BOOK DESCRIPTION:

AN ALL-NEW PLAY-BY-PLAY NOVELLA

All Elizabeth and Gavin Riley want for Christmas is a baby. Despite over a year of trying, conception hasn’t been successful. But for a high-achiever like Elizabeth, she must succeed at everything. That means making the very most of every opportunity with her husband. And when it comes to nonstop sex Gavin’s not really complaining. Exhausted, maybe…

Unfortunately, this holiday season they’re not exactly given a lot of private time. Elizabeth is hosting the holiday, Gavin’s sister is getting married, and the house is wall-to-wall with family. For Elizabeth and Gavin the nights may be chilly, but the urge is still hot. And they’re not about to let any distraction get in the way of their necessary pleasures during a holiday game that yields so many unexpected surprises.

Includes a preview of Jaci Burton’s upcoming novels Melting the Ice and Hope Flames.

REVIEW:

Liz and Gavin want to have a baby. In this short book they make every effort to make it happen. With a cute story woven between a lot of hot sex it was a hot and quick read. Jaci Burton knows how to write great sex scenes and she didn’t disappoint in this book. I look forward to more books in this series.

Play by Play Series by Jaci Burton

» The Play by Play series is a steamy, sexy peek into the world of sports as seen through the Riley family. Mick Riley is a professional football player, his brother Gavin plays baseball. Their sister Jenna runs the family sports bar and doesn’t want anything to do with any guy involved with sports. Their parents are heavily involved in their lives and it’s a loving, tight knit family.

And I’m expanding the Play by Play series to include more characters beyond the Riley family. Hot, sexy, talented men who bonded together at college and remained friends beyond. I hope you’re going to love these men as much as you’ve loved and embraced my Riley family.

» I love sports. I have mad love for football, both pro as well as college. Come Fall you’ll find me planted in front of the television on the weekends to watch the Oklahoma Sooners play on Saturday and the St. Louis Rams play on Sunday. I grew up in St. Louis so Cardinals baseball has always been a big part of my life (Cardinals football was, too, before they moved to Arizona). I still remember as a kid watching one sport on television while my dad would listen to the other sport on the radio. I’m a big fan of NASCAR racing, and world cup soccer. My older son played soccer from the time he was five years old all the way through varsity soccer in high school. While I can’t catch a ball, kick a ball or throw a ball worth a damn, I love to watch it all.

» So having the chance to write a sports series has been a dream come true for me. And what better way to showcase my love for all things sports than to write this series. Hot, sexy, determined to have it all—their successes and their failures pave the way to the biggest win of their lives—that elusive happily ever after.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Bad boy Neil Harrison may have sexy body and an even sexier smile, but there’s no way in hell architect Carson Kelly is falling for the elusive bachelor. For starters, he’s her boss, and getting intimately involved with the infuriating alpha male could be a career-killer. And secondly, he’s battling personal demons in one of the most dangerous ways possible: illegal street racing. After a friend’s tragic death years ago, Carson swore she’d never get involved in that life again.

Neil knows Carson’s keeping secrets and he’s determined to uncover all of them…even if he has to seduce them out of her. But as their antagonistic work relationship ignites a passionate affair, Carson must decide if protecting Neil from his need for speed is the perfect outlet for her own restless desire, or if they’re on a one-way path to destruction.

REVIEW:

Spectacular book! Neil and Carson’s story had me hooked from the first page. Carson was Neil’s architect and they fought their attraction towards each other until the bitter end. When they were unable to fight it anymore they nearly lit my kindle on fire. This book had the perfect amount of drama, action and passion. I loved the way the author told everyone’s story while still keeping the main story on Neil and Carson. I will absolutely add Gina Gordon to my list of great books!

The long-awaited sequel to the bestselling, award-winning King Hall: the revolution is here, but the most dangerous attack may come from within…

The safe, comfortable world of Lily Ruckler and her fellow Mystical Kings and Queens is rocked to the core by the attacks at King Hall. Not only does Lily have to kill the Commoners attacking her people, she also has to assume the mantle of leadership, and bring the surviving Mysticals to King Cave.

It’s not normal for Shifters and Vampires to be friends, and when a horrifying truth is revealed, their relationship morphs from unusual to unspeakable.

Men Reading Romance Books

Someone posted one of those hot pictures of a guy reading the other day on Facebook and it made me think that if more men read romance books their women would be happier so I turned to my friend who’s husband reads romances and asked her to talk to her husband and see if he could write something up for our blog. I think a lot of guys do not know anything about some of the romance books we read and would actually enjoy them if they picked them up. Brad gives us his thoughts below. /Cori

20131110-162744.jpg
Brad Bezoni’s Thoughts on Reading Romance Books:

Yes, I admit it, I am a man, and I read romance novels. Not the Jackie Collins type, but the ones that are more slanted to the paranormal – vampires, werewolves, mythological based, etc. Now keep in mind that my typical reading fare is in the Sci Fi and fantasy realm – Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Dune, Stephen King and the like. Hell, my favorite book growing up was In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. So romance novels – not really what I ever thought I would end up reading. Let me take you back to the beginning, and explain…

My wife began reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood books a couple of years ago, and as I didn’t have anything that I was reading at the time she suggested I take a stab at them (she thought I would enjoy the fighting scenes). And I have to admit, I was sucked into most of the books and the series instantly. The back stories of the characters, the depth of the environment, the attention to detail, the “liberties” that the authors took and ran with to make their worlds believable – it was all much more than I ever thought any romance author would have put into their books. And the violence, oh the sweet, glorious violence that these books held – references to Glocks, Sig Sauers, sais, katanas, martial arts forms, graphic descriptions of fight scenes, it was a dream come true (although I was a little concerned when I first heard “Baby, what’s a Sig Sauer?” from the bedroom)! Then, THEN, the “romance”; not any of the “they laid down on the bed and gently made love for hours on end” crap that just makes men want to vomit, but true, gritty, graphic scenes, so expertly written that you could see them play out in your mind (and yes, I have always had a very dirty mind). From the soft, gentle lovemaking scenes to the rough, hard, have to have it nowz scenes, all were written in a way that I could read and not think I needed to put a bullet through my brain because NO ONE ever thinks or acts that way. They are written with a real edge, a true person’s perspective, and did I mention graphic???

Do I enjoy reading them? You bet I do, but not just for the sex scenes, or the violence, or the mythos – no, I enjoy reading them for all of these reasons combined, and the way that each of them play and build off of each other. The southern belle being wooed by a suitor while on her plantation in the south – give me a break, I have better things to do, like a root canal. But a woman who wakes up chained to a vampiric hunter, and becomes a part of a centuries old war between Hunters and a sub race bent on feeding on the souls of the innocent, and who happens to have hot, steamy sex that would give the adult film industry a run for its money – yeah, that I can gladly give my time to. (This is a description of Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon) And I won’t lie, I’ve taken some of the things that were in the books and used them in the bedroom, much to my, and definitely to my wife’s, benefit.

Now I know my tastes aren’t those of everyone – some people may not like stories of fights and fantasy, and some people may like the highly froo-froo stories. More power to them. I for one enjoy these stories/books, and plan to continue reading them into the future. And just for reference, I’ve been reading J. R. Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Thea Harrison, Karen Marie Moning and Gena Showalter, as well as other novels in the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres interspersed along the way.

Roz has been indebted to the demon Asmodai for five hundred years, and her freedom is just around the corner. All she has to do is complete one last task for him—obtain a key that had been hidden in a church centuries ago.

Piers, the Head of the Order and an ancient vampire, is intrigued by the woman who comes to him for help. She’s beautiful and seemingly kind, but she’s hiding something. And he’ll find out who she is and what she really wants once he uses his power to get inside her head. But Piers has no idea that Roz is immune to his mind-control…or that he is simply a pawn in her dangerous mission for freedom.

The Fever Series & The Highlander Series by Karen Marie Moning

20131109-144724.jpg

 

THE FEVER SERIES BY KAREN MARIE MONING

This is one of my favorite series and I recommend grabbing the box set if you haven’t read the series because you’re going to want to read them back to back. You’ll fall in love with Barrons! Now for those that love hot paranormal series you’ll love this one, but I’d also recommend it for people who normally wouldn’t pick up a paranormal. I got my mother to read this series and she isn’t much of a romance or paranormal lover yet she was completely captivated by this story because it’s just such a unique plot that completely transports the reader into another world. It captures and holds your attention throughout the entire series. Love it! /Cori

✦BOOK DESCRIPTIONS

In the blockbuster Fever series, Karen Marie Moning creates a darkly erotic and paranormal world, torn apart by the struggle between humans and Fae. Now in a convenient eBook bundle, here are the five thrillingly sexy novels featuring heroine MacKayla Lane: Darkfever, Bloodfever, Faefever, Dreamfever, and Shadowfever.

✦DARKFEVER
When her sister is murdered, MacKayla Lane journeys to Ireland in search of answers. There, she makes a startling discovery: She’s a sidhe-seer, which gives her the rare power to glimpse beyond the realm of Man, and into the dangerous realm of the Fae. As the boundary between the worlds begins to crumble, Mac becomes a target. But her mission is clear: Find the Sinsar Dubh, an ancient book that contains the key to controlling mortals and Fae alike, before the enemy seizes it.

✦BLOODFEVER
In her fight to stay alive, Mac must hunt the Sinsar Dubh—a book of the blackest magic imaginable. Pursued by assassins and surrounded by mysterious figures she knows she cannot trust, Mac finds herself torn between two powerful men: V’lane, the ancient, immortal Fae Prince, and Jericho Barrons, a man as seductive as he is dangerous.

✦FAEFEVER
When Mac receives a page torn from her sister’s journal, she is stunned by its desperate contents. Now that Mac knows her sister’s killer is close, she’s on the hunt for revenge. Forced into a precarious alliance with V’lane, the lethal Fae prince, and Jericho Barrons, a man of deadly secrets, Mac is soon locked in a battle for her body, mind, and soul.

✦DREAMFEVER
When the walls between Man and Fae come crashing down, Mac is caught in a lethal trap. Captured by the Fae Lord Master, she is left with no memory of who or what she is: the only sidhe-seer alive who can track the Sinsar Dubh. Clawing her way back from oblivion is only the first step Mac must take down a perilous path, from the battle-filled streets of Dublin into the realm of the Fae, where nothing is as it seems.

✦SHADOWFEVER
In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac, and begins to mow a deadly path through those she loves. Who can she trust? But more important, who is Mac? Does an ancient prophecy reveal her destiny? Mac’s journey will force her to face the truth, and to make a choice that will either save the world . . . or destroy it.

 

✦FAVORITE QUOTES✦

“One day you do meet a man who kisses you and you can’t breathe around it and you realize you don’t need air. Oxygen is trivial. Desire makes life happen. Makes it matter. Makes everything worth it. Desire is life. Hunger to see the next sunrise or sunset. To touch the one you love. To try again.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

“He pulls me around and kisses me. “You’re Mac,” he says. “And I’m Jericho. And nothing else matters. Never will. You exist in a place that is beyond all rules for me. Do you understand that?”
I do.
Jericho Barrons just told me he loves me.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

“The moment I laid eyes on you, I knew you were trouble.”
“Ditto.”
“I wanted to drag you between the shelves, fuck you senseless, and send you home.”
“If you’d done that, I never would have left.”
“You’re still here anyway.”
“You don’t have to sound so sour about it.”
“You’re upsetting my entire existence.”
“Fine, I’ll leave.”
“Try and I’ll chain you up.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

“Just one time… When you know who I am. Let me be your man.”
― Jericho Barrons

“Unpredictable as a hungry lion, he might be feared by everyone else, but he never ripped out my throat, only licked me, and, if his tongue was a little rough sometimes, it was worth it to walk beside the king of the jungle.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

“Jericho Barrons was my poison now.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Dreamfever

“I love books, by the way, way more than movies. Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. Movies show you the pink house. A good book tells you there’s a pink house and lets you paint some of the finishing touches, maybe choose the roof style,park your own car out front. My imagination has always topped anything a movie could come up with. Case in point, those darned Harry Potter movies. That was so not what that part-Veela-chick, Fleur Delacour, looked like.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

“There are two kinds of people in the world Ms. Lane: those who survive no matter the cost and those who are walking victims.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

“She understood now why her friend Elizabeth, with her near-genius, analytical mind gave wide berth to murder mysteries, psychological thrillers, and horror stories, and read only romance novels. Because, by God, when a woman picked up one of those steamy books, she had a firm guarantee that there would be a Happily-Ever-After. That though the world outside those covers could bring such sorrow and disappointment and loneliness, between those covers, the world was a splendid place to be.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

“You want to believe in black and white, good and evil, heroes that are truly heroic, villains that are just plain bad, but I’ve learned in the past year that things are rarely so simple. The good guys can do some truly awful things, and the bad guys can sometimes surprise the heck out of you.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

*************

 

THE HIGHLANDER SERIES BY KAREN MARIE MONING

Karen Marie Moning’s Highlander Series goes with the Fever Series. Some of the Highlander Series characters are in the Fever series so I would recommend reading The Highlander books first. Each book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading them in order. Each book in this series is a love story about a different couple and has a HEA ending. The Fever Series is one continuous story with no ending yet.
