Blog Tour: Mistletoe Kisses by Marnie Blue

Meet the Author:

Marnie hates having her picture taken; thus she looks like a deer in the headlights in most photos. When she's not hiding from the camera, she's cooking keto meals for her law enforcement officer husband and three kids, or scaling the mountain of laundry her family continually creates. Basically, she's a regular trapped-at-home mom, except she's got other people living in her head, demanding she let them out and tell their stories. This is where her enjoyment of the snarky, sarcastic '50's housewife memes began; she only wishes she could be so glamorous when acting as a slave to her home. Marnie enjoys lonely walks on the RI beaches (when she can get to them--it's a Rhode Island thing), gardening (but not weeding) and coffee. Lots and lots (and lots!) of coffee.

About the Book:

For Officer Justin Weaver, Christmas is the most hideous time of the year. To improve his “holiday cheer,” he’s been put on Officer Kringle duty, collecting toys for the Ho-Ho-Patrol. It’s a week in holiday hell. Worse, it comes with an elf—his little sister’s gorgeous best friend—but Lilly Maddox isn’t so little anymore. And as an annoyingly festive reporter looking to make her mark, she’s there to document his every move. Justin’s always had a thing for Lilly, but he refuses to go there with her. Ever. Not after watching what his mom went through as a cop’s wife. But now that they’re trapped in his squad car, avoiding her just got a lot more complicated…

Release Blitz: Crushing On The Cop by Piper Rayne

 

 

 Cristian Bianco has two things against him—he’s a police officer and he’s a police officer in the 18th District…meaning my dad is his boss. Growing up as the Commander’s daughter and having his magnifying glass focused on everything I did was more than I could handle. Now, I’m out on my own, living by my own rules. Well, mostly. The ‘job’ I created for myself has me in some hot water and my exit strategy isn’t exactly working out how I’d hoped. Which is why when my best friend bids on Cristian for me at a charity bachelor auction, I’m not having it. A man in blue is only going to be one thing for me—a problem. Except after his brother starts dating my best friend he becomes harder to ignore. The eight-pack abs. The sense of style only a girl like me can appreciate. The way he puts his family first. It all adds up to make him one irresistible prospect and has me wondering if he knows how to use those handcuffs the right way—by locking my wrists to his headboard. ADD TO GOODREADS

EXCERPT

Gabi pulled her thoughts together and headed toward the door. It’d been a couple of hours since she and Jake had woken up, and...well... If he was downstairs, she wanted to start the day again. The men would be leaving for Vegas again, and she wanted every second she could get with him before they did. Catching sight of her wrist cuffs, she reached for them without thought. But as she touched the soft leather, she remembered they were no longer appropriate and pulled her hand back, leaving them where they waited—ignoring the pang in her heart.

Enough.

She walked over to the mirror to have a chat with herself when something in her reflection caught her attention. Her eyes focused in on blue script peeking out along her collarbone. There’d been so much to distract her, she’d forgotten about Jake writing on her! Stepping closer to the mirror, her heart pounded as she pulled the fabric back to reveal the words reflected backwards.

His Power

She ran her fingers across the script written by Jake and her heart ached. It was one thing to see his words in her own writing, but something altogether different to see them in his writing. But what did he mean by, his power?

She grabbed the hand mirror and pivoted to read what he’d written on the back of her shoulder.

Comes from her Gift

It took a moment to register, but then it clicked. There was something so poignant in that simple statement that Gabi found herself unable to move from the spot. As if almost for the first time, she realized that, without a submissive, a Dominant’s power couldn’t exist. Without a partner, he had no one to lead.

His power came from her.

Not because he demanded it. Not because he wanted it. Not because he decided it.

But because she did.

About FROM BREATH AND RUIN

Now, factions of both the light and dark venture into the human realm in search of the prophesied Spirit Priestess who is said to Wield the Elements of Five and bring the two fractured kingdoms together.

About the ELEMENTS OF FIVE series

One thousand years ago, there was one realm of magic. The Maison Realm. It held five kingdoms with five kings or queens, who worked together to keep the Maison people safe and ensure the balance of magic. Over the last five hundred years following the Fall, the great war that began the fracture, many of the kingdoms’ inhabitants intermated, and the magics soon became tied to one another in pairs. Except for the Spirit Wielders. The two remaining kingdoms are now converging, and the veil between the two is fading. Only the human realm lies between the two, and no one there knows there is a war surrounding them.

Over time, certain children of the Fall began to leave their respective kingdoms to venture into the human realm in search of the prophesied Spirit Priestess who is said to wield the Elements of Five and bring the two fractured kingdoms together. For the realms are dying without their sister magics. And soon, there will be no more power left to rule the kingdoms, for there will be no more kingdoms left to rule.

EXCERPT

It’s not the stunning view of nature catching my eye, it’s the exquisite head of dark chestnut hair with a smooth pony tail hanging down the center of the light skin of her shoulders. She’s sitting on the pier, the skirt of her deep blue sundress pooling on her thighs while she swings her bare feet in the water tossing bread crumbs to some ducks floating in front of her. 

I lean near Peg’s ear, “quiet girl, lets sneak up on her,” she nods in response and I swear rises on the tips of her hoofs slinking near the dock. Demon dog with three heads is sleeping at Megs back, two heads hear our approach, but Pegasus flicks her ears and they sulk back down. 

Some days I swear I’ve entered the Twilight Zone with these animals and their abilities. I’ve learned it’s best not to question but to chalk it up to another of the strange and unusual in Farawayville. 

A few quacks blend with the burbling sound of her feet making light splashes. We creep as close as we can get, I drop from the horse continuing to ease toward her. I approach with stealth, squatting I reach out a hand to lower one strap of her dress allowing my mouth access to all her delicate skin. My mind plots a sexy attack where I lean her back on the wooden slats, slide off her panties and feast on the sugar between her thighs. A steel rod forms behind the metal teeth of my zipper, totally on board with my plan.  

Seconds before my fantasy becomes a reality the radio on my hip, the one I forgot to turn down, gives a shrill pulsing tone. Raja jumps to his paws slapping Meg on the back, she squeals before tipping off the deck into the water. Three snarling heads jerk my way knocking me on my ass and the ducks who happily munched on bread scatter to avoid Meg.

Benson Bayou Beauregard is the president of the Bear Bottom Guardians MC, and the grandson of the Sergeant at Arms for the Dixie Wardens MC. He’s a mountain of a man and the warden of a prison, and there’s only one thing that can scare him—being told that he’s the father of a three-year-old little girl. A three-year-old little girl that has no clue who he is. Hell, he only finds out about the little cherub when a woman from child protective services comes by and rocks his world before leaving the girl in his shocked arms. Every single thing he thinks he knows goes up in a cloud of smoke. To make matters worse, the woman that he’s been trying to convince to give him a chance takes one look at the little girl and tells him that he’s just not in the right place to handle both of them. But Bayou was never one to back down from a challenge. He can handle a three-year-old girl that acts exactly like him, and he can more than take on the fiery red-head that sets flame to his blood while he’s at it. ADD TO GOODREADS

Release Blitz: Fall by Kristen Callihan

  

  

The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways. In my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip. Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands. Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected he’d be my new neighbor. An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar naked–spectacularly naked–in his living room. Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore—not the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun. Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet we’re quickly becoming each other’s addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything. All we have to do is trust enough to fall.      

AMAZON | APPLE BOOKS | B&N

          

     I clear my throat. “While I was eating my ice cream—” He snorts, but remains tense. “I thought about how you looked familiar to me.” “It was the guilt haunting you.” “Or … And I’m just throwing this out there. You’re Jax Blackwood.” He actually flinches. “Fuck. You recognized me.” “It was bound to happen. John? Really?” His chin tips in a pugnacious angle. “It’s my name. John is … me. Jax is who I am onstage.” I picture him performing, all electric energy and raw passion and sheer talent. It’s a sight to behold. Hell, a couple of really hot fantasies have been induced by that sight. While I’m lost in a teen fantasy, his eyes dart around like he’s expecting someone to pop out from behind a snow mound and take his picture. Then his gaze snags on me. My expression must be slightly punch drunk, because his entire body leans away from mine. Not exactly flattering to realize he’s afraid I’ll try to lick his face or something. I snap my gaping mouth closed. “Oh, calm down. It’s not like I’m going to start squealing and try to grab your junk.” His expression lightens a little. “I think if you grabbed my junk, I’d be the one squealing.” “True. I have surprisingly strong hands.” When he stares at me in horror, I hold them up and wiggle my fingers. “Yoga. It’s highly effective.” “My balls just flinched in terror.” “Consider yourself warned.” He snorts but then glances at our building. “You really live here?” “Do you really think I hunted you down?” John—because I can’t seem to think of him as Jax—runs his hand through his damp hair, which makes his biceps bunch and twitch. “Yeah … that does sound crazy.” Crazy. This whole situation is. One day, I’m offered a four-month home in a dream condo, the next I’m standing on my stoop talking to a rock star. The biggest legend of my generation. I honestly don’t know how I’m not stammering right now. “I can’t believe we’re neighbors,” I say without thinking. His green eyes glint in the afternoon light, but he pauses and looks at me more closely. “You know, not to sound conceited here, but you’re kind of leering at me right now.” My chin snaps up like I’ve been hit, even as my body flushes with embarrassment. Shit. I totally had been leering. No, not leering. But I had been staring at him in awe. Ugh. “Well, you do sound conceited. I was simply making polite eye contact.” Liar McLiar-Face.
