Books Worth you Bucks-Sacrificial Hearts by Skhye Moncrief

Happy Friday!!!!
This weeks offering is a great book by Skhye Moncrief. Sacrificial Hearts is her first book in her Time Guardians series and a great, quick read. 


Alone, Twila Deeds tries to find her lost brother and stumbles upon a cult she believes is preparing to sacrifice her in a Valentines-Day sex ritual. She learns her brother has joined the cult and claims to be saving her by bringing her into the fold. She can't trust her brat brother, a selfish teen who never did anything for anyone. He must be dealt with. And she intends to dole out the punishment as revenge for his latest betrayal. Nor dare she trust the cult's gorgeous member who arrives to escort her to the cult's Scottish castle on his motorcycle. She's terrified of motorcycles. And the man forces her to climb aboard at gunpoint. After the terrifying motorcycle ride, she has no intention of falling victim to the sacrificial blade before her baby brother is served his just dessert.

But Illusion manifests as free will. (~1st Point of Time Travel)

Gerard Abercrombie can't seem to convince Twila that his time-travel brotherhood has only her welfare in mind before his patience wears thin. Time-travel Code will save him because only the fairies know what the future holds as the Gods send two SACRIFICIAL HEARTS racing toward their destiny. 

Book 1: SACRIFICIAL HEARTS (novella)--A Time-Guardian Valentines tale

Books Worth Your Bucks- Darkness Awakened by Katie Reus

Happy Friday!
Welcome back for another offering of books we think are worth your buck. 
My choice this week is a wonderful story and the first book in the Darkness Series by Katie Reus.

Years ago he ended things between them to protect her…

As leader of one of the fiercest werewolf packs in the south, Finn Stavros is in full battle mode 24/7. He has no choice—he’s one of the few beings strong enough to fight the Akkadian demons, whose mysterious escape from hell threatens the entire world. With the battle turning bloodier by the second, Finn is ready for anything…until his vampire long lost love shows up on his doorstep in desperate need of his help, sending his heart into a tailspin. He agrees to help her, unaware that she carries a shocking secret that will turn his life upside down.

This time, he’s not letting her go…

Vampire Lyra Marius curses the day she met Finn. The ruthless werewolf promised to love her forever, but he rejected her instead—before she could share her life altering news. Pregnant, kicked out of her coven, and cast aside by the love of her life, Lyra struggled to raise their rare shifter-vampire daughter Vega alone among humans. When the 16-year-old is kidnapped and used to fulfill a frightening prophecy, Lyra swallows her pride and turns to Finn for help. But how long can she fight her feelings for him and keep him from guessing the truth about who Vega really is? As they race against the clock to save their daughter, they must defeat the lethal threat imposed by demons infiltrating the human world and a hell gate that could not only reveal their existence to mankind, but destroy the world in the process.


I hope you enjoy all of our offerings.

Books Worth Your Bucks-Immortal Coil by C.I.Black




Welcome back to another edition of Books Worth Your Bucks. This weeks offering is Immortal Coil, Book 1 in the Dragon Spirit Series. This is a rich world of strong characters and a plot that will pull you into her world. It was so good in fact that I went ahead and bought her second book Shattered Spirits.


Two souls. One Body. Sharing is not an option…

Terrible news has turned Anaea Salis’s life upside down. There’s nothing she can do to make it right and the stranger who stops to talk to her can’t help. But when that stranger, Hunter, an ancient dragon spirit, is viciously attacked and forced to transfer his spirit into her body, Anaea’s life takes a new terrifying twist.

Hunter should have known by now not to get involved with human affairs, but there was something about the woman that drew him to her and he just couldn’t help himself. Trapped in her body all he wants is to get out, except whoever is trying to kill him is now after her.

Their only hope of survival… plunge into the deadly world of dragons.

Books Worth Your Bucks-Kiss of a Dragon



This week's offering is the first book in the Fallen Immortals series by Alisa Woods.

Now I really hate cliffhanger endings, but the story Ms Woods weaves makes you forgive the transgression. It also helps that they are so reasonable priced at .99 on Amazon.
The story of Lucian and Arabella is told in three books, and the plot is strong enough to withstand the episodic handling, though I do wish she put it into one large book. But that is just me I think. 
Either way, this is well worth you buck to grab. Her characters come to life with surprising depth, and her masterful the layering brings them to life. 


LUCIAN 
I am a Dragon Prince of the House of Smoke… and I am dying. 
 
 
Five hundred years is truly enough for a man like me. A monster. Yet a ten-thousand-year treaty will die with me, if I don’t spawn a dragonling to take my place. My two brothers are no use in this task. It falls to me, the eldest by a hair’s breadth, and yet, I cannot face the horror of another sealing. Another death. Another woman’s blood on my hands.  
 
ARABELLA  
I was saved from death in a dark Seattle alley by an impossibly beautiful man who swooped in on golden wings. Now he’s taken me to his lair, opened my eyes to a world of immortals I didn’t know existed, and given me an impossible task—find him a mate. Then, and only then, will he set me free.  
 
He needs her more than he wants; she wants him more than she should; and the fate of both the mortal and immortal worlds depends on not just repairing their hearts, but finding a Love that’s True…  


Don't forget to check the other wonderful offerings from Siobhan Muir and Nara Malone.

Books Worth Your Bucks-My Highlander Cover Model by Karyn Gerrard


This weeks offering is a delightful read from Karyn Gerrard. She puts a fresh face on the Highlander Romance, adding time travel, more than a bite of humor and a delightful twist I never saw coming. 
Her zipper scene is worth a read or two and had me laughing out loud. She truly breathes fresh air to this particular theme. 

Skye Bancroft, assistant art director at a small New York publisher, is used to dealing with the occasional spoiled and egocentric model. After all, it’s part of her job description. But during a photoshoot, she didn’t count on one to become so delusional as to think himself a Highlander from 1814 Scotland. 

Cailin Thorburn is every woman’s dream: A warrior who is fierce, passionate, and protective. Rendered unconscious during battle, he awakens in another place, time, and in another man’s body. Could this all be a dream? Convincing the bonnie lass, Skye, that he is Cailin is a daunting task. 

Regardless of his strange time travel story and sexy Scottish burr, believing this extraordinary man is from another era becomes hard to deny. The attraction between them sizzles and Skye is left to wonder: Is Cailin truly as he claims? 


This is a quick read coming in at 92 pages and is only .99 right now through Amazon. Just click on the link below.

Books Worth You Bucks- Snow Leopard's Tale by Nara Malone



Welcome to the first Friday of Books Worth Your Bucks. This is an ongoing blog with fellow authors who wish to introduce Indy or small pub authors to other readers. Each Friday we will spotlight an authors book, give buy links along with the links to the other authors participating who have a book for you to look at as well.

I belong to a virtual writing colony known as OpenSim. Nara Malone, Siobhan Muir and I have always wanted to bring more attention to the Indie authors. With so many books out there now it's hard to figure out what is a good, well written book...or not. With this in mind, we the Nookettes of the Virtual writing colony of Nara's Nook have come up with this blog. My first offering is none other than Nara's Nook herself, Nara Malone.

Meet Nara Malone Author of the Pantherian Tales

Whether it's a shapeshifter romance exploring the primal power of the wild feminine, or BDSM romance where love digs into a character's shadows, Nara believes romance should open the door and push lovers into a new dimension: sexually, emotionally, and sometimes physically.

Nara is an award winning novelist and poet. As a freelance journalist and writer her feature profiles on women entrepreneurs and her romantic short stories have been published in newspapers, magazines, and digital publications.

Nara lives on a small farm in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains. When she's not writing, she loves to run, hike, bike, and kayak. Every story she tells incorporates her love of animals, nature, and adventure.

Snow Leopard's Tale is the second in the Pantherian Tales. Her first book, Tigers Tale won the Stroke of Midnight award for best paranormal romance. Her books can be read as a stand alone or in order.


Allie is determined to build an ordinary life. To survive she needs to be the sort of woman on one notices. She has a generic job, lives in a generic apartment, and thinks maybe one day she'll find an ordinary Joe who wants an average Jane sort of woman. 

Marcus is anything but an ordinary Joe. Even if humans can't perceive that he's a shifter and millennial being, he's the sort of man women notice. A night of passion laced with Marcus's sex magick is a night any female, human or Pantherian, won't forget.

But Allie does forget. She repeatedly fails to recognize him even after an intense sexual encounter. Marcus discovers the source of her problem-face blindness, a genetic disorder with no cure. So he decides to use erotic rituals to teach her to see with more than her eyes. What he doesn't count on is Allie seeing past the man-and recognizing the beast within.

I quite frankly couldn't put this book down! She paints scenes rich with color, scents and emotions. Engaging all your senses. Nara has taken a little known disorder and brought it to light in such an engaging way, you want to google more on the subject of face blindness and wonder how many you may have met which this disorder.

The love story between Marcus and Allie is deep, satisfying and erotic as hell! Marcus is determined to help animals who have the misfortune to end up as experimental lab subjects, medically altered to be more than animal. Inseminated with fertilized eggs and forced to give birth to a new thinking and reasoning breed of animal. Marcus, in search to cure the wasting disease of all Pantherian females, believes the means of saving them from extinction lies in these animals. 
Allie, just wants to be left alone, routine is the constant she lives by. Blending in her goal. Running from a life raised on the wrong side of the law, all she wants is to be a regular law abiding citizen. 

Allie has a secret that not even she is aware of, and when it bursts forth it will change her forever.
