10 Reasons You Just Might Love 

Seduced by the Vampire King

I’m thrilled to be celebrating my release day for Seduced by the Vampire King, the second in my dark paranormal romance Vampire Warrior Kings series, here at Book Monsters! I’ve got a yummy excerpt for you down below, but first ten reasons I think you just might love my new book:

Vampires – They’re my first love as a reader and a writer. How can you go wrong with hot vampires? I just love everything about them. Their fangs, their dark natures, the way they need blood and sex together, their fierce protectiveness, their supernatural powers. Yeah, you can’t go wrong with hot vampires! *grins*

Dungeon Sex – Bars on the door. Rough-hewn stone walls. Security camera in the ceiling. Seriously hot out-of-control moment for the king and his, er, prisoner…

Russia – On the other side of the world, with a very different language and a long-standing rivalry, Russia is at once familiar and exotic. And there is so much that’s iconic about Russia—from St. Basil’s Cathedral, which is on the cover of the book, to the incredibly hard winters, it was a great place to imagine vampires living and set a story.

Abandoned Castles – Russia is filled with probably thousands of abandoned historical sites, including hundreds of enormous, formerly glorious castles and mansions. Seduced is set at one of them—a huge manse called Vasilievskoe. I think the setting is so gorgeous and haunting and gothic. Love it!

Hot Fantasies – If you like your stories a little spicy, this one will give you a taste for enemies-to-lovers, jailer-prisoner, and voyeuristic fantasies. Dee-lish.

Strong Heroine – Need proof that Katherine Bordessa is a strong, even kick-ass, heroine? How ‘bout this: she uses her body to save the king’s life, fights off a group of vampire attackers who try to take the king, and holds her shit together after being kidnapped and held captive in a dungeon. I think that deserves some major props.

Royalty – The hero’s rank and position as King of the Russian Vampires is almost an aphrodisiac in itself. Am I right? Or am I right?

Warriors – And if you like your men a little rougher, tougher, or tattooed – this story’s got ‘em, in spades. The book opens with King Nikolai Vasilyev in the middle of an urban warfare scene, so you get to see him in action! Ahem.

Alpha Heroes – Nikolai is a bad-ass, take-charge, no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoner kinda guy, which means the way the heroine tempts him pisses him off to no end. And don’t you just love seeing an alpha hero finally give in to what he wants?

Tortured Heroes – Nikolai is so full of guilt and self-loathing over the deaths of his brothers, he refuses to rule as king. And watching him finally give in to even a little bit of comfort and solace in the heroine’s arms is just wonderful!

Seduced by the Vampire King:

Book 2: Vampire Warrior Kings Series

American exchange student Kate Bordessa has fled to Russia to escape her family's hopes that she'll become one of the Proffered, human women who feed and mate with elite vampire warriors. But when she stumbles upon a wounded vampire in the streets of Moscow, she's instinctively driven to protect him--and feels an undeniable spark of desire.

Grieving over the deaths of his brothers, Vampire Warrior King Nikolai Vasilyev has thrown himself into battling his enemies, focused only on vengeance. Until the attack that brought him to Kate. Their sexual attraction explodes into a night of uncontrolled passion--a night that marks them as mates. Is their connection strong enough to convince them to embrace a destiny neither of them was expecting?

EXCERPT:

Kate was adrift in sensation. She felt engulfed by the heat rolling off Nikolai’s big body, which was hunched around her possessively. His hard muscles flexed and bunched against her, setting her on fire everywhere they touched. His warm, spicy smell invaded her brain until it was the only thing she knew. His tongue in her mouth, his hands all over her—she couldn’t fight it.

In truth, she didn’t want to.

Earlier, when it seemed he planned to kiss her, she’d resisted the idea, kept her body from succumbing to the instinctual pull and leaning toward his. But now, even though he represented everything she’d never wanted, she could no longer deny that something about him spoke to her body, her psyche, her very soul. She was totally and completely seduced by her vampire.

A groan sounded from deep in his throat, conveying pure, desperate need, and he pressed harder into her. Against her back, the iron bars formed an inescapable cage. In front of her, his body towered over and confined her, emphasizing the thick ridge of his erection straining against her belly.

She’d never felt more free than she did in that moment, utterly trapped by Nikolai.

And if his preternatural power wasn’t prominent enough in the sheer strength of his body around hers, the hard edges of his fangs against her lips and tongue wouldn’t let her forget it. Fascinated despite herself, she wrapped her tongue around a fang and flicked at it. Nikolai growled and ground the steel length of his cock into her hip.

Kate went hot and wet between her legs, completely overwhelmed by her body’s ecstatic reaction to his. Never had she imagined she’d be capable of such euphoria. She’d certainly never felt it before. Maybe she wouldn’t again. The thought unleashed a current of panic into the lust flowing through her, because what she was feeling for Nikolai was so much more than physical.

Her heart tripped over the pain he seemed to carry in the cast of his eyes and the set of his shoulders. He unleashed every protective and nurturing instinct in her body—she wanted to be the one to take away whatever hurt him, or to comfort him, at the very least. And there was absolutely no denying that all the angst and restlessness that had been making her feel unsettled in her skin lately, that had been getting worse and worse these past weeks, mostly disappeared in his presence.

There was no refuting the physical attraction, either. As close as they were, it was miles too far apart. She embraced his big shoulders, pulling, tugging, needing him closer. Her body remembered her unfulfilled need from the night before, spiking her arousal and creating an urgent ache between her legs. God, she wanted him…wanted him…in her.

Her hands fell to his waist and gripped at the fabric of his tee, burrowing under. His skin was warm and smooth over hard, flexing muscles. She pushed the shirt higher, needing to feel more, explore more, to know if he was this amazing everywhere.

Abruptly, Nikolai wrenched back from the kiss, and he looked every bit of the creature he was. Lips red, mouth open, fangs protruding, eyes aglow. Unease flared in her stomach. He was going to pull away. Like before. She dug her nails into his sides, willing him to stay.

So, did I convince you to fall in love? If so, tell me what cinched the deal! *grins* Oh, and I’m offering a GIVEAWAY! – one commenter who leaves their email address will win an ebook of Seduced by the Vampire King! Good luck!

And thanks for reading!
