Enjoy the following excerpt from Goddess of the Hunt:
“Is it done? Do you and the others in the house bring in sex partners from time to time?” She straightened and stared at him.“Yes.” He hissed the answer.“I’m travelling; you and I meet at a pub and go to your place to hook up. It’s simple and happens all the time. Believable, even.” She thought of Michel and her lips tilted at the corners. Then, casting her eyes over Eoin, she deliberately arched a brow and tucked her tongue in her cheek. “Well, for most people, anyway.”His lips thinned and the muscles in his cheek ticked as he worked to control the flare of temper. It delighted her. “Fine, we’ll do it your way.” Eoin pushed himself from the chair he’d been perched on and nearly charged for the door. “I’ll be here at seven-thirty tomorrow morning, be ready.”Paige grabbed his arm as he passed her. “What are you so worked up about? If it goes wrong, you can just leave me hanging and you know it. This costs you nothing, Paddy-boy; it’s my ass on the line.”He grabbed her shirt and pushed her against the closet door. She didn’t fight it and he had his mouth on her in seconds. His tongue delved and demanded she respond; she arched up into the kiss. Delight, desire, and anger thrummed through her as she both succumbed and made demands of her own. His hands molded to her hips and pinned her between the hard planes of his body and the wall behind her. Then he abruptly pulled away. They stood inches apart; the air crackled around them. Their gazes locked. He opened his mouth, then shook his head and left without a word.       Tie score.

Spotlight Truth or Dare by AJ Bennett

Luna Alexander has always been a 'free spirit' and lived by her own rules, consequences be damned. With the approach of an anniversary she'd rather forget, Luna starts to wonder if there's more to life than partying and hooking up with hot guys. A chance meeting with a dark knight knocks her off kilter and has her emotions spinning out of control. Will she finally overcome her past for a chance at happiness, or will she hide behind the walls she's built around her? AMAZON / AMAZON CA / AMAZON UK / BARNES & NOBLE / KOBO / SMASHWORDS Her body ached with an irrational need to have him close to her. She noticed several faint silver scars across his back. How had he gotten those? The memory of his reaction to the scar on his stomach stopped her from asking.Hunter wasn’t prepared to share anything with her other than his body. Understandable, she wasn’t exactly the type to bare her soul either. She was startled by the realization that she would like to know what secrets he kept hidden underneath his hard exterior. Usually, she could care less about the men she got involved with. But she was intrigued to know what made him tick. What experiences in his past made him who he was today?On that note, Luna kicked the sheets off her and swung her feet over the bed. “I guess it’s time for me to get home.”“Stay the night with me,” he said gruffly without turning.Thankfully she still had a sane corner in her mind. She shook her head. “I can’t I have to work in the morning.” “Call in sick.”Luna laughed. Why did he have to be so freakin’ gorgeous. It was hard to say no, but she had to remain strong. “I don’t have that luxury.”He nodded and moved towards her. Reaching down he drew her up, towering over her. “Alright, but I want to see you tomorrow.”They stared at each other for so long she was beginning to feel uncomfortable. The air between them seemed to thicken making it hard to breath. She knew things were moving too fast, but couldn’t seem to find the words to protest. His fingers closed around the back of her neck and his thumb stroked her collar bone. The tips of her naked breast grazed his firm chest.“You’re making it hard to leave.”“Tell me you’ll see me tomorrow.” He cupped her face and gave her a brief, but thorough kiss.She swallowed visible and nodded dropping her head onto his chest moving into the embrace. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” Maybe she was reading too much into it. Imagining, he sounded almost desperate to see her again.Why couldn’t she shut off that cynical voice in her head and just enjoy the moment? FACEBOOK / TWITTER / WEBSITE / GOODREADSA.J.

My Review:
A quick, hot, fun and very entertaining read that any fans of the genre will enjoy spending time with ;)

Luna has shut herself off from any REAL intimate relationships some time ago. Food, sex and fun is what she is. Nothing solid except for the family relationships she has with her mother, sister and brother and her friendship with Marcus (yes friendship). Everything else just...is. That's until fate intervenes and drops the hottie alpha male, Hunter in her life. From that moment on she loses all control, a spiral of confusion and doubt. He drives her insane, with lust...

This was my first time reading anything from this author and DEFINITELY not my last. I really enjoyed her writing style and all around everything in the story. Bravo!

Wolf Hunger Cover Reveal

[image error]Wolf Hunger (Book 3 of the Dragon Heat series)By Ella J PhoenixPublication Date: March 13, 2014. Back cover blurbWhen the last box of deadly bullets is stolen, the hunt is on and the Vampire King’s band of fighters is set for the challenge of recovering it. But Yara, the shifter-witch, has other problems to face.  She must help her leader to overcome the strange illness that has befallen her before it’s too late. For that, she must go back to the only place she swore never to return – her home land.
Rafe is a typical lone wolf who spends his nights earning his bucks in the fighting ring. When he was offered a pardon for his debts in exchange for the Vampire King’s head, he didn’t even blink, thinking it would be a hard mission but not impossible. He just wasn’t expecting the saucy shifter-witch to cross his path and ruin his plans. Now, he can’t get her out of his mind and the clock is ticking for him to make good on his word.
This is the third novel of the Dragon Heat series – a paranormal lover’s delight with vampires, shifters, dragons and a lot of magic.

***Warning: this novel contains hot, steamy, descriptive sexual scenes. Enjoy.*** 



MEET ELLA!

I discovered I was addicted to the paranormal when I was quite young - I blame it on the super heroes. Damn you, Wonder Woman! That passion led me to a number of amateur theater productions in my home town, then ultimately to a bachelor’s degree in Performing Arts.
It wasn't very cool to spend five years working my ass off for no money. But, I have to say, it was then that I made my first attempts into the literary world. The first ones were writing children’s plays for my family’s language school. After a couple of blunders, I decided to translate Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into a dancing and kicking play. It was so much fun that after that, let’s just say that I caught the bug.

Excerpt

        “God, you smell good,” he purred, the rough stubble of his jaw grazing her inner thigh. He leaned on his elbows, the edge of his lips tilting in a wicked grin as his gaze found her heat. “I’ve been trying to get you alone all day.”
        Alana sighed, wishing arousal would take hold. “I’m sorry, but I told you, I’ve got too much on my mind to enjoy this right now.”
        He climbed higher, the warmth of his chest settling between her bare legs, the heat of his breath tickling her skin. “Sounds like a challenge.” He lowered his face, his lips hovering a whisper away from her sex. Tempting. Teasing. “You’ve done so much work for this wedding. Let me do a little something for you.” He pressed his mouth to her pussy, separating her folds with a gentle stroke of his tongue before retreating. “What do you think, Allie? Can I play for a little while? Maybe take the edge off.”Buy LinksAmazonBarnes & NobleAll Romance Ebooks"Reckless Weekend"My Review:
I've read this series from its start and have enjoyed each and every book and aspect altogether. Reckless Weekend is no different. I laughed, fell in love with the characters (all over again) and had a great reading experience with a huge side of fun. A great read for all series followers and any fans of the genre. Even though each CAN be read as a stand-alone. I strongly suggest reading the first two books of the series so you can get the full impact and get to know the characters, intimately, just as I have :)
There's a lot going on in this addition to the series and I don't want to give anything away and ruin it for the rest of you.What I can say is we get much more in touch with Blake & Gabi as well as Mitch & Alana. We also get to experience a lot more of this amazing family/group's playful side which I fully enjoyed experiencing.

Be ready for some awesome fun, surprises and a very strong desire for the next book of the series!

Born to a prestigious political family, Avery Adams plays as hard as he works.

When some of the most prominent men in politics suggest he run for senate, Avery decides the time has come to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. With a strategy in place and the campaign wheels rolling, Avery is ready to jump on the legislative fast track, full steam ahead.

Between owning a thriving upscale Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and managing his long-term boyfriend, his plate is full. He struggles to get past the teachings of his childhood to fully accept his sexuality and rid himself of the doubts brought on by his religious upbringing.

The Fawn by Susan Griscom Blog Tour & Review

New Adult Contemporary Romance/SuspenseSexual content and mature subject matter, including domestic violence and abuse.This will be a two book series, but both books in The Beaumont Brothers can be read as a standalone.After a not-so-wonderful young adulthood—shuffled from one foster home to another—Lena Benton had hoped marriage would be her ticket to happiness. Wedded a year after high school graduation, Lena was certain she’d found her knight. But when Troy Harington’s true colors surface shortly after their glorious day of elopement, things aren’t quite as rosy as Lena had envisioned. When an unforeseen event turns ugly, all she can do is ... run!But does she run far enough?Jackson Beaumont prides himself on being a nature-loving, guitar-strumming carefree sort of guy, known for his eagerness to help injured animals find their way back into the wild. When Lena Benton walks into his bar, he’s once again swept off his feet with concern and desire to help the wounded. Will he risk having his heart torn apart again when the memory of the fawn he rescued as a child resurfaces?

It’s over. Was he dead? I hoped he was dead. I had to have killed him. My emotions—convoluted with anger and fear—dominated my judgment, giving me courage to go on. I’d never considered myself weak, to allow a man to have such complete and utter control over me—to beat me whenever he had the whim. How the hell had that happened?Well, that person was gone and I didn’t want to be weak anymore. I lifted my glasses, studied my eye again, and thought of my mother—she’d been weak, I remembered. The vision of my stepfather beating my mother to death invaded my mind. I was nine at the time, and sat cowering in the corner, praying he wouldn’t come at me when he’d finished with her. I’d watched him slap my mom around before, and she’d always been able to recover. But that last time, he’d gone too far. I watched as my mother fell to her knees, clutching her stomach as his foot came off the ground and struck her in the face. She’d fallen backwards and her head hit the edge of the red, brick hearth of the fireplace. I covered my eyes and screamed as blood spewed out all over the bricks and the worn out, dingy cream carpet. A neighbor heard the screaming and called the police. They’d gotten there in time for me, but too late for my mother.I’d been on my own since I was eighteen after enduring one foster home after another, never really fitting in. But at the tender age of fourteen I’d found my niche. An old discarded second-hand guitar I’d discovered in someone’s trash became my savior. As long as I had a guitar in my hands nothing else mattered. After a few months of living with some friends and several temporary gigs here and there, I’d been lucky enough to find a spot with a smalltime band singing and playing lead-guitar. They called themselves The Magic Crew. They were good too, on their way to stardom, and I was right there with them until Troy Harington showed up and swept me off my feet.It seemed as if it had all been a dream as I thought about how he’d manipulated me into believing he loved me. Handsome? Oh yeah, he was handsome.

The Fawn had me turning its pages until the very end. It's a very touching, emotional and gripping story that many fans of the genre will enjoy.

Lena found herself in a unwanted and very dangerous situation. After some time and planning, she found a way to get out of it, for good! It was a dangerous idea, but she'll finally be free of all of the verbal, physical, emotional and spiritual abuse she's been tolerating for too long.
Lena needs to stay far away from him, the area, friends and all in order to be rid of the treatment once and for all. Is it possible for her or is it all just a pipe dream?

I have to say that I felt as if I was reading a true story as a was reading. It's a very realistic story and kept my attention to the very end!

FACEBOOK / BLOG /AMAZON / GOODREADS / WEBSITE / PINTERESTI daydream often. If I didn't write, I think my mind would explode from an overload of fantasy and weirdness. To the annoyance of my friends and family, my characters sometimes become a part of my world. During my childhood, I would frequently get in trouble in school for daydreaming. Eventually, my vivid imagination paid off and I had the privilege of writing and co-directing my sixth-grade class play--a dreadful disaster; though not from my writing, of course, I must blame it on the acting. The craft of writing, although dormant for years, never really left me. Many years later, and with the help of technology, I let my imagination run wild again. Born in a small town in Pennsylvania, I enjoy writing about characters living in small quaint towns. I tend to lean toward the unusual and spooky. I read all genres but I love reading paranormal romance and like writing in that genre. My paranormal playing field delves into a different milieu, abandoning vampires and werewolves, but not discounting them. Someday I might like to write a novel about vamps and those furry creatures. But for now I like the bizarre mixed with romance. A strong hero or heroine confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and capabilities gets my blood running. I live in Northern California with my very romantic husband, my small yippy dog, Riley, and my humungous black cat, Saké. My family consists of his and her children; four wonderful sons, one beautiful daughter, and seven grandchildren. My greatest love in life is my family and those large and ever growing holiday dinners. I enjoy traveling. I hate running, but do it once in a while. Reading and writing are my favorite pastimes. a Rafflecopter giveaway Hosted by:

I Love It Rough Blog Tour

[image error]
Thanks to AR Von for hosting me today for my I Love it Rough Blog tour. I’m happy to be here to speak about the sequel to I Like Em Pretty, I Love it Rough, the second book in the N’awlins Exotica series.
The first book was more of a romance, a story of the budding love between a detective and a stripper who might also be a possible murder suspect. Frankie Choteau is called to the Garden District to investigate the death of successful businessman, Bob Kales. Along with the dead body, he finds the victim’s cute boy toy, Kajika Fortier, an exotic dancer at N’awlins Exotica complex. From the moment they meet, sparks fly and the two are instantly drawn together.
Now in book two, Frankie and Kajika face challenges in their new relationship. Frankie has come out to his peers and some of them aren’t treating him the same. The tragedy is mounting and upsetting him, pushing Detective Choteau to the brink of exhaustion. He thinks about quitting and wants Kajika to be by his side a lot more often, but Kajika balks at this and the two separate. Added in is a serial killer looking for his next victim, sexual tension between supporting characters Vance Morain, Kenina Porter, and Orrin Daugherty as well as Kajika’s new found “family members.” This is what I wanted book one to be; more of a mainstream book with the romance supporting the main plot.
In this book there are some twists and surprises as well as a little violence. I feel I pushed the limits with this book to add more intrigue into this already complex series of books. 
If you haven’t picked up the books yet they’re available at Amazon, All Romance, and Smashwords. Thanks for listening to me today. Please enjoy a blurb and snippet form the newest book!
Blurb
Livin’ in N’awlins ain’t all that easy…
Kajika Fortier loves his job, the attention he gets from onlookers, and Frankie Choteau. However, his new partner’s jealousy, mood swings, and over protectiveness drives Kajika to the brink but at the same time, excites him to no end.
To complicate things further, a murderer is on the loose looking for blood. All three of the killer’s victims are strippers which not only makes Frankie nervous about Kajika’s safety but leaves him questioning his love for being a homicide detective. Coupled with the stresses of cold cases as well as some fellow officers shunning him for coming out, Frankie is having second thoughts about staying in New Orleans. Despite the encouragement from Vance, Kenina, and Orrin as well as new chief Quinn Murray, Frankie is wondering if his life’s passion really is to catch the killers.
Will the new couple survive these new issues that impede their nearly perfect union? Or will the relationship fail, thus leaving Kajika alone and a target for New Orleans latest serial killer? Detective Choteau and Kajika’s commitment to one another is being tested in more ways than one and they only have one another to lean on.
Excerpt One
“Babe? Frankie?” Kajika’s voice snapped him out of his haze, and he rushed to the living room to greet his man. The moment Frankie met the brown gaze of his husband to be, his breath caught in his chest. He sure loved to look at the beautiful man Kajika Fortier had always been. “Hey, sugah.” Frankie grabbed his arms and brought him in for a passionate kiss on the lips. Just that sent a stir to his groin he knew he’d need to take care of immediately. “How was work?”Kajika reciprocated the embrace. “Long.” He dropped his bag and kicked it over in front of the closet. “I danced for almost forty minutes. Lana didn’t show up at the club tonight. I tried calling her, but she didn’t pick up. I really wanted to stop by but not without someone. I recall you telling me about the rash of assaults in her neighborhood.” Frankie nodded and massaged his man’s shoulders. “I’m glad you didn’t go by there alone, babe. Perhaps we’ll go check on her tomorrow after our early dinner? Perhaps she was sick or something or her phone ran out of juice.”Kajika agreed and wrapped his arms around Frankie’s waist. “I suppose.” Kajika’s worried expression instantly transformed to a smile. “So, my man, what did you do all day besides call and get me in trouble with everyone?”“Who me?” Frankie pointed to himself, and his eyes widened in surprise. “Nah, them girls just jealous, that’s all, especially Naomi. I don’t know what’s taking Orrin so long to ask her out on a formal date.”“Me neither.” Kajika clicked his teeth and leaned forward, taking a small bit of Frankie’s bottom lip in between his own. “I mean, they looked like they’d hit it off real well when we all got together at the club weeks ago. She said they talk on the phone almost every weekend, but Orrin gets so busy at the station.”Frankie groaned and reached around his lover’s body, clenching his buttocks tightly between his fingers. Surges of energy instantly shot to his groin and his nipples in response to Kajika’s affections. “Yeah, well, I know all about that. Still, he’s had a chance or two to just grab a bite with her or even a drink. Perhaps now that Kenie’s back he can try asking her out.” “Hopefully so. My girl needs some dick, so she’ll stop snapping on me.” Kajika laughed, moving forward into Frankie’s touches. He traced the lines of his face as well as his newly trimmed mustache and beard. “Well, enough about them. What’s on the agenda for our first night alone in a while, hmm? I’m not real hungry…for food, anyway. We had a quickie in the shower this morning−”“Which ain’t enough, lover.” Frankie gripped Kajika’s ass and lifted him from the floor, licking his lips like a tasty treat. He flashed a wicked grin. “I’m ready to go all night if we have to, sweetheart. I’ve been resting up for you all damn day.”Kajika chuckled and shifted, wrapping his legs around Frankie’s waist. “Then show me, babe. I’m not too tired to get it on into the wee hours, Frankie.” Kajika caressed Frankie’s lips with his fingertips, pushing one into his mouth. Frankie hungrily accepted, taking Kajika’s entire finger in, sucking it to the knuckle. “With pleasure−”Before Frankie could finish his sentence, his phone buzzed in his pocket, disturbing him from further thought. Frankie grimaced but continued to hold onto Kajika. “Damn! I knew I should’ve switched this fucking thing off!”“Ugh!” Kajika forced himself out of Frankie’s grip and frowned, petulantly crossing his arms over his chest. “Should I go to the bedroom and wait for you or expect to be eating a late night snack alone, watching I Love Lucy re-runs?” Frankie glanced at the screen and held his finger up to wait. Of course the station was calling to interrupt his special moment. “Hello?”“Frankie, Kenie here. I need you in here now, man. Orrin and Vance are on another case, and I need backup. There’s been a murder near Louis Three again.”Frankie cursed silently and shook his head. “Erg!” Kajika stomped out of the room, not bothering to look back. “Seriously? Goddamnit, I…” Frankie ran his hand over his head, thinking of an excuse not to go in. “Damn, Kenie, I was trying to enjoy my night off, and low and behold we gotta case on your first night back.”Frankie could hear her grin through the phone. “Yeah, just your dumb luck, huh, beloved? Come on, boy, don’t make me come and get you, right? I’m sorry I might be spoiling the evening with your pretty boy lovah, but−”Frankie rolled his eyes and sighed, knowing his man would be very upset. “No, you’re really not, but whatever. What’s the address?”“Thirty Seven, Seventeen Orleans is the address. We’ll−”Frankie’s eyes bulged, and his heart stopped. Could it be? Oh hell! “Kenie, you said a murder at that address?”Kenina cleared her throat. “Yes, sir, can we…”“I’ll see you in about twenty.” Frankie’s heart sped up not knowing what the heck to say to his man who was already upset about their plans being interrupted. Just how the hell would he say that his fellow dancer might be a victim of murder?

Lethal Obsession Trilogy Blog Tour

A year and eleven days ago I published my novel, Lethal Obsession, I suppose introducing both myself as a writer and my main character, Detective Angela Martin, to the world. It's been an interesting year. I never thought it would take me this long to get the second and third parts of the Lethal Obsession Trilogy done and out. Truth is, I didn't know it was a trilogy at the time. I just knew there would be a follow up to the novel, and as I was writing that second novel, making it a three-part saga just seemed the right way to go.It's been quite a journey, for both me and Angela. If you want to learn a little more about me and what I've done over these past twelve months, please check out my blog, Shandra's Shadow World. For now, I'd like to talk a bit about Angela.If you've read the first two novels, you know she was a hard-working, dependable, quietly determined woman who had worked her way from patrol officer to chief detective in the Moose Creek Police Department, a fictional town in the foothills of Northwestern North Carolina. And she was lonely, stuck in a loveless marriage. She met a man, online, and found herself seeking not only companionship, but with a desire to explore the world of BDSM. That exploration, coupled with some mysteriously familiar murders that take place in Moose Creek, changes her forever. Today is the official release of the final part of the trilogy, SURRENDER, where we continue following Angela. We get to see how she continues to deal with the tragedy that she suffered in the original Lethal Obsession, how she's growing and change, what she's willing to do for the job and how far she will go for love.SURRENDER, just like the first two novels, LETHAL OBSESSION and HELPLESS, is most definitely an explicit, erotic novel that delves deeply into the world of bondage and erogenous torture. And, like the first two novels, it is just as much a tale of suspense, a thriller that will keep you riveted to you Kindle, wanting to discover what is next, even without the erotic content.For me, creating Angela and her world has been a time of discovery, learning a bit about myself as a writer, storyteller, and even as a person. For you, as the trilogy draws to a close, I hope it's been a time of enjoyable reading, and hopefully an opportunity for you to get to know (and like) my fictional world. If you haven't yet read LETHAL OBSESSION, from today (March 11) until March 18 I'm running a sale for just 99 cents on Amazon.com. I hope you'll pick it up and give it a read.If you've already read LETHAL OBSESSIONand the sequel, HELPLESS, and you've been waiting for SURRENDER, it's here! Just click on the title link and download to your Kindle.Here's a little promotional description of the novel:

Detective Angela Martin returns to action in SURRENDER, Book 3 of the Lethal Obsession Trilogy. 

Having lost the man she was falling for in the original Lethal Obsession, and having her new love snatched from her arms by human traffickers who wouldn't think twice about killing to keep their national ring in operation, Detective Martin is determined to do anything necessary to save him. 

That leads to her doing the unthinkable, making a deal with the kidnappers to save her Anthony, that eventually leads to being on the run from the very law enforcement officers she's worked with her entire career. 

Her only refuge is to go deep into the world of BDSM, turning herself over to a submissive training academy and risking being sold into slavery. Ultimately, she finds her own life may be on the line, but not before she learns firsthand what true sexual servitude and bondage is. 
SURRENDER, like LETHAL OBSESSION and HELPLESS, is an erotic suspense tale that will keep you riveted to your ereader until the last word. 
 And here's an excerpt:Angela glanced at her watch – ten minutes after midnight. She grabbed the large metal knocker and slammed it against the door several times.Nothing.She repeated her efforts, striking the door harder, maybe a dozen times.She heard the sliding of dead bolts, then the door opened. Jasper.He was dressed in black, his thin beard and mustache accentuating the slender, angular shape of his face. Angela thought he looked like an evil carnival master."Detective Martin?""I need time with you."He smiled, but there was no humor in the expression."I told you last time that would be our only encounter. Good evening." He started to shut the door, but Angela stepped forward, put her foot in the way, grabbed his shirt."I need you," she pleaded. Angela could feel tears welling in her eyes, but didn't care.Jasper stared, but said nothing."I…my life…I need something. Please.""You've been drinking," Jasper said.She nodded. "It doesn't do any good. There's no relief."Angela began trembling. She felt a hurt inside, a craving to … she couldn't give words to what she needed. It was a burning need to give up, to surrender control, to let someone else hurt her, pleasure her, do whatever they wanted.Just so she didn't have to be responsible. For anything.In the back of her mind she suspected, knew even, that Jasper was involved with Kanesha and Anthony's kidnappers. She had seen the evidence in the video, but Angela didn't care. Somehow, in a way she couldn't explain, that made giving herself up to him more appealing, more satisfying. More liberating. Angela went down to her knees. "Please. My life…I need help.""What sort of help do you believe I can offer?""Relief," she whispered. "Jesus, I just want to surrender. Give up." She looked up at him. "Please?"Jasper reached down, took her hand and helped Angela stand. Without a word he stepped back and led her inside.*****
SURRENDER is available at Amazon.com for just $2.99, and will be coming to Barnes and Noble, Ibooks, Smashwords, and other outlets soon.
If you have any questions about the Lethal Obsession Trilogy, about me or my writing, feel free to post them here. I'll check back several times over the next week or so and answer anything you ask!
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Here's some Wolfish Teasing for The Keeper Finds Her Mate...

 It was the way of her people—this mating for life. It was beautiful in its strength of unity, but heartbreaking when one partner passed too early. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)

Normally, all objects of the dead were burned to return them to their owner, but Papa had kept this so that Mika could be a part of her daughter’s mating ceremony. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2) 
He growled, deep and low, caught up in the intense pleasure of the moment. Every rejection he’d suffered, every humiliation he’d endured was worth this connection with her.
Someday she would know the man behind the hard exterior he presented to the world, and she would come to love him as deeply as he loved her. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2) 
His warm tongue thawed the icy chill that had settled in her soul. When she didn’t move, he nudged her shoulder with his snout and whined softly. (~Red Phoenix, The Keeper Part 2)

About Red Phoenix:
I am a happily married woman who believes (based on personal experience) that love conquers all. It is a running theme in my writing.

One thing you will notice about my work, I'm all about variety. If a character beseeches me to write his/her story, I willingly give myself over no matter the genre or subject ~ as long as it includes hot, steamy sex. ;)
