Happy Release Day to our good friend and author,
Laurie Olerich! We are so excited for the release of this
3rd book in the Demons After Dark series.
We love our Primani but these boys kick it up to a whole new level of heat! How about a couple of Excerpts!
Warning:
This story contains intensely hot sex, an irresistibly-damaged hero,
and a damsel with a steel backbone. Have a box of tissues handy. The
author takes no responsibility for missed work or grouchiness from
lack of sleep.
Excerpt
One:
“If
you take off the blindfold, you’ll never know what you’re capable
of.” He tapped her arm with something narrow, icy, and hard. “Feel
that? That’s my toy for tonight.” He skimmed it across her belly
and asked, “Does it scare you?”
Goosebumps
followed the cold, pebbling her skin. Her pulse soared. Her voice
turned breathless. “Yes.”
“It
should.” He leaned in, stroking her lips with the tip of his
tongue, licking at her, coaxing her to open for him. When she did, he
plunged his tongue into her mouth, stroking rhythmically until she
forgot all about fear. Breaking off the kiss, he gently caressed her
cheek with the toy.
She tensed up again, but he reclaimed her mouth in another blistering
kiss. Pulling away at last, he said, “I swear I won’t damage you.
Will you trust me, baby?”
“For
now.”
“Sit
back against the headboard, bend your legs and spread them wide.”
Her
new position drew the tiny thong through the center of her cleft,
digging into her delicate skin. She wriggled her ass to relieve the
pressure but only tightened it more.
The
bed shifted when he sat down beside her. The rough hair on his thighs
brushed her knees as he moved between them. He hesitated for so long
she began to squirm again. “What are you doing?” she asked,
turning her head left and right.
“Hold
very still.” Something sharp glided beneath her bra strap. A sudden
quick motion sent the strap falling down her arm. The toy was
a
blade. Her breath caught with a whimper. He chuckled softly and drew
the cold metal across her breasts to the other bra strap. It fell
too.
She
jumped and a sharp point pricked her skin. She froze with a shocked
gasp. She squeezed her eyes closed behind the blindfold and waited
for fear to kick in, but it didn’t. Her heart pounded madly. Her
breath came in pants. She wasn’t afraid at all. She was more
aroused than she’d ever been.
Excerpt
Two:
“Yo,
asshole! Let her go!” Koivu roared. He helped the guy let go of
Micki by twisting his arm behind his back like a chicken wing.
Walking him towards the exit, he missed the door and
accidently-on-purpose slammed the guy’s face into the doorjamb once
or maybe twice or possibly three times before his nose decided to
bleed and Micki started shrieking in his ear.
“Koivu!
Stop it!” She tugged on his arm, her delicate hands barely
noticeable. “You’re hurting him!”
“And?”
he asked. What was her point? “He was hurting you. It seems fair.”
The
guy—whatever his name was—was busy trying to twist out of Koivu’s
hold without breaking his own arm. Koivu simply jacked his elbow a
bit higher and the struggles stopped.
She
threw up her hands in exasperation and cried hoarsely, “Let him go!
I just want him to leave. Okay?”
“You
sound terrible. Didn’t the doctor tell you to take it easy today?
Yelling your head off can’t be helping your sore throat.” He felt
compelled to point that out since she wasn’t following the doctor’s
orders.
The
guy turned his head in her direction and restarted the argument Koivu
heard through the door. “Is this him? Is this the guy you’re
fucking?”
“And
what if he is? It’s none of your damn business, Jake. You’ve got
your life and I’ve got mine. Just stay away.” She blinked back
tears and pointed at the door. “Please. Just stay away.”
Jake
opened his trap to say something else, but Koivu was fresh out of
interest. Micki was trying to keep it together, but she was shaking
like a leaf, and he’d seen the tears she tried to hide. Time to end
this bullshit. He jerked Jake around and shoved him through the open
doorway onto the front porch. Before he dumped him into the yard, he
bent closer to warn, “Come near my girl again and I’ll break you
in half. Understand?”
I had a chance to check this book out before it's release and I am here to tell you that you are in for a real treat. Having read the other two books in the series, I already had an affinity for Koivu, he is a overtly sexual and very sexy former demon who has a wicked sense of humor and a smoking hot body too! What's not to love, right? So I was very excited to get his story.
There is so much more to Koivu than meets the eye. In hell he was a playboy MMA legend but on earth, he is a human who looks forward to going back. When he suffers a shoulder injury, he goes to Micki for physical therapy and the attraction is instant and undeniable. Now how does he get her in his bed?
Micki, Dr. Micki Glass that is, does her level best to keep it strictly professional. She has come off of a bad relationship and doesn't want to get hurt again, and she is his therapist. Some lines you just shouldn't cross, or should you?
This book moves really fast and it has tons of interesting twists and turns. You can't help but love Koivu and you root for him and Micki throughout. You are going to love this book!
