I recently joined this yahoo group called Midnight Seductions which is managed by 30 wonderful authors that I haven't read but have heard many great things about some of their novels. From August 1st through August 4th they are having a wonderful Summer Bash where there will be a ton of different contests from many different authors. Well I'm participating in their grand prize contest and here is what I had to do in order to be entered in the contest. To enter for the grand prize I had to visit the Midnight Seductions blog. I then select FIVE member authors and visit their websites. Then I had to choose ONE book from each author I selected and write comments about why I'd love to read each of those five books. Then I'd have to post my comments in a public place, such as MySpace, FaceBook, your blogspot, your website, or any yahoo reader group you belong to that allows open promos and reader comments. I obviously chose to post my comments on the books I've chosen here on my blog. Then I have to send an email to midnightseductions1 @ yahoo.com (obviously without the spaces) with "grand prize" in the subject line and a link to the post in the body of the email, and I'll be entered!



The first author that I will be commenting about is Ava Rose Johnson. I've heard many good things about her and her books so I went to visit her website and I found one book that I've seen around the internet a lot and has recently been released. Here is the description about the book The Vampire Oracle: Power and picture which I got from Ava Rose Johnson's website:



The Vampire Oracle: Power by Ava Rose Johnson


Jourdain has spent centuries tracking the Elemental Ruby to Chicago. Desperate to destroy the danger it could cause, he will do anything to find it, even deceive. Bryanne, the ruby’s owner, is fascinated by the stranger who rescued her from the hands of an attacker. Unaware of his motives, she responds to his sexual energy and welcomes him into her bed.


But when an enemy ups the stakes, Jourdain is forced to come clean, Bryanne is unsure where to turn. Should she trust Jourdain or run as fast as she can? One thing’s for sure, the wrong decision could mean death.



The reason I chose this book out of her other book is because I love paranormal novels and vampires are one of my top favorite paranormal creatures that I love to read about. I was also intrigued when I read the blurb but what really got me was the amazing excerpt. After I read it I knew that I had to have this book, but unfortunaly for me it will have to wait until I safe up enough money to afford it. It is definitely on my wishlist for when I start shopping for new novels. The cover also did capture my attention but it has that mysterious man with the strange looking vampire teeth.



The second author that I will be commenting about is L.A. Day. I've heard many good things about her and her books, I even won her book Satin Seductions, so I went to visit her website and I found one book that caught my attention immediately. Here is the description about the book Double Penetration and picture which I got from L.A. Day's website:




Double Penetration by L.A. Day



Grey is a vampire tired of his barren existence. Long ago, he learned to feed without killing but still he doesn't dare get close to a human. A feisty female being attacked by two males piques his interest and he rescues her. Shannon enthralls him but he knows he shouldn't get involved. Grey burns with desire for her but knows he can't force an immortal existence on her.


Shannon is a cancer survivor but, robbed of her ability to have children, she feels empty inside—barren, worthless, less than a woman. Their souls collide when they make love but she doesn't think he'll want a permanent relationship with her. Grey can have anyone.


Just when she feels whole again, a taste of her blood confirms that her cancer has returned. Grey wants her as his immortal mate but will either survive a vengeance-seeking vampire?



The reason I chose this book was because the title really caught my attention right from the start. When I read the blurb it kept my attention because it was yet again another paranormal novel about one of my top favorite paranormal creature the vampire. The cover is beatiful and very distracting but I have to say that excerpt was too short for me but I guess they only give you enough to catch you on their hook and reel you in to buy the book. And yet unfortunaly for me it will have to wait until I safe up enough money to afford it but it is definitely on my wishlist for when I start shopping for new novels.



Now for the third author that I will be commenting about is Paige Tyler. I've heard many good things about her and her books, I even chatted with her a couple of times, so I went to visit her website and I found one book that caught my attention immediately. Here is the description about the book The Cutler Brothers Series and picture which I got from Paige Tyler's website:



The Cutler Brothers Series by Paige Tyler


Three hot novels in one print volume!


Book One–Cade


The beautiful, but irritating Riley Barnett has been a thorn in the side of the U.S. Marshals Service ever since she entered the Witness Protection Program. And now that she once again believes her identity has been compromised, new U.S. Marshal Cade Cutler is the one sent to placate her. When it turns out that she’s right this time, Riley has to depend on Cade to protect her, even if that means putting up with his spankings every time she refuses to follow his silly rules!



Book Two–Madoc




After attending his brother’s wedding, U.S. Marshal Madoc Cutler knows one thing for sure–there is absolutely no way he would ever fall for a woman as quickly as his brother did. But he can certainly appreciate an attractive woman, and when he comes across a beautiful waitress at a small-town diner, he can’t help but notice her. However, things become complicated when he recognizes her as the runaway fugitive, Shayna Matthews. His plan to quickly transport her back to Denver to stand trial goes awry when a snowstorm forces them to take shelter in a tiny, secluded cabin in the woods. Could he possibly have been wrong about not falling for a woman as quickly as his brother did?


Book Three-The Cutler Brides


In the third book of the series, both Cade and Madoc are back, as well as their naughty brides, Riley and Shayna. While down in Texas for a family get-together, the two girls decide to go searching for a buried treasure described in local folklore. Unfortunately, they don’t have a lot of luck finding the treasure, but they do find a mystery that needs solving. They begin poking around a suspicious mining company. Even though this gets Riley and Shayna repeated spankings from their husbands, the girls refuse to give up. They’re going to find out what’s going on, no matter what!


The reason I chose this book was because it was three books in one volume and I love me a novel with more than one story. And it also caught my attention because Paige is one of my MySpace buddies and she has posted a couple of comments about this book on my MySpace comments. When I read the blurb it kept my attention because it was about three brothers and the women that they fall in love with. The cover is beatiful and very distracting but I have to say that excerpt was too short for me but I guess they only give you enough to catch you on their hook and reel you in to buy the book. And yet unfortunaly for me it will have to wait until I safe up enough money to afford it but it is definitely on my wishlist for when I start shopping for new novels.



Now for the fourth author that I will be commenting about is Rita Thedford also known as Regina Carlysle. I've heard many good things about her and her books, I even chatted with her a couple of times and won one of her print novels, so I went to visit her website and I found one book that caught my attention immediately. Here is the description about the book Tempted and picture which I got from Rita Thedford's website:


Tempted by Rita Thedford

Known as Miss Temptation by the Haute Ton, Elizabeth Grayson is a cool, remote beauty who avoids the marriage-trap at every opportunity. She hasn’t time for men and babes while seeking justice for her murdered sister. Hiding in the shadows of night, Elizabeth leads a dangerous double-life which could very well be her undoing.


Christian Delaford, the eighth Duke of Haverton, newly returned from escapades in the Orient, must be married by midnight of his birthday or forfeit everything to a distant relative. When he sees Elizabeth, he knows he must have her. The cool beauty leads him in a crazy chase but when he learns her dark secret, can the strength of his love save her from the hangman’s noose?



The reason I chose this book was because the beautiful blue cover really caught my attention. When I read the blurb it kept my attention because it was a historical novel which I really love to read. They are one of my top favorite genres besides paranormal novels. The excerpt was too short for me but I guess they only give you enough to catch you on their hook and reel you in to buy the book. And yet unfortunaly for me it will have to wait until I safe up enough money to afford it but it is definitely on my wishlist for when I start shopping for new novels.



Now for the fifth and last author that I will be commenting about is Adriana Kraft. I've heard many good things about her and her books so I went to visit her website and I found one book that caught my attention immediately. Here is the description about the book Smoldering Passion and picture which I got from Adriana Kraft's website:



Smoldering Passion by Adriana Kraft


Anything for her art! With her graduate stipend running out, budding artist Melissa Hopkins applies for a job where her aunt used to work–at a New York center for sexuality.


Sworn off women after a disastrous relationship, Center Director Harry Gage ignores the danger signals and hires the striking young woman who reminds him of his former lover. Her air of innocence will captivate center viewers, so he’s sure she’ll be a hit on camera. What he’s not prepared for is how she pierces his heart.


When the sparks ignite, is it love or just sex–and what must each of them risk to find out?


The reason I chose this book was because the lovely cover really caught my attention. When I read the blurb it kept my attention because it had the my home state New York as the setting. The excerpt was too short for me but I guess they only give you enough to catch you on their hook and reel you in to buy the book. I also thought that the author had something which really caught me from the first when I visited her website. And yet unfortunaly for me it will have to wait until I safe up enough money to afford it but it is definitely on my wishlist for when I start shopping for new novels.

Now that is all five Midnight Seductions member authors and their books. I hope that you check these very cool authors websites and their books. Comment away about them and any questions you may have that I might be able to answer.
