Book Blurb: Childhood enemies discover the fine line between love and loathing in this heartfelt reimagining of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.

Katerina Wilmot and Christopher Petruchio shared backyards as kids, but as adults they won’t even share the same hemisphere. That is, until Kate makes a rare visit home, and their fiery animosity rekindles into a raging inferno.

Despite their friends’ and families' pleas for peace, Christopher is unconvinced Kate would willingly douse the flames of their enmity. But when a drunken Kate confesses she’s only been hostile because she thought he hated her, Christopher vows to make peace with Kate once and for all. Tempting as it is to be swept away by her nemesis-turned-gentleman, Kate isn’t sure she can trust his charming good-guy act.

When Christopher’s persistence and Kate’s curiosity lead to an impassioned kiss, they realize “peace” is the last thing that will ever be possible between them. As desire gives way to deeper feelings, Kate and Christopher must decide if it’s truly better to hate than to never risk their hearts—or if they already gave them away long ago.

Review:

Childhood enemies to lovers in this heartfelt reimagining of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew? I LOVE IT. Katerina Wilmont and Christopher Petruchio grew up together, they shared backyards as kids, but as adults they can't even be in the same room without.a fight breaking out. That changes, when Kat comes home for a rare visit and their animosity changes into something unexpected after a drunken confession from Kate telling Christopher that the only reason she's so hostile to him is because she's always thought he hated her. Christopher is completely thrown for a loop because all he's ever wanted was for her to hate him, to keep a distance, but he never ever wanted her to be hurt by him and now he's vowed to change it. Christopher and Kate are 6 years apart, she's the girl who is a travel photographer and is rarely home while he is the boy who has never left home. Kate feels like an outsider and that the only way she can love people is from a distance yet Christopher is scared of losing another loved one after his parents' death. Christopher has tried to distance himself from Kate all these years because her job pulls her away and he's afraid of losing her, afraid that if he begins to care for her she'll just leave and he would crumble without her. Yet when he discovers that she thinks he hates her, he can't let that be true, he wants to do everything to make her see just how much he has always loved her, has always cared about her, and he is done keeping a distance, now he is determined to prove to Kate that she is the only one for him. Kate doesn't know what to do with this whole new version of Christopher, she doesn't know if she can trust it, or him. The handsome guy who has only ever done one night stands is suddenly telling her he's been in love with her the whole time?? Yet the more Christopher persists and spends time with her the more Kate is beginning to open up her heart... but can she truly give her heart to him? Or will the fear of being hurt have her running off again? This was such a fantastic and heartfelt story. Christopher and Kate both have their own struggles and difficulties, but they care and are so sweet. Christopher suffers from painful migraines that constantly impact his daily life while Kate has ADHD. The emotional depth and care these characters had was amazing and the romance felt genuine and just so sweet. As a retelling, I adored it so much!! I would highly recommend this series!!

“I want my dog back.” You demand. The Book Keeper looks down “It says here that your dog died peacefully from old age- hang on, how did you get to the underworld? You’re not due here for decades.” You glare at them. “I don’t care what it says and you do not want to know the lengths I’ll go to.”

Book Blurb: Every living thing is repelled by my corpse-like body… but not my wife.

Liches are almost gone, only a handful of us left. I must marry to keep my race from extinction, yet how? No living female will ever stoop so low as to marry a lich. People fear us. They say we are the harbingers of death, bad luck, rot and decomposition. In one last bid to carry out my duty, I request a wife through the Temple. She turns out to be a neglected, sickly thing with trembling hands and downcast eyes, seeking an arranged marriage out of despair. And she’s perfect. Her blushes burn hot, her voice rings with feeling, and her kisses taste like summer. She is life personified, all warmth, light, and sweetness, and I crave her like darkness craves the sun. But will she sacrifice her warm, beating heart to a creature of death like me?

The Temple, a matchmaking service for monsters, shifters, and aliens, is open for service. Arranged Monster Mates is a series of novellas written by your favorite paranormal and sci-fi romance authors: Eden Ember, Layla Fae, and Cara Wylde. Each of these steamy stories has it all: a possessive male, a heroine ready to sacrifice herself to the beast, plenty of spice, and a happily ever after to curl your toes!

Review:

He's a monster who yearns for a bride and she's the broken ballerina who wants someone to love her, a monster and his bride, and a really sweet romance (with Beauty and the Beast vibes). Virgil is a lich, he consumes energy and is made of bone, he knows humans fear and are disgusted by him but he yearns for a companion, someone to love and be his bride, someone to not fear him. May is an orphan ballerina who was raised by an abusive Madame who made her think the only way to be loved was to be skinny, and has caused her to have an eating disorder. May has finally escaped the orphanage but she yearns for someone to love her despite how ugly she thinks she is. When May and Virgil are matched and wedded, both of them must find a way to open up to each other. It's a sweet love story about two people falling in love and becoming vulnerable and sharing with each other. i loved how sweet and caring they were to each other and how much they wanted to reassure the other that they are loved. It was a sweet read.

You were terrified when you were sentenced to be thrown into the labyrinth with the Minotaur. That is until the Minotaur charged around the corner and you discovered, to your surprise, that the Minotaur was a calf. You’re not a victim. You’re a babysitter.

Writing Authentic Battle Scenes

If you write historical novels, you may end up having to handle battles, and the question is, how to do it? The simplest way is to focus on one or more persons on the front line. You may be able to write some important character aspect of the protagonist, and this is good, but if so, the battle is merely an excuse to do that and is not an important part of the plot.

“You shall fall dead the day your first child is born!” the young, inexperienced witch had cried casting her curse. Little did she know, to an asexual like yourself, she’d practically granted immortality. Now, every year, on the anniversary of the curse, she tries her best to “fix” things.

When I died I always expected to see the pearly gates. But I never expected to see them in such ruinous conditions, as if they’d been abandoned for centuries.

Updates

A couple of quick things: 1. Holo "It's a Murder" Raven stickers are sold out. I'm hoping to make a new order when I order some new items. 2. Author Website is currently still down. I'm still trying to fix a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that is way above my head. 3. We experienced a family loss today. I may not update my socials as frequently for the time being. Best,

This has r/maliciouscompliance energy and I'm living for it. I feel the need to write a short story, but now all I can think about is Mark Sheppard in the starring role.

Every superhero in the city hates you. Not because you’re the most powerful villain but because every crime you commit is technically legal.

I’m putting together my health journal for February. I’ve been struggling a lot with my medical issues, and I’m just trying to take baby steps to getting back to where I was before the more severe issues started. Hopefully this will help!

I Did The Thing!

Hello to all my fishes and witches from my other platforms, and a very warm hello to anyone stumbling across this blog that didn't know me! I finally took the dive and created a Tumblr for all things writing, reading, and gaming that I do. To find me in other places, check out this link:
