Spring Fling Blog Hop

Today is the first day of the
The Spring Fling Blog Hop!

Spring Fling Blog Hop

The The Spring Fling Blog Hop runs from 12:01am April 23rd through to 11:59pm April 27th and is hosted by Selena Blake and Reading Between the Wines Book Club.  There are so many awesome authors and bloggers participating in the hop, giving away books, swag, giftcards, and other goodies.
For my contest, I've decided to give away a signed copy of Night Reigns, the second book in my Immortal Guardians paranormal romance series + some Immortal Guardians swag, including one of the Phantom Shadows cover flats I just received.  :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Top Pick
"This blend of kick-butt action, intriguing plot twists and
heartfelt passion is utterly addictive!"
– RT Book Reviews

"Crackles with energy, originiality, and a
memorable take-no-prisoners heroine."
– Publishers Weekly

Ami isn't much for trusting strangers.  She has a hard time trusting anyone.  But she's no coward, and she's no pushover in the protection department either.  So when she comes across a mysterious warrior taking on eight deranged vampires on his own, she doesn't hesitate to save his bacon.  Of course, that was before she realized what one little rescue would get her into . . .

Marcus Grayden has been an immortal protector of humanity for eight hundred years, and at the moment he's not interested in backup.  From the moment Ami arrives in his life, he can't deny that she's strong, smart, and extremely skilled at watching his back.  But she's also destroying his protective solitude and stirring desires he can't bear to awaken.  After all, whatever her secrets -- how can she defeat death itself?
“What did you think I would do? Ask her if I could braid her hair after we gave each other facials and painted our toenails?”
– Marcus

“You either lean down or I clothesline you with it. Your choice.”
– Ami

“Dab, Abi. How cad you turd me od whed my face feels like it just exploded?”
– Marcus

“How is kicking my ass going to help?” Marcus grouched.
Seth shrugged. “Makes me feel better.”

"I can love Ami and kick ass at the same time. I'm multifunctional.”
– Marcus

Seth exchanged a resigned stare with David. “What has gotten into them tonight?”
David shrugged. “Too much sugar?”

“Are you sure I can't talk you into leaving this old sod and running away with me? I do so love strong women.”
– Étienne

“Over eight centuries of living and I still haven't learned a bloody thing. I still want what I can't have.”
– Marcus

  28. Oh, I wish I had a hero in just one book. You will find I am more or less your alpha male indecisive slut. I tend to latch onto any alpha male character and immediately fall in love. Like all wonderful things, they have a special place in my heart and will visit them regularly, but am no loyal to just one :-) Looking forward to reading your books.

  41. My current favorite hero is Shane from Suzanne Brockmann's Born to Darkness. Shane is a former Navy SEAL and well, I love a man in uniform. The book is set in a not so distant dystopian Boston. The paranormal aspect of this book is enhanced human performance (no vamps, weres or shifters)
