Please welcome my guest blogger today, Abbie Carlisle with LUCIAN'S TEMPTATION.
Blurb:
As a lord of The Mist, Lucian Dark’s only
concern is to keep The Order safe. His life is controlled, and a female would
be a distraction he neither wants, nor needs. Meeting Amy, she tempts his
control, and his mind becomes consumed with finding out who she really is. Will
he reject her once he knows the secret she’s been hiding?
After losing her mom, Amy Jackson has moved to
Portland to rebuild her life. Fearing the past, she’s had no other option than
to hide her true identity. When the handsome Lucian almost runs her down, she
knows she can’t allow him to protect her, but can she keep away from him? Will
her secret destroy their path to true happiness?
As Harvey continues his war against the Order,
can Amy protect the male who can give her her freedom, the one thing she truly
desires?

Story
Excerpt:
Her eyes opening shocked
him. Lucian stood rapidly and darted to the doorway, hoping his speed had
stopped her from seeing him. He sped into the living area and headed to the
front door. Amy’s voice ground him to a halt before he reached it.
“What the hell are you
doing inside my apartment?” she asked angrily.
Lucian turned. How had
she gotten to the entrance hall so quickly? His speed was unmatched, and there
was no way she could have gotten out of bed and walked there as quickly as he’d
moved. Lucian saw the anger in her expression. He winced.
“I’m sorry. I….”
“Don’t. Just don’t.
First you try and kill me. Then you all but drag me from the club. What am I?
Some kind of obsession for you? What next? Strangle me while I sleep. Get out!”
“Amy. Please. I don’t
want to hurt you. I came here to help protect you,” Lucian said, hoping more
than anything their confrontation hadn’t woken her friend.
“You broke into my
apartment. For all I know, you could be some kind of serial killer. Get out
before I call the police,” Amy demanded.
“Amy. Please don’t be
afraid… I,” Lucian said, taking a step closer to her.
Amy step backward. Her
gazed bored straight into him, and if it were laced with poison, he’d be dead
where he stood.
“Afraid. I’m not afraid.
I’m damn well livid. How do you know my name? Why are you following me?” Amy
asked.
Lucian glanced down at
her hands. They were clasped tight enough for her knuckles to glare white. It
was another visual sign of her anger toward him. “My name is Lucian Dark. I
didn’t mean to break in, but you need to come with me. The males who were at
the club want to take you. I want to help keep you safe,” he explained quickly.
He watched Amy’s
reaction closely. Her defiant stance was unmoving, and she was good at guarding
her emotions.
“I don’t care who you
are. You broke into my apartment, so ‘didn’t mean to’ isn’t quite the truth, is
it? I want you to leave me alone. I’m not going anywhere with you, and I don’t
need anyone to keep me safe. I asked you to leave,” Amy said, more calmly.
“You don’t understand…,”
Lucian began.
“No. You don’t
understand. I don’t need anyone’s help. You appeared to deal with those males
effectively. Go do whatever it is you do and leave me the hell alone,” she
said.
Lucian watched the
female take a step backward. He frowned. “You know who I am, don’t you?”
“I know what you are.
For all I know you could be working with them. You best leave,” Amy said.
“I’m not going anywhere.
I have nothing to do with those males. Do you know who they are?” Lucian asked,
taking a step forward.
“No.”
Lucian sensed Amy knew
exactly who the males at the club were. She had no intention of revealing
anything. She was still obviously angry, but at least her tone had calmed.
Maybe she would allow him to speak to her. Maybe, just maybe, he had a chance
at convincing her to go with them.

Before he could answer,
Lucian’s control broke. He reached forward and pressed his body against her.
Her skin felt smooth and delicious against his, and his lust for her soared
through him. Her full, rounded breasts contained in her swimsuit pressed
against his chest muscles, and it caused a frenzy of desire to run through his
veins. He took her head in one of his hands and pressed his lips against hers.
If it wasn’t for the water cooling his skin, he would have caught fire at the
sensation of her mouth opening up to him. She didn’t falter, but took him willingly.
Her sweet taste was delicious as he explored her mouth with his tongue, and her
reaction to him was just as passionate. He took every desire of his mate
straight to his heart.
Her arms around his body
pulled him closer. He felt her legs wrap around his waist, and his dick
throbbed to be inside her. He knew she’d be able to feel his hard shaft against
her clit, and he circled his hips, losing himself in the growing desire to shed
her of the suit that was stopping him from feeling more of her body. She was
responding to his need as desperately as he was, and he deepened the kiss,
groaning deeply in his chest. She was possessing every emotion inside him. With
her, he could feel again, and it was both scary and exhilarating. He couldn’t
stop even if the whole place caught fire. She felt right in his arms, and he
knew he’d never be able to let her go. He just hoped she felt the same way.

Q&A:
Q. Please tell us about your latest book.
A. This book delves into the
life of Lucian, one of the lords of the Mist. He meets Amy Jackson and becomes
obsessed with who she really is. She’d hiding something, and doesn’t want to
put others at risk but he knows he has to do everything he can to protect her.
Will he reject her when he finds out the truth?
This book was so much fun to
write. Amy’s character is defiant and strong willed, and it was so enjoyable
writing the scenes of her and Lucian’s confrontations. They are battling between
desire for each other, and at the same time keeping themselves from getting
involved. I found balancing their love for each other, and their desire to deny
their future, a challenge.
Q. How do we find out about you and your books?
A. All my books can be found on my
website - abbiecarlisle.weebly.com

Goodreads - http://www.goodreads.com/Abbie_Carlisle
Q. Why did you decide to write romance novels?
A. I’ve read paranormal
romance books for years after being introduced to them by my twin sister. I
especially love Laurann Dohner books and decided one day to put my ideas down
on paper. Once I started to write, it was like a buzz that I couldn’t stop
until I had finished my first book. Now I’ve just submitted my 6th
and my love of writing is still as strong.
Q. How much of your personality and life experiences are in your
writing?
A. Writing paranormal
genre allows you to put in some personal life experiences but it can also allow
you the freedom to be creative. I love being able to create personalities for
characters that are fun and interesting but also dark and mysterious.
Q. Do you have a set schedule for writing or do you just go with the
flow?
A. I don’t have a schedule
as such, I just write whenever I get the chance. In between family and work, I
usually get to write at the end of the day when it’s peaceful.
Q. What do you do to relax and recharge your batteries?
A. I love to relax by
reading my Kindle where I have lots of my favourite author’s books. I usually
start reading and keep going until I’ve read the whole series.
Q. Do you feel humour is important in women's fiction and why?
A. I feel it’s important
for readers to relate to the characters in the book and humour is a good way to
create enjoyment. If a character is cheeky or sarcastic, in a nice way, what
better way to engage a reader and make them want to know more about the
characters.
Q. What are your thoughts on love
scenes in romance novels, do you find them difficult to write?
A. I don’t find them too
difficult to write. Sometimes I need to edit to ensure I don’t make them too
long or repetitive. I always try to make them different so the readers are not
reading the same words or sentences over and over. I make them emotionally
descriptive to help the readers sense the passion.
Q. What kind of research do you do?
A. I research a lot on settings and characters visually to help my
writing to be more descriptive. I find this helps the readers to really
visualize as they read.
Q. Do you have a favorite author? Favorite book?
A. My favourite author is
Laurann Dohner and my favourite book is Braun. She is an amazing author and is
able to create emotionally intense scenes of possession but can also make you
laugh. Her characters are interesting and powerful which makes her stories fun
to read.
Q. Have you always wanted to be a writer?
A. I have always enjoyed reading but never thought
of myself as a writer. Now I have written 6 novels, I can never imagine not
wanting to ever stop writing now.
Q. How many books have you written, and how many of those have been
published?
A. I’ve written 6 books and they have been published
straight away. I’m hoping the following books in the series will also have the
privilege of being published.
Q. Have you experienced writer's block---> If so, how did you work
through it?
A. I have hit writer’s block in the middle of the
books. I left them for a few days and returned to them. I re-read a few
chapters and find things that didn’t sound right and this helped me move
forward with the stories.
Q. What is the most rewarding thing about being a writer?
A. Completing a book full of fun, love and intense
desire is exciting. Being able to give readers enjoyment from reading a great
story is immensely rewarding.
Q. Are there any words of encouragement for unpublished writers?
A. Don’t ever give up. Sometimes it’s difficult but
believe in the ideas you have. If you love it, others will too. Join readers
groups, it’s a great way to interact and get ideas and support.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Abbie. :)
