Hot Winter Nights Giveaway Hop


Welcome to the Hot Winter Nights Giveaway Hop on the Weird, the Wild, & the Wicked. What is one of your favorite things about this time of year? For myself, I love the lights that come out and decorate the houses and yards around me. They make me feel all cozy.

But the best thing about this time of year is the snuggling under thick, fleece blankets with a hot partner. A little Irish Coffee or Captain Morgan Hot Cocoa, a flickering fire in the fireplace, and a warm body to snuggle with, and I'm set. My husband and I make it a point (LOL) to spend some time alone in the evenings after the kids go to bed, to reacquaint ourselves with the physical reasons why we married. *Happy sigh* Oh yeah, I love those hot winter nights. ;)

Now, while it's not set in winter time, there's nothing hotter than a werewolf lover, and my heroine from Queen Bitch of the Callowwood Pack is looking to find herself a long term alpha male. 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.

Not only is this book available at BookstrandAmazon, and Barnes & Noble, but it makes great Holiday gifts for the loved ones who love print books and those with ereaders.

Giveaway Hop Grand Prize

  1. Love your post and I like you love all the seasonal blitz that comes with cold winters. My only wish would be that down here in the south Austin Texas is that those cold winter nights would happen more often. Usually we get like 2 to 3 cold nites and thats it. But when we do get those cold nites, you better believe I got my fireplace going with some wine and snuggling up with hubby or reading a good book in front of the fireplace - LOL People think it is funny because here in Austin, even on Christmas the normal clothing wear is Shorts as they continue to work on their tans - LOL while everyone else is in coats and playing in the snow etc...

    Here is wishing you a blissful hot winter night through the holiday season.

  7. I agree with Rissa, I wouldn't mind having a sexy cowboy to help warm up my December nights. What i'd really love to have is a hotty with dark hair and dark eyes coming out of my kitchen with a steaming hot cup of coco. What we do after that is up to him.

    I wouldn't mind if he either had a texas drawl or a sexy accent of some kind. French, Austrailian, Scottish, you name it I'll take it! Sigh.
