Fire Country

In a changed world where the sky bleeds red, winter is hotter than hell and full of sandstorms, and summer's even hotter with raging fires that roam the desert-like country, the Heaters manage to survive, barely.

Due to toxic air, life expectancies are so low the only way the tribe can survive is by forcing women to procreate when they turn sixteen and every three years thereafter. It is their duty as Bearers.

Fifteen-year-old Siena is a Youngling, soon to be a Bearer, when she starts hearing rumors of another tribe of all women, called the Wild Ones. They are known to kidnap Youngling girls before the Call, the ceremony in which Bearers are given a husband with whom to bear children with.

As the desert sands run out on her life's hourglass, Siena must uncover the truth about the Wild Ones while untangling the web of lies and deceit her father has masterfully spun.

Wicked Right??????

A.M. Hargrove agreed to visit with us for a couple of minutes, she´s giving us inside info about Liasare, who is she? what´s up with her? you know, all the things we want to know =D

More On Liasare
Liasare is this frightened young woman who is searching for her brother and best friend in the universe. He’s been missing for a couple of months and no one will tell her anything. She heads back down to Earth, which is now a dystopia because an extremely form of small pox swept across the globe and annihilated seventy percent of the human population. Scared and unsure of herself, she puts up a facade of courage and begins her search. On the first day there, she meets Jurek and things explode between them.
He, of course, is a douche and she has never dealt with men before. Her brother has protected her from them and due to an accident as a young girl, she has shied away from any kind of relationships with men. So she is completely in the weeds with him. But the attraction between them is so strong she can’t walk away. Then, the icing on the cake is when he offers her his protection in this dangerous place she finds herself and even offers to help her in her search for her brother. She has no choice but to accept because she truly is in fear for her life.  
And so it begins...the romance between them is like that of a dogfight. She doesn’t back down and he isn’t used to having any kinds of emotions where women are concerned. She acts all tough but inside she is quivering at the mere thought of him. And then they have this undeniable connection between them. For some reason (that the reader uncovers later on) they can’t seem to be apart from each other. And boy do the sparks fly between these too and many times in a not so good way.  
But if you want to find out more and what happens, you’re just going to have to read Dark Waltz!

One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, A. M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would quickly be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life. So, she rolled down the passenger window of her fabulous (not) company car and tossed out her leather briefcase. Luckily, the pedestrian in the direct line of fire was a dodgeball pro and had über quick reflexes enabling him to avoid getting bashed in the head. Feeling a tad guilty about the near miss, A. M. made a speedy turn down a deserted side street before tossing her crummy, outdated piece-of-you-know-what lap top out the window. She breathed a liberating sigh of relief, picked up her cell phone and hit #4 on her speed dial.

"Hello."
"Boss, is that you?"
"Why yes, A. M., who else would be answering my phone?"
"Er... right. Well, I'm calling to let you know you can pick up my luxury Ford Focus at Starbucks near the interstate."
"Why ever would I want to do that?"
"Because I quit you idiot!"

A.M. hit the end button and speed dialed her husband.

"Hi hubs, can you pick me up at Starbucks?"
"Sure... Having some car trouble?"
"Not at all. I don't have a car to have trouble with because I just quit my job."
"WHAT?!"
"It's time for a new career and I am going to be a very famous novelist."

So began A. M. Hargrove's career as a young adult paranormal romance author of self-published ebooks. Her series, The Guardians of Vesturon, centers around a family of six siblings and is a mix of humor, mystery, suspense and of course, love.

 
If you're wondering, it didn't happen EXACTLY that way.

A tall, dark, single dad Texas rancher finds himself facing more than his stubbornly silent son when the chupacabra, a supposedly mythical blood-sucking beast, starts killing his livestock—and stalking the town’s newly returned veterinary assistant, the sensual woman who ran from the altar and broke his heart twelve years earlier.

 I love, love, love this book; for starters it talks a bit about the chupacabra legend, is supposed to be an "animal" that has the habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestockt mostly goats. The author used this legend in an amazing way, webbing it with her story and creating something unique.
 
 
Vic Vargas is a rancher, a one of a kind rancher he also runs a bar and just became the proud papá of a teen boy he didn´t knew existed. He works his behind off trying to get close to his boy, but never actually achieves it and knowing taht his long lost love is back in town turn his life into a complete wreck.
 
Laney can´t or forget what hapened the night she and Vic where going to elope to get married, she is trapped in her memories and that is destroying her life and her sanity night by night. The prospect of seeing Vic again is...
 
I adored this book, you guys know how much I like second chances and this one is on top of the list. The plot is certanly not for the faint of heart as it touches several very dark subjects and has really HAWT sex scenes, soooo pls if you are underaged, you know the drill. Sorry =D
 
 
Theres also the coolest curandera "a healer"  Esperanza is all kinds of creepy and she holds the truths to all the questions, the bad thing, she talks in riddles so undertsanding what she say is next to imossible LOL!!!
 
Vic and Laney are really perfect together and their tory is something you guys can´t miss. Misa Ramirez is an amazing storyteller , she used the perfect amount of suspense, mistery, romance and action, to make this story perfect.
 
She is also pretty good at making me guess, there wasa moment in the story that I was pretty sure I had everything figured ou and then... I was WRONG!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thisbook was everything I was expecting and then some, Melisa Bourbon Ramirez is an authoor to look out for. I´ll def. look for her books from now on.

Publisher: Self-Published
Release date: February 14, 2013
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary Action, Suspense, Mystery, Romance

Synopsis:
Sophie has enough problems in her life without Spencer turning her blood to fire, without his eyes freezing and burning her, without his hatred of her. Since his migration into the house next to hers, Sophia Valdez isn’t sure whether she wants to toss him under a bus or kiss that smirking mouth of his. But even as the temperature rises around them, leaping flames of passion, want and desire,
everything either has ever known will be shattered by the lurking shadow hounding their every step, wanting revenge.

Spencer Rowth moves to the sleepy town of River Port with his mother and twelve year old sister, Suzy, to escape a deceitful father, an unfaithful girlfriend and a life crumbling much too fast for him to grapple onto only to be smacked upside the head by the last thing he wanted again. Sophie was everything he refused to want. Her temper, her wit, her laugh, her smile, the way her entire body goes up in flames under his hands are things he would rather slam a lid on and forget. Instead, he finds himself falling for the smart-mouth next door. But how long will he have before the evil chasing them catches up? How long before the very thing he never wanted becomes his only thread to sanity? And who is after them? What do they want and why do they want Spencer and Sophie dead?
Teaser:
 
“I hope that’s the last of our unlucky streak.”
Sophie couldn’t agree more, but something in the air, a chill, coiled around her, sinking razor sharp talons into her flesh. It trickled venom through her veins, paralyzing all hopes that tomorrow would be better. Truthfully, how could it be when the person responsible was still out there? What if they came back? What if they tried again? What if they did it to someone else?
No. Sophie had no delusions that it would be better tomorrow. She wasn’t fooled by the temporary calm. Two incidents simultaneously? Maybe the police didn’t spot the link, but she wasn’t so lucky nor could she rule out that possibility that Spencer was the center of it all.

She also likes to travel and take pictures of everything she comes across. When asked, Airicka describes herself as a sarcastic basket case that has an unhealthy addiction to chocolate, old movies and really bad jokes. She loves to laugh, make friends and write. If she could have one wish granted, it would be to spend one day as a fly-on-the-wall inside Stephen King's mind. If she could have two wishes granted, she would ask for a castle dedicated entirely to her overwhelming collection of books.
