9/28/2018 0 Comments Covers & Cocktails Giveaway: MatedHappy Friday! Has your week been a doozy? Mine has. And I think I deserve a drink. And regardless of type of drink, you do, too. Wine, water, whatever. Our drink inspiration for this month is Cross Breed by Lora Leigh! I know many fans of The Breeds series have been waiting for this book and I hope it lives up to all of your expectations. I’m rather new to The Breeds series, but I will say I didn’t have much difficulty following along. Both Sarah and I want to mention, though, that the sex in these books can be rather intense and feature some unconventional mating elements.

We’re talking knots here, people. And I don’t mean with ropes!
I really loved the bright blue of the cover. I don’t think I’ve ever made a blue drink for Covers & Cocktails before, which means I can play with the go-to blue drink additive: blue curaçao. If you’re unfamiliar with the liqueur, it has a citrus taste. This was also my first time meeting Cassie, the heroine of Cross Breed. Though she’s tough and brash, there’s a…pep to her. Not in the bubbly sense, but she’s incredibly passionate and loving when it comes to her family. Those close to her mean a lot and I found that to be rather sweet, which translated into something with bubbles. Now her mate (I don’t want to name him if it isn’t obvious and it’s also not in the book’s description) is exceptionally smooth. The smoothest booze that I happen to love is gin. Gin on its own has this silky mouthfeel. I hate using the term “mouthfeel,” but it’s really the only accurate description. I also love a gin and tonic, which is where the added lime comes in. It adds a tartness and oomph without the spice that something like ginger would provide. The drink goes down really easy, but has a bright, effervescent taste. It’s not a bad marriage between Cassie and her mate. I could have gone a different drink route with darker alcohol and a bolder taste, but I typically associate those things will the fall and winter. You’ll just have to wait! As an extra bonus, Berkley has five (5) copies of Cross Breed to giveaway! Send lots of love to Berkley, everyone! Ingredients: Proportions: Modifications and notes:
