                                                 Excerpt
An entire entourage, including a few people she didn’t know had joined in her search party, but she could only focus on Shane as he guided her into the driveway and sprinted to her car. 

She barely threw the transmission in park before Shane opened the door and practically got inside with her. Though she wanted to protest, or tell him he was making too big of a thing out of it, her body disobeyed and she wrapped her arms around his neck. This time she denied herself nothing and purposely leaned in and took a big long whiff of his soap. She was done for. “Oh God.” 

“We’re never going to do that to Shane again, are we?” He leaned in and kissed her lightly on the cheek, grazing the corner of her mouth. 

She didn’t realize she’d held her breath until her lungs demanded air and she gasped and grabbed Shane’s leg. When her hand grazed across his jeans, she swore she’d never felt anything quite so supple and pliable, a well-worn fine nap not unlike the most expensive velvet beneath her fingertips. Beneath his jeans she could clearly make out the definition of his toned thigh. The contrast of textures overloaded her senses.  “Did you know the 5 freeway and the Golden State freeway are the same?” 

He chuckled but didn’t move away from her. In fact, his dark blue eyes stared so intently that she studied his arm tattoos. One thing about Shane was that every part of him was interesting to look at. 

“Why were you on the 5?” 

“I was trying to get back from Orange County.” She admitted it like she’d committed a felony, and stared at his forearm. His smooth skin gave him the perfect showcase to display his personal artwork. Without really thinking, she touched his arm and used her nail to trace one of the leafy vines that trailed and curled around his forearm. “I’m sorry, it was for work.” 

“What did you think of it?” 

“I thought it was very repetitive.” She took in a black panther’s paw. The tattoos were all part of him and her mouth dried, causing her voice to sound strained. “Why was Orange County off limits?” Her finger made it around the back of the panther, and then almost as if she awakened from her trance, she stopped. 

Shane put his hand over hers. “Finish.” 

“Why didn’t you want me to go to Orange County?” She looked up at his face, his focus clearly on her hand and she allowed her finger to resume its trek. 

“I didn’t want you to like it there.” 

Her hand made it back to where it started and she shook her head. “Everything there was too much the same.” 

“It’s good to like things that are a little less conventional.” His voice lowered. 

She licked her lips to impart any moisture she could into her arid mouth. With Shane in her car in front of a tattoo shop in downtown Los Angeles, she doubted her problem was being conventional. Her problem was that she didn’t have the data to deal with the unconventional.

Kim McNiel present's Caleb




Kim McNiel is a good ole' country girl at heart. She was born and raised in a small Texas town called Spring. As the mother of three, she spent most of her adult life dedicated to raising her family. With her children almost grown, she decided to fulfill her dream of writing. Her best friend, told her 'pen to paper sweetie, never give up, and never let anyone tell you that you CAN'T--" she heeded his advice and didn't. She writes contemporary and steamy romance and several memoir pieces on the back burner.


 
Caleb loves the ladies and can’t keep his ego in his pants. With a new set of legs to wrap around him every two nights, he never thinks about what he’d do if Sarah caught him - until she does.


The repercussions are cataclysmic, giving him a second chance at life. Who is Caleb really? The ego or the man he professes to be? This playa plays to win.


http://www.amazon.com/Caleb-ebook/dp/B00C4V2AQK/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_t_1_5NNM


For those of you looking for a little teaser for this new release from Hot Ink Press...

Stopping at the florist on the way home, I pull in and pick up a dozen pink roses for Sarah. Yes, sucking ass big time.

Hey, if it works…then I’ll be all good. When I’m good, everyone is good. God forbid I get red roses, she’d want to run off to the fucking chapel. That isn’t going to happen to me, not in this lifetime anyways. I stroll in the house.

"I’m home babe," I yell out, dropping the folder on the table.

"Upstairs," Sarah yells back. I know this tone.

Skipping two steps at a time, I follow the circular staircase. I dodge the hanging chandelier with my head. Something else she had to have, forgetting I am well over six fucking feet tall.

"Hi darling, these are for you," I hand her the flowers.

"Why? Because you slammed the phone down in my ear earlier?"

And…here we go! She’s such a bitchacoholic.

My review... 5 Hot Stars.. *****

Caleb is a smooth talking hottie.. you will hate him, but get sucked into his charming ways.. Living with the woman who loves him and does everything for him, from being the perfect trophy to supporting his business. He changes woman like night turns to day you know it's going to happen and you just can't help but be pulled along. His lies build, his buddies back him up, until his world comes to a screeching hault.

The sex is steamy, the man is so bad you will hate to love him. The ending will leave you twisted and tied in knots. Great Read..Hate the player not the game,, right? We shall see..
Definate must read..

It's Friday.. how about a review???

This review is for the third book in the Pravus series by Poppet.. I am so in love with these books.. I purchased this series in paperback even after I read the kindle versions.. just because I can..


Blurb: 

Betrayal catapults Zaria back into Zauran's life. Božena is a poisoned thorn in Zaria's side and her world comes crashing down as violence, betrayal, kidnapping and death threaten to rip her from love.

A king's key is the only bridge between Zaria and happiness, and only Jowendrhan and Sveta know the secrets unraveling Belgrade. An ancient book blocks Zaria from knowing true light when she needs it most.

The neuri world reels as the king returns and complicates all their lives, and the Slakax are revealed, endangered, and hunted.

This is book 3 in the Pravus series of paranormal romance

My Review:

Zaria has been incontent in her relationship with her Redemmed Vampyre for a while. Finding him kissing a woman who looks just like her is the last straw. She flees to the only safe place her heart knows, Zauran.
Zauran has loved Zaria since he first laid eyes on her and promises to always be her safe place no matter what she needs.
But the king of the Neuri's is back in town. Just when Zaria and Zauran have found the love of the heart and souls desire, turmoil and broken rules threaten to tear them apart. The war between Vampyre and Neuri is centuries long. Can their love stand the trials they are about to be put through.
Poppet takes you on an explosive adventure of soul searching emotions. You will meet the king of the Neuri. There will be blood. There will be rules broken which were meant to protect humanity. There will be the discovery of a long thought lost race of pure light.
This is a book you will not put down. On the edge of your seat you will be in for an emotions ride so deep you will feel the tears and fears of these characters. You will be left wanting more.
I loved this book and can't wait for SVETE the first in the Neuri series

Poppet is one of my all time favortie authors. She has a writing style that is riveld by no one out there past or present. Her ability to weave a world of magic within reality is beyond any expectations. This is an author you will not want to miss out on.
