Revenge is a dish best served...with wine...and a super sexy mafia romance read. Thank goodness for this week's pairing of the absolutely gorgeous Francis Coppola Diamond Collection's Pavilion Chardonnay and the fabulous author Samantha Lee's novel, Resist Me from her Mine Series. All I can say for this stellar combo is that they're both smokin' hot so pick up your copy of Resist Me and pour yourself a glass of Pavillion then get ready to be swept up into the intrigue of the Carbonaro Family. Believe me, it's an offer you can't refuse :)

Be sure to tune in to my social media sites for more Wine Wednesday fun and follow Samantha Lee too as she rolls out Book 2 in the Mine Series this summer! As always, happy reading.

“That’s the funny thing about will…sometimes your own bumps up against that of another’s.”  ~Xieran Amphere, Crystal Tide
 
 
Devastated by the loss of both parents and running scared after a break-in at her home, Kay Laurens jumps on the first plane out of Denver heading south to Miami. There she meets up with, of all people, a love psychic for answers. On the tip of the Bermuda Triangle, she is swept up into the dark world of an ancient cult and sent on the ride of her life. Then her incense induced visions come to life in the form of an inter-world travelling, suspicious and sinfully hot immortal agent for Mt. Olympus.
 
Xieran has no memory of who he was before being stolen by Hermes. The Greek god uses him to enter Earth’s sphere under the guise of an affluent art dealer in search of an elusive artifact which, if he can find, will win him his freedom. When his latest mission is brought up short by a female grad student breaking into his complex travel system, he can’t help but be suspicious. It makes no difference that he finds her more and more irresistible with each encounter. With demon outbreaks, nefarious characters working in the Underworld and a power struggle of epic proportions going on, no one can be trusted.
 
As they are thrown into the Tides together, Kay and Xieran set out on a whirlwind adventure, racing through the streets of Rome, Miami and even Western Australia to chase down the answers that will win them their freedom from the overbearing gods. Will they come to terms with destiny and conquer the evil taking over the Tides, or will they succumb to the passion growing between them?

What could be more summer than a sexy, seafaring, pirate romance? Not much that I can think of and this pairing is sure to quench the thirst of any scurvy knave or romance lover around. Author Raelle Logan's super hot historical romance Blackheart pairs perfectly with a glass of Antidote California White Wine. This has got to be one of my favorite bottles with its skulls and crossbones that match right up with Logan's sizzling swashbuckler romance! Give both a try this Wine Wednesday and, as always, happy reading!
(sidenote: the back label on Antidote has the cutest dialogue! )

No memory of his past, sentenced to death for a duel gone horrid, Lochlanaire Blackheart is commanded by King William to hunt Siren Rain. She’s the illegitimate daughter of ousted King James II. In capturing his prey, Lochlanaire must retrieve the ruby signet Siren dons. That jewel is the talisman of King James II, which proves Siren’s ancestry. Lochanaire, however, is unaware that at the moment he casts sail aboard his ship, Siren’s been kidnapped by his pirate brother, Zore. Lochlanaire must battle this cutthroat for the princess, spinning Siren into his web of treachery. Afterward, they’re shipwrecked, entwined in a union of inconvenience when Lochlanaire weds Siren under the witchery of gypsies. Lochlanaire soon enlightens Siren of her true father’s identity. She seduces her captor, desperate to conceive Lochlanaire’s child. She believes he cannot surrender her to die at King William’s hangman’s noose if their blood unites. When Lochlanaire’s stalked by a ghoul slaughtering the pirates aboard his ship, he never realizes that this fiend possesses a wicked secret. Siren must unravel all the Blackheart brothers’ secluded evils and save Lochlanaire, for he threads together a travesty by which to sacrifice himself to King William, all while opposing the two seething brothers who seek his demise for the tragedies reaped in Lochlanaire’s shattered past. If Lochlanaire fails to evade the death shroud shadowing his footfalls, Siren will lose the breath-wrenching privateer who is her assassin hunter, the possessor of her lusty soul, and her only love. ​

Happy Wine Wednesday everybody! This week's pairing is brought to you by Outer Sounds Savignon Blanc and Paranormal Romance author Miranda Grant's Elemental Claim. The beautiful water scape on the Outer Sounds bottle fits perfectly with Elemental Claim's hero, Rogan's abilities as an immortal elementalist with water powers. I read this book recently and loved it! It's a really terrific series starter for Grant's War of the Myth books. If you love mythology romances filled with every type of fantasy being you can think of then you'll definitely enjoy Elemental Claim. ​To round out the whole reading experience, don't forget the glass of Outer Sounds Sav and escape into a world of myth, romance and adventure.

Elemental Claim
by Miranda Grant

A fast-paced paranormal romance compared to Gena Showalter's "Lord of the Underworld" series.

The mission always came first…until her.

Rogan’s dedicated his life to protecting the Seven Planes. So when an ancient evil rises, he doesn't hesitate to volunteer his team. But immediately, things start to go wrong. Their intel is leaked to a gang hunting creatures of the Myth. The woman they grab is the wrong twin and worse, she’s protected by the gods. Drawn into an intricate game where one wrong move means the annihilation of the Seven Planes, Rogan can’t allow himself to be distracted by the soft lips of his captive. Especially since her very existence is a crime. Can Rogan keep his heart from messing up the mission or will he put everything on the line to pursue a life he never realized he wanted?

Within a few hours, Emma’s safe, little life crashes down around her. Driven off a bridge and drowned in a world of nightmares, Emma instinctively clings to the man that saves her. But when she wakes chained to a bed and interrogated over facts she doesn’t know, she realizes that her sexy savior might not have her best interests at heart after all. Forced to stay by his side, Emma is dragged into a terrifying reality where her twin sister stars as a mass murderer and Emma herself is wanted for being a descendant – a forbidden child of the gods. With so much at stake, does she dare listen to her heart and trust the very man meant to imprison her?

​Teaser for Crystal Tide, Tides of Atlantis

***
“You can’t keep me locked up,” she said, trying not to squirm.
He finished with his sleeves then dropped his hands to his sides. His stance was so casual it was unnerving. It said that he absolutely could do whatever the hell he wanted. Not answering her, he righted the table by the bed and started to pick up the mess.
“Perhaps, you would like something else,” he said, still talking about the food.
“What I would like is to leave,” she repeated a little louder, “you can’t hide me here forever!”
Faster than she could have imagined, he set down the plate and moved in front of her until he was right up in her face. Kay dropped her head back to look up at him, trying hard not to give any ground. He was like one of those predators you didn’t want to spur into action by running.
“I’m afraid I can Miss Laurens,” his deep voice rumbled. He was so close that she could feel the vibration.
The finality of his words was horrifying. He was right too. Who back home would even realize she was missing? Cindy and Marley maybe…eventually. Anyone else would think she’d just gotten a wild hair and left. Even Esmé didn’t know her well enough to think any different. She hadn't realized how alone she was.
He loomed over her, leaving practically no space between them. His clean spicy scent invaded her nostrils again, making her lightheaded. His eyes were so clear and deep; something in them sparked and she recognized it from her dream. It was desire, just like King Amphere.
“B-but why,” Kay tried again, losing the battle to keep her wits about her, “I promise I’m a nobody – totally inconsequential.
He lowered his head closer, catching her chin on his forefinger.
“I doubt that Miss Laurens,” he pressed his thumb over her lips then rubbed them in a downward motion, “I think, under the right circumstance, you could be very…” his mouth dipped closer to hers, “consequential.”
