Here we go again …
Just when it seems life at Mythos Academy can’t get any more dangerous, the Reapers of Chaos manage to prove me wrong. It was just a typical night at the Library of Antiquities — until a Reaper tried to poison me. The good news is I’m still alive and kicking. The bad news is the Reaper poisoned someone else instead.
As Nike’s Champion, everyone expects me to lead the charge against the Reapers, even though I’m still hurting over what happened with Spartan warrior Logan Quinn. I’ve got to get my hands on the antidote fast — otherwise, an …

Guest post by Kimberly Kincaid + Giveaway
It is a truth universally acknowledged that I am a huge fan of culinary romances, so it is with great pleasure that we welcome back to Book Lovers Inc. culinary romance author Kimberly Kincaid, who stops by to tell you a behind the scenes secret about her brand new release Outside the Line! So please give her a warm welcome and if you answer the question at the end, you could even win a copy of her book! 😀
The Story That Almost Wasn’t
by Kimberly Kincaid
Each book has a story, a wonderful tale of evolution about how it went from the glimmer of an idea to a swirling of thoughts to a cohesive map of characters and events and arcs. The process never fails to astound me, since the simplest things can serve to inspire entire books (case in point: my first novella, Love On The Line, …
Sunday Cravings
Hello my fellow Book Lovers everywhere in the world! How is your weekend? The heat currently in Greece is insufferable so probably when this post will go live I will be reading a cool story while sunbathing at a beach trying to forget how hot this whole week was 😛
The last week of July is here and there’s a huge variety of books being released. And that’s a good thing because July was a pretty slow month bookwise. So, let’s see which are our Sunday Cravings for this week 🙂
Stella: Hero’s Redemption by Georgie Lee
London, 1817
Devon, the Earl of Malton, is a hero for his deeds at the Battle of Waterloo. But he suffers terrible nightmares, and drinks himself to sleep most nights. A habit he vows to break when he awakes one morning to find a woman sharing his bed, no memory of how she got there, …

The Heatwave Winner post
Hey Everyone!
I don’t know how the weather is in your corner of the world, but for the past weeks we had unperturbed sunshine and hot summer days with the usual 30-33 C degrees, but this weekend Mother Nature turned up the heat and grilled us with 38-40 C! And not living in a tropic or Mediterranean climate let me tell you this is very unusual and too hot. So I spent the weekend home chilling, doing laundry and making ice creams. 😉 Sounds like a great time, doesn’t it? Well it was except for my neighbours who decided to start vacuuming at 7am on Saturday! Seriously, who does that?? Anyway this week’s winner is… *drumroll please*
Congrats to
the lucky winner of an ebook copy of Love at High Tide by Christi Barth is

Christmas in July!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!!!
What is she on about you ask? Why it’s Christmas in July of course!
Today I wanted to point out that the all the people in the Northern Hemisphere should be experiencing Summer at the moment, which is when I experience Christmas, so I am here with a special treat for you all:
Chilled Eggnog!
This is a recipe many of us use to help keep cool on a hot Christmas day which is useless to you guys during traditional Christmas…but should hopefully cool some of you down during a scorching Christmas in July.
Now I don’t use proper measurements when I cook so you will need to bear with me for this….
Ingredients:
Ice
3 eggs
500mL Milk (Full Cream or Lite Milk works best – Don’t use 2%/Skim Milk…it’s too watery)
Rum
Brandy
Quite a simple recipe really.
Method:
Now I use a 1L Blender so you will just need …

She will not give up…
Three months ago, governess Serena Barton was let go from her position. Unable to find new work, she’s demanding compensation from the man who got her sacked: a petty, selfish, swinish duke. But it’s not the duke she fears. It’s his merciless man of business—the man known as the Wolf of Clermont. The formidable former pugilist has a black reputation for handling all the duke’s dirty business, and when the duke turns her case over to him, she doesn’t stand a chance. But she can’t stop trying—not with her entire future at stake.
He cannot give in…
Hugo Marshall is a man of ruthless ambition—a characteristic that has served him well, elevating the coal miner’s son to the right hand man of a …

Let’s Celebrate Christmas… in July!
Hey Everyone!
In case you think we are nuts (we are, but that’s a different story for another day 😉 lol) for being in such a festive mood let me tell you that Christmas in July is a real thing as our friends from the Southern hemisphere (*waves to Amanda the Winged Lover*) and even Wikipedia can tell you. But to make you feel better I just learned that recently as well. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been celebrating or getting in the Christmas-mood before that. Let me share with you a confession.
You might remember that I am a huge Christmas fan. A true Christmasaholic. As soon as Christmas is over and January rolls around (yes, because in my family we celebrate Christmas until Dec 29-30 usually we have so many aunts and uncles and family friends to visit) I can’t wait for it to be Christmas again! …

Book Lovers for the Prevention of Supporting Character Neglect: InCryptids
We’re back for another meeting of the Book Lovers for the Prevention of Supporting Character Neglect! Where Book Lovers from across the world stand in solidarity for the supporting cast. Those individuals that make the story and keep us coming back even when the protagonist needs a good smack (cough Sookie Stackhouse cough). Hear our anthem! Because everyone deserves top billing now and then.
Secondary Characters by Original Cast Recording on Grooveshark
For this round we’re diving into a relatively new series: Seanan McGuire’s InCryptids. Our previous two outings focused on long-standing series with multiple novels and the correspondingly massive supporting cast to choose from. However, Seanan McGuire wasted no time in building up a multi-generational family epic. For those of you unfamiliar with the series, we actually have two separate protagonists: Verity Price (here in the now), and her …
Guest Post by Christine S. Feldman + Giveaway
Please give a warm welcome to Christine S. Feldman, who stops by Book Lovers Inc. to celebrate the release of The Bargain! Christine is a tomboy wannabe just like me and here she talks about Tomboys & Romance and why it works so well. Join us and if you answer Christine’s question at the end you could even win a copy of The Bargain! Christine, take it away!
I am not a tomboy, not really. Nor am I a girly-girl, although I do occasionally like to sneak a fancy gown into a dressing room and try it on just for fun, even if I can’t even begin to think of anyplace I’d ever wear something like that (although part of me thinks it would be fun to get all dolled up with a tiara or something and go grocery shopping, just to see the looks on other people’s faces. Is …
