Hump Day and VS Tour: Double Trouble, Again!

First, I'm thrilled to be jumping back into the Hump Day Hook party! HDH is a group of romance and/or erotica authors who share an excerpt of their work on hump day and hop around to read and comment. Without further ado, here is my hook, from my fantasy novella, Valkyrie Slumbering:


Unable to take it any longer, I finally ask, “Out with it. What’s eating at you?”
His eyes flit across my body. Pink spreads across his cheeks, and I can’t help but recall his hands around me, his hard body beneath mine. Perhaps I should have chosen different words. 


To see the full list of participants for the Hump Day Hook hop, click here. If that doesn't wet your appetite enough, today romance author Danita Minnis and Kayelle Allen are both having me over! I hope you'll stop by to learn more about Valkyrie Slumbering and to say hi. Too much fun not to, trust me, you'll love these ladies!

“Would you help me with mine?” I breathe against his ear.
      He turns to face me, and my eyes are drawn to his broad, hard chest. Before he can see the way he affects me, I turn my back to him so he can reach the laces of my leather armor. It isn’t quite as concealing as his, but it covers the vitals. He works at the back laces, tugging them slowly. Cool evening air blows between the leather and my skin, raising bumps all along my back. His fingers follow the breeze up my tunic, leaving lines of heat on my bare skin. I pull the leather bustier off, followed by the tunic, my breasts relaxing in its absence. 
      I want his hands on more than just my back. Leaning into him, I nearly gasp at the feel of his hard, naked chest pressed against me. His hands snake under my tunic, across my belly, and up, so slowly up. At last those wonderfully rough hands cup beneath my breasts. His fingers work their way up around the swell. Gods, he moves so slow it makes me burn. I sit back into his lap, feeling his cock hard and eager against my butt. The feeling makes me moan.

An Interview with author Rosanna Leo


Today I'm excited to be featuring and interviewing author Rosanna Leo. Rosanna is an author of erotic fantasy romance (a girl after my own heart!)

Hi Rosanna! Welcome to my slice of heaven. So tell me, what do you enjoy most about writing?
RL: I love the research aspect, having been a student of history and literature. I love delving into a new world, whether fictional of my own making, or based on truth. And being able to bring a new set of characters to life is so rewarding, especially when you get favorable reactions from readers.

I couldn't agree more. Meeting new characters is one of the best parts of reading and writing. Are you working on another book right now?
RL: Always! My new shifter series comes out May 20 with the first book of the series, Predator’s Kiss, and I’m working on my second selkie book as well.

Oooo, a shifter series, I love it! If you could give the younger version of yourself advice what would it be?
RL: Don’t take it so hard.  

Great advice. What is your work ethic when it comes to writing?
RL: When it’s a writing day, it’s a writing day. I work outside the home as well, and can’t write all the time. So when it’s a writing day, I remain focused.

Great work ethic! How do you cope with stress as an author?
RL: Take a break. Sometimes you need to remove yourself from that manuscript and breathe.  

Yes, we do forget to breathe at times, don't we? ;) What good book have you read recently?
RL: “Rowena through the Wall” by Melodie Campbell. Sexy and fun!

I'll have to add that one to my to read list. Thanks for dropping by Rosanna! Here is a bit about Rosanna's latest release, Sunburn

Patience O’Conner is a travel blogger who lives for her work. Her dedication to her readers brings her to the famed Helios Resort in Mexico, a locale that stuns her with its beauty but at which she suffers from some very strange accidents.

Luckily, hunky resort bartender Apollo Delos is always there in the nick of time, a malcontent guardian angel. Apollo stuns Patience again and again with his life-saving abilities, to say nothing of his smoldering looks and apparent desire to keep her alive.

Before long, Patience wonders if there is more to the sexy bartender than mixed cocktails and insane first-aid skills. Something strange is happening at Helios and Apollo doesn’t want to talk about it.
Can Patience open herself up to this enigmatic man, even though she is terrified to be vulnerable again? And can Apollo recover from an eternity of hurt and learn to trust once more? They must both decide before Death comes calling.

And here is an excerpt to get you warmed up:


She approached the booth, only to find the blond bartender manning it. Her eyes almost popped and she blurted, “You!”

     He grinned, but there was still a tightness around his eyes, as if he were sizing her up. “Hello, Patience.” His strained expression said volumes about what he considered to be the unsuitability of her name.
     She tried to ignore the sucker punch in her gut, the one that hit her as soon as his deep, velvety voice caressed her eardrums. “Aren’t you supposed to be at the bar?”
     His smile grew wider, showing off his perfect white teeth. “I’m everywhere.”
     “Clearly.” She forced herself to look away from his gorgeous face, feeling light-headed because of the suns dancing in her eyes, the suns that seemed to come from him. To distract herself, she touched a few of the painted bowls on display. Not that it snuffed out those blasted suns.
     He stepped closer. “Do you see anything you like?”
     She choked on her saliva and coughed like a victim of the Black Death. He rushed to calm her, putting his hand on her back, massaging. She recovered upon feeling his touch and was hit by the bizarre, fleeting notion his touch made her recover. As if he’d healed her.
     Utter nonsense. Yet as much as it was nonsense, her head swam with the bizarre possibility.
     “Better?” he asked quietly, his face serious now.
     She stared into the man’s eyes. They were blue, so very blue. “Uh, yeah, thanks.” Curiosity got the better of her and the question poured out. “What’s your name anyway?”
     He breathed in. “Apollo Delos.”
     “Oh, wow,” she said, breaking into a grin. “Just like Apolo Anton Ohno! I loved him on Dancing with the Stars!”
     He got a curious look and let out a strange laugh. “Yeah. Just like him.”




BIO:

Rosanna Leo is a multi-published, erotic romance author with Liquid Silver Books. Her books include For the Love of a God, Up In Flames, Sweet Hell, The Selkie and her newest, Sunburn. When not writing, she can be found haunting dusty library stacks or planning her next star-crossed love affair.

Review: Out of the Box by Kallysten

Today's review is of, Out of the Box Part 1 by Kallysten (yep, all one word). This is an incredibly steamy paranormal short that is part of an erotic serial (10 stories, or it can be purchased as a complete novel) with a clever plot. The mystery of what they pull out of the box next will keep you coming back for more.

This first installment in the serial is all about  Virginia's first experience with a vampire, in more ways than one. He opens her up to new experiences that involve a box of sex toys which include everything from the tame to the wild. I cannot vouch for what is beyond part 1, as that is all this review is based on.

I'd recommend this for readers who enjoy hot sex that goes beyond the tame and who enjoy erotic vampire stories. It jumps right into the action so keep that in mind when deciding if this is for you or not. At the time of this review the first installment in the serial was free on both Amazon and B&N. Explicit sex, m/f.

Hump Day Hook & Tour Stops

First, it's hump day and you know what that means, time for Hump Day Hook, one of the hottest blog hops out there! My excerpt is from my latest release, Valkyrie Slumbering:


Once the buckles are all loose, I remove the two separate pieces of armor. He pulls his gray tunic over his head and lays it on the grass. His back is fit and trim the way a warrior’s is; all hard muscles and deep planes. My fingers trail down the line of his spine, following the lateral muscles that disappear into his breeches. More shivers run through him, and he mutters something in the language of Alfhiem.
“Would you help me with mine?” I breathe against his ear.


Want to read more? It's now available! And for those who don't know, I'm on tour to celebrate. Today for the tour I'm over at author Tracy Riva's place and the fabulous reviewer, Offbeat Vegabond's blog! I hope you'll stop by to learn more about Valkyrie Slumbering and to say hi.

Review: OtherKin Fury by Anya Bast

Today's review is of Otherkin Fury, which I downloaded from B&N when it was free. Here is my review:

This started off strong with a chase scene that had my blood pumping, in more ways than one by the time it was over. I loved that the author threw a cougar into the mix with wolves. That change and the dynamics it caused in the story kept me interested. The sex scenes were hot and plentiful, just the way I like them in my erotic reads.

A few issues kept it at only 3.5 flames for me. There were a lot of grammar mistakes, missing words for the most part. That aside, I would have liked to see the story reveal a little more about the town of Fury. I also would have liked a little more development of the two main characters, perhaps with a bit more story before the action starts. as it was a while before I became drawn into them.


Test results (would I read more by this author): It passes. I've already downloaded the next novel that Ms. Bast offers for free and if it's even better, then I will definitely purchase another book by her.

Review: A Chance Encounter

I picked up A Chance Encounter by A.J. Lyle when I found it free on Barnes and Noble.

3.5 flames



The smoking cover alone convinced me to download it. It started out with an interesting plot that I was disappointed didn't continue. Though, since it's only a short story, I can understand why. The author can write a steamy sex scene for sure! And this play on many a man's fantasy is sure to please many. The characters were interesting and held a lot of promise. I'd love to see a full length novella or novel of this with a deeper plot and more about these characters. If you're looking for a quickie, then I recommend this one.

Goodreads / Amazon / B&N

This short story (27 pages on my Nook) was free at the time of download. 1 M/F sex scene.
