Action Packed Romance

The Vigilante's Lover #2: A Romantic Suspense Thriller (The Vigilantes)

I love this series. Lately I've been watching a lot of movies, and most are either way too boring or unnecessarily gross and disgusting for shock value vs plot. This action packed romance isn't any of those things. It's sexy, exciting and funny too:

"She got hit by a poison dart,” I mention, rubbing the back of my neck. 
“And all her clothes flew off?” Colette shoots back. 

Part II starts out with a really steamy scene - then I was totally pissed because Mia has to go back home & Jax goes on with his adventure. But towards the end they get back together and have an even hotter liaison that's worth the wait.

This book ends with an explosive cliff hanger that had me instantly back to Amazon to buy Part III! I'm really enjoying this exciting ride & can't wait to see what happens next...

Rich CEO Romance/Office Romance

Saving the CEO (49th Floor Novels Book 1)

"Real estate mogul Jack Winter has rules. Lots of rules. After all, a man doesn’t build an empire without a little discipline. And on page one of the rulebook? Don’t sleep with your employees. Especially when there’s a multimillion dollar real estate deal at stake..."

 I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this rich guy romance, but man I really enjoyed it! It takes place in Canada, switching from the towering city skyscrapers to the beautiful lakes of Muskoka towards the end.  The buildup was great, and the intimate scenes were hot. I loved how Cassie wasn't afraid to ask for what she wanted, and how when Jack didn't handle something appropriately he owned up to it later. The ending was sweet and very romantic.

The Vigilante's Lover: A Romantic Suspense Thriller

I recently watched Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and I realized I needed more action in my romance. Normally I don’t prefer first person present tense, and this flip-flops for both characters in every chapter - but I was hooked right away! Maybe because it just accelerates the action.

It starts with a prison break, and reminds me of that show Breakout Kings which I wish they didn’t cancel. Immediately I was thrown into a world of gadgets and mood sensors and all sorts of crazy things. None of them are really explained, but if you watch enough TV like I do they don’t need to be.

Then we get to Mia. Her story starts a little slower, but it’s clear her life is about to change forever & boy does it. They chemistry between the two is incredible. Jax is 100% sure she’s bad news, and she’s freaked out…sort of…and yet strangely turned on and excited at the same time. Her whole character journey is awesome. I love how she looks to her mother for strength.

The whole premise is a little far fetched: bondage love letters = secretly coded messages. But the story is just so good it brings you right in. There aren’t a whole lot of hookup scenes; just teases & building of sexual desire which is hot and well done.

I really enjoyed this first book of the series & plan on reading the rest!

Discount Dark Erotica - Review

Forbidden: A Standalone by CD Reiss
Currently $2.99 for all three books!

Fiona
“Sex was my superpower, and I knew when a man wanted me.”
Sex. Drugs. Addiction. Pain. All of these vices hold Fiona tight so she doesn't have to think or feel. A euphoric blanket covering up all the truths she’s smart enough to admit to herself. One she’ll soon be forced to toss forever. This book sinks you deep down into her soul, wrapping us vividly around her life and how she lives it. She's rich. Impulsive. And no matter how frayed and unraveled she feels, she finds freedom in Deacon, a Master who knots her up.

Elliot
“I feel closer to God when I’m with you, and that has meaning to me.”
Nothing gets me hotter than reading about a stricken man. Use was my favorite section, unlocking the angst in Elliot’s life, and how meeting Fiona changed it forever. The character development is exceptional, and I loved reading about all the forbidden lust building up inside him. But I also loved his loyalty and restraint to both his girlfriend and God. And how there was always passion and emotion in every one of his decisions.

“We break down and rebuild ourselves every seven to ten years.”
Every sentence in this book is beautiful, bringing mood and color and atmosphere to life. Or death, depending on the scene. It’s poetic and brutally honest, with too many thought provoking quotes to list. The characters don’t always make the right decisions, and things don’t always work out sunny and bright. But in the end, revenge was totally owned. And love was finally found. As an aspiring author, reading this series solidified the type of writer I want to become, and the types of stories I’d like to tell. And as a woman reaching the second half of my life, it made me think about what I want to do with the rest of it.

A Sexy Romance with a Spider on the Cover?

Coming up with a cover design once I finished writing my very first fantasy romance novel ended up being a major challenge.  As this romantic series progresses, things will definitely heat up like the foreshadowing excerpt here:

MAGIC AWAKENED
Derek closed his eyes, trying to tap into some of the willpower he used to conquer his old addictions, but this afternoon he just wasn’t strong enough. One right after another the images buzzed through his mind like a swarm of starving locusts, eating away at his latent doubts and fears. Deep, repressed desires steaming up from the frozen sea beyond his soul. Whips. Boots. Nails. Shackled by her chains; arms pinned above his head. Beads of sweat dripping down his chest as her dark blue eyes burned into his thick pale skin. Faith sliding her black painted nails over muscles he didn’t have the first time she tied him up. And his little devil's sinister smile, tugging at the growing length between his legs.

Darkness lighter men would fear
A part of me was tempted.

Half naked, sexy and/or gothic images with a hint of BDSM would fit this love story's theme just fine.  But then again in the beginning, my two main characters are miles away from each other.  Each of them have their own lives.  Points of view will change along with the scenery.

Instead, I wanted to shoot for something either like a grimoire book of magic type of look (like in the TV series Charmedetc.) because my two leading characters are pagan, or maybe something edgy with a Miami, Bret Easton Ellis or Jason Myerstype of feel.  I went for the second first, and ended up with this silvery chrome cover design.

The concept is essentially broken glass. Derek, an ex-salesman has had enough!  He's pounded the coffee table full of paraphernalia with his fist; done with that life forever. I really love this cover, but it doesn't look great as a tiny thumbnail, and I wasn't sure if I could carry that look over in Books No. 2 and up.  It also doesn't say what No. 1 is really about - which is Derek's new life in Tennessee.  
  
So I went back to the grimoire, Neverending Story type concept.  At first I thought about yin yang symbols, Celtic love knots, pagan designs...things like that.  Then I found the spider image at Dreamstime and everything started coming together.

Derek has always had an obsession with spiders and their webs since he was young, watching them from his estate in Quebec and then later down by his Uncle's docks in Baltimore.  

After a bit of design work, I came up with this second cover concept.  Without going into too many spoilers, the deepest depths of Derek's soul is frozen. The blue/gray is meant to symbolize ice, with the occasional white crack running through it.  I really liked this cover too; but it just wasn't dark and sexy enough. 

After another go, I finally came up with the red and black background, changing all of the text to white.  The red symbolizes lots of things...passion.  Derek's visit from an otherworld omen.  And the bug-like diamond eyes watching him from the barren Tennessee forests surrounding him.     

Here's how it came out - three times a charm:
