Rise of the Realms Series
Book one: Reborn (audio, ebook, paperback) 


“This isn’t a place for beating hearts. This is death, and death is endless.” 

Five people. Five crossing fates. One person’s actions change their lives forever. 

Making a deal with the Fee has its price. In Katriane Dupont’s case, it comes with scales and an unlimited amount of power. The consequences of her actions unfold with crippling events, shifting the realms. Shades cross the Death Realm, and an angel, determined for answers, clips her wings. 

Can Kat control what’s within her? Or will it consume her?

“It’s nature, to fight to live, even until your very last breath.”




Book two: Disobedient (ebook, paperback, audio coming soon)

Described as “a paranormal lover’s dream come true,” this Epic Fantasy series will keep you on your toes. 

The Fee are exposed and the realms have risen, but trouble lurks around every corner, disobedience the root.

Dyson fights to survive while he dreams of revenge. Grief-ridden, Eliza can’t come to terms with her sadistic, future Fee husband. Katriane’s untimely death is foretold, and Tember isn’t above working with her enemies to save her charge. And Aiden… is he truly gone forever?

A tale of survival in the face of devastation, the five realms, and the dark creatures within, prepare for an uncertain future. A power-struggle is on the horizon.

Interview With D Fischer:

1. Can you tell us a little about your books?
The Rise of the Realms series is a continuation of the Cloven Pack Series. Rise of the Realms is a complex epic fantasy series, filled with a large variety of paranormal creatures, such as elves, angels, sandmen, dwarves, fae, ghosts, orcs, and a few creatures I created on my own. This dark series begins with five characters who do not know each other, but are connected due to the consequences of a witch’s actions, and the reincarnation of the first born dragon.
 
2. What inspires you to write? 
 Writing is my escape. The Realms I’ve built are massive and detailed, and allow for the ultimate escape from reality. It’s therapeutic.

3. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite? 
I’ve published 11 books, but the Rise of the Realms series is held near and dear to my heart.
4.Do you have a special time to write or how is your day structured?
I usually wake at 5am to write before work. That’s the best time for me, because the caffeine is fresh in my system, haha. On weekends, mostly Sunday, I also get a chapter or two in. I could write full time, I’ve even tried it, but I’m a restless person and need a variety of activities to keep me sane.

5. Do you have a favorite food or drink you must have nearby when writing?
Coffee, tea, or coca-cola. I’m a fan of the dark brewed caffeinated beverages.

6. Do you have a favorite spot to write?
Depends on the time of year. I have an office, and it’s easier for me to write there, because my walls are covered in my notes. However, in the summer, I  find myself writing in a lawn chair on the front or back patio.

7. If you had a superpower, what would it be?
To read minds, as long as I can turn it off and on. People have always fascinated me - how their brains work, what makes them tick... people are the ultimate puzzle and I happily accept the challenge. In fact, I studied micro-expressions for six months because of that fact alone. It annoys my husband that he can no longer fib about taking out the trash, hehe. I know many would wish not to hear others thoughts for fear of what others would think about them, but I’m not one of those people. I don’t get offended easily, and I believe this is the super power that could do the most good in helping others.

8. What are writing projects are you currently working on?
Right now, I have a few projects going. Rise of the Realms three in halfway done, Night of Terror three is done, and I’m currently plotting out another shifter series. The fun part is - all of my series connect to one another, so you’ll see many of the same characters popping in throughout each series.

Because the township where his sister lives? Turns out they have a law that every woman must marry five men. And His. Sister. Married. Five. Guys.

Excerpt

“So, um. When will I meet the last one? My last fiancé?”
Henry and Rafe exchanged a glance. Even Jonas had opened his eyes and stood up straighter again.
“Well,” Henry said, drawing out the word, “we were thinking about having dinner tonight all together. Over at the house. The one that will be ours once we are married.”
Shay could feel Charlie’s blood boiling from across the room.
Rafe broke in before he could erupt. “But if that’s too much at once, babe, we can wait. There’s no r—”
Shay just shook her head, though, waving their concerns away. “When does the marriage become official?”
Another significant glance was exchanged.
But Charlie was apparently done holding his opinions to himself. “This is insane. There’s no way we’re letting them force you into any of this—”
“Charlie,” Shay said, loud enough that it stopped his tirade before it really got legs. “I want to hear what they have to say.”
This was going to happen her way or not at all. The sooner she got them all on an equal playing field, the better.
Charlie ground his teeth together, a vein standing out in his neck.
Shay took a deep breath and looked back to Rafe and Henry. “Well?”
Rafe held out a hand for Henry, like this one’s all yours. Henry narrowed his eyes in return, but he spoke up, looking back to Shay. “The wedding usually takes place a few weeks after the lottery. After we’ve all had a chance to get acquainted with each other and feel comfortable enough to share a living space.” Henry held up a hand like he was anticipating resistance. “That doesn’t mean we’re expected to share a bed right away, though.”
“But it is expected eventually,” Charlie growled, turning on Henry.
Henry shrugged reluctantly but Shay spoke over both of them.
“All of that’s ridiculous anyway.”
That got everyone’s attention. They all looked her way. Charlie was smiling, while Henry just looked confused. Shay couldn’t read the expression on Jonas’s coolly appraising face and Rafe simply looked interested.
“Wha—” Henry started to ask but Shay spoke over him, impatient to have this part done with.
“It’s ridiculous to wait that long. We should get married as soon as possible. Tonight even.” The moment the words came out of her mouth, she knew it was exactly what she wanted.
“Shay!” Charlie exploded. “What the hell are you thinking?”
Shay let out a long breath and walked over to him. She took both of his hands and looked up into his worried, green eyes.
“I’m not your sister.”  She felt his flinch, but it had to be said. “I don’t need you to protect me. I knew what would be expected of me before we even left Travisville. And I was fine with it. I still am.”
She was more than fine with it. Looking between the four of them, she felt the quiver start deep in her sex. Wrong as it probably was, she looked forward to fucking these four men. And the fifth who was still a stranger.
You’re my whore. Jason’s words rang in her head. My perfect little fucking whore.
Not tonight. She squared her jaw. Jason wouldn’t be anywhere nearby as she took these men into her body. Tonight she’d belong to herself. And she’d take as much as she gave. More, maybe.
But Charlie just kept stubbornly shaking his head back and forth. He leaned down and whispered fervently in her ear. “We don’t have to stay. I’ve seen Audrey. I know she’s alive. I can get you out, get you somewhere safe, then come back for her and—”
Shay let out an exasperated huff. Why wouldn’t he listen to her? Men never listened. They just assumed they knew best and, because there were more of them, they got to run everything. It was crap.
She spun on Charlie. “So everything you said last night in the Commander’s office—about how a woman should be able to choose. Was that just bullshit?”
“What? Of course not. That’s my whole point. This lottery system gives you no ch—”
“This is what I choose,” she spoke over him. “Sex isn’t a big deal to me. If it is to you, fine, you don’t have to join us—but that’s your problem, not mine. I want you there, but if you can’t handle it, let me know now.”
Charlie’s mouth dropped open. “Shay…”
But she just shook her head. “What’s waiting around for three weeks going to get me? It’ll just drive me crazy. I know what I want and I’m ready.  So we do it tonight.”
She looked over to Jonas. “You’re a preacher, right?”
“Former preacher.” He watched her with a dark, intense look. She couldn’t tell if it was disapproval or attraction.
She waved a hand. “Whatever. Can you still do wedding ceremonies?”
He nodded solemnly.
“Good. Then after dinner, when the last man gets there, I want you to perform the ceremony. Just something small and intimate. Only the six of us.”
One after the other, she looked each of them in the eye. “But we get married tonight.”

She loves writing, reading, listening to podcasts, and has recently taken up biking after a twenty-year sabbatical (and has the bumps and bruises to prove it). She lives with her own personal cheerleader, aka, her handsome husband, and their teenage son. Wow. Typing that makes her feel old.

Basically, she wants to create characters that make readers alternately laugh, cry ugly tears, want to toss their kindles across the room, and then declare they have a new FBB (forever book boyfriend).

Book Blitz for Staying in Vegas by Sam Mariano




Title: Staying in Vegas
Series: Vegas Morellis #1
Author: Sam Mariano
Genre: Mafia Romance
Release Date: April 4, 2018



Blurb

Nothing can prepare you for what happens in Vegas...

When I met Rafe Morelli, he didn’t look like the biggest mistake I’d ever make; he seemed closer to the crime family version of Prince Charming. Charismatic, beautiful, and attentive—with an intoxicating air of power—Rafe was the stuff of my darkest fantasies.

What we had should have been a simple fling, no-strings-attached. My hot weekend with the sexy, dominant Vegas boss—a harmless memory to replay once I returned to my quiet, predictable life.

One tiny hitch in that plan: a panty-melting memory isn’t all he left behind. Now the stakes have changed, and I’m faced with a potentially life-altering decision. Do I stay away and enjoy my status as the only woman in known history who has played in the Morelli flames without getting burned, or do I risk everything and step back into the fire?

Release Blitz for Prey by Cari Silverwood




Title: Prey
A Dark Monster Fantasy Novel
Author: Cari Silverwood
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
Release Date: May 31, 2018



Blurb

When Mila discovers her sister will be the next victim on Sacrifice Day, her normal reply would be, sorry, I'm busy.

After viewing ancient data and seeing the massive size of stoneshifters, Mila decides to rescue Tiana. Her sister is blood and she'd rather not see her tied to the sacrifice table and turned into jam.

Everything goes wrong, of course.

Lord Zarblu, stoneshifter and owner of the enormous black fortress looming over the city, turns his gaze upon Mila.

Like a giant cat with a teensy mouse, Zarblu plays with Mila. Catch...release...catch. Gentle and caring are words that no stone-beast monster should claim, surely?

Desiring something that might kill you is insane yet the sacrifice table begins to look attractive. Zarblu is a big, strong, determined male who's had a thousand, thousand years to contemplate life.

What if he isn't quite the monster she thought he was...
What if he wants her to be his sacrifice?

Warning: This is a very graphic and carnal story for those who love the fantasy of being caught by a monster.

This is not the normal level of dark that Cari Silverwood writes. This is the dark you reach for when you're all darked out and one step from seeing your therapist. Some of this story is FUN. Dark dubcon fun, but fun nevertheless.

Brynne’s optimism and unfailing faith in love is a breath of fresh air, and it makes him think maybe he’s had it wrong all along.

They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. And Carter’s heart? It might be taking up permanent residence there.




Review by Gia
His Mimosa is a quick great read.   Jamie Schlosser is one of my one click author so I didn't pay much attention to what this one was about before reading it.   I didn't realize until the end of the book that His Mimosa is part of the The Cocktail Girl series, which is written by 14 different authors.  I definitely plan on checking the rest of the series out. 
 Carter doesn't believe in love..  His parents had a messy divorced that makes him not believe in happy ever after.   He's in Vegas for his brother’s bachelor party and at times he's not the best companion.  Carter ends up meeting Brynne during hangover hour.  She brings him free Mimosa.  I loved Brynne.  She sweet and nice and full of hope.   Although they are a little different in their view on life, they hit it off.  You can't help but root of these two.  
5 Amazeballs Stars!
