Being a descendant of a fallen angel, nephilim Malachi
Starkman, is all about his duty in protecting mankind and preventing Satan’s
army from growing any further. He leads a squad of talented warriors on this
quest to preserve humanity, but as leader, he feels every aspect is his
responsibility. After centuries of fighting, he is starting to feel burned out,
and wondering if this is his sole purpose on Earth.
Local teacher, Trinity Bradshaw, has been trying to move
on from her turbulent past but it doesn’t seem to want to let her go.
Therefore, when a deliciously handsome man with alluring eyes says he wants to
help her, she cannot say no. So many obstacles stand between the two, but
neither of them seem to be able to walk away from the other. Will they find
common ground or will she just be a liability in his quest to destroy the one
that has plagued him for years?

Describe your books in 3 words? Wow, right off the bat, huh?
lol Okay…Exhilarating, Intriguing, &
Sexy.
If you could be any character from
one of your books who would it be? Victoria (aka.. Tori) She has the
sexy, rough and tough exterior where nothing fazes her, but a delicate
vulnerability on the inside that only the closest people to her can see.
What is your greatest fear about
being an author/publishing your book(s)?
That’s easy; that no
one will like the writing that I choose to share. With every piece of writing that an author
puts out there for people to see, they give a piece of themselves with it. It makes us very vulnerable.
Would the 10 year-old version of
yourself kick your butt or praise you for what you've accomplished in life? When I was 10, I felt like the world
was at my fingertips, and I knew that I could be anything I wanted to be. I remember wanting desperately to be a
waitress, thinking that it was amazing how they could balance the large trays
of food on one hand. Well, I was never a
waitress, but my 10 year old self also knew she wanted a loving family, and I
now have that in abundance. Personally,
I think she would praise me for my accomplishments and love the fact that I am
finally writing down all the stories that are coming to life in our head. They were there, even at 10, but only in my
daydreams.
What is your favorite Genre and why?
Romance… no question about it. It doesn’t matter if it’s historical,
paranormal, contemporary, etc… add some suspense, maybe some action or mystery,
and those are my favorites.
What is one thing that would
surprise us to know about you? I’m pretty easy to read, and an open
book if someone doesn’t know something, so this is hard. Okay, here it goes… time to spill. I am a horrible speller. If it wasn’t for spell check and auto correct
on my phone, everyone would know my little secret. J I
have had to delete and redo posts and tweets that I sent out from my computer
that contained a spelling error. lol If
that’s not what you were looking for, I also dance around my house to hold
music on the telephone. J
Was there an Author who inspired you
to write? I don’t know that
there was a specific author that inspired me to write, but I can say that it
wasn’t until I read Lisa Kleypas that I started to make up stories about her
sub characters. She was the first author
that I read and introduced other characters, who would later have stories of
their own. I found myself creating their
stories. After thinking up enough
stories that didn’t come to fruition, I decided to make them happen on my
own.
How did you come up with the
characters in your books? It might sound weird, but I get a
lot of my book ideas from my daydreams or even dreams while I’m asleep. At one time or another, I have dreamt up my
characters, and if their personality was strong enough, they stuck. I constantly joke about the voices in my head
begging to be created inside a story.
Do you prefer to write alone or do
you like to collaborate with other authors?
Usually, I prefer to
write alone, but if I’m indecisive about an aspect in the story, I have a few
different people to ask opinions from.
Everyone uses computers, tablets,
phones and no one uses handwritten form or typewriters, what do you prefer to
use? My laptop is a dear old friend, and it is where I do all
my typing. However, I have notes
everywhere, handwritten and electronic.
I carry around a small notepad wherever I go to write down random ideas
whenever they pop in my head. Plus,
music always helps get ideas flowing, so if I think of something while driving,
I talk into my phone so it types in my electronic notebook. At the end of the day, I gather everything
together and type it up in the story.
Is there a ritual you do before you
begin your book? Not
really. I write out a rough outline, and
do the necessary research, but nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, if a beginning of a book is stuck in
my head, but I am still working on a different book, I will go ahead and start
the one I can’t stop thinking about, so I can move on with the other one.
What do you do when you finish your
book and turn it in to the editor? Breath, lol.

Favorite Lines “Most can’t fight the urge, and it is
forever a balancing act for the ones that chose the path of light. This was
God’s gift to all, no matter who you were, free will. Therefore, even though it
is told that all nephilims are evil, in reality, some chose to fight the good
fight on the side of the Lord. It gets easier for nephilims the more
generations that pass because of the increase in humanity to the bloodlines.”
“He would never understand women. One moment they were
about to make each other cry, but before they separated they… professed their
love”
“I was twenty and thought the sun rose and set around
her. Now I know that I was being young and stupid, because I can never remember
feeling this out of control with her. It feels like I’m spinning at warp speed
with nothing to hold onto. All it takes is one look from you to make my heart
speed up. That’s how you make me feel.”
“When he pulled back, the feeling of completeness never
left, and he wondered if it ever would. At that moment, he prayed that it never
did. He felt that after so many years, he finally had something to lose. The
feeling was utterly terrifying, but at the same time, very comforting.”
I'm so upset I waited so long to read this! It was yummy,
action packed, and full of forgiveness!
Malachi is a Nephilim, his great great grandfather was a
fallen angel.
He wants to be nothing like his "family" so he
and other nephilims fight for goodness!
Trinty is a teacher with a past, she ended an abusive
relationship and her only time of feeling safe is when she dreams. She has the
most amazing dreams with the yumminess man!
Malachi has been having the same dreams. So when they
meet the real world literally meshes with fantasy!
This was a great story. I loved so much about it. The pride
and determination Malachi has regarding not becoming like his ancestors was
admirable. When he met Trinty it was so heartwarming and scary at the same
time. I won't give away more but this is a great book for all lovers of
paranormal romance!
I was given this book by author in exchange for honest
review
FIVE NEPHILIM FAIRIES
I normally don't read romance novels, but the storyline intrigued me. I loved this book! I always enjoy a battle of good versus evil, and the conflict between descendants of fallen angels was something new and fresh. The characters were so well-developed that I feel like I know them. I want more!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I love books like this. Usually the book has the fallen be somewhat good but this one oh I loved how the children were trying to be nothing like there family!! I can't wait to see which warrior falls next lol
