<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A while back I read a book, which hooked me in right from
the very first page. I was reading the prologue and after two pages of it, I
was like WOW; I have never read anything so beautiful. A book’s prologue is the
first thing that tells me for sure whether or not I am going to like it. For me
a prologue is the first few pages of description that sets the tone and mood
for the entire book. If we go for a formal definition then,</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>Thank you for giving me the most amazing
memories. My life growing up was so full because you were in it. Having your
love and loving you was always just right. It made sense. You were my home.
When I was with you I knew everything would be okay. </i><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><br />
You dried my tears for me when I was sad. You held my hand when we buried my
mother. You made me laugh when the world seemed like it was falling apart. You
were every special memory a girl could have. That first kiss will forever be
embedded in my brain. It was as funny as it was sweet. </i><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><br />
Our life together molded me into the woman I’ve become. I understand what it
feels like to be loved and cherished because I had that with you. I never
doubted my worth because you taught me I was worthy.
</i><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i>When you said that one day I would heal I
didn’t believe that was possible. Life couldn’t go one without my best friend.
There was no room for another guy in my heart. It turns out you were right. You
always were. I found him. He is incredible. He is nothing at all like I would
have planned. He doesn’t fit into a perfect package. He managed to wiggle into
my heart and take over before I knew what was happening. I found that happiness
you told me would come along. I’m going to go live that life. I’m sure it will
be a wilder ride than I ever imagined and I can’t wait to live it. He’s my home
now. I’ll always love you. I’ll never forget you. But this is my goodbye.
I wasn’t ready before to let you go. Now, I can move on. Your memory will live
on in my heart always. </i><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style=" line-height: 19px;">Sabrina Scott, Blaire's chief rival, is alive - and she's out for revenge. She's resurrected the terror network Al Jabbar, and is racing to get her hands on a nuclear weapon to be used in an attack on the United States. Even worse, the mysterious terrorist mastermind, Shahryar, is anticipating the CIA's every move, and helping to protect Sabrina so she can bring about her dastardly plan.</span><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><span style=" line-height: 19px;">As the CIA is dealing with this threat, Blaire has been put on the sidelines, asked to help train a new generation of DIVAs - deep cover agents trained in the art of seduction and sexual manipulation. Project Cathouse has been restarted, this time in Las Vegas. But Blaire is now the teacher, not the student.</span><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><span style=" line-height: 19px;">Her task is to mentor five of the new male recruits, each one presenting their own unique challenge - especially the mysterious Hunter Black. But beyond that, she's now a role model for the new female DIVAs, and the ambitious Katya Jones is out to prove she's better than Blaire ever was. The warning signs are there, and now Blaire needs to prevent Katya from turning into another Sabrina, and help keep Hunter from becoming another duplicitous Drummond Scott - the man who betrayed Blaire and tried to kill her.</span><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><span style=" line-height: 19px;">But her training efforts are quickly sidelined when Diego Escarra, a deadly enforcer for the Colombian drug cartels, arrives in town with information not only about Sabrina's impending attack, but possibly the identity of Shahryar himself. But Diego also brings with him an even bigger threat - one which could destroy everyone in the Cathouse if it's not exposed. And the only one who can get close enough to stop him is Blaire - that is, if Sabrina and Drummond don't kill her first.</span><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><span style=" line-height: 19px;">The danger has never been greater. The stakes have never been higher. This time, saving the world is going to take more than a Hooker Spy... </span><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><span style=" line-height: 19px;">It's going to require a Professional Bitch.</span><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><br style=" line-height: 19px;" /><span style=" line-height: 19px;">Book 3 of the Cathouse Series is a shocking, entertaining, and sexually-fueled spy thriller unlike any readers have ever before experienced. Discover the twists that occur after the events of A Hooker Spy, and what it really means to be a Professional Bitch.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In this third instalment of the cathouse series, we see
Blaire going back to the cathouse to train a new batch of DIVAs, this time in
Las Vegas. It’s super-hot and all the spy stuff is just off the roof.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Blaire is the new instructor in the new Cathouse along with Rae
and almost all of the gang from the original cathouse. This book had so much
going for it in terms of plot and sex quotient. When it comes to sexiness, I
think the five new baby DIVAs Blaire gets to mentor takes the cake. She falls
in love with all of them as part of their training. Introducing five new
characters, making them different and unique from each other, and carrying on
individual romances with the same heroine… THAT was AWESOME. Each character
special and different, and had him his own arc and romance with Blaire. Each
mentee embodies a stereotypical romance novel character. You have the
“sexy cowboy,” you have the “rough and tumble bad boy,” you have the “witty
prankster,” the “sensitive and soulful artist,” and then of course you have the
“ridiculously sexy rich guy with control issues and a dark secret.” So
there is literally something for every female reader in this book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book has probably single-handedly given every woman who
reads this book a FUPA (“Fat Upper Pelvis Area)complex! I liked the idea
that these trainees could kinda get into Blaire’s head and make her
self-conscious, because it was a good way to set up this notion that she had
her work cut out for her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Katya was an interesting character. In my head, I was
thinking “Sabrina 2.0” when she was introduced, and I really didn’t like
her. But then, as the book went on, she redeems herself and she becomes a
really likable character. I was surprised I had such a strong reaction to
her death. I guess I didn’t realize how much I came to care about her as
a character. The author shined a light on the characters that readers tended
not to like and made them a bit more sympathetic. The books have a theme that
a woman is never really a bitch, she just doesn’t know any other way of expressing
her .<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In this book we see that Shahryar is dominating as the bad
guy. The threat of this bad guy has become very real as Blaire loses the people
closest to her because of his evil schemes. Book 1 had no real life-or-death
stakes to it. And though Shahryar was manipulating events in book 2, the
real threat there came from Daddy Sayeed. This was the book where
Shahryar got real, and begin to illustrate the kind of destruction he is
willing to unleash. And when we reach the end, and it is revealed who this
shahryar person really is I WAS OUT OF MY FREAKING MIND. I mean I was already
having intutions that it was going to be someone close to Blaire but HOLY
SMOKES never ever in my wildest dreams I dreamt of THAT. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the things I really liked in this book is that we did
get to see a different side of Sabrina and Drummond’s relationship. I
felt like I got answered a lot of questions I had about them and how they felt
about Blaire. We saw Sabrina and Drummond’s journey as flashback chapters.
After reading those I realised that what Blaire had with Drummond was never
meant to last. But what Drummond has with Sabrina is real, even if
neither of them recognises it. These characters are broken in some way,
and they’re in pain, yet on some level, they make each other happy. But
they’re both so used to being scared, and angry, and miserable, they don’t know
how to recognize that happiness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I freaking love this series. It’s so different from anything
I have ever read. To me, they’re more espionage tales. Every character
has a secret, or a motivation, that eventually is tied to life and death
consequences. To me, that’s more interesting than a simple love story.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Fast. </span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Falling in love with the broken girl who had at first seemed immune to anything resembling love was the best thing to happen to Jesse since the Walkers adopted him when he was five. </span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">As Jesse’s life continues at the ranch and Rowen begins making her mark in the Seattle art community, they wonder where the middle ground is.

Rowen can maintain their long distance relationship. Jesse is needed on the
ranch while Rowen is becoming a rising artist in the Seattle city life. Long
distance relationships aren’t easy, but they are making it work. Every few
weeks Jesse drives to Seattle, or Rowen takes the Greyhound to Montana. It’s
not ideal, but it’s okay.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

away from the only place she ever considered home – Willow Springs. Her love
for Jesse grounds her, keeps her from reverting back to the scared and angry
little girl that she once was, but knowing he has been and always would be the
light at the end of the tunnel she used to live in, makes her constantly
fearful of losing him, of him finding someone better than her, almost expecting
it to happen sooner or later. She loves him with all her heart, but her
self-destructive tendencies resurface at times, convincing her that she would
eventually end up destroying the little piece of heaven she has found with
Jesse.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But
all is not well!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Jesse
is secretly fighting his own demons while away from Rowen. His self-control is
failing him, nightmares from his childhood have returned and his anxiety and
fear of losing the love of his life are rearing their ugly heads at night, when
he’s most vulnerable, and torturing him with flashbacks from his abuse-ridden
childhood. His mind has equated the fear of losing Rowen to the fear he
experienced as a little boy at the hands of two cruel parents.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: white;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Jesse really struggles with his past in this
book. He may seem like he has it all together, but when his nightmares start to
surface, plus the distance between he and Rowen is starting to get to him... it
is a recipe for disaster. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<b><i>"I
realized that our past never leaves us. We might think we've left it behind,
but that's when it sneaks up and beats the hell out of you. Our past is always
a part of us..."</i></b><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Hearing about Jesse’s past really just broke my
heart. I know that the author touched on it in book one, but to hear the
details... it’s intense. He wants to shield Rowen from it. The more they
struggle as a couple with distance and time apart, the more Jesse’s mind turns
against itself and convinces him that the woman he adores is better off without
someone as unstable as him in her life.</span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<b><i>“I
don’t want her to know. I don’t want her to be a part of it. I don’t want her
near it. I want her as far away from the poison flowing through me as I can
keep her.”</i></b><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Jesse
has always been there for Rowen. He’s been her calm, her constant, her
strength. Now, it’s time for her to return the favour. </span><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Jesse isn't the only
person who's grown. Garth, yes the jerk we see in L&F, while still snarky
and sarcastic, is a huge friend to both Jesse and Rowen. He is freaking
hilarious, but it is obvious he is deeper than he initially appears and he
feels more than he lets on. I love that he and Jesse have tenuously mended
fences in this book. Garth has a unique way of looking at the world and his own
way of protecting those he cares about.</span> I loved that he plays a big part
in helping Jesse and Rowen's relationship. I really cannot wait for his book to
come out next year. <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">You wouldn’t think it, but he gives good advice...</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
</span><b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: white;">"I don't know much about these kinds
of things, but it seems like you don't fall out of love with someone because of
their fuck ups. It seems like if you really love someone, you love them in
spite of their fuck ups."<br />
<br />
“So you messed up. Big time. So you messed up big time. We all do. It’s time to
start practicing what you preach and forgive yourself. If any guy deserves a
second chance, it’s you, Jess.”</span> </span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><span style="color: white;">
“That’s what I would have done. I’d keep the truth from someone if I thought it
would save them some pain.”</span></span></i></b><i><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">All our old favorite
characters are back, and we also meet four new people ( a couple of them made
my blood boil) who all play a pretty large part in the story... Alex, Rowen’s
roommate (LOVED her)</span>; Jolene, what a bitch!!! I wanted to reach in my
Kindle and slap the shit out of her; rowen’s TA, Jax, I found him to be an
egotistical douche and I did not like him;<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and
Mar, a homeless woman Rowen befriends (don’t even want to think about her).<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In N&F, the
split between Rowen and Jesse's POV is a huge plus in my eyes because, if you've
read Lost and Found, finding out and learning what goes on in that
philosophical/deep mind that Jesse has become my top priority. In L&F we
saw Rowen grow out of her shell and become a confident and determined person.
In N&F we see not only a growth in the couple's relationship, but also a
personal growth in Jesse. We see Jesse learn to trust himself as well as Rowen
to make their situation work.</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">If you’re
looking for a series written with heart, impeccable skill and capable of

<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">In this book we
will see that loving someone isn't always easy from a distance even with
compromises. Sometimes love isn't enough when you let your head mess with you.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> </span>At the end of the day, when
it's all said and done, is the love and bond these two have strong enough to

<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lets be honest here...we all have fallen in love with at least one book boyfriend. What is it that makes our books' Mr Tall dark and Handsome so swoon worthy. Whether he's our typical bad boy or the charming chocolaty boy-next-door, the way they love their princess/angel, steals our breath and makes our heart go racing.</span></span><br />

surfer boy hair and piercing blue eyes. He also has a few tattoos. But the guy
is a player. Everytime she sees him he is sporting a new chick on his arm lap
or wherever else they can hang off him at.<span class="apple-converted-space"> He
falls for Harper but doesn’t feel he’s good enough for her. He’s every girl’s

wonderful qualities and is most definitely the type of man any woman would be
lucky to have. Not only did he have the looks to kill, but he was also selfless
and forgiving. A man who never backed down, even when life knocked him to his
knees. Unfortunately though, his honesty and faithfulness was taken advantage
of in the worst kind of way. I really respected his character.<span class="apple-converted-space"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

It was heart breaking, left me breathless, I

NO!!! There has to be some error in my book. </strong>I won’t give out
much, because the suspense is mad. And I have to admit after reading it and
suffering through a complete shock, I pushed through and made myself continue
on with the rest of the story And I’m definitely glad that I did because I felt
like the ending and everything that happened after that incident really helped
to get my mind off of the sheer horribleness of what had happened. I’m all
about happy endings, and the author definitely did a good job wrapping the
story up in the best way possible after what had happened.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

totally loved that, but it did kind of make the ending drag on. Maybe by that
point I was just too emotionally exhausted, but I feel it could have been
edited and trimmed down just a bit. Not that I am complaining. This book is so

the family she lost, 17 year old Skye Martin is tired of being alone and
afraid. After a hard night of partying, Skye wakes up alone in an unfamiliar
hotel. All she can remember is the deep voice of her rescuer and his promise:
“I am safe.”</span><span lang="EN-US"><br />
<br />
Xander has been tasked with watching Skye from
afar for the past two years, in order to keep her safe from the demons that
hunt her. An easy job - until a pair of red glowing eyes reveal themselves to
Skye, and Xander, in a moment of weakness, is forced to break his cover to
protect her.<br />
<br />
Never good at trusting people, Skye is
inexplicably drawn to Xander and the immediate bond she feels for him. However,
Xander is filled with secrets and ties to her past that threaten to thrust Skye
into a world she could never imagine existed…<br />
<br />
As she begins to unravel the truth about who
Xander is and the details surrounding her family, she discovers that she might
just be the key to saving everything...<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
And, most importantly, she finds that there has
always been someone by her side who would never let her fall…</span></b></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lisa Justus' path to becoming an author took a circuitous route through the University of Waterloo where she earned a Bachelor of Mathematics, followed by jobs in quality assurance and technical writing at a high-tech company. With a keen interest in creative fiction, she wrote her first fantasy novel as part of NaNoWriMo as well as an early chapter book for her kids when they were younger. Her YA paranormal fantasy novel Welcome to the Darkness is the first book in the Darkness Trilogy.<br /><br />These days Lisa is busy writing her fourth novel, reading, finishing her basement, doing volunteer work, and trying to stay in shape by running somewhat regularly. She, her husband, and their three children live in Ottawa, Ontario.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">There’s complicated. And there’s Rowen Sterling.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">After numbing pain for the past five years with boys, alcohol, and all-around apathy, she finds herself on a Greyhound bus to nowhere Montana the summer after she graduates high school. Her mom agreed to front the bill to Rowen’s dream art school only if Rowen proves she can work hard and stay out of trouble at Willow Springs Ranch. Cooking breakfast at the crack of dawn for a couple dozen ranch hands and mucking out horse stalls are the last things in the world Rowen wants to spend her summer doing.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Until Jesse Walker saunters into her life wearing a pair of painted-on jeans, a cowboy hat, and a grin that makes something in her chest she’d thought was frozen go boom-boom. Jesse’s like no one else, and certainly nothing like her. He’s the bright and shiny to her dark and jaded.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Rowen knows there’s no happily-ever-after for the golden boy and the rebel girl—happily-right-now is a stretch—so she tries to forget and ignore the boy who makes her feel things she’s not sure she’s ready to feel. But the more she pushes him away, the closer he seems to get. The more she convinces herself she doesn’t care, the harder she falls.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">When her dark secrets refuse to stay locked behind the walls she’s kept up for years, Rowen realizes it’s not just everyone else she needs to be honest with. It’s herself.</span></span><br />

never known how to deal with her. All Rowan wants is to go to art school, so to

out like a sore thumb in wholesome countryside Montana. But for the first time
in her young life, instead of fingers being pointed at her and being labelled a
freak, people are actually taking their time to get to know her and seeing past
her appearance. From barely having a parent who never showed her any love to
suddenly being part of a large family where small demonstrations of love are a
daily occurrence, Rowen is truly out of her element.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

up to the prophecies of being the best. Her life was seemingly
perfect, until tragedy strikes bringing her a loss she's not sure she can

for late night bites with another woman, Lily has to fight to try and
regain what she wants most, love and a happy family.</span><br />

shoulders!” Sunny’s gaze moved from one shoulder to another. Maddie was right,
she was more than sun-kissed. Her shoulders practically glowed. “Oh, chica.
That’s an angry burn you have there. I have some aloe —” Sunny picked up and
put down five different bottles from her dressing table. “—ah, here it is.

<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maddie closed her eyes and
tilted her head to the side. “It’s not that. It feels good on the burn. You
have a gentle touch.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunny chuckled. “Scooch
over a little so I can get your other side.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maddie shifted, lifting her
feet onto the bed and tucking them under her legs Indian style. Sunny guided
her head forward and massaged the aloe along the base of her neck to her
shoulder blades, and down to the edge of the fluffy towel. She bent her knee,
providing an anchor for Maddie to lean upon. Her inner thighs grazed the thick
towel. Sunny closed her eyes and focused not only on Maddie’s sunburned skin,
but also on loosening the muscles along her shoulders and upper back.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I have a confession to
make,” Maddie said quietly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Other than this is the
best massage you’ve ever received?” Sunny snorted.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Mmm. That too. I-I watched
you last night.” Maddie went a few seconds without taking a breath.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunny didn’t waver. “I know
you did. You were outside of my door.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“You knew? Why didn’t you
stop or say something?” Maddie kept her eyes closed but turned her head toward
Sunny as she spoke.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunny added another dab of
aloe to her palm. “I liked that you were watching me. It turned me on that you
enjoyed it too.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Never in my life had I
thought I’d be attracted, you know, sexually to a woman. It’s different with
you. Many things are different with you.” Maddie’s hand trembled as she touched
Sunny’s leg, tracing an imaginary line up and down her calf. The rapid rise and
fall of Maddie’s back matched the pounding in Sunny’s chest.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Silence filled the room.
Sunny had decided against bringing up the episode from the night before unless
Maddie did. Now that it was out in the open, Sunny could find out how Maddie
felt for sure. “Different, how?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“You make me feel so
focused and honest and alive. I’ve never had that with anyone else before.”
Maddie turned and kneeled in front of Sunny. “Would it be forward if I asked
you to kiss me?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunny swallowed hard. “Yes,
but I like forward,” she whispered as she cupped Maddie’s face with her palms.
Dragging her thumb over Maddie’s bottom lip she realized how many times she
wanted to taste her lips and explore her mouth over the past two days. Sunny
lowered her face and brushed her lips once over Maddie’s. She drew back to
study Maddie’s reaction.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Again,” Maddie whispered,
her eyes remained closed.</span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

And why on earth would he think she's taking pictures of him, anyway? Who is he? One thing’s for sure, he’s hot, and incredibly romantic, feeding Natalie’s wounded soul.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Luke Williams just wants the world to give him a break, so seeing yet another camera aimed at his face has him ready to pounce on the beauty behind the lens. When he finds out she has no idea who he is, he's intrigued and more than a little tempted by her. Natalie has a body made for sex, a sassy mouth and Luke can’t get enough of her, but he’s not ready to tell her who he really his.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Natalie is a no nonsense girl who doesn’t do well with lies and secrets. What will happen to this new relationship when she discovers what Luke’s hiding?</span></span><br />

wounded souls finding salvation together, healing one another. Despite being
very sexy, it’s also a beautiful romance and the epilogue is absolutely to die

recommend this book who enjoys a good romance with a healthy dose of sizzling
hot sex.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">Vicki started her writing career somewhat late in life, but can attest to the fact that it is never too late to follow your dreams. Her debut novel was released in 2009, and four books later and another on the way, she doesn't think she will stop any time soon. Her usual genre is historical fiction/historical romance. However, she recently crossed the lines into contemporary romance under the pen name of J.D. Burrows, releasing "Conflicting Hearts." She's been honored as an</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">Award-Winning Finalist in the Fiction: Romance category of The 2012 USA Best Book Awards, sponsored by USA Book News for "Dark Persuasion."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">With Russian blood on her father's side and English on her mother's, she blames her ancestors for the lethal combination in her genes that influence her stories. Tragedy and drama might be found between her pages, but she eventually gives her readers a happy ending.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Rex Randall is the world famous author, known for his Incognito series of books and movies. His main character, Jason Hendrix, has a loyal following around the world, eager to read about his next exploits. This is especially so, since it is widely known that his life is modeled on the real lifestyle of Rex.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">It is an unusual lifestyle, only dreamed of by most. That’s because, in real life, Rex lives with five beautiful women in a polyamorous, non-monogamous relationship. It is also a luxurious lifestyle, fueled by the enormous wealth generated by all those books and movies. They want for nothing and enjoy the many pleasures of life. They work hard, play hard, and rest easy.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">In his series of thriller books, Rex’s alter ego, Jason, is a chameleon-like investigator that assumes numerous identities to pursue his assignments. In order to give the stories an increased level of realism, Rex spends countless months, himself, thoroughly researching key elements of the story concept by accepting assignments in real life and donning various cover identities.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Then, with exacting detail, Rex would be able to convert his actual experiences into an exciting series of scenes for Jason in the novels. It is the distinguishing factor that gives his books that air of authenticity, no matter how unusual the premise.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">In preparation for his next novel, Rex and his five female loves, engage in their reality based research by going undercover and posing as security consultants to the U.S. Secret Service. In the process, they discover the Jericho Secret. </span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">This secret, unknown even to the Secret Service, is so explosive that, if revealed to the world, could put the President of the United States in mortal jeopardy.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I have to thank author Vince Carter to providing me with a complimentary
copy of his book </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">Rex Randall and the Jericho Secret. The concept was very
different than what normally I am used to reading. I have to say it was an
absolute delight reviewing this book.<o:p></o:p></span></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">This
book was a fast-paced, action packed and suspense laced thriller. The real life
suspense novelist, Rex Randall, lives in a polyamorous relationship with five
very attractive women who are experts in their respective fields. Rex as a
novelist writes suspense thriller series with main hero as Jason, a private
investigator who solves very impossible looking cases just like James Bond.<o:p></o:p></span></span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To gather
the story material for his books, Rex and his team doubles as a private
investigation firm researching key elements to give his books a touch of
realism. One such assignment brings him in direct contact with the American
Secret Service where they have to evaluate the proficiency of the secret
services to protect the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House and
other high-ranking officials. Add in the mix the fanatic Jihadi groups with
their secret agenda, and you are having a blast reading it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are
hell lot of characters in this story. I had a hard time remembering each and
every character and many times had to go back a few pages to remind myself of
certain characters whenever a reference was made. Normally, I like my books to
have fewer characters so that I could connect with them, which just wasn’t
possible here. Although as I came towards the end, I had much easier time and
by the end of it, totally fell for Rex and his five dolls.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">She flung
her hands up in the air as she answered me. “Yes, I feel something
strange! This whole thing is
strange!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">Placing
my finger on her lips, I shook my head in frustration. “Skye, what do you feel here?” I asked again,
pointing to her chest. “How do you
feel?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">She
stood for a moment with her lips lightly pressed to my finger, slowly closing
and reopening her eyes. There was a
sheen to them that spoke of unshed tears, and as she raised her hand to pull
mine away from her mouth, I saw her fingers tremble when she whispered, “I can’t deal with this,
Xander.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">“Yes,
Skye - you can and you will,” I warned her.
“This is going to happen whether you want it to or not. I told you that I’m safe, and I…” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Garamond","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Courier New";">Skye
broke into hysterical laughter at that.
“Safe? You’re telling me that a
legion of demons is after me and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. How in your book does that equal <i>safe</i>?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

don’t know me, Skye, and you don’t know Rioden and… what <i>we</i> can do. I told you that I
would protect you, and I will.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

her head, she took a small step back and admitted, “You’re right about one
thing, Xander,” as she wiped a tear from her face. “I <i>don’t</i>
know you, so how can I trust you? No
matter how you make me feel. Please just
leave me alone.” She spun on her heel
and sprinted away, leaving me to stare after her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<o:p> </o:p>Having grown up in both the cold,
quiet town of Topsham, Maine and the steamy, southern hospitality of Mobile,
Alabama, Michele is something of a enigma.
She is an avid Yankees fan, loves New England, being outdoors and misses
snow. However she thinks southern boys
are hotter, Alabama football is the only REAL football out there and sweet tea
is the best thing this side of heaven and her children’s laughter! </div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">For Abby Renard, the plan was supposed to be simple—join her brothers’ band on the last leg of their summer tour and decide if she’s finally ready for the limelight by becoming its fourth member. Of course, she never imagined stumbling onto the wrong tour bus at Rock Nation would accidentally land her in the bed of Jake Slater, the notorious womanizing lead singer of Runaway Train. When he mistakes her for one of his groupie’s, Abby quickly lets him know she sure as hell isn't in his bed on purpose.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Jake Slater never imagined the angel who fell into his bed would resist his charms by promptly kneeing him in the balls. Of course, the fact she seems like a prissy choir girl makes her anything but his type. So he is more than surprised when after betting Abby she wouldn’t last a week on their tour bus, she is more than willing to prove him wrong. But as Jake’s personal life begins to implode around him, he finds an unlikely ally in Abby. He’s never met a woman he can talk to, joke with, or most importantly make music with.</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">As the week starts comes to a close, neither Abby nor Jake is ready to let go. Can a sweetheart Country songstress and a bad boy of Rock N Roll actually have a future together?</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Becoming an author always been a dream of mine since as far back as I can remember. I think it started, though, with a brief writing exercise I was given in kindergarten. We were supposed to write a two to three sentence story (or maybe a paragraph) to do with Easter.

Surprisingly enough, the idea for it came to me while I was sitting in the university library before a final exam.

<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I am getting ready to begin my fourth novel, which will be set in an entirely different universe than <i>Empyreal Illusions</i>. It will be a YA romance with a tinge of fantasy. Stay tuned <img alt=":)" src="http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g" style="border: 0px;" /></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course, I love reading as much as I do writing. Outside of my literary pursuits, though, I enjoy playing sports and I’m a fitness enthusiast. There’s nothing that a good workout can’t help solve!</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4169"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Make it two more shots, will you?”</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4164" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4163"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Galbrecht Atalir slid a coin across the counter and watched with unnerving patience as Korvan greedily scooped it up. He tilted his head from side to side until he heard the bones in his neck crack and ran a hand through his greased hair. He had not yet reached his limits. Thirteen hearty gulps of <i>The Laughing Banshee’s</i>strongest whiskey had filled his gut with comfortable warmth. It also made him the center of attention for a handful of unkempt thugs. They knew better than to trouble him, though. They had seen him fight before. All he wanted was to down another half-dozen shots and return to the broken pallet in his shack. It was not too much to ask for, really.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4160" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4159"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">His days had grown increasingly meaningless as of late and his evenings were no better. Sometimes, only the idea of wasting his liver away on the cheap liquor <i id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4172">The Laughing Banshee</i> offered kept him going. He could scarcely remember the last time he felt joy or saw beauty in the little things the world had to offer.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4156" style="padding: 0px;">

He casually offered a slight nod of thanks to Korvan as he finally brought more liquor. <i>They have to break eventually.</i></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4176" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4175"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Took you long enough, Korvan,” he stated matter-of-factly. He exhaled deeply and let his aggression exude out his pores.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The barkeep shrugged. “What can I say? I’m a busy man. One of my girls walked out on me today and I haven’t found a replacement.”</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4148" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4147"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Galbrecht ignored him and took another shot that sent a river of fire down his belly. Who was he trying to fool? He would forget his past once he started believing in a benevolent God. That, he knew, would never happen. A man did not lose everything as he had and still have conviction. Faith was a clutch for the weak and an excuse for the depraved. No superior being worthy of devotion would have forced thirty-six years of hell upon him.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4152" style="padding: 0px;">

He was certain he would reach his breaking point soon. <i>What will another day at the hospital bring next?</i></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4144" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4143"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Galbrecht toiled away in the rundown facility in western Purgaire from sunrise to sunset. The reason for becoming a doctor in the first place grew more indistinct with each passing day. After each shift he retreated into alcoholism. He had long since grown sick of Purgaire and his meaningless existence. Perhaps it was time to give up his mad mission and return to Aghiddo. He was wrong to think he could always stay away.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4181" style="padding: 0px;">

You will accept defeat and crawl back there? Pitiful!</i></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aghiddo was the place where his spirit had died almost a decade ago. Life had ceased to have any purpose for him then. Would it be any different this time around?</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>I doubt it.</i></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4185" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4184"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Galbrecht exhaled deeply and drank from the other shot glass. Liquor was the only panacea for his troubling memories. Deep down, he knew that he could not push them aside forever. No amount of alcohol amended the past. Bringing dozens of the sick and wounded back from the brink of death did not, either. There was just something about tending to the infirm that made moving on impossible.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4189" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4188"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He had not always been this way, though. Once he had looked forward to a promising future. He had had a loving wife, two beautiful daughters, and a cozy home. What more could one ask for? Like most good things, though, his comfortable life in Aghiddo came to a terrible, sudden end seven years ago. He could not forget that fateful moment when he returned from work to find his home ransacked and the halls saturated with blood….</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4193" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4192"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Something inside Galbrecht—then, Ghariel Lodan—snapped that day. His conviction in the world had crumbled. How could it be otherwise when his family perished under torture? Nobody deserved such a fate. Was he supposed to accept his losses and move on? Facing reality had never been harder. He had kissed Adine goodbye earlier that morning; who would have known that his wife would be a broken ragdoll just hours later? His daughters had not fared better, either. Jaila and her younger sister, Relyn, had always been so energetic. To see their fragile limbs bent at humanly impossible angles had been scarring.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even now, reminiscing threatened to push him into an outrage.</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4197" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4196"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A blunt object had crushed their bones and organs. A closer inspection of their welts and fractures told Galbrecht it was a chain. The mere thought of how they had suffered still sent shivers down his spine. Whoever had killed them had purposely dragged it out.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4201" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4200"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The constables had ceased the investigation after a few weeks. They told him the lack of evidence made it pointless. Why waste their time on a case when there was nothing for them to gain in return? Favors did not come free anywhere. He was mad to think otherwise, they insisted. Of course, that was their excuse for everything. <i>Life goes on</i>, they had said.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4205" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4204"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The hell it does, </i>he recalled replying. They were not there when he cremated his family and scattered their ashes in the quiet lake where Adine had agreed to marry him. The constables did not have to live with the guilt of being apart in their darkest hour. He had vowed that proper justice would be his.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4209" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4208"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">His quest to find the truth soon became a maddening obsession. He began to roam the streets at night and created an alternate persona to blend in with the seedy underworld of Aghiddo. He swore to find the answers the constables refused to seek out. Until he did, his family would never rest in peace.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course, it was not long before the callous, ruthless facade he had created became one with the man he had been in years past.</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>I’ve embraced darkness to find light and lost my way within.</i></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Give me two more, Korvan.”</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Hear me, wherever you are. I </i>will<i> find you. ‘Why’ doesn’t matter anymore. You can’t elude me for eternity. Someday…someday I’ll climb out of this rut and hunt you anew.</i></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I said two more.”</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Galbrecht glared at him icily and partially rose off his seat. Korvan’s refusal to listen made his blood boil. His stormy demeanor screamed violence.</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Korvan sniveled but did exactly as the doctor commanded. He never turned down coins.</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“You’ll be reusing the same glasses. Too bad if you don’t like it.”</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He threw a silver onto the bar counter. “Oh? And why is that?”</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4227" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Korvan nodded and began to pour the liquor. “I told you before. One of my girls walked out on me and I’m too busy to make things pretty for you. It’s all going to the same place, so what does it matter?” He paused and rubbed his chin worrisomely. “She’ll see what a mistake it was to walk out that door. She’ll come crying for me to take her back and I won’t.”</span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4223" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4226"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Galbrecht ignored him. He finished the trio of shots in rapid succession and sat in silence as more recollections resurfaced. <i>Why? Just give me solace for one evening!</i>Seven years since his family’s horrid butchering had passed without reward, the last three of which he had whittled away in Purgaire. Failure greeted him at every corner. Closure eluded him.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4219" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4222"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">His obsession on finding the one that murdered his family had consumed his life. Eventually, the despair of his countless failures nearly drove him insane. How could someone disappear without a trace?</span></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4217" style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>You’ve given up. You let Purgaire smother you.</i></span></div>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4216" style="padding: 0px;">
<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367070909738_4215"><span style="color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Galbrecht ignored the voice of reason and let his memories wash over him again.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Dyletri, God of Fertility, has locked away his powers. No woman is allowed to touch him, not until he can return his long-dead lover back to life. All he has to do is sacrifice one human girl, a girl who unlocks his powers and rips his dormant lust right out of his body. Trapped by his promise, Dyletri has no choice but to watch Ismini die, no matter how much he wants her. </span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Yet the darkness of his calling is spiraling within him, demanding he claim the human as his. If he goes back on his promise, the energy of the Fates will cause untold destruction in the Universe. That doesn’t change how Dyletri’s begun exhibiting symptoms that point to more than just lust. How does he allow Ismini to die when she’s come to own him from the inside out?</span><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><br style="line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px;">Desire and torment spiral into something much darker than obsession, more turbulent than an addiction, and something much more brutal than a mere soul-mating.

No woman is allowed to touch him, not until he can return his long-dead lover back to life. All he has to do is sacrifice one human girl, a girl who unlocks his powers and rips his dormant lust right out of his body. Trapped by his promise, Dyletri has no choice but to watch Ismini die, no matter how much he wants her. </b></span></span></div>

If he goes back on his promise, the energy of the Fates will cause untold destruction in the Universe. That doesn’t change how Dyletri’s begun exhibiting symptoms that point to more than just lust.
