Q- Do you have a favorite Lord? If so who?
A- I absolutely, utterly adore Strider, keeper of Defeat. (You’ll get to read all about him in The Darkest Surrender this October!) I love his naughty sense of humor, his complete lack of inhibitions, and his willingness to do anything to win a fight -- even stab his best friend while playing XBox. What that says about me, I’m not sure.
The Darkest Secret blurb
In this sexy new installment of New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series, the haunted Amun meets a woman who tempts him like no other.
Keeper of the demon of Secrets, Amun can manipulate the darkest thoughts of anyone nearby. But when the immortal warrior is chained and isolated to protect those he loves, death is his only hope of release—until he meets Haidee, a fellow prisoner whose beauty and hidden vulnerability draw him into a reckless test of his loyalty.
Haidee is a demon-assassin, raised to despise Amun’s kind. Yet how can she hate the man whose touch sets her aflame? But to save him, she must give herself body and soul…and face the wrath of a powerful adversary sworn to destroy her.
There will be two winners for The Darkest Secret. So you better be quick below. Please tell who is your favorite LOTU below and give a shout out to Gena along with your email if it not on your profile.
Giveaway is sponsored by Harlequin and open to addresses in the U.S. and Canada only.
My review of Darkest Secret I want to think Harlequin for asking me to review Darkest Secret.


How do you pick a favorite? That is so hard! I guess I would have to say my favorite at the moment is Aeron. But I am dying to read about Strider. September feels so far away right now. Congratulations on your new release!

ReplyDeleteHere is a shout out to Gena for being one of the best writer of the paranormal romance! Sher really knows how to write those HOT SEXY SCENES! :D

I love them all but my favorites have always been Aeron and Amun...I guess there is something about the strong silent type. Now that Aeron got his HEA I can't wait to read Amun's story. When he finally talks I can only immagine things are gonna blow!
ReplyDeleteThank you! mmafsmith(at)gmail(dot)com
Congrats on the new release. Love the covers. They are always so sexy. Just read your free novella and loved it. Totally unexpected ending.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite because, unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to read any of these books yet. I'm really looking forward to reading them though - I have heard so many great things about this series and I just love the covers!!!
ReplyDeleteparanormalopinion@hotmail.com
I can't wait to read the all about Amun. I love all of your books and am an avid reader of all of your series. I think your wit and character development is unique and enticing and that's what keeps readers craving each additional novel.
ReplyDeleteFor LOTU I am currently in love with Reyes, but may start to have an affair with Amun. I have been intrigued with his character from the beginning and now that I get a chance for better look- well watch out!

ReplyDeletelizzi0915 at aol dot com
Good luck to all of you - for me it's impossible to join the contest, cause i'm an european reader *sigh*. But nevertheless: I absolutely adore Maddox and Reyes - after that Gideon, lol.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Lord would definitely have to be Torin. I know his bookhasnt evencome out yet, but there's just something about him that I love. I think a lot of it has to do with how I feel so bad for him that he has to be so alone.
ReplyDeleteAnd dear Gena, this shoutout is for you and your amazing writing talent! Congratulations on another successful book and I'm looking forward to many more! (:

Of course, I love Paris. He's so...well, so! But my favorite guy in the stories is William. I so want him to get is HEA! I'll do a little wiggly dance of joy. The series is great. I just sent a copy of the first one to my niece. I can't get this book at my local Borders. I stopped in again yesterday and they are still "on order". I would love to win this otherwise it's time to order on line. Thanks for the contest.

I have a soft spot for Maddox since he was the one who started my love for this series. But Paris intrigues me too, can't wait for his story!
ReplyDeleteangeldream3[at]gmail[dot]com
My favorite changes from time to time. These days, I'm all for Kane ~ Lord of Disaster.
ReplyDeletereenajacobs at reenajacobs dot com
My favorite has to be Paris. I'm dying to read his book. I just hope he ends up with Sienna!
ReplyDeletekalynnick AT yahoo DOT com
So excellent, Gina, thank you! I know that people love Maddox, but I've always harbored a secret desire to see Torin get his story - with a lot of plastic separating him from her, of course!
ReplyDeleteOops. outredgeous@gmail.com is my email.
ReplyDeleteThere is a tie for my favorite between Torin and Lucien :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletethrouthehaze at gmail dot com
Sadly I have not read any books in this series yet, so I can't pick a favorite. I've heard great things about the entire series, and I plan on starting it soon.
ReplyDeletecrystal_reaper(at)hotmail(dot)com
Strider is definitely my favorite. He is so damn hot. Even the cover of his book is my favorite. He's ruthless and sexy and fights dirty and when he falls in love its TOTALLY intense. I ADORE him. *le sigh*
ReplyDeleteThanks Gena for writing one of my all time favorite paranormal series - I can't wait to read Amun's story!!
bjhoffmaster(at)live(dot)com
I haven't read any of the LOTU books, but I do have books 1-3 on my TBR stack. There aren't enough hours in a day for all these great books!!!

Reyes is my fave... although I love love love William :) also
ReplyDeleterobbins25@frontiernet.net
My Favorite Lord is Strider. Most of the time you can find him smiling and teasing his friends. And the way he teases............*shivers*
ReplyDeleteGena your writing is amazing!!!! I am currently buying all of your books and reading them, the ones I can find that is. I will post a picture of all of them when I get them.

Just started series(3 books done, more to go), so haven't read all of them, just on my way to do it (trying to squeeze every opportunity to read). But favourite is Paris.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Reyes
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway
Ktalley28@gmail.com
Aeron. I love them all really.....
ReplyDeleteMaddox "Keeper of Violence" This was the first book I read in the series obviously because it is book one. I just feel a deep connection with him. I feel as though I understand his pain he suffers each night.
ReplyDeleteREYES:) Everyone needs a little pain in life!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite lord has been Aeron so far. I really enjoyed Lucien too. I loved Aeron's wings ;) My shot out to Gena is that she rocks! Of course she knows that though. I've never read a bad book of hers. They are all great and I can see her sense of humor in them too.
ReplyDeleteTanyaw1224(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love Reyes and Torin. I can't wait for Torin's HEA.
ReplyDeleteiqb99@yahoo.com
My all time favorite Lord is Paris. I can't wait for his story next year. But my second favorite Lord is a tie between Strider, Gedion, and William(if you can count him as a Lord). They are all so funny and always bring a smile to me.

ReplyDeletelisa roberts
My favorite Lord is Lucien, I have a thing for scars too. Congrats on the new release, this is my favorite series and Gena is my favorite author.
ReplyDeletejas1195@hotmail.com
But...I don't want to choose! I LIKE alpha heros!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. So many Lords...so little time. Honestly, I have a thing for Paris, but I also have a thing for the very different Aeron. Nothing wrong with a little sharing, right?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cheriemarks.blogspot.com
If I HAD to pick one, I'd say Paris. I just feel so for him.
ReplyDeletenikana.ff@gmail.com
Gideon is my favorite Lord, although all of them are pretty close but Gideon stands out because of how he has to say the opposite of everything.
ReplyDeleteMy email is elenac15@sbcglobal.net
I love all of the Lords. Paris is probably my favorite and I can't wait to read his story.
ReplyDeletesmccar1 at hotmail dot com
I absolutly love Paris, he is my favourite lord, his sense of humor at the begening and his later tragedy, is a very well done caracter, strong but with a heart still, is a hard pick up but fear enough for me to say PARIS
ReplyDeletekatellinb at hotmail dot com
Have not read them yet, so I do not have a favorite, but I AM SHOUTING at the top pf my lungs :)
ReplyDeleterobin [at] intensewhisper [dot] com
I would have to say my favorite Lord is Torin. His out of everyone else's story seems the saddest and most compelling. Not only does he not have another half of his own, but when he does find her he has that peskly little problem- his nice little Demon who because of he cant touch anyone. Every book that Gena has written I just can't get enough of!!! So a GIANT shoutout to her! She is amazing and I think if I read nobody else's work besides hers for the rest of my life I would be happy!

Hi Gena,
ReplyDeleteThey're all my favorite. I love this series.
Thx,

I loved Maddox (really, how could you not!?) but I can't wait to read about Strider! Really, it's hard to choose a favourite - they are all so dynamic and different - and their conversations are always so hilarious! I just love this series! Thanks for creating it, Gena! :)

Well crap do I really have to pick one? Hmmmm...I'm going to go with whose story I'm salivating over right now for and that would be Paris. So I'll say he's my favorite right now.

ReplyDeleteI have only read the first in the series and it was awesome!
ReplyDeletekatie_tp(at)yahoo(dot)com
This series has me up most nights! LOL! My favorite Lord is Lucien, the keeper of death. He is the Buda clan's leader, and might I say quite perfect to me...dark, strong, no non-sense kind of man. Anyway, I love him! Gena, I am so happy The Darkest Secret has been a success, although I knew it would! Thanks for writng such awesome stories!

Oh I've only read one of these so I don't think I can pick one right now. However, I am so stoked to really get into this series.
ReplyDeleteOh Gena!!! How can one choose???? If I have to, I will pick two.....Maddox, of course, and Lucien. They went through Hell together, literally. They carry such different strengths and weaknesses.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great imagination and such an awesome way with shaping a story so that it both tugs at your heart and makes you want to throw a rock at some of the characters.
Keep writing!!!

ReplyDeleteI look forward to losing myself in The Darkest Secret! Thank you Gena Showalter!
Tough question. I absolutely adore this series. I really like Paris because of the sacrifice he made. But I'm very intrigued by Torin and Amun and want them to find their HEAs.
