New Release from Crystal Jordan

UNTAMED by Crystal Jordan

The biological warfare of the twenty-first century changed the planet in astonishing ways, transforming humans into shape-shifters who love to walk on the wild side—reveling in danger and the explosive desire that consumes them…

Desire For A Price

Half-human, half-lynx, Delilah Chase makes her living as a professional thief. But when half-human, half-hawk Hunter Avery catches her trying to steal his priceless ruby, he makes her a proposition: spend a week in his bed, or take a trip to jail. What follows is seven days of unrelenting, primitive passion neither can live without…

Desire With No Limits

As the owner of Tail, the most notorious techno brothel in New Chicago, mink-shifter Lorelei Chase specializes in fulfilling all of her clients’ kinky fantasies. She just has one rule: Never sample the goods that her customers or workers offer. But every day, jaguar-shifter Nolan Angelo and wolf-shifter Pierce Vaughn tempt her to break that rule—until she ultimately gives in to a burning lust that knows no control…

When a Man Loves a Weapon

Bobbie Faye is at it again in this third installment of the series by Toni McGee Causey . When a Man Loves a Weapon releases on August 4, 2009.

Once again, death and destruction follow in Bobbie Faye's wake, most of it not her fault at all. When Trevor is called away on an assignment that is only supposed to last three days, Bobbie Faye is upset, especially with the crappy babysitter he left behind, but she can deal with it. Riles, the "guard" that Trevor saddled her with is driving her crazy, and she has made one too many trips to the Home Depot's paint department, making at least one employee cry. When three days turns into a week, then longer, Bobbie Faye decides to take matters into her own hands and this is where the explosions come in.

Sean MacGreggor is out there somewhere, plotting his revenge (on Bobbie Faye), there is an unknown bomber planning some vengeance of his own (not on Bobbie Faye), and Trevor is nowhere to be found. With all of this going on it's no wonder that everything goes to hell in a handbasket. But not all of this has to do with Bobbie Faye, so how does she end up in the middle of everything?

Toni has crafted an action packed story full of suspense, mystery, and some tear jerking tender moments blended with the hilarity, making for a fast paced, page turning, rollercoaster ride!

Bank Of America SUCKS!!!

I know this has nothing to do with books, but I wanted to get this out to as many people as possible!
I promised them I would let everyone know how bad they suck and this post is to follow up on that promise. If it will save anyone else the crap I have had to go through then it is worth it. They screw you out of fees for overdraft "protection", even when they are using your own money from savings. They had already pulled 3 overdraft fees out of my account without contacting me or taking the money out of my savings account on the basis that "people object to paying the 10 dollars for that service". They had no problems in charging me 35 dollars three times without my permission! I am incredibly pissed, so this may not make sense to everyone, but I wanted to warn people to avoid BOA at all costs!!!

Bobbie Faye Gets a Makeover!

Toni McGee Causey's adventures of Bobbie Faye, the living, breathing, walking, talking example of Murphy's Law are being re-released in Mass Market format with all new covers and titles. The first book Bobbie Faye's Very (very, very, very) Bad Day is now titled Charmed and Dangerous and will be available on June 2, 2009.

The second book, formerly called Bobbie Faye's (kinda, sorta, not exactly) Family Jewels is now Girls Just Wanna Have Guns and will be available on June 30, 2009.

All of this is in preparation for the third installment coming on August 4, 2009, When a Man Loves a Weapon .

I will be posting a review of When a Man Loves a Weapon in the coming weeks, and Toni is doing a contest on her site that you have to check out!

Over My Dead Body by Michele Bardsley (Contest Added!)

Today is the release day for Over My Dead Body by Michele Bardsley. It is the fifth book in the Broken Heart Oklahoma Vampire series.

This book tells the story of Simone Sweet, single mother and vampire turnblood with a history she has hidden from everyone. She is trying to figure out how to stay under the radar and raise her young daughter Glory, but Braddock "Brady" Hayes has decided he wants to dig deeper into the mystery of Simone. Brady is an ex-military and ex-paranormal investigator who is now helping to protect the town of Broken Heart by installing a special shield around it. Both of their past secrets are coming back to haunt them with a vengeance, and get the whole town involved.

ETAC, an elite government unit specializing in paranormal problems is dead set on eradicating Broken Heart and getting their hands on Brady. They have no qualms in killing and abusing innocent creatures, children, and people to accomplish their task and Simone is intimately involved with a surprising member of this force.

Ms. Bardsley has written a realistically shocking view of domestic violence, describing the immediate fear reactions ingrained in victims of such abuse while showing the strength of character of these same victims. This book still has the humor you have come to expect from this series but it definitely explores the darker side of relationships and a situation that any one of us could find ourselves in.

Fans of this series should love this next installment and I highly recommend picking it up immediately!

Surprise contest prize will be given away to one lucky person, chosen at random from commenters over the next 3 days. It could be a book, could be an Amazon gift certificate, could be an E-ARC. You will just have to comment to find out, lol!
