Sinfully Hot (Erotic Paranormal Romance)

 

A hotter-than-sin reaper. A badass demon. Hell doesn’t get steamier than this.

 

Zekiel owns the newest nightclub in the French Quarter. The decadent atmosphere draws the corrupt, their blackened souls just what he likes to reap.

 

Jewel is not amused. Not only has Zekiel cut in on her territory, Satan’s gotten hardcore, upping her quota. All hell’s going to break loose if mortals don’t start selling their souls to her.

 

The race is on. Zekiel claims victory and wants Jewel as his prize for one evening. Nothing forbidden. Nothing denied. In other words, the whole enchilada, including voyeurism and BDSM.

 

After the first promising look and lingering touch, they’re goners…even though they’re supposed to be competitors.

Target (Dark Mafia Romance)

 

A Russian kingpin wants her dead… the only one who can stop it is the man sent to murder her.

Toni Flores loved her dream job working for a respected US senator until he raped her. She’s determined to bring him to justice, no matter the cost.

For years, Dimitri Valesky, head of a Russian crime family in America, has bought off those in government. Just like the senator responsible for Toni’s assault. When she won’t keep quiet about it and risks Dimitri’s business, he orders his stepson Michael to kill her.

Michael’s a lobbyist not a mafia enforcer. He refuses the insane demand, but Dimitri insists. The power he holds over Michael and his brothers is absolute… or so he believes.

Rather than murder Toni, Michael intends to romance her. Once he convinces her to keep quiet about the Senator, she won’t be a target any longer and Dimitri will back off on the hit. The plan falls apart and now they are dodging mafia enforcers, bullets, and Dimitri’s outrage.

Michael and Toni fight to stay alive and save those dearest to them as they also fall hopelessly in love.

Privilege (Dark Mafia Romance)

 

She’ll destroy the mobsters who murdered her brother… unless they kill her first.

 

District cop Lia Blosky warned her twin brother not to get involved with the Valesky Crime Family. He didn’t listen. Now, he’s dead, tortured horribly before mobsters murdered him. Out for blood, she’ll do anything to see these monsters dead.

 

FBI Special Agent Adrian Kalin is connected to the Valesky Family in a way he loathes and doesn’t want. His stepfather rules the syndicate and is tired of Lia threatening to kill him and others responsible for her brother’s death. To shut her up for good, he orders Adrian to murder her. Who better than an FBI agent who has no connection to her and knows how to hide evidence?

 

Adrian resists, but if it comes down to saving Lia or his brothers and mother from Dimitri’s rage, he’ll have to choose family.

 

In a deadly game between each other and the mob, Lia and Adrian fight to survive… while also surrendering to their undeniable attraction to each other.

Tina Donahue is Visiting and Talking about her latest release. #MFRWAuthor #Anything You Want #romance #witty #Playful #Caribbean resort

 

1. Tell me about your latest release or the book you wish to feature? Genre?

 

My latest release is Anything You Want, a witty, playful, and oh-so-sexy menage at a Caribbean resort. An erotic romance.

 

At a hedonistic resort, her indecent cravings are about to be sated…

 

With the big three-o only days away, Jamie’s had it with dieting, exercise, and being alone. Off she goes to Wicked Desires, a decadent Caribbean resort where clothing is optional, carnal appetites rule, and food, especially chocolate, is celebrated. If only she had a guy to indulge with…

 

How about two? Billionaires Creed and Tav are checking out ideas for their new video game. The play features a resort where anything goes and an unlikely heroine as the star. Jamie’s luscious curves and sweet vulnerability make her the perfect type to base their game on. Since she’s also in IT—having put her dream to create candy on hold—she understands their lingo.

 

Hell, their desires are perfectly in tune with hers, whether it’s food play during meals, punishment in the discipline room, or a romantic evening on the beach.

 

When it comes to sweet delights and these two hunks…who says she can’t have anything she wants?

 

Universal Buy Link: https://books2read.com/b/mYxJ0w

 

 

2. Where did the idea arise?

 

Since I adore chocolate (yeah, I’m an admitted chocoholic), and since I love hot romances – especially with two guys and one lucky lady – Anything You Want was the perfect combination of the two.

 

 

3. How much research was involved? Did you stay on point or be distracted by wanting to look at just one more thing?

 

I had to research Caribbean resorts that cater to an ‘anything goes’ attitude in terms of hookups between guests, food play, etc. Believe it or not, there are a ton of those resorts around. I had a great time looking at all the sexy pictures.

 

 

4. How long did you take to write the book?

 

I’m a fast writer – generally averaging 4000 to 4500 words daily. I also plot thoroughly before I begin writing. Given those two things, Anything You Want didn’t take long at all to write.

 

 

5. Now a bit about you. How long have you been writing? What is your Sun Sign?

 

I’ve been writing since I was a kid and actually wrote my first book Dimples the Adventurous Flea when I was nine years old. I even illustrated the book, made copies, and sold them to my friends’ parents in the neighborhood. My first book tour.

 

I haven’t a clue what my sun sign is, but it sounds like a fun thing to explore.

 

 

6. Do you write in a number of genres or stick to one?

 

I’ve written everything from sweet/clean romance to erotic (menage and reverse harem), romcom, paranormal, suspense, chick lit, urban fantasy, contemporary, historical, Regency, adult, new adult, forbidden romance, scifi, dark mafia, military, and sports.

 

 

7. Where on the internet can you be found?

Saturday Tina Donahue Mastering the Beast #MFRWAuthor #New Release #MFRWauthor


Mastering the Beast (Taming the Beast Book 3)

MASTERING THE BEAST
(Taming the Beast – Book 3 – Ménage & More)

by Tina Donahue

MEDIA KIT

June 5 Release



Series Blurb:

Magic has never been as sexy or as fun. In New Orleans’ French Quarter From Crud to Stud is the makeover service for supernatural beings who want to tame their beasts so they can date mortal babes. Owned by a half-witch and staffed by a good fairy, a reformed female demon, and a voodoo priestess—among others—the place is always hopping. There’s moonlight therapy for weres, aversion therapy to keep vamps from sinking their fangs in anyone’s neck, and no end of spells, potions, and treatments. These ladies definitely put the boys through their paces. But it’s not all work as they search for their one true love. Their journeys aren’t easy, but they’re definitely magical.

Mastering the Beast Blurb:

Surrendering is the only option she desires...

No one believes that under the tough attitude and schoolgirl fashion sense, reformed demon Zoe burns for a man, love and sex. She keeps those urges on ice and well hidden. She sold her soul for a guy once, and all it got her was a one-way ticket to Hell.

Her job, keeping supernatural creatures in line at From Crud to Stud, is all work and no play. Until she’s saddled with a trio of new enforcers who ooze so much sexual heat she’s afraid to be on the same planet with them.

Stefin, Anatol, and Taro try to contain their laughter as their adorable new boss tries to lay down the law. Apparently, no one told her they don’t take orders. They give them. And they’re determined to smooth her rough edges and tame her beast with acts so wanton they’ll make her scream—for more.

Talk about all hell breaking loose. Surrender won’t come easily, but given their devilish charm and her aching need, her journey to submission is one done deal.

Warning:

Contains an unholy trio of demons who don’t like to take turns. Break room…snacking. After-hours…training sessions. In other words, a sensual ride on the pleasure express. Features m/f/m/m sex in every flavor except vanilla. Bring. It. On.

Saturday's Blurbs featuring Books by Tina Donahue #MFRWauthor #paranormal

Blurb for Freeing the Beast – Book One, Taming the Beast
No more Mr. Nice Guy.

Taming the Beast, Book 1

Magic is Becca Salt’s business, but it ain’t happening in her bedroom. The half-witch proprietress of From Crud to Stud performs miracle makeovers for paranormal creatures. Once she’s done with them, they’re out the door hunting for hot babes, not hanging around for a too-curvy, plain Jane like her.
Her newest client is hot, hung, mouthwatering perfection. What could she possibly improve upon?

Eric Diletto. Descendant of Cupid, bred for courtship, courtesy, and all that other gentlemanly junk. What has it gotten him? Dumped time and again for bad boys. He needs Becca’s help for an entirely different reason—regression therapy to release his inner beast. Grrrr.

Two potions later, they’re crawling all over each other. Becca aches for a man who loves her as she is, not because he’s under the influence. But Eric isn’t as impaired as she thinks. And he intends to take Becca here, there, and everywhere—anything to convince her his desire isn’t just the potions talking.

Product Warnings

A witchdoctor’s nightmare. Contains potions with weird side effects, a sorceress with limited magical skills and a yearning heart, plus a minor god who wants to get down and dirty. Bad, bad boy!

Blurb for Surrendering to the Beast - Book Two, Taming the Beast
When she’s good, she’s very good. But when he’s bad, she’s better.
Taming the Beast, Book 2
As a good fairy, Heather is empathetic and chaste to a fault. No bad language, no dirty thoughts, flirting and no sex. But when a satyr named Daemon steps up to her reception desk at From Crud to Stud, she finds herself on the fast track to exquisite corruption.
Daemon is the total bad-boy package with a kiss straight from the dark side. Though he’s here for a supernatural makeover, Heather can’t imagine why any red-blooded woman would want him to change.
A disciple of the god of wine, Daemon has had his share of good times. But sex has never been this good. Heather brings out a new side of him, a side that makes him want to protect as well as pillage.
But Daemon needs a little creative backup to help set his fairy’s naughtiness free. And that means bringing in Mistress Jin. Under the genie’s tutelage and Daemon’s shameless lust, Heather is about to learn what it means to let loose.
Warning: Not your typical bedtime story. May lead to indecent behavior, a taste for voyeurism, discipline, bondage, m/f, m/f/f and f/f action, which will result in screaming orgasms. Proceed with caution.

Blurb for Wicked Takeover – Book One, Wicked Delights Series
She’s just inherited a tattoo parlor…and the hunk who comes with it.

Lauren’s in a helluva mess. Not only has she lost her corporate job, her long-absent father just left her a struggling tattoo parlor along with the virile dude who runs it. Dante’s sinfully hot with a killer smile and inked biceps. Lauren’s full-figured, sorta pretty and wanting him badly. Dream on. She’s here to sell the place as quickly as possible for some much-needed cash.

Dante sees the heat in Lauren’s eyes despite her conservative appearance. He recognizes the dynamite woman she could be if she’d just loosen up and have some wicked fun. Dominance and submission. Making love in a public place. Having her lush body always accessible to and ready for his.

Carnal games that seduce them until lust turns to surprising need and friendship to something deeper that might just change their futures.


Blurb for Wicked Seduction – Book Two, Wicked Delights Series
She’s survived abuse…he’ll teach her to trust passion and love.

Marnie’s getting her life together after escaping a violent relationship, a repeat of her parents’ past. Bearing scars on her arm and leg, she comes to Wicked Brand hoping tattoos will cover the damage and allow her to feel pretty.

Tor can work magic with his stunning 3-D designs and wants nothing more than to see Marnie smile. She’s a rare combination of sweet yet wickedly sensual. The kind of woman a man can’t easily resist.
He doesn’t try. Their sessions at the parlor turn into evenings of steamy delight as they feed their carnal hunger and growing intimacy, playing shameless games that leave them breathless and wanting more.

Paradise for Marnie—Tor cherishes and excites rather than harms, unlike her ex-boyfriend.

When he finds her, he’s ready to do his worst.

Think again. This time, Marnie’s no longer alone.


Blurb for Wicked Times Two – Book Three, Wicked Delights Series
She’s through with love and just wants to have some wicked fun…

Burned by her cheating boyfriend, Jasmina is finished with the thought of forever after with any guy. That fairytale doesn’t exist. From now on, protecting her heart and letting pleasure rule is her motto.
She has the perfect men in mind—Noah and Kyle, two of the hottest cops in town. They handled an altercation at Wicked Brand, the tattoo parlor she manages. When they come back to get inked, watch out.

Deliciously virile, Noah’s ready to play. Kyle’s on board too, liking the thought of a threesome and her submission, bondage, spanking, no strings or regrets.

Sensuous days roll into steamy nights driven by desire, enhanced by yearning the guys hadn’t expected and Jasmina can’t deny.

What began as a sensual adventure could turn into so much more…if she’s willing to take the chance.

Friday - Tina Donahue - Talking About Heroes, Heroines and Villains #MFRWauthor #paranormal #Romanticcomedy

1.    Do you write a single genre or do your fingers flow over the keys creating tales in many forms? Does your reading choices reflect your writing choices? Are there genres you wouldn’t attempt?


I write in multiple genres. Keeps my juices flowing. I love historical, contemporary, paranormal, suspense, you name it.

I like to read just about everything except heavy-duty SciFi, where the story tends to read like a manual. Too dry and uninteresting for me. Probably does have a lot to do with what I write.

Heavy-duty SciFi is definitely one genre I’ll always avoid writing. J


2.    Heroes, Heroines, Villains. Which are your favorite to write?

I love a great hero. A guy who’s strong yet kind with a great sense of humor. Always a joy to write. I love strong heroines too. Feisty ladies who can’t be put down by anyone. And, I also like writing villains, especially psychopaths – you know, the kind without a conscience. Think Ted Bundy.

3.    Heroes. How do you find them? Do pictures, real life or plain imagination create the man you want every reader to love? Do they come before the plot or after you have the idea for the story?

When I’m outlining my novels, I go online and look at photos of guys I think would be great in the role. I describe what I see in the photos. I could probably work from imagination, but then I wouldn’t get my eye candy fix.

They come while I’m plotting. I see scenes in my head when I’m thinking of a new novel. Don’t see the people exactly – more of what they’re doing, thinking.

4.    Heroines. How do you find them? Do pictures, real life or imagination create the woman you want the reader to root for? Do they appear before the plot or after you have the idea for the story?

Same as my heroes – go online to find women that match what I have in my mind. Or, if I don’t have any ideas, I can get some by looking at photos.

Imagination and life experience create the women I want readers to love.

Like the heroes, the heroines’ personalities come up while I’m plotting the story.


5.    Villains or villainesses or an antagonist, since they don’t always have to be the bad guy or girl. They can be a person opposed to the hero’s or heroine’s obtaining their goal. How do you choose one? How do you make them human?

They generally come about while I’m plotting the story. I know what the conflict will be, so the antagonists tend to pop up as I’m plotting.

Some of my antagonists have mellowed in my stories, but not all. If I am writing a villain, I like to write psychopathic ones – they have no conscience. I’ve read a lot of psychology books about the criminal mind. The public generally believes that a bad childhood leads to serial killing. Not true at all. Ted Bundy had a great home life, a very devoted mother and stepfather. He killed because he liked to kill. Gave him a sense of power – holding someone’s life in his hands. Those kinds of monsters fascinate me. I like to explore what makes them tick.

6.    What is your latest release? Who is the hero, heroine and or the villain?

Surrendering to the Beast, book two in my Taming the Beast series – erotic paranormal/romantic comedy.

My hero is Daemon, a satyr who wants to look fully human. He goes to From Crud to Stud, a makeover service for supernatural beings in New Orleans. There, he meets Heather (heroine) who happens to be a good fairy – no bad thoughts, words, or deeds, ever. Heather’s one end of the spectrum, bad boy Daemon is the other. Watching them come together is like seeing worlds collide. Funny, sexy, romantic and in the end very sweet.

Since Surrendering to the Beast is a romantic comedy, it doesn’t have a villain, so to speak. The closest would be Zoe, a reformed demon who’s an enforcer at the service. She gives Daemon hell, but it’s all in fun.

7.    What are you working on now?

Book five of my Taming the Beast series and another erotic historical series.

8.    How can people find you?

My bio and links:

I’m an award-winning, bestselling novelist in erotic, paranormal, contemporary and historical romance for Kensington, Samhain Publishing, Ellora’s Cave, Siren Publishing, Booktrope, Luminosity, Decadent, and indie. Yay! Booklist, Publisher’s Weekly, Romantic Times and numerous online sites have praised my work, and trust me, I’m forever grateful for that. I’ve had my books reach finals in the EPIC competition, one title was named Book of the Year at a review site, and others have won awards in RWA-sponsored contests. I’m actually featured in the 2012 Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market. Talk about feeling like a freaking star. Before my writing career, I was the editor of an award–winning Midwestern newspaper and worked in Story Direction for a Hollywood production company. Outside of being an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, I’ve flown a single-engine plane (scary stuff), rewired an old house using an electricity for dummies book, and have been known to moan like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally whenever I’m eating anything Mexican or Italian. Yeah, I like to eat (burp).
