Author Spotlight: Kelly Moran

Thanks so much for having me! I will give away an eBook copy of The Dysfunctional Test to one commenter.



Book Blurb:
You are cordially challenged to a test of true love... Thanks to her large, crazy Serbian family, Camryn Covic is an expert at shutting down her emotions in order to maintain her sanity. But when she loses her apartment, her job and her boyfriend all in one day, she hits her breaking point. Worse, if her family finds out she's single again, her sister's upcoming wedding will be a disaster. The bride-to-be has a plan, though. A plan that involves an old friend, a pretend relationship... and the probability of ending up in a padded cell. Troy Lanske agrees to the crazy plan only because Camryn was once his lifeline as a foster child. But she isn't the idealistic girl he remembers. She's become so jaded that she doesn't even believe in love anymore. He sets out to restore her faith in happily-ever-afters, but his plan backfires when the fake relationship begins to feel all too real. Falling for the one woman he can't have could mean losing more than just his honorary family. He could lose everything.
Excerpt:
“What’s wrong?” she asked, worried the heat or altitude was getting to him. When they first exited the car she noticed how much thinner the air was. Perhaps he hadn’t adjusted yet. “I have an idea, and you won’t like it.” “Then my answer is no.” “You haven’t heard the idea yet.” “I don’t need to. If you think it’s a bad idea…” “I didn’t say it was a bad idea. I said you wouldn’t like it.” She crossed her arms. “Same difference.” He looked un-amused. “Everyone is sitting across the yard over there. We can see them, which means they can see us. We need a public display.” She didn’t like the sound of that. But before she could process fully, he slid an arm around her waist and drew her to him. Hard chest. Wall of hard chest. Now there was no air. “Act like we’ve done this before,” he whispered. “Done what?” “Kiss, Cam. Act like you’ve kissed me before.” “How am I supposed to do…?” The words died in her throat as his mouth closed over hers.
Here's the trailer!

VBT ~ Angel Payne Hnndcuffed by Her Hero


Handcuffed By Her Hero

 Blurb:
Between a rock and a hard place.

To Sergeant Zeke Hayes, the expression has always been a non-factor. There's never been a situation he can't blast, punch, or smart-ass his way out of, which makes him the perfect fit for his Special Forces battalion--and a natural-born Dominant who's made a lot of submissives happy from Mt. Rainier to Vancouver.

That all changes when Rayna Chestain enters his world.

A rock.

From the moment Z snatches Rayna from the lair of a South Asian slave trafficker, his inner grizzly roars to life. This is a huge damn problem, because Z isn't wired to be a one-woman man. Growing up an orphan on the streets of Seattle has taught him that beyond a few hours in a dungeon, trust means disappointment and love leads to agony. But here he is, in the remote wilderness escape he'd promised not to share with anyone, harboring Rayna from a fiend who now wants his pound of revenge flesh from her.

A hard place.

Sheltering Rayna? Z's never done anything more right in his life. But wanting her? Dreaming of her beneath him, surrendering to his passion and domination? It's the most forbidden fruit he can crave...and the only thing he can't stop thinking about.
A new beginning?
This is a dead-end canyon that no rifle, bomb or sweet talk will let Zeke escape from. The only way out is to confront the reality of what Rayna has done to him...the mountain she's moved in his intractable heart.

VBT ~ Trouble in Thigh High Boots by Elizabeth Black



Trouble In Thigh High Boots

Blurb:
This isn't your mother's Puss In Boots.

This erotic version of Puss In Boots, "Trouble In Thigh High Boots" is a story packed with hot, sexy, body-humping adult fairy tale erotica.


""Trouble in Thigh High Boots" is a delightfully creative retelling of the Puss in Boots tale. It is a tale that has been told myriad times, but never in such a wonderfully imaginative way. The characters are enchanting, and the story flows beautifully. The love scenes are sizzling."

-- Hitherandthee of Night Owl Reviews


WARNING: Tita isn't your run of the mill Puss In Boots. She's a cat shapeshifter who turns into a mouth-wateringly sexy human woman with a sex drive to match. This story includes M/F, F/F, M/F/M/F, light bondage, and erotic lactation. This erotic fairy tale will get you hot in all the right places. Definitely for only 18 years and over.

Tita is a Puss In Boots with a little something extra. Being a magical creature, she shifts from a kitty into the form of an alluring, ginger-haired woman when the situation demands it. And what a situation she finds herself in! Her new master Dylan is a poor man who needs a boost in the world. Sly Tita uses her seductive wiles to pass him off to the villagers and the king as the Marquis of Carabas in order to help both of them gain their fortunes. Her plan is not without its problems. Dylan's malicious brother, Zane, lusts after Tita, and he wants her all to himself, but she refuses to succumb to his treachery. Being a cat first and foremost, she purrs in the arms of her many lovers but her heart belongs to only one man - the king. She hopes that in ensuring Dylan his lofty place in the world the king finds a place in his heart for her. Her life becomes an erotic adventure in reaching her goals.

Weaving a Fairytale World Into Romance


Fairy tales are inherently romantic. Sleeping Beauty and Snow White are awakened by true love's kiss. Rapunzel is saved from a lonely existence by a handsome prince who happened to hear her beautiful singing voice coming from her tower. The handsome prince slipping Cinderella's glass slipper onto her tiny foot hints at a wedding ring to come. Beauty sees the love and humanity in the Beast. In a similar fashion, the princess sees past the frog's warts, kisses him, and releases a handsome prince from a curse. True love conquers all! Even the Little Mermaid knows that her prince's true love will bring her humanity, even though her story does not turn out the way she wished.
Stepmothers don't figure so well in fairy tales, but they provide a necessary counterbalance to enhance the heroine's innocent, purity, and beauty. Despite the wicked stepmother stealing the queen's children in The Six Swans, the queen is unable to speak or laugh for six years until she finishes sewing shirts made from star flowers to relieve her six brother's from a curse laid upon them by the wicked stepmother who had turned them into swans. Snow White's stepmother the wicked queen tries three times to kill her, yet her attempts only make Snow stronger. Rapunzel's stepmother passes herself off as her mother and imprisons her in a tower. It takes a handsome prince to release her.
Fairy tales are very popular these days. The movies brought us Disney's watered down (and not as dark) versions of fairy tales like Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel ("Tangled"), Cinderella, and Snow White. Then there is "Snow White And The Huntsman". "Once Upon A Time" is one of the most popular shows on television. All show the power of true love's kiss bringing happiness and love to the hero and heroine.

One of my favorite fairy tales is Puss In Boots, which is a tale of both romance and high adventure. Puss seeks to improve his life by passing off his new master as the fictitious Marquis of Carabas so that both of them may acquire their fortunes. The goal is to lead a life of comfort and pleasure, which is a far cry from the toiling and poverty they currently live in. I liked Puss's clever nature, his creativity, his cunning, and his sense of adventure. All of those qualities and more are why I chose to write an erotic romance version of Puss In Boots entitled "Trouble In Thigh High Boots".


The first thing I did was change Puss from a tom cat to a tall, sexy red-headed female cat shape shifter named Tita. Tita is short for "la gatita", which is Spanish for "female kitten". Tita is not her real name. She will only tell her real name to the man she loves - the king. She's a long way off from standing by his side, though. The king was well acquainted with her when she was a kitten and he was a lad (although he didn't know she was a shape shifter), but tragedy drove them apart. "Trouble In Thigh High Boots" starts out with Tita convincing her new master, a poor cobbler named Dylan, to allow her to pass him off as the Marquis of Carabas. Their little con act will hopefully bring them food, wine, land, and fortune. Can Tita pull all that off? Read the book to find out.
