Cloaked
by Taylor Hobbs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical
Fantasy Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
As
the Cloaked Shadow, Fawkes has made his career breaking into prisons for any
contract with a large enough purse. He takes advantage of the kingdom's
impending revolution by playing both sides of the conflict. Each rescue
contract he fulfills turns a tidy profit until he angers the wrong duke.
Charlotte
is a criminal-in-training who yearns to crack her mentor’s guarded façade, but
is unprepared to confront the depths of his dark past. As her sense of right
and wrong blurs, Charlotte discovers just how far she will go for the Cloaked
Shadow and the sacrifices he requires.
Now
hunted throughout the land, Fawkes must face long-buried secrets in order to
survive, but they could destroy him. Charlotte risks everything, including her
heart, to set Fawkes on the path to redemption.
Will Charlotte have the strength to pull Fawkes into the light,
or will she follow him into the shadows?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Fawkes’
attack pressed Charlotte backward, and soon they were outside. As Charlotte’s
feet slipped in the mud, she realized she had lost her size advantage.
Lightning cracked across the sky, illuminating her surroundings long enough to
blind her, and she failed to anticipate the next punch. It landed hard on her
right shoulder and spun her around.
Before
she could steady herself to counter, her arm was wrenched behind her back.
Fawkes had a grip on it with one hand, the other around her throat. She stood
flush against him, feeling his harsh breath and pounding heart as it beat
against her back. They stood like statues, neither one of them wanting to the
first to break the spell.
The
roar of thunder made her jump and brought them back to reality. “I’ve gotten
better, haven’t I?” Charlotte couldn’t help asking. She’d meant it as a quip,
but it came out too hopeful.
She
felt Fawkes sigh, tensing his hold on her before dropping his grip. With her
back still to him, she waited for his answer. Instead, his hand brushed wet
hair back from her face before a finger traveled down and traced her jawline.
Charlotte leaned into the touch, but then it was gone. She turned to see only
darkness, and then a flash of lightning showed his tall frame heading back to
the cave.

GUEST POST:
Five Reasons You Should Read My Book
1. Secret identities. The classic way to make a
studly hero with a tragic past even more captivating and swoon-worthy. Even
more walls for our heroine, Charlotte, to tear down. Plus, lots of lawbreaking
can occur, which is tons of fun.
2. A training montage. This may have resulted from
watching too many 80s movies, but who doesn't love a montage scene? Read
Cloaked to see how Charlotte transforms herself into a woman who kicks some
serious butt.
3. A sidekick animal. Confession: I am not a horse
person, I am a dog person. But if there was ever a horse that I wouldn't be
terrified to ride, it would be Ghost. He is loyal, sturdy, and smart, and will
melt the hearts of animal lovers everywhere.
4. To figure out what is on the cover. Is
it a bird? A bomb? Someone's head exploding in the crown? It is all open for
interpretation, but once you read the book, your best guess is probably right.
5. My mom and dad give it a gold star. If
you ask them, they swear Cloaked will hit the New York Times Bestseller List
and movie producers will be knocking down my door. Take their opinion with a
grain of salt, though, because these are the same parents who put smiley faces
in the margins next to parts of the book they liked. If you would like to
contribute a less biased review, I would be forever grateful for readers
willing to take a chance on a debut author.
