FREE BOOK OFFER! Red Dawn by Alicia Michaels

Alicia Michaels and Anchor Group Publishing present...

a FREE weekend read, this weekend only (Saturday, January 19 to Sunday, January 20)! 

Daughter of the Red Dawn is the first novel in the YA Fantasy series, The Lost Kingdom of Fallada. Get your free copy of this epic retelling of the story of Little Red Riding Hood at the links below!

 Description: These are dark times in the land of Fallada, and I fear that they will only continue to grow darker. Only the return of those we’ve lost will even the score.
It will begin with first line of the prophecy, which foretells of a red sun over the desert sky…
--Adrah, Queen of the Fae

On the outside, seventeen year-old Selena McKinley is like any other teenage girl. Yet Selena has always felt as if she doesn’t belong and is counting the days to graduation and her freedom from the small town that makes her feel so out of place, when the arrival of a stranger turns her world upside down. Selena will learn just how different she is and the truth of where she comes from.
A lost princess, they call her, the catalyst for a war involving a world that Selena was taken from as a child. An evil queen obsessed with her own beauty with a plan to enslave the human race.…the notion seems so silly, yet Selena knows in her heart that it is true. Then there is Titus, the shape shifter whose blue eyes and claims of destiny hold her heart captive. Can Selena find the strength to do what she must while following her heart?

Reviews:

“This was such a surprising and amazing read. Alicia Michaels takes the reader on an adventure he/she will never forget. Selena is actually a missing princess of Fallada, a world full of astounding characters dominated by Faeries. Not only that, but an evil Faerie wants her dead so what does this woman do? She takes a werewolf family hostage and sends their son, Titus, on a mission to kill Selena. If he fails, his family will die. Throw in a little Grimm brothers, a spunky best friend, and some unlikely characters and this story comes ALIVE! Michaels is so wonderfully descriptive! I felt like I was inside the book. I felt Selena's conflicts and Titus' conflict, took a journey of self-discovery with Selena, and experienced a romance that seems doomed to fail before it even starts. I won't give anymore away. Books like this are made to be discovered, to be savored, and to be felt long after the last page is turned.”

--R.K. Ryals, author of the Redemption Series

“A marvelous adventure, and very addictive. I was swept into the tale very fast, and Alicia's descriptive details about Fallada help me picture this wonderful world filled with remarkable creatures. I loved reading how a fearful Selena embraced her destiny and became the daughter of the red dawn. Even more was the steamy love between her and Titus. If you are looking for a fabulous fae read, this is it. I am anxiously awaiting the second addition to this wonderful story.”

--Karen Swart, author of Kasadya: Hellhound Awakened

Eye of the Beholder by Ruth Ann Nordin (Review)

First review of the New Year and we've got ourselves a Beta!

*Click cover for author's page*

A homely woman who fears she will never marry becomes a mail-order bride. The man she comes for rejects her but another offers her marriage. She accepts, not believing love will result from the union. Love, after all, is for beautiful women. Isn't it?

It is no grand confession when I inform you guys that I am a paranormal romance down to my heart. With that non-surprising confession done I can also say that sometimes they get a bit much in their epic-ness and dark. A girl sometimes needs a break. That was where I was at when I turned to my book stash on my sony e-reader I call Gia. I needed a fast lite read and ya know me, it's gotta be romance.




I picked Eye of the Beholder by Ruth Ann Nordin. I had picked up a load of her e-novellas on smashwords a while back hoping they would one day get a chance with me.



I am so use to the alpha/uber-alpha in books I read so Hero, Dave Larson, knocked me flat on my ass and took my breath away with his beta. Damn, I liked it! He was this funny, handsome and gentle guy who knew what he wanted, how to get it and got it without clubbing you over the head growling "mine." My heart fluttered as I whispered, "Holy shit that is hot."



I also like Mary Peters, the heroine, though her bemoaning inner dialogue of her unattractiveness got a bit much and ground my nerves. She was a good girl and we get to see not only a man but also a whole entire town fall in love with a girl.



Mary is kind to the extreme and I loved seeing her ugly or plain looks (depending on whom you asked) evolve to pretty to beautiful as they got to know her genuine inner beauty and through a man's love who has always seen it.



I have never read an arranged marriage romance but now I am not sure I can stop. I highly suggest you pick this book up you will love it. Who knew Betas could be so drool-worthy?

  Want to read this book?  First person to ask for a copy I will buy it for you from Smashwords because it's no longer free.

Contest Winner

I forgot, well not forgot but I have been busy with revision/editing HELL. I had/have to reconstruct chapter 7 of my WIP that I forgot to announce my Ice by Sarah Beth Durst winner: Comment #1 Wendy!
She was notified by twitter maybe 2 weeks ago. It was completely random. My niece Zoey (9mnths) did the honor of using her ball popper machine to pick out a comment number. Balls went flying everywhere and it didn't go as smoothly as planned but pink number 1 ball was picked up by my lovely Zoey. I thought it would be #2 purple ball cause its her fav and she usually goes for it first.
Congrats again Wendy! Contest 2 a success! Thanks!

I received my gift from the looovely WilowRaven (redhousebooks.blogspot.com)

I have been wanting this book but you know how it is...so many books you want and small book budget.  Eventhough I lack a lot of self control, there is no way I can buy them all and this book always seemed to fall through the cracks so. HUGGIES to Emily!

I also received another book on my wishlist but fell through the cracks list from Meryl (Mybitofearth.net)

Thank you sooo much ladies.  Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Tis the season,

Skin Game by Ava Gray

SKIN GAME

Berkley Sensation (November 3, 2009)

A beautiful fugitive—wanted dead or alive.

Kyra is a con woman and a particular kind of thief. She steals with a touch, but she only takes one thing: her target’s strongest skill. Which means she can be a fighter, an athlete, a musician, an artist—anything she wants… for a limited time. Heartbroken, she turns her gift toward avenging her father’s murder; with deadly patience, Kyra works her way into casino owner Gerard Serrano’s inner circle. After pulling off the ultimate con, she flees with his money and his pride.

A hit man who never misses the mark.

Reyes has nothing but his work. Pity for Kyra, he’s the best and mercy never sways him once he takes a job. He’s been hired to find out where Kyra hid the cash—and bring her back to face Serrano’s “justice.” Dead will do, if he can’t locate the loot. He’s never failed to complete a contract, but Kyra tempts him with her fierce heat and her outlaw heart. So Reyes has a hell of a choice: forsake his word or kill the woman he might love.
