The Whole Latte:

Shaw “Savage” MacDougall is a pirate and must save members of his crew. There is only one snafu, he must make a deal to commit an act he vowed never to perform, ever. If he doesn’t its possible he might never see those crew members again, at least in one piece.
Oh, if only it were that easy. Nope. Remember, this is a story with pirates, and with Eliza at the helm, this pirate has one hell of a story to tell.
Savage is ruthless, but despite the rumors, he has a moral compass and a few notable traits that have so far prevented him from losing his own head. At first sight of Lady Jane Douglas he will violate every pirate code to save her, despite his instructions. How? Now where would the fun be in that? You are going to have to pre-order this must read story and pour a dram, or two. If you are looking for a pirate that will curl your toes and take you on an adventure of a lifetime, or at least for a few hours of reading enjoyment, Savage is your pirate.
Lady Jane might be young, but she is strong, stubborn, and will prove herself to be an equal match for Savage. The sacrifices that Savage takes to keep Lady Jane safe will result in many readers placing ads across social media in search of pirates.
Assumptions have been made and when Savage discovers the secrets Jane has been keeping, will he cast her aside or keep her close? Most pirates live to pillage and plunder, will Savage take what he wants and cast her aside, or love her till the end of time? The excitement of Jane discovering her true purpose is thrilling and inspiring. The excitement of Savage finding a true soul mate kept me turning page after page.
From the halls of Edinburgh castle to the majestic ship sailing the vast sea it’s time for a new series. It’s thrilling, romantic and has the perfect amount of spice. This brotherhood of pirates is seamless and the little nuances of castles, ships and travel are written with precision and such care you feel you are there with them.

Exclusive excerpt from SAVAGE OF THE SEA
Copyright © Eliza Knight 2017
Isle of Iona
October 1445
The nights were normally quiet at the abbey. Lady Jane Lindsay walked the open-air cloisters between compline and matins when everyone else was sleeping, because sleep rarely came to her.
It was an issue she’d dealt with ever since that horrible night five years before, this inability to rest. And the only thing that seemed to help was walking in the nighttime air, no matter the weather, with no one present so that she could clear her mind, stare at the stars and think of a world outside these confining walls.
Sometimes it worked, and sometimes it did not.
She was Lady Marina now, her birth name of Jane a secret between herself, her aunt and the Mother Superior. Well, and her gentle warrior. She’d not written him since that day he’d warned someone else was reading her letters. And ever since she’d stopped, the scornful gazes she’d been receiving from Mother Superior had subsided. Was it she who read the letters?
Marina had been on Iona since the day the pirate prince had left her at the shore just before dawn so none of the sisters at the abbey would be able to identify her rescuer. And though five years had passed in the company of the devoted women of God, Marina had yet to take formal vows herself. Though not for Mother Superior’s lack of trying. She wasn’t certain what held her back, only that she felt destined for something, and she’d yet to figure out what. Perhaps the overarching fear of discovery had been at the heart of that desire to keep herself free and separate from the women who had taken her in.
She’d once thought that she might like a life at sea. Those few days upon the Savage of the Sea had been the most peaceful of her life. No one had looked at her as though she were a pawn. No one had expected to use her, as had been her lot since the day she was born. Surprisingly, not even Shaw MacDougall, who she owed a debt.
For now, she knew that their lives could be in danger.
Even that rakishly handsome devil prince of pirates did not know the true danger she was in. The secret that would have made Livingstone want her dead. She’d kept that from Shaw. The less people who knew, the better.

May 6, 2015 | Blog, Blog Blitz, Jade Lee
Today I’m excited to welcome Jade Lee to the blog! Jade’s latest title, 50 Ways to Ruin a Rake, was released May 5th and is the first in her hilarious new Rakes & Rogues series. To celebrate her new release, Jade is here to share a quiz. See if you can guess correctly!
Question: I’m starting to get goofy. We’re getting to the end of a 25 stop blog tour, and I’ve been writing unique posts for every site. If you’ve been following along, you’ve learned all about 50 Ways to Ruin a Rake, most especially that it’s sexy and funny and the best thing I’ve written so far. I hope you pick it up. In the meantime, you get the goofy blog multiple choice.
What is Jade’s favorite attire to write in?
A. Part of being a professional writer is showing up as if it were a regular 9-5 job. That means suit, heels, and typing with well manicured nails.
B. Well manicured nails? Hahahaha! They’re bitten to the quick and I’m in my pajamas. Be happy it’s cold or I’d be naked.
C. I have a treaddesk, that means walking while I write. Miles upon miles. So it’s shorts, a tee, and a water bottle strapped to my hip.
D. I’m all about soft. Soft sweats, fuzzy slippers, extra comfy sweatshirt, and a purring cat on my lap.
Answer: D. Part of the allure of becoming a writer was that I no longer had to wear heels, pantyhose, or even clothes, so A is really wrong. I’m not in my pjs because I needed coffee this morning so I went out for it. I do have a treaddesk, but that’s for emails and other stuff. I tend to create better sitting down when I don’t have to worry about falling on my nose. So it’s about comfy sweats and a purring cat on my lap. Sadly, the cat is absent now. She’s off hunting mice, but somehow I persevere!
An Excerpt:
Trevor was down. Ronnie was going to finish the fight. But he hadn’t reckoned on Melinda. She’d been an unwilling participant in this whole disgusting display. Well, if her cousin wanted a Cheltenham tragedy, she would bloody well give him one.
She surged forward, having no need to fake the desperation in her voice. “Stop it! Ronnie, stop it now!” And when he didn’t hear her, she said the words she’d never thought she’d utter in her entire life. “My love!”
That got his attention. His fist was raised, but he looked to her, his eyes alight with excitement. “Mellie!”
She flung herself forward. Dropping to her knees, she slid in the mud, coming to a stop just where she’d intended—right beside Trevor’s head. Ronnie reached for her, but she pushed him away as she wrapped herself around the fallen lord.
“Stay away, you brute!” she practically spit at her cousin. Then she used her cloak to dab at the blood on Trevor’s face. “My love, my love, are you alive? Oh God, someone fetch a doctor! Please, someone!”
Her words were ten times more dramatic than were needed, but she’d learned that the best way to deliver a message to her cousin was in the most theatrical tone possible. So she cradled Trevor in her arms and crooned like any heroine in the most lurid gothic romance.
Trevor’s face was indeed a battered mess, but not so unrecognizable that she didn’t see the gleam of appreciation in his eyes or the mischievous smile that pulled at his swollen lip.
“Are you an angel?” he asked. “Have I died?”
The man was lying in the mud, his ankle nearly snapped in half. His face oozed from a myriad of cuts, and yet he still had the wherewithal to give the crowd a good show. It was enough to make her contemplate dropping him in the mud. She didn’t, of course, but she hoped her glare would suffice.
Meanwhile, Ronnie just stood there poised, his fist still raised as he gaped. “Mellie?”
She looked up, shooting a venomous look at his bloodied fist. “Do you mean to trounce me as well? Lay me out in the mud and the shite like last week’s garbage?”
“What?” Ronnie took a moment to understand while she gestured with her chin toward his fist. Then he abruptly gasped and shook out his hand, dropping it helplessly to his side. “But I won. This was an affaire d’honor.”
“Congratulations,” she mocked. “You beat a man half your weight.”
“Hey!” muttered Trevor. “I’m not that small.”
“Oh shut up. I’m making a point.” Then she turned her attention to her cousin. Best make the situation absolutely clear. “You were right, Ronnie. You have made everything so clear to me. I could never love a brute like you. It’s him I want. A man of elegance, not violence.”
She watched her cousin absorb her words, his mind obviously working slowly, and no wonder. Certainly, Ronnie was an accomplished fighter, but he’d never in his life been called a brute. He was a poet, for God’s sake. And his father was wont to call him a useless fribble with no starch whatsoever. Of course, both appellations were completely wrong, but truth didn’t matter here. Not when he’d wanted drama. And so she stretched the truth—she outright broke it—and she felt no remorse.
“I love Trevor,” she said loudly enough for everyone to hear.
“Since when?” her cousin demanded.
Since never. She had a thorough disgust of them both. Especially as Trevor began to speak in a quavering voice.
“Oh, to finally hear those words, now in the moments before I expire. My life is complete.”
“You’re not dying,” she hissed. Unless he was hurt more than he appeared. The thought shot her with alarm until he started speaking again.
“I am dying!” he cried. “Kiss me, my love. Kiss me, and mayhap your love will keep me tethered to this mortal coil.”
“I will not,” she said between clenched teeth.
He pitched his voice to a plaintive wail. “Then I shall die for sure!”
Damnation on all bloody, arrogant, ridiculous men! One glance about her showed that the crowd was hanging on his every word. She didn’t really care until she looked at Ronnie’s face. He wasn’t stupid. He could see that Trevor wasn’t really hurt. It wouldn’t take him long to remember that she’d never spoken of Trevor with anything but disdain. And from there it was a small step to realizing that this entire display was a sham. So she had to do something quickly. Something that he’d never forget, even if he did suspect the lie.
So she did it. She kissed Trevor.

May 5, 2015 | Blog, Blog Blitz, May 2015, Tawny Weber
A SEALs Pleasure by Tawny Weber will take your breath away. This decadently sinful delight is another H-O-T book that turns up the heat just like all the previous SEALs books. Absolutely every book I’ve read by Tawny has been perfection and this book is no exception. A little bit of games, romance, secret missions and friendships challenged, you will be absolutely pleased.
Tessa Monroe makes a living giving advice about relationships and how to add that “special something” that’s been missing. Unable to focus because a SEAL has gotten under her skin, she’s finally decided to do something about it. Seduce him. If she can get Romeo out of her system, she’ll be able to function. Just one time and then she’ll move on. At least that’s what Tessa tells herself.
CPO Gabriel “Romeo” Thorne never backs down from a bet or challenge. Gabriel can’t get Tessa out of his thoughts and that is something that he’s afraid will compromise his work. He needs to focus and has decided to take action. Curious if this wild woman can be tamed he has other plans – perhaps a bit of seduction and romance. Has this playboy finally met his match?
Gabriel found purpose, family and a home from SEAL team he’s on. Is there room for a woman? It takes a special kind of woman to fall for a man who can’t divulge much about his job or the assignment he’s been given. Will Tessa finally be that one?
I LOVE how each SEAL book from Tawny always brings back her previous characters that we fell in love with. Each book can be read as a stand alone but when you’ve read all the SEALs books like I have, it makes it that much sweeter to have familiar faces throughout the story. I don’t know how she brings us this fabulous sexy and action filled feast in roughly 200 pages. This is one writer that is sure to be around for a long time. I can’t wait to find out which SEAL is next, hopefully we won’t have to wait too long.
Just enough sizzle to make you tingle. For mature audience, 18 +

May 4, 2015 | Blog, Blog Blitz, May 2015, Tawny Weber
A SEALs Secret by Tawny Weber is a smokin’ hot story filled with all the goodness you expect to find in a navy SEALs adventure – Family, trust, values and expectations.
Olivia “Livi” Kane decided to help out a relative during Halloween at her bar. Pretending to be a waitress, she spots a man that made her week in the knees – a complete liquefied mess.
Lt CDR Mitch “Irish” Donovan has never met a challenge he walked away from and Livi won’t turn down a bet. What will Irish do when he discovers what her day job is? It’s absolutely electric from the first encounter and the chemistry between these two is absolutely molten.
Both have meddling family members who will affect them in ways they least expect it. When you add that to each of their commitment issues that need to be addressed it makes for lots of excitement and tension. Can they resolve it? When Livi decides to tell Mitch the truth about her concerns will it prevent them from getting closer?
Will Mitch and Livi continue to chase everyone else’s expectations of what they should be doing with their careers, or embrace their own goals? Can this navy SEAL have a family and be a navy SEAL?
I LOVED this story from the chocolate cravings I developed, to the way it was connected via the holidays. It’s cozy, steamy and full of sexy navy SEALs. I have never met a book from Tawny that I didn’t LOVE.
I received this ARC from Tasty Book Tours for a fair and honest review. At a price of $0.99 it’s a must buy for anyone that loves a sexy adventure from Tawny Weber.
