    Weapons of Redemption by Saloni Quinby

    Genre Paranormal, erotic, LGBT, vampire
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Five men, enslaved by a vampire pirate and forced to do his bidding, rebelled against their master and earned the wrath of a monster. Now, while plotting to destroy the man who, centuries later, still thinks he owns them, they use their powers to protect other victims.
    Whips and Chains
    In a seedy underworld of sex and violence, a serial killer is stalking men and Guy is called upon to find the murderer. Ryan, a professional Dom known as the Beast Tamer, specializes in meting out pleasure and pain to oversized men. Is the sexy young man with a mysterious past the next victim — or the killer?
    Sword and Shield
    Rule coped with his abduction by the vampire pirate Tarun by cutting off his emotions. After centuries of self-control through punishment, he found a man who finally reached his heart. Now it’s up to Rule to save his former lover, but once he sees Joel again, will Rule be able to resist him?
    Cloak and Dagger
    When police detective Bryce Tarunson arrests a man who looks just like his lover from two thousand years ago, he’s pulled closer to the vampiric master he hates. The bond between Bryce and Shane forces them into a battle that might end in the destruction of the Weapons of Redemption.
    Marksmen
    Ansley and Brayden were stolen as boys by the hated vampire pirate, Tarun, to work aboard his ship. As men, their friendship blossomed into a deep, undeniable love. In the final battle between the vampire pirate and the Weapons of Redemption, Ansley and Brayden’s love for each other will either save or destroy them.
    Fangs and Floggers
    To lure his rebellious blood children back into the fold, ancient vampire Tarun abducted the hunter Adrian. He hadn’t bargained on his human prisoner being a match for him in every way — including his darkest desires. Though Tarun warns Adrian he won’t like what he hears, the hunter is determined to uncover the secrets of the vampire’s twisted past.

    Accursed, a paranormal by @katehillromance #RLFblog #mm #romance

    Today’s featured book is Accursed by Saloni Quinby.
    Genre M/M Erotic Romance
    Author Saloni Quinby
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    At the request of his aunt, Medium Maxim Thomas travels to the London mansion of actor Ian Northhill to search for paranormal dangers. The first-born sons in Ian’s family have all died on their thirty-fourth birthday, and Ian’s is just around the corner. The problem is, he doesn’t believe in ghosts, demons or curses.
    When Maxim and Ian meet, they’re overwhelmed by lust, but great sex doesn’t change Maxim’s bitterness toward actors or Ian’s loathing of “phony” psychics. Unable to ignore their desire for each other, the men try to overcome their prejudices. While Ian performs a retelling of Jekyll and Hyde on stage, a real life Jekyll and Hyde plots to destroy him. Will Ian trust Maxim enough to allow his lover to save him from the family curse?

    Interview with Bryce Tarunson

    What is it that you want,
    but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.
    My life and my lover, Ronan, back. Or at least that’s what I’ve
    wanted for two thousand years. Shane has changed my outlook, though. I guess most
    of all I want revenge on Tarun, the monster who made me.
    What’s your internal limitation?
    Meaning, what is it about you that makes it so you cannot do what it is you need
    to do during this story?
    It’s complicated, but what isn’t, right? Maybe the Ronan part
    isn’t so complicated. He’s been dead for about two thousand years. My friends and
    I have been trying for revenge against Tarun, but he’s elusive. In the meantime,
    we dedicate ourselves to helping those who are victims, like we used to be.
    What inner doubt causes
    you the most difficulty?
    That I’ll lose to Tarun again, that somehow no matter how hard
    I’ve fought he’ll still overpower me.
    Tell us about your significant
    other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    Shane allowed me to love again after two thousand years. Ronan
    was my lover in my mortal life and when Shane and I first met, he was so much like
    Ronan it was both painful and wonderful. I don’t know for sure if he’s Ronan’s reincarnation
    and it doesn’t matter. He’s the man I love and we’ve been through a lot together
    in a short time.
    What would that person
    say about you?
    I’d like to think he’d say that I proved to him not all vampires
    are evil. He’d say he loves me. I know he does.
    What is your family like?
    Brayden, Ansley, Rule and Guy are my family. They’re my brothers.
    We weren’t born to the same mortal family, but we were changed by Tarun. We’ve depended
    on each other, fought with each other and cared about each other. We’ve shared good
    times and endured rough times together. We’re vampires, but I guess you could say
    that in a lot of ways we’re a pretty average family.
    What special skills do
    you rely on?
    Gut instinct. Mind control is a powerful thing and I learned
    a lot about it from Tarun, but in the end I believe you have to go with your instincts.
    If someone from your past
    showed up, who would you NOT want it to be, and why?
    Wow. Tarun. He’s also the person I want to show up. Go figure.
    Are you happy with the
    way your story ended? Why or why not?
    I’m happy to be with Shane, but we’re still in danger. Shane’s
    brother is still in Tarun’s clutches. Even worse, I lost a brother–or it seemed
    that way. He might be out there. If he is, we need to find him, so I won’t be completely
    satisfied until we find out exactly what happened to Ansley.

    About You: Questions for the writer.

    You have the length of
    a tweet (140 characters) to describe yourself as a writer. Let’s see what you can
    do.
    I write characters I love, because if I don’t like them, I can’t
    expect anyone else to.
    When you wrote about this
    character, what made you the most happy? What made you the most sad?
    It made me happy to give Bryce some peace and happiness with
    Shane, but it made me sad that he had to lose Ronan. Even I’m not entirely sure
    if Shane is Ronan reincarnated, but I do know that Bryce was finally able to find
    love again and I enjoyed exploring everything that brought him to it.
    Why do you write?
    I can’t imagine not writing. Writing is so many things to me–an
    outlet, a lifestyle, and an intimate form of expression.
    What do you want to write
    next?
    Right now I’m working on two science fiction romances.
    What other character from
    this book do you want to write about? Care to tell us why?
    I truly wanted to write about Tarun and Adrian. It was so much
    fun to give them their own story in Fangs and Floggers. I love villains and antiheroes,
    so I really wanted to let Tarun tell his side of the story. From his vampiric sons’
    point of view, he’s a monster, but like them he has a dark past and his own reasons
    for his actions.
    Is there anything you’d
    like to say to your readers?
    Thank you so much for your support. I hope you enjoy the stories!
