Music Monday – Waiting

It’s #MusicMonday and I’ve got ‘Waiting’ by Steele, which is a perfect song because I’ve been in full blown chaos mode for over a week now. Working on release stuff for Imperfect Monster, in panic mode trying to finish it (haha!), while also planning and working on the Roulette Redux release in February! #cackles Not to mention the new job and life in general being psycho… that’s why this song is just lovely to listen to. Her voice is beautiful, it’s smooth and soft, and and I just love how it lowers my blood pressure. **DEEP BREATHS EVERYONE** We’re going to survive the week.

Lyrics

You know, I know things are not the same.
I tried to forgive you,
but then you do it all again.
And you know that I can force you to stop,
when I started.
Neither can I push my way into your heart,
but I’ll be waiting,
for the time,
for the time when you’ll be all and nothing,
but mine.
Yeah I’ll be waiting,
for the time,
for the time when you’ll be all and nothing,
but mine.
Ooh…

I don’t feel comfortable in my skin now.
You tried to tell the truth,
but I am still lost somehow.
And you know that I can feel it,
it shows, I’m sure,
but you don’t love me like you did anymore.
But I’ll be waiting
for the time,
for the time when you’ll be all and nothing,
but mine.
Yeah I’ll be waiting
for the time,
for the time when you’ll be all and nothing,
but mine.
Ooh…

You know that I know things are not the same.
I try to make it right, but I am getting all the blame.
Umm, umm, aah…
But I’ll be waiting
for the time,
for the time when you’ll be all and nothing,
but mine.
Yeah I’ll be waiting
for the time,
for the time when you’ll be all and nothing,
but mine.
Ooh…

‘Waiting’ by Steele

‘Imperfect Monster’ releases January 20th! Pre-order this new dark romance now!

Hey there, lovelies!

Look at that, it’s a new year already! I have no idea how that happened, but 2018 is positively glittering with potential, and no matter what else is going on in your life I can promise you a year filled with some stellar releases. I’ve declared this “the year of HOT dark romance” for me, and I’ve committed to making this year my complete bitch. Starting right fucking now!

If you snagged a copy of the Hero Undercover boxset in 2017 you’ve already met Andre and Nicky in the novella ‘Monster’, but their story stopped short, and I’m here to tell you that it was most definitely not over! I knew I wanted to continue their intense, dark romance in a full-length and I’m so excited to be bringing it to you on JANUARY 20TH!

This new release is called ‘Imperfect Monster’ and while I have edited the original story a bit, I mostly spent the last month working my ass off to add a TON more to give you a full-length, standalone, thrilling, dark romance that will most definitely keep you up all night to find out what happens to them as you discover how these two get their HEA… because you know I like to make them work for it. ????

Check out the blurb below, and then pre-order while it’s only $2.99! Then enter the contest to win a signed paperback and a Kindle Fire! INTERNATIONAL ELIGIBLE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Cold, ruthless, vicious.

I’m Paulo García’s monster, and I’d swallowed that bitter pill whole, learned to deal with it… until she stormed into the house like some avenging Valkyrie.

Brave, stupid, beautiful.

Nicky just wants to save her brother. She showed up with an envelope full of cash and a smart mouth and found herself in a den of monsters. I wish I could say I was the best of them, I wish I could say I wanted to protect her — but I’m far from perfect and she’s so damn sweet.And all I want is a taste before this world destroys her.

So, that means a giveaway. INTERNATIONAL ELIGIBLE BECAUSE I LOVE YOU NO MATTER YOUR CONTINENT!

Music Monday – Strange Enough

It’s #MusicMonday and the first day of the New Year! I hope that you’ve looked back on all your wins, and challenges, from 2017 and that you’re not looking forward to 2018 with hopes and goals. I know that I am, lovelies! Today’s song is ‘Strange Enough’ by VÉRITÉ, and I think it’s a great song to kick off the year. The lyrics are amazing as always (how can you not love the lines ‘Slow down, pick up the pieces I’ve found. We’re living our lives half asleep.’ ????) Seriously, it’s a wonderful song, her voice is beautiful, the rhythm is on point, and I think it’s a great song to kick off 2018 with! Enjoy!

Lyrics

Cause I- I- I wanna fall,
but every time you leave me down on the floor.
Memories keep rushing round,
cause nothing ever stays the same.

Cause maybe I’m just addicted to
the things I lack, and the way you move.
In circles run, round a figure eight,
always running off meeting up in the same place.
Slow down,
pick up the pieces I’ve found.
We’re living our lives half asleep,
living our lives half asleep.

Cause I- I- I wanna go
where everything’s the sa-a-a-ame.
Memories keep rushing round
and all we ever do is change.
Cause I- I- I wanna fall,
but every time you leave me down on the floor.
Picturing the ways we move,
cause nothing ever stays the same.

Oh, oh, oh, ohhh…

Separate a fragile spine.
A hollow hope,
just to make things right.
I’ve been picking up pieces slowly,
and wondering why you hold me.
Take me back to the way it was before!

Cause I- I- I wanna go
where everything’s the sa-a-a-ame.
Memories keep rushing round
and all we ever do is change.
Cause I- I- I wanna fall,
but every time you leave me down on the floor.
Picturing the ways we move,
cause nothing ever stays the same.

Strange enough, I don’t love you like you want me to.
Strange enough, I don’t love you like you want me to.

Strange enough, I don’t love you like you want me to.
Strange enough, I don’t love you like you want me-
like you want.

‘Strange Enough’ by VÉRITÉ

Teaser Sunday! ‘Strangeways’ by Addison Cain in the Alien Alphas boxset!

Did you really think I’d wrap up this spectacular week of Alien Alphas teasers on #TeaserSunday without gracing you with a sneak peek of Addison Cain’s upcoming release ‘Strangeways’? I have to tell you, this story is an amazing example of Addison’s ability to flex between styles and genres with perfect ease.

I feel so lucky to have this lady as a friend, because she always lets me read through her stories and I get gleeful every time! I hope you feel the same way, lovelies!

Strangeways by Addison Cain

Their invasion of our world was nonviolent, seamless. But they have come to conquer and take who they will. We don’t have a choice. They can make us like it. They can make us desire them. They can make us do anything they want.

Teaser

The first time he’d screwed me, he’d marched me through my door by the elbow. Dirty uniform aprons littering the floor had been ignored, the pair of us walking over abandoned pizza boxes and fast food wrappers. Once at my lumpy bed, he’d bent me forward, ass up, still clothed.

He’d told me to stay.

I’d never had a man talk to me like that… or flip up my skirt, pull my panties down, and inspect me. And that’s exactly what he’d done. Kneeling, he’d leaned up close, tracing his fingers down the shape of my labia. He’d spread them apart to look deeper, and… I should have been mortified.

It’s not like I had expected a tryst. Heck, I was sweaty after the morning shift and wearing an old pair of panties.

It didn’t matter. Phi had complimented my scent, shape, and even posture profusely.

And then he had thrust in, right there, just like that. Both of us dressed, my cheek to the mattress. Hell, I still had my shoes on.

And I… I had liked it.

It wasn’t until my first orgasm that he’d altered position, undressing us both, and laying me back to take me face to face like a lover.

That was the first time I’d seen his unclothed body… and the part of him he’d put inside me.

Absently as he’d slipped it back in, I’d wondered if they always started fucking an earth woman from behind… so we might know how good that thing could feel and not scream when it waved our way.

And it had felt good. Better than good.

No one in my past had ever gotten me so worked up. Maybe it was the fact Phi’s genitals could change shape. Maybe it was the ring of short waving tentacle-like protrusions around it that stimulated clitoris, labia… anus.

Maybe it was that he knew how to fuck.

Earth men were terribly lazy in bed.

He’d thrust in, and noises I’d never made squeaked out unbidden. Those little fingers around his cock, they teased and stroked, as if he could control each one of them no matter the pace. Two of those tentacles had rolled my clit between their slippery, grasping tips. Legs trembling uncontrollably, I’d come… gasping.

* * *

Interested? I can tell you, I definitely was, and the story only gets more fascinating and twisted from here. Addison somehow wraps an entire new world up in such a short, concise package, but as always she ropes you in and doesn’t let go. Also, it’s fucking hot, no matter how guilty you feel reading it! Alien Alphas is still up to pre-order for only 99¢ and then it goes live on January 16th!

Swallowed by Darkness by Myra Danvers

Imprisoned. Starved. Weak. He’s a warrior caged in the armpit of the universe, a man of worth who owns nothing but his pride and a thirst for vengeance. So why had they sent her? A human. A pathetic, fragile creature full of madness and lies, burdened with an impossible ultimatum—contend with a monster, or die.

* * *

Teaser

“Stop me,” she whispered, spreading her fingers over the heart pounding beneath her palm. “You reject my touch, but make no effort to end it.”

A growl rattled through his chest, eyes blazing from within.

“You can break me without trying,” she continued, letting her right hand skate lower, tracing the lines and ridges. Making dips and valleys jump beneath her touch. “It would be nothing to do so, but you’ve never felt a hand as soft as mine. Have you?”

The growl deepened, rattle becoming more pronounced. A dire warning ignored.

“Tell me what you want,” she breathed, wetting dry lips. Mere millimeters from tasting the forbidden. From touching it.

“This—” he swallowed, shaking his head with teeth bared. “You are obscene.”

“Mhm. An abomination. Absolutely repulsive.” She grinned into that scarlet gaze, arching to close the gap. Pointed nipples brushed his chest, lips finding his as her fingers found their prize. “And so fucking wet.”

His breath hissed between clenched teeth, hips bucking as he filled her lungs and palm with heat. With a ragged curse, he released her. Abandoning his hold on wrist and throat. “On your knees,” he snarled, chains rattling at his side.

Mouth watering, the human obeyed, circling thumb and forefinger. The scalpel clattering to the floor, forgotten for the treat throbbing before her. She licked him, root to tip, pumping his girth. Gathering the nirvana beaded at the head of his cock with the flat of her tongue.

His voice splintered on a startled gasp, and he buried thick fingers in her hair. Denying her.

“Please. I just want—”

Their lips met with bruising force as he pressed her back. Lower lip pinched between his teeth. Nails scraping her scalp, he guided her down, laying her flat on something soft.

“Fucking hell,” she rasped, giving the pitifully thin pad beneath her an exploratory wiggle. “Is this a mattress?”

He exhaled, red gaze following jiggling flesh. “What?”

“You’ve got to be kidding me! All this time you’re over here living the high life with a mattress? Why didn’t you say anything?”

For a moment, he didn’t respond. Simply hovered, braced on his knees, breath hot and damp against her lips. “It’s… woefully inadequate. Even for a measly class six.”

“I’ll take your word for it.”

With a snort, he silenced her. Lips and tongue exploring. The heavy length of his cock throbbing above her mound.

“Please,” the human groaned, parting her knees. Reveling in Felidae heat, inside and out. “I… I need it.”

Teeth flashing, he pinned her throat, dousing the spider’s light beneath his palm. Blinding her, without threatening her airway. He spread her, then. Lifting her hips. Settling her lower back on his thighs, legs and pussy splayed. Lewd. Utterly vulnerable to his attention. Though when he sent fingers gliding through slick folds, it was his breath ragged against her lips.

“There,” she gasped, bucking when he found her clit. “Right there, ugh. Please.”

His chest rumbled, and, thumb circling, he set the blunt head of his dick to weeping cunt. Soaking himself in human pussy. Redoubling his attention on her neglected little nub when she arched, her hips twitching and bucking of their own accord. Clasping at his tip. Desperate to pull him in.

“Oh fuck. Oh god—please, please don’t stop. Don’t stop. I’m—” Muscles seizing, the human flinched, gushing. Riding what little he’d give her as she came hard and fast with his hand about her throat.

“Good girl,” he purred, and shifted, allowing her to see once more. To watch as he rode her through climax, fucking her with tiny, rocking thrusts. “Again.”

She shook her head, as of yet unable to form words.

Teeth bared in the dark, he grinned. “Again.”

Ahem… I… I just need a minute to compose myself. *deep breaths* Holy shit, it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve read this sinfully twisted and hot story, that scene still melts the flesh from my bones!

Want more of Myra Danvers?

Raised by her awesome parents in Canada’s snowy north, Myra learned perseverance from an early age. She learned to speak in third person, via extensive reading as a child, because… well… Northern Canada gets a LOT of snow. And when one isn’t snowboarding, building quinzees, or waking up to teddy bears frozen to the floor, one tends to read about places that are warm—even if being cold is preferable to being hot, every-damn-time.

All that reading gave Myra the gypsy bug. So, after college, (where she majored in professional gypsying) she moved to a ski resort in British Colombia to be a ski bum and chase the winter, because the cold was in her bones and it never bothered her anyway. (Points because Elsa of Frozen is her spirit animal?)

But then life caught up with her, as it does, and now she’s stuffed full of enough life experience to write until transcendence (where she will be first in line to get a sweet android body and travel the universe until the end of time). So that’s what she does, when she’s not listening to the voices or taking apart the electronics just to see their insides.
