Book Blast & Giveaway ~ Love's First Bite
LOVE’S FIRST BITE
Six bestselling authors who know how to bring the heat and the darkness present six vampire romances with BITE.
900 pages of sexy vampire goodness.
The Wolf Within by New York Times Bestselling author Cynthia Eden – FBI Special Agent Duncan McGuire spends his days–and his nights–tracking real-life monsters. After a brutal werewolf attack, Duncan begins to change…and soon he becomes one of the very beasts that he has hunted. Dr. Holly Young is supposed to help Duncan during his transition. It’s her job to keep him sane. But the growing desire between them could be a very dangerous thing…because when a vampire and a werewolf mate…their dark need may become an obsession that could destroy them both.
The Vampire Affair by New York Times Bestselling author Vivi Anna – Mak, an unconventional journalist, risks everything including her job to get the goods on billionaire businessman Jonathan Devane, a man who enthralled her for a single passionate kiss months prior, a man who makes her blood race, a man with dark secrets…
The Dark’s Mistress by Michele Hauf – Beguiled by the devil Himself, her only hope was the vampire who could not love her dark and tainted heart.
Blu and Creed’s daughter, Kambriel has come to Paris to ‘find herself’ and finds more than she bargained for when the man who seduces her with extravagant gifts and fine things reveals his true nature. Now she is desperate for freedom.
Johnny Santiago falls for the beautiful vampiress singing at Club l’Enfer, yet he doesn’t expect his rival to be the devil Himself. Can he rescue Kam from the dark prince before she loses her soul and forgets everything and everyone she has ever cared for?
A Taste for Passion by Patrice Michelle – Rana Sterling finally meets the man of her dreams and boy does he know how to push all the right buttons. Only, Mr. Tall, Dark, and Too-Good-to-Be-True turns out to be just that–he’s beyond her world.
After searching seventy years for his reincarnated fiancé, Lucian Trevane finally finds his mate in Rana, but with time working against him and a vengeful vampire determined to destroy the one ray of happiness he’s found, Lucian will have to call upon all his vampire skills and beyond in order to protect Rana and draw her fully into his world.
Captured by Erica Stevens – Captured, taken from her beloved family and woods, Aria’s biggest fear is not the imminent death facing her, but that she will be chosen as a blood slave for a member of the ruling vampire race. Aria’s world is turned upside down when the vampire prince Braith steps forward to claim her. Torn between her loyalties to the rebellion, and her growing love for her greatest enemy, Aria struggles to decide between everything she has ever known, and a love she never dreamed of finding.
Paris After Dark by Jordan Summers – NY homicide detective, Rachel Chang is on a forced leave in Paris grieving over the loss of her partner, when she comes upon a violent attack outside the walls of Cimetiere du Montparnasse. A simple domestic dispute quickly turns into something far more sinister, when Rachel ends up on the wrong side of some very sharp fangs.

VIVI ANNA: A BAD GIRL at heart, Vivi Anna likes to burn up the pages with her original unique brand of fantasy fiction. Whether it’s in ancient Egypt, or in an apocalyptic future, Vivi always writes fast paced action-adventure with strong independent women that can kick some butt, and dark delicious heroes to kill for.
Once shot at while repossessing a car, Vivi decided that maybe her life needed a change. The first time she picked up a pen and put words to paper, she knew she had found her heart. Within two paragraphs, she realized she could write about getting into all sorts of trouble without suffering the consequences.
When Vivi isn’t writing, you can find her causing a ruckus at downtown bistros, flea markets, or playgrounds.

MICHELE HAUF: Michele has been writing romance, action-adventure and fantasy stories for over nineteen years. Her first published novel was DARK RAPTURE.
France, musketeers, vampires and faeries populate her stories. And if she followed the adage 'write what you know', all her stories would have snow in them. Fortunately, she steps beyond her comfort zone and writes about countries she has never visited and of creatures she has never seen.

P.T. is an American living in France (for now), and when she’s not writing, her other passion is photography. She often shares her snapshots of her adventures on her Facebook page.
P.T.’s FB page is also where she spends most of her time interacting with readers and talking about her favorite subject, books. She hopes you’ll join her.

ERICA STEVENS: My name is not really Erica Stevens, it is a pen name that I chose in memory of two amazing friends lost too soon. I was born in New York and moved to Mass as a child. I spent my time growing up between NY and Mass so I have some interesting times when sports games roll around. I was fortunate enough to marry my best friend over two years ago and I don't know what I'd do without him. I have a large, crazy, fun loving family that just loves to laugh. My parents are the strongest people I know. I have an older brother and sister, and a younger sister, who have blessed me with many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. I am nowhere near as old as the great nieces and nephews make me sound. I love to read and have wanted to be a writer since I was nine years old.

Eve Bradley was undercover looking for a story, not a cause. But
something about the man they called Subject Thirteen got her involved. The
scientists said he was a devil, and they had a decent case: Terrifying power. A
bad attitude. And looks that could lead anyone to sin. . .
Cain O’Connor knows the minute he catches her candy scent that Eve
could drive him wild. But she’s a threat–in a way no one has been for him in
years. She’s safer away from him, too. But with a powerful conspiracy
determined to shut Eve up for good, there’s no time to argue. All they can do
is trust their instincts–and their hearts. . .

a 2013 RITA® finalist for her paranormal romance, ANGEL IN
CHAINS, and, in 2011, Cynthia Eden was a RITA finalist for her romantic
suspense, DEADLY FEAR.
Cynthia is a southern girl who loves horror movies, chocolate, and happy
endings. She has always wanted to write (don’t most authors say that?),
and particularly enjoys creating stories about monsters–vampires, werewolves,
and even the real-life monsters that populate her romantic suspense stories.
Cynthia’s foreign sales for her books include translations to Japan,
Germany, Thailand, Greece, and Brazil.
(Back in the day…) Cynthia graduated summa cum laude from the
University of South Alabama where she studied Sociology (because people
interest her) and Communication (because she likes to write about said
people). Cynthia has worked as a college admissions counselor, a teacher,
and as an editor. But now, Cynthia is thrilled to be spending her days making
up stories.

Book Review: Alpha One by Cynthia Eden
Title: Alpha One
(Shadow Agents #1)
Author: Cynthia Eden
Release Date: January 2nd 2013
Publisher: Harlequin
Imprint: Harlequin Intrigue
Source: Received from the publisher via NetGalley
"Julie's missing. You have to get her back."
The minute he got the message, undercover agent Logan Quinn sprang into action. Getting Juliana James out of Mexico alive was the Elite Ops covert agent's only priority. But once the senator's daughter was safely back in their Mississippi hometown, Logan had a new mission: to get another chance with the woman he couldn't lose again.
Juliana had never forgotten the day, ten years ago, when Logan left her heart in pieces. Now he was back in her life, sworn to protect her from the ruthless weapons dealer who wanted her dead. As passion blindsided her—and she was once again thrust into danger—Julie realized how much she'd risk for one more day in Logan's arms.
My Thoughts
Now this is how I like my Harlequin reads - full of sultry attraction, sneaky glances of longing, danger, intrigue, and ultimately, a decent happily-ever-after.
Cynthia Eden, while more well known for her para-romances, has written a believable thriller where nothing is as it seems, and alliances will been tried and tested beyond breaking point.
While I initially found Julie to be a wee bit annoying, I liked Logan (and his team) immediately. Very brash, bold, and definitely an Alpha male!
The romance was good, lots of unresolved feelings to process and old hurts to be healed while trying to unravel a mystery that may cost them their lives.
I'm looking forward to catching up with The Shadow Agents again soon.

My Thoughts
You can read my review of Angel Betrayed, book #2 in this series here
Every great thing that I loved about the previous book has been repeated in Angel In Chains.
This story has been very well written, flows effortlessly off the page, and was a joy to read.
I loved the characters, the storyline, the writing, everything. There were a couple of bumpy patches at the beginning, but they were easily forgiven due to the level of reading pleasure I got from this book.
I really can't wait to read the next installment from Cynthia Eden's The Fallen series.

A LITTLE BIT OF ANGEL LUST.
Sammael – call him Sam – was an angel once. An angel of death. But the dispassionate, watch-from-above thing just wasn’t working for him when it meant watching evil torture innocent souls day in and day out. It might have cost him his wings, but these days, he gets to apply the direct method on the bad guys. Problem is, what’s making his life difficult is a bad girl…
Seline O’Shaw needs protection, and with the hounds of hell on her tail, she’s not going to quibble too hard about where she gets it. Sam’s virtue is questionable, but he’s smoking hot, massively powerful, and owes her a favour. So what if she’s getting a little case of angel lust? There are some damn deadly sins after her hide…

My Thoughts
Filled with great plot twists, steeped in mystery and intrigue, the lovable and frustrating Sam is stubborn, angry, and misunderstood - and a total hottie!
Selina is strong, pigheaded and overly confident in her Succubus skills but completely at a loss when it comes to Sam, and her heritage.
The author has done a spectacular job with her characters and their background stories. I was very quickly caught up in this new and intriguing world of Angels, Demons and all things paranormal.
The very detailed world building using both traditional and new Angel rules/facts and hierarchy is exceptional, and I very much enjoyed all the new and exciting powers that the Angel's in this world had to offer.
Jam packed with adventure and excitement, Angel Betrayed is a well written story that flows effortlessly.
I cant wait to read more in this series, 4 Stars ;]
