From Dark Succession by Teresa D’Amario. Meeting his mate hadn’t exactly been on today’s agenda. He wasn’t sure how to proceed. Just like their wolf cousins, shewolves chose their mates, despite the rare paring of True Mates. And like the wolves, they usually chose the strongest in a pack. But it wasn’t always the case. […]
From Midnight Awakening by Lara Adrian. “You say you don’t play games, but you’re a master at it, Tegan. In fact, I think you’ve been playing at them for so long you can’t remember how to be real anymore.” He was hardly aware of this own movements as he whirled back on her with a […]
From Wicked Enchantment by Anya Bast. He couldn’t taste her on his tongue anymore and he missed her flavor, so hot and sweet. It was easily addictive. His fingers curled as he fought the desire to stroke that small, pouting bud, and he wondered how hot and bothered he could make her in her sleep. […]
From Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews. Thirty minutes later we screeched to a halt before my apartment building. I jumped out into the snow, Slayer in hand. Saiman lunged into the driver’s seat. The wheels spun, spraying snowflakes. I jumped back. The car reversed, rolling over the spot where my feet were half a second […]
From Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh. She made an annoyed sound and sat up on her knees. “Why are you talking?” He folded his arms behind his head, delighted by the sight of her lush breasts displayed so beautifully for him. He liked this dream. Even the panther was pleased. “Don’t you want me […]
From Dream Chaser by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Xypher jerked her toward Jesse. “Both of you stay back.” Simone wasn’t about to argue given the size of the creature headed toward them and the fact that his skin appeared to be boiling and smoking. He was dressed in a flowing black cape that obscured everything but those […]
From “A Christmas Kiss” in the anthology Hot for the Holidays by Lora Leigh. He breathed in slowly, deeply. “You’re my mate, Jessica. We both know what that means. I’ve tried to stay away from you. I’ve tried to wait until the time was right to court you, to give you a chance to accept […]

From The Brass Bed by Jennifer Stevenson. She stood in the staff room, pointer in hand. Clay posed naked before the whiteboard while she pointed at the crinkly laugh-at-you eyes, the smug pouty mouth, the shaggy blond bangs that screamed I don’t have a job. He didn’t get it. He smirked and made Mr. Buff […]
From Lover Mine by J. R. Ward. Reaching out, he picked up one of the pillows and held it gently. Bringing it to his nose, he inhaled… and caught a stronger version of what he dreamed of every night: Xhex’s scent. His knees weakened and he went down like a stone through still water, collapsing […]
From Riding the Storm by Sydney Croft. He had used his second sight briefly to study Rich, the way his black hair was shorter than Dev normally liked, but still long enough for him to twist in his fingers, the way his eyes were more light brown that chocolate… the way he was never going […]
From Succubi Like It Hot by Jill Myles. My breath hitched in my throat. “When will I see you again?” “I don’t know.” He touched my cheek, then leaned in to give me a kiss. “I’d say that I could sneak away to see you, except that the queen will be having me watched, and […]
From Dance With the Devil by Sherrilyn Kenyon. His life had been so unfair. She trailed her hand up his muscular arm, to bury it in his hair so that she could stroke his scalp. “Make love to me, Zarek. I can’t take away your past, but I can hold you now. I want to […]
This is one of my favorite scenes from any book… Mercy and Riley are an amazing pair! Sunday’s Snippets #3 From Branded by Fire by Nalini Singh. That was when the door opened. “Riley?” Of course she’d know he was there–she was a sentinel. And in some part of his soul, he’d counted on that. […]
From Coyote’s Mate by Lora Leigh. Anya shook her head. It hadn’t been pain. It hadn’t hurt, not physically. Emotionally. The warmth she needed, the feel of him that she ached for physically, couldn’t overshadow the pain she felt inside. “I’m fine,” she said again. “Please excuse me, Del-Ray. I just need to shower. Maybe […]
