My Demon Determined Book Review by Girly Girl Book Review

~Review by Sue Ellen~Oh my!! Talk about an amazing way to keep this series going!! Bringing a bit of heaven to hell, hmm how is that going to work? Well grab this book and you will know all the details I do. Seraphine has decided to follow Cole to Hell due to others trying to find her. You definitely learn a lot in this one. I throughly love the banter between Seraphine and Cole because they are different, but they balance each other out. Where Cole’s dark side comes out Seraphine does things that made me laugh. I say this is another great book in this trilogy, can’t wait for the third one.Click here to check out more of the review!

My Decadent Demon Review by Girly Girl Book Review

~Review by Sue Ellen~What an amazing novel by these two authors. You wouldn't believe that these two have just started out by the way this novel is written. The plot and story line that has been created is amazing and is a quick read. The characters are well written and definitely not boring.  You have Seraphine who is an angel and represents everything that is good. While Cole, is a demon and is from the dark side. However, when these two collide there is a war of passion! Will Seraphine be able to keep her heart wrapped up this time or will Cole take possession of it? The scenes are very hot, and even though you may have questions it is left open for another one (which is out now too). This is only the beginning, looking forward to see what the future will have for us. If you like reading about angels and demons I would recommend giving this series a try.Click here to check out more of our review!!

Book 3 in the "My Demon Trilogy"

A SHINY 4-STAR REVIEW FOR ~MY DECADENT DEMON!~

"I would have to say that I enjoyed this book immensely. It has plenty of elements that I love in a paranormal romance. The characters were both lovable and delicious. The love just shined through the book at me, making me hope throughout that they would be what they were meant to be.....together. It kept me turning the pages, with the need to find out.

The sex scenes were sexy, there was enough to show me how much they loved sex and each other, and the authors didn't let the scenes over ride the love story.

I also loved the way the two authors wrote together. You could tell that they have been writing together for a while, and it showed on how well each persons writing blended with the others. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves a paranormal romance."

Awesome Interview at Jeanz Book Read N Review!

http://jeanzbookreadnreview.blogspot....

Did you always want to be a writer? If not what did you want to be?Nikita: I have always loved to write. It came easily for me from a very young age. But back then, self-doubt controlled a large part of my vision for the future. It seems growing older does have its pluses, because over time my self-confidence did begin to grow. When my first book idea came to me, it was so powerful that I knew in that moment that I wanted to write for the rest of my life... and never ever stop. :)Alicia:  I wrote off and on when I was younger making up stories, or poems, but I never wanted to ‘be’ a writer until 3 years ago.

When did you first consider yourself as a "writer"?Nikita: I think I considered myself a writer ever since I began writing my own stories. As opposed to engaging in a kind of fan fiction, I began creating my own characters and my own stories, doing it every single day out of need as much as fun. It was (and still is) an utter passion, whether others see my work or not, and I think it’s possessing that kind of fever (and acting on it) that essentially establishes one as a writer.Alicia: When we published our first book? Actually I just love creating stories and creating all the fun adventurous creations, that my imagination can come up with. So I don’t think of myself as a writer. Just one that loves to tell stories.
Did it take a long time to get your first book published?Alicia: We wrote together for 2 years before we thought about publishing what we had written.Nikita: Once we finished our first book, the publishing process went very quickly because we’d agreed to go the self-publish route initially. In one day we had our story up on countless bookselling sites. Once we finish the trilogy, however, (set for April 2014) we plan to take our baby to a few publishing houses, which we anticipate will take quite a bit longer. ;)
What is the name of your latest book, and if you had to summarise it in less than 20 words what would you say?Alicia: “My Demon Determined.”Nikita: A demon and his angel, fighting against fate to be together, enduring hell (in all its crazy forms) to achieve it.
Who is your publisher? Or do you self publish?Alicia: We are self-publishedNikita: Yes. What she said. LOL
How long does it usually take you to write a book, from the original idea to finishing writing it?Alicia: We try to get them out in a timely manner so no one forgets what the first book is about being we are doing a trilogy of these characters. Six months is what we shoot for.Nikita: There are so many different variants affecting the speed in which I write my different stories, so that’s a really difficult question to answer. With our “My Demon Trilogy,” though, I think it will take us about two years total by the time it’s complete, as we view it as ultimately one story, broken into three parts.
What can we expect from you in the future? ie More books of the same genre? Books of a different genre?Alicia: There is a third book due out next year, and we have one more in the works to write after that. The genre is the same.Nikita: Yes, after we complete the My Demon Trilogy, we’d like to do a spin-off of the series involving character(s) the readers meet in the trilogy. I also have a handful of other projects currently in the works that I’m very excited about. All are paranormal romance, but one will have a distinct sci-fi edge to it!
Do you have plans for a new book? Is this book part of a series?Alicia: The third book will be the wrap up to the “My Demon Trilogy.”  Nikita: Yes, and it is set to release in April of 2014.
What genre would you place your books into?Alicia & Nikita: (in unison) Paranormal Romance

What made you decide to write that genre of book?Nikita: For me, that’s the genre I love and obsess over, so it was a no-brainer. I crave the excitement that other species and worlds offer. It makes the sky the limit, where anything is possible. I absolutely love that.   Alicia:  I’ve always read this genre, and others but this one (paranormal) is fun to write. There is no boundries, but your imagination.
Do you have a favourite out of the books you have written? If so why is it your favourite?Nikita: No way. All three books are equally packed with wildly crazy and deliciously exasperating scenes, each story’s driving force just as captivatingly heart-wrenching as the next. Nope, I’d never be able to chose. :)Alicia:  What she said all three are great. Me either I would not ever be able to choose just one.
Do you have a favourite character from your books? and why are they your favourite?Nikita: Well of course for me, my favorite character is Cole. He is, after all, the one who lured Sera to life. Without him, she would never have been, but now that she is, I could never have as much fun if I didn’t have Cole to torment! He is my heart’s delight, an amazing muse, and arguably the sexiest demon (in body and mind) that ever graced the paranormal page.
If you had to choose to be one of your characters in your book/books which would you be? and why?Nikita: Sera, of course! With an intrinsically good heart, she’s also an utter goofball. I love goofballs. Yet, when it comes to times that matter, she’s also quite the badass. Besides, who wouldn’t want to have huge, gorgeous wings?Alicia:  I’d like to be Cole just for his sense of  dry humor, and he is just a up front pulls no punches, take it like it is person.
How long have you been writing?, and who or what inspired you to write?Nikita: I’ve been writing off and on since I was an adolescent, but didn’t start doing it seriously, and with a passion, until a few years ago. And without a doubt, my favorite authors and their incredible stories have been my inspiration for writing. I want to bring the kind of enjoyment they give to me to any who are willing to give our stories a chance. :)Alicia:  I did not get serious about writing until three years ago when I started Rp’ing on Facebook. It’s hard to choose what inspired me but mostly my love of all the authors I read or have read. They do it so damn good that I was in awe of their talent. I have discovered that I enjoy entertaining by writing.
Where do you get your book plot ideas from?Nikita:  Like I said earlier, in the My Demon Trilogy, Cole was the driving force behind the idea of Sera. And in the process of bringing her to life, their story came tumbling into existence, too. It was a glorious day of brainstorming that still makes my heart pound just thinking about. My other plot ideas have come from all kinds of places, though I’d probably have to say that songs and images are where most tend to originate.  
Do you have anybody read your books and give you reviews before you officially release them?ie. Your partner, children, friends, reviewers you know?We have beta readers that read and give us their take on what we write.
Do you read all the reviews of your book/books?Yes, we like to see the feedback of what people think of our books.
How do you come up with the Title and Cover Designs for your book/books?Nikita makes our cover designs, which are awesome. As for titles we kick around names until we come up with one we both like. This might take minutes or an hour.  They are always subject to change before we are done writing the book.  
How do you market/promote your books?We promote on all the social sights, and lots of word of mouth helps to.  
What do you think about book trailers?Actually Alicia has made one for each book to help with the promoting.

Do you market the book any differently with it having two authors?No not really, it just means there is more people hearing about us since there is two of us, two times the friends that tell other people. It works out great.
How do you decide who writes which part of the book?We basically write for our character, and bounce back and forth it works and flows for us.  
If there's a disagreement, say about plot, title, cover etc how do you solve it?We discuss what it is and then go about making sure that we are on the same page, and that we are good with whatever the problem might be.
Who decides which name goes first on the book?With us it really does not matter who’s first or second.  
Do you get together in the same room to do the writing or is it all done via computers?
Being we both live a long way from each other it’s done via computer or skype when we need to discuss things.  
What piece of advice would you give to a new writer?As long as you're doing something you enjoy, then go for it. No matter what never give up that dream, because one day it will happen.
Do you or would you ever use a pen name?We both use a pen name for privacy sake.

Reading Lark After Dark Review

The second installment in the My Demon trilogy is out, and what a fun ride! Cole and Seraphina are now on the run from the angels  and are forced to take refuge in hell. Hiding from her family is one thing, having Sera exposed to evil on a consistent basis is another. She is strong, but is she strong enough to resist the pull of evil she will now be surrounded by on a daily basis. Besides that, Cole’s demon is stronger there. He tends to come out at inopportune times and Sera learns much about him, but is it more than she bargained for?

I love Sera’s innocence and her wonder in all things. I also enjoyed her learning to come into her own. Sera discovers a wealth of strength when she needs it the most in dealing with Cole’s demon and his demon finds her intriguing. In fact, he sees her as a challenge, but one he wants to possess. Sera had me laughing and grinning when she challenged Cole in his demon form and brought him to his knees. The sex between the two is hot. I had to fan myself several times when they have a meeting of the minds and bodies.The adventures they have as they try to gather the item they need to be able to hide from her family in plain sight are nothing short of hilarious and at the same time, dangerous. Sera is seemingly oblivious to the danger they face. One of my favorite scenes is right before they leave on their trek and Sera has carried in the large bags of items she is taking with her. She is loaded for bear, ready for anything. Cole forces her to narrow it down to one weapon, rather than the arsenal she has packed. Her frustration is a riot. 

At times I thought Sera was a little naïve, but that is her draw for me. She has so much to learn and she is determined to be independent, but at the same time, be Cole’s partner. I love that Cole, both the man and the demon, sees her as a strong woman, but also wants to care for her and provide for her.
The end of the book left me hanging and dying to know what happens next. I look forward to book three!
