Join me in celebrating the summer with Rebel Ink Press on their third birthday. Follow the link on the bottom to hop to the next blog and enter for a chance for a Kindle paperwhite and an author swag bag.
The things I love most about summer are the smell of fresh cut grass, bright colored flowers, lemonade, the sound of the surf, cotton candy, and the beautiful sand down the Jersey Shore. The best part is sitting under an beach umbrella reading a romance novel.
A Summer's Journey, my contemporary romance, was released in May.
A chance encounter offers Savannah Mason a season of change.
BLURB
Savannah Mason, the
career minded journalist, spends long hours at work, hoping to take the spot as
anchor. She continues to fight for
independence and refuses to allow her demanding father to take control of her
life, despite his wish for her to take over his surgical practice.
On her darkest day twelve years ago, she
agreed to give her baby up for adoption.
Now, on her daughter’s birthday, a chance encounter gives Savannah
Rob Sinclair a
renowned surgeon and NY Times best-selling author has a new release and needs a
promo spot on the television show, The News Stop. When Savannah
The last thing she
wants is a relationship, especially one with a divorced, doctor who happens to
have two small children.
A man, who seems
all wrong for her, slowly weaves himself into her heart. Can he accept her when he learns about her
past?
Rob’s commitment to
climb the ladder of success and provide a good life for his family, keeps him
on the road for days at a time. When he
meets the assertive newswoman, desire and passion awaken his broken
spirit. How will he ever be able to
trust another woman?
EXCERPT
“I’m happy here.” Savannah
Rob slowly
approached her. The look in his eyes told her he had more than the view on his
mind. Savannah Savannah
Rob’s expression made him look as if he broke the
law. He quickly took a step back. “I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry for
my rude behavior.”
“You weren’t
rude. I didn’t stop you.”
“I don’t
know what got into me. You’re an amazing woman and I find you terribly
attractive.” He stared deep into her eyes.
“Thank you.” Savannah
“I’d like to take you on a real date. Would that be
possible? Is it against your ethics to date someone you’re working with?”
“There’s no rule against dating a guest on the
show. I make my own rules.” Savannah
“That’s what I like about you. You’re not afraid of
taking a risk. I could tell from the moment I met you, you were a strong,
independent woman.”

SPOTLIGHT AUTHOR OLIVIA STARKE
DIRTY LOVE
I love a hot paranormal read. Give me shifters, vampires,
ghosts, or zombies and I’m hooked. An author who can twist the laws of the
natural world into some equally outlandish and believable is a true thing of
beauty.
Perhaps that’s why I enjoy writing paranormal, attempting to
take the unbelievable and make it real to my readers. It’s a challenge but at
the same time liberating. I don’t have to abide by rules, by laws; I only have
to follow my imagination.
With Dirty Love I’ve thrown in vampire and werewolf fun, but
I don’t let the reader know who is what in the beginning. I’ve also thrown in
some twists, so reader, keep on your toes!
Leave a comment with
an email about your favorite paranormal author for a chance to win an ecopy
of Dirty Love.

other stops for more chances to enter! The more stops you drop by, the more
entries I’ll put into randompicker.com!
BLURB
Kat
goes on the prowl looking for a one night stand to rile up her new friends. A
little shock and awe to keep her sane in a life no longer hers. When she’s
matched with Jared through 1Night Stand, he seems perfect for her plans.
Conservative, sweet, and sexy as sin, she’s ready for one hell of a ride.
But
Jared is more than she bargained for—much more. And when her plans for
amusement turn dangerous will the two find a way to stay alive?
EXCERPT
“Come on.” She winked. “You don’t have to do anything you
don’t want to do.”
“I thought these things were urban legend. I never imagined
I’d see one in real life.”
His date’s gaze glimmered with mischief. “There are lots of
big hairy surprises out there for those brave enough to search for them.”
“Like you, for one.” He cleared his throat. “Except for the
hairy part. I hope, anyway.”
A slight blush colored her cheeks, and he brushed his
knuckles over the soft skin there. Shadows marred the smoothness beneath her
eyes. Had she been sick? Or maybe her party girl lifestyle drew out too much.
She stepped back.
“Cowboy up, sugar.” She grasped his hand and pulled him
forward, again surprising him with her power. Under the softness of her curves
lay a fair amount of muscle. He swallowed. She could ride him without tiring,
take his maddened pounding for hours. It’d take all night to spend the pent up
energy boiling in his veins. He’d passed the point of return; jerking off
wouldn’t satiate his needs. Without sex, and soon, he’d run howling through the
streets, a crazed animal.
After taking an elevator to the basement level of the
parking garage, she led him to a red door and rapped on its freshly painted
surface. Dark corners closed in on them. The hairs on his arms and neck rose.
He sensed being watched. More cameras.
Were as many inside? And maybe a live Internet feed his family could run across
in some improbable way?
Don’t create imaginary monsters. He squared his shoulders.
A partition slid open. Dark eyes narrowed, focusing on Kat
who lifted a pale brow. The panel slammed closed, and Jared let a small sigh
slip. Could he be off the hook? This night had turned out to be more than he’d
bargained for, leaving him ready to tuck tail and run. Find somewhere else to
indulge his feral wants with his date. The door swung open, and the odor of
incense assaulted him. His escape option evaporated.
BIO
Olivia
Starke calls the Ozarks home. One of the most beautiful areas in the country,
she loves hiking trails with her dogs, kayaking on the numerous waterways, and
enjoying southern Missouri's fresh air and sunshine.
She's
also 'Mom' to four dogs, a growing number of kitties that show up at her door,
and four VERY spoiled horses that do little to earn their keep. Not that she'd
ever hold that against them.
She's a
HUGE fangirl of Doctor Who and to a lesser extent Supernatural,
and has a pretty interesting love triangle (or square?) going on in her head
between the Doctor and the Winchesters.
BOOK BLITZ ~AUTHOR TARYN KINCAID
.jpg)
BLURB:
Sent into the human
realm to retrieve prodigal princess, Zena Night, Bhyrne Raines is shocked and
unprepared for his carnal reaction to the sexy succubus. In service to the
succubus queen, the rugged enforcer must stifle the instant passion exploding
within him. Fulfilling his royal duty doesn’t allow for quickie dalliances. His
biological clock is ticking, and he begins to enter breedspawn, an intense and unstoppable frenzy of mating all
fire-demon males must endure. But the more he wants to avoid Zena, the more
he’s drawn to her.
Reluctant to give up
her carefree life of partying among the mortals when the hot-as-sin Bhyrne
comes to fetch her for the queen, Zena uses her succubus wiles to entice him,
or at least delay the inevitable trip to the royal court. Once in the demon
stronghold, hidden deep within the Catskill mountains, she learns the reason
for the summons: she must choose a consort within two days.
Zena needs a mate.
Bhyrne needs to mate. With time
running out for both of them, they each turn to 1Night Stand. With
time running out, can Madame Eve come to the rescue?
EXCERPT:
Holy freeze
gun, Batman. The words died before she managed to expose them to air. Her
mouth snapped shut.
One of the Queen’s guards stood before her, huge and
tall, nearly twice the size of most of the other males in the joint, a hella
hunka supernatural male. Clearly not human, although Hugo Boss’d to his Adam’s
apple in an apparent bid to fit in among the humans trolling for hot sex,
illicit drugs, watered-down booze and loud music. Beneath the fabric of the
unstructured designer suit, the toned muscles of a demonic warrior rolled like
tidal waves. Even without the small lapel pin the uninformed might mistake for
the The Rolling Stones’ logo, she’d recognize him for a captain of the guard.
Maybe the Queen’s own Captain.
Hellfire
and cotton candy.
Trouble. T-R-O-U-B-L-E.
But,
by the goddess, whattahottie!
Despite her certainty that his presence in the club corridor boded ill for her,
the force of her sudden hunger shook her.
Like lightning.
Thunder.
A desperate bolt out of the
blue.
Instant connection to him on
the paranormal plane, as if he’d wrapped her aura in gold chains and tugged her
to him. But did that fast lane to heaven run one way or two?
A grim expression
straightened the lines of what otherwise might have been a generous, sensuous
mouth. A military buzz cut had weed-whacked hair the color of iron. And it
didn’t stop there. Without doubt, metal fortified every single cell in the
massive male’s body, pure titanium flowing in his veins. The stern planes and
angles of a hard-edged, swoon-worthy face set grimly as cement. Though he
lounged in the hallway like any Archie or Jughead waiting in line to discharge
his rented beer in a urinal, he exuded authority, his carriage and bearing such
that he made the others look like a pack of Twizzlers. Oh. Yeah. More than a
mere guardsman, she guessed. An enforcer.
Ruh-roh.
Taryn is an Olympic caliber athlete egg roller and spends a great
deal of her time petitioning the U.S.O.C. to introduce a fantail shrimp
competition. When she's not bungee jumping off the Palisades or parasailing up
and down the Hudson River , she devotes her
time to caring for her aging pet walrus, arranging her voodoo doll-pin
collection and practicing rhythmic chants. At this moment, she is busy sweeping
up the loose masala chai tea leaves she spilled all over the kitchen floor. (Probably
because she needs COFFEE.) Wait. Is that something…sparkly?
Taryn hangs around a lot on Facebook and Twitter with her trillions of fans and pops in
at Goodreads from time to time. You can catch her on her website, http://tarynkincaid.com, and her

CAN A SEX-STARVED WITCH FIND A MAN WHO CAN KEEP UP WITH HER IN THE SLEEPY TOWN OF BARTLETT, NEW HAMPSHIRE? HOW WILL SHE CONVINCE THE SHY CLERK AT THE LOCAL STORE TO TAKE A CHANCE ON LOVE?
BLURB
The passionate, sex-starved witch, Freya Meyer is tired of wasting time with unsatisfying lovers. She’s in search of a man who can keep up with her. Prospects are slim in Bartlett, the sleepy little town in the White Mountain Region of New Hampshire.
A sultry stranger with a French accent behind the counter at the
Country Store is new to town. Family commitment and an unsettled past leads
Paul Marton back to his childhood roots. On the rebound from a scandalous
romance, Paul tries to ignore Freya’s advances, and he doesn’t let on how he
falls prey to her seductive ways.
When Paul ignores her advances, Freya knows what she must do. A
love spell is bound to cast the shy stranger straight into her arms. With the
help of the full moon, Freya’s wishes may come to fruition. Can a lonely witch
capture one night with her dream lover… walk away, and never look back? Is
there a way to tame a wild witch’s heart?
Here's where you can find me. I love to make new friends!

Freya
watched Paul as he strutted down the stairs and slowly ran her tongue around
her lips. One look at his broad shoulders and thick thighs made her mouth
water. I can hardly stand it.
Paul
returned from downstairs and she noticed his penetrating stare.
“Come
upstairs to my place and I’ll pay you.”
“Thank
you. Do you want me to bring the other items up there?”
“No,
you can leave them here. I’ll take care of it” You’ll need all the energy
you can get. Freya could
sense his eyes follow her every move as she led the way. Happy she wore a
thong, she escorted her dream man upstairs to her apartment.
Once
inside, she closed the door and fastened the double lock. “Sit down for a
minute while I get my wallet.”
Freya
pointed to an upholstered, floral sofa, with red velvet throw pillows. Instead
of a door, colored beads separated the living room from the bedroom.
“This
place is great. I don’t recall it being here.”
“Thank
you,” she responded. “It’s my little hideaway.”
“I’ve
never seen it and I lived in town for years.” He ran his hand through his hair
and smiled. “I’m back to help at my mother’s store.”
“Oh,
I see. That’s why I never saw you before.”
Freya’s
mind raced with visions of how he would look without a shirt. “I’ve been here a
few years. There’s a little rooftop space for entertaining outside.”
“You
did a great job of decorating in here.” He ran his hand over the luxurious
velvet pillow. His gaze fixed on her. His legs spread sending shivers down her
spine.
Freya
felt the heat between her thighs. The sexual tension took over her entire body.
“I’ll be right back.”
