Blog Tour: How to Seduce a Scoundrel by Vicky Dreiling (Guest Post & Giveaway)

Today we have the lovely Vicky Dreiling visiting on her blog tour with a guest post and giveaway!
What's in a name?
How to Marry a DukeThis is really a fun topic for me because there is a story behind the names of my characters. When I first set out to write my debut novel HOW TO MARRY A DUKE (January 2011), I asked my friend Kristi to assist me. I had one big requirement for the names of my soon-to-be hero and heroine: alliteration. In my mind, this made the starring characters seem more like a couple.
My friend Kristi said, “OK, no problem.”

When Lady Julianne Gatewick realizes the rake of her dreams thinks of her as practically his sister, she decides it's time to get even. The charming Marc Darcett, Earl of Hawkfield, is every lady's fantasy, but he's determined to evade virgins and their matrimonial traps - especially his best friend's sister. Hawk reluctantly agrees to be Julianne's guardian for the season, but he's having trouble resisting his gorgeous ward. Worse still, she's taunting him by flirting with every scoundrel in London - and he's sworn to protect her! Certain she's learned her tricks from the authoress of that scandalous publication "The Secrets of Seduction", Hawk sets out to uncover the writer's identity. But he never expects to find the formerly angelic Julianne behind the mask - and between his sheets.

                                                                                               House of Immortal Pleasures: Blindfolded, and kidnapped by her friends, Daphne is whisked away to the famed, House of Immortal Pleasures, a Vampire-run Brothel in Pahrump, Nevada. Sometimes the only way to mend a broken heart is to get back in the saddle. At least that is how Daphne's friends see it. And since Daphne isn't showing any signs of letting that happen, they take it into their own hands. With a few shots of liquid courage, a pat on the ass, and a donated gold card, Daphne is unwillingly sent to meet her creature of the night, Connor.                                                               Karma & Melodies: Ten years after she was stolen from the mortal world, Kendra runs into the man she had always loved. But she's not longer a human and he's a popular musician on tour with his band. Can they find a way to make love work?                                                        Halloween Fantasies: Touted as the sexiest party of the year, the annual Halloween Fantasy Ball is the one place a girl can let loose and succumb to her wildest fantasies. Disguised as a sexy vampire huntress, Sasha captures the attention of Dante, a real life creature of the night. And this sexy vampire has a few fantasies to share. These stories contain consensual sexual situations and strong language. Adult readers only.

My Thoughts:

Vampire Bites is a fun little anthology to sink your teeth into, consisting of three separate novellas featuring sexy vampires, rock stars and fantasies come to life.
