Stephanie Rowe – Primal Heat Trilogy Reading Order

April 22, 2012 By Maryse 2 Comments

As recommended by Susan (and she’s has certainly sparked my interest!!)

“I have so many suggestions but I will start with just one for now. Stephanie rowe’s Primal Heat Trilogy. There are currently two books out… They are along the same lines as BDB, but with a different paranormal twist. You will love these books and the uber alpha males in them. All I can say is WOW!!!! I would love to see your review of these.”

About the series:

The Calydons are a race of ancient immortals cursed with a dark side. Each Calydon is destined to meet his soul mate, to be so drawn to her that he is unable to resist bonding with her through the rituals of his race, but their destiny is to destroy each other and all they care about the moment their bond is complete. read more

Book Review – Seithe by Poppet

April 21, 2012 By Maryse 7 Comments

Seithe and Phoebe (Neuripra Book 1)
I happened upon this one on my latest “freebie list”, when a few fellow readers pointed it out, and I’m so happy they did. It turned out to be a non-stop read for me, with lots of emotional upheaval in all sorts of good and bad ways. The author wrote the main character’s perspective and thought processes so well, that I too, had all of the adrenaline rushes, experienced the same confusion and doubts, and felt her parallel feelings of immense attraction to, and desperate fear of the one that calls himself “Seithe”. read more

E.L. James Fifty Shades of Grey Interview on Tonight’s 20/20 Episode

April 20, 2012 By Maryse 4 Comments

Just watched the 20/20 segment with E.L. James. WOW!! She is selling a book a second… *phew* boggles the brain. How awesome!! Congratulations E.L.!! Christian is winning the world over!!

So what’d you guys think? If you missed it, I will link to it once it appears on Youtube. Definitely worth the watch. Actually, the whole show has a little “sexual intrigue” going on, I guess to go with the “Fifty Shades” theme.

For those of you who haven’t read it yet, and are curious, here is the E.L. James – Fifty Shades Trilogy Reading Order. It’s completely addictive, so much fun, and will leave you breathless! Check out my review of the first book, and you’ll see what I mean. 🙂 read more

“I found a free book on Amazon written by Poppet called Seithe. I think you will like it. I thought it was pretty interesting. Its paranormal with Fallen Angels. I really enjoyed it. Hope you get a chance to read it.”

Maryse’s Book Blog: I hear this one is also very “Fifty” like in his demeanor… is it true?

Congratulations on publishing your book! Your book deserves to reach the right readers, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression. But with so many books competing for attention, how can you make yours stand out, attract potential readers, and encourage more people to discover your story? A captivating book trailer can help make that happen. Imagine turning your book into a short, engaging video that brings your story to life, highlights its most intriguing elements, and gives readers a reason to want to know more. A well-crafted book trailer can help increase your book’s visibility, build excitement, and encourage potential readers to explore it further. We help authors create professional book trailers designed to capture attention, generate interest, and connect their stories with the right audience. I’d love to show you a few examples and share how a book trailer could help showcase your book. Would you be open to seeing some examples?
