Book Blurb:
The battle between vampires and wraiths begins…
It’s going to be okay, Lucas, I thought. We’re dead, but we can still be together. Nothing matters more than that. We’re stronger than death. Now nothing else ever has to come between us. You and I never have to be apart again.
My Thoughts:

To save his life, Lucas has been turned, now he has to deal with the knowledge that he has joined the ranks of the monsters he has been trained from birth to …

Hello all and welcome to today’s guest post with Diane Alberts! Diane is becoming a fast favourite around here. Today, she comes to us with a little insight into Jeremy, the main character in her novella, Try Me, and some true life examples of what really goes in the hearts of Marines. Take it away, Diane:
———-
Big Girls Don’t Cry….But do Bad Boys?
Anyone can probable tell, from looking at the cover of Try Me, that Jeremy is a bit of a bad boy. He’s got a body worth drooling over every single day (at least, I have been!) and the tattoos to match. Ah, and we can’t forget the dog tags around his neck. Not only is he a bad boy, but also he’s a Marine. Go ahead and look now.
Nice, right? But besides the hotness, there is a lot more to Jeremy. The same can be said …

Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness…
He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I’d never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily…
Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected …

Blurb:
What happens in Vegas…can lead to romance.
It took one wild night for Sergeant Jeremy Addison to realize that Vegas? Was a bad idea.
Bloody. Bruised. Dehydrated. Abandoned in the desert, and left to stagger down the road. The only way this leave could get worse was if his savior was his ex-best friend’s sister…and the girl he’d loved since childhood.
