Full Moon Reads - Flower Moon

5/22/2016

This month's Full Moon Read is Barbarian Prince from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Michelle M. Pillow.

Michelle is a tremendously witty person on social media and I've had her books on my TBR list for a long time. When I saw the expanded anniversary edition of  Barbarian Prince on sale for $0.99 I decided it was the right time to share her work with The Black List and to read it myself! Here's the official blurb:

Prince Ualan is prepared to follow dragon-shifter tradition and marry the woman revealed to him during the Breeding Festival. When the stubborn, yet achingly sexy, Morrigan refuses to accept their shared fate and his supreme authority over her, it is all he can do to keep from acting like the barbarian she accuses him of being.

Going undercover at a mass wedding as a bartered bride, Morrigan Blake has every intention of getting off the barbaric planet just as soon as it's over. Or, more correctly, just as soon as she captures footage of the mysterious princes rumored to be in attendance.

But after a euphoric night, Morrigan discovers her ride left without her, and Ualan of Draig is claiming she's his wife. It's not exactly the story this reporter had in mind. And to make matters worse, the all-to-seductive alpha refuses to take no for an answer.


One chapter into this fantastic Sci Fi, dragon shifter tale and I knew I was hooked and would be up all night.

The Dragon Lords world building is detailed and interesting, but it doesn't get in the way of the storyline. We get just enough details for local flavor, and a touch of cultural lore, and then it's right into the action.

The main character, Morrigan, is strong and savvy, yet she manages to get herself into one mortifying situation after another, because of her foolish pride and assumptions - reminding me more than a little bit of Shakespeare's Kate in Taming of the Shrew. Is there a scene where she throws up? Yes. Is there a spit take? Yes. Does someone drink too much of something, not even knowing what it is? Yes, yes, she does. Does she deny the hot as blazes man she is supposed to marry, even as her whole body craves him like he was a box of specialty chocolate? Yep. More than once. And as a reader I challenge you not to follow along yelling, "No, Morrigan, oh, god, no," but secretly clap your hands together with glee, dying to see what will happen next.

Prince Ualan is tall dark and handsome, really, really, really handsome. His wicked desire for Morrigan is palpable from the very first scene. Unlike many of the alpha male heroes we meet in romance novels, Ualan seems like a really nice guy, other than that hot temper.

SO... if you are in the mood to alternately laugh, drool, and burn with lust for a towering five hundred page, tension-filled journey into becoming the bride of an alien dragon... This. Is. Your. Book. (And it's a series, so guess what else I'll be reading this week?)

Winter Heat & more

Today is an exciting day!

Summer before last, while I was waiting for Curse of the Alpha to be edited, I wrote a book for Bella Andre's Game for Love sports romance Kindle World**.

Winter Heat is the story of Becca McCall, woman who has postponed pursuing an art career in order to help her twin brother become a world-ranked figure skater. When Becca meets Samir Andrews, a championship snowboarder who is stealing her brother's media thunder with his stormy good looks and tragic backstory, sparks fly! Between Becca's fierce loyalty to her brother and Samir jealously guarding a terrible secret, only one wild night and the most inconvenient and inescapable attraction can pull them together to solve both their problems. 

Winter Heat is a standalone romance!

And of course because I wrote it, of course there is a DECIDEDLY PARANORMAL TWIST to the story!
Spoiler alert: This book features a shifter - and not a kind of shifter I've ever written about before or since!

When Bella's assistant reached out to invite me to relaunch the book as part of her Kindle Worlds push I was delighted! So today, I'm reintroducing you to the book, with a new cover! I hope that if you haven't already, you'll check out Winter Heat here:


http://www.amazon.com/Game-Love-Winter-Kindle-Novella-ebook/dp/B00N178SS0?tag=13thsto09-20

​
And check out all of the books in the launch, as featured here on USA Today's Happily Ever After page:

http://happyeverafter.usatoday.com/2016/05/04/20-new-stories-arrive-in-2-kindle-worlds-of-bella-andre-aka-lucy-kevin/

​
*****Unfortunately, Kindle Worlds books are available only on Amazon US. This has to do with the already understandably complicated copyright legalities of allowing one author to write in another author's world. For my non-US, and non-Amazon fans, I LOVE YOU GUYS. Please know that this book is 100% standalone and is NOT part of my Tarker's Hollow world.
ALSO, to cheer you up, below please find the links to a free and VERY STEAMY shorty from my author buddy, Jessie Donovan!!!!***

Books from Friends!

You guys know already that I'm a fan and friend of the Mother of Dragons (or at least, the Mother of Dragon Shifter Romances), Jessie Donovan! But did you know she wrote about cougars?

This VERY STEAMY short tale can be read in a sitting and is the perfect feel-good pick-me-up for a long day! 

Kian Murray is a cougar-shifter clan leader with a problem--he has a limp. Despite earning the injury protecting a group of cubs, he feels helpless. His clan and mate deserves someone hearty and whole, and he's nothing more than a liability. The best thing he can do is give up his clan and his mate and find a way to start over.

Trinity Perez-Murray refuses to watch her mate give up his clan because of a small limp. After four months of trying and failing to bring him back from the edge, she only has one card left to play--she's going to seduce her mate. But just as her charms start to pay off, she and Kian are attacked by a group of unusual shifters.

Now it's up to Kian to help fight off the intruders. But in the heat of the moment, will his alpha instincts return and release the warrior inside?
