Are you ready for an Unexpected Eden? Join my guest Lexi Post.



Brenna, thank you so much for having me. I’m so excited about my latest release Unexpected Eden, the 2nd book in The Eden Series. This series is focused on Eden, a planet colonized when the Crius abducted humans from Earth over a thousand years ago.

Of course, those humans evolved a little differently and though a bit more advanced than us, they haven’t been able to figure out why no females are born on Eden, so they portal to Earth to find a chosen one. When they have successfully captured her heart, they bring her home…at least that is the way it’s supposed to work.

In Serena’s case, when her life is threatened on Earth, the three men (oh, did I mention that every woman must take at least two husbands?) rush to save her, and bring her to Eden, even though they know it’s not time for her to learn she is their beloved. That doesn’t make for a very smooth transition to a new planet and a new life. 

Serena can’t help but be attracted. Her Edenists are hunks, they come with special abilities, and they live naked. However, they have some serious baggage thanks to their families’ views of their abilities. She’s looking at staying a week for a well-deserved vacation; they think they can convince her to become their beloved and stay forever. 

In the excerpt below, you can see exactly how much she’s enjoying her vacation ;-)

Anyone up for a vacation on Eden? If so, I have included a rafflecopter for those who would like a chance to visit in the first book of the series Cruise into Eden. Or if naked cowboys or sinful ghosts are more to your liking, there is a chance for those too! Good luck!

Always, Lexi
Erotic romances inspired by the classics

Excerpt from Unexpected Eden:
A noise outside had Serena jumping up and turning toward the doorway. It opened and Jahl came in, followed by Khaos. Jahl’s face revealed nothing but Khaos wore a grin. She finally relaxed. “I was worried about you.”
Jahl halted, confusion clear on his face. “Why?”
She put her hand on her hip. Were they really that clueless? “Because last I knew, you two were fighting. I didn’t know if it had come to physical blows, if you were just busy directing people, or if you had been killed by criminals.”
“We were drinking.” Khaos smiled warmly.
She threw her hands up. “Drinking? Guess I wasted my time being worried then. Far be it for me to expect to be told what’s going on.” Exasperated, she turned from them, ready to go to bed without them.
Khaos grasped her from behind, his arm encircling her waist as he spoke against her ear. “Wait. We’re sorry. We didn’t know you were worried. No one has worried about us before.”
His statement, made so matter-of-factly, was all the more heart-wrenching. She melted. Titling her head to see his eyes, she laid her hand on his cheek. “I do care about you.”
He turned his head and kissed her palm.
“What about me?” Jahl came to stand in front of her, his face hard, his gaze shuttered.
If she’d just met him, she would think him cold, but she‘d begun to understand the softness beneath his hard exterior. Looping her other hand around his neck, she looked into his eyes. “Yes, I care about you as well.”
His dark-blue gaze flickered and his jaw relaxed, the only sign he’d heard her, but it was enough. He stepped closer, his hand snaking around her waist too. “Serena.” Her name as he spoke it was like a craving and desire ran through her.
Khaos entwined his fingers with hers as his lips touched her temple in a soft caress. Jahl pressed himself against her, his chest pushing her into Khaos’ hard body. She let her head fall back upon Khaos’ shoulder. He took advantage of her position to kiss her.
It wasn’t the gentle kiss of the night before. His tongue swept into her mouth, demanding her surrender, even as Jahl’s lips found her shoulder and he sucked hard. Excitement sped through her body all the way to her toes.
Jahl moaned and pushed harder against her, his hard cock rubbing on her jeans, sandwiching her into Khaos’ erection as it pressed against her ass. She sucked on Khaos’ tongue in response, loving the feel of being desired.
Khaos broke the kiss. “You wear too many clothes.”

Blurb:
Pyrotechnics expert, Serena Upton, wonders if she’s been transported into one of the science fiction movies she works on. It certainly seems so when she’s rescued by three hot, naked men from another planet. She’s whisked away to Loraleaf, their home in the jungle of Eden, with the expectation that she will become their beloved. As they cater to her in every way, she begins to understand what it means to be their chosen one.
Jahl and Khaos risked everything, even the brother of their heart, to bring Serena home, but grief and self-doubt, etched in stone by their own families, seems insurmountable. Their only hope is that she can fill the void in their lives. They succeed in sweeping her up in their erotic passion, but they are unable to capture her heart.
Though Serena cares for Jahl and Khaos, she’s convinced she’s not the answer to their damaged souls. It’s better that she return to her family on Earth before she cares too much. That is, if she doesn’t already.

Your Wild Heart by Dena Garson



If you love wolf shifter stories, you're indeed in luck.  My guest today, Dena Garson, just released Your Wild Heart.  And, to help you learn a little more about this fab book and it's characters, we've got an interview with the shifter himself, Wyatt.  *sigh*


Character Interview:

Hello, Wyatt. Thanks for agreeing to do this interview with me. Would you mind introducing yourself?
I’m Wyatt Powell. I’m a Ranger at the Black Hills National Park. And, since you already know it, I’m a member of the Los Lobos Pack. My Pack mates call me by my Sioux name, Hotah.

What made you want to be a Park Ranger?
Actually, it was the influence of George, a friend and former boss. I began working for him not long after I learned to drive. I loved being out on the open range and working with the herd. Even the nastiest, dirties jobs on the ranch were better than working at a fast food joint or under the hood of a car.
The idea of being cooped up behind a desk all day has never appealed to me. I always wanted to have a job that let me be outside, in nature, at least most of the day.
After serving a few tours in the army, I came home, went back to work for George and used my GI Bill to get my degree. Landing the job here at the Black Hills was more than I could have expected. It allowed me to be home, near my family and my pack but still maintain a sense of independence.

There have been a lot of changes in the Tao pack recently. What do you think of your new alpha, Drew?
He’s a good man. I respect him and the efforts he’s making for the pack have really turned things around.
My mom left Los Lobos after my father was killed and returned to her tribe. To her family. When I returned from my tours of duty, Grandfather warned me that I should keep my distance from the pack. But I couldn’t completely turn my back on my pack mates. I helped where I could. And when Drew finally stepped up we were able to come to an agreement on how I could maintain my connection with my Sioux heritage, advance my career with the Park and still support the pack.

What can you tell us about your pack family? The Tao pack?
Nothing.

Nothing? Not even a little bit?
No. You are not Pack. If you have questions, you can ask Drew. I’m under oath to not speak of this subject with outsiders. I take oaths very serious.

I see that. Well, that’s inconvenient for my interview, but an admirable quality in a man. I suppose we could always read a few of the other Black Hills Wolves books to get the inside scoop. Okay, so what was your first impression of Isabelle - I mean, Dr. Acker?
That she was reckless and could only mean trouble.

Obviously, something happened that made you change your mind.
*chuckles* I don’t know that I’ve changed my mind about that. I still think she can be a bit reckless but I don’t mind it so much now. She’s my mate. That’s all that matters.

Awww. That’s sweet. I understand her family came to visit. How are things going with them?
Pretty well. Her brother is certainly making himself at home around here. *mumbles about overprotective brothers* My mother and Izzy’s mother hit it off pretty well. They spent one whole afternoon swapping stories about us as kids. Izzy is never going to let me hear the end of a couple of those potty training tales.

I don’t suppose you’d like to share any of those stories, would you?
Not a chance.

Hmmm. I didn’t think so.
Well, thanks again for dropping by for this interview. I wish you and Isabelle the very best!




Blurb:

Wildlife biologist, Isabelle Acker, meets sexy park ranger, Wyatt Powell. His Wolf sits up and takes notice of her, but when he learns why she came to the park, he becomes wary of her intentions. After all, as far as the general population knows, there are no wolves in the Black Hills.

Ordered by his Alpha to keep an eye on the smoking-hot biologist, Wyatt finds it difficult to keep his hands to himself. He wants to possess her, to share everything about his life, but that might endanger the Tao Pack. But the attraction proves too great and, unable to deny his Wolf, he takes her with a passion he didn’t know he possessed.

However, their sexual bliss is short-lived, and on the night of the full moon, more than one secret is revealed. When all is said and done, they must each decide—is what they have between them true love or just hot sex?


Excerpt:

“Is that why you’re here? To study the environment? I thought you were some big wolf specialist?” Wyatt asked.
“Wolves are my specialty. They are interesting because I believe their behaviors, or more to the point, changes in their behavior patterns can be an indicator of changes in the environment.”
“What do you mean?”
“They act as an early warning system if you know what to look for.”
“So, what are you doing in the Black Hills? There aren’t any wolves here,” he challenged.
“I think there are,” Isabelle said in a matter-of-fact tone.
He raised his brow to mock her words, but inside, an alarm went off. “I’ve worked in the park for over five years. I’ve lived in the area my entire life. There are no wolves here.”
She shrugged her shoulder. “I aim to prove that one way or the other.”
Wyatt gulped the last of his coffee and stood. “Well, I hope you don’t leave too disappointed.”
“We’ll see,” she said with a sly smile.
“Thank you for the coffee.” He set the cup on the table. “I need to return to work.”
“So, was this a social call then?”
“Maybe a little of both.” He pulled a business card out of his wallet and slid it under the mug. “That’s my number. If you run into any problems, give me a call.”
“Thank you.”
He tugged the brim of his cap. “Be careful out here.”
“I will.”
With one last look, he headed to his truck. He hated the idea of her staying out here alone. She may have years of experience camping and be able to defend herself in many cases, but a lone female in the middle of nowhere was asking for trouble. Anything could happen.
But it wasn’t his place to tell her otherwise.
Right now, his concern for the pack took priority. Her stay in the park could endanger the secrecy and privacy they’d worked so hard to cultivate.
Drew, their Alpha, would never allow that.
What would Drew do to her if he decided she was a threat? After some of the vicious things his dad had done, pack leadership still made him leery. But it would be worse if Wyatt didn’t report what he knew and things spiraled out of control. Many lives—many families—could be affected, and that he couldn’t live with.
As soon as he got in and buckled his seatbelt, he pulled out his phone. His call connected. “It’s Wyatt. We may have a problem.”
