INTRODUCTION

Hi everyone My name is Victoria Zumbrum, 40 years old, married 14 years with 1 son. This is my very first blog. So bear with me. I have always wanted to have my own blog. I have always loved to read. I enjoy getting lost in a good book.
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.

I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

Where

Filled
with childlike wonder and innocence, she took pleasure in stories,
imagining what it would be like to live in those pages. A longing
growing deep inside her.

She
knew she'd never have that life... Not in the lab. Not with them
studying her every move. So she decided to do something terrifying.









Paige
Lavoie is a writer, comic artist and self-proclaimed queen of silly
faces, with a passion for bring her characters to life with the power
of storytelling (including the undead ones) Paige spends her days
hiding underneath a parasol in sunny Orlando FL. and frolicking
through bustling convention centers, theme parks and farmers markets
with her husband and their fluffy dog named Oliver.

versus evil, light versus darkness, wages on.

to another man.


Alexandra has been
captured by the Gaerwitch, a Wiccan Sorceress who can be either
friend or foe. She  was instrumental in assisting Princess
Rozlynn in Prophecy’s Queen,  which ultimately led
to the birth of the twins and the death of Alexandra’s mother.


The separate armies of
the Pulat, Al-Ashal and the Dark Wizard grow stronger every day, as
the world grows closer to another Great War pitting good versus evil
for domination of the world.


The great Dragon Lord
Barak wields expanding power over thousands of disciples who wish
only to return to a time when the Dragon Lords ruled the world.


As the armies of men
come together in the inevitable battle for power between the Kingdom
of  Aren and the Free Cities, who will prevail? 


Will the Children of
The Prophecy get the chance to fulfill their destiny, or will evil
destroy light and plunge the world into a thousand years of darkness?
















I
have always had a passion for writing, and a special place in my
heart for Epic Fantasy. Inspired by others who have paved the way for
this genre, I have many stories to tell, and plan to bring them all
to you.


I
started going to a fantasy world in my mind many years ago, and the
adventures of Peter and Alexandra were my escape from the harsh
technical world all around me. The twins were enthusiastic,
energetic, eager to go out and explore their world, and willing to
take on any challenge necessary. I have often said that I travel to
the Upper Aren and come back and write about it, and I really do feel
that way at times.

My
own eclectic interests fueled the twin's activities, as I have done a
little of everything in my life. I suspect it's because of my adult
attention deficit disorder, and a need to try everything at least
once.

I
hope you enjoy the adventures of my characters and they become a part
of your lives, as they have long been a part of mine.

Cover Reveal Double Daddies by Madison Faye



Cover Reveal


Title: Double Daddies

Author: Madison Faye


Cover: Coverlüv

Photography: Sara Eirew

Release Date: January 29, 2018

Genre: Contemporary Romance/MFM Menage Romance (and obviously, pretty strong "daddy" kink)













Two older men who want to share,

To punish, and train, and make me theirs.

Four firm hands to spank and tease,

Two big daddies are what some brats need…

She’s off limits in too many ways to count.

Too young. Too untouched. Too much my deadbeat sister’s step-kid.

Five-foot nine and one-hundred and eleven pounds of pure. Fucking. Temptation.

She’s got no business living in this big old house with me and my best friend – two rough, hardened ex-marines more than twice her age. But she’s here, under my roof and under my rules.

…and she’s breaking every one of them.

Staying out late, flirting with boys, acting out, and being a royal brat every chance she gets. She’s been pushing her luck and getting away with murder the last month but that all stops now.

Because in this house, we have rules, and it’s time Kenzie Gates learned what happens to bad girl who break the rules.

This brat might need more than just a firm hand of discipline.

Good thing there’s two of us…

Buckle up and hold on tight, because we’re about to get filthy. This is quite possibly one of if not the dirtiest little book I’ve ever written. In fact, it’s the kind of book where you’d be mortified if your friends found out you were reading it. Trust me, I’m not gonna judge, but I thought you should be warned ;).

Alpha as fuck, completely over-the-top, and sweet enough to make you melt. This mfm romance is all about here - no m/m. Safe, no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.



































#1 bestselling contemporary romance author Madison Faye is the dirty alter ego of the very wholesome, very normal suburban housewife behind the stories. While she might be a wife, mom, and PTA organizer on the outside, there’s nothing but hot, steamy, and raunchy fantasies brewing right beneath the surface!


Tired of keeping them hidden inside or only having them come out in the bedroom, they’re all here in the form of some wickedly hot stories. Single-minded alpha hero, sinfully taboo relationships, and wildly over-the-top scenarios. If you love it extra dirty, extra hot, and extra naughty, this is the place for you!

A Meddle of Wizards by Alexandra Rushe Book Tour and Giveaway


A MEDDLE OF WIZARDS
by
Alexandra Rushe
Genre: Fantasy

Pub
Date: 1/9/2018



Welcome to Tandara, where gods are
fickle, nightmares are real, and trolls make excellent bakers . . .
Raine Stewart is convinced she’ll die
young and alone in Alabama, the victim of a chronic, mysterious
illness. Until a man in a shabby cloak steps out of her mirror and
demands her help to defeat a bloodthirsty wizard.
Raine shrugs it off as a
hallucination—just one more insult from her failing body—and
orders her intruder to take a hike. But the handsome figment of her
imagination won’t take no for an answer, and kidnaps her anyway,
launching her into a world of utmost danger—and urgent purpose.
Ruled by unpredictable gods and
unstable nations, Tandara is a land of shapeshifters and
weather-workers, queens and legends. Ravenous monsters and greedy
bounty hunters patrol unforgiving mountains. Riverboats pulled by
sea-cattle trade down broad waterways. And creatures of nightmare
stalk Raine herself, vicious in the pursuit of her blood.
But Raine isn’t helpless or alone.
She’s part of a band as resourceful as it is odd: a mage-shy
warrior, a tattered wizard, a tenderhearted giant, and a prickly
troll sorceress. Her new friends swear she has powers of her own. If
she can stay under their protection, she might just live long enough
to find out . . .




Alexandra Rushe was born in
South Alabama, and grew up climbing trees, searching for sprites and
fairies in the nearby woods, and dreaming of other worlds. The
daughter of an English teacher and a small-town judge, Rushe
developed a love of reading early on, and haunted the school and
local libraries, devouring fairy tales, myths, and tales of
adventure. In the seventh grade, she stumbled across a worn copy of
The Hobbit, and was forever changed. She loves fantasy and
paranormal, but only between the pages of a book—the flying monkeys
in The Wizard of Oz give her the creeps, and she eschews
horror movies. A psychic friend once proclaimed the linen closet in
Rushe’s bedroom a portal to another dimension, and she hasn’t
slept well since. Rushe is a world-class chicken.

pages

Six
months after a tragic war, the world of Myrrah has found peace. But
many of the heroes have not. 


Wandering
to avoid memories of lost friends and past actions, Zhao reluctantly
returns home to fulfill a promise to his sister. And to proclaim to
the elders of his people that their treatment of Air Elementals is
wrong. His homecoming is met with hostility but not for the reason he
expects. It is far worse.

To
protect his gifted niece from a life of hardship and subjugation like
the one he endured, Zhao must rescue his sister. Even if she doesn’t
wish it. Quickly caught once again in events greater than he can
handle alone, Zhao struggles to prevent a personal conflict from
erupting into a larger battle. But friends are distant, and more than
a few are wrestling with new problems of their own. 

Welcome
BACK to the world of Myrrah full of elemental magic and epic fantasy
adventure! A new trilogy begins in Games of Fire with book 1, Spark
of Defiance.

pages

Success
will destroy elemental magic. Failure condemns this world and the
next.


Named
Guardian of the Elemental Spheres, Lavinia seeks the lost gates to
the spirit realm and their ancient guardians. But some of the
guardians have left their duties and those that have stayed may prove
as dangerous as her enemy, whose wrath threatens the world. To end an
ancient punishment inflicted on them by the Goddess for their role in
a forgotten war, the Ashanti will conquer this world and that of
spirit to gain power over death. 

Lavinia must close the
gates to stop the Ashanti, even though by doing so she risks ending
all elemental powers. And the act has consequences greater than the
ancient guardians imagine.

But one gate has a new guardian as
well as the old, and the last time he saw Lavinia, he tried to kill
her before she stole his power. And he’s been seeking revenge
…

Continue this epic fantasy journey begun in book 1 of the
Games of Fire trilogy, Spark
of Defiance.

A
New Goddess
Games
of Fire Trilogy Book 3

The
time has come to end their punishment or the world.



For
nearly destroying the world in an ancient war, the Ashanti were
cursed by the Goddess Mhyrah with lifespans of less than a decade. To
regain normal lives for his people, Beh’kana, the Ashanti King,
will conquer death by gaining control of the source of all elemental
magic: the spirit realm. Even if he must burn the world to do so.
After all, he already killed his closest friend to gain the Ashanti
throne.


But
his defeat at the Earth Gate nearly cost him his life. 

Lavinia
did not seek to be named Guardian of the Spheres when she touched
each to gain control of elemental power. But now that choice has
propelled her to being the key to stop the Ashanti. She controls the
gates that allow magic into the world. And she must close them or the
Ashanti will cross into the spirit realm and gain power beyond
imagination, enough to enslave or destroy the world they once sought
to rule. 

But
with the closure of each gate, an elemental power is lost.

Only
two gates remain open. Magic is faint. Just when the fight grows the
most desperate. To win needed help, Lavinia has promised a man who
once tried to kill her best friend that she would open the gates and
restore magic again. 

It
might give them the power to fight the Ashanti or it will give their
enemy the world. 

Discover
the end to the epic fantasy journey begun in book 1 of the Games of
Fire trilogy, Spark
of Defiance, and
continued through book 2, Gates
of Fire & Earth. The
struggle for the power over life and death as well as all the
elements comes to a dramatic conclusion. Can a cruel ancient
punishment be ended without destroying magic or the world? Welcome

Water, Air, and Spirit who shape it. Pick up book 3 of the Games of
