Welcome my lovely literal addicts! LITERAL ADDICTION is very happy to be today's stop on Rebecca Zanetti's Twisted tour! Rebecca wrote her first story when she was six – a romance between a princess and neighboring prince. The princess fell out of her castle and the prince rescued her. A happily ever after was had by all. This theme of romance has been carried through Rebecca’s works until present time. While today’s heroine may have a medical degree, black belt in Karate and her own 401K, she’s still after that happy ending. And today’s prince may have fangs and wear a black hat, but hey, a modern princess likes a guy who bites. Rebecca attended Pepperdine University, earning a bachelor’s degree in Journalism with a Political Science emphasis. While there she worked as the Editor-in-Chief of The Graphic newspaper, a member of the Pi Phi Sorority and an intern for President Reagan, who still gave 3-5 speeches a week, even though he was no longer president. After college, Rebecca worked as an art curator and a Senate aide before heading to law school, where she received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Idaho. She married Tony Zanetti in the middle of her second year of law school and became pregnant with their first child during the third year. She graduated law school, gave birth three weeks later, and took the Bar Exam three weeks after that. All she remembers about the bar exam is that it was so quiet in the testing room, she thought about taking a quick nap. But she continued on, passed the bar and became a lawyer. She worked for a large firm, then a small firm, then the county while also teaching legal classes at her local community college. Now she writes about vampires. Growing up amid the glorious backdrops and winter wonderlands of the Pacific Northwest has given Rebecca fantastic scenery and adventures to weave into her stories. She resides there with her husband, children and extended family who inspire her every day. Rebecca has completed several manuscripts, winning awards throughout the writing industry for her work. She is currently working on the Dark Protector’s Series published by Kensington Brava. Connect with Rebecca online at her Website, on Facebook, on Twitter, and at Goodreads. Rebecca is the creator of the awesome DARK PROTECTOR, MAVERICK MONTANA and SINS BROTHERS series and I highly suggest that you check out all of Rebecca's books, but for today, I'm here to promote and celebrate the upcoming releases of the DARK PROTECTORS series, Twisted, which is coming June 20, 2013, and Shadowed which is scheduled for 10/3/13! For new readers, here's everything you need to know about the DARK PROTECTORS series...
The Kayrs family leads not only the vampire nation, but also the Realm, which is a coalition of vampires, shifters, and witches. Years ago, an evil vampire race called the Kurjans declared war on the Realm by creating a deadly virus that infects vampire mates. The virus attacks chromosomal pairs and takes mates from immortal to human, and maybe down to death. No cure for the virus has been found for mates, and the vampires, who are male only, know that time is running short. In addition, the demons declared war on the Realm, going so far as to kidnap the youngest Kayrs brother and torture him for five years. He has been rescued, damaged but still alive. The eldest Kayrs, the king, is out for revenge, no matter the cost. The prophets of all the races predicted the coming of a young psychic named Janie who is destined to change the world. How, nobody knows. The vampires found her as a young girl, and one of their leaders adopted her and raised her with love and determination. In the final four stories of this series arc, Janie is an adult, and it’s time for that change—if she lives long enough. Fated DARK PROTECTORS Book #1 Buy from Amazon | | B&N | Kobo Marry Me Cara Paulson does not give up easily. A scientist and a single mother, she’s used to fighting for whatever she wants, keeping a cool head, and doing whatever it takes to protect her daughter Janie. But “whatever it takes” has never before included a shotgun wedding to a dangerous looking stranger with an attitude problem… Or Else Sure, the mysterious Talen says he’s there to protect Cara and Janie. He also says that he’s a three-hundred-year-old vampire. Of course, the way he touches her, Cara might actually believe he’s had that long to practice… Claimed DARK PROTECTORS Book #2 A DARING RESCUE Emma Paulsen is a geneticist driven by science. But she’s also a psychic, so when a dark, good-hearted vampire frees her from the clutches of the evil Kurjans, she realizes he must be the man who’s been haunting her dreams. But with a virus threatening vampire mates, Emma may discover a whole new meaning of “lovesick”… A DEADLY DECISION As King of the Realm, Dage Kayrs has learned to practice diplomacy. Still, it’s taken three hundred years to find his mate, so he’ll stop at nothing to protect her–even if it means turning his back on his own kind… Tempted DARK PROTECTORS Book #2.5 CONSTANT DANGER On the run from a mental institution and her vindictive half-brother, it’s safe to say that Sarah Pringle’s happy life as a schoolteacher is on hold. Too bad that as far as self-defense goes, “run and hide” is the best she’s got. And with the monsters that started her escape hot on her heels, that’s not going to cut it for long… INSTANT LUST That is, unless Sarah has a bigger, badder, hotter monster on her side. Max Petrovsky is right at the top of the list of alpha male ass-kickers. And he knows exactly what Sarah’s up against. Good thing, because the minute he sees her something primal kicks in, turning everyday attraction into red-hot desire. As long as they’re cooperating, why not mix some pleasure with business? Of course, Max should probably tell Sarah he’s a vampire himself… Hunted DARK PROTECTORS Book #3 Ready Or Not Moira Dunne is a witch—the quantum physics kind. Time and space are her playthings. Which might explain why her one-night stand from a hundred years ago has turned up to “claim” her—and request her family’s assistance with the war he’s brewing. But the more she learns about Connlan Kayrs, the more she comes to think this is normal behavior for him… There’s Nowhere To Hide When Conn and Moira tumbled on the moonlit grass, Conn hadn’t meant to mark her as his mate for all time. She was only twenty! But it wasn’t easy to wait for her. It was even harder to forget her. So when he finally returns for his wicked-hot witch, he’s ready to let the sparks flying. Even if he burns up in flames… Consumed DARK PROTECTORS Book #4 Sometimes You Mate For Life Katie Smith is the best of her class, part of an elite hunting force
trained to eliminate werewolves from the hills of Western Virginia. She's good
at it because she has the kind of focus and drive that won't back down no
matter how steep the odds. Call it southern sass. Whatever it is, there's no
denying her willingness to risk everything for the only man she's ever cared
about--a man on the verge of losing his very humanity. . .
Sometimes You Mate To Stay Alive
For the past ten years Jordan Pride has dedicated his life to protecting
his people from a deadly shifter virus. But in a rare moment of distraction,
Jordan's guard drops just long enough for his fate to take an irreversible
twist. Unless the woman he loves surrenders everything to him, again and again,
under a full moon rising. . . Provoked DARK PROTECTORS Book #5 A TIME FOR WAR…
Twisted DARK PROTECTORS Book #5.5 COMING 6/20/13! Pre-Order from Amazon | B&N | Kobo Maggie is a
wolf shifter who was captured and experimented on by the Kurjans. Now that a
cure has finally been found for shifters (although not for vampire mates or
witches), she can concentrate on creating a new life for herself and finally
accepting that her memories are gone forever. Most memories, that is. Sometimes
in the hazy world between dreams and dawn, she hears a Scottish voice, dark and
deep, that sounds suspiciously like wolf-shifter Terrent Vilks. A man she
happened to anger by kidnapping a few years back. Hey, it was for a good cause. Shadowed DARK PROTECTORS Book #6 COMING 10/3/13! Pre-Order from Amazon | B&N | Kobo (Coming Soon) Jase Kayrs
was the fun brother. The warm, charming, easy-going brother of the vampire
leaders. Until he was taken and tortured by demons with their evil mind tricks
for nearly five years. Upon his return, he’s dark, violent, and not the man
they all thought they knew. Not the man he once was. He’s haunted that the only
reason the demons would have let him live was to use him as a weapon against
his family—but he can’t figure out when or how he’ll explode. Plus, once again
the demons are after Jase with a vengeance…or rather, a female demon he
rejected is out to destroy him. Then the king asks Jase for a favor…a big one. To mate with one of their allies
in order to save her. She’s everything that’s good and light in the world…while
he’s at home with darkness. Yet he agrees…knowing mating may be the only chance
to save them both. Now that you are all well acquainted with the DARK PROTECTORS series, let's give you a chance to win something cool...
