<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><b><i>James Alexander Malcolm McKenzie Fraser</i></b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><b><i></i></b>and why he is the <i>BEST</i> book boyfriend of probably <i>ALL</i> time. <b><i>10 REASONS</i></b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">I started the Outlander series by Diana Galbadon late in its life. Only 2 years ago did I discover this talented author and the world she had created nearly 26 years ago. I fell in<i> L</i>ove.</span><br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2hWEnm4" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeS6_zyG7ni4huhyphenhyphenQ3Am0gDDGRq_4GpiH41-geyQ05hgQOkqepY8IlFQ4VJ60oHJ_K29Snf6tV8e89SexKScH7zxIkHPLPtQSoxUbO_0mG-3dXyhYNq1odlNpn0gq5aIWPLr0eBH9l5CiX/s200/61o%252BneALICL.jpg" width="118" /></span></a><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"> There was a lot of hoopla surrounding the series and the NEW television production by the STARZ network. This is when I decided to open the book and read it for myself.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"> (From previous experience with the HBO True Blood series I knew how they could take a set of great books and completely tear them and the characters to shreds.)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"> I wanted to get the author's original vision before I started the show. And boy, am I ever glad that I embarked on the fabulous journey of time travel and the most awe inspiring love story of all time. <i>(I consider the story more epic than Pride and Prejudice by the great Jane Austin.)</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: #999999; color: white;"><br /></span>
<i><b><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Jamie, in my opinion, is what every woman wants in a man.</span></b></i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: #999999; color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"> Here are my</span></span><br />
<b><i><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-size: large;"> Top 10 reasons.</span></i></b><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">1. He is tall (6'4), red-haired (<i>described as a deer pelt</i>), Scottish, devastatingly handsome, and has an accent that will make you swoon every time you hear it. However, Jaime is marked by scars all through the book at various times through the series. Each scar lends to his bravery and heroism. Also, his love, as Claire carves a "C" on his thumb..</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.61px;">"A Highlander in full regalia is an impressive sight--any Highlander, no matter how old, ill-favored, or crabbed in appearance. A tall, straight-bodied, and by no means ill-favored young Highlander at close range is breath-taking." </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">2,. He's wise beyond his years, (At the beginning of the series Jamie is only 22 years old. Born in 1721. The book begins when Clair travels to 1743.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">3. He's charming.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">4. He's extremely Loyal.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">5. He has a wonderful sense of humor. </span><span style="background-color: #eeeecc; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.61px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.61px;">"Aye, I believe ye, Sassenach. But it would ha' been a good deal easier if you'd only been a witch." (Chapter 25, "Thou Shalt Not Suffer a Witch to Live", p. 406</span> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">6. He's educated and actually listens to Claire when she speaks and trusts that she tells him the truth.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Honestly, I could go on and on about Jamie's amicable qualities.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">7. Jaime speaks multiple languages. Gaelic, English, French, Spanish, German, Latin, Italian, Greek, a little Chinese and Hebrew,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">8. That KILT and those sexy as hell knees. I have to give credit to the Star Sam Heughan for making me realize this is an overlooked body part.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">9. He has beautiful nicknames for Claire. Who doesn't love endearments?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">10. He's an incredible Father and Foster Father.</span><br />

Malek has never dealt with and accepted the death of his first mate, Carmen, and Gina has never been able to let go of the pain she suffered at the hands of her first mate, an abusive half-Dacian named Arman. But now that Malek and Gina have met, they had better start getting over their pasts, and fast, because Gina is Malek's new mate, and she's on the run from a pair of Dacian hunter-assassins out for blood vengeance.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px; text-align: left;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px; text-align: left;">Neither Gina nor Malek are eager to see her fill the role of mate, but biology and Mother Nature don't want to hear their excuses. The longer Malek and Gina fight the bond between them, the more they will suffer. Will they be able to get over their painful pasts and accept the healing they can give to each other before it's too late, or will they wait too long and lose each other forever?</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">Malek choked back his emotion.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">Somewhere between Micah's office and the thick
concrete column he held Gina against, Malek's reserve had broken. Just that
quickly, Gina had skinned him, cleaned him, and thrown him on the grill, making
short work of all that remained of his denial that she was his mate.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">In a blink, she had disarmed him. Only a mate
held such power over a male.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">Had it been Gina's ruthless verbal assault all
the way down the stairs that had finally broken through his walls? Or the
mention of her former mate and what he had done to her, which sparked Malek's
need to protect her? Had it been her confession that she had heard his
proclamation in her cell weeks ago? Or was it the simple truth that she was, in
fact, his mate? And, as such, she had tremendous power over him?<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">How about all of the above? <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">What torment had she suffered at the hands of
that half-Dacian bastard she had been mated to before? What had he done to her?
And how had she survived? He pulled back, and his gaze ranged her face. Such
beauty, such fire. She stole his breath, and he swayed from her heady scent. He
would treat her like a queen. His queen. And he would revere and bow to her
command every day, tend to her needs, care for her, and protect her with his
life if he had to.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">What was happening to him? He couldn’t move,
couldn’t breathe. In her bewitching way, Gina drew him in. She was a blossom,
and he was the honeybee eager for her nectar.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">But what he had said that day in her cell was
still true. He wasn't worthy of her. She deserved more than he could give. As
much as he wanted to be her everything, he knew he couldn't. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">His resolve waned. He could no longer deny how
much he wanted Gina, but he still couldn't have her. It would be unfair to
claim her as his when he still clung to a ghost. Carmen still held him in the
past. Carmen still possessed half his heart, which meant he couldn't give all
of himself to Gina. And she deserved all of him, not merely a part.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">Sacrifice replaced anger. Compassion replaced
aggression. Gina had already suffered enough pain at the hands of another, and
all Malek could offer her was more of the same. With his heart in two places,
he could never give her all of him and would always pull her to him then push
her away, just as he had done from the moment he saw her in Micah's office. She
would be a Ping-Pong ball. Back and forth, back and forth. He would constantly
fight himself to reconcile the two halves of his heart into one, and that
wasn't fair to her. To try and make a life with her under such circumstances—to
cheat her out of a full life with someone else who could give her his whole
heart and not just half—would be selfish. Not only that, it was degrading and
disrespectful to her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">What was happening between them could never be.
He simply couldn’t let her into his heart. Not because he no longer wanted to.
Because, damn him, he did. But how do you let someone into your heart when half
of it still lies with another?<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">In a blink, the reality slammed him with a pain
more brutal than what he'd suffered so far, because this pain came with clarity
of mind, body, and soul. He would always cause Gina pain. It was inevitable.
Even if he claimed her as his mate, he would always hurt her. Why? Because a
part of him—the part still attached to Carmen—would always drive Gina away.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 23.75pt;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;">Frowning, he looked down and stepped back. “I
can’t do this. I’m sorry, but this can’t happen, Gina. No matter how much I
don’t want to, I will always hurt you.” He turned, lowered his head, and walked
away, a man defeated by himself.</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Batang;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: white;">In Return of the Assassin, I've written a story
about two characters, Malek and Gina, who are carrying heavy emotional baggage
that prevents them from opening up to the love between them. For them, the
challenge is in letting go of the past so they can embrace the present and
future, which is easier said than done, because they're also running out of
time. Malek will eventually die if he doesn't accept Gina, and Gina has two
vicious vampire hunters out for her blood. Add to that one spurned female, and we've
got a fireworks show of dangerous possibilities. And if initial reader response
is any indication, I predict readers will need a box of Kleenex to read this
one. I have yet to talk to one reader who didn't cry while reading this story.
But don't worry, everyone gets what they deserve. Return of the Assassin is a
romance, after all.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

along my tour, where I ask a randomly selected character from the series a

to the other side of his mouth and shifts his pale green eyes uncomfortably.
With his darker skin, bald head, and unusual eyes, Trace is really magnificent
to look at. He uncrosses his sculpted arms and plucks the match stick from his
mouth. "I'd go back to when my mother died and save her." He bites
the end of the match stick again, closes his lips around it as if he's chewing,
and then gets up and walks away. That's my Trace, a man of few words and always
a mystery.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #999999;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

and that is especially true for Lorelei McAlister. Unfortunately for her,
that is exactly where the world’s fate has decided to take up residence.
Lorelei has seen firsthand the horrors that lie beneath our everyday world. And
those horrors are getting her friends killed. Because of this, she agrees to
leave the sanctity of her hometown and is sent to a different world entirely. A
boarding school. But even here she is being watched. Someone knows what she is.
What she carries inside her soul. And on top of that she’s seeing
visions. This is nothing new for Lorelei. But these visions are
something more: death, destruction, and the end of the world.
Lorelei must face the fact that there are people who want her dead, and no
matter where she goes, no matter how far she runs, the lives of her friends and
family are in mortal peril. Lucky for her, her friends and family include
the handsome Angel of Death, a fiercely protective half-angel, and a ragtag
group of loyal supporters who aren't afraid to get a little dirty in the name
of fighting pure evil.</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">NYTimes and USA Today Bestselling Author Darynda Jones has
won numerous awards for her work, including a prestigious Golden Heart®, a
Rebecca, two Hold Medallions, a RITA ®, and a Daphne du Maurier, and
she has received stellar reviews from dozens of publications including starred
reviews from Publisher’s Weekly, Booklist, and the Library Journal. As a born
storyteller, Darynda grew up spinning tales of dashing damsels and heroes in
distress for any unfortunate soul who happened by, annoying man and beast
alike, and she is ever so grateful for the opportunity to carry on that
tradition. She currently has two series with St. Martin’s Press: The Charley
Davidson Series and the Darklight Trilogy. She lives in the Land of
Enchantment, also known as New Mexico, with her husband of almost 30 years and
two beautiful sons, the Mighty, Mighty Jones Boys. She can be found at <a href="http://www.daryndajones.com/">www.daryndajones.com</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

When a matter of life and death threatens to tear apart her family, Delaine makes the ultimate sacrifice. She auctions herself off at Chicago’s most exclusive erotic club. Now she belongs to Noah Crawford, a wealthy mogul who introduces her to a seductive feast of the senses, awakening desires she only dreamed about. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">Noah doesn’t know why Delaine sold her body for a cool two mil. But it’s the perfect business arrangement. The inexperienced beauty will learn to satisfy his every sensual need, yet never touch his heart. Almost immediately their relationship generates heat—in more ways than one. When they fight, they take no prisoners. When they love, they show no mercy. When they’re together, they never want to leave each other’s arms. But soon, their intense, physical bond will take an unexpected turn—evolving into something neither has bargained for: the promise of a lasting love.</span></span><br />

L. Parker is a romance author who writes stories that sizzle. She's a small-town girl with big-city dreams and enough tenacity to see them come to fruition. Having been the outgoing sort for all her life--which translates to "she just wouldn't shut the hell up"--it's no wonder Parker eventually turned to writing as a way to let her voice, and those of the people living inside her head, be heard. She loves hard, laughs until it hurts, and lives like there's no tomorrow. In her world, everything truly does happen for a reason.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">Received ARC from author. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">I have to start out by saying I do not normally read erotica. I am stuck in the paranormal genre and love it dearly. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">That being said I did try to read the very popular 50 because I wanted to know what all the hype was about. How could that many people be wrong. Sadly, I only made it through 3 chapters, so I kinda hate that this book is being compared to it. I've never read Bared To You or any of those books. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">This book came to me as quite the surprise. I enjoyed the concept in the beginning. I won't rewrite the book blurb, but you get the idea. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">I am giving this book 5 stars based on the enjoyment level. CL Parker writes greats sex scenes and if that is what you like then this book is for you. It is jammed packed with hang your tongue out, panting, change your underwear SEX. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">Noah's character is easy to like and Delaine's inner monologue is extremely funny. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">If you like Erotica then you will LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. Secretly, my inner paranormal really wanted them to turn into something.

<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">David Johnson gets the job of a lifetime when billionaire mogul J. R. Rickman ("Call me Rick") hires him on as his Personal Assistant. In all of the qualifications for the job, Rick prizes one above the rest -- that David be an adventurous man. Rick promises him amazing sites and new experiences. David finds out those adventures don't just come in the boardroom either. David decides that being His Man Friday is a pretty exciting job after all.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">Dave Johnson is about to celebrate his third anniversary as J. R. Rickman's Personal Attache and sometime lover. The milestone brings complications, however. To celebrate, Rick names Dave President and CEO of a new holding, bring their relationship to a new level. But Elyssa decides she wants more from her relationship Dave, adding a little more complication to his life. She knows nothing about what really goes on between the men. Dave is going to have to decide what he really wants from both Rick and Elyssa, and life as His Man Saturday.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="color: white;">EXCERPT:</span></i></b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">“Papa, I have – oh, excuse me.”</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The moment I turned my head to see who had joined us, I felt the breath leave my body in one great rush. I know I looked stupid as hell but the sight of the newcomer reduced me to a puddle in a moment. My mouth hung open; I couldn’t look away. </span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">A vision of Grecian beauty, he reminded me very much of Michelangelo’s David. If I had to guess at his age, I would have put him about around twenty-five or so. His black hair was curly, framing his head like a halo. His face was almost feminine in its beauty with eyes the color of warm chocolate, a strong aquiline nose, and lips that looked full and pouty. He had high cheekbones that added the air of strength to his face. When I allowed myself the ability to look lower, I saw that he was slim and well-toned. His shoulders weren’t huge but they were broad enough to make his waist look small. I wondered what his arse looked like, making a mental image of the perfectly rounded globes. When he turned to close the door, I saw that I was right. </span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">“My son, Niko -- Nikolos.”</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The son took my hand, shaking it with much less vigor than his father had displayed, but Nikolos shook it with no less warmth.</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">“David…uh, Dave. Call me Dave.”</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">“I am pleased to meet you, Dave.” His voice was less accented than his father’s, his English flawless. He spoke the next words to Stavros, but his eyes never left mine. “Papa, the mill is fixed; you can lead the tour there tomorrow. It was just a branch got caught in the grinder.”</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">“Wonderful,” Stavros bellowed.</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">“Grinder?” I asked.</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">When Niko smiled, his face lit up with a glow. “Yes, the olives are ground so that we can extract the oil from them.” </span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">I smiled back. “I look forward to the tour then. I can’t wait to see how this is all done.”</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Stavros clapped his hand on my back and laughed. “Good, good. We will take you on tour tomorrow.” With that, he grabbed my shoulders and pulled me into a bear hug that I thought would break my ribs. Then, he kissed both my cheeks and patted them with his huge hands. “Good, good. Come now, Niko, we must let them rest. He and beautiful woman will need rest before the feast.”</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Niko glanced at me with one eyebrow raised. I wasn’t sure what message he was sending but I had a good feeling I knew. How could I send the message back to him that his invitation was welcome? I licked my lower lip, trying to think, but that seemed to be the right one. He nodded, still smiling. </span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">“Yes, Papa, we will go.” He turned and left the villa without another word.</span><br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">“Rest well, Mr. Dave. I will send Niko to get you when it is time.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Well I was lucky enough to be able to ask Mrs. Darynda Jones some questions. <i> Tomorrow </i>Fifth Grave Past the Light releases. I was also privileged enough to get an Advanced Readers Copy. I will tell you this much. SPOILER! This is the BEST one yet! Fell in love with REYES all over again. Check out my review at the bottom of the interview. ENJOY! </span><br />
<b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">What would you do if you found ….oh let’s say ….
A young dead girl under your bed….scratching?</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Bwahahaha!!! I’d run. No questions asked. It wouldn’t matter
if I had been sleeping naked, either. I’d be out the door and down the street
before I realized I’d forgotten something.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-style: italic; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Did you ever think there would be 5 or more
books?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">That was my dream the moment I came up with the character of
Charley Davidson. But did I know that it would come to fruition? No way. I am
thrilled beyond measure and hope there will be many, many more to come.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Was this always the path for Charley and Reyes?
Or has it evolved?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">Yes, though it has evolved faster than I’d originally
envisioned. I actually feared putting them together-together, if you know what
I mean. Like in a committed relationship. Then I looked around at some of the
most talented, best selling authors out there. Suddenly, all the cool kids were
doing it and I couldn't wait to join in. Also I got death threats. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">That being said, their relationship has taken a slight turn
since my original vision, but that won’t happen until book six.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">If Charley can do what Reyes can do, then can
Reyes do what Charley can do?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Nope. :)</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Can people pass through Reyes?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">Not intentionally, but he is a portal to hell, so one would
think they could. Sadly, no one wants to go to hell, so that theory has never
been tested.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">We found out in book 4 that Charley is part of a
bigger picture. When will we learn more about these light beings?</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">She is definitely part of a bigger picture, but not because
of her heritage or the race of beings she comes from. However, I do plan on
bringing them into the picture at some point. Can you imagine her meeting her
celestial parents? They are royalty, you know.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="color: #f1c232; text-indent: -0.25in;">If Reyes was created by Satan then who is his
mother?</b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><i>He was exactly that: Created. Much like the stars in the
heavens, he was made from the melding of molecules and the eternal fires of
sin, where atoms bonded and formed the perfect being that we know as Reyes
Alexander Farrow. He is the son of what we think of as evil, but he was made
from light, much like our own sun. He is an immaculate balance of this light
and the darkness from which he was formed and, unfortunately for his father, he
can choose which path to take.</i> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Was Garrett sent to hell or did he do something
in his past to already take him there.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">He was most definitely sent, and sent for a reason. He was
not slated for a trip to the basement, but as fate would have it, his temporarily
state of death-ness let someone (ahem) take advantage of the situation.
Needless to say, Garrett is a bit miffed.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Sadly, she gets sidetracked when the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, moves in next door. As he is the main suspect in her arson case, she is determined to stay away from him until she can find out the truth. According to her therapist, however, she lacks conviction. </span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">When dead women start appearing in her apartment - lost, confused and terrified beyond reason - Charley has no choice but to ask for Reyes's help, especially when it becomes apparent that her own sister Gemma is the serial killer's next target. With his ability to observe incorporeally, surely he can find out who's responsible. And even if he can't, he is the one man alive who could protect Gemma no matter who or what came at her. But he wants something in return: Charley. All of her - body and soul. And to keep her sister safe, it is a price she is willing to pay</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;"><span style="color: white;">Honestly, my mind is a puddle of mud right now. This is the best book yet, and I don't say that lightly. I'll not go over and try to rewrite the blurb and try to fancy it up with my own words. I will say it is pact full of more suspense and definitely MORE dead people with mysteries to be solved. I love Reyes even more now than I had in the past (if that was even possible) OMG, this man/being is sexier then the hell he was forged from. The writing is superbly Darynda. Wit, sas, sex;it's all back and in large doses. I love you Darynda. You write one of the best stories out there. I can't wait for 6th. Oh, and thanks for making me leave a light ON! </span></span></div>

the daughter of the sheriff in a small town like Holden Ridge means that
eighteen-year-old Danielle “Dani” Marks’ life is under constant surveillance. She’s

twirled a lock of my dark hair between his fingers, bringing the soft tendril
to his nose as he drew in a deep breath.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">“Do
I still smell like lemon cake?” I asked. My fingers wandered along the tight
muscles on his arms, sliding underneath the sleeves of his light grey T-shirt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">He
suddenly crouched low and ran his nose along the length of my body—close and
inviting. God, I loved it when he did that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">What
a strange thing to love about a man. The gesture felt erotic and the tiny hairs
on my arms would stand up. With each inhale, his soft purr rumbled and I pulled
his face close to mine, planting a soft kiss on his warm cheek. He caged me
with arms that had once climbed a thirty-foot tree with blinding speed to
rescue me—his agile body leaping from branch to branch as he held me tightly to
him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">“Put
your mouth on mine, Little Raven. I’m ready for a taste of lemon cake,” he said
in a deep and tumbling voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">“Maybe
I’m not so sweet,” I whispered, wetting my lower lip with a sweep of my tongue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Logan’s
eyes followed every movement, and he licked his lips in response. “I want your

kiss.”</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

obscure music, watching movies, reading, discovering new ways to humiliate
myself bowling, and burning up my laptop battery on the internet. I live with a

little, I used to make up stories in my head in a futile attempt to bore myself
to sleep. The problem was, I'd get so wrapped up in my "head stories"
that I would continue them through the following nights, changing it up each
time to make it more exciting. Eventually, I started writing my ideas down more
and more, creating short stories which evolved into poetry.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: white;">I am finally doing what I have always wanted to: giving my
characters a pulse through publishing. I write adult urban fantasy romance, but
I don't like labels. I let the story tell itself, and color outside the lines.
I am not a YA author, but I think it’s pretty great that there are so many
books available to teens in Urban Fantasy and Paranormal. These are the future
readers!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Sixteen-year old Peyton Jones had it all: straight A's in

The steps began to get louder as each second passed. My heart was pounding to its own quick rhythm. A hand grasped my shoulder and I squeezed my eyes shut expecting the worse. I began to quiver uncontrollably, wanting to scream, to<span class="yiv1081388984text_exposed_show" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1363565297424_24322"> run as hard as I could, but my feet were frozen. I could only stand there as my tears mixed with the rain pouring over me.<br /><br />The grip was released, and suddenly an arm snaked around my back turning me in the opposite direction. I couldn’t muster up the courage to look at the person helping me. I could only assume it wasn’t Aaron. Whoever it was had too gentle of a touch. Yet instead of feeling relief a sense of nausea washed over me. Granted, I was momentarily safe, but the emotions coursing through me had made it—for a brief moment—feel like it was happening all over again.<br /><br />I didn’t want to be vulnerable in front of anyone who could take advantage of me. With my heart going 100 miles per hour in my chest, I tried to push away from the person and nothing happened. They didn’t budge and their grip around me was too strong. After many deep breaths, I got the courage to glance up into eyes the color of emeralds—eyes filled with concern. My legs gave out and I sagged in his arms. Steve didn’t hesitate. He slowly lowered me to the wet asphalt and sat there while I sobbed into his already wet shirt.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">Last March, I published my first book, Rise of the Fallen,
which was the story of a tortured vampire named Micah Black. Micah had just
lost his second mate (well, more of a half-mate) and was seeking out his own
death when his angel, Samantha Garrett, found and saved him. Not only did she
startle off the drecks who had beaten him to within an inch of his life, but in
her Micah found his true mate. The one he was meant to be with forever. Sam
brought him back and gave him a reason to live, but in doing so, she had put
herself in danger. Not only did the drecks now have her on their radar, but her
abusive ex-husband was trying to track her down, as well.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">I won't give away the ending for those who have yet to read
the book, but in the year since Rise of the Fallen was published as the first
book in my All the King's Men series, I've seen an enormous outpouring of love
for him and his world, which has grown now to four books in the series, with at
least ten more to go, along with a sister series that's in development.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the streets of Chicago exists an uneasy, centuries-old truce between vampires
and their distant cousins, a race of shifters called drecks. Vampire
enforcement agency, All the King’s Men (AKM), is charged with maintaining the
truce, but when volatile enforcer Micah Black loses his mate and falls into the
biological agony that results from the broken bond, he tests the boundaries of
the truce by seeking out Apostle, a leader in the dreck community. Micah
wants Apostle to kill him, a request Apostle is more than happy to
fulfill. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Donya
resides in Indiana, with her husband and a small zoo of cats and dogs. In fact,
her writing buddy, Lucky, might become more famous than she is, based on the
feedback the ever-present feline receives on her </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.197956336972486.30560.100002743629226&type=1&l=d9635bdc24" target="_new" title="Lucky's Facebook Page"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> page.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">As a little
girl, Donya always had a book in her hand. As she got older, the books became
pens and notebooks, which she filled with stories and poetry. For as long as
she remembers, she has been writing and dreaming up stories. Seems writing was
her destiny.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Donya loves
music and often finds inspiration for her stories in the wide range of music
she listens to. Nothing like a little Korn to propel the angst in a scene, or
Enya to evoke softer and more romantic storylines.</span><span style="background-color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Seventeen-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s disappearance, her mother’s erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her.<br /><br />Raine is drawn to Torin’s dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Half the time, she’s not sure whether to fall into his arms or run.<br /><br />Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about Torin. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only is she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"> The normal part of Lorelei MacAlister’s life didn’t just
slip away quietly the day Jared Kovach came to town. Nope. The normal part of
her life shattered. It exploded. It burst into a gazillion shards of fleeting
light.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><br />
It went out with a bang.<br />
<br />
Goodbye normal.<br />
<br />
Hello dark and eerie.<br />
<br />
While her best friend, Brooklyn, is focusing all of her energy on helping
Lorelei hone her abilities, Lorelei is dealing with the reality that Satan’s
second in command has taken up residence inside her body. Oh, and the fact that
she has a crush on the Angel of Death. But what a beautiful death it is. If
those weren’t bad enough, something sinister has come to town and it wants
nothing more than to hear Lorelei’s dying breath as it strangles it out of her.
Thank goodness the gang has a supernatural champion. But what happens when the
only being who can save them switches sides midstream? How can a group of
misfits capture one of the most powerful beings ever created? And will they
find out how to bring Jared back to them before it’s too late?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">My best friend, Brooklyn, draped her upper body across her<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Othello.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">She buried her face in a tangle of arms and long black hair
for<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">effect. It was quite moving. And while I appreciated her
freedom<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">to express her misgivings about the most boring class since<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">multi-celled organisms first crawled onto dry land, I
wondered<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">about her timing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">“Miss Prather,” our Government teacher, Mr. Gonzales, said,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">his voice like a sharp crack in the silence of study time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Brooklyn jerked upright in surprise. She glanced around as<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">our classmates snickered, either politely into their hands
or more<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">rudely outright.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">“Is there something you’d like to share with the class?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">She turned toward Mr. Gonzales and asked, “Did I say that<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">out loud?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">The class erupted in laughter as Mr. G’s mouth formed a long<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">narrow line across his face. As though a miracle from
heaven,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">the bell rang and Brooklyn couldn’t scramble out of her seat
fast<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">enough. She practically sprinted from the room. I followed
at a<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">slower pace, smiling meekly as I walked past Mr. G’s desk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Brooklyn stood waiting for me in the hall, her face still
frozen<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">in surprise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">“That was funny,” I said, tugging her alongside me. She fell<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">in line as we wound through the crush of students, fighting
our<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">way to PE. I wasn’t sure why. I didn’t particularly enjoy
having<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">my many faults and numerous shortcomings put on display for<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">all to see, so why I would fight to get there was beyond me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">“No, really.” She tucked an arm through mine. “I didn’t mean<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">to say that out loud.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">I couldn’t help but smile despite the weight on my chest, a<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">weight that seemed to be endless. “Which is why that was
funny.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">I did that a lot lately. Smiled. It was easier than
explaining<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">why I wasn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">“You don’t get it,” she said. “This is exactly what I’ve
been<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">talking about. Everything is weird ever since . . . you
know.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">I did know. Ever since Jared Kovach came to town. Ever<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">since he’d saved my life after a huge green delivery truck<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">slammed into me. Ever since we’d found out he was the Angel<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">of Death and he had been sent not to save my life but to
take it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">To tweak the timing. To take me sooner than nature— or a
huge<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">green delivery truck— had intended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">And ever since I found out I’d been possessed by a demon<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">when I was six years old.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Still, that wasn’t the worst part of that day all those
years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">The worst part was the fact that my parents were gone.
Vanished<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">in a whirlwind when some guy— we still had no idea who—<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">opened the gates of hell. And I’d led them straight to it.
The fact<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">that a demon—Malak-Tuke, to be exact, Lucifer’s second in command—<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">escaped from his fiery pit and decided to crash at my<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">place was just the icing on the cake. But I didn’t know any
of<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">this until two months ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">I’d been living with my grandparents since the
disappearance,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">but my semi- normal existence changed forever when I was<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">knocked into the street by a skateboarder and hit by that truck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">That near- death experience taught me a valuable lesson:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Never get hit by a huge green delivery truck if I can help
it. But<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">if I hadn’t, if my life hadn’t almost ended that day, then
Jared<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Kovach would not have been sent. And oddly enough, Jared
Kovach<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">was definitely worth the risk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">The events that followed were both terrifying and life
changing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">I learned that there really was a heaven and a hell. That<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">there really were angels and demons. That I was a prophet,
the<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">last prophet in a long line of incredible women, descended
from<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">a powerful woman named Arabeth. And I’d learned that I had a<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">demon inside me, that I’d had him inside me for years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Even Jared had never seen anything like it. Most people
possessed<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">by evil spirits were lucky to survive. People possessed by<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">demons— a rarity, from what I’d been told— never survived
more<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">than a month. Ever. And yet here I stood. As possessed as a
girl<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">with a demon inside her could be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><br style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14.40000057220459px; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, the Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive—this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large; line-height: 22.80000114440918px;">My review: 4 stars!!!! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.796875px;">What was I thinking? I finished this book in 1 day. Now I have to wait forever for the next one. But this one was the best so far. *Much more Adrian. And quite frankly I have been in love with him for years. I still don't like Sydney. Not that he belonged with Rose, but at least we got to read lots of Adrian this go around. He's changed a lot and has grown up. I miss the more wittier version of him. This book is more fast past then the others and as usual there's a few twist and turns. I still love the Vampire Academy world and Richelle Mead is still one of my favorite authors. If you love Adrian you WILL LOVE this book!!! </span><br />

During a prison break that devolved into one of the bloodiest massacres in recent history, he escapes. But the aftermath of his unspeakable torture preys on his damaged mind, while the wolf inside him roars for vengeance and carnage. In the days leading up to the full moon, can MacRieve rein in his beast, even when he encounters his mate—a vexingly impossible female unlike anything he’d ever dreamed for himself?</span></b></span><br />

For the seven years after Operation Slam Dunk went south, Mike Brown got drunk
on each anniversary. The eighth year was no different--until he was drugged by
a woman and woke up to her questions about what had happened eight years ago in
Afghanistan. CIA attorney Eva Salinas has her own theory behind what happened
to Mike's team--which included her husband--in Afghanistan eight years ago, and
she's determined to prove foul play. Though she doesn't trust him, Mike is the
only person she can turn to for help. Under an assumed name, Eva convinces Mike

<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The only thing Cindy had in mind when she
started writing her first book was finishing it. The issue of actually selling
it came much later. Only after she made that life-altering first sale did she
realize that one book would never be enough. Now, over 20 books and numerous
awards later, Cindy laughingly admits that she can barely remember life
before...well, was there life before writing?<br />
<br />
Actually, yes there was, and still is. A professional career woman, Cindy is a
trainer for the Iowa Department of Human Services, a position she states is
both challenging and rewarding. "Human Services is a front-line, real-life
event. Everything about the job is immediate, from serving families in crisis,
to assisting staff with difficult situations, to meeting tension-fraught
deadlines." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Cindy's writing has netted her spots on
bestseller lists, numerous RT nominations and awards, the Colorado Romance
Writers Award of Excellence, a National Reader's Choice Award and two RITA
nominations.<br />
<br />
Between writing and working full time you wouldn't think Cindy would have much
time for anything else. And while she does find her work and her writing
rewarding, there does have to be more. Cindy has more. Much more. She is
happily married to the perfect man. Tom's a cowboy, ladies! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Both Tom and Cindy enjoy gardening and
have recently expanded their annual beds into a perennial garden. Cindy says
she can hardly wait for spring and the promise of all that reawakening and the
colorful blooms.<br />
<br />
In addition to the horses, the Gerards have two dogs, Ellie and Boomer, who
pretty much get anything they want. Tom and Cindy have one son, Kyle, who,
after years of keeping them in suspense, found Eileen, the perfect woman.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Prime-Werewolf Ember Stilwell, life has been far from normal. Decades ago, a
vengeful Witch cursed her Pack, leaving the women of her line incapable of
feeling love. When an organized group of immortal killers begin to stalk and
capture wolves from her pack, she sets out on a path fraught with danger. Just
when it seems the world as she knows it will be changed forever, she meets
Collin, an Alpha Werewolf with a body built for sin. As her heart begins to
heal, she comes to find that the demons of her past are not nearly as dangerous
as the nightmares she will be forced to face in her future. Can finding her
true love conquer all? Or will the ability to feel for the first time be
overshadowed by losing everything else she holds dear?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

"Feed from me," he urged.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<i><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><br />
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">I shook my head against him and groaned. I didn't
want to hurt him. I had never done this before, so I had no clue how much
control I would have over my vampire self. What if I lost it and accidentally
drained him?<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">"I want to do this for you. Let me be the
one to ease your pain," he said, pulling my face closer. My lips pressed
up against him and I could feel a thumping pulse flutter underneath his skin.
My tongue flicked out, tasting the salt and sweetness of him. It made me want
to bite down hard; to take every bit of him into me that I possibly could.
Somehow, I just knew that he would be the perfect filler of my needs. My
ambrosia.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in; text-indent: 0in;">
<i><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><br />
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">I guess one little sip couldn't hurt, said a
voice inside my head. The voice sounded strangely like my own. My fangs began
to pulse and ache, and before I could stop myself, they sank deep into Collin’s
neck. He grabbed hold of the back of my head with a groan. I wrapped my leg
around his waist and pressed myself up against his hard length, pinning him
under me. It fulfilled my sexual hunger for him and the need to keep him still
while I drank.<span class="apple-converted-space"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><br />
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">With his free hand, he pushed my ass down
against him. Heat exploded from between my legs and built up with every one of
his delicious thrusts. "My God, that feels so good," Collin said,
still holding my mouth to his open wound. "Suck harder."<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<b><i>About the Author:<br />

about myself. I could go on and on about major accomplishments...or...I can
simply say...I am a wife and mother. It's as easy as that. Now...I know what
you’re thinking "This person sounds boring"...am I right? Well this
is where things get a bit more interesting. I also like to create worlds, and
in those worlds, I morph into the ultimate Puppet Master. I meticulously pull
the strings on dozens of fantasized characters. I make them dance for me...love
for me...and when I am in a particularly feisty mood, I even make one
or two of them kill for me. Then, after play time is
over...I emerge from my land of make believe just in time...to
do the dishes.<span style="color: white; font-family: "Folks Light","serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Thanks Pimpin' Reads for having me today! With the release of REBECCA’S
LOST JOURNALS starting 1-28 I thought I would talk about IF I WERE YOU. The
journals tell a sexy story themselves but have tons of clues that link together
IF I WERE YOU with BEING ME. So here is a bit about how IF I WERE YOU begins. I
hope you enjoy and don’t forget to enter to win a gift card and more!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">It all began when my neighbor thrust a key to a storage unit at
me. She’d bought it to make extra money after watching some storage auction
show. Now she was on her way to the airport to elope with a man she barely
knew, and she needed me to clear out the unit before the lease expires.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Soon, I was standing inside a small room that held the intimate
details of another woman’s life, feeling uncomfortable, as if I was invading
her privacy. Driven to find out by some unnamed force, I began to dig, to
discover this woman’s life, and yes, read her journals—-dark, erotic journals
that I had no business reading. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. I read on
obsessively, living out fantasies through her words that I’d never dare
experience on my own. I read onward until the last terrifying dark entry left
me certain that something had happened to this woman. I had to find her and be
sure she was okay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">The dark, passion it becomes…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Now, I am working at a prestigious gallery she’d worked
at, where I have always dreamed of being, and I’ve been delivered to the
doorstep of…him. He is rich and famous, and dark in ways I shouldn’t find
intriguing, but I do. I don’t understand why his dark side appeals to
me, but the attraction between us is rich with velvety promises of
satisfaction. He is damaged beneath his confident good looks and need for
control, and in some way, I feel he needs me. I need him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">All I know for certain is that he knows me like I don’t even know
me, and he says I know him. Still, I keep asking myself —
do I know him? Did he know her, the journal writer, and
where is she? And why doesn’t it seem to matter anymore? There is just him and
me, and the burn for more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Sunday, March 7th, 2012<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Dangerous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">For months I’ve had dreams and nightmares about how perfectly he
personifies the word. Sleep-laden, alternate realities where I can vividly
smell his musky male scent, feel his hard body against mine. Taste the sweet
and sensuous flavor of him-–like milk chocolate with its silky demand that I
indulge in one more bite. And another. So good I’d forgotten there’s a price
for overindulgence. And there is a price. There is always a price. I was
reminded of this life lesson on Saturday night. And I know now, no matter what
he says, no matter what he does, I cannot–will not–see him again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">It started out as any other erotic adventure with him.
Unpredictable. Exciting. I barely remember where it all went wrong. How it took
such a dark turn.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">He’d ordered me to undress and sit on the mattress, against the
headboard, my legs spread wide for his viewing. Naked before him, open to him,
I was vulnerable and quivering with need. Never in my life had I taken orders
from a man; most certainly I had never thought I would quiver with anything.
But I did for him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">If Saturday night proved anything, it was that once I was with
him, under his spell, he could demand anything of me, and I’d comply. He could
push me to the edge, to unbelievable places I’d never thought I would go.
Exactly why I can’t see him again. He makes me feel possessed, and what is so
disconcerting about this feeling is that I like it. I can hardly wrap my mind
around allowing such a thing, though I burn for it. But when I saw him standing
at the end of the bed Saturday night, all broad and thick with sinewy muscle,
his cock jutting forward, there was nothing but that need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">He was magnificent. Really, truly the most gorgeous man I’ve ever
known. Instant lust exploded inside me. I wanted to feel him close to me, to
feel him touch me. To touch him. But I know now not to touch him without his
permission. And I know not to beg him to let me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">I’ve learned my lesson from past encounters. He enjoys the
vulnerability of a plea far too much. Enjoys withholding his pleasures, until I
am nearly quaking with the burn of my body. Until I am liquid heat and tears.
He likes that power over me. He likes full control. I should hate him.
Sometimes, I think I love him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">It was the blindfold that should have warned me I was headed
toward a place of no return. Thinking back, I believe it did. He tossed it on
the bed, a dare, and instantly a shiver chased a path up and down my spine. The
idea of not being able to see what was happening to me should have aroused
me-–it did arouse me. But for reasons I didn’t understand at the time, it also
frightened me. I was scared and I hesitated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">This did not please him. He told me so, in that deep, rich,
baritone voice that makes me quiver uncontrollably. The need to please him had
been so compelling. I put on the blindfold. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">I was rewarded by the shift of the mattress. He was coming to me.
Soon, I knew I would come, too. His hands slid possessively up my calves, over
my thighs. And damn him, stopped just before my place of need.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"> What came next was a shadowy whirlwind of sensation. He
pulled me onto my back, flat against the mattress. I knew satisfaction was
seconds away. Soon he would enter me. Soon I would have what I needed. But to
my distress, he moved away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">It was then that I was sure I’d heard the click of a lock. It
jolted me to a sitting position, and I called out his name, fearful he was
leaving. Certain that I’d done something wrong. Then relieved when his hand
flattened on my stomach. I’d imagined the sound of the lock. I must have. But I
couldn’t shake the subtle shift in the air then, the raw lust and menace
consuming the room that didn’t feel like him. It was a thought easily forgotten
when he settled heavy between my thighs, his strong hands lifting my arms over
my head, his breath warm on my neck–his body heavy, perfect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Somehow, a silk tie wrapped around my wrists and my arms were
tied to the bed frame. It never occurred to me that he could not have done this
on his own. That he was on top of me, unable to manipulate my arms. But then,
he was manipulating my body, my mind, and I was his willing victim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">He lifted his body from mine, and I whimpered, unable to reach
for him. Again silence. And the whisk of fabric. More strange sounds. Long
seconds ticked by, and I remember the chill that snaked across my skin. The
feeling of dread that had balled in my stomach.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"> And then, the
moment I know I will die remembering. The moment when the steel of a blade
touched my lips. The moment that he promised there was pleasure in pain. The
moment when the blade traveled along my skin with the proof he would be true to
his words. And I knew then that I had been wrong. He was not dangerous. Nor was
he chocolate. He was lethal, a drug, and I feared…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

longs for a man who will do more than offer on her hand in marriage. She

widow in England, but like her dreams of finding true passion, her reputation

So when an attacker threatens her life, she finds safety in the most unseemly

<span class="color15">His fortune stolen, young Matthew Joseph Milton is done
playing the respectable gentleman. In the slums of New York, only
ruffians thrive. But from the moment he arrives in London and encounters
the volumptious Lady Bernadette, he can't help but wonder about the finer

to bed her, but to prove his worth...</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: 'Book Antiqua', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: white;">Delilah Marvelle spent her youth studying various languages,
reading voraciously and playing the pianoforte. She confesses that here ends
the extent of her gentle breeding. She was a naughty child who was forever
torturing her parents with countless adventures that they did not deem
respectable. Confined to her room on many occasions due to these misadventures,
she discovered the quill and its amazing power. Soon, to the dismay of her
parents, she rather enjoyed being confined to her room and finished writing her
first historical romance (which was a heart-stopping 800 pages long…) at the
age of fourteen. She is a two time Golden Heart finalist and the winner of The
Reviewer's Choice Award for Best Sensual HIstorical Romance of the Year.
You can visit her at her website at www.DelilahMarvelle.com or her blog, which
explores the naughtier side of history, at www.DelilahMarvelle.blogspot.com.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
