Guest Author: Laurie London & Giveaway!!

Posted on by

I’m so pleased to be featuring romance author Laurie London.  Laurie writes the Sweetblood and Iron Portal series—dark, sexy paranormal romances, set primarily in the Pacific Northwest. Publisher’s Weekly calls the Sweetblood series “sexy” and “sizzling.”  And here’s what Joyfully Reviewed had to say about Seduced by Blood, book 4 of the Sweetblood series, which was a recommended read:

“Get ready to be blown away by powerful romance and action in Seduced by Blood.  I am so excited about this book I can hardly stand it.”

Wow!  High praise, indeed.

Laurie is starting a new series with her Iron Portal books.  She’s kicking things off with her Assassin’s Touch novella, which is already getting great reviews:

“Ms. London begins her Iron Portal series in style! Assassin’s Touch grabs the reader from page one and gives us a fierce and passionate story…The plot line keeps you on the edge of your seat aching to find out what will happen next. I cannot wait to visit the Iron Portal series again!” Joyfully Reviewed, Recommended Read

Here’s the blurb for Assassin’s Touch:

Two worlds. Two enemies.

Haunted by loss, Cascadian assassin Rickert D’Angelus is on a mission of vengeance. Determined to stop the Pacifican army from finding a portal to his world, he leads a group of warriors into New Seattle with one goal—to kill Pacifican soldiers.

Neyla Trihorn had the perfect life until a deadly accident revealed her latent para-abilities. Now, the former fashion designer is the Pacifican army’s hottest commodity in their fight against the invaders.

When Rickert discovers a beautiful, unconscious soldier on a cold mountain ledge near the portal, he realizes she’s a Protection-Talent and cannot be killed. To prevent the army from using her skills again, he takes her as his prisoner instead.

One fated touch…

But when he pulls her into his arms, a sexy and compelling vision appears, awakening something inside him. Something he can’t ignore.

Torn between duty and passion, Rickert must decide if the vision is a Talent trick designed to foil the enemy or the answer to his deepest desires…

Sounds excellent, doesn’t it?  And what a great cover!  To read an excerpt, be sure to visit Laurie’s website, where you’ll also find the buy links to all your favorite retailers.

For my readers today, Laurie is giving away a copy of her new novella.  To be eligible to win, just tell us what qualities you like to see in your romance heroes in general, and your paranormal heroes in particular!

And be sure to look for Laurie on facebook and Twitter!

Guest Author: Diana Cosby & Giveaway!

Posted on by

Most of you probably know that Diana Cosby writes international bestselling historical romance, but did you know she also writes paranormal romance? Well, she does!  In fact, she has a brand new novella that was just released this week.  It’s called Highland Vampire, and it’s part of an anthology that also contains stories by historical romance authors Hannah Howell and Erica Ridley.

Darkly handsome and dangerously sexy, these voracious vampires are out for blood—and bound for eternal love…

Here’s the blurb for Diana’s story:

As King of the Highland Coven, vampire Aedan MacGregor knows that falling for the fey Rowan Campbell could destroy her. But one taste of her healing blood and he craves her like no other. Dare claim her as his own, knowing he might lose her forever?

Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?  The other stories in the anthology look pretty great too, so do check them out on Diana’s book page.

Does that mean Diana is giving up on her historicals?  Heck, no!  Right now she’s hard at work on her next book in her award-winning MacGruder Series.

And take a look at the fab cover for one of the existing books in the series.

Nice, eh?  In fact, Diana is giving away a copy of His Conquest today, to one of my readers.  Just tell us which series books you’re looking forward to reading in the next few months for a chance to win Diana’s book.

And be sure to visit Diana’s website to find out her latest news and to read excerpts for all her books!
