Prowled Darkness

Dante’s Circle Book 7

Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes? 

Eliana Sawyer’s life was rocked from its foundation twice in as many years. She risked her heart and had it shattered into a thousand pieces when Malik left her with no warning. While she’d normally raise her chin and ignore the pain, she can’t forget what he gave her before he disappeared from her life.

Malik Ward is a prince amongst the lion shifters and knows that one day he will have to take a mate. Only, his people can never mate with humans. Under the mistaken impression that Eliana was only human, he forced himself to leave before they’d crossed a line and he broke his vow to his people. Now that he knows the truth about Eliana, however, it will take more than groveling to win back the one woman fated to be his.

While Eliana and Malik embark on a new sensuous path that might lead to disaster, the realms aren’t ready to allow the final lightning-struck human to be enveloped into their fold. The couple will have to combat those plotting against them, as well as the broken promises and heated emotions they share.

Warning: Contains a Leo with a bite that’s worse than his roar, a woman with one last chance at the life she’s always dreamt of, a flame that could extinguish with the wrong sacrifice, and the final journey in the bestselling Dante’s Circle series.

Viviana, Enchantress of Books and I are super excited to feature Luke Daniels again during our 2nd annual Audio Book Lovin’ Series.  If you didn’t know this already.  Luke Daniels narrators one of my most favorite series.  It is a little gem call the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne.  But Luke narrates for many many other authors.  So let me first introduce you to the one and only Luke Daniels.  

Luke Daniels was born into a family of actors. Both his father and mother have been performing and teaching for almost five decades. It is because of their influence that, from a very young age, Luke and his two brothers often found themselves in rehearsal halls at repertory theatres all over the country; watching innumerable productions of Much Ado, Julius Caesar, and Midsummer’s.

Luke’s first theatrical role came at the age of 5 as Fleance in a production of Macbeth. He immediately loved the creativity and camaraderie of the theatre. (It also didn’t hurt that he was allowed to miss school for certain performances.)

Over the years Luke has performed at many repertory theatres across the country, including the Utah Shakespearean Festival, Connecticut Rep., and Hope Summer Rep. in Holland, Michigan. Luke has his Bachelor’s from Western Michigan University and his MFA in performance from the University of Connecticut.

Luke has worked professionally as a director, teacher, audiobook narrator, voice-over, commercial, and industrial actor.

But he maintains that the greatest role he has ever played is that of a Father to his kids.

He’s the hottest MMA fighter in the game, but one woman is ready to try out a few steamy moves of her own in an unforgettable new novel from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster…

With the life he’s led and the muscles he’s gained, Armie Jacobson isn’t afraid of anything. Except maybe Merissa Colter’s effect on him. It’s not just that she’s his best friend’s little sister. Fact is, she deserves better. Women pursue him for one night of pleasure, and that’s all he wants to offer. Until rescuing Merissa from a robbery leads to the most erotic encounter of his life.

Good girl meets bad boy. It’s a story that rarely ends well. But Merissa is taking matters into her own hands.

And as past demons and present-day danger collide, they’re both about to learn what’s truly worth fighting for

It is that time of year again when I get to tell you all about my love of audio books.  To start, thank you for stopping by the blog and checking out our second annual Audio Book Lovin’ series.  Last year was so much fun.  We got to talk to authors, narrators, and publishers all about the ins and outs of the Audio Book world.   We learned that some authors have no contact with the narrators and some author do everything from pick the narrator to helping with edits.

Last year made me realize just how much work goes into an audio book.  It is not as simple as just sit down and read aloud. Which is a good thing because no one wants to hear me read them a book (mark that off the list of possible jobs).

Which brings me back to why I love audio books.  I have found that my free time is getting less and less with each day.  Audio books give me a way to read/listen to my favorite authors and find a new author all while driving to and from work.  Which seems to be my only down time these days.    Plus it makes the commute so much better.

Audio books are a great way to introduce people an author, narrator or series that you love.   I know personally that there are any series that had I not picked them up on audio and listen to some amazing authors I am not sure I would have loved the books so much.

Last year I did a post on my Top 5 reasons I love audio books (check it out HERE).

I know that there are people out there that say they can’t or won’t listen to audiobooks.  They have all kinds of reasons. Everything from they are too expensive to the narrator doesn’t sound like I envisioned that character.  I say to them….. Just try one.  You never know.  You might actually just like them.   Ask people for recommendations. Go on to audible and listen to the samples.  Speaking of Audible.  Did you know that your 1st book is free when you sign up?  See it is a win win!!!

Alright, since you are here you either love audiobooks or you’re interested in audiobooks.  Tell me what you love about them and which narrators or author would you recommend to people who are on the audible fence.

Sunstone’s Fire

(Cursed in Stone, book 1)
A fatal kiss, forbidden love – cursed in stone.
Aspiring author Nate Wilson wants some space from his overbearing family and a job he doesn’t like. A week on the Oregon coast sounds like paradise and just what he needs to get the creative juices flowing. Unfortunately, his plans are derailed when a storm moves in and a ghostly figure flashes in his headlights, sending him skidding off the road and into a tree. Lucky for him, he ends up in front of a bed and breakfast, and the beautiful owner may do more to spur his creativity than any beach could.
Hesitant witch and inn owner, Haylee Clark is cursed. Well, not her exactly – at least not yet – but all of the women in her family have suffered the same fate. They fell in love, only to have that passion turn sour and their husbands die tragically, leaving them brokenhearted. So far, Haylee has done well to avoid that destiny, but when the captivating Nate Wilson crashes into her life, he awakens something within her that she never thought to feel.
When the pair stumbles upon a hidden room where Haylee’s grandmother used to conduct her rituals, they unknowingly unleash a dark entity hell-bent on destruction, and discover that a family heirloom is the source of the Clark family curse. Despite the spell, they can’t deny their attraction, and give in to the magic between them. But the closer Haylee and Nate get, the more the curse tries to tear them apart. If they don’t find a way to defeat the evil, they may lose more than their hearts.
