Beat the boredom. Invest some time in a series new-to-you! Grab the Lustful Possession Saga books #99cents each thru May 31st #paranormal #darkromance & more Book Deals!

Hello Friends, Readers & Visitors:

Thanks for stopping by. If, like me, you are having trouble occupying your time, I have some deals to share. Strangely, I have time to read and write, but honestly, I don't even want to. My heart's just not in it. I was struggling with diminished ambition before the pandemic, and it's even worse now. So, I've been house cleaning, as I know most of you are — Have you ever washed your hands so much in your whole life? — And my hubby and I have been busy clearing up the flower beds in the garden. The weather is only now beginning to be nice enough here in Ontario, to get out there. The wind still has a chill to it. We had wet snow last week. The flurries continue this week, but with no real accumulation. But my hardy little daffodils don't care, they are up along with the grape hyacinths. Oh, and my red Trillium is in bloom. [Fun fact: The white Trillium is the official flower of Ontario.] I think nature is the only thing that's 'normal' this year.




Anyway, 'nuff about me. If you are looking for some reads to occupy some time or for some much needed distraction — if even for just a little bit — the following list contains .99¢ reads, free reads to download, and bargain books on sale, in a variety of sub-genres, though all adult erotic romance.

Please stay safe and well.

Take Care, folks
Kymmie
aka H K Carlton





While home bound why not start a series New To You? Like the Lustful Possession Saga — the haunting serial that breaks all the romance rules! Each book in the series is only .99¢ until May 31st at eXtasy Books!

Meet the O’Cairnnon’s — a fate most do not survive...

A seemingly harmless paranormal investigation sparks a series of haunting events that ultimately sends an international team of supernatural investigators to Ireland and to one of the most haunted destinations in all of Europe… Castle Cairnnon. A saga sweeping several generations of characters, in an unsettling and at times horrific tale with many twists and turns, and a stunning conclusion you won’t see coming.

Travel Through Time and Unravel the Mystery of Cairnnon Castle


Please note: Though this collection of short stories is predominantly dark erotic paranormal—at times verging on horror—it runs the gamut in sub-genre cross-overs and eras—from contemporary to historical time-travel, and back again. The series also incorporates both m/f and m/m couplings, plus scenes with multi-partner interaction, m/m/m and m/f/f




Part 1 - Meet Me in the Dark
(m/f, paranormal, erotic, contemporary, ghosts, possession)

Crishtin Davenport thought she was attending a simple Halloween event—a good scare to get the blood pumping. Little does she know her actions that night would unleash an ancient evil.

Part 2 - Dark Foursome
(m/f, paranormal, erotic, contemporary, ghosts, possession)

A foursome takes on a whole new aspect when a fledgling couple, is hijacked by two randy spirits, who then use their corporeal bodies to recapture the sexual pleasures they enjoyed while inhabiting the physical world.

The saga takes a sudden medieval time-travel twist in Part 3 - The Fall of Cairnnon Castle (m/f, time-travel, Ireland, historical, paranormal, dark erotic, verging on horror)

Cairnnon Castle is one of the most haunted places on earth and home to one of the most evil entities ever documented. When an enthusiastic troop of paranormal investigators descends on the ancient stronghold, all hell breaks loose.

Meet the O'Cairnnon's - a fate most do not survive...


Part 4 - Rising From the Darkness
(m/m, paranormal, erotic, contemporary)

U.S. paranormal investigators return to Ireland to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Fall of Castle Cairnnon. But what they find instead might set the paranormal community on it’s collective ear.

Part 5 - Dark Seed
(paranormal, erotic, contemporary, m/f story with m/m interaction)

The supernatural investigators' astounding discovery at Cairnnon Castle, can only be described as a miracle.

Or perhaps one blessing, is just another curse.


Part 6 - Bending Darkness
(m/f, paranormal, erotic, time-travel, historical)

The Cairnnon curse threatens to turn one woman's dreams of happily-ever-after into a hellish nightmare.

And Part 7 - Dark Defeat - The stunning conclusion to the Lustful Possession saga (paranormal, dark erotic, time-travel, historical, an m/f story with f/f and m/f/f interaction)

Hell-bent on saving her children, a mother will stop at nothing to defeat the evil that stalks her family, or at the very least, she’ll die trying.

Evil never gambled on battling one pissed off mother!



Each book is only .99¢ until May 31st at eXtasy Books

Hailey Hollinger has it all—a great husband, a fantastic career in journalism, good friends…and one hot brother-in-law who won't stay out of her fantasies.

When Hailey was sixteen she thought her boyfriend, Brent, was the best-looking guy around. That was until he introduced her to his older brother, Mike. From that moment on she had the biggest crush on him and he became the star of all her teenage fantasies.

Hailey's all grown up now and has been married to Brent for three years. They have great careers, a nice house—they enjoy life and each other. Everything is supposed to be perfect. Except that pesky little infatuation with her husband's brother has never completely gone away. A crush, by nature and definition, is supposed to be short-lived and should diminish over time. But, unfortunately for Hailey, it hasn't, and it's beginning to mess with what she thinks should be perfection. And, if her life is so great, why does she then find herself groping her brother-in-law in the cab of his truck like some sex-starved teenager? Or the more pressing question yet—why is he groping her right back?

Sin Bin is always .99¢ at Smashwords and all other vendors.


When Daunté Bennifetto left home to attend seminary school, he never intended to return to the small town he’d grown up in. But it would seem God had other plans.

After Father Eton’s sudden death, Daunté finds himself in charge of his childhood parish and all of its parishioners, including Camillah Lima, the woman he can’t seem to forget. And true to form, the wild and spirited girl he remembers hasn’t changed a bit, headlining at a club as an exotic dancer.

When Daunté runs into Mrs. Lima—Camillah's disapproving mother—she begs him to intervene in her daughter's life, perhaps setting her back on the path to righteousness. Because of their sordid past, he knows he should stringently refuse, yet he can't seem to stay away. Night after night, Father Bennifetto finds himself worshiping at Cam’s feet, in a club appropriately named, The Sin Bin.

Two college students take 'Don't Get Mad Get Even' to a whole new level ~ Now We're Even ~ Only #99cents thru July 6th

So Many Sales, So Little Time!
July is jam-packed with Bargains!


Callie takes Don't Get Mad, Get Even to a whole new level... 

College students Callie Read and Haines Bennett rub each other the wrong way. And that’s the way they like it. But there’s an undercurrent of sexual interest that has their mutual friends betting that it’s only a matter of time before they’re doing it the right way.

But after a typical Friday night partying at the local campus pub, Hainsey takes it upon himself to teach Callie a much needed lesson about teasing the wrong guy—for her own good, of course. 
But tying her up while she’s passed out, he takes things a little too far.

The next weekend Callie retaliates, getting even, and giving Hainsey some overdue instruction of his own. The proverbial tit for tat.

Can they bury the hatchet and call it even or have they effectively ruined an already precarious relationship with their raunchy one-upmanship?
