Book Blurb:

Kelsey Almeida has lived every one of her lifetimes in relative silence. Her voice is a lure, one that can overcome the strongest of wills. Magic has enabled the Siren to live a normal life…except when it comes to sex. When she’s aroused, no charm can obscure the call of her voice.

Frostbite: Looking for a partner immune to supernatural seduction.

Nothing pierces the icy cool of Cain’s armor. A reaper can’t afford to be swayed by human emotions, even if he still has human needs. Kelsey’s voice heats his blood, but it’s the pleasure of unraveling her secrets that threatens to melt …

Guest Post: The West of Want Preview & Prizes Event by Laura Kaye + Giveaway

We are very happy to welcome Laura Kaye here at Book Lovers Inc today. She has great news to share about her next release West of Want and she also brought a great giveaway along with a bunch of chance to win great prizes. Please give Laura a warm welcome. 

Happy WEST OF WANT Preview & Prizes Event, everyone! Today, April 10, was the original release date for Book 2 in my Hearts of the Anemoi series, West of Want. And then some really cool things happened: my publisher, Entangled Publishing, signed a huge deal with the nation’s biggest book distributor, which means for the first time ever, my books will be shelved in brick-and-mortar bookstores. And then, West of Want received a very nice pre-sales estimate by the booksellers and Barnes and Nobles bought it for all their stores nationwide (and it got bought for airports, too—squee!). The only bad news in this whole …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Happy Holidays everyone and welcome to our newest edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?. This week we will talk about movie tie-in covers. You know, books especially made for promotion of a series or movie release of a novel. We’ve all seen them pop-up whenever a book adaptation becomes a blockbuster or a TV hit!  Sometimes it’s for the best, sometimes it’s for the worst. Take a look at our selection  and tell us what you think =)

Caro: See this is a good example of how Movie Tie-in covers will be the end of me. I already have the US version of this book and now I am craving the tie-in cover. It’s so vibrant, so pretty. I love it! Not a fan of the UK cover though, she seems way too young. *runs to order the Tie-in cover*

Susi: To Caro’s utter dismay I still haven’t read …

Guestpost by Author Dakota Banks + Giveaway

We are very happy to welcome Dakota Banks back here at Book Lovers Inc. Her latest novel in her Mortal Path series, Deliverance, was released at the end of March and today Dakota is here to tell us about her heroine Maliha Crayne and what makes her the kick ass woman she is. Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win the awesome prize pack Dakota brought along. Please give her a warm welcome. 

One thing that contributes to an action-packed book is the ability of the main character to kick butt when necessary. In the Mortal Path books, Maliha Crayne, former wife, mother-to-be, and healer in Colonial times, has become a superbly skilled assassin. What? How did this transformation come about?

After being wrongly accused of witchcraft and other crimes, Maliha (then known as Susannah Layhem) was abandoned by her husband and friends …

But seriously, or not so seriously, I’m happily married to the love of my life. Who occasionally gets mentioned in the blog. Galen is my husband and also …

Book Blurb:

Being newlyweds and new parents is challenging enough. But Jeff and Kitty Martini are also giving up their roles as super-being exterminators and Commanders in Centaurion Division while mastering the political landscape as the new heads of Centaurion’s Diplomatic Corps. Enter a shadowy assassination plot and a new set of anti-alien conspirators, and nothing will ever be the same…

This review contains minor spoilers for previous books in this series.

My Thoughts:
In Alien Diplomacy we find our favorite well dressed Aliens and the fabulous Kitty as sharp and funny as always but the setting itself is changed. Jeff’s and Kitty’s new job as Diplomats for the ACs seems to change the game …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome to this new edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This week we will concentrate on efforts on different editions of the same books. As you may have noticed we have a slight cover addiction and our shallowness can be seen in our shelves. BUT there are times even a cover addict has to make a choice. Not only can we choose between pretty and ugly, UK or US but the price always plays a role at times. Or as in Susi’s case a little bit of stupidity (head hangs in shame).
So here take a glimpse at the books we have in shelves- same content different outside.

Susi : These books are a case of Susi going on a book binge without proper caffeination. *le sigh* I bought the first 3 before book 4 was out and I browsed amazon.de and selected them and nearly DIED when …

Guestpost Just Where do Those Pesky Ideas Come From? by Jill Limber +Giveaway

We are happy to welcome author Jill Limber here at Book Lovers Inc. today. She writes romance stories with heart and her story Montana Morning is one of those. Today she is here to tell us how she comes up with the ideas for her stories. Be sure to leave a comment at the end of the post for your chance to win your copy of Montana Morning. 

I just had a friend ask me where I got my idea for Montana Morning. For me, it always starts with musing over a ‘What if?’ What if a woman needed a husband but didn’t really want to be married? Where would she get a guy she could marry, but would be practically guaranteed that he would leave, sooner rather than later?

This question about ideas seems to come up a lot, so I thought  it might be a good …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome to our new edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? Here at Book Lovers Inc we’re known to be picky cover-wise. Yes this is a nice way to say we often bitch about every tiny details of covers. But sometimes we see new covers and we are left speechless…in a good way. I remember us dedicating a whole post ranting about a Kate Daniels cover and here we are today having a raving post about the new Ilona Andrews cover! We’re curious to see what you think of these covers.

Caro: *squeeeee* I fell in love at first sight with this cover! Wow I mean everything works for me. I LOVE the model they chose, her face screams BADASS, she looks so fierce. I love that. I also love the background with Atlanta smoking. The colors are perfect (yes I love orange). And last detail, the …
