Shifter Hop – Lisa Carlisle’s Dark Velvet

shifterhop

I love shifters as I’m sure you do, too, is you’re visiting the stops on this hop. I’ve noticed kids loves these stories, too, as my daughter often told a story of a girl who turned into a lion. 😉

I’m happy to share my latest release, which is on sale for only 99 cents for a short time. It’s the first part of a new series, featuring shifters, gargoyles, and vampires on a remote New England island. Very hot paranormal romance.

Dark Velvet

darkvelvetGrad student Savannah Evans is thrilled to be accepted as a resident to a prestigious art colony. Where else would she be able to focus on her craft of writing poetry in a setting like that of the medieval-styled castle? The remote New England island is a respite from her hectic city life. When she meets her benefactor, a mysterious French sculptor, her expectations for carefree days writing near the ocean are distracted by unprofessional fantasies about her sponsor.

Antoine Chevalier built Les Beaux Arts on DeRoche Island to bring purpose back to an existence that has lost meaning. He’s wandered the earth for decades and finds solace in returning to art. When Savannah applies for a residency, something about her words touches him. After her arrival, a physical attraction grows between them, which he struggles against.  She deserves more than someone of his kind.

Antoine proposes they become lovers during her stay. But the situation turns complicated when Savannah discovers his secret. She had suspicions about his identity, but finds the truth overwhelming. Consumed by her desire for Antoine and faced with a tough decision, she is blind to the danger that has arrived at DeRoche Island.

New Year’s Blog Hop with Lisa Carlisle

NYEBH Banner

Welcome to the first Annual Smile Somebody Loves You New Years Eve Blog Hop. I am starting off the new year with a new release. Red Sage is releasing A Marine’s Proposal, my novella set on the exotic island of Okinawa, Japan, on January 1st. So  I’ll be on my computer all day busy with all the details involved with a new release! As an author, I can’t think of a better way to start the new year. We get very excited about these things. We don’t sleep, we can’t sit still. We pace with excitement and anxiety about our addition to the family. 😉

A Marine’s Proposal

A Marine's Proposal by Lisa Carlisle

When Slade Masters, her closest friend in the Marine Corps, proposes to her, Caitlyn O’Neill lets her thrill overshadow the catch. It’s a marriage in name only. Slade thinks a temporary marriage is the perfect solution to their problematic living situations in the barracks. Despite her reservations about the deceit involved, Caitlyn is thrilled to live off-base and experience the culture of the island of Okinawa, Japan, as a local—especially with Slade. Swept up in the excitement of apartment hunting and planning a wedding, she silences the anxiety within and goes along with Slade’s plans. They struggle to fight their growing attraction while acting on their script. On their wedding night, their bodies heat up with the thrill of being so close. Desire intensifies during a heated moment on the dance floor. How can they play off the charade of their marriage now that they have complicated their arrangement? Have they ruined their plan or will they find a way to continue? Or has their passionate night together uncovered hidden desires impossible to ignore?

Available at Red Sage

I hope this is the start of many new releases coming out in 2014. I’ve completed the first draft of a paranormal erotic romance in my Underground Encounters series with Ellora’s Cave. Gargoyle’s Embrace just came out. It’s a sexy shorter story in the series, what they aptly call “Quickies.”

gargoylesembrace_msrGargoyle’s Embrace

Fifth in the Underground Encounters series. Tracy isn’t sure why she’s drawn to a particular gargoyle statue in the Goth club where she works. After the stone takes human form to protect her from her abusive ex, she brings the handsome, naked male to her apartment. It’s impossible to ignore the seductive appeal of a man sculpted like a Viking warrior. Danton has only hours in human form to spend with the woman he has hungered for. He’s convinced what’s between them is more than hot sex, but he needs to convince Tracy of that before he turns back to stone.

Hot Halloween Heroes Giveaway Hop

What is it about paranormal characters that makes them so irresistible? Vampires, shapeshifters, gargoyles–I can’t get enough of them. And when you pair them with a rock setting, I’m hooked. Something about the dark, solitary figure of the paranormal characters and the bad boy/bad girl image of the rock star draws me in.

I’m Lisa Carlisle and I write a paranormal romance series for Ellora’s Cave called Underground Encounters. Paranormal characters and humans meet in an underground goth club–vamps, shifters, gargoyles, and sometimes rock stars! Here are the two recent releases in the series (each can be read on its own, not necessarily in order).

Bloodlust and MetalBloodlust and Metal

Book 4 in the Underground Encounters series

On the run from a master vampire, young vampire Layla Black flees London to reinvent herself as the singer of an Eighties cover band in Boston. Devon St. Clair is the bounty hunter hired to track her down. As a shapeshifter with extraordinary skills, his reputation is known throughout the supernatural world. Capturing Layla should be an easy gig that will net a nice profit.

The situation doesn’t go as Devon plans. He wants Layla in his bed, but shapeshifters and vampires don’t mix. They should hate each other, but instead they’re keeping the sheets steamy. When circumstances force them on the run together, their preconceived notions are challenged. If they can evade those hunting them and convince his fellow shapeshifters to help her even though she’s a vampire, they just might have a chance to explore where all that hot, sweaty sex can take them.

“Bloodlust and Metal is a wonderful and enticing story.”

“The relationship between Devon and Layla in intricately built to lure the reader in. The enticement of love built from the ashes of the past is like catnip keeping the reader sitting on the edge. The evolution is amazing and demonstrates life can change even the most hardened heart.”
~ Coffee Time Romance and More

rockmetonight_msrRock Me Tonight

Third in the Underground Encounters series

Lily Everett wants a lover, but won’t consider a permanent relationship, because she harbors a secret she’s certain no one will understand. When she meets the singer of a rock band at an underground nightclub, she’s disarmed by his sensual voice and mischievous good looks. After an icy introduction, Lily warms up to Nico’s charms.

A computer geek by day, Nico dons a rock singer persona by night. He’s tired of women pursuing him just because he’s in a band—the sex may be handy, but he wants something more. He’s intrigued by Lily’s reticence.

Keeping her emotional distance proves difficult the more Lily uncovers the intelligent, considerate man hiding behind Nico’s bad-boy persona. Their encounters are hot-hot-hot, but Nico wants more from Lily than sex. When Lily lets down her guard and reveals her other side, Nico’s shock destroys their closeness and they both doubt they can overcome their differences.

He may own a Goth nightclub, but Tristan Stone avoids people—the darkness that surrounds them drains him. When he sees Maya for the first time, alone on the dance floor, a light surrounds her. He must discover who she is and what gives her power. He wants her, must have her.

Maya sees a man with haunting eyes watching her from the back of the club. She feels their connection, but thinks it’s merely physical attraction. Their passion ignites, overpowering them, and they must work together to understand their connection. The heat of their passion could send their world up in flames.

Summer Seduction Blog Hop with Lisa Carlisle

To kick off this hot summer, I had two new releases in my series, both with a rock ‘n’ roll element. What’s hotter than a rock star? I don’t know what it is, but there’s something so sexy about a man crooning on stage or playing an instrument, especially guitar.

I’m giving away a digital copy of Rock Me Tonight or Bloodlust and Metal to one lucky commenter through my Rafflecopter giveaway. Be sure to leave a comment below on who you think would be the sexier hero, Nico or Devon.
