Went to see WANTED yesterday.
This. Movie. Was. HOT! Loved it. Omg loved it. Action, guns, James McAvoy, action, bloodshed, Angelina Jolie, guns, bloodshed, action, nonstop thrills, action, guns….
Seriously. It was filled with awesomeness. Visually, the action scenes are amazing, one of those ‘I can’t wait to see this again’ kind of movies. James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie do some incredible stunts (and are also pretty to look at…heh). And Morgan Freeman is in it and he just rocks my world. There are mutliple plot twists and turns, but really, if you’re looking for ‘reality’ in your movie, don’t seek out WANTED. It’s pure make believe….and oh so much fun.
Did I mention I loved this movie? :sasmokin:

RIDING ON INSTINCT is finished! Typed the last word of the last chapter this afternoon. Damn I’m glad to be done with this book. Now I have to go back and edit it, make it pretty, then get it off my desk!
And speaking of RIDING ON INSTINCT……look what I got recently. Just to whet your appetites for April, 2009. 
Department of Justice agent Shadoe Grayson is out to prove she’s no rookie, and eagerly accepts her first undercover assignment at a strip club in New Orleans. Working with the Wild Riders, a government agency of bad boy bikers, her goal is to bring down a corrupt DEA agent. All she has to do now is learn to strip like a pro.
Standing in Shadoe’s way is the arrogant and smokin’ hot Spencer King, her new partner and one of the Wild Riders. Spence thinks she looks more like a schoolteacher than a stripper, and doubts her ability to do the job. But when he mockingly challenges Shadoe to strip just for him, he finds out there’s more to the surprisingly sexy agent than by-the-book rules and Government Issue pantsuits.
Now Spencer has to resist his baser instincts while Shadoe learns that taking off your clothes doesn’t always equal losing control…
Annnnd, it’s already up for Preorder at Amazon.

Gia Dawn’s book released yesterday from Samhain, but she went in for surgery so is unable to promote it. I thought I’d help her out by buzzing her book for her (because gah…how much does it suck to have surgery when your book releases?)
I copied the Warning from the Samhain website because it cracked me up. So be sure to read on.
Love is mightier than the sword…
Demons of Dunmore, book 4.
Sir Graham Dunmore is looking forward to competing in his first summer tournament—until he gets saddled with babysitting a prince in disguise, three fairy-godmothers he would much rather see fly back to where they came from, and a woman for a squire. Gone for years, Jiliana is now back in Westmyre, older, colder, with a lethal fighting skill that leaves him both impressed and intrigued.
Jili doesn’t recognize this sleek, well-trained man as the awkward friend from her youth. But seeing Graham again brings back painful memories of a brutal past. One that forces her to live a life of tight control, lest one slip unleash a deadly monster capable of hurting everyone in her path.
Yet as Graham patiently teaches her the arts of love, Jili has a glimmer of hope that she can finally control the killer that lurks inside her—until a ninja assassin begins to stalk the tournament.
With a heavy heart, she realizes Graham is going to need every skill she possesses to protect the prince—the very skills that could tear them apart forever.
Warning: This title contains cranky fairies, a gorgeous hero, and a heroine who just about kicks his ass…plus really sizzling sex told in naughty language.

NOTHING PERSONAL is now available in PRINT (also in e-book!) from Samhain Publishing! You can buy it at your favorite bookstore, from Amazon(though Amazon says it’s currently unavailable. I’m sure that’ll change shortly), or from your favorite online retailer.
It was nothing personal, just a business arrangement.
Ryan McKay is a multi-millionaire with a problem. He needs a bride to fulfill terms of his grandfather’s will. Unfortunately, the one he chose just bailed on him and he’s hours away from losing his company. Enter Faith Lewis - his shy, devoted assistant. Ryan convinces Faith to step in and marry him, assuring her their marriage is merely a business deal. Ryan is certain he can keep this strictly impersonal. After all, he’s the product of a loveless marriage and for years has sealed his own heart in an icy stone. Despite Faith’s warmth, compassion and allure, he’s convinced he’s completely immune to her charms.
Faith will do anything for her boss, but marry him? The shy virgin sees herself as plain and unattractive, a product of a bitter mother who drummed it into her head that she wasn’t worthy of a man’s love. But she agrees to help Ryan fulfill the terms of his grandfather’s will, hoping she doesn’t lose her heart to him in the process.
But love rarely listens to logic, and what follows is anything but business.

I was very lucky to get to read this book early, and it releases today so now all of you can erad it!!
I loved it. It’s dark, gritty, funny, sexy, hawt as hell, with demons! I love demons! 
And the demons in Larissa’s book are smokin hot. This book is unique, Larissa’s storytelling is compelling and raw. I love her voice, the way she turns a phrase, at one time making me laugh, another making me squirm, and another making my heart pound. She is truly a gifted storyteller and you will fall madly in love with the characters and this new Demonica series.
Go. Buy it now. You will LOVE it like I did. 
In a place where ecstasy can cost you your life…
She’s a demon-slayer who hungers for sensual pleasure—but fears it will always be denied her. Until Tayla Mancuso lands in a hospital run by demons in disguise, and the head doctor, Eidolon, makes her body burn with unslakable desire. But to prove her ultimate loyalty to her peers, she must betray the surgeon who saved her life.
Two lovers will dare to risk all.
Eidolon cannot resist this fiery, dangerous woman who fills him with both rage and passion. Not only is she his avowed enemy, but she could very well be the hunter who has been preying upon his people. Torn between his need for the truth and his desire to find his perfect mate before a horrific transformation claims him forever, Eidolon will dare the unthinkable—and let Tayla possess him, body and soul…

This book releases in print next week, and is currently available in e-book from Samhain Publishing. It’s a wonderful romance, not erotic, and one of my absolute favorites (I know, I say that about all my books. But really, it is )

EXCERPT: (after the jump)

It’s no secret to anyone who’s known me for awhile that my Samhain editor, Angie James and I go way back. Way back to before she started with Samhain. She and I laugh together. A lot.Usually about stupid shit. She has a wicked weird sense of humor like I do.
So today they(they being TPTB at Samhain) were working on the HOLIDAY SEDUCTION cover, which contains my Samhain novella, UNWRAPPED, and Lauren Dane’s Samhain novella, TO DO LIST. This book will be coming out in print this November, and we needed to finalize the cover, which meant getting a quote for the cover like…uh…right NOW.
Needless to say that wasn’t going to happen, so Lauren in her ultimate brilliance suggested Angie do the quote.
Sure wish we could really use this one. Don’t you just love it?
And no, this isn’t the final cover. Unless Nora miraculously shows up and says, Hey, go for it! (A girl can always hope, ya know.)
Come on. Nora wouldn’t mind her name on the heroine’s left boob, would she?
