Sunday Snippets from my paranormal romance books

Posted on 5th February 2012 by Felicity Heaton

Look, I’ve made it two Sundays in a row with my Sunday Snippets. Now that I have a schedule for them, I don’t have an excuse for not posting them.

I’m going to share another snippet from my latest erotic vampire romance novella, Covet, the first book in my new Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series, as I’m very into this series at the moment.

Javier’s gaze fell to her mouth.

He wanted to kiss her. His blood burned with the need until it bordered on controlling him but couldnâ€™t bring himself to go through with it. To kiss her would be to violate her. Not the bond with her master, but her purity. Just the thought of her soft mouth on his made him feel like a beast. If he kissed her, he wasnâ€™t sure he could retain control.

â€œWhatâ€™s wrong?â€ she whispered and he heard the hurt in her voice, saw it in her beautiful golden eyes when his leapt to them. Her eyebrows furrowed and she touched his cheek, fingertips burning his flesh, the scent of her blood filling his senses. His fangs dropped, pressing against his lips. He saw in her eyes the moment his changed, bloodlust swamping his irises and turning his pupils elliptical.

He raised a trembling hand and ran his thumb across her lower lip, and even that small caress was almost too much for him, branding her name on his soul.

â€œI want to kiss you,â€ he uttered and her eyes dropped to his mouth. â€œWould you let a monster like me ruin you?â€

I hope you enjoyed this Sunday Snippet!

Sunday Snippets from my paranormal romance books

Posted on 29th January 2012 by Felicity Heaton

January has been really busy for me so I sort of fell out of posting my Saturday and Sunday Snippets. Sorry about that. I’m getting back on track now and I’ll try to find some juicy, exciting snippets of my paranormal romance books to share with you all each weekend.

First up is a snippet from my latest book, Covet, the first novella in my new Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series.

Lilah remained standing on the threshold of his room. Javier sighed, reached out, took her hand and pulled her into the room. He felt her tense when he slammed the door and she remained with her back to him, her wrist held tight in his grip, so fragile beneath his fingers.

So delicate.

She was a rare flower and he felt as though she had bloomed for him tonight, had filled his dark world with the scent of her intoxicating fragrance and given it colour for a brief moment.

He wanted that again.

Needed it.

Needed her.

â€œWhere is your master?â€ he whispered and turned towards her, his gaze on his hand where it held her wrist. The sight of his fingers locked around her, touching her at last, fascinated him. He had wanted this for so long that he couldnâ€™t deny his desire for her. Even this simple touch was too much for him, filled him with hunger and flooded his veins with the heat of passion.

I hope you enjoyed this Sunday Snippet!

I wish I was writing more in this series at the moment, but I have to write Her Demonic Angel now so it’s ready in time for its scheduled September release. I’ll just have to wait until I’ve written it and then I can dive back into the series and write the final two books. It’ll be nice writing a novel for a change though. I like to write novellas, but I do love the twists, turns and other things I can do only in a long novel.

Covet Book Tour delves into the world of Vampirerotique and other Vampire Erotic Theatre news

Posted on 24th January 2012 by Felicity Heaton

Hot on the heels of my first date in my Covet Book Tour where I stopped by Riverina Romantics for an interview and shared an excerpt, plus giveaway, I’m visiting the fabulous Bona Fide Reflections and talking about the book, Covet, and the theatre, Vampirerotique!

On Friday, I’ll be at the wonderful Book Monster Reviews and Literal Addiction interviewing Javier and Lilah about the theatre. Full details of the tour is available on my Covet Book Tour page. The tour schedule gets busy after this week, with another four stops next week, three the week after, and four the week after that!

In other Vampire Erotic Theatre series news, I’ve just completed the first draft of Enslave. It finished at 33500 words but I think this one will grow a little in edits as I want to up the UST in the first half of the book. I really want to write the next book in the series, Bewitch, now so I can finally write Snow’s book, Unleash, but I can’t.

Since Enslave is the final planned release in the series for the year, it means I have to switch my focus to another of my series that actually has a release schedule for 2012. I have to read Her Guardian Angel so I can plan and write Her Demonic Angel. Since I plan to release that book this September, I really need to get cracking on it. It’s a hard life but someone has to live it. I was going to read Her Guardian Angel when I’m in Barcelona over the next couple of days but I think I’ll read something by Lara Adrian or Gena Showalter instead. I need a break from work.

Covet Book Tour kicks off and other Vampire Erotic Theatre news

Posted on 23rd January 2012 by Felicity Heaton

It’s time to tour again. This year I’m trying to keep my book tours smaller and more focused, so I don’t end up spending too much time writing tour posts when I could be writing. I really want to streamline things this year to maximise my writing time. I’m also offering touring with a difference for my paranormal romance books in 2012. There’s a grand giveaway for each of my tours and the prize you can win simply by following the tour and commenting on the posts is six signed paperback copies of my paranormal romance releases of 2011. Sounds good, right? You can read all about it by clicking the book tour button.

The first stop on the Covet Book Tour is at Riverina Romantics where I was interviewed by the lovely Kristen. I’m also hosting a giveaway there. So why not hop on over to the blog, read the interview, enter the giveaway, and don’t forget to leave a comment on the main post so you’re entered into the grand giveaway too! Visit Riverina Romantics and read the interview

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the wonderful Bona Fide Reflections talking a little about the book. Full details of the tour is available on my Covet Book Tour page.

In other Covet news, I’ve had some more amazing reviews come in for the book. I’m utterly floored by the love this erotic vampire romance book and series is getting. Seriously.

“This is the first book in Felicity Heaton’s Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series and I have to say she is off to a very good start. This series seems to have a darker, sensual vibe to it and definitely more erotic… A wonderful addition to the paranormal erotic romance genre and one that will be a favorite for many.”

— Bitten by Paranormal Romance, 5 Stars! (Read the full review)

“I was completely in love with Ms. Heatonâ€™s writing style and ability to bring me into the scenes. Every emotion that Javier and Lilah felt, I felt and was able to connect that much more to them and the story. Her vivid imagery of the world, settings and characters brought the book to life and made it burn.”

— Hesperia Loves Books, 4 Stars! (Read the full review)

“This story for me was extreme heat at its finest as it felt like a long seductive and sensual foreplay between Javier and Lilah… The author, Felicity Heaton, created a theater, which made me feel as though I wanted to be apart of it with its erotica performances. Fans of paranormal erotica will surely feel satisfied once theyâ€™ve reached the end of this story of forbidden love.”

— Romance Novel Junkies, 4.5 Stars! (Read the full review)

“Felicity Heaton depicts the Vampirerotique so vividly I had to look around just to make sure I was not on stage! Thanks to the writer gods for Felicity Heaton! I am looking forward to Novella #2”

— Queentutt’s World of Escapism, 5 Stars! (Read the full review)

Covet

Felicity Heaton
Theyâ€™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, the theatre he runs with three other vampires. 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.

Lilah has fought her desire for Javier since arriving at his theatre as a servant but each glance he has stolen, his eyes promising pleasure that will satisfy her longing for him, has chipped away at her defences and she can no longer deny her need and her forbidden feelings for the powerful vampire male.

When they find themselves alone in a private box during one of the erotic performances, will they surrender to their passion and live out their wildest fantasies in a night of wicked pleasure or will the threat of Lilahâ€™s master keep them apart forever?

Vampire Erotic Theatre Series: More fantastic reviews for Covet and now writing Enslave!

Posted on 19th January 2012 by Felicity Heaton

I didn’t blog yesterday as I had a day off with my DH. I’m back today, have you missed me?

Things are going really well for my Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series. Covet has been the book on everyone’s lips and it has been receiving some fairly amazing reviews. The Snow fan club is growing each day and Snow is preening himself like a male peacock. He has to look good for the ladies. I swear this guy is shooting you all down with nothing but a sexy growl and a wink.

Of course, with all the love for Covet comes all the high expectations. And with those high expectations comes a heck of a boat load of pressure. I find myself panicking about Crave and whether it’s going to be good enough for everyone after the hotness that was Covet. The book is hot, make no mistake, and chocked full of forbidden love between the elite vampire Callum and the sassy werewolf Kristina, but I’m still worrying about it. I’m sure when I read it over for its final proof, I will be fine with it and will relax a little.

With Seduce, the third book, wrapped up in first draft, I decided to plunge straight into writing Enslave today. Enslave is now standing at 7700 words and I had to force myself to stop writing so I could do my other work for the day. That’s surely a good sign. There’s already a fantastic dynamic between Andreu (Javier’s younger brother) and the fae heroine Varya. Yes, you read that right. She’s a fae. She’s a succubus in fact.

Varya is the first fae I have written and I’m having fun with her so far, meddling with the whole myth behind her species and making it my own. There are other fae in the series, and in particular the next book I have planned. I’ve found I really like mixing in fae with werewolves, vampires and other supernatural creatures.

I had always been reluctant to toy with fae before because I felt that everyone was doing fae so well that I wouldn’t stand a chance, but I couldn’t resist bringing the fae into this series. I really hope you like my take on them!

My 7700 word start on Enslave has boosted my year’s word count to 52700 though, so I’m already 13.2% of the way towards my target!

Here are some snippets of the amazing reviews that Covet received recently.

“I loved this novella and was able to finish it over the course of two nights. Believe me when I say it was hard to put down that first night! Felicity Heaton’s first erotic story is one that shouldn’t be missed and I am already counting the days until Crave, the second book in her Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance series hits digital shelves in March!”

— Night Owl Reviews, 4.5 Star Top Pick! (Read the full review)

“Can Felicity Heaton write the steamy or can Felicity Heaton write the steamy? … Fast paced and entirely too fun, Felicity Heaton’s vampires are well-fleshed out and will leave you waiting impatiently for the next book in the series.”

— Reading the Paranormal, 5 Stars! (Read the full review)

“This was a very interesting new brand of vampire for me. Set in present day, yet it had an almost historical feel with the various levels within the vampire social hierarchy. There are also many rules that must be followed in their world. I truly feel that rules are supposed to be broken. Javier and Lilah feel the same way I do about rules… Their sex scenes are highly erotic. There is a spicy blend of voyeurism, mild bondage, mild dominance and some very intense sex scenes. The performances of the theatre are an added bonus to the flames that Javier and Lilah are throwing.”

— The Jeep Diva, 5 Stars! (Read the full review)

“With a unique plot and some of the most erotic scenes I’ve read (and I’ve read my fair share of them!), Covet is not for the shy but definitely for the smut lover. If you’re new to Ms. Heaton’s work, this book will make her an instant favorite, and if you’re just looking for a spicy novella to get you out of a reading funk, this book will no doubt do the trick!”

SEDUCE (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series #3) completed in first draft and series news

Posted on 17th January 2012 by Felicity Heaton

Although I probably should have rested my shoulder yesterday, as it has been very bad for the past week or so and was hurting when I was writing, I ignored it and battled through the pain with the help of some meds. I know that probably isn’t a wise thing, but I really needed to write and nothing can stop me when the mood strikes, especially when it strikes as hard as it did yesterday.

My word count and progress on Seduce rose nicely yesterday, bringing me 9000 words closer to the end and up to around 40,000 words. Seduce is turning out a little longer than the first two books in the Vampire Erotic Theatre series, but I think that’s because Antoine has a lot in his past that he needs to get off his chest and then there’s the whole thing with Snow, his older brother. Now that’s a relationship you don’t want to come between, although I’m beginning to suspect there are a large number of readers willing to play host to Snow’s darkest desires. He’s gaining himself quite a fan club. Or should that be fang club?

This morning I woke up and my shoulder was mercifully feeling much better. It’s still dodgy, but it no longer hurts when I’m writing. My back is also acting up less. I bought a new office chair when I became a full time writer but I think I need something better for my posture. I have sucky posture. My own fault for living in front of a computer screen.

Back to Seduce.

I brought the book to a satisfying conclusion this afternoon, finishing with it standing at 45,000 words. It will probably grow a little when I edit it, or maybe it will shrink. There are a few things to iron out as the story shifted directions a few times when I was writing it but I’m sure a read through pre-edit will highlight anything that needs tweaking.

Now that Seduce is done, I will be moving on to planning the next three stories in the series, and also the next novel in the Her Angel series. Yes, my astute lovelies, you did read that right. I won’t be ending the Vampire Erotic Theatre series on book 4. I am having far too much fun in this world and two candidates have stepped forwards, making their first appearance in Seduce, as the heroes of the extra books.

What does this mean and when the heck do I get my Snow fix? I hear you crying it.

It makes sense for the books to be added in at position 4 and 5, so Snow’s book will be moved to book 6. He deserves the finale and I have more I want to do with him before we get to see his story unfold. I think it works better for the series if his book doesn’t follow hot on the heels of Antoine’s. It makes life far too easy for the brother’s, and we all know I’m all about giving my heroes a hard time.

The first hero has already been mentioned in Covet, but not by name. He’s Javier’s brother, Andreu. The second is another elite vampire with a bit of a secret, and his name is Payne.

Andreu will now be the hero in Enslave, as that book title suits his story far more than it suits Snow’s.
Payne’s book will be entitled Bewitch.
Snow’s book is tentatively entitled Unleash.

So, the running order of the series is now as follows:
#1 – Covet (Javier and Lilah) – out now.
#2 – Crave (Callum and Kristina) – 10th March
#3 – Seduce (Antoine and Sera) – 23rd June
#4 – Enslave (Andreu and ?) – 4th August
#5 – Bewitch (Payne and ?) – 2013
#6 – Unleash (Snow and ?) – 2013

I’d love to get them out quicker but I need to tour with them and give myself time to promote them, and I also need to release Masquerade in my Vampires Realm series and Her Demonic Angel in my Her Angel series.

In other news, I’m considering writing a werewolf equivalent to Vampire Erotic Theatre next year. Interested?

I feel I should duck and cover to avoid the angry swings of the women of the Snow fan club. I promise, you’ll get a dose of him in each book!
