The Dark Kings of the Realm never cease to entice us, dazzle us or scorch us with their desire to save the innocent, their passion for their intended mates and fight for peace within the various clans.

And it all seems to be coming together – those penultimate events leading to the big showdown between two powerful dragon kings!!! Donna Grant has written such an intriguing and mesmerizing screenplay of the powerful dragon kings; you can’t but be totally drawn into their love and war.

PassionIgnites-DarkKings-Nov2015-DonnaGrant

“Passion Ignites” wakens dragon king Thorn from slumber to fighting the Dark Fae and keeping the innocents safe. And in this battle he comes face to face with a courageous and brave human Lexi, trying to find justice for her slayed friend in a foreign land.

Protecting Lexi from the Dark Fae becomes Thorn’s mission and sending her far away by sacrificing his love becomes his goal that never sees fruition. With death dogging Lexi and the Dark Fae getting closer to their goal, Thorn is torn between his mission and his love.

“Passion Ignites” can be read as a standalone, but what fun would it is to read the entire series and get to know the history of the dragon kings and their journey from the shadows to light to fighting for their survival as they find love and friendship along the way.

I love the way Donna Grant makes sure that each book has a brief history of the past and connecting to the present for new readers. The books don’t have to be read in sequence, or read at all to follow their journey. But then who can resist these powerful Dragon Kings as they vow to keep their love safe and protect the innocent.

Christmas is the season of giving and cheer, it is the season of love and romance and it is the season of family, friends and miracles. And this the season that brings out utterly delicious love stories from some of my favorite writers…and heading that list for me is Melanie Shawn.

ChristmasWish-HopeFallsNovella-Dec2015

Their surprise release, “Christmas Wish” is just that – a delightful read of new relationships, new beginnings and a miracle that gives a mother and her disabled a daughter a fairy tale of a life.

Kyle Austen Reed is the typical handsome devil of a guy, a movie star with a big heart. And is all smitten with in-trouble-mother Aurora Rose. As goofy and hilarious Kyle was in the previous stories, he’s just too adorable not to fall in love.

Aurora Rose is just a firecracker of a mother, with the world falling apart, her entire focus is her daughter and her daughter’s happiness. Two individuals attracted to each other and throw in a daughter with an amazing talent for blogging and just making everyone around her laugh and fall in love with her positivity and courage.

A fairy tale of wishes coming true, of keeping that faith and hope for better things, of courage and miracles, of emotions and insecurities, “Christmas Wish” gives the readers a miracle of a read.

Irresistible, Endearing and Lovable!!!

Book #6 in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Samantha Chase’spopular Montgomery series

This Montgomery Has a Head for Business

Working for Zach Montgomery is challenging on many levels-coming from a wealthy and powerful family, he lives by his own rules and doesn’t answer to anyone. But Gabriella Martine has no intention of backing down. She’s used to handling stubborn men, and it doesn’t hurt that Zach is smart, charismatic…and gorgeous.

And a Heart for Adventure

Zach’s perfect world is turned upside down when a climbing accident leaves him broken, angry, and maddeningly dependent. In his slow quest for recovery, Gabriella is always there to help…but as Zach comes to see his beautiful assistant in a new light, he is forced to re-evaluate what it really means to be a man worthy of Gabriella’s love.

Excerpt:

Reaching across the table, Zach took one of Gabriella’s hands in his and just marveled at how soft it was. He always wondered what her skin felt like and now that he knew, he wanted to feel more. “Don’t leave me. Please.

Her blue eyes filled with tears and she used her free hand to quickly wipe them away before they fell and then studied their hands on the table. “Zach,” she said softly, “we’ve been over this.”

Excerpt-Banner

“I know, I know,” he replied just as softly. “I need another chance, Gabriella. I need a chance to make things right.” He looked up, his gaze meeting hers. “I need you.”

Deciding to be bold, he turned her hand over and twined their fingers together and gently squeezed. He was surprised she didn’t pull away and thought maybe—just maybe—they were making progress. “I know I can’t erase the things I’ve said and done, but if you’ll give me one more chance, Gabs, I promise not to screw up. If I do anything to upset you, you can walk away. Hell, you can slap me in the face, kick me in the shin or throw something heavy at me and I’ll take it. I just…I can’t do this without you.”

Her eyes never left their joined hands.

“I don’t want to do this without you,” he said quietly.

“I’m afraid to…believe you.” He barely heard her words, they were uttered so softly.

Everything inside of him clenched with pain. His always confident, ever-efficient assistant was now distrusting and uncertain—because of him. “I don’t know what to say to make you believe me. Tell me. Tell me what I need to do. Anything. Anything you need from me to gain your confidence, and I’ll do it.”

She looked up at him. “It’s not that easy. Every day I walked into the office, I gave you another chance. Every time you berated me or made me feel like I screwed up and I came back, I gave you another chance. From my standpoint, you’ve had two years’ worth of second chances. I think I’ve been more than generous.”

His other hand reached out to cup her hand in both of his.“I know you have and you have no idea how much I appreciated it.”

She looked at him with disbelief. “It’s true! I know I never said it but every morning you were there, I was thankful. Every time you walked into my office, I was thankful. Please. I’m begging here, Gabs.”

Author Info

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller/contemporary romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan’s Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40’s to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.

When she’s not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.
