Release Day Palooza with Gracie Meadows!


Welcome our very own, Gracie Meadows in a release day extravaganza!  Gracie has a hot new series out we are dying to tell you about.  Gracie, give us the run down!


Blog post:
Many people look at this and wonder how I came up with the concepts and characters, and I thought, how could I not. I have always love cop books, and find it fun to stay just on the outside of the law a bit with detectives, because let’s face it, they get all the cool gadgets. While playing this idea I wanted it to be run by women, but not just any woman, but woman who are kiss-ass now and take your name later type. I have certain friends that say and or do things just like this. So I mimics the heroine to fit them. (Kinda nervous once the read it, how much I put in about them too.) But in the end, it left me with a book that is funny, action packed and sexy as hell. What more could you ask for in a book… oh that’s right Bubbles!



Covered by Bubbles (Heel for Hire Inc. Book one)
Blurb:
Warning: For Mature Adult Audiences.  Contains language and actions some may deem offensive.  Sexually explicit content.  Ménage - MFM
In book one of Heels for Hire, Inc.:  Brandie "Bubbles" Anderson is always alert and ready to take any case head on.  However, when a case she is involved in crosses over with the local PD's, Brandie finds herself working with two cops who threaten her independence.
Chance and Dylan have been friends since the beginning days at the academy and now are partners at the Ridgeville Police department.  After a series of thefts take place involving the elite citizens in the area, and with the mayor breathing down their Chief's back, he hires a private investigation service to help.  What the men didn’t expect was for their new partner to be a kickass—take names later, bubbly blonde.
Bubbles must work with the men to solve the case quickly before anything else comes up missing—including her heart.  The case takes on a new meaning when a connection is found with one of the players.  A simple case becomes Bubbles nightmare, leaving her holding another's fate in her hands.  Will the men rescue her in time, or will they enter only to be covered by Bubbles?



Except:
“Don’t scream, if you do I will slit your fucking throat.  We are going to have a little fun, you and I.”  She wasn’t able to turn, but she could see the man through the reflection on her car window, and the knife sparkled from the light of the sun.  Bubbles didn’t panic, but now she wished she hadn’t disconnected the mic to the girls.  She stumbled back with the man as he started to pull her to a side alley that was blocked by the sun, creating a dark deserted area, perfect for assholes like this one to take unsuspecting women.  There was one thing this asshole didn’t knowshe was not some helpless woman.  She was raised with all men after her mother died in a car accident.  Her father was military and she had three older brothers, who right now were in various locations.  Needless to say, she learned to shoot and fight better than most men.  She just needed the perfect opportunity, and unfortunately next to her car was not one.  Looking around, she saw the ground was uneven.  Thank you, Rainbow, for the heels, and I promise to buy you a new pair.  She found a small crack and dug her heel in, making him jerk when she couldn’t move.  He let go of her to grab her boot and lift it out of the hole, and that is when she made her move. 
Bubbles brought her other knee to the man’s nose, making him cry out as blood started to spray her shoes.  Bringing her hands together, she struck him in the middle of his back, bringing him down to the ground with a thud.  The guy dropped the knife, and she quickly kicked it away, then grabbed hold of his arms and twisted them behind his back.  The man yelled in pain as Bubbles pushed her knee into his back trying to keep him in place.  The man started yelling numerous curse words that she could almost guarantee he couldn’t spell.  She reached over and tried to grab her purse to call the girls, and to call the police, but at the same time the man kicked back, bucking her off and she slipped off him.  Fucking dress.  She couldn’t move in the damn thing. 
Tumbling back, she scrambled to the ground trying once again to reach her purse, which had her phone and gun.  She never left home without both of them.  The man jumped and reached for his knife, coming at her just as she reached for her gun.  He froze when he saw her shiny Glock pointed right at his dick.  Yeah, asshole, move and I will blow your pencil dick into a million pieces, it would only make this day a whole lot better.  Keeping her eyes on his, he moved and she kept pace with him with her gun as she twisted and turned on her ass to try to stay with him.  She could feel her ass getting scrapped up from the cement, but it was nothing compared to knowing the asshole would have no issues putting a knife in her.  Keeping her eyes right on him, she steadied herself. 
“Looks like we are at an impasse, asshole.  I say put down the knife before you hurt yourself or I put a bullet in your dick.”  She thought maybe rationalizing with him would help, but nope, he seemed a little desperate at that point.  Blood still poured out of his nose, which was obviously broken. 
“I don’t think so, bitch.  You fucking broke my nose, and now I’m gonna fuckin' gut you.”  Just then he lunged and she fired.  She was comfortable with her gun, but even the blowback pushed her a little on the ground and the asshat fell to the ground screaming as he dropped the knife and held on to his now blown off dick. 
Scrambling to her feet, she pulled her phone out while she kept the gun pointed at the asshole, but before she could punch the number, another gun pointed at her. 
“Freeze, police, drop the gun.”  Fuck, this is all she needed.  Putting her hands up, she turned to see two cops with their guns drawn on her.  Do they really think I am the bad guy? 
“My name is Brandie Anderson, I’m a private detective for Heels for Hire, Inc.

New Release Spotlight with Lady V and Alice Brown!


Please wish a Sinfully Sweet welcome to Lady V and Alice Brown! 

We asked this mother daughter duo a few questions and here is what they had to say:

Thank you for having us on your blog today.  We hope to share a little about our upcoming release, Sapphamire, Dragons of Dragonose 1, and also a little bit about us.  We are a mother/daughter team of paranormal erotic romance writers. 


Q:  Tell us a little about yourselves.  What is it like to write with your mother/daughter?
Lady V:  For us it comes quite easily.  Mom homeschooled me straight through high school; and we did many projects together.  Dad was often away while he was in the military, leaving just mom and I.  That brought about a very close bond between the two of us. 
We both started writing about the same time, about three years ago.  Ironically, it was mom that talked me into trying, and I in turn talked her into trying.   We made a promise to each other early on that we would help each other until we both made it.
Alice Brown:  Lady V is correct, we have an extremely tight relationship.  In a lot of ways, we are each other’s best friend.  It didn’t take long after we started writing to discover that we complement each other wonderfully.
Q:  I have heard Alice state that writing in your household is a family affair.  Care to explain?   
Lady V:  Well, dad is big on science fiction and fantasy.  Years ago he played Dungeons & Dragons and has always loved anything fantasy, paranormal, etc.  So, mom is truly the writer.  You can give her a idea, and she can take off with it and spin a story before you know it.  Dad and I are the ones that come up with those ideas.  We can be often found sitting around bouncing story ideas off of each other.  Case in point, at 12:30 am two nights ago mom decided she wanted to go back and redo the second Dragons of Dragonose book that we are currently working on, giving it a new angle.  I grabbed some chips and crackers for munching, and all three of us sat down in the dining room for the next hour and half discussing what should or should not be changed, while she jotted down notes so she wouldn’t forget in the morning.  That is how we work.  If one of us gets stuck in our writing, or gets an idea for a book but not sure how well it will go over; we all stop and discuss it together.  It’s kind of cool.  I’ve been told it’s geeky; but I love it!   And honestly, I wouldn’t want it any other way!   
Alice:  Yes, we are a very close knit family.  Mr. Brown also is a huge help to me in running our websites and helping me with ordering of promo items, etc.
Q:  Is Sapphamire the only co-written book the two of you have planned?
Lady V:  No, Sapphamire is the first in a series, of which we are already working on both book two, Fire and Ice, and book three, Ivormantis.  We also have story lines lined up for books four and five, but haven’t started those yet.


Q:  So, what are your plans for the future? 
Lady V:  We have a goal to have the next four books of Dragons of Dragonose series done this year.  Mom and I are also bouncing around some additional ideas for other series, one of which I started quite some time ago and have just recently picked back up. 
Alice:  We have just recently made the decision to stay teamed up for the foreseeable future.  Lady V has a ton of “partially written” stories that I am helping her in order to get a few completed.  She has such a wonderful imagination.  I also have a new series, Texas Vampire Rangers.  The first book in that series should be out around April time frame, with plans to do write several more in that series.
Q:  Tell us something funny that is not widely known about your private life.  Common Lady V, dish it out to us.
Lady V:  (grins an evil grin as she glances over to her mother)   I have a pet bearded dragon named Hyde.  For some reason, he has taken a strong dislike to mom ever since he was little.  I have to ask her to babysit him once in a while so I can clean his tank.  This has resulted in him trying to run away from her multiple times, clawing her, etc.  But the funniest was when he decided to “leave her a present” on her desk calendar.  It soaked through over half the pages, resulting in her throwing the calendar out while yelling at him that she didn’t appreciate his “little gift”!
Alice:  That bearded dragon just doesn’t like me!
Lady V:  Oh I’m not done!  Mom is also well known for getting ready to walk out the door and yelling, “Where the h*** are my glasses?”  They are usually on top of her head where she has thrown them!
Q:  Can you tell us about your upcoming book?  When is it available?
Lady V:  Sapphamire, Dragons of Dragonose is set to be released tomorrow, Thursday, February 27.   Blain Barrymire is a dragon shifter from the land of Dragonose.  His dragon’s name is Sapphamire.  Blain came to earth to find his mate about eight years ago.  He runs a powerful business out of his castle in Iceland. 
Interviewing for the position of personal assistant, Natasha Clayton leaves a few minor details out of her resume.  Arriving for the interview, Blain is stunned to realize that not only is he interviewing a female that he had originally thought was a male, but that female is his mate!
Natasha is out of options and time.  The High Council of Others considers her a ticking time bomb because her powers didn’t manifest in the usual timeframe.  She’s part demon, part pixie, and part angel.  The council is confused and frankly scared that her powers haven’t come to light yet.  She has no idea of the life altering events that are ahead of her.
But Blain and Natasha will soon face much larger problems than the Council of Others or Natasha’s hidden powers.  King Thoran has called Blain home to defend Dragonose against a long-standing enemy’s attack.  Sapphamire is injured during the battle, and life for both Blain and his dragon will be forever changed.  They must learn to depend on Natasha’s love and new-found abilities to see them through. 

Thank you ladies for having us on your blog today.  We had a blast and hope that everyone joins us tomorrow over on facebook for the release party of Sapphamire.  It will be held between 1-4 p.m. EST.  Here is the link:  


Sapphamire- Dragons of Dragonose 1



Warning: For Mature Adult Audiences.  Contains language and actions some deem offensive.  Sexually explicit content.  MF
In book one of the Dragons from Dragonose: Blain Barrymire is a dragon shifter from the land of Dragonose.  He came to Earth several years ago to search for his mate, and in the meantime, established a powerful business empire based out of his castle in Iceland.  When interviewing for the position of his personal assistant, his attention is drawn to a resume from an N. Clayton.  He assumes the candidate is a man, and is shocked when it turns out that not only is she a female, but also his mate!
Natasha Clayton is out of options and time.  The High Council of Others considers her a ticking time bomb because her powers didn’t manifest in the usual timeframe.  She’s part demon/pixie, and part angel, and the council is confused and worried as to why her powers haven't come to light.  When she steps into Blain's castle for her interview, she doesn't expect the life-altering changes that are ahead of her.
Blain and Natasha soon face bigger problems than worrying about Natasha’s hidden powers, or the Council of Others.  Blain's king has called him home to defend against the imminent threat of a long-standing enemy’s attack. 
When the unthinkable happens, and Blain’s dragon is seriously injured, will Natasha’s love and newfound abilities be enough to see Blain through?

Give away time!! All comments below will be entered to win!  The two great prizes include an ecopy of Sapphamire and a necklace!  Don't miss out!

Now Available From:
AMAZON | ARe | B&N
Despite being a dragon shifter, Ridley Dragos doesn’t lead a life of adventure or excitement. Instead, he prefers the quiet solitude of Letters-to-Julian-Michaels2his bookstore and the brief interaction with his customers. He has no aspirations of falling in love or living happily ever after, but all of that is about to change.
When he walked into The Book Attic that morning, Julian Haell harbored no expectations other than finding a new book for his ever-growing collection. Ridley intrigues him, though, and challenges everything he thought he knew about friendship and desire. A simple chat over tea turns into a comfortable, weekly routine, but as the months pass, Julian can’t help but want more.
It’s not every day a guy realizes he’s fallen for his best friend, but unfortunately, Ridley’s window of opportunity is closing fast. When Julian visits the mysterious Cupid Inc in search of a date for Valentine’s Day, Ridley finds himself facing an impossible decision—either seize the moment and confess his feelings, or let the love of a lifetime disappear forever.
Cupid Inc: Silver Lamp Playlist
M/M Paranormal Erotic Romance
By Skye Dragen
Skye-Banner
Silver-Lamp-Playlist-Dragen2Hektor is a four hundred year old vampire with an interfering family and an antique shop. Bullied into a blind date by his sister, he signs up at Cupid Inc expecting little considering his questionnaire included deep questions like “if you were a nursery rhyme which would you be and why?”. At least he’ll get the women of his family off his back if he can get a complete stranger to stick around long enough to go to his mom’s birthday party. Finding out that his date is a genie might be the answer to his wishes if he can get past how very weird Vedran is.
Getting picked up by a gorgeous vampire was just what Vedran needed after several hundred years trapped in a magic lamp. From the second Hektor polished his teapot he’s been having fun being in the real world again. Maybe he’ll even have the chance to experience romance this time around if he helps Hektor out with his little family problem. When a thief snatches Vedran’s lamp, they’ll both see how far Hektor will go to make sure Vedran remains his.
