Portrait of Passion

What’s a Viscount to do when a mysterious lady with a secret past and a reputation frayed around the edges suddenly appears in London in hot pursuit of his naive young cousin, setting the gossips’ tongues wagging, stirring his family into pandemonium, and driving him mad with her irreverent ways?

If the Viscount in question is Simon Easton, the answer is quite simple. Seduce the beguiling lady. But Miss Beatrice Morgan isn’t your average tarnished lady. She’s lived a slapdash life wandering the globe like a gypsy, painting fantastical portraits of Duchesses as Sirens and landscapes featuring a crumbling old fountain, all the while harboring a secret desire to return to Idyllwild, the only home she’s ever known.

What Simon does not know is that Beatrice just might be willing to sacrifice her honor, her virtue, her very heart to reclaim Idyllwild.

Excerpt

Beatrice thought that had Abby been born into a different family, she would be making her debut soon, perhaps next year.

Instead she waited upon a dishonest, lying, scheming woman.

Bea could not hold back bitter laughter at the thought. Simon turned his head to look at her in surprise. Abby froze, her gaze flying to Bea’s face.

“You are a very pretty girl,” Bea said and watched the blush deepen on the girl’s cheeks.

“Thank you, miss,” she shyly replied, bobbing another quick curtsy.

When Bea only watched her silently, Abby looked to Simon, who gave her a subtle shrug, before she asked, “Is there anything else I can do for you, miss?”

“You may undress me,” Bea said.

“Beatrice,” Simon protested quietly.

“I would like Abby to undress me and brush out my hair,” Bea insisted. She forced herself to raise her eyes to his, unsure what they would reveal to him. She was confused, an awful feeling of desperation mingled with the banked rage and shame. Would he see?

Simon captured her gaze, his eyes dark, not angry, uncertain perhaps. She knew she was behaving irrationally. She did not care.

“I’ll step outside,” Simon finally replied.

“Do not,” Bea said, waving her hands about in agitation. “Please, stay.”

Simon looked from her face to her hands, suspended in midair. She dropped them to her sides, clenched her fingers in her skirts, grabbing fistfuls of the dark silk.

Bea looked at Abby, standing as still as a statue, her eyes wide as she looked back. Bea realized that it was the first time the timid girl had ever looked her mistress in the eye. As if reading her mind, the maid tore her gaze away and bent her head down.

Hunter Betrayed (ADULT title) by Nancy Corrigan (guest post, review and GIVEAWAY)

I am delighted to have a guest post from author Nancy Corrigan...

From angel to doll, terms of endearment I love

by Nancy Corrigan

Terms of endearment. Some people hate them, others love them. I absolutely adore them WHEN they’re spoken as they are meant to be, a way to expression love and make your partner feel special. My husband and I use them. I’m dear, love or wife. He’s hun, dear or husband. It adds to our relationship and ties us together. But I’ve heard other couples use the same sweet words in a negative way. It’s a matter of tone, body language, respect and of course, love.
I incorporate them in my books too, both in positive and negative light. In Hunter Betrayed, Calan affectionately calls Harley, flower. It stems from his first image of her sitting in a field of white flowers with butterflies dancing in the air around her. The name also reflects how he sees her as the only beautiful thing in his dark life.
‘Unable to bear the suspense any longer, he opened his eyes and surveyed the woods to seek out her angelic face. She stood several feet away, devilish black hounds encircling her. Saliva dripped from their mouths, bloody pools had replaced their eyes and three-inch nails tipped their paws. Their bulky bodies brought them to her chest. Next to the animals bred to rip the fairies and their creatures apart, she appeared tiny. Delicate. Beautiful.
A flower in the midst of death.’
Some of the other terms of endearment I’ve used include—love, angel, kitten, doll and sweetheart. I’m sure I’ll continue to add them to my writing as long as my characters love them too :-)
I’d love to hear some of your favorite names too.

Hunter Betrayed
by Nancy Corrigan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Wild Hunt, Book 1

Tainted from birth, Harley lives a life cloaked in darkness and temptation. She resists the lure of her evil legacy by holding the memory of her ghostly savior close. Every night without him is agony. She fantasizes about him and yearns for his body, but he’s not the protector or lover she’s envisioned. He’s a Hunter bred to eliminate her kind. He’s also her only hope of salvation.
 
Calan, the leader of the Wild Hunt, was created to protect mankind from the Unseelie Court. For a millennium, he’s sacrificed to ensure the horrid creatures remain in the Underworld, but his strength wanes. He must rely on his enemy’s daughter to save him, but he doesn’t expect the intensity of their lust or love. Her touch calms his wild nature and ignites his carnal desires. He’ll risk all to save her, but doing so forces him to make the ultimate sacrifice, one that’ll damn him to suffer forever in his own living hell.

A Romantica® Paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave


~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT:


Rated PG-13

“I’ve fantasized about you for years and this…” She pressed her fingertips to his cheek. “This face is more captivating than any I could’ve imagined.”

The rightness he’d experienced nine years ago returned, stronger than before. He wanted Harley and he’d have her. “Kiss me.”

She shook her head.

“Harley.” He waited until she met his gaze. “Kiss me.”

Hesitantly, she pressed her mouth to his. He nudged at the seam of her lips with his tongue. She parted them and he slipped inside. Her flavor hit him. She tasted of candy, a delectable treat he could easily become addicted to. He moaned and kissed her harder. After a long moment where he led her into passion, she dug her fingers into his hair, grabbing sections of the short strands and tugging him closer.

On a whimper, she linked her legs around his waist. Her heat pressed against his stomach. He automatically arched his back to line his erection to her sex. Her small stature and his tight bonds prevented him from experiencing her tempting warmth along the length of his shaft. It didn’t dim the lust consuming him. The scent of her arousal and her squirming body intensified it.

He took control of the kiss, needing her wild. She’d beg for his manhood to fill her dripping center. He wouldn’t settle for anything else. Their teeth banged as the melding of their mouths grew wicked. He swallowed her moans and fed her his. Quicker, deeper he stroked his tongue with hers. She tightened her grip on his hair. Her nails bit into his scalp. The sting pushed his lusts higher.

More. By the gods, more. He nipped at her lips. Blood flavored the kiss, blood that held the tang of pure chaos. It was her taint, a curse from her father and the reason she was turning into a monster.

He turned his head, breaking the kiss. The evidence of the stain working its way through her body and soul, infecting her slowly and steadily, killed his runaway desire.

She eased back. The weight of her stare forced his lids open. Tears welled in her eyes, yet her expression remained neutral. “You can taste it, can’t you? It’s not just me.”

My review:

Hunter Betrayed by Nancy Corrigan is the first book in the ‘Wild Hunt’ paranormal series and centers around Calan, the leader and eldest sibling of the feared and legendary Huntsmen.  The curse of Dahm has endured for centuries of nightmarish torture of the Huntsmen and will only be broken if one of his half-breed children can be convinced to help them.  Harley Callahan has been plagued by death following her throughout her entire life and only the support of her brother Ian has helped her keep ahead of the inimical red cap Raul.  Calan and Harley must find a way to form a bond and trust each other completely but the obstacles that they must overcome may be more than their developing relationship can survive.


This exciting erotic paranormal novella introduces an unusual perspective on the Wild Hunt with glimpses of several individuals who hopefully will get their own chance in the spotlight.  Those who are squeamish should be forewarned that there is a fair amount of blood and gore permeating the tale but there are also plenty of heroic feats and demonstrations of intense loyalty, not to mention sensual and heartwarming interludes.  There are a few frustrating episodes that are not quite well-developed enough for me, including the events that lead to Harley’s brother’s fateful decision, Harley’s blithe acceptance of Calan’s alternate appearance, and the naivete that seems to allow Raul to find Harley but this is a definitely action-packed introduction to what promises to be a compelling series.  An entertaining quick read filled with creative twists on familiar myths.

Joshua's Mistake and Kane's Bounty by A.S. Fenichel

One of the things I am really fascinated by is the idea of psychic phenomena and I always enjoy well-written stories that explore this idea.  I am delighted to feature A.S. Fenichel today.  I already read and enjoyed Kane's Bounty and I am definitely looking forward to reading the next in the series, Joshua's Mistake.  A.S. kindly agreed to do a guest post and has allowed me to spotlight her new release, so without further ado...here's A.S. Fenichel! 

How I Got Hooked on Psychic Powers

by 

A.S. Fenichel

Hello ELF! Thank you so much for inviting me to visit your blog today. 

As you know, the series I’m writing for Ellora’s Cave Publishing is all about Psychic Mates. These books are about a world where organizations of psychic law enforcement and evil psychic mercenaries exist and the battle between good and evil rages on between them.
 
So how did I get hooked on the idea? I guess I’ve always found the notion intriguing. I want to think hard enough to move that penny across the table. So far, nothing has happened. Some people have great intuition while others seem capable of convincing us of almost anything. Are those common abilities a sixth sense? Today’s society says they are not, but I wonder why a person who has no discernable skills can sometimes rise to the top while a technically superior person wades in the muck.
 
I’m a big believer in the power of positive thinking. Negativity breeds more of the same and strong belief can bring about a desired outcome. A group of people praying on the same notion often seems to bring about a change in events. Are these instances of psychic powers at work?
 
I have no idea. LOL… But I like to think we are in control of our destiny and so I created worlds where some people have developed psychic or psi skills that can alter situations.
 
I’ve been writing paranormal for years. My first published book, Mayan Afterglow is about the End of Days and demons who take advantage of man’s vulnerable state. The hero and heroine in that book have an unexplainable link and her intuition about the Lord of the Dead is definitely a sixth sense. In that trilogy most of the psychic abilities belonged to the bad guys and that got me thinking that it would be nice if the good guys had some cool skills to battle with.

When Ellora’s Cave called for books about bounty hunters, I saw my opportunity to write something fun about psychics. What if the bounty hunter could read minds? And that question changed everything. Once I had one psychic and an organization who trained him, I knew there were other facets of the government that would take advantage of psi skills. With each book I write in the Psychic Mates series I find characters with more and different abilities and I couldn’t be having more fun exploring the possibilities.
 
Do you have a sixth sense? What is it and do you use it for good or evil? ;)
 
I hope you’ll take a look at my most recent book, Joshua's Mistake. It’s book two, but you can read these books in any order.
 
Thanks again for having me here today. 

Here’s a bit more about Joshua's Mistake.






Book Description:

Joshua's Mistake

A.S. Fenichel



Blurb:

Accused of treason and the murder of her Psychic Special Forces team, Tessa is in the custody of the FBI. She’s shocked and terrified when the most powerful Psi Agent in the world shows up to probe her mind and discover her guilt or innocence.

Joshua never expected to find a victim of one of his probes attractive, but he can’t seem to leave her behind when all hell breaks loose. Saving the stunning blonde means being drawn into a psychic war that will definitely end his career—and likely both of their lives.

The rhythm of their psychic auras hums to perfection and neither can fight the bond, but it’s all ripped away by a madman with a grudge. Tessa falls into a coma, and Joshua will have to risk his heart and soul to pull her back from the brink.

A Romantica® paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave


Excerpt

Joshua got up from the farm table. “I’ll be back in a little while. Peggy, can you show Tessa where she can rest?”
 
Peggy smiled warmly. “Of course. You’ll be wanting a shower too. If you give me those clothes, I’ll get them in the washing machine and have them clean when you wake up.”
 
“You’re very kind, Mrs. Flack.”
 
She waved a bony hand in dismissal. “You just call me Peggy. Everyone does.”
 
Tessa had said all the right things to Peggy. She had been polite and controlled her emotions. Inside, she was just short of full on panic. He was leaving her. Who could blame him? Tessa didn’t want to alarm the Flacks so she remained silent, yet practically screamed in her mind, “Where the hell are you going? Are you leaving me here?”
 
Part of her wanted him to hear and another part of her understood why he would want to get as far away from her as possible. Just because she could feel his emotions didn’t mean he would sense hers. He was undoubtedly very practiced at closing off his mind. If he was really a level ten psychic, he would have to just to stay sane.
 
He’d likely get killed if he stayed with her. At least he’d gotten her to a place where she could try to catch a few hours of sleep and then she’d be on the run. Probably for the rest of her life, however long that might be.
 
From the way his head spun around, she might as well have spoken out loud. His eyes widened and then he stalked toward her. He was visceral and terrifying. His body language said he wanted her and he might take her right there in the kitchen.
 
Tessa held her ground in the center of the old linoleum floor. She didn’t know if she wanted to move closer or run away. Everything about Joshua made her at once, curious, aroused and afraid.
 
Bill cleared his throat and walked out the door with his shotgun in his hand.
 
Peggy said, “Well, um…I’ll just wait for you in the next room, Tessa dear.”
 
Joshua didn’t stop until he was standing with only a sliver of light between them. She had to crane her neck to look up at him. His mouth came within a centimeter of hers, but he never touched her.
 
“I’m not leaving you.”
 
Her heart pounded in her chest and her stomach clenched painfully. “I can take care of myself.”
 
One side of his mouth lifted. His right hand came up and calloused fingers slid across her cheekbone. He was powerful. He could kill her. If his psi rating was true, he could likely kill her without touching her, but he could just as easily snap her neck. She could defend herself, but what would be the point. This was Joshua Lakeland. Eventually he would win.
 
Those same fingers continued until they were threaded through her hair and he forced her to look him in the eye. “I know you can, Tessa. I’m not leaving because I don’t want to leave you. I can’t explain why, but we’re in this together. You’re going to have to learn to trust me.”
 
She had to force air into her lungs. “I’ve already taken several leaps of faith. You just said you were leaving. If you want to go, then go.”
He shook his head, but didn’t release her. “I’m going to get rid of the car. I don’t want to get picked up by the local police because we made a rookie mistake and kept a stolen car too long.”
 
“Oh.” She could feel her cheeks flushing.
 
His left hand came up and cupped her other cheek. He ran a thumb along her bottom lip. She wanted to be impervious to his attention, but her body trembled at his touch.
 
His mouth drew closer. His breath mingled with hers as her lips separated partially in shock at what was about to happen and partially in need of his kiss. Those deep blue eyes locked with hers and she couldn’t blink or look away. He scanned her face to her lips, closed his eyes and stepped away.
 
Tessa’s instinct told her she should throw her arms around his neck and take the kiss he’d nearly given. Her cautious nature kept her feet planted in the spot on the linoleum.
 
Only the sound of heavy breathing filled the kitchen for several ticks of the clock.
 
“I’ll be back in a little while. You’d better get some rest.” Joshua walked out the kitchen door into the yard.

My review for Kane's Bounty:

Kane's Bounty by A.S. Fenichel is the erotic paranormal novella that is the beginning of the ‘Psychic Mates’ series and features bounty hunter Kane Lakeland, who has the intriguing talent of being a Class A Telepath which aids him in his job. The assignment to bring in fugitive Lena Cruz complicates his life when he is uncharacteristically drawn to his mark who possesses her own uncanny ability. Kane must decide whether the sizzling chemistry between them can be set aside so that he does not ruin his reputation but Lena is not only fighting for her life but is fighting her attraction to the sexy Psi hunter. She has to decide whether it is time for her to stop running and learn to trust someone just as he has to figure out whether to finally let somebody into his heart.

This very sensual tale combines both a fascinating world where psychic powers are readily accepted and an exciting suspenseful story. The main characters are sexy and compelling and the author does an excellent job of creating vivid situations as the tension continues to ramp up. There are deliciously creepy villains as well as intriguing secondary characters and I am thrilled to realize that there is already a sequel featuring another one of these amazing telepaths. I enjoy stories that explore the possibilities of psychic phenomena and this particular one did a wonderful job of drawing me in and making me care about the characters although it was disturbing to explore the concept of an invasive form of mental attack. This was a great introduction to a suspenseful and imaginative series and I am anxious to read more.

Dangerously Hers (ADULT title) Guest post,excerpt, review and GIVEAWAY

I am happy to have A.M. Griffin visiting today, with a guest post about...

How I began writing erotica

A.M. Griffin

When I began Dangerously Mine, the first book in the Loving Dangerously series, I already knew the plot line. For months I had the same reoccurring scenarios playing in a loop in my head — an alien invasion. Along with that, I envisioned a tough-as-nails girl that served as my alter ego. I imagined her on an auction block with hostile aliens trying to sell her into slavery and of course, all hell breaking loose. My alter ego wasn’t having any of it. My story took flight from there and wow did it ever.

My initial goal was to write sci-fi, but with the introduction of a hot alien hero it quickly became steamy. I didn’t intend for Dangerously Mine to be an erotic story, but with the first sex scene, I knew this was the way the story would lead. Once I realized this would be an erotica, I didn’t hold back. Not even a little bit.

From that very moment, I knew I would submit to Ellora’s Cave.

I’ve read many Ellora’s Cave books in their Aeon Line (Science Fiction), from Jaid Black’s Trek Mi Q’an series to Nathalie Gray’s Femme Metal series. After Dangerously Mine was completed it was a no brainer to submit to Ellora’s Cave. Who else would I have submitted too? Ellora’s Cave is THE place to go to for erotic romance and with Jaid Black’s Trek Mi Q’an series as the books that started it all, it’s also the best place to find sci-fi erotic romance.

Since beginning this journey, I have written m/f, f/f m/m/f and f/f/m scenes. Each book holds something new for me, meaning I don’t set out to write a particular type of sexual scene. I also don’t set out to be edgy in anyway. The sexual scenes follow the mood of the book. I enjoy the freedom of writing erotica. My characters don’t have to fade to black as they begin to kiss. I think that makes for very happy characters too (LOL)!

I’d always known that Dangerously Mine would be the start of a series. Ellora’s Cave gave my Loving Dangerously series a home. I’ve actually completed five books in this series, Dangerously Yours, Dangerously Hers, Dangerously His and Dangerously Forever. Dangerously His and Dangerously Forever are with my editor and I expect an early 2014 release date for those. I truly can't wait for those to be released.

I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoyed writing them!

 (and, in case the guest post didn't alert you...this is an ADULT title)



                                             


Dangerously Hers (Loving Dangerously, Book Three)

Jess hates aliens. After the invasion that destroyed Earth, the extraterrestrial bastards sold her to a brothel as a sex slave. She may have escaped but the old memories and fears still linger in the dark corners of her mind. Supposedly Sonis is just the place for her—somewhere safe, where she can heal and start fresh. She’s almost hopeful…until she meets Rasha, her new boss.

Rasha, Captain of the Sonis Royal Guard, is a warrior through and through. He’s huge, sinfully sexy and could have any woman on Sonis—but the woman he wants is Jess. He’s very much an alien and Jess knows she should hate him or at least be wary, but whenever he’s around, she loses control. She tells herself it’s only sex—amazing, mind-blowing sex like nothing else she’s ever experienced—but there’s something about Rasha that shakes her soul. The feel of his skin against hers, the look in his eyes as he touches her—they make her want to believe it’s possible to find love and begin again.

A Romantica® science fiction erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave

Excerpt

He inhaled sharply. “I can smell you.” Then he let his gaze drop to crotch.

Her hands instinctively dropped to shield herself.

She gasped as he dropped to his knees. “What are you doing?”

He wrapped his arms around her and cradled her ass. Her mouth dropped open as he nuzzled his nose between her thighs. “I can take care of this…you.”

She dug her nails into his shoulder blades. Should she push him away or keep him where he was?

He made a sound so animalistic. So hot and sexy that it made her pussy respond in ways she didn’t want it to.

“That’s it.” He sniffed into her.

His fingers worked in unison to massage her ass, all the while pulling her onto his face. She tried to stand her ground even when she rocked to her toes.

He looked up to her with eyes smoldering with heat. “Can I do it Jess?”

She blinked, trying to remember his question. “Do…do what?”

“Lick you until you until you come.”

Oh God.

Her knees buckled.

“I want to taste you. I want to bury my face in your pussy. I want to…to…” Growling, he bit her.

Dangerously Hers: 3 (Amazon link)

Ellora's Cave

********************************
My review:

3.5 out of 5 stars

“Dangerously Hers” by A.M. Griffin is an erotic science fiction romance that continues the ‘Loving Dangerously’ series that explores the aftermath for humans when a group of aliens known as the Loconuist conquer Earth.  Jessica Moore has reinvented herself as Jess but still carries the scars of her time in captivity at a brothel.  She has trouble maintaining her prickly defenses against the lusty male Sonis named Rasha, even though she should be intimidated because he is an enormous alien but her attraction is stifled by her inability to provide children, a goal greatly desired by those of his race.  The question is whether she will be her own worst enemy or find a way to leave her past behind her where it belongs.

This spicy and imaginative science fiction story is an entertaining read but could use a bit more exposition as the abrupt shift between the poignant prologue and the subsequent events is a little disconcerting.  It would probably be better to have read the first two novellas in the series in order to get a better background on the heroine but it was quite intriguing to get glimpses of the secondary characters such as the ubiquitous Ship and the determined queen Eva.  I wasn’t quite convinced of the attraction between the main characters but I could certainly sympathize with Jess and the reason for her erratic behavior.  A creative and entertaining light read.
