Tangled Redemption Release and Contests!
Woohoo! The day is finally here! Tangled Redemption, book 4 in my Celestial Surrender series, releases today.
I am very excited to share Sydney, Miguel and Jayden with you. It was exciting to write their story. The three of them took me on quite an adventure.
I hope you will enjoy it.
Sydney Radnall is no man’s toy, despite fate’s attempt to make her just that. But kidnapping puts her at the mercy of a sadistic Feral commander. Being held prisoner is bad enough, but her Naema blood is powerful. In her current Vampiric company her presence is like ringing a dinner bell.
In an attempt to break her, the commander makes her the pet of two of his lieutenants. Miguel is one of the most dangerous men she has ever met, but she can’t stop the attraction blazing between them. Then there is Jayden, a Vampire who is as surprising as he is sexy. Two Vampires she should not be attracted to, should not want to surrender to, should not trust.
But things aren’t always what they seem. Secrets and lies shadow their connections, making it impossible to see clearly. What are the chances of her finding lifemates while surrounded by enemies? Making the wrong decision could not just shatter her heart. It could cost her life.
Now on to the fun part. I can’t have a release day without CONTESTS! This time I’m doing something a little different.

Tangled Indulgence Release Day & Give-Away
Woohoo! Tangled Indulgence, book 3 in the Celestial Surrender series, comes out today.
Reassigned to the nether-end of the galaxy and facing her last night on the planet, Adira has had better days. She shouldn’t have ruffled so many feathers with her investigation, but the trail of missing people was too important to ignore.
She knows exactly how to spend her evening. At an exclusive sex club, she’s determined to confront the Vampire who’s never far from her mind. She only has a few hours, but surely she can entice the sexy bartender to share them with her.
Malachy is more than he appears. Working undercover has him ready for anything… except Adira. The moment he laid eyes on the Sentinel he knew he’d found his lifemate. Unfortunately, the prickly mortal has a wall as hard as a spaceship’s hull around her heart.
Only hours remain to convince her she belongs in his arms, and his bed. As the heated night turns molten, duty and desire collide. Following their hearts will only complicate matters.
Inside Scoop: Our heroine gets the shock of her life when she discovers her voyeuristic nature, and the fact that it is the male-on-male action, as opposed to a ménage, that really gets her juices flowing.
In a moment where her emotions run high Adira had to do something completely out of character. She walks into a sex club and discovers more about her sexual fantasies than she had ever imagined.
I’ve been in that situation. No, not the one walking into a sex club;), but the one where I discovered something surprising about myself. I grew up close to the sea, but never felt very drawn to it. I hate swimming and deep water scares me. Walking along the beach was nice enough, but pretty much the same as walking in the woods or anywhere else. Then I spent two months in Alaska while working on my dissertation and I fell in love with running water. I kid you not, I must have dozens and dozens of pictures of springs, waterfalls, rivers and creeks. The colours, the beauty, the landscape around it. There is a serenity to it that makes me want to sit and daydream. And to this day I am drawn to any flowing water, no matter the location.
To celebrate the release of Tangled Indulgence I am giving away two prizes. Tell me what you discovered about yourself that surprised you in the comments. The first winner, chosen by numbers.org, can choose any of my four books in your preferred eformat, and the second winner receives a copy of Tangled Indulgence. Tell me about the moment you discovered you enjoy deep-fried brussel sprouts or the moment you discovered you like being tied up in bed. Your choice;)! The contest is open until Thursday 7th March.
Have a wonderful Friday!
Tangled Indulgence-Snippet Four
All this week I’ll be sharing short snippets from Tangled Indulgence, releasing on Friday March 1st.
“Adira raised her phaser and slunk up the stairs, moving slowly from shadow to shadow, Mal not two steps behind her. It was slow going as the stairs were riddled with holes and missing treads. Finally she stopped just below the top of the steps.
The second floor opened up before her. The windows had been barricaded with wood and cardboard, restricting visibility. The captives sat in smaller groups, eight to ten, all with at least two guards. The rest of the guards covered the exits or milled about, intimidating the hostages. Opposite their landing a number of doorways led into other areas of the warehouse.
There’s no cover. If we start shooting at the bad guys we risk injuring the hostages.”
Tangled Indulgence-Snippet Three
All this week I’ll be sharing short snippets from Tangled Indulgence, releasing on Friday March 1st.
“Mal focused on his hands as he slowly unbuttoned her shirt, drawing it out, raising the tension. He unbuttoned her cuffs and drew the shirt down her arms. Not wanting to lose her soft weight against him, he threw the fabric backward onto the foot of the bed.
Her satin bra cupped her breasts to perfection. He ran his hands over and across the silky fabric, rubbing his thumbs over her sensitive nipples. “What’s happening? You’re not keeping me in the loop.”
She swallowed.”
Tangled Indulgence-Snippet Two
All this week I’ll be sharing short snippets from Tangled Indulgence, releasing on Friday March 1st.
“Lust was the sex club attached to Indulgence. Adira had never been nor had she ever planned to go. But finding out Mal was just like all the other scecxis in her life she needed to do something different.
Something not her.
Visiting a sex club was about as far from being her as letting a man be important enough to hurt her.”
Tangled Indulgence-Snippet One
All this week I’ll be sharing short snippets from Tangled Indulgence, releasing on Friday March 1st.
“As soon as Mal stepped out of the stockroom a buzz screamed across his senses. Adira is here. Unerringly his gaze found hers. Her amber eyes widened and her pupils dilated.
For a brief second their connection shone like a beacon between them.
Then it was as if a shutter came down and severed their link. Mal’s heartbeat settled back down. Too bad he couldn’t make his erection go down quite so easily. He sighed.
Even after weeks of instances like this Mal still didn’t know if she cut the connection on purpose or if it was an instinctive response.”
Have a fabulous week!
Rescue by Ruin – Snippet Four and Release Day Give-Away
Woohoo! My super-sexy steampunk novel “Rescue by Ruin“ comes out today! It is hot-hot-hot and I am very excited. *does a quick dance around the office*
I love Beatrice and Vaughn’s story and I hope you will too. Here is the promised fourth snippet:
“His eyes, filled with flaming fury, held her captive. She finally managed to drop her gaze and pressed the napkin against his wound. Other than a hiss, he didn’t respond.
During the altercation everyone moved closer to the gramophone. Bea took shallow breaths. She had no idea how much time had passed and when they could expect the Yard.
And they still needed Waldon’s confession.”
Having lived in London for a long time I thoroughly enjoy mixing my experiences and knowledge with research and building a world where dirigibles, automatons and MENVs are part of daily lives. There are a great many definitions of what steampunk is, but for me is is the opportunity to mix the historical with the fantastical and even throw in a little Sci-Fi.
History has always been a subject close to my heart and at one time, when I was very, very young, I thought about becoming an archaeologist. Didn’t quite work out that way, but I wouldn’t mind meeting my own personal Doctor and travel through time and space in our very own TARDIS. I would love to see Ancient Egypt, watch Michelangelo sculpt David, meet Elizabeth I, hang out with Auguste Rodin or travel to Japan and meet Musashi Miyamoto.
What time would you like to visit and who would you like to hang out with? Leave a comment and you will be entered to win a copy of Rescue by Ruin. If you also Tweet a link to this post and include my Twitter handle @TinaChristopher I’ll enter your name for second time. The contest runs until Wednesday 7th November.
Happy Friday!
Rescue by Ruin – Snippet One
My sexy steampunk novel Rescue by Ruin comes out this Friday. Every day until then I will share a small snippet.
This is from the first chapter, a few paragraphs in:
“Beatrice’s heart pounded. Her throat was dry.
Once she stepped on board, once the Venia set off, she couldn’t turn back. The airship would not land again until dawn.
She’d be trapped.”
Tangled Hunger Release Day and Give-Away!
Whoopdidooh! Tangled Hunger escapes into the wild today. I am very excited and hope you enjoy reading Tanasha’s and Duncan’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it.
But Release Day is nothing without a give-away!
Comment here and let me know what book touched you the most in the last month or so by Monday 25th June. I’m still collection recommendations for my Chicago trip;). One lucky commenter will receive a copy of Tangled Shadows or Tangled Hunger.
Have a wonderful day and a great start to the weekend!
