One Night with the Bridesmaid – New Release from Sara Daniel (@SSaraDaniel) CONTEST

Sara Daniel is celebrating the release of One Night with the Bridesmaid, a 1Night Stand novella that follows the maid of honor from One Night with the Bride, with a CONTEST! Read on for the details....

Gifted with a 1Night Stand, Sabrina Lopez decides to use the chance to hook up with a man who knows how to give a woman pleasure—a man she’d never have the nerve to approach in real life. Madame Eve exceeds her expectations with the opportunity of a lifetime—and the man of her dreams, movie director Rob Wellington. He might be out of her league, but she’s willing to risk it all for one night.

Believing Sabrina responsible for breaking up his brother’s wedding, Rob sets out to stop her from scamming her way into the groom’s bed—even if he has to take his brother’s place. The last thing he expected to discover was a woman he could love and hold for the rest of his life—if he can convince her that he wants more than one night….

If you missed One Night with the Bride, here’s a peek at it. (Both books are stand-alone, so you can jump into either story and feel right at home!)

When her society matron mother presents Caroline with a one-night stand date a week
before her wedding, she’s appalled. Even worse, the encounter will take place at the fantasy ranch resort operated by her high school lover, Javier Alvarado. Although determined to remain faithful to her fiancĂ©, she’s tempted and intrigued to see her first love again. It’s not like she has to sleep with him.

But one look and kiss later, she yearns for the man she walked away from so long ago. Unfortunately, when Javier discovers Caroline is engaged, all he can see is deception and heartbreak all over again.

Can a 1Night Stand from Madame Eve reunite them or will one night with the bride sever their ties forever?

To celebrate the release of One Night with the Bridesmaid, enter the Rafflecopter for a chance to win a $10 Amazon gift card or a Captivating the CEO key chain.

~~ About LIA DAVIS ~~

Lia Davis is a mother to two young adults and two very special kitties, a wife to her soul mate, a paranormal romance author, graphic designer, and co-owner to Fated Desires Publishing, LLC. She and her family live in Northeast Florida battling hurricanes and very humid summers. But it’s her home and she loves it!

Her favorite things are spending time with family, traveling, reading, writing, chocolate, coffee, nature and hanging out with her kitties.




The Divinities Series by Lia Davis

Over three hundred years ago children were born to an elite group of witches that were unlike any of the other magical children. These children were born with a mark, a living tattoo of a single rose on the inside of the left forearm. They possess natural divine powers. The magical communities, called Covens, believed the children were gifts from the gods and called them The Divinities.

For decades the war between witches and demons seemed to diminish. Until recently. Two Divinities are missing. Three are dead, along with their spouses. The victims were among the Divinities appointed by Hecate to watch over the Sinew–the source of all magic.

Now it is up to the Divinities to keep the Sinew from the demons and protect magickin and the world from a fate far worse than anyone can imagine.


~~ Book One ~~

Forgotten Visions
Released July 2012
62,000 words
Blurb:

Kalissa Bradenton isn’t your average coffee shop owner. Born to an elite witch bloodline with a rare genetic mutation, she’s a Divinity on a mission. The death of her parents sends her away from her Maxville, Florida, home and into an ancient war between witches and demons. When childhood friend Ayden Daniels comes to her aid after an almost fatal accident, visions of a past she doesn’t remember sparks an old flame and new desires. With the past slowly becoming clearer, she eagerly sets her sights on mending Ayden’s heart and gaining his trust–until a ghost from her past returns to claim her as his demonic mate.
Ayden, the new Sheriff of Maxville and grandson of the oldest living Divinity, is investigating a series of Divinity killings. When he comes face-to-face with the one woman he hopes to have little to no contact with, old pain rises, quickly followed by anger and resentment. Through his rare power of adaptability, he learns actions from the past may not be what they seem. Hope fills his broken heart and determination pushes him to do whatever it takes to win Kalissa’s heart once more before he loses her forever.
Together they must find the strength to mend their tormented souls, while fighting an evil out to destroy the world.

~~ Book Two ~~

Death’s Storm
Released November 2012
About 42,000 words
Blurb:

Technical genius and demi-goddess--aka Divinity--Khloe Bradenton relies on no one for help, and she definitely doesn’t need comfort from anyone other than her twin. After her parents died by the demons’ hands over two years ago, she has graciously stepped up to her place in the war between demons and witches. When a creature far more dangerous than the ones responsible for killing her parents claims he is her guardian, she is torn between her desires for the dark predator and the painful loss she has endured at the hands of her enemies.

One of the last death demons still in existence, Jagger has pledged his life to the Goddess Hecate. Charged with the guardianship over the Divinities, he is never to approach them, but to aid them from a distance. When the firestorm, Khloe, sacrifices herself to save her twin and best friend and becomes the prey, he has no choice but to reveal himself to her. He is taken by surprise when the need to claim her as his own emerges. A desire he has never felt before could be more dangerous than the demons out to destroy them.

Lucky In Love - And Some Irish Kisses


WINNER!C D Krystal -- check your inbox xx


Out of courtesy to the entrants, I've hidden the comments section since so many of you added in an email address >> would hate to be the cause of you getting hit by spammers.

Many thanks to everyone who stopped by, and to Carrie Anne for bringing us all together for a rockin' lucky blog hop! WOOT

Happy Irish Week! Yeah, I know St. Pat's is just one day. But don't you just love how the days leading up to this day is one big happy go lucky week? *BIG GRIN*
The blog topic for this hop organized by the lovely Carrie Ann Ryan is Lucky in Love. But before I go there... how about you get lucky in books? There's two ways that can happen! Yeah, the leprechauns have been sprinkling their gold all over my blog.
First - there's a brand new Irish Kisses book out, 
FREE! It's book five. BUT it really can be read as a stand alone. Second. I'm giving away one lucky winner any ebook from my backlist. Yup ANY book from my backlist. Excluding all the Irish Kisses books. (CLICK THE LUCKY IN LOVE BLOG HOP IMAGE TO GO A HOPPING!)

LUCKY IN LOVE
Okay. So I've got loads I could talk about here, because I do feel uber lucky in love. I struck gold with my hubs. And I knew it on our first date. We have so much in common. But the first ka-ching! moment, what made me think this could be something serious, was when I discovered he also had a dislike for sports...esp football (soccer). Yeah. I'd had boyfriends in the past when lager and football was the be all and end all of everything. I'd had enough of that British lager-lout attitude and wanted a REAL man. And oh boy did I get my wish.
Not only do we have lots in common, but he's a sweetie pie. Really. He is. Sure, he knows how to rub me up the wrong way (as I do him) and yeah, his bad habits frustrate the heck out of me (as I'm sure mine do him) but he is always there for me. Always thinking of me before himself. And that's why I believe I am LUCKY IN LOVE.
Oh. And he's Welsh, too - Welsh Kisses for me! <<< oh, sound like a new series? LOL Mind you, the Welsh are more prone to drinking tea than whisky or Irish cream. Not so sexy. hehe

And I just love sharing the romance happies in my stories.
Talking of which...here's the latest. And did I mention, it's FREE!


 FREE READ!

Life couldn't be more perfect. Liz Grant has it all; a starring role in a major motion picture, a fabulous apartment central-London, and a great boyfriend who knows how to mix a mean cocktail and make her come with a flick of a switch. He works for Bell's Irish Pub, so she gets free drinks, too!

A surprise for St. Patrick's day. There's just one problem. Devlin Kinney wants to marry her. Like, now. And rip her away from her glamorous life. Why? So they can live happily ever after in a wee country cottage in the heart of Belfast, Ireland. What’s a city girl to do? He is Irish. And he does have a certain way with words. And vibrating toys. But does she love him enough to leave the comforts of England? And is there something behind his sudden proposal?


And now for a giggle! I made this trailer esp for this blog hop - yes. I put myself out there and showed the world JoAnne Kenrick CANNOT draw! LOL But it was a lot of fun trying ;) CLICK PLAY to giggle along and take a trip down Irish Kisses memory lane.



PROMO images - feel free to share them about as you wish. No. Really. Please. DO! hehe They're great for spreading the word on facebook, twitter, and your blogs.
Show the boys from Bell's from love.





WIN! COMMENT. That easy. Just comment. If we're not on any social networks together, or your blogger profile doesn't contain your email or a way to get in touch, please be sure to pop back to this post at the end of the blog to check if you won. You've got 48hrs to claim your prize. If I've not heard from you, or can't find a way to contact you, I'll pick another winner. What's the prize? An ebook from my backlist. Any ebook except an Irish Kisses book.

The Book Waitress is Serving Up Wicked Goodness! DEVIL DU JOUR & contest


It’s DEVIL DU JOUR Release Day and Deena Remiel is Serving Up More Wicked Goodness!
GUEST BLOG, Deena Remiel
BLURB:
The Book Waitress, Camille Dutton, has luck on her side. Good and bad. On the upside, she narrowly escaped death and Satan claiming her soul. On the downside, a portal has been opened, and she can feel every time a creature from Hell crosses over to our world.

Derek Galloway is one tenacious man. His curious nature won’t let him rest until he closes Hell’s portal and finds a cure for Camille’s affliction. Satan will have one helluva fight on his hands if he tries to claim her again.

Camille and Derek, an unlikely couple, have found each other in the darkest of times. Will they find the answers they need to free her and the world from Satan’s grip? Or are they in for the longest, darkest battle of their lives?

Wicked After Dark with Tales from the Coffin


Wicked After Dark

Blog Hop
October 24th through to November 1st
Wicked directs me straight to the supernatural ladies and story tellers from Tales from the Coffin. And what perfect reading for halloween, they make, especially since they have a brand new story to tell for Bonfire night that releases October 26th.....

CONTEST TO WIN TWO JOANNE KENRICK BACKLIST BOOKS
WINNER, BUFFY K - email has been sent to the email you provided. CONGRATS! And many thanks to everyone who stopped by and entered. I hope you all had a wicked awesome halloween

Estella  is better known as the Vampire  Queen of the Rejected due to her major Haversham complex; dumped at the altar, she's Dracula's rejected bride. And boy does she harp on it. Still wears her Victorian wedding dress, moth holes and all.
Lucy Rot  was a  sweet girl who had a rather bad experience with magic. Now she's a zombie and Estella's lover and, for lack of a better work, lacky.
Together, they lure the unsuspecting into their dark basement for a fix of darkly erotic twisted tales...and dinner!


Think story within a story. Great expectations mashed with Tales from the Crypt to make Red Shoe Diaries.  Estella is the new Elvira. Lucy is  the new Igor.

come meet The Bone Cruncher - Hot Summer Heroes Blog Hop

It's been a smokin' hot summer...so you should perhaps pump up that aircon because things are about to get hotter! A lot hotter. Almost 100 blogs offering prizes, have joined forces for a HAWT summer blog hop. And the theme? HOT SUMMER HEROS! Isn't the promo pic delicious?
Before I get started with my contribution to the hop, I firstly wanted to thank Caris Roane, H.D. Thomson, and Bella Media Management for organizing the blog hop.
Secondly, I wanted to just point out that at the bottom of my post is the link list with all the blogs participating so you can get to hopping right away. OR if you prefer,  you can click the smexy blog hop image to be taken to the 'blog hop hub' to find out more.

So...are you ready? Get set. Go!

Since Bittersweet Symphony JUST released (10th August) I'm going to talk about the dark and brooding Bone Cruncher from my Tales from the Coffin series. For me, there is nothing sexier than a creature of the night-sexy supernatural being-who lurks in the shadows and never reveals his deepest emotions unless he finds a woman worthy...and then he'll bare all! They're mysterious, they're dangerous, and they're almost forbidden. Angel. Yes. The vampire with a soul. he's my man! Well, he would be if I were a fictional character who could beat up Buffy (like anyone could beat her up) and play the damsel in distress to perfect. Because there was nothing Angel loves more than to safe a woman in need. And baby, I'm in need.
The Bone Cruncher is kinda based on Angel...and SPIKE. Brooding. Snarky. British. And hungry for love.


The Bone Cruncher's Song
Buy Track  - The Animal


The Lyrics (c) Disturbed THE ANIMAL



I can feel the animal inside
My resolve is weakening
Pounding at the doors of my mind
It's nearly overpowering
I cannot begin to describe
The hunger that I feel again
Run if you intend to survive
For the beast is coming to life

A little set up for those who haven't heard of the series before:

Estella, Vampire Queen of the Rejected,
royally invites you to join herself and her zombie lover for a fix of dark erotic tales sure to tickle your fancy and give you the shivers. But mind your manners, because she bites.

Click the ladies to discover more about this undead story teller and her sidekick waiting to entertain, or perhaps eat you.

Tales from the Coffin series to date, in order

Strange and Beautiful - out now
All the Pretty Faces - out now
Bittersweet Symphony - out now
Treacle and Treason - out October 26th 2012


And here's a little excerpt featuring my little cruncher, taken from All The Pretty Faces - Tales from the Coffin Book two.

I hope you Enjoy.

Estella, Vampire Queen of the Rejected, strutted back and forth across the basement, her feet clad in lace-up Victorian ankle boots. Once upon a time white, they were now scuffed and stained. The metal-tipped heels chipped at the aged floorboards as she shuffled like a tap dancer on speed. Her vampiric movements caused her raspberry-red hair to flap about like butterfly wings, disturbing the stale, dusty air.
“Keep this up, and our guest will think you’re one of Dracula’s Brides,” Lucy crooned, her Yorkshire accent as crass as her platinum hair.
She didn’t just go there, did she? Estella didn’t have time for a lovers’ tiff, because The Bone Cruncher was coming early. His energy drew closer, raw and dripping with testosterone.
The strange tingle of nerves in her stomach wasn’t her style. Had she succumbed to lusting after men again? Or was it plain old hunger? Must be the latter. She had a sexy bombshell to quench her desires of the flesh—albeit rotting zombie flesh—and she’d sworn herself off men since the whole stood-up-at-the-altar-by-Dracula thing two centuries ago.
“Lucy, be a dear and send him down here, would you?”
“Send who downstairs?” Footsteps from above. Heavy. Masculine. They drew the blonde’s glance upward, and she sniffed the air. Recognition hit her expression. “The Bone Cruncher? How did you do that?”


WIN either book one (Strange and Beautiful) or book two (All the Pretty Faces) from the Tales from the Coffin series.

CONTEST CLOSED - winner June M

What reviews are saying about
Sweet Irish Kiss:
"Your Panties will be bunching and you will be sitting on the edge of your chair to wait and see what goodies Shaun has packed in his overnight bag ** grins **"-- Kat, Pageflipperz

Ms. Kenrick's writing style flows nicely throughout the story. Her attention stays more on the characters rather than the setting which is fitting for the genre of the novella. I like her ability to dig deep within the characters feelings allowing them to step up and tell their story. It is as if the author really took the back seat on this one. Very well written indeed! JoAnne Kenrick knows how to write unique, if not quirky, characters that stay with me long after I've finished reading their stories." -- Talina, Night Owl Reviews
