say it.”

Release Day Blitz: City In Embers by Stacey Marie Brown

Alright guys, I've got an exciting book that I wanted to share with you today, it's a paranormal New Adult romance novel, that looks like it's going to be pretty amazing and kind of hot! 

Gah! Look at that cover?! It's gorgeous and smoldering, isn't it? Definitely an eye catcher for me and totally part of the reason I'm not excited to read this book. Plus, it looks like it's got a kickass tough as nails heroine, and there's nothing better than that.

Also, it's not another contemporary romance, either. Score! (Not that there's anything wrong with them, but I'm just glad to see NA branching out a little bit more.)

Zoey Daniels has been tossed from foster home to foster home, where she grows up fast and tough. When she is placed in her “last-chance” home, she finds a reason to stay and turn her life around: her foster sister, Lexie, who is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Zoey will do anything to keep her safe.

After high school, Zoey is hired by a special government agency, the Department of Molecular Genetics (DMG), where she meets the other reason to remain: Daniel, her co-worker. The man she loves.

But there is something unique about Zoey. She can see fae. Because of this, the DMG hires her to work as a Collector: catching, researching, testing, and using the fae to save human lives. The work never registers on her sympathy radar. She was raised to think of fae as beasts that feed on humans and want to destroy them.

When devastation hits Seattle, Zoey's whole world is turned upside down. The electric storm connects her to a ruthless fae, a Wanderer named Ryker, whose dealings expose them to even more trouble and danger. They embark on a journey, running and hiding from both the government and fae, both of which threaten their lives and those they love.

I am excited to be sharing Unremembered Things the first book in the Wood Nymph Chronicles #1 by Rachel Tsoumbakos with you today. When she first contacted me asking if I would be interested in participating in a book blitz featuring a giveaway for this book, I wasn't sure if I would be able to until I took a minute to read through the synopsis and I got a little excited.

So, I wanted to share it with you guys, because it's definitely piqued my interest.

One woman, two worlds and nothing but UNREMEMBERED THINGS separating them.

Indiana Shamira has a dark secret that could shatter her version of reality and get her killed in the process. Now if only she could remember what it is…

When Indiana wakes with no memory of her past life and a vampire called Sam hanging from the rafters in her cellar, she knows things are about to get nasty. Not only does Sam know all about her previous life, but he seems intent on seducing her as well. Of course her boyfriend, Kurt, has different ideas – like making her open the portal to hell!

And then there is the nagging suspicion that Indiana is not entirely human, now she can see ghostly images from the Otherworld. Or could it be from the life she can no longer remember? They include the flickering effigy of Kurt and a redwood forest that conjures up deeply repressed magic.

Not only will Indiana have to risk everything to keep the door to another dimension closed, she will have to decide whether she is ready to lose her heart to someone who has more secrets than herself.

Set in the lush Australian bush, UNREMEMBERED THINGS is a fusion of fantasy, paranormal and forbidden romance.

Excerpt

“It is time.” Her voice purred like a kitten, but Indiana suspected she was really a feral animal on the inside.

“For what?” Her voice was raspy, hesitant and unsure if she really wanted to know the answer. Somewhere, deep inside, she suspected she already knew.

“Just remember I’m doing this for us,” Sam whispered into her ear. “So we can be together forever.”

Before Indiana could question him further, she felt a flurry of hands over her body. Indiana tried to open her eyes, but a warm hand reached up and carefully covered them.

Indiana was bitten – hard, and she groaned in pleasure. Shocked by her unexpected display, she clutched her hands outwards. Feeling the writhe of skin on skin, she tried to pull herself free. The tickle of fingers across her neck and down her spine calmed her with their warm familiarity.

“It’s okay, Indiana.”

The feathery words danced across her skin, warm like a summer breeze. She stilled and let Sam’s fingers intertwine with her own, relieved by his simple touch.

Time seemed to move forward and Indiana was presented with brief snippets of fleeting images; Camilla biting Sam, biting her. Indiana enjoying the pain of Camilla’s sharp teeth as they gnashed at her neck, her thighs and her wrist. The flurry of skin and hands and teeth as they writhed together in the height of passion. Pale hands slithered over her own luminescent skin, then Sam’s darker skin brushed against her own, warming her and protecting her but against what she was unsure.

Then Camilla poised over Sam, a knife in her hand. A flash of blood as it splayed out from a gaping neck wound. Indiana’s involuntary gasp and then choking sob at the sight of the cavernous hole. Hungry sucking as Camilla drank her fill. A warm hand, its fingers still laced through hers, slowing turning ice cold.

Excerpt from BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN – “Initial Glimpse”:

The hottie sat down and reclined, stretching out his arms on the back of the bench. He crossed his legs in the dude-esque, one ankle-over-the-opposite-thigh leg cross, and I caught a glimpse of his black motorcycle boots. The skin on his face was fair and smooth, and only his strong, square jaw saved his features from femininity. Gorgeous—a ten on a scale of Abercrombie model hotness. Tall, too, with dark blond hair and amazing emerald eyes.He turned his head, his gaze capturing mine. My face flamed, interrupting my ogling. His eyes widened, then narrowed. Once those hypnotic eyes seized mine, the atmosphere shifted and, for a moment, my heart ceased to beat. The intensity of his stare seemed to quiet all the thoughts and emotions whirling around inside my head. The lingering anxiety from this morning vanished.


After who knows how long, he slowly, almost reluctantly, turned away. He kept his head down like he had something to hide. Something he didn’t want people to see. Something he didn’t want me to see.I stared at his profile. Why had his attitude changed when he caught me gawking at him? Did he think, without even talking to me, that he was so far out of my league that we weren’t even playing the same game? Or worse…had he already heard the rumors surrounding my family?“Who’s the guy?” I whispered to Ariana, jerking at the sleeve of my sweater to make sure my scarred forearm remained covered. The skin tingled and burned again.Ariana snickered. “The hottie with the green eyes is Trent Donovan. Fallen Oaks’s newest bad boy.”

Excerpt from BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN – “Meet the Kitten”:

“Ah, poor baby. Are you hungry?” I asked, and the kitten loudly meowed. “Can we feed her?” I glanced at Trent with a pouty expression. “Please?”He shook his head, throwing up his hands. “Sure. There’s milk in the kitchen. I’ll be right back.”Trent returned with a bowl of milk and set it on the floor. I lowered the cat and she greedily lapped up the milk.
“She’s cute,” Trent said.
The ball of fluff raised her head, licking white drops off her mouth.“What should we name her?” I hoisted the kitten and cuddled her in my arms.
Trent wrapped one arm around me and scratched under the kitten’s white chin. “How about Charm?”
My heart skipped a beat and I melted into the crook of his arm. “It’s perfect.”
He rubbed the cat behind her ears. “I’d rather have a dog,” he teased.I covered the cat’s pointy ears with my hands. “Shhh, Charm will hear you.”
Trent grinned, then took the kitten from my arms and surprised me by kissing Charm’s head. He set her on the floor and grasped my hand…

Excerpt from BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN – “A Kiss”:

His hands gripped my shoulders and he yanked me against him, his mouth covering mine in a deep kiss. The caress of his lips was softer than I’d imagined. An unfamiliar rush of yearning engulfed my senses. My hands wrapped around his neck, fingering his silky hair. His firm lips seared a path along my neck, igniting a blaze of desire that flooded my skin everywhere they lingered. My heart pounded. Then his mouth found mine and my whole body tingled. He touched my face softly with his fingertips, holding me in place. My own fingers caressed his face, his neck, grasped onto his shoulders. My nails dug into his shirt as I kissed him back. I was overcome with heat and yearning. I pressed myself closer to him, knowing all the while that we could be caught at any moment by his uncle, but I didn’t care.Boys had kissed me before, but not like this. Never like this…

Thank you so much for letting me chat up my YA series with all of you. It’s been an honor to share my favorite moments from the first two books in the Spellbound series. If you haven’t seized your copy of BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN yet, please do so. Epic thrills, spooky adventures, and passionate romance await you! I hope everyone enjoyed this post, now go feed your mind and read a book! Preferably one of mine. 

Hunting Demons is One Thing…Dating Them is Another.

Life sucks for Shiloh Trudell. And being a demon hunter who’s in love with a cocky half-demon makes things even suckier.Especially when she discovers that Trent, her sinfully hot boyfriend, is hiding a few dangerous secrets. Like the fact that he’s losing his humanity.


To complicate matters, witches from the local coven are mysteriously turning up dead, and as Shiloh searches for answers, she confronts her worst nightmare…Trent is being blackmailed into becoming the next leader of the Underworld.But Shiloh is still convinced that she can save him, even after the impossibly gorgeous, fallen angel Raze tells her that a relationship with Trent is forbidden now. Warned to stay away from the only boy she’s ever loved, she can’t ignore the sizzling attraction that ignites whenever they’re around one another. Especially after a swoon-inducing night of stolen passion.

As Shiloh’s world begins to unravel around her, it soon becomes obvious that her destiny lies in one of two choices: vanquish Trent or join him in the Underworld.

Early Praise

Dangerous Boys is a taut, compelling thriller balanced on the razor's edge of suspense. I could not put it down, and could not stop grinning wickedly as I raced through the pages." -- Leah Raeder, USA Today bestselling author of Unteachable

"Abigail Hass is a master at her craft! This is a special book and a special author. This is the kind of storytelling and writing that stick with you no matter how much time passes." -- The Book Geek Blog

"As with Dangerous Girls, the closing left me with a huge, admittedly rather twisted smile on my face. I don't know how Haas manages to turn me into such a gleefully evil creature." -- Dahlia Adler, blogger.

"Dangerous Boys was an intense, psychological read which was full of suspense and drama,...Abigail Haas has a way of writing books which reel you in and keep you there, hooked and addicted until the very last page." -- Goodreads.com

Book Blitz featuring Whisper by Heather Hildenbrand

Since I'm on Heather's "Hotshots Street Team", I thought it would definitely be most appropriate to share this little book blitz with you guys, featuring her brand new New Adult paranormal fantasy, Whisper. I am a PRETTY HUGE FAN of Heather Hildenbrand and have really enjoyed her Dirty Blood series a great deal. If you're looking to branch out of the normal standard contemporary romance section of New Adult fiction and read some pretty awesome and amazingly written paranormal, then Heather Hildenbrand is definitely the way to go, ya'll. I absolutely love the way that she's able to write her characters wonderfully well with fantastic growth potential, depth, and realistic flaws that lend themselves well to the story she is weaving together. 

Whisper by Heather Hildenbrand

New Adult Paranormal Fantasy

The Cherokee believe when a person dies, their soul is reborn. Life is repeated. An endless cycle of lessons to be learned, love to be found, destiny to be fulfilled. For the past six months, in every flower, every bird, I’ve imagined my parents, relieved of their human forms.

Now, after five months at the Skye View Wellness Center, it was summer. A time for parties and friends, but that’s the last thing I want to do. So when my best friend Erin convinces me to attend a bonfire at Eagle Point, I can’t handle the crowd full of sympathetic stares or drunken class clowns who would use my tragedy as a way into my heart – or my pants. The solitude of the woods offers an escape, until I stumble upon a boy, unconscious and bleeding, his pockets stuffed not with identification but with poetry illustrating the beauty of dying. I’ve seen enough death. I will not leave this boy’s side.

Even after he wakes, when the only thing he can remember are visions of events that haven’t happened yet…
