    About the Book

    Title Mastering the Beast
    Genre Erotic Paranormal-Romantic Comedy
    Author Tina Donahue
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Surrender is the only option she desires.
    Taming the Beast, Book 3
    No one believes that under the tough attitude and schoolgirl fashion sense, reformed
    demon Zoe burns for a man, love, and sex. She keeps those urges on ice and well hidden. She sold her soul for a guy once, and all it got her was a one-way ticket to Hell.
    Her job, keeping supernatural creatures in line at From Crud to Stud, is all work and
    no play. Until she’s saddled with a trio of new enforcers who ooze so much sexual heat she’s afraid to be on the same planet with them.
    Stefin, Anatol, and Taro try to contain their laughter as their adorable new boss tries
    to lay down the law. Apparently, no one told her they don’t take orders. They give them.
    And they’re determined to smooth her rough edges and tame her beast with acts so wanton they’ll make her scream—for more.
    Talk about all hell breaking loose. Surrender won’t come easily, but given their devilish
    charm and her aching need, her journey to submission is one done deal.
    Warning: Contains an unholy trio of demons who don’t like to take turns. Break room…snacking. After-hours…training sessions. In other words, a sensual ride on the pleasure express. Features m/f/m/m sex in every flavor except vanilla. Bring. It. On.

But he’ll have to take the risk if he doesn’t want to lose the woman he’s come to realize he can’t even think of living without.

    The Diary of Narcissa Dunn a new #historical romance by @Elaine_Violette #RLFblog

    A quick interview with Elaine Violette, author of The Diary of Narcissa Dunn.

    About the Author

    Elaine writes British and American Historical Romances.  Part of the fun of writing Historicals, she says, is doing research into the past and creating characters that live and love in those sometimes glorious and sometimes harrowing times. A veteran English teacher, Elaine presently teaches public speaking part-time at a local community college. She is a member of Romance Writers of America and CT Romance Writers (CTRWA). Residing on the Connecticut shoreline with her golfing husband, Drew, she delights in being a wife, mother, and grandmother. Other favorite activities apart from reading and writing are nature walks, kayaking, and baking yummy desserts.

    Interview with Elaine Violette

    Why did you write this book?  
    My inspiration for The Diary of Narcissa Dunn came from a morning walk in a local cemetery in Connecticut. I came upon a monument from 1808. Its epitaph for an 19 year old woman named Narcissa captured my heart. I copied the inscription and saved it, knowing I would write a story based on it someday. Two other books came before Narcissa’s manuscript but the voice of the epitaph refused to be stay buried in my memory. The inscription included in the plot, speaks loudly. This is truly a book of my heart.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Historical Romance both British Regencies and American Historicals. I enjoy not only the romance but also the rich historical backgrounds. I also love stories that bring in paranormal elements and The Diary of Narcissa Dunn is a ghostly love story.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Oliver, from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. I’ve come across no author who creates such descriptive, enticing characters as Dickens. Just think of Miss Havisham  in
    Great Expectations! Authors can learn so much from his detailed descriptions.
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    The Diary of Narcissa Dunn is the first in the Redemption series. Presently, I’m working on Book Two, which will continue the story of Olivia and her family.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Tensions rise between Reverend Fuller and his daughter Olivia when he attempts to control her choice of a husband. As Olivia experiences strange recurring dreams, other mysterious events create chaos in the parsonage, leaving the family on edge. Meanwhile, Benjamin Pratt, desperately in love with Olivia, discovers an old diary that reveals shocking secrets. He becomes an unwilling messenger, torn between revealing truths that could shatter Olivia’s heart, or destroy the diary and watch her marry another. Either way, he’s bound to lose her unless a mysterious woman intervenes.
