    An Uncommon Love (Romantic Realms Collection 2) by MJ Schiller

    Princess Adriana had her life all figured out…
    Or, to be more precise, she had her life all figured out for her. Before she was even born she was betrothed to Garin, and that was perfectly acceptable as he became her childhood friend, and then, eventually, the person she would swap kisses with inside the palace gardens. She never questioned it, never had a reason to, until the day a commoner was brought before her father, the King, to be punished.
    …until the day her eyes conncected with blacksmith Seth Hobb’s across a stone courtyard.
    When he creeps into the castle at night to thank her for freeing him, they begin to build a relationship with one another that is often as explosive as it is endearing. But fate ends up separating the two and they must undertake a long and arduous journey to be reunited.
    But with everything against them, can an uncommon love like theirs survive?
    Even then, can Adriana make Seth see her for herself and not as the princess he imagines? And if she does, will she ever be able to convince her father that, despite his objections over Seth being a commoner, there is nothing “common” about him at all?

    Dangerous Addictions by Naomi BellinaWant some free books? Nab a few good reads on #FreeBookFriday Naomi Bellina #RLFblog

    With the aid of an inexplicable but opportune super-power, he’s determined to conquer any hurdles to gain back his freedom. Except one hot mess of an obstacle he can’t get around.
    A terrorist attack poisons the water and leaves hundreds of thousands of Americans dead. Countless more are left with diminished brain function. As the government seizes control, order is restored in the country but freedom is taken away. A nation is quarantined, all citizens regulated to stay within the borders.
    For Riley, a genius hacker, that lack of freedom, particularly travel restriction, is not acceptable. When he suddenly develops a bad-ass power and learns he can manipulate electricity, he sets out to use that power to gain back control. The discovery of a murder forces Riley to team up with Danika, an enigmatic woman with her own freaky power and scary secrets. When they find that the dead scientist was working on a machine to uncover more people with superpowers, the adventure begins as they attempt to track the device.
    Death and danger shadow the pair as they travel to the waterways of Florida, the mountains of Colorado and places in between. With each of them following their own agenda but compelled to work together, they search for answers in a world shaped by devastation, and discover love, and buried pieces of themselves along the way.

    Naomi Bellina asks Do Werewolves Get Old #PNR @TheGoddessNaomi #RLFblog

    Guest Post with Naomi Bellina

    Do werewolves get old?
    One of the best parts about reading
    paranormal books is seeing how each author creates her world. You have to make
    rules for your kingdom, then stick with them. Supernatural beings can have many
    characteristics. How can they be killed? What are their weaknesses? Their
    strengths? Do they live forever?  I want
    my were-creatures to age. Yes, they live longer, healthier lives than humans
    but they do grow old. And it sucks! That’s one of the themes I had big fun
    playing with in Sins of Long Ago.
    Imagine you’re an alpha werewolf,
    used to being in charge, to getting what and who you want. One day, you start
    to notice lines on your face that weren’t there yesterday. You move a little
    slower in a fight, want to come in sooner from a moon run. You’re aging, like you
    knew you would, and like us regular old mortals, you start to think about
    serious shit. The fun and games of youth are over and your thoughts turn to the
    future. To family, friends, and maybe leaving behind some kind of legacy.
    I had a challenge with one
    particular scene in Sins. My editor
    asked me to change it, because it made Vincent, my hero, look kind of sleazy.
    The scene is important because it helps show his vulnerability when he’s
    treated differently than he expects, due to his “mature” nature. I rose
    to the challenge and came up with a great compromise that my editor and I both
    loved. Vincent keeps his morals intact but I still got to make him suffer a
    little at the hands of a wily woman.
    I hope no matter what your age, you
    enjoy reading Sins of Long Ago as
    much as I enjoyed writing it.

    About the Book

    Title Sins of Long Ago
    Genre Paranormal Romance
    Author Naomi Bellina
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Werewolves and humans don’t mix.
    Until danger forces an alliance and desire demands satisfaction.
    Leading his pack of werewolves
    keeps Vincent plenty busy, and now with a predator out to harm them, life is
    more perilous than ever. The last thing he needs is a woman to complicate
    matters, especially one who sets his body and soul on fire. She’s a human and a
    witch — totally the wrong woman for him. Even if he could take a mate for his
    own, he refuses to put her in the danger his life has become. No way can they
    ever be together. Werewolf-style love is fine anyway. No permanent partner, no
    bullshit, no heartache.
    Genevieve has never known true
    love. Cursed by an enraged woman long
    ago, females in her family are doomed to go insane if they fall in love. Life
    has been fine without a man around– until a hot werewolf drops in and captures
    her heart. Though they have plenty of obstacles to overcome, Gen knows they can
    work past them. Tell that to Vincent, as he struggles with old pack rules about
    love, sex, and consorting with humans.
    As Vincent searches for a killer,
    deals with death among his own, and tries to keep his hands off Gen, she
    attempts to end her family curse. Together, they must find a way to break free
    from the sins of long ago.

    Ley Lines: Ruled by the Moon @TheGoddessNaomi #RLFblog #PNR

    Ruled by the Moon
    by Naomi Bellina 

    By Naomi Bellina

    I’m minutes away from hopping on a plane leaving St. Louis Missouri.
    I’ve been visiting my mom and sister and I’m waaaaaay past ready to go home. For
    one thing, I’m freezing my butt off! Time to get back to Florida. I grew up in St.
    Louis and I knew without a doubt, it was not the place I wanted to spend the rest
    of my life. Now before you St. Louis dwellers start blasting me for picking on your
    city, let me say, there are many wonderful features of this area. Fans love and
    support their sport teams, for sure. St. Louis offers a wide variety of good food
    and entertainment, a fantastic highway system, nearby wineries to make you drool
    and the most beautiful autumns you’ll ever see.
    But not for me. I longed for something more in whatever place
    I lived. I can’t describe what that something was, but knew I’d recognize it when
    I felt it. In Ruled by the Moon, magical people such as witches and werewolves are
    drawn to Nocturne because of powerful ley lines that run through the area. I’ve
    always been fascinated with ley lines so I did some research and found they could
    very well be running through my fictitious Midwestern United States town. Check
    out this Google
    page for some great maps of ley lines. They’re everywhere! According to Wikipedia, ley lines are
    “…supposed alignments of numerous places of geographical and historical interest,
    such as ancient monuments and megaliths, natural ridge-tops and water-fords.”
    I believe they’re spots that contain certain kinds of power.
    On this visit to St. Louis, I checked in to see if I could feel
    energy from that strong line running through Missouri. Nope. At least not anything
    I could pick up. Or maybe, the energy that flowed was exactly what I found unpleasant.
    Maybe it affected me on some level I wasn’t even aware of. I live in Florida now
    and though there are many qualities I love about this state (it’s soooooo much better
    to be here in February), it’s still not quite my perfect home. I’ve always been
    drawn to mountains and after a recent visit to Taos, New Mexico, would love to explore
    that area. Maybe one day.
    How about you? Do you have a place that resonates with your soul?
    Thank you so much for visiting today.

    About the Book

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    A psychic vet, a secretive werewolf, a menace stalking the shifters.
    Welcome to Nocturne.
    Dylan is a werewolf with a problem. He shifts at the new moon
    as well as at the full moon. He was born a werewolf, not made like most shape-changers
    and due to these unique traits he’s avoided joining a pack and has given up hope
    of having a normal life. Morgan is a veterinarian, ready to be on her own for a
    good long time after leaving a cheating, spineless husband. She has a plan for her
    life that doesn’t include a bossy, furry man.
    Both are drawn to Nocturne, a town filled with magic due to a
    strong convergence of ley lines in the area. Morgan and Dylan recognize a connection
    when they meet, but neither one is looking for romance. After a harrowing encounter
    with a panther shape-shifter, they must combine forces and work together to uncover
    a menace that threatens the town. If they can learn to trust each other and let
    their guard down, they have a chance to solve the mystery and open the door to love.

    Graffiti: Art or Vandalism? Naomi Bellina author of Don’t Say No #RLFblog #graffiti

    Don’t Say No 
    I read a book some time ago that featured taggers, or graffiti
    artists. I found the subject fascinating and had to do more research. According
    to an article at the Center
    for Problem-Oriented Policing
    , there are four major types of graffiti, all problematic
    and some gang related. Then there are other articles like this one at Smashing
    Magazine
    , that portray graffiti as art. Check out the examples they show here,
    or these by female
    street artists. I wouldn’t mind having some of this artwork on the building
    at my business.
    If I did decide to decorate the outside of my shop, how would
    I go about finding a graffiti artist? An Internet search brought up a Facebook page, a Tumblr page, and many
    more sites all over the world. Not too many in my area, but I’m sure I could hunt
    one down, possibly listing themselves as a mural artist.
    Beautiful as it is, sometimes the pictures are done without permission.
    In Don’t Say No, unwelcome graffiti is painted all over the outside of a spa on
    grand opening day. Curse words, not beautiful pictures. My hero and heroine come
    up with a creative solution to solve the problem.
    Have you ever seen graffiti that you’d like painted on your walls?
    Thanks so much for reading.

    How to Relax on a Deserted Island When Killers Are After You @TheGoddessNaomi #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance

    Her Wild Protector 
    There you are, on a tropical island, with a guy who practically
    kidnapped you. He says he has a plan to protect you, and so far he’s done a good
    job of keeping you safe from two men, one who turns into a cheetah and another who
    becomes a panther. Oh, and both of them tried to kill you. This guy is sexy as hell
    and the more you learn about him, the more you like him, but that doesn’t change
    the fact that he’s irritatingly bossy. Throw in the minor problem that there are
    killers after you and you have a pretty good reason to be off-the-charts stressed
    out.
    How about a session of Tai Chi? This non-aggressive form of martial
    art has many benefits, including improved posture, better flexibility and what you
    so desperately need, stress reduction. So when the hot guy (who looks even hotter
    when he’s doing Tai Chi) suggests you join him in his workout, you agree. And surprise!
    After forty minutes of moving through the forms, you’re calmer than you have been
    for days.
    Tai Chi is a great form of exercise. I’ve done it a few times
    and wanted to learn a bit more for the scene in Her Wild Protector, where Marshall
    and Tara engage in this activity. I thoroughly enjoyed doing the research. Here
    are a few websites to check out if you want to see it in action:

    24 Form:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejB-jBtZqqU
    A very nicely put together video of a regular guy doing a Tai
    Chi warm up. At least I’m assuming he’s a regular guy. He could actually be a marital
    art master!

    How about you? What’s your favorite way to reduce stress?

    About the Book

    Book Title: Her Wild Protector
    Since waking up on the floor of her apartment after an electrical
    shock, Tara has felt…different. Colors a little
    off. Shadows where they shouldn’t be. But hot guys glowing blue light and a cheetah
    drinking a cup of coffee? That’s not something you see every day. And why doesn’t
    anyone else seem to notice?
    The pillar of blue light is Marshall, a Metamorph—a human who
    can change at will into an animal or energy form. His human form is damn fine-looking,
    but that doesn’t mean he isn’t crazy, with his stories about belonging to a secret
    government agency and rogue Metamorphs trying to kill her. Plus he wears sunglasses
    indoors—who still does that? But when there’s a panther scratching at her door,
    she has no choice but to trust Marshall,
    even if it means her life will never be the same.

    Author Naomi Bellina: Tai Chi is Sexy @TheGoddessNaomi #RLFblog

    Her Wild Protector
    If you’ve never watched someone do Tai Chi, grab the next opportunity
    and check it out. It’s a beautiful, graceful martial art form that Merriam-Webster
    defines as “an ancient Chinese discipline of meditative movements practiced
    as a system of exercises.” In my story Her Wild Protector, Tara says it looks like yoga on barbiturates. She’s kind of
    a smart ass!
    Tai Chi can be done by just about anyone and while it looks like
    nothing much is going on, it takes a fair amount of energy to perform. There are
    many benefits to moving through the forms, such as improving posture and increasing
    flexibility. There are plenty of good articles on the subject and here’s the link
    for a gorgeous video on YouTube, showing a gold medal champion do The 24 Form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejB-jBtZqqU
    I decided to have my hero, Marshall, practice Tai Chi for several
    reasons. It relieves stress because it’s good exercise and it requires discipline
    to practice regularly. Tai Chi is also sexy, in my opinion. It takes control and
    slow, steady movements. I imagine all that power and energy used for…you know,
    other purposes. Of course, I had to find a few more videos of good-looking guys
    doing Tai Chi. *sigh* Research is rough sometimes.
    In this one, a home-made clip, not only does the man show nice
    form (to me, anyway), the snow, trees in the background and the hint of sun make
    a nice video.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq75jyB28ME
    Last but not least, check out the trailer for Tai-Chi Master
    with (yum) Jet Li. Though a lot of this movie is fighting, you can see a few seconds
    of group Tai Chi being done. It’s mesmerizing!
