I’ve been a Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputy for four years. Most folks don’t have a clue about what a cop deals with every day. Like a pack of attack chihuahuas, a monkey with a bad case of diarrhea, a hungry python, a Brahma bull named Bodacious and a six-foot iguana.
And that is just the critters. Now let me tell you about the two-legged varmints. Such as a three-hundred-pound biker who got a bit irate when I zapped him with a stun gun, or a murderous nun, and let’s not forget the senior citizens having an orgy. Ugh. My personal life isn’t much better. Off duty I’m a ballroom dancer which everyone makes fun of. At a dance competition Detective Sergeant Dante Delgado waltzed into my life. Law enforcement isn’t for the fainthearted. Are you brave enough to enter my world? |

me a little, to save me from worse, or so he claimed. I responded to him, telling myself I had to, not that he made me hot and wanting. - SNEAK PEEK - All her well-practiced composure deserted her. She jumped and ran. No longer needing to be quiet or reach the top, he circled and caught her before she reached the bottom. One jerk at her wrist and she fell into his arms and against his chest. The smell of his unwashed body overwhelmed her sense of smell, and Annalisa turned her head away from the distasteful odor, pushing at his chest. “You smell,” she exclaimed, in shock that anyone would allow themselves to be so offensive. The force of her pushing against him sent her to the ground when he let go. The jolt of landing sent out a cry of surprise and pain. Indignant, she brushed dirt from her hands, telling him, “Your manners are just as bad.” He dropped to one knee in front of her, and she shrank away from the smell. Her face distorted in disgust, and her attention centered on the small scrape on the palm of her hand. His voice was a deep, rolling rumble. “What are you doing out here?” She looked for and reached for her hat, telling him, “None of your business.” He made her look at him by grabbing her wrist and twisting until she did. Annalisa knew again the fear and feeling of panic that swept over her when she first saw him close. “What are you doing out here?” “You’re hurting me,” she whined, prying at his fingers to loosen them. “Answer me or I’ll hurt you a lot more.” He proved it by increasing the pressure on her wrist. “Now, what the hell are you doing out here?” She answered as fast as she could get the words out. “Taking pictures.” He let go and settled back on his heel to stare at her. “You damned fool.” “I don’t know where you have the right to─” He cut off her indignant reply. “What do you think they’d do to you if they knew you took pictures of them?” “They should think of things like that before they take something that doesn’t belong to them.” He shot to his feet with an explosive exclamation. She lunged to her feet, too, backing away. “There is no need to be profane.” “Stay where you are,” he warned quietly, staring hard at her. She took another step back. “If I have to catch you again, I might hurt you.” “You already have.” Her posterior smarted, but she certainly would not rub it in front of him. “Don’t you have any idea what kind of trouble you’re in?” “I’m not. I didn’t steal a vehicle.” He looked straight at her. “You’re in trouble, lady. I can’t let you go.” “You can’t possibly intend to keep me against my will.” “Yes, I do.” She took one step back, and her hand went to her throat, clutching her shirt tighter to her neck. He laughed at her. “Don’t worry; I don’t go in for that.” She didn’t believe him. She ran again. He caught her in two steps, swinging his arms out and around her waist. She dropped to escape them. He caught her by her wrists, jerked her up, and turned her to face him by forcing her arms to fold behind her. “Let go of me.” “Quit fighting me.” He captured both of her wrists in one of his hands, freeing one of his to grab a handful of her hair. Pulling her head back, arched her back, pressing her hips against him. “Don’t fight me,” he ordered again. She froze, staring up at his face. “I won’t. I swear I won’t. Just let me go.” “I’m not going to rape you, and I won’t hurt you if you quit fighting.” She didn’t believe him. The terrible scar across the lump on his nose, and the gap where teeth were missing told her how violent he was. She wanted away from him, and she couldn’t even pull her hips back from contact. “Take the Toyota,” she told him frantically. “Take the camera. Just let me go.” “Straight to the police−if you made it out of here.” “No, I won’t tell anyone.” “What will dear hubby say when you come home without the Jeep?” “It’s not a Jeep.” “Jeep is close enough and don’t correct anyone else. Now answer my question.” “I’m a widow.” “The kids then?” She arched violently trying to push him away. “I don’t have any children.” she screamed. The sudden violence caught him off guard. She jerked one hand free before he recovered, but he quickly recaptured it. Within seconds, he held both wrists again in one of his hands and had her bent backward with a hold of her hair. All her efforts to free herself caused their pelvic bones to grind together. She gave up with a groan and a plea to be let loose. They both jerked and stiffened at the sound of another voice. “Might as well, Bell. We’ll take care of her for you.” Bell’s voice changed from rumble to growl. “Get the hell out of here, Al.” He released her hair, freeing her enough to see who spoke. Two of them, the man in the leather vest, and the smaller, dark one watched them. They both rubbed themselves in an obvious anticipation. Annalisa looked at Bell in wonder. For all the contact of their bodies, pressed together the way they were, he was not aroused. The other two were, showing it beneath the cloth of their jeans. She shifted her weight, leaning toward him, taking the drag off the arm he had around her. He rewarded her by easing his grip on her wrists. The other two saw it. “How the hell does he do it?” the smaller one demanded, though he used much more descriptive words than her mind cared to recall. She could not, even in memory, deplete all that embarrassed her, no matter how hard she tried. - Giveaway - Prize One  Prize Two To ENTER comment below: WINNERS:

Penelope is determined to become a K9 search and rescue specialist with her dog Havoc. What she doesn’t plan on is the hard-ass giving her the test. Jay isn’t sure they have what it takes but that is put to the test when a young boy goes missing. Now, they have to rely on each to save a life. Will the boy survive? With Penelope and Havoc find them? Will Jay admit his attraction to Penelope is only growing stronger?
I absolute loved this book! I loved the characters. I loved Havoc. I loved the plot. This has romance in it but it’s heavy with plot about saving the boy which is exactly what I look for in a book. My only issue is the pace is off. The beginning is very slow while the ending felt only full of action. I wish there was a balance there. That said, I still really enjoyed this story! Penelope and Havoc really shined. I loved her determination! Will they save the boy? The suspense was great and I highly suggest you read the book to find the answer. This is my first book by Paris Wynters and I’m excited to read more.

 | Title: Whiskey and Moonshine Author: Elizabeth Noble Genre: Romance, Gay, LGBTQ, contemporary TBR Reviewer: Bella Rating: 4 Stars - Highly Recommended Read! Heat: 3/5 - Blush Worthy! |
I was actually a little confused by the blurb but I gave this book a try and I’m so glad I did! Colt was kicked out by his family as a teenager for being gay. Mal is the CEO who thinks Colt will be a great spokesman for his whiskey company. A romance begins to develop in the most unexpected places.
A billionaire meets a man who doesn’t have a home of his own, not exactly a new plot. I did love the characters though. Colt pulled at my heartstrings. I felt so bad that his family kicked him out! I wanted him to get back on his feet. I wanted him to find someone to call his own. I wanted him to have a home. Mal and Colt forge a friendship first which I really liked. It’s a slow romance that just builds up all those feelings so when they do get together, it’s beautiful! As the story unfolds so does their growing attraction. I loved reading that ending. It was just so edge of your seat kind of thing. Elizabeth Noble continues to impress me with her well thought out characters and romantic plots.
If you’re looking for a beach read or something fireside then I highly recommend Whiskey and Moonshine!

 | Title: The Curator's Vampire (Dusk and Dawn # 6) Author: Alexa Piper Length: 164 pages Genres: Paranormal Romance TBR Reviewer: Fiona Rating: 4 stars - Highly Recommended Read Heat: 3/5 - Blush Worthy |
Robyn is a curator of historical artifacts. Somewhere along the line she met and married Maxim Vallois. He is a vampire who hunts vampires who are still old-fashioned enough to kill humans. Maxim's job is often dangerous, so he doesn't usually tell Robyn much about it. Centuries ago, the fae, the werewolves and the vampires decided to appear to humans as themselves, and attempt to coexist with them. A huge part of that was that they needed to police their own, so that humans aren't considered "food" anymore. Of course there are humans who still want to hunt and kill paranormals. In fact, Maxim had an affair with a British woman who came from a family of hunters. When she was injured, she chose to die rather than allow him to bring her into eternal life as a vampire. But their child, a dhampire (half-human, half-vampire) named Heath, still lives with Maxim. In fact, he's part of the comedy relief, since he refers to his father as "the old bat."
The plot of this story involves a mummy being delivered to the office where Robyn spends her days cataloging and displaying the artifacts that Maxim has bought over the years. When she finds the mummy in a big box, she's intrigued by the oddities surrounding it. Robyn seeks to have it examined by experts which is of course, a huge mistake, since it's a vampire mummy, who is totally upset that he's been forced to endure the centuries living only in his own mind, thirsting for revenge. He recognizes Robyn as a "shaman," which is never mentioned by anyone else, so I suspect that will be part of the story in future books in the series.
When I was done with this book I was smiling. Then I realized that I've done that each time I've read one of Alexa Piper's books. The word that sprang to my mind was "frothy" but now I realize that her writing style is like that of the old romantic comedy movies that used to star Cary Grant. The hero is undeniably sexy, but he's also urbane and suave. He's smooth as silk, and he adores his chosen female to distraction. The heroines are smart and independent, while head-over-heels in love with their man whatever species he happens to belong to. The stories are fun to read because of the easy relationship between the characters, and how much they enjoy each other. That makes me enjoy reading about them.

 | Title: Royally Indebted Author: M.J. Calabrese Genre: Romance, Gay, Contemporary TBR Reviewers: Bella Star Rating: 4 stars - Highly Recommended Read! Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot! |
A marriage by contract. Two men refusing to fall in love. Fate has different ideas. Can they find a connection when everything is trying to pull them apart?
This was an interesting story. Eric is in trouble. Financial trouble and his only way out is by marriage. Robert is a billionaire turned unexpected husband. These two men are an interesting duo. It’s hard to like one of the main characters (I’m not spoiling by telling which) but it does include cheating. Cheating for me is a deal breaker in a relationship. Still, I read on and found the author writers a great story. The romance is hot and the way the couple work through to the end is entertaining. So, other than the cheating, I thoroughly enjoyed Royally Indebted. I definitely want to read more by MJ Calabrese!

 | Title: Dark (Princesses Book 3) Author: Thayer King Genres: Paranormal Romance, Fantasy Romance TBR Reviewer: Fiona Rating: 4 Stars - Highly Recommended Read Heat: 3 heat - Blush Worthy! |
Prince Raven of Dark Sphere has more power than anyone else around him has ever known. But when the traditional fortune-teller attended his birth, she predicted that he would lead his people to the destruction of their world. So he's been shunned his whole life. He's now in his early twenties. He's only got a very few real friends, since his tragic reaction years ago to discovering that his family had been slaughtered in an attempt to get him to return to Dark Sphere, so he could be killed. His emotions and his power combined, and he's been depressed about it ever since. He puts strong metaphysical chains around himself at least twice a day, to try to keep himself sane.
Veracity is the third child of a king and queen whose other two children will not be inheriting rule over their planet, C7. Her brother, Prince True, died in a tragic accident. And her older sister, Whimsical, Whimsy for short, fell in love with Gaedrian and ran off to marry him. He's a prince also, but not the one her parents had chosen for her. So Veracity is determined to make her parents happy. Unfortunately, the man they've chosen to unite her with is boring beyond belief. The only man her heart wants is referred to only as Dark. And he's barely acknowledged her existence. When her sister's twins turn three, there is a huge birthday celebration. Since Gaedrian is one of Dark's only friends, she knows he'll be at the party. She decides to throw herself at him, to try to get his attention. And somehow, she has to get rid of her betrothed.
I was so captured by this story that I had to keep reading long after I should have gone to bed. Dark is sent on a perilous assignment, and Veracity is determined to prove her love for him, so she decides to stow-away on the ship he travels in. Dark has been keeping his strong feelings for her to himself, because of his mistaken belief that no one so pure and beautiful could love a monster like him. He suffers eloquently. But little-by-little, she wins his trust. Since she's a virgin, once again there is the required deflowering scene, where she suffers minimal discomfort after he pleasures her with his tongue. But for all of his talk of how violent his urges are, and how afraid he is that he'll hurt her, he proves to be such a considerate lover that I wanted to join her in yelling at him--"I won't break!"
They have many adventures before they realize their HEA, but when Prince Raven is finally able to undo what he had done so many years before, I was thrilled for the relief he felt. And when you care about the characters that much, you really enjoy reading the book.

 | Title: The Drumbeat of His Heart Author: M. C. Roth Length: 261 pages Genres: LGBTQ, Contemporary Romance TBR Reviewer: Fiona Rating: 4 Stars - Highly Recommended Read Heat: 4/5 - Smoking Hot! |
Trent is an out-and-proud gay man who has had a few one-night stands, where he's always been the top, but he's never met anyone he wanted more from--nor has he ever felt he needed to. He's got a best friend from grade school named Candace, who is a lesbian. They've always supported each other through whatever life throws at them. Trent likes his job, owns a small, rundown house in a town so tiny that no one locks their doors. And he keeps three chickens in his backyard--he calls them his ladies.
One night when Trent's walking home from his job in a blinding rainstorm, a flashy Corvette almost slams into him, managing to splash him from the deep standing water it must have been swerving to avoid. He watches in shock while it smashes into a parked car. He runs to the wreckage, and pulls out a strikingly attractive man who is everything Trent has ever wanted. And since his car needs to be towed then fixed, and there's no hotel/motel or Uber in town, he needs a place to spend the weekend. Trent offers his house, then starts to stress, wondering if he'll be able to keep his hands off his houseguest.
Ian is a man so deeply in the closet that even his best friends don't suspect he's got anything to hide. But he joins Trent in the tiny shower, and over the weekend, they make spectacular use of Trent's bed, his sofa, his shower, etc. After so many days of continuing passion, Trent finds himself falling for Ian, even though Trent lives in Canada, and Ian in the USA--Miami, to be exact. But Ian is also keeping a secret from Trent--which leads to a fight due to a misunderstanding, and Ian leaves on bad terms.
This is a very realistic and graphic story about two men who don't want or expect to, falling in love so deeply that they can't help hurting each other, because of the stress of Ian's job--and a few instances on both Trent's and Ian's part, of jumping to erroneous conclusions. We know they'll end up together, but in-between the falling in love and the HEA, there is angst and suffering, along with some humor--mostly from Trent's relationship with Candace--and with his totally accepting, but over-bearing mother. There are also many steamy moments that are described in such detail, I was sure the author was a man--until I read the bio at the end. You'll laugh at the funny parts, feel Trent (and Ian's, and Candace's) pain while they suffer. And you'll get turned on by the frequent sex scenes. But you'll also enjoy this book a lot--I did.

 | Dutiful soldier and devoted family man Callum Renwick fights to defend his country from the two opposing nations sharing its border. Following a brutal attack on his unit, he wakes up in the underground laboratory of a well-known mercenary organization. The leader of the Midnight Scorpions, Dr. Dane Zedek, informs him he was the sole survivor of the attack, and his hometown and loved ones were obliterated by enemy forces. As he processes the news of his loss, he learns he has been badly injured, and Zedek and his assistant have supplanted half his body with artificial skin and cybernetic parts. Zedek intends to train Callum to become a lethal |
assassin for him, designating the woman who coordinated the attack as his first target. While he prepares to exact his revenge, he is assigned to the care of another agent in the Scorpions’ base. Ro is brash and outspoken, yet aspects of her character remain enigmatic. Despite declaring personal relationships useless in the cold, cruel world in which they live, she invites herself into Callum’s bedroom more nights than not. In her coaching, she pushes him physically, emotionally, and sexually to mold him into the killer the organization desires.
During his quest to hunt down his nemesis, more and more of Callum’s biological body parts fail and must be replaced. In addition to dealing with his grief, he struggles to come to terms with his new appearance, functions, and responsibilities. Will he be able to transform himself into what Ro and the Midnight Scorpions need, yet still retain his humanity?

- Plotting vs. Pantsing -
Or, One Book, Three Subplots
Or, One Book, Three Subplots
Spend enough time around authors and this debate is bound to come up: when you’re writing a piece of fiction, do you have a detailed outline and a strong idea of where the story is going to go (“plotting”), or do you just let the words flow onto the page and wind up wherever they take you (“pantsing”)? There’s no one right answer, and every author has their habits and processes that work best for them.
Me, I’m probably somewhere in the middle, though leaning toward the pantsing side. Sometimes I make a basic chapter outline and maybe jot down some notes at the bottom of it for upcoming scenes since I always write in order. However, I’ve written entire novels without doing any sort of concrete plotting for it. Don’t get me wrong, I usually have a general idea of where I’m going, and planning out my ideas definitely keeps me awake when I’m trying to fall asleep at night. There have been times, though, when my primary focus was getting the words on the page as quickly as possible, and then I figured I’d worry about the rest later on.
That said, Disintegration was one of those books where I needed an outline. A very brief outline, sure, but an outline nonetheless. As it’s a full-length novel, there’s a lot going on within its pages, and there are three distinct plot threads that needed to be woven together in a way that would make sense and provoke the desired response.
One of the main themes of the book is Callum’s transformation into a cyborg and his reactions as more and more of his own body needs to be replaced with artificial parts. It’s a gradual progression, and I had to get the timing right, especially toward the end where little of the original Callum remains except for his mind. This part is also heavy on the sci-fi, and I wanted to avoid any long, drawn-out explanations or info dumps in order to keep everything moving along.
Next, the aspect of the plot that really drives the story forward is Callum’s quest for revenge against the woman who orchestrated the attack which left him so badly injured. It would be a short and boring book if he just walked up to her and killed her, so I mapped out everything from his new colleagues first planting the idea in his head to his various plans to accomplish his goal.
Last, but certainly not least, the romance plot! The relationship between Callum and Ro deviated from my usual storylines, in that they start off as casual “friends with benefits” (or so Ro likes to convince herself), and then their connection deepens into something more. I won’t give away too much about the ending, but the impact of the book’s climactic scenes relies on the love between them, and I wanted to elicit a similarly strong reaction from the reader.
While each separate plot line has its own trajectory, there are instances, of course, when they influence and affect each other. Plotting all of it was a challenge at times, but I know I couldn’t have done my story justice if I didn’t have a solid plan for the way I wanted key events to play out. If this combination of sci-fi, action and adventure, and sizzling romance sounds intriguing to you, check out Disintegration today!
