Immortal
Kiss Series Book 1

Centuries
ago ten powerful vampire gods first walked the earth; their blood
thirst knew no boundaries. The destruction of mankind was inevitable.
Recognizing their weakness, they selected twelve wise human beings to
transform with their godly blood. These twelve, known as The Old Ones
and The Council, govern The Ten. A blood lottery appeasing The Ten’s
hunger was set forth into the human world and passed down every fifth
generation, continuing into the present day.

All
of Beth Ryan’s life a mysterious mist has watched over her; a mist
she believed to be a vampire. On a cold winter night, Philippe Delon,
a 700-year-old vampire walks into Beth’s life. She is drawn to him,
certain he is the vampire behind the mist…but is he?

Beth
and Philippe cannot deny their love for each other, nor do they try
to fight it. Within days of their encounter, Beth accepts Philippe’s
invitation to move into his mansion. The mansion unlocks the door to
the vampire world and exposes secrets from Beth’s past. Within its
walls, she learns the true identity of the mist, her link to the
blood lottery, and betrayal of her loved ones. Surrounded by lies,
Beth stands before The Council begging for resolution.

Twice Upon a Midnight

A Regency Cinderella Story

by Anna Harrington

Genre: Regency Romance

WHEN ONCE UPON A TIME…BECOMES TWICE UPON A MIDNIGHT

When Lady Elenora Darby returns to London, what better way for her parents to introduce her—and attract suitors—than to throw a masked ball? But Ella prefers poets to peers, and in the dark gardens, she encounters a man she knows nothing about…except that he loves poetry. Before she can learn his name, midnight strikes, and he vanishes, leaving behind only one clue to his identity—a glove embroidered with his initials.

As the Duke of Pensworth’s unwanted stepson, Spenser Rhodes has nothing to do with society…until he meets Ella. He knows they have no future. After all, the daughter of a duke deserves a peer, not a printer. Yet Ella is determined to find her masked man. As her search brings them closer, more than society is keeping them apart—so is Spenser’s half brother Simon, who wants Ella for himself.

With a masked ball, evil stepfather, jealous half brother, and unlikely fairy godmother, TWICE UPON A MIDNIGHT is a Cinderella story that readers of Regency romance will love!

Emotional Honesty in Romance Writing

2 min read

“Why did the romance novel character break up with their partner after being emotionally honest?”

“Because they couldn’t handle the truth of their feelings… or the truth that they were actually in a completely different novel altogether!”

emotional honesty in romance

As an author, one of the most essential aspects of writing a romance novel is creating characters that are emotionally honest with each other. Emotional honesty is the foundation of any solid romantic relationship; without it, a connection is bound to fail.

What exactly is emotional honesty? Emotional honesty is being open and truthful with your partner about your feelings and emotions. It means expressing your true thoughts, desires, and fears without fear of judgment or rejection.

Emotional Honesty in Romance

In a romantic relationship, emotional honesty is crucial because it creates trust and intimacy between two people. When partners are emotionally honest with each other, they can build a deeper connection and understand each other more profoundly. It also helps partners feel more comfortable and secure in their relationship, knowing they can be open and honest with each other.

The consequences of not being emotionally honest in a romantic relationship can be devastating. When partners are not honest with each other, they can become distant and disconnected, leading to a breakdown in communication and, ultimately, the relationship. Without emotional honesty, partners may feel unfulfilled and unhappy in their relationship, leading to resentment and anger.

As an author, you have the power to create characters that are emotionally honest with each other, and this can be a powerful tool in creating a compelling romance novel. By showing your characters being emotionally honest with each other, you can create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability that will draw your readers in and keep them engaged.

Emotional Honesty in Romance

To create emotionally honest characters, you must understand their motivations, desires, and fears. You need to know what drives them, what they want from life, and what they fear. Once you understand your characters on this level, you can create dialogue and scenes that show them being emotionally honest with each other.

It’s essential to note that emotional honesty doesn’t mean that your characters have to be perfect or without flaws. Showing characters being emotionally honest with each other can highlight their imperfections and vulnerabilities, making them more relatable and human.

In conclusion, emotional honesty is crucial to any successful romantic relationship. As an author, creating emotionally honest characters can be a powerful tool in creating a compelling and engaging romance novel. By showing your characters being open and truthful with each other, you can develop a sense of intimacy and vulnerability that will draw your readers in and keep them engaged until the very end.

Roaring Rogues – Spotlight & Giveaway!

5 min readRoaring Rogues by Larissa Lyons! I’m pleased to welcome author Larissa Lyons to the blog with her purrfect paranormal regency romance series, Roaring Rogues! Check out these steamy regency shifter novels and enter to win a gift card below! Be sure to sign up for my VIP Reader’s Group for the latest on books and giveaways! Roaring Rogues Roaring Rogues

Ensnared By Innocence

Roaring Rogues Book 1

by Larissa Lyons

Genre: Paranormal Regency Romance

2022 Maggie Award of Excellence Finalist

Changing into a lion isn’t all fur and games.

A Regency lord battles his inner beast while helping an innocent miss, never dreaming how he’ll come to care for the chit—nor how being near his world will deliver danger right to her doorstep.

If Darcy possessed a roaring libido and grappled with feline curses…

Lady Francine Montfort may have led a sheltered life till her parents’ untimely demise but that doesn’t mean she’s ignorant. Neither is she blind to the conniving ways of her persistent aunt, who’s determined to marry Francine off for her own selfish gain. Forced to drastic measures to avoid the wretched woman’s scheming, Francine concocts her own masterful plan.

She might need to beg a favor from Lord Blakely—the sinfully alluring marquis who inspires all manner of illicit thoughts—but she’s determined to help him as well. To ease those mysterious, haunting secrets that torment him so…


When Lady Francine, the epitome of innocence, requests he pose as her betrothed, Blakely knows he should handily refuse. He’s baffled when unfamiliar, protective urges make themselves known, tempting him to agree while danger stalks ever closer.

Alas, it’s fast approaching the season when Blakely loses all control. Either Francine satisfies his sexual appetites or he’ll be forced to reveal his beastly side. And that will never do. Not now that he’s come to care for the intrepid miss.


Standalone ~ HEA ~ 80,000 word Novel

Note to Readers: This love story between two people contains a lot of sizzle, including one partial ménage scene that gets rather…growly.

A much shorter version of Ensnared by Innocence was previously published; this second edition is three times as long and freshly rewritten.

**On Sale for a limited time!**

Roaring Rogues

Deceived By Desire

Roaring Rogues Book 2

Meet a Shakespeare-quoting shapeshifter who wants nothing to do with love…

Cursed into the form of a lion without nightly sex, Lord Nash Hammond wants only two things—his liquor strong and smooth, and his wenches wild and willing. What he doesn’t need is a virgin!

Nash senses the man across from him in the cramped stagecoach is trouble, a danger to the veiled woman accompanying her lofty “protector”. Nash knows he’s no hero, yet she keeps asking for his help. And how is it the vexing female knows so much about his secrets? Ones that could rip her apart if she only knew it…

And the spunky “lady” from the streets who masquerades as another man’s mistress…

Blessed with the second-sight—or cursed, depending upon which relative she believes—Laney sees her two possible futures: bleak and a soon-deceased victim (ack!) or frolicking with her fellow stagecoach passenger: a golden-eyed, tawny-haired gentleman—who’s anything but.

The miserable rip who’s already stepped on her dress, who keeps staring

Nash is surly and rude and resistant to her every effort to speak with him. When they stop for the night and she overhears him order a “strumpet” to bed, Laney takes the doxy’s place, convinced she can pretend well enough. After all, she’s pretended to be a mistress for years. She’ll satisfy his needs, but refuse his money—demand he listen and help her instead. Then she’ll be safe.

Until, along with her body, Nash starts to claim her heart as well.

Reader Advisory: While Deceived by Desire is laugh-out-loud funny in places, it contains a short *vision* of violence and brief references to past abuse. Beyond that, expect a fun and sexy good time because…

Changing into a lion is all fun and growlsuntil it isn’t.

HEA ~ Book 2 – Roaring Rogues Regency Shifters ~ 97,000 words

A shorter version of Deceived by Desire was previously published; this second edition contains several new chapters characters, and is freshly rewritten.

Roaring Rogues

A lifelong Texan, Larissa writes steamy regencies and sexy contemporaries, blending heartfelt emotion with doses of laugh-out-loud humor. Her heroes are strong men with a weakness for the right woman.

Avoiding housework one word at a time ;-), Larissa adores brownies, James Bond, and all things feline. She’s been a clown, a tax analyst, and a pig castrator (!) but nothing satisfies quite like seeing the entertaining voices in her head come to life on the page.

Writing around some health challenges and computer limitations, it’s a while between releases, but stick with her…she’s working on the next one.

Missing You

Dark Night of the Soul Book 1

by Bianca Lee

Genre: New Adult Romance

Missing You

I’d forgotten my past.

But he hadn’t forgotten me…

For as long as I can remember, it’s been Mom, the alcohol, and me.

But that’s the thing: there was a past, before the accident.

Then amnesia robbed me of my first twelve years of memories.

Mom confides only in the bottle, so I’m left guessing what kind of childhood I had.

But now I’m back in the town where I grew up, and for the first time, I have answers to my questions—answers I never saw coming.

I’m not the same person I was—but neither is Ashton De Santis.

A bare-knuckle fighter in the ring, rippling with power . . . and my childhood best friend.

As Ashton gently reintroduces me to our history, it’s difficult not to let old affections catch alight. But even as our chemistry sizzles, I can’t help feeling I’m going to get burned.

As much as I want Ashton, this is something I just can’t afford.

Because if I lose him again, it’ll haunt me for a lifetime.
