Today I am featuring Marie Dry
Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I am South African and I love to travel and have lived in Zambia, Morocco and Spain for four years in each country. I also spent shorter stints in various countries. I have tead and written romance ever since I was a little girl.

What do you enjoy about being an author?

The challenge of getting the story in my head into a manuscript and losing myself in my story world. Receiving mail from readers to tell me my books made them laugh ir cry is a wonderful gift.

What type of romance stories do you write? And why?

I write paranormal. Even before the category existed I wrote paranormal romances for myself. I live mixing the action and fantasy worlds with the romance as the main focus.

Favorite place in Africa

Its hard to choose one place but I would pick Cape Town followed by Zambia and Morocco.

Why do you think African romance authors and stories set on the continent are important? 

There are wonderful stories here just waiting to be told. They might have a unique African flavour but I believe at their core all stories have a message that transends continents.

Do you think romance stories set in Africa & Africans vital to the publishing industry? If yes/no, why do you say so? 

I believe there is a huge demand for uniquely African stories. There are voices that need to be heard and stories that have to be told. We have unique cultural differences that provide us with a rich canvas. So yes I believe romance set in Africa will play a prominent role in future.


What traditional food do you love, that one can only find in Africa? 


I dont know if they are only available in Africa but I love kieksisters.


Thanks for chatting today Marie!

Northern Sass

By Elianne Adams




Blurb:
After twenty years away from the only place she’s ever called home, Maple Hudson is back. Too bad it’s only for a couple of weeks. With debts piling high, and more responsibilities than she can handle on her own, she’s left with no choice but to sell the land, ending her dream of reopening the family business.

Two long decades. That’s how long it took Jaxon Barnett to accept that Maple, his mate, was gone for good. Too young to be anyone’s mate, she’d been whisked away, and no amount of searching had brought him any closer to finding her.

After an attack leaves the Wassookeag pack devastated, Jaxon resigns himself to attending the Wolfe family’s scenting ceremony to find a suitable mate. That is, until the scent that had haunted him for years sends him racing through the forest, back to the old cabin where fate had played its cruel joke and stolen her from him.

Maple was back, and this time, she wouldn’t get away.

Phoenix and a Dash of Sass
By Jami Brumfield


 


Tessa Martin is on the hunt for a stone with the power to scare victims to death. Her job is to find mystical items and store the dangerous ones away in a vault made to shield the magic from harming innocents. While a noble crusade, it is a job that leaves little time for romance. The last thing she needs is to fall in love, but when she meets Jackson, her world is shaken to the core and her future becomes uncertain.

Phoenix shifter, Jackson Brand is struggling to launch his restaurant and finds himself in dire straits when Tessa walks into his life. The loan for the restaurant is in jeopardy of being recalled and his investor isn’t the kind of man you avoid paying unless you want to lose a leg or a finger. The last thing he needs is a mate he needs to protect from his past, but sometimes fate likes to add a Dash of Sass to the mix.

The treasure hunt will force the couple together, but the magic they make may not be enough to keep them from falling apart. Partnerships will be tested, people will get hurt, lives may even be lost as they are thrown into a mystery that promises to have an explosive ending.

From Scotland with Sassy 
By AK Michaels




Belle is just too sassy for her own good. It’s gotten her into hot water one time too many and she knows she’s treading a thin line with her Alpha. So what does she do when she’s forced to pick up a sexy-as-sin Scotsman and return him to the Pack? Heck, as soon as the Alpha’s mate goes near him, she growls at her! She’s lucky to make it out of there in one piece, and she’s sure it’s the hot Highlander who saved her.

What was supposed to be a pick him up, drop him off, and make her getaway kinda day, turns into a scorching hot encounter that takes her breath away, at the same time as her sanity. Mr. Sex-on-Legs Scotsman has her heart racing every time he glances her way, her Wolf acting like a love-sick pup, his beast calling to hers as only a soul-mate can.

With rogue Wolves in the area, willing to take what they want, and what they want is Belle, can the lovers find each other and seal their bond before it’s too late?

Sassy Vigilante 
By Gracen Miller




Deader thought he had all he ever wanted.

Forensic anthropologist, Nelson “Deader” Montreal, is the bone-whisperer. While he has the success of high profile cases under his belt, his newest investigation is a serial killer dubbed the Redeemer. Unlike other murderers, this one kills some victims and spares others, the random selection stumping law enforcement. When Deader scents his mate on one of the survivors, everything changes. Concealing evidence from the investigation doesn’t set easy with him, but what’s a tiger-shifter to do when the scent of his mate is mysteriously tied to the Redeemer?

Then his mate brought excitement into his life.

Skarlet Weston is a sex-toy entrepreneur moonlighting as a vigilante. Saving the world is easy with magic at her fingertips. There’s just one major hitch in her life… her people want her dead. When she’s attacked and barely escapes with her life, she seeks refuge in Blue Creek with a friend. The city might seem like a sleepy town, but thanks to the town meddler there’s never a dull moment.

Caught between a rock and a hard place…

Deader never expected to find his mate in a foul-mouthed redhead, but she’s everything he could’ve wanted, and more. Except she’s complicated, sassy, stubborn, and her murderous family is just the beginning of her issues. Worried he won’t be able to protect her from enemies he can’t identify he’s thrown into a tailspin when the Redeemer unexpectedly strikes again. Can he dismiss his oath to law enforcement and ignore Skarlet’s involvement with the Redeemer? Or will he be forced to choose between them?

…has never come in a sexier package.

License to Sass 
By J.K. Harper


Blurb:

Wolf shifter Dante Romano is a ladykiller with soulful eyes, a cocky swagger, and enough smokin' hot sex appeal to burn a woman's panties right off her. He acts like he's shifterdom's gift to womankind. Since he's got the bedroom skills to back that up, why not enjoy the benefits? He would...if he didn't know down to his toes that curvy, tempestous Carmen is his mate. Only no way, no how does she seem to want to be tied forever to a bossy alpha male wolf like Dante. Not even after he puts his claim on the damned impossible woman.

Every time Carmen Delacruz thinks about Dante, she gets hot and bothered. He could make an angel sin, with his dark chocolate eyes and those talented lips and hands. Not to mention he stole her heart years ago, ruining her for any other guy. However, he's got the overbearing alpha male thing down to a science...and that pisses off self-reliant Carmen like crazy. No, she sure doesn't need a man to complete her. But when she finally realizes she really does want license to sass Dante for the rest of her life, it just might be too late.

Claws, Class and a Whole Lotta Sass
By Julia Mills



Blurb:

Hiding in plain sight as the Pack Healer for a bunch of wolves was the perfect cover…

Using ancient magic to hide her true nature hadn’t always been easy, but it beat the hell outta being dead...then he waltzed in. Six foot-nine inches of pure male dragon, looking better than a man had a right to and making her dragoness wake from a long hibernation to spread her wings, not only rocked Dannika’s world, it almost turned it upside-down. As if that wasn’t bad enough, an evil as old as time and twice as deadly has reared its ugly head. Her ability to hide behind her patented sassy attitude may have kept Dannika safe for all these years, but now the future of all things paranormal is at stake and only she holds the key to its survival...well, at least part of it.

It was supposed to be a simple cross country trip, but then, he’d heard that somewhere before…

Since the death of his father almost a century ago, Wolfe McCallum’s life had been a series of incredible ups and devastating downs that made riding a roller coaster seem like a walk in the park. It also didn’t help that he freely admitted to being more stubborn than a mule and twice as contrary. He prided himself on being able to outlast, out argue, or just plain irritate anyone on the planet into giving up without raising a single claw or breaking a sweat...until he damn near tripped over the most beautiful woman in the world.

One look…one kiss…one extraordinary night…

Secrets unlocked, Destiny knocking at the door, and a Fate that will not be denied. Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, be prepared for sudden stops, and by all means – buckle up. Fireworks are the least of your worries when one bull-headed dragon and his sassy-since-birth dragoness are faced with saving not only themselves, but everyone and everything they hold dear.

The Universe may not make mistakes, but She doesn’t make things easy either. It’s gonna take claws, class, and a whole lotta sass to save the day this time.

Sass in the City
By Marianne Morea



Blurb:

“Do you still believe things are meant to be?”

Her eyes found his. “Not so much anymore.”

“I didn’t either, but seeing you here... It can’t be just coincidence.”

Solitary is not an option for a Witch like Lael. Not when your best friend is hell-bent on pulling your love life out of moth balls. But for a seer like Lael, stumbling across someone to help turn up the heat is not an easy find. Not until fate blindsides you head long into the last man you ever expected to see again.

You’re not welcome. For Jet Ellis those words were something he’s had to live with for most of his life. Ever since his future went up in smoke the day he was forced from the magical life he was supposed to have. Why? For being a half-blood shifter.

Ten years have passed since and the two are thrown together in place they never expected to be. Old passions ignite, rekindling a fire than never truly died. But revelations from the past force them passed their own misgivings, when the two are threatened. Lives hang in the balance and they must hold onto each as they face a challenge that will either bring them together forever or destroy them for good.

By Melanie James


Blurb:

Everything was going according to plan until a group of vicious rogues set their sights on her. Can she survive what they have planned for her?

Down in the dumps and with no real plan to move forward Emmett Klein finds himself in an unfamiliar position when his Alpha sends him to Blue Creek to help defend the local pack from rogue attacks. Will Emmett snap out of his slump to help those in need or will it be too late?

Aris and Kane, shifter soldiers of the Harper were-cougar colony, aren’t used to being taken off-guard much less getting their asses kicked.  Now, they’re hot on the trail of the sexy woman whose skilled fighting has them both infuriated and intrigued.

When the two were-cougars catch up to Cyn, her dangerous moves and sassy damned attitude will leave them with one question: Do they kill her or mate with her?

Then, a husky voice on the phone interrupts a boring work shift with a strange request, sending her pulse skyrocketing and toes curling. It’s him. The only boy she ever loved. Drake.

A sultry voice, a threat, and a surprise encounter leave him with his head spinning and fighting for a second chance with the one woman that he never stopped loving. He had his reasons for leaving her, but between wrestling his wolf for self control and his own doubts, he’s struggling to remember them at all.

 But the past doesn’t want to be forgotten. For the pair to have a second chance at love, a lie must be uncovered and a threat eliminated. Or someone might get hurt … again.

Sassy Healing
By Willsin Rowe


Blurb:

Skilled Chicago surgeon Adam Gunnarsson abandoned his wolf heritage—and elitist parents—when heartbreak tore his world apart. And he swore never to let love sink its fangs into him again.

When family commitments lure him home, though, his determination is tested by Simone, a spicy human with more curves than baseball, and the voice of a bourbon-soaked angel.

Pressured by his parents to mate—to a suitable shifter girl, of course—Adam is instead drawn to the sassy singer whose heat seems destined to heal the rift between his two halves.

But as passions rise, so too do tensions. And anyone who’s not a predator becomes, by default, prey.

Where the Lotus Flowers Grow


Even in darkness, love can bloom…

Heir to a multinational hotel empire, Liam Montgomery thinks business is everything—until he goes undercover to check out their locations throughout Asia. As cosmopolitan as Liam is, from the bright lights of Mumbai to the tranquil beaches of Goa to the bustling streets of New York, he's never met anyone like lovely Mary Costa. He can't understand why this delicate, educated woman works as a maid. Or how she is reigniting his long-buried desire to be an artist. They are apart in so many ways—especially in the things Mary won't tell him. But more and more, Liam can't imagine his life without her...

Mary knows this unexpected desire for Liam must end. It’s true that his gentleness and sense of fun inspires her and makes her hopeful for the first time in her life. But she has a grim promise she feels compelled to keep—and painful experiences she fears he could never understand. And with secrets soon reaching out to separate them for good, can they dare risk a future together if it means confronting the scars of the past?
