"Some dreams aren't impossible, some stars aren't untouchable, and sometimes real life can rival what is only imagined."
"I suppose, in the end, it really comes down to a choice you have to make, yourself: Live in the shadows because it's much easier, or chase the small glimmers of gold, choosing to believe that, if you follow them, they will lead you to oceans of it."
That's what we were doing, chasing the glimmers of gold. We needed something to believe in again, my two best friends and I. After disastrous relationships and a dead-end, grunt labor job, we were burnt out on life and even more burnt out on men. The only thing that made us happy, that we all had in common, was a metal band we adored. So, on a whim, we had decided we would follow them on their tour across the West Coast. We needed some adventure, some fun, a step out of normalcy.
What we got was mayhem. And what I got was a cocky, sexy security guard who was determined to pursue me despite my less than encouraging attitude.
I had expected an adventure. What I'd received was a lesson in life, and a lesson in love. Some untouchable stars are not always out of reach, and sometimes real life can be better than fiction.
Liron's Melody
Art heals, and one woman learns the true power of music.
A Julliard graduate and former member of the Philharmonic Orchestra, Melody hasn’t played anything since her parents were killed in a tragic car accident. But when her friend buys her an old, weathered music score that seems to call to her, she is intrigued.
She knew that playing again would be a freeing feeling, but she never expected the action to open up a gateway to a world where creation and the arts are dominant and emotions are not frowned upon, but embraced. And she definitely never expected to be tossed into the living room of a muse—a man who lives and breathes music, who can calm her with a touch and make her hear symphonies.
As Melody learns of Liron, his world, and his own loss, she begins to heal, feel whole, and find herself again. But when the connection to Melody’s world and the muse world is severed, will the music Liron inspired, as well as the power of her love, be enough to reunite them? More importantly, can Melody find the strength within herself to face the past she has been running from and do what needs to be done for the future she longs to have?
Touch of Black Velvet
There were exactly two things I knew about shifters…
One was that they were to be feared. The other was that they ruled our cities…
In a post-apocalyptic world Reya has nothing to live for but her next fix. That changes when she is left for dead on the street and saved by a mysterious, gorgeous stranger…a shifter. He offers her a strange choice.
Fear and self-preservation have made Reya bold and brash, but how can she refuse a man who speaks of such fantastic things? And how can she resist a man whose touch is like black velvet?

When you read novels regarding shifters, they all begin to be the same. But in Brieanna Robertson's novel, "Touch of Black Velvet," she takes you on a different journey. Her Shifters are the same and yet different. The time period she writes in, post-apocalyptic Earth, holds new ideas. I did not find myself getting bored. Every time I thought I had her story figured out, it changed. I would highly recom

Genre(s): Paranormal Romance, Anthologies, Fantasy
Wings is a collection of 4 different stories, by 4 different authors. Like all good anthologies there is a connecting theme. This one is Angels. Whether dark, fallen or new the tales range from a vampire to an elemental. With, of course, the appropriate amounts of lust thrown in. The editor did a good job choosing these tales for the balance they provided, while I got to enjoy some new authors I might no
Warrior's Rise
Logan Savage is a man's man. His idea of a good time has never included watching over and entertaining a bunch of kids at a summer camp. Especially when that camp happens to be full of kids with a love for mythology and medieval fantasy. In other words-a bunch of geeks. Unfortunately, in order to avoid a jail sentence for assaulting a cop, that's exactly what he has to do. Head counselor and owner of the camp, Willow Avaris, is a nice surprise. Beautiful, fiery and sexy... Too bad she loathes his very existence. Plus, the kids are making his life a living nightmare. Could the summer get any worse?
Amaranth of the Wild Things
For the amaranth flower. Perfect, undying, beautiful. The only soft thing in his hardened world. The only thing he had ever held in reverence, and the only thing to ever offer him solace.
He had never faltered in his assignments. His hand had never wavered. But that was before he'd been ordered to kidnap her. A woman of unique disposition, undaunted in the face of her adversity. A woman bearing the same name as the immortal flower he so cherished.
She could be his greatest downfall...or his greatest treasure.
Dark Masterpiece
Art student Evie Austin has spent the last several years idolizing the famous and elusive painter, Traevyn Whitelaw. After an agonizing final report on the man, who also happens to be the most private and secretive person Evie has ever tried to do research on, her professor picks her for the once in a lifetime opportunity to be Traevyn Whitelaw's apprentice for the summer.
Ecstatic, Evie knows that her summer is going to be amazing, filled with lengthy discussions on art and beautiful things with the man she admires above all others. What she doesn't expect is to get stuck taking her sullen, sarcastic, seventeen-year-old brother with her at the last minute, and she definitely doesn't expect Traevyn Whitelaw to live in an isolated Gothic mansion by the ocean. What's worse is that the man she imagined to be so cultured and refined is no more than a sinister, snarling ogre who acts like having Evie and her brother in his home is the worst intrusion imaginable... He's also the most gorgeous man Evie has ever laid eyes on.
There is more than meets the eye to the dark, brooding artist with the painful past, and spunky, outspoken Evie plans on finding out just exactly what the man is made of...if she can only figure out how.
