Interview with romance author ANNA KERALEIGH

Hello Anna and welcome to Bitten By Paranormal Romance! I sure enjoyed reading about those "muscled models" wearing loincloths in FAIRY FLAVOR. I'm looking forward to your next FAIRY installment!


Please tell us a little about yourself.
I’ve always been a reader and an animal lover. Fairy Flavor was my first attempt at a novel and I’m so in love with writing it’s like the ultimate orgasm. Romance to me is filled with so much hope and never ending promises. Combine that with the limitless possibilities of fantasy and I’m in heaven.


What inspired you to write?
My nose was always in a book as a kid and then I seen the movie Romancing the Stone. From that moment on, I knew I wanted to be a writer. It was always something I wanted to do and when I lost my job last year I decided to give it a try. So far, the feedback has been fantastic and a dream come true.


Do you have a favorite among your heroes and heroines?
Each character has their own features that make me fall in love and care about their future. Brook was very much like myself and Carrick seemed so genuinely sweet, it was so wonderful to write their story. I just finished writing Thame’s story, The Ravaged Fairy. I was a little unsure at the beginning how all would work out. He’s so solitary and didn’t have a personality that really came across as ‘mate friendly’. All that changed as he meets a shy clumsy Irish lass. He bloomed, peeked, opened up, whatever you want to call it. Thame became a man with a heart. That has endeared him to me forever.


I am very excited about writing Whisper’s story. He’s something special to me, a secret crush. Is it sad I have a crush on a figment of my own imagination? I guess that’s one of the perks of being an author. *Grins*


I also can’t wait to write Morrigan, Brook’s cousin into the series. She’s grabbing my heart and not letting go. Her personality is a tough girl that will not take crap from anybody. I can’t help but wonder what she’ll do when faced with a sexy fairy intent on seducing her.

Who are your favorite authors? Favorite books?
There are just so many wonderful authors out there. Shayla Black, Lora Leigh, Nalini Singh, all the talented ladies at Evernight Publishing. I read just about anything in romance.


Do you write any other sub-genre? Do you have a favorite?
I love romance, I’m a hopeful romantic. I also am enamored with the fantasy genre. Where else can romance collide with fairy folklore and create Fairy Flavor? There are just so many possibilities and twists. I love it.


What are you working on next? Are there any plans for Valen “the sex God on steroids” story? He desperately needs his own HEA!
Everybody loves Valen, I had no idea he’d go over so big. He will indeed get his own story. I have the list of whose book is next and a ‘meet the fairies’ page on my website.


Please tell us a little about The Fairy Series.

The Fairy species is dying out. Only seven males and two female fairies remain. With the discovery of human mates, they must now find the other half of their soul. As if finding one person in all the earth isn’t hard enough. Fiendish creatures know as trolls lay in wait to destroy every fairy in existence and take control of the beautiful fairy kingdom. Will this be the last of the fairies?

What inspired you to have your Fairies, the male variety, wear nothing more than loincloths?

Selfishness, lol, if I had to write and picture them all day they were going to wear very little. Clothes should not cover up all those hard muscles and tanned skin.

Review of FAIRY FLAVOR

JUST FOR FUN!

Favorite Movie or Television program:
Just one? I can’t do it. There are so many I watch repeatedly. True Blood, Castle, Cleopatra 2525, Robin Hood (with Kevin Costner), The Three Musketeers (Yes, the one with Charlie Sheen, before he was a warlock.), The Matchmaker, etc. (I could go on for pages.)


Coffee or Tea:
Both, with a side of hot naked man. (Brad Pitt or Eric Northman will do.)


Favorite food:
Chocolate covered strawberries.


Car I'd like to own before I kick the bucket:
I’m very earth friendly and I can’t wait to get my hands on that new electric car!


Favorite ice cream:
Chocolate because you can put it on any part of the body and it will taste delicious.

Anna, thank you for being our guest today.  It's been fun and ITA about chocolate!

Three magical dimensions…Two mystical bloodlines…One undeniable destiny.

Born a magical empath, Logan MacKenzie has spent his life protecting his family from discovery. Evil has found them anyway. What begins as Logan’s search for answers on Earth becomes a race for survival in the magical dimension of Loci.

The battle to save those he cares about will reveal his true lineage—the bloodline of the Makir, one half of a pair of sentinels chosen to guard the mystical portals between dimensions. The price of his acceptance: a love he never imagined possible and a heartbreaking choice.


Her family attacked, her home destroyed, and now stranded on Loci, Briallen of Tir Thar, descendant of a magical race, has only to summon the power within her to return to her own dimension—or so she had hoped. Unfortunately, her powers aren’t cooperating, and the sorcerer bent on her family’s destruction will stop at nothing to possess her.

Raised without knowledge of the portals, the Makir guardians, or her own destiny, Bri takes a leap of faith in an alliance with Logan. Embracing an uncertain power and accepting his goals as hers offers her the only way home. If they fail, the consequences of allowing the portals to fall to evil are unthinkable—the destruction of every magical dimension throughout space.

MY REVIEW

This book is not what I expected.  You know how you read a synopsis and get a “feel” for what a book will be about?  Well I got one for this book, and then things didn’t go that way at all.  I suppose the biggest reason I was wrong is that I didn’t realize that this was only the beginning of a new series.  So I assumed that everything would get wrapped up in one book, and obviously it didn’t.  So, if this helps you for when you start to read, so much the better.

Moving on, the story started out with action, and introducing us to Briallen, or Bri for short.  Shortly after the story shifts and we are introduced to Logan and his cousin, Robert.  All 3 have magical abilities, but exactly what they are capable of varies between them.  Logan and Bri’s relationship starts out slow, but eventually we get to the good stuff.  J 

Some of the descriptions could get lengthy and confusing, but I was able to work my way through them.  I think some of the confusion comes from the world building. 

Overall, the book was decent, and enough was left hanging that I’m interested in knowing what happens next and how many books will be in the series.  From the author’s website there is at least a novella and a 2^nd full book.

When she takes on the protection of a science geek for a vampire clan, she doesn’t expect her temporary girlfriend status to come with lots of pleasure.

Everything changes after an incident in the lab, but before she can decide if it’s safe to give him her heart, she has to help him survive.

The Geek Job is not your typical erotic paranormal romance. Nope, Eve shows her talent yet again for writing something different and hot. I have to admit at first I wasn’t warming up to this story, but as I keep reading I found Eve added her twist to the story and made this geek into a hot demanding alpha. Oh my, *fan self*. Now, I need to find a geek for myself LOL.. You have to read “The Geek Job” for yourself to find out what this geek turned himself into in order to keep his lady wolf.

Review Love Tattoo by Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy

Tttle:Love Tattoo by
Author:Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy
Source: Requested review
Genre:Paranormal romance- Vampire
Length: Novella
Author website 

One unexpected late night encounter and one titillating kiss detours Cara Riley from reaching Nashville for her last shot at a singing career and lands her in Memphis.

Dark, mysterious truck driver Will Brennan oozes sexuality and Cara finds herself drawn to him. He brings her to a higher level of sensual pleasure than she even imagined could be possible. As their relationship explodes into something real, she learns he has more than a few quirks-he sleeps by day and prowls by night.

At his home-a castle-nestled in a wooded area just outside Memphis, she learns just what his sweet love tattoos really mean and must decide if she wants another. Whether or not they find their happy ending is all up to Cara.

Rating-

Sexual-

Love Tattoo is a very sweet romance story between a hero vampire and a heroine human. This is not an adventure or fast action read. This is about two meeting and falling in love, getting to know each other and accepting each other. There a lot of sexual tension and sex, but it’s on the less steamy side. Even though this is a short novella the author tells a lot about both Will and Cara so you get to know them. I enjoyed reading this love story and I recommend this to anyone who just wants a simple love story without complications.

Tease:
I am either your worst nightmare or your salvation.” That voice purred like a happy cat on a comfortable lap. “My name is Will Brennan and it is a pleasure to meet you.”
He told his name so it seemed like I had to give him mine.
“I’m Cara Riley.” I stuck my hand out to him to shake but instead he took it in his then bent down over it to kiss it. Both his fingers and his lips felt cold to me but I figured it was just that hot summer morning. No one ever kissed my hand before, ever, and I liked it. Will did it with graceful, suave moves more suitable to a
nobleman at a royal court and not the truck driver I guessed he must be.

She never expected to fall in love with Death. 

Marigold has a date with Death, but when she foils his plan to take her soul back to Hell, she invites him to dinner instead.

Mictain, an Aztec god who now collects the dead for Satan, is baffled at his interest in the plump human who can see him. Intrigued--and in lust--he can’t help pursuing her. But things are never simple when gods are involved.

Lucifer, Lord of Hell tries to warn him away and even Marigold’s long lost father decides to butt in. But, despite the opposition, things heat up between them, and Marigold learns, when Death comes calling, it’s best to get naked and invite him into bed—and her heart.

Eve Langlais has another winner with Date with Death. I found this novella cleverly written and very sexy. Then again who wouldn’t love to read about a sexy Aztec god who collects the dead for Satan? Mictain isn’t your ordinarily grim reaper that we have come to know today, he is a little different. He’s sent to collect a witch not fall in love with her. But then Marigold is no ordinary witch either. As the daughter of one of the more powerful, he may ended up being dead himself if he isn’t careful. This was another fun read by Eve. If you want something short sexy and fun, here you go.

I loved reading both Mictain and Marigold. Marigold is a fire ball in sex and life in general, so don’t get on her bad side. After Mictain made a grave mistake with Marigold he has to be persistent in winning her love. It makes the reading more fun when the hero has to work on winning the heroine;)

Tease:
Screw it, he probably thinks I’m nuts already anyway. She peeked down and bit her lip at the bulge which filled out the fabric as she watched. Maybe we should skip dinner and go right to dessert.

“Would you like me to get naked so you can get a better look?” His sarcastic words made her tear her eyes away and look at his face.

Marigold smiled wickedly. “I’d love for you to get naked, but you might find my kitchen chairs cold on the ass seeing as how they don’t have any cushions. But, it’s up to you. I sure wouldn’t mind some visual candy while we eat.”

Who will be the Last Minion Standing? 

All I said was I needed a minion, the next thing I know, I'm embroiled in a reality show with cameras following me everywhere. I should have told them not to bother, for I was ready to declare a winner-and get naked-the moment I met Drake. Shirtless and shoeless, in low slung jeans, I could think of so many ways he could serve me—especially in bed.

But, Drake, the super sexy dragon shifter, is after more than a chance to work alongside me in my battle to capture evil souls, he also wants to win my heart. But love is for weaklings, and no matter how much he tortures me sexually, I will not give in, even when he resorts to restraints and flogging. Mmm, bring it on-harder please.

A fun and erotic paranormal tale for those who like a shifter who's found his mate. 




Excerpt: (18 & over please below)


And that’s when he appeared. He dropped down from the night sky, an agile hunk of male who made my jaw drop for several reasons. One, he wore only a pair of indecently low slung jeans, with no shirt and no shoes. I mean who came to a fight barefoot? This simple fact distracted me and turned on my lust, which in turn annoyed me. Wasn’t there an unwritten rule somewhere which stated like most restaurants, shirts and shoes must be worn to a fight? If not, I’d start a lobby for one because the amount of naked--mmm muscled--torso displayed was waaaaay too distracting for poor little me, who obviously hadn’t received a good shag in a while.

The second thing which made speechless--a state my dad would have found amusing--was the fact Mr. Hunky gave me a masculine grin--a naughty one which made me cream my panties--and said in a velvety baritone, “Run along, sweetheart. I’ve got this.”

Me, one of Hell’s most successful bounty hunters, dismissed with a smile and a wave of his hand. His treatment made me want to tear his pants off and ride him like a cowgirl--I mean, he’d called me sweetheart, how hot was that?--while at the same time making me see red. I’m gonna wipe the smirk off his face. Then I’m gonna kiss him. Then...

Caught in so many conflicting emotions, I’m afraid I didn’t react quickly enough and he took matters into his own hands--did I mention they were huge? He turned and gave me his back--which I’ll admit was almost as sexy as his front and which would have only been improved with a set of nail marks, mine of course. With an animalistic grace that would have put most predators to shame, he approached my target and engaged him in a slug fest.

Damn, did I need a fan or, even better, a really cold ice pack for my crotch. Heat suffused me as I watched him dance around a dazed looking Albert. I’d forgotten all about the bounty in my fascination with watching him move. Just like a man, lust made all the blood in my brain rush to other places and I think I might have drooled.

Mr. Hunky used no weapon unlike the scuzzball Albert who wielded a serrated knife, a fact which did not daunt my shoeless hero. His fists flashed and connected with solid thumps. The escaped soul reeled beneath the force of his blows, but no matter how well my hero acquitted himself, he couldn’t win. Souls couldn’t die.

Sucking in my stomach--scrawny I was not--I strutted over to interfere and send the wandering one back to Hades. I looked forward to collecting my reward for a job well done and as a treat for being hot, I’d bestow some of my pleasure on the treasure hidden in Mr. Hunky’s pants.

Before I could touch Albert and say the words to send him back where he belonged, my shirtless wonder said them, and with a dwindling scream of frustration--a scream I almost repeated--my new pair of shoes, umm target, was sucked back to Hell.

I gaped at the glistening skin on the back of my shirtless hunk, too angry for words--not to mention still hornier than ever.

He turned and faced me. With a sensual smile, he strutted towards me, and even in my pissed off state, I couldn’t help the arousal that flashed through me. He was fucking gorgeous. Built like an ox and at least six and a half feet, he towered over me. Slabs of muscle covered his impossibly wide chest and his arms where so thick I doubted I could get both hands around them. His skin was tanned and smooth while his unruly hair was black as night. Fuck me, I wanted him--naked, like right now.

A light glinted in his shockingly blue eyes and I wondered briefly what demon caste he belonged to, for this close I could sense his otherness.

I said nothing when he placed a hand around my waist and pulled me up to his lips. I wanted him to kiss me. The touch of his hard lips on mine sent an electric shock throughout my body and I clutched at him tightly, my knees buckling. His mouth slanted over mine, claiming mine masterfully. I gave back as good as I got, slipping my tongue between his lips to wetly tangle with his. I lost myself in the pleasure of the kiss. Unlike many prudes, I saw no issue with making out with guys I barely knew. I tended to live in the moment, and boy, this was one moment I didn’t want to end.

Plastered against his solid length, I couldn’t miss his erection which pulsed against me behind the confining material of his jeans. I ground myself against it, and he grunted in my mouth. He slid his hands down from my waist to cup my full ass and pressed me more firmly against him. Oh sweet fucking bliss. Wet didn’t come close to describing the state of my pussy and I couldn’t wait to soak his cock.

If it hadn’t been for the stupid drunken humans who came stumbling into the alley, I would have fucked him, right there against the brick wall in the alley. But I had a softer bed at my place. We separated, our breathing uneven, pulses racing and I opened my mouth to tell him to come back to my apartment so I could make him a lucky man.

He, unfortunately, spoke first and ruined my mood. “You’re welcome.”

I think my jaw dropped. I know I clenched a fist when I asked him tightly, “Welcome for what?”

“Rescuing you, of course.”

I gaped at him, then I lost it. “Listen here, “I sputtered.

“Drake.”

Ooh, hot name, but I wouldn’t let his hotness distract me from my anger, lusty hormones or not. “I don’t know who you think you are, but I had things perfectly under control ‘til you decided to jump out of the sky like some underdressed Batman and take over. That was my bounty you stole.”

He scoffed at me. I know. I was surprised I didn’t kill him either.

“Please, a cute little thing like you a bounty hunter?”

I restrained myself from preening. Me, cute and little? Damned smooth talker. But pretty words wouldn’t allow him to escape my wrath. “Don’t you use flattery to cloud the issue. I was assigned this bounty by the Hellacious Office of Escapees.” More shortly known as HOE.

He crossed his arms over his impressive chest and my mouth went dry because all the moisture in my body headed straight for my pussy.

“Impossible. They put me on this case just today.”

Even overcome with lust, things suddenly became clear. “Medusa,” I snarled. “I’m gonna feed her snakes Ex-Lax for this.”

A rumbling chuckle made me break off from the swearing and various tortures I’d inflict on the slithery bitch. “What’s so damned funny?” I asked with a scowl.

“You.” His eyes glinted with mirth and his lips twitched in a smile which made me want to taste them all over again. “Say, do you want to get a coffee or something?”

Ha, first he stole my bounty, and then he thought I was going to let him ravish me. Hmm, on second thought, ravishment which included a lot of oral would probably go a long way towards appeasing me.

“I say let’s skip right to the something.” I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the street where we could flag a cab. I could have called a portal, but I really had this thing for making out in the backseat of cabs while the driver watched.

I didn’t drag my shirtless hunk for long as his greater stride brought him alongside me and his fingers weaved through mine, an intimate gesture I wouldn’t have believed of a big guy like him.

“I don’t suppose you’ll tell me your name before you have your way with me?” he asked, humor in his tone. “I’m Drake by the way.”

“So you already said. I’m Sally.” I replied absently looking up the street for a yellow taxi.

“Wait a second,” he said turning me to face him. “You wouldn’t be the Sally, would you?”

“Depends. Which Sally are you talking about?”

“The one I heard about. The one who’s put up a page on Hellbook looking for a superhero name and a sidekick.”

“Minion,” I corrected.

He laughed. I didn’t get the joke so I stood there tapping my foot glaring at him, my ardor shriveling with each guffaw. He kept howling though, so I finally had to ask. “What’s so fucking funny?”

“I expected someone bigger and badder,” he snorted, “not some cute little thing. And it’s not a sidekick you need, it’s a boyfriend to take care of you.”

“Well, when it comes to the position of minion or boyfriend, you need not apply. And as for not being bad enough, does this count?” I wear pointy toed shoes for a reason, and I showed Drake one of their many painful uses.

A cab pulled up as he hunched over gasping for air. I smiled at him sweetly. “Next time hands off my escapee. And in the future, wear a shirt, it’s indecent for you to gallivant around half-naked distracting those of us with serious jobs to do.”

I could have sworn I heard him laugh as I slammed the cab door shut. Not likely, only a madman would find humor in the pain I’d inflicted.

Turns out he was partly masochistic.

Review The Demons Bargain by Lisa Alder

Title:The Demon's Bargain
Author: Lisa Alder
Source: Requested review
Genre: Erotic paranormal romance- Demons
Length: Novella
Format:eBook
Authors website 

When the Demon bargains for one night of her pleasure...no one loses.

Vetis, the Demon of Corruption, is bored. It's too easy to tempt humans into committing horrible acts and the appeal has worn thin. He's restless and seeking distraction...until a gambler offers to settle a debt by submitting his wife for Vetis's use.

One tiny glimpse of the rage in Amara and the absolutely sexless way she endures his sensual touch, and Vetis has his challenge. He'll make this woman enjoy the carnal pleasures of sex.

The bargain is struck. One night. Of HER pleasure. And the debt will be paid.

Ill-used by her husband, Amara believes she is doomed, for she has no pleasure within her, her innocence forfeit long ago. But as Amara's body awakens with sinful desires and carnal longings, hope begins to blossom that pleasure is within her reach.

Demons never fail and the challenge is on. Vetis knows with the right sensual persuasion the debt will be paid in pleasure, however he doesn't bargain on falling in love.

Warning: this erotic romance novella contains m/f/m sex, light bondage, and smokin' hot demon sex

Rating-

Sexual-

The Demons Bargain is a very hot torrid erotic read. So, you get lots of hot sex along with a small, but good storyline. This demon Vetis stops at nothing to make this lady Amara know that she is to be cherished and not abused as she has been by her husband. I was very compelled to find out how he was going do it. I loved how the author wrote the sex between Vetis and Amara it was very caring and thoughtful. There’s mention of anal sex. The author made the world build clear and easy to read. I enjoyed the characters and I hope the author goes on to write a story for the hot demon Zepar.

Recommend to erotic paranormal romance or sci-fi romance readers that want a quick extremely hot read.

This book is so hot it receives the Scorcher award
