Guest Post by Mallory Kane + Giveaway

Today we are happy to welcome to Book Lovers Inc Mallory Kane who just released a sexy romantic suspense novel, No Hero in Entangled Publishing’s new category romance imprint: Deadly Sexy. Please give her a warm welcome and read on to win a copy of No Hero! (pst. with such a handsome cover model, who in my opinion looks totally like Josh Hartnett, who wouldn’t want to discover if he really is no hero? 😉 )

With a mother who was a librarian and a father who was a master storyteller, I naturally was reading from the time I was three years old and sat in my mother’s lap, making her sound out words for me. I wasn’t much older when I wrote my first story. However, it did take me a little longer to get published. My first e-book (WAY before e-readers) was published in …

Let’s give a warm welcome to Laura!

I’m very excited to be celebrating the release of my new fantasy romance West of Want, the second book in my Greek-mythology-based Hearts of the Anemoi series! As much as I love the Greek gods in this series—their supernatural powers, the fraternal dynamics between them, their distinct hurts and wants and needs, their abs (look at that cover!)—I’ve really enjoyed writing the heroines, too. These women need to be equals to incredibly powerful, paranormal creatures. They need to be able to …

Guest post by Melissa Bourbon Ramirez + Giveaway

Today we are happy to welcome back to Book Lovers Inc Melissa Bourbon Ramirez who just released a sexy romantic suspense novel, Sacrifice of Passion in Entangled Publishing’s new category romance line: Deadly Sexy. When glimpsing the blurb of this novel the first question that arises in every reader’s mind is why did Melissa include a mythical creature, the chupacabra in a contemporary romantic suspense story? Well read on to hear about her inspiration and if you comment you could even win a copy of the book!

I’ve always been fascinated by legends, and I have a natural-born love of the Mexican culture. My husband is Mexican-American, we try hard to instill the Mexican culture into our kids’ lives. When I starting writing, I wanted to bring in elements from this culture I so love being a part of (I like to say I’m Latina-by-marriage). …

The Bodyguard Crush – Whitney & Kevin had it right.

One of the most popular plotlines in a romance novel is the one where the bodyguard is hired to protect a woman (or vice versa) and ends up falling for them. I think almost everyone on the planet has seen the movie, THE BODYGUARD, with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. The film not only made $410 million at the box office but …

THE CHALLENGES OF WRITING A SERIES

I’ve never done things the easy way. Just ask my mother. I guess that’s one of the reasons it took me 22 years to become a published author. I started out writing a regency romance that took several years—only to discover …
