BOOK COVERS & RELEASE DATES

Bec McMaster has a name for her London Steampunk #3 - My Lady Quicksilver. Sourcebooks has it slated to release 1st October, 2013.

In the mist-shrouded streets of a steam-fuelled London, a clockwork army is on the rise, vampire blue bloods rule the streets, and war is brewing…
“I WILL COME FOR YOU…”
He will find her no matter what. As a blue-blooded captain of the Nighthawk Guard, his senses are keener than most. Some think he’s indestructible. But once he finds the elusive Mercury, what will he do with her?
It’s his duty to turn her in—she’s a notorious spy and traitor. But after one stolen moment, he can’t forget the feel of her in his arms, the taste of her, or the sharp sting of betrayal as she slipped off into the night. Little does Mercury know, no one hunts better than the Nighthawk. And his greatest revenge will be to leave her begging for his touch…


The Blood Bride by Imogene Nix is available for pre-order from 13th May, 2013 and General Release 24 June, 2013, from Total-E-Bound.

Now Hope and Xavier must fight for lives and those of the innocents. After all, it is only by overcoming the rogues that they will have a chance of a timeless future together. But will it be in time?
Warning:  If you love sexy alpha males that go bump in the night, hot and heavy encounters and strong females, then this book is for you…


Shona Husk's Dark Secrets is out 18th February from Carina Press!

Six years ago, Haidyn Mast left his home and his betrothed Anisa to follow his magical calling. Too weak to join the Arcane Guild and too ashamed to return home, he has made a life as a prostitute—to all outward appearances. In truth, he sells his mind but not his body, using magic to let his clients experience their most secret fantasies while his hands stay clean. Even the Lawman, the arbiter of justice in Reseda, is one of his clients, but Haidyn would rather not know the extent of that man's depravity.
Though successful, Haidyn is shunned as a whore and his lack of formal training is causing his power to grow out of control. He's ready to retire and leave the city, but when he sees his Anisa standing at the Lawman's side, he knows he must rescue her from the abusive enforcer. Risking his life and his sanity, he devises a plan, knowing that failure will mean death for him, and a lifetime of torment for her…


S.E.Gilchrist has indie published the second novella in the Bound Erotic Fantasy series, Bound by Lies. It was published on 14th February, 2013 and is now available at Amazon & Smashwords.

After trudging in the footsteps of the Fomorian army, Aileen longs to have a home of her own far from the horrors of war. She will do anything to achieve her goal. Even lie to the kin and people of her newly deceased husband.
But lies are nothing, compared with drugging a pixie king and stealing his memory ... and his seed.


And coming out 1st March, 2013 with Escape Publishing is S.E.Gilchrist's futuristic short story, The Portal.

When Janni, a young salvager, boards a space wreck, she is caught for daring to steal Darkon tech by a patroller and the one man she had thought never to see again. Several months ago she had allowed him to slip past her defences for a brief and wonderful interlude. But with both of them on either sides of the law, they had walked away. Now they are trapped on a wreck and with an alien life-force hunting them. Will the patroller save her or abandon Janni to her fate?

REVIEWS

Skin by Kylie Scott gets a B+ from The Bookpushers:

"I really found that this installment in the FLESH series was solid, tightly plotted and it cemented the world-building...

I think what stands out the most is the Australian outback, and the humour which gave it a different feel and tone to other books with a similar premise. SKIN has all the elements in a post-apocalyptic book of a dark and eerie world, but the humour and fun-filled romance and the over the top alphahole and snarky heroine made the book shine for me. Kylie Scott is now firmly an auto-buy author for me because she has an engaging voice and a real gift for characterisation, and I am definitely looking forward to her next book."

And this one is from Page Flipperz:

"Kylie Scott has delivered yet another fantastic story. Filled with Energy, hot sex, action, suspense, and gore . We are given vivid descriptions into all aspects of the story, giving us a steady paced read that is well delivered - with oomph that will not only have you gasping but have your toes curling and heart a pumpin'!!!"

The RT Book Reviews (April 2013 edition) gave Kylie Griffin's Allegiance Sworn a 4 star (HOT) rating:

"The third outing in Griffin's rousing Light Blade series provides readers with a breathtakingly strong and dedicated heroine willing to fight and sacrifice for her people. Griffin keeps the tension running high as the world she created heads ever closer to war. This is a series that is definitely improving with age!"
