Guest Post: Extended Excerpt from Unleashed by Felicity Heaton

Extended Excerpt from Unleashed by Felicity Heaton

It’s wonderful to be here to introduce my new release, Unleash, the sixth book in my Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series, to you all. I’m going to share an excerpt from the vampire romance novel today, but also mention that you can get the first book in this series, Covet, for FREE at selected Amazon Kindle, Kobo Books and Apple iBooks Stores!

Now it’s onto the main attraction…

Unleash (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series Book 6)
 
A powerful vampire lost deep in his bloodlust, Snow is a savage animal, mindless with rage and a thirst for violence, and trapped with no hope of awakening from an endless nightmare...until a song draws him up from the abyss, restoring his sanity but leaving him haunted by the sweet feminine scent of lilies and snow, and fragmented familiar lyrics.
When the mysterious and beautiful songstress reappears in Snow’s room at Vampirerotique, she awakens a fierce protective streak and stirs dark desires that drive him to claim her as his female, even when he knows his touch will destroy her innocence. A single forbidden taste is all it takes to unleash emotions in Aurora that she shouldn’t possess, tearing her between duty and desire, and luring her into surrendering to her wildfire passion and embracing hungers that burn so hotly they threaten to consume them both. One act of kindness can lead to one thousand acts of sin though, each a black mark against the bearer’s soul and another grain of sand that slips through an hourglass. The clock is ticking and time is almost up. Can beauty save the beast?

Unleash – Excerpt

Snow ducked his head under the hot spray of water and closed his eyes as it soaked through his hair, washing away the shampoo.

He braced his hands against the black tiles in front of him in the double-width shower stall and hung his head forwards, letting the water hit his nape and cascade over his back. The heat soothed the last remnants of tightness from his muscles.

Review of Bound by the Night (Bound #4)

Bound by the Night (Bound #4)
by Cynthia Eden
4 of 5 Stars

Description:
For the last fifteen years, vampire queen Iona has been dead to the world. Trapped under the power of a brutal curse, she has been helpless. A prisoner, locked within her own still body. Then alpha werewolf Jamie O’Connell fights his way to her side. After defeating the guards that surround her, Jamie gives Iona his blood…and she rises.

The world has changed a great deal in the last fifteen years, and Iona has changed, too. Once known as the Blood Queen because of her dark reputation, she now finds herself longing for the blood of only one man…only he isn’t just a man. She wants the blood of her werewolf—Jamie’s blood. But Iona doesn’t realize that Jamie has been keeping secrets from her. Very dark, dangerous secrets. And Iona may have traded one curse for another.

Now that he has Iona, Jamie vows to never let her go. He needs his Blood Queen in order to defeat his enemy, he needs her to make his own beast stronger, and…he just needs her. Jamie has risked his life to claim Iona, and he won’t let anything break their bond. Not time. Not spells. Not even a wild and reckless vampire queen…

Review:

 I must say, I really enjoy reading books that that feature a kick a** heroine who isn't afraid to tell it like it is and get her hands bloody.

Bound in Sin (Bound #3)
by Cynthia Eden
4.5 of 5 Stars

Description:
What’s the price of sin?
Human Paige Sloan once loved werewolf Drake Wyler more than life, but then that life was taken away from her. Attacked by vampires, Paige was bitten, and, on a cold, dark night, the life she’d known ended. She was reborn as a vampire—a werewolf’s deadliest enemy.
Paige ran from the vampires who attacked her, and she ran away from her lover. She didn’t want Drake to know what she’d become, and she didn’t want to face the fury of his pack. But a girl can only run for so long until the past catches up with her.
Some sins mark your soul.
When Paige learns that Drake is being targeted for death, she knows that she can’t hide in the shadows any longer. She has to return to him, and she will do anything—anything—in order to make sure that he keeps living. The vampires might have destroyed her chance to live and love Drake, but they won’t take him. Not over her undead body. She’ll slay them all…and maybe, just maybe…she’ll even have the chance to sin—one more time--with the werewolf who’d marked her as his mate.
Some sins are worth dying for…

Review:

Bound in Sin is another great novella in the Bound series.

Night Owl Reviews - Caressed by a Crimson Moon

Caressed by a Crimson Moon has been reviewed on Night Owl Reviews and has earned their Top Review award - 4.5 Stars of 5!

"Ms. Greene did good job of creating a hero and heroine that captured my attention and held me captive with intrigue throughout the story. I loved how head strong Eva came across and how she was not afraid to stand up for what she wanted. Literally. She had some pretty scary moments with Hadrian’s demon where if she’d backed away her ending would have been bloody. Needless to say the excitement and steamy romance went hand in hand in this paranormal romance."

Teaser Tuesday: Caressed by Shadows (Rulers of Darkness #4)

 Teaser Tuesdays is a bookish meme hosted by Should Be Reading.

I  would like to share a clip from my upcoming release, Caressed by Shadows  
(Rulers of Darkness #4).

 

~Falcon took her hand, lacing their fingers. Heat shot through her body, chasing away the chill of the night and the biting cold of the rain.

“Perfect, our ride is on time.”

He tugged her forward. Sonya did her best to ignore the sharp pain that spread through her shoulder and down her back as Falcon led her forward.

Extended Excerpt: Caressed by Night

Purchase

Hey everyone,
I was over at Felicity Heaton's Blog yesterday and shared an extended excerpt from Caressed by Night (Rulers of Darkness #2). The hero and heroine meet after he saves her from her attackers in a dark alley in Las Vegas. Click HERE to read.

Caressed by Night (Rulers of Darkness #2)

Dimitri Arsov, the last remaining pure vampire, was thought to be dead for the past four hundreds years. Now, he is back and has a score to settle with the traitor that had tried to kill him centuries ago. But as he waits for his prey to blindly step into his carefully laid trap, his overwhelming hunger for blood is triggered when he saves a beautiful art historian.

Kerstyn Ingmar’s life was normal and straight up boring until the night she is rescued by the dangerously sexy, powerfully mesmerizing, Dimitri. Unable to resist his diamond blue eyes and intense kisses, she is drawn into his world of darkness and closer to her impending doom.

While their desire consumes them, Dimitri is haunted by images of a bloody and deadly future. As his enemies draw near, he must find a way to save his mate from her destiny before fate destroys them both.

Review of California Caress

California Caress 
by Rebecca Sinclair
3 of 5 Stars

Description:
Hope Bennett was determined to save her brother's life. And if that meant paying notorious gunslinger Drake Frazier to take his place in a fight, she'd barter her last gold nugget. But Hope soon discovered she'd have to give the handsome rattlesnake more than riches if she wanted his help. His improper demands infuriated her; even as she luxuriated in the tantalizing heat of his embrace, she refused to yield to her desires. She'd accept his terms, then find a way to escape him... somehow... 
(From Goodreads) 

 Review:

I haven't read a western in so long and I was excited when I picked this one up. I have to admit, the cover got me.

Bound in Darkness (Bound #2)
by Cynthia Eden
4 of 5 Stars

Description:
Hunter...
When it comes to killing vampires, werewolf Cade Thain is the best slayer in the Northwest. So when a witch hires him to take out a pureblood vamp, the assassin thinks it will be just business as usual. One less vicious vamp on the streets... one more undead parasite gone from the earth. Then he meets her.
Protector...
Allison Gray isn't the prey that Cade expects. Beautiful, innocent, she stirs a dark desire within him. Allison hasn't transformed fully into a vampire, not yet, and it's Cade's job to make sure that she never does. Allison thinks that he's at her side to keep her safe, but Cade is supposed to pick the right moment --and kill her.
Lover...
Killing Allison is soon the last thing that Cade plans. As she begins the transformation that will turn her into a vampire, her bloodlust and their desire merge in an explosion of need that neither can control. But Allison's enemies are closing in, and the coming battle will take Cade and Allison beyond life, beyond love... and into a deadly darkness that waits to claim them both.
Bound in Darkness.

Review:

Cade, a werewolf and an assassin, is hired by a witch to kill a pureblood vampire. In this series werewolves and vampires are natural enemies, but Cade really hates vampires - with good reason. So, elminating one more bloodsucker is just another day's work. Until he meets his mark.
