Martin: I was an outcast. Humiliated and abused, I ran away to carve out a life apart from the Specter family business. Convinced the family magic would never work for me, I was taken by surprise when I met him.

Manticore: Shunned by other manifestations, I lived alone and nameless. Then I found Martin. He gave me a name and his body. Now, we exist as one. We never expected to find a woman who’ll love us, but Daisy Fay is full of surprises. We’ve walked through demonic fire to protect her, and we will have her as our mate.

Daisy Fay: Martin is the sweetest guy I know. Manticore is an enticing beast. I never dreamed they shared a body. It’s a good thing I love them both. We’re in constant danger, though, because their father wants to kill them. They want to keep me safe, but sitting in the sidelines isn’t my style, and they’d better get used to it.

LOVER AT LAST by JR Ward

....page 97 of 591.

-Whatever, he wasn't sure he could do that - especially as, at this moment, and as fucking usual, an emotional attachment he didn't want and couldn't change was yet again robbing him of something he wanted.  Qhuinn was a fucking curse to him, the guy really was.

SELLING OUT by Amber Lin

....from page 144.

-I wanted him because he was good and I was bad.  Because he was worthy and I was not.  And yet seeing him like this, like the lowest of men, made me hotter for him.  Every excuse I made for wanting him fell away.  I wanted him in every incarnation, in any form I could get him.

NEW LIFE by Bonnie Dee

....location 64 of 3265.

-I could feel Anna wanting to ask about the scar, but she didn't. People are too polite.  Except for little kids, who'll say anything that crosses their minds.  I appreciate that honesty.

FIFTY SHADES FREED by E.L. James

....from page 55.

-Peeking up at him, I take a moment to admire his captivating beauty...and he's mine.  And it's not just the allure of his fine, fine face and his body that has me spellbound.  It's what's behind the perfection that draws me in, that calls to me...his fragile damaged soul.

BRAZIL by Kenya Carlton

....from page 6.

-So far the bottled blonde who’d latched onto him had bombarded him with question after question with little regard to the wheelchair-bound husband or whoever the hell he was at her side.  Earlier he had had to disengage her hand from his crotch, and yesterday he had had to find a way to kick her out of his cabin. Finally, after the umpteenth time he witnessed her licking the rim of her wineglass with a lurid wink, he decided to excuse himself from the table altogether.

THE DEVIL's PAWN by Elizabeth Finn

....page 56 of 129.

-He watches calmly, not so much as the slightest degree of what he's thinking flashing in his eyes now.  And I speak.  They aren't the words I want to say; they are the words that I must say.  "I should go."

Avon Addict Blog Hop (GIVEAWAY)

For the first six months of this year I was lucky enough to be a member of a wonderful group of readers devoted to Avon Publishing. We got to read books from new Avon authors as well as some old favorites.  This experience was very reader-centric and showed me again why I love Avon books.

My love for Avon books started in the 70's (yes, that long ago) with the reading of my first romance, The Flower and the Flame by Kathleen E Woodiwiss.  These books were over-the-top melodramatic and exotic and I couldn't have loved them more.  From there it was a binge of her other books which started me on my path to becoming a bookaholic. After reading all of Ms. Woodiwiss' books, the next author to truly grab me was Lorraine Heath.  Her stories were far sweeping with a subtle way of writing that immerses you completely. From the Old West to Regency England she created many books that are among the first I recommend to those just starting to read romance.  She's still writing today and is an auto-buy for me as I know I'll come away satisfied. The final Avon author that I credit my continuing love of Avon books to is Julia Quinn.  Her effortless writing style with its witty dialogue and splashes of humor set mostly in Regency England are utterly delightful and have me counting down the days until her next new release.

These are just a few of Avon book's wonderful authors! There are many up-and-comers reminiscent of my favorites who continue to bring me to Avon books and have me excited for the future.  If any of you are given the opportunity to become an Avon Addict jump at it as every month you'll discover why I still love Avon books and you will too!

In honor of the Avon Addicts, and Avon Publishing, I'm hosting a giveaway with some wonderful books!  TO BE ENTERED you must become a follower (either by GFC, Twitter, or FB) AND tell me who your favorite Avon author is (make sure to include your email addy)! Good luck to everyone!

MY FAIR DORK by Daisy Harris

....from page 104 of 134.

-He wanted Owen more than he'd ever wanted anything in his life.  And though Harold never let himself want things he wasn't sure if he could get, this was different.  He was willing to risk getting hurt, risk everything, for a chance of standing next to Owen.

GALWAY BOUND BY HEIDI BELLEAU & VIOLETTA VANE

....page 3 of 25.

-How many nights had they spent sitting together on his couch, Sean hunched over a stack of papers with a pen cap in his mouth, shrugging Cormac's mouth off his throat or Cormac's hands off his chest?  When they did come together, it was good, like always, just not very...energetic.

CLAIMING MAGIQUE by Tina Donahue

....page 26 of 126.

....from location 1401 of 1933.

HER WICKED WAYS by Darcy Burke

....from location 3405 of 4147

-Miranda's cheeks hollowed as she sucked in air.  She darted a glance at Fox and in her eyes he saw...regret.  The lightness turned to black.  Weight as heavy as iron pulled at his body, threatened his very sanity.  "No," she said, shaking her head, "I didn't agree to marry him."

CHEEKY BLONDE by Liz Crowe

...from location 46 of 1844.

-The expert marketing guidance from the man now openly staring at her from a cliched crowded room hadn't hurt either.  She gave a little wave, as if they were old friends, and he raised his glass.  Her face blazed hot as she processed she was flirting with the man many called the Evil Emperor of Craft Brewing-both classA jerk and marketing savant.
