A New Sierra Dafoe Book-At Last!!!! Life's A Beach Now Out at Changeling Press
Life's A Beach
Sierra Dafoe
Changeling Press
Life's a bitch, so far as beautiful biochemist Lily McKinney is concerned. You work hard, and then you die. And even if you do find a man to fall in love with, he breaks your heart. Now she's determined to discover the biochemical causes of that sticky, confusing emotion called love -- so she can make sure she never has to feel it again.
But when she's shipped off unwillingly to Myrtle Beach for three weeks' vacation, Lily learns she knows even less about life -- and love -- than she thought, as the carnal attentions of two handsome strangers teach her that not even the world's greatest scientists can unravel the mysteries of the human heart.
First off, I want to say-Welcome Back, Sierra!!! And what a way to return! This is a fantastic and fun book-a short but extremely HOT read. I love the character development here. Just when you think Lily will get three weeks of peace, quiet and much needed relaxation, what should happen but the appearance at her borrowed Myrtle Beach hideaway of not one, but two amazing men. And the way she first sees them goes way beyond hot, believe me. What could be hotter than secretly spying on an Adonis of a man swimming naked, you ask? Why, watching two sinfully hot guys, both naked, swimming in the moonlight and pleasuring each other in the pool. This is enough to recommend the book in itself, but when these two gang up to give Lily more pleasure than she has ever felt, the heat goes through the roof.
I love Lily. She has been burned, and isn't looking to repeat the process. Her life is devoted to finding a scientific explanation for "love" and all that it entails, and after two years, she is so tense and uptight, she is ready to snap. I enjoyed watching her finally let loose on her forced vacation. I fell in love with Alec and Tyler: Alec for his humor and spontaneity, and Tyler for his sensitive and caring side that was finally able to break through to Lily.
This is the perfect summer short read, and I made the mistake of reading it at work on my lunch break. It was wonderful, but scenes kept drifiting through my head the rest of the day, distracting me: on second thought that is a very good thing.

ARC Contest - RIDING THE NIGHT by Jaci Burton
AJ and Pax work together as undercover operatives for a government agency of bad-boy bikers known as the Wild Riders. And though they play as hard as they work, both men are looking for the one woman who can tame them…
On vacation, AJ and Pax run into AJ’s high school sweetheart, Teresa. While they’re catching up at Teresa’s bar, a fight erupts between two biker gangs, leaving one man dead and Teresa’s brother wrongly accused of murder. With no proof and Teresa as the only eye witness, the trio points their Harleys toward the annual bike rally in South Dakota in hot pursuit of the real killer…
Her life in jeopardy, AJ and Pax become Teresa’s fierce protectors. But a past trauma keeps Teresa guarded, unable to trust them–until AJ and Pax uncover her secret and vow to do anything to help her heal. And in their arms she discovers a sensual desire that knows no boundaries, a passion strong enough to overcome her tragic past and awaken a force that brings both men to their knees.
Danger may temporarily bind the three together, but it’s their shared passion that will lead them to the ride of their lives: love.

Coming August 3, 2010
A split second is all it takes to pull the trigger on destiny

Robyn’s deafness doesn’t stop her from taking the backcountry trip she’s been craving. Meeting a hot, ripped hunk-of-male at the Yukon cabin starts cravings of a different kind. And raises questions about wolves, mates, and duels to the death.
He wanted a quiet retreat before challenging for the pack Alpha position. Keil wasn’t planning on meeting his mate or discovering she’s not aware she has the genes of a wolf to go along with her attitude…
Wolf Flight
Tad’s workaholism keeps his bush-pilot company in the air, and his inner werewolf in check. Letting it lose would mean compromising his human principles. Then Missy re-enters his life, and their chemistry is off the charts, pushing him closer to the step he’s not sure it’s safe to take.
A wolf pack is a dangerous place to have secrets, and Missy’s corrupt Alpha has sniffed out her carefully hidden Omega powers. Her only choice is to get to Tad, and hope like hell his untapped powers are strong enough to negate her own…
Warning: Contains nasty Alphas, secret Omegas, and yup—predestined mates. Includes dangerous use of sarcasm and hot wilderness nookie.
This is a "must have" book, filled with humor, romance, suspense, and scorching hot shifters having enough smoking hot sex to melt the polar icecap.

Last Call Europe: Classy Bitch
Last Call Europe:Classy Bitch by Lacey Savage
Changeling Press
Margot LeFevre has a duty to uphold, and a mission to fulfill. And nothing would jeopardize both quicker than ordering a drink from Last Call's exotic menu. Still, she can't help but wonder what it would be like to be someone different, just for one night. Someone sexy, someone alluring, someone free to give in to the need for pleasure and pain that simmers inside her.
Lucky for her, she's about to find out.
Classy Bitch: Whore in designer clothing, ripe for the taking.
Last Call, the bar where paranormals can go to relax and forget for a while. And the “special” menu can give what the heart desires. Margot LeFevre has a duty to her pack, one she has prepared most of her life for. To provide security for her pack, she is to marry the heir to the Synai throne, uniting the packs and strengthening both. In the middle of a battlefield, fresh from defeating a winged serpent leader, Vito Moretti receives a six-word message from his father: “Come home. You are to be married.” Margot has kept her desires hidden deeply, knowing she must fulfill her duty, but she can’t resist one evening of wishful thinking at Last Call. She isn’t really interested in a drink, but three fairy godmothers take the decision from her, ordering for her: One Classy Bitch: Whore in designer clothing, ripe for the taking. She is hustled out of the bar to a room where she is bespelled until the right man shows up. Enter Vito, looking for nothing more that one last night of unrestrained sexual fury. Will Margot get what she longs for so desperately-unrestrained passion and fulfillment? Will Vito find a woman able to accept all that he is in bed as well as out? Can they walk away from what they experience at Last Call to face their duty to the packs?
Margot is a member of the Royal Pack of Neveere, trained as a diplomat and prepared for her fate as future mate to the heir to the Synai throne. But she has hidden desires and she is ashamed of these feelings. She knows she is different from the other women of her pack, and wants to experience passion for herself at least once. She is smart, strong and determined to do what is required, even when she believes she is marrying someone who will never accept her as she is. Vito knows he must do his duty and marry the chosen woman and unite the packs, but he also knows that no woman can accept his full passion without injury. He is a strong, handsome and skilled lover, one who must give all when he makes love. I loved the tricks that the three fairy godmothers must use to get these two together and there is one ironic twist at the end that is fantastic. As with all the Last Call books, the sex here is hot and intense, and Margot and Vito raise the bar to a whole new level in this one. I recommend this to those who love irony, and be warned, this is not for the faint of heart.

Being summoned home to be married is the last thing Vito Moretti expects. But before he can convince his father that he's not about to be chained down to any woman -- especially one he's never met -- Vito swings by Last Call for one more night of pure, unapologetic pleasure.
