Get the inside scoop on the dark hero from A Devilish Saturnalia by Alexa Piper @ProwlingPiper #RLFblog #MMRomance
Lionel and his lover are spending Midwinter in Scotland, and what should be a few quiet days with their found family for the Devil and his necromancer turns into a wild goose chase (literally) and a murder mystery (not literally) in A Devilish Saturnalia, a fluffy novella set right after the events in The Devil’s Saturnalia.
Alexa, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about A Devilish Saturnalia.
A Devilish Saturnalia by Alexa Piper
Genre MM urban fantasy romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RLionel and Lucifer are spending the holidays in Scotland. They are set to enjoy a quiet Midwinter, and Lionel is looking forward to spending this time with his found family, although having a family is still new for him.
Lucifer’s goals for this holiday season are simple: convince his necromancer to willingly stay in bed with Lucifer, but of course, that is just a fantasy. Lucifer knows it’s not what his necromancer needs, and the cruel side of love is that even the Devil has to put his lover first.
Snowed in, will these two and those who love them find something to do to pass the longest night of the year? In this sweet and cozy read, you will find out.
This books is not a standalone. The events in A Devilish Saturnalia take place right after The Devil’s Saturnalia.
Warning: This m/m romance contains sexual content only suitable for mature audiences.
Insider Information about Lucifer
Welcome! We’d like to know more about you. Please add info you’re comfortable sharing.
Nickname: The most handsome of them all, Best Boyfriend Ever, The Devil with the best hair.
Age: Compared to Tiamat, I’m a spring chicken.
Gender: I like all genders equally.
Birthplace: Puny human minds do not understand the geography of the otherrealms.
Profession: Necromancer Minder, Ph.D.
Please provide a physical description of yourself.
Sexy, but monogamous. And like we all know, monogamy makes you hotter, which explains why my boyfriend is so obsessed with me.
What are your pronouns?
I’ll take all of them, please, extra rainbow sprinkles.
How well does your name fit your personality?
You see, I’ve been going by Lucy ever since I first read the literary gem that is Dracula. Lucy Westenra was so far ahead of her time! She had the opportunity to embark upon a reverse harem journey never before seen in literature, but she gave it all up in order to maintain her beauty and discerning charm for all the rest of time, along with some badass butt-kicking abilities.
I am the Devil. I have the best hair, and my magic is perfect. Before I fully bloomed–before I became monogamous, that is–I dabbled in pleasing multiple people at the same time. I certainly have the looks. You should see how my Nelly stares at me when I bring out my wings!
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Oh, no. That’s a silly notion. I mean, sure, it happened to me, but that was an exception. Most people have to buy their lover flowers and take them on dates to amausement parks and all of that, but Nelly and I never needed anything as base. We were made for one another.
But no. Love at first sight is an illusion.
Do you enjoy dressing up or prefer to dress casually?
I enjoy dressing for the occasion. It doesn’t really matter what I wear or if I wear any clothes at all. I’ll always look good.
If a place where you shop installed benches in various sections, where would you sit?
I do not really do any shopping. I have Trony for that. But for the new year, I want to convince Nelly to come shopping with me. In that event, I want a bench right in front of the changing room for the anticipation. He’ll probably be too shy to come out when he’s trying on panties for me, but what is magic for if not to make a changing room curtain see-through?
Mhh. They already do have benches inside the changing rooms, don’t they? I’ll probably move there after I watched my necromancer squirm for a little bit. To help him out of the panties.
Favorites:
Smell: Nelly
Color: Golden
Taste: Nelly
Sound: Nelly makes this sound after he’s been tied up for a long while. It’s a bit hoarse, but also sweet. And then, once I allow him his release, he makes those soft little huffs–ah. No one but me will ever hear those sounds.
Texture: If I tell you, you’ll have to censor it. Rhymes with Nelly’s sock.Can you:
Swim? Of course I can swim. I can’t drown, so the skill is a bit superfluous, but it’s fun.
Use chopsticks? Do you take me for a Philistine? Of course I know to use chopsticks.
Roller skate? This sounds undignified, but I can probably make it look good.
Ski? I can, but I prefer having champaign in the hot tub to going up and down some mountain.
Fly a plane? That’s a waste of time. I have wings.
Ride a horse? Yes. I’ve even read up on how to tame wild horses.
What is your favorite book?
Other than the obvious, there’s that one with the virgin who works in a diner. The virgin always takes the night shift, and then he meets this darkly handsome assassin who initiates the virgin into the art of carnal pleasure. That reminded me so much of my Nelly, who had only been deflowered in the most technical sense when I met him. Mhh. White lace means innocence, doesn’t it? I’m very much looking forward to taking him shopping.
Who is the one person who can convince you to do something you know you shouldn’t?
Convince me? If we are talking about convincing, Trony or the dragon mother. If this is about actually getting me to do things… that’s unfortunately Nelly. For instance, I know I shouldn’t let Marc Deacon breathe another breath, but here I am being a good Devil and not shoving Marc Deacon into a bottomless hole, because I am sure Nelly would ask me about it. Interrogate me, even. And I can only distract my necromancer so much when he gets into one of his stubborn moods, you know.
