Fall in love with the characters from Lovers Unchained – Erotic Paranormal Romance.

One temptation my characters are always doomed to give in to is the dreaded urge to be blindfolded. Did I say dreaded? What I meant to say was wonderful! My characters always give in to the wonderful urge to be blindfolded. I mean, what’s hotter than a sexy man, tied to a bed and blindfolded? If you know me, then you know that I am obsessed with handcuffs and blindfolds. I simply adore them. My erotic paranormal romance, Lovers Unchained, has both. But the characters wish that they weren’t handcuffed and blindfolded. In Lovers Unchained my hero and heroine are trapped in a prison by the beautiful vampiress, Lana. The handcuffs they wear are meant to keep them from escaping and the blindfolds are used as punishment. But even in these hellish conditions Jude and Carissa still manage to find each other. The attraction they have for one another enrages their captor, putting their life in even more danger. They’re not the only prisoners longing to escape Lana’s wrath. On their journey to freedom they meet, Faede, Bruce and Cole; three unique beings who desire to be free. But if any of them plan to survive they must join forces. Even though their plan seems flawless everything falls apart when Lana proves to be stronger than they’d previously thought. Can their combined powers get them to safety?
You have to read the book to find out. J

To her dismay, sparks ignite between the two captives.

Carissa - A Witch on a Mission
Carissa is a Witch of the Silver Coven. Like all witches Carissa does not require food to stay alive. She lives off the emotions she siphons from others. Love, hate, pain, arousal and even depression can fuel her. Carissa is searching for her friend, Faede, who is rumored to have been captured my Lana and her men. Her only way into the prison is to allow herself to be captured and held prisoner like the rest of the captives. Once inside she realizes that this mission isn’t as easy as she thought it would be. She doesn’t plan on finding love but she can’t resist the attraction she feels for her fellow captive, Jude. She senses the desire raging through him and yearns to ease the tension coursing through his muscled body. However, their lust for one another angers Lana and can only lead to one thing…death for both her and Jude.

Faede – Witch/Chameleon
Faede is a witch of the silver coven but is also part chameleon and can blend in with her surroundings. She has the ability to see the future in her dreams but only bits and pieces. During one dream she sees her mate and that he is being held prisoner in the Dark Realm. Even though her coven is in turmoil she knows she must travel to the Dark Realm to find the man of her dreams, Bruce.

Bruce – Vampire/ Lana’s most trusted slave.
Bruce was captured by Lana and her brother and taken captive when he was a young boy. Over the years he has become Lana’s most trusted servant. Until a woman is captured who sets his blood on fire. His instincts tell him that this woman is his mate. Now that he has found her he will do everything within his power to keep her safe from Lana.
Cole – A cursed Vampire
Like Jude, Cole was also cursed by the Dark Witch. He can drink all the blood in the world but will never fill full until he finds his mate. Essentially he is slowly starving to death. The only thing that keeps him sane is sex. It calms the thirst that burns at the back of his throat, but it’s not enough, it’s never enough. 

With a cast of characters like these, how can you not fall in love with Lovers Unchained?



About the Author:
Hi, my name is Siren Allen. I’m a writer and lover of all things erotic and romantic. I reside in southern Mississippi where I write steamy romances that are guaranteed to make you blush. When I’m not listening to the characters in my head and jotting down their adventures, I am busy working as a Clinical Laboratory Technician.
I love to travel, preferably with my husband, so he can do all of the driving. I enjoy time with my family, who are just as silly as I am. I have no children…yet, wish me luck! My hobbies are reading, writing and shopping, though I hate trying on clothing. If I wasn’t a writer or a Laboratory Professional, I would probably be a Secret Agent. But that’s the beauty of being a writer; you can create your own world and be whoever you want to be. In my imaginary world, I am Queen and my siblings are my minions.

Book Description:
Maggie McCoy, bestselling author of romance, went to the Florida Keys for a much needed getaway to break the writer's block that was threatening her success. Her plans to be alone died the moment she met Jake Hatfield. He wound up to be too much of a distraction for serious minded Maggie.

She had never let her hair down before, but when she finally decides to, it leads her on a motorcycle ride through the land of paradise, an adventure at a full moon party and other trials as well. All she wanted to do was to create a best seller, not live it. There were never any plans to fall for a hot, sexy man in the middle of nowhere.

Interview

Have I always wanted to be a writer?

Yes, it all started in elementary school writing those silly poems. Then, it graduated to love poems in high school, you know the one's about the hot guy who never seemed to look your way. Even stepping away from writing for some time, Amazon made it easy to get back into it with self-publishing. I'm really happy now that I can write and have complete control. It's the ultimate writer's dream.


What would you say is the hardest part of being a writer?

The hardest part of being a writer for me is being consistent. My house is always open to my friends and family, so people are always stopping by to visit, which makes it hard to keep a schedule at times. I know it's important to write every day, but that doesn't always happen. Writing is something you have to work at just like anything else.


Do you have any writing rituals?

I don't really have any writing rituals. If you mean are there certain things that I do, the answer would be not really. I mean, I have to have quiet, so I try to write early in the morning, before my world is up and moving. That's the best time for me to put out my best. After that, I kind of just go with the flow.


What’s next for you?

 I think the next thing for me is to continue writing the Florida Keys Series. I just finished my second stand alone book, Nothing Waits Forever, the story about Jake's twin brother. I really enjoyed writing Jon's story, and am looking forward to a few more ideas I have for a third book set in Key West.


Is there anything you would like to say to your fans?

What would I like to say to my fans? I am truly grateful and feel blessed when anyone reads my books. Being a writer can be tough, because there is always rejection, but fans are the structure of everything a writer does. They are the reason for writing, because there is a story to tell that may bring some sunshine into a fan's world if just for a little while. That probably sounds corny but I love my fans! Don't be shy, come visit me and talk to me on face book and twitter.

Guest Post + Giveaway: Mike's Way Back by Amy Gregory





Title: Mike’s Way Back

Author: Amy Gregory

Release date: September 30th, 2013

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Tour: Irresistible Reads Book Tours


Book Description:

Detective Mike Sterling walked away from his dream job telling himself it was to honor the promise he’d made his mother, while lying in a Chicago emergency room. A year later, he’s still fighting the demons that followed him back to his boyhood town.
Taryn Watts is an award-winning designer, going from project to project, living from a suitcase. Her plan for Renlend Kansas was the same as always. Go in, get the job done and get out, just the way she likes it. Growing up as a cop’s daughter, her every move was controlled. When she escaped to college she vowed to never fall in love with a cop –ever. Until she found herself sitting across from the ruggedly handsome stranger. Looking into Mike’s ice blue eyes they pulled her, called to her, but there was a haunting in them she knew too well.
Mike is drawn to Taryn, her passion for her work and her stunning beauty left him breathless, but what surprises him most is the peace he feels when he’s near her. Maybe it’s because Taryn is a temporary addition to his town and his secret is safe, or maybe it’s because she makes him feel safe. Mike knows he can’t keep up this charade and when Taryn moves to Renlend for an extended stay he can’t hide the truth any longer.
Can Taryn forget he’s a cop and give him her heart, or will his demons drive them apart?

Guest Post

For me, it seems ideas for a story springboard from something else. Mike of course is Carter Sterling’s older brother from the Racing to Love series. However, I haven’t had a book yet that doesn’t have a song jump right out at me and say ‘hey, I belong to these characters’. I know some authors will compile a full playlist if you will that they use for inspiration. Again, for me it’s one, sometimes two songs that just seem to fit perfectly.
With Det. Michael Sterling, he was just at that point in his life, he was ready. And at that moment Luke Bryan’s .. Crash My Party hit the airwaves.  Oh my God, it was perfect! That is exactly where Mike is, he’s suddenly just taken with this woman and it doesn’t matter what he’s doing, he will drop it all if she’ll just look his way.
Crash My Party by Luke Bryan
If you wanna call me, call me, call me
You don't have to worry 'bout it baby
You can wake me up in the dead of the night
Wreck my plans, baby that's alright
This is a drop everything kinda thing
Swing on by, I'll pour you a drink
The door's unlocked, I'll leave on the lights
Baby you can crash my party anytime

            I mean seriously, just that portion alone says it in neon colors! Mike’s divorced, but not bitter, however, he’s attracted to a certain type of woman, and talk about finding a needle in a haystack. But hot damn, he’s found her and now, he can’t quit thinking about her. In every scene I heard this song in my head over and over. I watched the video and could see the story I was writing as clear as day.
Some people don’t believe in love at first sight, I however do. I also write love stories for a living so part of that is me and the magical part of believing in fairy tales I guess. I started having a hard time finding books that didn’t drag out so much angst that I would quit reading. I feel like reality is stressful enough, I want to dive into an escape that is happy, funny, sarcastic, cute, sexy and hot as hell all wrapped up in one. And sometimes, there’s a beautiful girl at the next table, just waiting to crash the party. All the guy has to do is smile.
