The week of March
7-12 was a good one. It included a new release from a debut author, a couple
contemporary favorites, some paranormal favorites, and, in honor of the time
change this weekend, a couple time-traveler favorites too. You even ended up getting a couple
extra recommendations out of me during Thursday’s double-double-header features
(2 sets of First- and Last/Most Recent- in a series) after I forgot to post a
featured book on Wednesday.
So let’s get to
the round-up of this week’s daily featured books!
A NOT-SO-INNOCENT SEDUCTION by Janice Maynard
About the
book:
Caught
between desire and duty, he's found the one woman he can't have…
Responsibility
is all Liam knows. As the oldest Kavanagh son, he's overseen the family empire
since his father's disappearance. Duty means everything to him…until he meets
Zoe Carmichael.
She
breezes into his hotel, lighting up everything around her, stirring up
trouble—and tempting him beyond reason. He knows she's hiding something beneath
that free spirit—but he wants her anyway. He tells himself he can give in to
desire and fulfill his Kavanagh duties. But when her family secrets come to
light, will he sacrifice all he holds dear to save her?
This is the first
book in the Kavanaghs of Silver Glen
series, each book features on of the seven Kavanagh sons. Currently books 1-6
are available, with book 7 due to be released sometime during 2016.
WHERE THERE’S SMOKE THERE’S
DESIRE by Ginger Sutter
About the
book:
Welcome to Gate
City, Virginia, a small town with literal charms!
SAVE ME...
When the firehouse manned by winsome Weres, sexy Shifters, and delectable
Dragons requires a new engine for their truck, sultry Siren and local bar
proprietor Rena Karahalios, offers to organize a benefit to help raise the
money—and perhaps spread some harmless community-wide debauchery in the
process...
I WANT IT ALL, AND I WANT IT NOW...
It took some
doing, but Rena's schedule would provide the perfect balance for commingling
mortals and Supernaturals without overtly risking exposure to the mortals.
Then, days before the event, Rena finds herself in need of two extra bodies.
Luckily, the lure of alcohol and a well-played hustle allows her to draft her
two best friends, Leine O'Quinn and Ava Nassar, a Pooka and a Succubus
respectively, and the crisis was averted.
So, what's the
event? Speed dating! The epitome of a little less talk and a lot more action!
And when the room is filled with hot men and gorgeous women, the possibilities
are endlessly...steamy!
This is the debut
release from this author and earlier this week I posted an INTERVIEW with Ginger Sutter and a REVIEW of this story.

MARIGNY STREET by Annie Rose
Welch
Book 1 - Saving Angels Series
About this
book:
Do you believe in the power of dreams?
Way down south on Marigny Street in the heart of New Orleans,
the land of Catholic intercessions, purgatory, and supernatural superstitions,
young Evangeline Chenier dreams of a radiant boy who saves her from a storm.
She takes the dream seriously – in her family, dreams are sometimes more than
dreams. Sometimes they foretell the future. Sometimes they create it.
Years later, Eva is no longer the same wistful girl but a
hardened woman who no longer believes in dreams. Losing faith in her gift, she
becomes lost in a nightmare of emotion, mourning her son, separating from her
husband, and stewing in a dead-end job. And then fate brings her an unlikely
surprise: one of the most famous movie stars in the world, Gabriel Roberts.
Caught by something in his eyes, Eva agrees to show him the real
Big Easy on his last night in New Orleans—an evening that turns into four
dreamy days spent recapturing lost faith and discovering a love neither
expected. Realizing Gabriel is the boy from her childhood dream, Eva must leave
everything behind—her husband, her family, her history, and the beautiful city
she calls home—and gamble it all for the dream that has saved her on MARIGNY
STREET.
I fell
head-over-heels in love with the Saving
Angels series after just the first chapter of this book. I’ve been working my way through
reading all of them since I read it for the first time last fall. You can see my REVIEW of this book here.

I’m currently
reading this title. I love it, every page. It is tremendously touching and an
ever-emotional read…
BEYOND THE HIGHLAND MIST by
Karen Marie Moning
About the
book:
He would
sell his warrior soul to possess her. . . .
An
alluring laird...
He was
known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and
the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his
heart—until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day
Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely
too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the
sixteenth-century rogue. Coerced into a marriage with Hawk, Adrienne vowed to
keep him at arm's length—but his sweet seduction played havoc with her resolve.
A prisoner
in time...
She had a
perfect "no" on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk
swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed
to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him
from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the promptings
of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's
determination to keep her by his side. . . .
DARK SEDUCTION by Brenda
Joyce
What it’s
about:
Malcolm of Dunroch is a newly chosen
Master, a novice to his extraordinary—and dangerous—powers. But he has already
broken his vows—and a young woman's death is on his hands. Malcolm is
determined to fight his darkest desires, denying himself all pleasure…until
fate sends him another Innocent, the beautiful bookseller Claire Camden.
Since her
mother's murder, Claire has done everything possible to make a safe, secure
life for herself in a city where danger lurks on every street corner,
especially in the dark of night. But nothing can prepare her for the powerful
and sexual medieval warrior who sweeps her back into his time—a treacherous,
frightening world where the hunters and the hunted are one and the same. Claire
needs Malcolm to survive, yet she must somehow keep the dangerously seductive
Master at arm's length. For Malcolm's soul is at stake—and fulfilling his
desires could prove fatal….
