Burned in Shadows Spotlight~Excerpt~Review


PARANORMAL ROMANCE - EROTICA
DATE PUBLISHED: 7/30/2013
Royce Zarides has accepted his hand dealt by fate. He's loved and left far too many women. In the bedroom that is. But one kiss from Belinda Raine Ignis was all it took for his eyes to open. Is she really the woman meant for him and his brother Ronin? Or will history only repeat itself? That's the million dollar question he doesn't want to answer.

Ronin does not believe that Belinda is for him and his brother. But one night with her isn't enough. Even when he sees her for who and what she really is, Ronin still has a hard time expressing his emotions where Belinda is concerned, and time is running out now that she's to ascend to the status of Matria of the Phoenix Enclave.

Belinda (Bells) Ignis is good at ignoring men. She's had her share of heartache. Jilted at the altar by her first love, she's sworn all men off for good. Her mother and Matria of her community has other plans in mind, as well as the Zarides brothers. When faced with the heated glances of Ronin and the smooth tongue of Royce, what's a girl to do?

The clock is ticking down for certain members of the Shadow Unit. Draven assumed dead, leaves a sour taste in every ones mouth. Jes' new found abilities make for a great addition to the team. But when things seem to settle, they only get worse, as the team sets out to discover the origins of Mr. Black and the notorious Red Sun Organization. Secrets are uncovered and deals are made that result in a deadly blow to all involved

“Again.” Royce’s voice was hard as Jes got into stance. It was funny watching her friend practice with the twins. Jesminda Zealand was no longer human, and it showed. A large smile spread wide across Belinda’s lips. Her girl was bad-ass. Ronin charged from one end of the training room and Royce from the other. The grace of her movements was envious as she threw her entire body into a sprint and quickly dropped to her knees sliding under both men’s swords as they swung in unison. Her body was stronger, leaner and harder edged. Every move she made was precise and timed perfectly. She’d picked up fast on the training, and it seemed her body was shaped for fighting. It’d be her turn next, and she was ready to hand both men their balls. They’d been riding her for over a week. Ronin was always up front with his intentions, but his twin Royce was a different story. She couldn’t figure them out. It seemed she was just another conquest. Ronin approached her first and then Royce, with his never ending sarcastic remarks and movie quotes. Should she give in? No, you can’t. You’re the next heir in line. Mother would die of embarrassment.
The sounds of grunts and fists connecting to skin brought Bells out of her thoughts. Jes’ hand connected to Royce’s jaw, her punch was powerful enough to snap his head back. Ronin simultaneously connected to her gut. In slow motion, it would have been comical. Jes hitting Royce, Ronin hitting her. Her friend doubled over and stumbled back, but Ronin moved forward. She’d made tremendous progress over the last six weeks and still managed to stump them all with her astonishing new abilities.
“Fuck!”
“Don’t drop your guard Jes, never assume your opponent will give you that momentary breath you may need to use for your second wind.”
Jes was doubled over, sucking in large gulps of air and Bells almost went to comfort her, almost. Ronin walked closer. Jes’ hands tightened on her knees as she sucked in more air. Bells felt her friend’s anger rising like a tidal wave. Any moment she would come crashing down. Hard. Ronin placed a hand on her back as a comforting gesture. It was strange to see him being so warm and accommodating. When Ronin’s hand landed lightly on Jes’ shoulder, her head shot up. She used the balls of her feet to progress her upward movement. The sound of her head connecting with his chin was dull. It was the sound of his teeth clacking together that gave everyone pause. Did she shatter them?

 
About the Author
There is really not much to say... I love to write, read, and listen to music. My attempt at a music career sadly ended at the Apollo one warm night in May! LOL (Side note: I was not booed just outdone by two munchkins rapping to Biggy Smalls but they were good!)

Military brat extraordinaire; have traveled to a lot of interesting places. 

The very first time I put pen to paper in story fashion, was in 6th grade. It was called The Case of the Missing Pepperoni. 
It was a cute mystery where all the ingredients and shop appliances came to life when the store owner closed up for the evening.

Enslaved in Shadows
Favorite Lines “Her body called to his and Draven was more than ready to answer. No names, just raw, carnal matting. Hard. Fast. Dirty.”
 
“Vampires were born, not infected with some virus or curse. There was no such thing as a bite turning you fangy. That shit only happened in movies.”
 
“You and your daughter. I want us to be a family. My scent is strong on the both of you. I don’t understand how. I don't even know what it means. All I know is I can’t live another day without knowing it’s you I will come home to”
 
“Give me time.” She answered burying her head in his neck.
“You have all my time. But by the time you have it all figured out we’ll be on cub number three.”
 
“Things between them would never be over. Never. Faith brought her back her peace for now”
 
Oh no! I'm still crying from this ending!
Let me go back to beginning, the book starts with some oh so hot loving between a sexy no name man and Jesminda. Then on next chapter it's 5 yrs later and the no name man is actually Draven from the Shadow Unit. He's been given a new assignment and it's Jes! He can't believe it! He has dreamed of her every night of the five yrs since they met. 
Jes can't believe he's here and he's suppose to protect her from her crazy ex who's been capturing vamps and selling there blood. 
Draven has always known that his wolf wanted Jes but now he wants her too! He will have her in his life! 
In walks the most adorable little 5 yr old girl faith she walks right up to Draven and says we are the same. Jes can't breathe while watching her with Draven. He can smell his scent on her! He does t know why he doesn't care this is his family! 
Then jesters kidnapped by Marcus and they do unspeakable things to her! Draven can't lose her again! He goes after her... I won't say what happen but OMG!
What a funny, emotional, sexy, OMG book! This shadow unit is going to be a good series I just know it is!

FIVE MATED FAIRIES
 
 

Burned in Shadows
Favorite Lines “The pain was too much for her to do anything but lay broken against the wall. Was this all her fault? Had her rejection and not being able to tell him how she genuinely felt caused this?”
 
“Could she take on an entire organization to retrieve the man that belonged to her for all eternity? Could she bring Faith’s father home?”
 
“Belinda lifted her face to meet his and what she saw took everything she ever knew about relationships to a whole new level.”
 
“The feeling of being filled, possessed but cherished brought tears to her eyes.”
 
“Your daughter needs her father.” Jes said into the darkness. “I need you. Your team needs you Stone.”
 
“We’ll bump heads a lot in the future, I’m high maintenance, but I love you both. Anything that’s happened in the past is in the past. You want to talk about it, I’m here to listen. If you feel it’s not worth having a conversation over because you’re past all the bullshit. Then we don’t talk about it. But we will do whatever this thing is we have, together.”
 
“Sounds like a plan. But I gotta love you hard again, baby. Show you how much I love you. How hard I’ll love you in life and in this bed. Nothing is ever finished.”
 
“I love you with everything that I am Deva. You hold the best part of me.”
 
The book help so much! So much raw emotion, heartache, love, life, betrayal, and yumminess!
Not only does it show what Jes is going through to get Draven back but also how Bells, Royce, and Ronin finally admit what the have! I always love to watch when people realize how they feel about each other and OMG those three coming together is EXPLOSIVE! Bells is a Phoenix. Soon to be head of the enclave, she knows she can only be with her consort after she is reborn but what if the brothers are something more? The brothers are still broken from when they thought a human was there mate. The both want Bells! Something fiercely! 
 The Red Dawn has Draven in a way that is breaking Jes's heart! She will do anything to get him back! Including becoming a different person! Wow right!? 
Ever since Red Dawn tortured her and did something to her she's no longer human, she's something else. No one knows what but she has some kick ass abilities now! 
No one in the Shadow Unit is what the seem! They all our something more! There amazing!
The ending left the door open for MUCH more and I CAN'T wait to see what comes next!
Great story! As always this author creates an amazing story!
