Celia’s Summer Reads

One of the best things about summer is vacation, of course. I managed to put a dent in my massive To Be Read list while relaxing in the forests and mountains of the US Pacific Northwest. Great weather, a comfy chair, a tasty beverage and some sizzling paranormal romance reads!

And lastly, dear readers, I’ll leave you with a steamy snippet from my urban fantasy romance, Haven (yep, more hot vampires, *grins*):

Alexander crushed his lips to mine. Need roared through me leaving me breathless with edgy hunger. My hands burrowed into his thick, silky hair, holding his head as if he might try to escape. He growled his approval against my lips, his kiss growing more insistent. His tongue explored my mouth. He tasted metallic, like the blood he’d consumed. Again, I found I liked the taste. My tongue danced with his and delved into his mouth, searching for more penny metal flavor. He groaned and tightened his embrace.
