Author: Cambria Hebert
Cover Designer: Mae I Design
Release Date: October 14, 2013
Series: Take It Off series - Note: the Take It Off series is a series of stand alones. Each book is its own story.

Stranded and alone with not one, but two wickedly enticing men.

Ava arrives at the airport, expecting to board a commercial flight to Puerto Rico. But a plane ticket isn’t waiting for her. Instead, she finds a guy with dark curly hair wearing seriously ratty jeans and holding a sign with her name on it.

He may not look like a pilot, but he is. And he’s her ride.

So now it’s just Nash and her on a tiny tin can of a plane flying over the Atlantic. When a thunderstorm comes out of nowhere, it proves to be too much for the little aircraft.

Ava and Nash plunge from the sky and end up on an uncharted deserted island.

Stranded.

As if that isn’t bad enough, Ava starts to desire more than just rescue—hunger for more than food. Nash is only too happy to oblige… but it seems they might not be as alone as they thought.

And Nash might have some competition in claiming Ava’s body… and her heart.

I haven't done a Showcase Sunday post for a long time now and it's mainly because I didn't buy any new books lately, but after all these weeks I have gotten quite a few freebies that I thought I should share with everyone.

Why I Decided to Give my Books Away for Free

by author Sherry Soule

September is such a lovely month. It is part Indian summer and heralds the coming of fall, which is one of my favorite seasons. I love how the brisk air brushes my skin with the unmistakable nip of autumn. I love how the world outside is dripping in golden colors, the trees ablaze with shades of red and gold, and crisp orange leaves carpet the ground. It is also my birthday month. And to celebrate my b-day with all of you, I’d like to giveaway a present to my loyal fans. That’s right—I’m giving away gifts!

To promote BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN and SHATTERED SILENCE (with more romantic escapades and additional bonus material!) and to give fans of the Spellbound series a chance to read the newly revised versions without having to buy a new copy, I have decided to offer it as a free download from Amazon for a limited time.

Since I have the most awesome readers on the planet, I will offer the first two Spellbound novels—now in one volume, “Spellbound Volume 1: Special Edition” from Amazon FREE between September 24th through the 26th for 3 days only.

The Doctor by Jennifer Bull

The Doctor is Jennifer Bull's debut novel and it shows a lot of promise. The story starts with our three main characters in three completely different situations. Daniel is visiting his father's Amusement park with his friends but something seems to be wrong there. Jack is a detective of the supernatural, in his latest case, hunting the most recent victim of The Doctor, a man that turns normal (or paranormal) people into killer werewolves. And finally, there's Sarah, a girl locked in a cage, living inside the nightmare her father has created, trying to escape only to find out that it was all a game her twisted father played on her. These three lives will collide and all of them will try to find and stop The Doctor while struggling to remain sane and alive.

I really enjoyed the first couple of chapters for each character. They were really creepy and it made me think that the story would be like a horror movie, but after a few chapters the creepy factor got lower and the mystery of The Doctor came to life. I really enjoyed that part, especially at the very end. For me there were two moments of WTF just happened, and I saw the first one coming, but the second one was a huge surprise.

The character and storyline I enjoyed the most was Jack. He is a paranormal detective and has a great and hilarious partner. I just loved the whole paranormal society and would love to see more of it. Maybe in a book just about Jack and another one of his cases, now that would be something I'd love to read.

This is the perfect read for Halloween, it even takes place during that time. So if you are in the mood for something a bit creepy and quite mysterious, get ready for the chase of The Doctor.

Cover Remake

It has been a long time since the last update about my novel, Burning Sky. So, I decided it was time to do one and also ask for your help with a decision I have to make. Firstly, let me tell you that I am currently re-writing the story based on the amazing edits of Heidi @ Rainy Day Ramblings. But this month is very busy for me at Uni and I don't know how much of a progress I might have. Anyways, what I did have time to do is mess up with the old cover of Burning Sky and when I say mess up I mean to a whole remake of it. So here are the two covers.

So, I need your help. Tell me which one you prefer and if you have any suggestions on how to make them better. I was also considering doing a third version which would be a mash up of both covers, using the lettering and background of the second one and the necklace of the first one, or something like that. What do you think?

Bad Yeti (Kate Grable #1.5) by Carrie Harris

This short story centers around Jonah, Kate's little brother. Jonah is about to venture into the LARP world. This is Live Action Role Playing, where people dress in real life as game or book characters and role play, cosplay comes to my mind everytime I hear about LARP. Anyway, during his LARP camp trip he sees a Yeti, actually the Yeti lands on his tent. With the help of three girls that he kind of has feeling for he will follow the Yeti and uncover a whole operation of creating and selling mythological creatures.

This story was very entertaining. I used to be a gamer, still am sometimes. But the whole LARPing thing seems so awesome to me, I wish there was something like that when I was a kid. Jonah is such a great main character. He is a true teenage boy. He likes every girl around him and he tries to act like the leader even when it's obvious he is far from it. We didn't get to see much of him on Bad Taste in Boys, but now we saw how adorable he really is. But also it made me realise how glad I am I don't have a little brother, it'd be a pain.
