VAMPIRE TERRITORY 1: DRINKING PARTNERS by @AllieRitch,

Being the master vampire for the Mid-Atlantic Territory is a tough job. Between the Human Rebellion trying to kill him with poisonous suicide donors and snobby born vampires bucking his authority, Lucas Thane has his hands full. What he needs is a regular drinking partner to feed from and a bigger power block. He finds both in the form of Alexandra Gage, the master of the territory south of his.

Alex could use a little help herself, but she has no intention of letting Lucas take over. Turned into a vampire against her will, she has had enough control taken from her. She’ll never let Lucas usurp her right to rule, but will she let him steal her heart? Passion ignites between them, and it’s amazing what vampire bodies can do.

Unable to deny his own translucence, Dr. Jason Bowen determines his lack of physical substance could only mean one thing—he's a ghost.

When Lanie O'Keefe arrives with plans to renovate her newly purchased Victorian mansion, Jason discovers, ghost or not, he's still very much a man. Despite its derelict condition and haunted reputation, Lanie couldn't be happier with her new home, but then she has no idea a spirit follows her every move throughout the day and shares her captivating warmth at night. Jason soon discovers he can travel through Lanie's dreams and finds himself reliving the days before his murder with Lanie by his side. It took one hundred and twenty years for love to find them, but there's that insurmountable little matter of Jason being dead.

Old Enough to Know Better, a cougar-licious romantic comedy by Joan Reeves, is available at Amazon as well as All Romance eBooks, iBooks, Kobo, Nook, and Smashwords, with audio editions at Audible and iTunes.

Every woman makes mistakes. Meet Stormy Clarkson, haunted by the three whoppers she made that changed her life. Now on the brink of a momentous birthday, she's crushing on a younger man--totally gorgeous, sexy Sean Butler, owner of Sierra Verde Winery.

Sean's been after her for six months, but she's resisted every advance. She can't risk another mistake, and Sean tempts her way too much. Then, one night he kisses her.

She can't forget that kiss, but, armed with iron self-control and the desire never to risk her heart, she's determined to deny what she feels for him.

Sean, once an interrogator for the U.S. Army, knows a lie when he hears one, and that's all he hears in Stormy's icy refusals. He's savvy enough to recognize a control freak when he sees one. He's also smart enough to know the only way to deal with a control freak is to make her lose control, and he has a plan to do just that.

He's prepared to "Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome," and do whatever it takes to win her heart.

Older woman? Yes! Younger man! Yes! Funny and HOT? OMG! Yes, yes, yes!

I can't remember which blurb I shared last week! LOL. I need to keep a record of such things apparently, so at the risk of repeating myself, here's the blurb for Dance In My Heart, which is only .99 cents on Amazon because it's novella length.

http://www.amazon.com/Romance-Contemporary-Novella-Native-American-ebook/dp/B00F7JVGH0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421883510&sr=8-1&keywords=Dance+in+My+Heart

Sticks and stones...

Candice Lincoln is waiting for her big break. Journalism, at least when it comes to war corresponding, is still a man's game. When she's handed a fluff story to cover a group of Native American dancers in the midwest, the last thing she wants to do is drop everything and abandon her desk in the city.

Hawk Manone is proud of himself and the people to which he was born. Sure, they have their problems from years of neglect, discrimination and overt hostility, but if they work together, he knows that his people can become proud again. That's why he volunteers his time as part of a dance team that helps to educate the white population as much as his own.

He never thought his desire to teach the general population about his Nation would lead to falling in love with a woman as pure, and as white, as the driven snow.

But then... Even the snow isn't white once it gets dirty.

And when it comes to journalism, apparently, "dirty" is the name of the game.

I'm reading E. Ayers A Rancher's Woman at the moment, so I'm happy to see another blurb topping the list :)

Barb Caffrey said...

I'm also reading E. Ayers' "A Rancher's Woman," Marjorie! :-) So great minds think alike, and all that...

Anyway, on to the blurb share! It's for my YA urban fantasy/romance "An Elfy on the Loose," which is currently on sale at ninety-nine cents. It is a full-length novel and it's rated PG (at most).

This is my short blurb:

Bruno the Elfy believes he’s very young, has no power, and has no enemies.

He’s wrong.

Quickly sent to our Earth (the Human Realm) and told to watch for magic, Bruno must unravel the lies, keep his mentor from being tortured, and—oh, yeah—figure out why he’s so strongly attracted to young, Human Sarah.

Because his life depends on it.
