If boot camp doesn't kill him, the temptation of Owen's sinful body surely will. Shane Tucker joins Uncle Sam's Army at nineteen. Tucker is gay, but not ready to be open about his orientation and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" seems like a convenient way to avoid having to dealing with his sexuality. The Army suits Tucker; he does well right from the beginning. Things get harder for Tucker during boot camp when he is assigned a "Battle Buddy". Owen Bradford is a walking, talking wet dream, with no concept of personal space--he especially likes being in Tucker's personal space. Tucker barely survives boot camp living with the constant temptation that is Owen Bradford. Two years later, Tucker--now in the Army Ranger program--is paired up with Owen once again. Getting through training while ignoring the sizzling sexual tension between him and his "Battle Buddy" might be the biggest test of Tucker's military career.

ENTER GIVEAWAY TO WIN! 
You may have heard the story of my time in boot camp and Ranger School in Shane Tucker’s published diary entitled Battle Buddy, but he didn’t get all the details exactly right.
Tuck will argue the point, but I assure you, a few details he definitely got wrong. I don’t blame him or claim that he lied intentionally. At the time he was, if you remember, a little sexually frustrated and it may have skewed his thinking just a wee bit. To this day, I still tease him about it. This is my wild and crazy ride.
“Rangers Lead The Way!” – Owen



Wytchfae by Flossie Benton Rogers  
A faery witch or Wytchfae, Kelly O’Day’s calling is to transition ghosts to their afterlife. She does a bang up job, despite an aversion to her organization’s red tape and regulations. When she falls for sexy Viking ghost Ingvar Hrothson, she breaks the biggest rule of all—the one against personal involvement. Cursed over a thousand years ago to roam the earth as a restless spirit, Ingvar is hell bent on two things—save his sister and destroy the evil sorceress responsible for her death. He needs Kelly to help him go back in time. Hating all forms of dark power, he never dreamed he would be delightfully bewitched by a flesh and blood woman with magical powers. Kelly and Ingvar battle sinister forces and multiple attempts on their lives. With their attraction approaching supernova, the couple must decide whether their romance of a lifetime is also worth fighting for.

Eternity by Tmonique Stephens
Cursed for 2000 years, Roman Nicolis has tracked his lovers’ soul through each reincarnation only to lose her horribly every time. Reclaiming their love is their only salvation. He’s been her friend, her father, her neighbor, but never again her lover . . . until now. A late night walk home throws Stella into the path of a killer. The last thing she remembers are the deep blue eyes of the man trying to kill her—and the first things she sees after a seven day coma are the same blue eyes in the handsome face of the man hired to protect her. Is it fears she feels when Roman touches her or the memory of something sweeter? She will have to push past her fears and reclaim a love that has lasted two millennia.

  16. Favorite birthday celebration? I celebrate the entire month of December, since my son's is the 1st week, and mine the 3rd, and there are always birthday/Christmas parties every weekend. Hmmm...the year I got my roller skates (16th); the year my friends threw me a surprise party (20th)....the year my oldest son was born (26th)....going out with my BFF and dancing the night away (30th)...celebrating with the entire Boy Scout troop (40th)....kicking everyone out of the house so I could wrap presents (44th).

  17. Happy Birthday Paloma! Hope you have the most memorable birthday ever. Thankyou for sharing gifts with us! My most memorable birthday was when the book Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning came out. She had her booksigning on my birthday in Cincinnati, Ohio. We made a girls trip out of it and after the signing we went to a Scottish pub. The sexy kilted bartender brought me a beer float and gave me a nice birthday eyecandy. It was so much fun and the birthday didn't hurt!

  39. First I want to say Happy Birthday Paloma!

    My favorite birthday celebration would have to be at work. All the ladies, gave me such beautiful gifts and flowers. As a child we didn't celebrate birthdays much. However the ladies at work for the last 13 years have gave me so much to make up for the child hood ones.
