The Copper Horse: Love Book #3  Review and Exclusive Excerpt Blurb: Volume 3 in the ponyplay erotic romance trilogy: The Copper Horse London  1907, twenty years into the zombie plague Just as Reuben finally settles into the role of Copper, his master’s proud stallion, his life gets turned upside down by a revolution that has been long brewing in London. But the men who come for Erik at his home bring much more than havoc. They uncover lies that Erik has fed Reuben, and the truth creates a rift between them that might be impossible to cross.   Even if Reuben still wanted to be Erik’s pony, is it possible for them to be together if his master loses all power and property?

The Painted Crown by Megan Derr Review

The Painted Crown by Megan Derr Blurb: Prince Istari has spent his life reviled: his parents wish he had never been born, the royal court of Belemere avoids him for fear of angering the king, and everyone else is kept away by his notorious reputation as a deadly sharpshooter. Now a hostage of peace in Tallideth, he is subjected to their hatred as well—even that of Regent Vellem, who once considered him a comrade in arms. Unexpected solace comes in the form of Lord Teverem, a sad, quiet lord who assumed the title when his brother was killed in the explosion for which Istari's father is to blame. He is kind and sweet and a sorely needed bright spot in Istari's life—until Istari meets his family and learns of a dangerous family secret with unexpected ties to Istari's past, a secret that could drag Tallideth and Belemere right back into war... My Review: The Painted Crown is book #2 in the Unbreakable Soldiers series. I would not call this a standa

I want to share a big thank you to my host for featuring the cover reveal today for my latest Dreamspinner Press release, On Fire , made by Garrett Leigh. Without further ado...

Release Day and Review: Of Love and Corn Dogs by Parker Williams

Image
Happy release day, Parker! Of Love and Corndogs 9/23/2016 BLURB: With more money than he could spend in ten lifetimes, Darwin Kincade still couldn't keep death from stealing his lover. A little older and a whole lot wiser, flirting with his twice-a-week waiter is the perfect no-risk substitute for a real relationship. Until the night his routine is upended by the restaurant's newest employee. Ricky Donnelly loves people. While being a server isn’t his dream, he’s good at it. When a grumpy man is seated in his station, Ricky sees there’s more to him than he lets on, and when the man relaxes, he’s actually sweet. As the two men bond over a discussion about corn dogs—something Darwin’s never heard of—he realizes how much he’s missed out on in his life. He vows to open himself to new experiences—including, perhaps, a chance at finding love again. Not wanting anything to muddy their blooming relationship, Darwin hides part of himself from Ricky. He likes the lo

Faded Love MA Church Rerelease!

FADED LOVE Re-Release by MA Church MA Church remains one of my favorite authors for a reason, kids! Angst, true love, passion--what's not to love? Blurb: People often say that the true perfection of the human form is in its imperfections.  Obviously those people never lived a life of a model. Perfection is flawless. Desired. Demanded. Superstar model Ashley is living the dream. As one of the top models in the world, anything he desires is at his fingertips. Perfection on the surface hides human flaws, though. The one thing Ashley fears? Commitment. If it isn’t broke, why fix it? He and his lover, Will, have the perfect relationship. Or so Ashley thinks until Will starts pushing for more.  Then a moment in time shatters the illusion of his perfection, and Ashley finds the very basis of his existence torn. Bruised. Wrecked and destroyed. Scarred.  A near-fatal car accident leaves Ashley permanently disfigured, his career in a tailspin. Only his lover

World of the Beacon Hill Sorcerer Part Two Characters and Definitions: Vampire--The Sentient Undead Source Image Vampires, ghouls, lich, zombies, wraiths, revenants, and ghosts are all classified as "undead." Only vampires are called the Sentient Undead. In this world, only vampires have bodily autonomy separate from their creator--unlike those resurrected through magical means by mortal practitioners, vampires are considered a different species once the human in question has died and been reborn as a vampire. Vampires have their own culture, history, and traditions, though they tend to follow along cultural lines of the country and regions in which they reside or the ethnicity of the vampire pre-turning. Vampires, next to certain types of fae and a small handful other supernatural creatures, are the longest-lived species on the planet. Though not immortal, as they can be slain, vampires will continue to exist in a suspended state, their aging stopped f

The World of the Beacon Hill Sorcerer Part I The Necromancer's Dance & The Necromancer's Dilemma by SJ Himes **Warning: Contains spoilers for The Necromancer's Dance (book #1 of the Beacon Hill Sorcerer) Definitions and Characters Necromancer : a sorcerer-ranked magical practitioner with an affinity for death. Can heal mortal injuries, commune with the dead, summon and control spirits, and is the natural nemesis of the sentient undead--vampires. All death magic, natural and spiritual, is under the control of a necromancer and comes easiest out of all the different types of magic accessible to a sorcerer. Necromancers can steal and overcome other sorcerers' spells that utilize death magic if the original caster is not also a necromancer. Death magic affinity is extremely rare, and necromancers are often victims of religious prejudice due to fear and superstition. Necromancers have historically been priests, clerics, and battlemages.
