Starlight Christmas
Yumoyori Wilson
(Starlight Gods, #3)
Publication date: December 22nd 2017
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance

Christmas.

A time for giving and receiving. A time for celebration. A holiday I’ve only read about in a storybook – page after page of seeing a little girl celebrating the joys of Christmas.

I had envied that girl, reading her tale on the cold, library floor while she was surrounded by so much warmth. So many cycles trapped in the facility by my Owner, my only presents the old, tattered books that surrounded me, my imagination my only salvation.

So many cycles, I’d spent wishing to be like the girl in the fairy tale, wishing I was surrounded by my loved ones, opening presents and enjoying their company.

My wish had finally come true. This cycle would be different. Rescued by my star knights, I vowed to enjoy every minute of this season with them by my side.

This Christmas, I would enjoy being free.

This Christmas, I would enjoy being free.

Starlight Christmas is apart of the Holiday Series. It will be FULL-LENGTH novel and does not take place during the same timeline as the main series. It’s recommended to read DARK WISH- BOOK ONE of the Starlight Gods Series to understand/enjoy this novel.

Recommended for 18+ audience, containing mature sexual content and strong language.

EXCERPT:

Marcus turned his attention back to me – a satisfied grin formed on his smooth lips. I finally realized what he just did.

“You’re evil.”

“I’m smart.”

“How long until they realize you totally lied?”

“If I’m lucky thirty minutes, but knowing how sharp Elias is, he’ll find Kai in twenty.”

“You do realize you’ll have three angry shifters after you.”

“I’m prepared for that.” He reassured me. I was about to stand up when one arm hooked around me and his other arm hooked underneath my knees, lifting me up with ease.

I quickly hooked my hands around his neck as I gave him a confused look.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m kidnapping the princess.”

“I don’t think you’re supposed to reveal your plans.”

“There’s no one here to stop me.”

“How about if I don’t want to be kidnapped?”

He buried his face against my shoulder – kissing my flesh. I moaned, biting my lip. He rose to kiss me on my lips before pulling away.

“Trust me, my Firefly. You shall enjoy me kidnapping you. Now, we must scurry away to my evil lair, aka my bedroom.”

Cover Reveal/ Groupie Games

Posted on by Cindy

Today is the cover reveal for Groupie Games by Rebecca Lewis. This cover reveal is organized by Lola’s Blog Tours.

Groupie GamesGroupie Games
By Rebecca Lewis
Genre: Romance
Age category: Adult
Release Date: 21 December 2017

Blurb:
**Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls go backstage.**

The Groupie Games are just that…games. You’re not supposed to get attached to any of the rock stars you hook up with. You shouldn’t fall for the stupid sexy way they look in their tight, ripped jeans or how they strut around the stage like they own it. But what happens when one of them turns the tables on you? When a rock star wants more than just a good time?

My two best friends and I sleep with rock stars like it’s a sport. We score points for each one we get with, and the winner gets to claim the title of being the “Groupie Games Queen.” It’s supposed to be fun. No drama, no emotions, and definitely no attachments. But Kellan Reid, the sexy AF lead singer of the hottest new rock band keeps coming back to me for more than just a casual hook-up, so how am I supposed to stop myself from wanting more?

**Groupie Games is a standalone sexy rock star romance. Due to graphic content, this steamy read is not recommended for those under 18.**

You can find Groupie Games on Goodreads

Groupie Games teaser

Excerpt:
He is definitely feeling himself tonight. The muscle tank came off five songs in and he’s lapping up the screams from his fans like water, giving them a little extra hip gyration here and there. Damn it, it’s sexy as hell.
“That’s it. Your boy’s in full-on rock god mode right now.” Jules points as Kellan drags his hand slowly down his abs and grabs his crotch. The girls by the front of the stage just watch in awe. He bites his lip and kneels by the edge of the stage as he finishes singing the last song of their set.
I nod. This is his element. Where he shines. And God, I love to see him shine.
The guys run off stage with their towels and beers in hand. They are hot, sweaty messes, but I have to steal Kellan away the second he comes near me. I grab his arm to turn him towards me and run my tongue along his glistening bare chest. “I want to lick the sweat right off you.”
He smirks and takes my hand, leading me away from the rest of the band.

Cover Reveal/ Clowders

Posted on by Cindy

Clowders
Vanessa Morgan
Publication date: March 1st 2018
Genres: Adult, Supernatural, Thriller

Clervaux, Luxembourg. This secluded, picturesque town in the middle of Europe is home to more cats than people. For years, tourists have flocked to this place – also known as “cat haven” – to meet the cats and buy cat-related souvenirs.

When Aidan, Jess and their five-year-old daughter, Eleonore, move from America to Clervaux, it seems as if they’ve arrived in paradise. It soon becomes clear, though, that the inhabitants’ adoration of their cats is unhealthy. According to a local legend, each time a cat dies, nine human lives are taken as a punishment. To tourists, these tales are supernatural folklore, created to frighten children on cold winter nights. But for the inhabitants of Clervaux, the danger is darkly, horrifyingly real.

Initially, Aidan and Jess regard this as local superstition, but when Jess runs over a cat after a night out in the town, people start dying, one by one, and each time it happens, a clowder of cats can be seen roaming the premises.

Are they falling victim to the collective paranoia infecting the entire town? Or is something horrible waiting for them? Something unspeakably evil.

Aidan and Jess’ move to Europe may just have been the worst decision they ever made.

Where I Found You (Sea #1) by Heidi R. Kling
Genre: YA Contemporary
Published by Entangled Teen
Published on December 4th, 2017Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36430174-where-i-found-youhttps://entangledpublishing.com/where-i-found-you.htmlAfter her mother’s plane went missing over the Indian Ocean, seventeen-year-old Sienna Jones gave up everything she loved about living in California. No more surfing. No more swimming. No more ocean, period. Playing it safe, hiding from the world, is the best call.

Until her dad throws down the challenge of a lifetime: spend the summer with his humanitarian team in Indonesia, working with orphans who lost everything in a massive tsunami.

The day they arrive, Sienna meets a mysterious boy named Deni, whose dark, intense eyes make her heart race. Their stolen nights force her to open up and live in a way she thought she couldn’t anymore. When she’s with Deni, she remembers the girl she used to be…and starts to feel like the woman he sees in her.

A woman he wants for his own.

Gulp.

But when Deni’s past comes looking for him, Sienna’s faced with losing another person she loves. She can’t do it. Not again.

Fortunately, this time, she has a plan.
