Opposites Ignite, A Bangers Tavern Romance by Sadira Stone

 Wild Women Authors is pleased to offer Book 2 in Sadira Stone’s delightful Bangers Tavern Romances for our Books In A Series: 

Opposites Ignite—A mismatch sparks the hottest flames. Come to Bangers Tavern for a sweet and spicy tale of forbidden love that will warm your heart and whet your appetite! 

About the Book:  Bodacious and curvy, budding tattoo artist Rosie is too smart to fall for her shy, strait-laced coworker at Bangers Tavern, but too much New Year’s Eve bubbly lands her in his bed. For Eddie, their New Year’s surprise is a dream come true—until his grandma walks in on them! Panicked, Eddie fabricates a relationship on the spot. 

          Their lies spin out of control, and the longer Eddie pretends, the deeper he falls. Trouble is, Rosie won’t let Eddie hide his big dreams behind a good-son façade. Now, he has to choose. Will he keep his family happy, or hold onto a life-changing love?

Come to Bangers Tavern for steamy, opposites-attract, fake dating, BBW rom-com fun that ignites in all the worst ways—and the best!

An Excerpt: 

He tugged her forward. TV sounds and laughter rang out from the next room. Stomach wobbling, she planted her feet. “I don’t know, Eddie. I feel bad lying to your family.”

Grasping her hand in both of his, he whispered, “I said we’re work friends, and that’s what we are.” When she balked, he raised her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles. “Half an hour, tops. I promise. A few dumplings, a toast to the new year, and we’re out of here.”

The soft brush of his lips did funny things to her core—warm, tickly things. If she had the sense God gave mud, she’d back out now. But Eddie’s grandma already thought Rosie was his girlfriend. What could it hurt to play along for a few minutes more?

She nodded, and Eddie broke into a sweet, crooked smile that made her feel even more guilty. Eddie wasn’t the kind of guy who indulged in meaningless hookups. Should’ve considered that before plastering herself to him on the dance floor last night.

Evil Alice and the Borzoi by DK Coutant

 Wild Women Authors focus on Evil Alice and the Borzoi, a Cleo Cooper Mystery, written by DK Coutant, and released by the Wild Rose Press.

About the Book:  The paradise of Hawaii’s Big Island is shaken after the body of a young woman is dragged onto a university research vessel during a class outing in Hilo Bay. Psychology professor, Cleo Cooper, is shaken when she finds her favorite student is on the hook for the murder. Danger lurks on land and sea as Cleo and her friends search for the true killer. In between paddling, swimming, and arguing with her boyfriend, Cleo discovers all is not what it seems on the Big Island.

Cleo needs to unravel the truth before she becomes the next victim.

 An Excerpt:

I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Almost as if he could feel my scrutiny, he turned his head and looked directly at me. My pulse quickened, and I froze—an impala trapped in the gaze of a predator. I couldn’t look away. A barely perceptible smile appeared on his face. He knew the effect he was having on me. Embarrassment gave me the strength to jerk my eyes down to my feet.

What the hell was wrong with me? Maybe low blood sugar? I didn’t eat much breakfast.

Christmas Rekindled by Sadira Stone

Wild Women Authors is pleased to offer the latest in our Books In A Series with Sadira Stone’s Bangers Tavern Box Set.

Come to Bangers Tavern for super-steamy rom coms featuring chosen family, diverse characters, creative cocktails, and the best tater tots in Tacoma, Washington.

Four full-length novels and one novella each deliver a satisfying HEA and an unforgettable holiday bash in the neighborhood bar that feels like home. One night in Bangers, and you’ll want to return again and again!

Today’s offering is Christmas Rekindled: When two Scrooges collide under the mistletoe, their kiss blazes too hot to handle.

About the Book:

     Bangers Tavern bartender River hates Christmas almost as much as he hates the sexy, snarky server who squashed his ego. So guess who sashays into his bar? Home for the holidays with her estranged dad, Charlie finds sweet relief in her old job at Bangers—until she locks horns with the hunky, hostile bartender.

     But after greedy developers threaten their beloved bar, Charlie and River must set aside their mutual malice, or Bangers is doomed!

 An Excerpt:

Her low, throaty chuckle made him want to kiss her again. Though he pretty much wanted to kiss her anytime she was within range.

She laid her hand palm-up on the center console. “The thing is, I’m not looking for a relationship.”

Remembering a bit of Dawn’s wisdom, he nestled his hand into hers. “You never find a relationship when you’re looking for one.”

Her gaze softened, open and vulnerable. “Are you looking?”

Warning sirens blared inside his head. This was a question to answer very carefully. “If you’d asked me a month ago, I’d say, ‘No way.’ But then, I kissed this girl under the mistletoe, and…”

She closed her eyes, lifted his hand, and pressed it to her sternum. Beneath his palm, her heart thudded fast. His pulse sped to match hers. He held his breath.

“I like you, River.” Her whisper matched the brush of snowflakes against the windows.

“I like you too.”

She inhaled deeply, then met his gaze. “Enough to be my friend?”

He nodded, mesmerized.

“Because my life is a mess right now, and I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing.”

Her coarse language stirred up a heady swirl of laughter, sympathy, and arousal. He scooted as near as the center console allowed and placed his lips close to her ear. “I’ll tell you a secret. Me neither.”

Fire flickered in her eyes’ inky depths. Her lips parted. A golden thread wound around his heart and tugged him toward her. His thumb stroked the delicate line of her jaw as he closed the distance.

The Wrath of Monsters by Dan Rice

 Can Allison and her friends save the world without becoming monsters?

Today, Wild Women Authors focus on The Wrath of Monsters, the latest in the Allison Lee Chronicles, written by Dan Rice and recently released by the Wild Rose Press.

A bit about the book: Allison hoped her life would be free of torment after escaping the faeries. No sooner than Allison and her friends return home, the government imprisons Bria and Haji on a military base where scientists experiment on them. Allison’s plan to rescue them backfires when she reveals Bria’s location to the faeries, who mount a raid to capture the faery child. With Bria’s blood, they can create more enthralled super magicians to wage war against humanity.

     The attack on the military base is just the beginning. When an electromagnetic pulse knocks out the power for the west coast of the United States, it is clear more powerful foes than the faeries are invading Earth.

The Birthright of Ezekiel Wilson

 Today, Wild Women Authors focus on The Birthright of Ezekial Wilson, a Western historical romance, written by Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy and released by World Castle Publishing, LLC.

About the Book: At twenty-one, Ezekiel Wilson is a man, grown up after hightailing it to Texas at the age of fifteen. He’s a valuable ranch hand, is prone to fisticuffs and brawling, although he doesn’t drink hard liquor. He has a fondness for saloon girls—until he meets a feisty Irish girl, Katie O’Neill, the sister of a cowboy he hires during a cattle drive. Katie is a healer, and although she lives with her aunt, who keeps a boarding house in Laredo, she soon comes to the ranch.

Before Zeke is able to properly court her, he suffers serious injuries and must be nursed back to health. Youngest of the five Wilson brothers, Ezekiel longs to become a family man, although he misses his mother and brother back in Kentucky. When the Wilsons become owners of the Double Deuce Ranch, Zeke realizes his family and the love they share are his birthright. With Katie at his side, he decides he can face anything.

An Excerpt:  

          The rain soaked him before he'd gone a few feet, and he struggled to see through the downpour. He could hear the heavy hooves pounding the ground and turned toward the sound. Once they caught up to part of the herd, Deke sent them in four directions to circle the animals. They rode hard and fast, firing pistols and shouting to get the frenzied animals turned back. North Star, who often had led the herd on the trail, was among those running. Ezekiel headed to locate him. If he could turn him around, then North Star might well lead at least some of the herd back to the ranch.

          They had to get them before they plunged into any gullies or some of the valuable animals would die. It was dangerous work in the storm. Lighting had already spooked the longhorns, and the thunder kept them agitated. Heavy rain had turned the ground into slippery mud, and it was too easy for a horse to lose footing. It would have been hard work if Ezekiel had been at full strength but recovering from his injuries, it was a tough battle. Cowboys often died chasing rampaging beasts, and he knew it well. Their chances would have been far better if Boone and the rest had been on hand to assist, but they weren't.

A bit about our focus author:  From an early age, Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy scribbled stories, inspired by the books she read, the family tales she heard, and even the conversations she overheard at the beauty shop where her grandmother had a weekly standing appointment. She was the little girl who sat at the feet of the elders and listened.

     As an author, she has published more than sixty novels and novellas written as both Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy and as Patrice Wayne for historical fiction. She is also the author of a new Faery Folk series from Evernight Publishing writing as Liathán O'Murchadha. Her books are found in many places, online and in brick-and-mortar stores including some in both Ireland and Australia.  Her current publishers include The Wild Rose Press, World Castle Publishing, Evernight Publishing, and Champagne Books.

     She spent her early career in broadcast radio, interviewing everyone from politicians to major league baseball players and writing ad copy.  In those radio years she began to write short stories and articles, some of which found publication. In 1994 she married Roy Murphy and they had three children, all now grown-up. Lee Ann spent years in the newspaper field as both a journalist and editor and was widowed in 2019.

     She teaches 7^th and 8^th graders each Sunday at church.

     In late 2020, she hung up her editor’s hat to return to writing fiction. A native of St. Joseph, Missouri, she lives and works in the rugged, mysterious, and beautiful Missouri Ozarks.
