Blurb:

Being a human in a parish filled with shifters, Colette Robicheaux has learned to be tough as nails. She’s a hunter with the kind of lethal skills that make most men nervous, but all it takes is a single hot look from Zachary Trahan to make her melt into a puddle of goo. And this tiger shifter doesn’t fight fair, using his hot body and his many skills in the kitchen to melt her panties. But there’s a danger in the swamps that threatens to tear them apart, an evil that could turn this hunter into prey.

When chef Zachary Trahan took a break from work to hunt, the last thing he expected to find was his mate. A human huntress with a hot temper, a quick trigger finger and the kind of body destined to keep him up at nights, Colette makes his tiger purr. He’ll have to fight his stubborn mate, her impossible family and the threat hiding in the swamps before he can finally claim her for his own.



Excerpt

The loaded rifle cradled in her capable hands didn’t waver once while he stared at her. The muscles of her arms stood out as she took the weight of the weapon, but she didn’t seem strained. This was a strong, dangerous woman. She didn’t seem afraid to be faced with a tiger that outweighed her by several hundred pounds. If anything, she seemed almost bored.

“You’re trespassing,” she said suddenly, her voice calm and collected. “And don’t try to act like you don’t understand me. Tigers aren’t indigenous to south Louisiana.” She lifted the rifle up to align the sight with her eye. “So why don’t you tell me what you’re doing here trying to steal my kill, furboy.”

Zach was in love. Well, no, not in love. He didn’t do love. He did lust. His tiger, on the other hand, wanted to knock her to the ground and lick her from head to toe. Idiot fucking cat. It liked the fact that she was threatening him. Shifter females didn’t do that. They all rolled over way too easily, giving in to him before he’d even decided what he wanted from them. This human, who should have been pissing herself in fear, wasn’t scared of him, wasn’t intimidated by his size and looked as though she couldn’t care less if he walked out of the swamp or was carried out in a body bag. Strike that, she was a Robicheaux. She probably knew exactly how to skin and dispose of his body in such a way that no one would ever find his bones.

Bio:
Danica Avet was born and raised in the wilds of South Louisiana (that would be somewhere around Houma) where mosquitoes are big enough to carry off small children and there are only two seasons: hot and hotter. With a BA in History, she figured there were enough fry cooks in the world and decided to try her hand at writing.

Danica is the lucky pet of a compulsively needy dog and two cats. The pitter-patter of little feet has been known to make her break out into a cold sweat.

Writing is how she gives the voices in her head a way out. When she isn’t writing, working or contemplating the complexities of the universe, she spends time gathering inspiration from her insane family, reads far more than any sane person would want to, and watches hot burly men chase an oblong ball all over a field.

Blurb:

After her mother’s sudden death, Ryanne Myers is home again. It has been fifteen years since she escaped Mount Pleasant and everyone and everything in it. Now she must oversee the closing of her mother’s affairs.

The only bright spot is Ryanne’s blossoming friendship with boarder CJ Richter. Ryanne senses that CJ just might be her soul mate, but the handsome excavator is somewhat of a standoffish loner.

After an unthinkable event, Ryanne’s life spins out of control, and she must deal not only with her grasping, selfish sister, but also a manipulative, wannabe suitor. CJ offers Ryanne a way out, but at what price? Beware: Everyone has secrets in Mount Pleasant…And they enjoy them!
Drama, romance, mystery, and murder, all centered around a little town. THE GOOD SISTER is an outstanding debut novel from Amielise Gable. Ms. Gable presents the reader with a unique love story with a cast of endearing  yet almost  misfits, who each have their own foibles as well as qualities that make them dear to the reader’s heart.
5 Stars TOP PICK
Night Owl Romance



Excerpt 

CJ awoke in total darkness and instinctively knew he wasn’t alone. The heaviness of sleep coupled with flu didn’t detract his sense of knowing someone was with him. “Ryanne?”

When she didn’t answer, he reached out into the darkness, but no one was there. “Where are you?” he asked. When she didn’t answer, he tried to sit up, but two hands held his bare shoulders to the bed.

“Rest,” a voice whispered.

Reaching to capture her hands, she slipped away. “Ryanne…”

“Why are you calling me Ryanne?” the velvet voice purred.

“I must be dreaming”.

“You’re in the middle of a cemetery full of hundreds of souls. Why would you be surprised if I was one of them?” the voice asked.

Now he was certain he was dreaming. After so many years of excavating graves, he never once had anything like this happen. Now on his last job, the spirit of one of the bodies he disturbed had awoken from her sleep, and was now in the room with him.

It was ludicrous, he knew. In the morning this would all be just a hazy memory. “Who are you? Tell me so I can find you.”

“No one, no one at all, just a dream.”

“Nah, you’re some kind of angel. I just don’t know if you’re a sweet angel or one who’s come to tear my eyes out.”


He felt her warm breath on his face, followed by her lips pressing against his forehead. He seized the opportunity to fork his hand through her long, soft hair. A consuming feel of arousal swelled within him. Celibacy and illness be damned. “Stay with me tonight.”

Book 2: Always and Forever
Blurb:
An alpha wolf, and an alpha panther—both of which are hot, sexy, brick walls of ooh-la-la wrapped up in "yes please, give me more"—decide to pursue Giselle Shalay, things explode in a supernova of desire and need. She is torn between what her body craves and what her mind protests. She is a free-spirited, independent witch who could never succumb to the role of an obedient, mindless, submissive wife. Aiden Grey refuses to share Giselle, whether Brandon Knight is meant to mate her or not. Brandon tries to show him reason, but any discussions end up in blows. When push comes to shove, he turns to his pack and declares war against the panthers in a fight to win her hand.
Can they come to terms with what fate has dealt and work together in convincing Giselle that her place is with them, or will egos and misconceived ideas keep destiny from joining their hearts forever?
Excerpt

He strolled over to her and prepared to jump on the couch beside her when her arm caught him and left him on the floor. “Oh, no you don’t. No animals on the furniture.”

“Yeah, we don’t need the place smelling like dog and black hair clinging to our clothes. Down, dumb dog.” Brandon grinned from ear to ear.

“So does that make you Garfield, Brandon?” She smiled in amusement.

Aiden turned to face him and snarled his teeth. Both Brandon and Giselle burst out in laughter.
Aiden rubbed his face against her legs, marking her with his scent. She patted him on the head, snickering at his territorial claim. “So, is this your way of asking me out?” His big tongue came up and licked her cheek, creating more giggles.

“Geez, Aiden. Quit slobbering all over her.” His nose wrinkled up in distaste. Aiden narrowed his eyes into glowing, green slits before doing his best to roll his eyes.

Brandon grinned. He reached down and patted him on the head before reaching back and scratching behind his ear. “Aw, you’re a good puppy.” Aiden playfully snapped at his hand. “Hey! Watch it, Fido.”

Bio:

Shae Shannon was born in California where she lived until the age of 13.  Her family decided to uproot and move to a small town in Oklahoma.  It was fate, Karma, or coincidence that had put both Shae and her future husband on the paths of destiny and love.  She spotted him in the back of a pickup truck while cruising town, his hot sexiness capturing her attention and her heart.  One introduction later and she knew that he was her soul mate.  Dustin was also from California, and had grown up only 30 miles from her.

After marriage, Dustin joined the Army.  They spent 9 years in northern New York and 4 years in Georgia. He served 3 tours overseas, and numerous stateside training exercises. It was during the long, stressful, lonesome deployments that Shae found she could escape into imagination and majestically teleport into juicy books. Her most prized gift came in the form of a kindle, sent from her husband in Iraq.  She quickly filled her digital library, and adds to it every week.

They are blessed with three kids ages 16, 10, and 5. Two dogs, a hamster, and a fish make for a chaotic crazy daily routine that Shae handles like a pro, and with a lot of humor.

Needing to branch out more, Shae picked up her laptop and began to write, allowing her boisterous imagination to fly.  After what seemed like an eternity, she finally created her first novel that soon became published by Siren Publishing.  She was finally on the path of her dreams of becoming an author.

Shae currently lives Oklahoma, where the tea is sweet, the grass is green, and people still say ma’am and thank you.  Every summer, they load up the family and head for the lake for swimming and fishing. There is not a water park or swimming pool in the world that could ever compare to a rope swing and a floaty.  The only thing that will change is that Shae will be scribbling and writing as she floats on the water and works on her tan.
