7 from Rock My Senses #mysexysaturday #mss66

“What the hell was that about in there? You’ve got blood dripping down your neck.”

Hello and welcome to the 66th week of My Sexy Saturday. I’m sharing seven paragraphs from my new release, which just came out on Halloween yesterday!

Seven from Rock My Senses

“What the hell was that about in there? You’ve got blood dripping down your neck.”

She dabbed at her neck and stared at her fingers, now stained dark red. “What the—” A snowflake went straight for her finger and we both watched mesmerized as stark white met velvet red and was swallowed by it.

A few snowflakes fell onto her cheeks and her tiny nose and I felt an urge to brush them away, but they melted once they met the warmth of her flushed skin. She had delicate features and pretty blue eyes. She looked familiar, but I couldn’t place how I knew her. Her blonde hair  lay tousled on her shoulders, set off by the black of a dress that clung to her tight little body. My cock had settled down after the freaky incident inside, but twitched back to life again.

“Are you two into some weird-ass drugs and vampire role-play or something?” I asked.

My question distracted her from her blood-covered fingers. She still appeared dazed, but wobbled less. The fresh air and sight of blood must have jolted her back to reality. She reached into her purse and pulled out tissues to blot the blood.

“I’m not judging,” I clarified, in case I embarrassed her. “We all have our things.” When she didn’t answer me, I asked, “Where do you live?”

She focused on me with a dead-eyed stare. “Figures you don’t remember.”

Rock My Senses

Rock My SensesComputer geek by day, by night Mike Harvey becomes outlandish guitarist Chee Keydood for rock band Velvet Cocks. Spotting two women kissing in a club, he thinks he’s in luck.

Allana Miles isn’t sure what came over her, but she sure as hell recognizes Chee and can’t believe he doesn’t remember her from their one-night stand. But she has no time to think about him—she’s too busy opening her own yoga studio to get involved in a relationship.

When they meet again at a New Year’s party, their attraction reignites, too hot to ignore. But they’ve got issues to overcome. Allana catches glimpses of the man behind the façade, but doesn’t think they can fit into each other’s lives even though the sex is great. Mike has always known he’s a bit different, but is shocked to discover his real nature. Will he be able to protect Allana from danger and convince her to take a chance on him?

“Heavy Metal, vampires and shifters make a great combination in this mesmerizing paranormal romance”

While at Book Expo America in NYC, I was delighted to read a fantastic review of Bloodlust and Metal from Night Owl Reviews. Here are some snippets:

Heavy Metal, vampires and shifters make a great combination in this mesmerizing paranormal romance.  

The fast paced plot keeps readers on their toes with lots of action, suspense, drama and romance.  The author describes the story with well written scenes and events that capture the imagination and spine tingling tension builds throughout the story as Layla and Devon try to solve the mystery and danger comes looking for them both. 

The attraction between Devon and Layla radiates from every page and no matter how much they fight it the sex scenes are red hot and scorch the reader with their fiery passion. 
The relationship between the two keeps things real interesting and the danger, passion and action heats things up even more and the drama with the band adds a little more spice to the story as well. 

Intrigued? Here’s more info.

Bloodlust and Metal

Fourth 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.

#Playlist for Fiery Nights by Lisa Carlisle – Underground Encounters series

Since I love listening to music while writing, especially if it strikes a tone with a certain character, I like to include playlists for readers on my site. Since the Underground Encounters series is set in a club, music plays throughout. I just updated my Spotify playlist for Fiery Nights. Here it is:

Fiery Nights

Fiery Nights by Lisa CarlisleSecond 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.

“There is steamy sizzling hotness and then totally pure romance that makes you awww out loud! The HEA (Happily Ever After) is one of the best I’ve read and I highly recommend this story to anyone and everyone! ~ Satin Sheets Romance

“Fiery Nights is an imaginative tale about witches and elementals, vampires and plain old creepy people… the plot was entertaining, the setting was well defined and the sex scenes were yummy.” ~ You Gotta Read.

Night Owl Reviews Names Gargoyle’s Embrace a Top Pick! #bookreviews

toppickOh what a wonderful morning to wake up and discover that Gargoyle’s Embrace was named a Top Pick by Night Owl Reviews! Here are a couple of highlights:

“The main and secondary characters were genuine and fascinating. At only 50 pages, it does not have the feel of a quick read with a clear beginning, middle and end. Overall, this was a great book. While I have not read the other books in the series, I will be picking them up shortly.”

And…

“The chemistry between Danton and Tracy is scorching.”

Lisa Carlisle

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.

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.”

“A definite read for any #PNR fan” – Review for Gargoyle’s Embrace

gargoylesembrace_msrThrilled to wake up to a new review of Gargoyle’s Embrace:

“Gargoyle’s Embrace was exactly what I needed that to fill that hankering for a sweet, hot PNR. Danton is quite the man or should I say gargoyle. Strong, silent, ever watching over to protect Tracy, little does she know she has a protector close by. This romance is sweet, with just the right combination steam and story to make this PNR fanatic smile.”

Is Bigger Better? MFRW Home for the Holidays Blog Hop

bloghopsWe had a fake tree growing up, but once I met my husband he introduced me to the tradition of shopping for a real Christmas tree.

What did you think I was talking about? 😉

Each year, the trees seem to get bigger and bigger, swallowing up part of my living room and blocking me from one of my book cases. Sometimes I stay home and make hot cocoa while he goes out with the kids, but this year I went with them to “make sure they don’t get a tree that’s too big.”

I went with them all right. And I pointed out a tree that I thought would work nice. They all agreed and we brought it home. Once we tried setting it up in the living room, my husband exclaimed, “This is the biggest tree we’ve ever had in here. I don’t think it’s going to fit!”

Whoops! So if you shop for a tree this time of year, tell me your tips for picking the right tree.

I’d also like to share my latest release that just came out with Ellora’s Cave. It’s a short, hot paranormal romance featuring a very sexy gargoyle. I love the idea of protective gargoyles.
