Sexy Cedric:  Steam up your autumn nights with a howling-good read!

Greetings my darlings!  Happy autumnal equinox to my pagan friends!  Now that autumn is here, your naughty boy is back with something to help take the chill out of these longer nights.  Something with warm, silky fur and delicious sharp fangs.  No, it's not this playful tiger.  This sort of beastie howls and scratches when the moon turns full.  Okay, I've done my share of that for a vampire.

So, let me turn the spotlight on a sexy new confection from the always delightful, Katie Salidas.

Good girls don’t wear fur, or fight over men, and they certainly don’t run around naked, howling at the moon.

But then, no-one ever called Fallon a good girl.

As a human unofficially mated to an Alpha werewolf, Fallon is being pressured to “become”...or be gone.

Her mate Aiden, the interim leader of the Olde Town Pack, is in a position that demands he either choose a wolf mate...or leave the pack forever. No matter how hot the sex with Fallon is, he can’t ignore centuries of tradition.

Become a wolf or not. If only the choice were that simple. Fallon’s options are further clouded by the overt presence of other females desperate to be the Alpha’s mate. And when these bitches get serious, it’s not just claws that come out. If Fallon wants to keep her man and take the title she’ll have to exert a little dominance of her own.

You can read Ms. Verrico's review here.

I like the sexy blonde, Fallon, on the cover.  In fact, she'll be here in the coming weeks to talk with me...and hopefully more.

Werewolves and Love Bites, a Review of Moonlight by Katie Salidas

Review 

Moonlight

A Novella by Katie Salidas

Moonlight by Katie Salidas is a companion novella set in the world of the Immortalis urban fantasy novels.  In this spin-off, the story centers on Fallon, the loyal friend of Alyssa, the vampire heroine in the novel series. 

Fallon, girlfriend of werewolf alpha, Aiden, finds herself smack dab in the middle of a power struggle that not only threatens her relationship with her lover, but her very life.  Learning that Aiden’s pack will not accept her as his mate unless she makes the transition from human to werewolf, Fallon is faced by a momentous decision: Should she risk her life to run at the side of her alpha wolf lover, or retain her humanity and give him up?  Add to that the rivalry of Diana, a female in the pack, who has a personal vendetta against Fallon, and a delicate web of pack politics that the still-human Fallon must negotiate. 

I found the novella a quick and enjoyable read, just the sort of thing for curling up by the fireplace on a chilly autumn night.  Romance fans will be appreciative of the heat generated by Fallon and Aiden, and urban fantasy fans will enjoy the paranormal elements that Salidas skillfully weaves through the tale.  The werewolf sequences are interesting and exciting, and we see a nice growth arc in Fallon’s character, from gal pal sidekick of vampire Alyssa to savvy leading-lady of her own saga.

So, pour yourself a nice glass of wine, light the fire and hope that your mate will be there to reap the benefits when you’re finished with this steamy and satisfying read.

This Saturday, Sexy Cedric will be back with an excerpt and more on Moonlight!

Stacey, I'm thrilled to have you here today.  Tell us about your work.

Big thanks to Immortyl Revolution for allowing me to share their space today. I’m not sure about everyone else, but novellas are sometimes exactly what I’m looking for. Of course, I love deep stories that I can get lost in for days. But sometimes, life is just too busy for that kind of thing.


There are times when I don’t want to spend a week with characters. Don’t need a complicated story, because in truth, my life is so crazy I don’t have the time to fully appreciate it. This is where my love for novellas comes in. It allows me to spend one night reading and I get a full wrap up of the story. Add in some sexy scenes in there…and I’m captivated.


I’d love to hear from you all—do you enjoy reading novellas or do you need more depth to your stories?


If you love novellas as much as I do, leave a comment with your email address to be entered to win an ebook of Whatnots & Doodads. Good luck!

It just so happens, fate steps in and brings her to Strange Hollow–a place where being different is not only acceptable, but encouraged.


When Bryanna arrives in Strange Hollow, Zeke, a demon gone good, is burning with Hell’s fire over her. Not only has she set his world ablaze, but he’s found one soul he can save. He’s determined to free her from the insecurities that have damaged her soul.


Together they experience lava-hot passion as they weave their way through a tornado of emotions. But when Layton returns for her, will Zeke’s attempts to break the unworthy cage woven around her be enough to keep her in Strange Hollow forever?
