She could save the world—or destroy it.

Sixteen-year-old Evangeline "Evie" Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they're still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.

But she can't do either alone.

With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can't totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?

Who can Evie trust?

As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it's not always clear who is on which side.

In Seamless, Stella has no choice but to step into the ring with someone who she once loved. It's a dirty fight that will take all she has. Will she do what it takes to win? Will she make it out alive?

The Desert Was Never Hotter... 
Pride and passion vie for supremacy in this steamy re-telling of E.M. Hull's romance classic. 
A haughty young heiress for whom the world is a playground…A savage son of the Sahara who knows no law but his own…When pride and passion vie for supremacy, blistering desert days are nothing compared to sizzling Sahara nights…
"There will be inquiries." I choked out. "I am not such a nonentity that nothing will be done when I am missed. You will pay for what you have done."
"Pay?" His amused look sent a cold feeling of dread through me. "I have already paid… in gold that matches your hair, my gazelle. Besides," he continued, "the French Government has no jurisdiction over me. There is no authority here above my own." My trepidation was growing by the minute. "Why have you done this? Why have you brought me here?" 
"Why?" He repeated with a slow and heated appraisal that made me acutely, almost painfully, conscious of my sex. "Bon Dieu! Are you not woman enough to know?"

Thoughts:

Heat and passion collide with strong wills in The Sheik Retold. Vane rewrites Hull’s classic into a sensation.

Recipe for Attraction by Gina Gordon (Guest Post/Giveaway)

 

Please give a warm welcome today to the fabulous Gina Gordon, joining us today with her recent release of Recipe for Attraction. You can see Shannon's review of this title >here<. 

Christmas is not Christmas without a drink.

I know what you’re thinking, Christmas is supposed to be about spending time with the people you love and celebrating the birth of Christ…and let’s not forget the exchanging of presents.

While I love decorating my house and putting up the tree—and for the record, there is something to be said for sitting in the dark with only the tree lights and a warm cup of tea—Christmas can sometimes get a little stressful. Between travelling to three sets of parents, keeping your bank book in check after buying presents, and spending way too much time in the kitchen for a meal that only lasts ten minutes, I am definitely in need of some alcohol ☺
