Blood Flows Deep in the Empire
by N. Isabelle Blanco
Giveaway ends May 01, 2013.
See the giveaway details
at Goodreads.
Dyletri, God of Fertility, has locked away his powers. No woman is allowed to touch him, not until he can return his long-dead lover back to life. All he has to do is sacrifice one human girl, a girl who unlocks his powers and rips his dormant lust right out of his body. Trapped by his promise, Dyletri has no choice but to watch Ismini die, no matter how much he wants her.
Yet the darkness of his calling is spiraling within him, demanding he claim the human as his. If he goes back on his promise, the energy of the Fates will cause untold destruction in the Universe. That doesn’t change how Dyletri’s begun exhibiting symptoms that point to more than just lust. How does he allow Ismini to die when she’s come to own him from the inside out?
Desire and torment spiral into something much darker than obsession, more turbulent than an addiction, and something much more brutal than a mere soul-mating. As a war is being rekindled right under his nose, Dyletri will have to come to terms with a destiny eleven thousand years in the making. He thought he’d known what path his future would take, but he’d been wrong. Now the one woman he truly loves might pay the price for his decision.
Blood Flows Deep in the Empire is the first in a series that will pit free-will against Destiny, Destiny against Fate, and love against brutal desire. Everyone likes to think they have a choice as to who they end up with, but as they rise to face the greatest threat they’ve ever known, even the Gods will learn they have to bend to Destiny’s whim to survive.

Destructively Alluring
by N. Isabelle Blanco
Giveaway ends April 14, 2013.
See the giveaway details
at Goodreads.
Dorian Sorenson agreed to take on his longtime family friend’s daughter, Demitra, as an intern. Hell, Stephen Davis had been his father’s friend for years up to his father’s death and he had continued to be close to Dorian. Why not do him the favor? Except, from the moment he sees the girl, now nineteen and definitely ‘growing up’ he’s faced with a huge problem. Huge. The girl might be eleven years his junior but just looking at her shy sexiness has him trapped in an agonizing need that won’t even let him seek relief elsewhere. His body wants her and no one else. And it’s going to have her, whether Dorian likes it or not.
After a torrid but brief kiss in his office, three months into Demitra’s internship, Dorian is left fighting feelings of extreme guilt. It’s very clear that they’re attracted to each other and that Demitra needs him as badly as he needs her but she’s still a young girl working for him. A young girl who happens to be his friend’s daughter. Dorian is determined to fight this need for her, whatever the cost. What he doesn’t count on is one night, one benefit, and Demitra looking unbelievably tempting on the arm of another man. The bets are off when possessiveness strikes hard within Dorian and only a higher power can help them both because now he plans to claim her. Thoroughly.

BFDE Blog Tour Day 14 – Review @ Passion For Pages
“First, let’s address the hotness of this cover. Can you say yum? Being a cover whore it was obviously the first thing that attracted me to the book. And once I was able to tear my eyes away from Ablicious, the summary caught my attention as well.
Now that I’ve read it I just have one question. Where has this author been hiding? TWCS has struck gold once again with the talent that has landed
Her characters are kick ass, take-no-shit Gods and Goddesses with so much heat packed into their million year old abs I’m surprised my e-reader didn’t catch on fire.”

BFDE Blog Tour Day 13 – Review @ The TBR Pile
Read the amazing review that left me so giddy, I can barely stay in my seat! Thank you so much to the TBR Pile.
Oh, and don’t forget to enter for the book giveaway
“The romance aspect of the story was wonderful and very sweet. That scene in the temple was scorching! Yes, there was action, a lot and very well written. Then we come to the ending, where I sat on the edge of my seat, eyes glued to my Nook. The ending of this book was intense and explosive. I couldn’t get enough! I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and really hope it’s Evesse’s story!”

The Next Big Thing Blog Hop
The Next Big Thing ~ Blog Hop March 14~ THE NEXT BIG THING – BLOG HOP
What’s a blog hop? It’s a great way readers can discover new authors! Here, I tell you all about my upcoming novella due to come out this July. You’ll also get links below to other authors I’d like you to check out. I’d like to thank fellow author H.E Hargrave for inviting me to participate.
You can find her HERE
In this particular hop I’ve answered 10 questions, giving you a few exclusives and sneak peeks … I hope you enjoy!
1. What’s the title of your book? Blood Flows Deep in the Empire
2. Where did the idea come from? It birthed itself. No joke. It just took off in the back of my head at 17, and didn’t go away even though I lived the next 7 years not planning on becoming a writer.
3. What genre does your book come under? It’s definitely a paranormal erotica.
4. Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition? Gah! I can’t say I’d pick any. The characters look pretty unique in my head, and I have yet to see a man that screams “Dyletri!” to me.
5. What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book? He condemned her to be sacrificed, before she was even born, but how does Dyletri allow Ismini to die when she’s come to own him from the inside out?
6. Is your book published by an independent publisher? Yes. BFDE is available through The Writer’s Coffeeshop and can be found HERE and at Amazon.
7. How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? Almost two months, roughly. It’s the quickest I’ve ever written anything, short or long, but like I said: there story was sitting in my head for 7 years just waiting to be told.
8. What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? Definitely has a little of everything. Maybe some IAD and LOTU, but the word out there is that it’s most resembling the BDB series, although I’m still trying to figure out how. Not that it isn’t wildly flattering to be compared to J.R. Ward. It is. And I still feel like the fans are being way too kind LOL
9. Who or what inspired you to write this book? Everything my nerdy-self is interested in, really. Mythology. Action. Erotica, of course. Spirituality and what not.
10. What else about your book might pique the reader’s interest? It’s definitely different. Mythology is in it, but I really wanted to bring a whole new cast of Gods into the mix. These are some of the Universe’s most ancient and primal Gods, the first we worshipped as primitive humans. There is barely any record of them left in history…actually, most of these Gods have been completely forgotten by humans, no trace of them left behind after all this time.

Review & Giveaway w- Swept Away By Romance
“Every once in a while I love to read a good paranormal romance. The best types for me are the ones that stretch the imagination and this book was spot on in that department. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from the first page to the very last. The characters were original and I loved the different elements that they were all they were gifted with. There was quite a bit of action too, which made the story exciting and very hard for me to put the book down!! “
