How much monster spice is too much?

Today is release day for Stolen Hours, six steamy stories from Pine Ridge. Six shorts, where spice is the focus for 4/6, and the spicy scenes are delivered for every single story. Because I’m a nerd, I did some rough calculations and came up with this answer: This book is 80% spice.

Is that too much? Ordinarily, I would say yes, I prefer a 50-50 split, but if you’re hunting for something to keep on the shelf for when THAT MOOD strikes? Stolen Hours is a solid choice, a buffet of spice, and always with happily ever afters. Plus, you get to see some of your old favorite characters, like Toby and Molly.

You get to see A LOT of them. (Where’s that art from? Oh, keep reading! It’s at the VERY bottom.)

If you are looking for something with grumpy-sunshine rom-com vibes (and yes, there will be spice, there, too) you need to read the little snippet below from The Troll’s Summer Flame.

If you need some spice, and some comedy, and swoony monster romances with Bigfoot, werewolves, demons, vampires, and more, I insist you grab the Hot Ghouls Read anthology. Yes, I used the word insist because it comes out in like two weeks but it will only exist for 90 days, just for Spooky Season. Like an autumn leaf (or those bags of Reese’s pumpkins) you gotta move fast to grab it before it’s gone!

So, to recap, we’ve got the HOT hot summer, a sneaky spicy Spooky Season anthology, and… oh yeah. The holiday season prep starts now… If you’re an author who is going to write a holiday romance where you pick the character!Please join the free tier of my Patreon to vote for this year’s Holiday Heart Throb.

Red Alert (AKA Tentacle Alert): The Sexy Summertime Monster Box MUST be ordered by July 20th! (TWO DAYS!) Please make sure you grab it if you want it!
