Cover Reveal! No One's Angel by Kelly Walker

Hello, pull up a seat and have a look at the cover for "No One's Angel" by Walker. It's a New Adult Romance releasing in September and for you geeks out there, the hero and heroine are gamers! I've been seeing more romances recently that feature gamers and I think it's great. I don't game but so many people do, why shouldn't they be represented in books too? Take a look at the blurb and see what you think -

My boy Goof has a passion for bread. I can not leave any bread where he can get it. Pizza crust in the trash? I find it on the floor, chewed. Forget to put the grocery bag with the loaf of bread on the kitchen counter? I have a torn bread bag and chewed bread.  And if I eat pancakes, he's trying to jump in my lap to get at them. Goof, the bread addicted cat. :D

NOW OPTIONED TO STARZ for TV!

The sexy second installment in the Inside Out erotic romance trilogy, following If I Were You—in the seductive tradition of Fifty Shades of Grey.  


Fascinated by the dark fantasies in the journals she’s discovered, and the two men who have now found a place in her life, Sara McMillan finds herself torn between her new life and her past. Now, more than ever, Sara identifies with the lost journal writer, Rebecca, and is certain that something sinister has happened. 

In the arms of the sexy, tormented artist Chris Merit, Sara seeks answers about Rebecca and ends up discovering things about herself she never knew existed. Chris forces Sara to reconsider who she is and what she truly wants from life, but not before his dark desires threaten to tear them apart. Her boss, Mark Compton, offers her the shelter to understand just what those needs mean to her, and what they might have meant to Rebecca, but can she trust him to lead her to a final conclusion to Rebecca’s story?

  ixeos reb 

Blurb from author ~
With rebel leader Darian free at last, the humans and outsiders on Ixeos must find a way to join forces and defeat the Firsts. The problem? All slaves are tracked with GPS, the Firsts are the only ones with power, and roving gangs hate the rebels just as much as they hate the aliens. As Darian and the outsiders from Earth travel the globe through the mysterious tunnels in Paris, they learn that the Firsts are preparing to launch another wave of biological warfare. With a transporter that will allow the aliens to target any city, anywhere on the planet, the rebels know they must stop them at all costs. As things get more dangerous on Ixeos, the outsiders find that they're pushed to their limit. Will they fight for freedom, no matter the price?

Excerpt & Spotlight On A Gift From Fate by Layna Pimentel




Quote-Tastic #10 You my dear sir have succumbed to her wiles.


Anna at Herding Cats & Burning Soup has created a new weekly meme. Want to join along? 


  Click on the link above. Anna is posting hers on Mondays, as am I, but you can choose any day of the week that works for you. Leave me a link in your comment and I will check out your quotes!

I love the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs, love love love it. Have I mentioned that I love it? :D This is from Bone Crossed, book number four. Mercy and her fiance Adam, a werewolf alpha, are talking on the phone.


"Ghosts and cats, Bran says," I told him, "But my cat likes Stefan."
"Your cat likes anyone she can convince to pet her." Something about the way he said it-a caress in his voice-made me suspicious. I listened carefully and heard it, a faint purr.
"She likes you anyway," I said. "How'd she talk you into letting her into your house again?"
"She yowled at the back door." He sounded sheepish. I'd never seen or heard of a cat that would associate with werewolves or coyotes until Medea announced her presence at the door of my shop. Dogs will-and so will most livestock-but not cats. Medea loves anyone who will pet her...or has the potential to pet her. Not unlike some people I know.
"She's playing you and Samuel off each other," I informed him. "and you, my dear sir, have succumbed to her wiles."
"My mother warned me about succumbing," he said meekly. "You'll have to save me from myself. When I have you to pet, I won't need her."
ROWWWR! Have you read this series yet? It's AWESOME!
