Destined to Crave by Setta Jay




Fate gave them love… then tore them apart.
The descendant of two almighty Gods and a Guardian of Earth, Eirykr “Rykr” is born of immense power. Yet, no amount of strength or skill can save him from the curse that tore him away from his first and only love. Turned into a shadowy assassin, he wields the demons bound to his soul with the ruthlessness of a blade. For nearly a decade, he’s searched for the key to free himself, all the while watching over and dangerously craving the beautiful mate who believes she’s driven him away.
Lucy is a born protector, a trait of her Guardian lineage. When her greatest gift was torn from her, leaving a gaping hole in her soul, she refuses to allow a young Rykr, her known mate, to suffer the same dire consequences. Her fear forces her to make a haunting decision and with a grave threat, she crushes him, demanding they part for a decade. Yet, as the years pass she can feel him watching her from the shadows, conjuring wild fantasies that make her ache for him to finally end their torment.
As time ticks toward the decade mark, dark forces rush to descend. Will Rykr’s secret and relentless need to protect Lucy condemn them to a hopeless destiny of constant craving? Or will Lucy bind them for all eternity, no matter the violent threat to her very soul?
Warning: This title contains dirty talk, bad language and erotically charged scenes meant to scorch your eReader.
*The entire Guardians of the Realms series is available for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.*

☆Ecstasy Claimed is Free and is the second in series of the Guardians of the Realms Series!☆
Gregoire has spent centuries with his brother Guardians fighting for the safety and security of the Realms. Endless decades of battling mixed with bouts of mindless sex to sate his needs. Needs that haven’t truly been fulfilled since she was born. The one destined to be his bonded mate. For the last twenty five years Gregoire has kept his distance giving her time to grow into a female who is capable of handling his intense dominance.
Alyssa has done everything that was expected of her, until the day she finds out she has a mate who has left her unclaimed. Unheard of when mates are rare and coveted. Even worse is the fact that he is the most powerful of her race and a Guardian of the Realms. Furious at the rejection she decides she is now in charge of her life. No more will she allow others to rule her.
Against the backdrop of evil forces that are conspiring to topple the Realms, can Gregoire find his wayward mate before she is taken by corrupt Immortals? Can Alyssa forgive him and learn to exert her own female power while surrendering to his savage passion? And will the two of them be able to forge a mate bond that cannot be severed... or will they be forever cursed with an Ecstasy Unclaimed?
Warning: Dirty talking, possessive alpha male; scenes of sexual exhibition; an instance of f/f; spankings and more.

Cover Reveal Watching by J.L. Ostle


Cover Reveal
Title: Watching
Author: J.L. Ostle
Cover Designer: Kathryn Jacoby
Release Date: September 6, 2017











This is an erotica story that contains subject matter that may trigger sensitive readers. All characters are adults and all interactions are consensual also involving f/f and f/f/m. Please enjoy with an open mind.
It was meant to be research, help my writer's block but it soon became my addiction...
My life was boring and normal until one girl turned my world upside down, making me crave something that is hard to fulfill.
A fetish that helps give me an exploding release.
Going on nights out, I look for those with an open mind, who want that thrill in the bedroom.
But no emotions can be involved.
And I have one rule... I don't let the guy inside me.
Besides, sex changes things.
I kept this rule until one couple from a dating app made it hard for me to say no, bringing me into a world of lust, want and need.
They want me to join their fantasies, to help them fulfill their desires, but the longer I spend with them, the more I start to get attached.
Already breaking my own rules.
Especially my main one.
I try and stay strong, but every look and every touch, I can feel myself breaking down.

Review of Evil Awakened The Kiche Chronicles by J.M. Ledu





From one generation to the next, legends of good and evil have been passed down around Indian campfires. With each passing generation, less is believed. To the young, they’re just stories, but to the elders, they are warnings.

In the woods, which border between the reservation and the Everglades, four teenage Cree braves recite an ancient ritual. Not understanding the words they say or the implications of their actions, they call forth a demon which had been cast into the netherworld with no chance of escape . . . unless man called it back. Free, it has one plan; build an army of beasts, and ultimately, become immortal by feeding on the spirit of the one destined to become the Kiche—the Sky Spirit Goddess.

It has been foretold that the gates of the netherworld will be opened and it will take the wiles and courage of a sixteen-year-old girl, whose skin is as white as winter’s snow, to send the demons back and save an entire nation.

Pamoon, left abandoned at birth on a Cree reservation, has been marked with a flame on both her neck and left palm. All her life, they have been a nuisance, but now they mark her destiny. With the fate of her friends’ lives on the line, will she have the courage to pick up the gauntlet and walk the path the fates chose for her before her birth? In EVIL AWAKENED, Pamoon and her wolf cub, Scout, begin a journey that may end in her demise or might possibly take her to worlds only humans can imagine. A journey to both heaven and hell. A path only the one destined to become the Kiche—the Sky Spirit Goddess—can travel. She’ll need help if she is to survive; help only the spirits can provide. Let’s pray it arrives in time.

Whatever evil man creates, only man can defeat.

MY REVIEW:

EVIL AWAKENED IS BOOK 1 IN THE KICHE CHRONICLES AND THE FIRST BOOK I HAVE READ BY AUTHOR J.M. LEDU.  LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I REALLY LOVED AND ENJOYED THIS BOOK.  IT IS A GREAT START TO A NEW SERIES.  I FELL IN LOVE WITH ALL THE CHARACTERS ESPECIALLY PAMOON.  SHE IS A TYPICAL 16 YEAR OLD GIRL. SHE WAS LEFT AT BIRTH ON THE CREE RESERVATION AND THE CREE RAISED AND ACCEPTED HER AS THEIR OWN.  I LOVE READING BOOKS WITH INDIAN LEGENDS USED IN THE STORY.  HER COMING WAS FORETOLD TO SAVE THE A NATION AND SEND THE DEMONS BACK.  WILL SHE SUCCEED?

EVIL AWAKENED IS SUCH A WONDERFUL AND MAGICAL STORY FILLED WITH SOME MAGICAL CHARACTERS.  IT IS A YOUNG ADULT FANTASY BOOK FILLED WITH INDIAN LORE AND ADVENTURE.  THERE IS A LOT OF ACTION AND MYSTERY.   I LOVED WATCHING PAMOON'S CHARACTER GROW AND ACCEPT HER DESTINY.  SHE IS VERY STRONG AND DETERMINED TO PROTECT HER PEOPLE AND DEFEAT THE DEMONS.  I LOVE HOW THE CREE ACCEPTED HER AS THEIR OWN AND WERE THERE FOR HER. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD FANTASY READ FILLED WITH INDIAN LORE, YOU WILL LOVE EVIL AWAKENED.  I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES.  I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE WHAT OTHER DEMONS FACE AND MAYBE EVEN SOME ROMANCE.  5 STARS

Release Blitz Break the Bed by Joanna Blake


Release Blitz
Title: Break the Bed
Author: Joanna Blake
Cover Designer: Mayhem Cover Creations
Release Date: August 23, 2017









I’m willing to fight dirty. Blackmail, seduction, and bribery. Nothing is beneath me when I decide I want her in my bed.



I drink champagne for breakfast and have dozens of women at my beck and call. I don’t need anything, or so I tell myself. Life is perfect until she walks in…

Sabrina is the label’s answer to my PR situation. She’s so beautiful she makes me think crazy things. Like that maybe my perfect life is pretty empty without her.

For some reason, she’s immune to my charms. But she doesn’t realize how low I will go when I want something badly enough.

I can’t seem to stop ruffling her feathers, even if I feel bad about it afterwards.

She’s off limits. But when we start butting heads, I want to settle things the old-fashioned way.

I want to break the bed.

*The ROCK GODS series can be read out of order or as stand alone stories. Happy ever after guaranteed and no cheating!*
















Joanna Blake loves good old fashioned romance, men who open doors and work with their hands. Hot Blooded Heroes is a series of sizzling stories about True Blue American men and the women who love them. She's thrilled to be collaborating with Pincushion Press on her new series! Come along for the ride!

XoX,

Joanna

Romance between the pages Podcas



Ever wondered about the personalities behind your favorite books? Victoria Danann's new podcast with Riley J. Ford has an incredible lineup of authors booked through the spring. No question is out of bounds. Check it out!


THIS WEEK'S BEST SELLING AUTHOR...
JULIE KENNER!


J. Kenner (aka Julie Kenner) is the New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal and #1 International bestselling author of over seventy novels, novellas and short stories in a variety of genres.


Though known primarily for her award-winning and international bestselling erotic romances (including the Stark and Most Wanted series) that have reached as high as #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, JK has been writing full time for over a decade in a variety of genres including paranormal and contemporary romance, “chicklit” suspense, urban fantasy, and paranormal mommy lit.


JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swoon for them.” A five time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark Trilogy). Her Demon Hunting Soccer Mom series (as Julie Kenner) is currently in development with AwesomenessTV/Awestruck.
Her books have sold over three million copies and are published in over twenty languages.


In her previous career as an attorney, JK worked as a clerk on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and practiced primarily civil, entertainment and First Amendment litigation in Los Angeles and Irvine, California, as well as in Austin, Texas. She currently lives in Central Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and two rather spastic cats.
