Dangerous Alpha Heroes Giveaway Hop

Posted on 17th September 2012 by Felicity Heaton

It’s time for the Dangerous Alpha Heroes Giveaway Hop hosted by Full Moon Bites. The hop runs from September 17th until September 24th, and my giveaway is international.

We’re talking all about alpha heroes for this hop, so I thought I would offer a book from my Vampires Realm series, which is full of sexy vampire and werewolf alphas, and a book featuring a sexy demon alpha! Here is more information on the two books that you might win.

 

Masquerade
F E Heaton
Ten years have passed since Sophis and Vivek, two vampires of the Venia bloodline, came close to death at the hands of twin hunters Aleksis and Izabella Romanov. The events of that night turned Sophis and Vivek against each other, shattering their close friendship and driving them apart.

Now, on the eve of a centenary Creator Day masquerade and at a time when things between them are dangerously close to separating them forever, they uncover a small army of vampire hunters in Saint Petersburg, led by their nemeses, Aleksis and Izabella.

With the safety of the rulers of the seven pure vampire bloodlines in their hands and their chance for vengeance hanging in the balance, can Sophis and Vivek face their past and overcome their differences? Will they realise their true feelings for each other before it’s too late or will the hunters finally claim their lives as their deadly plot to destroy the bloodlines unfolds?

Ascension
Felicity Heaton
A witch on the verge of achieving phenomenal power, Lealandra must turn to her half-breed demon ex-lover Taig for protection from the dark force that is after her and also from her own magic.

With her Counter-Balance dead and her coven against her, Taig’s blood and power is the only thing that can help her control her magic and survive the ascension and gain the strength to defeat her enemy.

Old feelings come flooding back as Taig allows her into his world and Lealandra finds herself fighting not only for survival but to win his broken heart again and heal the pain in their past. Can he forgive her for walking out on him all those years ago and will he ever believe her when she tells him that he’s not a monster but the man that she loves?

18 and Over Giveaway Hop

Posted on 13th September 2012 by Felicity Heaton

It’s time for the 18 and Over Giveaway Hop hosted by Bitten by Paranormal Romance and Gabrielle Bisset. The hop runs from September 13th until September 16th, and my giveaway is international.

Since we’re talking about a sexy book hop, I thought I would share an excerpt from one of the books in the series that I’m offering as prizes. This one isn’t included in the prizes.

 

Enslave
Felicity Heaton
His determination to succeed in business has left no room in his life for love. Now, a beautiful and deadly succubus has teleported into his dark, decadent world and is in danger of enslaving his heart.

Andreu’s future entails opening an erotic theatre like Vampirerotique, gaining wealth, women and power, not shackling himself to a single female, but he cannot deny the dangerously seductive succubus who stirs his anger and passion, and tempts him like no other—he will have her.

The moment their eyes meet, Varya knows she cannot have the exotic dark vampire who sets her pulse racing. His shadowed aura marks him as forbidden, but the hungers he awakens in her are too intense to resist—she must have a taste.

When an erotically-charged kiss ignites their soul-searing passion and reveals something dangerous about Andreu, will Varya leave forever or will she dare to risk all in pursuit of something she thought was beyond her reach?

Available from Amazon Kindle, Apple iBooks, Kobo Books, Barnes and Noble Nook, and more. Find all the links at: http://www.felicityheaton.com/ebooks.php?title=Enslave

 

Sexy Snippet

The beast prowled past her, flicking a glance in her direction, and she ducked behind a wall at the bottom of the stairs, pressing herself flat against it and holding her breath.

“I know you’re here,” he snarled, voice thick and dark, laced with venom. Her heart did a fluttering flip in her chest and her legs trembled in a bad way. “When I find you, I will kill you… slowly.”

The grim note of amusement in his final word said he would come good on that threat and he would enjoy it too. Varya swallowed. She had no desire to become this man’s ragdoll. He didn’t need to threaten her aloud for her to know that her demise at his hands would indeed be bloody, painful, and nothing short of Hell.

It would make Hell look like Heaven.

He growled and stalked closer.

A door opened and closed.

Her senses popped and the hairs on the back of her neck prickled, sending a shiver dancing down her spine.

“Found anything?” That deep masculine voice was pure honey, accented in a way that was ambrosia to her ears and had her melting against the wall.

Gods. He sounded more delicious than she could ever have prepared herself for. She closed her eyes and willed him to speak again.

“Nothing,” the beast growled and huffed, snorting like a wild dragon. “I will find it, and rip it limb from limb.”

“Antoine wants it alive, whatever it is. We’re not allowed to kill it, Snow.”

It? That stung. He had set eyes on her, had clearly felt the same intense jolt that had rocked her, yet he was calling her an ‘it’.

She had half a mind to step out from her hiding place and confront him, but her self-preservation instincts ran too deeply for her to ignore them and do anything so foolish. She pressed the back of her head against the wall.

“It is in here somewhere.” The one called Snow moved again and she tracked him with her senses, fearing he would find her. Snow. A strange name for one so impure and evil.

“I have this. Check in with Payne and Javier. Tell them we know where it is. Payne said he knew a way of flushing it out.”

Oh, Hell, he wouldn’t. If Payne was the bastard she thought he was, she wasn’t going to wait for him to show up. Snow grunted and the door opened and closed again.

“I know you’re in here, so you might as well just show yourself, whatever you are. You understand, Chica?” Her vampire’s sexy voice rumbled through her, making her shivery and hazy, and his words took a few seconds to register.

She did understand. He wanted her out in the open and visible to him so he could go ahead and take her into custody for the one he had called Antoine.

She wouldn’t let him take her in, refused to let anyone capture and enslave her, but she did want to see him again, and with Snow gone to fetch the bastard and the one she suspected was this man’s brother, she only had a limited window in which to do that, get her taste, and get out.

Varya stepped out from behind the wall.

The vampire stood in the middle of the double-height black-walled room, his deep blue eyes scanning the area around him. He was searching for her still. She let her glamour slip just enough that she would grow stronger on his acute senses but not enough that he would see her.

His gaze shot straight to her.

Interesting.

He had found a way to pinpoint her. Is that what he had been doing when he had stared at her for those long minutes after she had made herself invisible in the private box? Putting her to memory and training his senses to make them accustomed to her so she couldn’t hide from him.

Devious son of a bitch.

His aura darkened even as his eyes brightened, his pupils enlarging to show a trace of desire.

“Reveal yourself.” Those words rolled off his tongue in a sultry bass voice created by the gods for setting women’s hearts aflame.

His aura showed no sign of the conceit that the male performer backstage had worn. This vampire was far more handsome, worthy of a little male pride in his aura, but it remained black and unreadable.

Varya lifted her glamour and shimmered into being just two metres in front of him. Out of arm’s reach. If he tried to lunge for her, she would disappear in a flash. She wasn’t sure where in the theatre she would end up, but any place was better than locked in the grasp of a man who wanted to hand her over to his master.

His pupils widened, edging further into the deep sea blue of his irises, and his nostrils flared.

“What are you?” he said and exhaled a soft curse when their eyes met.

That same blood-heating jolt she had felt on first locking gazes with him rocked her again and she had to take a step backwards to steady herself. Her hunger came upon her so swiftly that it almost knocked her flat on her backside and it must have shown in her eyes because the vampire changed. His irises burned as red as the flames of Hell and his pupils narrowed and stretched, becoming cat-like.

He snarled, sensual lips peeling back off enormous fangs.

A flicker of red punctured the black of his aura.

Passion?

Varya stood her ground, legs trembling and belly heating with desire in the face of the explosive combination of his anger and arousal. She didn’t understand why she couldn’t read his aura or what it meant, and she didn’t care.

She wanted a taste.

Before he could launch an attack on her, she teleported herself right into the danger zone, not settling for even a few inches between them. Her body pressed into the delicious hard contours of his and she looped her arms around his neck, buried her fingers into his thick brown hair and dragged his mouth down to hers.

A white-hot bolt struck her right down to her soul and she gasped.

He echoed it and grabbed her waist hard, pulling her roughly against him as his mouth claimed hers.

Varya’s head spun. She had died and gone to Heaven, a place beyond the reach of all fae. This man was her Heaven.

His mouth mastered hers, forcing her into submission, tongue plundering and leaving her breathless, until she felt as though he was the one feeding on the energy that crackled between them, not her. Her hands slipped to his strong shoulders, feeling the hard muscles beneath his soft black clothing, and she frowned, the taste of him so divine that she didn’t want to give him up. There was no reason this man should be forbidden. Gods. Every one of her clan should be searching for their own shadowed male.

She could live forever on the taste of him.

He turned and shot across the room with her, slamming her violently against the wall, his body delicious steel against hers as he pinned her. Varya leapt up and wrapped her legs around his waist, hooking her feet together and dragging him closer to her, until not a single molecule of air existed between their bodies. He snarled into her mouth and ran his hands up her calves, past her over-knee stockings, and teasingly light along the underside of her thighs. His palms grazed her buttocks beneath her skirt, sending a hot shiver bolting over her skin, and then he clutched her backside, squeezing it as he kissed her. The feel of his strong hands palming her bottom, fingertips pressing in so hard she was sure he would bruise her, increased the inferno raging out of control inside her. She let slip a moan of pure pleasure, unable to hold it in. This man had been made for her. The way he dominated her, his passion and roughness, not to mention how damned hot he looked, everything about him called to her, excited her, and she was powerless to resist.

Varya melted into him and turned up the heat at the same time, matching his ferocity stroke for stroke as her tongue duelled with his and she raked her nails over his scalp. He snarled into her mouth, a hungry feral sound that sent another shiver of pleasure skating over her skin, and rocked his hips into hers. Oh my. Her heart fluttered and heat pooled in her panties. The feel of the hard hot length pressing divinely against the apex of her thighs had her writhing in his arms, mimicking his rocking and meeting him grind for thrust. He groaned and tightened his grip on her, holding her hips immobile, and pressed his hard cock against her. His breathing came out in rough ragged gasps between kisses. Not just his breathing. She panted too, breathless, but she couldn’t stop. Did he feel as desperate as she did, as though this kiss was as vital as air? No. More vital. She felt as though she would die if he stopped. It was intoxicating, drugging, addicting, and incredible. Lost in the fathomless depths of the passion that blazed between them, pleasure so consuming that she swore she had never experienced anything like it before, Varya couldn’t stop herself from stealing some of his intense energy through their kiss.

He turned with a snarl and shoved her off him so viciously that she flew across the expansive room, smacked into the wall near the staircase and crashed to her backside on the floor.

Shock rushed through her, cold, fierce and startling.

What the hell? No man could withstand her kiss. He should be putty in her hands, hands that wanted to touch every delicious inch of him, not standing there pinning her with a thunderous look that warned if she came near him again he would forget what his master had ordered and would kill her instead.

Varya stared at him in silence, her chest heaving in time with his, struggling to catch her breath and make sense of what had just happened. The vampire’s red eyes and black aura gave nothing away, concealing whatever he was feeling as he glared at her, his hands fisted at his sides.

Were they fisted because he wanted to strike her?

Or because he was resisting touching her again?

“Andreu.” The door burst open and the blond bastard entered, jogging to a halt beside her vampire. He turned cold slate-grey eyes on her.

Varya hissed at him and disappeared.

Wind buffeted her as she set down on the rooftop of a building across from the theatre, breathing hard and still reeling. She wrapped her arms around herself, rubbing her bare skin to keep the sudden chill off it. The warmly lit sandstone building of the theatre shone like a beacon in the darkness, the six columns of the facade supporting a triangular carved frieze that lent it a very elegant air. Varya focused beyond the walls even though she knew her senses wouldn’t be able to locate her vampire.

Andreu.

There was no way he should have been able to resist her like that.

There was something different about this vampire.

She wanted to know what it was.

She wanted to know why he was forbidden.

Posted on 30th August 2012 by Felicity Heaton

Welcome to the Romancing the Hop Blog Hop!

This fantastic giveaway hop is run by Carrie Ann Ryan and is open from August 31st to September 3rd 2012. My giveaway is international and the details are below, after my introduction.

You all know that I love to write romances with sexy alpha heroes and strong heroines who go out there and get their man.

Here’s a tasty teaser of the paranormal romance books on offer in this giveaway hop!

Her Angel
(Her Angel Romance Series Books 1-3)

Felicity Heaton

In our world, there exists another, where angels battle demons to protect mankind. These beautiful men with passionate hearts watch over us, steadfast and strong, loyal to their duty and Heaven, but for three heroes that loyalty is about to be tested by the most powerful force in nature—love.

In Her Dark Angel, Apollyon finally escapes his duty in Hell only to discover that the voice that commanded him to come to Earth wasn’t that of his master, but that of a beautiful woman who has always captivated him. Serenity is shocked when a gorgeous black-winged angel shows up in her city of Paris claiming that she called him when she was only casting a simple vengeance spell. He’s no other than the angel of death! When Apollyon offers to obey her and help her have revenge on her cheating ex-boyfriend, she can’t resist the temptation, but can she resist him? Can an angel as dark as Apollyon ever fall for a mortal woman like her?

In Her Fallen Angel, Annelie fell for Lukas the moment he walked into her pub three years ago. He’s gorgeous and he’s seriously out of her league, but when he tells her that she’s beautiful and confesses that he wants her, she can’t resist him and his passionate kiss. She unleashes her desire and seizes the moment and Lukas with both hands. But Lukas has a secret, one that will test Annelie’s love for him and threaten to tear them apart. He’s a fallen angel. Can she help him prove he didn’t commit a terrible crime? Is she brave enough to love an angel?

In Her Warrior Angel, Einar is one of Heaven’s best hunters and he’s on a mission to uncover why an angel was working with demons. When he finds the first demon fighting a beautiful woman named Taylor, he intervenes and saves her. Taylor has spent her whole life protecting London from the lowest demons but working with Einar is her biggest challenge yet. She wants him but she can’t let herself fall for him. The reason why is simple. She’s half demon. He’s an angel. Love between their species is forbidden, but resisting their desire is impossible. Can a love so forbidden ever have a happy ending or are they destined to break each other’s hearts?

Her Guardian Angel
(Her Angel Romance Series Book 4)
Felicity Heaton
A simple mission becomes a fight for survival in this fantastic instalment in the Her Angel series.

A guardian angel dedicated to his duty, Marcus will do whatever Heaven
asks of him, but even his loyalty has its limits. When his superior
orders him to gain Amelia’s trust through seduction, Marcus starts to
question his mission and his feelings for the beautiful woman he has
watched over since her birth.

Amelia has gone from one bad relationship to another, so when a
gorgeous guy moves in next door looking like Mr Right, she hopes he
doesn’t turn out to be another black knight in disguise. But there’s
more to Marcus than meets the eye, and when he rescues her from three
demonic men, Amelia is thrust into his nightmarish world—a world where
God and the Devil exist, and only one angel can save her from
death—Marcus, the angel she’s falling in love with.

On the run from demonic angels and the Devil himself, aided by Marcus’s
angel friends and their amazing women, fighting for survival against
the odds, Marcus and Amelia discover a love that will last forever.

A love so strong it will shake Heaven and Hell.

Hot Summer Nights Giveaway Hop – win signed paperbacks and book goodies!

Posted on 17th July 2012 by Felicity Heaton

Welcome to the Hot Summer Nights Giveaway Hop!

It’s run by Bona Fide Reflections and The Book Nympho and is open between July 18th and July 22nd 2012. My giveaway is international and the details are below, after my introduction.

You all know that I love to write hot books and even hotter heroes that will make any night sizzle! Well, here’s your chance to win some of my sexy paranormal romances in paperbacks.

Here’s a tasty teaser of the books on offer in this giveaway hop!

Covet and Crave
Felicity Heaton
Enter the dark, sinful and seductive world of the vampire owners of London’s premier vampire erotic theatre, Vampirerotique, and discover how these powerful vampires are brought to their knees by the women who claim their hearts.

The first two novellas in the fantastic Vampire Erotic Theatre series in one book.

In Covet, they’ve burned for each other for two years, the forbidden attraction between them growing each night. Now resisting the sinful desires of their hearts is becoming impossible.

Javier knows better than to succumb to his hunger for Lilah. The mortal female belongs to a powerful aristocrat patron of Vampirerotique. A single touch is all it would take to break the sacred law of his kind, sentencing himself to death, but his passion for her has become too fierce to ignore and he will risk everything to make Lilah his.

In Crave, his mind has been set on his work for the past one hundred years. Now a forbidden beauty has stolen his attention and is threatening to steal his heart too.

Callum has come to the city of romance on business, not pleasure, but when he sets eyes on a gorgeous werewolf in a nightclub, he can’t ignore the dark carnal craving she ignites in him. His work for Vampirerotique can wait. The only thing that matters now is satisfying his sinful hunger for a woman who most vampires would consider an enemy.

Ascension
Felicity Heaton
A witch on the verge of achieving phenomenal power, Lealandra must turn to her half-breed demon ex-lover Taig for protection from the dark force that is after her and also from her own magic.

With her Counter-Balance dead and her coven against her, Taig’s blood and power is the only thing that can help her control her magic and survive the ascension and gain the strength to defeat her enemy.

Old feelings come flooding back as Taig allows her into his world and Lealandra finds herself fighting not only for survival but to win his broken heart again and heal the pain in their past. Can he forgive her for walking out on him all those years ago and will he ever believe her when she tells him that he’s not a monster but the man that she loves?

PRIZES

  1. 1 x Signed paperback copy of Covet and Crave by Felicity Heaton, plus book goodies including signed cover postcards, bookmarks, romance trading cards, black rubber VET series wristband, and pen.

Indie-Pendence Week Giveaway Hop!

Posted on 1st July 2012 by Felicity Heaton

Welcome to the Indie-Pendence Week Giveaway Hop!

The Indie-Pendence Week hop celebrates indie’s in all forms, including indie authors like myself. It’s run by Grave Tells in association with Buffy Kennedy and Kari Pinasco and is open between July 2nd and July 6th 2012. My giveaway is international and the details are below, after my introduction.

Any readers of mine already know my story, but since there may be some new faces among my visitors during this hop, I thought I would take this opportunity to give some background about myself.

I have always loved everything paranormal, from vampires and werewolves to demons and witches, ever since I was a young child. When I reached my teens, I began to read classic romance novels and developed a love for the fairytale they swept me up in. Several years on from that, I’m writing my own fairytales, complete with the all important happily forever after.

I started writing romance stories ago in 2003, and in 2005 I became e-published with three novels, two of which were historical romances and the remaining one was a romantic suspense. In 2006, I decided to break away from e-published to pursue self-publishing. Myself and a fellow author had both done well as e-published, and had both received good reviews for our stories, but we also felt as though we could do just as well, if not better, if we struck out on our own. It was great to have another author feel the same way as me. Being e-published was good but it wasn’t quite what I wanted. I wanted to get closer to the process, and having experienced being e-published, I knew that I could do everything it took to be a good indie author.


I knew that I could get my book edited, make a cover for it (I was already making my own covers when with the e-publisher), and write the blurb just as good as the e-publisher could. I could market my story, get it reviewed, and build my following by running my own Yahoo!group and newsletter. For me, the switch to self-publishing was about retaining control of my story and how I market them. I no longer have to struggle with a publisher sending it to review sites that really aren’t suitable for my book (my e-publisher insisted on sending my stories to erotic romance review sites even though those books weren’t in that genre). I get to do everything from first draft to formatting for various websites, from buying ad space to sending it out for review, and even arranging interviews and guest blogging.

Of course, back in 2006, being an indie author wasn’t as easy as it is today. Distribution was difficult, e-books weren’t selling like hotcakes, and review sites were sceptical about anything that was e-published let alone self-published. A few other authors we knew also wanted to go independent so we grouped together to form a self-publishing cooperative, determined to show the world that a self-published book could be just as good as an e-published one. We set up a website, got ourselves distributed on Fictionwise, which was the only place to be back then when Amazon Kindle and other major e-book outlets didn’t exist, and started promoting.

The effort I put into it was probably a little more than I had done when I had been with the e-publisher, but the difference in book sales was incredible (bearing in mind that back then, if you sold 500 copies of a book within the first 6 months, it was amazing!). It really made it hit home that I didn’t need a publisher in order to sell books. I got great reviews for my self-published stories, even better than I’d had for my e-published ones.

I felt happier as an indie author than I ever had as an e-published one. I started writing paranormal romance, a genre close to my heart and one I had started out in before switching to historical, and even wrote some science-fiction romances, another genre that I have always loved. When I released my first paranormal romance, which was also the first story in my Vampires Realm series, Prophecy: Child of Light, I felt as though I had finally found myself as an author. I was so excited about the series and writing paranormal romances, and readers really responded to that. It was amazing to connect with them about the book. Speaking with readers is what I love most about writing, whether it’s the book doing the talking as they read it, or them communicating with me through email.

I love connecting with readers and the advent of social network has really allowed me to do more of that. It’s exciting to receive emails from them, to converse with them about current stories and upcoming ones, and chat in general. That was what I had wanted from the start of my writing career, and I’m still like a kid in a sweet shop whenever I talk with readers and reviewers now.

My audience grew with each book, and I’m lucky enough to have a large group of loyal readers who have loved my stories and who email me to ask for more.

Self-publishing to me wasn’t about making more money. It was about learning how to do it all myself and then putting everything I had learned into action. It was about reaching readers on a more personal level and I like to think that I’ve achieved that.

When self-publishing really took off back in 2009 (2010 for me as I couldn’t self-publish on Amazon and places before then, being in the UK) I was actually looking at quitting being indie and trying for a book contract with a major publisher. I had even set out in search of an agent with one of my books. I’m glad that I remained indie, but it doesn’t mean I’m not gunning for an agent and that publishing contract with future novels.

I’m very fortunate that my hard work and perseverance has paid off. In July 2010, I sold around 2000 ebooks in one month on Amazon. It was exciting because I could almost afford to live on the royalties I received. I decided in November to quit my job, but had to wait out a 3 month notice period. By the time I left my job in February 2011, I was selling close to 10000 books a month on Kindle alone. I went on to sell 155000 books in 2011 (not including free books), and I’ve just this month passed 100000 books sold in 2012 (and I’ve given away 123000 too). It’s fantastic to see the results of the years of hard work I put into my dreams of being an author and being able to connect with that many readers, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for me.

So, to say thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my career, I’m giving away the following during this hop.

It’s time for a new blog hop and this time I’m participating in the fantastic Sinful Sirens Giveaway Hop hosted by Under the Covers and Guilty Pleasures.

Masquerade
F E Heaton
Ten years have passed since Sophis and Vivek, two vampires of the Venia bloodline, came close to death at the hands of twin hunters Aleksis and Izabella Romanov. The events of that night turned Sophis and Vivek against each other, shattering their close friendship and driving them apart.

Now, on the eve of a centenary Creator Day masquerade and at a time when things between them are dangerously close to separating them forever, they uncover a small army of vampire hunters in Saint Petersburg, led by their nemeses, Aleksis and Izabella.

With the safety of the rulers of the seven pure vampire bloodlines in their hands and their chance for vengeance hanging in the balance, can Sophis and Vivek face their past and overcome their differences? Will they realise their true feelings for each other before it’s too late or will the hunters finally claim their lives as their deadly plot to destroy the bloodlines unfolds?
