“The Shadow Slayers, Book 1”

Kara Reed is a supernatural failure. But where her magic falls short, her fists get the job done. The criminal element doesn’t stand a chance once she hits San Diego’s dark streets.

When two smoking-hot tenants move in next door, she thinks her love life might finally be heating up. Just being near Gavin and Julian is enough to make her want to offer her body on a platter.

The Bored Winner Post

Hey Everyone!

Sorry no great story to tell today. Thankfully we didn’t have any more snow, so no further snow shovelling for me, it has been sunny but freezing cold. Lately I have the doubt that I’m in a  reading low. I haven’t had the high, excitement and enthusiasm I tend to have when reading great stories. I am bored and easily irritated with the story and characters. And I have the feeling it’s maybe not the stories’ fault but my being short tempered. Maybe I’m worrying for nothing and it’s all due to the fact that my exam is drawing near and it’s stressing me out on some subconscious level and not letting me enjoy too much any pleasure read, so next week I’ll have to go on another reading ban. For the last week before my bar exam, I forbid myself to read anything I would enjoy as I fear I …

Romance and Me: What’s your favourite HR time period?

Hey Everyone!

Welcome back to #2 of our Historical Romance sessions. Today we’ll discuss time periods. One of the best things about historical romance stories is that they come in all shapes and sizes i.e. set in so many different time periods. There are some set in Ancient Egypt (like Priestess of the Nile), Greece or Rome, Medieval times (all those delicious Highlander heroes *dreamy sighs*), then there are the many set in Regency/Victorian/Edwardian England with those dashing dukes and rogues, and sure there are the more modern ones set during World War I or II or later, just to name a few.

I love them all without any discrimination. I never discard a HR story based solely on the time period it is set in. I can’t pick one favourite time period I love above all the others, but there are certainly …

Appearing to her as a man, he learns she is Merys, a descendant of his last priestess. Though filled with lust, Sobek believes Merys deserves to be more than just his mistress.

The Very Snowy Winner Post

Hey Everyone!

I don’t know what’s the weather like in your part of the world but this past week it has been fricking icy cold here. I’m not talking I-need-to-put-on-gloves cold, but my-fingers-are-frozen-and-I-cant-feel-them-even-in-gloves-after-five-minutes kind of Arctic cold! And as I don’t live in Canada I’m not used to these freezing degrees, especially not during  the day (-15 Celsius or even less)! Brr… But today it snowed! And not just some fluffy snow flakes, nope. It snowed and snowed all day, the whole neighbourhood and city is covered in a white fluffy blanket and as I don’t have to get out in the city (the peaks of being in isolation on study leave) I don’t mind that much. Sure I spent most of yesterday’s afternoon shovelling snow so we could get to our mailbox, but in a way it was so peaceful to see all this undisturbed and soft whiteness. If it keeps …

Blurb:

Chef Brylie Winston has made some mistakes in her life, but she didn’t think she’d repeat one. She didn’t realize the man whose bed she left this morning after a rare impulsive night of passion was her boss. Worse, he owns the cruise ship where she works, and of course, he’s on board for their trip to Antarctica. And instead of being pissed that she snuck out on him, he seems determined to have a repeat performance.

Marcus Devlin knew his family would make good on their threat to send him to the ends of the earth some day. He didn’t think it would be quite so literal, sticking him on a cruise ship to Antarctica, after his latest scandal. Time for him to learn the …

The Lounging Winner Post

Hey Everyone!

How is your weekend so far? Mine was busy with family events and lots of eating. Yesterday I visited both sets of grandparents, and as is their custom they just fed and fed me. I ate so much I was still completely full this morning, so no need for breakfast or early lunch lol.

Other than that it finally looks like a relaxing weekend with lying on the couch, reading and watching Castle (finally got around to discover this series and I am hooked!). So it’s a relaxing, lounging Sunday for me, oh and I almost forgot I’ll also have to bake a capuccino cheesecake in the afternoon for my mom :-)D

So what are your plans for today? Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about today’s lucky winners, here they are!

Today congratulations are in order for…
