Interviews with Victoria: Blake from Long Overdue by Tara Andrews

Victoria: Today, I have on my couch, Blake from the lovely, 1NS, Long Overdue by Tara Andrews. 

I'm a gal that likes whips, chains, spikey things, and breaking the ice. So tell me, what's your favorite sexual position?

Blake: Whoa. *settles back and stretches an arm across the back of the couch* 

You don’t hold any punches, do you? 

Victoria: I sure don't. *winks*

Blake: *shrugs* Not really many I don’t like, but if we’re talking what turns me on the most? When I’m standing and she’s lying on something in front of me. And if we’re flying, even better. Advantages of owning my own planes.

Victoria: Now that's a club I've never joined, the Mile High variety. While you're sailing the sexual friendly skies do you prefer boxers or briefs? Panties or thongs? 

Blake: For me, boxers, of course.  Panties for her. Something soft, like silk. There’s just something seductive in the way they curve around her ass, and there’s more to grab onto when needed.

Victoria: I'm all about the grabbing. Speaking of that, can you please tell me your biggest secret? 

Blake: I’m not big on telling secrets. However, since you asked nicely, I will elaborate on something mentioned in the book. I regretted not asking Jill out back in college, but also glad I didn’t because, ten years ago, I don’t think I would have known how to give her everything she deserves.

Victoria: Something you and I have in common Blake, redeeming our past mistakes. I also firmly believe in knowing what you want, as well as how to give. So describe in 3 words your ideal woman or man? Hell, why not both *evil grin*

Blake: My ideal woman is real, honest, and independent.

Victoria: Keeping it simple. I can appreciate that, Blake. You know, my book is called 'What You Need' and I think it speaks for itself. *winks* What do you think about the author's title for your book?

Blake: I have to say, the title Long Overdue couldn’t have been more appropriate for me and Jill. Our relationship was long overdue. I also happen to know, the author relates to title on a personal level since she’d been writing for many years before pursuing writing seriously.

Well, thanks for stopping by Blake. I had a wonderful time. I implore all you readers to take advantage of getting Blake and Jill's story at a great price of 99cents right now. See below for more info on the book and where to buy. 

Blurb: Jill Malone has been looking for love for all the wrong reasons. A reality check has her signing up for a no-strings attached night to simply forget about forever after. The last thing she expected was to know her blind date.

Blake Anders doesn’t need help finding a date, but he’s tempted by 1Night Stand’s reputation of arranging exactly what a person needs. And he needs more. Though doubtful, he agrees to one night and hopes to discover his perfect match. He didn’t count on Madame Eve reaching deep into his past to give him a night with the woman he never forgot.

Fearing another broken heart, Jill works to keep herself from becoming attached, but Blake goes all in to convince her that he wants their long-overdue love to be more than a one-night stand…

New Release: A Different Class by Leigh Ellwood

I got lucky enough to be involved in Leigh's cover reveal a couple months ago and now she's back with her book officially available. Here's a special message just from her: 

I am thrilled to be part of the Decadent family! The idea for A Different Class came about after an invitation arrived for an upcoming high school reunion. I asked myself what might happen if somebody felt reluctant to attend because of bad experiences and memories, and how one night arranged by Madame Eve changes everything.

Right now I am halfway into the follow-up to this story, another hot M/M. I hope you’ll pick up A Different Class, and if you enjoy it drop me a line on Twitter at @LeighEllwood. J

Blurb

FDR High Class of 2004 graduate, Glenn Carson contacts fellow alumni to get a list of who will be attending the upcoming festivities. One call to a disgruntled former student leaves him shaken—apparently, not everyone is looking forward to the reunion. Hoping to ease his frustration, he contacts the 1Night Stand service for a relaxing and passionate encounter.

Known as “Mumbles” to former classmates, Rod Maloney would prefer to focus on the present and his successful business. However, past tragedies continue to haunt him, so he requests Madame Eve find him a man to show him a hot time and help him forget his troubles.

Will their one night together lead to a reunion after all?

Cover Reveal: Complete Me by Cate Peace

Check out this amazing cover from my buddy and fellow 1Night Stand author Cate Peace. This cover was made by another Decadent author Mina Carter. Tell us what you think.

Out of the dating game for five years, best-selling romance author Claire Ergleston is convinced that writing out the romances she’s always wanted is a lot safer than trying in real life. Then she receives the news that she’s been signed up for a 1Night Stand date “to give her something to talk about in interviews.” Nothing worse than a romance author with no romance to pick apart.

Former rock star Ty Krause has let his past rule him for almost a decade. Unable to let the former love of his life go for good, he spends his days writing passable songs for a British boy band and his nights wishing he had the balls to say goodbye. In a last ditch effort, he signs up for 1Night Stand, thinking that a night of no-strings-attached sex will help him cut the other strings holding him back.

When the two meet, their instant attraction and connection muddy the waters a little too much. Will past hurts hold them back from each other, or will they be able to move forward and live out their dreams together?

I can't wait to read this one and it should be out in the near future. :) 

New Year's Eve COVER REVEAL - What You Need

Ever since signing the contract back in July I've wondered and pondered what my cover would like for Royce and Veronica's story. Now I know and I'm incredibly excited and a little turned on by it.

Who are Royce and Veronica?

Royce is looking for a woman who won’t cringe at the words “sexual submissive,” and a chance for all his fantasies to come true. The 1Night Stand he signed up for was supposed to be simple with no attachments, but when his match is his ex-best friend, simple goes out the window. He can’t stop seeking the answers to why Victoria left or deny his new-found attraction to her.
Victoria has loved Royce forever, but his rejection of her affections eight years ago caused her to walk away from everything. She’s not the same girl from college, and no longer naive and willing to run too just anyone. A sexual dominant born from her mistakes, she wants a chance to start a relationship based on her terms. She’ll settle for one night, but she’s planning on forever.

The book is set to release sometime in January 2014. So, not long to wait at all. More news and excerpts will be coming soon. I promise. In the meantime, pop open the bubbly and help me toast to Royce and Veronica finding what they need. *winks*

Also, I want to give a huge thank you and shout-out to Fiona Jayde for my sexy cover. An another big thank you to Decadent Publishing for giving Veronica and Royce a chance to share their story. Finally, a big 12-dozen-repeated Thank You to all the authors spreading the joy and beauty of my cover today: Cate Peace, M.A. Dunham, Kathleen Ann Gallagher, Cassandra Dean, Zee Monodee, Taryn Kincaid, Nana Prah, Tara Quan,  Kathryn Lively , Eva Lafoy, Jennah Scott, and Shiloh Saddler 

Finally thank you to YOU. Thank you for stopping by, for reading, and continuing to be interested in my brand of crazy.

Tour Stop: This Time Next Year Blog Tour +Giveaway

Blog Tour!

So there's this awesome book out. I beta'd this book, and I have to admit I'm really excited about this release. Here's a blurb:

Vampire Kiernan Shaw has never forgotten the night twenty years ago when he’d been forced to stand by while another vampire killed a six-year-old girl’s parents in front of her. He’s spent the better part of the last two decades watching over her, protecting her and hoping for an opportunity to make amends one day.

Ever since surviving the vampire attack that killed her parents, Moira Curran has dealt with the resulting nightmares and abandonment issues the only way she could—by throwing herself into her biochemistry career, preferring a life of a hermit in her lab to facing the reality of her lonely life.

Madame Eve brings them back together for one fateful night. An immediate bond of sizzling chemistry and respect forms, but can it heal her fears and his guilt?

Pickup your copy at Amazon, Decadent Publishing, and All Romance Ebooks

Still not sure? Well, as a special treat I've got our hero Kiernan in a chair and ready to answer some questions about himself. Maybe that will help make up your mind. :) 

I've never hosted a vampire on my blog before, let alone one as good looking and steadfast as you. Moira is a lucky woman. 

*chuckle* You’re too kind. And if you wouldn’t mind passing that along, I’d appreciate it.  ;)

But I've got a few questions for you. One being, what's your take on true love? 

Excellent question, and one I’ve thought quite a bit about over the last several years.

I believe true love is something rare and beautiful, and that once you find it, you should never let it out of your grasp. You guard it with your life, you fight for it, you defend it. If you’re lucky enough for someone to love you with their entire being, you do not take that love lightly.

What's your motivation, career goals? Blood? Companionship? 

*Grin* My motivation is currently in the other room talking to her best friend on the phone. Currently, I’m focusing on training Moira to curb her…less loveable traits. So far, she’s proven a good student, though she enjoys hunting a little too much. I have the feeling her lab experiments were never quite as exciting.

Otherwise, since I have all of my old Master’s assets, we lead a comfortable life. I’m hoping to continue Moira’s training, then perhaps find a coven.

Your favorite word and why? 

Spifflicated. When I was…well, human…it was a favorite word for “drunk.” Words these days don’t have the same punch. Sometimes I say it just to make Moira laugh.

Your least favorite word and why? 

Any of this new vernacular. My mate is a fan of the word “whatever.” She uses it at every opportunity, and it makes me insane.

What advice would you give for those of us considering a 1 Night Stand? 

Trust in Madame Eve’s choice. I still don’t know if she’s a jinn or a goddess, but she’s a miracle-worker.

Another treat is Cate's giving away copies of her book. That's right. So enter for a chance to win.
