Author Ava James Visits The Keep!

ONE DARK KNIGHT, by Ava James


Categories: Historical Mainstream ROMANCE
Heat Level: SENSUAL
Published By:  SIREN BOOKSTRAND
AVAILABLE: Tuesday, September 29th

Past the suitable age for marriage, Lady Isobel longs for her life to begin. When the chance to flee the clutches of her misery arises, she sets out on a journey to her dower lands and childhood home. But no road is without its perils, and she soon finds she needs someone by her side.

Sir Robert de Gever's duties become vastly more complicated when Lady Isobel stumbles into his life in need of rescue. Questions arise and secrets run deep, leaving desire and suspicion to war within him.

Intrigue awaits the pair, and conspirators abound. Is the bond of one dark night spent together strong enough to save them from their fears?

One Dark Knight, Available in: Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Reader, HTML, Mobipocket
Price: $5.50

Excerpt:

He wished he could keep her locked away—far, far away. The woman looked as though she were arming herself for battle. Her sweet smiles changed the instant the last of the men quit the room.

“What is the matter?” Isobel asked with a clipped tone.

“What is the matter?” Robert began his counterattack in falsetto.

“Where should I start? My men have all left their posts, and training, to come to the beck and call of the devilish temptress besieging Durham .” He watched her eyes grow wide as he spoke. How was it that even now, he could think of nothing but her lips?

“Devilish temptress? If I tempted any man, it was in no way intentional, and in every way a result of the man’s baser interests.” Isobel took a challenging step toward him. She accused him with her eyes and her words. "Furthermore, if it weren't for yer noble act of imprisonment, I would not be here!"

Robert stepped closer to her. Her feminine scent wafted into his nostrils. She easily broke his train of thought. The aroma that lingered about her intoxicated his senses. Beyond doubt, she was a foul temptress! With every attempt to ignore her, he failed miserably. Each time he was in her presence she distracted him. If it was not her beauty that caught his attention, it was her voice and words. The woman drew him in and he did not care to be so affected by her. He needed to reign in his thoughts and focus.

Focus, focus.

In a much calmer voice he said, “Would ye rather I left ye to be ravished by those Saxon mercenaries?” He took another step closer to her as he spoke. He watched her gaze fall to his lips. Her pink tongue crossed her own bottom lip, and a blush came to her soft cheeks. God’s wounds, he felt too much for this lady.

She drew away. “Ravished by those Saxons is not what I want.” Her voice weak, and unusually breathy, he wondered just who she’d like to be ravished by.

His own errant mind conjured up dangerous visions of her naked body slick against his own. He couldn’t help himself, so he asked just what he’d been wondering. “What do ye want?"

Land of Falling Stars, Keta Diablo
Historicals are my favorite genre, so when a friend who frequents HSN told me these were on, I had to order them. I read "Land of Falling Stars". I don't read a lot of Civil War stories, but this was beautiful. I truly enjoyed it. The author really brought out the desolation and fear of the war.

READERS FAVORITE STORMS THE KEEP!


Debra Gaynor

Founder of ReadersFavorite.com

Readers Favorite was founded by Debra Gaynor to provide readers with quality books, and to help authors with honest reviews of their work and to assist them in obtaining more recognition and exposure through a respected Book Contest.

Debra's love for reading started while working as a librarian in both the University and public school systems. She then spent several years as a reading coach for children, and quickly realized what a dramatic difference the right book made.

So Debra started reviewing to help people pick books that would foster their love of reading, instead of extinguishing it. For the past six years she has been reviewing full time, earning the respect of such industry giants as Amazon, Penguin, and Random House, as well as the gratitude of thousands of authors. She also has a regular Book Advice column in her local newspaper.

Readers have access to a simple but complete review page for an ever increasing number of books. Each book features a straight forward review from a member of the Readers Favorite team, as well as reviews by individual readers. Because we only list premium books, the reviews are primarily positive, creating an enjoyable community for book enthusiasts.

But Debra's primary purpose for this site is to help authors, and those who have written a book that isn't quite up to par need the most help. Our reviewers point out the issues that caused the bad review, and offer suggestions for improvement. But we will not list one or two-star books, unlike other review sites, we do not pad our site with reviews that would only hurt an author. If you are looking to read scathing reviews of bad books, try some of our competitors.

Debra has always wanted to provide a competition for her authors that would give them the opportunity for broader recognition and greater success. Over the years she has been fortunate enough to become friends with some accomplished people in the book industry, and have asked them to sit in as Readers Favorite Contest Judges.

New Review for CARNAL CRAVINGS

CARNAL CRAVINGS – Review by Goodreads Reader
Buy Carnal Cravings Here: DARK ROAST PRESS

Craven Saunders is a man who can't recall the last time a woman had aroused his desires. According to his friend Anthony, there is a society of men with tastes to match his own. The name of this society is, Carnal Cravings. Their leader, Dominic Beresford is also rumored to be breathtakingly gorgeous.

With his curiosity aroused, Craven agrees to accompany Anthony on a little bit of a spying game. But what had started out as one night of hiding in the bushes and risking their necks just for a glance at who was coming and going, quickly becomes a nightly adventure.

Weeks pass without either of them getting caught. Or so they thought.

Dominic is fully aware of the two young men who have been spotted spying on his home. And one night, he'd had enough. He has his men retrieve them from the woods and bring them to the house where Dominic has every intention of teaching them a lesson.

While Anthony sent to one room to be dealt with, Dominic personally handles Craven in another.

His intentions were never more than a bit of taunting before allowing the two men to leave. However what began as a naughty game, quickly becomes something more. Affection, desire and need--all feelings that are uncommon to Dominic overwhelm him, until he finds himself desperate to do anything to ensure Craven's return.

* * * *
I've been eyeing Keta Diablo's Land of Falling Stars for months now. However, this happens to be the first story I've read by her.

Considering the length of the tale, she still managed to pull me in and make me appreciate her characters' desires, needs and flaws.

Craven, being the more sensitive of the two, balanced out Dominic's alpha character beautifully. Dominic was tired of engaging in meaningless releationships, and Craven was desperate for a relationship. The timing was perfect for these lovers.

I also enjoyed the change in backdrop. I read a lot of historical romances and most take place in England, so to have one taking place here was a really nice change.

Carnal Cravings
is an extremely hot read. The scenes that transpired throughout are enough to make you squirm. If you are looking for a steamy m/m romance that will be a quick read, then look no further.

Dust & Moonlight - Fantasy/Time-Travel

Dust and Moonlight by Keta Diablo
Heather’s Reading Romance Blog

BUY DUST AND MOONLIGHT HERE: FIRST ROMANCE E-BOOKS

Blurb
Balion, Prince of Locke Cress, waited a long time for the forest nymph with lavender eyes to come to him. The dreams told him it was just a matter of time. What they hadn’t told him was that he’d lose his heart to the strange creature from another world.

After the serial killer attacked Kira, she awoke in a strange land. Now, she’s running for her life from wild boars, wizards, and sorcerers, not to mention a Prince that makes her body melt in all the wrong places. Facing extraordinary circumstances as the evil plots unfold, Kira fights for her life, and for a love that neither time nor distance can ever dispel from her soul.


Review:
Keta out did herself!I had the pleasure of reading Land of Falling Stars several months ago and knew instantly that I had found an author that was going to be on auto buy. This is actually the third book I have read by this author and it just keeps getting better. I have yet to be disappointed.

In Dust and Moonlight, Keta brings Kira to another world in another time. A land where her father was summoned from. She has traded one battle for another and is faced with the chance at a love that will know no bounds. Her desire to go home is at battle with the desire to stay wrapped in Balion's strong arms of love.

Dust and Moonlight is a definite 5 star read that I highly recommend to any lover of romance, time travel or fantasy!

AUTHOR LIANE GENTRY SKYE - A Heroine In Her Own Right!

Please help me welcome Author Liane Gentry Skye! It's my honor and privilege to feature her on Keta's Keep. Liane is to be commended not only for her love of writing, but for her honorable crusade against autism. Read all about it here, and please leave a comment for this brave woman who struggles every day with something few of us know anything about.

Liane is currently engaged in an Internet writing contest called TextNovel. Your vote for her book, MUSE STRUCK, will result in a possible print contract from Dorchester and the proceeds will be donated to AUTISM SPEAKS.

I hope, like me, you'll be enlightened and touched after reading about Liane! You go, girl with my heartfelt applause!

About Liane:
Liane Gentry Skye was considered the girl most likely to become a nun in high school. Upon graduation, she wasted no time rewriting her miserable destiny. Two marriages, one real life alpha hero and four beautiful babies later, she decided it wise to exchange her rhinestone thong for soccer mom sweats.

These days, her walk on the wild side lives (mostly) in her imagination.
The mother of two children with autism, what time she doesn't spend breathing life into her secret fantasies, she spends grant writing and advocating for a better world for persons with autism. In that vein, she has written for such venues as Autism/Asperger's Digest, Autism Today, Guideposts: Angels on Earth, and the Myrtle Beach Sun News.

Story behind the TEXTNOVEL story:
Writer's block. That's what I blame the inspiration on my novel, Muse Struck, on. I'd just come off of writing the first novel in the Three Kinds of Wicked series, Wicked Temptation. This project was a dark, angsty erotic romance and to say I felt emotionally exhausted by the intensity of the book is the understatement of the century.

Worse, my oldest son, who has severe autism, entered the most difficult phase of his life while I was completing Wicked Temptation. But life waits for no author. I was obligated to provide my publisher another (dark) story, and my muse was clearly out to lunch. I was paralyzed creatively. I didn't have the heart to tackle another emotionally taxing story, so I decided to try my hand at a light, steamy romp based on an artist whose muse refused to be denied.

Sixty some thousand words later, I've acknowledged that Muse Struck isn't content to be just a simple short story. Writing Dante and Camille's outrageous romp is the most fun I've had writing in a long time. And I'm awestruck that their steamy romp remains in the top five of the Dorchester Publishing "Next Best Celler" contest entries at TextNovel.

I hope the readers here at Keta's Keep find my serial romance worthy of their thumbs up vote at textnovel! Should this story see publication via the contest, I intend to donate my winnings to Autism Speaks. (www.autismspeaks.org). Because the resolution of Camille and Dante's story involves the love for a child with autism, each vote is a step in helping me use my writing to put an accurate face on this potentially devastating developmental disorder.

Blurb:
Camille D'Angelo has three rules when it comes to diving back into the dating pool. No younger men. No drop dead gorgeous, love 'em and leave 'em types, and above all, no nut cases. When too-sexy-to-be-true male model, Dante Erato, shows up claiming to be her muse, he tops Camille's list of men to avoid on all counts.

According to her best friend, that makes Dante the perfect candidate for a no strings, one night quickie.Frustrated with her absent love life, Camille fortifies herself with a few chocolate martinis and throws caution to the wind, intent on having her way with Dante, intent on washing him out of her life like yesterday's laundry.

Granted, once the wickedly delish deed is done, she's inspired big time, but there's only one problem. While she's more in demand as a photographer than ever, she's finding it hard to get any work done. When it comes to the far-too-tempting male model claiming to her muse, "don't call me, I'll call you" simply doesn't compute.

Dante Erato has his own agenda. A notorious bad boy, he has fallen from Gaia's good graces and has but one last chance to inspire a great work of art and save his soul. Whether she likes it or not, finding his way into Camille's heart is the ticket to eternity he's been waiting an millenium for.

Review of Sin Eater's Prince by SMEXY BOOKS - A very KEWL Blog!
VISIT SMEXY TODAY

The Sin Eater's Prince - Keta Diablo
Featured in The Boys of the Bite anthology
August 4, 2009, M/M paranormal romance, Ravenous Romance

Review:
Set in 1842, The Sin Eater's Prince is the story of Owen, a sin-eater who meets people on their death bed and absolves their sins into him. while Owen is doing exactly that, he see Dr. Andras Maddock and as in the past, his eyes refuse to leave him. His attraction is a distraction to all that is going on around him. Finally he gets to work and does his job to the poor woman dying.

As he is about to leave, Andras warns him there are evil creatures at work in the dark forest and he should spend the night. Not trusting what he might do with Andras, Owen forces himself to leave. Once in the dark though, evil is waiting. Just as he is about to get attacked from an evil vampire, Andras races in and kills the evil creature.

They both make it into shelter before any of the slain vampires kin can take revenge. Here they discover each other and Andras finds comfort, something he had never had in his life. He also learns a secret, one that brings Andras and Owen closer together.

The Sin Eater's Prince is a very short story, but I like the concept. A sin eater, alone in the world going from victim to victim, with nothing but a bleak outlook on life. Then he finds someone to share things with, who is a vampire. They have an altered outlook on life as a similarity between them.

I thought Andras attacking the oldest vampire on earth could have been played out a bit more. He said he had been looking for him all his life, and he seems to have killed him quite quickly. The romance scene was nice and sweet but I thought could have been a bit more spicy, especially after the revelation Andreas admits to near the end of the story. The ending leaves you guessing, and I can see it being set up for a longer novel, which in fact it has been contracted for a full length book.

Dark Divas Awarded CARNAL CRAVINGS 4.5 Divas! Here's what Melissa had to say:

Carnal Cravings by Keta Diablo
Publisher: Dark Roast Press
Genre: Historical, BDSM, GLBT, M/M

BUY HERE: DARK ROAST PRESS

Summary: Craven and his friend Anthony discover they're in over their heads the night they're caught spying on Beresford Hall. But when Craven meets the dark, mysterious Dominic Beresford, he wonders if fate really does step in and take you by surprise when you least expect.



My Review: Carnal Cravings may be a short novella, but it had my heart pounding more than one time, and for completely different reasons. This book has a touch of suspense, a few horrible memories from Craven, and several very hot sex scenes between sexy men. What more could you ask for?

Despite the short length of the book, I was drawn in and held captive by the mysterious Dominic and the sweet, young Craven. This book moves along at a very fast pace, keeping you on the edge of your seat, panting for more. The only thing I can think of that would make this book better would have been use of lubrication and more length to the story.

Carnal Cravings is a great, quick read to heat you up and leave you satisfied. The scene in which Craven has memories of his childhood and Nurse Evans might make you shudder and cringe for poor young Craven, but his life is looking up just fine with Dominic in the picture.

Rated 4 ½ Delightful Divas by Melissa!

With Olivia’s plan to find a suitable husband taking her into his brothel Morgan is willing to let her watch whoever she likes but when it comes to touching Olivia is going to be all his. All he has to do now is convince her of it before the person determined to take her from him succeeds.

Olivia is quite independent and fearless for her time. Combine that with the fact she’s a bit of a spoilt brat at times and you’ll be surprised at the trouble she can get herself into. Morgan is a strong man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. Unfortunately like a man he goes about it in the longest most stupidly painful way possible.

Set amidst the tight morals and high society of historical Savannah Decadent Deception is an enchanting and seductive romp that will keep you entertained for hours.

On her forty-sixth birthday, Marybeth buys a red convertible, equipped with the latest GPS navigation technology, and runs away from her painful divorce. At the mouth of the Mojave Desert she finds sexy, thirty-year-old USMC veteran Jake stranded with his disabled motorcycle, and gives him a lift to Nevada.

What Marybeth doesn’t know is that her GPS navigator has led her straight to the man she wished for to heal her broken heart. Though the GPS is not exactly a genie, his system grants him the power to locate whatever Marybeth needs most. What she wants is revenge, laced with a hot, studly young lover. GPS takes wishing upon a star to a new and very real technological level, as he makes Marybeth’s wildest, most sultry dreams come true.
