BOOK COVERS & RELEASE DATES

Bloodlust Denied by Christina Phillips hit shelves on June 8th, 2013 from Ellora's Cave.

Tired of the thin-blooded aristocrats in 1815 London, Alexius yearns for better sport. He is drawn to a dark-haired seductress who shows no fear and refuses to obey his commands. Entranced by such novelty, he denies his bloodlust and decides to keep her to warm his bed.
 Immortal vampire hunter Morana has never mistaken her prey before, but the dark stranger mesmerizes her, enticing her to forget everything but the dangerous pleasure she finds in his arms.
Neither one can deny the pull of the other, but there is something beyond the lust—a recognition neither can put a name to. The past and present collide and unless they discover the truth behind the lies, Death will triumph once more.
Inside Scoop: Silk makes much softer shackles than iron, but is just as binding as our lovers engage in light BDSM sport with spanking and mild submission in this risqué Regency story.


Believe, an inspirational romance, co-written by Kylie Sheaffe and Mel Teshco, is due out October 2013 (no exact date) with Soul Mate Publishing.



This is the cover for Maggie Mundy's Blood Scent, coming out with Rogue Phoenix Press 10th July as an eBook and 9th August as a print book.

Trent Feldor is a Seeker vampire who protects human females from Rogue vampires who would take them as mates. Kellie is a reporter who wants to make the front page of the Adelaide newspaper by finding the Parklands Killer. Instead she stumbles straight into a vampire fight and she is the trophy being fought for. Kellie has never let anyone into her life since her mother's death, and isn't going to let the mysterious Trent get under her skin. As for Trent, he may have found the one woman he could love but he will have to stop Rogue vampires who want to kidnap her, and vampire hunters who want to kill him. 



REVIEWS

Christina Phillips received a B- review for Betrayed from The Book Pushers.
“…the story really focuses on the romance between Tacitus and Nimue which was erotically charged and sweet at the same time.  The period setting was also well researched and vivid. But overall, I loved the rich mythology and paranormal elements and along with the heartfelt romance with lovers who are torn and divided about their loyalties but succumb to a true love. This is a fun book that has the enemies turn to lovers trope and was an enjoyable installment in Christina Phillips paranormal historical series.”

Christina also received a 4 star review for Bloodlust Denied from Vampire Romance Books.
"I was very happy when I read the blurb, as I am a fan of paranormal, erotica, and I love a good regency romance.  Phillips gave me all three, so how could I not be absolutely thrilled!"

Allegiance Sworn by Kylie Griffin received a 5 Star rating & Reviewer Top Pick from Night Owl Reviews.

"Although this is the first book of this series that I have read I was instantly hooked. The characters were all so likable and I loved the chemistry between the main characters which changed and grew through the book."







Keri Arthur's Darkness Unmasked was reviewed by All Things Urban Fantasy.
"Keri Arthur’s DARKNESS UNMASKED, the fifth book in the Dark Angels series, is a well written, thrilling urban fantasy, likely to be enjoyed most by readers already familiar with the series. A little confusing to those just jumping in, it was still a fun read, with sleuthing, sexy moments and lots of spiders!"
