Trace's Temptation by @Dawnsullivan #ReleaseBlitz #ParanormalRomance

Welcome to Book Showcase!

Author, Dawn Sullivan's new release, TRACE'S TEMPTATION is on a release blitz.

The book covers are gorgeous. 

Read the blurb, meet Dawn and grab a copy. Don't forget to check out the muscled hero. *wink*



RARE: Rescue and Retrieval Extractions 
-they took on the missions that 
no one else wanted and did not 
stop until the job was done 

Trace has found his mate, but before he can claim her, he must eliminate the threat from his past. Returning to the place where all of his nightmares began, Trace must fight for his life and his future. Jade was stolen when she was a child and was held captive by the General for most of her life. She was rescued by RARE and reunited with the mother she thought she lost so long ago. 

Jade spent the past 20 years hiding her true nature, allowing others to see only a sweet, gentle Omega wolf. After being set free, she is slowly allowing her true self to show. Jade has found her mate, but now must wait for his return. When she finds out Trace is in trouble, she vows to bring him home and nothing or no one will stand in her way. 

RARE must once again do what they do best. Track down Trace and eliminate the evil that threatens them. 

Jade's strength and determination are tested in the process. But her pull to Trace will not let her admit defeat. They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, but will Jade survive if RARE doesn’t make it to Trace in time?

About the Author

I have a wonderful, supportive husband and three beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with all of them which normally involves some baseball, shooting hoops, taking walks, watching movies, and of course reading.

My passion for reading began at a very young age and only grew over time. Whether I was bringing home a book from the library, or sneaking one of my mom's romance novels and reading by the light in the hallway when we were supposed to be sleeping, I always had a book. 

I read several different genres and subgenres, but Paranormal Romance and Romantic Suspense have always been my favorites. I read anything by Katie Reus, Lora Leigh, J.R. Ward and Rebecca Zanetti. 

I have always made up my own stories, and have just recently decided to start sharing them. I hope everyone enjoys reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.

Love Undercover by@NanaPrah #Multicultural #BookTour #Giveaway

The beautiful West African romance author, Nana Prah's sweet multicultural title - Love Undercover is on a book tour and giveaway splash! 

There is a whopping $44 Amazon or Smashwords Gift Card on offer!

Nana is showcasing the lovely cover, captivating excerpt and blurb of Love Undercover. Join the fun by completing the rafflecopter.


Love Undercover by +Nana Prah 

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Women’s Fiction 
(Sweet, Multicultural)

Publisher: Black Opal Books


Blurb

The last thing she expects is to fall in love with a prison guard…

Hotshot
Secret Service Agent, Sarita Cerez is thrown into a medium security prison—for work. Her job is to protect the daughter of the president of South Korea. She never envisioned making friends with illegal immigrants or falling head over heels for one of the guards. Now the clandestine activity, which is integral to protecting her charge, may destroy her only chance at love.

He's never fraternized with the inmates—until he met her…
Matthew Carter always plays by the rules, which includes maintaining a strictly professional relationship with the inmates in his charge. But when Sarita saunters onto the unit, all bets are off. Her status as a deportee with a permanent ticket to Columbia means they
can never be together, but try as he might, this doesn't stop him from risking career for her.
He's a man who values honesty above all else, and she lies for a living. Can two people from such different worlds find any common ground?


As they walked down the first flight of stairs, Sarita’s breath caught when she glanced at him. She missed her footing and would have gone head-over-ass down the steps if he hadn’t grabbed her. The heat emanating from Matt’s body seeped into her. “Thanks. You saved me from a nasty fall.”

“You are so beautiful, Sarita.” His whispered words feathered over her cheek.

She moved forward as his lips came down on hers in a crushing kiss. The impact brought tears to her eyes and a whimper to her throat. He eased the pressure. She took the light pecks as his apology.

She desired his passion over such teasing gentleness. Her hand moved to the back of his head and held him against her mouth, opening for him as his tongue thrust in. She hung onto him for fear of tumbling down the stairs.

Swinging her around, he lifted her onto the railing, wrapping her legs around him. His hardness met the juncture of her thighs. The need to feel more of him suffused her. She rocked her hips and squeezed him closer when he moaned.

The sound of whistling broke through the haze. She eased her feet to the steps and they continued down the stairs as if she hadn’t been about to rip off his shirt.

She held onto the railing so her wobbly legs wouldn’t slide out from under her. She chanced a glance up and saw the camera. How could she have forgotten where they were?

He looked back at the space they’d just vacated and raised an eyebrow. “Blind spot,” he whispered. “Didn’t you know?”





Nana Prah is a multi-published author of contemporary, multicultural romance. Her books are sweet with a touch of spice. When she’s not writing she’s reading, indulging in chocolate, and enjoying life with friends and family.

#Brides From #Africa #HimbaBride #Namibia

On Brides From Africa today, I'm showing off a tribe of special people with ancient traditional clothing. 

The Himba people are a tribe of pastoralists who live in north western Namibia, in the Kuene region formerly known as Kaokoland. The region is a vast stretch of land bordered by Angola to the north and Atlantic Ocean to the west.

 
This Himba's girl's braids are tied back, indicating that she's ready to be married.
Himba woman with an eye-catching elaborate hairstyle
In Himba culture, the bride's hair is decorated in elaborate traditional fashion. And in the photo below, a Himba bride shows off her long dreadlocks, created using a mixture of ground ochre, butter and goat hair. Indian hair extensions or straws are also used.

At the engagement ceremony, the groom's family present live animals  to be killed and offered to the bride's family along with bags of sugar and as a symbol that there will always be an abundance of food.

A Himba woman wearing her bridal finery
On her wedding day, the bride is 'covered up'. Her eyes remain lowered. There's no staring others directly in the eye,  no speaking loudly etc. The bride stays in a little room with her “omutike” or her escort, a girl who will escort her to her new family.

Part of the wedding rituals includes; the payment of 40 cattles (bride price) to the bride’s family. Cowrie shells are presented, representing fertility and prosperity.


A Himba woman wearing her bridal finery
The couple jump over the Broom – a handmade beautifully decorated broom that signifies the start of a couple making a home together.

At the ceremony, a chunky, sour and pretty foul brewed beer is specially made and served.
