All it took was one read through of the summary and I was sold. I one clicked. I just wanted to bring this jewel to your attention. I hope you enjoy it. The book is Pathfinder’s Way by T.A.

Jennifer Estep – Crown of Shards Series Reading Order

By 5 Comments

OUR FELLOW HARDCORE FANTASY ROMANCE LOVERS are so into this series!!

Michele G: So, for my fantasy lovers out there, I just finished Kill the Queen by Jennifer Estep. It was soooo good! It’s the first in a new series by her and has a really strong cast of characters. I listened to the audiobook and it was outstanding!

Tessa: Jennifer Estep’s Crown of Shards series? I’m want to say it’s her best series so far, but I’ve only read book one. … so goooooood! …The action is fast-paced. The only slow was waiting for the massacre to start. lol But, all the talk and such beforehand actually matters later, even the minor stuff. I love that nothing was actually wasted. read more

Five Fun Facts about Stacey Marie Brown’s “Descending Into Madness” + a signed book giveaway!!

By 11 Comments

This one was released a couple of weeks ago (in fact, we gave away an ARC!!), and the author is this week’s newsletter sponsor! And to celebrate, she sent over a fun piece about how “Descending Into Madness (Winterland Tale Book 1)” came to be and she’s giving away a signed copy to one lucky commenter here!! 😀 !!!

I’ve always loved the idea of taking fairytales and twisting them, but never really found time or reason with my current series of PNR. So, when I was asked to do Such Violent Delights (Holiday theme), I actually just finished doing Red Riding Hood for Monster’s Ball and decided to do another re-telling instead of trying to do something from my current PNR. I love Alice In Wonderland and decided how cool would it be if it was with holiday characters instead. read more

Book Review – War by Laura Thalassa

War (The Four Horsemen Book 2)

How could I possibly resist a cover like this? And that blurb CINCHED it for me. Reminiscent of one of my original favorites (The Golden Dynasty) – at least by way of Barbarian Warlord making a claim on her – and her not wanting anything to do with him), and I knew it was just what I’ve been looking for!

Maryse: OMG THIS WARRIOR KILLER JUST CALLED HER HIS WIFE AND TAKES HER… eeeeeeep!!! 😲😬 TOTAL BLURB JOLT!! It gave me a KA “Golden Dynasty” feel. 😀 I think I’m going to start it right now. I’m SO in the mood for the whole warrior MINE thing and that cover. *oooooomph* read more

The action is fast-paced. The only slow was waiting for the massacre to start. lol But, all the talk and such beforehand actually matters later, even the minor stuff.
