In Regency London a dissolute vampire hunts his prey... Bloodlust Denied



“Christina Phillips writes such sinfully seductive romances and she has excelled herself in an erotic paranormal romance, Bloodlust Denied, set in Regency London. This exquisitely erotic tale is an original take on the vampire myth.” 5 Stars Top Read A Reader’s Review
  
iBooks     Amazon US     Amazon UK     Amazon AUS    Amazon CA     Kobo   B&N


For 2000 years he’s roamed the earth, taking whatever he desires…until he falls under the spell of the only woman who can destroy his immortal bloodlust…
 
Depraved and dissolute, the vampire Alexius is tired of Regency London, until he’s bewitched by a dark haired seductress. Abduction, bondage and decadent seduction feature in Alexius’ plans, but before the sun rises dynamics have shifted and he’s the one fighting the silken bonds of captivity. 
 Entranced by such novelty, he denies his bloodlust and decides to keep her to warm his bed.
 
Immortal vampire hunter Morana has never mistaken her prey before, but the sinfully seductive stranger mesmerizes her, enticing her to forget everything but the dangerous pleasure she finds in his arms. But as they fall under each other’s hypnotic spell the past and present collide and unless they discover the truth behind the lies, Death will triumph once more.

"Revenge is the reason I exist." BLOODLUST DENIED #MySexySaturday Hot Regency Romance



Welcome to My Sexy Saturday's End of Summer Anniversary Bash! Even though here in Australia we're in the middle of spring :-)

So much sexy goodness going on this weekend with heaps of giveaways and fun! Don't forget to visit our Facebook party to join in the fun, and be in with  a chance to win the Grand Prize of a Kindle Fire HD :-) 






 I'm sharing seven sexy paragraphs of my dark Regency romance, Bloodlust Denied. The vampire hero Alexius has just found Morana again, three years after their sizzling encounter in a London back street, and he's determined to exact revenge :-)




“Then enlighten me. You fascinate me, Miss Craven, and I’m determined to discover exactly what you are.”


If he ever discovered exactly what she was, he’d go insane. Vampires didn’t exist in polite society, and their immortal slayers were unheard of. Or perhaps he would merely think she was insane and attempt to have her locked away in an asylum. Either way, she had no intention of allowing him to unearth such devastating information.


“And do you always get your way?” She challenged him with a haughty glance.


“Always.” The dance concluded, yet he did not relinquish her hand nor acknowledge the musicians. His entire focus appeared centered upon her.


“I fear this time you face disappointment.”


He pulled her toward him in a most ungentlemanly manner. Desire quivered along her skin and spiraled around her sensitive nipples causing them to ache with need. She stared up into his eyes and tried to convince herself all she wanted from him was another mindless fuck in a darkened corner.

"A love that transcends time" Regency PNR BLOODLUST DENIED #MySexySaturday

 



Welcome to this week's My Sexy Saturday where the theme is My Sexy Boyfriend :-)


 
 
 Today I'm sharing seven paragraphs of my sexy Regency paranormal romance, Bloodlust Denied. This is the scene in a ball, where the heroine Morana meets the hero, Alexius, for the first time after she ran from him three years ago.
 
 





“May I present His Grace, the Duke of Havenshire.”

He bowed, and a shiver raced along her spine as she recalled the last time he had bowed to her just seconds after she’d demanded his soul. She forced a curtsey, her knees stiff, thighs shaking and finally risked glancing up at him.

Vibrant green eyes mocked her in a face so starkly beautiful her breath escaped in a shocked gasp. The flickering lantern in the alley had revealed his strong jaw, his high cheekbones and sensual lips, but had concealed the extent of his charismatic allure that enfolded her like a living entity.

But his eyes. She stared into them, mesmerized. In the dark alley, it had been impossible to discern their color and yet she knew these eyes. They were as familiar to her as her own but that was impossible. Madness.

He was speaking. She struggled to clear her mind, to compose her senses. She resisted the urge to press her hand against her face, just to check that her cheeks weren’t really as hot as they felt.

 “May I have the honor of this dance, Miss Craven?” The quirk of his mouth was the only indication he found such formality amusing. She flicked the tip of her tongue over her lips and didn’t miss the way his eyes followed the movement.

She could refuse. Turn and run. And knew she never would.


“A stunning tale of a love that transcends time” 5 Stars Top Read A Reader’s Review

iBooks     Amazon US     Amazon UK     Amazon AUS    Amazon CA     Kobo   B&N


Tired of the thin-blooded aristocrats in 1815 London, Alexius yearns for better sport. He is drawn to a dark-haired seductress who shows no fear and refuses to obey his commands. Entranced by such novelty, he denies his bloodlust and decides to keep her to warm his bed.
 Immortal vampire hunter Morana has never mistaken her prey before, but the dark stranger mesmerizes her, enticing her to forget everything but the dangerous pleasure she finds in his arms.
Neither one can deny the pull of the other, but there is something beyond the lust—a recognition neither can put a name to. The past and present collide and unless they discover the truth behind the lies, Death will triumph once more.

Release Day! BLOODLUST DENIED ~ Rising from the ashes of the past #99c for two weeks only



I'm absolutely delighted that I've finally got the rights back from the publisher and am able to self-publish and release my dark paranormal romance, Bloodlust Denied. Two years ago when this hot novella first came out, it landed straight in Amazon's dungeon - presumably because of the cover and the so called "hand bra" (although I always liked that cover). So, the novella was dead in the water from day one.

But now, like the phoenix of legend, it has another chance of life :-)

Hot Vampire #Regency Romance BLOODLUST DENIED #99c for limited time only #MySexySaturday



This week on My Sexy Saturday I'm sharing 7 paragraphs from my dark PNR, Bloodlust Denied, which is available for pre-order - release date 6th August 2015 :-)

In this scene the hero Alexius, a two thousand year old vampire, is inexplicably entranced by the heroine Morana and instead of slaking his bloodlust he holds back...





He slid his other hand around her neck. The cool silk of her hair caressed his knuckles, as the tips of his fingers caressed her tender flesh. He inhaled her fresh, clean scent, rose petals and raindrops and something else, something he had never before encountered. Something dark and dangerous and so violently arousing, it momentarily obliterated the overwhelming lure of her luscious blood.

She tilted her head, exposing the pale column of her throat to his ravening gaze. Without conscious thought, he lowered his head, and drifted his mouth across her tempting skin. He could feel the frantic beat of her pulse vibrating against his lips, against the tip of his searching tongue. His fangs pierced his gums, aching with need and want and rising desperation, yet unaccountably, he held back.

Echoes from another time whispered through his mind, but the time was now and the echoes were the seductive strains of the violin. Yet the music was inside his brain, inside his empty heart, twisting through his veins and pounding along his rigid shaft.

He nibbled kisses along her throat, savoring the sensation of her fluttering pulse, the torture of feeling the rush of her blood beneath the flimsy barrier of flesh, and the evocative scent of ethereal rose gardens.

 “I could take you now.” His hoarse whisper teased her earlobe. This woman aroused him to a degree he’d long since forgotten existed.

“Then take me now.” Her panted command arrowed straight to his throbbing cock, the sensation so acute, for one incredulous second his fearsome control wavered.

No woman could exert such power over him. He would come only at his own command and no one else’s.

Dark Erotic Regency BLOODLUST DENIED #HornyHDay PNR Vampire

Welcome to Horny Hump Day! This is the hop where we share three steamy sentences from one of our books. This week I'm sharing a snippet from the beginning my dark vampire romance, Bloodlust Denied.

In this scene the hero, Alexius, has caught the elusive scent of a woman he is determined to make his own :-)




He turned into another dark alley, the stink of decay and despair wrapping around him in an unwelcome caress of death. But threaded through every beat of this misbegotten city her scent throbbed, rich, vibrant. Closer.


“Phillips takes on a tricky trope in this steamy paranormal novella but navigates it with skill, keeping her characters and readers in the dark for as long as possible and captivating them with the heady sensuality and visceral desire of each scene. The dangerous, addictive passion that singes the main characters is all-encompassing and surprisingly revealing. Though there isn’t room to delve into all the plot twists and characters histories fully, the power and complexity... will leave fans begging for more."

Steamy Vampire Sexiness with BLOODLUST DENIED for #MySexySaturday





Welcome to this week's My Sexy Saturday!  Every week published and unpublished authors share 7 words, 7 sentences or 7 paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published book.
This week, it's all about the sexiness :-)

So I thought I'd share seven paragraphs from my erotic vampire Regency romance, Bloodlust Denied. I just found out this book has been filtered into the naughty corner by Amazon, so it seems Alexius and Morana have been invisible in searches :-(

Here's the cover - not too shocking I think!!!


And here are the seven paragraphs. Alexius and Morana have just met and neither can deny their shattering lust for the other :-)

He nibbled kisses along her throat, savoring the sensation of her fluttering pulse, the torture of feeling the rush of her blood beneath the flimsy barrier of flesh, and the evocative scent of ethereal rose gardens.
 
“I could take you now.” His hoarse whisper teased her earlobe. This woman aroused him to a degree he’d long since forgotten existed.

“Then take me now.” Her panted command arrowed straight to his throbbing cock, the sensation so acute for one incredulous second his fearsome control wavered.

No woman could exert such power over him. He would come only at his own command and no one else’s.

Still cradling her nape, he relinquished his hold on her arm and slid her gown over her shoulder. He wound a velvet ribbon around his fingers and tugged sharply. Her bodice gaped and he saw a tantalizing glimpse of erect nipple.

He cupped her breast, its satisfying weight filling his hand and in the wavering light, he could see the faint tracing of veins beneath the vulnerable skin.

So tempting. So why didn’t he simply slake his lust, fuck her and take her and end this agonizing scream of want that consumed every nerve he possessed?

Read Chapter One  

"An ancient vampire, Alexius has grown intolerably weary of the London ton. But the moment he sets eyes on Morana, he is captivated. Alexius is stunned by his undiminished desire for her defiant beauty - and startled to realize he has seen her smile before. A vampire hunter bent on retribution, Morana realizes after a single frenzied encounter with Alexius that her desire for revenge can never match her hunger for this arrogant, oddly familiar man."  Romantic Times BOOK Review 4 Stars

Erotic Vampire Romance #HornyHDay BLOODLUST DENIED

Welcome to Horny Hump Day! This is the hop where we share three steamy sentences from one of our books. This week I'm sharing a sexy snippet from my dark Regency romance, Bloodlust Denied.

The hero, Alexius. and heroine, Morana, have only just met but passion instantly ignites between them :-)






His lips closed over the puckered nipple, and her gasp of shock only served to increase the power of his lust. Gently he sucked on the firm flesh, when every throb of his engorged cock demanded he plunge his fangs into her. That he drink from her full, temping breast, suck her sweet blood from her, and satisfy this ravenous frenzy.

I'm also giving away one e-copy of the book to one person who leaves a comment on this post!



Her heated skin branded his palm, and lust sizzled through his veins. His balls tightened and his cock hardened beyond all sanity. The flickering light danced over her face, her parted lips, and her eyes were dark pools of mystery. But still she made no move to touch him.

“What game are you playing?” His voice rasped, scarcely recognizable. “Do you require payment before you deliver?”

“I’ll deliver.” Her warm breath grazed his jaw, unbearably erotic. “And you will pay.”

He slid his other hand around her neck. The cool silk of her hair caressed his knuckles, as the tips of his fingers caressed her tender flesh. He inhaled her fresh, clean scent, rose petals and raindrops and something else, something he had never before encountered. Something dark and dangerous and so violently arousing, it momentarily obliterated the overwhelming lure of her luscious blood.

My Sexy Saturday ~ BLOODLUST DENIED


Welcome to this week's My Sexy Saturday!  Every week published and unpublished authors share 7 words, 7 sentences or 7 paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published book.
 
 Today I'm sharing another 7 paragraphs from my erotic vampire Regency, Bloodlust Denied. Alexius and Morana have only just met, but right from the start Alexius knows there is something different about Morana...
 
 

“The dangerous, addictive passion that singes the main characters is all-encompassing…”
 
 
He cupped her breast, its satisfying weight filling his hand and in the wavering light, he could see the faint tracing of veins beneath the vulnerable skin.

So tempting. So why didn’t he simply slake his lust, fuck her and take her and end this agonizing scream of want that consumed every nerve he possessed?

His lips closed over the puckered nipple, and her gasp of shock only served to increase the power of his lust. Gently he sucked on the firm flesh, when every throb of his engorged cock demanded he plunge his fangs into her. That he drink from her full, temping breast, suck her sweet blood from her, and satisfy this ravenous frenzy.

He flicked his tongue over the hard bud, and her fingers raked through his hair, pinning his head more securely to her body. Involuntarily a smile twisted and the tips of his fangs grazed his lips.

She wasn’t as indifferent to him as she tried to pretend. 

With monumental effort, he forced his fangs to retract, the searing pain of denial ripping through his gums, shredding him from mouth to groin. A primeval groan of protest rasped along his throat but he increased the pressure around her nipple. Sucking, tugging, milking pleasure from her aroused flesh, from the way her fingernails gouged into his scalp.


“Harder.” Her breathless command stoked his lust, but he obeyed no man’s command, let alone a woman’s. Instead, he dragged his lips from her wet peak and heard her gasp of protest as the night’s breeze brushed against her nakedness.
