REVIEW: Charmed Spirits by Carrie Ann Ryan!

Hey Book Lovers!

Witchy treat for you all! Here is my review on Charmed Spirits by Carrie Ann Ryan! The first book in her Holiday, Montana series!

CHARMED SPIRITS BY CARRIE ANN RYAN

Jordan Cross has returned to Holiday, Montana after eleven long years to clear out her late aunt's house, put it on the market, and figure out what
she wants to do with the rest of her life. Soon, she finds herself facing the town that turned its back on her because she was different. Because being labeled a witch in a small town didn't earn her many friends...especially when it wasn't a lie.

Matt Cooper has lived in Holiday his whole life. He's perfectly content being a bachelor alongside his four single brothers in a very small town. After all, the only woman he'd ever loved ran out on him without a goodbye. But now Jordan's back and just as bewitching as ever. Can they rekindle their romance with a town set against them?


REVIEW!

Wow! Just wow describes this book! I finished it within half a day and it was worth it!  Now I don't read that many Witchy books because it doesn't tickle my fancy BUT Charmed Spirits DID tickle my fancy! As I started reading, I wasn't so sure if she was a Witch but as I kept on reading I was like, " OH so she is a Witch! Awesome" then I was like, "So what happened to Matt?" but then I found out and was like, "OHHHH! So that's what happened to Matt! Crazy Pyro bitch!" I loved the small town theme of the book BUT most importantly.....I'm in love with ALL the Cooper brothers and I want to marry all of them!

I can't wait to read Justin's book, which is the second book, but I really want to know if Abby and Tyler get together! Oh I just want to slap that Stacey for saying that Abby was fat! Abby is curve!

I loved this book and I can't wait for more Holiday, Montana to come out!

Curvy Halloween interview and giveaway with Michelle Fawkes

Hey Book Lovers!

I have such a wonderful treat for you all! Please welcome Michelle Fawkes to my blog!


1. Hi, Michelle! I am so thrilled to have you here today. Please give us some background, to my followers,about Chubby Girl's Collection.

Thanks for having me! To be honest, the collection was a fluke that came about
from doing the first story, Chubby Girl Hot, now the lead story in the collection. That story received a lot of good feedback from readers wanting more, so I complied.

2. What inspired you to write about plus size women?


The ad industry has brainwashed a lot of people about "size" and what is normal or average. This has created a lot of unrealistic expectations in the minds of both men and women. As a friend of mine who is curvy said, "Curvy girl's have feelings, too and everyone has a right to be happy."


I gave this some thought and being a writer, played a little game of "what if" with myself. Chubby Girl Hot was the result.


3. Do you plan to continue the collection?


I've been very busy with other projects. However, I have thought I might

start a new story about the adventures of Brad and Katie, the two main
characters in the series, but I don't know where I'll get the time.

4. What are your views on Skinny women vs Plus size women? (In real life and in the land of books)


In books, everyone is svelte and beautiful, but that's a bit unrealistic. A

story can have elements of reality and still be fun and entertaining.

5. Do you think that more authors should write about Plus Size women?


Yes. "Plus size" is a misnomer. "Plus size" is now the new average.


6. What are you doing for Halloween?


Hiding.


7. Do you have any Halloween recipes to share with us?


Rum and coke.


8. Would you ever write a Halloween themed book?


Themed? I'm not sure.


9. What can we expect from you in the future?


I plan on branching out a bit and doing some kinky romance or sci fi erotica.


10. Is there anything else you'd like to add or tell us about you, your books or just anything?


I'm just me.

Chubby Girl Collection By Michelle Fawkes

Chubby Girl Hot
Katie is smart, attractive, and has a good job. She's a computer geek and graphic designer for a major corporation. People tell her she's pretty. And they always tell her she has a "great personality."

But Katie is chubby. And society has decreed that being chubby equals second class citizen. That's okay with Katie. She has dreams like everyone, but she's accepted her lot in life and makes the best of it. She knows she'll never get married or even have a real boyfriend, other than as a friend with sometimes benefits. Her life moves along in a quiet, predictable rut.


Until one day...


Chubby Girl's Vacation
Katie has finally found the man of her dreams. But is he? Handsome to the point of beautiful, a good job, and great in bed, Brad is everything a girl could want and Katie really can't believe her good luck.

But when the office cougar discovers Brad and Katie are going on vacation together, she sets out to ruin not only their travel plans, but also their relationship.

Will Katie give up or can she overcome her doubts about not being good enough?






Chubby Girl's Wedding
Brad has finally asked Katie to marry him. Despite her doubts about his commitment to a Rubenesque girl like her, Katie agrees.

There's only one catch, though. The stunningly handsome IT manager is the target of another woman's obsession and when spurned Angela learns of the engagement, she sets out to destroy the relationship and make Brad her own by force.

When Brad disappears, can Katie overcome her doubts and insecurities and rescue the man she loves?

REVIEW! Her Demonic Angel by Felicity Heaton!

Hey Book Lovers!

A nice follow up from my interview with Felicity Heaton and so I welcome you all to my review of Her Demonic Angel!

Her Demonic Angel by Felicity Heaton

A demonic angel with a heart of ice, Veiron walks a dark path with vengeance on his mind. Nothing will sway him from his mission to destroy his master... until he risks his life to enter Hell once more to save a mortal female. The fiery beauty makes him burn with hungers he must battle and needs he cannot deny, tempting him to surrender body and soul to her.


Erin is convinced her refusal to do the Devil’s bidding will see her die in a terrifying realm straight out of her nightmares. The last thing she expects is the lethally sensual warrior who breaks into her cell and awakens the darkest desires of her heart and a fierce longing to know the heat of his caress.


Pulled into an incredible world where war is set to ignite and darkness is on the rise, Erin races with Veiron to escape the Devil’s legions in a journey fraught with danger and filled with passion that flares white-hot.


When Erin is faced with a life-shattering realisation and an extraordinary destiny, will their love give them the strength to battle both Heaven and Hell or will they be parted forever?

REVIEW!

Halloween with fangs interview + giveaway with C.J.Ellisson

Hey Book Lovers!
 
Boy! Do I have a treat for you today! Please give a warm welcome to C.J.Ellison, author of Vampire Vacation!
 
1. Hi, C.J. Ellisson! I am so thrilled to have you here today! Please give us some background, to my followers, about The VV Inn series.

Thanks for having me! The vampire series I've written is a mix of suspense, intrigue, adventure, humor, and lots of sex. I can't really call it a romance since they're a married couple, but since I love reading good stories with heat I couldn't resist adding the erotic elements. The basic premise is an ancient vampire hiding a secret lives in a remote Alaskan location with her human husband, running a Fantasy Island type of getaway for her fellow undead. A dead body turns up in chapter one and the fun begins!
2. What inspires you to write?
 
Real life, things I read, and a great imagination! Inspiration can come form all around us. We just have to pay attention and take notes when an idea hits.

3. When did you decide to be an author?
I started writing as an escape. It was only when a friend who's a professional editor told me I was a natural that I started to dream it could really happen. I've only been writing for three and a half years. I'm still struggling to maintain a balance between home life, writing, and health. It's a daily challenge to say the least!
4. What other paranormal beings have you written about?
 
My adult series contains vampires, werewolves, shifters, witches, and wizards. The middle-grade book I'm penning for my kids contains some supernatural elements via fairies, people who share a bond with a certain type of animal, and physic powers.
5. Do you have any hobbies?
 
I love to read (gee, big surprise) and before I became a writer I used to read three to five books a week. Now it's closer to one, depending on my current deadline. I also like to garden, take pictures, hike, go camping, cook, do crafts with my kids, walk my dogs, and play board games.


6. I love Halloween! Is Halloween your favourite holiday? If not then what is?
I do love Halloween! We decorate the inside of the house, the whole front yard, and some years even throw big neighborhood parties. I also love Christmas. We're not religious, but decorating the house and celebrating with friends and family for the weeks before and after the holidays is always a favourite at our house, too.
7. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

This year I'm going to be at the Anne Rice Vampire Ball and Undead Con in New Orleans for the weekend prior to Halloween. I plan on dressing up as a vampire. For home, my husband and I have some costumes we never got to wear last year -- a Scottish Lass and Lord. The costumes were a little on the sexy side and we went to Disney with the kids, which was a unique experience, so we left them at home.
8. Do you have any Halloween recipes to share with us?

None, I'm lame. Sorry! I cook a lot, but recently have been focusing on low sugar, low salt, gluten free, and no processed foods. It's more work than I'd like, but I'm feeling better so the incentive to keep at it is strong.

9. What books can we except from you in the future?
I've recently finished a contemporary erotic romance called Vanilla Dom. It's the story of a shy woman discovering her sexuality and confidence and an ambitious man discovering what he values above all else in life, even over money. It's the first book in a new series, and there are three plotted titles for this couple. 


Next in my vampire series is a request from readers. I'm writing a prequel story detailing how the sexy werewolf Jonathan came to be Vivian's vampire servant. The book is plotted and started. I'm excited to share it with readers and hope to have it our this winter.
 10. Is there anything else you'd like to add or tell us about you, your books, or anything at all?

Thanks for the great interview, Michelle! I'd like to encourage readers to stop by my website at www.cjellisson.com and click on the books tab. I've got half of my books posted for free to introduce readers to the style and voice of my work before they buy. If they have an eReader, they should search for Just One Taste at their favourite online retailer. It's a freebie eBook of the first half of Vampire Vacation, book one in the V V Inn series -- a great way to sample the book instead of reading on the computer.
VAMPIRE VACATION BY C.J.ELLISSON!

Meet Vivian. She’s a 580-year-old vampire who exudes sex, has a talent for drama, and is passionate about two things: her human husband, Rafe, and their resort for the undead. Her ability to project physical illusions has created the perfect vacation spot—a dark, isolated Alaskan hideaway where visitors can have their wildest fantasies come true.
 
Vivian knows the best performance requires perfect timing, but the powerful vamp is put to the test when she discovers a corpse in a locked guestroom minutes before the next arrivals. Always cool-headed, Rafe hides the body, convinced he and Vivian can find the culprit without disturbing their guests.
 
Juggling the increasingly outrageous demands of their customers while tracking a killer isn’t easy. Will their poking and prodding give them the answers they need, or will it uncover secrets Vivian would kill to protect?
