 Hailing from Washington, DC, Elene Sallinger first caught the writing bug in 2004 after writing and illustrating several stories for her then four-year-old daughter. Her writing career has encompassed two award-winning children's stories, a stint as a consumer-education advocate, as well as writing her debut novel, Awakening - a novel of erotic fiction that won the New Writing Competition at the Festival of Romance 2011.

She is a lover of all things lingual, a warrior of words, and a vixen of vocabulary. Her goal is to titillate, provoke, empower and move you with her work which ranges from the erotic to the dramatic and everything in between.

Bridget Ross is a woman with a shameful secret. Despite a life full of success and close friends she denies herself her true desires in penance for the crimes she can't take back.

Connor Reynolds is a man without a purpose. His own tragic past prevents him from putting down roots and pursuing his dreams.

Their paths collide forcing them to face the ultimate question … is their love worth fighting for?

Blurb:

Who said tempting a sweet Southern belle would be easy?

When rebel biker Bullworth Clayton gets tangled up with pastel-and-pearls-clad April Church, sparks fly. Sure, April would clearly rather work with anyone else, but if teaming up with Bull means a successful charity event for a sick little boy they both care about, then so be it.

April is baffled at how drawn she is to the leather-wearing, tattooed Bull—he just doesn’t fit with her simple, safe, country-club life. And as much as the handsomely rugged man tempts her, she still can’t shake the images of the tragic motorcycle accident from her past, which left her scarred and her father broken.

Bull tempts her to don a pair of leather pants and go for a ride with him, while April desperately tries to resist her attraction to the wild side and keep her exploits hidden from her small town. Will they be able to navigate their differences and find a middle road to love?

Wild West Succubus by Lila Shaw Spotlight with Giveaway ~Kami

Wild West Succubus by Lila Shaw http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18165419-wild-west-succubus?from_search=true Blurb:  Erotic Romance with a Splash of Humor The West has never been so wild! A determined gargoyle is on the hunt, but he didn’t count on falling for the beautiful succubus he was sent to destroy. She'll never be tamed or broken, but can she be saved? A woman damned…  Priscilla Goodnight, a widow in the harsh Kansas frontier, has a cattle ranch to run. She can’t afford to reveal any cracks in her tough exterior or indulge in sexual liaisons with her ranch hands. But a hungry succubus can only exercise so much self-restraint, making discretion, disguise and memory-wiping her top managerial skills. The mysterious stranger who knows her darkest secret…  Priscilla doesn't remember hiring the man with the wily smile and the flannel voice. At all. Men as physically appealing as Hugo Desmond rarely escape her bed, let alone her memory. And how is he able to move so fast, yet nobody notices but her? Is she his target, his mission or his bait?  Hugo is a gargoyle—a specially-trained executioner—sent to purge the west of evil. With succubi falling squarely in demon territory, Priscilla has every reason to fear him … yet she can't stay away. Hugo says he needs her help and wants to save her soul. But is redemption possible for a woman as wicked as Priscilla, or will love thaw her heart just enough for Hugo to crush it? Excerpt: A few of the men are laughing and eating breakfast, but as soon as I walk in, they grow silent … mostly. “Morning, Miss Priscilla. Did you sleep well?” Fred asks, his last words ending with a snicker. Most of the other men snicker too, all but Hugo, that is. He probably doesn’t know the rest well enough to be privy to their secrets. Jesse slaps Gray on the back and Gray grins. Speaking through a mouth full of half-chewed biscuits, Gray says, “I slept like a titty baby myself.” The others snort back their laughter. Hugo’s forehead furrows as he glances around the table. I sigh. I don’t know why I expected better from Gray. But little boys must be taught their lessons, and the first one is don’t fuck with a succubus who holds your soul in hock. After giving each man a smile in turn, I close my eyes and yank on Gray’s tether. He keels over and falls face first into the puddle of gravy on his plate. “What the … Gray?” Jesse lifts Gray’s face from the plate and shoves him back against his chair, wide-eyed but unseeing. Mr. Yao’s savory sauce drips in long slimy strings from Gray’s nose. “Gray?” Jesse slaps Gray on the face a few times. Gray isn’t home anymore. I slurp the last bits of his soul’s life-force in and breathe deeply as it spreads throughout every inch of my body. I am energized, immortal, powerful, and pissed off. Hugo skewers me with his gaze, cold and hard. “Are you sure you want to do that? May raise more questions than it solves.” What the hell is he talking about? Fuck him! Fuck all of them! One by one, starting with Jesse, I lock gazes with each man around the table. As I ransack their recent memories, their expressions transform from mirth to horror to incoherent. The two newer hands I’ve never had to mind-wipe before—Winston and Jasper—fall asleep. The older hands will slowly regain their wits with what have been called devilishly hideous headaches. If any of them think they can take to their beds sick today, they’re dead wrong. Hugo watches the entire proceedings, and when I get to him, my last target, he presses his lips into a thin line and resists my trespass into his mind. Those glacial blue eyes of his frost over and then seal shut, expelling me and slamming the door in my face. How the hell is he able to do that? With a snap of Hugo’s fingers, all motion, except his and mine, ceases. The clock stops ticking. A napkin casually tossed hovers an inch above the table’s surface. Mouths are frozen mid-word. Arms float rigidly in the air, and eyes stare blankly. “Think, Pris,” Hugo repeats. His jaw is rigid, and his hands are curled into fists. I stop trying to force my way inside Hugo’s mind. “Wh-what’s going on?” I wave a hand in front of Fred’s face, nearly threatening to put his eye out, but he doesn’t flinch, doesn’t even blink. I shove my chair away from the table and jump to my feet. “What kind of sorcery is this?” Hugo slowly raises his eyes to mine. In measured words he says, “Give Gray back his soul.” “I need it.” “No.” He shakes his head. “You don’t.” “He deserved what he got!” “No. He didn’t. All you needed to do was mind-wipe him, just like the others. Sucking him dry is excessive. You don’t have to go that far. Besides that, we’re kinda short-handed. Do you really want to fall behind this time of year? Think about how hard it will be to find a replacement.” The horror of this man’s cognizance of what I am grips me. “Who are you? What are you?” I take a few steps back, wondering if I should flee. He lifts his eyes to mine. “I’m someone you should be very afraid of.” “Afraid? Of you?” I throw my head back and laugh dramatically, just like those ladies on the stage. “Oh, little big man. I’m not afraid of any man.” But I am afraid of this one. Authors Bio: Lila Shaw is the pen name for a wee hours author of erotica and erotic romance.

Two men, Joey and Thomas are robbing a store for $266. An old man watches and giggles at the antics of the thieves. The old man, Louis is very strange, Joey is crazy and Thomas just follows along with Joey, even though he doesn't seem to be all that bad. Louis starts telling the pair a story. The story building is really good, the pacing is good, the characters are interesting. You aren't sure in the beginning what is going on or what is going to happen. The suspense and feelings of uncertainty are very palpable making this an interesting read that hooks you from the beginning and holds your attention. This story reads like a Stephen King story. It also reminded me of the movie The Usual Suspects where you don't know what is really going on until the end. 4 stars

Blurb: 

Eighteen-year-old Ally Watson arrives home from high school graduation, more than a little annoyed that her Uncle Argyle—Ally’s legal guardian and only surviving relative—didn’t even bother showing up.  But instead of berating him for his forgetfulness, Ally finds him in a life-or-death battle with a monster. Argyle manages to kill the creature, and gives Ally a parcel containing a destiny she never knew existed.
 

Ally, along with her best friends Michael, Jessica, and David, hurry to Georgia to uncover the truth of Uncle Argyle’s secrets, and the meaning of the mysterious marks that Ally bears. Are the marks related to the blacksmith mythology of her ancestors? Who are these heavenly warriors who show up in the oddest of places? And will an ancient gypsy curse destroy the very things Ally fights to save?   

Black Amaranth: a simple flower, a symbol with an ancient legacy, a conduit for prophecy…while faith and hope are essential to the journey, Ally soon discovers that love is the most powerful force of all.

About this author

By age 5, Sasha Hibbs' favorite movie was Gone With the Wind. By age 12, she completed her 7th grade book report on the sequel, Scarlett. By 18, she met and married her very own Mr. Rhett Butler and as it turns out, she never had to worry about going back to Tara to win the love of her life back. Fortunately, he stuck with her.

With a love of all things paranormal, the ambiance of the South with its gigantic antebellum mansions and canopies of Spanish moss, and a love for her husband’s rich storytelling of blacksmiths and the mythology surrounding their origins, it wasn’t long until the world of her debut novel, Black Amaranth, was born.

When not working her day job as a nurse, you can find Sasha dreaming of her next beach trip, reading the latest YA novel, and drinking more white chocolate mocha than she should.

Sasha lives in mountainous West Virginia with her husband, Tim, and their two daughters, Aeliza and Ava. She is currently hard at work on book two in The Vulcan Legacies series.

Winter wants to be a romance writer but doesn't know enough about romance because she isn't interested in being in a relationship. Winter's nickname is the Ice Queen. Cade is a millionaire cowboy who wants to be an architect. Then they meet in the airport on the way to Paris, where they are attending the same school. There are a couple of really awful side stories that made me just shake my head because such terrible things had happened to the characters. They have serious emotional journeys throughout the story. Winter is a bit wishy washy. I was getting a bit annoyed by her constant “Le Sigh”. Of the two of them, I liked Cade better. Winter gets herself into a lot of funny and embarrassing situations. It was kind of sweet watching as Cade and Winter fall in love. Cade is very sweet and gentle. His story with his family was very sad and had me on the verge of tears. 4 stars.

 No one knows my secret. Ever since high school, ever since I started living in fear, no one has known the true me. But then I met him, and I couldn't hide anymore.

He became my hero, saving me from the villain of my past. He became my friend, his smile a blanket of warmth. And he scared me. Because he, this beautiful man, he might become more. Then he'd see the real me, and I couldn't let that happen.

My name is Winter, and what I desire most I can't have.

Flashes of the night I was drugged rush back to me. His strong arms carrying me through the streets of Paris. The feel of his heart beating as my head rested against his chest. The soft press of his lips against my forehead when he thought I was asleep.

Oh shit. I'm falling for the cowboy. Cade.

But we can't be anything more. He has his own secrets. His own darkness he keeps hidden, like the letter he keeps with him everywhere he goes.

The letter he refuses to open.

22 year-old Grant is destined to be a satellite or a guardian angel but all he wants to do is to get back to the woman he loves, Tate. After Grant dies, his body reverts to an 18 year-old. There are Tragedies, Schedulers and Legacies. From chapter one I didn't like Grant. He is seriously annoying. Also, I didn't like that the writing is riddled with cliches. I don't like stories that after a person dies, they are put to work. I don't want to spend my afterlife paper pushing like I did in life. I would hope that my afterlife is better than my humdrum existence while alive, not worse. This story just wasn't working for me in the beginning but half way through there is an interesting plot twist that drew me into the story and redeemed it for me. 4 stars.
