Day 8 - This or That with Kallypso Masters: Interview and Giveaway!


Fast, fun facts about Kally!



Beach or Swimming Pool?  Beach (prefer walking on the beach, rather than swimming in the water)



Strawberry or Blueberry? Blueberry (unless it’s a daiquiri)



Handcuffs or Silk Scarf? Oh, both are dangerous to those tender nerves in the wrist, but I’m thinking silk scarf (in the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing)



Man in Uniform or Construction Worker? Man in a Uniform! (Puh-leez! Especially military, cop, or fire fighter ones. Altho I once wrote a story about a guy who owned a construction company, but was still very hands-on )



Pepsi or Coke? Diet Coke with Lime! (DCwL is the shorthand used on my Facebook timeline)



Sunrise or Sunset? Sunset



Road Trip or Fly? Road Trip (and scenic routes, not the interstates)



Saver or Spender? Totally a spender. Drives my saver hubby nuts!



Writers Cave or Starbucks? Writer’s Cave (I don’t drive coffee, so rarely even think about going to a Starbucks.)



Pickles or Cucumbers? Pickles—sweet ones! (Oh, and if you missed it, there was an earlier blog post in this tour where I shared important information on having safe sex with veggies! Click HERE to see the post)



Clean shave or 5 o’clock shadow? That’s a little personal—OH! Blush 5 o’clock shadow (or even a full beard, like my hubby’s)



Silence or Noise? Silence if the other option is noise. But nice, soothing music would be lovely.




Free and Almost Free Books Available in the Rescue Me Series



For those new to this series who want a free glimpse into the Rescue Me world, you can get started with the FREE introduction, Masters at Arms. This book introduces six characters who will go on to have happily ever after Romances shared about them. (Adam & Karla, Damián & Savannah, Marc, and in a small part here but with more to come later, Grant.)


But because I won’t want you to stop there, I’ve combined the first two books into one volume to make it easier. You get the first TWO books in the series—Masters at Arms & Nobody’s Angel—for only 99 cents! (Saves $3 off the previously published single, Nobody’s Angel. Nobody’s Angel introduces you to Angelina and shows her exploration into the world of BDSM. But Marc remained so closed off still in this book, I needed to give him time. He’ll reveal himself in the new release Somebody’s Angel, due out by Christmas.

You’ll find buy links to all of my books currently for sale at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, All Romance eBooks, Kobo, Apple, Smashwords, and CreateSpace (print versions), at my Ahh, Kallypso…the stories you tell blog page. (http://kallypsomasters.blogspot.com/p/books-by-kallypso-masters.htm)

Here are links to the new combo:





(Coming soon to Apple and Libiro)

Release Day!!!! INFINITE POSSIBILITIES: The Secret Life of Amy Bensen Book 2 by Lisa Renee Jones



I think it's pretty obvious to anyone who's visited my blog, that Lisa Renee Jones is one of my all-time favorite authors. With her new release, INFINITE POSSIBILITIES, readers step back into the Secret Life of Amy Bensen, who we last saw on the run from Liam Stone and unknown enemies at the end of book 1, ESCAPING REALITY. 

INFINITE POSSIBILITIES picks up right where ESCAPING REALITY left off, with Amy once again on the run, only this time she is determined to discover who is threatening her and her life. She is sick of running scared, she needs to know who is responsible for her family's death and why.  

INFINITE POSSIBILITIES took me on one hell of an emotional roller coaster. This series has enthralled me from the start. Liam Stone and Amy Bensen have some pretty phenomenal chemistry sparking between them, but this new installment went beyond the passion and delved deeper into the suspense of Amy's past.  Many times I found myself on the edge of my seat, holding my breath as I turned to page to see what was going to happen next. There was never a dull moment. Amy fights to remember her past and fears there is no future for her or Liam.  She has good cause to worry. There are times when it feels like she loses everything, only to find that there is always hope.  

I think one of the best parts of this whole book is the epilogue. Not because the book is over, but because I know that the series is not, and I'm thrilled with the direction this series is going! This was the last book in Amy's POV. Liam and Amy have found their HEA, but there are still questions waiting to be answered. A new character will have a chance of redemption and a chance to solve the mysteries of the past. I can't wait to learn more about this character!

WARNING: Tissues should be easily accessible, because there are some parts that really tear at the heart.

Cover Reveal: PLEASING THE PIRATE by Sharon Cullen



Two hearts are wrenched between love and duty in Sharon Cullen’s tale of a ruthless pirate and the Scottish lass who fills him with desire for something greater than plunder.
With her clan’s crops burned and their property confiscated, Mairi McFadden is desperate to free her brother from imprisonment so that he can take his rightful place as chief. Her only hope is the fierce English pirate Phin Lockwood, but the buccaneer laughs at her meager funds. His roving eyes, however, tell Mairi there’s something else he’ll take in exchange for her brother’s rescue. Though she burns with hatred for the English, she’ll do anything to save her clan.

The crown has made it clear that Phin has two choices: bring in a certain Scottish traitor or hang. And he’s not about to let a tiny, whiskey-eyed woman get in his way, even if she is pointing a gun at him. When Phin learns that Mairi’s brother is the very man he seeks, he’s more than willing
to use the lass as bait. But as the moment of capture draws near, Phin is surprised by his feelings for the courageous beauty who has him considering risking his life—for someone besides himself.
