Beguiling: Who knew hate could be so hot?


Beguiling
The Tempting Series
by Alex Lucian



Hate: to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward.

Scarlet Jennings, the preacher’s daughter who lived across the street, was a royal, uptight pain in my ass. When she looked at me, she saw a college quarterback asshole with rocks for brains, but she didn’t have a single word for what was happening between us.

When we were forced to ride together every single day that summer, there was definitely some dislike going on. Extreme hostility was a given, considering that we were spending so much time together in close quarters.  
One night of bed-breaking, body-shattering, lose-your-voice-from-screaming passion had surprised us both, but it was only just the beginning...


Review by pearls
When two people who hate one another are forced to spend time together, sparks are going to fly.  At first, it was the sparks from her eyes.  But once he finds her bucket list and proceeds to help her fill it, the sparks begin to fly in the bedroom too.  A warm, fuzzy story with lots of steam about enemies to lovers and seeing the world through someone else's eyes.

FIVE STARS: “A wide range of emotions as these raw characters steal our hearts with their own personal journey of finding love once again.” –4 Chicks Flipping Pages

" ONE TO TAKE is packed with humor, heartbreak, suspense, and a whole lot of sexy. Five Stars all day long!" -Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal Best-selling Author


Review by pearls

We enter the story to find a happily engaged couple on vacation at the family ranch.  Their love and passion for one another is obvious.  Afraid to rock the boat, they have communication problems which lead to misunderstandings.  So sure of their rightness as a couple, when troubles begin, each individually begins to question his and her own life.  While heartbreaking, the separation will eventually make them stronger as individuals and as a couple.  Their support network is fabulous.  The wild horses creates a wonderful analogy of their relationship.  A great addition to the series.

ONE TO TAKE

~ Stuart ~
 When we reach the clump of small trees near the bank, I leave Cheyenne’s reins loose on a scrub bush, but I have to tie Freckles to a branch. I don’t usually tie the horses, but she’s so flighty. I don’t want to have to tell Bill she ran away again—with all his tack.
 Mariska takes off with a shriek. “Last one in is a rotten egg!”
 Freckles dances in place, but I can’t help a laugh as I watch my fiancée stripping off her top and tossing it aside followed quickly by her bra. Her black mini is next, and in a flash of golden skin and wild chestnut hair she cannonballs into the water, creating a huge splash.
 Since I’m clearly the rotten egg in this scenario, I take my time removing my boots and hat and leaving them by the horses. I asked Winona to pack us a snack just in case, and I take the towel off the back of my saddle.
 Leaving my shirt with my boots, I walk out onto the weathered wooden pier, collecting discarded items of clothing as I go. Mariska is in the center of the lake dog paddling around.
 “It’s so warm!” she calls out. “It was like ice last winter.”
 “It was probably about to freeze before the Chinook blew in.”
 “What are you waiting for? Get in!” She swims toward the end of the pier and holds the posts as she waits.
 I can’t help smiling down at her. Her face is glowing, and she’s so damn happy. What happened earlier today seems far away. “Give me a second.”
 Shrugging out of my jeans, I toss them aside and do a shallow-dive into the warm water. Mariska is on me in a second.
 “You went commando!” Her bare breasts pressing against my chest cause a definite rise down below.
 “We’re on vacation.”
 “I wish that worked with bras.”
 “You won’t hear me complaining.” I cup her breasts, rolling her nipples between my fingers and thumbs, watching her eyes darken.
 Her slim hands cover mine, threading our fingers and pulling them away. “Hang on, I want to talk first.”
 I do a little growl, wrapping our laced hands around her waist and drawing her flush against me. “Talk second.”
 She giggles and chases my lips with hers. Our mouths unite and a little moan tells me all I need to know. Unfastening our fingers, I cup her ass, sliding her up over my waist, I position my head at her entrance, and in a stomach-tingling thrust, we’re together.
 Sighs and moans are the only noise surrounding us. We rock together, her soft meeting my hard. In all my life, I’ve only had this with her. I’ve been with other women—some I remember better than others—but it’s not about that. It’s about us, how we complete each other.
 I touch her, and she moans. I kiss that little spot behind her ear, and she shivers. She touches me, and my brow feels tight. I can’t think beyond needing her, possessing her, loving her, protecting her.
 “Mariska,” I exhale through the pulses of my orgasm. Her slim hands hold my face as our mouths fuse together. Her knees are bent, legs tight around my waist, and I’m deep inside her.
 She sighs, and I kiss her again, giving her tongue a suck. Her inner muscles clench, drawing another pulse from me, and I groan. We hold each other so close. Her soft breasts are crushed against my chest, and our bodies touch from face to chest to thigh.
 Her lips taste like the fresh water of the lake. I hold her to me, thinking beneath her softness is our baby. The baby we made.
 “I love you so much.” I almost sound angry, but shit, it’s only because I mean the words so fiercely.
 She exhales a laugh, kissing my chin. “Always so serious. Have I told you how much I love you, my sexy Marine?”
I’m not sure the emotions in my chest can get any tighter. I don’t know the words for how I’m feeling. I’ve never been much for words. Action is what I’m about.

Bianca D'Arc talks about the inspiration behind Alpha Bear

Alpha Bear
a Grizzly Cove novel
by Bianca D'Arc
a Paranormal Romance


Guest Post

 Why Write Shifters?
The Inspiration Behind Alpha Bear

by Bianca D’Arc


Shifters as romantic heroes and heroines have really come into their own in the past ten years or so. Coincidentally—or, perhaps not so much—my first book was published 10 years ago this past Valentine’s Day. My first writing contract was for a vampire short story, but as it happened, the first book to make it to publication was a dragon book. I wrote the vampire story for a contest and was really surprised when they offered me a contract! But I didn’t want to just write vampires. At that point, vampires were old news and I was looking for ways to expand my paranormal world beyond what was accepted at the time.

Shifters were my natural choice. I wrote werewolves at first, but I couldn’t resist adding a werebear character even way back in 2006. His name was Rocco Garibaldi—Rocky for short—and the joke going around was that he must be a wereracoon with a name like Rocky. But no. He was a bear. A grizzly. And I found I had so much fun writing his character that I eventually gave him his own book.

Why are bears so much fun to write?

Well…they’re big. They’re growly. Furry and cuddly—sort of. They’re strong and powerful, and when you see one, you get a little thrill of excitement—or fear, depending on how close it is to you. Kind of like a handsome man, in a lot of ways.

Bears are slow moving and laid back until they get angry, and then it’s sorta like the Incredible Hulk wearing a fur coat. Badass bear with big freaking claws and sharp teeth. Where wolves are playful and quick, bears are dependable and steady. Their appeal is slightly different from the sexy, bad boy werewolves, but every bit as alluring.

It seems only natural to me that bear shifters are making a splash in romance right now. My long-running paranormal series branched out in years past to include the Redstone Clan of cougar shifters, a group of ex-mercenary werewolves, tiger and panther shifters, and a number of different vampires thrown in for good measure, but I’ve circled back around to bears again, and it feels…right.

Grizzly Cove is a social experiment being conducted by the Alpha Bear, John Marshall, and his crew of ex-military werebears. They want nothing more than to settle down in a quiet spot on the Washington coast and build their own little town where bears can be bears. But fate has other ideas, and all sorts of supernatural Others begin to show up.

I like mixing it up with different kinds of bears, and different kinds of women to be their mates. The Alpha Bear will find himself entangled with a witch. Not all the women in this series are magical, but for this story, and this particular werebear, we needed a badass mate who could hold her own with the strongest of the strong.

Grizzlies dominate in Grizzly Cove, of course, but there are a few notable exceptions of black bears and Kodiak bears. Not to mention the town’s single polar bear, and the female panda and her adorable toddler.

The one thing they all have in common is what I call the fierce factor. They are brawny and cunning in their fur, but when they shapeshift into their human halves, they are H-O-T. Muscular, strong and with sharper senses than mere mortals, they are on the hunt for the perfect mate to complete them.

So, the simple answer to what inspired Alpha Bear and the entire Grizzly Cove series, is that I wanted to get back to basics with a crew of shifters that were just trying to find a peaceful place of their own making, to live in and raise a family. They may wind up getting dragged into the bigger conflicts in the world through the series, but there’s always that safe place—Grizzly Cove—to go back to when the battle is over, and the loving mates they find along the way. Isn’t that, basically, what most of us look for in our own lives? Love, and a safe and happy place to live are among the most important things to me, and, I suspect, a lot of other people in the world.

I hope you enjoy your visit to Grizzly Cove!
YouTube Trailer:




Synopsis:
A man with a plan…

John is the Alpha bear of Grizzly Cove, a town built to his own design, made up mostly of bear shifters. He brought them all together, so it’s on him when the community comes under attack.

A woman of power…

Ursula is more than she appears, and when her secret comes out, she’s afraid the shifters aren’t going to take it well, but John surprises her. He needs her help to combat the evil targeting the town, but there seems to be more to their relationship.

A battle to the death…

When evil attacks from the ocean, can John afford not to utilize Urse’s skills to protect the town and people in it? Better still, can John reconcile his inner bear’s demand that she is his mate, with his lifelong dream of leading his people into a new way of living—in a town built just for them? Or will he have to give up Grizzly Cove in order to keep the woman he loves?
