Interviews with Victoria: Elizabeth from Always the Quiet Ones by Cassandra Carr

Victoria: Today, I've got Elizabeth from Cassandra Carr's latest Contemporary Erotic Romance, Always the Quiet Ones.

Welcome, Elizabeth! I'm into prolonging things in the bedroom, but not out of it so tell me... What's your favorite sexual position?

Elizabeth: Whichever one feels the best at the time. Sometimes one works a lot better than another, and then next time you try it, nothing.

Victoria: I like your enthusiasm towards experimentation. What about Boxers or Briefs? Thongs or Panties?

Elizabeth: Boxer briefs. ;-) I think thongs are evil, so I guess my answer is panties.

Victoria: I'll have to disagree with you there. There's something sexy about a thong, in my opinion. Especially when I get one on my man. *winks* How about secrets? Can you tell me your biggest secret?

Elizabeth: I could, but then I’d have to keep you as my pet. I bet you thought I was going to say “then I’d have to kill you”. Maybe my biggest secret is that I can’t kill anyone or that I have a human as a pet fetish.

Victoria: This interview is getting interesting. Tell me more about humans as pets fetish... unless that means I have to become your pet. I'm a dominant, not a switch. Instead describe your ideal woman or man in 3 words? Hell, why not both? *evil grin*

Elizabeth: I figured out that I have no lesbian tendencies when I went to a strip club with my guy friends and a stripper gave me a lap dance. Sooo, given that...Sexy, Caring, Intelligent.

Victoria: Traits I can't argue with. Luckily I've already snagged a submissive that fits all three.

Alright, last question: 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?

Elizabeth: I think you can never quite trust the quiet ones.

Victoria: Thank you, Elizabeth for taking the time to answer my unconventional questions. For readers... keep reading, there's more about Elizabeth and her story below. Until next time dream of whips, chains, and arousing things.

Blurb: King of the geeks Marty Johnston has a serious crush on his co-worker Elizabeth. The principal IT consultant wants more than just a flirtation, but guilt over a one-night-stand-but-maybe-more Marty had on his last business trip before meeting Elizabeth could cost him his big chance with the girl of his dreams. He’s comfortable dealing with computers, not people. Can he step way outside his comfort zone to sort things out, or will he lose the one he’s falling for?

New Release: Perfect Mate and Blood Mate by Mina Carter

Today I have Mina Carter stopping by. She's talking about really awesome Paranormal books she has for two different series. A long post, but worth the read. Also readers, you know I'm not a zombie fan, but I'm going to have to read about SARAs. 

Blurb for Perfect Mate:

Monsters do exist...and they’re the good guys.

Lillian Rosewood leads an ordinary, boring life working as the manager of a psychiatric hospital. The highlights of her day, other than her skinny hot chocolate, are the hunky guards who work in the secure section. 

Until a late-night emergency is wheeled in.

Captain Jack Harper is insane, drop-dead gorgeous...and just had his abdomen shredded. Despite the fact they're not an emergency room, Lillian can't turn him away and risk a death on her hands. Unable to get the handsome soldier out of her mind, Lillian sneaks into the restricted area to check on him. What she finds is beyond belief. Somehow Jack has managed to heal himself from a near-fatal wound in mere hours.

When one of the doctors, Walker, attempts to rape her, things go from bad to worse. In the blink of an eye, Jack is loose and Walker is dead... and Lillian must accept a truth about her rescuer that will change her world forever. 

What if the patients aren't insane? What if their stories of secret government experiments and monsters are true?

Warning: Contains blood, mayhem and nude werewolves operating heavy weaponry. Large amounts of sarcasm and smart-ass vampires may offend some readers. No civilian hospital staff were harmed in the making of this story.

Blurb for Blood Mate:

The only thing they have in common? Really...sharp...teeth.

The Project Rebellion, Book 2

Major Antonia Fielding has one goal: to escape the clutches of the Project. With the blood-virus infecting her system, though, a body bag is likely her only way out. Until her boss lets slip that he may just have a cure for her—if she brings in an escaped Lycan.

Can she trust him? Now there’s the million-dollar question. Then again, can she afford not to take that chance? 

Darce Foster was a Special Forces soldier, until the Project got hold of him. Now he’s a Lycan, a lab-created werewolf, to escaping his creators—until another of the Project’s experiments stops him in his tracks. Not because she has the power to hold him, but because he instantly recognizes the impossible. The vampiress is his mate.

Allowing her to bring him in is his only choice—and possibly the last mistake of his life.

Enemies or lovers, it doesn’t matter. When they discover that the Project is hiding yet more secrets, they must work together to bring it down...or die in the attempt.

Warning: Contains a cocky wolf who won’t take no for an answer, an ice-queen losing her cool and a pack full of hunky werewolves bent on rescue. And zombie spidermen.

Author Bio:

Mina was born and raised in the East Farthing of Middle Earth (otherwise known as the Midlands, England) and spend her childhood learning all the sorts of things generally required of a professional adventurer. Able to ride, box, shoot, make and read maps, make chainmail and use a broadsword (with varying degrees of efficiency) she was disgusted to find that adventuring is not considered a suitable occupation these days.

So, instead of slaying dragons and hunting vampires and the like, Mina spends her days writing about hot shifters, government conspiracies and vampire lords with more than their fair share of RAWR. Turns out wanna-be adventurers have quite the turn of imagination after all...

(But she keeps that sword sharp, just in case the writing career is just a dream and she really *is* an adventurer.)

The boring part: A full time author and cover artist, Mina can usually be found hunched over a keyboard or graphics tablet, frantically trying to get the images and words in her head out and onto the screen before they drive her mad. She's addicted to coffee and would like to be addicted to chocolate, but unfortunately chocolate dislikes her.

Available for Preorder

Project Rebellion (SARA Book 1)

This is an offshoot of the Mate Series

There is life after death, unfortunately for them, it's the same one...

Brett Perkins was a soldier, until the Project killed him. Now he's finding that life after death isn't so hot. With the Project base destroyed, he and his team have been tasked with running down and destroying a group of rogue Bloods. Unfortunately the vampires always seem to be one step ahead. Then they start kidnapping women... 

Thanks to her soon-to-be ex-husband, Julia Collier is despised and reviled in the small town of Greenwood. His stories have painted her as everything from an air-headed gold-digger to a nymphomaniac serial killer. She can't even shop in the local store without suffering abuse from her fellow townsfolk, and that's before the late night calls or her ex's bully-boys following her.

When her home is broken into, Julia assumes it's her husband making good on his threats to 'deal with her for good'. She never dreams that it will lead a descent into another, terrifying world. One inhabited by werewolves, vampires...and zombies. Or that zombies could be so damn hot. Espeically one certain example who makes her heart pound and all her common sense disappear over the horizon. After all, what woman in her right mind would fall for the undead?

Unless the undead aren't dead at all, but something more than human, from a world she'll need all her wits and new abilities to survive the battle between the undead...and the dead.

Project Rebellion: They're not heroes, they're something else... They're SARAs and they're about to kick ass.

New Release: Spanked by the Bad Boy by London Saint James

I love a good book that promises a bad boy and spankings. That's exactly what London Saint James is serving up in her latest release. A novella length, triple hot story about... well, I let the blurb, excerpt and the cover do all the talking. 

Blurb: As the personal assistant to the owner of one of the top engineering firms in Denver, Tiffany Brooks has worked hard at maintaining a professional façade, intent on ridding herself of terrible habits—like her attraction to bad boys. But when the owner of DC Construction rides his chopper into her world two years after their one-time anonymous sexual encounter, everything turns upside down.

Declan Cage is the type of guy who makes a lasting impression, especially with women, yet the gorgeous assistant at Stoub Engineering never remembers his name—or does she? Intrigued by her game, her sexier than sin body, and an infuriating prissy attitude, Ms. Brooks is begging to be taken into hand, and he’s the man to do it.

Armed with the knowledge Declan doesn’t recognize her, will Tiffany give in to her desire for him yet again, or will her past come back to haunt them both and ruin their chance at something real?

Excerpt: 

Tiffany Brooks heard the familiar tocato-tocato-tocato sound of a purring motor. She

swiveled in her office chair to look out the window and saw him park his custom

chopper next to her car on the paved lot of Stoub Engineering.

Straddling his chrome bike wearing chunky leather-work boots, jeans, and a simple

white T-shirt, Declan Cage set her heart to pitter-pat.

She touched her chest and groused, “You’re not attracted to him, Tiffany.”

Tucking a piece of sable-brown hair behind her ear, she straightened her shoulders

and put on her toothy-white smile.

“Good morning,” she said when he entered the building.

“Morning, Ms. Brooks.”

She observed him coming toward her desk and willed her face to look pleasant, yet

restrained. She needed to keep her gaze particularly uninterested in him although the

smug politeness she plastered across her features was hard to accomplish. Declan had a

swagger that made her want to gawk at him.

“How are you today?” he asked.

“I’m fine,” she said. “And you?”

“Fabulous.”

Her response was a blank faced, “I’m sorry. I’m not good with names.”

He crinkled his brow, and the muscle in his jaw flexed. Yeah. There it was. The look.

She’d definitely gotten under his skin.

“I’m Declan.” He turned slightly to show her his back and gestured over his shoulder

toward the logo. The silver skull ring he wore on his thumb gleamed. “From DC

Construction,” he said. She couldn’t help but notice the way his muscles bulged beneath

the shirt.

“Oh yes.” She waved her hand about.

She knew who he was and had immediately recognized him the first time he’d

sauntered into the office over a month ago. She’d played it cool then, and she’d play it

cool now. Besides, revealing her little secret would be nothing but detrimental. Yet even

if it was a dangerous game, she loved bugging the hell out of him with her I’m-bad-with names

thing, especially since she imagined he wasn’t used to a woman forgetting him.

Continuing with the I’m-a-busy-professional-who’s-not-impressed-by-you farce, she

casually glanced at her laptop, flipped the lid closed, then looked back up at him. “How

may I help you today?”

“Matthew called me this morning. He said he left some plans here and I should come

by to pick them up.”

“Plans for the Cherry Hills project, right?”

Declan smiled, and his dimples made an appearance through the brownish stubble on

his face. Tiffany shook her legs beneath her desk a couple of times then stopped the

nervous movement, glad he couldn’t see them.

“Yes,” he said. “For the parking garage.”

She rolled her chair back and stood, sliding her hands down the sides of her hips,

hoping to smooth out any wrinkles in her skirt and secretly wishing to bring attention to

her curves. She removed her sweater so the silk and lace tank top hidden beneath could

be seen. When she flopped the garment over the back of her chair, she straightened her

spine and pressed her ample breasts out.

“Follow me,” she said, tugging at the hem of her shirt.

Satisfied she’d given him a fairly good view of her hourglass figure, she glanced up.

Declan stood beside her, and even though she wore four-inch heels, he towered above

her. His height sort of intimidated her, but her body didn’t seem to impress him.

Crap.

He pulled a cell phone from the leather holder hooked to his jeans and stared at the

screen. “Sorry,” he said in a bored tone. “I forgot to send a text.” His fingers tapped. He

put the phone away in a lackadaisical manner. “Lead on.”

Unwilling to let his lack of interest faze her, she gave Declan her back and walked.

“The plans are in Mr. Stoub’s office.”

“Super,” he said.

She sashayed across the room with her chin held high, stopping at the marble counter

across from the conference room and pointing toward the fancy coffeemaker. “There’s

fresh coffee. Can I get you some?”

“No. I’m fine. But thanks for offering,” he said.

“Mm.” She continued toward the office, Declan following her. “Well.…” After walking

in, she eyed several elongated white tubes sitting on top of the oversized desk and

gestured toward one wingback chair. “Have a seat. It will take me a second or two to find

the right drawings.” She walked around the office furniture as Declan sat on the edge of

the chair. Picking up one tube, she read the label. “Sawyer,” she said and set it down in

too much of a rush. Her hand accidently hit the other containers. They jostled and

started to roll. She tried to stop their momentum, but several of the cylinders went over

the side and hit the floor. “Geez Louise.” Tiffany sidestepped and bent to get them.

Declan had already jumped up to help her.

“Here, let me,” he said, coming to her side and squatting next to her.

When he reached for the mess, his right arm brushed against the top portion of her

left shoulder. She sucked in a breath at the contact and thought her heart would stop

from the frisson of energy snapping over her skin. Every part of her body became aware

of him. He was potent. And virile. A rough, intoxicating man in his prime.

Refusing to be reduced to a quivering weakling, she reminded herself he was only a

man, akin to any other, and turned to see his face. “Thank you.”

He met her gaze. “Anytime.”

Those eyes. The color of the sea. Deep, blue-green, and fathomless.

Who was she trying to kid? Declan Cage wasn’t just any man. She looked away and

focused on something else.

Tiffany fixed her attention on the clutter she’d created, but she was still watching

him—staring at his large hands while he gathered up the blueprint holders. She licked

her lips and pictured those hands on her body, fondling her.

Cover Reveal: Don't Call Me Iron Man by N.D. Wylders

Today, I've got N.D. Wylders taking over my blog to show off the cover for her upcoming Beyond Fairytales release. Welcome, N.D.! 

Hi everyone! *waves* So, to make this a little more interesting than just showing off my sexy cover and giving you a quick snippet from my new upcoming release from Decadent, I thought I’d give you some fast five’s at each blog who is featuring my new shiny cover. That way you get to know a bit about the crazy characters and the fantastic world of Sisera that is featured in Don’t Call Me Iron Man.  And for this stop you’re going to get a quick glimpse into the basic facts of Lucero’s mating ritual.

Fast Five about Tribus Noctibus:

1. Is divided into three separate tests, one per night.

2. Is held sacred and is the ultimate power exchange between those involved.

3. The first test involves nothing more than sensual touches. The idea is to drive the submissive over the edge with nothing more than your touch.

4. Lucero gets more than he bargains for as he guides Ivan though each test.

5. Ivan has agreed to the mating test, never realizing it could be the end of his chances returning home. 

Blurb:

Once upon a time...there was this guy. A man who had an IQ out of this world and was arrogant enough to give the legendary Tony Stark a run for his money. He had everything he could ever want - a good job, more money than he knew what to do with, and all the sex he wanted - no strings attached. But that all changed on one fateful night...

The last thing Ivan Chugunov expected when he dropped by his favorite haunt for a few brews was to be entertained by a mysterious storyteller. But as he listened to the man's tale of a prince and an oddity that went by the name of Iron John, he found himself lost in the story...only to awaken in another realm - one with a quest - for him. Repair the purifier vital to all those who lived and retrieve a medical unit. Seemed simple enough and a small enough price to pay to return to his own realm. Well, until he finds out that said 'LT-1789 unit' is actually a reclusive cybernetic man. One who will demand his own price of Ivan - three nights of unbridled sexual bliss...with Ivan at his mercy. Only then will he return to the royal clutch. Can Ivan, a man who relishes control above all else, submit to a man who may be more machine than human?

Excerpt:

“Until the queen sent me in to unclog the purifier again.” Ivan rolled onto his back, his limbs sprawled out in a way that was so reminiscent of Vihaan, Lucero wasn’t sure if he wanted to cry or jump the man. “After losing your lover, there’s probably nothing I could offer that would convince you to return to the royal clutch, is there?”

Lucero astonished himself when the words flew out of his mouth. “I want the tribus noctibus. Give me three nights of pleasure, and I will return with you.”

Ivan frowned and pushed up on one arm. “What do you mean three nights of pleasure? You’re demanding I sleep with you, in exchange for something you’ve done before?”

He gave a hoarse chuckle. “No, you’re asking me to return to a life of watching those around me die, of being under the thumb of a queen who cares more for land than those who live on it. Well, I won’t go back to that kind of hell without being compensated.”

“And forcing me to have sex with you is your way of being paid? How do you even know if I’m into men?”

Lucero continued to rock but met Ivan’s gaze. “I’d never force you to do anything you didn’t want, Ivan. I’m designed to take care of others. The same thing that tells me that you’re approximately two-hundred-and-sixty-five pounds and six-foot-five assures me that you are more than just attracted to me. When I get close, your heart rate accelerates, your breathing becomes faster, and your blood pools in your groin.”

Ivan sat up with a surge of powerful muscles, his face red. “You scanned me?”

“In a fashion. The same sensors that allow me to diagnose illness pick up things like elevated heartbeat and heavy breathing.” Lucero crossed his arms over his chest. “So it’s simple. You find me attractive and I’ve been alone a long time. You need me to go back to the clutch, and I find myself yearning for what I’ve been so long without—a lover. Agree to this, and I’ll return to the clutch with you at the end of the three days.”

“Just like that?” Suspicion colored Ivan’s words.

Lucero nodded. “If you make it through all three days, Ivan. However, what I view as sexual pleasure may be more than what you’re used to.”

THE BITTEN, SHORTEN, NOT SO NORMAL

Bio: So a little about me? Well, I've been writing for nearly as long as I've been able to type. Being dyslexic, my first typing class was a godsend (and yes, my dears it was called typing in those days.) And with the encouragement of my family and a determination to give stories to the voices in my head, I've been writing for the past six years.  Initially I started out with erotic romance, BDSM, and menage under another pen name.  All that changed in early 2013, however.  As an avid reader of M/M erotic romance, I finally decided to take the plunge into writing it myself.  But to keep my readers happy, I have  decided to split my work between two identities. Most of my contemporary erotic romance, BDSM and Menage books will still be written under my Dakota Trace pen name, while almost all of my M/M work will appear under N.D. Wylders. 

When I'm not clacking away at the keyboard, I'm riding herd over my three children, great-niece, and nephews. But if I have the  time... you may find me in the kitchen cooking up something delicious, tinkering around on the computer with cover art, or simply devouring the latest M/M romance book on my e-reader.   

But I'm never too busy to talk to my readers, so feel free to hit me up on Facebook, Twitter or even through my website.
