@dochappycamper's Bad Girl Julia Santos Has a Chance for Her HEA. Will Her Past Destroy It? #LGBT #EroticRomance

The third book in the Now and Forever series by Sassy Vixen author Tammy Dennings Maggy is starting to gain more attention with the readers. It's the much awaited book that tells the story of bad girl Julia Santos—the character that just wouldn't stay as a blip in the back story of hero Jake Hartley.

She was first mentioned almost as an afterthought in For the Love of Quinn, but more of her story peaked through in The Island. There we learn for the first time, some of the details of how her betrayal shaped Jake into the love them and leave them kind of guy. Because of her, he nearly gave up completely on his HEA with Quinn.

Julia met with Jake and Quinn in Vegas in hopes to finally find the forgiveness she needed in order for her to move on with her life with her best friend and Mistress, Carmen. Her journey to that point was a long one and only hinted at in The Island. Readers wanted to know more—why was she the cold-hearted bitch for most of her adult life. Why did she push those who loved her the most away? Could the villainess really be redeemed and HOW?

All those questions are answered and more in The Surrender of Julia (Now and Forever 3). Her story is told in a series of flashbacks spanning over a decade. You not only get her perspective, but that of her former lover Jake, the love of her life Carmen, and her new friends she meets in Vegas during the present day scenes. 

The buzz is already starting about wanting to know more about Julia and Carmen's past together. Tammy's working on that as we "speak" today. In fact BOUND IN PARADISE will be one of the novellas in our Summer Lovin' anthology. Make sure you click on the poll on the right sidebar and vote for your favorite title!

Now back to Julia...

BLURB

L.A. artist phenom Julia Santos appeared to have it all. Bisexual and hedonistic, she grasped hold of her life with both hands. But unknown to those around her, inside she was lost. While her best friend Carmen, a Domme, gave her a sense of security she’d never felt before, Julia fled from giving herself over fully to her and love.

Still reeling from the effects of an abusive childhood, Julia denied her growing feelings for Carmen and ran straight into the arms of adoring men, dominating them with her seductive nature to get what she wanted from them. However, the erotic power she held over them didn’t give her the comfort she craved.

As she hurled herself further down the path of self-destruction, her behavior caught the attention of the Goddess Fate and her Guardian Angel Daniel. Together they intervene and transport her to the realm between life and death called the Island. There she’s given a choice: stay and wait for her next rebirth, or go back and fight to be with the one who had been there for her through every lifetime.

Will she take the easy way out and leave all the pain behind, or will she choose the long and hard road in order to have her happily ever after with the Mistress of her dreams?

ADULT EXCERPT F/F

Julia’s ass burned from the paddle and yet she craved more. She knew her Mistress would deliver the appropriate punishment. She always knew what to do for her to give them both the greatest amount of pleasure. “Yes, Mistress.”  Julia placed her palms flat on the carpet, curled her fingers inward, and gripped the plush fibers as Carmen worked her with the paddle. A few times the edges of the paddle connected with her cunt sending jolts of pleasure and pain through her body, igniting the passion she hadn’t felt in a long time. This was definitely where she belonged, with her Mistress, her true soul mate.

“You’re going to get to know this paddle well, my sweet, but not all tonight. We’ve plenty of time together and I’ve a lot of instruction planned for you.” Carmen slipped her fingers between Julia’s pussy lips. “So wet for me already, kitten. Do you know how much that pleases me?”

“I’ll do anything to please you.” Julia thrust back toward Carmen as her fingers slid over her clit and then quickly withdrew. “Please don’t stop, Mistress.”

Carmen laughed softly as she rubbed soothing cream with her soft hands over Julia’s thighs and bottom. “Don’t you worry, there’s going to be plenty of time for you to come for me, my love. Since it’s been such a long time, your skin isn’t used to being worked, but it will be.”

Shivers flew up and down Julia’s spine. The combination of the heat from the paddle, the coolness of the cream, and the touch of Carmen’s hands became almost too much to take, and yet it was exactly what she needed and longed for from the very start. She felt a tug on her outer lips as the bell clamps were removed and cream worked into the skin where they’d been for the last few hours. Julia moaned again as Carmen spread her ass cheeks and slipped two fingers into her tight opening, coating her with the cream and stretching her with each feathering stroke.

Carmen picked up the crop with the special latex covered handle and bulb at the tip. It resembled a long, thick cock and was in fact, one of Julia’s favorite toys.

Tonight she would be reacquainted with it. Just the sight of it made her body ache with need. The feel of the dildo sliding between her cheeks, sent a flood of her juices down her inner thighs with nothing she could do about it. She couldn’t hold it back any longer and hoped it wouldn’t displease her Mistress too much. A smile slowly formed on her lips thinking about what would happen next if Carmen followed her usual routine.

The bulb of the handle slowly slid passed the initial resistance to embed deep within her. Julia’s clit throbbed in response to the fullness of the crop buried in her ass, and her hips rocked. She ground her pussy into the ottoman, attempting to give her clit some relief.

Carmen wasn’t going to allow it however. “Kneel up, hands behind your back, kitten.”  She helped Julia get up and into position before shoving the crop a little deeper into her. “Now, I’m going to enjoy that hot bath you prepared for me. Keep your hands behind your back, legs apart, and that fake cock right where it is until I tell you otherwise. Are you okay with that or do you need a break, my pet?”

Julia swallowed hard and licked her lips. “I could use a drink of water, Mistress.”

 Carmen held a bottle of water with a straw while Julia drained nearly half of it in three gulps.

“Thank you.”

Carmen kissed her forehead and then her lips softly. “I won’t be long and then we’ll start again. I was thinking of our last session after you visited me today. We had such a short time together then, not enough to really see what both of us were made of. But this time, oh honey, this time we are going to be able to let everything and everyone else go.”

#FridayFantasy: @SassyVixenPub Presents Author Ruby Fielding's #Paranormal #Fantasy

Welcome to Friday Fantasy here at Sassy Vixen Publishing. I'm The Vixen and excited to welcome our guest today. Author Ruby Fielding starts off her mini tour of our sister blogs. Today's post we get an introduction to her characters from her novella Hunters: A Shifters' World. Sit back and relax and get to know Selene, Skinner and Marshall. Tomorrow Ruby will stop in to visit with the Four Seduced Muses! 

Ruby Fielding’s new shifter novella, Hunted, was recently published by James Grieve Press:

Should she struggle to survive alone or give in to desire and risk the - perhaps deadly - company of others?

In a world where plague has swept civilization away like leaves in a storm, where viruses that cause people to shift and change have altered what it is, for most, to be human, a few survivors hold out in a desperate attempt to save the human race. Selene lives alone in the forest, protecting herself from human and shifter alike until one day a stranger turns up: a young man called Skinner, out on a quest to hunt down and destroy any shifter he can find. Torn between desire and fear, Selene must confront her true nature and make some impossible choices if she is to survive this harsh, post-apocalyptic future.

Hunted: a Shifters' World novella - a shapeshifter erotic romance of survival and desire in a deadly future from the co-author of Seduced by Moonlight and The Touch.

“I'm a huge shifter fan. I get a kick out of reading even the predictable stuff over and over again, but Rudy Fielding's novella is an all original treat.” - from a five-star Amazon reader review.

Want to learn a bit more about Selene, Skinner and the other characters in Hunted? Read on!

Selene

Well... that’s what they call me. That’s the name Tabitha gave me when I ended up in that strange enclave, the Sanctum. Until then I’d lived a quiet life. I had shelter, and supplies of food and water. I kept myself safe, and I shut myself away at night... away from the shifters, the ones who had no control and became wild, dangerous beasts at night. That kind of existence, hiding away from the dangers of the world... well, it could never last. And sure enough, when Skinner blundered in with his smoldering eyes and his smooth turn of phrase, I knew that life was over. I wasn’t prepared for the intensity for the, for want of a better phrase, sheer animal attraction that might easily overpower me...

Skinner

I grew up in the camps, one of many refugees, protected from a world changed by viruses that turn humans into something else entirely. I grew up in the camps, determined to break out and see something of this scary new world. And so I took the first opportunity to go out hunting the beasts. They didn’t call me ‘Skinner’ for nothing.

Marshall

I am one of the last true humans, untainted by the shifting viruses, and I have taken it up on myself to preserve my kind. I am the founder of an enclave of true humans, a place we call the Sanctum. We protect ourselves from the plagues, and from the beasts, and our long-term strategy is to breed our kind. Yes, I am a man surrounded by women and some might see me as lucky to be in such a position. But me? I am simply serving my kind.

Tabitha

I serve Marshall, but he barely sees me. In a community where a woman’s role is to breed, a barren woman is a non-person, little more than a slave. But a person in the shadows who nobody sees can be full of surprises, and I think that in Selene I have found not only a true friend, but a person who is key to this dangerous, changed world of ours.

Excerpt

What he’s like.

He was a good half a head taller than Selene, broad across the shoulders, narrow at the hips. He had blue eyes that cut right through you and fleshy, sensuous lips. Dark hair, a fuzz of stubble along his jaw and a scar that ran down one side of his neck.

He looked at her as if he were sizing up a horse. His gaze worked up and down her body as if he could see through her gown, before fixing on her eyes again. “So,” he said, in a deep voice, “you’re the new one. You think you might like it here?”

She met his look. She wasn’t going to be intimidated. She had survived this far on her own, after all.

So why did her voice fail her at that moment? Why did she open her mouth but only a faint croak escape? “I...” That and a shrug were all she could manage.

He stepped closer then, and raised a hand.

For an instant she thought he was going to strike her, but then he simply reached out, and pressed his knuckles to her cheek, a surprisingly gentle touch. “I hope you do,” he went on. “I’d really like you to stay. Come. Let’s walk.”

He took her by the arm and led her outside into the harsh morning sunlight.

“What is this place?” she asked, as they walked across a yard where women tended neat vegetable plots.

“The Sanctum,” he said. “A sanctuary from the wild lands. A refuge for pure humankind. We protect ourselves. We are the future of our species.”

Passing through a gap between buildings, they emerged in an open space, children running around, tended by more of the Sanctum’s women.

“These women,” said Selene, clarity striking her mind like a beam of sunlight breaking through the clouds. “These children...”

Marshall nodded. “It is our duty to preserve humankind,” he said.

He moved round to stand in front of her, so close. “We all must play our part.”

“And if I don’t want to?”

“I would be duty-bound to persuade you.”

With that, he took the back of her head in one strong hand and pressed his mouth to hers. A brief kiss, and then it was over, he was stepping back and turning away. She was left standing there, her heart racing again and her responses so mixed up and contradictory she didn’t know whether to run or throw herself at him.

“I...” Her voice was gone again. Why was she reacting like this? She was a strong, independent woman, a survivor.

It was a thing to fear, she knew. Such strong, immediate reactions. Animal responses. It scared her.

He paused and turned back, smiling, an expression that was totally disarming. “And I tell you,” he said, “persuasion is one of the best parts.”

Maya DeLeina’s A Winter’s Ecstasy 

The snow was coming. That much she knew.

Noel Tierney thought she’d have enough time to make it to her holiday retreat. But poor visibility during the peak of the snowstorm leads to a crash. She lay immobile in her vehicle, stranded in a ditch along a remote stretch of the Colorado mountain pass. 

But Grayson James was coming. That she didn’t know.

Noel has no choice but to wait out the storm at her rescuer’s cabin nestled deep in the woods. Temptation builds. Fantasies rouse. Self-control unravels.  

For three days and nights, Noel and Grayson’s passions are unleashed, hot enough to melt the winter’s ice. 

Prepare for a delicious tale of rescue, rapture and mystery that will leave you breathless.

You may even find yourself deliberating over one question.  

Why are there no mirrors in Grayson’s cabin?

May Water’s Ski Bunny Blues

When warm weather loving Max is transferred from California back to New Hampshire for work, his first thought is Oh, crap. He moved away from his childhood state for a reason: he hates snow. Not only will he be relocating at the start of winter, he'll be living in his boss’s condo, right at a ski area! 

Max attempts to find himself a fireplace buddy through online dating, but gives up after a string of failures. Then along comes Shawn, a hunky part time ski slope employee, and full time contractor. Shawn definitely warms Max's cockles by the fire, but is he enough to keep Max from scurrying back to California when the snow hits?

Nicole Morgan’s Christmases Past

After 12 years of marriage, Priscilla Blackwood has decided to leave her workaholic husband. For years they tried, but were unsuccessful in their attempts to conceive a child. The failure she feels from this further reinforces her decision to say goodbye.  

Max Blackwood loves his wife and has no intention of letting her go without a fight. In the midst of a winter storm he sets out to find her at their mountain cabin in hopes he can get through to her before it is too late.

Being stranded in a blizzard is enough to force the couple to deal with the pieces of their broken relationship, but will it be enough to repair their marriage, or will they end up losing the only person they’ve ever loved.

Tammy Dennings Maggy’s Meet Me Under the Mistletoe

When Steve Sanders became a US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer nearly twenty years ago, he knew he’d have to put his life on the line with each mission. Unfortunately, only three days before Christmas, Steve has to come face to face with the real possibility he’d break his promise to his wife and not return back to her and their unborn child.

Jolene Sanders is nearing the end of a difficult pregnancy and looking forward to finally spending their wedding anniversary with her husband. However, her holiday spirits are shattered when a distress call from a sinking fishing vessel calls the Coast Guard into action and puts her husband’s life on the line once again.

Left behind in a life raft during the rescue, Steve’s fate is now at the mercy of the wicked Bering Sea. Will this truly be his last mission, or will a miracle bring him back to meet his wife under the mistletoe? 

Lia Michaels’s Have a Naughty, Naughty Christmas

Candice Monroe’s restaurant, Candy Kisses is the place to be during the holidays in the Detroit Metro area. The menu of old classics and one-of-a-kind specialties keep customers coming back for more. As a result, she and her partners don’t have a moment to breathe let alone act upon the growing sexual tension building between the three of them.

Former Marines and sometimes lovers, Alexander Rabinov and Gabriel Jacobs help keep the restaurant running smoothly. Alex’s culinary skills and Gabe’s expertise as pastry chef combine well with Candice’s vision for the future of the business, and her secret desires.

Just when the men are about to act on their feelings and whisk her away for a much needed vacation, international playboy Darrin Bryant calls with an offer they just can’t refuse. He’ll front the money for Candice to expand the restaurant if they spend the holiday weekend catering a gathering at his home. The offer came with one more stipulation. Candice is to act as Darrin’s companion in front of the guests, but he made it clear he wished for more—from all of them. 

Will Darrin’s proposition come between the trio, or help them fulfill their wildest naughty Christmas fantasies?  


So there you have it! All five Christmas novellas wrapped up in one fine package. Look here and with Four Seduced Muses for more details when it gets closer to our release date. December 13th here we come!

#FlashbackFriday: The Sassy Vixen Spotlight is on Tammy Dennings Maggy #romance #paranormal #MyWANA

Round, round, get around, I get around! Yes, you guessed it! Lia is in the house and taking over the reigns of the Sassy Vixen blog. I ran over here from The House of Taboo, so please forgive me for being a bit out of breath. ;) 

Okay, I was a little distracted by the two hunks after my interview with Morticia Knight. I just can't help myself around men with tats. Whew!

Seriously, can you blame me. All that color on all those muscles...

And let's not forget that smile. The man can melt the panties off of a room full of women (and men!) with that smile...


Lia! Snap out of it woman! I thought we were here today to kick off a flashback tour of my Now and Forever series.

Yes! Sorry about that folks. Today I get to have my alter ego Tammy in the hot seat to kick off her tour. You see, in case you've all been hiding under a rock—

LIA!!!

Well, they would have to be in order to miss all the excitement around here. We've been gearing up for the new release for several months. The one we're talking about today have been available for nearly a year. You sure did take your sweet time finishing this one. Sheesh. You left us hanging for quite awhile. 

Like you, I get distracted at times by hunky men. I did get married 17 months ago you know. 

Yes I know. You finally got your own Knight in Shining Armor with your Liam. He is all that and a bag of chips, no?

I think so! Oh, and he has several tattoos!

Oh stop it! You are just rubbing it in now. Why don't you tell every one more about your last release, The Island (Now and Forever 2).

Well, this book begins a year after For the Love of Quinn. At the heart of it, The Island is a prequel. It fills in the blanks of the first book. The third book will actually take place at the same time as this one, but through the eyes of another character.

So this is where we get to find out exactly how it is Quinn and Jacob have this overwhelming attraction to each other the moment they first meet in Vegas? Was it really love at first sight?

Yes and no. You see, these two are destined to be together. Unfortunately, through each and every lifetime, they have made choices that have pulled them apart instead of bringing them together. Over and over again they search for each other and fail. Finally the Gods can't take it any longer.

Is this where the hunky Guardians come into the story?

LOL! Yes indeed. The Guardians are what most people would call Guardian Angels. Two very special ones were chosen in order to intervene with Quinn and Jacob. The Goddess Fate picked them herself. 

Let me see if I can remember all of this correctly. The Guardian Michael is actually Jacob's father and the Guardian Daniel is Quinn's younger brother? Fate thought it was a good idea to bring their dead relatives into the picture? Wouldn't that be hard on all parties involved here? I know I would be freaked out if it happened to me.

It was a bit difficult for Michael and Daniel to watch over the couple. There were times they couldn't intervene directly and it was frustrating for them. I think the person who had it the hardest was in fact Quinn. Daniel had passed away only a month before she is taken to the Island for the first time. She was still mourning for him.

I thought you were going to say it was hardest on Jacob. Michael had only been gone a year for him. It's been seven years for your dad. I know it's still hard on you...especially this time of year.

Yeah. Let's just say Thanksgiving is a pretty rough time of year for me. I know my dad would be very proud of what I've accomplished so far. He was my biggest cheerleader.  Ummmm...can we get back to the book please.

Sure thing. So is there a lot of hot sex in this one too?

Who do you think you're talking to, girlie? Of course there's a lot of hot sex in this one and the rest of the books in the series. Did you really think I would have it any other way? ;)

Just checkin', Vixen. I wouldn't want anyone to think I was being soft on you during the interview. Rumor has it during one of the flashback scenes there is a bit of bondage between Jacob and his then girlfriend, Julia Santos. 


You met Julia. How hot do you think that scene was?

She does have a way about her that gets the blood pumping! All I can say is Jacob never had a chance with that one! LOL

Maybe. And maybe not. I believe people cross each other's paths for a reason. There are lessons to be learned with each encounter, both good and bad. Once we learn what we need to, we are able to move on. So it is with both Quinn and Jacob. There are still people they have yet to cross paths with before they actually can meet again in the real world. 

So The Goddess gives them the gift of being able to be together long before they can actually meet?

Uh huh. Since they couldn't seem to connect in past lives, Fate felt it was necessary to bring them together on the Island so they could build the bond between them. Once they would meet again, the pull between them would be undeniable. 

But in order to have their happily ever after, they had to choose to be torn apart again? That's so sad!

On the surface it would seem so, but really it's not. The hard part for both of them is believing in the promise given to them by the Gods, believing they are worthy of such a gift, and overall believing in themselves once again.

Well, you know I'm hooked on this series. So when will you have the next book out? 

LOL! Let's get through this retro release tour first and then we'll talk more about The Surrender of Julia. You can't fool me, honey. I know you just want to hear more about the scenes between Julia and her Mistress, Carmen.

Okay, well you got me there! So where can we get The Island?

Just click on the button below and it will take you right to the Bookstrand page where it's now available. Or you can find it on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes and many other retail outlets. In fact, if you purchase the print version of this book, Amazon will allow you to purchase the ebook version for only $2.99. 

Join both of us over at The House of Taboo next week. Tammy will be on the Center Stage and will share a hot excerpt from The Island with us. Wait until she sees who I lined up to read it!

In the meantime, you can check  her website Behind Closed Doors. It's updated regularly so you won't miss any release dates! Of course you can always find out when the next Sassy Vixen books from Tammy, myself, Stephanie Ryan and our newest member of the "family" Tawny Savage will be released just by looking for news here or on our website.

Here's the video trailer for The Island. Let Tammy know what you think!

Until next time-

#OhMyMonday: Author Grinelda Markowitz and Her Moon-Kissed Chi Book Tour #eroticfiction #fantasy

Welcome to Sassy Vixen's Oh My! Monday. I'm The Vixen and your host for today's festivities.  Today we're welcoming author Grinelda Markowitz and her novel The Moon-Kissed Chi. It's her very first e-published book of erotic fiction and the first book of her Kalaydan Chronicles series.  So without further adieu...

Blurb 

From the quirkiness of her daughter to the equine escapades of Bezhyanya (her sworn bedmate) and Grayt (her serving woman), Arrinay, ruler of Kalaydan, is faced with many concerns throughout her day which she handles with grace, poise and dignity.  Will she be able to meet the challenges to come?

In the City of Kalaydan, Arrinay and Bezhyanya, the senior members of the ruling family, are faced with the early maturation of their daughter, Gayadnae.  She must start the training.  It’s Kalaydan law.  Their daughter has other ideas.  After concocting a plan to avoid responsibility and almost succeeding in carrying it out, Gayadnae’s life takes an unexpected turn.  Grayt, the ever-present serving woman to Arrinay, fills many roles and has her fingers in a number of pies.  There’s definitely more to her than is apparent on the surface.  Along with coordinating activities in the Main House, keeping the young mistress in line, and talking to horses, Grayt has a more secret agenda with graver responsibilities.

A hint of trouble on the horizon and other darker activities weave their way through the backdrop of this delightful tale which takes place in the city of Kalaydan.

Excerpt

Upon entering her room, Gayadnae flounced on her bed once the curtain had closed behind her.  She screamed into the mattress and kicked her legs and arms.  Finally, spent, she rolled over and looked up at the ceiling.

Me?  In a robe?  Not on this side of the coldest reaches, ever!

Slowly she sat upright and rose to her feet.

I’ll show them.  If I can get to the Warriors’ Guild and pledge my services, I’ll have immunity from anything they want me to do.

Walking over to the alcove where her clothing was stored, she searched for her battle leathers then yanked the gray leather clothing from the shelf and tossed them on the bed.  She stepped gingerly across the floor, avoiding the stuff strewn about to get to her bathroom and start the water flow in the tub.

I’m going to have to remind Grayt, again, to give my room a going over.

She sprinkled sayoodsy flakes into the stream of hot water.  The flakes bubbled and flowed with the water around the bottom of the tub.  She dropped her clothes on the floor and stepped into the still-filling tub.

Not all of the warrior women have the training.  The ones that do, don’t stopcock.  That’s part of what makes the guild function well in a community of males and females who have no attachments and who are very physical people.  Share and share alike.  I’m sure I’d have more fun anyway.

She leaned back on the tub and sighed, content with her plan.  As the sound of flowing water soothed her mind, she planned her escape.  When she was satisfied she could pull it off, she reached for the container she kept tucked behind all the other jars of scented flakes.  The tub was almost full when she sprinkled a small handful of pawpi flakes under the stream of water.

Just enough to make the evening bearable.

As with each previous time she’d sought an essence dream over the last few mooncycles, she saw him.  He was tall and sylphlike with long, silver-white dreads.  His eyes flashed blue and silver fire.  He had a koq any equine stud would envy.  It stood upright and the head rose above his belly button.  He was well-muscled on a graceful frame and sparkled like crushed glass in the silver moonlight.  He turned as if to leave and started to walk away, then turned again.  His firm, taut buttocks flexed as he turned and walked toward her instead.

“Come with me,” he said as he smiled.

His voice was like the rarely-chill wind which blew across Kalaydan to herald an oncoming storm.  His smile showed sharp, needle-like teeth.

“Do you fear me, my other half?”  He asked.

She nodded then shook her head, then nodded again.  Hesitating at first, she stepped forward gingerly.

“Who are you?”  She asked with a trembling voice.

He stepped forward then retreated quickly as he looked over his shoulder.  Suddenly, he was right before her.

“Remember me.  You must complete me.”

He took her in his arms and kissed her with lips that were neither cold nor hot yet they aroused in her a longing.  She felt his body press against hers.  His pelvis pressed its throbbing member against her belly.  When he stepped back, she was breathless.  She longed to feel more of his touch but he stepped away from her and turned.  As he walked away from her he faded into nothing, leaving a question on her lips.

“How?”

She came out of her trance when she heard Grayt’s voice in the distance.

“Mistress Gayadnae?  Can I help you prepare?”

“Uh, no Grayt.  I’m fine.”

Happy Friday, my sassy ones! I'm The Vixen and one of the hosts here at the Sassy Vixen blog. Today we have a special treat. Fellow Siren author Tasha Blackstone is here to share a smokin' HAWT adult excerpt from her new release Echo in the Night. It's from the Siren Allure imprint and it's labeled as SEXTREME! (fans self). If you don't know what that means, well, let's just say you better have a lover close by when you read it because you will be on FIRE!

But before we get to that, Tasha and I have the second half of her spotlight interview to finish. The first half was on our sister blog Behind Closed Doors on June 29th. Go ahead and read that portion while we get set up for the rest.  Go on. We've got plenty of time.

Are you all caught up now? Excited to learn more about Tasha and her new fantasy paranormal erotic romance? Good. Here we go!

Who inspires you and why? (loved ones, friends, authors, public figures, historical figures, actors, teachers etc)

My family are my biggest inspiration and fans. My mom has always been my cheerleader and as time went on my husband picked up some pom-poms and my kids are always encouraging me. My daughter dreams of the day when my mainstream novel is published and she can tell her friends that her mom is an author. LOL

What inspires you and why? (Art, poetry, music, movie, book, etc. Please share something specific if you like.)

I wish I could say my inspiration comes from something beautiful like a sunset or words of a song, but I’m so all over the place. My brain goes through the what-if scenario with just about everything. I once got a text from my best friend that vaguely said “Coming over, need to talk”. I ran through about twenty different scenarios in the 5 minutes that it took for her to get to my house. My mom laughed and told me that it’s no wonder I am a writer because she would have never come up with half the shit that I did. 

Besides reading and writing, what activities do you enjoy in your leisure time?

In addition to writing, I’m also an artist. I love to draw and paint, hell I’m even known to break out a coloring book and my ‘not for kids’ box of perfectly sharpened crayons. I also love to wire wrap jewelry and on occasion, I’ll even partake in a cross-stitching pattern. 

In one or two sentences, give the core premise behind your story.

Echo has struggle to move on with life after the death of Charlie, but when Henry makes an offer on the house she has never seen that Charlie bought for her, she is forced to face her past head on. Little did she know that not only would she find the home she’d been missing within the walls of the house, but she would also find the one man who could remind her how to live again. 

When and where does your book take place?

Echo in the Night is set in the Pacific Northwest during modern day. 

How does the time and setting weave into the plot and persona of the characters?

I really wanted the setting to be a place that Echo could let her guard down, open up and show vulnerability so I chose Central Oregon because it is as close to God’s country as possible. Nature combined with modern amenities, there’s always something going on and everywhere you look, you see breathtaking scenery. 

Who is the heroine? 

Echo Abbot, a Witch coming into her powers who was born from a long line of Vampire Hunters.

What drives her?

Really, the driving factor for Echo is truth. She is so sick of lies and façade that she simply wants the truth, and she really doesn’t care what the truth is. 

What is she running away from (literally or figuratively)?

She’s been running from heartbreak for a long time. Charlie was the love of her life and when he died, a piece of her died with him. She has spent years avoiding confronting her past and the loss.

What obstacles will she encounter in this story?

Her biggest obstacle is acceptance. She didn’t know that she was a Witch or that Vampires were real so as she stumbles along her way, she has to accept that these things are real and find a way to integrate them into her everyday life, casting disbelief and judgment aside. 

What does she need to learn to make the happy ending possible?

She needs to learn how to trust again and that even though everything she spent her life believing in has all been a lie, it’s okay to take a chance and put herself out there again. Not everyone will lie to you and not everyone will hurt you.

Wow! This sounds simply de-LISH already but I'm sure you all want to find out a bit more before heading on over to get your own copy. In the first part of this interview you were treated to a story excerpt and now here's the ADULT EXCERPT as promised. Trust me. You'll be saying a hell of a lot more than OH MY! by the time you've finished. ;)

ADULT EXCERPT

“Head down, love, and spread your legs for me—I want to see how wet you are.”

She obliged, pressing her head deep in the overstuffed comforter and spreading her legs wide. She could feel Henry hovering over her pussy as he took a deep breath and inhaled her arousal before she felt his tongue trail along the length of her pussy lips. She moaned into the bed and wiggled her ass at him, eager for him to take her fully into his mouth. His hands spread her cheeks apart and his tongue teasingly trailed along her slit again. 

“Tell me what you want, love.”

“I want you,” she moaned. 

He gripped her cheeks tighter and she heard an animallike growl rumble from his gut.

“Yes—and?”

“I want you, Henry! I want you to devour my pussy and make me come!”

“Good girl.” His mouth was suddenly pressed firmly to her, caressing his lips around her pussy lips, tongue pushing deep into her body.

She cried out into the blanket and bucked her hips, pushing against him, eager to feel him as deep as he could be. His tongue wiggled around, licking around in circles, flicking in and out. He dragged it up her slick fold, lapping at her leaking juices as he pushed her hips forward revealing her hidden clit. Her nub pulsed and tingled in wait, and when his tongue teased the tip, she cried out louder, her need controlling her vocals. He continued to flick across her clit, building up her orgasm to the point that she could barely control it. When he sucked the sensitive nub in between his lips, she was done. Her hips seized as the walls of her pussy clenched in response to the ache and pleasure that now flooded her body. As he sucked hard on her clit, draining her of every electrifying surge, her juices flowed down her slit, drenching her. Her body relaxed and Henry continued to dine on her, lapping at her nectar, licking and sucking at her lips, drinking in every last drop that her body released. When her pussy was spent, he flipped her onto her back. His lips glistened with her juices and he dragged his tongue, cleaning up the last bit that had been smeared over his mouth, as he unzipped his trousers and let them fall to the floor, revealing his dick pushing hard against the fabric of his boxer briefs. 

Nervous excitement filled her as her eyes fell to his cock. Even hidden he was huge. 

His fingers slid between the band and his waist and he slid the boxer briefs down over his hips, his dick springing to life, pre-cum glistening at the slit. 

“Oh my gawd,” she whispered. 

He looked to be a generous eight or nine inches with impressive girth, veins etched along the shaft, skin pulled tight like satin over steel, his mushroomed head purple with need. 

“I’ll be gentle,” he promised.
