How was she supposed to work with someone like him? -#weekendwritingwarriors #sexysnippets from Bear's Beauty #romance #shifters #paranormal

Happy Sunday, lovelies!

I'm back at last. These last almost two months have been hectic. There's been holidays, dog drama and back to work stress. Things finally seem to be settling back into a routine, so I hope to be back for good.

There's also been writing in little stolen moments, and that brings me to today's snippet! I know it's early for Christmas, but my story, Bear's Beauty (A Christmas Realm Tale) got accepted for publication!! Yay!

Magnus. She must have heard wrong. Surely, she hadn’t been partnered with the only guy which made her so nervous she wanted to either throw up or hide under a blanket. With him.
A large masculine hand appeared on her peripheral vision coming to rest on the tabletop next to her pad. Her gaze traveled up, across a strong arm, a corded neck, a neatly trimmed blond beard, sensuous lips, wide nose and eyes so blue she could easily swim in them.
“Guess we’re stuck together.”
A shiver racked her body, spreading its tentacles across her lower abdomen and landing with a resonant thud on her clit, bringing her body alive with desire. Her cheeks burned and the knot in her stomach reappeared tightening to the point of leaving her breathless. How in Santa’s name was she supposed to work with someone like Magnus?

Bear's Beauty (A Christmas Realm Tale 2)


A rare mix between a pixie and a human, Melody Beacon is not your ordinary woman. Challenged all her life for not being one or the other, she considers herself unlovable. So when Magnus Koldklaw tries to seduce her, she can’t help but think he’s mocking her. After all, why would a man like him want to be with a woman like her?
One look at Melody Beacon was all it took for bear shifter Magnus Koldklaw to decide he wanted her. One whiff of her scent, and he’s certain she’s his mate.

Unfortunately, Melody doesn’t seem to feel the same way. However, when they’re forced to work together on a secret project for Santa, they are irrevocably drawn to each other. And when Magnus discovers it’s her insecurities keeping them apart, he becomes determined to show her she’s worthy of love and so much more.

 

The Beauty of Forever (A Christmas Realm Tale I)

Picture
Once dead, always dead. 

Christopher Beaufort works in what could easily be the most cheerful place on earth, Santa’s Christmas Realm, but as a vampire, he is nothing more than a shadow among the living. 

Worn out by the demands of his job as Chief Toy Officer, Santa assigns a human woman to help him, Samantha Kraus. Tantalized by the fiery red-head, Christopher makes it his business to seduce her, but as he does, something within him begins to stir. 

Life is a gift in which every moment counts. 

When Samantha Kraus accepted the job of assistant manager at Santa’s, she expected elves, fairies and maybe some shifters, but definitely not vampires. Least of all did she imagine her boss would be one of them or that she’d be attracted to him. 
Though she tries to remain professional, Samantha finds herself falling for Christopher. But, can a vampire’s heart ever beat again?

The Creature before her wasn't human -#weekendwritingwarriors #sexysnippets from The Beauty of Forever #romance #vampires #paranormal

Happy Sunday, lovelies!

 One week of vacation already gone! It's incredible how fast time flies! My sister, who was visiting last week, leaves today, so I'll probably be late in checking your awesome snippets. 

Also, I won't be around next weekend as I'll be visiting a friend in London and then my sister in Edinburgh. :-D 

On to the snippet!  Today, I've chosen to share a bit more on The Beauty of Forever. This is Samantha's first reaction to Christopher.
Enjoy!
XoXo,
Elyzabeth

Samantha held out her hand. She hoped the tremble coursing through her wasn’t visible and her cheeks weren’t burning too badly. She didn’t know why she was reacting this way. She’d worked with plenty of good-looking men before and they had feelings, emotions, and problems like everybody else. They were all humans.
 

Christopher grasped her hand and she bit back a gasp. His cold fingers wrapped tightly around her, squeezing. Abruptly, the chill ended, converting itself into a warmth which blanketed over her like
hot cocoa after a day in the snow.
 

Except, the creature before her wasn’t human. He was something else entirely.

I'd like to introduce you -- #weekendwritingwarriors #sexysnippets from The Beauty of Forever #romance #vampires #paranormal

Happy Sunday, lovelies!

I'm finally on holiday! *dances* August was another super busy work month so I've hardly been blogging, but I have been writing. Woot! I'm hoping to get some more writing done this month. Currently, I'm working on a Christmas Realm 2 and while I was prepping to get to it, I reread The Beauty of Forever, A Christmas Realm 1. I'm still soooooo in love with that story and its characters, so today, I'm having a throwback Sunday and sharing a snippet from it. 
The moment Christopher first met Samantha...

Enjoy!
XoXo,
Elyzabeth

“Quite all right, quite all right, we can talk now.” Santa said,
patting him on the arm in a fatherly fashion. “In any case, my reason
for calling you stands at my side. Christopher Beaufort, I’d like to
introduce you to Miss Samantha Kraus.”

He fixed his gaze on her again, feasting on her features: the
wide, green eyes, the color of emeralds, framed by dark lashes; the
freckles on the bridge of her nose; the pouty mouth, painted with a
dash of red. He roved lower. The fitted green dress accentuated her
curves. Hunger of an entirely different kind rushed through him, a
bolt of desire traveling straight to his groin.

“Hello, Samantha.”

Life is a gift -- #weekendwritingwarriors #sexysnippets from The Beauty of Forever #8sunday #vampires #romance


Happy Sunday and Happy New Year's Eve! I can't believe it's almost 2018! Where has the time gone off too?
I'm not big on New Year Resolution, but I do have a mental list of things I want to do like read and write more! And with the end of 2017, I just want to thank everyone for being there and here's to another year of reading and writing fantastic stories.

Today I’m once more sharing a snippet from my holiday story, The Beauty of Forever (A Christmas Realm Tale).  My excuse? None really. I just love this story. LOL  I did, however, choose what I consider a snippet full of hope. (You know, for the beginning of a New Year and all that :p) 

Also, I wanted to thank everyone who voted for my stories at Evernight's Readers' Choice Awards. Lawless, the anthology of which my story, Hitman's Angel, was a part of, won best Dark Romance and Break Me was the runner up! So big thank you! 

Enjoy the snippet and may the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018 be absolutely AWESOME! 
Xoxo,
Elyzabeth

“What changed?”
“I did,” she said. “I decided I was going to enjoy the little things in life and I started to see the magic in everything.” She spread her arms. “Every moment counts. Life is a gift. We could choose to live our lives with anger and hate or with love and joy. I chose the latter.”

He leaned over to press the button to the last floor and his fragrance filled her lungs. Winter oranges and cloves. Heat touched every pore in her body, slowly churning and awakening to the presence of the man at her side. She peeked at him from beneath her lashes. Tall, probably around six-foot-four, he was slender with an air of elegance which spoke of times long gone. He appeared to be in his mid- or early-thirties. His features, from the chiseled cheekbones, straight nose, firm lips, to masculine jaw were flawless, sculpted by the hand of a master. The elevator lurched to a stop. The doors chimed and opened slowly, revealing a reception area decorated in greens, reds, and whites, to the side, a large fir tree glistened with fairy lights.
 “Welcome to Santa’s office.”
