Imagine my surprise when things start to sizzle at the community fireworks display faster than you can sing The Star-Spangled Banner. I’ve just arrived and I’ve already had a very close encounter with two incredibly believable alien cosplayers. They’re so huge and mouth-watering I’m ready to burst while the rockets blast overhead. Even though I know it’s fake, I want to play along and join their fantasy world. It’s more fun playing their third mate than contemplating my future alone. Who wouldn’t want to be treated like a goddess by two hotter-than-sin hunks who want to be “shown the ways of love?” It’s so seductive, I’m starting to worry it will break my heart when they leave. Maybe I can convince them to drop the act and join me here on earth. Or maybe I can head for the stars with them? If only it was possible.     AmazonKU

A SPARKLER FOR HER PRINCES by Sibley Stamps

Wegg: Uwegg wants nothing more than a traditional Jyrr marriage triad. Unfortunately, his heart is set on the one man he can’t have: his best friend Tennoray. Thanks to a rare (and harmless) genetic condition, Tennoray is forbidden to marry or father any children. Wegg proposes a drastic solution to their problem: leave their whole backward planet behind, together. Tennoray: The lavish lifestyle of a prince means nothing when you’re seen as an abomination. A genetic fluke means that Tennoray has been denied everything he could ever want, including a future with his best friend, the Jyrr crown prince Uwegg. Neither he nor Wegg can imagine a future without the other, so they escape together. Earth seems like a quiet planet to hide on for awhile—which is a good thing, because their ship is grounded, and Tennoray can’t find Wegg anywhere…Quinn: Ever since her hair turned white in her teens, Quinn has gotten used to the stares. Still, staying home on the 4th of July is a nice break from getting gawked at in her new town. Among the fireworks, she spots something incredible: a UFO crash-landing in the field behind the house! The gorgeous blue alien that emerges looks like some kind of demon, but he seems civilized—and he needs her help. If the friend he’s looking for is half as charming as him, who knows where the night might lead? (A Sparkler For Her Princes is a novella featuring alternating POVs, polyamorous romance, colorful alien men with horns, psychic fated mates instalove, spicy M/M/F scenes with tails, and a guaranteed HEA.      AmazonKU

************************BRIEF BREAK BEFORE THE FANTASY/PNR BOOKS!***************************************

VS Note: TWO AGAINST THE STARS is the third book in my alien empath series (each can be read as a standalone). In this one the female main character manages to escape her handler from the interstellar mob and hides in a slum area of an alien planet. This book is one of my very favorites because at one point the FMC and the MMC are in a cabin in the woods (yes, just one bed – how did you know?) and for that portion of the book, I drew on memories from my childhood, of the cabin in the woods my grandfather built and all the time I spent there as a kid. I never met any alien empaths though…

TWO AGAINST THE STARS by Veronica Scott

Empathic priestess Carialle has escaped the evil Amarotu Combine, but she’s hardly out of danger. Not when she risks everything to rescue a drugged man from a crooked veterans’ clinic. By lulling the clinic staff to sleep, she reveals her powers. And once again, criminals are after her and her rescuer.

Marcus Valerian, a wounded Special Forces veteran, never expected to have his life threatened by the clinic that’s supposed to help ex-soldiers like him. But when he wakes from a drugged state to find a lovely woman urging him to run–he does. In his family’s remote fishing cabin, he suffers the agony of withdrawal, soothed only by her powers.

In their idyllic hideaway, the two also discover a nova-hot attraction flaring. But can they stay alive long enough for it to become more? Not if the Combine has anything to say–they are not giving up until Marcus is dead and Carialle is their weapon

So she continues to travel through the portal, turning her back on everything and everyone that was her reality, in an effort to find her mate. Magics handed down through her family have given her the power to activate the portal, but fate has dealt her a cruel hand in that she can’t control when she arrives in whatever time it takes her to. So she always arrives just moments too late, her mate dying in her arms, just as a spark of recognition flares behind his eyes. After twenty-five years, and times too many to count, she’s broken and unwilling to watch him die again. All she wants now is to fade away herself. But the fates take pity on her, giving her an advantage she never saw coming. She pulls herself together and forces herself through the portal one last time. Maybe this time will be different. It has to be, because if she fails this time, it will be the end. This is her last chance to save him.   AmazonKU

And I have no interest in becoming their lethal little pet. “Try to tame me,” I dare them. “We have no interest in taming you, sweet pet,” they say. “We want to make you ours.” “Ours to worship.” “Ours to love.” “Ours to keep.”   AmazonKU

WRECKED BY WEREWOLVES (MIDLIFE MONSTERS BOOK THREE) by Margo Bond Collins

Just a few months ago, I was a regular divorced mother of two—working from home, participating in the PTA, and ready to start dating again.
Then I went on a date with an evil vampire, accidentally killed him, and was drafted into the supernatural SWAT team that showed up too late to save me. Working with the paranormal police force left me worried about werewolves. Not only my overly attractive boss Anson Bentley, but also Gerard Collier, the werewolf pack alpha who’s determined to gain control over me. Not to mention the werewolves we rescued from Collier’s mistreated pack. And as it turns out, I was right to be concerned. Because now I’m convinced one—or maybe all—of those werewolves will destroy my life. Unless, of course, I can find a way to use the magical crystal ball I’ve apparently inherited to bring all the werewolves in my life under control. One way or another, though, one thing’s for certain. Someone’s going to end up wrecked by werewolves.   Amazon     Apple Books     Kobo

Sexual healing helps, but he’s mateless and there’s only so much random d*ck he can take before that gets old. Not that he’d admit that to anyone. He has a rep to maintain. The instant someone starts killing off his prisoners, Gideon senses it. The coven goes on high alert to search for who’s targeting their otherwordly captives, but not before Lucifer gets involved—and—Gideon’s mates show up in town. What’s a boy to do but to go to Hell and back to protect what’s his?   AmazonKU

A NOVEL LOVE STORY by Ashley Poston

Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don’t leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she’s so set on going her annual book club retreat this year—she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures—no matter what.
But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it’s right out of a novel…
Because it is. This place can’t be real, and yet… she’s here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store’s honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar’s burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. It’s perfect—and perfectly frozen, trapped in the late author’s last unfinished story. Elsy is sure that’s why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending. Except there is a character in Eloraton that she can’t place—a grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book. Which is a problem because Elsy is beginning to think the town’s happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.
