Two Realms of Love romance writers are making this hot summer even hotter. Check out the latest news from Lucynda Storey and Claire Thompson.
Lucynda Storey has released The Collector 7: This Time Forever over at Loose-Id:
When terminally ill Skylar Creighton tries to aid an injured homeless man who's been stabbed, his attacker follows him into her bookstore demanding a green crystal. When the victim shoves a pale green gem into her hands, the mysterious crystal sends her hurtling into the cabin of the Rand Edward Jamison's Red Sky, a pirate ship. The captain—she knows and loves from the yellowed pages of his own journals.
When Rand hears a noise in his cabin, his senses go on full alert. Finding an interloper, he's sure his enemy, Owain Cutler, has found an assassin. What Rand doesn't expect to find is his deceased wife Emma's reincarnation. When this stranger unleashes her tongue with her sarcastic retorts he's confused. Is she or isn't she Emma? And what is all this nonsense about traveling through time from the future?
Skylar's been fantasizing about Rand for years, and Rand's convinced she's his dead wife returned to him. Between her new love giving her a determination to live and his old one giving him the determination to save her life, she's shortly begging he ravage her like the pirate that he is. But then Cutler steals the sistrum, and he's after Emma - or is it Skylar? He enlists the aid of a Hudu woman to send her own to her own time, because he will not lose her again.
Now all Rand has to do is find a way to get to Skylar and keep Cutler from killing her in a future three hundred years away.
Lucynda's latest hot erotic romance novel got a great review from JERR:
What a wonderful story! This Time Forever is the seventh in The Collector
series and can be read as a standalone. Ms. Storey created a beautiful love
story with characters that had nothing to lose and everything to gain. The
plot and characters described were very real. I could almost imagine myself
going back in time with Skylar. I loved Sklyar’s spirit, she wasn’t going to
allow doctors to experiment on her when she knew she didn’t have much longer
to live. She wants to embrace life just once more. Rand’s character, while
lacking in history, was larger than life. Rand was everything that I
imagined a pirate to be. Seeing him through Skylar’s eyes was a real treat
as we are able to see all of his flaws. The sex between them was beautiful,
hot enough to grab your partner for a session. The twists and turns of this
story flowed smoothly with no visible bumps. The secondary characters had
necessary parts. I was kept guessing on the fate of Rand and Skylar until
the very end and I can’t wait to read more from Ms. Storey and The Collector
series.
Claire Thompson's Masked Submission was just released at Ellora's Cave.
When Dylan Reese first saw the sexy masked Dom at the club he felt the connection between them ignite in a flame he knew he could never quench. In a blindingly intense exchange of sensual power Dylan gave his body and his heart to a man hidden behind a mask-a man he could never truly know.
Jack Marchand was smitten the moment he laid eyes on the handsome green-eyed PhD candidate. As their friendship blossomed, so did their trust-freeing Dylan to confess to Jack his submissive orientation, while Jack admitted his naturally dominant impulses. Jack found himself falling in love with a man whose heart was ensnared by a fantasy. Yet Dylan was unable to break free of the dark erotic control of his masked lover, even if it meant destroying the fledgling love he felt for Jack. Jack had his own secrets, secrets that once revealed could destroy his chance of love with the one man who had already stolen his heart.
Here's what Novel Spot had to say about another of Claire's novels:
Claire Thompson's writing manages to present a real world feel, with the sense of actual breathing people rather than characters. And these people don't have static lives, but instead grow and learn and interact, sometimes in surprising ways in a journey of self-discovery. As for the sex, it is always caught alive in the moment, as tentative, passionate and edgy as the real thing. Ms. Thompson is as wise and careful a spokesperson for BDSM who as ever walked the earth.
Congratulations to Claire and Lucynda!
