Sexual-


This was a really good Erotic Fantasy Romance. The story was interesting from beginning to end. The heroine Tina had always felt like an outcast, with her intelligence, red hair and flat chest, she felt she would never find a man who would love her.
Devin is the King of 5 clans of Dragons. He is sent to earth to find something to help the clans stop fighting and become united again. What he finds is Tina.
Once Devin had Tina in his claws all's it took was one sniff of her and he had to have her. Tina was extremely attracted to Devin and wanted him too. He made her feel like no other man has ever made her feel before. When Devin claims Tina as his mate the claiming was HOT! As where the rest of the love scenes.
There was a battles between Devin and a power hungry dragon. I really liked the imagination used in this scene and this is where Devin and Tina's love shone through.
The ending was very happy indeed with Devin and Tina in love and the clans all reunited.
The only thing I wish is that this story would have been a bit longer.
If you like Erotic Fantasy Romance stories with shapeshifting dragons, magic, and hot love scenes I'd say give this book a try. I'm sure glad I did.

Ashley Hunter is intent on uncovering the truth about her father's disappearance. But Ashley realizes she's in for more than she bargained. Not only has she inherited a decrepit pub, she's also inherited ghosts and demons. Then Cristian arrives, a mysterious man who insists he only needs a room to rent. She believes him, until one by one her ghosts start disappearing...

As a fallen angel destined for a life of servitude, Cristian Lucius is relegated to protecting earth from unwanted spirits. But he can’t accomplish this daunting task alone. He requires assistance from the very woman who frustrates him as much as she intrigues him. Cristian is determined to ignore his intense attraction for Ashley, and focus on his mission. If they don’t work together, they won’t have a chance in hell of defeating the demon threatening their lives. The problem is getting Ashley to trust him. No easy task, for Cristian is the very man responsible for her father’s disappearance.

Lori Brighton is talented and creative writer. This one kept me on edge wanting to know what was going to happen next. I love all the paranormal she has going on in this book. I was very happy that is wasn’t like most ghost hunters I have seen on TV or read about. It was fresh and exciting. Here is what you get action, exorcism, spell casting sword fighting, body passions, twist and turns, surprises and a great cast of characters. I hope to read more about this cast in the future.

OMG, I have to say poor Ashley she never seen what was coming when she walked into her new owned old pub, she truly went for a exciting and deadly ride. If it wasn’t ghost it was the angel warriors messing with her, then add the rest of the towns witches, vampire, werewolf and the big demon that lives in her basement whew, like I said she never seen it coming. Ashley is strong and is ready to fight for what is hers.

Cristian is a angel warrior that helps passes ghost to the other side, but he has to have a seer to do so. He already knows Ashley and her family and wants to buy her out of her pub house, but she refuses. So he takes matters in his own hands and moves in.

My only downside was I really would have love to read more of Cristian
And Ashley working together instead of separated, it was like it took from the romance part for me.

Review:
I gotta give it to the author, she wraps a good story up in short story format! I wasn't sure how this read was going to play out when I read the first paragraph and the main character was immediately talking about doing a spell to get a girl for sex and not just any human girl, but a succubus! I was pleased that we didn't have to read about him doing the act with a horned, green breasted demon. Instead he insisted she change her appearance to human. Yay!!! It goes on from there with the two of them getting past superficial ideas of one another to have a great time in bed.

This is a hot short story and worth taking the time to read. There is a sweet ending to it so give it a chance. I recommend this one to other erotic readers that love a little something different!

Enjoy!!

Interview and giveaway with Author Tina Folsom

I would like to introduce you to Author Tina Folsom. When I read her Samson's Lovely Mortal, I loved it so much, I just has to share her with you guys. Tina is fun and loved to talk to readers so don't be shy.
Please welcome Author Tina Folsom

Laurie-Would you tell us a little about yourself?

Tina-I’m a romance author. I live in San Francisco, California, but I’m originally from Germany. I’ve lived in English speaking countries for over 20 years, practically my entire adult life. Writing is my big passion in life, and finally being able to do it for a living is a dream come true.

Laurie-What different kinds of genres do you write?

Tina-I only write romance, however, within the romance genre I’ve dabbled in different subgenres: western, contemporary, paranormal, historical.

Laurie-Out of all the different genres you write do you have a favorite?

Tina-Without a doubt, paranormal romance is my favorite and the one I will concentrate on.

Laurie-I loved the first two books in your Scanguards vampire series. Would you tell those who have never heard of them a little about the series?

Tina-Scanguards Vampires is about a group of vampires who run a security company called Scanguards. Samson is the owner of the company, and his book is the first in the series. Samson suffers from erectile dysfunction after a traumatic event and not even his shrink can help him. When the human auditor Delilah tumbles into his arms after a seemingly random attack, his hydraulics are working just fine. The story is very sexy and fast paced.
Amaury’s Hellion is the second book in the series. Amaury is Samson’s best friend and a director at Scanguards. He is cursed to feel other people’s emotions like a permanent headache and needs sex daily to keep the pain at bay. When he meets the feisty human woman Nina, a cure for his ailment seems within reach: in her presence all pain vanishes. Unfortunately, Nina is out to kill him because she believes he's involved in her brother's death. And she would succeed if only Amaury's bad boy charm didn't play havoc with her hormones and catapulted her into his arms and his bed every time she was near him.

In Book 1, Samson’s Lovely Mortal the vampire Amaury can read emotions and it is a huge problem for him. How did you come up with this problem?
I like to give my vampires problems that go against the grain of their own character. Amaury is so full of shit sometimes and such a hard ass that I figured, what the heck, I’m going to have him deal with the things he fears most: emotions. I had the epiphany about his problem when I wrote the scene with Ilona in Samson’s Lovely Mortal.

Laurie-Do you have an idea how many books you’re going to write for the Scanguards series?

Tina-I’m planning at least 6 books: Gabriel, Yvette, Zane, Thomas will be the next four, and possibly one or two after that depending on the popularity of the series.

Laurie-In book two Zane has a problem, he likes giving pain. Are you going to focus on this in his book?

Tina-Zane’s book is going to be quite dark – it will most likely be Book #5 in the Series. I am working on a few different scenarios for him, but violence is definitely part of his makeup. He has a very troubled past, and I don’t think he’ll be an easy character to write. I anticipate that some people will not like him at first, because of the things he’s done in his past.

Laurie-Do you have a favorite place to write?

Tina-I like to sit curled up on my couch with my little netbook computer and a cup of hot ginger tea. I do have a little office in my condo, but there’s no natural light, so I only use it when I have to do non-creative work. For all my creative work, I like to sit where I can watch the world go by. I’m on the forth floor of our building and have a nice view of the neighborhood.

Laurie-If you could give any advice for an up coming independent author what would that be?

Tina-First, join a critique group or local chapter of writers for your genre. You’ll learn a lot from others. Then just write. It takes a lot of practice to find your voice and make a story work. Some people can do it on the first book, some on the 10th. I work with critique partners on each book, and so do other published writers. We rely on those critique partners to tell us when something isn’t working, when our characters are unlovable, or our plot sucks. Brainstorm with your partners regularly. I can’t tell you enough how many times I’ve come up with a great scene just because of a remark one of my critique partners has made. Writing is only a solitary business if you make it so.
My second advice is: read lots of books in your genre, good and bad. You can learn from both. Don’t copy others, but take your inspiration from them. If somebody has a good idea, there’s nothing wrong with taking that thread and spinning it into a different direction. Remember, somebody once said (and I wish I remembered which famous person it was), there are only 20 unique stories out there – everything else is a variation of those 20 stories.

Laurie-Do you have anything you’d like to tell us about your books?

Tina-Yes, just a warning: all my books are sexually explicit. So if you are a little on the prudish side, they are not for you. If you read the first line of Samson’s Lovely Mortal, you’ll understand what I mean.

(Laurie-the first line is OMG!!;)

Laurie-Can you share what you have coming out next?

Tina-I’m currently working on Book 3 in the Scanguards Vampires Series. It will be Gabriel’s story – but I haven’t settled on a title yet. I anticipate the release date to be around December 1, 2010. Gabriel is quite a troubled vampire with a very unique sexual problem. You can watch my progress on my blog where I’ll be posting my word count daily.
I’m also working on a four book series about Greek Gods. Currently the proposal is with a traditional publishing house and I’m waiting to find out if it fits into their lineup.

Fun questions
Laurie-What is your favorite color?

Tina-Purple/lilac/violet

Laurie-Your favorite coke?

Tina-I don’t drink soft drinks – mainly because it’s hard enough to keep the pounds off when you’re sitting at a computer most of the day. I’m only 5’3”, so every extra pound really shows.

Laurie-Do you collect anything?

Tina-My husband and I live in a one bedroom condo, so I’ve never gotten into the habit of collecting anything – we just don’t have the space to keep anything. I don’t like clutter.

This was a very emotional read for me. This was a very heavy relationship story with a lot of interesting dialogue and steamy romance scenes. Although there was a D/s theme with bondage and some minor spanking/flogging, it wasn't described in enough detail to make you squeamish if that subject bothers you. The story takes place over several years which allows for a lot of growth and changes in the three main characters. One aspect of this story that I found unique was that none of the characters sought the D/s lifestyle because of issues in their past. Instead of needing a reason for it, they approached it as something that they simply preferred and enjoyed. I also liked that although the characters were flawed, they never blamed others for any of their issues.

These shape-shifting sentinels are dominant and sexy. This is a excellent start for a series. I loved the action, emotions, surprises, shape shift fighting and all around great cast of characters. If you love any paranormal romance shape-shifter predator cats, this is well worth the try.

The heroine, Mackenzie, I loved. I really enjoyed reading the emotions the author gives you after her attack with her stalker. She takes you through her sorrow and triumph of finally getting rid of her baggage she was holding on to. One thing I really enjoyed that I normal really don’t is the fact Mackenzie is insecure especially after the attack and after one old boyfriend that puts her down, the author doesn’t drag it out, but brings it out just enough and then takes and turns her out of it.

Adam is wonderful!! He is one that will weather any storm that comes at him. Adam knows what happened to Mackenzie and does everything in his power not to rush or hurt her. He also shows his true intentions for Mackenzie when he takes on a challenge for her.

One thing I love to read in shape shifting books is a special mating . The sentinels’ goes through a bond mating in this book, its really different. Now for the sex its hot, it does take a while and its not a whole lot of it but what’s there is hot, especially the shower scene.

The first of the book is about Mackenzie’s training and getting to know the background of the sentinels, so this may drag a little for some at first. Now I have to get the second book to this series...

Emmaline has come to him in need, but he and Emmaline have a past—and he has spent centuries wanting to take revenge on her for her transgressions. But now that he has her within his grasp, something about her keeps him from exacting his vengeance—or is it merely her glamour blinding him?

Trapped by fate, Emmaline must hope that she can reach Aeric’s furious heart before it’s too late…

I really enjoyed this book. Anya has a writing style that is all its own and that’s what keeps me coming back for more. I love the hot sex and dangerous men with strong women Anya writes along with the added action and excitement you just cant go wrong in trying this series, you may just find yourself truly enchanted as I did.

As I started reading this one I was skeptical for a bit, because of Aeric relationship isn’t one the greatest given his past, with Emmaline, but Anya kept it fresh and flowing very nicely to where I ended up loving the hero Aeric, especially when I read how his feeling runs for Emmaline.

Emmaline I loved her. She has a talent that I don’t want to spoil for you, I will say its not good. When I read how she got that away, WOW! It was very emotional. I don’t quite think I have read a heroine that went through all the pain as she did and then she as to go back through it again.

As the first book I love the world Anya has set up with all the steamy romance, action and sick-o villains. I didn’t find anything I hated or didn’t like, but I find it dragged some that’s the reason for the 4 starts.

This book surprised me, usually erotic book's are mostly sex and no story. This one had a bit of a story and I liked it. Em also used a lot of emotions in writing this book. Rune had 2 hero's that the heroine was in love with and I felt the frustration for all the characters because of this. The love scenes were SCORCHING and there was a small M/M scene at the end that I found to be yummy, lol! The ending did have a HEA for the three of them. The one thing that made me keep this book a 3 star and not a 4 star was that one of the love scenes happened at a part of the story I felt it did not belong.So if you like Scorching Hot Paranormal book's and don't mind a bit of M/M you might enjoy this book too.BTW, if you go to Red Sage Publishing and look this book up, there is a little video about this book. I found both the hero's REALLY sexy in this video. It helped me to put vision to the story.

Live fast, fight hard and, if you have to die, then take as many of your enemies with you as you can. That is the Amazon credo and it was one Samia lived and died by. Now in contemporary New Orleans, the immortal Amazon warrior is about to learn that there’s a worse evil coming to slaughter mankind than she’s ever faced before.

Shapeshifter Dev Peltier has stood guard at the front of Sanctuary for almost two hundred years and in that time, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought. Now their enemies have discovered a new source of power--one that makes a mockery of anything faced to date.

The war is on and Dev and Sam are guarding ground zero. But in order to win, they will have to break the most cardinal of all rules and pray it doesn’t unravel the universe as we know it.

Sexual-


As a huge Dark-Hunter fan this one didn’t cut it with me. I was very disappointed. Again this one is nothing like the books pre Acheron. I wish if the books are going to keep up with this pace Kenyon would go ahead and finish the series.

Again you get a lot of new of new characters you have to keep up with like this series doesn’t have enough then there is the added of all the different new gods and new demons. Like does anyone know who Lazarous is? There is so much Mythology going on that I forget who is who in a year, so anyone really needs a guide in each book of who is who.

What I was most disappointed with is the sex and romance you get a couple halfway scenes and you remember the mating scene you get with the were- hunters? Well its not in this one, so you miss that too Garr……

Then there is the lack of detail in a lot of different scenes. It would leave one that just picked up this book with out reading the rest of the series going WHAT! This book left me questing more than I should.

Then there is Nick when is Kenyon going to let him grow up and take what happens to him as life not someone else fault..

Now as for Sam and Dev they are very good together if their romance was let grow it would have been fantastic. Sam and Dev were fun the way they would cut up with each other but again you really don’t read them as much as you should its everyone else.

Stryker is as always up to no good, so you get lots of action and plenty of blood. I just hope book twenty will be better. I really feel like the Dark Hunters has been put on the back burner.

Spoilers
As I keep thinking about this book the more I don’t like it. It just seems to me Kenyon is letting Nick get the upper hand to where he is going to take Acheron place. Acheron even make a statement in this book that “Nick may one day kill him“. But what gets my goat the most is I know Ash has had a bad past life those of you that read his book knows what he went through and he never wanted a D-H to know about it, now all the sudden things are popping out one is Sam now knows Acheron was a whore. It just makes me feel like Kenyon is going to somehow take Acheron down and its not going to be good and I not going to be reading that one at all.
Spoilers stop

Interview with Katie Salidas with giveaway of an autographed copy of Immortalis Carpe Noctem

KATIE SALIDAS Bio


The youngest of four children, Katie has always had a desire to entertain. Since, early childhood, she's dreamed up fantastical characters and scribbled them into pages of various journals and notebooks. Taking an interest in vampires at an early age, she devoured every book, featuring those blood sucking creatures, in any genre she could find. She claims that, of all the monsters out there, vampires had always been the most interesting.
It was only natural that a love of reading about vampires, and a love of writing, turned into a desire to write her own stories.
A Las Vegas native, having grown up in the famed City of Sin, Katie loves to feature it as a recurring setting for many of her stories.

Katie Interview

Laurie-Would you please tell everyone a little about yourself?

Katie-First off, thank so much for having me here today! For those who don’t know me, Hiya! I’m Katie Salidas, author of the new urban fantasy series, Immortalis. The first book was published in March of this year and the sequel is currently being edited. I hope to have it ready for early 2011. I also love to write a little Paranormal Romance and Erotica. It makes for a nice change of scenery.

I’m a work at home mommy. Writing and taking care of my family is my job and I love it. I have a beautiful daughter and a wonderful and supportive husband. Both of them have pushed me to realize my dreams of being an author.

Laurie-Do you have a hobby? If so would you please share?

Katie-Actually, writing started out as a hobby. I’d been writing stories both short and long for years. After I was laid off from my regular job, my family pushed me to see if I could make something of my writing. Still not sure if I will make anything of it, but I am having fun trying.

Laurie-Do you have a favorite place to go to write?

Laurie-My couch. I know, it sounds silly, doesn’t it. I lounge on the love seat, in front of the window, with my laptop and write as the muse strikes.

Katie-You have a Urban Fantasy series called Immortalis, would you tell us a little about this series? How many books do you have planned so far?

Immortalis Carpe Noctem is my baby. It was the first full length novel I was able to finish. As I said I have written things for years, but nothing was novel length.

The entire series is planned at 4 books, but that could change as Alyssa tells me her story. I’m a self-proclaimed pantser, meaning I write as the muse strikes. As long as my characters have a story to tell, and readers are still interested in them, I’ll keep on writing.

Immortalis follows the struggles of Alyssa, a fledgling vampire with a penchant for finding trouble. She is stubborn, naive and too headstrong for her own good. Needless to say, she has a lot of learning to do. I wanted to focus on the human element and show the transformation and coping that happens while stepping into this new supernatural world. That is the core of the series. Each book will show Alyssa’s growth, not just in age, but in knowledge and character as well.

Laurie-You have written a vampire eBook which is my favorite House of Immortal Pleasures. Would you please tell us some about this book? Are you going to write more?

Katie-I am so glad you enjoyed this story. It really is one of my favorite stories.

Many people have asked me if I will continue with Connor and Daphne’s story. After such a great response, how can I say no? I’m not sure when I will have it finished, but yes, there is more and Connor and Daphne will return for another Novella.

House of Immortal Pleasures was a fun story to write. Being a pantser, I tend to just let the muse take me where she will. In this one, she took me to a small town out side of Las Vegas. Pahrump Nevada, a place known for it’s brothels. My niche is vampires. I write them into every story I create. So I thought, what would make a Brothel more interesting? Why not make it a vampire brothel?

Rather than go the obvious way with the story, pure erotica, I decided to twist things up and make it a romance instead. Finding love in the last place you would think to look. And Daphne does just that. After being dragged there kicking and screaming, she finds her knight in tarnished armor.

So, will they live happily ever after? Hmmm, wait and see.

Laurie-I seen on your facebook you have an erotic story coming out around Halloween called Halloween Fantasies, could you please give us a little about this story?

Katie-Another fun story to write. Let’s face it. Erotica is just fun. This one was inspired by an annual ball held in Las Vegas at Halloween. Sadly, I must admit, I have been too chicken to go myself. But I have always wondered what it would be like. And what if those costumed characters weren’t all wearing costumes.

What would it be like to give in to your fantasies for one night, no guilt and no real strings attached.

This one is definitely more traditional erotica than my last offering, but I think readers of paranormal romance will still appreciate it.

Thank you Katie so much!

Here is Katie's book with descriptions.


Immortalis: Carpe Noctem




Bleeding to death after brutal mugging on the campus of UNLV, Twenty-five year old Alyssa, is rescued by the cold and aloof, vampire, Lysander. Taking pity on her, he shares the gift-and curse-of immortality. She awakens as a vampire and is soon devastated by harsh realities of her new way of life: the loss of her friends, her independence, and her humanity.
As if having her humanity stripped away was not enough to make life interesting, Alyssa finds out her “turning”, did not go unnoticed by the rest of undead society. Old enemies; an ancient sect of vampire hunters, known as the Acta Sanctorum, as well as a powerful Vampire mistress, each set plans in motion to destroy both Alyssa and Lysander.
Only by accepting her newfound immortality, seizing the night, will Alyssa hope to survive. She and Lysander must fight together against two sets of enemies bent on destroying them both.

HOUSE OF IMMORTAL PLEASURES

Blindfolded and kidnapped, Daphne is whisked away to the famed, House of Immortal Pleasures, a Vampire-run Brothel in Pahrump, Nevada.

Sometimes the only way to mend a broken heart is to get back in the saddle. At least that is how Daphne’s friends see it. And since Daphne isn’t showing any signs of letting that happen, they take it into their own hands. With a few shots of liquid courage, a pat on the ass, and a donated gold card, Daphne is unwillingly sent into fantasy room 123 to meet her creature of the night, Connor.

It’s Connor’s job to seduce and entice Daphne to try all the expensive, sexual services on the menu. And he is prepared to do just that, until he peers into her mind and sees the damage done by her broken heart. After learning of her past pain, Connor’s plans change. No more is this a game of seduction to pad the pockets of the brothel owner. Connor decides to lavish Daphne with real attention and affection. Something she desperately needs. He will heal her heart the only way he can, by showing her she is beautiful, desirable, and sexy.
