Many thanks to the Hatchette Book Group for providing five copies of Kate Perry’s new paranormal romance novel, Chosen by Desire (Guardians of Destiny), for me to give away!
It’s down to the wire and Carrie Woods is leaving China without the proof she needs for her thesis: Wei Lin’s journal. While on a final tour of the monastery, Carrie finally locates the scrolls and attempts to photograph the documents. Caught in a sticky situation, Carrie takes the scrolls, only to notice a mysterious monk watching her–the same monk that she’s seen each time she’s taken a tour. Unable to return the scrolls, she travels back to California and isn’t too thrilled when she notices the monk at the airport.
Maximillian Prescott first came to the monastery as an orphaned teenager when he inherited the Book of Metal from a distant uncle he hardly knew. After spotting a woman stealing from the monastery, he follows her to get back the documents he knows she’s stolen. Max is further intrigued when he finds out that the chatty woman is friends with his archrival, Rhys Llewellyn, and he will stop at nothing to get back everything he’s lost.

“Trying to sleep here, Mom. Go away.” -Mayhem
Still don’t know how sleeping in that pose can be comfortable for them…
Oh, an interesting plot synopsis!
I’m with Trek. Cool synopsis. A romance-mystery. Sounds fun!
Kitty ball!
That one sounds intriguing. Sign me up!
What a wonderfully cozy kitty.
That looks like a cool plot, I just might have to enter this one!
Put my name down for the book contest. Any hero named Maximillian has got my vote. : )
I feel a lot like Mayhem this morning. Yawn…
He-hee! I love how they really can sleep with one eye open.
I never understand it when my kitties sleep on top of their heads, but they make a comfy pillow for me that way!
Too few abs for my liking, but I do like the tattoo placement.
There – my .02 for the day. You’re welcome!
Well well, this sounds interesting, I shall have to check it out. Enter me, please!
Thanks!

My favorite genre is Paranormal, count me in! tWarner419@aol.com
Call me crazy, but if you turn Mayhem 90° she looks like she’s doing a perfect dive tuck! Practicing for 2012?
Chris- Shhhh! Puss is sleeping.
hmmm – that one sounds like a juicy novel. Ok – I’ll bite.
And see? May is purrfectly content being the headliner!(alebit it a bit grouchy while sleeping)
Is it just me or is Maximillian one of those almost standard romance novel names? I’m trying to remember if I have ever met a Maximillian or even seen the name in something outside of romance novels and am coming blank.
(I remember reading a vampire novel for review and wanting to bang my head against the wall, because the author had decided that every name had to mean something. It was like a train wreck. A super angsty train wreck.)
Sounds interesting. On the other hand, I agree with Seanna about the names. Though – I’m much more used to the name Rhys (or Llewellyn, for that matter) than Maximillian. Different sub-genres, perhaps?
I think Mayhem is dreaming that you buy her pink, furry pillows to sleep on. Perhaps with a feathery pink blanket to sleep under.
Please include me.
And never distrub a sleeping cat. Lessons learned from experience.
Awwww how cute! My puppy does the same thing. Sleeps in the weirdest positions,lol! Gotta love them though!

Shouldn’t her feet be farther over her head? lol.
Kitties get so little sleep and here you go putting the camera in May’s face and probably doing the flashy thing too. 🙂
