Read With Kindle Unlimited

One paranormal investigator. One very reluctant vampire. Seven nights under the same creepy roof. What could possibly go wrong?

When paranormal researcher and podcaster Lucy Hinton’s listeners challenge her to spend a week in the spookiest house in the scariest town in America, she’s all in. She’s fascinated–not frightened–by the paranormal.

Seven nights in a creepy mansion? Great content.

A huge boost for her research funding? Even better.

The mansion's broody new owner? An unexpected complication.

Duncan MacKillop wants nothing to do with small towns, mysterious inheritances, or the relentlessly cheerful woman determined to investigate every bump in the night. The New York lawyer is determined to survive a week in the mansion his estranged grandfather left him, sell the place, and get back to his real life.

Preferably without Lucy discovering one tiny detail.

Duncan is a vampire.

No matter what happens inside the mansion, he can’t let Lucy discover that.

 

Teaser: Ballad Moon (Cowboy Christmas at Crescent Moon Ranch #4) by Tess Thompson

Ballad Moon by Tess Thompson releases on November 10th!

https://geni.us/BALLADMOON

Available on Kindle Unlimited

To the world, he’s the man behind the piano.
To her, he’s the whole show.

Blake Bennett came to Montana’s Crescent Moon Ranch to film a glossy celebrity wedding. Instead, her camera keeps finding Beck Reed, the quiet one, the piano player who holds Jack Wilder’s band together and lets everyone else take the bow.

Beck could have had the spotlight. Juilliard-trained and the pride of an old-money family with a plan for his life, he walked away from all of it to play country music in the background of someone else’s band. His family hasn’t forgiven him. He has made himself small ever since, certain that being needed is the closest he will get to being wanted. He doesn’t expect anyone to look closer.

Blake does. The daughter of a legendary documentary filmmaker who had time for four wives and none for her, she learned early to put her attention behind a lens instead of on the people in front of her. She took the job her father sneered at, determined to prove a wedding could be real art. She didn’t count on the truest thing at the ranch being the man nobody else notices.

As a slow Montana winter draws them together and the documentary turns from spectacle into something honest, Beck and Blake discover they have been running from the same thing in different directions. He faded into the background. She hid behind the camera. Now the only person either of them wants to be seen by is the one finally looking back.
Ballad Moon is the fourth book in Cowboy Christmas at Crescent Moon Ranch by USA Today bestselling author Tess Thompson, a closed-door, slow-burn Christmas romance about a gentle hero the world overlooks and the artist who finally sees him.

Read this one if you love:

• A soulful, overlooked hero and the woman who can’t look away
• A documentary filmmaker who keeps everyone at arm’s length
• Two people who chose warmth over prestige and paid for it

Five interconnected stories, one unforgettable Montana Christmas. Each book stands alone; together they tell the story of one magical month.

 

Teaser: Light It Up (Sea Smoke Island #4) by Jennifer Bernard

Light It Up by Jennifer Bernard releases on November 10th!

https://geni.us/LightItUpJB

Available On All Platforms

On Sea Smoke Island in winter, eligible men are hard to come by—let alone two of them. Both attractive. Both new to the island. And both hiding something.

Marigold Olson doesn’t have time for love-triangle drama. As the island constable, she already has her hands full with a recent string of arson fires shaking up the community.

And then there’s her Aunt Dorothy, who keeps wandering around at night rambling about selkies (mythical) and Marigold’s dead brother Ollie (real, but practically mythical).

No one ever talks about Ollie.
Especially her parents.
Marigold never even knew him.

But when she starts digging into her brother’s disappearance, things on Sea Smoke Island go off the rails. Someone wants her to stop asking questions, and they’re willing to go to explosive lengths to make that happen.

Meanwhile, the two newcomers keep turning up exactly where she doesn’t expect them, and attraction is making it increasingly difficult to separate potential ally from potential threat.

What secret died with Ollie in that long-ago storm? Is there a killer still at large? Which new man can Marigold trust…and which one is bringing lethal danger to Sea Smoke Island?

When a secret has been buried long enough, there’s only one way to uncover the truth—

Light it up.

LIGHT IT UP is a romantic suspense set on the hauntingly beautiful coast of Maine.

A Dark Knight biker, a torturous secret, and a road trip that changes everything. Come along for the emotionally wicked ride in this steamy, pulse-pounding small-town standalone romance. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a happily ever after that will stay with you long after you read the last page.

Tattooist Aria Bad has mastered the art of hiding in plain sight. Her art is her only safe place. Crowded rooms make her panic. People’s eyes burn too hot. Except his. Zeke Wicked has been the steady presence she’s leaned on since he tutored her through high school. He’s a loyal, protective Dark Knight biker, the kind of man who sees everything and the one man who could unravel her without even trying. Every year he takes her to see her family for the holidays, but this year she’s harboring a secret and needs to go alone.

Years ago, Zeke swore to protect, and never touch, Aria, but that didn’t stop his heart from staking claim to her. Lately she’s been secretive and has been pulling away, and now she’s determined to make their annual trip without him, but his instincts won’t let her go alone. When a storm strands them, boundaries blur and buried feelings rise to the surface, unearthing a passion neither can deny. But as the storm clears, they discover two dangerous truths—one that ties them together and one that threatens to tear them apart.

Tropes: Small-town, found family, biker romance, close proximity, protective hero, savior hero, friends to lovers.

About The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside
Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. These men are wickedly alpha and intensely loyal, but they are not alphaholes.

Run, don't walk, to your favorite retailer and grab The Duke's Indecent Desires by Golden Angel Romances today!

https://geni.us/IndecentDesires

A matchmaker creates the match; she does not become the bride...

When the arrogant Duke of Bolton secretly hires the most sought-after matchmaker of the ton, Lady Hu declines to advise him personally. Instead, she sends her granddaughter, Mei—a friend and confidant of the Duke's sister—to make a match for the man who once insisted his station alone should secure him a suitable bride. He needs her help more than ever now that his overbearing mother has returned to London to advise him on marital matters.

A house party, where Mei has chosen the attending debutantes, is the perfect place to show off her skills as matchmaker. But close quarters sparks an undeniable attraction between herself and the Duke. They can’t stay away from each other, and yet Mei can’t give in. To become the Duke’s mistress would mean giving up her career, her security, her entire future, all while he takes a proper debutante to be his wife.

The war between duty and desire has begun.

About the Author:

Golden Angel is a USA Today best-selling author and self-described bibliophile with a "kinky" bent who loves to write stories for the characters in her head. If she didn't get them out, she's pretty sure she'd go just a little crazy.

She is old enough to know better but still too young to care, and a big fan of happily-ever-afters, strong heroes and heroines, and sizzling chemistry.

When she's not writing, she can often be found on the couch reading, in front of her sewing machine making a new cosplay, hanging out with her friends, or wandering the Maryland Renaissance Fair.

My Review - 

Teaser: Blue Bird (Hawke's Wood #4) by Quinn Marlowe

They're the only family she has left...

But her stepfather and stepbrother aren't the men she remembers.

Blue Bird by Quinn Marlowe joins the Hawke's Wood series on November 10th!

https://geni.us/BlueBird

I thought I had everything under control.

But a single mistake endangers all that, and I’m forced to call the one man who never gave up on me: my stepbrother and former best friend, Logan Hawke.

When we were sixteen, I ran away from Logan and his father without telling them why. Now, Logan is taking me home again... to the stepfather who probably never wants to see me again.

My return is every bit as hard as I feared. Dutch Hawke is no longer the rough, affectionate man who cared for me when my mother left. He’s changed, and when I arrive I find his eyes hot with passion, his tongue sharp with anger.

And the return to Wood changes Logan, as well. He’s suddenly dark and brooding, a shadow rather than the sunshine boy I grew up with.

These men aren’t the safe haven I remember. And I’m not the outgoing girl they once knew. But I need safety, and Dutch and Logan are my only family. If they’ll have me back.

If we can learn to live with each other again.

Then, when the trouble that chased me out of New York City suddenly arrives in Wood, I get my answer. Dutch’s ice turns to a heated possessiveness and Logan becomes more dangerously protective than I imagined possible.

One is shadows and darkness, hot desires running under a rocky exterior. The other has a heart tender enough to shatter at the lightest touch.

They’re more than the stepfather and stepbrother I knew when I was young.

They’re the matches my soul has been waiting for.

If we can survive the trouble that’s coming for all of us in Hawke’s Wood.

If we can allow ourselves to finally love. Finally trust.

Finally build a family.

Blue Bird is the fourth book in the Hawke’s Wood series, and is why choose, small-town romance that features stepfather, stepbrother, motorcycle club, protective heroes, touch her and die, found family, snowed in at Christmas, and enough spice to make you want a Logan and Dutch of your very own.

About Quinn:

Quinn Marlowe is a writer of girls with bad ideas and the men who have to save them. She doesn't believe in simple plots or clean endings... and she loves a good cliffhanger.

She's not sorry for that. 

She's a fan of red wine, cheesecake, perfect hash browns, and really good punk rock. She’s also obsessed with everything piratical—though she refuses to acknowledge any actual connection to pirates. She studied English and Film at UCLA and, when forced to choose a career, chose publishing rather than teaching or being a filmmaker. Quinn lives in San Diego with her dogs, the ducks that moved into the front yard, and far too many cats.

When she's not writing, you can find her riding her horse or playing villain in someone else's story. And she's not sorry about that, either.

Everyone knows that on Fallen Meadows Ranch, passion runs deep and second chances must be earned...

Jude

When you're born and raised on the wrong side of the tracks, a smooth ride through life is a luxury you can't afford. That's why I break my back to keep the ranch equipment running. My life is hard, but it's also honest, and I've accepted that it doesn't have a happy ending. How could it when Genevieve Montgomery is my biggest regret?

Then a rare night out with the guys from the ranch lands me face-to-face with the woman I've never been able to forget. She's still just as flawless as the day she walked out of my life, and if the sparkling rock on her finger isn't enough of a reality check, meeting her polished fiancé—a local politician who expects my vote—certainly is.

I can stay in my lane and respect that she'll always be out of my league. But as campaign season heats up, she gets a taste of my rough and rowdy world, and to my surprise, this perfectly put together good girl isn't afraid to get a little filthy.

Then everything explodes. Genevieve's fiancé is hell-bent on taking down the Fallen Demons MC, and he doesn't care who gets caught in the crossfire. When the truth comes out, suddenly I'm protecting her from the biggest mistake of her life, but I'll be damned if I let anyone ruin her twice.

I never thought I'd have a reason to fight like a demon again...

Mammon

I’ve spent most of my life watching the things I care about burn to ash. After the tragedy of losing people I loved most, I shut down and let a bitter silence drive a wedge between me and my sister. Now, my eyes are finally wide open. I’m proud to see my sister finding her own happiness, but a guy like me, with grease on his hands and the Fallen Demons MC patch on his back, I'm good on my own. I’m just focused on making sure I never lose anyone else.

Until she crashes into my world like the harmony in the midst of my forever hell. 

Paisley is pure sunshine and joy. A bright light, and a badass on the rodeo circuit. She's better than the life she's living, but you'd never know it by the way she works her fingers to the bone. She’s everything I’m not, and the harder she tries to smile through the grit, the faster she tears down my walls.

But a light that bright attracts dangerous shadows. Paisley thinks she’s just dealing with typical rodeo drama, but I see something sinister in the threats she's been getting. Someone isn't just bitter about not being the best. And whoever it is doesn't just want revenge. They're trying to destroy her.

No matter who's behind this, I'm determined to protect her, because I never thought I’d have something worth fighting for again. Whoever thinks they can touch my girl will find out exactly why I’m called Mammon and am part of the Fallen Demons.

About E.C. Land

Books I Plan to Read October 25-31 and last week's results

 

La ora na (be healthy in Tahitian),

Sorry for the delay. I have gotten wrapped up in the packing process and ran out of time in the day. We are having movers pack a POD for us this coming Wednesday. It is getting closer, and I am getting excited, though I am also sad. The final move won't be until November (fingers crossed). It all depends on the selling of our house.

The weather here has been amazingly sunny with temperatures during the day 50's-60's. At night it has gotten down to the 40's. I do enjoy autumn/fall, especially the nice days. Who is the weather by you? 

Last week's reading went as planned, and I did squeeze in an extra ebook. I actually have a chart that shows any ARCs that are due, and somehow I missed this one.

Ebooks: 

All or None by Clive Fleury - 4 1/2 stars.

Rope Burn by Delta James - 5 stars.

(extra) Haunted Harley by Morgan Jane Mitchell - 5 stars.

Audiobooks: 

By Hook or By Book by Misty Simon - 5 stars.

Suppression by Laramie Briscoe - 5 stars.

Planned for October 25-31:

Ebooks: 

Audiobooks: 

Well, that is it for now. With most of the packing done, I may have a little more free time. Only time will tell. With the cooler weather, I like to stay curled up in bed in the morning and read. How about you? Feel free to comment and let me know what you are up to.

A hiahou (until next time in Tahitian),
