Waking Beauty by Nikki Prince

About the Book: 
Aurora Devine's libido has been asleep for over eight years. She's had the curse of not being able to have the big O since running away from her master Felipe Santiago Castro. The last time she came at the hand of a man it was with Felipe. Fearing what would happen if she let go with him completely she'd run.

Convinced the only way she will find peace of mind and pleasure is to go to Once Upon a Dream Fantasies she signs up for a time of pleasure asking for everything she'd lost eight years before to be fulfilled in a fantasy.

Felipe would show her that he was her only fantasy. He'd do anything to have her back in his life as his submissive. He'll play along and give her the fantasy she wants but in the end she'd realize that her submissiveness called to his dominance and they were a matched pair.

Fun Fact About the Book:
While writing this story I got the idea to write several BDSM naughty fairy tales linking all of them together.  So far I have a total of three others set to come out in May and June. I'm currently working on the fifth book.

Sage: The Fall of Onagros by Marian Allen

About the Book: 
Usurper. Lost Heir. Runaway bride. Land on the brink of civil war. All so familiar, until Tortoise -- the Divine Creature who ignores the rules of right and wrong -- challenges his fellow divinities to meddle.

Suddenly, children targeted for murder are adopted, swordsmen turn into blacksmiths, and none are reliably who or what they seem. The four Divine Animals are afoot: Tortoise, Dragon, Unicorn, and Phoenix. Hold on tight.

In the first book of the SAGE trilogy, a legacy is lost, a woman vanishes into thin air, wisdom is found in unexpected places, and a man hopes to defeat a tyrant with tall tales and gossip.
 
Fun Fact About the Author:
I worked on this book for nearly twenty years before I had it in a form that satisfied me, completing several other novels and any number of short stories in the meantime. Our youngest daughter grew up hearing various versions. She recently told me it was somewhat depressing to realize that the character she grew up having a crush on is too young for her now.

Egyptian Heart by Kathryn Meyer Griffith

About the Book: 
Maggie Owen is a beautiful, spirited Egyptologist…but lonely. Even being in Egypt on a grant from the college she teaches at to search for an undiscovered necropolis she’s certain lies below the sands beyond the pyramids of Gizah doesn’t give her the happiness she’d hoped it would.

There has always been and is something missing. Love.

Then her workmen uncover Ramose Nakh-Min’s ancient tomb and an amulet from his sarcophagus hurls her back to 1340 B.C – where she falls hopelessly in love with the man she was destined to be with, noble Ramose, who faithfully serves the heretic Pharaoh Akhenaton and his queen Nefertiti. But she’s fallen into perilous times with civil war threatening Egypt. She’s been mistaken for one of Ramose’s runaway slaves and with her blond hair, jinn green eyes and fair skin she doesn’t fit in. Some say she’s magical and evil. Ramose’s favorite, Makere, attempts to kill her.

The people, angry the pharaoh Akhenaton has set his queen Nefertiti aside and he’s forced them to worship his god, Aton (instead of their many Egyptian gods), are rising up against him. And Maggie’s caught in the middle of it in a dangerous land and time she doesn’t belong in. In the end, desperately in love with Ramose, will she find a way to stay alive and with him in ancient Egypt; to make a difference in his world and history–or will the amulet send her back to her own time?

Because Maggie has finally found love.

Fun Fact About the Author:
I've always dreamed of being sent back in time to ancient Egypt...so I wrote a book where I (or the main character in this case) did.

Dancing with Detective Danger by Lynn Crandall

About the Book: 

Uncovering secrets and exposing truth are all in a day’s work for private investigator Sterling Aegar. But when her latest case threatens to reveal her own buried feelings for an old love, Sterling runs for cover.

A body in the bathtub and pleas from a jilted wife to find her wayward husband mean a welcome break from the usual humdrum cases Sterling and her sister, Lacey, are called to investigate. But when Sterling’s old flame, Detective Ben Kirby, walks into the murder scene, she feels her world spin out of control.

Danger from thugs and murderers poses no greater threat than the peril she’d suffer if she lets daredevil Ben get too close.

Seeing Sterling for the first time in two years is for Ben like drinking in a healing tonic. He could never forget the way it felt to run his hands over her delicious curves or the way she touched his soul. She remains the one person who can make the emptiness in his gut go away. Finding the murderer is his job, but protecting Sterling from seriously dangerous people is his mission.

As the case unfolds, Sterling and Ben not only solve the murder and locate the missing husband, they confront secrets that set them each free from a painful past.
 
Fun Fact About the Book: 
The story is set in fictional Laurlewood, a town that was inspired by Champaign-Urbana Illinois.

A lost dream, a desperate hope...lost innocence, and a horror black as night.


A young girl's innocence is ripped from her when she is turned against her will into a vampire. Hunted and alone, Fleurette longs for escape from her hellish existence of eternal night, blood-letting and carnage.

In war-torn Afghanistan, another young girl, Ruhee has been cast into another kind of dark bondage as a child bride. Raped, tormented and suffering, she longs for escape. These two lost souls find a strange but pure form of sisterly love together as they survive side-by-side in a world gone mad. Ruhee must grow up amid war and turmoil.



As if American predator drones and the deadly raids of the Taliban were not bad enough, she must keep her "sister"'s dark secret, while merciless vampire hunters lurk in the shadows.

When Ruhee comes of age and finds an unlikely but pure love with a brave but deeply troubled young Taliban soldier named Batal, Ruhee finds herself trapped between light and darkness. Her heart is torn in two, and she must make an impossible choice between love and immortality, as her young life teeters on the brink of hell.

Win a Copy of our Book of the Month: Foxfire by Sandra L. Ireland


Meet author Sandra L. Ireland & check out 
our Featured Book of the Month 
today at the Book Boost!


You always know you’ve read a good book when you can’t see the last page for tears. Well, seriously, who doesn’t enjoy a good cry? I think the best books should have you laughing out loud and sniffling your way through a man-size box of tissues all the way to the end, and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes certainly fits the bill.

I haven’t read any of Moyes’ books before but a friend handed me this one with the usual, "You MUST read this!" Sometimes that puts me off. We all have very different tastes and more than once I’ve ploughed my way through a story thinking what did they see in this?

Me Before You is different. It is a brave departure from the usual boy meets girl romance, because (and I don’t want to give any spoilers here) Will, the hero, is quadriplegic. A hero he certainly is, although he’s angry, frustrated and very difficult to deal with. That task falls to Louisa, who, having recently been made redundant from The Buttered Bun, applies for a job as his carer. This is not a slushy romance, it is more about the forging of a lifelong friendship, which is the basis for the best love stories. But how long is lifelong?

The book deals with some emotive and current issues, but hapless Louisa provides some real laugh out loud moments. The characters are well-written and believable and the storyline compelling. You MUST read this book!

Although I do like chicklit and would love to write this kind of fiction, my first love is the paranormal. My debut novella Foxfire is a dark tale set in modern-day Edinburgh. I did some research into ancient Japanese myth to come up with my hero, Reyner. His grandfather was a kitsune, a supernatural fox-spirit and Reyner has inherited his shapeshifting abilities. He is dark, mysterious and sexy, plays the fiddle and lingers in the shadows.

What’s not to like? Psychic Myrrh needs all the help she can get when faced with  streetslip, a phenomenon which is allowing grisly figures from the past to enter the present. Find out what happens when Myrrh’s best friend Willow disappears while leading a ghost walk around a haunted Edinburgh cemetery!

My work in progress is entitled An Arrangement of Skin and I would describe it as a Gothic tale. It’s not supernatural this time, but is decidedly creepy, with a villainous female taxidermist. I love stories to reveal themselves to me as I write and this one is actually scaring me. In fact, I can only write it in the morning and not last thing at night…


A Note from the Book Boost:  Wow!  That new book you're penning sounds amazing and totally creepy.  Can't wait.  Thanks for the other book recommendation.  How nice of you to give a shout out for another another.  Please tell us more about your current release.


Blurb:


Modern-day Edinburgh. Psychic Myrrh devotes her days to contacting other people’s lost loved ones, all the while waiting for a sign that never comes from her dear departed Frank. Meanwhile, in the vaults and alleyways of the Old Town, the phenomenon of streetslip is growing stronger, tearing down the walls of time and allowing grisly characters from the past to prey on the present. Someone else’s problem? Myrrh thinks so, until her best friend Willow disappears and then it suddenly becomes personal. Enter Reyner, the irresistible stranger who has emerged from the shadows to turn Myrrh’s world upside down. Has he been sent to protect her, as he claims? Or is he hiding a dark, unearthly secret of his own?

Excerpt:

He raised his head slowly, assessing me beneath inky lashes. A cold deadliness flared in his eyes but it was so fleeting I suspected I’d imagined it. The words unknown quantity throbbed like hazard lights in my brain.

“I was sent to help you with the streetslip,” he said quietly.

I went immediately into denial. “Not my problem. I don’t see what it’s got to do with me.” I paced fretfully, my feet punctuating my agitation, toying with the little silver amulet around my neck.

“It will involve everyone,” the stranger warned. “And you’ll need more protection than that. That’s why they sent me. Mankind has meddled with the Earth Energies and disturbed the boundaries of space and time.” He pushed away from the table and checked me out, waiting to see if I was getting this. I stopped in front of him and he continued gently. “You think you deal in the past, with those who have gone before. You wait, day after day, for a message from your dead husband.” 

I gasped and he held up a hand, his voice soft. “It’s not going to happen. There is only the eternal now. Time is parallel, not linear. You humans think they have it logged, with your chronology and your calendars. But it isn’t like that. These characters that people are seeing in the streetslip are flesh-and-blood people, living their own lives. It’s as if the ages are separated by windows. You can see through enough to understand and to learn, but all your dabbling has shattered the glass.”

I wanted to scream at him. His jibe about Frank’s message had wounded me, because it was way too close to the truth. And parallel time? An alternative reality? I pressed my fingers to my temples.

"Look, whoever sent you, I don’t know if I can deal with this right now.”

Caution: Electrical Hazard by Allen Watts

About the Book: 

Clear weather on a beautiful summer day turns into a frighteningly huge storm.

Two lives are greatly affected; a washed up pro golfer and a National Guard pilot. They both are struck by lightning and suffer the same injuries and after effects. Bobby Thomas and Capt. Tony Burns each beat the odds and survive the deadly strike, but the storm super cell has created an electromagnetic pulse. It has chemically and magnetically altered their bodies on the sub atomic level giving them a telekinetic power that enables them both to move and control small objects.

A government agency, DARPA, wants to use their ‘gift’ for different reasons. Tony uncovers the plot and goes into hiding. Bobby wants to use his new found power to further a lost career, but a gambling debt catches up to him. Denied the fame and luxuries of her husband’s misspent youth, Sherry Thomas schemes to jump start her husband’s path to golfing stardom, at the same time eliminating his sordid past.

Together, Tony and Bobby form an uneasy alliance. Their lives change as they combine attributes to defeat those trying to use them for their own sinister means. A runaway division of the Defense Department, unsuspecting doctors and scientists, corrupt lawyers, gamblers and murder face them each step of the way.

Lost in Manhattan by Emma Carlyle

About the Book: 

One by one members of the Montgomery family have died in tragic accidents. Sarah Montgomery, the last surviving member of the aeronautics dynasty, suffers amnesia and extensive injuries that leave her unrecognizable when she’s hit by a cab. Industrialist Trent Caldwell already harbors guilt over the death of his wife and now feels responsible for Sarah’s injuries. After her surgery, he brings her to his home to recuperate. Mrs. Kearn, his housekeeper and surrogate mother, sees in Sarah someone capable of bringing Trent back to life. She begins playing matchmaker.

But the Montgomery family deaths weren’t accidents. Someone harbors a deadly secret and using skills perfected as a youthful IRA operative, has systematically eliminated the family out of a need for revenge. Realizing Sarah’s true identity, the assassin now has one more kill to make in order to fulfill a promise made long ago. 

Fun Fact About the Book:
I don't know if this is fun so much as it's interesting. This book was once rejected by an editor because she didn't believe that amnesia was a real condition. This is kind of ironic, given I wrote the book in part to come to terms with my own experience with amnesia.

Family Tradition by Pamela Turner

About the Book:

Artist Rick Stanton needs a commission. He faces eviction from his apartment and his latest project is on hiatus. Worse, his muse refuses to cooperate. A recent letter may contain the inspiration he needs. Inside is the photograph of a mysterious woman, her face hidden by an umbrella. But there’s no identification, no way for him to contact her. A month later, another envelope arrives, this time with a phone number. Realizing this may be his last chance, Rick calls her. The woman introduces herself as Elizabeth and tells him she wants him to paint her portrait.

Rick agrees, only to learn there are conditions. Elizabeth is a recluse who lives with her two servants in a Victorian manor. She never allows her face to be seen. Not only must he stay at Elizabeth’s residence while painting her, he can’t leave, nor can he ever tell anyone about the portrait.

Sensing something isn’t right, Rick is even more disturbed by the sinister undercurrent beneath the household’s genteel façade. It’s somehow connected to the family portraits hanging in Elizabeth’s living room. Could they be haunted? And why doesn’t Elizabeth’s housekeeper want Rick to finish the painting? 

Fun Fact About the Author

I wanted to be an artist before I wanted to be a writer. When I was in kindergarten, I drew a kangaroo in red crayon on the end papers of a library book. Needless to say, my debut effort didn’t impress my parents.

Red Dahlia by Ross S. Simon

About the Book: 

When he retires from the First World War to a colonial Indian life of peace, Commodore Clifford Selickton RN is unaware of the blood about to be spilled through that which he unleashes. Selickton takes a beautiful young priestess, Virhynda, for a wife, and they bear a darling little child…a child who, horrifyingly, is prophesized to become the very incarnation of the dread Kali-Ma, East Indian goddess of blood sacrifice.

The mind-bending examples they witness of random people receiving their doom are, in fact, only preludes to the hideous, demonic goal of the Blood-Mother: conquest of the earth, to cover it in a maelstrom of hellish flame and mangled flesh that will consume all mankind. Worst of all, Kali aims to achieve this by striking at the very heart of the civilized world…and it might take a miracle from the Hindu gods themselves to stop her once and for all.

Fun Fact About the Book: 
The story, Red Dahlia, was inspired by a decision to explore the mythos in a horror novel of Kali, from hearing about the deity mentioned in the film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

The auburn-haired courtesan he calls “Kitten” is in truth Katherine, Lady Egerton, a dowager baroness and the daughter of an earl as elusive as she is alluring. She flees a fate worse than death. But Martin has known darkness, too, and he alone can touch her heart--as she has touched his. To the English Midlands they will steal, into the rising winds of revolution.

Maggie West has endured the worst luck: abusive relationships, cheating husbands, an emotionally-destructive mother, a daughter’s bout with cancer, and a slew of last-resort jobs. A natural giver, she loses herself in others to the brink of numbness, isolation, and disillusion. However, when she joins a social network to fight her loneliness, Maggie encounters a beautiful man— who is full of lies. As a game, she allows herself to be willfully deceived, and in the process, gets wrapped into an experience that awakens her mind, body, and sexuality in ways she never imagined possible.

Castle Bravo by Karna Small Bodman

About the Book: 

White House Director of Homeland security, Samantha Reid, receives intelligence about a possible new threat to the country's national security. The idea is staggering. What if a hostile country or group gets hold of a small nuclear device and then, instead of aiming it at one of our cities, they intend to detonate it high in the atmosphere? The result would be the creation of an Electro-Magnetic Pulse or "EMP" sending shock waves that would "fry" all electronics on the ground in its line of site. There would be no electricity, no internet, no computers, no communications, no transportation, no refrigeration and no ATMs...it would set us back to the year 1910!

Could it happen here? White House officials are too skeptical and too focused on other threats to pay attention to Samantha's warnings. The love of her life, Tripp Adams is sent on a business trip to a foreign country where just such a plot is simmering. Will Tripp become embroiled? Will he be trapped overseas while Samantha races to pull a team together to foil a sinister plot?

This gripping tale spans the globe and is filled with international action and political intrigue at the highest levels, made all too real by the author's "inside The White House" details. It gives the reader a seat at the table in the Situation Room, the meetings in the Oval Office, and the frantic search for a way out. It's a trip on a wild ride of an all-too-real scenario for the future of our country.

Fun Fact About the Author:
The author served 6 years in The White House, first as Deputy Press Secretary, later as Senior Director of the National Security Council.

Sooner Than Gold by J.R. Lindermuth

About the Book:


It’s the summer of 1898. The nation, just coming out of an economic slump, has been at war with Spain since April. And Sylvester Tilghman, sheriff of Arahpot, Jordan County, Pennsylvania, has a murder victim with too many enemies. 


There’s Claude Kessler, who is found standing with a knife in his hand over the body of Willis Petry. And Rachel Webber, Petry’s surly teen-aged stepdaughter, who admits an act intended to cause him harm. Then there’s the band of gypsies who claim Petry is the goryo who stole one of their young women. 

If this isn’t enough to complicate Tilghman’s life, add in threats to his job by McClean Ruppenthal, former town burgess; a run-in with a female horse thief; scary predictions by a gypsy fortuneteller, and the theft of Doc Mariner’s new motorcar. 

Fun Fact About the Book:
Gypsies were known as the Black Dutch in the 18th and 19th centuries in Pennsylvania.

Banking on Temperance by Becky Lower


About the Book: 

Basil Fitzpatrick was born into a life of privilege. In 1856, at 23 years of age, he is the owner of the St. Louis branch of the family banking business. He has his pick of the ladies and life by the horns. Temperance Jones and her family are far from privileged. Her father is a circuit-riding preacher from Pennsylvania. But the rumblings of a war between the North and the South force the preacher to move his family to Oregon rather than to take up arms against his fellow man. However, hardship and sickness have slowed their pace, and they are forced to spend the winter in St. Louis, waiting for the next wagon trains to leave in the spring.

Basil is drawn to the large family the moment they roll into town, partly because they remind him of his own big family in New York. But also because of the eldest daughter, Temperance. She is a tiny, no-nonsense spitfire who is bent on fulfilling her father’s wish to get the family safely to Oregon. Basil is only interested in finding a mistress, not a wife. He knows if he allows Temperance into his heart, he is accepting the obligation of her entire family and their quest to settle in Oregon. He wants Temperance like he has wanted no other, but the burden of her family may be too much for him. And he can’t have one without the other. 

Fun Fact About the Author:
Becky has been writing westerns for a long time. At age 11, she won a contest offered by her local newspaper. The phrase that needed to be used was "How did you get that thing around your neck?" So I wrote about Tom Dooley's hanging!
