Missing in Action!

 

Hello Readers!

 

I hope that everyone had a Magical Christmas & a Happy New Year!
Unfortunately, I have been missing in action for the past while and it is a very long story but I am sorry for the inconvenience and I am going to give a few highlights of the reason why.


For the past 3 years, my family and I have been looking for some family land to put mobile homes on (we lost our previous home). Needless to say, 3 years is a bit much but various setbacks kept getting in the way so we pretty much moved several places across 4 states. My parents finally decided they wanted to come back close to where we previously lived and last January, they found a piece of property, only we got rooked and found out after we bought it that they wouldn't let us put mobile homes there. When we finally found another piece, we'll let's just say that there is a lot of red tape and hoopes to jump through to get the permits (flood zone, our houses are over 5 feet in air). Down to the crunch money wise and I got kicked out of where I was staying and had to move out in 2 days into my mobile home without electricity and water. During the move, it was raining and so I have been very sick, while trying to get the house in (Christmas??? sorry it got skipped) I finally have electricity (internet) & water (still no hot water though).

 

I will spend this month, catching up and writing reviews and posting them on all the sites (Goodreads, Amazon, etc...) as soon as possible. After that, then I will get the posts worked up and hopefully I will begin posting again February 1, 2020 here on my blog - Stormy Vixen's Book Reviews & on my Facebook page.

 

I am so sorry and I hope to share lots of amazing books with you this coming year!

New Release Review! Nevermore (Raven Crawford #2) J.C. McKenzie!

 

 

I decided to pay Raven Crawford a visit, you know, just find out how she is doing since that wicked confrontation with Queen Lloth and boy am I glad I checked in because Raven has just found out that the confrontation has some unexpected and unfortunate consequences as if her love life being a hot mess, isn't enough! Enjoy and don't forget to add NEVERMORE - the second book in the Raven Crawford series by J.C. McKenzie to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

Rundown waitress, part-time private investigator, and half-fae shifter, Raven Crawford, always gets the opposite of what she wants most. She works two jobs but can’t pay the bills. Her confrontation with Queen Lloth has unexpected and unfortunate consequences, and her love life is a hot mess.

 

With failure and disappointment honed to painful perfection, Raven’s life is riddled with complications, including her troublesome attraction to the lethal Lord of Shadows. When her latest case leads to a group hell-bent on destruction, she must decide who to trust. Will she choose wisely, or will she fail once again and become the next casualty in a war between the Mortal Realm and the Underworld?

 

 

 

She’s a rundown waitress, part-time investigator and half-fae shifter who always gets the opposite of what she wants. Raven Crawford is working two jobs but can’t pay the bills, her confrontation with Queen Lloth has some unexpected and unfortunate consequences and her latest case is leading to a group of hell-bent on destruction and could make her another casualty in a war between the Mortal Realm and the Underworld.

 

Readers are hooked from the very first page of this highly suspenseful and exciting read. The second book in the ‘Raven Crawford’ trilogy has Raven’s life taking some stunning turns that push her more into the Underworld than she wants and her troublesome attraction to the lethal Lord of Shadows is getting harder to fight. This story starts off with some unsettling news, two new cases for the investigation business and just keeps building more and more suspense with every twists and turn of every exciting page. The plot has a steady to fast pace and is filled with lots of excitement to be found throughout as well as all the emotional turmoil that Raven faces as her life is turned upside down and maybe even inside out. 

 

Readers can’t help but become enthralled by Raven’s life as they follow the case and bite their nails in anticipation of what will come next for Raven, especially regarding the outrageous consequences of her confrontation with Queen Lloth. This trilogy is so very fascinating and full of wonderfully unique and surprising elements and a snarky heroine that really reaches out and grabs readers by their imaginations.

Enjoy and don't forget to add WYVERN'S OUTLAW & CELO'S QUEST - books #4 & 4.5 in the Dragons of Incendium series by Deborah Cooke to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

Ryke wants nothing more than to escape the space pirates of the Gloria Furore and go home to his young son. He’s pretended to share their views and has worked his way up the ranks to co-pilot of the Armada Seven, commanded by the most vicious space captain of all. The capture of Princess Anguissa and her ship, the Archangel, is a moment of triumph for his superior—except that Anguissa never plays by anyone’s rules. In a flash of dragon fire, she incinerates most of the crew and takes command of the Armada Seven. Ryke is spared, but he’s not sure why—what plans does the beautiful dragon princess have for his future? And what will she demand to grant his wish of returning home? 

 

 

 

In this short story, Celo, the hidden prince who understands the language of wild creatures, unearths a forgotten secret. He accepts a challenge and embarks on a quest, seeking the solution to the riddle beyond the forests of Regalia.

MY REVIEWS

 

 

He’s pretended to share the Gloria Furore space pirates’ views and has worked his way up the ranks, but Ryke wants nothing more than to escape and go home to his young son. The capture of Princess Anguissa and her ship is a moment of triumph for his superior, except Anguissa never plays by anyone’s rules and she’s soon in command of the Armada Seven. Ryke’s not sure why he’s been spared or what plans the beautiful dragon princess has in store for him but surely he can manipulate things the way he wants them to go, right?

 

This ‘Dragons of Incendium’ story is one non-stop, thrilling adventure of a story with lots of sizzling chemistry, flying sparks and feisty attitude that readers cannot put down. Anguissa and Ryke are vibrant characters that stand out and really spark the imagination with tons of chemistry and feisty attitude that keeps readers very entertained throughout their fiery relationship. They are enemies and are forbidden to have anything to do with the other but that doesn’t stop the attraction between them from getting the upper hand even if they aren’t sure they can trust the other so there is lots of emotional angst and red hot passion to spare.

 

The plot is fast past with lots going on at every given moment, ensuring that readers never experience a dull moment and the thrilling suspense and nail biting excitement has them hanging on to the edge of their seat. Some new and unique story elements introduce another fascinating alien culture to this world as another dragon princess defies tradition does things in their own spitfire way. 

 

 

 

He’s the hidden prince who understands the language of wild creatures and now he has unearthed a forgotten secret and accepts a challenge and embarks on a quest, seeking the solution to a riddle.

 

This short is quite informative with a lovely and very engaging legend regarding the dragons. This legend is enthralling and the teller of the legend, even more so and readers can’t take their eyes from the pages. This sets up the next story and ends on a cliffhanger but the readers find themselves delighted and charmed with this novella in the ‘Dragons of Incendium’ series.

WYVERN'S OUTLAW is #4 & CELO'S QUEST is #4.5 in the DRAGONS OF INCENDIUM series.

 

Features dragon shifter princesses whose adventures are out of this world!

 

Once, in the Kingdom of Incendium, there were twelve princesses of the realm, each a dragon shifter. Each fiery and passionate. Each possessed of an appetite for pleasure that only her destined mate can satisfy. Twelve men are expected in Incendium, each with special powers of his own, each with the gift to claim one dragon princess’s heart forever.

 

On the far side of the galaxy, two planets, Regalia and Incendium, are locked into orbit around a dying sun. Since the Queen of Regalia has twelve sons, and the King of Incendium has twelve daughters, it is clear to both monarchs that the time has come to put their differences aside and compel at least one pair of their children to marry. A prophecy that Drakina, the oldest daughter of the house of Incendium, will bear a son who will save the planet simply adds to the parental desire for a wedding.

 

The sons of Regalia are champions and knights. The daughters of Incendium are dragon shifters, fiery princesses with appetites beyond all expectation.

 

The first royal match does not work out well.

What's the worst thing that can happen to a werewolf? Unable to shift for three months, Mateo Cruz knows all too well. His wolf has taken up residence in his head, taunting him night and day with vividly violent and carnal thoughts. Convinced he's cursed, he needs the help of a powerful witch before he literally goes insane.

 

Evie Savoie has always obeyed the house rules of her coven--no werewolves. They're known for being moody and volatile. So, when a distempered, dangerous werewolf strolls into the bar and almost strangles one of her late-night customers, she's ready to bounce him through the door. But the desperation in his eyes when he begs her to help him softens her heart and convinces her to bend the rules.

 

What Evie doesn't know is that Mateo's wolf has a mind of his own. And now that she's in his sights, he wants only one thing. Her.

Christmas cheer quickly turns to chaos when the other females at Zeum can't locate their stones, either. Subsequently, terrible events occur one after another, and Mack is convinced it's because of the missing jewels. She fears her worst nightmare has come true.

Mack and Kyran travel to the dragon realm, Khoth, in search of a clue to the whereabouts of the stones.

All the holiday cheer throughout Zeum quickly turns to chaos as none of the females’ stones can be found and terrible events began occurring.

Neither Brenda nor Tami grew up writing stories or dreaming of one day being authors but that changed when they shared a joint dream of creating a world to bring to life the stories of a group of dangerously handsome supernaturals.

 

Brenda is a Southern California girl who grew up in a chaotic house with ten siblings. Brenda survived the brutal murder of her first husband, John DeCaprio, at the hands of the children he was counseling to go on and help children in similar situations. Brenda remarried years later and now lives with her husband and their three fun-loving, energetic children. She loves running, reading, cooking, and Monster Energy drinks. And, Tami's margaritas!

 

Tami is a southern girl, born and raised in Georgia. She is married and has two boys, so needless to say, she is surrounded by testosterone. We are trying to bottle Tami's strength and positive outlook on life. It has helped her beat breast cancer and she is a proud three-year survivor. She loves reading paranormal romances, running at the lake near her home, watching college football (Go Dawgs!!!), and is always in search of the next best margarita.

 

Their life journeys led them both to Texas and one another. They fast became best friends and can always be found together. Whether it's lounging by the pool or writing steamy love scenes, they are frequently seen laughing and smiling!

New Release Review! Coldest Fire (Dominion #3) Juliette Cross!

 

 

Shh....be very quiet. I am in a post apocalyptic world and I am following the archangel Uriel around because I want to see the demon prince Vladek get what he deserves and Uriel is so hell bent on getting his revenge that he has even accepted the help of the witch Nadya. This is so exciting! Enjoy and don't forget to add COLDEST FIRE - the 3rd and final book in the Dominion series by Juliette Cross to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

Archangel Uriel is hell bent on revenge on the demon prince Vladek. To get into the prince’s impenetrable fortress, he’ll have to fight in the pits of the underworld. And he’ll need the help of the last person he can trust –– the demon witch Nadya.

 

There is no way Nadya, who spends her days taking care of others, expected to find Uriel on her doorstep. He seems no happier about being there than she does. But helping him means evening the scales against her backstabbing sister, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make that bitch pay.

 

Using the fight pit circuits in the demon underworld, Nadya helps Uriel combat his way to the arena at the castle in Russia. Only she isn’t what she seems. As a matter of fact, she may hold the key to his redemption...and to his heart.

Nadya helps Uriel combat his way to the arena at the castle in Russia, but she isn’t what she seems, as a matter of fact she may hold the key to his redemption…and to his heart.

 

What an awesome, earth shattering conclusion to the Dominion series! Uriel and Nadya are two bold, striking characters that easily capture the attention of their audience which consists not only of the readers but also the bad guys. The chemistry between them is made of strong, electrical and fiery current but the romance is quite sweet as these two wounded souls join together to achieve their goals.

New Release Review! Ruthless Rogue (Rock Creek Clan #4 / Fierce Mates Universe) Liza Street!

 

 

I was visiting with the Rock Creek Clan a few days ago and let me tell you they had quite a bit of excitement going on as as rival shifter clan sets their sites on Ian's mate whom he's been looking for months! Enjoy and don't forget to add RUTHLESS ROGUE - the 4th book in the Rock Creek Clan by Liza Street to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

 

With an appetite like his, one night is never enough.

 

Faith is comfortable living a quiet life among her books. One wild night doesn’t define a person, especially when it’s based on a dare, or when it happens with a stranger she’ll never see again. But that was the past, and the guy is gone. She holds tight to the hot memories he left in his wake—and she tells herself those memories are enough.

 

It’s impossible for a shifter to forget his fated mate, but what happens when she doesn’t want to be found? Grizzly shifter Ian has been trying to track his one-night-stand for months. When he finds her, he realizes he’s not the only shifter interested in this captivating human woman. A rival shifter clan is sniffing around his mate, and there’s nothing Ian won’t do to keep her safe.

 

 

Ruthless Rogue is a steamy, fast-paced paranormal romance with a bookish heroine and a strong hero intent on claiming her. There’s a slight cliffhanger (more of a steep slope) teasing the next book, but Faith and Ian get their HEA.

 

If you’re a bibliophile and a fan of shapeshifter romance, one-click Ruthless Rogue and join Faith and Ian on the adventure of a lifetime!

When her best friend Jessica is injured during a flight and winds up in the arms of her soulmate, Rory is the only one in the entire nest who supports her. On a trip to visit her bestie, she’s carted off into the woods by a huge male, and she knows she’s found the one male on the planet meant for her.

 

While Tayme’s family and sleuth welcome her with open arms, the owl nest is anything but welcoming. A meet up with her adoptive parents ends in bloodshed, and Rory feels like she’s once again an orphan. Until strangers come knocking on the park’s front gate one dark night and offer her a chance to be with her own kind again. When faced with the decision, will she remain in the zoo or leave?

She’s been hired to socialize a criminal whose memory has been erased, but the better Kathryn gets to know him, the more she fights to strip away the lies she’d been told. As they grow closer together, she knows every move they make puts her in grave danger. Does the man who named himself Hunter have the skill and cunning to save her life?

 

The ‘Decorah Security’ romance is an extremely suspenseful read with a wonderfully fervent romance that readers can really sink their teeth into. The characters are strong and full of life and the chemistry between sizzles with spicy passion that heats up the pages. But this relationship is in no way guaranteed a happily ever after as the hero and heroine soon discover they among a group of people full of lies and hidden agendas which keeps emotions running high.

 

The plot is fast paced and full of thrills and excitement as with every turn of the page another lie or hidden aspect of this fascinating story is revealed, keeping readers glued to the pages and vibrating with exhilaration. Stunning twists and turns also ensures that readers can’t look away as they might miss something and when readers reach this delightful conclusion, they just have to sigh in satisfaction.

EXCERPT:

 

Acting out of character, Hunter has defended himself by decking a man before going off to take a shower. The staff are all afraid of what he will do next. Kathryn volunteers to bring him out.

 

She wanted to bolt from the room. But she remembered the face of the man on the road. She’d seen a bleakness behind his eyes that had wrenched at her heart. No wonder, when you considered the implications of Emerson and Winslow’s callous conversation.

 

Instead of running away, she crossed the tile floor on unsteady legs and dropped quickly onto one of the benches.

 

There was no noise from inside the shower room besides the steady dripping of water. And she could see nothing beyond the billowing steam.

 

“Hello?” she called.

 

No answer.

 

“Hello. It’s Kathryn Kelley. Do you remember me? We met while you were on your run. I’m in the locker room.”

 

She sat staring into the mist, wondering if he had heard. Or if he even remembered her, for that matter, she thought with a jolt. If they’d been feeding him mind-altering drugs, there was no telling what they’d done to him.

 

After several seconds she saw a form moving indistinctly in the vapor. A tall, man-shaped form. Moving closer. Moving slowly on feet that were silent as a cat. Then he stepped through the doorway and into the locker room, and she couldn’t hold back a gasp. A towel was draped across his shoulders. Otherwise, he was as naked as the day he was born.

 

She saw her own feeling of shock mirrored on his face as he came to an abrupt halt, staring at her with a mixture of recognition and astonishment. Well, he remembered her, all right. Apparently, their meeting had been as unique for him as it had been for her.

 

The disbelief vanished as he continued to regard her, standing comfortably with his feet several inches apart. He was tall and intimidating, towering over her where she huddled on the bench. Droplets of water clung to his skin. His dark hair was wet, making it look almost black.

 

“You were with McCourt,” he said, his features filling with a roiling mixture of emotions before he got control of them.

 

She struggled to keep her posture relaxed as she looked up at him. He had been compelling in running shorts and a tee shirt. Naked he reminded her of Michelangelo’s David. And he stood with the same unconscious nobility, as if nudity were the norm and she was overdressed in her beige skirt and jade silk blouse. His shoulders were broad, his hips lean, his stomach flat. And his sex was proportioned to inspire some very erotic fantasies.

 

But this was no time for fantasies or recklessness. One wrong move and she could be in serious trouble. The two of them were alone, and he could hurt her if he wanted, she reminded herself. The thought of rape leaped into her mind, to be dismissed at once. He wasn’t looking at her like a would-be rapist. In fact, he didn’t look as if he were trying to embarrass her or make a point about a woman invading the guys’ locker room. There was no smirk on his face—only an expression that had become carefully neutral.

New Release Review! One Hot Holiday (Wilde Ways #6) Cynthia Eden!

 

 

I am taking an early holiday vacation and heading to Point Hope, Alabama, a town that's gone crazy for the holidays! And things are getting really hot here in Point Hope as sexy sheriff, Spencer Lane has his hands full protecting a woman full of secrets! Enjoy and don't forget to add ONE HOT HOLIDAY the 6th book in the Wilde Ways series by Cynthia Eden to your shelves!

 

 

 

 

She’s running for her life. He’s the safe haven she never expected to find. The holiday season is about to get HOT.

 

Hiding out for the holiday season in the heart of the South? Not something that Haley Quick ever expected to have on her to-do list but then…she never expected her ex to want her dead, either. Turns out, life is full of surprises. Time to deal. Haley has ditched New York for a crazy little dot on the map known as Point Hope, Alabama. It’s a town gone extra crazy for the holidays, and Haley is sticking out like a sore thumb with her very much Grinch-self.

 

But enter sexy sheriff Spencer Lane…Tall, muscled, and made with an extra dose of sex appeal, he is exactly the kind of man that Haley should be avoiding. He’s charming, he looks way too good in a Santa hat, and, oh, yes, he’s her new landlord. The hits just keep coming. She can’t afford to let Spencer learn all of her secrets, a tough job since she is living with the man. No sex, though. It’s purely a business relationship. Except…the holidays in the South sure do get HOT. Or maybe that’s just sexy Spencer. Usually, Haley falls for the bad guy. It’s the whole reason she’s running for her life. She can’t help but wonder…What would it be like to fall for a man like Spencer?

 

He just got his Christmas wish.

 

Sheriff Spencer Lane can’t believe his luck. The most beautiful, fascinating woman he’s ever seen has just dropped into his life like a gift from, well, the big guy in red. Only the problem is that Haley seems to think Spencer is some by-the-book, nice guy. Probably because of the badge. And if she wants him to be the hero, that’s a role that he’s happy to play for her. But the truth is, Spencer has plenty of darkness inside, too. An ex Navy SEAL, he knows how to get sh—um, stuff done. He also knows how to be very, very naughty.

 

When danger threatens his Haley, all bets are off. No one is going to hurt her. No one is going to threaten her. Not in his town. Not on his watch. The nice guy will show Haley just how bad he can be.

 

Fake snow, a parade of wild elves, and a stalker ex don’t make for the merriest of times, but in Point Hope, anything can happen—and it usually does. Ready for a steamy story that will get you in the ho-ho-ho spirit? Settle back, curl up with Spencer, and have yourself a jolly old time.

 

 

For my “Wilde Ways” fans…you will meet two new Wilde agents in ONE HOT HOLIDAY (they are secondary characters), and there are a few more “Wilde” surprises in the story, too… 

 

 

 

She never expected to have to hide out for the holiday season in the heart of the south, but then again, Haley Quick never expected her ex to want her dead either. But life is full of surprises and she’s in Point Hope, Alabama where her Grinch-self is sticking out like a sore thumb among a town one extra crazy for the holidays. Sheriff Spencer Lane can’t believe his luck as the most beautiful, fascinating woman he’s ever seen has just dropped into this life like a gift from the big guy in red. But as an ex Navy Seal, he knows that Haley’s hiding something and he knows how to be very, very naughty.

 

Be prepared to get very warm indeed with One Hot Holiday…or should I say one sexy sheriff? Haley and Spencer are two strong, captivating with some fiery chemistry right from the start but with Haley running from her past so there’s plenty of resistance as well. The sheriff is protective and ready to be naughty in several different ways (LOL) but Haley isn’t really a push over and she could be just as feisty and protective.

 

The plot is fast paced, full of holiday cheer and shenanigans as well as excitement and suspense as the bad guys come to town in search of Haley. So along with a few laughs and lots of red hot passion, there is some twists and turns to keeps readers on their toes and ensures that this romance is one spicy read that makes their toes curl in delight.
