VBT: BOOK SPOTLIGHT/REVIEW & GIVEAWAY - BLOOD STRUCK BY. MICHELLE FOX


BLOOD STRUCK
BY
MICHELLE FOX





Title : Blood Struck
Author: Michelle Fox
Genre :  Paranormal Romance
Release Date : 6/24/13

Blurb/Synopsis

In a world where vampires are real, blood is a financial asset and sex mixed with blood commands the highest price...

Myra Danson is in desperate need of cash and when she has the opportunity to join the shadow world of blood courtesans, she jumps before she looks. Soon she’s sharing a bed with the handsome Kristos Anastos, but then bullets start to fly and she finds herself running for her life.

At first, Kristos assures her the attack stems from his enemies hoping to destroy him, but it quickly becomes clear that Myra is the real target. Worse, she’s falling in love with Kristos, but is the sexy vampire friend or foe?

Blood is money and Myra’s may be worth the most of all. A past she never knew existed has come to claim her and she’ll be lucky if she only ends up dead.

REVIEW:

I thought Blood Struck was a compelling read. I thought the premise of this story was refreshing and unique.

Myra is a college student caught between a Rock & a hard place. Her mother is sick with cancer, and Myra is unable to pay for her treatment. Desperate to make money to help her mother, Myra takes a job as a Blood Courtesan to Vampires.

Myra is a strong heroine, she will do whatever is necessary to help her mother, and keep her alive. Enter Kristos who is Myra's first client. He is a hot alpha male vampire. Kristos is sent to Myra as her first, his job is to break her into her new role. Kristos is all kinds of sexiness, and perfect for Myra.

Throw in a whole lot of action, a few secrets, and you have a great story that's hard to put down.

I really liked Blood Struck. The author did a great job with the world building, and the feel of the story. The characters, and situations were believable. The plot flowed, and kept you on the edge of your seat.

The sexual scenes were sexy, hot, and followed the plot. The action kept me turning the pages.

This is my first book by Michelle Fox, but I can guarantee you it won't be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed myself reading Blood Struck.

VBT: SPOTLIGHT & GIVEAWAY- Vegas Knights by. Marina Maddix

VEGAS KNIGHTS
Marina Maddix



BLURB:

After a passionate public encounter with a mysterious and very sexy biker, big girl Kelly Saunders finds herself on the ride of her life. Her 'Knight on shining armor' -- Rick Knight, billionaire heir to a motorcycle legacy -- whisks her away from her soul-sucking corporate job to Las Vegas, where she finds the road to love is treacherous.

As urgent business matters demand more and more of Rick's attention, Kelly is left to wonder about the future of their relationship. A ruthless betrayal throws her life into turmoil, and a devastating discovery threatens to pull them apart. Is their love just so much Vegas glitter or is it strong enough to survive beyond the dazzling lights of Sin City?






EXCERPT:
They sat entwined under the stars, swaying slightly with the rhythm of their own bodies. Rick's hands moved slowly from her hair down her back. Shivers of anticipation rippled through Kelly. They were going to make love under the stars. It had always been a fantasy of hers but she'd never imagined it would come true. But a lot of things she'd never imagined were happening lately.
Feeling the need to show him she wasn't some precious flower that needed tending and special care, that she was an independent woman, Kelly took control. His eyes never left her body as she moved to stand over him, legs spread, hands on her hips.
"Strip." The single word brought a knowing smirk to Rick's face. Without a word, and still never taking his eyes from her, he eased his off his jacket, throwing it aside. His gaze was positively smoldering as he loosened his tie and started to pull it over his head.
"Leave it." Kelly commanded on impulse. His hands paused, then dropped to the front of his charcoal Armani button-down, his eyes burning into her flesh like a brand. His fingers worked slowly, deliberately, intensifying her need for him. But she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing her impatience. Cocking her hip, she let him tease her with his leisurely pace.
When the shirt was lying atop the leather jacket, he looked up expectantly, awaiting her next instruction. When she nodded toward his pants, triumph flashed across his face. She realized her mistake as he moved to stand. Once on his feet, he would tower over her, emphasizing her vulnerability and his dominance.
"On second thought, scratch that." One of his eyebrows shot up, and a look of exasperation took the place of triumph. She knew the score and she wasn't going to give him an advantage if she could help it. He leaned back on his elbows -- shirtless and irresistible -- and studied her.
She couldn't afford to make a misstep or show any hesitation. This had become less of a game for her and more of a demand for equality in this relationship. He may be rich, but that didn't mean he was in control here. Either he accepted that they were in this together, as equal partners, or he would be taught that lesson. Of course, she suspected that would be a lesson he might enjoy learning.
