Lord of Darkness by Elizabeth Hoyt (Interview/Giveaway)


Historical romance wouldn’t be the same with out Elizabeth Hoyt. She is one of those authors that pulls you into her characters lives, making you laugh and cry with them. So I am very excited to welcome her to the blog today! 

Elizabeth: Thank you for having me, Lexi!
Lexi: I am sitting here in Minnesota, awaiting a snow storm that is going to have us snowed in for a couple days. Now I am reading about you and see you left MN and moved to New Orleans. Did you fall in love with the place as soon as you moved, or did it take some time? 
Elizabeth: Ha! Actually, you have it backwards: I was born in New Orleans and spent my first four years there before my family moved to Saint Paul, Minnesota. I love Minnesota! I live in Illinois right now, but I hope to move back to Minnesota and family soon. Also? I love snowstorms. ;-)

Their relationship is now put to the ultimate test.

Tour: Caris Roane's THE DARKENING (Guest Post/Giveaway)

Today I would like to welcome romance author, Caris Roane!


Hi, everyone!  And a big thank you to READING BETWEEN THE WINES for having me here today!

Though I’ve been a writer for a couple of decades now, words never grow old to me.  I wake up each day ready to tackle the next round of edits or full-on creation because at the end of the journey, I’ll have a story in hand!  Writing has become a true passion in my life, almost as much as reading!

I’m here today talking about my hunky, winged vampire warriors, my beloved Guardians of Ascension!  Because I fell in love with the works of Sherrilyn Kenyon, Gena Showalter, Christine Feehan and Lara Adrian, I knew I had to build my own world in which some really awesome vampires, built like powerful, muscled military men, would go around saving the world!  The result?  An elite band of warriors called, the Warriors of the Blood.  But the women in my stories play an equally important role.  Each woman has emerging powers and because that power appeals to the enemy, our warriors have to serve as a shield in order to keep the women alive as they harness their new powers and in turn protect their men and their society from the depredations of the evil ones.

England's "vampire craze" causes much vexation for the Lord Vampire of London, Ian Ashton. To save his reputation, Ian enlists aspiring authoress Angelica Winthrop without realizing she has hidden plans of her own.
Angelica Winthrop's life goal is to ruin her reputation, avoid marriage, and become a gothic authoress like her idol, Mary Shelley. To find inspiration for her new story, she breaks into the home of Ian Ashton, Duke of Burnrath, not knowing she will be coming up against the Lord Vampire of London. Romance sparks and reputations are at stake. But who knows the real difference between fact and fiction?
