Violence: Yes Drinking: Yes Sex Scenes: Steamy ================= EXCERPT: Braeden tore away leaving me feeling cold, like the only leaf on a barren tree, a leaf left to tremble alone in the wind. He raked a hand through his hair while he paced the floor. He was tortured and scared, a man barely hanging on by a thread. Seconds dragged until he said thickly, "I don't understand any of this." "Because it makes no sense, right?" I snatched my barrette up with trembling hands and started fussing with my hair. "I've only known you a little over a month, yet it feels like a million years. And now I'm thinking-" "Don't." He stalked back over to me and grabbed my hands. "No more talking. No more thinking." His voice was rough and desperate. "Because if I allow myself to ponder this insanity-to try and understand it...I swear, I'll go mad." He inhaled deeply and pressed his forehead to mine. "I knew you were trouble the moment I saw you in that window. God help me." The Darkest Frost, Vol. 2 will be available in the fall 2015.EARLY REVIEWS: "Author Tanya Holmes...needs to write paranormal more often! This book was brilliant." Nerd Girl Reviews - 5 Stars "The best part of all is this book is full of plenty of steam. Tanya does not shy away from throwing in a healthy dose of smut to get hearts and other body parts throbbing...The Darkest Frost is a paranormal/gothic/ suspense romantic must read. There's something in there for everyone." Angie Loves Angst - 4.5 Stars "I loved it!!! Highly recommended to all paranormal romance lovers!" Mei's Reviews - 5 Stars "As with Tanya Holmes' contemporary romance/romantic suspense debut, Within Temptation, she has once again, given readers a plot that is different, unexpected, and with an unforeseeable twist." Jill's Reviews - 4.5 Stars "Toss in a dubious ghost, a crazy brother, assassins, angry relatives of the people Frost allegedly killed, and a mysterious old Polish man and hot, steamy, panty-melting sex & sensuality, and you've got one hell of a story." Enid Oliver - 5 Stars This book blew my mind... I LOVED it! Another one to add to my top favorites this year. K.T.

This has all elements of a GREAT story...superb and smart writing, fantastically unique plot line and characters that are well developed and intriguing." Author KL Kreig - 5 Stars "(The Darkest Frost) was filled with suspense, questions, plot twists, a gorgeous and mysterious doctor, a gorgeous twin brother, and some great sexual chemistry between the main characters.
