Disturbingly Beautiful
by J. & L. Wells
Series: A Paradox In Time, #1
Genre: Historical Romance/Time Travel
Release Date: November 13, 2014



Is it really possible that somewhere in time, the perfect paradox could be created? Does romance really stand a chance, and could it ever flourish amidst so many intricacies and broken lives? How can a nineteenth-century governess unknowingly cause so much devastation?

As Nell’s world opens up, we follow her on a complex journey, on which she discovers love, loss and betrayal, and is forced to play a dangerous game from which there appears to be no escape.

An intricate family plot slowly begins to unravel, in which she finds herself centre stage. She was never supposed to leave Haunchcroft estate, and he will do everything in his power to keep her there…

Could a possible rip in time be the salvation that Nell seeks?

“I find you disturbingly beautiful,” are the contradictory words bestowed upon the governess by her master.

Mr Buchannan’s infatuation is a shadow from which Nell cannot escape. The feelings he holds for her are not reciprocated, and though his lust soon turns to love, Nell’s feelings towards him turn to hatred. Dreams and a love of literature are Nell’s only escapism from the downtrodden life she leads as a governess in the nineteenth century.

One night, an intruder on the estate catches Nell off guard, but she gives chase; a decision that leads her through an opening in time between the centuries, where she finds equality, true friendship and a completely different outlook on life.

Despite using this to her advantage to escape the advances of her unwanted suitor, she is somewhat perturbed when she unexpectedly finds him at her side in the twenty-first century. Will love conquer all, or will time always stand in their way?

FROSTED (Katy Regnery) – When Grace Luff's children send her to a Silver Wings weekend at a luxury resort, they are hoping that the 56-years-young widow will meet a man to lift the loneliness she's endured since the passing of her husband over three years before. Grace, who barely remembers how to date, doesn't expect to meet anyone special, so she’s surprised that the owner of a local ski rental shop, Tray Bradshaw, makes her heart leap with interest and attraction. When a rogue snowstorm traps the pair in an abandoned cabin, they'll get to know each other, and discover that it's never too late to change...or fall in love.

GROUNDED (Kate Forest) – Biologist Julia won’t tolerate another frigid Chicago winter studying the frozen Great Lakes. But with every hour of her flight delay, her chance on a research voyage in Florida slips further away.

Excerpt:

 Blake held out his hand. “Come here.”

On autopilot, I grasped his warm hand and stood until we were face to face and body to body. He released my hand and cupped both sides of my face tenderly. “Please tell me you know what you’re saying. What you’re getting yourself into.”

I breathed in his air. Desire and confusion crowded every cell, but I could only listen to my heart. “I do.”

If it was possible, he moved in even closer, his body heat whipping up my chest. “Do you?”

I bit my lip and nodded. “I think so.”

“And what’s that?”

“You.”

With a tortured groan, his lips slammed into mine, giving me no room for thought. He consumed me, worshipped me with his mouth. And I dove right in.

We couldn’t get close enough as I tried to inhale him. He was so dark, so tempting, so perfect.

He finally drew back, his hands still on my cheeks, his fingers forked into my hair. “Delilah.” The way he said my name was like a warning. “Understand something right now . . . if you mean that, if you really mean it, then you’re mine. All mine.” His forehead tipped to mine. “I’m not sure I could let you go now. I’ve never had anything as perfect as you.”

★★★Predator & Prey Promo/Review Blitz Tour★Author James D. Horton★★★


Predator & Prey Series
Book 1: Predatory & Prey
Book 2: Beast
Book 3: Control
by James D. Horton
Series: Predator & Prey, #1-#3
Genre: Paranormal, Romance, Dark Fantasy
Cover Designer: Miranda Horton
Release Dates:
Book1: July 23, 2014
Book 2: August 28, 2014
Book 3: October 24, 2014



Book 1: Predator & Prey
Lily works the night shift at a radio station, taking calls from forlorn and damaged souls who can't sleep. She knows their pain and they find solace in her comforting words. The city is ruthless; nameless creatures roam the streets and prey on the lost and innocent.

As she leaves work one night at the crest of dawn, Lily comes face-to-face with depravity. She is a survivor at heart, but she is unfairly outnumbered and surrenders to her fate. From the shadows an ally emerges, the mysterious and alluring, Wolf. After coming to Lily's aid, he takes her to shelter.

The immediate danger has passed, but the incident is far from over. Wolf tells Lily she is not prey, and sets off into the night with her by his side to set a wrong right. What she sees when entering the dark heart of the city will change her existence forever. Has Wolf taken on a force too big? Will Lily survive the night?


Book 2: Beast
It has been days since Lily killed the vampire responsible for her brutal attack. Now she and Wolf have been summoned by the Society to answer for her actions. Standing before the Regent, she learns she has tipped the human and supernatural scales. A new vampire is required to restore balance.

When she hears the penalty for her crime, Wolf protectively steps in and accepts a dangerous task in exchange for her freedom. He must find the rogue vampire who has been slaughtering citizens in their territory or risk losing Lily to the Society. And he only has days to do it.

As the night of reckoning fast approaches, Lily finds an unlikely advocate in a centuries-old, seductive vampire named Athene who gives her an ominous warning. Athene knows secrets about Wolf she won't divulge, which only complicates the mysterious revelation Lily has recently discovered about herself.

Screams, growls, and cries echo throughout the darkest, desolate streets of the city. The final showdown determines who is predator and who will become prey. One thing remains certain-no one escapes the night unscathed.

Beast is the much anticipated sequel to Predator & Prey by James D Horton.


Book 3: Control
Two weeks have passed since Lily became a vampire and things couldn't be worse. She is starving, out of control, and Wolf has vanished. Her maker, Athene, is patient, but fails to help Lily tame the beast within. After Lily's introduction to Society goes horribly wrong, she is sent to train with Griogar, a narcissistic vampire with questionable tactics.

A powerful member of Society, John Genosoa, has secretly arranged for Wolf's mate to return. The distraction works. Wolf and Luna's reunion is passionate, yet laced with memories of insurmountable loss. Even so, neither is able to refuse the animalistic magnetism drawing them together.

When Lily reaches a new low during a session with Griogar, Wolf reappears. She's furious, but vulnerable to his charm and follows him beneath the City. Lily finds out Wolf has spent ages chasing a legendary tale of transcendence and discovers who has been keeping him away.

Lily is forced to put aside her heartache when Genosoa's plan threatens the City's inhabitants. Genosoa's magic is strong, but not strong enough to keep the existence of vampires a secret from humans. He needs souls to sacrifice.

Wolf, Lily and Luna are dispatched by the Keeper and must act fast to stop the killing of innocents. Screams of agony and a scene of destruction greet them, but they are confronted with a much more sinister obstacle and it's too late to turn back. What begins as a battle turns into an all-out war for their very survival.

Ancient histories are told, myths are revealed and dangerous paths are taken in Control , the highly anticipated third installment in the Predator & Prey series by author James D. Horton.


Guest Reviews by Brenda Smith
Predator and Prey

As many, I dont really care for short stories, they just dont have *meat* to them. I feel that Mr. Horton used this book to find his wings. What I mean by that statement is that his dialog with Lily and Wolf was sparse, but his writing style for description was very good. It was almost like he knew just how to hide his talent, so he could jump out and knock your socks off when you least expect it. He had me thinking that this was his first attempt at writing a paranormal. I am all for a change of the usual vampire, werewolf etc. But a few things just did not work for me. But I read on, and went back a few times just to make sure that I did read that few paragraphs right (that I didnt put words in on my own) it made me chuckle, thinking nice try, man, but that just does not work for me as a paranormal reader. But: then I stopped and said to myself, be fair, read it again. And am I ever glad that I did, because I saw that Mr. Horton has a fantastic talent, he drew me right into the city, Lily's job, her late night walk to her car. and everything else that went on in the story, he had me right there. Expected the un-expected from Mr. Horton, I promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you very much Mr. Horton for happy hours of reading. I have a new fav para author. Happy Reading

                                                                             Beast
I have spent days thinking of the series, what I wanted to say in the reviews of each of them, and I tell you in all honesty, I didnt want to take the time to write a review on Beast, only because I'am chomping at the bit to get to writing the review for book 3: Control. I know that it is so bad of me, but I cant help it.
Beast was very good. Once again Mr. Horton hid his writing talent. And he was able to jump out when you least expect it and knock your socks off. Mr. Horton introduced some great new characters. More of the workings of the Vampire Society, Lily still trying to get closer to Wolf, and Wolf trying to keep his distance, not because the does not care about Lily, because he does, he just does not want Lily to live like he does. I was once again impressed by Mr. Horton, he had me right there in the middle of the story, I love an author that has that gift. Give Beast a read, I don't that you will be disappointed. Thank you again Mr. Horton for great reading enjoyment. Happy Reading.

                                                     Control
I devoured this book. It was fantastic. Mr Horton, showed a hint of a writing skill that I knew was going to be beyond belief. In Predator & Prey, he showed that first hint. In Beast, Mr. Horton showed more, think of it as a small taste of a Death by Chocolate Cake, it gave that rush, and left you craving more, and as I have stated in my review of the previous books, he did it, he KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF with Control. *Standing and giving Mr. Horton a huge ovation shouting Bravo*!!!!!!

Control started with a story from Greek mythology, ( it ties in later in the book). Poor Lily, I cried when Wolf hurt her in book 2, I wanted to stick my hand in his chest. But she was saved by being turned. My heart went out to her, she was so lost without Wolf. She didnt understand why he just vanished out of her life. Lily had Athene ( her maker) and that pain in the behind *Council* deciding her fate, she was to be trained by, ummm I really am not sure just was the guy was,he was just a strange Vamp. But he did give Lily a special gift in one of her training sessions. (opps, no spoilers...sorry).

There were some very unique plot twists, that I thought were brought in at perfect times. People introduced into the story line without missing a beat. Everything just flowed so perfectly, that my socks just went flying right off my feet, I was so impressed with Mr. Horton's writing skill.

Oh yes, we can not forget the little *political intriques* who would have thought that Katherine, maybe had a heart after all.

The battle to save innocents, was omg!!!!!! killer, the detail that went into the discription of Wolf, Lily, and Luna trying to save the innocents was beyond words, Mr Horton drew me right in to the battle, I was actually ducking to avoid flames and falling bricks and stuff, it was unreal, I was hollering,*look behind you, duck*, to Wolf, Luna and Lily. It takes a very special talent to be able to draw the reader into the story.

I wish I could give Control more then 5 stars, it was without a doubt, one of the best paranormal books, I have read in a long time.
Please read Control, I have no doubt that you will enjoy it.

Hats off to Mr. Horton, superb job on the series. I'am happy to say that I have added you to my fav authors list. I hope that will be a book 4, I would really like to see where Lily goes. Thank you for such a fantastic series. Happy reading.
