Thanks so much to everyone who left suggestions for the blurb fests! I realized too late I should have specified the blurb fests are by genre rather than theme, though I loved your ideas.
I'm taking the easy way out and making this one an open weekend. Any and all genres are welcome! But please remember, TBR is not rated, so only post blurbs suitable for general audiences.
It's easy to participate! In the comments section, post:
- book title
- author name
- book blurb
- buy link
One blurb per author, please. Post away!

- book blurb:
A shot of Threesome Sweetness stirs up emotions….
Elizabeth, a part-time manager of Bell’s Irish Pub and business student, is newly hitched. Her marriage could use a serious shake up, but she finds shopping a more therapeutic use of her time.
If Todd’s wife is happy, he’s happy. But it seems nothing is putting a sweet smile on her face these days, not even her friends at Bell’s. So he contacts 1NightStand and arranges the one thing he knows she doesn’t necessarily want but definitely needs for her thirtieth birthday; a threesome.
Enter cowboy Cade, who’s in London, England hoping to make a restaurant franchise deal. After weeks of doors slamming shut, he uses the 1Night Stand agency in hopes of sprinkling some fun over his overseas business trip and perhaps to learn what he’s missing out on by being relationship shy.
A harmless night of intimacy is planned.
Is a dash of Threesome Sweetness the remedy each is looking for, or will the date leave a bitter aftertaste each will regret for the rest of their lives?

Beneath the Mountain, The Futhark Chronicles #3 by Susan Gourley
ReplyDeleteIn this third novel of The Futhark Chronicles, the city of Sulbreth struggles to rebuild in the fragile peace following the battle to drive the demons from the town. While the remaining Keepers search for a permanent solution to rid the world of hellish creatures, they discover the hordes are only the servants of a god-like entity from ancient history.

Cage picks up the trail of what he believes is a demon lord, but his instincts warn him that time is not on his side. The enemy stays one step ahead of his efforts, cutting a wide arc of destruction as it seeks the magical help it needs to regain its place in the world.
Hanging over Keeper Sabelline Shelton's head is the elven plan to close off the mountain and forever contain the demons beneath it. A plan that will likely mean her death and the end of any one with her.
The very land of Futhark groans and struggles in a battle with the magical forces roiling beneath its surface. Sabelline and Cage face a desperate choice. Will their choice save Futhark or destroy it?

ON PROMISED LAND is set in the 1840s at the end of the Second Seminole War. It details the great American dream of all pioneers who settled the western lands. But these are black pioneers. Black-Seminole pioneers: Tru, free-born in the Everglades and recently orphaned; his two younger siblings, Toby and Kate and his teenage Calusa wife, Tall Deer.
These stalwart, industrious folk strive and survive in what we think of as the "American Way" even when they aren't recognized as Americans-—or Seminoles-—or free. Yet they persist.
