Book Spotlight on Shade Addiction by Lea Bronsen #DarkRomance #EroticRomance

  Ex-boxer Mike Logan struggles to put a brutal past behind and make ends meet as a bus driver. When a young runaway settles for an all-night ride, he seizes the chance to do a good deed—get her home safely. But first, they’ll drive around and talk. What he doesn’t anticipate is that this broken night angel is also a sexy little minx needing a lot more…and not just the gentle kind. **This is an expanded edition of the story previously featured in the anthology Passion, Pleasure, Pain in 2019** #Dark #Erotic #Romance

Excerpt

She gives me a long, languorous look. I think I know what it means: She’s interested by my wild side. Dark attracts dark. She believes she’s found the same kind of fallen angel as she is, a soul mate. Wrong, kiddo. What you need is someone good, not broken like me. She reaches over the table to pat my chest. “So hard. Jesus. You definitely work out.” Her touch sends electric sparks to my groin. My cock pulses. I push her hand away. “Don’t do that.” “Why?” “It’s inappropriate.” “Why?” I sigh. “I’m thirty-two, you’re what?” “Nineteen.” “Nineteen, that’s very young. I could easily be accused of taking advantage of you. Did you see how the waitress treated me?” She crosses her arms underneath her boobs. “But I’m an adult, and I have boyfriends.” “You have boyfriends.” “Yeah.” “Like, many?” “Yeah.” She holds my gaze. I don’t know why I had to make a deal of that. She continues, “So, it’s not like I’d let anybody touch me if I didn’t want them to.” “Well, I don’t want you to touch me. Let’s go.”

Weekend Writing Warrior from Spread (Lust, Love and Darkness) #BDSM #DarkRomance

Hi everyone! Happiest and healthiest Sunday to all. I've been missing out on Weekend Writing Warriors not only due to the stress of the situation but also because if you guys recall my computer was giving me a lot of problems, so doing more than the minimum on it was taking eons. Luckily, I have a great sister who lent me the money to buy a new laptop, so I'm back!

Today, I'm sharing a snippet from Spread (Lust, Love and Darkness) which is nominated for book of the month at The TBR Pile (any votes much appreciated). I've been working on book 3 and I hope to have it finished soon. Madrid is on lockdown, but I'm working from home which is eating up a lot of my free time.

Stay safe and enjoy reading!

Hands trembling, she put on her headphones and opened the music app on her phone. The loud rock riffs surrounded her, obliterating every sound from the exterior but still incapable of shutting down the turmoil in her brain. She grabbed a handful of cereal and stuffed it into her mouth. The crunch mingled with the melody, but still she couldn’t keep him at bay.  Antonio.  His name flashed in her subconscious. Loud. Bold. Present when he should be gone. Her stomach clenched, and she belched, acid bile rising to the back of her throat.  “Fuck.” She knew this would happen.

Four days.

That’s the amount of time Betty has to hang on to her sanity. The time she needs until another of Antonio’s deathversaries rolls by. Four more days before the nightmares subside and the memories return to the past.

The problem is life around her doesn’t stop, and when she meets Rayden, long forgotten passion sparks to life. But can she move on with Antonio’s ghost looming over her?

Rayden hasn’t forgotten. Nor has he ever forgiven himself. When Betty comes into his tattoo parlor, he realizes who she is and even at the cost of his libido, he is determined to help her follow her dreams.

Time ticks fast and as their desire grows insatiably and the anniversary of Antonio’s death creeps closer, pleasure and pain blend into one.

Rayden doesn’t want to hurt her. But can he keep her from harming herself?

Simply hold it ~ #WeekendWritingWarriors on Open (Lust, love, Darkness) #BDSM #DarkRomance

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Apologies for the last two weeks because I dropped out of the map. June has been a bit crazy, between getting sick, work and desperately trying to finish a story before I go on holiday (tomorrow yay!).

 I won't be participating in Weekend Writing Warriors during most of July (might make a comeback during the last weekend but TBD). I'll definitely be back in August, though, but for now, I just want to wish everyone a fantastic summer!

Finally, and not least important, today I'm sharing a snippet from Open (Lust, love, Darkness). In this snippet, Marcus is holding a small, pink pouch and asking her to guess what's inside. Can you guess?

I've moved to a different part in the story for today's snippet.

Enjoy! Happy almost July!

XoXo,
Ely

“Nipple clamps, a necklace, nipple weights. I’m not sure.”
“Here, don’t open it. Simply hold it.”
He handed her the pouch. The velvet was soft against her fingertips, and she took an instant to appreciate the texture. Then, the weight of the object within caught her attention. She traced its outline, the shape familiar. Arousal slammed into her. Gabi cleared her throat—and they hadn’t even started.

Fear is a good thing~ Weekend Writing Warriors on Open (Lust, Love and Darkness) #contemporary #romance #BDSM

Happy Sunday, everyone!

First of all, I'd like to thank anyone who's helped me put the word out there that  Open (Lust, love, Darkness) is available. Secondly, thank for leaving comments on Sunday's. I read them all even if I'm slow in responding. To top it off, this week I've been slower than usual as I've been sick/battling allergies/not-sure-what all week, and have been dozing more than usual.

I've moved a bit further ahead in today's snippet and have edited the excerpt to keep to guidelines.
 
Enjoy!

XoXo,
Ely

"You’re hesitating because you’re afraid. A bit of fear is a good thing, it makes you cautious. A lot is a problem, it stops you from living to the fullest.”
“Why would I be afraid? I’ve done things you can’t even imagine.”
Marcus smiled affably, as if he were trying to make a petulant child understand.
“I’m sure you have, but there’s one thing you haven’t done.” Marcus tucked her hair behind her ear, and she gasped, erotic electricity racing across her body. He leaned into her. “You’ve never
been with me, kitten.”

He'd demand more ~ Weekend Writing Warriors on Open (Lust, Love and Darkness) #contemporary #romance #BDSM

Happy Sunday, everyone!



Today I'm happy to share another snippet of  Open (Lust, love, Darkness).  Today I'm giving you a glimpse into Gabi's initial reaction to Marcus. Please remember that this is a BDSM romance, so when she refers to beating she means of the kinky kind. ;-)
 
Enjoy!

XoXo,
Ely

There was something uncompromising about the way he regarded her. Arousing and frightening. She could lose herself to him. The men she chose to engage with wanted only one thing: to beat her and have her feed their egos with fake moans and honorary titles. She enjoyed the pain, but the pleasure only came from her own hand. Marcus would be different. Playing with Marcus wouldn’t just be a spanking, or a flogging. He’d demand more. 
 
A cold wave washed over her, making goosebumps sprout on her arms. Antonio also had had the same uncompromising air.

“And you don’t want me to call you Sir or Master? Do you prefer Daddy?” She ran her fingertips across his forearm making goosebumps sprout on his flesh. Marcus pulled away.

“If the men you’ve been playing with require you call them Sir after barely ten seconds of interaction, you’ve been hanging around the wrong people.”

She shrugged, her gaze dipping then just as quickly meeting his again.

“So, why are we having this conversation, Marcus?”

“I would like to play with you.”

Gabi quirked an eyebrow. “And you don’t want me to call you ‘Sir’?”

“Not yet.”

Book Spotlight on Gabe's Revenge (McLeod Security) by Doris O'Connor #BDSM #darkromance @evernightpub @mamad8


Thanks so much for having me on your blog with my new Release Gabe’s Revenge. This is book two in my series McLeod Security and a lot darker and longer than the first book. You’ll meet some familiar characters from book one in the series, but don’t worry. There are no spoilers, so the series can be read out of order. :-)  

Gabe and Lissa took me on quite the journey when I was writing their story, so hold on tight, as they find their way to their Happy Ever After.



Blurb:

Revenge is best served cold…

Gabriel Henshaw is nothing but a monster—a ruthless killer—that’s what Lissa Andrini has always been told. Sold to the man by her own father, she fears for her life, yet she can’t help the insane pull she feels to him. It has to be some form of Stockholm syndrome, surely? It couldn’t possibly be the effect of his Dominant nature effortlessly pulling her under his spell and awakening her latent submissive side.

Beating Andrini to a bloody pulp soothes Gabe’s rage temporarily, but that leaves his daughter. Were it not for a promise to her mother, he’d refuse this payment, not least because Lissa Andrini awakens all of his protective and carnal instincts. The perfect counterfoil for his darker needs and desires, she has the power to bring him to his knees.

Can love flourish when you’re a pawn in a dangerous game?

Excerpt:
“Fuck you, Sir.”
The snarky intonation she put on that title, while she yanked her chin up and did her best to stare him down, should have made him do good on his promise to put her over his knee. However, the slight wobble in her bottom lip, coupled with the way every delectable curve of her body was pressed into his frame, meant any such action would be a very bad idea indeed. He wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off of her, and he didn’t want her first time to be angry sex. She deserved better than that.
“Oh, fuck, we will, my dear, but not now and not here.”
Her eyes grew wide, her already fast breaths sped up even more, and Gabe swallowed a groan. He let go of her and stepped back for some much-needed breathing space. As it was his cock was trying his hardest to break out the confines of the denim surrounding it. Gabe couldn’t even remember the last time he wanted a woman this damn much.
“So, you’re going to add rape to your rap sheet. Murdering innocent women wasn’t enough for you?”
A gasp from behind them alerted Gabe to Mavis’s presence, and sure enough when he turned his head it was to see her standing there. Hands pushed into the pockets of her ever-present apron her lips were pressed into a fine line, signaling her disapproval.
“Parkinson is here, Gabe,” she said.
“Thank you, Mavis, I’ll be there in a minute.”
She nodded, glanced at Lissandra and shook her head.
“Tell her the truth, Gabe, all of it. Or this will never work.”
With that, she turned and left them alone on the terrace.
“Oh my God, she knows, doesn’t she? I thought she was nice and I could trust her. Oh, I’m such a fool.”
Lissandra tried to get past him, but he stepped in her way.
“Lissa, don’t.” She pushed against his chest in a vain effort to make him move and then glared up at him.
“Don’t you dare call me that. Only Mama ever called me that. Don’t you fucking dare…” She slammed her hand over her mouth and shook her head. Misery and despair rolled off of her in waves, and Gabe had to fight the urge to take her in his arms. She wouldn’t welcome that move right now, if ever, and now was not the time.
Instead he crossed his arms over his chest, widened his stance, and simply looked at her.
“I’ll call you anything I damn well, please, little girl, and you will lose the attitude. I told you last night, you’re mine now, so you better get used to it. As for Mavis, she is the most loyal person I ever met. Without her, I doubt I would have survived my childhood, so you be nice to her, do you hear me?”
“Or what? You’ll kill me, too?” The mumbled reply grated, and he took several deep breaths to calm himself.
“If I wanted you dead, you’d be six feet under already, girl. After the hit on your father went wrong, I’ve never trusted anyone else to do the killing for me ever again.” He waited for that to sink in, and sure enough her head came up, and she stared wide-eyed, confusion evident on her face.
“I thought… it wasn’t…”
“No, little girl. I’m not such a bastard that I would rob a child of its mother, especially when that mother’s only crime was falling in love and staying with that fucker, Andrini. Besides, I prefer to kill with my hands. Much more satisfying.” He uncrossed his arms and wrapped his hands around her slender throat. Her heartbeat jumped under his palms, and he squeezed just once before he released her. “To feel the life draining out a piece of scum that crossed me … that’s sweet.”
“You’re a monster.” Her whispered reply made him grin.
“Yes, I suppose I am. You better get used to it, little girl, and don’t get any silly ideas of crossing me. You behave and do as you’re told, and we’ll get along just fine.”
She swallowed hard, but gave the tiniest nod, and that would have to do for now.
“Good girl, that wasn’t so hard now, was it?”
“So, you’ll kill me if I don’t behave?”  She mimed quotation marks around that one word and nudged her chin up in a move of defiance that simply served to make him harder. It would be fun to tame all that passion, indeed, and knowing that he would be the first man ever to touch her, to teach her … fuck, what a turn-on that was. Gabe had never cared much about being the first. He wasn’t possessive over the women he fucked. That would mean he cared about them to be anything more than a convenient set of holes to sink his dick into, but this was Lissandra Andrini. His revenge and he was fast beginning to realize his destiny, too. Whether she’d also prove to be his downfall remained to be seen.
“Killing is too easy an out. That’s the only reason Andrini still lives. I want him to suffer, to wallow in his own filth. Death is too good for the likes of him. As for you…” He paused and smiled. “I’ve already told you what I’ll do to you. And once that ass of yours is red raw I will fuck it, so, maybe I’ll kill you after all with the petit mort, at least.”
Her sharp intake of breath almost sounded like a moan, and acting on instinct, he stepped closer, and shoved his hand under her robe to cup her mound. Wet heat greeted his palm, and he smirked, while a blush suffused her pale skin.
“What are you? You can’t … oh…” She tried to clamp her legs together, but one shake of his head stopped her. He forced himself to remove his hand, looked at the glistening evidence of her arousal on his palm and held it up for her to see.
“Protest all you want, Lissa. Hate me if you must, but your body doesn’t lie.” He licked the wetness off his hands and immediately regretted that, as her feminine musk hit his nostrils. Damn, she smelled good.
“I do, I hate you.” Her denial was too breathy to be truly effective, and Gabe laughed.
“No problem, my sweet. You don’t have to like me to enjoy fucking me. Now, go and get dressed, and meet me in the living room in ten minutes. Don’t make me wait, or so help me I drag you out there like this or maybe naked.” He grinned at her simmering outrage. “I’m sure my men would enjoy the view.”
“You wouldn’t dare?”
Gabe threw his head back and laughed.
“Oh, my sweet, never dare the monster.”
