Diamonds Release Party ~ Win a Tivoli Heart Necklace or free ebook!

I'm so excited! Break out the Bailey's and Beignets! (or whatever you enjoy).

My second novella, Diamonds (1st novella in the Stiletto Millionaire Club Series) was released today and I want to celebrate with a gift for two people who leave a meaningful comment. Because the story is about Holly and her diamond necklace, the first prize is a Tivoli Heart Necklace and the second prize is a free copy of my novella, Diamonds. Good luck. Check back tomorrow to see who won.


(Isn't the locket cute!)


Blurb for Diamonds:

Self-made millionaire Holly Charleston has come a long way since her homeless days. Sometimes, she believes life would have been simpler before fortune and fame. With every man she meets imagining dollar signs, she yearns for the one man who sees the real Holly. A mysterious wealthy stranger may be the one, but she must control her sexsomnia and trust issues if she hopes for a real chance at love.

Professional thief Drake Davenport is ready to begin an honest life. However, his last assignment leads him to steal the heart diamond necklace from a woman known as Ms. Frost. But Holly guards her heart close and her assets closer. Once Holly thaws to Drake's seduction attempts, he finds himself in a position of protecting her from a hired mercenary or living the life he believes he earned. Drake realizes the challenge of stealing the diamond is nothing compared to the challenge of stealing Holly's heart.

New Review in for Not An Angel from Place Of Reeds...

My latest review from Place of Reeds by Cana. (Thank you, Cana!)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Life hasn’t been easy for Kira. After loosing her husband and child, and her brother-in-law going psycho-obsessive, she finds herself on the edge of a bridge in an attempt to end her life.
Trace, a Poryria Vampire Guardian, was not expecting to save a woman, let alone not being able to leave her side. He struggles with the darkness of his past, and the potential darkness of his future.
It is only when they both accept their bond with each other and face the darkness together that they can win the battle, but will they figure it out in time?

I think this was a great book. It wasn’t a hard read, kept up a good pace, and had a good flow. I, of course, really enjoyed the characters through out this book. Kira was a great character. She has always taken care of herself, and has always been strong for herself. But through out this book, she has to learn how to depend on Trace to be strong for her as well as how to be strong for Trace. Trace is the big, strong, good looking vampire. Who doesn’t like that? But it is more than that. He wants to protect Kira, even sometimes against her will. But he isn’t perfect. He struggles with his own burdens about his past, and his potential of becoming a Vry.

I found some of the other characters great for additional entertainment. The Queen (loved the play on Scottish history! Best use of history in a paranormal novel for me in a while!) was a strong, controlling woman of power. She didn’t mind men, but the Queen B comes out when women arrive. Mike, brother dearest, I think is the character with the most potential to grow (a plus for the next book, hint hint). Mike’s attitude towards humans and towards Poryrias was an interesting blend.

I only had 2 disappointments with this book. 1, it wasn’t long enough. I could have gone with another 50-70 pages. I feel like some of the information they gave could have been expanded on (but, maybe this is just the opening for several more books!). 2, I would have loved a glossary of terms/traditions. There was so much about the Poryria and the Vry that I would have liked to have had a glossary to turn to for additional information.

On a whole, I really loved this book. I highly recommend this book to others.

Happy Reading!
Cana

Hugs to you, Cana for this very sweet review. And read the interview if too if you get the chance!

Q&A Interview's for DIAMONDS (and see why I'm such a goof sometimes)

For my first interview(s) for my first contemporary erotic romance novella, Diamonds, I totally goofed. I scheduled two interviews on the same day, but that’s not the problem.

The problem is I thought they were the same blogger, and used one bloggers questions/answers for both blogs. Don’t ask. *shakes head* I saved the file as romanceinterview1-5. (Duh!)

This is authors (Or maybe it’s just me) need someone to set up blog tours for them. Thankfully, both bloggers got a kick out of it and were very understanding. (Thank you, ladies)

So if you get a chance, please stop by one or both places (If you dare to read it twice) and leave a comment for a chance to win Diamonds before it’s released. (Yes, I’m totally embarrassed! But I’m still thrilled with the upcoming release. I think the cover is pretty too, but it's my baby so who knows.) lol

Happy New Year! (with a sweet review!)

In a couple of weeks I'll be busy pimping 2 books at the same time.

Not sure how that happened, er, yeah I do. I screwed up. lol
I signed on to a week blog tour for Not An Angel, and it so happens to be the same week Diamonds is coming out. Diamonds was scheduled the first week of January, but it was pushed back. Oh boy. I can do it, no problem-oh. lol. I look forward to the challenge. :-)

Anyway, not sure if I shared this very sweet review of Not An Angel I found on Booked Up!

Or you can just read it here.

Reviewer: Dolce Amore
After I read the book summary I was very interested in reading the book. I mean, who can resist when the heroine is a damsel in distress and the hero is a vampire? Not me, I swear.

The book captivated me from the start; the descriptions were so impressive that I felt like I was there, seeing it all thru Kira’s eyes, suffering the pain she was feeling. And when she tried to commit suicide, I was there with her… understanding why she tried to do it. And who won’t understand it after losing her little daughter and her husband?

But Trace Stuart was there too and he saved her. Because of that a bond was created between them and they started to dream of each other, sharing their dreams. It wasn’t supposed to be able to happen with a human, but it did.

Then we find out that the death of Kira’s loved ones wasn’t an accident and a suicide, but murder and that the criminal wants her dead too. Trace discovers things from his past that now threaten his present with Kira. Will they succeed in fighting the evil that wants them dead?

It was a wonderful book, and I enjoyed it very much. I would have liked there to have been more details about the death of Kira’s daughter, this part was a little bit confusing to me, but the rest of the book was great. I will wait impatiently for the next book of Ms. Dawn Chartier, as she has become one of my favorite writers. I give it 4.5 stars.

Thank you so much, Dolce.

Dawn
