Countdown to Christmas…

Valerie Tibbs — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 01:29:35 +0000

For the next couple of weeks, the ladies at International Heat have decided to write a Countdown to Christmas story. Each day one of us will add the next installment.

Then, on December 23, we hand the reins over to you. We’re asking the readers to create The End to our story.

On Dec. 30, the IHers will choose the best ending and that reader will win the grand prize. What’s the grand prize? A ton of ebooks from us!

You can find the story here. It started yesterday with Rhian Cahill and today Lexxie Couper adds to the fun.

Many other cool prizes from authors and publishers.

Daily giveaways of ebooks and prints.

T, the owner of Ebook Addicts, is hosting an anniversary scavenger hunt from now until October 3. T has rounded up some amazing prizes, not the least of which is a brand-new Kindle. Details can be found by clicking on the banner above. I’m participating in the scavenger hunt, so while you’re here, why don’t you take a peek around and see if you can find the tiny icon. It looks similar to the banner, but it’s tucked away somewhere very safe. Hee hee.

Meet The Heat – week two

Valerie Tibbs — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 13:52:12 +0000

It’s week two of our Meet The Heat summer extravaganza!!!

This week featured member is the outrageously delicious Lexxie Couper. My first introduction to Lexxie was about two years ago right after I read Savage Retribution from Samhain. Wowza.

I had the pleasure of meeting Lexxie in person at RT this past April and she is just the most wonderful lady. Her accent is so much fun and I love all her Aussie-isms. We had fun playing with thongs. ;)

Anyway, here’s the book I wanted to feature for Lexxie. This is a great book – suspenseful, engaging, and very well written:

Savage Retribution

An animal rights activist is about to get a crash course in werewolves. One she may not survive.

Lone Irish werewolf Declan O’Connell has lost everything—his family, his clan, even his freedom—to his arch-rival, Nathan Epoc. The head of an underground werewolf clan and a brilliant scientist, Epoc plans to use Declan to create a super-wolf, a creature capable of shifting the balance of power in the lycanthrope world. But Epoc’s plans are about to be thwarted.

Regan Thomas, a determined animal rights activist, rescues what she thinks is an ordinary wolf from his notorious animal testing facility in Sydney, Australia. She gets more than she bargained for when the wolf turns into an extremely hunky, extremely naked man who immediately drags her into a world where the clash between two opposing werewolf clans could spell the end of humankind.

Declan has survived without a clan for more years than he cares to remember, but sexy Regan stirs up all his fierce, alpha-wolf instincts. Now Declan has one last chance at revenge. But can he keep Regan alive, and resist the overwhelming attraction between them, long enough to stop Epoc?

Summer in Australia has never been this hot… or this dangerous.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, graphic violence, violent sex, high-speed car-chases, wild werewolf action and Australian sarcasm.
