A Kristen Painter ReRelease - Have You Read All Fired Up?

BLURB

Desire can heal the coldest heart—or burn it to ashes.


Alrik Gunn knows from bitter experience that change isn’t always for the better. From the woman who annihilated his Viking clan to the goddess who tricked him into centuries of slavery, betrayal has dogged his existence. The Goddess of Love is going to let him avenge his family, but for a price. As a Phoenix—a merchant of change—he must grant a human woman three chances to change her life.

When former Irish dancer Calleigh McCarthy tosses a carved-bird statue that belonged to her ex into a roaring bonfire, she unwittingly summons an honest-to-god Phoenix. A sexy, irresistible Viking who offers her an unbelievable bonus—three get-out-of-her-crappy-life-free cards. She’ll take it, even if it means guarding her cautious heart against the dark pain behind Alrik’s eyes.

Alrik has vowed never to let love sway him again, but Calleigh’s innocence and kindness throw him off balance. Yet even as his need for revenge fades and his love for her grows, he is bound to let her make her choices without interfering.

One wrongly chosen word, and any chance for happiness—for either of them—will go up in flames.

My Review
 
So this book was originally released back in 2010. Whilst I didn't read it then, I got the paperback a few years later and I am thrilled that it is available again so that new readers can find it. 

This is a standalone paranormal romance and has all the things that we have come to expect from a Kristen Painter novel. If you like the Nocturne Falls books then you will love this. I personally am a huge fan of the slightly more unusual creature heroes, so this one has a special place in my heart (although no, it doesn't beat out Dead Man's Hand, and yes Vampires Still Rule All).  As a bonus there is talk of drinking Guinness, which really isn't too relevant in the overall scheme of things - but I LOVE Guinness so bonus marks for that!

If you want a quick, happy, read that won't leave you screaming about the evil cliffhangers (*Cough Sucker Punch Cough*) then this is one for you!


An easy 5 stars from me!

​For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about - here's a YouTube clip - but it isn't actually relevant to this other than my fandom quirkiness - so feel free to scroll down for the important stuff!
As I have mentioned before, 2021 is going to see the start of regular Zoom chats!

And I am excited to announce that Author Nely Cab  is joining me for an Author Talk!

We will be talking about her books, and whatever else comes up, but most importantly she will be answering some of YOUR questions!
 
Whilst book questions are ALWAYS welcome – feel free to think a little outside the box too! You know how this works – a Melanie’s Muses video is always a little unexpected! I can't promise we will get through all of them but you know I will do my best to get through as many as we can!!

**Questions must be posted by 11.59pm Tuesday June 22nd 2021 ET. Video will be posted at a future date*

LUCIFER 5B - Breakdown, Easter Eggs, Spoilers, & Theories!

6/11/2021

Comments

 
Click the picture below to watch the zoom call I had with Greg, Author Susan Harris, and Muser Shannon Watts!  The main chat is just over an hour- the rest are outtakes!!!

Scroll down for a breakdown of the Easter Eggs (References) that I noticed and talked about during the chat. (These will be updated as I rewatch if I note any others).

I also included videos for my top 10 Lucifer Episodes, the referenced Musical Number from The Magicians (note - it wasn't the same song - but it is still better), and the Season 4 musical episode from the finale!

Picture

​In the video we discuss my apparent obsession with supernatural characters having to pee. I present the Payback Board posted by Chris Rafferty on his twitter. I have circled the "Pee In Pudding" - My argument being it just says "Pee In Pudding" which implies Lucifer is going to pee in it himself - thus can pee. I win!
