Kriegsfürst Wulf dachte, nichts könnte schlimmer sein, als von den Hive gefoltert und verseucht zu werden. Aber das war, bevor er auf die Erde gebracht worden war, um dort die Kolonie in einem bisher unbekannten Horrorszenario zu repräsentieren: einer Realityshow mit Menschen. Die Bachelor-Bestie ist auf der Erde das heißeste Programm, aber sich auf einem Set mit einem Dutzend anhänglicher Weiber wiederzufinden, entspricht nicht seiner Vorstellung von Spaß. Als seine innere Bestie nicht das geringste Interesse an einer der potenziellen Gefährtinnen der Show zeigt, ist ihm bewusst, dass er eine wählen oder sterben muss, da das Paarungsfieber ihn zu überwältigen droht.


Seine innere Bestie zieht eine Hinrichtung jedoch vor, anstatt irgendein Weib zu nehmen, das nicht für ihn vorherbestimmt ist. Wulf hat sich mit seinem Schicksal abgefunden: man wird ihn nach Atlan bringen und in eine Gefängniszelle sperren, wo er auf seine Hinrichtung warten wird. Es ist das einzig Ehrenhafte, was ihm noch bleibt.


Aber dann liegt plötzlich der Hauch eines lieblichen, weiblichen Dufts in der Luft und seine Bestie giert nach der Frau, die nicht für ihn bestimmt ist.


Aber wie soll man seiner inneren Bestie das vermitteln, wenn sein gesamter Körper sich vor laufender Kamera verwandelt und ein einziges Wort sich seiner Kehle entringt: MEINS.

„DAS FESTIVAL DER LIEBE erschafft eine Welt voll Emotionen und Aufregung. Wir tauchen ein in die Gedanken einer jungen Frau (Keira) und ihre Bemühungen, Karriere und Privatleben unter einen Hut zu bringen. Sophie Love hat eine natürliche Begabung fürs Geschichten erzählen. DAS FESTIVAL DER LIEBE ist sehr gut erzählt und ich kann es nur jedem empfehlen, der sich ein Wochenende lang von einer Romanze verzaubern lassen will.“

--Books and Movie Reviews (Roberto Mattos)

 

EINE LIEBE IM SCHNEE (Die Liebe auf Reisen – Buch #4) ist das 4. Buch der neuen Romantikserie von Bestsellerautorin Sophie Love. Die Serie beginnt mit DAS FESTIVAL DER LIEBE (Buch #1), jetzt als gratis Download!

 

Keira Swanson, 28, hat der Liebe abgeschworen. Nach den Trennungen von Cristiano und Shane ist ihr Herz noch angeschlagen. Daher will sie nicht noch einmal zulassen, dass das Magazin sie für ein weiteres Liebes-Experiment benutzt.

 

Das ist der Redaktion durchaus recht, denn dieses Mal hat man etwas ganz anderes für Keira im Sinn: Sie wollen beweisen, dass jemand, der unter einer Trennung leidet, sich nicht gleich Hals über Kopf in eine Affäre stürzt, um die verlorene Liebe zu vergessen und sich umgehend neu zu verlieben. Um das zu betonen, stellen sie ihr dieses Mal keinen Reisebegleiter an die Seite. Stattdessen soll Keira nach Skandinavien reisen und sich ganz allein dort zurechtfinden.

 

Keira ist von dem neuen Auftrag begeistert. Sie wünscht sich nichts mehr als ihre Ruhe. Eine Reise in den Norden, wo sich ihr Gemüt ein wenig abkühlen kann und sie sich garantiert nicht neu verlieben wird, ist ihr sehr recht.

 

Aber Keira hat weder mit der Schönheit von Kopenhagen und Stockholm (dem Paris des Nordens) gerechnet noch mit der beeindruckenden Gastfreundschaft der Skandinavier.

 

Als Weihnachten vor der Tür steht, muss sie erkennen, dass es schwieriger als erwartet ist, einer neuen Liebe aus dem Weg zu gehen …

 

Eine turbulente und humorvolle Romanze, mit Tiefgang und Witz, das ist EINE LIEBE IM SCHNEE, Band 4 der bezaubernden neuen Serie, die dich zum Lachen und Weinen bringen wird, mit der du dir die Nächte um die Ohren schlägst und die dich mit ihrer Romantik die Liebe neu entdecken lässt.

 

Buch 5 ist in Vorbereitung.

 

„Sophie Loves Fähigkeit, bei ihren Lesern Magie zu bewirken, zeigt sich in ihrem höchst inspirierenden Ausdruck und den lebendigen Beschreibungen … [Dies] ist der perfekte Liebes- oder Strandroman, der sich von anderen abhebt: seine mitreißende Begeisterung und die wunderschönen Beschreibungen machen deutlich, wie komplex die Liebe und auch die Gedanken der Menschen sein können. Dieses Buch ist perfekt geeignet für Leser, die nach einem Liebesroman mit Tiefgang suchen.“

--Midwest Book Review (Diane Donovan über Für jetzt und für immer)

 

Sie sind wie Feuer und Eis ...

Eric Stone weiß, dass er jede Nacht eine andere Frau haben kann. Auch wenn sie von ihm nie mehr erfahren, als das, was sie zu sehen bekommen: einen verdammt attraktiven, dunkelhaarigen und durchtrainierten Mann. Was er jedoch im Moment am meisten liebt, ist die Einsamkeit auf seiner Skihütte in Kitzbühel. Ohne Strom und ohne Ablenkung, dafür jedoch mit jeder Menge Alkohol.
Das ändert sich schlagartig, als ihn die Hilferufe einer Frau gegen Mittag aus dem Bett holen. Eric hat sich geschworen, dass ein weibliches Wesen niemals auch nur einen Fuß in seine Hütte in den Bergen setzen wird. Doch genau damit macht ihn die Fremde fertig: ihrem verknacksten Fuß. Er hat die Wahl, sie vor der Tür erfrieren zu lassen oder sie zu schultern und so lange ihre Gesellschaft zu ertragen, bis sie wieder ins Tal abfahren kann. Eric ist geneigt, Ersteres für seinen Seelenfrieden in Kauf zu nehmen. Doch leider ist sie blond. Und blauäugig. Genau der Typ von Frau, der Gift für sein gebrochenes Herz ist, dem er aber so verdammt schwer widerstehen kann ...

Die Bestsellerreihe von Mira Morton steckt voller Geheimnisse und ist romantisch wie auch amüsant. Der Roman ist in sich abgeschlossen.

(1) Verbloggt. Ein Milliardär auf der Couch – Emma – Wien, Steiermark
(2) Bon Bini. When Love rocks – Riki – Wien, Bonaire (Karibik)
(3) Herzknistern. Blind verliebt im Pulverschnee – emMarlene – Wien, Kitzbühel

ONCE LURED is book #4 in the bestselling Riley Paige mystery series, which begins with the #1 bestseller ONCE GONE (Book #1)—a free download, with over 500 five star reviews!

Women are turning up dead on a lone stretch of highway in Delaware. Some go missing for an inexplicable length of time, while others are turning up dead, their bodies left out for display in bizarre and mysterious ways. When a pattern is discovered, it becomes clear to the FBI that a twisted serial killer is on the hunt—luring girls in devious schemes—and that he won’t stop killing, ever.

The FBI, desperate to crack the case, urges Special Agent Riley Paige to take it on. But the brilliant Riley, still reeling from past cases, has finally found peace in her home life, and is determined to help her daughter April get back on her feet. Yet when the murders become too disturbing, too urgent—and when her former partner Bill implores her—Riley finally realizes she can’t say no.

Riley’s hunt leads her deep into the unsettling world of hitchhikers, of drifters, of women that no one else cares for. When she discovers that several women are being kept alive and that there is still time to save them, she realizes she will stop at nothing, obsessing over the case and driving herself to the brink. Yet Riley realizes her own life is falling apart, and her own fragile psyche can barely handle the strain. In a frantic race against time, she will have to plunge deep into the killer’s mind to save these women—and to save herself—from collapse.

A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, ONCE LURED is book #4 in a riveting new series—with a beloved new character—that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

Book #5 in the Riley Paige series will be available soon. 

“Sophie Love's ability to impart magic to her readers is exquisitely wrought in powerfully evocative phrases and descriptions….This is the perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads.”

Summer has finally returned to Sunset Harbor, and Emily and Daniel have their hands full with the overflowing inn, their gut renovation of Trevor’s house, the building of a new spa, and Chantelle’s reacting to the baby news. They barely have time to settle into life as newlyweds when Emily gets a call from her dad: he wants them all to visit him in England. Surprising herself, Emily agrees.

A life-changing trip to England culminates in shocking news, and Emily finds herself reeling. Daniel withdraws, and as summer comes to a close and her pregnancy develops, she wonders: will she ever be able to settle into this new life?

And will life with Daniel ever be the same again?

With Delos in ruins, Ceres, Thanos and the others set sail for the last corner of freedom in the Empire: the isle of Haylon. There, they hope to regroup with the few freedom fighters left, fortify the island, and make a spectacular defense against the hordes of Felldust.

Ceres soon realizes that if they are to have any hope of defending the isle, she will need more than conventional skills: she will have to break the sorcerer’s spell and regain the power of the Ancient Ones. And yet for this she must journey, alone, take the river of blood to the darkest cave in the realm, a place where neither life nor death exists, where she is more likely to come out dead than alive.

ONCE CRAVED is book #3 in the bestselling Riley Paige mystery series, which begins with ONCE GONE (Book #1)--a free download with over 100 five star reviews!

When prostitutes turn up dead in Phoenix, not much attention is paid. But when a pattern of disturbing murders is discovered, the local police soon realize a serial killer is on a rampage and they are in way over their heads. Given the unique nature of the crimes, the FBI, called in, knows they will need their most brilliant mind to crack the case: Special Agent Riley Paige.

Riley, recovering from her last case and trying to pick up the pieces of her life, is at first reluctant. But when she learns of the grievous nature of the crimes and realizes the killer will soon strike again, she is compelled. She begins her hunt for the elusive killer and her obsessive nature takes her too far—perhaps too far, this time, to pull herself back from the brink.

Riley’s search leads her into the unsettling world of prostitutes, of broken homes, and shattered dreams. She learns that, even amongst these women, there are glimpses of hope, hope being robbed by a violent psychopath. When a teenage girl is abducted, Riley, in a frantic race against time, struggles to probe the depths of the killer’s mind. But what she discovers leads her to a twist that is too shocking for even her to imagine.

A dark psychological thriller with heart-pounding suspense, ONCE CRAVED is book #3 in a riveting new series—with a beloved new character—that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

Und sie ist sein größtes Ziel.

Während der Mörder sie verfolgt, beginnt er außerdem wahllos zu töten und Riley muss ihn stoppen, bevor es zu spät ist - für die anderen Opfer, und für sich selbst.

Verzweifelt bemüht ihn aufzuhalten, weiß Riley, dass es nur einen Weg gibt: sie muss sich in die Vergangenheit begeben, in den verdrehten Verstand des Mörders, seinen alten Fall untersuchen und herausfinden, was ihn antreibt. Der einzige Weg ihn aufzuhalten, ist sich der Dunkelheit zu stellen, von der sie gehofft hatte, sie hätte sie bereits hinter sich gelassen.

A CHARGE OF VALOR is Book #6 in the #1 Bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING, which begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (BOOK #1)--a FREE download on Google Play! 

In A CHARGE OF VALOR (Book #6 in the Sorcerer's Ring), Thor continues on his quest, deeper into the Empire, to retrieve the stolen Destiny Sword and save the Ring. As he and his friends meet unexpected tragedy and lose a member of their close-knit group, Thor and his remaining friends become closer than they ever were, learning that they must face and overcome adversity together. Their journey takes them to new and exotic terrains, including the desolate Salt Fields, the Great Tunnel, and the Mountains of Fire, as they face a host of unexpected monsters at every turn.

Thor’s skills deepen as he undergoes his most advanced training yet, and he will need to draw on powers greater than he has ever used if he is to survive. They finally discover where the Sword has been taken, and they learn that, to retrieve it, they will have to venture to the most dreaded place in the Empire: the Land of the Dragons.

Back in the Ring, Gwendolyn recovers slowly and grapples with deep depression after her attack. Kendrick and the others vow to fight for her honor, despite the impossible odds. There follows one of the great battles in the history of the Ring, as they struggle to free Silesia and conquer Andronicus.

Meanwhile, Godfrey finds himself in disguise behind enemy lines and begins to come into his own, learning what it means to become a warrior, in his own, unique way. Gareth manages to stay alive, using all his cunning to avert capture by Andronicus, while Erec fights for his life to save Savaria from the oncoming invasion by Andronicus—and to save his love, Alistair. Argon pays a precious price for doing the forbidden: meddling in human affairs. And Gwendolyn must decide if she will give up on life, or take up the secluded life of a nun in the ancient Tower of Refuge.

But not before, in a shocking twist, Thor finally learns who his real father is.

Will Thor and the others survive the quest? Will they retrieve the Destiny Sword? Will the Ring survive Andronicus’ invasion? What will become of Gwendolyn, Kendrick and Erec? And who is Thor’s real father?

With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A CHARGE OF VALOR is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders. It is 70,000 words.

Books #7--#17 in the series are also available!

A FATE OF DRAGONS is Book #3 in the Bestselling series the Sorcerer's Ring, which begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (#1), a free download on Play!

A FATE OF DRAGONS takes us deeper into Thor’s epic journey to becoming a warrior, as he journeys across the Sea of Fire to the dragon’s Isle of Mist. An unforgiving place, home to the most elite warriors of the world, Thor’s powers and abilities deepen as he trains. His friendships deepen, too, as they face adversities together, beyond what they could imagine. But as they find themselves up against unimaginable monsters , The Hundred quickly goes from training session to a matter of life or death. Not all will survive.

Along the way, Thor’s dreams, along with his mysterious encounters with Argon, will continue to plague him, to press him to try to learn more about who he is, who his mother is, and what the source of his powers are. What is his destiny?

Back in the Ring, matters are getting much worse. As Kendrick is imprisoned, Gwendolyn finds it landing on her to try to save him, to save the Ring by bringing down her brother Gareth. She hunts for clues for her father’s murderer along with her brother Godfrey, and along the way, the two of them will become much closer, united in their cause. But Gwendolyn finds herself in mortal danger as she presses too deep, and she may be in over her head.

Gareth attempts to wield the Dynasty Sword and learns what it means to be King, becoming drunk with the abuse of power. He rules ruthlessly, becoming paranoid. As the noose tightens on the king’s assassin, the McClouds attack deeper into the Ring, and King’s Court finds itself in an increasingly precarious position.

Gwendolyn pines for Thor’s return, for them to be together, for their love to blossom. But with powerful forces in their way, it is questionable if that chance will ever come.

Will Thor survive The Hundred? Will King’s Court collapse? Will MacGil’s murderer be found? Will Gwendolyn end up with Thor? And will Thor finally learn the secret of his destiny?

A MARCH OF KINGS (BOOK #2 IN THE SORCERER'S RING) takes us one step further on Thor’s epic journey into manhood, as he begins to realize more about who he is, what his powers are, and as he embarks to become a warrior.

After he escapes from the dungeon, Thor is horrified to learn of another assassination attempt on King MacGil. When MacGil dies, the kingdom is set into turmoil. As everyone vies for the throne, King’s Court is more rife than ever with its family dramas, power struggles, ambitions, jealousy, violence and betrayal. An heir must be chosen from among the children, and the ancient Dynasty Sword, the source of all their power, will have a chance to be wielded by someone new. But all this might be upended: the murder weapon is recovered, and the noose tightens on finding the assassin. Simultaneously, the MacGils face a new threat by the McClouds, who are set to attack again from within the Ring.

Thor fights to win back Gwendolyn’s love, but there may not be time: he is told to pack up, to prepare with his brothers in arms for The Hundred, a hundred grueling days of hell that all Legion members must survive. The Legion will have to cross the Canyon, beyond the protection of the Ring, into the Wilds, and set sail across the Tartuvian Sea for the Isle of Mist, said to be patrolled by a dragon, for their initiation into manhood.

Will they make it back? Will the Ring survive in their absence? And will Thor finally learn the secret of his destiny?
