Miracles don't come free and words are binding... His miracles have a cursed edge, but he’s not the villain Sara expected. Still, she’s not exactly thrilled about being stuck with a centuries old ghost with a flair for the dramatic and a nasty habit of pushing her buttons just for the fun of it. With his penchant for boredom—and the fact that she’s the only one able to see and hear him—he’s about as common as her shadow and as welcome as mold. Even if he is pretty handy in her British Literature class. A story of Faustian bargains, a lot of pride, and a helping of prejudice. |

Crystals and Contracts by A.A. Fairview My landlord is going to hate me for what I’m about to do. I’ve never had a father and never wanted one either. To my dismay, I do have a father, Arthur le Fay–a crime lord witch. Afraid for not just my safety, but the safety of my friends and coven, I have no other choice but to make a deal with a devil. A little drastic? Maybe, but it’s certainly effective. At least it would be–if the devil would agree to make a deal with me! Now I have a devil in my apartment and no idea what to do about the le Fays. I just want them to leave me alone… or maybe I want them afraid of me. Fear is one hell of a motivator. But no amount of fear will get this devil of mine to behave. He’s much more partial to exchanges, my body for his benevolence. Nothing good can come from feelings, especially when he insists he has none. |

Teeth and Tarot by A.A. Fairview "It's not my fault, I tell myself. Daily affirmation. Unfortunately." I fled the comforts of my wealthy, witch family a decade ago.

But I find myself drawn to this stud, this guy at my local coffee spot, who just feels too good to be true. But a one-night stand can't hurt. Right? Like a curse I can't escape, I'm back in the world I fought so hard to leave. Witches, gangs, and werewolves abound. Nevermind that stud went and got himself bitten by a werewolf. I'm bad at letting go, at just forgetting. I don't want to forget this guy... Even if that puts us both in danger. |

Drago Incendium by D. L. Lewellyn "Whoever said destinies are easy?" – Milani Kekoa Selena Aires The peaceful artist life I was going for is getting seriously derailed. Sure. I found my dream cottage nestled against forest trails; plenty of ways to teach art, and endless inspiration. The most inspiring? A six-and-a-half-foot blond Adonis whose kisses and primal growls make my toes curl. But the world he's from includes powerful enemies. It's a good thing Thomas spent a decade training me as a street fighter. Andras is away when the enemy comes to town, and my skills are put to the test. Then, a dark-haired, blue-eyed stranger shows up and scares the crap out of our attackers before deciding that taking me with him is the best way to keep me safe. Andras Johns My job as an alpha is to keep my pack safe. That's never been an issue until I mate with a human marked for an epic destiny. Everything I know is being tested and that's because I've never had to make decisions involving the very core of my primal being. But Selena is worth every contest fate throws our way. I just need to find out what my bear will do when the contest involves a rival alpha who wants her as much as I do… because it looks like we'll need to team up to deal with a resurging conflict barreling Selena's way. ~~~ In this second installment, Selena's artist life gets further derailed when she's embroiled in the world of the supernatural. But when this kickass warrior becomes the target of a prince so old he can tell you the real story of Gilgamesh, she embraces her goddess-bestowed instincts, her fighting skills, and learns everything she can from the two hotter than hot rival alphas who each want to claim her heart. *This is not a standalone.* Book One, Ursus Borealis, is the beginning of Selena's journey. The epic conclusion comes together in Book Three, Tigris Vetus. Review for Dragon Incendium: I was up to 1 am last night to finish Drago Incendium. And I LOVED it! It was unbelievably exciting, sexy and ingenious! I am fascinated and impressed by how the author develops the different scenarios, relationships, and supernatural aspects that make the story so engrossing. Also her ability to create scenes that leave us with questions and wanting us to know more…wanting answers! Not to mention the fascinating new characters that are introduced in this book! I’m in love with Elliot… and beguiled by Mortas… but I won’t say anymore! Kudos to the author! And thank you for a fabulous read! ~ A Forehand, USA |

Ursus Borealis by D. L. Lewellyn Bears are supposed to live in the woods. Just not one who sends you to the moon. Selena Aires I promised my friend on his deathbed that I would find the place I was destined for. Neither of us had a clue what that meant, but searching for it after he's gone helps me cope with my grief, and I pack up my art supplies and hit the highway. When I stop for gas in Quincy, Thomas is waiting for me—in spirit. So, I stay—and find my dream cottage with a studio and hiking trails out the back door, and a quaint old tavern called the Starlight with a cozy booth in the corner. I set out my sketchbook and pencils and get busy drawing faces—my way of getting to know people while I enjoy a beer. It works. I'm making friends and filling my journal with the kind of diverse characters typical of a crossroads pub. But diversity doesn't explain why the people coming to life on my pages are the stuff of fairytales. The most fascinating is Andras Johns, and I'm wondering more often whether the towering man who sets me on fire with one look is the prince in the story or the beast lurking in the woods. Andras Johns I've been the alpha of the North Star Pack for a long time. My policy? Never mix it up with a human. I can't stand the idea of exposing a vulnerable species to the hazards of my job, and the hazards recently ramped up. But there's a new face in town. A beautiful, human face. The first time Selena Aires gives me her smile, I smile back. It's a mistake—and I know I'm done for, which is a problem because an alpha can't break his own rules. ~~~ Meet a giant, smoking-hot cinnamon roll hero and a diminutive loveable kickass heroine in this paranormal romance with heart, medium spice, and a little bit of danger. *This is not a standalone.* The hazards and thrills ramp up in Book Two, Drago Incendium and conclude in Book Three, Tigris Vetus. Recent Review for Ursus Borealis: This book is so good. The writing is unbelievable. It’s a slow build up to a crescendo of action. I love shifter books and this one is over the top. Can’t wait to get to the next book to find out what happens to Selena and Andras and the rest of the shifters. What fate awaits them. ~ CJ, USA |
