His fingers were on the sides of my head, thumbs resting at the corners of my lips where his were placed ever-so precariously as he continued, “You, Nariella, are my light. You’re the last note to my song. It will always be you. You are who I’m meant to be with. If we didn’t endure hardships to be together then we couldn’t be meant for each other. How else can we know it’s meant to be unless after walking through hell and back our love remains pure and strong? I care not of destiny or fate. I do not believe such a thing, because no matter what force may try and stop me, what may do its best to interfere, I will return to you. I will always come back to you, Nariella. Always.”
“No, you—you can’t say things like that. You can’t–” His lips were fully on mine then, cutting my opposition off mid-sentence. His fingers were sliding along my cheeks until they were tangled up in my hair. They slid downward through long strands before reclaiming their spot at the sides of my face. They stretched over the crown of my head, his thumbs left hugging tenderly to the space in front of my ears. My lips betrayed Ender’s wishes—my own wishes—clinging to Mycah’s as if thriving on his generous life-support.
Darn them.
I melted into him wholly and completely. I could think of nothing but his heart beating beneath my fingertips that were clasped around his wrists. The sweetness of his taste that enveloped my tongue; the still of his breath that he held in anticipation of my reaction to him.
And so I couldn’t help myself. I let go of my self-restraint and kissed him back with a heavy heart. A heart that was held down by the weight of the world, because this would be the last time that I ever kissed Mycah Nightly.

Two authors with novellas that you don't want to miss!
=========================================
TIME AND TIME AGAIN by Chantal Fernando
 
I always thought I had luck on my side.
Things seemed to go in my favour, whether by will or by nature. But that luck just ran out. Jobless and on the verge of being homeless, I find a strength in me that I didn’t even know existed and discover an unlikely savior --- Tag. He avoids commitment like the plague, and starting anything with him will only lead to heartbreak. I know this. He knows this. So why am I still here? Oh, right. Because I want him more than I want my next breath.


=========================================
THE BROKEN PIECES OF US by M.N. Forgy
Babs is no stranger to the MC world. As an ol’ lady, she takes the hell that comes with it and dishes it out times two. When things take a turn for the worst, it leaves her questioning just how equipped she is for the hell she lives. She thought her marriage with Locks was it; that she had it all. But the past has a way of sneaking up and tearing life apart. Finding herself trapped as Locks’ ol’ lady, with the threat she will be his till the grave, her world spirals out of control. The only person risking it all to save her is the last person she thought would care: Bull.
President of the Devil’s Dust MC, Bull, is good at running women off and is even better at pissing off his brothers. When he sees the way his vice-president is treating his ol’ lady, he tries to keep his thoughts to himself. The one thing Bull insists on in his club is respect and loyalty: respect for the patch, respect for your brother, and loyalty to the club. However, after finding Babs in a harsh predicament after a run in with Locks, he can’t help but step in. Crossing lines and hurdling around life’s unpredictability, will they find refuge in each other or will they have to endure what life gives them?
***WARNING - This is not your typical happily ever after.

Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it-the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set-one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain. 

 Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game-at only twenty-six years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington D.C. major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the west coast's most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's footsteps. 

 As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want to.  

And don't miss the first book in this thrilling series BURYING WATER...

Burying Water

Amazon ** Barnes & Noble ** iBooks ** Kobo ** IndieBound


 The top-selling, beloved indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.

 Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him? 

 Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried. The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

BLOG TOUR: Mask by Teodora Kostova




Adam Fischer doesn’t believe in second chances. Heartbroken after his lover Charlie leaves him to chase his music career in L.A., Adam is convinced that meaningless one-night-stands are all life has in store for him.

Until fate drops Penn Shields in his lap.

Penn is a young, talented designer fresh out of college who has just landed his dream job as a wardrobe assistant in Queen Victoria theatre, where Adam is performing in a popular musical.

He’s also Charlie's brother.

The last thing Penn wants is to follow in his brother’s footsteps, especially since they haven’t spoken in years. However, the attraction he feels for Adam grows with each day, and soon resisting it proves to be futile.

As Adam and Penn get to know each other intimately, they both realize that first impressions may be deceiving, and that, sometimes, second chances come in the same packaging.

*explicit sexual content, graphic language and adult themes. Recommended for readers 18+ only*





I am so tickled that I get to give you guys a little insight in to Teodora's world...Find out a little more about her and her books...Check out the interview she and I had..


Kat: What inspired you to write m/m romance?
Teodora: I'm an avid reader of the genre and have been for a while, but I never made plans to write a mm romance book. I was actually supposed to be writing Colour me Inside - the third book in my Heartbeat series. But I wasn't feeling it and was blocked for months, unable to write a word, when one night as I was watching a musical in London's West End, the story of Jared and Fenix hit me so hard that I couldn't wait to get home and start writing it. I rediscovered my passion for writing that same night so I decided not to question it and just write it. The story was about two men so that's how I wrote it. Dance was accepted so well into the genre and quickly acquired many fans, most of who urged me to write Adam's story. So, without having planned it, in a few months I had 2 mm romance books under my belt.
Kat: Cool...Who is your favorite character out of Dance and Mask so far?
Teodora: I love them all! They all have qualities I admire and sometimes I wish they were real so that I can hug them and tell them how much I love them.
Kat: Oh now wouldn't that be awesome...so, who is your least favorite in the series?
Teodora: Hmm... I really don't have a character that I don't like, but if I had to name someone I'd go with Charlie because he broke my Adam's heart, and hurt my Penn and I can't forgive him.
Kat: *nodding* I can agree there...Will there be a book 3 in this series?
Teodora: Yes Again, I didn't plan it, but as I was writing Mask, Sonnie and Riley's characters ambushed me and I'll write their story at some point next year.
Kat: YAY!! I know your readers are very happy to hear that... Now, what do you like to do for fun?
Teodora: Read! Haha - yes, I'm that boring! I'm happiest holding a book in my hands, I admit. But other than that, I like to watch TV series and hand out with my husband and my kid. I neglect them a lot when I'm writing so it's nice to have some quality time together and just relax.
Kat: Hey, nothing wrong with reading... LOL...I know you are an avid lover of music...tell me...Top 3 songs on your ipod right now that you are listening to?
Teodora: Waves - Mr. Probz; Amnesia - 5 Seconds of Summer; Centuries - Fall Out Boy.
Kat: Oooohhh....I am loving Centuries right now too!! If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Teodora: Gosh, so hard to choose! I want to go everywhere! Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Italy, so I'd readily go there any time, as many times as I can. But other than that, I'd love to visit some of my friends in USA, as well as South America - Mexico, Brasil, Cuba...
Kat: Some awesome places there that I would like to see too!! Any other future plans that you can let us in on??
Teodora: I'm currently writing a Christmas novella about all my boys - Adam and Penn head to Sweden to visit Jared and Fenix for the holidays. It takes place about a year after Mask ends and we'll get a little glimpse of what their lives are like at that point. I haven't announced that yet, so there you go - exclusive news The audio book for Dance is almost ready as well and should be out soon, and I'm super excited about In a Heartbeat being published in Portuguese in Brasil very soon!

Many many thanks to Teodora to answering my questions. I am super glad that you guys got to meet her and find out a little bit about one of my favorite authors...
So, now, check out the rest of the post and make sure you enter the FABULOUS GIVEAWAY!!




The night passed in a blur of music, dancing, laughter, and glasses clicking together. The smile never left Penn’s face, and he looked like he was having the most fun, even though he switched to sparkling water after the second cocktail. Adam loved dancing with him, holding him tight as Penn wiggled that delicious ass against Adam's hips. He loved the way his skin smelled when it was flushed and sweaty, and couldn’t help but kiss him every chance he got.
By 2:00 AM the club started to wind down. Jared and Fenix were still dancing, holding each other as they swayed to the slow, sexy rhythm of the current song. Penn placed his empty glass on the table and turned to look at Adam over his shoulder. Adam knew that look. That look promised some very naughty things happening to him in the near future.
Turning to fully face Adam, Penn moved to straddle his hips and lock his hands behind his neck. He then dipped his head and gave Adam a teasing, sensual kiss, just lips moving against lips, until Adam groaned and buckled his hips to meet Penn’s.
“Wanna dance?” Penn asked as he separated their mouths. Adam shook his head vigorously and hooking a hand behind his neck, bringing Penn down again. He kissed him urgently, demanding instant access with his tongue. Penn allowed him in, grinding their hips together in the slow rhythm of the song, and moaning obscenely as Adam cupped his ass and squeezed.
Just then, the song changed. Hearing the first notes of Nix’s latest ballad, Penn froze. His mouth was slack against Adam's and his fingers were surely leaving red marks on Adam's neck.
Did he always have that reaction when hearing one of his brother’s songs? Or was it just because he was there with Adam?
Adam didn't care. He didn't want Penn to feel like that.
“Hey,” he whispered in Penn’s ear, moving his hands from Penn’s ass to circle them around his waist. “I see you.” Penn cast him a surprised, confused look, the hesitation and disbelieve in his grey gaze grabbing on something inside Adam and twisting it until it hurt. “Alright? You,” he said, pointing a finger at Penn’s chest, and placing his palm right over his heart. “You,” he repeated in a whisper, closing his eyes against the moisture that had suddenly appeared there.
Penn touched their foreheads together and Adam felt him nod.
For now, that small gesture of agreement would have to do.









Hi, my name is Teodora and I live in London with my husband and my son. I've been writing ever since I can remember, but it became my full time job a few years ago when I decided that everything else I've tried bores me to death and I have to do what I've always wanted to do, but never had the guts to fully embrace. I've been a journalist, an editor, a personal assistant and an interior designer among other things, but as soon as the novelty of the new, exciting job wears off, I always go back to writing. Being twitchy, impatient, loud and hasty are not qualities that help a writer, because I have to sit alone, preferably still, and write for most of the day, but I absolutely love it. It's the only time that I'm truly at peace and the only thing I can do for more than ten minutes at a time - my son has a bigger attention span than me.
When I'm procrastinating, I like to go to the gym, cook Italian meals (and eat them), read, listen to rock music, watch indie movies and True Blood re-runs. Or, in the worst case scenario, get beaten at every Nintendo Wii game by a kid.

Don't be shy and get in touch - I love connecting with my readers.
 



Teodora Kostova has blown me away again...After reading Dance I wasn't sure how I would like Adam.  He was a character that I wanted to slap and I just didn't like him much...
So as Mask released I was worried on how much I would connect with the book since I knew it was about him.
Well, I don't know why I was worried.  I mean, this is Teodora and I know she is brilliant...
And it shows...SHINES in Mask.
The things I didn't understand about Adam from Dance are brought to light in this book and my whole opinion changed on him.  And let me say...it definitely helps having a phenomenal character such as Penn.  He took my breath away.  He amazed me in the way he looked at life and the people he cared about.  He was the perfect match for Adam.  
I really could not have seen a better fit of two people than Adam and Penn together...
It wasn't a smooth sailing type of relationship....Anything but...But this story allows you to see a beautiful love bloom between two individuals that needed something only the other could give...
A wonderfully written tale that had me falling in love with two stunning men that took my breath away.  Their story is one of true love...true romance...
A definite must read!!

CHARACTER TOUR: The Collectors Society by Heather Lyons


Hello everyone!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my character for THE COLLECTORS SOCIETY Character tour.....Please make sure that you check out all the other blogs and meet the other amazing cast from this awesome book...

So, today, I am so excited to be able to introduce you to Mary...She is one spunky fiery woman and all I can say is...READ this book to find out more about her and the other fabulous characters...
But for now, scroll below to find out some interesting facts about her...






From the author of the Fate series and The Deep End of the Sea comes a fantastical romantic adventure that has Alice tumbling down the strangest rabbit hole yet.

After years in Wonderland, Alice has returned to England as an adult, desperate to reclaim sanity and control over her life. An enigmatic gentleman with an intriguing job offer too tempting to resist changes her plans for a calm existence, though. Soon, she’s whisked to New York and initiated into the Collectors’ Society, a secret organization whose members confirm that famous stories are anything but straightforward and that what she knows about the world is only a fraction of the truth.

It’s there she discovers villains are afoot—ones who want to shelve the lives of countless beings. Assigned to work with the mysterious and alluring Finn, Alice and the rest of the Collectors’ Societyrace against a doomsday clock in order to prevent further destruction . . . but will they make it before all their endings are erased?





Let me introduce you all to MARY..... 

Name: Mary Lennox
Alias: none
Age: 27
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: Dark blonde/light brown
Height: 5’ 7”
Timeline: 1911BUR-SG
Song: Walking on Air by Kerli


Quotes:
·       “Sorry, I’m being bitchy again. And on your first day, too. Normally I hide such thing for at least a week or so before letting this side show.”
·       “Mary Lennox,” Victor says as he pulls her closer, “you’re awful.”
She lifts up on her toes and kisses him. “I try my best.”


Excerpt:
“Sometimes,” she murmurs, “I wonder what things would have been like if I’d ever given into my impulses with Dickon. How it might be so much easier.”
My brain feels tired from all of this already. “Who is Dickon?”
“A guy.” Sadness fills her eyes. “A friend. Or was a friend, anyway.” She picks lint off her tiny black shorts. “My uncle thought he wasn’t suitable.”
“Why not?”
“Money.” Her smile is grim. “It doesn’t matter anyway, does it? He married some local girl, I left and joined the Society. Sometimes love isn’t enough.”
“No, it really isn’t.” And that’s pure honesty if I’ve ever said it.
She stands back up. “Let’s go out. Have some fun.”



About Heather Lyons:
Heather Lyons has always had a thing for words—she’s been writing stories since she was a kid. In addition to writing, she’s also been an archaeologist and a teacher. Heather is a rabid music fan, as evidenced by her (mostly) music-centric blog, and she’s married to an even larger music snob. They’re happily raising three kids who are mini music fiends who love to read and be read to.
