Sweeter Than Sin 
(Secrets & Shadows #2)
by Shiloh Walker

Blurb: 
CAN’T FORGET THE PAIN

It took years for Adam to stop drowning his regrets in alcohol, and running the local bar doesn't make it any easier—especially not when everyone he knows gathers there to discuss the shocking allegations that have shattered his hometown. When another murder rocks sleepy Madison to its core, it becomes chillingly clear that even more vicious wounds are waiting to be exposed.

WON’T RESIST THE PLEASURE

Nothing is sacred anymore, and no one is safe, least of all the mystery woman who shows up in town out of the blue, looking like every fantasy Adam’s ever had. She may have her own dangerous secrets, but she can’t ignore the urgent heat between them any more than he can. As a killer’s quest for vengeance explodes into violence, Adam is tempted to lose himself in the delicious promise of her body—until he realizes he’ll risk anything if she’ll give him her heart…in Sweeter than Sin by Shiloh Walker.

Excerpt

He was staring at her mouth.

Her heart stuttered to a stop, her breath catching in her throat as their gazes locked.

“Fuck,” he muttered.

And then he lowered his head, his mouth slanting over hers, his hands pushing into her hair.

Well, that was one plan she could get on board with.  That one night kept replaying itself over and over in her mind and now it was a fever in her blood, something that was turning into an obsession.

He was turning into an obsession.

His body was hot against her own, his chest damp and sweaty under the ragged t-shirt, his skin furnace-hot.  She wanted to peel his clothes away, then her own and press up against him, have him press her against whatever surface was available and then push inside.  Hot, hard and fast.  Anything to ease the ache inside her.

Groaning, she slid her arms around his waist, skimming her hands under the hem of his shirt.  When she found his skin, silken smooth and hot, she sank her nails into it.

He hissed against her mouth and nipped at her tongue.

That only made it worse and an ache settled deep down inside, panging inside her womb, a hungry, needing little beast that was going to drive her mad.

He caught her face and angled her head up and to the side as he ran his mouth down her neck.  “You want to drive me mad,” he muttered.  “That’s just all there is to it.”

“We can go mad together,” she said, trying to breathe around the raging ball of want inside her.

“Sounds like a plan.”  He leaned back, grabbed the hem of her shirt.

“Good plan.” She started to strip his away.

The little clicking sound didn’t register at first.  Not right away.  Even the light breeze dancing across her flesh didn’t entirely click.  Not until Adam looked away.

She followed his gaze.  And her heart jumped up into her throat, and lodged there.

Author Interview: Beautiful Scars by Shiloh Walker

Hello Shiloh and welcome to Enchantress of Books!! Delighted to have you!!                       

Thanks for having me…

Can you tell us a bit more about Chaili and Marc, the hero and heroine in “Beautiful Scars”?

Marc is a famous musician.  Chaili is one of his closest friends.  She’s known him since high school, when he was just hoping to make it as a musician, and she loved him then.  She still loves him, but she’s kind of given up hoping that he’ll ever notice her.

What inspired you to write “Beautiful Scars”?

A picture.  If you read the book, it will make more sense.

Author Interview (Blog Tour): "Broken Blade" by J.C. Daniels

Hi JC!! Welcome to Enchantress of Books! I’m so excited you’re hanging out with us today!

Thanks for having me.

JC, tell us about the Colbana Files Series. 

In a nutshell?  She’s a smartass with a sword.

LOL! I like her already!! Where did you find your inspiration for this series? 

That would be hard to say… ideas for stories just sort of come to me.  The first story I wrote was a short story, for Tor.com, A Stroke of Dumb Luck, and I wrote that one because I wanted to try something that was more urban fantasy without any romance to it—it was a really short, short story so there wasn’t room for romance.  I wanted to expand on it, but I didn’t know how.  I played with it for a couple of years and then one day—BAM—it was like a lightning strike.  Kit, and company, was pretty much fully formed in my head.

Kit is a half breed, assassin, thief, investigator extraordinaire, basically a jack of all trades. What else can you tell us about her? 

She’s weaker than most of those around her.  She has to rely on her wits to make it.  Her stubbornness keeps her going, more than anything else.

How has Kit developed/grown from “Blade Song (book 1)” to where she is now in “Broken Blade (book 3)”? 

That’s a tricky question.  If people haven’t read Night Blade, the second book, they aren’t going to understand that Kit starts out book 3 pretty much broken.  Only Kit was never really whole to begin with. She didn’t entirely understand that, though.  She’ll start to realize that as the series go on and learn how to piece herself together and make herself stronger.  In book 3, she starts piecing herself together from the ground up.

What can you tell us about Kit’s and Damon’s relationship? 

A lot.  But I won’t.  Not yet.

Oh you're such a tease! But we love you so you're forgiven! What is it about this genre that you enjoy so much as a reader? And as a writer, what about this genre made you want to write it in the first place? 

I love the way the worlds change from one book to the next.  And the very thing I love about the genre is the reason I wanted to take a shot at writing it.

Is there anything you’d like to tell your readers about what’s coming next in the series? 

I hate to give away secrets… but I’m working on book 4 and playing with an idea for a short story—a prequel of sorts about how Kit got into the investigative work and how she met her friend, Justin.

Oh, that sounds awesome!! Can't wait!! Thank you so much for stopping by hanging out with us!!

And THANK YOU for hanging out w/ J.C. and me today. If you haven't read the series or this installment, scroll below to read the book's blurb and links where you can find the book. Also, check out the exclusive excerpt and don't forget to enter the awesome giveaway!!! 

Broken Blade (Colbana Files #3)

By

 J.C. Daniels

Blurb: 

Kit Colbana: assassin, thief, investigator extraordinaire. Now broken. She always expected her past to catch up with her but never like this. Haunted by nightmares and stripped of her identity, she’s retreated to Wolf Haven, the no-man’s land where she found refuge years before. But while she might want to hide away from the rest of the world, the rest of the world isn’t taking the hint.

Dragged kicking and screaming back into life, Kit is thrust head-first into an investigation surrounding the theft of an ancient relic...one that she wants nothing to do with. Her instincts tell her it’s a bad idea to just leave the relic lying about, but finding it might be just as bad.

Forced to face her nightmares, she uncovers hidden strength and comes face to face with one of the world’s original monsters.

If she survives the job, she won’t be the same...and neither will those closest to her.

Excerpt

“I don’t like that woman, Damon. I don’t like her at all.”

A muscle in his jaw pulsed. “She’s a bitch, but the clan doesn't exactly give out phone numbers just because a human girl calls up looking for one.”

“And what about when your girlfriend calls to talk to you after a fight?” I don’t know if I’d meant to talk about that or not. But the words ripped out of me and…and they were just there. Thrown out like a sucker-punch and now they hung between us like an ugly, red stain.

Silence struck, heavy and weighted, crackling with more tension that I could stand.
Damon came off the couch in a smooth, controlled motion, his eyes locked on my face and everything inside him seemed…quiet.

Too quiet. All of that caged, restless energy was sucked down and he just stared at me, unblinking. It was damned unnerving.


Seconds ticked by and finally, he said softly, “What did you just say?”

Book Review: Bound Temptations by Shiloh Walker

Bound Temptations
By Shiloh Walker

Synopsis: 
Print edition of two previously released ebooks, "TEMPT ME" and "BEG ME"

TEMPT ME
She’s a temptation he can’t resist…

Roxanne ‘Rocki’ Monroe’s life is full of secrets and hidden heartaches. Cole Stanton would love to heal her pain and chase away the ghosts of her past, but she’s just a complication he doesn’t have room for in his life.

Or so he thinks.

It doesn’t take Cole long to realize he’s more than willing to let temptation get the best of him, more than happy to deal with complications if that’s what it takes to get her.

What he has and what he needs are two different things…and what he needs is Rocki.

BEG ME
Beg me…there had been a time when those words made her burn with desire. But now, there was only fear.

Once, Tania Sinclair’s life was almost perfect…But a couple of tragedies later, she’s barely holding it together. A car accident took away her husband, and an attack from somebody she should have been able to trust has shaken not only her confidence, but it’s also stripped away her fantasies and even made it painful to look back on her memories of her husband without fear.

Two years after her attack, Tania is determined to take her life back and the first step is taking back herself…her fantasies, her dreams, her memories. There’s only one person she can trust to do it, too. One person she wants enough…Drake Bennett, her husband’s best friend.
