Intimate Betrayal Excerpt
"Hey, just the man I want to see." Sori sliced his hand through the air toward the beautiful redhead beside him. "Kindise this is Jaden Valenti."
He mentally retrieved his chin from the floor as Sori turned toward him, finishing introductions he needn't finish.
"Jaden meet Kindise Wyatt." He twisted back to the woman and made a dramatic bow at the waist, concluding. "Welcome to our home."
Her genuine smile caused a familiar tickle deep in Jaden's chest. Seeing her expression up close revealed she was more enchanting than any thirty-foot surveillance could show. Nursing the pain of a bullet graze on his left side, he took his time standing but opted out of walking over to shake her hand. Not because his wound prevented him from moving, but because he knew if he got too close, the temptation to kiss her delectable mouth would be overpowering. How many times had he fantasized about her full lips, their warmth, their softness, and their sweet taste? He dreamed of her too many times to count, and now here she stood.
"Jaden?" Sori's verbal prodding drew him back to the moment.
"Huh? Oh. I'm sorry." He shook his amorous thoughts about the silkiness of her hair free and bowed his head. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kindise."
"It's kind of you both to allow me to stay here."
Her glimpse was too fleeting. It barely landed on him before shooting back to Sori. It was the first time he heard her voice; it was as sexy as hell's temptation and as seductive as the woman herself. If he could only reach out to caress her cheek, while enjoying the depth of those amazing eyes. The deep color was breathtaking, nearly paralyzing him where he stood when she looked back at him. Wait! What did she say? She's staying here? He straightened just a little taller.
A soft chuckle escaped her, capturing his heart as the sight of her had so long ago. Her thick lashes danced between him and Sori as she spoke. "I promise my intrusion on your privacy won't be long."
His pulse pounded through his body. Light dew dampened his palms. Rapid puffs of air exited his lungs on silent billows. This was fate playing out her hand, and rewarding him for the sacrifice he'd made to keep Kindise alive. Fate brought her back to him.
Her deep mellow tone stirred something buried inside him as she said, "as soon as I find--"
"That's what we wanted to talk to you about." Sori placed the basket he held on the floor near the kitchen, before taking Kindise's arm, guiding her toward the sofa where Jaden had been resting.
Holy Christ, I can't sit next to her. The gentle-sweet smell of her perfume
accosted him as he stepped out of the way and headed for the kitchen. Glancing back, he saw Sori turn with raised hands that spoke his silent question. He answered as if he'd been verbally asked. "I'm going to get our guest something to drink."
"I've seen to her needs."
Jealousy tainted his thoughts. Yeah, well you better not have seen to all of them, my Fae friend.
"Come sit down, we need to talk to you."
Summary

Kindise Wyatt escapes her Star Rider captor and returns to Earth. With the help of a sexy Old World Mole and his mysterious friend, she's determined to uncover the whereabouts of her lover. Instead, she finds nothing but betrayal and her captor in pursuit.

On the lam after betraying his evil ruler, ex-Dirt Dweller and drifter Jaden Valenti confirms his name is on a hit list. Finding what he believes will be safety amongst the Airbornes, he recreates himself and hides his past until trouble walks back into his life in
the name of Kindise Wyatt, the woman he was ordered to assassinate and didn't.

Due to the obsessions of a Fae woman Sori gave up his hard-earned royal title and left his homeland of Elfame. Love is the furthest thing from his mind until he is sent in Jaden's place to pick-up some cargo...human cargo in the form Kindise Wyatt. He feels the Fae magnetism of his soulmate in her. Problem is; she's in love with someone else.

Will Jaden fulfill his orders to kill Kindise and get his name removed from the list, or will his secret be exposed and betray the friendship he has with Sori? Does Sori help Kindise find her lover, or will a love between them have a chance to flourish before a fatal
attraction and a determined captor rip their love asunder? Will Kindise find true love or will betrayals at every turn crush the fight out of her? Can she find her inner strengths to keep fighting and lead The Freedom Fighters to defeat the Dirt Dweller elites, once and for all?

Here’s a teaser from one of the books to tempt you…

Excerpt from Blood Flame by Caris Roane

Connor plundered Iris’s mouth, knowing he shouldn’t, but unable to help himself. He’d craved her for months. Now she was in his arms and telling him she was falling for him, too.
She tasted sweet, like a ripe plum. He licked her tongue and heard her moan in response. He slid his hand over her breast, her nipple already peaked as he began to fondle her. A streak of desire shot through his cock. He glided his hand to her waist and pulled her t-shirt from her jeans, then smoothed his fingers over her stomach and up to her bra. He caressed her again through the soft fabric then plucked at her nipples.
She groaned and pushed at him, though he wasn’t sure why. When he drew back, he saw that her cheeks were flushed. He was about to call a halt to everything, thinking maybe she was too weak to continue. But she suddenly leaned back just enough to take her shirt off and set her hair free from her ponytail. He held her loosely in his arms the whole time to keep her from falling backward.
She wanted this as much as he did.
His gaze was caught by the white mounds of her breasts. His jaw trembled with need. Using his arm to support her, she was able to reach behind and unclasp her bra.
His intake of breath was a slow hiss as his gaze floated over her bare breasts. Her nipples were erect and with a grunt he fell on her chest, taking as much of her left breast in his mouth as he could.
But his pants had become a serious hindrance. “Time to get rid of some of these clothes.” His voice sounded hoarse to his own ears.
She eagerly slid off his lap to sit on the grass. “Shirt off,” she commanded. “I want to look at you.”
He smiled, knowing the effect his muscled body had on women. He was on his knees as he lost the tank.
But she held out a hand, stopping him from moving. He didn’t know why, until her gaze took in his shoulders, his chest, his stomach. She shifted to her knees as well and with her hands caressed his chest, feeling him up.
The altered life had given him strength. He pumped iron, but only required a quarter of the time his human counterparts would need to get the defined look the Border Patrol men carried. She fondled his pecs, and he wasn’t surprised when she leaned into him and took some of his flesh in her mouth.
The suckling had his cock standing straight up and begging for the same kind of attention. While she worked his chest, he unbuttoned his leathers and began pulling them down, freeing his erection.
As she continued to touch him and suck on his pecs, she kept making small moans and coos, all sorts of sounds that helped him know how much she was into him.
Was this really happening?
He’d had many fantasies about making love to her, but none of them equaled the simple touch of her tongue, her lips, her hands. A soft witch energy flowed from her as well, as much an erotic sensation as everything else she was doing.
When she leaned back, panting, he went to work on her jeans. Of course by the time he had them peeled down to her knees, he realized he had to get rid of her shoes.
He untied them as quickly as he could. But once he had the rest of her clothes off, she surrounded his cock with both hands, fondling him. He was still on his knees and his leathers had him trapped. She scooted closer, smiling up at him.
All he could do was stare at her awestruck.
“I think I know what you’re feeling,” she said. “It’s as though we’re the first people in the entire world to have ever done this.”
“Your touch is like that for me.”

Kissed by a Dark Prince

by Felicity Heaton
Olivia thinks it’s her lucky night when a dangerously handsome unconscious fae ends up on her inspection table. He’s her chance to redeem herself with her employer, the demon-hunting organisation, Archangel. But when the tall, dark and deadly immortal warrior awakes, she gets much more than she bargained for...
Attacked by his enemy in the elf kingdom, the last thing Prince Loren expects when he comes around is a beautiful angel watching over him. Hazy from his injuries, all he can focus on is the pulse ticking in her throat and the sweet allure of her blood.
One single bite reveals she is his eternal mate, triggering a bond between them that will leave him weakened until it is completed... or broken, and pulling Olivia into the crossfire of his ancient feud.
Will Loren be strong enough to place duty before desire and give up the one thing he has waited millennia for and craves above all others—his eternal mate? And will Olivia be able to resist the incredible heat that burns between them and the temptation of her dark prince’s kiss?
bloodflame

Blood Flame

by Caris Roane
Connor, a powerful vampire serving as a Border Patrol Officer for his corrupt world, falls for a gifted witch who has the ability to kill him with a single touch...
In BLOOD FLAME, vampire Officer Connor of the Crescent Border Patrol tries to suppress his desire for the powerful witch, Iris Meldeere. Because the woman possesses the ability to kill him with the tips of her fingers, how can he possibly fall in love with her?
When a double homicide throws them together, he soon finds his deepest fantasies fulfilled as Iris succumbs to his seductions.
But as they battle together to stay alive, and love begins to consume them both, will the witch be able to forgive the dark secrets of his past?
Covet

Covet

by Felicity Heaton
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, 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. 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 Lilah’s master keep them apart forever?

EmbraceTheDark

Embrace the Dark

by Caris Roane
Will she fall to temptation and give herself to a vampire...
Abigail doesn’t mind doing business with the realm-world, until she discovers she’s a rare commodity called a blood rose, something designed to satisfy the deepest needs of a mastyr vampire. She wants nothing to do with that kind of power and servicing a vampire is just wrong. But Mastyr Gerrod’s resistance to her gift, as well as his hot hunkiness in his Guardsman uniform, soon turns her head and she bends her neck to receive a sharp pair of fangs.
Mind-blowing sex, ecstasy, all good things follow. But how can she give up her human world to serve as a blood rose the rest of her life?

The Word Game by Steena Holmes Review! ‪#‎FRC2015‬


The Book

For overprotective parent Alyson Ward, any time her daughter, Lyla, is out of sight is reason to panic. So it’s a big step for her when she lets Lyla attend a sleepover at her cousin’s house. Comforted by the knowledge that her sister, Tricia, is the chaperone, Alyson does the one thing she never thought possible: she lets go and trusts that her daughter will be safe.

But Alyson’s sense of peace is short lived. When Lyla comes home the next morning, she reveals something that could tear apart not only their family but also the entire community. Now, Alyson and Tricia must confront their painful shared past as they come together to help a little girl who they fear might be harboring terrible secrets similar to their own. Will the sisters be strong enough to face their demons in order to protect the child, even if it means telling their most private truths?

The Review

There is a fear involved.  A fear that turns into a knot in the pit of your stomach.  And in that knot, that tortured piece of your soul, there is a secret that will seep into your veins like a poison. 

There is no easy way to tell a secret.  It’s actually easier to deny it.  It’s easier to just keep breathing, keep ignoring that knot, just put one foot in front of the other.  Keep moving.  Pretend that the innocence, the purity, was not torn away unjustly. Just keep it a secret. 

It’s these secrets that Steena Holmes has turned into the reality of the Wilhem family in her latest novel, Word Games.  This is a story we’ve all heard, and sadly – it’s a story far too many of us have lived.  Word Games centers around Aly, an overprotective (helicopter, if you will) mother, and Keera, her niece.  Aly allows her daughter to attend her very first sleepover with some friends, including Keera. 
While the party was coed, it was also moderately supervised.  Kids, however, will be kids.  And that evening, there were whispered confessions and shared secrets that sparked a chain of events that changed the lives of many. 

The topic of sexual abuse is sadly, still taboo, but Holmes tackled it with grace and sensitivity.  In that sense, this novel definitely hit the mark.  There are, unfortunately, too many places where this story falls short. 

There are too many moments in this novel when the opportunity for emotion and detail is completely ignored.  The writing is impeccable and very endearing, which is no surprise coming from Holmes.  The story flows easily, though incredibly predictable.  It almost flows too easily, too quickly, that it is difficult to really get to know the characters.  It was difficult to really feel for the victim in the story, because the reader barely understands her, rarely hears her speak and never sees her thoughts.

It is a very commendable task that Holmes took on in this one, but she sadly falls short.  Is it possible that we will get a part two like Holmes previously did with Emma?  I sure hope so, and I hope she takes her time telling that story.  



A copy of this book was provided for review and there was no monetary compensation.

A bonus story, Poseidon Eyes, from Booktrope's upcoming reissue of Sandcastle and Other Stories---The Complete Edition, is included.
