Fiery Nights
Second in the Underground Encounters series
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.
A Romantica® erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
Smoldering Nights
First in the Underground Encounters series
Out Now at Ellora’s Cave!
Nike lo
ves visiting the goth club Vamps—she can exchange her firefighter uniform for a slinky fantasy outfit. There she runs into the man she’d been admiring from afar at a rock climbing gym. He’s been the star of all her fantasies, so is it any wonder they end up in his private room upstairs? Just when things begin to heat up, Michel’s enemies appear.
Only Michel isn’t an ordinary mortal. And someone from his past is on the hunt for vengeance. Michel and Nike are forced on the run and hide out in a coastal cottage in Maine. They can’t resist their attraction and spend the nights exploring each others’ bodies while trying to sort out how they feel about each other. Can they overcome their differences to be together? And how will they evade the predators who are chasing them?

Absolutely love PNR. Vamps & Were’s are a fave of mine and have been for sometime.

Cool. Thanks for stopping by, Gayle.
I love vampires they are so sexy, My favorites are from the Dark Hunters by Sherrilyn Kenyon (any one of them will do 🙂 , Zsadist and Rhage from BDB from J.R. Ward, Eric from True Blood (sookie stackhouse series) Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter …… my list could go on and on.
Sherrilyn Kenyon is on my TBR list.
Oh, yes, Eric! Yummy…
I love Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changling series, Hawke is alpha of the wolf shifters AND Gerard Butler as Dracula.

Gerard Butler is Dracula? I have to let my sister know. Thanks!
I like both but i do have to say that Sherrilyn Kenyon’s darkhunter series has a little of both due to the were aspect included in her stories.
j.m.platt83@gmail.com
I have to read this series!
I’m all about the vamps. My fave is JR Ward Blackdagger Brotherhood and Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunters
A lot of comments on Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunters. I have to move them to the top of my list!
I prefer vamps but love werewolves too 🙂
For vampires: Kresley Cole’s Lothaire, Charlaine Harris’s Eric, Jeaniene Frost’s Bones, Vlad, & Ian, JR Ward’s BDB men, & Sherrilyn Kenyon’s DH men 🙂
For werewolves: Kresley Cole’s Lykae pack (especially Bowen), Charlaine Harris’s Alcide & Sherrilyn Kenyon’s weres 🙂
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Yes, Eric and Alcide. Agree!
I love werewolves, but do love some vampire stories as well. My favorites are all of Patricia Briggs’s books and I love Stephanie Nelson’s Gwen Spark’s series (vampires) and The Anna Avery series (werewolves).

I’ll have to check these out. Thanks.
I love a sexy possessive growly Alpha werewolf!! So hot!

Quite a few werewolf fans. Hmm…
Thanks for commenting!
I have to say, vampires all the way! LOL 🙂 I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Antonio Banderas as Armand but can’t leave out Tom and Brad who were also yummy! Keifer Sutherland made a bad ass vampire in Lost Boys. Stuart Townsend made a sexy companion to the already sexy Aalyiah in Queen of the Damned (my fav movie)! I liked Eric Notham but only with his long hair. Once he cut those locks off, that was it for me. Salma Hayek made a creepy yet sexy vampire in From Dusk Til Dawn. I’ve always fantacized about Christine Feehan’s erotic vampires. Especially the ones in her ‘dark’ series (Dark Prince, Dark Magic, etc). I’ll have to check out the Sherrilyn Kenyon books too. Sound interesting! Go Vamps!
Yay, another Vamps vote!
Yes, Kiefer is great in Lost Boys. And the guy who plays Michael in it is sexy.
I like Eric better with short hair, even though I like long hair. Weird.
Thanks for stopping by.
Oh, almost forgot….and I love my sexy female vamps that I write about. They are sultry, sexy, and bad ass! Thanks all! thevampirequeen1@gmail.com
Keep Writing!

I love to read erotic romances. It’s almost all I read. And while I do like the smokin vamps, I am Team Werewolf. Here’s why.. I love a loyal sexy man. Who cares if he sheds now and then? And the growling… that really floats my boat. 😀 Weres are strong, loyal, sexy, protective, sexy, caring, sexy, charming, and sexy. 🙂
Now as to books I would recommend… the “Leashed” series by Jet Mykles, the “Pack/Pride” series by Shelly Laurenston, the “Dragon Kin” series by G. A. Aiken, the “Freakn” series by Eve Langlais, the “Anita Blake” series by Laurel K. Hamilton, the “Breeds” series by Lora Leigh, and the “Granite Lake Wolves” series by Vivian Arend. If you haven’t tried them you are missing out. Thanks for the chance to win. reneebennett35 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Thanks, Renee. I will definitely check out these books.
Vampires all the way!
I have three vamps to add—I LOVED Gary Oldman as Dracula, Gerard Butler in Dracula 2000 (even though the movie itself left something to be desired), and Alex O’Loughlin in the TV show Moonlight.
I could suggest vamp fiction that a lot of people have already read, but I’ll suggest the Vampire Empire trilogy by Clay and Susan Griffith. It’s a very well-written romance set against a futuristic steampunk background (don’t expect any steamy scenes, though). Gareth is not only a hot vampire, but the things he does for Adele are just adorable!
Gary Oldman is fantastic as Dracula! He’s fantastic in anything. 🙂
I’ll check out the trilogy you recommended. Thanks.
I love both creatures but tend to be drawn to vamps more. I absolutely LOVE JR Ward’s BDB and Qhuinn makes me weak with his sexy yet sensitive self!

I’ll have to check out the JR Ward books. Thanks for commenting!
Im new to this genre. I would have to say werewolves. I cant wait to read these books. They sound so good to read.

Thanks, Laura!
I have to pick a wolf. I can’t imagine cuddling up to a cold vampire, my old joints need the heat a wolf will put off. Thank you for the giveaway.
cmucha319@yahoo.com
LOL.
Thanks, Cindy.
Love them both! I guess usually more vamps though:) Thanks for the chance to win! saltsnmore at yahoo dot com
Yes, another vote for vamps! Thanks.
I generally prefer the werewolves; I’m always intrigued by the pack dynamics.
a dot charol at yahoo dot ca
The pack dynamic is interesting. Thanks for pointing that out.
its hard because i think they are both so sexy but if i had to i would pick werewolf’s
Thanks, Kimberly.
I love the werewolf more than the vampires. I like the whole aspect of the animal. silent signals and pack interaction ect.
Judy
strawberryrose@earthlink.net
That pack interaction and silent communication is pretty cool.
I also like the idea of an isolated vampire. Very alluring.
Thanks for commenting and good luck!
I read both types of books, if it is a good story, then it’s a good story and I’m happy. However, I am drawn to that bad boy, with the rugged good looks. So, weres typically fall into that category.
However, if you’re looking for those rugged vamps, check out The Shadow Wranglers series by Sarah McCarty. The vamps are also friends with some equally rugged weres.
My current favorite vamp: Az from Death’s Angel by Heather Killough-Walden
My current favorite were: I narrowed this down earlier and now I’ve forgotten LOL. Let’s go with Jolene from Molly Harper’s Jane Jamison series. She’s a hoot!
Thanks for the stop.

Bad boys with rugged good looks. Ooh yes, I’m listening. 😉
I’ll check out that series. Thanks!
I hate to choose I really do, but thanks to the mouth-watering Eric Northman I am Team Vampire!! Although, I wouldn’t kick a hot sexy alpha wolf outta my bed for eating crackers if you know what I mean 😉 😉
Thanks for the great giveaway!!

Yes! How long do we have to wait until True Blood starts again? That’s my one show I have to watch.
I like werewolves.
Thanks for commenting. 🙂
I am team werewolf but I am not completely opposed to vampires. Thanks for the great giveaway!

Thanks, Ellen.
I honestly love them both! Their portrayed differently in every series or book so I may hate one in this story but turn around and love them in the next. Thanks for the giveaway!
Good point, Amber! Thanks for stopping by.
