Seventeen-year-old bounty hunter SHADOW is about to lose his mind. One week he's killing demons and other creatures. The next, he has ten super-powered teenagers in his care. Shadow needs their help, because without them he can’t hope to complete his mission. But he’s never dealt with other teenagers before. He’s always been a loner. Heck, he’s tried the whole having-a-pet thing. It died.
Shadow’s mission: save the world and ensure his entire team survives the potential apocalypse. If MAEDARA, self-proclaimed fashionista, Queen of Evil, and diva extraordinaire wasn’t trying to rule the world, it’d be cake.

Giveaway and Author Take Over With Dawn Kirby

Wednesday, October 30, 2013


Okay my wonderful readers I have a special treat for you NO tricks here. I have the Lovely Dawn Kirby the author of the Serenity Series here today and she has wrote a short Flash Fiction for all of us to enjoy. She is even Giving Away a Signed Copy of Secrets book #1 in her Serenity Series. So Grab a drink and enjoy this Flash Fiction Short.  

I dashed through the brush, darting through trees, dodging stumps and fallen limbs; loving the feel of the wind as it blew through my coat. The rumble of thunder shook the ground beneath my paws. Lightening lit up the black sky. I veered off my normal path when the rain started to fall, wanting the night to last as long as possible. 

I needed the cool, crisp air to clear my head. Work was hectic. A tense four year relationship with my ex fiancé had ended. Because of our inability to work it out the future of two packs were now hanging in balance. A fact my uncle had taken to drilling into my head daily since I’d told him about the break-up. Stress was killing me and running was the only way I knew how to let it melt away, if only for a short while. 

As I approached the creek I froze. In my haste to escape the world I’d gone too far. Standing in the water not fifty feet in front of me was another wolf. A big wolf. An alpha wolf. A wolf I’d only dreamed of being alone with… Adam.   

I backed away hoping my white coat hadn’t given me away. As I backed away a twig snapped under my paws. The chocolate brown wolf ran at me, eyes intent, emotionless. Frozen, I waited for the inevitable. I was in his territory. I was alone and no one knew I where I was. 

His snout connected with my side, nearly knocking me onto my side. Despite my situation, I stood my ground, knowing he could smell my fear. Suddenly a solo run didn’t sound like such a good idea. 

He stalked around me, sniffing here and there as he went. I lowered my head letting him know I knew who he was. He mouthed the back of my neck. No teeth, but his grip was firm. I fell to the ground, submitting. 

A familiar surge of energy pulsed through my body. With a soft glow the wolf I was faded away leaving me in my human form naked, cold and exposed. Adam sat on back hunches. He turned his head as if contemplating his next move. I sat unmoving while he walked slowly around me once again.  

As he rounded my body to face me, his amber eyes stayed fixed on mine. I felt the energy around me surge again. As the animal made his way up the length of my legs a soft glow radiated through his body changing him from wolf to man. 

I let out a sigh. There he was in all his glory. Long, brown hair. Intense eyes. Perfect lips. Lean, strong body. Long, toned legs. Big, calloused hands. His eyes as a human as intense as those of a wolf. A predator studying his prey.  

“I’m sorry, I-“ I whispered. He put his finger to my lips and shook his head. My body trembled. “Please let me exp-“

“No need,” he said softly. “Had I been offended you’d already be dead.”

My body tensed. Not knowing what to do next I kept completely still. This was his territory and his rules. I was at his mercy until he decided what to do with me.

“Jenna, is it?” he asked. I nodded. He smiled and ran his hand up her thigh. “I thought so. I’ve watched you.”

Dumbstruck, her mouth fell open. “Me?” 
I had been within arms reach of him many times during pack get-togethers and such, but as far as I knew he’d never once looked my way. He had his choice of women. Not to mention his hands full with his own pack. 

“You.” His smile grew wider.  

“Why? I’m- . And you’re-“

“Yeah, there is that,” he said shrugging his shoulders. He folded his legs under him and put his other hand on her cheek. “But what kind of man would I be to turn down a beautiful woman when she wanders so willingly into my backyard?”

“Again, I apologize,” I said. My breath caught as his thumb began to caress the inside of my thigh. “I wasn’t thinking.”

“Obviously,” he said with a sly smile. “I assume your failed engagement brought you to me?”

I nodded my head. “He’s moving the last of his stuff out now. I had enough of the fighting and left.” 

“Interference from both sides?”

“Of course,” she answered.  

“Not to be unexpected. You two were supposed to merge two packs.” Again I nodded. He looked down at his hand on my thigh and then back up at me. “Forgive me for saying this, but neither pack has the leader they deserve. “Even if your relationship had been successful it wouldn’t have made a difference. Weak stock.”

I stiffened. Was he calling me weak? “Excuse me?”

He laughed and rocked up on his knees. His eyes changed. I saw hunger in them know. “No, not you.” I could feel his breath on my lips. He put his knee between mine, inching closer. “Him. Had he been what he should be he would have had you followed.  A real alpha doesn’t willingly let his possessions go.”

“Possessions?” I whispered.

“You were his to protect. To love. To cherish.” His tongue brushed across my lips. “He failed. Though I dare say, his loss may be my gain.”

“How so?” I asked. My heart was pounding in my ears. This was all wrong, but I didn’t care.  

His free hand drifted to the back of my neck, running his fingers through my long black hair. My body began to tremble. His amber eyes, now brighter than before locked onto mine. My skin was on fire. He knew I wanted him. Whether I wanted him to know or not; whether I was ready or not, he knew. 

“I stake a claim of my own,” he growled. 

He pressed his lips to mine. Resisting at first, I gave in, pulling him closer to me. Fear and doubt gave way to passion. Real honest to God passion.  Embracing it for the fist time in a long time I let him take the lead. 

Adam leaned against me, pressing my body to the ground. I dug my hands in his hair keeping his lips on mine for a long as possible. He pulled my head back, nibbling his way down my neck. As his rough hands raked down my sides, I arched my back and closed my eyes. God, his fingers felt good. 

My eyes shot open when he bit down on my nipple. Pleasure replaced pain as his tongue rolled around it. Slow at first and then faster.  I dug my fingers into his hair and pulled. He squeezed my breasts and started to nibble the very tip of my nipple. When he switched sides he rubbed the palm of his hand over my exposed breast. 

His hands moved slowly down my stomach. His tongue coupled with the periodic drops of rain sent little jolts of electricity up and down my spine. I dug my nails into his shoulders pushing him further down. I wanted to feel his lips, his tongue all over me. 

I practically melted when I felt the warmth of his tongue lick my clit. He pushed my legs further apart and settled into a crouched position, licking gently the entire time. I adjusted my hips. His tongue slid inside me. I grabbed his head urging him to go in deeper. He wrapped his arms around my thighs and squeezed, lifting my hips off the ground. I rolled my hips against his tongue. Just when I thought I couldn’t take more, he forced me still and sucked hard on my clit. Waves of pleasure ran through me. 

He looked up at me, the hunger I’d seen before now at its peak. He let my legs go and laid down on top of me. I wrapped my legs around his hips as he slid inside of me, filling me. My hips rocked against his. His thrusts slow but hard. Our lips locked. This time the kiss more forceful, more intense, more needful.

I ran my fingers up and down his back, my nails barely touching his skin. His lips broke from mine. He put his head in the curve of my neck and moaned. His thrusts grew faster, more determined. 

We rolled over, me on top of him. I sat up and smiled. As I wiggled my hips, pressing down as hard as I could against his pelvis, his eyes rolled back into his head. His body stiffened. His fingers bit into my calves. I leaned down, brushing my nipples across his skin and licked the curve of his neck. 

In a flash he was behind me. The rain started to fall faster. I felt his fingers twist into my tangled hair as he yanked my head back and pushed me down on all fours. He rammed into me. I gasped and braced myself. The wolf inside had taken over. 

His thumbs pressed hard into my sides. He rubbed the palms of his hands against my breasts. I moaned as his fingers traveled down and in-between my legs. I swayed my hips from side to side. He slid in and out again and again as he gently massaged my clit. My body trembled.  

Suddenly his fingers dug into my hips as he slammed into me with the force of a jackhammer. I arched my back and let him use me. He needed it and so did I. I’d held back for far too long. He forced himself in deeper. My fingers burrowed into the wet ground.  Thunder rumbled. Lightening flashed around us, driving our passion to a new level. I pushed against him and spread my legs further apart. He moaned, moving faster still. 

I felt the end approaching fast and moaned. His thrusts slowed, but the force was still there. My body convulsed. I felt the muscles inside me tense around him, trying to hold him there for as long as they could. Within seconds I felt him cum. He collapsed against me. He put his arm around my waist and pulled me to the ground with him. Breathless and spent; our bodies limp with sweat and rain, we lay beside each other face to face.

I looked into his eyes, sensing something different though I didn’t know what. His hold tightened around my waist. I didn’t fight it. One night with him had been better than four years with my ex. No matter what happens after I leave, I’ll always have that.

Giveaway,Excerpt & Review Surrendering to the Alpha by Lia Davis

Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Title: Surrendering to the Alpha
Author: Lia Davis
Series: Ashwood Falls  (#3)
Genre: Paranormal Romance/Shapeshifters
Publisher: Fated Desires Publishing, LLC
Release Date: Sept 7 2013
Edition: Kindle
Source: Purchase
Rating:

Ashwood Falls’ leopard Alpha, Keegan Andrews holds onto the pain of his deceased mate as his own personal hell—a reminder that not all things are what they seem. The Pack Scribe, Addyson Lewis is no exception. She’s intrigued him like no other since the day she stumbled into Ashwood territory about twenty-five years ago. When he discovers that just being near her calms the storm inside him, he can’t stay away even if it means exposing her to the evil she tried to escape. 

Over a hundred years of psychological torture at the hands of the rogue Onyx Pack has left Addyson with no memories of her life before captivity and with the inability to control her psychometric nature. Anything or anyone she touches sends her into their darkest past and secrets, causing her pain she wouldn’t wish on anyone. Without the ability to control it, she’s forced to deny her leopard the connection she craves from the Pack that welcomed her with love and without judgment. That is, until the day Keegan involuntarily touches her bare skin and she finds the peace she’d craved for far too long. 

Warning: Contains one sexy alpha leopard who craves the most decadent of dreams, a hidden treasure contained within a spunky woman, and the ability to create a mating bond that’s the most explosive yet.

Excerpt 2 (The Syrenka Series - Cold Feet)
As soon as I saw the first glimmer of sunrise, I trudged back up to the house and tried to prepare myself for the humiliation to come. Though early morning, a flurry of movement reminded me that wedding preparations were in full swing. I sighed as I took that last, heavy step up to the expansive wood deck. No amount of preparation would make this any easier. The sliding glass door slid open with a thud, and three protectors emerged carrying large vases of flowers. Troy saw me standing in the shadows and nodded in my direction. “Master Matthew. I didn’t know you were here already.” I tried to make my smile look authentic. “Couldn’t sleep.” He set the heavy arrangement down and wiped a bead of sweat from his face. “Getting cold feet yet?” he teased. My stomach flipped and I swallowed the anger in my throat. Instead of replying I forced out a laugh. This wouldn’t be easy. I was here and no one knew Eviana was gone. Who do I tell first? “Is Mistress Dumahl inside?” I asked, deciding on her mother, the leader of their clan. “Yes, in the banquet room I believe,” Troy said. I nodded to him and walked inside the house. Moving around the center island, I couldn’t help but notice the flowers and baskets and wedding decorations scattered all over the place. A lot had gone into the planning of this wedding, and a lot of people were going to be very disappointed. As I rounded the corner, I ran into a petite woman carrying a clipboard and yelling into her cell phone. “No, I said fuchsia, not pink. You better not show up here with pink bows.” She looked up with a glare before recognizing me. “I’m not arguing about this anymore. Just be here soon.” She hung up and shook her head. “I tell you, give someone a little leeway and they think they can redesign the whole wedding.” “Mistress Dumahl,” I said. “I need to…” “Please, call me Marguerite, Kain. You’re a part of this family now.” She beamed at me with a smile that perfectly matched Eviana’s. I sucked in a breath. “I wasn’t expecting you so early, but I’m glad you’re here. Perhaps you can get her out of bed?” “Eviana? But I need to talk to…” “Yes,” she said and brushed past me. “Please tell Eviana that I need her downstairs in twenty minutes.” Before she finished that sentence, her phone rang again. I heard her yelling at yet another vendor as she marched through the house. Tempted to leave, I stood there weighing the pros and cons of that decision. I could just slip away until they noticed Eviana had left and let them break the news to me. That would be easier, but that would also be cowardly.
Excerpt 3 (The Leila Marx Novels - Discovery)
The aroma of simmering bacon mixed with freshly cooked eggs filled the kitchen and tempted my stomach. Russ hustled back and forth between the table and stove as graceful as a dancer, not once breaking his stride. Much appreciated in my house, his cooking skills only added to the attractiveness. I leaned against the counter to enjoy the view. Dressed only in a pair of jeans, Russ’ bare back flexed with each little move. His muscular arms moved effortlessly and when he turned to smile at me, my heart fluttered. “Good morning, beautiful,” he said. Despite the novelty of our relationship, I predicted he was here to stay. No one had ever made me feel like this before. I smiled and walked to his side, wrapping my arms around his waist and squeezing tight. “Morning,” I replied. Lifting my head to meet his lips, another rush of emotions flooded my body. On top of my own infatuation, an overwhelming sense of happiness embraced me. Despite trying to shield myself, Russ’ feelings poured through every place our skin touched. We were both ridiculously content with each other. I smiled, but then noticed only one plate at the table. “You’re not staying?” Russ kissed the top of my head and pushed away to finish lifting the bacon out of the sizzling pan. “No, I have to go home and then into work for a bit.” Pouting, I pulled the chair out and sat down next to the single setting. He laughed and loaded up my plate. “Don’t look so sad. I’ll be back tonight.” Rare for us to spend a night apart, I still couldn’t control the tingling in my body every time we planned to see each other. “What are you doing today?” Russ asked while rinsing the pans. “I think I’ll go check out that psychic I told you about.” He’d cooked the bacon to a perfect crisp and I savored my first bite. With a full mouth, I added, “She’s one of the last ones I haven’t met.” Russ shook his head and chuckled. My little project amused him. Knowing the special gifts I had, he accepted the idea of others like me. But he thought my efforts to prove them wrong were unnecessary. Every time I moved to a new city, I made it a point of identifying the true psychics. So far, they’ve all been fake. In a city the size of Baltimore, I expected to find at least one. Maybe the lady today would be the real deal. “Well, have fun.” Russ dried his hands and leaned across the small kitchen table to grab my face. “As far as I’m concerned, you’re the only psychic in my book.” Buy Links Amazonhttp://www.amazon.com/Furthermore-ebook/dp/B00AJ7HA5M/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1357445435&sr=8-8 Smashwords - https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/262444 Barnes and Noble - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/furthermore-amber-garr/1114043797?ean=2940044190887
