Book Blitz/Tour: Two Princes by Victoria Danann

TWO PRINCES:
The Biker and the Billionaire

by Victoria Danann

Series: Sons of Sanctuary MC, Book 1

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 16, 2015

Brigid Roan is a graduate student at the University of Texas. She had no trouble getting her thesis approved, but finding a Hill Country motorcycle club willing to give her access to their lifestyle had started to seem impossible. Then she got a lead. A friend of a friend had a cousin with ties to The Sons of Sanctuary.

What she wanted was information to prove a proposition. What she didn’t want was to fall for one of the members of the club. Especially since she had set out to prove that motorcycle clubs are organized according to the same structure as primitive tribal society.

Brash Fornight was standing in line at the H.E.B. Market when his world tipped on its axis. While waiting his turn to check out, his gaze had wandered to the magazine display and settled on the new issue of “NOW”. The image on the cover, although GQ’d up in an insanely urbane way, was… him.

After reading the article, Brash threw some stuff in a duffle and left his club, The Sons of Sanctuary, with a vague explanation about needing a couple of days away. He left his Jeep at the Austin airport and caught a plane for New York, on a mission to find the guy who was walking around with his face.

Two brothers, one a player, one a playboy, neither aware of the other, are on a collision course with destiny and a woman who thought she won a prize when she was allowed a look inside the Sons of Sanctuary MC.

“Sir?” Brash Fornight gradually became aware that someone behind him in the grocery checkout line was trying to get his attention. “Sir?” He refocused and glanced behind him. The woman leaning on a cart overflowing with chip bags and cookie boxes nodded toward the cashier indicating that it was his turn to move forward. Brash looked her in the eye and had to give her props. Most people wouldn't have the balls to try to herd a guy wearing Sons of Sanctuary MC leather.
The club employed a woman who cooked and did grocery shopping several times a week as part of her job description, but Brash didn't like to explain his relentless craving for peanuts and he liked being teased about it even less. He didn't know whether it was the Vitamin B or the fat or just because he liked the taste, but he couldn't imagine going a day without them.
That’s how he came to be standing statue still in the grocery checkout line, being prompted by some woman with more nerve than sense. While he was waiting, his eyes drifted over the magazine display and settled on the cover of “NOW”, on the Most Eligible Bachelor edition no less. The debonair figure staring back was wearing Brash’s own face and body. He looked different with short hair and a four thousand dollar suit with the shirt fashionably open at the neckline, but the similarity was inescapable.
On impulse he grabbed the magazine and tossed it onto the conveyor belt with his week’s stash of peanuts.
He stuffed the bags into the saddlebags of his bike and roared toward home, nervously tapping his fingers on handlebars at red lights, riding on shoulders to keep from slowing down. He was anxious to get to the privacy of his own room and read about Branach St. Germaine.
Two beers, one jar of peanuts, and one “NOW” article later, Brash was sitting on the edge of his bed looking at the wall, seeing nothing but his own heavy thoughts. He pulled out his phone, looked up a website, and waited on hold for ten minutes to hear the time of the next flight from Austin to New York.
There was a flight to Newark in a little over three hours. He looked at his watch and calculated the time it would take to drive from Dripping Springs at that time of day. As he booked the flight, he stood up, walked to the small closet, grabbed a duffel bag, and began shoving stuff into it. Ten minutes later, he closed his door and locked it, threw the duffel over his shoulder, and headed straight for the office downstairs. He dropped the duffel on the hallway floor beside the closed door and knocked.
“Yeah?” Brash looked inside, glad that his dad was by himself, and stepped in. “What’s up?”
“I’m takin’ personal time, Pop. Gonna be gone for a couple of days.”
“What the hell is ‘personal time’?”
The gruffness made Brash smile. “It means I’m not gonna be here if you call and I’m not tellin’ you why.”
The Sons of Sanctuary President looked up at Brash, over the top of his readers, and narrowed his eyes. “You got a secret?”
“Everybody’s got secrets.”
Brandon Fornight studied his son for a minute. “True enough. Is it the kind of secret that could affect this club?”
Brash shook his head. “Don’t see how.”
“Well, then. See you… When did you say you’d be back?”
“I didn't.”
“Bein’ purposefully vague, are you?”
Brash grinned. “That’s why they call it personal time. But I expect to be back Friday.”
“You gonna have your phone with you?” When Brash nodded, Bran looked back down at his ledger in a deliberately dismissive gesture. “Well, get outta here then.”

For now.

The wife of one handsome husband and mother of three perfect sons, Irish divides her time between writing at home, and travelling the country with her man while – writing. (Seriously, what else?)

She believes in making every day count for something, and follows the wise admonition of her mother to, “Look out the window and see something!”

He lingered less than a breath away, letting her scent pull him in. Desire turned tactile. She lifted onto the balls of her feet. Her hands moved to the back of his neck, her thumbs against his ears. He closed the space, tentatively brushing his lips over hers, afraid where this might lead but wanting desperately to find out.
The delicious warmth of her body quickened his heart, and he was caught in a wildfire named Gracie Fox.

Book Tour: The Shadows Series by RM Alexander

Hello everyone! I first featured this amazing series when books 2 and 3 were released! At the time, I grabbed Book 1: Veil of Secrecy for free, and without the authors knowledge read it all in one night. Then when I found out the author was looking for reviews for the entire series, I couldn't help but sign-up! So while I acquired Veil of Secrecy on my own, Book 2: Dark Crossing, and Book 3: Revelations were given to me in exchange for an honest review. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have! Below, you will find snippets and my reviews for EACH of these amazing books, and then at the VERY bottom, an interview with my friend RM Alexander herself! So please be sure to check out the whole post. Sorry it's so long! 

I LOVE THIS SERIES!

Shadows Book 1: Veil of Secrecy

The darkest secrets won't remain hidden.

Rachel Brackett arrives in Sullivan, Montana with simple goals: relocate, settle an estate, and manage her own antique store. Her parents and friends back home called it running away. That’s just fine with her.

Rachel’s curiosity leads her into the forest, and she finds creatures who know more about her ominous heritage than she does. The creatures only exist in nightmares – grotesque mutants and shapeshifters. They seek vengeance for hideous crimes in genetic engineering, and Rachel is the prime target for retribution. While Rachel searches for the truth behind the family she never knew, a bounty hunter stalks her every move. Only Leonardo, a figure shrouded in the shadows, offers protection. A were lion with the perfect blend of human and feline features. Terrifying. Impossible. Alluring.

When Rachel’s home is ripped apart and a friend attacked, it’s clear there is no safe haven. She is no longer running from her past, but trying to survive to make it to her future.

MY REVIEW:

This is a super intense introduction to what you can feel is going to be a huge story. The TWISTS!!! I was left guessing at every turn of this book. In the first book of the Shadow series, it's all about introducing characters and getting the essential relationships that will survive the length of this series established. This is the first time I've ever hear or read about a were-lion or were-cat or what ever you want to call Leonardo, and Alexander did a FANTASTIC job of defining and describing something brand new. NOT an easy task. (I should know, I'm a writer too. Ask any writer, creating the un-known can feel dang near impossible.) BRAVO!!!
 

5 STARS for VEIL OF SECRECY!!!

Shadows Book 2: Dark Crossings

"Normal" is just a word, and one that no longer applies to Rachel Brackett's life in the Bitterroot Mountains.

Keeping her two lives in Sullivan, Montana isn't easy. Rachel struggles to protect those with the deepest secrets, and the only one helping to keep her sanity intact is Leonardo. When he disappears, Rachel's world tilts on a dangerous axis.

War with the Others is building, leaving Rachel and Justiz in a rush to find Leonardo.

Time is not on her side, and Rachel must find a way of reaching Leonardo, or risk those she cares the most about.

MY REVIEW

In book two, it's all about the struggle. The struggle to survive, and keep secrets, and keep things organized, while convincing the ones you love in both sides of your life that your fine. Rachel is super tough, don't get me wrong, but in this book she is put through the wringer. As the blurb says, Leonardo disappears, and when she finds him, well that would introduce Alexander's insane twist skills. YOU WILL NOT SEE IT COMING!!! Nor will you anticipate the heart breaking and yet beautiful ending to Dark Crossing. I cried from the excruciation pain, and then cried some more at the beauty that came from that pain. READ IT!!!! I'm seriously struggling to keep this a spoiler free review!

5 STARS for DARK CROSSINGS

 

Shadows Book 3: Revelations

Rachel Brackett is living on the edge, and the view is exhausting.

The lines have been drawn. Rachel searches for ways of setting her adopted family free of the evil caused by Telov's experiments. Winning requires nothing less than full cooperation from all factions, leaving Rachel and Leonardo to unite forces bonded by hate. In the search, Rachel uncovers truths more crippling than any she has known, and threatens all that she has come to love.

The war has arrived, and anything less than success promises to forever poison the beauty of the mountains with the stench of death.

MY REVIEW:

Wow! If you've read my reviews of VEIL OF SECRECY and DARK CROSSING, then you've already heard me cheering Alexander for her skills in honestly surprising me with twists and turns that I NEVER see coming. REVELATIONS is no different. From the beginning I could feel a change in the air, so to speak. I knew something huge was going to change between Leonardo, Rachel, and Justiz. My worst fear was thankfully not even remotely realized, though it came SERIOUSLY close! The end of this trilogy, that has had a gentle theme of romance laced among all the awful drama that is the SHADOW SERIES, is like nothing I could have ever imagined, heartbreaking in its selflessness, and yet perfect. Alexander's development of her characters is the only way she could have pulled off such an exquisitely pieced ending. 

5 STARS to REVELATIONS

And now for an interview with RM Alexander!!!

What inspired you to write in the first place?

            Robin: Oh boy! You know, I don't know if there is something that inspired me to write. I literally just picked up a pencil and paper when I was ten years old, started writing and caught a bug for creating stories.

What inspired this particular book/series?

                        A dream. I kept having this one dream for weeks and weeks on end, and finally, I woke up one morning and starting writing down the notes and character sketches.

How do you spend your free time?

                        Free time? What's that? LOL! But seriously, I'm a stay at home mom who homeschools. When they go to bed, I work.

What literary character do you most relate too?

                        Umm...I don't know. I don't think there's one in particular. At different times in my life, I've related to one character over another, but it constantly changes as my life goes in different directions.

What is the thing you struggle most with when you are writing and how do you defeat it?

            Writer's block is the plague of writing. LOL! When it hits, and it does with every book, I pick up another book and read a paragraph, a page, a chapter. Whatever it takes to get those juices flowing.

If you could spend a day inside one book, what book would it be and why?

                        Pride and Prejudice. I just want to see the time period in person for a few minutes.

If your book was made into a movie, who would play the main characters?

                        Rachel would be Nina Debrov, Justiz would be Jesse Metcalfe. After that, I'm not sure. Leonardo would be so hard to cast, but I'd love to see who the producers would see the role.

Do you listen to music while you write? If so what kind?

                        Most of the time, yes, I do. The kind of music changes with every book. With the Shadows series, I really couldn't find anything that worked until I wrote Revelations. Then I found some great mood music and natural woods sounds.

What is your writing snack of choice?

                        I actually don't have one. Since I do my writing at night, the most I usually do is drink a bunch of water. LOL!

Which of your personality traits did you write into one of your characters? (Accidental or deliberate)

                        My love for nature tends to bleed over into a lot of my books, as well as my love for traveling. Other than that, I can see different parts of me in each of my main characters, but I won't tell you what.
