Series Tour with Excerpt + Guest Post + Giveaway: Black Hills Wolves Series by Celia Breslin @CeliaBreslin


Diamond Moon by Celia Breslin
Series: Black Hills Wolves #12
Publication date: March 27th, 2015

Synopsis:
Human-wolf hybrid Darci Diamond spends every full moon locked in auntie's basement in Southern Oregon. Her excruciating shifts terrify her, the last one causing her heart to stop beating. Seeking a cure, she journeys to Los Lobos.

Ross Luparell returns to the struggling Tao pack, using his millions made in the tech industry to build homes for pack families in need. He never imagined he would also find his one true mate. But when a hybrid with the biggest green eyes he's ever seen lands on his doorstep in the middle of a wicked summer storm, there's no denying it. She's the one.

She wants a normal human life, free from pain-filled shifts. He won't give up on her Wolf, and will do whatever it takes to help her accept her true nature. But can he convince her to trust him with her heart?


Under a Mating Moon by Celia Breslin
Series: Black Hills Wolves #27
Publication date: September 18th, 2015

Synopsis:
British Alpha wolf Jake Marsden spends his days among humans, pursuing a lucrative music career and avoiding his pack's politics. When his current DJ tour takes him to the US, he stops in Los Lobos to visit family, and runs into the one Wolf he never wants to see again--the mate who rejected his claim.

While visiting her brother in Los Lobos, free-spirited Lexi Luparell is shocked to encounter the Wolf she'd denied when they were teens. Now she must face her guilt for the cruel way she spurned him all those years ago, make amends, and admit the truth. Jake was right all along--they're meant to mate.

Lexi would love to explore the mate concept and her overwhelming attraction to virile, Alpha Wolf Jake, but he wants nothing to do with her. How can she break down his defenses when she's the reason he built them in the first place?

Jake dates only human women now. Lexi had her shot at being his mate, and she threw it away. But when her life is threatened, he may have to rethink his position and do whatever it takes to claim his one true mate.


Jasmine Moon by Celia Breslin
Series: Black Hills Wolves #49
Publication date: June 2nd, 2016

Synopsis:
Tech mogul and workaholic wolf Evan Luparell has little time for distractions but takes a break for his brother's wedding in South Dakota. When asked to escort another wedding attendee from the airport to Los Lobos, he agrees. Then he meets the curvy spitfire, and she ignores him.

Designer and wolf Mina Carver didn't mean to be rude to the handsome, glowering man claiming to be her ride, but she was busy working. Now she must endure a ride to the Black Hills with the cranky but sexy dominant wolf. Unexpected mating energy sparks between them, but still--should she dismiss, or kiss him?

Kisses win and they agree upon a no-strings fling. But with each wedding activity throwing them together, and their powerful chemistry and mate compatibility complicating matters, can two workaholics truly have their fun then walk away?

Excerpt from Jasmine Moon
Of all the insufferable, stubborn, cocky... she crossed her arms. "This is war."

"Bring it, Short Stuff."

Mina could almost feel steam exploding from her ears. Oh, no he didn't call her that.

She slammed a lid on some irksome childhood memories and opened her mouth to really lay into him then clamped it shut. Anger wasn't working. Time to switch gears.

She gave him one slow blink and licked her lower lip.

His gaze shot to her mouth.

She planted her hands on the arms of his chair and leaned in close, exposing a generous heap of cleavage in her V-neck sweater. "oh I will, Tough Guy. Watch me."

His nostrils flared as he scented her. He leaned forward a smidge, almost closing the distance between them, but she straightened, spun, and headed for the door, swishing her hips for all she was worth.

Chew on that, Mr. Rejection. Her inner wolf harrumphed in agreement.

A wave of dominant power smacked her in the back. Evan's large hands snagged her by the waist, and he turned her to face him, pinning her against the door. His mouth took hers in a fierce kiss, frying her brain and boiling her blood. She growled and kissed him back with equal aggression. He lifted her higher against the door, and she wrapped her legs around his waist, squeezing hard. Damn, the things the man did to her. No one had ever made her feel so out of control, needy, and angry all at the same time.

She grabbed his head, broke off the kiss, and glared at him. "I still don't like you."

"Right back at ya, Red."

"Good." You sexy jerk.

"Fine." He claimed her mouth again, swallowing any further words.


Guest Post
Interview: Jake & Lexi
Celia: Hi Everyone, thanks for visiting the tour! I'm here today with Jake and Lexi from Diamond Moon. I'll let them introduce themselves...

Jake: Hi, I'm Jacob Marsden, but my friends and family call me "Jake." My fans know me as DJ Lone Wolf.

Lexi: And I'm Alexina Luparell. Call me Lexi. Everyone does.

Celia: Please describe yourself for the readers? What is your hair color? Eye color?

Jake: Sandy blond, I suppose. Blue eyes.

Lexi: He's so modest. Sexy, sky-blue eyes. As for me, I have light brown hair and amber brown eyes. Jake says they're the color of whiskey.

Celia: And where were you born? Where is home, currently?

Jake: I was born in Bath, England. My family relocated to Indiana where I was raised until I was fourteen. Then we moved to Coventry, England, where my father is the Alpha of the local pack. I have an apartment in London, but I'm currently on tour in the U.S., so I suppose you could say I'm living on the road... and, I've stopped in Los Lobos, South Dakota for a brief break. I have family there.

Lexi: I was born in Los Lobos but raised in Indiana, right alongside this doofus here. *nudges Jake* I currently live in Southern California. I'm in Los Lobos right now to help my brother plan his wedding.

Celia: What a nice sister you are! Speaking of family, who are you closest to?

Jake: My sister Jade, though we don't see each other that often due to my travels. When I was a kid, I spent most of my time with her and her best friend. *points at Lexi*

Lexi: *waves* Yep, that would be me, the best friend. I'm closest to my brother Ross, and to Jake's sister Jade.

Celia: Great! Let's get deep: what or who is the greatest love of your life?

Jake: The "who" is Lexi. I've known she was my mate since we were kids. She, on the other hand, refused to believe me back then. The "what" is music. I love composing in many genres, including modern classical, contemporary jazz, and electronic, particularly electro and techno. *smiles* Yes, I'm aware of how unusual that is.

Lexi: Aw, isn't he sweet? And crazy talented? My "what" is art. I'm really into studying the human form. And I design avatars for video games. It's a fun gig.

Celia: What is the quality you most like in a person?

Jake: Compassion and intelligence.

Lexi: There's nothing sexier than a guy with brains... *ogles Jake* ...And tattoos and piercings.

Celia: What do you most value in a friendship?

Jake: Loyalty.

Lexi: Ditto on that. Unconditional acceptance is good, too.

Celia: Unconditional love and acceptance sounds good to me, too! Last question for today: which word or phrase do you tend to use too much?

Jake: *chuckles* Lexi would tell you I call her "Sunflower" too often. But I know she secretly loves it.

Lexi: Busted! And since we're going for pet names here, I'd say, "J-Bird." *smirks* I intend to continue overusing it, too.

Celia: Thanks for chatting today, Jake and Lexi! And thanks again, dear blog visitors, for checking out the tour for Diamond Moon, Under a Mating Moon, and Jasmine Moon!
