Sacrifice of Love Blog Tour!!

Sacrifice of Love Blog Tour



Synopsis
As one evil falls, another rises in its place.  The powerful witch, Desdemona, has finally been killed by an alliance of wolf, elf, and fae. But Reyaz, brother to Cypher the warlock king, has vowed retribution for a life that was taken from him. Now Cypher must decide not only how to protect his newfound mate and his people, but also how to destroy the only family he has left.
Meanwhile, Jen’s pregnancy progresses and the fateful due date draws ever nearer. The thought of losing Decebel’s child constantly threatens to overwhelm her. With each passing day, Decebel grows more distant, causing Jen to wonder what toll the impending loss of their child is taking on him. Unbeknownst to Jen, in an act of desperation to protect his unborn child and mate, Decebel strikes a deadly bargain with the Great Luna—his life in place of his child’s. There is only one way for that to happen; the bond between he and Jen must be broken.
As Jen as Decebel struggle through their darkness, another kind of darkness is infiltrating Fane’s heart. Doubts and questions linger as he tries to cope with the emotions brought on in the aftermath of Desdemona’s curse. He knows what happened wasn’t real, but still he can’t rid himself of the terrible images seared into his memory. Jacque is his light, the one who keeps the darkness at bay, yet he won’t let her inside to do just that.
Sally continues to learn what it means to be a gypsy healer and Costin struggles to protect her as she runs full speed ahead to help her wolves, heedless of her own safety. She sees her best friends struggling, each enduring their own trials. She’s desperate to help them, but can she keep them safe?
With all of these things hanging heavy over the heads of the Serbia and Romania packs, their attention is divided. The wolves do not even realize a threat has slowly infiltrated their midst. Will they recognize the threat in time to save the lives that precariously hang in the balance?
Against this backdrop of darkness, choices will be made, fears will confronted, and the ultimate sacrifice will be made.  Will the wolves stand together to defeat the threats arrayed against them, both from within and without? Will love conquer all? Or will the beleaguered wolves finally succumb to their demons?

My Review 
WAH!! I WANT MORE!! I can seriously NEVER get enough of the sexy, pouting, possessive, aggressive, smoldering, devoted werewolves! The love between mates is so deep and beautiful it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And if you mess with their females, you will feel the furry wrath of hell beat down on you! That's not to say the females can't take care of themselves, they've proven that over and over again. They've gotten stronger and snarkier with each book, and their influence on other members of the pack is glaringly obvious. There is not a character from this series that I haven't learned to care deeply about. And in this book, they have gotten themselves into even more trouble than ever before (I didn't think that was possible). They will each have to look deeply inside to find out what is most important and make sacrifices for those they love. All I can tell you is that you are gonna need many, many kleenexes as you read this. And once you start it, don't plan on putting it down until you finish. It's not possible. So go, now, get it! Why are you still reading this when you could be reading about sexy, fur-covered hotties??

A Risk Worth Taking 
by 
Heather Hildenbrand

Accendo Press - October 2013

Goodreads link: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18370731-a-risk-worth-taking



BOOK SUMMARY:
When 22-year-old Summer Stafford’s parents split halfway through her senior year at college, Summer’s world is rocked. Everything she thought she knew—heck, everything she thought she wanted for her own life—feels like a lie. The truth is love is a risk. And the true kind, the kind that lasts, might even be a fairy tale.
Reeling from the divorce, Summer derails her own future by breaking up with her parent-approved boyfriend and giving up her lifelong plans for a big-city career. She moves back home, business degree in hand. Dad needs her to fill the gaps her mother left behind; Summer needs to find who she is outside of the cookie-cutter life that failed so miserably for her parents.
Ford O’Neal’s future involves one person: himself. He doesn’t have a permanent address and he definitely doesn’t commit. To a place or a person. Raised by hippies, he plans just far enough ahead to secure his next stop, this one landing him at a work-study program at Heritage Plantation where he can grow his own herbal and medicinal creations.
Summer is gorgeous and smart and fun to be with, the perfect way to pass five months. It won’t be love—Ford’s got too many things to accomplish, too many places to go, before he settles down. Yet Summer pulls him in, challenging him to rethink his own philosophy.
When Ford’s five months are up, each of them must decide if love is really worth the risk.

Wide Open
(Wide Awake #2)
by
Shelly Crane
 Milo is trouble. 

He lives it, breathes it. He embraces anything that numbs and takes his mind somewhere else, a world where his mother is herself and not just a shell, and his brother didn't almost kill her, severing any relationship they had. But more importantly, Milo drowns out the guilt for leaving his mother and not being able to forgive his brother. He drowns his pride and moves on to another girl and another party, pretending that life isn't moving on around him and he's stuck in the same place. He's stuck in the past and doesn't know how to let go.

Maya is trouble.

She's done the party scene and has had her fair share of close calls and handcuffs. Not the kinky kind. She's so over it all and fought like hell for that life to let go so she could move on. She now works as a teen counselor. Her life is better, but her life is empty. She has no one but her brother in the whole world left and he's sick with a disease that no medicine can cure. 

When they meet, a romance that scares them both emerges, but the love you fight for is the love that can mend bridges, heal scars, and open closed hearts. They'll need each other, they'll want each other, they'll have each other. 

But will it all come too late?


Coming December 2013!

Excerpt 
“That’s not the point,” Fane snapped, “You’re my mate. You belong by my side.”
Jacque groaned and threw her head back. “Are you kidding me? Look, I understand that you males have this weird complex that makes you all possessive and whatnot, but this is my mom, Fane. She’s hurting and I’m not going to stand back while she goes back to the states after the man she loves has sent her away.”
“It’s for her own good. He’s just trying to keep her safe.” Fane pushed off of the wall and walked towards his mate. “It’s not like he doesn’t love her.”
“And you think that makes it less painful?” Jacque slammed her suitcase closed and zipped it shut with much more force than was needed. Poor suitcase, she thought, it’s not your fault all the males on this blasted continent are clueless buttheads.
“I can hear you, you know?”
Jacque raised her eyes to look at Fane. “Yes, I’m well aware of the fact that you frequently listen in when you are not invited.”

Amy Miles


Ashlyn Doyle doesn’t trust the world. 
Assistant to the famous romance author, Tamsin Archer, it falls to Ashlyn to find the perfect eye candy to grace the cover of Ender’s Betrayal, but when she bumps into Slade Collins on the streets of London, she gets far more than she bargained for.
Determined to make his mark in the world, Slade leaps at the opportunity to bring Ender James to life during a five city book tour.  His sly smile and dashing British accent easily capture the attention of the fiery Tamsin Archer, and her assistant.  The faster Slade moves into the spotlight, the more he begins to realize that fame isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.
As Ashlyn and Slade are forced to work side by side, they will soon discover that love is a tangible thing, but only if they are willing to reach for it.

Indie-Credible Event!!

Featuring:

Morgan Wylie

A dying realm.

The ancient evil of the Droch-Shúil has been unleashed. 

The Orchids have been silenced… but for how long?

Daegan, elite of the Ferrishyn warrior tribe of Faeries, is charged with a mission to find the Sol-lumieth, a mysterious new power that could change the fate of all in the realm of Alandria. But he is conflicted by his purpose, and he cannot trust the motives of those he serves. He has too many questions and they must be answered.

Kaeleigh, a girl abandoned as a small child just outside Missoula, Montana, is now 18. She is trying to discover who she is and where she belongs. In her heart, she feels she has family out there… somewhere. Desperate to unravel the mysteries of her past, she embarks on a journey that will forever change her along with her two best friends, Finn and Chel—who have secrets of their own.

My Review 
Love this story!  Kaeleigh is such a cool girl that has adjusted well after being abandoned as a child.   After all these years full of questions, she may be about to get the answers to her past whether she really wants them or not - along with several other surprises along the way.  One of those surprises comes in the form of a tall, dark, and handsome (not to mention tedious and overbearing) stranger that seems to show up out of nowhere.  Daegan is starting to question the rulers of his land and the work he is doing for them.  His decisions over what to do about it may affect more lives than he realizes.  Kaeleigh also has two loyal and fun friends that will follow her anywhere.  As if Daegan doesn't cause enough turbulence on his own, now all four of them have to learn things about themselves and each other they may have never imagined.  I'm excited for more this amazing story!

Author Interview
Favorite Book & Author: Oh man! I think this is an impossible question to answer, but I'll try. I read a LOT. Reading was my first love, before I really started writing again. I write fantasy because I love fantasy, paranormal, urban fantasy, etc. I digress, favorite book(s): I loved The Mortal Instruments series, I love Quinn Loftis' The Grey Wolves series, Chelsea Fine's The Archers of Avalon series, Samantha Young's Fire Spirits series (ok all of hers actually ;), Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld series(adult) and her YA Darkest Powers series, Ooo and Tammy Blackwell's Timber Wolves series and Lizzy Ford's (ok all of her's as well). Ok so the list goes on… (yes, that's my way of not answering that question lol sorry)

Favorite Movie: Oldies I love: Footloose, Princess Bride. Current(ish): Harry Potter series and Alice in Wonderland (Johnny Depp--hello?!)

Favorite TV Show: I don't watch much TV, but I love Buffy, Roswell, Charmed, (ok those are old too--I seem to be dating myself here) but these are comfort shows I watch over and over when I need to chill. Current: Bones, NCIS (although I'm behind), Vampire Diaries (also behind), New Girl.

Favorite Writing Music: Oh I have lots of these too! lol. Basically, I create a playlist for my current project (about 2+hours worth) that are either something that inspired what I was working on or simply the emotion and vibe conveyed through the music. For example here is the playlist I made (or most of it) for Silent Orchids:



Favorite Vacation Spot: Oregon Coast and Disneyland.
How did you get started writing or decide you wanted to? I wrote on and off in my early years, but then put it aside for awhile only to pick it back up again--and much more seriously--in '08 but didn't get my idea for The Age of Alandria series until I was 7mo preggo in '09. I kept trying different ideas but nothing seemed to "click" until this one. Strangely enough, I got the idea while I was watching a commercial that had an orchid in it and the whole story flashed before me (cliché right? I know) and I've been writing ever since.
 Any hobbies? Um I used to do a lot of scrapbooking, interior design, painting, but with my writing and my 4yo I don't end up with a lot of extra time these days :)

Any pets? I grew up with dogs… big dogs, lol. But hubby isn't much of a pet person and we're in an apt right now anyway so no animals right now. Hopefully a dog in the future though. I'm a dog kinda gal ;)
 Anything else that makes you 'you'? Well, that's an interesting question. I think we all go through different kinds of challenges in our lives and they, along with our decisions and choices in how we react to those things, make us who we are as we continue to grow on our journeys. (ok that seemed a little heavy, lol) Also, what makes me "me" is: family, reading, writing, creativity, fun, faith, Reese's, coffee, Twizzler Pull 'n Peels, music, laughter, and love.
