New OTHERWORLD ATTENDANTS story

An Open Heart is probably the best Otherworld Attendants story I have written to date. Why? For starters, I've been working on An Open Heart for over a year. I know it's release so close to IRISH LUCK and the other GSO stories may make some of you think I've been kicking out stories one after the other, and that somehow the quality of those stories are lessened.

Let me assure you--this is not true. For about eight months last year, 2011, I did not publish a single new title. That did not mean I was not writing. I was, just not to the point where I could finish anything.

So, my monthly releases of new titles isn't me pushing out low quality stories. These are stories I've been working on for months, in the case of An Open Heart, at least a year and a half. Don't let the cover fool you. An Open Heart is H-O-T and the world building about The HIVE, attendants, and their universe is ever-expanding in my imagination. This story reveals a little bit more about otherworld attendants.

I encourage you to take a look at An Open Heart. If you feel it isn't your cup of tea, I challenge you to step outside your comfort zone. If you like paranormal erotic romance, I invite you to try this one.

Best,

Rae

Cover Art for AN OPEN HEART: AN O.A. SERIES

What are your thoughts? I think it sizzles and smokes. Go Jet and Felicia. I absolutely ADORE this story, and this series in particular, the Otherworld Attendants series.

LOVE ALL THINGS OTHERWORLDLY....

Then get ready! The third story in my OTHER WORLD ATTENDANTS series wil be available on April 13 from Changeling Press. Here's the blurb. :)

Otherworld Attendants: An Open HeartJet, an Otherworld Attendant, pledged his life to fulfill his contract to serve Orion, a vampire. A botched ritual turned Jet into a Shade, a soul that resides neither in this world nor the next. Then he meets Felicia, whose open heart welcomes him in without question and gives him unconditional love. He thought to hide his past -- and its dangers -- from her, to keep her safe. Until their lives take an unexpected and nasty twist.





Four years ago, Felicia met the man of her dreams. When she awakens one day to find Jet gone, her world crashes down. The ache is still fresh when Jet returns to defend her against his enemy who threatens not only her life, but Jet's too. Battling her heartache, her fear and for her life, Felicia must decide if she can open her heart to Jet again. It is the only thing that will give him the strength to save them.

End Blurb

This story will take readers further into the HIVE, the attendants, and what it means to really give it to the job!

New Cover for Native Heart Series Title: LASSO A LOVER

Yes! So excited. My Native Hearts series' title, LASSO A LOVER, got a makeover from Beautiful Trouble Publishing. Look at Lee Stone, all dolled up and ready to lasso thhe heart of one, Navajo--Tank Begaye. :)
In case you missed it, this contemporary series is called NATIVE HEARTS and you guessed it, most of the stories will center around bw/native american male interracial romances. Most, but not all...you know how most of my stories can veer off the path, right? :)
If you liked LASSO A LOVER, the next story in the NATIVE HEARTS series is HEART-SHAPED HOGAN. You can grab this story at BTP for a fairly inexpensive price. No, you don't need to have read one without the other; however, if you read  HEART-SHAPED HOGAN before you read LASSO A LOVER, you may spoiled on the plot.
Anyway, thought I'd share my really awesome cover with you. Speaking of awesome covers, here is another one:
HEART-SHAPED HOGAN
Blurb: Lee Stone didn't want a heart-shaped box of boring chocolates for Valentine's Day. She didn't want a trip to Vegas. She'd been there and done that. What she longed for was one Valentine's Day that didn't invite tragedy and chaos. The last three years with her boyfriend, Tank Begaye, had been host to a blizzard, a fire, and a heart attack. For once, she wanted to spend the day nestled in her lover's arms.

Tank Begaye had weathered the long-distance relationship with Lee for far too long. Now, he meant to make her a permanent fixture in his life—as his wife. Avoiding the cliché Valentine Day's proposals at restaurants and public landmarks, Tank knew exactly where to go—his family's Hogan, deep in the heart of the Navajo Reservation. Surrounded by his ancestors' spirits, he would ask Lee to join their family's circle.

New RaeLynn Blue Blogspot--For those who love a good SERIES

It occurred to me that since the GSO Stories have become so popular, that many readers may not know I have written other series, too. So, I sat down tonight and completed a page dedicated to the various series I have written. I encourage you to go check it out at http://raelynnblueseries.blogspot.com .

It's  relaxed page and provides some clarification in regards to what title is connected to which series, etc. and so on.

I love feedback, so let me know what you think of it.

Grab some LUCK this Weekend! IRISH LUCK is here!!

Series: GSO

Genre:Erotic Interracial Contemporary Romance (bw/wm)

Purchase: https://www.beautifultroublepublishin...

Blurb: Kenyatta Kramer approached the annual CAKE St. Patrick's Day bash with trepidation and fear. Her workplace crush, Doran Richards—a sexy, hunky and handsome Irish lad—would be there also. In the last six months, CAKE had become a hot bed for office hookups. Kenyatta didn't want to become another office fling, despite how much heat Doran's dark blue eyes conveyed. Their chemistry could set off fire alarms in three states, but she didn't want to be the topic of rumor and office fodder.



Doran Richards had been waiting for months for St. Patrick's Day. Being the son of Irish immigrants, hard work and dedication had been instilled in him. Tonight's goal—Kenyatta. He knew her reservations, but he also knew how right they were together. All he needed was a little Irish luck.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



**EXCERPT**

Doran sipped his beer, winced at its bitterness, and tried to look relaxed. With the raucous partying going on around him, he could barely hear himself think. Not that he needed to actually hear himself think. His eyes worked fine despite the din. Across the room stood his entire world—Kenyatta Kramer. Seductively dressed in a hunter-green outfit that hugged every curve as tightly as he longed to. Kenyatta's body trembled with laughter. The familiar sound rang out clear and musical, even though he couldn't hear it from his current position. Standing beside the punch bowl with Cree Caruthers and another woman he did not know, Kenyatta listened intently, her head tilted to the side. The tips of her bobbed, ebony hair were dyed green for St. Patrick's Day.



He doubted that she saw him through the throng of CAKE employees and Silver's business associates. But in case she did, he had put on his best outfit—dark blue jeans, crisp white button-down shirt, and black, Italian leather shoes. Around his neck hung his golden four-leaf clover charm. His mother had given it to him, and he wore it all the time. He smiled at the memory of her handing it to him on his 18th birthday. This would give him luck—Irish luck, she'd said. That had been nearly twelve years ago before he'd buried her and his father. The charm had brought him luck—and tonight he planned to use it once more.



…



Oh, darn it. He's coming this way.

Kenyatta bit her lip and tucked her hair behind her ear. Doran's dark blue eyes locked with hers and she couldn't look away. Infectiously, she smiled in response to the one lighting up his face. He set her lust on fire. A couple of other single women spoke to him as he made his way toward her. To his credit, despite how many women threw themselves at him, he hadn't taken any of them up on their offers—or at least from what she could tell.



He set down his full mug of beer, moving through the crowd like a panther on the prowl. Seeing something primal in his walk, Kenyatta grew wetter. Inside her, every nerve ending responded to the way his muscles shifted beneath his clothing, the way his eyes seemed to send electronic signals directly to her love button, and how right now the only thing she wanted was his mouth on hers, her body pressed so close to his she could feel his heart beat.



"Hello Kenyatta," Doran's deeply rich voice bowled over the party's din when he reached her. It lodged itself right in her heart.



"Hi, Doran."

She loved the sound of his voice. Like rich coffee, it had a full-bodied flavor that melted her into droplets of pure want. He was born in America, but she knew his parents had been Irish. The way he pronounced certain words spoke to his heritage and his Boston upbringing.

Theft of Souls is now available from MMP

Yes! It's finally here. Theft of Souls was once a part of an anthology of short stories published by Torrid. The anthology is out of print, but Mocha Memoirs Press, LLC has agreed to publish my short story as a solo release. I love this story. Black elves and magic, a sorceress and erotic romance--really, does it get any better?Blurb: Enslaved by the elven leader, King Diniji, Tara longs for her freedom and an end to the needless stealing of human souls. She has an infatuation with Trace, the soul snatcher, and would love to satisfy her longing for the handsome elf and restore a genuine smile to his face. Better yet, maybe he will be the key to free her and restore the elf community to the way it was meant to be.

Fellow Badazz Author, Janet Eckford, releases a kickbutt story...

Fellow BTP and Mocha Memoirs Press author, Janet Eckford, has just given me one of the best rides of my life. I'm a science fiction lover in addition to romance, so when I saw this title, I HAD to have it. I'm a big supporter of women who hold their own, and this is one story I absolutely loved.
Check it out.
Blurb: Mila has come to terms with being the other in a world she once belonged to. The Agency had tried to make her a tool in their arsenal of control over the people they'd promised to protect, and she fled. Then Ravi, a man she'd committed to the secret parts of her memory, hope and happiness, tracks her down to take her back to that place she promised she'd never revisit again. Now Mila has choices to make.

Ravi has been given the task of capturing Mila and returning her to the Agency to stand trial for the crimes she has committed. The best of the best, he doesn't let emotion or feelings cloud his judgment. He has purpose, and that purpose guides him. Yet when he finds Mila, those feelings he'd thought he'd crushed find fertile ground in his doubts about her guilt. Seeing her awakens the desire of a future together he'd once carried, and now he has choices to make, because taking her back doesn't seem like the best option—if it's possible at all.
