Distant Desires Blog Tour



Distant Desires ~ Part 1 by Cambria Hebert
An erotic tale from beyond the stars
Publication Date: June 12, 2014
An erotic tale of alien proportions… Sophie Perez has never believed the stuff she reads online about possible life in space. Aliens are for the movies, for the weirdos, and they most definitely are not real.
One night on the way home from a late shift at work, her car breaks down. Stranded on the side of a country road, with a dead cell phone, doesn’t seem like that big of a deal.
Until strange neon lights appear in the sky. She thinks it is her imagination.
When an inexplicable circular ship appears overhead, she can’t deny what’s clearly right in front of her. Especially when moments later, she’s taken onto the ship, a human hostage among those who are most definitely not human.
About to become a human guinea pig, possibly worse, the last thing she ever expects is to like the things these otherworldly beings subject her to. In fact, it is unlike anything she’s ever experienced.
Will Sophie find her way back to her planet, or will she beg to stay where her pleasure is literally out of this world?


Note:

This is erotica. It is not intended for young audiences. If you don’t like sexy stories this isn’t the read for you. 18+ audiences only, please.

An erotic tale of alien proportions? Yes indeed! Desires will be tempted as "experiments" take on a whole new light. Senses will explode from satisfaction.

Sophie is a smart level-headed gal who won me over quickly. The light-hearted bantering with her hot co-worker adds for a few laughs too. But the mysterious Sapien she soon encounters will have you searching for words for sure. I was honestly freaking out a bit reading the end of this short story. I mean what would you do if it were you?

If you are already a fan of Cambria Hebert then you are undoubtedly going to love this book, & if you are new to her awesome then buckle up for a fast paced joyride! 


The heat from his fingers seared through the back of my shirt. I wondered if his hand print would permanently scar my skin. He used his body almost like a shield, guiding me back down onto the couch, this time sitting much closer to me.
"I know this is a lot, but try not to overreact."
I laughed.
His hand lay between us. I could feel his fingers against my thigh. Without thought, I reached forward, linking our fingers together and drawing his hand into my lap. "Don't you think I should at least be allowed to see your face?"
I sensed his hesitation. But instead of trying to convince him, I waited for a reply.
"I don't look like you."
"No one else looks like me either," I said.
"That's true," Tarek agreed, but it didn't sound like he was speaking to me. Then he spoke out, "I mean the people of your planet. I don't look like your version of humans."
"Then what do you look like?" I asked.
"Like a Sapien." He shrugged his shoulders as he said the words.
"Show me," I said.
Tarek untangled our fingers and withdrew his hand. Slowly, he reached up and grasped the edges of the hood. Then he paused.
I groaned out loud.
This guy was going to kill me!
"I'm afraid I won't please you," he said softly.
The words pierced my heart. He thought I was going to think he was ugly. He didn't realize how those words made him so very similar to me and every human I knew.
He was vulnerable and self-conscious, just like the rest of us.
The fact he even cared at all what I thought of him took away some of my shock and panic.
"Try me," I said equally as soft.
You could have heard a pin drop through the silence that encompassed the room.
The silver silky hood fell back, lying against his neck, the folds of the fabric bunched in a way that created a loose frame for everything above his neck.
He was right. He looked nothing like the human's here on Earth.
Tarek was better.

Team Red Series ~ Book #1
by T. Hammond
April 6, 2013
Can a blind woman who shares a very special bond with her dog, gain her independence and choose between the love of TWO sailors?
In Blind Seduction an accident leaves Teresa March scarred and completely blind. Encouraged by the support of her friends, Teresa sets about adapting to life in the dark, reclaiming her independence.

Best friends make the toughest adversaries. Sebastian Declan and David Preston retire after twenty years of service to their country. Teresa’s scars discourage neither man in their newest mission: winning her heart. Bastian’s battle is uphill, overcoming Teresa’s negative teenage impression. David is a virtual stranger who fell in love with Teresa through Bas’ pictures and childhood stories. These sexy sailors will stop at nothing, including deploying military tactics, to secure Teresa for themselves.

Smart, opinionated, and handsome commonly describe German Shepherds. Teresa’s service dog, Red, is all this, and then some. Red and Teresa are surprised to discover they share a bond which allows Red to speak into Teresa’s mind. Red’s adept tracking skills, and ability to deduce information, open new opportunities for the pair. More importantly, his quirky humor brightens Teresa’s dark world.
 
Welcome to Team Red!
You will laugh out loud (the author apologizes in advance for the strange looks you will get when you start to giggle uncontrollably), in this Humorous, Spicy, Paranormal Romance.

WARNING: This book is INTENDED FOR MATURE ADULTS OVER 18. Contains swearing, which is unfortunate, as the dog repeats everything. When you have two hot, single-minded, sailors pursuing the same woman, graphic language and sexual situations are inevitable.

Blind Seduction is a treat to the senses! It's official...I am completely addicted to this story! #TeamRed The characters & their fabulous sense of humor sold me at the get go. If I could share with you all of the hilarious scenes I highlighted we'd be here quite awhile, but hey you would do better to grab your copy so you can highlight your own personal favorites.
Red is absolutely adorable & his sarcasm priceless! Teresa & Red's conversations flow flawlessly. Janey & Ken are a whole other breed of awesome, true friends to the end. The guys of course bring a whole new level to dating with their strategies, & their surveillance tactics had me doubling over. I don't think there was one single character I did not find interesting, each and every one being essential to this well orchestrated ploy to hook us, ensuring we'd be back for more. I could not stop reading!
Once we get to the dating & those hot HOT hot scenes...let's just say, you may find yourself with an internal struggle as you choose between the uncontrollable bursts of laughter, blushing, & fanning yourself regularly as they become more frequent & intense. There is so much more there than meets the eye. A sensual refreshing read to the end! Love this series & jumping into book 2 right now!

Color Blind ~ Team Red Series ~ Book #2
April 6, 2013
Blinded and scarred in a freak accident a year ago, Teresa has finally found love and a new career with the help of her companion dog, Red. Red appears to be a typical German shepherd, but he shares a mental communication link with his owner that is anything but ordinary. He’s articulate, sassy and opinionated - he’s also scary-smart, and has a talent for tracking.
Teresa and Red, have partnered with ex-Navy men, David, and Bastian, to form Team Red. This unique Team helps the local police department sift through evidence to find forensic clues that only Red's sensitive nose, and Teresa's ability to ask the right questions can uncover. A twist of fate brings Team Red to the attention of the Military, and the Team gets ready for their first undercover mission (we can only divulge at this point that Red looks adorable in his tux).

This book is a Laugh-Out-Loud paranormal extra spicy romance (Yes, I’ve boldly meshed humor and sex *gasp!*).

 “Falling in love with you is the easiest thing I’ve ever done, David. Waking up beside you every morning, makes me happier than I have ever been in my life. There are times I wake up in the middle of the night and simply enjoy the sound of your breathing.”
     He nuzzled my neck, and teased, “Next time, wake me up, then you can enjoy the sound of me breathing really, really heavily.”

 *    *    *    *
 Bas snickered, “He acted like it was a great love affair.”
     Now it was my turn to snicker, “He was no one special in my life. Lighten up, guys, it’s not as if my heart was broken.”
     “What’s broken?” Ken asked as he walked through the room toward the kitchen, obviously having missed the whole conversation. “Shall I grab a roll of duct tape?”
     “Duct tape can’t fix stupid,” Bas growled.
     "Maybe not,” Red replied, “but it can hold it down and muffle the screams.”

*    *    *    *
“I’ll need a gown that’s appropriate for the ball. Something long and sparkly, I think. Christmasy and a little sexy.”
     Bas leaned over and placed a chaste kiss on the crown of my head. “You got it, Loser. Christmasy. Glittery.  Slit to the navel.”
     “Sexy, not slutty,” David corrected with a soft laugh. “You’ll have to be seen with her too, Bas. I’m sure you can imagine how she’d embarrass you if you tried to dress her like the Ho Ho Ho Hooker.”

T. Hammond lives in Spokane, WA with her goofy, neurotic, long-coat German shepherd, Dexter; he's noble and brave, until someone turns on the microwave, then she has 100lbs of quivering dog trying to hide behind her chair or bury his head under a pillow (Little known fact: a 100lb German Shepherd CAN fit under a coffee table).
T. writes two concurrent versions of the Team Red series for both the Adult and New Adult audiences. Blind Seduction and Color Blind are part of the Blind series - featuring adult-themed erotic romance combined with a humorous paranormal storyline. The Red series featuring Red Rover and Red Zone (release date Aug 23rd) is a funny paranormal romance series with a lighter PG13 type storyline. While both series contain the same character names and a lot of shared dialogue, the Red series is stripped of sexual content and language.
T feels that writing is not a calling so much as it is a compulsion. No one is more surprised than she is when characters take over the plot and dialog, and (re)direct stories in directions she had not (consciously) intended. She is fully convinced that the writer is the tool a story uses to tell its tale. Some tools, of course, are more appropriate for the job than others. Here's hoping, you feel she did her stories proud.
T. has a Bachelor's Degree in Organizational Management from Whitworth University, and a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership from Gonzaga University and before becoming a writer she was a bookkeeper, technical/manual writer, Call Center Manager and the owner of a freshwater aquarium store, Guppy Tales.

"Wait a second." Stede caught Embry's arm. "I can't let you walk home by yourself at this hour."
"I walk all over the place by myself."
"If you get raped and killed, I'll never forgive myself."
"Okay, now I'm scared. Thanks for that. Do you have a savior complex?" 
"Only around you." 
He was good. Too damn good. Nobody, no guy, said stuff like that and meant it. "Are you the type of savior who rescues the damsel from the trouble you create?" His grin sent a jolt of excitement through her. 
"I can see why you might think that, but no, I'm a responsible adult." He stood. "Now, how 'bout I give you a ride?"
"How adult are you?"
He tilted his head to the side and raised his eyebrows. "You're a flirty little thing."
"I was asking your age, not how X-rated you can get. You're a guy. I already know the answer to that one."
  
Meda White writes sweet, sultry, and southern contemporary romance. She resides in the Southeastern United States with her husband and a very spoiled furbaby. When not writing, you might find her making music, shooting zombie targets, teaching yoga, or explaining the meaning of her unusual first name.

Fall ~ Review

Fall ~ The Cold Mark Saga
by Scarlett Dawn 
Expected publication date: October 7, 2014
 Blurb:
A savagely wicked new adult sci-fi series blasts off with Fall, the first novella in The Cold Mark Saga...

Only one thousand Humans survived The Travel from the shattered Earth. Some Humans say it was their penance for crushing such beauty. Eighteen-year-old Braita merely thought it was pathetic - pathetic that her people had been that blind.

Now, the Humans live in the solar system, Kline, where three planets are habitable. Joyal, the smallest planet, is embraced by the Humans - their family to love as they had never loved Earth. Though a planet covered mainly in water is dangerous real estate to dwell upon.

Their worry turns into devastating reality when Braita’s blessed village is struck by a tsunami. Population numbers must be kept to a minimum. Drastic measures must be taken. Braita’s life is twisted in brutality when she is chosen as one of the three hundred Humans to be removed from Joyal…and sent to the Mian, the aliens to fear, on the planet Triaz.

Thrown head first into a barbaric world she knows nothing of, Braita must adapt to a dark life as a slave of the Mian society. Her existence depends on it…and possibly, the fall of her heart.

Welcome to the awesome that is Scarlett Dawn!, July 18, 2014Sci-Fi, Paranormal, Romance Awesomeness wrapped up in a short story you will want more of! WELL DONE!! Scarlett Dawn never ceases to amaze me! She has masterfully hooked me on 3 completely different stories in a few months time!! She executes each of them so spectacularly I couldn't begin to tell you which is my favorite!!
Paranormal lover that I am I was first pulled in by her Forever Evermore series. In between books 2 & 3 of that series I quickly devoured her novella Obsidian Liquor (included in The Obsidian Collection anthology) while eagerly awaiting this release of Fall.
Scarlett's descriptive stories consistently jump to life before me, not just the main characters either. To achieve this even in her shorter stories captivates me making me love her work even more! For example, while reading Fall, it felt as if I were observing these other worldly plants & colors through Braita's eyes as she experienced them for the 1st time, and it does not stop there. This human who must travel to an unknown world to survive quickly realizes this is now home. Imagine being forced to abandon your crumbling world that will no longer sustain your people, rebuilding a utopia so-to-speak only to have to abandon it as well, & your only options being to choose to coexist with otherworldly beings you've only heard terrifying tales of or cease to exist. If you ever watched Terra Nova (before it was cancelled) then you will completely get what I mean. Even in the "terrifying places" you can not only see & feel the odd creatures, buildings, landscape, & their ways of life but appreciate it as well...only to later learn all things are not as they seem. At that moment this shocking cliffhanger will leave you speechless!

 King Hall ~ Forever EverMore ~ Book #1
Publication Date: August 1st, 2013
 
Blurb:
A fresh, meaty, sink-your-teeth-in-and-hold-on-tight new adult fantasy series kicks off with King Hall…

King Hall — where the Mysticals go to learn their craft, get their degrees, and transition into adulthood. And where four new Rulers will rise and meet their destinies.

Lily Ruckler is adept at one thing:  survival.  Born a Mystical hybrid, her mere existence is forbidden, but her nightmare is only about to start. Fluke, happenstance, and a deep personal loss finds Lily deeply entrenched with those who would destroy her simply for existing — The Mystical Kings.  Being named future Queen of the Shifters shoves Lily into the spotlight, making her one of the most visible Mysticals in the world. But with risk comes a certain solace — her burgeoning friendships with the other three Prodigies: a wicked Vampire, a wild-child Mage, and a playboy Elemental. Backed by their faith and trust, Lily begins to relax into her new life.

Then chaos erupts as the fragile peace between Commoners and Mysticals is broken, and suddenly Lily realises the greatest threat was never from within, and her fear takes on a new name: the
revolution.

King Cave ~ Forever Evermore ~ Book #2 
Publication Date: January 1st, 2014
Blurb:


The long-awaited sequel to the bestselling, award-winning King Hall: the revolution is here, but the most dangerous attack may come from within...

The safe, comfortable world of Lily Ruckler and her fellow Mystical Kings and Queens is rocked to the core by the attacks at King Hall. Not only does Lily have to kill the Commoners attacking her people, she also has to assume the mantle of leadership, and bring the surviving Mysticals to King Cave.

It should have been too much, but she is not alone. Ezra becomes her rock, her best friend, the one person who understands. As Pearl and Jack struggle with inconsolable loss, Ezra and Lily work to keep the Mys community safe in their new home, and plan a deadly retaliation.

Their friendship saves them both...but it also draws attention. Whispers. Judgment. It's not normal for Shifters and Vampires to be friends, and when a horrifying truth is revealed, their relationship morphs from unusual to unspeakable. Lily is good at keeping secrets that could get her killed. Is she willing to risk Ezra's life as well?

King Tomb ~ Forever Evermore #3
Release date: October 8, 2014

From Scarlett Dawn comes the stunning, sexy, sensual, surprising, spell-binding conclusion to the bestselling first Forever Evermore trilogy. 
Queen Shifter, Lily Ruckler, has found solace in brutal warfare. Her bloodied fists and bared fangs fill the holes left in her memory, the blank spaces that leave her soul aching and empty. Her only pleasure is in blood; her only salvation is the relationship she has with her infant child, the baby of unknown origins who brings her solace and stability.

When Elder Harcourt summons Lily and her protector Antonio back to the United States, Lily thinks nothing unusual about the change of location. But a standard reconnaissance mission leaves her trapped inside King Zeller’s private quarters, and at his mercy. Surprise attraction rapidly turns to a battle of wills and an intense power struggle that leaves no clear victor but plenty of resentment.

They are not allowed to nurse their wounds. In order to win the war against the Commoners, the King Vampire and Queen Shifter must work together. It should be easy. The war is turning, the battle is deadly, and both Lily and Ezra love the cold cleanliness of combat. But their chance meeting has led to more than an unlikely alliance. Secrets have a way of surfacing, especially on a torn-up battlefield, and Lily and Ezra are about to re-learn all they cannot remember. If they can’t control their emotions and responses, it will be to their own ruin and the destruction of everything around them.
