Charming The Alpha by Liliana Rhodes

Charming The Alpha is now on Apple!

Amazon|AmazonUK|Barnes & Noble|AllRomance eBooks|Kobo|Apple

Let me start out by saying I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am to all my readers! Charming The Alpha became an All Romance Top 50 Bestseller, climbed as high as #2 in Paranormal Romance – Witches and Wizards on Amazon and Top 20 in Paranormal Romance – Werewolves & Shifters.

Because of all the support for Charming The Alpha, I’m going to continue the story. Caleb and Hannah will not be the main characters, but they will be in the story as we learn more about the shifters, witches, and other characters living in Leeds Point, NJ. Sign up for my newsletter so you can find out when the sequel is released.

coverThe idea for Charming The Alpha came about while I was writing No Regrets, the spin-off novel to my His Every Whim series. In No Regrets, Deborah Hansen meets Mr. Sexy, William King and both of their lives change. When I wrote Will I have to admit I had Hugh Jackman in mind. I just kept running into him everywhere.

One day I was talking to my friend Tara about the perfect alpha male and I said the perfect alpha male is Wolverine. Yes, I am that big of a geek, but its something I’m proud of lol! Before you think I’ve lost my mind, thing about it. Wolverine is a loner, he keeps to himself, he is madly in love with Jean Grey, and would do anything for her. Wolverine is passionate, jealous, strong, but surprisingly sensitive in the right situations. See, I’m not so crazy now am I?

When I finished No Regrets, I was supposed to get back to writing Jude, part one of the Silverlight Rock Star Romance series, but I couldn’t get Hugh Jackman as Wolverine out of my head. Still on my Wolverine kick, I tried to substitute him with someone else. Enter Ryan Reynolds who was in Wolverine and then showed off even more of his muscles in Green Lantern. With these gorgeous, muscular men in my head, I came up with the story for Charming The Alpha.

I know this is a long post, but let me finish up with some updates:

  • Jude, the first of the four part Silverlight Rock Star Romance series, will be published this Fall. I’m hoping to have it out by Thanksgiving and then have the other books in the series published shortly after. Each part will focus on one member of Silverlight and how these bad boys are tamed.
  • The His Every Whim novels will be continuing. Available early 2014 will be Tara’s story. If you don’t remember, Tara took care of Xander Boone’s horses and stables, and befriended Ashley. In her book, Tara has reconnected with Mason, a man she once considered to be the love of her life. We’ll go back in time and see what happened to the lovers that kept them apart and see how that affects them as they get to know each other again.
  • Coming next week will be a new LilianaRhodes.com! I am beyond excited to show you my gorgeous new website. On there you’ll be able to see all my books, get news from me, and read excerpts from each of my titles. This blog will continue but very limited, so if you want updates from me, please sign up for my newsletter. It is the best way to make sure you find out when I have a new book out. 🙂
  • I’m going to set up a street team very soon! Keep an eye out for more information on that if you’re interested in joining.
  • Lastly, don’t forget about the big giveaway of a $50 Amazon gift card (or PayPal cash) plus 25 ebooks from some amazing authors including me!

Have a great weekend!  xx

Charming The Alpha by Liliana Rhodes

Charming The Alpha by Liliana Rhodes

Hannah Crane just graduated college, lives at home with her mom, and has no idea what to do with her life. One night while visiting her grandmother, she’s startled by a wolf and everything changes.

In the forest investigating a recent rash of murders and missing shifters, werewolf Alpha Caleb Overstreet doesn’t expect to run into a human, let alone a witch. Especially not one whose scent tells him she is his other half…or is she?

As the secrets of her ancestry are revealed, Caleb and Hannah are unable to stay away from each other and Hannah finds herself in danger. A rival pack believes her to be at the center of a curse that would enable them to control other shifters. But is Hannah the wolf charmer they believe her to be? Or is she really Caleb’s fated mate?

Beared To You by Tawny Taylor

Beared To You

Curvy city girl Abby Clumm wouldn’t normally travel to remote cabins in Alaska alone. But thanks to a poorly timed air traffic controllers’ strike, she finds herself alone in the boonies. As night falls, a shotgun she doesn’t know how to use and a flimsy wooden door are the only things standing between her and the vicious, hungry beast outside.

The scent of a woman nearby beckons research scientist Tarik Evert, sends him staggering outside into the cold. He doesn’t remember how he wound up at her door, naked and shivering. And he’s not sure what is about to happen if she lets him inside. He only knows one thing—the fierce, unrelenting hunger that brought him to her in the first place.

And that’s just the beginning of their troubles…

Taming The Alpha by Adriana Hunter

taming-alpha

When you’re the Alpha Male there are certain things that are expected of you, and finding a suitable mate is at the top of the list. For Jax, a powerful and dangerous werewolf, that’s not so easy because the one woman he’s deeply attracted to is a girl that will never be accepted by the pack. A woman that he can’t seem to get out of his head. A first for him.

Beautiful, curvy Nikki Avery hates her job at the local strip club, but she’s struggling just to get by. Her dream of ever finding a decent guy worth loving shattered as night after night she stands before a crowd of drunken men, their jeers and catcalls burning a hole in her heart. To make things worse, there’s a killer on the loose, stalking the dancers, waiting to attack.

But when a handsome stranger appears at the club, his dangerous, feral presence commanding attention, the sexual charge between them is so strong that she can barely breathe, Nikki finds herself swept into a world she never dreamed existed. A world where nothing is as it seems and once she enters, there is no turning back.

Until The Flood by Cynthia Brint

untilthefloodsmall1

When I fell in love with Brandon Beck, tasted my first kiss in his arms, I believed deep in my bones that we would always be together. Nothing could ever tear us apart. And you know, I was right.

Until the flood came, I was right.

That day, I was sure I’d lost everything. Brandon Beck’s body had been swept away. The one boy that was meant for me was gone. That was what I thought, anyway.

Two years later, I caught a glimpse of him. Why would the love of my life stalk me from the shadows, why would he hide away for so long? Maybe it was all in my head.

Or was it possible… that Brandon Beck had never died at all?

There are just a few things standing in the way of true happiness: he’s blind, he’s dating someone, and he’s WAY out of her league.

Adam has waited an eternity for his mate. After three thousand years of searching he’s almost given up hope that he’ll ever find her… almost convinced himself that God has forsaken him to a life of solitude.

Cassie is heartbroken. At just 23 the buxom, beautiful werewolf has found herself caught up in her mother’s Machiavellian power struggles, forced into an arranged marriage with Lucius, the cruel, violent alpha of the Ironclaw tribe. When the Long Night arrives Cassie will become his property, to do with as he pleases.

Imprisoned in Lucius’ summer home with Megan, a gutter-minded 400 year old teenager, and Rutherford, a senile housekeeper who can’t remember where he left his trousers, Cassie has almost resigned herself to her fate. She’d never dare go against her mother, and to reject Lucius would lead the weak Darkfangs into war with the mighty Ironclaws. Cassie knows she has no choice but to sacrifice her happiness for her tribe…

… And then she picks up a scent on the breeze, and everything changes.

The First Alpha is a tale of love against all odds; of betrayal, scheming and intrigue, and of two lost souls linked together across time.

Authorgraph and An Update

A few months ago one of my friends told me about this very cool site called Authorgraph. Basically, in a world of e-books we’ve lost the ability to go to an author signing and get a book signed…not anymore!

authorgraph widgetAuthorgraph is a cool service that will send the author a notice that you would like your  e-book autographed. I have to say its really awesome and its free!

Here’s how you do it direct from Evan Jacobs of Authorgraph:

When a reader receives her Authorgraph, she’ll have the option of downloading it in a variety of formats including PDF which can be opened in any reading app. To load an Authorgraph onto a non-Kindle device (e.g. Nook, Kobo, etc.), simply attach your device to your computer and copy across the downloaded file.

If you have an e-book and would like me to sign it with a short note, check out Authorgraph.

If you’ve been keeping up with this blog or my Facebook page, you know my family and I drove across country from New Jersey to California last month to relocate. The move went well but did have its bumps so I didn’t get back to writing as quickly as I hoped.

As of right now I’m still hoping to have Deborah’s story from the His Every Whim series published by the end of the month, but it might be beginning of July.

The working title for Deborah’s book is Tailor-Made for the Billionaire. It will be one complete story instead of a serial and even if you’ve never read His Every Whim, you can read Tailor-Made.

I will post a cover reveal and excerpt once I have a firmer publishing date. Tailor-Made is about Deborah pursuing her dream of being a fashion designer and the gorgeous mysterious man she meets while working as a tailor at a huge department store.

Lucky Break new coverLastly, I recently changed the cover for Lucky Break and put it on sale for 99 cents! I wanted to post about this sooner but I had an issue with the price going back to its original price at certain places. Lucky Break is available at Apple iBooks, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, AllRomance e-Books, and Kobo.

Lucky Break will be on sale at least until the end of June as I prepare to release the first of the Silverlight series – Jude’s story – this summer. More on the 4-part Silverlight series soon!

Have a great week and thank you so much for all of your support, emails, and everything! I have the best readers! xx

Happy Mother’s Day and An Excerpt!

Blue, excerpt, Facebook page, Liliana Rhodes, writing

Happy Mother’s Day everyone! I just posted this on Facebook but wanted to share…

As promised here’s a small excerpt from a little pet project I’m working on tentatively titled Blue. Its very rough and unedited but I hope you enjoy it:

As I opened the glass door to enter the bank, my eyes immediately went to Arlene’s station. She was the head teller, a petite blonde who looked older than her age, and she had the only customer in the place.
At the other end of the counter I saw my name plate waiting for me at my station next to the drive thru. Veronica Davis. My attention didn’t stay away from Arlene’s customer for long.
He was tall and slender but muscular. It wasn’t like me to check out the customers but this one stood out. He wasn’t Federal Savings usual blue-hair.
He was covered in splattered paint. From the white baseball cap he wore, that his brown hair peeked out from, to his faded and frayed black Converse high tops. I couldn’t help but slow my walk to admire the muscular cuts in his arms and the way his chest pulled across his faded grey Grateful Dead t-shirt.
As my eyes traveled downward over his beaten up and torn jeans, I had to bite my lip when I saw how nicely they hugged him. Wait, there’s another tear near…is that his butt?
Time must have stood still as I looked at this gorgeous guy. I barely noticed when he started walking towards me, a smile on his face that softened his strong jaw line and put a twinkle in his hazel eyes. I smiled back but had to look away. If I didn’t I knew I’d trip and regret making a fool of myself.
“Hi,” he said as he walked past.
His voice was deep and sent shock waves through me. My heart was pounding so loudly I was sure the entire bank could hear it. I needed to be cool.
“Hi,” I replied as I turned around to get one last glimpse of him before he walked out the door.
“Wow are your cheeks red,” Arlene said.
“What? Huh?” I said.
My hands flew up and touched my burning face. It wasn’t like me to blush. Is that what my cheeks were doing? Damn them for giving me away!
“You feeling well?”
“What? Oh I, yes I’m fine. I guess I was just in a rush,” I lied hoping I sounded convincing. “Who was that guy? I’ve never seen him here before.”
“That’s because you’re never here so early. He makes the Cranston deposits everyday.”
“Cranston? The funeral home?”
“Yup. That was Reed Craven. I went to high school with him. Cute, isn’t he? He’s one of their funeral directors.”
“Funeral director? Weird!”
“Someone’s gotta do it. I hear they make decent money,” she said as she shrugged then began counting her drawer.
I’d been to funerals before. I thought the people who worked there all had the same pale, creepiness to them. This guy didn’t fit that at all.
As I set up my station I thought about what Arlene said. If they went to high school together, that made him about six years older than me. Twenty-six. I always did have a thing for older guys. I wondered how I would run into him again.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a great day!

Updates and Upcoming Releases

billionaire romance, His Every Whim, Liliana Rhodes, Lucky Break, novel, novella, romance series, writing

No, I haven’t fallen off the planet and to let you know I’m still alive, I wanted to give you an update on my publishing plans. 🙂

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately while getting ready to move. The problem is I’m coming up with too many ideas! I have so many characters running around in my head right now. None of this is set in stone, but here’s what I’ve been thinking about so far.

About His Every Whim the series, the first four parts will be turned into a novel. I’m not sure when I’ll get around to that because I don’t want to just take the four parts and republish them, I want to add a lot more to it. Whenever I do get around to it, it’ll include more chapters focusing on Ashley and Xander because I feel like I have so much more to say about them that I didn’t get to in the series. I’m not ignoring Drake and Samantha, they will have some extra chapters too, but most of the new content will be about Ashley and Xander’s relationship.

Since I’m talking about His Every Whim, let me talk about the spin-offs. There are so many people I love in the His Every Whim world that I want to dedicate novels to each of them. Right now I already have plans for novels for Jackie, Tara, and the first one to be released will be Deborah’s.

Originally the plan was to release Deborah’s story as a three part series. I’ll be releasing her story as a novel instead. Deborah will be chasing her dream of becoming a fashion designer. While at work she will meet a mysterious stranger and they’ll have an instant attraction. I’m hoping to have that published by the end of June (fingers crossed!). I’ll give more details about her story in a couple of weeks.

Speaking of billionaires, some of you have asked me about one of my first short stories, Per His Request. I always planned on continuing that story because I love the characters so much, but when I started writing the next part I felt it needed some work so I unpublished it. I’m hoping to republish it by the end of the summer as a complete story called The Billionaire’s Secret.

Also this summer I’m planning to publish part 1 of the Silverlight series. For those who haven’t read Lucky Break, Silverlight was THE band at the time. Imagine The Beatles or U2, a band everyone knows. Jude Morrison was the band’s drummer and the romantic interest in Lucky Break and in part 1 of the Silverlight series, I’ll be taking you into his past. Silverlight will be a four part series where each book follows a different member of the band in a different period of time.

I also have some other ideas such as a New Adult Contemporary Romance novel that will be released this summer and a possible novella series that I can only compare to the TV show Dallas (in that it will be about a family that owns a ranch, not that kind of drama though).

Hope you’re all doing well!  Talk to you again soon!  🙂
