The Dom's Dungeon







I love a good BDSM book and with the right Dom, it makes it all the more better. But what makes the ultimate Dom?

Is it in the way they carry themselves, with purpose or swagger? Or the way they make you wait in anticipation, with your insides churning with the knowledge of what's to come? It's in the precise way they bound you, the whispered words they say, and the heavy hand that stings.

Okay, okay, I'm getting ahead of myself here. So to answer this question of who is the ultimate Dom, we've asked fellow bloggers, readers and erotica romance authors to pick who is their favorite Dom. Here are your choices...

















 Excerpt:


For the millionth time she wondered how this was happening – how she’d let this happen. And yet, it felt powerful somehow. Mark said he would push her, but, more important, she was pushing herself to explore these fantasies she’d been hiding for so long.



“Are you ready?”
Her belly quivered with nerves and anticipation. “Yes.” She braced herself on the floor.
She heard his boots thudding as he circled her. “Can you follow instructions?”
“Yes.”
“Then why are you still wearing your panties?”

Excerpt:
She walked to the edge and perched gingerly, hands clasped in her lap. He moved with grace and elegance that was a contradiction to the rough, animalistic way he’d fucked her mouth just an hour before. He was indeed a contradiction, one that intrigued her. Outwardly he seemed so civilized, so refined. He was the epitome of culture, a consummate gentlemen. And yet there was a caveman buried under the polished exterior. A man driven by his needs and desires. A man who quite simply wouldn’t accept less.

Excerpt:
He leaned forward, an elbow braced on the table. His gaze poured directly into her, molten and unrelenting. “Do you understand what it means to submit to a man? Completely surrender?”
Morgan tried to suck in a breath, stunned to find it ragged beyond her control. His eyes flared hot with approval.
“T-this isn’t about me, “ she argued breathlessly. “I just need to relate the concept to the-“
“How can you relate without a taste of it, cher? A little nibble ain’t gonna hurt you.” The smile he flashed her could only be termed pure sin. “You might even like it.”
That’s exactly what Morgan was afraid of.

Interview and Giveaway with Megan Hart!


Hello Maidens!!!  We are soooo very excited right now to have author Megan Hart taking part in our Burning Up July erotica event!  I've been a huge fan of her work for years now, and this might be totally biased as I think she can do no wrong, but I love all her books!  She manages to make her stories come to life, the characters are deep, the stories are emotional, raw and real.  Under The Covers had the opportunity to ask her a bit about her work so please help us welcome today the wonderful Megan Hart.

UTC: Ms. Hart thank you so much for stopping by today.  Who is your role model?

That's an interesting question. Honestly, I don't have a role model. I have many people I admire for many reasons, but not one person I could point to and say "role model." I guess I make my own role?

UTC: What is the most fearless thing you've ever done?

I can't think of anything I've ever done without some measure of fear or at the very least, caution. Well, I dance pretty fearlessly. And sing karaoke.

UTC: LOL, fearless dancing. What do you love the most about writing?

Making stuff up!

UTC: I know you love to write to music, what's on your playlist right now?

Right this very second as I'm answering this question, it's "Blow" by Ke$ha. A minute ago it was Ocean by Casey Stratton.

UTC: Which of your characters was your favorite to write?

Elle from Dirty holds a special place in my heart. So does Alex Kennedy.

UTC: Oh Alex Kennedy! *swoons* Your book "Precious and Fragile Things" is somewhat of a detour in what you seems to normally write. Do you plan to write more books in this genre? 

 Actually, it's not a detour at all -- I wrote Precious and Fragile Things long, long before I wrote any of the other books most readers would be familiar with. It just took a lot longer to find a home. I have another MIRA release scheduled for 2012 called All Fall Down. It's not much like Precious and Fragile Things, but it's not erotic or a romance, so yes, I will be writing more books that aren't romance or erotic! And I've written some science fiction and a very odd women's fiction novel about a woman who was raised as a feral child, and I also write Young Adult horror/fantasy/dystopian fiction under a different name.

UTC: Maidens, make sure you check out Hart's other books! What was your inspiration to write the Order of Solace series?

Hmm. It's been so long since I started that series, I can't recall what, exactly, started it. I suppose my inspiration was a sullen, damaged hero and a woman who's purpose was to heal him.

UTC: What can we expect from the new Order of Solace book coming out, Virtue and Vice?

Virtue and Vice is about a Handmaiden coming to serve a young king with whom she'd previously had a...well, not a relationship, but an interlude. It's been years since she met him, but she's never forgotten him. Returning to her home land to serve him brings her back in touch with her former lover, as well, who's now the King's Lion. With the possibility of war on the horizon, Demi has to not only help her patron find his solace, she has to deal with her former lover's insistence she use her skills to lead the king toward some political decisions she wants nothing to do with.

UTC: I was surprised to see a writer show the not-so-nice side of a real life threesome, and how things can get messy when feelings become involved. Did you have a plan for Naked when you originally wrote Tempted, so you knew where the story would end up going?

I had no plans for a sequel for Tempted, but I loved writing about Alex Kennedy so much that I didn't want to let him go. But it took some time to figure out what sort of woman would end up with him for good. Also, the Alex in Tempted is NOT the same man in Naked...he's grown and changed a lot because of what happened to him that summer with Anne and Jamie, and he's now ready to make a new start.

UTC: And I definetely can't complain about getting more of Alex!  Also from Tempted, will there ever be a possibility that you'll write Claire's story?

I'd love to! Claire and Dean would have a great story, I think.

UTC: I know you've written some sci-fi romance, have you ever considered writing anything paranormal romance? What would be your choice? Vampires, demons, shifters, or something else entirely?

I've written quite a bit of fantasy and paranormal. Deeper's an erotic paranormal. My upcoming release is a time travel paranormal. I have other stories too. I like vampires and werewolves as villains. I *love* demons and angels and have a book I love to death about angels and demons but it's not finished and hasn't been published. It's not a romance, either. I'd still like to finish it someday.

UTC: I had the opportunity to go to Harrisburg, PA twice in the past 2 years, after reading your novels, which you usually base there, and the whole time I was expecting Alex to pop out of somewhere at me and sweep me away. Why did you pick Harrisburg as the setting for most of your novels?

I lived in Harrisburg for a short time and have spent most of my life living very close to it.

UTC: I know you've written two books together, each of you handling a different couple in the story, how was it like collaborating with Lauren Dane?

Writing with Lauren was a blast and I'm only sad our personal schedules aren't allowing us to collaborate more.

I know you'll be away when we get to post this interview but what do you want to say to our readers who've been devoted fans of yours:

THANK YOU FOR READING! Thank you, thank you. I appreciate it so much! Without readers, there's no point in writing!

Interview and Giveaway with Cherrie Lynn!


Holla Maidens! Today we got another hot author for Burning Up July! Please welcome Cherrie Lynn! Cherrie is an author of both contemporary and paranormal romance. If you're looking for something hot to steam up your summer nights, then Cherrie has the remedy for you! Today, she spills on her writing and what influences her work. For more information on Cherrie Lynn, please check out her website here.

UTC: Writing has been something you've done your entire life. When did you realize that this was what you wanted to do?

Around twelve years ago. Growing up, it seemed I was always writing stories for a small audience (my friends), and they would encourage me to try to get published. But for a while, even long after school was over and I was writing only for me, I simply had no interest in pursuing publication. Writing was something I did for fun.

I can't pinpoint for you that one moment when I changed my mind, but I can say it mostly had to do with reading awesome books. Every time I finished one that really grabbed me, I would think "I want to do this, I want to give people this feeling." And so one day, I did!

UTC: Congratulations! You have just released Far from Heaven, a paranormal romance. Can you tell us a bit about this latest release?

Thank you! Far From Heaven continues the trend of my fascination with heroes who begin the story as a villain. Ash is a demon on the edge of winning the one soul he's had his sights on for centuries. Her name is Madeleine and through every lifetime she's lived, she's always managed to elude him, but this time, through Ash's sneaky demonic manipulation, she belongs to him.

But Ash can't resist an opportunity to sample the delights of her flesh before he takes her soul to everlasting torment...and so begins his gradual realization that he didn't know himself or his own intentions as well as he thought.

I love Ash and Maddie's story. Their love for each other, in the end, was so fierce. Ash was a challenge to write, because he started out so bad. He'd done bad things. He *does* bad things through the course of the book--it's all in a day's work to him. Those guys are the most fun to redeem!

UTC: Some of your works in progress include an erotica romance novella involving Ghost and Macy from Rock Me. What can we expect from this highly anticipated release?

Fortunately--or unfortunately for me?--you can expect it to be a whole lot longer than a novella, for one thing. I realized pretty fast I couldn't tell their story in 35,000 words or less!

Their story can best be summed up as two worlds colliding. She's a cowgirl. He plays in a death metal band, when he's not tattooing or wisecracking. A lot of Candace and Brian's (Rock Me) conflict came from external sources, but with Ghost and Macy, it's mostly internal. Their own hang-ups and experiences and lifestyles are their major hurdles to happy-ever-after. Although there is also still that "What will everyone think?" insecurity as well, to a lesser extent. As with their best friends' story, you can certainly expect angst, fun, friendship, heartbreak, family drama, and (does it even need to be said?) hot sex.

UTC: OOoh! I cannot wait to get my hands on this! We know you're a fan of Dexter, True Blood and the Vampire Diaries. Are there any actors/actresses you had in mind when writing your characters?

Oh, those are my shows I can't do without--especially Dexter. Can't wait for the new season. As far as actors and actresses, well, Ian Somerhalder is definitely good for getting the creative juices flowing, hehe.

At some point in the writing process I might seek out a celeb comparison for my characters--usually musicians rather than actors. And it's always fun to hear readers' ideas of who they look like! But for the most part, I have an image of them in my head from the start and they don't look like/act like anyone else.

UTC: You have playlists on your website for each of your books. How has music influenced your writing?

So much that I can't say enough about it. I feel like music is what's gotten me here. It's pretty obvious from those playlists that I'm a fan of hard rock/heavy metal. I rarely write without it blaring in my ears. I've been bailed out of a corner SO many times by a perfectly timed lyric--it's almost like magic sometimes. Really good emotional songs--whether they're upbeat or full of despair or just pissed off--help me dig deep when I'm writing, and I thought it would be fun to let my readers in on the songs that inspired me for each particular book.

UTC: Fun questions! If you could collaborate with another erotica author, who would you choose and why?

Olivia Cunning. I'm a huge raving fangirl of her Sinners series. They're at the top of the list of Books I Wish I'd Written, lol. We have similar tastes in music and a mutual love for the down and dirty rock stars. There has already been a joke on Twitter about the need for her Brian to meet my Brian, so I don't think I'm the first to suggest this. ;-)

UTC: That would be awesome!! I would definitely love to see that collaboration in the flesh! *winks* okay, complete this sentence: When I'm not reading or writing, I'm ...

...thinking "Damn, I need to be reading or writing!" Honestly...when I'm not reading or writing, I'm working the dreaded day job. Or unwinding from the dreaded day job. I wish I had a more exciting answer, like I'm lying on a chaise lounge poolside being waited on by cabana boys, but...hey, maybe we'll use that anyway. Yeah. That's what I'm doing, keeping the cabana boys in line.

UTC: If both Evan and Brian Ross asked you out for a night on the town, who would you accept and what would you do?

Um, both? And what *wouldn't* we do?

Okay, I'll play (I love this question, by the way). I'd have to say Brian, hands down. That's not intended as a slight against Evan at all--I love him dearly; he has a special place in my heart. But we'd have little in common and, well, he's simply out of my league! Brian, on the other hand...oh, yeah. He's my kinda dude. He's the man you can be your crazy let-it-all-hang-out self with and know he'll not only accept you, he'll get off on it.
If you've read the mosh pit scene in Rock Me, then you know what I'd want to do on our night out! Rock concert, baby. And afterward, he could give me some new ink...

UTC: Oh baby, good choice! I think I may have to side with you on that one. Sorry Evan! And that mosh pit scene? I'd like one of those please! You've got 5 seconds to pull a book to read from your bookshelf, which one do you pick and why?

A book I've already read so many times I've lost count: Unholy Magic by Stacia Kane. Oh my God. I can sum up the "why" in one word: Terrible. But I'll use more words: because the Downside Ghosts series, and this book in particular, kicks insane amounts of ass. I can't wait for the next one!

UTC: Thank you so much for stopping by today and being a part of our Burning Up July event!

Thanks so much for having me! It was a lot of fun!

Interview and Giveaway with Lorelei James!


Welcome back to Under the Covers's Burning Up July erotica event! We are so excited to have the cowboy queen, erotica author Lorelei James with us today.  You might've heard of her Rough Riders, Blacktop Cowboys or Wild West Boys series. James know exactly how to steam up the pages of her books and if you have not read any of her work yet, then get to it! For more information on Lorelei James, jump on her website here.

UTC: Thank you so much for taking the time to be with us today! We love your work! But if you weren't an author, what would you be?

If this is a fantasy type thing, I'd say a kick ass cop. But if I have to pick something that utilizes my current marketable skill set...I'd be screwed, so it's a good thing I love my writing job, huh?

UTC: It is a damn good thing you do the writing thing, otherwise we'd be out of hot books! So, what are your "must-haves" when writing?

I write all new material on a laptop with no internet access so I'm not tempted to screw off, so I must have a candle burning in my bedroom when I'm writing. I need quiet, which is why I work best during the day when I'm home by myself. I wish my answer was that I needed something cool and unusual in order to write, like pickled squid and aromatic tea, hand picked from a mountainous slope in China, but nothing that exotic or glamorous.

UTC: LOL, that seems glamorous enough! What book was the hardest for you to write?

It's always the last book I finished, but then again, the last book I wrote is also my favorite book, with my favorite couple, so I think that's mostly because it's the one freshest in my mind. When working on an ongoing series it's difficult to think back and remember specifics about what sections or what characters gave me hell, because at some point, they all give me hell. What I've found interesting, after starting my 29th writing project, is this gig doesn't get easier. In fact, each book gets harder to write.

UTC: Which one of your heroines is most like you?

Some days I'm like Keely, some days I'm more like AJ, some days I'm channeling Skylar, but the heroine I wish I could be most like isn't on of my romance heroines, but my mystery heroine, Mercy Gunderson. She's a take no shit chick and a helluva shot.

UTC: Are you going to do a prequel story about Carlson and Carolyn and how they got together?

Now that's an interesting question, isn't it? Yes, that's artfully dodging it :)

UTC: Now let's do some fun questions! Pick just one character for each statement!

I would marry.... Kade McKay because he's such a stand up guy, and a great daddy to little girls -- plus he's hot :)
I would have a summer fling with.... Colby McKay because he knows his way around bein' a naughty bad boy behind the chutes.
I would have a hot one night stand with....Bennett McKay because for the most part, Ben doesn't do more than one night with any woman, but he does give you his undivided intention during that long, hot night.

UTC: What are five weird (or maybe not so weird) thing about yourself that readers don't know.

1) I'm not comfortable riding horses
2) I've got a cowgirl boot fetish
3) I once did a ride along with a cop for a class I was taking and we ended up at a crime scene where a guy had been stabbed in the head with a steak knife
4) My maternal grandmother is 102 years old and sharp as a tack
5) I am highly resistant to buying a smart phone

UTC: So, we have read Chasin' Eight and thought it was great, but it seemed a little different from your other books, still plenty hot and fun but a little more serious, was this intentional?

I don't know if it was intentional, but I knew from the start of the book that Chase would be facing some big challenges in order to change. Sticking to his initial plan before he met Ava was part of his change. So was dealing with tragedy. So was figuring out he wanted to be more than just a bull rider. So was falling in love with Ava. I remember texting my editor with the comment that there was no sex between Chase and Ava until the midpoint of the book, which is pretty late in my erotic romances. But every story is different, every couple's journey to happily ever after is unique, the challenges the hero and heroine face aren't the same in any book, so some books/plots are lighter, some deal with more emotional issues. CHASIN' EIGHT is my longest book to date and that wasn't intentional. I just uncovered more about my complex cowboy than I'd initially imagined, and I wanted to share that character arc with readers, especially since Chase has sort of been a mystery throughout the previous ten books in the Rough Riders series.

UTC: The character that really really intrigued (and by intrigued I mean made me hot) was Ben, Chase's older brother, will he be getting a book, and if so when!? I wanna see what he does with that collar and chain!

Ah, Ben. Well, I gave you a little bit of a teaser above. But yes, I'm working on Ben's book, titled COWBOY CASANOVA, and it will release on Dec. 6th. And just to be clear, Ben's lady is not someone I've hinted at in previous RR books.

UTC: Another character that I liked, although she was only in it briefly was Winnie, I loved that she called Chase on his BS (for a minute I thought they were gonna be getting together!) Is she going to feature on future books, or hook up with anyone?

I know a lot of readers thought Chase would end up with his publicist after his lewd comment to her in COWGIRLS DON'T CRY, but I knew the minute Ava appeared on the page she'd be perfect for Chase. So no, Winnie's appearance was a one time thing.

UTC: What do you think of bull riding and the rodeo, are you a big fan?

I'm a huge rodeo fan and attend as many local rodeos as possible, as well as hitting some away from home. This year I attended the Houston rodeo, with several of my beloved James Gang members, and I'll be in Cheyenne the end of the month for Cheyenne Frontier Days. Next year I'm hoping to get to the San Antonio rodeo and the Pendelton Round Up.

Viva la cowboys!!!!!!

BlogFest 2011 - Anchor and Storm by Kate Poole

Photobucket

Under The Covers is happy to participate in the BlogFest Hop!  This hop is being hosted by A Journey of Books.  Entries will be open from July 15 - July 17, winner will be picked via random.org and announced July 18!  This giveaway is open internationally (anywhere Book Depository ships to!)

Edgar Armstrong, Earl of Callander, had not given much thought to marrying and producing an heir...until he meets Emily Sinclair. When their easy companionship grows into love, they learn that Edgar's progressively debilitating disease could be passed on to his children. As their joy turns to despair Edgar finds a solution. If he can't get her with child he knows just the man who can. But will Emily agree to his plan?
Angus MacNeill, Lord Callander's groom, thinks Emily married Edgar for his title, his money and the security he can give her. And when Edgar approaches him with a very unusual request Angus questions his master's motives. Still, it doesn't stop him from accepting Callander's terms -- it's the only way he can be with Emily, even if only until she conceives.
Deeply in love with Edgar, Emily will do anything he asks of her. But she never suspected he'd ask something like this! Despite Edgar's reassurances she worries that his plan could destroy their marriage rather than strengthen it. And when she makes her choice, Emily wonders if there's room enough for two men in her heart -- and in her bed.

Author Override: Evangeline Anderson

Author Override is the place where authors take the reins and take you on a journey into their world. Some may allow you into their private writing dens. Others may take you along with them on research trips or interviews. Whatever the case may be, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride because here you’ll get an in-depth look into an author’s musings.

Today, erotica author Evangeline Anderson gives us a glimpse into her new series "Brides of the Kindred", a new erotica sci-fi that you have to check out!!



Hi, Evangeline Anderson here,

I’ve been writing erotica for a number of years now and science fiction has always been one of my favorite genres. Mainly because you can write anything you want—the sky is literally the limit. I love paranormal too, though. All those lusty, angst-ridden vampires and werewolves—who can resist them? So in writing Claimed, the first book in Brides of the Kindred, my idea was to incorporate some of my favorite paranormal and erotic ideas into a sci-fi series.

I came up with the Kindred, a race of genetic traders who are also warriors and total Alpha males. The Kindred have traveled the universe for centuries looking for viable matches to expand their gene pool. Since a genetic anomaly ensures that their population is ninety-five percent male, they are specifically looking for women.

The three genetic trades the Kindred have already made have resulted in three very specific types of men. But though they take on some of the physical characteristics of the race they are trading with, the Kindred gene always ensures three things: physical prowess, extremely large and muscular body structure, and undying loyalty to the female of their choice. Which kind you pick is up to you…

Beast Kindred come from Rageron—a jungle planet full of beautiful but deadly flora and fauna. They have dark hair, golden eyes, and hot tempers but their most defining characteristic is the mating fist. The mating fist is an area at the base of the Beast Kindred’s shaft which engages fully only during bonding sex with his chosen mate. This ensures sex that is both tantric and multi-orgasmic for both partners.

These guys are kind of my weres—they’re the most animalistic of the bunch and very territorial.

Blood Kindred are blond with pale blue eyes. They come from Tranq Prime where ice, snow, and arctic-like temperatures are the norm. They have a set of double fangs located where a human’s canine teeth would be. These fangs don’t develop fully or become sharp enough to pierce flesh until a Blood Kindred is with a woman he wishes to mate and bond with.

Hello—you know these are my vampires. They don’t take blood for nourishment though—they only bite to heal their mates or arouse them sexually by injecting their essence.

Twin Kindred come from Twin Moons—a world of vast, stormy oceans dotted with craggy but beautiful islands. True to their namesake, Twin Kindred always come in pairs. The brothers are not identical, however—there is always a light twin and a dark twin. These labels refer not just to skin, hair, and eye coloring but to the twin’s moods and perceptions of the world.

The twins are mentally linked and able to hear and sense each other’s thoughts and emotions. They cannot be separated by long distances or for long periods of time without severe pain. They must also share a woman, linking her into their mental and emotional exchange for very intense ménage sex.

Well, I admit there’s nothing very paranormal about the Twin Kindred except for their psychic ability. But I do like the fact that we have a built-in ménage here. They need each other but they also need a woman to complete them and become their third. Very hot.

I loved writing Claimed and as I wrote, more and more ideas came to me about the three different types of Kindred, their cultures, rituals, and of course, the way they perform bonding sex, which is different for each race. Each book in the series will have a different kind of Kindred warrior as the hero so I get the chance to explore three different worlds and cultures which makes me happy because I love world building. I’m about finished writing Hunted, the second book in the series now and I hope to have it published in the next two months.
