Cover Reveal for Blind Temptation and Wednesday Reads

Here it is, the cover to Blind Temptation!



Dreading the prospect of losing her position on the Vampire Committee, Victoria is forced to integrate with the mortal population. She hasn’t stepped outside since her husband died nearly 40 years ago and the thought of being treated like the 17-year-old she resembles frustrates her. But when she discovers that Ben, her hot & sexy driver’s ed teacher, is blind, she gives into temptation and flirts. She never expects to fall in love.

Ben knows he shouldn’t get involved with Victoria—she’s his student. But something compels him toward her. She makes him feel young, alive, and more importantly, whole.

Victoria would love nothing better than to have Ben as a mate, but fears he wouldn’t want to be blind forever. As she struggles to keep her identity hidden from him, an old acquaintance of Victoria’s turns up and is willing to do anything to win her love, including disposing of her boyfriend.

When I set out to have the cover made, I went to Maria Zannini because I really liked a lot of her covers. Plus, she’d done a beautiful job with my postcards.

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’m not the best at conveying what I want, since I usually don’t know what I want. But she came through wonderfully and I couldn’t be more pleased. 

Now I just have to figure out when to release the book. Or whether or not I do a pre-order. I don’t want to risk putting too much pressure on myself by setting a date and then not meeting it.

I’m pathetic, aren’t I? J

Onto what I read last week. Yes, I finished reading a book. Finally! Really got a good start on my goal of 90 books, huh? Haha! Yeah, I’ll REALLY be surprised if I reach that number by the end of the year. Anyway, here’s what I read:

Jan 5: “The Discarded” by Brett Battles, the 8th book in the Jonathan Quinn series, a suspense/thriller. Blurb on back of book: He thought his final assignment would be simple. Transport a package from Japan to Amsterdam. But for Orlando’s mentor, Abraham, the job was not at all like he expected and ended up haunting him. Seven years later, Quinn and Orlando know something is up when Abraham asks for a favor. At his age, he should be sitting on a beach, enjoying his retirement, not working. After he tells them of his search for the last package he ever delivered, they help him unravel the truth, but soon realize they can’t simply look for answers. They must also protect the package, no matter the cost. I still love this series. And I especially love the end! If not for work (and other stuff), I would have read this book in two days, for sure.

So… Did you get snow yesterday? We did. And now the arctic air returns. Brrr… Grrr…

Happy Reading!
