Stars: 2![BriansMateLG](http://risingup.phoenix-writing.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/BriansMateLG-200x300.jpg)
From the book jacket:
Brian is the alpha of the least impressive pack of wolves at the whole Moon Ceremony. When a human is discovered uninvited in their midst, he bonds with the man to save his life.
Luke doesn’t know about all this wolf stuff, but he’s starting to develop feelings for the gentle man who rescued him. Both Brian and Luke expect to quietly dissolve the bond later. But feelings intervene, and some bonds are not so easy to cast aside.
Building a life together as alphas will take love and hard work—especially when new wolves keep inviting themselves into their lives. Read more... (240 words, 2 images, estimated 58 secs reading time)

So I’ve decided to go for another must visit author websites, and with February well underway, what a great time!
1. Lynn Hagen
Lynn writes the amazing, out of this world series Brac Pack, and it’s associated books. You cannot read just one, I’ve had to read all of them! With the money I spend on these books I imagine her kids will be able to afford a bachelor’s degree right through their PhD’s, LOL. But seriously, give her a try.

It’s finally January. And at least where I am in Canada, it’s also bitter cold. Or was,and will likely be again. That’s the way of winter, isn’t? So while you’re sipping your hot chocolate, I have a few websites you should visit!
1. Erin M. Leaf
Erin get’s top spot, because she links to Kobo on her website. Anyone who reads my blog and/or follows me on Twitter knows I am a huge Kobo fan, and I am loyal to any author who links to them. It also helps that Erin is a really great author, with a unique style, and is so creative, she could write this blog article a lot better than I can. Alas, I shall stumble through. Read more...

Today I am doing a partial review of Sacred Fate by Eresse.![sacredfate](http://risingup.phoenix-writing.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/sacredfate-200x300.jpg)
Stars: 1
Book jacket:
In the dual-gendered realm of Ylandre, the great divide between the high-born True Bloods and the lower-ranked Half Bloods is deemed impassable by most. Rohyr Essendri dared to cross it when he took young Lassen Idana from his provincial town and made him his paramour. Lassen perforce learned how to navigate the intricate byways of life at court. What he never expected, however, was to fall in love with Rohyr, a most inadvisable and impractical thing to do when one’s lover is sovereign ruler of the land. But anything worth having is worth fighting for, both figuratively and, as Lassen discovers, literally speaking. Read more... (220 words, 1 image, estimated 53 secs reading time)
