A Cursed Demon
Twenty years ago Jude made a huge mistake resulting in him and four of his best
friends being cursed by the Dark Witch. For twenty years he has searched for
his mate-the only being able to break the curse placed upon him. Until he finds
her he will not be able to release the pent up sexual energy that is driving
him insane. On his journey to find his mate he is captured and held prisoner by
Lana, a vicious vampiress.
A Sex Crazed Vampiress
Lana is intrigued by Jude's ability to resist making love to her. She doesn't
know of the curse placed upon him years ago. No matter how hard she tries to
seduce him she always fails. His life means nothing to her and she is ready to
end his existence, but first she must know what prevents him from succumbing to
her seduction. She wonders if it's her or if Jude is like this with all women.
To test her theory Lana places one of her female prisoners, Carissa, and Jude
together. To her dismay, sparks ignite between the two captives.
A Witch on a Mission
Carissa is searching for her friend who is rumored to have been captured by
Lana and her men. She doesn’t plan on finding love but she can’t resist the
attraction she feels for her fellow captive, Jude. She senses the desire raging
through him and yearns to ease the tension coursing through his muscled body.
However, their lust for one another angers Lana and can only lead to one
thing…death for both her and Jude.
***
Now that Jude has found his mate he must get them both to safety before Lana
destroys them.
Will Jude lose his mate so soon after finding her or will they escape Lana's
wrath and form a bond so strong nothing and no one can break it?
Excerpt
*HEADS UP: CONTENT BELOW IS NOT PG-13*
Lana straddled him. She ran her hands up his chest.
Jude kept his eyes closed. “Why didn’t you teleport in?”
“I was trying to be polite.” She licked his nipple. Between her legs, she felt his cock jerk and felt his hardness through her leather suit. She wanted him badly; more importantly, she wanted him to want her. He was an obsession she couldn’t get rid of; a puzzle she couldn’t figure out.
Lana ground her sex against his, drawing a moan from both of their throats.
“I have some friends I want you to meet,” she whispered. She pulled back a little and watched for his reaction. nfortunately, all he did was yawn; he didn’t even open his eyes.
“Aren’t you a little curious as to who I want you to meet?” Once again, he ignored her. His nonchalance only made her want him more. Every time he ignored her, or pretended to not want her, it only made her work harder to please him and make him want her. Every prisoner she owned would give their last breath to have her show them the amount of attention she wasted on Jude.
Lana licked his nipple again. She refused to give up; defeat was not a feeling she was accustomed to. She placed soft kisses from his nipple up to his neck, and then nibbled along his jaw line. She tried to kiss his lips, but he turned his head causing her to kiss his cheek instead. Lana hissed in frustration.
She was tired of playing games with him. When she told her brother about all the problems this slave was giving her, he asked to borrow Jude for a month to train him, but Lana said no. She wanted to be the one to break him. She gave him plenty of chances to give in to her demands. If she couldn’t have him by choice, she would have him by force.
Without warning, Lana teleported Jude to her bedroom, where they landed on her bed; she quickly climbed off of him.
“Handcuff him to the bed,” she said to her servants waiting in the shadows. She was tired of playing nice. It was time for her to be the bitch he thought she was.
My Thoughts:
This is flat out an EROTIC paranormal read. There is plenty of sex - in fact it's practically ALL sex, but the great thing is that I never got to the, "God, ENOUGH already!" point. I didn't feel that way because it's completely integral to the story line. There has to be sex or it simply wouldn't make sense...and it's fun, steamy stuff, to boot.
This is a quick read with an interesting premise and though part of a series can also be read as a stand alone to a degree. Don't get me wrong...I am anxious for the story to continue and to find out what happens with these characters, but though there's a cliffhanger at the end, Siren still wraps up this part of the story nicely so you can still close the book and go, "Well, good...at least THAT happened," instead of chucking it across the room going, "BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS?????"
One of the reasons I am obsessed with the tv show "Supernatural" (other than my beloved Jensen Ackles...I digress) is because it takes traditional folklore archetypes and turns them completely on their heads. This is what Siren seems to be doing here. I found it interesting that the main characters Jude (a demon) and Carissa (a witch) seem to be the good guys (at least so far - who knows in Book 2!) and that certain immortals can match with a mate that is typically an enemy of each others' kind. I hope that brings some more interesting story lines down the road.
Overall I enjoyed the first installment of this series, though if I have a complaint, it would be that it actually seemed a little too short. I felt like the author could've spent a little more time delving deeper into the characters' back stories, because let's face it - immortals are fascinating. But to be fair, that may be to come as well and I hope so. Otherwise, if you like to dive into otherworldly realms full of immortal creatures both beautiful and hideous and get a heaping serving of shmexy while you're at it, then download Lovers Unchained yesterday.

Meet The Author
"Hi, my name is Siren Allen. I’m a writer and lover of all
things erotic and romantic. I reside in southern Mississippi where I write
steamy romances that are guaranteed to make you blush. When I’m not listening
to the characters in my head and jotting down their adventures, I am busy
working as a Clinical Laboratory Technician.
I love to travel, preferably with my husband, so he can do all of the driving.
I enjoy time with my family, who are just as silly as I am. I have no
children…yet, wish me luck! My hobbies are reading, writing and shopping,
though I hate trying on clothing. If I wasn’t a writer or a Laboratory Professional,
I would probably be a Secret Agent. But that’s the beauty of being a writer;
you can create your own world and be whoever you want to be. In my imaginary
world, I am Queen and my siblings are my minions."
ENTER THE GIVEAWAY!!!
). The author's descriptions of the human world vs. the faerie world were straightforward but vivid. I would have liked a little more time spent on Allison's emotional reaction to meeting her father so suddenly, as the weight of a moment like that seemed a bit brushed off, but in general this is a good story that I want to continue reading in the sequel (and OF COURSE there's a cliffhanger!).
