Series Spotlight - ALL THE KINGS MEN Series by Donya Lynne





TGIF Book Monsters!  Book Monster Reviews is very happy to be helping out Donya Lynne promote her brand new release today.

Donya's new series ALL THE KINGS MEN (AKM) has gotten some great reviews since the first book in the series "Rise of the Fallen" was released on 3/24/12.  Today, we are helping Donya celebrate the release of "Heart of the Warrior", the 2nd book in the AKM series, which was just released today. 

If you're not familiar with the series yet, don't worry!  I've posted the synopses below to get you up to par!


ALL THE KINGS MEN Series






 “Rise of the Fallen”, Book 1
BUY NOW:

In the streets of Chicago exists an uneasy, centuries-old truce between vampires and their distant cousins, a race of shifters called drecks. Vampire enforcement agency, All the King’s Men (AKM), is charged with maintaining the truce, but when volatile enforcer Micah Black loses his mate and falls into the biological agony that results from the broken bond, he tests the boundaries of the truce by seeking out Apostle, a leader in the dreck community. Micah wants Apostle to kill him, a request Apostle is more than happy to fulfill.

When ex-Army medic Samantha Garrett inadvertently disrupts the plot and saves Micah’s life, a chain reaction sets Micah’s heart on a collision course with Sam’s, but he will have to protect her from Apostle and her obsessive ex-husband, Steve, if they will have a chance at forever. Can Micah hold his emotions together to keep Sam alive?







"Heart of the Warrior", Book 2
BUY NOW:

Severin was born to be a warrior. Conceived as a mixed-blood when his vampire father raped his dreck mother over two centuries ago, Severin retained the power of iron skin inherent to newborn drecks. However, Sev keeps this secret closely guarded. If it's discovered that inferior dreck blood flows in his vampire veins, it could destroy his life. And to make matters worse, his father suddenly wants to make amends for his transgressions. Sev wants nothing of his father's apology, especially now, as he contends with both an assassin who has marked Sev for blood vengeance and his obsessive attraction to his teammate, Arion.

Arion is the son of King Bain's liaison, Gregos Savakis, who had Ari's course plotted before he was even born. But what Ari's overbearing parents wanted for him wasn't what Arion wanted for himself, and a lifetime spent fighting through one relationship after another with females from all walks of life has left him weary in his search for a mate. After a startling and erotic encounter with Sev, Ari has begun to realize why. He's gay. And now he can't stop thinking about Sev. Arion suddenly realizes he's been forcing himself to be with females because that's what his parents expected. But what he wants is a male, and not just any male. Arion wants Severin.

Can the two overcome the secrets, prejudice, plotting, and the threat on Severin's life to find happily ever after with each other?






ALL ABOUT DONYA:

In high school, Donya’s friends voted her “Most Likely to be a Romance Novelist” because she would fill her notebooks with love story after love story.  She has always had a flair for dark fantasy however, and enjoys erotica as well.  She loves to write about damaged characters and controversial subject matter, and revels in the fact that readers seem to like it too. 

In 2010 Donya found herself the victim of the failing economy and lost her job.  After much thought, she decided to truly begin her career as a writer and pursue her love.  A year later, after honing her skills and educating herself once again about the publishing world, her first story was published in the “Evernight” anthology, and at least 4 more of her works are planned for release in 2012.


FYI:  Donya is having a SPECIAL CONTEST: Anyone with graphics abilities who would like to win a free copy of all upcoming AKM novels, here's your chance:  All the King's Men (AKM) needs a logo. Donya wants one of her readers to create it. The series will have at least 9 more books and 2 novellas, and she would like the logo to appear on the remaining books. Entries must be in by June 15. Specs for the file: A vector file is preferred, but a PNG file at 300 dpi will also work.  Please contact Donya Lynne on Facebook if you're interested.
