Focus On Fantasy Romance

Elle, AR, Paulina, and Ishabelle talk about our busy lives and how we take care of ourselves through the week.

**THERE ARE SPOILERS.** ***WE GET OFF TOPIC*** BLURB: For some, rebirth is not a reward. Centuries ago the gods demanded Ashayna Stonemantle sacrifice her demon-tainted lover. She did, and then ended her own life, but it didn’t fulfill her obligations to the gods. Reborn into a new body, Ashayna has no awareness of her former life until her sentient magic manipulates her into seeking out Sorntar, Crown Prince of the Phoenix. The majestic and charismatic Sorntar reveals that she is host to a Larnkin—a spirit creature of vast power. If she can trust the word of a man who is part avian, he is host to her Larnkin’s other half. When their Larnkins awaken early and force them into an unbreakable bond, Ashayna and Sorntar are accused of being corrupted by an ancient evil. To prove their innocence, they must discover what happened in the past to pit bondmate against bondmate. As the search for the truth draws them closer together, Ashayna realizes she’s falling in love with Sorntar. But before she can tell him, his tainted Larnkin enslaves him. The gods demand she kill her beloved, as she did once before, but she will not do it, even if it’s the only thing that will keep her soul safe from his darkness.

Elle, AR, and Paulina discuss what we want to get accomplished this year and some of the things that distract us from accomplishing them.

Elle, AR, Paulina, and Ishabelle talk about our accomplishments and missteps in 2016.

Tonight we have with us the cast from the upcoming web-series Alliance Chronicles which is based on characters and the world of School Nightz…a collection of three novellas from Author Michelle Cornwell-Jordan. This Independent video production comes from 4CWMedia and Under The Towers Productions. The web-series plotline follows the three main characters Angel (played by Brianna Jordan), Rafael (played by Angel Ray) and Elin (played by Allyson Womack) as they hunt the evil Wasiki and his rogue paranormals who escape at the end of novella three. The team is diverted to the 19th century where with the help of two new characters must face the their greatest enemy and stop him from bringing back an ancient enemy that would destroy the Human and Paranormal world.

Join Elle, A.R., and Paulina as they discuss Jessi Gage’s Wishing for a Highlander and various topics that come up. **THERE ARE SPOILERS.** Blurb: Single-and-pregnant museum worker Melanie voices an idle wish while examining a Scottish artifact, that a Highland warrior would sweep her off her feet and help her forget her cheating ex. The last thing she expects is for her wish to be granted. Magically transported to the middle of a clan skirmish in the sixteenth-century Highlands, she comes face to face with her kilted fantasy man. Tall, handsome, and heir to his uncle’s lairdship, Darcy Keith should be the most eligible bachelor in Ackergill. Instead, thanks to a prank played on him in his teenage years, he is known for being too large under his kilt to ever make a proper husband. “Big Darcy” runs his deceased father’s windmills and lives alone at his family manor, believing he will never marry. But a strangely-dressed woman he rescues from a clan skirmish makes him long for more. When the woman’s claims of coming to Ackergill by magic reach the laird’s ears, she is accused of witchcraft. Darcy determines to protect her any way he can, even if it means binding her to him forever. Jessi Gage’s author page: http://amzn.to/2eT2zmh
