BLURB:
Quinn
Jones is a formidable Coletti warlord. His mission is to capture Xenia and
bring her back to Tanith to be mated with a warrior the Overlord has chosen.
Problem is, Quinn finds himself falling for the beautiful Farin. Her unusual
“psychic powers, combat training and berserker abilities” make her the perfect
mate for him. How does he convince Xenia and the Overlord that she’s meant to
be his?
Xenia and her parents are relic hunters who just discovered the fabled home world of the Nabateans. She isn’t about to leave the greatest find of the century to hook up with some Coletti. Not happening. Ever. No matter how many threats the Overlord makes or that he’s sending his best hunter to apprehend her. Okay, she’ll admit she’s drawn to the handsome warlord and she loves the way Quinn’s heavily muscled body fills out his black battle suit, but the egotistical jerk is about to get his ass handed to him.
When the galaxy is threatened with annihilation, Xenia and Quinn join forces to stop the murderous Tai-Kok. Fate has brought them together and nothing will stand in the way of their victory or their love.

EXCERPT
“I will do what is necessary to keep my mother safe.”
Quinn snorted. “And get your ass shot off. Wait for me.”
“No.”
“Stupidity is not a virtue.”
The first chance I got I was stunning his ass. “You need to get laid. It might improve your disposition.” I gave myself a mental head smack. Goddess, where in the nine hells had that come from?
A smile curved Quinn’s mouth. “You offering, darlin’?”
“Not in this lifetime.” My love life might suck, but taking on a dictatorial, bad- tempered Coletti warrior was sheer madness. A sigh escaped me. No matter how attractive I found him.
“You’ve never been kissed, have you?”
My jaw dropped. What? One look at the devilry in Quinn’s eyes, and I knew he enjoyed provoking me. “That is none of your business.” My duties didn’t allow time for romance, and keeping Mami safe was a full-time job.
Quinn smirked. “Pucker up, sweetheart. It’s an easy fix.”
I started the hover bike and zoomed off. I was definitely stunning him. Twice.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher for the Glendale Police Department
and to keep from going totally bonkers – I mean people have no idea of what a
real emergency is. Take this for an example: I answered, “9-1-1 emergency,
what’s your emergency?” And this hysterical woman yelled, “My bird is in a
tree.” Sometimes I really couldn’t help myself, so I said, “Birds have a
tendency to do that, ma’am.” The woman screeched, “No! You don’t understand. My
pet parakeet is in the tree. I’ve just got to get him down.” Like I said, not a
clue. “I’m sorry ma’am, but we don’t get birds out of trees.” The woman then
cried, “But… What about my husband? He’s up there, too.” See what I had to deal
with? To keep from hitting myself repeatedly in the head with my phone, I took up
writing.

While I like SyFy, I think I prefer to watch a film more than reading a book. I have a hard time visualizing the action in the book in my mind's eye. It's easier for me to understand what the author was trying to say if it's on film. Any chance of that happening? What would your reaction be if you were contacted by a film maker to bring your book to the big (or little) screen?
ReplyDeleteI would be doing a happy dance and screaming YES!
DeleteI liked the excerpt.
