Raping Aphrodite by Loukia Borrell (Guest Post/Giveaway)

Today I would like to welcome author Loukia Borrell, who is joining us today to share a little bit about her novel, Raping Aphrodite

It’s hard to make personal connections with people, especially in the digital age. If you think of all the people you’ve met in your life, and then think how many of them  you  feel  completely at ease  with, the numbers would be significantly different.  So, when you do find someone you feel connected to physically, emotionally, and mentally, it changes your life.

Raping Aphrodite In my novel, “Raping Aphrodite,” two of my central characters, Tash and Christian, have that sort of all or nothing relationship. Over 16 years, their relationship zigzags and takes just enough twists and turns – call it fate – for them to hook up again. Realizing how close they came to never making it back to each other, they both are plagued by fears that things are too good to be true.

Their story, one of two story lines in “Raping Aphrodite,” explains that they met while Tash was a high school student and Christian was one of her art instructors in a school for gifted fine arts students. Both of them are physically attractive and separated in age by 12 years – enough for Christian to teach Tash what she doesn’t know. They dance the dance, at first, and then embark on a physical relationship that changes the course of their lives forever.  When Christian’s steady girlfriend of three years figures it out, she takes certain steps to keep the couple apart, for good.

The voice is a powerful thing… Russell Leonard is a centuries-old Guardian who’s lost faith in his purpose. So when he’s charged with procuring the first female Guardian in over two centuries, he can only hope it’s the red-headed beauty who’s been haunting his dreams for months. And if it is, he intends to claim her as his. But when he finds his dream woman, Annabelle is mute and bears no Guardian’s Mark. 
He soon realizes she’s been tainted by an ancient evil. Russell must somehow release the secrets trapped within this delicate soul to help her tap into the only weapon powerful enough to silence a millennia-old demon—her voice.

April Event: Spotlight on Mythological Romance

Hello, hello, hello! I know this is a little late going up but I wanted to make sure to get the word out, if you haven't noticed already *g* that during the month of April Reading Between the Wines will be spotlighting mythological romances. :) I love mythology, all kinds, it just fascinates me. I am in no way knowledgeable on the subject but it something I enjoy and over the last few months I have come to realize that more and more, mythology plays a huge part in the books I read. Some are subtle but a good portion of paranormal romances have some mythology base to them. The subject is so vast, you can go anywhere with it from Egyptian Gods to the famed Gods & Goddesses of Olympus and the Titans to the Norse Vikings and so much more. It's something that everyone recognizes, whether it's the tale of the bolt-throwing Zeus, the fiery Phoenix, the beautiful Sirens or Disney's Hercules; everyone knows at least one story. And isn't it fun to imagine that maybe, just maybe, one of these fabulous fables might have a grain of truth to it? Maybe Theseus wasn't the son of a God, maybe he was just an ordinary man with an extraordinary talent that led to these myths, you never know and that's the fun of it. So, this month we are going to delve into it all with some amazingly talented authors who write about these intriguing mythos. I hope you'll join us. :)
