FEVERS is a novel unlike any you have ever read. Exotic adventure, white knuckled suspense, torrid romance, and a haunting portrait of three damaged individuals - one man who has turned beast, one who must confront the beast within himself, and the woman torn between them.
Rio de Janeiro. 1984.
There are rumors that somewhere deep in the steamy rainforest of the Amazon a man, once civilized, is hiding in green shadows. To the primitive Brazilian Indios, he is considered their long-awaited "pale-skinned messiah." Others believe he is an evil god with powers to stir the native masses to a frenzied, killing pitch. And others suspect he might be Michael Fevers.

And others suspect he might be Michael Fevers.
Into the lush tropics comes a troubled American, rebellious journalist, embittered Vietnam vet, desperate soldier of fortune. William Straw, who soon forms an uneasy alliance with a beautiful anthropologist, continues his tortured upriver journey-from jungle shantytown to opulent plantation, from explosive passion to brutal murder. Whether he is pursuing a story, an adventure, or a chance to finally exorcise his own inner demons, nothing will prepare William Straw for the sudden violence and bizarre cruelty of the one who is waiting ahead -- Michael Fevers.
Praise for 'Fevers' by Joel Homer:
"Very engrossing novel. It felt a bit like reading a modern version of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. The plot moves quickly and smoothly. The excitement never ends."-Gerald Loev, Amazon Reviewer

“I received a copy of this book for an honest review”
Fevers is a novel unlike any I have ever readIt’s a very gritty, raw and shocking Novel. If you are not a “Fan” of Blood and Gore, this will be a very difficult read.
The story started off a little slow, but felt rushed once William went into the Jungle but no detail was left out. The Characters are well written.
William Straw, an American Expatriate Reporter takes a journey through the Amazon in search for the “Messiah” Rumours has it that Michael Fevers is this So Called “Messiah” or is he the “Beast” of the Jungle?
This Novel has Unusual / Bizarre Adventure’s, Suspense that will keep you at the edge of your Seat and a little Romance.
At Times I did need a break from the book as it can get too much.
This Book is not for the faint hearted

Imperfections by Shaniel Watson. #Romance #Giveaway "Will the love and desire I feel for the one man I've ever truly wanted destroy me? Am I willing to risk it all, for a chance at everlasting love?"
SYNOPSIS:
Who knew falling in
love with my best friend had the potential to single-handedly destroy my entire
family?
For
as long as I could remember I've been in love with
sexy, lawyer extraordinaire Nicholas Alexander. We always had a certain
chemistry growing up. Especially after we shared one passionate, forbidden,
perfect kiss as teenagers. For years I hoped he could look past my
overprotective brothers and our age difference so we could be more than
friends, I was wrong. Four years ago I left New York and my heart behind. Now
I'm back to stake a claim on the only man I've ever loved. But unbeknownst to
me, things are way more complicated than I could imagine when I learn he's
engaged, to my sister.
Will
the love and desire I feel for the one man I've ever truly wanted destroy me?
Am I willing to risk it all, for a chance at everlasting love?
Catherine
Reed is the one woman I couldn't have but the one I always wanted. She was my
best friend’s baby sister which means she was definitely off limits to me and
anyone else if I had my way. Not even having a merry-go-round of beautiful
girls could stop me from wanting her. Watching her leave was hard but I knew
giving in to what I wanted back then would ruin her...us. All I've ever wanted
was for her to be happy and to see her beautiful smile.
I haven't gotten to
where I am by always doing what's right. She's Back. I want her. I have every
intention of making her Mine.

Release Day: Run by Gillian Zane. Zombies, sex, romance and carnage…you can’t get any better than this. #Giveaway #Apocalypse #Zombies
Zombies are on the loose in New Orleans and of all the End of the World scenarios, Alexis Winter wasn’t prepared for this one. But, an apocalypse is an apocalypse and she should have this covered. She has been “prepping” for the last three years. The problem is location and timing. She’s stuck downtown and she has to get to her house on the outskirts of the city so she can get her supplies and bug-in (for the “non-preppers” this means hole up and stay safe).
Agreeing to work on a Saturday is now coming back to bite her on the ass big time. Hopefully, it won’t be a literal bite by the walking dead.
Luck favors the prepared, and as luck would have it, it comes in the form of the ridiculously hot Blake Miller. Former military man, current mercenary, Blake Miller, the man with the plan, his goal: steal a boat and trek up the Mississippi until they find safety. Alexis thinks this is a great plan and she decides to team up with Blake. The two team up in unexpected ways as they find they can’t keep their hands off of each other even when the world is falling down around them.
Can Alexis and Blake survive the end of the world, and if they do make it through the night, find a place that is safe and secure? Can their newfound attraction lead them down the road to love or heartbreak?
Zombies, sex, romance and carnage…you can’t get any better than this.
