"What's your favorite Valentine's Day story?"
I recently published my first paranormal romance, Breaking the Nexus, and this March I'm hoping to release a novella in my Mythrian Realm series, tentatively called Warrior Unleashed. This hero, Achaius Rilke, is a sexy panther Chimerae (shifter) who's a heartbreaker for sure. Don't worry though, he has a soft side too. Check out this snippet from Warrior Unleashed and be sure to snag your copy of Breaking the Nexus! It's on sale for a LIMITED time only! Just $2.99!!
Achaius Rilke could rile her temper faster than anyone she knew, but at the moment he wasn’t trying to annoy her or tempt her competitive streak. No, he was being nice to her and that was worse. She didn’t need nice, she needed to control her emotions and focus on revenge.Sighing, she dropped her arms and stepped out of the ring of power used to protect observers of training sessions. When activated, no magic or weapons could leave the circle. Without a word, she walked past the wall of chiseled muscle and grabbed her towel, scrubbing it hard over her face Working out on in the training room wasn’t helping to stop the grief roiling inside and she was perilously close to giving into it.The air shifted and she sensed him moving to stand next to her. Wild energy emanated from him and she knew his panther was straining to be let free. Of all the Chimerae she’d ever encountered, she had only ever been able to sense Achaius’ beast. The man intrigued her as much as he infuriated her, challenged her even as he pushed her to the limits of her patience.He moved closer, warmth teasing the wisps of hair at the back of her neck as he exhaled. His musky scent curled around her, enticing her to lean against his strength. Get a hold of yourself, Saia Makan.“Please, Achaius, just go away.” Exhaustion weighed upon her and she dropped to the bench, her head falling into her hands. Gods, she didn’t need this. Couldn’t he get it through his skull she wanted to wallow in self-pity alone?“Contrary to what you may think, I’m not here to give you a hard time, Saia. I’m here as a friend. Let me help.”She lifted her head, her gaze meeting his in surprise. “I don’t need your help. I’m fine.”Was that hurt that flashed in his eyes? “You’re not, but if you want to be miserable, go for it. When you’re done feeling sorry for yourself, come find me."
Don't miss Breaking the Nexus...on sale for just $2.99!
A warrior trying to save humans. A detective searching for a killer. And a romance neither expected.
Throughout history, myths and legends of extraordinary creatures have been told and retold. Fantastic tales of demons and banshees, gryphons and dragons, and of course, magic. Stories that every child grows to learn are nothing more than fantasy…or are they?
Beyond the world you see lies a hidden realm, the Mythrian Realm, inhabited by all of the creatures you’ve been told are mere fiction. Only one thing lies between humans and the truth: the Nexus. A magical barrier erected millennia ago to separate the two realms, it has stood the test of time. Until now.
For Mythrian Sha Phoenix, magic is nothing new. But when she stumbles upon a portal on the verge of collapse, her fate will forever change. Pulled through the portal into the Human Realm, she lands in the middle of Detective Connor Flynn’s brutal murder scene. Soon it is obvious someone is using blood magic to try to bring down the Nexus. Together, Connor and Sha must work to unravel the secrets before the barrier falls and the realms collide.
The Nexus is breaking and all hell is about to unleash…literally.
*** Warning this book contains graphic sex scenes featuring a sexy detective ***
My favorite valentines story is and will always be The Notebook. :)

My favorite Valentine's story (movie) is The Vow.

I would have to say Serendipity (movie).

I don't know if I have every read a book that is set for Valentine's day. But, I love the "NoteBook" movie. To think someone would day after day tell his love the same story that was their life so she could remember and come back to him takes my breathe away. I think any woman would love to get that.

My favourite Valentines day story is my own. One year, my hubby blindfolded me, drove me around town and then led me to a house. When the door opened he took off my blindfold. A very pretty young woman stood there. I have to admit, I wasn't quite sure what the surprise was. Turned out she ran a spa from her home and the gift was a full day of pampering, then he picked me up, a dozen roses in his arms and took me to dinner.
ReplyDeleteanne_lange66@yahoo.ca
OMG Your husband is awesome! I need to find a way to get mine to do that hahah!
DeleteI am not big on V-day so I don't really look for books on the topic. However I do love Molly Harper's Jane Jameson series which has a hysterical Valentines mishap in the second book!
ReplyDeletegrapeapril75(AT)gmail(DOT)com
I don't really read holiday themed books and I am not a movie watcher so... I am a sucker for a story with lots of angst and a happy ending after tons of groveling.
ReplyDeleteplanterofhope at aol dot com
I love the movie Valentine's Day.

I don't have a Valentine's Day story :( Although, without planning, My first date with my husband was Feb 12, 11 years ago, so that makes it special :)

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I've read to many books with Valentines day stories -- at least not that I can remember. Playing Hooky by Rita Webb (which I recently read) takes place on Valentines day.

We all want to love a Heartbreaker. Maybe its because of his chiseled good looks, his bad boy attitude, or the mysterious nature of him. Some Heartbreakers are just that, they know what they got and how to use it to get what they want. Then there are those Heartbreakers that don’t even realize that they are doing it. The best part about a Heartbreaker is that there is always a woman that turns their world upside down until they realize it is love. I have read many Romance Novels over the years and have run into many memorable Heartbreakers and my favorites are usually the ones that don’t even know they are Heartbreakers! Some of my personal favorite Heartbreakers are :
ReplyDeleteKade Jamenson (Werewolf) from An Alpha’s Path. Kade is a sexy werewolf that will make you burn but a mishap with a potential mate makes him not think he will find love.
Ian MacPhie (Vampire) from All I Want For Christmas is a Vampire. Ian is a heartbreaking Highland Vampire that was frozen in his immortality when he was only 15. With the help of his friend he is given a drug that helps him age to 28 so he could look like a man instead of a child after hundreds of years. He has no idea that he looks of a warrior and the lover.
Lothaire Daciano (Vampire) from Lothaire. Lothaire is definitely a heartbreaker and his cocky attitude proves it! Thinks he’s a gift to women! Its just the sucker punch from a woman he doesn’t realize is his equal that brings him down a notch.
Marius Parker from His Contrary Bride. Marius is every part the gentlemen but doesn’t realize he could also easily be the rogue!
Benjamin Gateway from To Win His Wayward Wife. Benjamin doesn’t realize that he is a heartbreaker because the one woman he loved, he lost….or did he?
Fury North (Human with Canine DNA) from Fury and Valiant North (Human with Feline DNA) from Valiant. Fury and Valiant are strong New Species and gorgeous to boot, but because they are damaged they doesn’t think they can hold onto to the women they love.
Sigimor Cameron from Highland Conqueror. Sigimor is every bit the Highland Laird and warrior but can he hold onto to the beautiful English lady?
Joshua Striker (Werewolf) from Alexandra’s Legacy. Joshua is a scared and battle hard enforcer for his pack and he thinks that he doesn’t have what it takes to make the women melt.

don't often read themed books... sad isn't it? I love spending Valentine's with my family. I think of it as more a child's holiday. I buy nice gifts for my kids.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is this year coming, my SO came back into my life after being divorced for a few years. We are now a happy family again.

My Favorite Valentines story is the one live everyday lol... I get little candies and gifts for my boys and hubby and i have a nice dinner out without the kidos... Kinda nice being the only girl i get spoiled all the time by hubby and boys.
ReplyDeleteBest memory was hubby buying me roses in high school and decorating my locker he got crap from the guys for it but it shows he doesn't care what other "tough" guys think.

My favourite story is hearing about how my cousin's fiancee hinted that he would propose on Valentine's day, but then he didn't do anything all day even though they spent it all day together. Right as she was about to give up hope he proposed at 11:55 pm. She was pissed but super happy too lol

My favorite Valentine's story is the Valentines I was 7 months pregnant with twins and believe me I really was as big as a house. I was not much in the mood to go out anywhere and impatiently wait at a restaurant so my husband cooked me dinner after pampering me all day and then game me diamond earrings. One for each baby he said to match the diamond bracelet I had gotten the year before with three diamonds on it signifying our other three children. Thanks so much for the fun giveaway and being a part of this hop. sbereza22(at)gmail(dot)com
