Release Day–EVERLASTING BAD BOYS

Posted in Romance on August 26th, 2008 by Cynthia Eden

The bad boys are here. 🙂

Today is the official release date for the EVERLASTING BAD BOYS anthology.

From the back cover:

They’re bad boys–with that little something extra. Sexy, wild, out-of-this-world talents that can leave any woman feeling weak at the knees (among other body parts), they’re the ones to call when you want pleasure that lasts…and lasts…

“Can’t Get Enough” by Shelly Laurenston: Even for a dragon, Ailean the Wicked has a bad reputation. For 150 years he’s been renowned for his fighting prowess, but now he’s got a new conquest in mind–a gorgeous dragoness known as Shalin the Innocent. Ailean suspects she’s anything but. And while he’s saving her from her enemies, he plans to prove that, even in human form, a bad-boy dragon can show a girl a good time that’s truly off the scale…

“Spellbound” by Cynthia Eden: No witch in her right mind would summon an immortal soul-hunter to her aid, but Serena Tyme needs Luis D’Amil’s help to destroy the warlock who’s stalking her coven. And she’s willing to pay any price he names…especially when the tall, dark, sexy-as-hell assassin shows her he can work some sensual magic of his own…

“Turn Me On” by Noelle Mack: Finally, Beth Danforth has found a man who can flip her switch. That’s because supersexy Justin Watts, CEO of SpectraSign, is literally made of light. His dazzling, custom-built body can’t ever wear out. And talk about energy–Beth can’t get enough of the guy. The sex is electrifying. The love will never fade away…

I feel very lucky to be included in this anthology. I’ve always loved the “Bad Boy” anthologies from Brava, and, so when I had the opportunity to write my own Bad Boy story, I was thrilled.

I hope readers enjoy my contribution to the anthology. I sure had a great time creating Luis and Serena!

A wash-out…

Posted in Romance on August 25th, 2008 by Cynthia Eden

All weekend long, I waited for Tropical Storm Fay to hit my area.  I figured I’d lose power.  Maybe one of my pine trees would fall down–but, nothing. And then, I wake up today and we have flood warnings for the area.  I guess the rain bands just took their sweet time getting here.

So, today may be one of those nice days where I just sit inside and have an indoor picnic with Jack and we read and relax and watch the rain fall.  I do like wash-out days.  🙂

But, hey, I’ll get work done, too.  I’m still going through the draft of my latest paranormal romance (my white tiger bounty hunter–sorry, I don’t have a good working title for that yet).  I’ve added 15 pages so far, changed two big scenes, and killed a man.  (I kinda feel like Johnny…“I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die…”) I hope to knock out another 50 pages of rewriting work today.  My goal is to have a *fairly* clean draft before I leave for New Orleans on Friday. Then, when I come back, I’ll do one more fast read and send my story off to my editor, the Magnificent M.

I’m blogging today over at Divas of the Dark.  EVERLASTING BAD BOYS releases tomorrow so I’m talking about the mix of excitement and fear/nervousness that I get with each release.

Hope your weather is better than mine!

Reward Reads

Posted in Romance on August 21st, 2008 by Cynthia Eden

There are some books that I’ve dying to get my greedy hands on. As soon as I finish the review/rewrite on this current manuscript, I’m going to take about a week and (hopefully!) do nothing but read.  And these books are definitely on my must read list:

First up…FATED by Lauren Dane.  I love a good werewolf romance, and, knowing Lauren, this will be a great one!

Here’s a great excerpt from FATED for your reading pleasure.

The next read I want?  DARK LIGHT by Jayne Castle.    The second romance book that I read (when I first learned of the awesome genre that is romance, way, way back in the day…) was by Jayne Ann Krentz  (AKA Jayne Castle AKA Amanda Quick AKA Amanda Glass).   Since then, I’ve read every book she’s written, and when DARK LIGHT releases on the 26th of August, I’ll be there to snatch it up.

Ann Aguirre also has another book scheduled for release soon.  WANDERLUST promises to be another fast, gripping read.  So, of course, it’s on my list! And, hey, Ann’s running a new contest on her site, too.

And the fourth book I’m waiting for…DARK CURSE by Christine Feehan. What can I say? I love those Carpathians!  You can read the prologue for this book on her site.

I know there are plenty of other books that I’ll be adding to my reading list. When I go to the bookstore, I’ll probably go wild. (That always happens when I’m around books.)  So, do look for this list to expand.

And what’s on your must read list?
