#TuesdayTeaser - Shift Happens by Christy Gissendaner


Shift Happens (I Heart Shifters, Book 1)
Christy Gissendaner

Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal Romance

Publisher: Etopia Press



BLURB
Ellie Reynolds runs a nail salon that caters to shifters of all varieties. The proverbial shift hits the fan when billionaire mogul Jackson Lawrence walks in the door and offers Ellie two million dollars to sell her shop. Ellie has no intention of selling out, especially to someone who plans to bulldoze her shop to the ground and replace it with a fast food joint. Their battle of wit and will is brought to a sudden halt when Jackson’s enemies appear, throwing them into a fight for their lives.

Jackson believed he'd left violence behind when he resigned his position with the Blood Wolves, a secret shifter military group, but someone wants his company's cyber invention and will stop at nothing to get it. He didn't mean to drag Ellie into his mess, but he’s willing to do anything to protect her and the firewall his friend
created...anything except fight his attraction to the outspoken redhead he's suddenly responsible for. Jackson soon learns Ellie is hotter than he first gave her credit for...like dragon hot...and life is about to get a whole lot more interesting.

 Sometimes shift happens when you least expect it.


EXCERPT
Rain kept up a staccato rhythm on the tin roof, and her supersensitive hearing picked out every drop. She’d never be able to sleep like this, not while her mind was racked by thoughts of Jackson. The situation was laughable. She should be more worried about her safety and instead all she could think about was the fine-looking man in the room across the hall, like the perfect dimples in his cheeks when he smiled really big, or the perfect symmetry of his gorgeous face. And that ass. She could bounce a quarter off that ass.
She groaned as the familiar heat filled the place between her thighs. She needed something to take her mind off Jackson.
Milk. That’s what she needed. A nice, cool glass of milk.
Well, what she really needed was her vibrator, but it was at home, tucked safely away in her drawer under a bundle of handmade scarves that she’d bought and never worn.
Ellie slid out of bed and tugged the hem of the too-short nightgown. She’d picked out a size eight when she was more like a twelve, so Jackson wouldn’t know her true clothing dimensions. When he’d gone to pay for the items she’d chosen, he’d merely lifted an eyebrow but wisely chosen not to say anything.
 Could she help it if she’d been born with a fondness for sweets? Blame Nana’s genes, not her own lack of will.
Speaking of sweets, cookies would be nice too. She wondered if Jackson had any in the cabinets. He seemed to keep the Montevallo home stocked with foodstuffs since they hadn’t had to stop for groceries.
A few minutes later, with chocolate chip cookies clutched in both hands and a mug of milk hooked around her thumbs, she crept back down the hall toward her room. She bent her head to take a bite of a cookie and lost her grip on the drink. She cursed when the mug fell out of her hands. The milk spilled across her toes and the ceramic shattered when it hit the wooden planks.
“Ellie!” Jackson jerked his bedroom door open and appeared in the doorway, disheveled and entirely too yummy. He wore nothing but boxers and oh geez, he had a six-pack. A perfectly lickable six-pack that made her mouth and sex water. She hoped she wouldn’t drool, although it was a distinct possibility.
“I’m sorry for waking you.”
Jackson ran a hand over his shorn hair. “Fuck. I thought they’d found us.”
“Nope, just the cookie monster.” She held up the cookies in her hands and grimaced. How embarrassing. “Want one?”
He came forward until their toes touched. Hers, milky and chilled. His, warm and dry. She wanted to feel her feet wrapped around his beneath the covers. She wanted to feel everything of his beneath the covers, actually.
His thumb brushed the corner of her lips. “Chocolate,” he explained right before he licked his finger.
Damn her knees. Useless joints that they were. “Umm.”
And damn her larynx for not working properly.
His gaze dropped and she suddenly realized she was in the too-short, too-tight nightgown. Her boobs stretched the cotton material and she didn’t need to
 look down to know she was nipping. If she turned around, he could probably tell she wasn’t wearing panties. She’d never been so self-conscious before, but never had she been in the presence of a hot-ass canine shifter who was practically naked.
Jackson’s expression turned predatory. His cheeks seemed to hollow out, becoming more pronounced, and his nostrils flared as if he’d caught a whiff of something. Perhaps it was her. The quick shower she’d taken had been hours before. Then again, no panties. Perhaps he smelled her scent. She clamped her thighs tight together and prayed he didn’t laugh. The situation was embarrassing enough without suffering unrequited lust.
“Ellie.” He spoke her name again, but it was low-pitched and soft.
Oh God. She wanted to eat the cookies in his bed. But later. Much, much later. “Yeah?”
“I owe you something.” He slid a hand around her waist and cupped the upper swell of her butt. His fingers spread out in a proprietary manner, as if he was sure of his welcome. “I wanted to wait until all this shit was over, but you’re killing me. I can’t hold out any longer.”
Neither could she. She went up on tiptoe and puckered her lips. He stared at her as he traced the seam of her lips with his index fingers. “I think you misunderstand the type of kiss I want from you.”

The Black Hills Wolves


It is always truly amazing what realy goes on at author converences.
The Black Hills Wolves line  is new from Decadent Publishing. 
The concept came about during an author conference in San Antonio 
and birthed from the mind of paranormal romance author Rebecca Royce.  

If you are a fan of shifter tales, I guarantee you'll like this line
packed full of romance, intrigue, a dash of mystery and super hot heroes.

Grab a copy of Wolf's Return and you'll be howling for more.

The first of many....



WOLF'S RETURN

A hidden wolf pack. Lies. Intrigue. And reluctant heroes. Get to know the Black Hills…

Drew Tao left the Black Hills in disgrace, banished by his father. He has spent the last ten years a lone wolf, living on his own. Called back home, he finally gets the chance to set things right. If such a thing is possible….

Betty Holden has hated her mate every day for the last ten years for abandoning her and their pack. She’s been running things in Los Lobos, and she has no intention of letting Drew Tao slip back into her life like nothing has changed—even if she has never been able to resist him .

Can there be forgiveness? And can he protect her when another enemy arrives?

Furry Friday - Favorite Wolf Shifter Tales

In celebration of Shifter Month I’d like to welcome you to Furry Friday!

AAARRROOOOO!

I’d like to share some of my favorite Wolf Shifter stories.

First of all, I’d like to give a shout out to Kresley Cole and her Immortals After Dark Series.
A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark, Book 1)  A tale of a fierce werewolf and a bewitching vampire -- unlikely soul mates whose passion will test the boundaries of life and death. 


Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night (Immortals After Dark, Book 3) A dark cold hearted a werewolf thinks he lost his only mate but finds a sensual witch who pushes all his buttons.

Pleasure of a Dark Prince (Immortals After Dark, Book 7)  A fierce werewolf prince who will stop at nothing to protect the lovely archer he covets from afar. 

I haven’t read the beauty and the beast story, MacRieve (Immortals After Dark), but it is on my TBR pile.

 ******

Of course I’m a Sherrilyn Kenyon fan and love Vane Kattalakis so I pick Night Play (Dark-Hunter, Book 6). A sexy wolf has to convince a human to trust him with her life while his enemies are out to end his.

Better include Fang Kattalakis in this list with his story Bad Moon Rising.  Fang and Aimee are the inter-species Romeo and Juliet of the Dark Hunter world! 

 ********

Larissa Ione never creates simple characters. Check out Sin Undone (Demonica, Book 5) where the hero is half werewolf and half vampire who falls for a master assassin demon.

 I'm sure I'm missing some, 
but my book shelves are pretty full so I'll feature more in another post. 

What are some of your favorite Wolf Shifter Tales?
