And now for another installment of...drumroll please...Saturday Spankings! My excerpt is from my paranormal shifter book, Hair of the Dog. I took some liberties with the 7-8 sentences allowed because I had some shorties.
.
Excerpt:
The word "stop" stuck in his throat, right behind "don’t" and "no". When the words bubbled from his mouth, they spilled out in a jumble. "No. Don’t. Stop," he said between heaving breaths.
Blurb:
When Grant, mayor of Mystic Springs, asks Ivy to run the
Mystic Springs resort, she’s so thrilled, she accepts the job without so much
as visiting the town first. Then she arrives and meets Grant—and her goals
change. She got her dream job, and now she wants Grant…preferably at her mercy
in the bedroom.
Grant’s inner animal is desperate to take Ivy. And he’s not
joking about the “animal” part—Grant and most of the Mystic Springs residents
are shifters. The spring is more than a landmark, it’s the touchstone that
grounds their powers and keeps them on the human side of the shifter spectrum.
But the spring is running dry…
The townspeople are convinced Ivy is the woman who was
prophesied to rejuvenate the spring. Local legend is rife with rumors of sex rites
that might help, and Grant’s only too happy to give them a go. He just has to
convince Ivy that he’s the man—er, wolf?—for her.
I'm excited to announce that Hair of the Dog is a National Excellence in Romance Fiction Awards finalist. Wish me luck!

Okay, I will admit, werewolves aren't my favorite creatures, but this sounds REALLY good. Especially the part about the whole town being shifters. Adding it to my TBR list:)
ReplyDeleteIt's not your typical werewolf story.
DeleteAs corny as it probably sounds, this made me think of the song "Stop! In the name of love". Congratulations on your book's success! I hope more will follow.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how one little snippet can trigger memories. But that would be weird if Grant broke out into song like they do on Glee.
DeleteI love shapeshifters, and the premise of your book sounds like something I would really enjoy. Like Thianna, I'm adding it to me TBR list right now. Thanks for sharing, Kelli.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun series. I'm trying to write a second story set in Mystic Springs. Trying hard. I've got a short attention span.
DeleteWowsa. Congrats on the nomination, and LOOK at that cover! Sexy.
ReplyDeleteRight! I had to have the art dept at EC put more fog on her butt before Romantic Times would let me place an ad. Too nekked they said.
DeleteThis would not be good time to shift into werewolf! Hope he can fight the feeling.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear that made me think of the song I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore. I think I have a musical on my hands.
DeleteI've only read one shape shifter story, but I think I'll be checking this one out too:)Hot!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary.
DeleteWow, Kelli! Congratulations on the NERFA finalist status; will cross my fingers for you, for sure. And thanks for stopping by and saying hello!
ReplyDeleteLet's do it again next week!
DeleteCongrats and good luck! Love the name. Gives me an idea. (Orders bloody mary from waiter)
ReplyDeleteBottoms up...
DeleteCara’s right. This would NOT be a good time to shift. Great snippet Kelli :)
