NOW LIVE!

Come sit by the fire with tea and your knitting needles—and take a deeper dive into the world of South Myrddin. From fated mates to ships passing in the night to an ill-fated romance and more, the anthology puts a magnifying glass on many in the village. You’ll want a strong brew to enjoy while you delve into the mysteries.

Her Name Was Ness

Learn the truth behind the myth of Loch Ness. Follow the dramatic tale of Ness MacDougal and the two who hold her heart. Beset on all sides by warring warlocks, druids, and vampires. Can the three lovers find their escape before her family castle is brought down around them?

Whey to His Heart

When fated mates meet over the renovation of an old stone cottage, an introverted lion shifter and a gargoyle stonemason find themselves building a connection stone by stone. The two men battle the weather, their own doubts, and their chronic illness to find common ground. Sometimes, the universe knows just what one needs in life.

Pay the Piper

Two beautiful shifters have one amazingly satisfying night. Aroha Kiri spends most of her time making beautiful jewellery. She finds herself delightfully distracted by a roaming bagpipe-playing dancer who moves to the beat of her own rhythm.

Snapshots of a Faded Affair

From awkward, almost sweet beginning to bitterly icy end, Emrys and Jonatan Pacehco can never seem to forget each other. If soulmates were fated, their bond has to be cursed. Despite a gulf of time and pain between them, it is nigh impossible for them to say goodbye.

Deleted Scenes

A collection of short bits and pieces that don’t quite fit into the series. See Hyde’s arrival in the village and learn about Emrys’s connection to the land. The chaos kittens make their very first appearance in their vampire’s world.

Review: Embraced (Enduring Kiss #4) - C.E. Black

Embraced by C.E. Black Ann's rating: 5 of 5 stars Read as a standalone.  This is a fantastic book. It is an easy read but don’t start reading it too late at night or you will probably end up with a book hangover. It is very difficult to put down. Sean is a lost wolf. The woman he loves has married another man, and he is heartbroken. To relieve his suffering, he decides to get out of town and have a drink or two, then he meets Sarah. Sarah is a business owner of a bakery called Decadent Delights and her life seems to be going just the way she wants…until she meets Sean at the bar. Instantly there is an overwhelming attraction and she takes him home with her. Hot animalistic sex occurs (pun intended since Sean is a werewolf). But Sean leaves after one night. He can’t stay because Sarah is human and humans don’t mate with wolves. Two months later, Sarah has a major surprise and goes looking for Sean. And then the fun really begins. This story has sorrow, angst, anger but als...

Tour Review, Post & Giveaway: Shudder - Samantha Durante

Reviewer: Bex Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies Shudder is a strong follow on from Stitch, a book that I thoroughly enjoyed. What I particular enjoyed and thought that the author managed extremely well was the multiple viewpoints that she built in with the narrative. Not only did this allow us extra insight into the characters, but also the varying points of views added lovely depth to the novel. Samantha Durante's craft has improved and developed since book one. On the whole, her writing is tighter and flows that much easier. There were still a few moments within the dialogue that I felt was a little awkward, yet others could easily disagree. I’m just a stickler and very particular with dialogue. Yet again, there’s a fabulous twist that Durante mastered with skill and ease. This one wasn’t quite as much as a shocker as Stitch, but it still successfully made me do a double take just to be certain. Just the same as Stitch, Shudder left me ready and most definitely eager for t...
