#1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon brings us back to the astonishing world of the Dark-Hunters in Dragonmark, where man and mythology collide. . .

Centuries ago, Illarion was betrayed–a dragon made human against his will, then forced to serve humanity as a dragonmount in their army, and to fight for them in barbaric wars, even while he hated everything about them. Enslaved and separated from everyone he knew and from his own dragon brothers, he was forced into exile in a fey realm where he lost the only thing he ever really loved.

Now Illarion has a chance to regain what’s been lost–to have the one thing he covets most. But only if he gives up his brothers and forsakes the oaths he holds most dear. Yet what terrifies him most isn’t the cost his happiness might incur, it’s the fact that there is just enough human in his dragon’s heart that he might actually be willing to pay it and betray everything and everyone–to see the entire world burn…

2016 Release Spotlight: Duke of Sin (Maiden Lane, Book #10) By Elizabeth Hoyt

Time just seems to fly by… I can’t believe how long it’s  been since my last blog also where I had a chance to sit down and read a book. I am hoping that things in my life start to calm down and I have a chance to find a comfy spot and read. But for right now I thought I would post about books that was released in 2016 that I haven’t had a chance to read yet and I would love to hear what you thought about them. So without further ado, here is the start of my 2016 spotlights..

Title: Duke of Sin

Author: Elizabeth Hoyt

Book Series: Maiden Lane, Book #10

Release Day: May 31, 2016

Synopsis:

A MAN OF SIN

Devastatingly handsome. Vain. Unscrupulous. Valentine Napier, the Duke of Montgomery, is the man London whispers about in boudoirs and back alleys. A notorious rake and blackmailer, Montgomery has returned from exile, intent on seeking revenge on those who have wronged him. But what he finds in his own bedroom may lay waste to all his plans.

A WOMAN OF HONOR

Born a bastard, housekeeper Bridget Crumb is clever, bold, and fiercely loyal. When her aristocratic mother becomes the target of extortion, Bridget joins the Duke of Montgomery’s household to search for the incriminating evidence-and uncovers something far more dangerous.

A SECRET THAT THREATENS TO DESTROY THEM BOTH

Astonished by the deceptively prim-and surprisingly witty-domestic spy in his chambers, Montgomery is intrigued. And try as she might, Bridget can’t resist the slyly charming duke. Now as the two begin their treacherous game of cat and mouse, they soon realize that they both have secrets—and neither may be as nefarious—or as innocent—as they appear . . .

May Release Spotlight: The Official Essex Sisters Companion Guide By Eloisa James, Jody Gayle

It’s been a while since I have posted anything on this blog. It’s funny how time seems to fly by, but I recently stopped of at my blog and realized that I haven’t posted anything since December and here it is already August. All I can say for my lack of blogs is that many things have been happening since the beginning of the year, nothing bad fortunately, and now it seems things are quieting down and now it seems I have a little more time available to get back to reading and adding posts for books from some of my favorite authors that I have missed announcing before they were going to be released. So to start it off,  here is one from Eloisa James. I haven’t read The Essex Sisters Series yet, but when I do this companion seem like good thing to read to close the series off. Anyone else have a chance to read it?

 

Title: The Official Essex Sisters Companion Guide

Author: Eloisa James, Jody Gayle

Book Series: The Essex Sisters

Release Day: May 24, 2016

Synopsis:

New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James delivers a brand new short story in the Essex Sisters world, along with fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the series.

This is a book no Eloisa James fan should miss! Eloisa revisits the scintillating world of the Essex Sisters with “A Midsummer Night’s Disgrace,” a new story featuring a young lady, Cece, who would rather ruin her own reputation than endure further speculation about whether her children will be “silly,” like her brother, Billy. Happily for fans of Pleasure for Pleasure, Cece’s best friend is Josie, Countess of Mayne!

Just as exciting, the Companion includes not only Eloisa’s original notes about each book and her “extra” chapters, but a 170 page alternate ending to Kiss Me, Annabel. Eloisa discarded this shockingly different plot after writing one draft, and the published novel went in an entirely new direction. Make up your own mind about which is better—Eloisa’s original, or the final book!

Super fan Jody Gayle’s engaging guide includes essays about fascinating historical details, including period fashion designs. Explore the world of horse racing and tour the London theater scene. Delve into the rich history and deep literary tradition that makes Eloisa one of the top writers of historical romance.

The Companion also gives you a sneak peek at Eloisa’s newest full-length novella, “A Gentleman Never Tells”—which springs from the world of the Essex Sisters! What will happen when one of the men who ruined an heiress’ debut by labeling her a “Wooly Breeder” (and Josie Essex a “Scottish Sausage”) decides that it’s time to make amends?
