I love watching the Olympics! Whether it’s winter or summer, it’s always appointment television for me. One of the great things about the Summer Olympics is the number of events. From swimming, gymnastics, diving, track and field, and pretty much the entire Olympic roster, there’s usually something exciting to watch.  And the coverage is practically 24/7 because of the time difference with Beijing.  Even better, it’s only the end of week one!

Are you watching the Summer Olympics, and if so, what are your favorite events?  

I was so happy last night when they announced that Joshua Allen was the winner of this season’s So You Think You Can Dance! He’s an amazing dancer and was my favorite right from the get go!

It’s a long weekend here in Canada, which means I plan to do a lot of reading and relaxing.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

The Darkest Pleasure is book three in Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series. Reyes and Danika share a scorchingly passionate bond in this stellar paranormal romance.  

Here’s the back cover blurb:

HE CAN BEAR ANY PAIN BUT THE
THOUGHT OF LOSING HER…

Reyes is a man possessed. Bound by the demon of pain, he is forbidden to know pleasure. Yet he craves a mortal woman, Danika Ford, more than breath and will do anything to claim her–even defy the gods.

Danika is on the run. For months she’s eluded the Lords of the Underworld, immortal warriors who won’t rest until she and her family have been destroyed. But her dreams are haunted by Reyes, the warrior whose searing touch she can’t forget. Yet a future together could mean death to all they both hold dear….

The Darkest Kiss, book two in Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series, is beyond entertaining. This fast paced adventure is a heady combination of humor, on the edge of your seat drama, and startling poignancy. The connection between Lucien and Anya is powerful and incendiary. When I blogged about The Darkest Night, book one in this series, I said that future books about the other Lords of the Underworld promised to be just as mesmerizing. After reading The Darkest Kiss, I can say that all of my expectations were exceeded…and then some. I am SO LOVING  this series!          

Here’s the back cover blurb:

SHE HAS TEMPTED MANY MEN…
BUT NEVER FOUND HER EQUAL.
UNTIL NOW.

Though she has lived for centuries, Anya, goddess of anarchy, has never known pleasure. Until Lucien, the incarnation of death–a warrior eternally doomed to take souls to the hereafter. He draws her like no other. And Anya will risk anything to have him.

But when the merciless Lord of the Underworld is ordered by the gods to claim Anya herself, their uncontrollable attraction becomes an anguished pursuit. Now they must defeat the unconquerable forces that control them, before their thirst for one another demands a sacrifice of love beyond imagining….
