Rio: SEDUCED & ENCHANTED

Rio is the baby of the de Feo brothers. He's much more easy going than his older brothers. He's had to be considering he had to put up with them.

Here was another case of not having a specific guy in mind when I wrote Rio. The model on the cover is very nice but again, he's a little too bulked up for Rio.

The picture on the left is much closer to what I imagined. Hot but not hulking.

I think this one deserves to be pinned up on the Wall of Hotness, don't you?

Cam: SEDUCED & ENCHANTED

When I opened the email containing the cover for SEDUCED & ENSNARED, I did a little happy dance.

There was Cam, pointed ears and all. And, oh my God, the man was HOT. I'd never had that happen before. The model on the cover was a perfect match for the ruggedly handsome Cam de Feo, oldest brother and general hard ass.

Cam is out to seduce Stella and use her as leverage against her evil uncle but Cam ends up falling for his mark instead. When I was writing, I had an image of Vin Diesel in my head. That's the kind of guy I had in mind for Cam. Big, hulking, a little scary.

Antonin: SEDUCED IN SHADOW

I had a very specific image of Antonin in my head from the moment I started to write him. Sometimes it happens that way. Sometimes, it's a picture that catches my eye but sometimes the character truly is a total figment of my imagination.

The model on the cover of SEDUCED IN SHADOW is a little beefier than the image of Antonin in my head. Gorgeous, sure. But not quite the guy I had pictured.

The guy on the left definitely has Antonin's eyes. And the face. And, man, that body. Let's just say, if I had to choose someone to look like Antonin, I'd choose him.

Justin: SEDUCED BY MAGIC

Justin from SEDUCED BY MAGIC always has a smile on his face. He's quick to laugh and there's not much that doesn't roll off his back.

So when he wakes to find himself sharing a bed with a woman with wings, his first thought is, "Holy shit, I'm right. Fairies are real."

Only, this woman isn't a fairy, she's a folletta and woe to the man who likens her to one of those pasty English types.

Luckily for Justin, Scarlata takes a liking to him. Lucky Scarlata that he decides he wants to stay by her side. Forever.

When I started writing SEDUCED BY MAGIC, I had a picture of Josh Lucas in mind the entire time. It's that smile and those blue eyes, the way those eyes light up when he smiles. Who wouldn't give this man anything he wants when he smiles are you?

SEDUCED BY MAGIC is the first in the Magical Seduction series. The price has been reduced at most vendors to $2.99 or below.
