Special Release Day Party - a Twofer...oops Threefer!

THE Friday is finally here! The one that has had everybody holding their breath with anticipation as two of our favorite bloggers celebrate the release of their first books!

Christine D'Abo - The Bond That Ties Us
This is what New York Times Best Selling author Julianne MacLean has to say about Christine's book that hits Ellora's Cave today:
“Christine d’Abo’s debut novel sizzles with sexy-hot prose and deelply intriguing characters - a must-read for fans of steamy futuristic romace. The Bond That Ties Us will leave you sighing with satisfaction. Don’t miss this hot new author!”

and Cathryn Fox, Award winning Author says "Solid storytelling, creative plot, and decadent sensuality. The Bond That Ties Us is a highly erotic, fast paced, heart pounding love story that will grip readers from page one and not let go until the very end. With her captivating characters, vivid descriptions and excellent imagination, this new author of erotic romance is going to leave readers salivating for more."

Dang - way to go Christine!

Excerpt: Destiny chose him a mate that he couldn’t accept. She didn't believe in fate, but she cannot deny her growing bond to a man she's only just met. In Haylie Bond's mind, nothing is more thrilling than striking out on her own. Yet things don’t go Haylie’s way. First her body kicks into sexual overdrive sending her into an aroused state that would make a nymphomaniac blush. To make matters worse, the object of her desire is the Briel Ambassador. At almost seven feet tall, with jet black hair and silver eyes, Haylie can’t seem to go five minutes without thinking about him. Kamran, Briel Ambassador to the human colony, Eurus, has waited his whole life to find his mate. When she arrives in the form of a slender human, he’s dumbfounded. Never in the history of his people has there been an instance of a Briel and an off-worlder forming a mating bond. Even with all the signs pointing to Haylie being “the one”, he can’t risk the possibility that he may miss his true Briel mate. It’s too bad his body won’t listen to logic. The sex between them is explosive the first time they are alone. And it only grows from there.

Whew - fanning self. Pop over and throw some confetti on Christine and check out her debut novel!

ANOTHER Book hitting the e-stands today is by our very own Joely Sue Burkhardt!
Joely's debut story Survive My Fire is coming out at the grand opening of the much anticipated Drollerie Press.

Ann of Fractured Fiction (yeah - our Ann) had this to say in her review: "Well built world, enough backstory to make it believable and interesting without any infodumps, great main characters, lots of tension, great sex (and none of it … gratuitous- yeah that’s the word…seriously though, it was actually part of the plot, not just thrown in to raise pulses). I’m not going to tell you who, or what, or where, or when (I wouldn’t want to spoil it for you). I’ll just tell you to go buy the ebook (when it comes out), you know she’s a great writer- you’ve read her snippets (if you haven’t, go here and check them out). And honestly, isn’t that a cool cover?"

AND since Joely was kind enough to send me an ARC of her book last week here's my take...
"Ahem.... (Gawd Joely - do NOT quote this lame ass review) - Joely paints a vivid and lush world in her book with a fascinating mythology all her own where dragons are cursed and a People and a land are dying. The main characters fight against their ownly beastly instincts while trying to find a means to save the last of their tribe and end a curse that has gone on far too long. The heroine struggles against her own bitterness... despair and anger honing her badass edges. (Come on - i had to throw in badass somewhere) Fair warning - dragons do it hotter. No really! Dragon sex - whew boy! Go on - get yourself a copy - everything is 50% off at Drollerie for their grand opening - how can you beat that?"

Excerpt: Trapped as a dragon for centuries by a curse impossible to break, Chanda is consumed by rage. Her heart broken, her life ruined, her entire tribe dead by her own actions, she never expects the warrior outside her lair to know the secret of her curse. Let alone that she will fall in love with him.Jalan survives the White Dragon's teeth and claws. He survives her fire. He even survives her love. But he doesn't come to break her curse or win her heart. Not exactly. His dark god will spare Jalan's tribe--if the White Dragon is sacrificed.While Jalan must choose between the love of his heart and the safety of his tribe, Chanda realizes she may at last break her curse forever.If she's willing to make the greatest sacrifice of all.

Drollerie Press is throwing a bigass party today - so make sure you stop by there to indulge in goodies and make sure to do the Snoopy Happy dance over at Joely's place!

Congrats to both of you - I'm so proud. Wiping a tear from my eye.
