Welcome to the Weird, the Wild, & the Wicked, where the sinfully sexy come to life, and adventure takes you away. This week I'm one of the stops on the Sinful Sirens Giveaway hop hosted by Under The Covers and Guilty Pleasures, where you can win fabulous prizes just by visiting each blog and commenting on each author's post.
Summer is coming (well, it's here in Las Vegas already), and the best things about summer are the reading and the drinks. There's nothing better than kicking back with a good book and a cool drink. I prefer Virgil's Root Beer on ice, but I know there are many other libations both refreshing and wonderful.
Fortunately, my upcoming release, Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack, takes care of both of these situations. It's a great book, and it takes place at the Wolf's Den, a bar in the little town of Callowwood. Julianna Morris takes a job there as the manager when she comes home after almost two decades away.
Here's the blurb:
Julianna Morris didn’t know
werewolves existed…until she became one.
Hiding her new identity, Julianna
returns home only to find her teenage crush, Jeff Lightfoot, is the future
Alpha of the Callowwood werewolf pack. She’s unexpectedly chosen as a candidate
for the pack’s next Luna, the Alpha female—and Jeff’s mate. This is perfect,
except Julianna knows nothing about being a werewolf, and someone’s determined
to make her fail the Seven Tests of the Luna.
Jeff Lightfoot lusted after
Julianna for years, even when he thought she was human. Now she’s home and all
his—if she passes the tests. She’s his True Mate and he wants no one else, but
pack politics trump Mother Nature and will prevent him from choosing Julianna
if she fails.
For the future she wants,
Julianna must pass the tests to become Queen Bitch of Callowwood—or watch Jeff take
another woman as his mate.
It's a sinfully sexy, and let me tell you, Julianna makes an excellent siren for Jeff. For the giveaway hop, just tell me your favorite drink and what it consists of. What are the ingredients, and can you make it at home?
Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful giveaway hop and be sure to check out the other authors on the Linky list below. Each one has a fabulous prize to give away. Happy reading! :)

Thank you for visiting, Loretta. :)
DeleteI love the sound of Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack, love werewolves stories, my favorite tipple is Christmas Pudding Vodka and I have to have some on the fridge at all times, It would be easier for me to put the link up for the drink as it has a lot of ingredients in it and of course all the prep involved, I hope you manage to open it OK, it is on a UK site, http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/christmas_pudding_vodka_45343
ReplyDeleteThe only other thing I do differently, is to add lemonade when poured into a glass as it is rather syrupy on it's own, Hope you enjoy it, Thankyou for a wonderful give-away and for making it international x x

LOL I'm so glad. Coffee is one of my favorite drinks, too. Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteMy favorite drink, beside fresh roasted coffee, is simple. In a short whiskey glass filled with ice ..slowly pour in a light Canadian whiskey to the top ..gently stir with your finger ..lick your finger and enjoy. You can add honey if you want it a little sweeter. ;-)
ReplyDelete@SocialPoetics
Oooh, that does sound good, Rg. I like the addition of honey. Thanks so much for stopping by. :)

DeleteOh... Love the Strawberry Daiquiri! Now I'm a fan of the K-cup hot apple cider....as long as I throw a ton of cinnamon in it.

Wow, brave woman! :) I tried to cut out cream and sugar, but I still needed the cream for my coffee. I bow to your greatness. Thank you for commenting, Yvette. :)
DeleteOne of my favorite resteraunts serves an iced coffee with coconut milk. Delicious! I suppose I could make it at home, but it's way more fun to go out. :)
ReplyDeletediannewrites2(at)hotmail(dot)com
I've never tried it with coconut milk. I bet it adds a touch of sweetness. That sounds great. Thanks for stopping by, Dianne. :)
DeleteI'm a coffee junkie...I drink about 4 pots a day. I'm wound for sound all day.
ReplyDeleteandieleah78@gmail.com
LOL, "wound for sound", that's a great line! Do you drink it hot or cold, or either? Thanks so much for commenting, Andie. :)
DeleteI drink a pot of coffee a day then I start drinking sun kist. Thanks for the giveaway. Gale
ReplyDeletepgan427@yahoo.com
I have limited myself to one cup of coffee a day so the cream doesn't surround my hips, but I savor every bit of it. The Sunkist sounds like a refreshing twist. Thanks for stopping by, Gale. :)

Directions:
1Prepare lemonade as directed on label.

Well since the coffee mug is part of the fun giveaway opportunity, it is so appropriate that my favorite drink is coffee LOL Lets take some Cafe Verona beans and grind them then brew or french press a nice strong cup, add some cream (I actually love Coffeemate - shhhh don't tell) and add one of the little mini bottles of Irish Cream - OHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHH! Just the smell of the steaming cup sends me off to enjoy a new place in my imagination :) Thank you for your fun participation in this hop and the awesome giveaway opportunity.
