BLOG BARRAGE ~TEMPTED BY A ROGUE PRINCE (Eternal Mates #3) by FELICITY HEATON
Today is the official release day of TEMPTED BY A ROGUE PRINCE by FELICITY HEATON. Book 3 in the fantastic ETERNAL MATES series, I’ve been waiting (not so patiently) for Vail and Rosalind’s story!!! ~ Tracy
Before we get to the blurb and excerpt for TbaRP, we have some questions that Felicity kindly took the time to answer for us.
We’ve gone with some fun Q’s rather than anything specifically about the book/series – mainly ‘cos we’re nosey that way!!! 😀
BLP: What’s your favourite book genre to read?
FH: I actually like to read what I write, which is paranormal romance. Whenever I’m on holiday or I have a break between writing books, I like to try to work my way through my to be read pile, which is quite extensive. I really like the escape that paranormal romance gives me, an adventure in new worlds with fascinating new characters. I have a list of auto-buy authors who are my go to ones, and I tend to read new books by these authors first.
BLP: What do you like to do when you aren’t working on your books?
FH: When I’m not working on my books, I love to watch anime or read manga, or sometimes I have the time to draw and paint. I also love to play games on my PlayStation and attend my archery practice sessions.
BLP: You’re stranded on a desert island – what 3 items would you NEED with you?
FH: I would definitely need my laptop, which I can read my books on and watch movies, a refrigerator, and a solar powered method of running these two items. I definitely couldn’t live without my laptop.
BLP: If you weren`t an author what would you be?
FH: If I wasn’t an author I would be a web developer still or maybe a designer. I work for years as a developer, building websites for e-commerce. I absolutely love programming, still program my own websites, and put together all the e-book versions of my books.
BLP: Who`s your favourite book boyfriend?
FH: If I’m allowed to say one of my own heroes, then I have to choose Vail. Vail is from my latest release, Tempted by a Rogue Prince, which is book 3 in my Eternal Mates series. I have had a soft spot for Vail ever since he walked into my head, a broken and dangerous male. There is something alluring about Vail. Maybe I just want to be the one to fix him, and give him something good back in his life.
Our thanks to Felicity for taking time out to answer our questions.

Tempted by a Rogue Prince
(Eternal Mates Romance Series Book 3)
Felicity Heaton
An elf prince on the verge of losing himself to the darkness, Vail is maddened by the forty-two centuries he was under the control of a witch and forced to war with his brother. Now, he roams Hell seeking an escape from his terrible past and the heads of all who bear magic. When demons of the Fifth Realm capture him, he sees a chance to end his existence, but when he wakes in a cell to a beautiful female, he finds not death but his only shot at salvation—his true fated mate.
Captured by the enemy of the Third Realm when the war ended, Rosalind has spent months in the cells of the Fifth Realm with her magic bound, forced to heal the new king’s demon warriors, and haunted by the lives she has taken. When she’s brought to heal an unconscious man, she discovers her only hope of escape has come in the form of her worst nightmare and the first part of a prediction that might spell her doom—a devastatingly handsome and dangerous dark elf prince.
Unwilling to fall under the control of anyone ever again, Vail must escape before the Fifth King can use him as a pawn in a deadly game of revenge, but he cannot leave without Rosalind, the woman who looks at him with dark desire in her stunning eyes and awakens a fierce hunger in his heart. A witch who drives him mad with need even as the darkness within whispers she will enslave him too.
Can Rosalind escape her fate as they embark on a journey fraught with danger and resist the temptation of her rogue elf prince? And can Vail overcome the memories that madden him in order to seize his chance for salvation and the heart of his fated female forever?
Tempted by a Rogue Prince is available from Amazon Kindle, Kobo Books, Barnes and Noble Nook, Apple iBooks stores and other retailers. Also available in paperback.

Tempted by a Rogue Prince – Excerpt
Vail narrowed his gaze on her, studying her delicate features and the way she held herself, drinking in everything about her, searching for a clue as to the reason for his strange reactions to her. Perhaps they had drugged him. It was all a ploy to weaken him and lure him into her trap. They wanted to watch her bring him to his knees. They would laugh as he suffered at her hands.
They were attempting to play on his compassion, but that had been their mistake.
He had no compassion left.
It had been wrung out of him thousands of years ago.
“Please?” she said again and gestured to the slab. “I’m not going to hurt you. I just have to heal you.”
He didn’t want to lay on it and allow her to touch him. He didn’t want her hands on him. Caressing. Fondling. Groping. He snarled and flashed his fangs again, and she shrank back, a little gasp escaping her.
“I would do as she asks, Mate. She isn’t going to hurt you, but if she doesn’t do as ordered, the demons will hurt her.” The deep male voice was little more than a snarl and Vail cast a glance off to his left.
A male with long dark hair streaked with gold occupied the cell opposite his, casually leaning against the thick deep grey stone wall. Green eyes locked with Vail’s, holding him fast. Fae markings tracked up the male’s arms, flushed with blood red and ash black, a sign of aggression. He was handsome too, despite the thick dark beard. He folded his arms across his muscular bare chest, the twin cuffs he wore clanking and filling the heavy silence, but they had no chain between them.
If this male spoke the truth, then she did too, and the guards would punish her for her failure. Vail pressed his hands against the sides of his head, dug his fingers through his blue-black hair and clawed his scalp, raking his nails over it. Gods, he missed his claws. He missed his armour. He needed it back. It was the only thing that could ground him.
The male pushed away from the wall and moved to the bars. He wrapped his hands around them and his gaze slid to the female. Lingering. Possessing.
Vail bared his fangs and hissed at him, barely maintaining the human appearance of his eyes and ears. He had to hold on to his veil. He couldn’t let these people know what he was. Who he was.
The man shrugged and kept staring at the female. “I warned you, Little Girl. You play with vipers and you’ll get bitten.”
“And I told you I will never leave someone to suffer if I can help them,” she snapped and folded her arms across her chest. “Stay out of this, Incubus.”
The male muttered something in the fae tongue and shoved his hands into the pockets of his dirty black jeans.
The female cast a scowl at him and bit out something in the same language.
Vail had long ago forgotten it. It had become useless to him after he and Loren had decided to save their people by moving them from the violent mortal world to the realm of Hell. No one spoke fae down here in this shadowy realm, and he had not left the elf kingdom in centuries.
No. That wasn’t true. He had left it. He had turned his back on it. He had to remember that. He had gone to war with his own people.
All had forsaken him.
But not Loren.
Vail returned to the bench and sagged onto it, his heart heavy and aching behind his ribs. Loren had kept trying to save him. Why? Why hadn’t his brother given up on him? Gods, he had wanted him to. He had pleaded every god of his species to make his brother leave him and forget about him. The gods hadn’t listened to him. He had tried forcing his brother to end his fool’s crusade to save him and save himself instead. Loren had refused.
What had he ever done to deserve such a brother?
He had murdered thousands. He had destroyed lands. He had ignited wars. He had done unspeakable things.
He didn’t deserve forgiveness, so why did a sliver of his heart cling to the hope it might be his?
The female stopped in front of him and he looked up at her, caught off guard by her sudden appearance and unable to mask his pain before she saw it. Her incredible blue eyes reflected it back at him, laced it with compassion that he couldn’t bear.
He closed his eyes, shutting her out, and lay back on the cold slab, no longer caring what she did to him. Loren would never give up. Vail had given up centuries ago.
His beloved brother was so much stronger than he could ever become.
The female dropped to her knees beside him and he tried not to squirm under her attention. He clenched his hands together and battled his instincts and the need to harm her. It wasn’t Kordula. He opened his eyes and stared at her when his mind refused to believe that, forcing himself to see that the one tending to his wounds was someone else. Someone with compassion. Someone beautiful.
This little wild rose was nothing like the dark witch who had driven him mad by degrees, destroying every part of him and building a monster in its place.
“What species are you?” the female whispered and eyed his mouth. “Are you a vampire?”
Vail snarled at her again, exposing his fangs, and didn’t answer her. He needed his strength and was using what he had to keep his veil in place while she healed him. It was difficult to maintain mortal eye colour and the human appearance of his ears while she was funnelling power into him, causing spasms in parts of his body, making him twitch and sending pain ricocheting along his nerves.
“Did you serve on King Thorne’s side in the war?”
He stared blankly at her as memories swirled together in his mind, a mixed up replay of that battle. He had seen Olivia in danger and had lost his head, had slipped into a killing rage and destroyed any who had dared to come near her.
He would have killed King Thorne too if Loren hadn’t appeared.
The sound of his brother’s voice had grounded him together with his presence, the comforting sense of him standing nearby. Loren had brought him back from the abyss, giving him a reprieve, like a shaft of purest sunlight penetrating the blackest boiling storm clouds.
His silence didn’t deter the female.
“Did you fight there and were captured like me?”
His eyes narrowed in suspicion on her. “You are no warrior.”
She was too slender. Too weak and fragile. Captivity hadn’t stripped her of muscle and physical strength. She had always been this way. Slender. Delicate. Not a warrior.
The effort of lifting a sword would most likely see her falling flat on her face from the weight of it.
She shook her head, her blonde locks dancing across her shoulders. “I drove the witches back. I was taking down a few demons with my spells when they grabbed me.”
Witches.
Spells.
Vail batted her hands away from him and growled at her.
His head swam, the cell turning with it, and he blinked hard, trying to focus on her as pain tore through his body, her healing spell going haywire inside him without her to control it. Witches. Spells.
Witch.
“Witch.” He flexed his fingers, filled with a black need to wrap his hands around her throat.
The sharp sound of metal on metal shattered the thick silence and two demon males prowled into the cell. Vail fought the agony eating away at him as he lay on the stone slab and silently bared his fangs at the witch. A stay of execution. When she next crossed his path, he would kill her.
The males grabbed her and he took satisfaction from her gasp and the frightened looks she cast at the demons towering over her.
“Time is up. You did not manage your task,” one male said, a grim smile tugging at his lips as he raked his gaze over her. “You must be punished.”
She immediately reached for Vail, abject fear in her round blue eyes. It drove the darkness from him and something compelled him to rise from the hard slab and punish the demons who meant to harm her. He tried to move, wanted to snag her wrist and pull her to him, needed to protect her but every cell in his body screamed in agony. He was too weak.
He had been too weak to stop these vile creatures from stealing his armour and now he was too weak to protect the female. He was the vile one. Despicable. Pathetic. He had given up and now he needed to fight.
He wouldn’t let them take her from him.
The two males roughly dragged her past him.
“Leave her,” Vail yelled and tried to move again.
He managed to fall from the slab this time, landing on his belly, and fumbled for one of the demon’s ankles. The male was too strong for him and easily broke free of his grip on his boot.
The female fought them, a wild feral creature as she clawed and kicked, and even attempted to bite them. She flailed in their grip, fear etched on her delicate features, terror that dug sharp claws into Vail’s heart and tore at it. They chuckled at her futile attempts to harm them.
They would pay for that.
Vail forced himself to move, refusing to let pain cripple him and stop him from reaching her. He would fight the limits of his body and his mind and wouldn’t stop until he passed out or death embraced him. He would bleed himself dry and destroy himself if only it would save her.
He crawled across the grimy damp dark flagstones towards the cell door, driven to reach her and unable to ignore the instinct to protect her that ran deep in his blood.
Little Wild Rose.
The demons slammed the cell door in his face. He tried to teleport to the other side but nothing happened. He cursed the cuffs binding him and banged them against the bars, desperate to reach her, the need so intense that it overwhelmed him and brought the darkness within him swiftly rising to the surface.
They dragged her out of sight and Vail roared his anger, eliciting whimpers from the occupants of several of the cells surrounding him.
The female shrieked in agony, the sound sending a chill skating over his arms and down his spine, and igniting his rage.
He was only vaguely aware of the world as he snapped the chain between the manacles, launched to his feet and attacked the magically reinforced bars of his cell, filled with a primal need to reach and protect the female.
His Little Wild Rose.

MY REVIEW ~ TRACY
Tempted by a Rogue Prince is the third book in the Eternal Mates series from Felicity Heaton – it tells the story of the dark Elf Prince Vail and Rosalind, who’s a witch.
The first 2 books were really great reads and I have fallen hard for this series and it’s characters.
I’ve been looking forward to Vail’s book since we first encountered him in Kissed by a Dark Prince (his brother Loren’s story)
Vail is a very different animal from his brother, with a haunted past and many many issues, he is a broken, lost and damaged soul (just the type of hero that I want to read about).
Felicity didn’t disappoint in telling us this pairs tale, I LOVED IT…. It has a different pace, very different heat and passion but jeez, it all worked beautifully!!!! After reading TBARP I am an even bigger Vail fan and I love Rosalind… She’s such a brave, caring but spunky wee thing!!!!
Action packed, emotionally engaging, heart wrenching with a fantastic plot and wonderful characters, Felicity has given us a series that is outstanding and I can’t wait to see what happens next in the Realms….
If you haven’t read any of the EM books yet, this is a definite must read that won’t disappoint. If you are already familiar with the Eternal Mates series you’ll be delighted with Vail’s story!
* I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review *
** and I 1-clicked on Amazon as soon as it was available – got to have my purchased copy!! **

COVER REVEAL ~ STEPBROTHER DEAREST by PENELOPE WARD
COVER REVEAL
‘Stepbrother Dearest’ by Penelope Ward
BLURB:
STEPBROTHER DEAREST
You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you.
When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be.
I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here.
I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room.
But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.
At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.
Just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California.
It had been years since I’d seen Elec.
When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again.
And holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.
I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.

PANTY MELTING HAWT !!!
One Night of Sin (AFTER HOURS #1)
A sexy category romance novella from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…
Sometimes it’s good to be bad…
When it comes to sex, good girl Skyler Thompson always plays it safe, choosing stable and sedate over wild and thrilling. She doesn’t do one-night-stands, but one look at sinfully sexy Gage Holt and she’s willing to reconsider. He makes her want to be bad for once in her life, and she’s prepared to take what she wants.
Danger follows former MMA fighter Gage Holt like a shadow. Despite his successes as part owner of Sin, an exclusive nightclub in Boston, Gage can’t risk getting involved with a woman, especially one as sweet as Skyler. Still, he can’t resist a taste—and it’s so damn good he has to see her again.
As addicted as he is to her, Gage knows there’s no future for him and Skyler—not with his past lurking in the dark corners of an MMA cage. But Skylar’s tougher than she looks, and she’s ready to fight for her man.
A RITA-award nominated author, Elle Kennedy grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, Ontario, and holds a B.A. in English from York University. From an early age, she knew she wanted to be a writer, and actively began pursuing that dream when she was a teenager.
Elle currently publishes with Harlequin Romantic Suspense, Harlequin Blaze, Samhain Publishing, and NAL. She loves strong heroines and sexy alpha heroes, and just enough heat and danger to keep things interesting!
“You say the filthiest things,” she moaned.
His warm lips grazed her cheek. “That’s ’cause I’m a filthy boy. A very filthy boy who needs to be punished. So now ride me until I can’t see straight.”
YES YES YES……. IN MY BEST MEG RYAN ORGASM VOICE YES!!!
I WANT TO BE SO, SO BAD WITH GAGE, DO NAUGHTY FILTHY THINGS…………….
RIDE RIDE RIDE
Oh sorry, where was I??? Got a little distracted.
My partner in crime on here, Tracy, was the one who recommended Kit Rocha to me so I tend to trust her judgement! A while back we were discussing hot alpha military romances and she told me I had to try an Elle Kennedy. This is a new series, and a novella, so I decided to dive in and take a look. It may have been my first but it sure as hell won’t be my last.
Elle Kennedy has created a swoon worthy, panty melting bad boy that you will just love. I devoured it. In one sitting. Could not force myself away from him. If this is the standard of her books I will be taking a leave of absence while I read her back catalogue. Yep Gage is that hawt!
I should take a minute to say that Skyler is a more than worthy good girl going filthy bad as she is discovering her sassy girl inside and there are several secondary characters that I would like to see how their stories develop. There is a strong family and friends dynamic which I loved, believable baddies and of course our hero………………
While I always moan that novellas are too short and I needed more, I can’t tell you enough that at $0.99 this is incredibly good value for a ridiculously hot & steamy read that will have your panties melting………………….

RELEASE DAY ~ YOU OWN ME BY SHILOH WALKER
You Own Me
It had always been her…
Ten years had passed since the doors slammed shut behind Decker Calhoun, taking away his freedom, but more importantly, locking him away from Elizabeth Waters, the only woman he’d ever loved—the woman he’d given up everything for.
The day he was sentenced, he’d looked at her and said, No regrets, Lizzie. But he lied, because he did have one. Although he’s been out of jail for three years now, he was a year too late. Lizzie never knew how he felt and just months before he was released, she found somebody else and it’s too late.
Or maybe not. It seems that Lizzie’s boyfriend wants an open relationship and two can play at that game. Now all Decker has to do is convince Lizzie that he’s the better man…and has been all along.
LINKS
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shiloh Walker has been writing since she was a kid… she fell in love with vampires with the book Bunnicula and has worked her way up to the more…ah… serious vampire stories. She loves reading and writing anything paranormal, anything fantasy, but most all anything romantic. Once upon a time, she worked as a nurse, but now she writes full time and lives with her family in the Midwest. She also writes under the pen name J.C. Daniels.
MR TALL TATTED AND TEMPTING ~ REBECCA`S REVIEW
In the world of contemporary romance Shiloh Walker creates some of the best book boyfriends out there. Pure Alpha tendencies tempered with a vulnerability that melts you, of course smokin’ hot with skills in the bedroom doesn’t harm either.
Decker, for me, is on a par with those Rafferty Boys in Fragile and Broken – they are favourites of mine that I thought Ms Walker would never top, however, Mr Tall Tatted & Alpha Decker has snuck in there. It’s almost a backhanded compliment to give this book 4 stars not 5, the one and only reason for that is the length. This is a short sweet and steamy read well written but just not quite long enough.
The chemistry, history and friendship between Decker and Lizzie draws you in and doesn’t let go. They are best friends whose timing was never right and life, as it does, got in the way of. We all make our choices and take the consequences, for Decker and Lizzie this has made for a heart-warming, slow burning, smoking’ hot read with humour, chemistry, romance, lust and a hero you will devour as he endeavours to make their path one they take together.

MARKED BY THE VAMPIRE BY CYNTHIA EDEN
New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Eden invites readers to a dark paranormal world…
Vampires exist. So do werewolves. The creatures that you fear in the darkness? They’re all real. And the baddest of the paranormals…those who love to hurt humans…they’re sent to Purgatory, the only paranormal prison in the U.S.
His job is to stop the monsters.
Deadly forces are at work within Purgatory. The monsters are joining together—and their plans have to be stopped. FBI Agent Shane August, a very powerful vampire with a dark past, is sent into the prison on an undercover assignment. His job is to infiltrate the vampire clan, by any means necessary.
She wants to help the prisoners.
Dr. Olivia Maddox wants to find out just why certain paranormals go bad. What pushes some vampires over the edge? Why do some werewolves turn so savage? If she can understand the monsters, then Olivia thinks she can help them. When she gets permission to enter Purgatory, Olivia believes she is being given the research opportunity of a lifetime.
Olivia doesn’t realize that she’s walking straight into hell.
To survive, they have to rely on each other.
When the prisoners break loose, there is only one person—one vampire—who can protect her, but as Olivia and Shane fight the enemies that surround them, a dark and dangerous passion stirs to life between the doctor and the vamp. Shane realizes that Olivia is a woman carrying secrets—powerful, sinful secrets. Secrets that a man would kill to possess.
And Olivia realizes that—sometimes—you can’t control the beast inside of you. No matter how hard you try. Some passions can push you to the very limits of your control…and the growing lust that she feels for her vampire…it’s sending her racing right into a deadly storm of desire.
Welcome to Purgatory…a place that’s a real hell on earth…

MY REVIEW ~ REBECCA
Cynthia Eden is an automatic not even read the blurb one click when I want an easy hot alpha read, be it her contemporary or paranormal books. While to a certain extent you know what you’re going to get her writing is such that you just don’t care.
This new Purgatory Series has the best of both worlds – vamps and shifters which as a parawhore I love. Reading is always an escape and Cynthia Eden takes you to a world you half wish existed because, as violent and harsh as it may be, these men and their stories are the stuff that fills our dreams.
The Wolf Within (Purgatory 1) and Marked by the Vampire both have fabulous alpha male leads but unfortunately in both books their female partners I found sadly lacking. A little whiney, a little weak and needing a good shake to find their backbone! Despite the awesome yumminess that is Shane, and the usual hot chemistry and sex that you know will be delivered, this was tempered down by the annoying Olivia with her ‘damsel in distress but it’s ok I know my man will rescue me’ attitude. While we know he will I like a little self-preservation and strength in my heroines.
Don`t let my annoyance with Olivia put you off though because this is still a good read, just not her best. I will read the next instalment and am interested to see what happens with Connor as I do love a tortured werewolf!

THE BLURB:
Fate has kept them apart for twenty years.
Their roads hadn’t crossed and the stars didn’t align until now…
Matured, more experienced, pierced, tattooed and hot as hell, Adrian steps back into Mia’s life to reclaim his first love.
And the moment she sees him she can’t even remember her own name.
Adrian Reed had always remained in Mia’s heart. After all, he was her first boyfriend and the man she’d lost her virginity to, but that was twenty years ago. His sudden appearance at a bar, on a girls night out, has Mia acting like the fifteen year old girl she was when they parted.
But life now is not as simple as it was twenty years ago. With two kids, a hopeful ex-husband and new insecurities, Mia finds opening up to a new relationship more challenging.
Will she give her first love another chance, or will she push him away, this time for good?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Author of Erotic Romance, Lacey Silks writes her stories from life experiences, dreams and fantasies. She likes a pinkish shade on a woman’s cheeks, men with large feet and sexy lingerie, especially when it’s torn off the body. Her favorite piece of clothing is a birthday suit.
When she’s not thinking about writing steamy stories, which is a rare occasion, Lacey enjoys camping and skiing with her family (not at the same time of course). She’s a happily married wife blessed with two kids who adore going to the library. She’s an early bird by nature, but loves the nightly adventures with her hubby which provide good content for her books.
