Deena Remiel's The Book Waitress Virtual Tour - Guest Post and Giveaway


United By Books is welcoming back Deena Remiel in all her glory with her latest book you will want to get your hands on. It may not be her sexy angels but it should definitely go on your TBR list. I love Deena and all she writes. Now I will let her take over the blog ..............


How May I Serve You? The Making of TheBook Waitress …


It seems this book was twenty-eight years in the making. It was that many years ago that I stepped foot in my university library and began working as a book waitress. Yes, I am the original. I equated my role in the Periodicals Department to that of a waitress because I took patrons’ orders, delivered their books, and put them back on the shelves when they were through being of use. Put books and waitressing together and… Well, you get the picture.

Fast forward to the present, add an overactive imagination that has been fueled by Buffy, Angel, The Librarian, and Temperance Brennan from Bones, and you get the quirky, darkly intense novella series, The Book Waitress. Through this series, I have exercised my wicked bone, as well as created a couple who, although social misfits, are really quite the beautiful people. So beautiful, in fact, I have a major hero crush on Derek. If you go on The Book Waitress fan page, you’ll see who I envision as Derek. And you’ll drool right along with me. Haha!

Derek is so doggone sexy, I can’t stand it! And what makes him so sexy is he doesn’t even know it. As a child, he was fostered and then adopted by a loving, hippie couple. His looks are that of a man who enjoys the outdoors and all the activities that go along with it. But, alas, he has fair skin, so the healthy tan doesn’t stay long. His eternally rumpled, sun-bleached hair just begs to have fingers run through it.

Camille has the sexiest curls in town. Her long blonde hair always fights to be free from the chignon she wears to work at the library, while her hourglass figure leaves Derek stumbling over his words and putting his foot in his mouth. His swoony look, in turn, has her spewing random facts to control raging lust.

This couple lives the fantasy I’d had while working in the library. A mutual attraction grows between librarian and patron. Infatuation grows into something more over slips of paper passed between them. Circumstance brings them even closer together. Now this is a novella, and it’s part of a large series, so expect romantic relationships to grow organically and not be rushed. It’s a slow burn that will smolder and catch fire in due course. Enjoy the sexual tension, the release will be so sweet!

I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into the making of The Book Waitress series. Thanks goes to Lindsey for asking me to talk about it!

Hugs,
Deena


The Book Waitress

Camille Dutton learned early in life Satan was not to be trifled with. Escaping his evil clutches as a child, he’s come back with a vengeance for her now.
Derek Galloway’s inquisitive nature has led him to be an award-winning investigative reporter and straight into the path of pure evil.
When a child vanishes from a sleepy island town, Camille, its subdued librarian, becomes embroiled in Derek’s investigation.A satanic cult has plans for the child, while Satan has plans for Camille and the rest of the world. Amidst evil of the most supernatural and human kind, Derek and Camille find a shred of light and goodness in the form of their budding relationship.
First in the Book Waitress Series, the portal between Hell and Earth will be torn asunder, and it will take everything Camille and Derek have and then some to close it. Satan won’t go down easy, but nothing worth everything ever comes without a price.

Where to purchase The Book Waitress



********* EXCERPT *********

  “Watch your step there, young lady.” A deep, raspy voice broke through Camille Dutton’s frantic mind. “Just up those stairs to the upper deck. It’ll be about eight minutes to the island once we shove off. Enjoy your trip.”
“Thank you.” Eight minutes? It might as well be eight years!Ignoring the nausea threatening to erupt and drown the ferry before it even left the dock, she smiled graciously. The weather-beaten gentleman, the deckhand, she supposed, nodded at her with a crinkled smile and ushered the next person onboard. With every step she climbed up the steep metal stairs, she repeated a mantra to soothe unsettled nerves. 
It’s not forever. It’s not forever. Finding an opening at the bow of the ferry, she took up temporary residence against the railing, and dropped the heavily laden backpack from her shoulder to the deck. The churning clouds mirrored her dark mood and hovered dangerously low over the expanse of water. Eight minutes of deep, dark wetness would now separate her from the life Camille had known for twenty-four years. She’d never been further than eighty miles from her home. She didn’t need to travel far; not when she had thousands of books at her disposal to take her wherever she wanted to go.  
Her involuntary transfer to the Shelter Island Library, or forced exile as she preferred to call it, would last only as long as it took to find a permanent librarian. Her boss had promised, and she vowed to hold him to it. With her parents’ recently passed, she longed to stay in the house where they’d infused her life with cherished moments. This upheaval at work made their absence all the more painful to bear.
Shelter Island seemed the antithesis of its name. Camille had been lovingly sheltered by her parents and insulated within the comforting walls of her town’s library. She’d read all of the books repeatedly, from cover to cover. Going to this unknown town, living in a strange home, and working at an unfamiliar library left her feeling exposed to more than just the elements. It invited all manner of creature born to lay siege on her well-constructed fortress of solitude.
The ferry’s whistle blew as its engines kicked on and thrust the boat into the Sound. She gasped and closed her eyes, pressing fingers against the cold steel that kept her from jumping ship. A gusty breeze whipped her ponytail into a frenzy of curls that slapped at her neck and cheeks. Eyes smarted and watered as a rush of air assaulted her face. She couldn’t bear to watch as her life receded into the horizon. Looking forward was just as painful, and she pondered what lay ahead.

Review for Bound by Decency (The Flying Gang Legacy # 1) Claire Ashgrove

Title: Bound By Decency ( The Flying Gang Legacy # 1)
Author: Claire Ashgrove

Description: Once, Cain sailed with the cutthroats of The Flying Gang, fearless Captain of The Kraken, bound to no one save the sea. After inheriting a portion of Spain’s Royal Inheritance, he resigned the life of brigands for a chance at honest wealth. With the secrets of his piracy tucked away, he achieved his lofty aspirations. But when his partner and best friend betrays him to the Royal Navy, Cain’s dreams are ripped to shreds. He’s left with his ship, the tattered remnants of a stolen future, and a piece of Spanish mystery. Wanted by three nations and destined for the gallows, he returns to the legendary band of buccaneers for one purpose---vengeance.

Kidnapped by the formidable Cain, India Prescott discovers he intends to kill the man she’s to marry, Richard Grey. Cain’s story reveals betrayal. Treachery that extends to her as well. Although she holds the key to retribution, India refuses to become another man’s pawn. Freedom lies before her, the liberty to shrug off propriety, make her own decisions, and claim her destiny. But when she uncovers goodness in Cain’s soul and he awakens passion in her heart, she must combat the chains of convention once more.

Only this time India's not fighting society. She’s battling a pirate bent on keeping her decency intact.

My Thoughts: Teddy, better known as Cain, one of the most fearsome pirates on the sea, has tried to put that life behind him in exchange for one of decency. Only that didn't quite happen. He refused to be part of something he didn't believe in and as a result one of the people he thought was close to him revealed his true identity. Upon escape Cain kidnaps India, believing she could lead him to the one who betrayed him. What he didn't expect was how one look and touch from her could heat his body and make him wish he could be the man she deserves. 

India would not betray her betrothed, even if she doesn't like him. Never great at sea, she becomes ill and Cain demonstrates some decency which makes her see him in a different light. Doesn't hurt that he warms her body and makes her ache for his touch. India thought for sure amongst a bunch of pirates she should be scared, but instead she feels free and like she can be herself. As her feelings grow, she knows she will do anything to prove his innocence, even if he thinks it will never happen.

Wow where do I begin.... I hesitated to read this because it is a long book and I feared I would not like it. I never read a pirate book. Then I started and I did not want to put it down. The book held me in it's grasp as Ashgrove captures the readers attention with sexy pirates and a tale of betrayal, trust, passion, romance and adventures across the sea. I was so enthralled with India and her strong will, not to mention her sass and impishness . As well as Cain’s inner struggle with the villain people think he is to the gentleman he wants to be with a pirate’s edge. 

Ashgrove not only has your attention glued to the main characters, but I loved the background characters as well. You got a feel for them and wanted to see more of them. I will say she teased us, building up our intense feelings along with Cain and India. You just couldn't help, but root for their love. This couple was perfectly matched, driving me to the edge with the building passion. Cain battling while India decided to take things into her own hands and makes it happen drove me crazy in a good way. When they finally come together, it was explosive and you could let out that sigh of relief you had been holding for pages. 

Another character I loved in this book was Drake I'm so happy to see Ashgrove is making this a series. Drake’s meddling personality and mischievous ways made me fall for him and I hope to see him again. Ashgrove has created a definite “worth the read” with this book. I'm betting it will be the same with others in this series, where the leading ladies are just as fierce as their swoon-worthy pirates. I am already looking forward to the next. Are you ready to be bound to the sea and ride the waves?

Review for Howl For It by Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden

Title: Howl For It
Authors: Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden

Description: They hunger for your pleasure. They growl for your touch. And in these sizzling stories by New York Times bestselling author Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden, these sexy wolf shapeshifters are lust at first bite. . .

"Like A Wolf With A Bone" by Shelly Laurenston
Quiet little Darla Lewis couldn't be happier when the most-feared member of the South's rowdiest pack kidnaps her. A girl gets real tired of being overprotected by her own shifter family, and there's nothing like an oh-so-big bad wolf to start a pack feud, unleash her instincts--and have her surrender however and whenever she wants. . .

"Wed Or Dead" by Cynthia Eden
Gage Ryder knew his human bride had a wild side. But spending their honeymoon night on the run from hunters out to finish him and his pack is sure not the kind of fun he was looking forward to. No problem--Gage will do whatever it takes to lay bare Kayla's secrets and find the truth. If he can keep from being captured by his own seductive game. . .

My Thoughts: Let's start with "Like A Wolf With A Bone" by Shelly Laurenston. Egbert Smith, better known as Eggie, is sent on leave since all the shifters in his platoon are on edge around him after recent incidents. Not wanting to, but with no choice, he heads home. Darla May is also sent on vacation from her job, even though she doesn't want to be and doesn’t know why, and heads home. While waiting for his brothers as they argued with their wives, who happen to be Darla's sisters, he catches site of Darla. In his eyes, she is the prettiest, ok most beautiful, she-wolf he has ever seen. Darla wanders off and next thing you know she is in a life or death situation. Eggie, being the lethal marine he is, comes to her rescue. From there, Eggie brings Darla back with him and will do anything to protect her. Plus she seems to be the only one who can calm him and she isn't scared of him like most everyone around him, including his family. Darla has stirrings of her own and a protective side to match where Eggie is concerned. She won't let anyone speak a bad thing against him.

I loved this story. I've been a Shelly Laurenston fan since I got into paranormal romance. Eggie is your classic alpha, but is more of a loner in a way. When he is with Darla is the only time you see the other side to Eggie, the side one would never know about under the  lethal killing machine. Darla was always thought of as fragile, but she turns out to be this big bad wolf. Darla May is sweet and her personality is addicting. There was never a dull moment in this story. You got the full Laurenston hillbilly southern sense of humor that will have you laughing your tail off, literally. It also has some steamy scenes and will have you cheering this couple on the whole story.  
 
Next is "Wed or Dead", where Kayla’s mission is to get close to Gage at any cost. Gage just happens to be a wolf shifter and Kayla isn't a big fan of wolf shifters after an incident when she was younger. As a matter if fact, she has made it her mission to kill any supernatural being that harms people. Gage wants Kayla to be his and after getting her down the aisle to say "I do" she is, though she is in for a rude awakening and it’s not going to come from the man married. The man whom she is supposed to hate, but instead lusts after.
 
I will honestly say I love Cynthia Eden's books. I was a bit nervous on how, after having a rip-roaring not wanting it to end time with Laurenston's story, if Cynthia's would be just as good. I should have known this duo never fails me. It’s probably why I always buy their joint anthologies.

In “Wed or Dead”, Eden brings steamy hotness to an action filled story. I loved the strong kick ass heroine, who has a vulnerable edge, but still goes after what she lusts, loves and feels is right. Gage is just one sexy beast and the two of them together are combustible at times. I wasn't expecting the betrayal in one part of it, so I admit I gasped and had a little  inner outrage on behalf of the leading lady.
 
I loved both stories quite a bit. You can never go wrong with a book containing these two amazing authors. Both bring different things to the table and are both equally worth devouring. In my eyes, this is definitely worth a read.

Review for Fear The Darkness by Alexandra Ivy

Title: Fear the Darkness
Author: Alexandra Ivy

Description: The Guardians of Eternity are embroiled in an epic battle for survival. They are as dangerous as they are sensual—and their lustful appetites are legendary...

Her Visions Lead Her To Danger

Beautiful Cassandra is a Were, a prophet both vulnerable and defiant, blessed with visions that portend the fate of the world. A rare and delicate creature, Cassie must be protected at all costs. Enter Caine, a powerful cur turned pureblooded Were whose recent tangles with a demon lord have left him in serious need of redemption. Caine is duty-bound to keep Cassie out of danger—and that means resisting his potent urge to seduce her.

And Only He Can Save Her

As Cassie's mysterious visions lead them in and out of danger, Caine believes he has found his true mate, the woman with whom he is bound for all eternity. Cassie is both charmed and frightened by Caine's magnetism, and unsure if he—or her feelings for him—can be trusted. But Cassie can't afford to doubt Cain now. A deadly enemy bent on destruction is closer than they realize—and only they can keep chaos from ruling the world.

My Thoughts: How I love Alexandra Ivy's “Guardians of Eternity” series. This is book 9 in one of my most beloved series to read. If you have not checked out the entire series, you may want to pick it up.

“Fear the Darkness” is Cassie and Caine’s book. Cassie is the prophet, one to be protected above all. She has been a captive of the dark lord until, in an act of unselfishness, Caine, the bad guy cur turned swoon-worthy pureblood Were, gave his life to protect her. This act is how he becomes a pureblood.

After not dying, he does everything he can to protect Cassie while trying to fight the attraction between them. The dark lord will do anything to get out of the trap of the undergrounds and has big plans to succeed. With war a possibility and needing to keep the human race from the knowledge of their existence, the Guardians unite to form a front protecting everyone from Hell on Earth.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved how naïve Cassie teased, never taking herself too seriously, and showed her strength when needed. Caine, was a guy I loved to dislike. In this book, I did a reverse. I found him strong and fiercely protective, yet tender and gentle with Cassie. Theirs is a low simmering passion from the beginning of the book that turns into a few hot flash scenes.

I will say a majority of the story was focused on the dark lord more so than anything. You also get to see quite a bit of your favorite characters from the past, plus get introduced to a new guy. That being said, do I think these things took away from the book? No, not really. I think it's Ivy's master plan to keep us on the edge of our seats. I know I am already anxious for the next installment.

This book was jam packed with romance, (even if it's not as much as normal), action, and some great battles. Ivy has reeled me in, hooking me back into the “Guardians of Eternity” series. I know in the last book I wanted more Levet... some things never change. We got more of that loveable gargoyle and I still wanted even more of him. “Guardians of Eternity” should be read as a series or you may get a bit lost in “Fear the Darkness“, so start at the beginning. Alexandra Ivy has been one of my favorite authors and keeps producing winners in this series.

Book Blast Tour for Sugar Walls by Mysti Holiday with Giveaway



Sugar Walls
by Mysti Holiday

When Emilie is dumped by her boyfriend, best friend Jack Voss offers a shoulder and a place to live--the other side of his duplex. He’s always there, fixing her problems, her car, her sink. Emilie doesn’t know what she’d do without him, or with the feelings she’s having for him. His shoulder doesn’t just offer comfort anymore; his touch is a turn-on. Their shared wall is the only thing keeping them from sharing a bedroom—and fanning the flames might risk breaking something that Jack can’t fix.


********* EXCERPT *********
 
 
A glance back down at the man who was driving her crazy nearly made her moan. He shifted, his ass moved and his thighs flexed as he crawled forward a few inches. The denim of his worn jeans hugged him as tightly as Em dreamed of doing and, before she had time to think about it, she took a step Forward, hands outstretched to snatch hold of the prize. She stopped herself just in time and tucked her hands behind her back to keep from doing something stupid.

“So, Jack?” Her voice was tight with desire and discomfort.

“Hmm?” He peeked at her over one shoulder, a smile in those midnight blue eyes, then quickly returned his attention to the pipe.

“Almost done?” She hoped so, because at this rate, she’d come just from thinking about him.

“Nearly there. Leak’s almost plugged.”

I’ve got a leak you can plug. Her panties soaked with more cream than any one woman should have when she envisioned him plunging into her, filling her pussy with his hard cock. Heat rushed up her neck, and her heart pounded so loudly, surely he could hear it. Dear God. She tried to picture herself in a cold shower to kill some of the heat but cursed again when he joined her there in her mind and slid soapy hands over her damp skin, across her breasts, and down her—

“There.” His voice jolted her out of the hot daydream, and she jumped an inch off the floor. He backed out from the cupboard and turned to smile at her. “All fixed.”


AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Mysti Holiday is the pseudonym of a very busy SAHM who dreams of warm climes and hot bodies.  Most people know she writes, but not what she writes about:  sexy men and the wanton women who love them.
She's married to a wonderful man who happily sacrifices himself for research, and she spends most of her days dreaming of interesting and unusual situations in which to place her characters.  But most of all, she's a sucker for a happy ending.

Review for Seduced by Blood by Laurie London

Title: Seduced by Blood
Author: Laurie London

Description: Deep within the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the battle for supremacy rages on between two vampire coalitions: Guardian enforcers sworn to protect humanity, and Darkbloods, rogues who kill like their ancient ancestors... Hot-blooded and hard-edged, Tristan Santiago has an uncanny ability to see beneath the surface-a power that serves him well as the Guardians' region commander. But when a deadly plot against his fellow vampires is uncovered, he must turn to the one woman he can't read: the beautiful yet mysterious Roxanne Reynolds, whose sensual presence soothes his tormented memories. Roxy had put love before duty once before, with devastating results. But to root out a dangerous traitor in their midst, she must put her faith in Santiago, the one man skilled enough to break through her defenses. Posing as lovers, Santiago and Roxy work side by side-and discover a powerful craving that threatens to consume them both...

My Thoughts: The “Sweetblood Series” returns with a bang. The Sweetblood/ Darkblood battle rages on. In this book, Roxanne Reynolds fills in for one of her previous students and good friend, Lily, so that Lily and Alfonso can go on vacation to celebrate their engagement. On her way up, she encounters a Sweetblood and helps him by taking out the Darkbloods after him, with no weapons none the less. Santiago is impressed with her abilities and feels stirrings of desire, but pushes them out of his head. Santiago is hardcore, hot headed, and a mystery to most, but respected by those he leads. When he says do something, he expects it done no questions asked. Roxy doesn't play by those rules, after all he isn’t her boss, and she has no problem standing up to him.

After a botched mission and some of his people getting injured, they suspect a mole in the Guardians. To suss out the mole, Santiago tells Roxy she is to pose as his girlfriend to help solve this mystery. He doesn’t want to believe a Guardian could really be the mole, but has no other theory as to why the mission went south. At first Roxy said no, but changes her mind because she saw something in Santiago, plus it is a way to further her side investigation, (her past relationship and hopefully closure). What occurs is the pretend relationship winds up being a battle of wits, not to mention sexual tension turning up from so much closeness. You get some deep feelings with some hot sexual encounters as they both strive to battle the demons of their pasts, to heal, and finally move on.

This is the fourth book and in this book we get Santiago's story. I would say it could be read as a stand alone, but it would be enriched more if you read the books leading up to "Seduced by Blood". That way you can get a feel for Santiago in previous books and a deeper understanding of him as a character. I really enjoyed London's newest installment into the Sweetblood world. You have all the things you love such as alpha male, strong heroine, villains you love to hate, mystery and action. Santiago and Roxy give a whole new meaning to "opposites attract". Roxy is a bit of a loner at first. Sweet, tender, and caring, she takes no BS and stands up for what she believes in. Santiago is hotheaded, prone to temper tantrums when things don't go according to plan and tortures himself for what he sees as “failings“.

I loved reading the banter between the two. It was a true battle of wits when they are pretending to be together. The sex scenes are steamy and the tender feelings between the two wrapped this story up with a nice bow, even if they fought them for a while. You also get to see a bit of the villain, Ventra. Now that is one evil, hussy of a vampire with some real sick tendencies. I rooted on the things the Guardians were doing, yet Ventra is written just right that even I going back and forth. Thinking one minute what a sick sucker she is to “Geeze I feel sorry for her past”, then I would remember why I love to hate her and those feelings of empathy would vanish.

London did not disappoint with this installment at all. She gives us sexy males we love to swoon over and want make our own, as well as ladies who are strong with traits we can see in ourselves or aspire to be, except for Ventra not sure anyone would want to be her. The Sweetblood series is never dull or boring. There is always action and you will find yourself cheering until the end. This book leaves us with a promise as to what is next and I can’t wait to see what London has in store for us. As for now, I was definitely “Seduced by Blood” into loving this couple’s installment and will be counting the days until I can get my next Sweetblood fix.... not with fangs or anything... oh you know what I mean.

Review for Seduce ( Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance # 3) by Felicity Heaton

Title: Seduce ( Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance # 3)
Author: Felicity Heaton

Description: Bloodlust runs in his veins, a dark master waiting for the day it will reign over him. Now a woman with a pure soul and wicked intentions has him in her sights and is determined to crack the ice around his heart, and she might save or damn him.

Antoine stands apart from the world around him, a dangerous and broken soul who must maintain rigid control at all times or risk his dark addiction finally seizing hold of him. The shadows of his past haunt him and he sees his bleak future each night when his brother wakes screaming, his blood addiction turning him savage. He cannot allow himself to feel, but when Sera walks into Vampirerotique, the erotic theatre he runs with three other vampires, to audition, she awakens dangerous desires in him—hungers that could spell the end of both of them.

Sera has wanted Antoine since the night she first saw the gorgeous aristocrat vampire. She can’t ignore the deep carnal hunger he stirs in her or the ache to know the heat of his touch. With the help of her sire, an ex-performer at Vampirerotique, she sets in motion a game of seduction, one designed to thaw the ice in Antoine’s veins and make him burn for her.


When Sera discovers the shocking truth about his past and the darkness that lurks within him, will she be strong enough to seize his heart with both hands and win him forever or will she lose him to the ghosts that still haunt him?


My Thoughts: Sera had her eyes set on Antoine from the moment she saw him. Despite being warned off the emotionally aloof vampire, she just couldn't let go of the possibilities and feelings she had for him. So what's a girl to do? Well, seduce him of course, but to do that she has to find a way to get him alone and have his attention focused on her.


Antoine has burned before. He holds himself apart from everyone except his brother, Snow and the few people he considers good friends. Yet while watching Sera perform, and knowing her game, fight as he may he begins to succumb to the feelings she is awakening not only in his body, but in his heart as well.


Welcome back to Book Three in the “Vampire Erotic Theatre” series, where you can't get enough of the sexy owners or the ladies who get under their skin.


I loved Sera. She was determined, yet sweet . She knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to go after it, even though she might get hurt laying herself out there. I respect that in a character and a person. It made her more real in my eyes.


I had no idea there were secrets to Antoine. I always wondered what his story would be, but had no idea what to expect. After all, he is completely gorgeous and fierce. He always held a bit back, but was strong when he needed to be in the previous stories. This book lays it out and soon you will see the other side of him.


The passion is so flaming hot, you will sizzle as each page is turned. Be it rough and wild or tender and sensual, you feel that passion as it builds between them down to your core. You start rooting for more, rooting for Sera and Antoine ,because they steal your heart.


Once again Heaton doesn't fail to make you love “Vampirerotique”. Not only that, but Heaton makes you fall in love with all her characters, main or secondary. Did I mention I love how Snow was present quite a bit in “Seduce”, but still Felicity is only building the fire, teasing us until she is ready to set us ablaze with anticipation for his story. I, for one, am Seduced by this series and eager for more.
