Book Blast ~ Son of the Moon by Jennifer Macaire

It's a book blast and today I'm featuring Son of the Moon by Jennifer Macaire. You'll want to comment. Why? There's a $10 Amazon/BN GC up for grabs. How cool is that? Want more chances to win? Then follow the tour. You can do that here: https://goddessfishpromotions.blogspot.com/2017/09/book-blast-son-of-moon-by-jennifer.html


Son of the Moon 
by Jennifer Macaire


In Nysa, Alexander the Great and time traveling journalist Ashley find their abducted son Paul being worshiped as ""the son of the moon"". Knowing she can’t change history and that Alexander’s kingdom will be torn apart when he dies, Ashley must make the terrible decision to leave her firstborn son in the sacred valley.

Alexander presses on to India, where he and Ashley are welcomed with feasts - and treachery. They struggle through monsoons, face the might of Porus’s army, and outwit deadly Brahmin rebels. Facing the reality of Alexander’s looming death, Ashley considers the unthinkable - How to save him, and the consequences of cheating the Fates. Book III in the Time for Alexander series

Now for an Excerpt:

The battle that day was over by mid-morning. Alexander lost twelve men. The enemy lost half their army and sued for peace before noon.

Alexander was carried into the infirmary where I was helping Usse. His ankle had been shattered by a lance.

“Are you all right?” I asked, rushing to his side.

He stared at me, sweat pouring off his face, and his eyes two wells of pain.

“Would I come here if I was all right?” he gasped.

I sat down next to him and held his hand while Usse took off his sandal and examined the wound. When he probed, my own hand was nearly broken in Alexander’s grip, and I yelped.

“Sorry,” muttered the slender Egyptian doctor, dousing the ankle with hot water mixed with different herbs. He cleansed it and put a splint around it. There wasn’t much else he could do. Now we just had to pray it didn’t get infected.

We stayed for three days while we organized the peace talks with both tribes. Then Alexander decided to pull out and head straight to Nysa. An ambassador for the Assacenian king told us that the child of the moon was being worshipped in Nysa.

The child of the moon was Paul, my baby, now nearly five years old. I hadn’t seen him since he was ten days old.


Alexander left two divisions behind with his general Coenus while we took the rest of the army. We would all join up at the Indus River.

Hide and Seek
by Desiree Holt

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anything can happen when you let your guard down . . .


After receiving a violent threat on the heels of her father’s disappearance from the town of Arrowhead Bay, Devon Cole fears for her life—until Vigilance, a local private security agency, steps in to shield her from danger. Although she isn’t usually quick to surrender her freedom, she has no problem stripping her defenses for her new sexy bodyguard . . .

Tortured by the painful memory of lost love, Logan Malik is determined not to fall for a client again. So when he’s tasked with watching over Devon day and night, he’s focused on doing his job. Day is no problem, but as tensions rise at night, nothing can protect them from giving in to unbridled passion . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now for an Excerpt: 

“And we’re working on the backgrounds of the Cole International execs. Do you have everything there you need?”

Logan had his own personal weapons with him—a Glock 19, a Ruger LCP and his Kabar knife—but on the remote chance of an invasion he wanted to be covered on all fronts.

“More firepower. I’ll text you the list as soon as I hang up. How are you coming with the phone?”

“We’ve just gotten started with it. First of all, it’s not an ordinary cell phone. It’s made by a company like the one that makes ours.”

“So it’s ten times as hard to crack.”

“That’s right. We got past the factory restore and there’s data on it, but it also seems to have multiple passwords.”

Logan snorted. “Can you say paranoid? Now I’m sure there’s shit on it we need.”

“I’ve got Del on it. He’s got it hooked up to a bunch of different programs at the same time. If anyone can break it, that would be him.”

“Okay. Keep me in the loop on that.”

“Ginger’s been digging into Graham Cole with an electronic shovel. I want to know everything from the past ten years, personal and corporate. There’s a clue somewhere and I mean for us to find it. I’ll bet we find a lot of unpleasant crap there.

“I hope we find something soon,” he told her. “I don’t think they’re near done with her.”

“And that’s why you’re there, Mr. Marine.”

“Ooh rah.”

THE CHRISTMAS WEDDING SWAP
by Allyson Charles

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SOMETIMES YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED . . .


Allison Stuart has always been the odd-woman-out of her family. She wears her jeans a little too tight, colors her hair a little too blonde, and instead of going into medicine and law like her sisters, she runs a diner. She’s also the only single sibling left. And while she won’t change her style, and her meatloaf is to die for, thank you very much, she wouldn’t mind her share of wedded bliss. So she makes an early New Year’s resolution: No more meaningless flings.

Drop-dead sexy Luke Hamilton is everything Allison has sworn off. His only serious relationship has been with his five-star restaurant, Le Cygne Noir, in Chicago. When he’s threatened by a lawsuit, Luke decides to hide out in Pineville, Michigan, until the statute of limitations runs out. The small town is filled with Christmas charm, but he can’t imagine living there. Heating things up with the hottie who owns the local diner would make his exile bearable—if he can convince her to give up her ridiculous resolution . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now for an Excerpt:

“Is this restaurant a step down for you?” Allison asked sweetly. She twirled the tip of the cleaver in a circle. “Is my kitchen not up to your usual standards?”

Luke appeared to have more balls than brains. He stood firm. “A kitchen can always be improved. Yours is no exception.”

He was giving her an ulcer. Allison’s stomach grumbled in complaint, and she knew just how it felt. There were some things that just weren’t done, and criticizing your boss’s kitchen was one of them. “Hasn’t anyone ever taught you not to piss off a woman holding an eight-inch blade?”

“That’s a solid piece of advice,” Delilah said in agreement.

Luke threw his hands in the air. “Fine. I think you’re making a mistake, but it’s your restaurant.”

“I’m glad you remember that,” Allison said.

Luke’s lips twitched, and he rocked back onto his heels. “I’d heard your nickname was the Tyrant, but I couldn’t see it till now.”

Allison spluttered.

“I mean it as a compliment,” Luke said. “You don’t let anyone push you around. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.”

Luke traced a finger along the slick metal surface of the counter, his eyes hot, and Allison felt it as though his finger danced along her spine. She could see in his expression that he meant it. He did find her take-charge attitude a turn-on. And damn if that didn’t make her go a little weak in the knees. Still, she couldn’t let that claim go unchallenged.

“My name is n—”

“No?” Delilah jumped in.

Luke chuckled.

Allison’s jaw grew stiff. If she could incinerate people with the heat of her glare, her restaurant would be down two cooks. They’d be nothing but little piles of dust. “Not no. And not Tyrant. My employees love me.”

Peals of laughter rang through the kitchen.

Allison wagged the knife in the air. “Delilah, that advice about being nice to the woman holding a knife? It goes for you, too.” Spinning, she hammered the cleaver into her cutting board, the blade plunging a quarter inch into the wood. She stepped back, and the cleaver stood upright, quivering in its new slot. With a pointed look at her cooks, she stormed to her office.

The hoots of amusement behind her back rather diminished the effect of her exit.

About the Author:

Allyson Charles lives in Northern California. She’s the author of the "Pineville Romance" series, small-town, contemporary romances published by Lyrical Press. A former attorney, she happily ditched those suits and now works in her pajamas writing about men’s briefs instead of legal briefs. When she’s not writing, she’s probably engaged in one of her favorite hobbies: napping, eating, or martial arts (That last one almost makes up for the first two, right?). One of Allyson’s greatest disappointments is living in a state that doesn’t have any Cracker Barrels in it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now for an Interview with author Lindsay Avalon!



1. Describe yourself in three words.

Mother Dreamer Author

2. Cast your book. Tell us who would play the main characters in a movie and why.

These are always so freaking hard because I'll admit, I absolutely fail miserably at knowing actors names lmao! I'll give it a try though. For the heroine, Skye, I would cast Jaime Alexander (http://img.cinemablend.com/cb/d/3/e/b/6/0/d3eb60155cd22b26081e13acf3b108c38e79e1837eed8ffd020cdeb3fd16dada.jpg) because I adore the look of her. She looks strong and badass and she was my inspiration when writing Skye.

For Dreyvin, I'd have to go with Hugh Jackman (http://assets.menshealth.co.uk/main/thumbs/36829/unknown__square.png) because he is ruggedly handsome and is a really versatile actor. I think he could really pull off the stiff, formal alpha who falls for Skye in a convincing manner :)


3. What’s your favorite love scene from a movie?

Hmm, this is a tough one. From a serious perspective, honestly, I'd have to pick The Fifth Element. It doesn't really show much, but I adore that movie so damn much and I love their passion as they recover from saving the world.

From a humorous perspective, the scene from Robin Hood Men in Tights is so hilariously realistic for how my husband and I would react that I adore it.

4. What’s your wildest fantasy?

Probably what you read in my books lol. I tend to put myself into my heroines so things like having magical powers, saving the world, having sex standing up against the wall with a sexy alpha male...you get the picture. That last one especially because I'm so damn short that it's just not feasible for me in real life. I'm not a delicate little flower easily picked up and maneuvered into place, so it really is pretty much impossible for me

5. If you were to lose one of your senses, which would you rather lose and why?

Ooo another tough one. Part of me says hearing because I'm very sensitive to some sounds and I think being able to escape those sounds would be bliss. HOWEVER, now that I'm a mother, I can't imagine not hearing my son's voice. Therefore, I think I'll go with losing my sense of smell. It would throw off my sense of taste, but at least I'd miss out on the stinky diapers!

6. What is the naughtiest thing you did as a kid?

When I was in junior high, a few friends and I streaked through an apartment complex then went down to the side of the highway and flashed some cars. Then a cop pulled over and we booked it. I felt like such a fugitive lmao


QUICKIE QUESTIONS:

Boxers or Briefs?
Boxers all the way

Top or Bottom? Definitely bottom...most of the time

Pajamas or nude? Pajamas

Hairy chests or smooth?
Hairy for sure



Alpha or Beta? Alpha all the way
And now the blurb from Lindsay Avalon's Falling Skye:


It had been more than a century since humans colonized the first planet beyond the Milky Way. The result: Gaia’Tor—some even called it The New Garden of Eden. They were wrong.

Gifted with strong telepathic and empathic skills, Arabella Skye can cut through lies as easily as rice paper. Or so she thought. When a stranger begins following her, she realizes that for the first time, someone is immune to her gifts. Intrigued, she finds herself compelled to pursue the mysterious man...straight into the heart of danger.

Dreyvin Aylarz’s only objective is to infiltrate and subjugate the people of Gaia’tor. The destruction of such a paradise by the humans means no one will be spared. Yet when he discovers a slip of a woman with a warlord’s courage resisting the invasion, Dreyvin finds himself questioning orders for the first time. An act of treason equaling death.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About Lindsay Avalon:


Lindsay Avalon is a wife, owner of a devious mini Schnauzer, programmer, and now an author. An avid reader, her amazing husband never seems to mind the multitude of books scattered around the house. However, after listening to the words “I have nothing to read” one too many times, he suggested Lindsay try her hand at writing her own books.

Since she’d never liked writing in school, she balked at the idea until her sister pestered her to participate in NaNoWriMo. It was then Lindsay realized that it was never writing she hated; it was writing boring essays. Creating worlds of magic, mystery, adventure, and romance became her true calling. In 2012, she embarked on the journey to become a self-published author and to bring her crazy ideas to life.

In 2013, Lindsay decided to ask a fellow author about her publishing company, Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly. It was a spur of the moment, impulsive decision, and one which Lindsay is eternally grateful she made. Though self-publishing was exhilarating, being a part of her amazing publishing family gives her a bit of structure in her chaotic existence.

When she’s not writing or spending time with her husband, she’s hiding out from devious bears seeking to thwart her writing efforts, pestering her amazing friends and personal assistant, creating works of art in resin, and a multitude of other things that capture her attention at the moment. You can find Lindsay online spreading insanity across Facebook and interacting with her many lovelies. She loves hearing from her readers and fellow writers!

DEVIL'S GAMBLE
by Michele Arris


Sienna Keller saw how men used her mother, and from an early age she swore she’d never allow it to happen to her. So when she meets smooth-talking billionaire Gavin Crane, who uses his connections to help her art career, she resolves to keep things strictly professional—no matter how gorgeous he is.

Gavin might be the son of the head of the Kavanagh organized crime family, but he wants no part of that life. It’s important to him to prove to Sienna that he’s a good guy. But when she winds up in the hospital with a gunshot wound, he is driven to exact revenge. His father agrees to provide security to watch over her as well as find the man who shot her, but at a cost—Gavin must come back into the family business.

As Sienna begins to let her guard down around Gavin, seeing the kind, caring man he’s always wanted her to see, his secrets begin to pile up. Has she done the one thing she vowed never to do—trusted her heart to the wrong man?
