Hot and Deadly Blog Hop – Win Paranormal Romance Books!

Posted on Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 5:19 AM

It’s time for the Hot and Deadly Blog Hop hosted by H D Thomson and K T Roberts. The hop runs from June 20th until 23rd, and my giveaway is international.

Here are the books I’m going to be offering in this giveaway. All of them feature hot and deadly heroes that will melt your hearts…

Heart of Darkness
Felicity Heaton
A vampire prince on a four hundred year old mission to avenge his murdered sister…

Aleksandr Nemov won’t stop until the last of the vampire hunter’s progeny is wiped from the Earth. Each kill has stolen a piece of his humanity, pushing him towards the black abyss all vampires hold within their hearts. Now he is teetering on the edge, close to devolving into a beast, and time is running out as he tracks the last hunter to Prague. There he finds a beautiful woman who could be his one chance for salvation, but is it already too late for him?

A vampire guard who will do whatever it takes to protect those she loves…

Elise is dedicated to her duty. It’s the only thing she has left. All that changes when she meets Aleksandr in Prague and her master grants him permission to stay at her bloodline’s mansion. She knows all about Aleksandr but none of it prepares her for how she feels when the legendary prince’s hunt becomes one for her heart. Elise battles him with all of her strength but can she stop herself from falling for the handsome hunter? When he reveals the depth of the corruption in his soul, will she have the strength to face the pain in her past and do whatever it takes to save him?

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?

WIP Wednesday – Her Wicked Angel with new sneak peek and other book news

Posted on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 4:12 PM

I’m still working on the next Her Angel romance series book, HER WICKED ANGEL.

I didn’t manage to get the book completed in first draft before I went on holiday to Italy. I took it with me on my Kindle though, and after reading a couple of books by another author, I began reading it over to reacquaint myself with the novel. I finished reading it on Tuesday morning and I’m very pleased with it so far. I’ve just sent over the first 30,000 words of it to some beta readers to see what they think of it and get working with them on it.

The turnaround on this novel is pretty tight but I’m hoping that I can get it out in September / October this year. I had wanted it out at the start of September, but due to the funk I was in for the first part of the year (and I’m still struggling to shake), it’s going to end up pushed back or it will turn into a rush job and I hate rushing my work. You guys deserve the best quality read I can give, and that means I need to do things right and take my time with the editing and proofreading of the book.

I’m hoping that I can get the book completed next week, and then it will have to rest for a period before I can begin editing it. Having read over the first 110,000 words of the novel, I know it’s in very good shape already and just needs some minor work to boost the description in places, up the tension and drama, and inject more of that emotion I love pumping into my books.

I’m not sure what I will be writing once I have a break from Her Wicked Angel. I’m debating whether to begin work on editing the first Eternal Mates book, or work on the next Vampires Realm book. It’s hard to say which it will be. I should write another Vampires Realm book, but my heart isn’t in it right now. My muse wants me to write new series and new worlds, and I think that’s because I’m concerned that at 10 books, the Vampires Realm series has become too big for many readers’ tastes, and it puts them off reading it… even though it’s a series where the majority of the books work as stand alone novels. It always makes me sad when I have to make the tough decisions – writing what will get sales and new readers versus writing what I would love to write in an ideal world where I didn’t need to pay bills, feed myself, my cat and other things. I don’t think it helps that I feel I should write the next Vampires Realm book. Whenever I feel pressurised into writing a book, my muse instantly clams up and gives me hell. Maybe I can fool him into cooperating by reading over the notes for the book and pretending that my schedule really isn’t that bad that if I write another book from scratch, as opposed to editing one I already have written, I probably won’t have another release after Her Wicked Angel this year.

Eep!

Here’s a new teaser from Her Wicked Angel… all first draft because I’m only just writing it so forgive any errors…

Snippet Saturday – Hot Pursuit – Excerpt from Unleash (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series Book 6)

Posted on Saturday, June 15, 2013 at 5:28 AM

It’s time for Snippet Saturday! Each week has a theme or is author’s choice. This week the theme is Hot Pursuit – Going after the one you love.

This week my snippet comes from Unleash (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series #6).

Unleash - paranormal vampire romance Book

Aurora scooted away from him and off the bed. Snow sat up and tried to catch her arm before she could distance herself any further, wanting to finish what she had started even when he knew he shouldn’t.

She stared at him, her eyes wild with the panic he could feel in her emotions and the frantic beat of her heart, overshadowing the lingering trace of her desire, and then bolted for the door. She was out of it before he could get the covers off him.

Snow growled, hit the floor running, and gave chase. The lights were on in the black-walled corridor. His gaze sought her, his head whipping to his left. She had already reached the end of the hallway. Rather than heading down the staircase, she went up another one further back in the corridor. The roof. She intended to fly away from him.

He damned well wouldn’t let her.

He refused to let her run from her feelings any longer.

He sprinted after her, bare feet landing heavily with each long stride, and took the stairs two at a time, following them upwards.

“Aurora,” he called out but she didn’t slow. She kept running into the darkness ahead of him, her small feet making no sound on the steps. Her wings hadn’t made an appearance yet. Was that a good sign?

Snow couldn’t take comfort from it. She was still running from him after all. She intended to leave him again and he feared he would never see her again if he let her get away.

She hit the storage level at the very top of the theatre and kept going.

“Aurora.” Snow tried again, hoping she would listen to him this time. “Do not run from me.”

Not only because he wanted her to stay.

Future Paranormal Romance Book Releases News

Posted on Friday, June 14, 2013 at 11:00 AM

This is a new feature for my blog and only my second post on the topic. I get emails, Facebook comments and Tweets asking me about whether or not certain series will get another book, when I’ll be releasing a certain book, and other questions related to future releases, so I wanted to try to answer all those questions on my blog before they ever come up. My blog is always the place to go to if you want to know what I’m working on, as I blog regularly about my writing and my future releases here.

The questions I’m getting asked the most right now are variations on the theme of…

Is there going to be another book in the Her Angel series and when will it come out?

My update on this question is that the first draft of HER WICKED ANGEL is well under way and nearing completion now. I have no definite release date for the book, but I am aiming to have it out in September/October 2013. HER DEMONIC ANGEL came out in September 2012, so it would be good to have this next novel out around the same time of year.

You can keep up to date on my progress with the book by checking out the HER WICKED ANGEL tag: http://www.felicityheaton.co.uk/blog/category/romance-books/her-wicked-angel/

I really loved UNLEASH and the Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series and I’m sad to see the series end!

Fear not! I mentioned a few months back that while Unleash is the final book in the Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series, it isn’t the last time we’ll be visiting Vampirerotique or the last time I will be playing in that world. I’m currently working on the spin off series, ETERNAL MATES, which focuses on the larger world that Vampirerotique forms a very small part of. In the Eternal Mates series, we will meet new species of fae and demons, venture deeper into this huge world, and also we will catch up with the gang at Vampirerotique, and meet many more vampires too.

The Eternal Mates series will begin in 2014 with the release of the first three novels.

You can keep up to date on my progress with the series by checking out the ETERNAL MATES tag: http://www.felicityheaton.co.uk/blog/category/romance-series/eternal-mates/

Will Hyperion ever find his love?

Yes, the oh-so-wicked lord of the Validus bloodline in my Vampires Realm romance series will have his romance at some future date. In the Vampires Realm time line, he is currently in the middle of his romance. It began at the end of Winter’s Kiss and then continues after Masquerade.

You can read hints about it in the Hyperion flash fiction I wrote a couple of years back too and have posted on this blog: http://www.felicityheaton.co.uk/blog/2011/10/vampire-flash-fiction-the-moon-and-the-cherry-tree/

I have two books to write before I can write Hyperion’s romance. First up is Hunger, which is about Eve and Tor, and then I have to write Forever After, which is about Ineru and River.

When will you release the first Guardians of Hades book?

I’m hoping that I can get the first Guardians of Hades book out in 2014, and perhaps more than one book depending on my schedule. I’ll be editing the book together with the first Eternal Mates book when I’m done with Her Wicked Angel and Hunger.

You can keep up to date with my progress on the series at the Guardians of Hades tag: http://www.felicityheaton.co.uk/blog/category/romance-series/guardians-of-hades/

If you have any questions that you would love me to answer, drop me an email at author@felicityheaton.co.uk or leave a comment. I’ll be sure to answer any questions, and might post about them in my next future book news post too.

I hope this post has been informative and that I’ve answered some of your questions.

Don’t forget to leave a question or email me if you have one!

More Great Reviews for my vampire romance UNLEASH (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series Book 6)

Posted on Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 10:47 AM

Unleash (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series Book 6) came out on May 18th and has had a fantastic reception from reviewers and readers alike! It has over 70 FIVE STAR ratings on Goodreads, over 28 FIVE STAR reviews on Amazon.com Kindle and more than 21 FIVE STAR reviews on Amazon.co.uk Kindle. How freaking cool is that?

I’ve already featured some of the amazing reviews this book has been getting in a previous blog post and today I’m going to share even more wonderful reviews for Snow and Aurora’s romance with you!

Unleash Book Reviews

“Getting to know Snow was one emotional roller-coaster ride. Take away that tough exterior and we are left with this fragile, beautiful man who is just trying to fight his inner demons. And what demons they are. Felicity brought Snow to life with her amazing ability to create a character with such depth and emotion that anyone to read Unleash would find it hard not to form and emotional attachment to him. And let me tell you, to see him finally find that special someone warmed my heart… I loved Unleash and I thank Felicity Heaton for giving it to us! ”
Sassy Book Lovers — 5 out of 5 — Read the full review

“I almost feel sorry for Felicity when it comes to Snow’s book. Can you imagine writing the hero that so many fans are eagerly anticipating? That had to have been a hefty weight for her to carry. I am excited to say that she did not let Snow’s fans down. I have been waiting impatiently to find out all the juicy details about this vamp since the very beginning of the series with Covet. She gave him a remarkable heroine and an extraordinary tale of heartbreak, courage, and overcoming all obstacles.”
The Jeep Diva — 5 out of 5 — Read the full review

“I’ve been a big fan on the VET series from Felicity Heaton since I read the first book, Covet!… In Unleash we find out about Snow’s past, what has happened in his very long life and the tragic events that led to him being so tortured & haunted… This is a true love story – however, it was no bed of roses or all heart and flowers!!!- No – reading Snow’s story was absolutely heartbreaking at times… We get a chance to see all of our favourite characters for one last time!! This was a fabulous finale to a wonderful series and for me it’s a definite 5* read”
Book Loving Pixie — 5 out of 5 — Read the full review

“Snow is a wonderful character! He is fiercely protective and loving, but is haunted by a disease that releases a rage that he cannot control. I was intrigued about his story when he was first introduced in Covet. My heart went out to this man, as he dealt with his bloodlust… There are some deeply touching scenes that made me almost turn to mush! If I wasn’t in love with Snow at the beginning (which I was when reading Covet, by the way!), I would have fallen for him whilst reading this book! I HIGHLY recommend this book (and series!) if you love HOT, STEAMY paranormal romances.”

Here’s more about the book:

Unleash
Felicity Heaton
A powerful vampire lost deep in his bloodlust, Snow is a savage animal, mindless with rage and a thirst for violence, and trapped with no hope of awakening from an endless nightmare… until a song draws him up from the abyss, restoring his sanity but leaving him haunted by the sweet feminine scent of lilies and snow, and fragmented familiar lyrics.

When the mysterious and beautiful songstress reappears in Snow’s room at Vampirerotique, she awakens a fierce protective streak and stirs dark desires that drive him to claim her as his female, even when he knows his touch will destroy her innocence.

A single forbidden taste is all it takes to unleash emotions in Aurora that she shouldn’t possess, tearing her between duty and desire, and luring her into surrendering to her wildfire passion and embracing hungers that burn so hotly they threaten to consume them both.

One act of kindness can lead to one thousand acts of sin though, each a black mark against the bearer’s soul and another grain of sand that slips through an hourglass. The clock is ticking and time is almost up. Can beauty save the beast?
