<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">Fangs, Fur & Mistletoe by Selena Blake</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #990000;">Vampiress Coco Jeffress has one week to get her mojo back. After a long sexual drought, Mystic Isle, the exclusive pleasure playground for paranormals, is just what the doctor ordered. For once she's choosing lust over love.
Tall, dark, and oh-so-handsome werewolf Grayson West is well versed in the arts of war and women. </span></i></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><i><span style="color: #990000;">He's got one week to blow off some steam before he heads back into the field and he's more than willing to help a lady find her inner vixen.
Especially when she's the same beautiful blue eyed vamp he met one hundred years ago and has never been able to forget. </span></i></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><i><span style="color: #990000;">They were once sworn enemies, pulled apart by war. Now they're lovers. But history has a way of rearing its ugly head and their new relationship will have to stand up to the test of loyalty, friendship and even time itself. </span></i></b><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>VAMPIRE FOR CHRISTMAS BY FELICITY HEATON</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>It was one last mission. Shannon, a demon hunter with the agency, is
looking forward to leaving behind the small town and the vampire she's
been stuck with for the past two years. Things are getting complicated
fast and she wants out. A fresh start, free of her vampire partner,
awaits her if she can survive their final mission and the lonely
Christmas holidays.<br /><br />It was one last mission. Rafe, a vampire
doing time with the agency, watches it approach with dread weighing
heavily in his stomach. Two years of working with Shannon has been
difficult, especially since he started falling for her, but he doesn't
want their partnership to end. He has barely a few days to make her face
her feelings and stop her from leaving, and he intends to do just that.<br /><br />When
a slimy demon threatens the season of peace and goodwill, it's the
chance Rafe has been waiting for and the moment Shannon secretly fears.
Rafe's determination to prise open her heart and her own resolve to keep
it closed clash as violently as they do with the demon, and threatens
to end as messily.<br /><br />Can Rafe make Shannon see that his love for
her is real and that she feels something for him too? Can Shannon face
her fears and her past, and stop herself from running away from both?
Will a wish on a star bring her what her heart truly desires--a vampire
for Christmas?</i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>R<span style="font-size: large;">eview!</span></b></span></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Vampire for Christmas is a great book, you will laugh and you will cry
at times through-out the book. Shannon who has kept her heart closed off
for so long has finally opened it up to Rafe, and it just so happens
that they are partners in a demon hunter agency. They have been partners
for the last two years and Shannon is looking forward to leaving the
agency and Rafe behind, but Rafe is not looking forward to Shannon
leaving, he has fallen for her and he doesn't want her to leave. I love the way that this book is set up from beginning to
end, the way that Felicity describes her characters and how she
describes their feelings. It is a great book especially for this time of
year. I loved it and I know you will too.

<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /><i>This holiday season, join two of today’s most popular paranormal
authors for a special look into their worlds, where creatures are always
stirring and no one sleeps through the night. . . . The Bite Before Christmas</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /><b><u>The Gift by Lynsay Sands</u></b><br /><br /><b><i>Teddy
Brunswick knows about the immortals among us. He’s worked with them,
called them friend—but he never counted on being snowed in with one over
Christmas. Katricia Argeneau is a tasty little bundle and she seems to
feel the same way about him. Problem is, he’s not sure she feels quite
the same way. After all, the snowstorm has derailed her blood delivery,
which leaves him the only available meal on the menu. . . .</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /><u><b>Home for the Holidays by Jeaniene Frost</b></u><br /><b><i><br />Cat
and Bones are looking forward to a normal holiday—at least as “normal”
as it gets for the combustible vampire couple and their otherworldly
friends and family. But their yuletide plans are shattered when a
stranger shows up and reveals long-buried family secrets that threaten
to take a bite out of their holiday cheer . . . and lives.</i></b></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>REVIEW!</u></span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>There's nothing like a Christmas themed book to put me in the holiday
spirit and this anthology is no exception. <br /><br /><i>The Gift by Lynsay Sands</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Katricia is ancient and has spent so many years alone that she no longer
craves food or sex but all of that changes when she meets Teddy. At
first she's reluctant to inform him of the fact that they're mates for
fear of him running for the hills. It's a
Christmas story though, so as expected, everyone lives happily ever
after!<br /><br /><i>Home for the Holidays by Jeaniene Frost</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Cat and
Bones are spectacular together and I breathed in the pages faster than I
would have liked.
Home for
the Holidays is a quick and spicy read that'll put you in the mood for
more things than just Christmas (if you get my meaning!).<br /><br />The two
stories in The Bite Before Christmas are festive while managing to
maintain their paranormal cores. A great read for those looking to read
something holiday-themed without having to go overboard on the Xmas
cheer.

School principal. In his youth, he broke all the rules and enjoyed being
the bad Cooper brother. One Christmas Eve night he got a little too
rowdy and things changed forever. Now the consequences of that fateful
night have come back in full force and the myths of Christmas might be
more real than he thought.</b></i></span><br />

maker, but the sexy, petite, energy filled bombshell kind. She’s come to
Holiday to aid Justin in his new role as Santa’s executive, but as soon
as she sees the sexy ex-bad boy, she realizes the job may be more than
she bargained for.</b></i></span><br />

<b><span style="color: #274e13;">Wow! Just wow! This book as so much funmas! I loved the twist about Justin being one of Santa's Exective because I didn't know what that was until Rina explained it all. I have to say it suits Justin to the letter! This is the perfect Christmas book because it just makes you feel the spirit of Christmas as your reading it! Jack Frost is such a dick! All I wanted to do was to punch him in his ice cald face! I can't wait for 'Finding Abigail' next year in February! I want to read it now! </span></b><br />

<b><i>As a fallen Angel of Death, Azrael is cursed to walk the earth alone
in search of redemption. One night, as he wanders the streets of New
Orleans, he discovers a woman surrounded by panther shifters. No longer
able to contain the anger simmering within, Az summons his dark powers
and attacks, determined to protect this innocent human from certain
death.</i></b><br />
<br />
<b><i>Only Jade Pierce is no delicate flower. She’s spent years learning
to survive and fight the evil forces sent by her ex-lover who refuses to
let her go. But after seeing Az in action, she figures she could use a
little supernatural help. And so she plans a course of seduction
guaranteed to arouse his interest and his angelic passions…</i></b><br />

<div class="excerpt">
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: red;">**Unedited Excerpt from ANGEL IN CHAINS**</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<i>“They’re probably hunting you now.” He walked away from her and
headed toward the window that looked out over the street. “Hunting us,”
he added quietly and realized he was anticipating the fight. When had
he come to crave the fury? When had the bloodlust grown so within him?</i><br />
<i>She stood as still as a statue before his door. Her hand was up,
hovering above the doorknob, and he could almost feel the fear rolling
off her in waves.</i><br />
<i>But then she took a deep breath, and he saw her small shoulders
straighten. She shoved back the heavy tangle of her hair and turned to
face him. “How did you get us away from them?”</i><br />
<i>Az shrugged once more.</i><br />
<i>She took a step toward him. “You . . . you know what they are, right?”</i><br />
<i>Amusement flared in him. “I did notice the claws.” Rather hard to miss those.</i><br />
<i>She blinked, and her eyes narrowed as she studied him. He’d never
seen quite that shade of green before. She crept closer, bringing that
light scent of strawberries to him. When she stopped, she was less than a
foot away from him. It would be so easy to touch her.</i><br />
<i>Though he knew well just how dangerous a touch could be.</i><br />
<i>Yet she stood close enough to kiss. But angels weren’t supposed to kiss mortals . . .</i><br />
<i>You’re not an angel anymore. The whisper came from deep inside of him. The same tempting whisper that he’d been fighting since his fall.</i><br />
<i>You’re not an angel. Do what you want.</i><br />
<i>You’re not an angel. Take what you want.</i><br />
<i>He was discovering that he could want many things.</i><br />
<i>The top of the woman’s head barely reached his shoulders. She tilted
her head and stared up at him. Then her gaze swept down his body.</i><br />
<i>Az stiffened even before she whispered, “What are you?”</i><br />
<i>Rather insulting question. “I’m the man who saved your life.” Did she need to know more? He didn’t think so.</i><br />
<i>Her hand lifted and pressed against her mouth. A small trace of blood
still rested near her lips. “There were three of them, and, you’re big
and all, but there’s still just one of you.”</i><br />
<i>She might just be one of the most ungrateful humans he’d ever
encountered. Stifling a sigh, Az inclined his head. “You’re welcome.”</i><br />
<i>She stared in surprise for a moment. Then she laughed. A soft,
strangely lyrical sound spilled from her lips, and her wide smile lit up
her face.</i><br />
<i>Not just pretty.</i><br />
<i>Az tensed as the wave of need hit him. Not lust for blood or death. This time . . . the lust was just for her.</i><br />
<i>You’re not an angel anymore. Take what you want.</i><br />
<i>“Yeah,” she said, as her laughter faded but the smile still lingered
on her lips, “thanks for saving my ass.” Then she held out her hand to
him. “My name’s Jade. Jade Pierce.”</i><br />
<i>He stared at her hand. She wiggled her fingers at him. Slowly, Az lifted his own hand and caught those wiggling fingers. Soft. “I am Azrael.” He dropped her hand. He hadn’t used the name Azrael in centuries. “Most just call me Az.”</i><br />
<i>“Well, Az, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Her gaze slid over his body
again. “But I’m gonna have to ask, once more, just what are—”</i><br />
<i>The door crashed in behind her. She didn’t scream this time, but maybe Az just didn’t give her a chance to scream.</i><br />
<i>Because as the three black panthers—fully shifted panthers—leapt into
the room, jumping over the broken door, Az grabbed Jade and threw her
toward the couch.</i><br />
<i>Then he ran right for the snarling beasts.</i><br />
<i>He should have known better than to let down his guard. Shifters and
their damn acute senses. They’d caught his scent, her scent, and
followed them right through the Quarter.</i><br />
<i>“I warned you,” Az snapped and leapt at the nearest panther. He
caught the beast’s front paws and shoved the giant cat back. “You should
have listened.” There would be no more warnings now. Only death.</i><br />

<i><br /></i><b>OMFG! I have been waiting forever for this book! I have read about the other two smexy angels, Keenan and Sam, but Az's book is the one I've been waiting for. OMG! It was freaking amazing! My heart broke for Az and Jade so many times but I have to admit I was kinda jealous over their relationship because I want Az for myself! hehehehe XD It was fab to see Sam, Seline and Beelzebub again but it was a shame not to see Keenan and Nicole, perhaps next time? There are so many twists and turns in this book that had me crying for 15 minutes (I'm sure Cynthia knows which one I mean) and shouting at my Kindle, "How could Cynthia do that?!?!?!?! That is just sooooo mean!" I would say that while crying but then I stopped once I noticed it was just a trick. So I relaxed and got back into the book. </b></div>

<b>They've burned for each other for two years, the forbidden attraction
between them growing each night. Now resisting the sinful desires of
their hearts is becoming impossible.</b><br />
<br />
Javier knows better than
to succumb to his hunger for Lilah. The mortal female belongs to a
powerful aristocrat patron of Vampirerotique, the theatre he runs with
three other vampires. A single touch is all it would take to break the
sacred law of his kind, sentencing himself to death, but his passion for
her has become too fierce to ignore and he will risk everything to make
Lilah his.<br />
<br />
Lilah has fought her desire for Javier since arriving
at his theatre as a servant but each glance he has stolen, his eyes
promising pleasure that will satisfy her longing for him, has chipped
away at her defences and she can no longer deny her need and her
forbidden feelings for the powerful vampire male.<br />
<br />
When they find
themselves alone in a private box during one of the erotic performances,
will they surrender to their passion and live out their wildest
fantasies in a night of wicked pleasure or will the threat of Lilah's
master keep them apart forever?<br />

After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila
never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that
let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets
through a single touch. Leila is doomed to a life of solitude...until
creatures of the night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a
telepathic distress call to the world's most infamous vampire...<br />
<br />
Vlad
Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all--but whatever you
do, don't call him Dracula. Vlad's ability to control fire makes him one
of the most feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a
new weapon against him - a beautiful mortal with powers to match his
own.<br />
<br />
When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them,
threatening to consume them both. It will take everything that they are
to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames.<br />

So what if he's a bit older and usually regards a human female as
dinner, not a dinner date? Yes, Roman Draganesti is a vampire, but a
vampire who lost one of his fangs sinking his teeth into something he
shouldn't have. Now he has one night to find a dentist before his
natural healing abilities close the wound, leaving him a lop–sided eater
for all eternity.<br />
<br />
Things aren't going well for Shanna Whelan
either...After witnessing a gruesome murder by the Russian mafia, she's
next on their hit list. And her career as a dentist appears to be on a
downward spiral because she's afraid of blood. When Roman rescues her
from an assassination attempt, she wonders if she's found the one man
who can keep her alive.<br />
<br />
Though the attraction between them is immediate
and hot, can Shanna conquer her fear of blood to fix Roman's fang? And
if she does, what will prevent Roman from using his fangs on her...<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>EMBRACE THE DARKNESS</b></u></span></div>
<br />
Lady Shay is the last of her kind. Half human, half Shalott,
her blood is a precious aphrodisiac to vampires, who consider it
more precious than gold. Though Shalotts are renowned
assassins, a curse held over Shay lands her on the slave auction
block, where her fate is uncertain...<br />
<br />
Viper, the beguiling chief of a deadly vampire clan, can't
explain his longing to possess the beautiful Shalott who once saved
his life, but now he is free to do anything he wants with her.
Strangely, while he desires both Shay's blood and body, he wants her
to surrender willingly.<br />
<br />
A hidden evil has been stalking Shay since she left the slave
market with Viper. It is an evil that endangers the very
existence of Viper's kind, and there's no reason he should court
such danger just to protect a Shalott. But the love he feels
for Shay is enough to make him willing to go to hell and back if it
means spending an eternity with her in his arms...<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The auction-house on the outskirts of Chicago didn't look like a cesspit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Behind the iron fences the elegant brick structure sprawled over the
landscape with a visible arrogance. The rooms were large with vaulted ceilings
that boasted beautiful murals and elegant chandeliers. And on the advice of a
professional they had been decorated with thick ivory carpets, glossy dark
paneling, and hand carved furniture. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">The overall atmosphere was the sort of quiet hush that only money could buy.
Lots and lots of money.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">It was the sort of swanky place that should be peddling rare paintings,
priceless jewels, and museum artifacts. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Instead it was no more than a flesh market. A sewer where demons were sold
like so much meat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">There was nothing pleasant about the slave trade. Not even when the trade was
demons rather than humans. It was a sordid business that attracted every
decadent, demented, slime ball in the country. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">They came for all sorts of pathetic reasons. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Those who bought demons for mercenaries or body guards. Those who lusted
after the more exotic sex slaves. Those who believed the blood of demons could
bring them magic or eternal life. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">And those who purchased demons to be released into their private lands and
hunted like wild animals.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">The bidders were men and women without conscience or morals. Only enough
money to sate their twisted pleasures.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">And at the top of the dung heap was the owner of the auction-house, Evor. He
was one of the lesser trolls who made his living upon the misery of others with
a smile on his face.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Someday Shay intended to kill Evor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Unfortunately it would not be today.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Or rather tonight.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Attired in ridiculous harem pants and a tiny sequined top that revealed far
more than it concealed, she paced the cramped cell behind the auction rooms. Her
long raven black hair had been pulled to a braid that hung nearly to her waist.
Better to reveal her slanted golden eyes, the delicate cast to her features, and
the bronzed skin that marked her as something other than human.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Less than two months before she had been a slave to a coven of witches who
intended to bring Armageddon to all demons. At the time she had thought anything
was preferable to being their toady as she helplessly watched their evil
plotting. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Hell, it's tough to top genocide.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">It was only when she had been forced back to the power of Evor that she
understood that death was not always the worst fate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">The grave was really nothing compared to what waited for her beyond the door.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Without thought Shay struck out with her foot, sending the lone table sailing
through the air to crash against the iron bars with astonishing force.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">From behind her came a heavy sigh that had her spinning to regard the small
gargoyle hiding behind a chair in the far corner.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Levet wasn't much of a gargoyle. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Oh, he possessed the traditional grotesque features. Thick grey skin,
reptilian eyes, horns, and cloven hoofs. He even possessed a long tail he
polished and pampered with great pride. Unfortunately, despite his frightening
appearance he was barely three feet tall and worse, as far as he was concerned,
he possessed a pair of delicate, gossamer wings that would have been more
fitting on a sprite or fairy than a lethal creature of the dark.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">As if to add to his humiliation his powers were unpredictable under the best
of circumstances, and his courage more often than not missing in action.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">It was little wonder he had been voted out of the Gargoyle Guild and forced
to fend for himself. They claimed he was an embarrassment to the entire
community, and not one had stepped forward when he had been captured and made a
slave by Evor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay had taken the pathetic creature under her protection the moment she had
been forced back to the auction house. Not only because she possessed a
regrettable tendency to leap to the defense of anyone weaker than herself, but
because she knew that it aggravated Evor to have his favorite whipping boy taken
away.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">The troll might hold the curse that bound her, but if he pressed her far
enough she would be willing to kill him, even if it meant an end to her own
life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Cherie, did the chair do something I did not see or were you just attempting
to teach it a lesson?" Levet demanded, his voice low and laced with a lilting
French accent. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Not at all the sort of thing to improve his status among the gargoyles.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay smiled wryly. "I was imagining it was Evor."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Strange, they do not greatly resemble one another."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"I have a good imagination."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Ah." He gave a ridiculous wiggle of his thick brow. "In that case I do not
suppose you are imagining I'm Brad Pitt?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay smiled wryly. "I'm good, but not that good, gargoyle."< o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"A pity." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Her brief amusement faded. "No, the pity is that it was a table and not Evor
smashed to pieces."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"A delightful notion, but a mere dream." The grey eyes slowly narrowed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Unless you intend to be stupid?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay deliberately widened her eyes. "Who me?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Mon dieu," the demon growled. "You intend to fight him." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"I can't fight him. Not as long as I remain held by the curse."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"As if that has ever halted you." Levet tossed aside the pillow to reveal his
tail furiously twitching about his hoofs. A sure sign of distress. "You can't
kill him, but that never keeps you from trying to kick his fat troll ass."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"It passes the time." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"And leaves you screaming in agony for hours." He abruptly shuddered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Cherie, I can't bear seeing you like that. Not again. It's insane to battle
against fate."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay grimaced. As part of the curse she was punished for any attempt to harm
her master. The searing pain that gripped her body could leave her gasping on
the ground or even passed out for hours. Lately, however, the punishment had
become so brutal she feared that each time she pressed her luck it might be the
last time.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">She gave a tug on her braid. A gesture that revealed the frustration that
smoldered just below the surface.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"You think I should just give in? Accept defeat?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"What choice do you have? What choice do any of us have? Not all the fighting
in the world can change the fact we belong…" Levet rubbed one of his stunted
horns. "How do you say…lock, stock and jug…"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Barrel."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Ah yes, barrel to Evor. And that he can do whatever he wants with us."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay gritted her teeth as she turned to glare at the iron bars that held her
captive. "Shit. I hate this. I hate Evor. I hate this cell. I hate those
pathetic demons up there waiting to bid on me. I almost wish I had let those
witches bring an end to all of us." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"You will get no arguments from me, my sweet Shay," Levet agreed with a sigh.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay closed her eyes. Dammit. She hadn't meant the words. She was tired and
frustrated, but she was no coward. Just the fact she had survived the past
century proved that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"No," she muttered. "No."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Levet gave a flap of his wings. "And why not? We are trapped here like rats
in a maze until we can be sold to the highest bidder. What could be worse?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay smiled without humor. "Allowing fate to win." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"What?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"So far fate or destiny or fortune or whatever the hell you want to call it
has done nothing but crap on us," Shay growled. "I'm not going to just give in
and allow it to thumb its nose at me as I slink into my grave. One of these days
I'm going to have an opportunity to spit fate in its face. That's what keeps me
fighting."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">There was a long silence before the gargoyle moved to stand near enough that
he could rub his head on her leg. It was an unconscious gesture.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">A quest for reassurance that he would rather die than admit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"I am uncertain I have ever heard such an inelegant speech, but I believe
you. If anyone can get away from Evor, it's you."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Absently Shay shifted the horn poking into her thigh. "I'll come back for
you, Levet, that much I promise."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Well, well, isn't this touching?" Abruptly appearing before the iron bars of
the cell Evor smiled to reveal his pointed teeth. "Beauty and the Beast."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">With a smooth motion Shay had pressed Levet behind her and turned to regard
her captor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">A sneer touched her face as the troll stepped into the cell and locked the
door behind him. Evor easily passed for human. An incredibly ugly human. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">He was a short, pudgy man with a round, squishy face and heavy jowls.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">His hair was little more than tufts of stray strands that he carefully combed
over his head. And his small black eyes had a tendency to flash red when he was
annoyed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">The eyes he hid behind black framed glasses. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">The thickly fleshed body he hid behind an obscenely expensive tailored suit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Only the teeth marked him for the troll he was.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">That and his utter lack of morals.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Screw you, Evor," Shay muttered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">The nasty smile widened. "You wish."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay narrowed her gaze. The troll had been trying to get into her bed since
gaining control of her curse. The only thing that had halted him from forcing
her had been the knowledge she was quite willing to kill the both of them to
prevent such a horror.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"I'll walk through the fires of hell before I let you touch me."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Fury rippled over the pudgy features before the oily smile returned.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Someday, my beauty, you'll be happy to be spread beneath me. We all have our
breaking point. Eventually you'll reach yours."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Not in this lifetime."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">His tongue flicked out in an obscene motion. "So proud. So powerful.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">I shall enjoy pouring my seed into you. But not yet. There is still money to
be made from you. And money always comes first." Lifting his hand he revealed
the heavy iron shackles that he had hid behind his body. "Will you put these on
or do I need to call for the boys?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay crossed her arms over her chest. She might only be half Shalott, but she
possessed all the strength and agility of her ancestors. They were not the
favorite assassins of the demon-world without cause.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"After all these years you still think those goons can hurt me?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Oh, I have no intention of having them hurt you. I should hate to have you
damaged before the bidding." Very deliberately his gaze shifted to where Levet
was cowering behind her legs. "I merely wish them to encourage your good
behavior." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">The gargoyle gave a low moan. "Shay?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">She battled back the instinctive urge to punch the pointed teeth down his
throat. It would only put her on the ground in agony. Worse, it would leave
Levet at the mercy of the hulking mountain trolls Evor used as protection.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">They would take great delight in torturing the poor gargoyle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">As far as she knew their only pleasure was giving pain to others.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Freaking trolls.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Fine." She held out her arms with a furious scowl.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"A wise choice." Keeping a wary eye on her, Evor pressed the shackles over
her wrists and locked them shut. "I knew you would understand the situation once
it was properly explained."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay hissed as the iron bit into her skin. She could feel her power draining
and her flesh chaffing beneath the iron. It was her one certain Achilles heel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"All I understand is that someday I'm going to kill you."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">He gave a jerk on the chain that draped between the shackles. "Behave
yourself, bitch, or your little friend pays the consequences. Got it?"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay battled back the sickness that clutched at her stomach. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Once again she was going to be placed on the stage and sold off to the
highest bidder. She would be utterly at the mercy of some stranger who could do
whatever he pleased with her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">And there wasn't a damn thing she could do to stop it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Yeah, I got it. Let's just get this over with."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Evor opened his mouth to make a smart ass comment only to snap the fish lips
shut when he caught sight of her expression. She was close enough to the edge
that he was wary of pushing her over.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Which only proved that he wasn't quite as stupid as he looked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">In silence they left the cell and climbed the narrow stairs to the back of
the stage. Evor paused only long enough to lock her shackles to a pole anchored
in the floor before moving toward the closed curtains and slipping through them
to face the crowd.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Alone in the darkness Shay sucked in a deep breath and tried to ignore the
rumblings of the crowd just beyond the curtain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Even without being able to see the potential bidders she could feel the
presence of the gathering demons and humans. She could smell the stench of their
sweat. Feel the smoldering impatience. Taste the depraved lust in the air.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">She abruptly frowned. There was something else. Something that was subtly
laced through it all.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">A sense of decaying evil that sent a chill of horror over her skin.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">It was vague. As if the being was not truly in the room in full form.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">More like a looming, intangible presence. An echo of foulness that made her
stomach clench in fear.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Swallowing back her instinctive scream she closed her eyes and forced herself
to take a deep, steadying breath. In the distance she heard Evor loudly clear
his throat to command attention.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"And now, ladies and gentlemen, demons and fairies, dead and undead…it is
time for our main attraction. Our piece de resistance. An item so rare, so
extraordinary that only those who possess a golden token may remain," he
dramatically announced. "The rest may retire to our reception rooms where you
will be offered your choice of refreshment."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Despite the lingering certainty she had just been brushed by some malignant
gaze Shay managed a disgusted grimace. Evor was always a pompous blow-hard.
Tonight, however, he put even the cheesiest ring-master to shame. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Gather close, my friends," Evor commanded as the dregs of bidders were
forced to leave the room. To be granted a golden ticket a person or demon had to
carry at least $50,000 in cash on them. The slave trade rarely accepted checks
or credit cards. Go figure. "You will not wish to miss your first glimpse of my
precious treasure. Do not fear, I have ensured that she is properly chained. She
will offer no danger. No danger beyond her perilous charm. She will not rip your
heart from your chest, but I do not promise she will not steal it with her
beauty." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Shut your mouth and open the curtain," a voice growled. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"You are impatient?" Evor demanded, his tone edged with anger. He didn't like
his well practiced act interrupted.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"I don't have all night. Get on with it."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Ah, a premature…bidder, a pity. Let us hope for your sake that it is not an
affliction that taints your performance in other areas," Evor sneered, pausing
to allow the roar of coarse laughter to fade. "Now where was I? Oh yes. My
prize. My most beloved slave. Demons and ghouls, allow me to introduce you to
Lady Shay…the last Shalott to walk our world."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">With a dramatic motion the curtain disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving
Shay exposed to the near two dozen men and demons.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Deliberately she lowered her gaze as she heard the gasps echo through the
room. It was humiliating enough to smell their rabid hunger. She didn't need to
see it written on their faces.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Is this a trick?" a dark voice demanded in disbelief. Hardly surprising. As
far as Shay knew she truly was the last Shalott remaining in the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"No trick, no illusion." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"As if I'd take your word for it, troll. I want proof."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Proof? Very well." There was a moment pause as Evor searched the crowd. "You
there, come forward," he commanded. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay tensed as she felt the cold chill that warned her it was a vampire
approaching. Her blood was more precious than gold to the undead. An aphrodisiac
that they would kill to procure. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">With her attention focused on the tall, gaunt vampire Shay barely noticed
when Evor grabbed her arm and used a knife to slice through the skin of her
forearm. Hissing softly the vamp leaned downward to lick the welling blood. His
entire body shivered as he lifted his head to regard her with stark hunger.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"There is human blood, but she is genuine Shalott," he rasped.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">With a smooth motion Evor had placed his pudgy form between the vamp and
Shay, shooing the predator away with a wave of his hand. Reluctantly the undead
creature left the stage, no doubt sensing the impending riot if he gave into his
impulse to sink his teeth into her and drain her dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Evor waited until the stage was cleared before moving to stand behind his
podium. He grasped his gavel and lifted it over his head.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Ridiculous twit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Satisfied? Good." Evor smacked the gavel onto the podium. "The bidding
starts at 50,000 dollars. Remember, gentlemen, cash only."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"55,000."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"60,000."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"61,000."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay's gaze once again dropped to her feet as the voices called out their
bids. Soon enough she would be forced to confront her new master.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">She didn't want to watch as they wrangled over her like a pack of dogs</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">slavering over a juicy bone. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"100,000 dollars." A shrill voice shouted from the back of the room.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">A sly smile touched Evor's thin lips. "A most generous bid, my good sir.
Anyone else? No? Going once…Going twice…"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"500,000."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">A sharp silence filled the room. Without even realizing what she was doing
Shay lifted her head to stare into the crowd jamming the auction floor.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">There was something about that silky dark voice. Something…familiar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">"Step forward," Evor demanded, his eyes shimmering red. "Step forward and
offer your name."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">There was a stir as the crowd parted. From the back shadows a tall, elegant
form glided forward. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">A hushed whisper spread through the room as the muted light revealed the
hauntingly beautiful face and satin curtain of silver hair that fell down his
back.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">It took only a glance to realize he was a vampire.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">No human could so closely resemble an angel that had fallen from heaven.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">And fallen recently. Or move with such liquid grace. Or cause the demons to
back away in wary fear.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Shay's breath caught in her throat. Not at his stunning beauty, or powerful
presence, or even the flamboyant velvet cloak that shrouded his slender form.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">It was the fact that she knew this vampire.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">He had been at her side when they had battled the coven of witches weeks ago.
And more importantly, he had been at her side when she had saved his life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">And now he was here bidding on her like she was no more than a piece of
property.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">Damn his rotten soul to hell.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Julie doesn’t know what to think when the man she’s had a crush on
her entire life --a man she’s sure is meant to be mated to her sister--
hits on her after she returns home from college. But the harder she
tries to distance herself from him, the harder he works to win her
over. She knows he couldn’t want to mate with her, a freak who was born
full human among shifters. So why won’t he accept her rejection?</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Brendan has been waiting for his mate to return for years. Now that
she’s finally home, there’s nothing that can keep him from her. Not
even her three alpha wolf brothers. But he’s not the only one who’s
after Julie. Something else wants to use her for its own evil purposes.
Her need for protection allows him to get close, but at what cost? Will
his love be enough to keep her safe?</b></i></span><br />

and they know each other so well since they grew up together the
relationship is smexy and sooooooooooo cute! </i></b></span><br />

<b><i>Samantha nervously wrung her hands. “Listen, I told
you I wasn’t going to cause trouble, but if you don’t believe me, maybe
I should just head out. I appreciate everything, and I’m feeling much
better now…”</i></b></div>

<b><i>Samantha stopped talking as Jason backed her up
against the side of her car. Towering over her, Jason drew her eyes to
his. He had a wild, almost feral look in his eyes, and a wave of desire
crashed through her. He gripped her hips as he pressed her against her
car door with his body.</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #20124d;">

<b><i>“I’m not worried you’re going to cause trouble,” he all but growled out.</i></b></div>
<b><i style="color: #20124d;">
</i></b>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #20124d;">
<b><i>Staring up into his eyes, altered from their mossy
green color to a pale yellow that practically glowed, Samantha felt heat
flood her core.</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #20124d;">

<b><i>“Then what are you worried about?” Samantha
whispered, gripping his forearms. He didn’t answer, but his gaze lowered
to her lips and he growled again, low and deep. From her position,
pushed up against the car by his hard chest, Samantha didn’t hear the
rumble so much as she felt it reverberate against her. With the car
behind her and the equally unyielding chest in front of her, Samantha
felt an unfamiliar spike in her desire as she realized there was no
escape. She didn’t want one. She had no thoughts of running away from
this man.</i></b></div>

<b><i>Jason slowly lowered his head and molded his lips to hers. His kiss was softer than she expected, barely exerting any pressure.</i></b></div>

<b><i>She stared into beastly eyes and knew the animal
was on a short leash. Wanting his wolf set free, she ran her hands up
his arms and locked them behind his neck. Deliberately arching her body
into his, she tried to make him snap. She wanted his untamed
passion--and she got exactly what she asked for.</i></b></div>
<b><i style="color: #20124d;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #20124d;">
<b><i>He pushed her harder against the car as his tongue
thrust into her mouth. It was exhilarating, and she moaned, closing her
eyes as she moved restlessly against him.</i></b></div>

<b><i>This kiss was unlike the careless assaults she’d
previously experienced. Jason’s kisses felt like he was claiming her
mouth as his own.</i></b></div>

<b><i>She freely gave him everything he demanded and
more. Samantha massaged his tongue with hers and let the world drift
away. Only the two of them existed in this new world. She felt a gentle
pressure on her hips, and realizing he had lifted her, she wrapped her
legs around his waist. His lower body held her up against her car,
completely supporting her. Being in his arms, depending on his strength
to keep her from falling, only turned Samantha on more. She deepened the
kiss and felt his fangs begin to extend. He lifted his hands from her
hips and pushed them up under her sweater to cup her small breasts. He
circled her stiff nipples through her lace bra with his thumbs, causing
her to moan deeply against his lips.</i></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #20124d;">
<b><i>This was by far the most exhilarating experience
she’d ever had, and she moved her body against him. She couldn’t get
close enough. She wanted to feel his naked flesh against hers. Samantha
didn’t know what miracle had made this strong, beautiful and giving man
desire her, but she wanted him, now, before he changed his mind.</i></b></div>

<b><span id="freeText9778883621752310299">This book is so awesome! I loved the small town feeling of this book. It was very Shiftery and I love the brothers in this book! They are so cute and smexy! The twist with what Samantha is, like what Shifter she is, was a shocker! I highly recommend this book to any Shifter fan! </span></b></div>
