My Chat with Gedeon, Duncan & Xiu

Hello and welcome!

Do I have a treat for you today!!! Read on to see what happened, make sure you have the arctic fan at full blast. You’ve been warned 😉

alom.jpg

I try to scream, but I can’t, there’s no air in my lungs. One moment everything is black, in the next moment I need to close my eyelids at the bright light. I’m dizzy, my knees buckle. Thank God strong arms are holding me tight.

Are you alright Ms. Eniko?

I open one eye. I’m right in front of a bulky chest. I’m tempted to find out if those pecs are as hard as they seem. I let my forehead fall against them. God! They’re even harder!

Uhmm… Ms. Eniko? Another male voice asks.

I blink. Where was I? I look around. I’m in a clearing, before a cozy cabin. Oh God! I’m in the dream-world! I’m in a real dream-world!

Well, not exactly. You’re just dreaming that you’re here with us.

I turn my head around, to find Ged smiling at me. Damn! That guy is gorgeous!

If you’ve recovered, we can go inside. There’s coffee and tea waiting for you.

And Ged has made cookies and pancakes! Duncan comes out with a smile. You’ll love them, Ms. Eniko.

The sexy shifter wears a white t-shirt that shows all his muscles. Gulp. I want my own dream-world full of sexy werewolves, vampires and dream-walkers! I can only nod.

Uhmm… Ms. Eniko, you can let go of Xiu now. Ged’s eyes are twinkling.

Do I have to? Uhmm, yes. Sigh. I suppose that it is time to let go and chat instead.

3-kings

 

What is your full name?

Duncan: My full name is Duncan—

Xiu interrupts  I’m sorry Ms. Eniko, but we have enemies. We can’t give you our full names. the hot Native American interrupts Duncan frowning at him.

If glares could kill…

Ged: Xiu, is right Ms. Eniko, we need to protect our privacy. Is it okay for you if we give you only our first name? My name is Gedeon.

Of course, I didn’t even think of the danger, sorry!

Ged takes my hand with a smile. His lips barely brush my skin, but his eyes… Wow! If angel’s exist then they look like him for sure.

Xiu bends his head in my direction: Xiucatle.

Duncan: I’ve already said my name. Duncan.

Temperatures rise when Duncan winks at me with a charming grin. I knew I should have brought a fan to this interview!

Do you have a nickname?

Ged: Everybody calls me Ged, he’s Xiu… Ged points with his chin at the Native American. And we call him sometimes Shadow… And the pup at my side is just ‘Pup’.

Gedeon bends to the side so fast that I can discern only a blur. It seems that Duncan’s fist just failed to reach his cheek. Duncan growls and Gedeon bats his lashes innocently at me. This is going to be interesting.

What is one word best describes you?

Duncan: Alpha.

I hear someone chortle. Xiu? I can’t say for sure, he keeps a straight face when I turn to him.

Ged is rubbing his chin as if he wasn’t sure what to say Patient? Strategyst? Too complicated for one word? he chuckles.

Duncan: If you had asked me, I’d have said that Ged is sophisticated, but thinking about it… yes, he’s definitely complicated—at least for a man.

Silence. Everyone looks at Xiu, who is fidgeting in his seat. Their gazes cross. Xiu’s is full of pain. I know about his past as a slave, but all that pain makes me want to know more about him. Duncan’s smile has disappeared, he has his fist clenched now and all his muscles are taut. Ged shakes his head almost imperceptibly. I’m getting the feeling that they’re having a conversation without me.

Xiu, finally, he raises his chin… Warrior!

Describe what you are wearing now to our readers.

Duncan: A white T-shirt and jeans.

Xiu: Black cargo pants, black T-shirt, and black combat boots.

Ged: I wear a dark, slim fit suit in stretch wool from Armani; a white shirt; a light blue tie from Hermes; and black, handmade Italian shoes.

Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?

Ged: Basically yes. Ms. Xireau understands how different we are from each other.

Duncan: I’d have liked if she had shown more of our background and our daily life, but I understand that there was a word limit.

Ged: Some women have shown a special interest for Xiu, but the Ms. Xireau would have to write a whole book just to tell his story.

Ged winks at Xiu. Xiu is frowning, but his blushed cheeks betray him.

What makes you laugh out loud?

Duncan: I suppose that the same things that make other people laugh. I don’t know.

Duncan looks at his mates. What makes you laugh out loud?

Ged and Xiu are staring at Duncan as a lopsided grin appears on their faces.

Duncan: F*** you! He shows them his middle finger.

Ged and Xiu laugh out loud. No words are needed, I catch the idea and I chuckle.

What is your favourite dessert?

Xiu: Pancakes!

Ged: My tastes are… very singular, you don’t want to talk about them, Ms. Eniko.

Duncan: I love almost everything Ged cooks, and of course… whatever my mates have to offer.

There is a twinkle of mischief in Duncan’s eyes. Again… No comment!

What is your favourite drink?

Xiu: Water.

Duncan: German beer.

Ged: Let’s say that I never say no to a glass of good, red…wine.

What is your greatest fear?

Duncan: To see myself in a situation where I’m not able to protect my mates and specially Sarah and our unborn daughter.

Ged smiles at me The same as yours.

Has he just read my mind? Duncan’s answer made me recall my son and my need to protect him. Is Ged talking about a son? His son?

Ged: Sons, daughters, mates… They’re all our loved ones and, usually, also the reasons for our greatest fears.

He’s doing it! He’s reading my mind!

Ged: Sorry Ms. Eniko, I can’t prevent it. You’re a bit nervous and that makes you think loudly.

Xiu: A good warrior never lets others know his real fears.

What is your favourite colour?

Duncan: Blue.

Ged: Bright red for drinks, blue for everything else.

Xiu: Green, it represents the equilibrium between the head and the heart.

What do you wear when you go to sleep?

Duncan grins Are you sure you want to know?

Xiu: Only my dagger.

Ged: When I go to sleep I wear pajama trousers.

Duncan turns to him frowning I’ve never seen you go to bed in a pajama.

Ged rolls his eyes I’ve said when I go to sleep. If you’re in the room I know I’m not going to sleep.

What is the perfect romantic date?

Duncan: Whatever, as long as Sarah ends in my arms. And no, this time I’m not talking about sex.

Ged: The perfect romantic date changes with time. We change, our relationship changes and circumstances change. The perfect romantic date is when you adapt to the moment and the person you love.

Xiu: The perfect romantic date? When you look at your mate and know that she’s aware of how much you love her and that she’s happy spending that moment with you.

How ticklish are you? Where are you ticklish?

Duncan: Not much.

Xiu and Ged stare at Duncan.

Duncan: Okay, I’m a bit ticklish.

Xiu and Ged keep staring at Duncan.

Duncan: Okay, okay, I’m very ticklish! I’m ticklish everywhere, but nobody needed to know it!

Duncan keeps muttering something under his breath.

Ged: It depends on how relaxed I am.

Xiu frowns I don’t know.

Duncan: You don’t know if you’re ticklish? Who doesn’t know if he’s ticklish?

Xiu: I don’t know!

Duncan: Great! We’ve got plans for you Shadow, and Sarah will love them!

Xiu: Don’t dare to even think about it!

Duncan: Oh, it has nothing to do with thinking, I promise! he chuckles

Xiu: Duncan!

Duncan: Xiu?

Ged: Stop! Both of you! We don’t want Ms. Eniko to get a wrong impression about us, do we?

Duncan: Of course not! I’m sorry Ms. Eniko, Xiu is a bit grumpy but —

Ged: Duncan!

Xiu growls at Duncan.

What’s your favourite smell? What does it remind you of?

Xiu: My mates. Home, peace.

Duncan: My mates. Their smell reminds me of sex and love.

Ged: My mates scent. It reminds me that I’m alive and that live is wonderful.

When you look at a woman what catches your interest?

Xiu: The only woman I look at is Sarah. I love her smile, the way she frowns when she doesn’t understand something, the way she moves… Everything in Sarah catches my interest.

Duncan:  Curves. I like women with curves. A generous cleavage, hips to hold on when I get lost in them… But to be honest, since I’ve mated with Sarah the only curves able to catch my interest are hers, and Sarah is so much more than just curves. She’s smart, sassy, strong…

Ged: Physically? Seeing the back of a woman has always raised my interest. There’s a special kink in observing a nude woman from behind. Just tracing a woman’s neck with my gaze, going down following the line of her spine, and reaching the generous curve of her bottom, is one of the most fascinating and arousing sights for me. If we’re talking in general, nevertheless, then a woman’s intelligence, her sense of humor and her compassion toward others takes precedence over any physical aspect.

Do you have somebody in your life now?

All 3 respond in unison SARAH!

What is one word best describes her?

Duncan: She’s a Dream!

Ged: Life!

Xiu: Hope!

Is your book part of a series? What does the future hold for the readers of the series?

Ged: Yes. There will be a series, each book can be read as a standalone though.

Xiu: Sarah wants to turn our dream-world into a safe place for those who are in danger in the real world.  We’re already helping Samgar. His female mate is in danger, and his male mate is condemned to die if he can’t find a place where he can let loose his true nature.

I still don’t like that f****** dragon-shifter near Sara. He’s f****** out of control! Duncan mutters with a low dangerous voice

Ged: Ms. Eniko, soon it will be time for you to go back to your world, but we’ve thought you’d enjoy a short picnic at the cascades. The three blood moons are impressive when they shine over the lake.

Oh that is wonderful! Are you sure I have to go back? I am ok with staying here for a while longer.

Ged smiles as he whispers A little while longer.

And that is the last  thing I remember.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you enjoyed the chat as much as I did. It was quite different, no? Dream travel!

3kings-cover.jpg

The three hunks hail from “Three Kings for Sarah” by Noa Xireau.

Three powerful warriors are called on to play the Three Kings for a dying Spanish girl. Shapeshifter Duncan must work with his ex-lover Gedeon, the vampire who once betrayed him. When the mysterious dream-walker Xiu comes out of the shadows, all of them know they are being manipulated.

Instead of a girl, they find a woman who is dying, protecting the Earth from an otherworldly creature. Trapped in Sarah’s dream world without powers, the three men will have to convince her to return with them—by any means necessary.

Gedeon, Xiu and Duncan will need more than just battle skills to work out their issues before Epiphany and not all of them are aware that Sarah is not the only one who’s being seduced…

Inside Scoop: An intense adrenaline rush can make you fight or…well, yes, just that! Be prepared to stumble over two alpha males blowing off steam in a very hot way.

Reader Advisory: This story has graphic sexual language and scenes—no closed bedroom doors (or other rooms) here!

An adult paranormal romance from Ellora’s Cave

My review:

First book I read from this author and I am impressed with the imaginative and unique story. I loved the way Ms. Xireau matched a vampire, a shape-shifter, a dream-walker, made them work in a menage without interfering with their traits. All 3 heroes are book boyfriend material, so I will not choose, I’ll take them as a package 😀 lucky Sarah, they fell in love with her. The story develops and grows as it unfolds… suspense, passion, laughter, self-discovery ending in a unique HEA.

My Chat with William

Hello and welcome!

You will not believe who is chatting with me today! Read on and find out 😉

Welcome, Sir!

What is your full name?
William Wallace, m’lady.

Do you have a nickname?
None that I’d own up to, though my closest allies call me Willy.

What is one word best describes you?
Guardian.

William.jpg

Describe what you are wearing now to our readers.
Same as always. Chausses, a quilted arming doublet under my hauberk, atop that a surcoat with the crest of Scotland emblazoned across the front. Over my shoulder is my sword belt. I wield the two-handed sword—six pounds and five feet long it is. On my left hip I wear my dirk. I have daggers in my hose and up each sleeve. A man never kens when a backstabber will sneak up and try to run a blade across his throat.

Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?
Och aye, lass.

What makes you laugh out loud?
Not much in these times, though I oft laugh when I’m with Eva. Her odd twists of phrase can tickle me at the oddest moments.

What is your favourite dessert?
No question there, plum pudding!

What is your favourite drink?
A good tot of whisky goes down well, I’d reckon.

What is your greatest fear?
A man in my position cannot afford to fear… though if I had to pick something it would be failure.

What is your favourite colour?
Green like the hills of Scotland—they remind me of Eva’s eyes.

What do you wear when you go to sleep?
I beg your pardon?

What is the perfect romantic date?
Och, in my time, a man courts a woman. But I’d have to say a feast in Stirling Castle’s great hall, followed by dancing and wine, and topped with a stroll alone atop the wall-walk. I might even steal a wee kiss if I were to be so fortunate.

How ticklish are you? Where are you ticklish?
Pardon me, m’lady, but a warrior would never admit to being ticklish.

What’s your favourite smell? What does it remind you of?
I love the smell of wildflowers and honeyed mead. Aye, such scents will always remind me of spending evenings of passion with my Eva.

When you look at a woman what catches your interest?
William scratches his head I believe the word you used was woman. Mm.

Do you have somebody in your life now?
I never thought I would—I was intended for the priesthood, but the day that redheaded woman walked into my life, she claimed my heart forever.

What is one word best describes her?
Amour

Is your book part of a series? What does the future hold for the readers of the series?
Aye, books one and two are about my story, and book three will be about my son: The Time Traveler’s Christmas.

Thank you William for chatting with me. I really enjoyed the first two books and I am looking forward to your son’s story, I hear it is coming in October.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

RISE Cover-AudioForWeb.jpg

William hails from “Rise of a Legend” book 1 of the Guardian of Scotland series by Amy Jarecki.

Running away from her catastrophic life, historical journalist Eva MacKay joins an archaeological dig at the battleground of Loudoun Hill. Unearthing the seal of William Wallace, Eva gains notoriety. But her dreams of Bowie knives, the weapon that murdered her husband, morph into great swords and dirks. Drawn to a ruined monastery, Eva drifts into the worst nightmare of all. Awaking to the sharp point of a madman’s sword, she is hurled into the midst of a bloody 13th-century battle. Just when certain death is eminent, brutal arms surround the lass, dragging her deeper into unknown terror. When Eva realizes she’s been hauled to the hideout of rebel William Wallace, a revelation dawns – she has landed the story of a lifetime – if she can stay alive and find a way home to tell her tale. What she doesn’t count on is her mounting chemistry with the greatest legend Scotland has ever known…or the absolute love swelling in her heart.

I listened to the audio book and I fell in love:
My review on Audible.
5 stars amazing
If you love Highlander historical stories, this one is for you.
Loved the story, time travel, romance, danger, suspense… Picked my curiosity to find out more about William Wallace.
Mr. Gillies outdid himself, I loved his voice before, but after listening to this one, just wow. His various voices throughout the book, never had to think who is speaking. Loved the voice he gave William *sigh* and the singing, you have to hear him singing.
I am definitely getting the next one today.
KingdomAudioCover.jpg

His story continues in book 2, “In the Kingdom’s Name”

Can history rewrite itself? As the time of treachery draws near, hope is but a fleeting whisper.

After his success at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, William Wallace becomes Guardian of Scotland and is thrown into the machinations of court. But when disaster strikes, the love of his life, Eva MacKay, is hurled back to the 21st century. Frantically she tries to return, only to face failure with her every attempt. In this tale of breathtaking love and heartbreaking farewells, destiny twists and turns until all hope expires…but does it?

I did listen to it, right after the first audio book. I couldn’t help myself… the story, Mr. Gillies’ voice sigh

My review on Audible.
5 stars amazing
Can I give this audiobook 10 stars? WOW
The story continues from book 1 and what a story it is! Ms. Jarecki’s talent with words is amazing. Brought to life by the wonderful voice of Mr. Gillies who is one of my fave narrators with his many voices and passion, the story is vivid like a movie playing in my mind. William and Eva are reunited again by the power behind the medallion. Their time together was not easy and when Eva was pulled back to her time at the most inopportune time, I cried with her. But… they get their HEA in a twist at the end that blew my mind. Thank you for the hours of listening pleasure.

William’s son, Lachlan, story is coming on October 4, 2016. I can’t wait!!!

TimeTravelersxmas-cover.jpg

A man’s life can fall apart in an instant…

Tougher than oxhide, Lachlan Wallace can take about anything except a breakup call from his wife two minutes before competing in the Karate Championship of the World. Arriving home with a loss, he agrees to watch his uncle’s cat over the holidays. Or so he thinks—until he awakes on a fourteenth century battlefield beside a woman fighting for her life.

Never underestimate a woman’s determination…

Taken from her at the age of two, Lady Christina de Moray hasn’t seen her son in thirteen years. While traveling with Robert the Bruce’s army to exchange an English prisoner for the lad, a battle erupts. Losing the fight, Christina is rescued by a mysterious warrior while the English escape with her son yet again.

And never bet against the potency of passion…

Left with no way back to the twenty-first century, Lachlan agrees to help Christina rescue the lad from his English captors. If the heir is not returned by Christmas next, the Bruce will make his decision whom to grant the de Moray lands, including Lady Christina’s hand. Once his duty is fulfilled, Lachlan hopes to discover a way home—as long as he keeps his mind on the goal and ignores his growing love for the spirited woman who gives him her trust—and her heart.

Ms. Jarecki loves hearing from her readers and can be contacted through her website. She can also be found on Facebook and Twitter. If you do chat with her, say hello from me😀

A Santini In Love

Book 6

Genre: Military Romance/Romantic Suspense

She was the last woman standing.

Madison Baker was born and bred to be a Marine. When a roadside bomb ends her first deployment—not to mention her career—she is left to pick up the pieces of what is left of her life. She’s returned to Oceanside to regroup and move on. It doesn’t mean she’s ready for a relationship, even if a particular Santini has different plans.

Love happens when you least expect it.

When he first met Madison back at the Academy, Dante Santini is sure the woman was put on the earth to irritate him. She’s prickly and mouthy. She always thinks she’s right. Worse—she almost always is. She hasn’t really changed over the years. One disagreement ends up with them lip locked and very nearly falling into bed, Dante discovers he might need to rethink his first impression.

When Madison is convinced she witnesses a murder, the only person who believes her is Dante. Together, they sift through the meager evidence, trying to unearth the secrets someone is trying to hide. Neither one of them expecting it would draw them closer—or that a killer is hell bent on making sure those secrets stay buried.

Falling for a Santini

Book 7

Genre: Military Romance/Romantic Suspense

A crush that turned into love.

Being the only girl in a family with five Santini brothers was never easy on Elena Santini. She always tried to be faster and smarter to make sure they always took her seriously. They were always trying to tell her what to do, and worse, who she could date. That’s why falling for her oldest brother’s best friend wasn’t smart especially when he treats her like a sister. That is, until she gets him alone in her apartment one night.

One night in Heaven.

NCIS agent Jethro Thomas, known to everyone as JT, has always played it smart. When his admiration turned to attraction a few years ago, he started avoiding Elena. A guy wasn’t supposed to have those kinds of thoughts about his best friend’s little sister. After returning from an undercover assignment, and about to go on another one, he can’t seem to resist the temptation. One night with her and he knows he’s lost, but he has a job to do.

A changed man.

JT returns from the assignment with a few more scars, both physical and emotional–but he survived for one reason. He’s ready to start a new life with Elena, but a dark cloud hangs over the new love. When small incidents evolve into near death accidents, JT realizes someone from his past is ready to destroy his happiness, even harm Elena to make him pay.

One Night with a Santini

Book 8

Genre: Military Romance

He was searching for something that was missing from his life.

Brando Santini is headed to New Orleans to blow off some steam with a few of his buddies. The respite from his life as a Marine doesn’t really seem to do the trick until he runs into his college crush, Kaitlin Fitzpatrick. After a little dancing and a few drinks, they end up in bed together and Brando knows she’s the one for him.

One night will never be enough.

Kaitlin never forgot Brando. She never would have thought the sexy nerd would have remembered her. More than that, she definitely didn’t expect he would be interested in seducing her. Their time in New Orleans is intense but much too short. The memories of his lovemaking leave her counting the days until she sees him again.

A complication neither of them expected. 

By the time Brando arrives in Maryland, Kaitlin suspects that their one night together has left them with more than memories. When Brando insists on marriage, she refuses on the grounds he doesn’t love her. But what Kaitlin doesn’t understand is that when a Santini wants to prove his love, nothing will stand in his way—not her five brothers, his own annoying family, or even the woman he adores.

About Mel

Mel-portrait.jpg

From an early age, Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.

Since the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to sixty romances published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling Harmless series. In 2011, Melissa branched out into self-publishing with A Little Harmless Submission and the popular military spinoff, Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance. Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, thirteen nominations for AAD Bookies, and made the USA Today bestseller list in 2013 with The Santinis.

Since she spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. After twenty years as an AF spouse, she and husband, a long with their brats, both human and canine, are now happy they get to pick where they live. She lives in the middle of wine and horse country in Virginia and shops for million dollar homes in Hawaii.
