Beyond Reach by Jessica E. Subject

BLURB:

Abandoned by her parents…

Born on Earth, Nixie was left on the planet Schedar when her parents returned home. Growing up on the pleasure planet, she follows in the footsteps of the woman who raised her, and learns the art of erotic massage. But Nixie yearns for a different life, one where she receives as much pleasure as she gives.

A runaway prince…

In an attempt to escape his arranged marriage, Prince Mekai flees to Schedar. For, he could never love his betrothed when he already loves another, a fantasy woman who invades his dreams every night. When the woman he seeks carnal pleasure from turns out to be the same one in his fantasies, he believes fate brought them together.

Fated lovers or forever enemies?

Just when Nixie and Mekai believe they have a chance at happiness with each other, they find out why their races are at war, and why they can never be together.

Please note: Beyond Reach was previously published with another publisher. It has been revised into a darker story than the original, and expanded to give the hero and heroine a harder, but much more satisfying happily ever after.

EXCERPT:

Walking into the silky rear-end of an uidiss, she came to an abrupt halt. The creature had been walking at a steady pace and then stopped. She’d failed to notice in time. Wiping fluff off her face, she turned around and walked into another hard body. “I’m so sorry.”

Hands clamped down on her arms. “Are you all right?”

She stared up into deep brown eyes. Chewing her bottom lip, she nodded. If this man hadn’t been holding on to her, she would have fallen to the ground. The word swoon held no meaning for her until now.

Am I only like this because of the ipsum I inhaled back home? Or was there something more she found heart-racing about the blue-skinned, well-muscled hunk of an Ubetron who held her up?

No, she couldn’t feel anything for him. Their races had been sworn enemies for years. Everyone across the galaxy knew that. Yet here she was, standing face to face, gazing intently at him, with no will to move.

He smiled at her, drawing her attention from his eyes to his lips. How would they taste? She’d never kissed anyone intimately before.

“You look familiar. What’s your name?”

Name? Gods, what was her name? “Ni…Nixie.” Had she told him, or only thought the word?

He released her arms to brush his fingers along her jaw line. How she remained standing, she had no idea.

“Nixie. A beautiful name belonging to a beautiful woman. Have we met before?”

Moisture pooled between her thighs. Her cheeks warmed. “Thank you, but no.” She’d definitely remember meeting him.

As he trailed a hand down her arm, she sighed. Her entire body tingled from his gentle touch.

“Okay, weird. You must remind me of someone else. Now tell me, why were you in such a rush that you walked into the rear end of that slow-moving beast? We’re supposed to be on vacation, enjoying all this planet has to offer.”

Laughing at his description of the uidiss, she leaned against his arm. Never before had she enjoyed a man’s attention like this. “I’m not visiting. I live here. Have my whole life.”

He raised his eyebrows. “Really? So, what was it like growing up on the pleasure planet?”

Cy-Ops Sci-fi Romance Series by Cara Bristol

My guest today is author Cara Bristol, who has an awesome cyborg romance series that definitely hooked me with book one. Welcome, Cara.

__

Cy-Ops Sci-fi Romance Series by Cara Bristol


After reading several cyborg sci-fi romances, I fell in love with them and had to write my own cyborg romance series. To me, cyborgs are the ultimate alpha males: rough, tough, and smart. A cyborg is a human being who has some computer modifications. To emphasize they are human and not robot, I gave all the heroes “man” names: Brock Mann, Kai Andros, Sonny Masters, Dale Homme, and March Fellows.

The cyborgs of the Cy-Ops Sci-fi Romance series represent true heroism; they risk their lives to save others. They work for a covert military force called Cyber Operations whose mission is to defeat terrorism in the galaxy. During their missions, they meet their heroine and fall in love.

Each book in the Cy-Ops series can be read as a standalone. There are five novels so far with a sixth planned for January 2017. In addition to the novels, there are two Cy-Ops short stories: Married to the Cyborg, which everyone can get for free by subscribing to my newsletter, and Rescued by Cyborg, which will appear in Embrace the Romance: Pets in Space 2 to be released in October. Claimed by the Cyborg is the latest novel, and is the most romantic one of the series; it’s a story about second chances and young love. It’s been compared to Romeo and Juliet.

Claimed by the Cyborg description


He lost her once, he won’t let it happen again…


March Fellows assumed he had all the time in the galaxy to pursue a relationship with Jules, an alien exchange student from Xenia, until she vanished without a trace. After years of searching, he finds his lost love on the eve of her arranged marriage.

The daughter of the Xenian emperor, Julietta never meant to fall in love with a Terran man while visiting Earth. Leaving to fulfill her responsibilities on her home planet opened up a hole in her heart that could never be filled. When March, now a cyborg, unexpectedly shows up just before she is to be bonded, she struggles to find the courage to turn him away a second time and follow through with her duty. Before she can act, the lovers are thrust into a political conspiracy that threatens the Xenian empire and their lives.
