NOTE: This is a sweet, semi-clean romance. Although all Veronica Blade books do contain some mild cursing, the Rock Star Kisses series has slightly more than others.Sebastian's unexpected desire to devour Violet's mouth baffles him-he barely knows her and he prefers his women a little more agreeable. Besides, he has more important things to focus on, like rebuilding his scorched reputation after years in a drunken haze. Since she's a miracle worker at public relations, he's stuck with her and her bad attitude. If only he could purge the freakishly realistic x-rated visuals of Violet popping into his head, he might actually accomplish his goal and be allowed back into the band. But she isn't making anything easy. When Violet's father, Full Throttle's band manager, asks her to salvage Sebastian's public image, she can't turn down the chance to make a name for herself. But spending so much time with Sebastian is brutal. While drinking is out of character for her, she's even more embarrassed that she lost control one night and tumbled into bed with him. To her complete the humiliation, he acts like their night of debauchery never happened. How will she endure the next few weeks working with someone she's secretly infatuated with but who barely knows she's alive?EXCERPT: His smile widened and he used his thumb to brush a stray hair off my cheek. "You're ridiculous, you know that? It's kind of cute how you pretend you're not mysteriously drawn to me."I licked my lips. He was right. It didn't necessarily follow that he needed to know how right he was. For one thing, that would be humiliating. Second, if he returned even half the lust for me, we were in big, big trouble. I could still speak the truth without confirming his assumption. "Sebastian, I swear on my mother's grave that I absolutely do not like you."He pressed his lips together and brought his other leg forward, bringing his body flush against mine. "I don't like you either. So what are we going to do about it?"I flattened my palms against his stomach, but my brain somehow misfired and instead of pushing him away, my fingers splayed over his muscles. The pressure of his fingertips at my hips compelled me closer and I held my breath. No way would he kiss me. I mean, I was crabby, pregnant and hormonal. Plus, he'd outright admitted to not liking me. Not that I could blame him. Right now, any woman in a ten-mile radius had to be more attractive than me. So what was he up to? I lifted my chin to meet his smoldering gaze, but my eyes drifted to his lips. He inched closer and I squirmed until I was up against the counter facing him. His hands skipped upward to press against my waist, then spread out as if they couldn't bear not to cover every inch of me. I hadn't been touched like that by a man since... well, since my drunken hook-up with Sebastian two months before. I melted against him, hooking the finger of one hand through his belt loop and the other sliding up his chest to wrap around his neck. Keeping his gaze trained on me, he levered his hips against mine so slowly I could feel everything from his hip to the zipper on his pants. My mouth parted and his mouth crashed down on mine. I devoured the kiss with a hunger that consumed me. This was nothing like the kisses I'd had with him before. This was loneliness and need, betrayal and fear, all rolled up with a healthy dose of lust and hate. I stretched up on my tiptoes and my arms overlapped around his neck, squeezing him closer. Our tongues tangled and the craving for more burned through my soul.He pulled back just enough to whisper against my lips. "I was right. You're like liquid fire.

Good chance she was shopping for supplies. I'd rarely seen her not working since I'd arrived in Bride."You'll ruin your appetite for dinner."Bailey jolted, dropping a leg of chicken and spinning on the stool. "You scared me. Too hungry to wait another hour.""Same here." I intercepted the chicken leg as she raised it toward her lips and then I sunk my teeth into it.Bailey's eye twitched. "Nice manners. I was eating that." She reached for the plate of chicken and chose a wing. I snagged that too, wrestling it from her hand. She slipped off the stool and threw a punch at my bicep. She used to always playfully beat on me."You want it?" I smashed the chicken leg on her face, smearing chicken fat around her mouth and coercing her lips apart.She belly-laughed, throwing punches faster than I could dodge them. "Such a jerk." Jerk, yes. But she was laughing again. With me. I reached for a fresh drumstick and jammed that at her face too, swiping it across her cheek.She crammed a wing into my nose, mainlining the spices and grease directly into my nostril. Her eyes lit with a familiar mischief before she squished the chicken into my hair. This was war. And, what the hell, I needed a shower anyway.I shoved her against the counter, about to stuff the chicken leg down the front of her shirt and froze, my gaze locking onto the creamy swells at her neckline. Her chest rose and fell with each pant and my gaze met hers. She licked her lips, then focused on my mouth.Not one to let a perfect opportunity pass, I seized the moment and leaned in.Grab this sweet romance set in the heart of Bride, Texas and fall for the town and its residents with every page.

WHAT BOOK REVIEWERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BLIND DATE, CHECKMATE: cafeofdreamsbookreviews.com says, "Blind Date, Checkmate is a lovely and fun story to sink into." whatsyourstorybookreviews.com says, "If you're looking for a sweet romance with just enough sizzle to leave you breathless, then Blind Date, Checkmate is your book!" "There is something about a man who is famous and wants just a regular ol girl that I like to read about. The chemistry between these two leaps out at you and you really enjoy reading about Shelby resisting the urge to plunge into love." - Beck's Book Picks about Blind Date/Checkmate BLIND DATE, CHECKMATE Should a woman who's unable to forget her first love give "happily ever after" one more try? Shelby Winters' one great love went sour. If she can't feel that way about a guy again, why bother? When Shelby's best friend sets her up on a blind date with Logan, the guy who broke her heart, he pursues her relentlessly, forcing her to make a choice: give her heart what it's always desired and risk total devastation or shut Logan out and lose her only shot at happiness. To Shelby, it's a lose-lose situation. Or is it? EXCERPT"I never stopped loving you," he said as we both got to the door. Liar. I whirled around and glared. "I was seventeen and it's been nine years. We've both grown up. I'm not the same stupid kid and I won't be so gullible this time." Why did he keep drawing me into these conversations? "So far, Logan, you're all talk and no action. The story of your life. No follow-through." I tried to get past him but he blocked the door. I backed up when I noticed his eyes ablaze, thinking maybe I'd pushed him too far. As if I were his prey, he caged me against the wall with his arms. I pressed my back into cold plaster so I wouldn't feel his thighs brushing mine. He only moved closer, a breath away, the friction of our bodies sending an inferno through me. Oh, yes, that had definitely been missing in my life. "You want me to follow through, I'm ready right now," he growled softly. Me too. But Logan was the last guy I'd go there with. Although it wouldn't exactly be a hardship re-enacting certain moments with someone that gorgeous, deep down I was still bruised by his past rejection. But I couldn't deny I was tempted. I'd never had a relationship that lasted. If I was doomed to a life of loneliness, it almost seemed justifiable to take happiness where I could find it, even if only temporarily. Logan inched toward me, his lips at my temple. My pulse spiked as he sucked my earlobe between his lips and I shuddered. "I knew you still loved me," he whispered in my ear. His words slapped me back to reality. A temporary fling with him would only bring me a lifetime of more pain. No. Way. "Oh, honey, you're confusing love with lust." I patted his cheek a little harder than necessary and pushed on his chest. "A guy like you should know better. Let's go eat. I'm hungry." I sailed past him knowing I'd thrown him a nice curve. I'd just taken his bishop. Score one point for me. WHAT BOOK REVIEWERS ARE SAYING ABOUT VERONICA BLADE'S OTHER WORK: whatsyourstorybookreviews.com: "This book is delicious!" actingbalanced.com: "This book takes Twilight and others like it to the next level!" madmoosemama.blogspot.com: "The dialogue and emotions are real and raw, there are some expletives and sexual fantasy scenes but I felt they worked with the characters and gave them more of an edge to their creation. Oftentimes the author used comedic wit to the scenes giving it an even more humanistic appeal to the characters." mindingspot.blogspot.com "From teen to adult, I can't imagine anyone not absolutely adoring this book."

A Cinderella who spends her nights as a wolf. A prince with a taste for blood. Seventeen year old Cydney struggles against her werewolf nature, trying to keep everyone around her safe. No way will she risk exposing the beast at the prince's ball, no matter how her two cousins try to persuade her. As she attempts to carve out some semblance of a life, Cydney can't forget the boy she loved three summers ago - or what she did to him after losing control. Turned into a vampire to save his life, the prince refuses to live up to his royal duties. He just wants to find the girl he loved and lost...the werewolf girl who bit him. But his father, the king, commands him to attend a ball where he must choose a wife. Can he find his Cinderella before he's forced to marry another? He doesn't even have her real name, much less a glass slipper. EXCERPTIf I'd known it could be like this and that she'd wanted it too, I would've kissed her ages ago. I mentally kicked myself for wasting all those weeks when we could've been doing this the entire time. Her hand crept up under my shirt and her fingers trailed along my back. Goosebumps danced on my skin. She pressed closer against me and I took the kiss deeper, letting loose my weeks of pent up craving for her. I didn't think life could get any more perfect than being with Cindy. And I no longer yearned for a normal life. I wanted things to stay exactly as they were at that moment. With my Cinderella. Forever. A soft moan erupted from my throat when she angled her face to take the kiss still deeper. I slid my arms around her waist and the tips of my fingers inched up underneath her tank top. She shivered. But it wasn't a usual shiver. Her whole body began to tremble and I nearly lost my hold on her. I pulled back. Cindy's eyes grew huge and her pupils dilated. She threw her head back, her limbs vibrating as she growled. No, not a growl. It was more like a dull roar, full of pain and anguish. Was she... was my Cindy about to turn into a werewolf? Or was it something else? Maybe if I held her again, whatever was happening to her might stop. I lunged for her. "Get away from me!" Sobbing, she shoved me back, but in the process, one of her claws raked across my chest. I flinched, as blood beaded on my skin. A little scratch wasn't going to stop me though. Not when Cindy needed my help. I stepped forward again. Her lips curled up, exposing long, growing teeth and she shrieked. Yeah, she'd hit werewolf maturity all right. But she hadn't completely morphed. Just her teeth and nails. Maybe if I calmed her, she could prevent it from progressing. I wrapped my arms around her waist, as I'd done just moments ago, and pulled her close. She shrieked again, then searing pain shot through my arm. Werewolf bite. Oh, crap. My dad was going to kill me... unless the werewolf virus beat him to it. The forest spun around me and I couldn't keep my eyelids up. My muscles went lax and when the ground rose to slam against me, I didn't feel a thing.

But the thrill of being a witch fades when she learns of a rival coven and begins to suspect her own coven's motives. Evidence tells Tessa to trust one side, but instinct drives her toward the other. When the school's scrumptious delinquent, Hayden Anders, offers Tessa self-defense lessons in exchange for tutoring, his timing couldn't be better. Although hanging out with him is a necessary evil in Tessa's fight to stay alive, resisting a bad-boy she secretly yearns for might be more than she can manage. Together, Tessa and Hayden work to unravel the mysteries behind the two covens to discover why they'll stop at nothing to lure Tessa to their side. She must form an alliance with one of the covens before it's too late. But the wrong decision could cost Tessa the lives of all who she holds dear - including Hayden. MORE RAVE REVIEWS booknookclub.blogspot.com: "What I loved about this book was that it dove straight into my emotions. When she and Hayden had a steamy scene, I felt it too. When she was getting into trouble, I was biting my nails. When she discovered truths, I gasped and even cried. It was a great emotional roller coaster..." hippiesbeautyandbooksohmy.com: "The author creates a ton of tension and suspense even though as the reader, we know what each character is thinking and feeling.

I thoroughly enjoyed each and every aspect of this book. Veronica Blade has an incredible talent for story telling and bringing characters to life vividly, to really allow the reader to invest themselves within both Tessa and Hayden, as well as the secondary characters." adiaryofabookaddict.blogspot.com: "This is a must read for all lovers of Paranormal books! Veronica Blade you have out done yourself!" lisaisabookworm.blogspot.com: "Veronica Blade has an easy style that swiftly carries the reader from start to finish and lovers of romance will greatly appreciate the will-they-won't-they tension between her two main characters." wovenstrands.wordpress.com: "With her breezy irreverence, remarkable self-assurance, and beguiling innocence, Tessa's voice is the one I enjoyed the most. Personally, I would have liked the entire tale to have been told from her perspective exclusively. However, Hayden's voice grew on me after a bit, and I soon relished seeing situations through his eyes, as well."

NOTE: As with all Veronica Blade books, this is a sweet, semi-clean romance. An infamous bad-boy rocker falls for a small-town girl who has no idea who he is. Considering his reputation, that's probably a good thing. After his latest escapade splashes across the tabloids, Grammy-winning bad-boy Liam Blackwell questions his own choices. He alters his appearance, hits the road and drives until hunger forces him to stop at The Wagon Wheel. Mesmerized by the pretty bartender, he lingers and, with each passing moment, staying becomes easier to imagine. But he doesn't do relationships and Emma isn't a one-night kind of girl. And when this small-town girl learns all about his big city life, wouldn't she dump him anyway? When a stranger walks into The Wagon Wheel wearing leather and a sexy grin, Emma Taylor is instantly drawn to him. But raising a child alone is hard enough at twenty-one without adding his kind of trouble into the mix. Though Emma sees more in Liam beyond the bruised knuckles and tattoos, she can't risk temptation again or allow herself to hope for love, because when he inevitably blows out of town, he'll just be another guy who broke her heart. EXCERPT As Liam slid his palm around the nape of my neck and slowly inched toward me, I knew I should push him away. Kissing him was a bad idea. But since seconds ago when he'd admitted to wanting me, all I could think about was feeling him against me. Maybe I needed to get the kiss out of the way so my brain would start working properly again. He paused with his mouth hovering over mine, as if asking for my blessing. Oh, to hell with it. I dropped my purse on the seat, raised my chin, and slipped my fingers though the belt loops of his jeans. He moved in closer, and I inhaled sharply before his lips brushed my own. He moved his mouth over mine, lingering, teasing, then grazed my bottom lip with his teeth just before he withdrew. Shivers danced over my arms, and my stomach dipped. I barely caught my breath before his mouth came crashing down on mine again. I opened for him, and our tongues tangled, causing tingles to spread out from my belly. He took the kiss deeper. As dizziness swept through me, a small moan escaped my lips, and I gripped his arms to keep my balance. Abruptly, Liam muttered a soft curse, stepped away, and ran his hands over his head. "I promised myself I wouldn't molest you. What the hell is wrong with me?" He dropped his arms and stepped back. Nothing was wrong with him. Absolutely nothing.

See the book trailer: http: //youtu.be/GEXgVD1NblU EXCERPT The smell of unwashed wolf closed in on me, fur tickling my skin and fetid breath in my face. I trembled, hot tears burning my eyes. The wolf snarled and I scrambled back as he leapt toward me. "Autumn. Autumn, wake up." Zack pulled me off the pillow by my shoulders. I lifted my head and rubbed my eyes, trying to wipe away the mental fuzz. But I was aware enough to notice my comforter wasn't anywhere near us, certainly not separating me from him. I must have kicked it off during my nightmare. "Are you okay?" Zack was sitting directly in front of me, his thighs straddling mine, heat from his bare skin radiating through me. I nodded. He exhaled in relief and leaned back to sit on his heels. "Heard you scream and I ran up here. Been calling your name over and over, but you wouldn't wake up. Scared me for a minute there." I'd been having that same dream where I was being chased. "I was running from wolves." He brushed a finger down my cheek. "It was just a dream." "More like a nightmare," I whispered, my gaze locking onto his. He wore nothing but a pair of boxers. As my ragged breath slowed, I realized the only other thing between us was my threadbare tank top and skimpy panties. "Autumn." His breathing quickened and he growled so low it sounded like a purr. Then he tilted my face to meet his and drew closer until I felt his breath on my skin. "You're too beautiful."

Too bad Dallas isn't used to girls saying no. What will happen when he discovers Maddie's deception?EXCERPT OF FROM FAME TO SHAME"And what are your plans later tonight?" Dallas reached up to rub a lock of my hair between his thumb and finger."Plans?" My mouth went dry. He stood way too close and my concentration slipped."You always have plans." His eyes caressed my face."Not tonight." Somewhere deep in my soul, I knew that was the wrong answer. It opened the door to a date with him, which would lead straight to trouble. But when your brain stops working, telling the truth is so much easier."A friend told me that Josh Adams is jamming at Hanks Blues tonight. It's supposed to be a surprise. Should be fun."I nodded, since it was all I was capable of at the moment."We'll have dinner there. I'll pick you up at six."Preventing Dallas from making another date with me would've been smart. The words hovered in my throat, but I couldn't force them out. Even if I didn't reject his offer, I needed to say something. Or, at the very least, finish cleaning up after breakfast. And yet, I couldn't move. I just stared into his eyes as they fixed on mine.His gaze fell to my mouth, then he reached both hands up to cup my face and, inch by inch, brought his mouth to mine. Our lips touched, feather-light. He shifted his body and brought his thighs against mine, but he didn't deepen the kiss. He just skimmed the surface, gently teasing my mouth until my nerve endings hummed. Seconds stretched and my lungs stilled as I ached for more. Then, slowly, he withdrew, keeping close enough that I still felt his warm breath against my skin.I couldn't catch my breath. A thick haze clouded my brain and I worried he might ask me something, anything, that required a response and I'd slip up. Fear that I'd blow it for Jackie paralyzed me. Oh, my God! Jackie! If she knew I'd just kissed the guy who dumped her, she'd be hurt and feel betrayed. Jackie didn't need that, on top of everything else."I..." I had no idea what to say. I only knew that if someone didn't say something soon and break the trance, I would betray Jackie worse than I already had. Because, more than anything, I wanted this guy, no matter how nice he was.
