The Final Bite by Naomi Valkyrie
Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – M/M, Paranormal Romance
Cover Designer – EmCat Designs
Every ten years, the gods choose a paranormal being who has been unjustly killed and offers them a second chance at life. The catch? They must take a mate, and they only have three days to do it.
Oh, and they can only choose once. If the person they choose for a mate rejects them – it’s straight back to paranormal purgatory.
Fortunately for me, I, Quinnlan Trinity, am the chosen one.
Unfortunately for me, the trickster gods must have gotten into the mix because they drop me at an abandoned motel in the middle of nowheresville with three days’ worth of clothing, sans underwear, and a wad of cash. Seriously?
I’ve got two days left when I find a guy bleeding out, thanks to a suspicious group of wolf shifters. I could save him, but if I do, that means choosing him as my mate and risking rejection. Is he the one? Or, by saving him, am I dooming myself to a trip back to the afterlife?

Tasha
He was handsome, confident, nice, smart – a good guy.

Was it too soon for me to be thinking about love again?

She was sweet, kind, caring – a nurse and a birder.
I really liked her. Maybe more than liked.
And I’d only spent two hours – three, tops – with her.

Joy Holiday traded small-town life for a fast-paced city career a lifetime ago. She never intended to return to the dusty mining town her estranged mother called home. But when she inherits her mom’s crumbling building, she’s forced to confront the past she thought she’d left behind. The dilapidated structure symbolizes memories Joy would rather bury, and she plans to demolish it and move on for good—so she hires the guy with the best reputation in town.
Charlie Hunnicutt is a hometown boy who has spent years painstakingly restoring each historic building brick by brick. Unbeknownst to Joy, the town’s passionate preservationist sees nothing but potential in the old structure. It’s a treasure, a piece of the town’s soul worth saving. So when Joy, with demolition on her mind, sweeps into town in her sleek BMW, it’s all Charlie can do to keep his cool.
What should be a straightforward business transaction quickly turns into a battle of wills as the two butt heads at every turn. But while they clash over the building’s fate, an undeniable attraction begins to grow between them.
As their connection deepens, Joy and Charlie are forced to face their conflicting visions and decide whether love can bridge the gap between their worlds. Where history clashes with the future, love might just be the blueprint.

How can a man compete with a memory?
Logical, cautious attorney Barrett Brockbank has two priorities—settling the clients’ cases from the firm’s recent court win and deciding what to do with the rest of his life. But when he chases a thief down a dark alley in New Orleans’ French Quarter, he comes face-to-face with a stunning singer named Agata, who enchants and then rejects him.

These days she writes urban fantasy novels featuring strong, relatable heroines who navigate both supernatural and real-world challenges with resilience and wit. She wants to showcase badass women who continue to grow and kick ass well into their 40s and beyond. Probably because she’s beyond 40. She wants women to know their lives don’t have to be less spectacular over 40 and that the badass years are ahead of them.

In the cutthroat world of professional sports, I’m the agent who always calls the shots. Until a decade-old feud with hockey superstar Banks Bennet resurfaces, and I’m forced to play nice.
When his agent drops him and rumors of a trade swirl through the league faster than a puck on a breakaway, I find myself in the dreaded role of Banks’s new agent. There’s no doubt I can save his career from crashing into the boards, but only if we don’t strangle each other first.
All I need to do is whip this man-baby into shape and negotiate an epic contract that will establish me once and for all as the top hockey agent in the league. No problem, right? But between babysitting Banks, battling perimenopausal mood swings, and fighting this annoying attraction to my client, I’m facing a hat trick of challenges.
Not everything about Banks is what it seems. Under all that bravado and childish behavior lies a sensitive and considerate guy who values more than just his time on the ice–leaving me to wonder if maybe there’s more to life than just wins and losses.
If I’m not careful, my emotions might have me losing control and throwing away the professional playbook for a shot at happily ever after…and that’s not how this game is played.
Tropes:
forbidden romance (agent x player)
menopausal woman at the top of her profession
slow burn
forced proximity
pro hockey
hilarious alpha hero

Dagmara is a Montreal-based mother of two, who is committed to children’s education and emotional well-being. Born in Poland, and living in Canada, Dagmara Sitek wears many hats—a mom, a wife, and a digital marketer in her 9-to-5 world.
 Once a kid who loved drawing and writing, she jumped into writing children’s books because she realized something important – not all kids get a fair shot at life. Her debut as an author merges childhood passions with a new mission – to bring hope and awareness to children’s struggles.


“Loris Opens Up His Heart” by Dagmara Sitek was inspired by the tragic story of 8-year-old Kamilek from Czestochowa, who died due to mistreatment by his stepfather. It is a testament to the power of empathy and compassion. It models positive interactions and helps kids put themselves in someone else’s shoes. More importantly, it encourages them to help one another and overcome fears.

In “Sarge: Going Deep,” Dr. Stu Ledwith has spun another tale with Sarge in the lead role.

In this day and age with UFOs and UAPs being seen by military personnel and civilians alike, it seemed only appropriate that I include them in my latest book, “Sarge.” ETs, extraterrestrial beings, have been a part of my life for many years now. I have talked with many and have taken pictures of UFOs with my phone’s camera. You can see three of them on the cover. I was lucky, I guess, that the soul of a dear friend of mine cared to share her deepest fantasies with me and gave me permission to write them as I saw fit. It was a nice fit since I love to write soul’s stories. All of my books include the story of at least one soul. My lifetime work has been to help souls heal and arrive at the destination here that most fit them and their particular gifts thus helping their human hosts heal as well. I hope you have enjoyed my books and have shared them with your friends.

Holland Morriss has never really met a guy she could crush on. It makes sense, she lived her whole life in the same town with the same people. It’s just really hard to have a crush on someone you’ve seen eat crayons in kindergarten.
Then at the start of her junior year of high school, her family makes a sudden move to a whole different state. Holland’s new life plan is to keep her head down and graduate early so she can hightail it back to Colorado and start college with her best friend Alicia.
That is, until she meets not one, but two perfect guys. The kind of guys she’s read about in novels. The type she’s dreamed about forever. If Holland thought life was complicated before she had two crushes, she was super wrong. Really, she had no idea.

BOOKBUB – Productivity is Power: 5 Liberating Practices for College Students by Hillary Rettig

Can’t finish your work?
Can’t start it?
Feel like your grades don’t reflect your potential?
These days, there’s more pressure on college students than perhaps ever before. A bad economy makes it even more important to get great grades, get great internships or work-study experiences, and to graduate with a great plan. The competition at every stage is intense, and so is the stress. Meanwhile, social media isn’t helping. Not only is it massively distracting, it’s full of competitive, critical, negative, and otherwise destructive messages.
At the same time, you’re probably dealing with all the “normal” productivity challenges that most people face, including procrastination, perfectionism, and time crunch.
Traditional productivity books for general audiences can help some, but what’s really needed is a book that addresses college students’ unique needs and productivity challenges. Productivity is Power is that book. It will help you:
Locate, understand, and overcome your barriers to productivity and success so that you can become immediately more productive, successful, and happy.
Start your work on time, work steadily on it, and hand it on time. (Or early!)
Work through problems and obstacles. (No procrastination or derailments!)
Handle mistakes, failures, and other setbacks.
Manage your time well, so that you can succeed academically while also living a healthy, happy, and balanced life. And,
Work more effectively with your professors, teaching assistants, and other academic personnel.
And much more! Productivity is Power also offers many unique, and uniquely effective, solutions, including:
Re-Empowerment. How to locate and remedy the specific forms of disempowerment that keep you from doing your work.
Compassionate Objectivity. The mindset that neutralizes perfectionism while maintaining accountability and a success orientation.
Timed Work Intervals, Randomization, “Dialoguing with the Critic,” and other solutions to perfectionism.
The Joyful Dance, a highly effective work method founded on principles of personal empowerment and compassionate objectivity.
Values-Based Time Management, which helps you achieve not just maximum empowerment and productivity in the short term, but maximum success and happiness over the course of your career.
Many solutions for common writing and work problems including not finishing, not submitting, over-researching, constantly starting over, and avoidance (of difficult parts of the project). Also, for efficient decision-making both within and around projects.
Solutions for coping with criticism, rejection, and perceived failures. And,
Solutions for “digital distraction,” online harassment, and other 21st Century obstacles to work and success.
…all of which will help today’s undergraduate not just succeed, but thrive.
Don’t procrastinate on achieving your full potential! Get Productivity is Power now for yourself, or for the student, teacher, counselor, advisor, coach, or parent in your life.
