From Amazon:
In the newest Novel of the Lupi, the human and elven worlds are both about to come under attack…
After questing through the sidhe realms with her ex-hellhound lover, Nathan, Kai Tallman Michalski has finally returned home. But she knows Nathan will eventually be called back to serve his queen—and Kai will have to decide whether to enter her majesty’s service as well.

The two of them helped thwart the sidhe god of chaos—and he is not happy about that. He’s got plans for them. Plans, too, for the sidhe who killed him some three millennia ago. Nor has he abandoned his plans for Earth, as they learn when chaos begins bursting out all over...

Liebster Award!
Hi All! I've been nominated by Elle of 411 on YA Books for the Liebster Award. I'm honored!
Okay. Here's six random facts about myself:
1. I am a huge Doctor Who fan. The jury is still out on whether I will love this twelfth doctor (Peter Capaldi) as much as I adore the tenth one (David Tennant).
2. Other than my obsession with the Doctor (see #1), I love DIY. I'm putting together plans to build a tiny house as a retreat for writing.
3. My favorite food is fried green tomatoes.
4. My favorite flower is the Lotus.
5. I love dancing!
6. My favorite genre is romance.
Here are the questions Elle asked:
1. What made you want to start blogging?
I've always loved books and reading. This my way of keeping up with the new releases I wanted to read.
2. What is your favorite book of all time?
My favorite book of all time is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
3. Who is better, Harry or Ron?
Ron.
4. If you could meet one author and ask them one question, who would it be, what would it be, and why?
Beverly Jenkins. I'd ask of all the genres, what made her choose to write African American historical romances.
5. How do you decide what your next review is?
My decision is based on when the pre-release is set to go live. If I have more than one, I try to represent with different genres for the designated post.
6. When did you start blogging?
I started a private blog (like a journal,really) in 2006. I started my public blog in 2009.
7. Where in the world would you go if you had two tickets to anywhere? Who is that second ticket for and why?
I'd go to England. The second ticket would be for my mother. We like traveling together.
8. Do you have late fees on local library books?
No late fees. I usually check out ebooks from the library. They automatically go back to the library on the due date.
9. How do you feel about Twilight?
Not my favorite as far as the books are concerned, but I loved the movies. That's odd for me because I usually like the book but not the movie.
10. What is/was your least and most favorite classes in school? Why?
Government. The teacher was boring. She did nothing to make the class interesting.
11. Pick any profession in the world. Why did you pick that one?
Genealogist. It's like detective work figuring out a family's history.

Lynne

THE FUTURE OF HIS TRIBE
Leader of the vampire clan MoonBound, Hunter will do what he must to save his people from extinction—or worse, a torturous eternity as vampire slaves and subjects of human experimentation. To keep his enemies at bay, he has agreed to mate a rival clan leader’s daughter in return for peace between the clans and an ally in the looming war with the humans.
THE LOVER OF HIS SOUL
But survival comes at a price. First, Hunter must break an ancient curse by successfully negotiating three deadly tests. Then he must resist the searing passions of the gorgeous vampire warrior he despises but is bound to mate. Will Hunter stay true to his word? Or will he risk everything for the woman he really loves: the vampire seductress’s identical twin sister?

From Amazon:
From the Author's website:
Scandal follows Rose Barclay, young widow of the Duke of Southdown, wherever she goes. It's never her fault--honor bright--but newspapers love to write about the young woman from Scotland, and the much older duke she married, who died on their honeymoon. The duke left her with a large widow's portion, now contested by his younger brother, who kicks Rose out of the estate's dower house and uses it to kennel his dogs.
Rose does *not* need to be found with a large, handsome Scot passed out at her feet, fueling gossips and giving her brother-in-law more ammunition. The Scot is Steven McBride--a decorated soldier who is notorious for heavy gambling and womanizing during his leave time. Steven is happy to open his eyes and find the beautiful woman standing over him, and happy to help spirit her away. But the journalists get wind and start a campaign to couple Rose with the scandalous Steven McBride.
