Danger in the Stars @vscotttheauthor #RLFblog #SFR
Why did you write
this book?When I was writing Star Cruise: Stowaway for the ‘Pets In
Space’ anthology last year, I had the premise of an empathic alien priestess
stolen from her own world and sold to an interstellar crime syndicate, forced
to do their bidding. In that novella, the story was about the woman’s escape
with the help of my ship’s crew and two pets. When I finished writing that one,
I started thinking about a sister, also held as a prisoner, but not lucky
enough to escape. How would it be for her, to be in the midst of the criminal
operations, trying to stay true to her own values, but forced to commit crimes?
Who would help her? Conor, the hero, came into my head and said, “I will.”
He’s a comple man of many secrets, but no spoilers from me!What is your favorite
genre to read?I love science fiction romance, but I read voraciously,
everything from Regency romances to romantic suspense with Navy SEALs.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?I love Nalini Singh’s Arrows in her Psy-Changeling series,
and of that group, Judd is still my favorite.What are you working
on at the moment?I’ve got two things going on – a paranormal novel set in
ancient Egypt and a new scifi romance. I don’t usually try to juggle telling
two stories at once but the Egyptian tale came to me one night completely
plotted and so I figured I’d better write it!What books will we see from you in coming months?In May I’ll be releasing a volume of three scifi romance
stories, which were previously only available in anthologies, and then of
course the two new books I talked about in the previous question will come out
in the summer.Please tell us about
your latest book.Genre Science fiction romanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13Miriell, a powerful empathic priestess, has been kidnapped
from her own primitive planet along with a number of her people, and sold to
the evil Amarotu Combine, largest organized crime syndicate in the Sectors.
When she and her handler are sent to use her power to commit an assassination,
she must leave behind her own sister as hostage to ensure her compliance.
Miriell cannot ask for aid without endangering herself and others.Despite his best efforts, Combine enforcer Conor Stewart is
entranced by Miriell, and helps her evade the worst of brutal treatment from
the rest of the mob. But Conor must keep his distance, before the lovely empath
learns that he has secrets of his own–secrets that could get them both killed.The situation becomes dire when Conor and Miriell come to
the attention of both the Combine overlords and the deadly Mawreg, aliens who
threaten the Sectors. Can she save herself and the Mawreg’s next victims? And
will Conor help her, or remain loyal to his evil bosses?Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y2BP8JZ

Dark Thoughts by Cynthia Sax @CynthiaSax #RLFblog #SciFi #Romance
Why did you write
this book?When I first met Kralj, the hero of Dark Thoughts, during
Chasing Mayhem, I knew I had to write his story. Kralj is Ruler of the Refuge,
a settlement that many of the most violent beings in the universe call home. He
can read minds, can control beings with his thoughts and has a very dark
beast-like side of him. He EATS his enemies. Yeah, he goes there.I only write romance so, of course, that got me thinking, “What
type of female would love a male like that?” Dita, a pint-sized assassin,
is as unique as Kralj is. She is as strong as he is yet has a cheerfulness that
offsets his grim demeanor.Note: Dark Thoughts is a standalone. It is not necessary to
read Chasing Mayhem first.What is your favorite
genre to read?I love all sorts of romance. Give me a happy romantic
ending! I gobble that up. I read everything from sexy Regency Dukes to
tormented half man, half machine cyborg warriors.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?In the SciFi Romance space, I really like Ral, the Zorn
warrior in Laurann Dohner’s Ral’s Woman. That was my first Laurann Dohner story
and I loved it. Ral is an awesome beastly hero. Beauty and the Beast is my
favorite romance premise. If there’s beast in the book description, the writer
has me.What are you working
on at the moment?I’m writing the follow up story to Dark Thoughts (releasing
in July). The hero will be Orol, Kralj’s winged second-in-command. He has been
given a solo mission. His heroine, of course, isn’t cooperating with that
mission. (grins) It is never easy for our heroes, is it?What books will we see
from you in coming months?Ghost Of A Machine, my next standalone cyborg romance, will
be releasing in May. He’s a severely damaged hero and has earned his happy ever
after.The next story in the Dark Thoughts series will be releasing
in July.Please tell us about
your latest book.Genre Sci Fi RomanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RCan love redeem a monster?The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the
universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying
ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks
his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he’s a monster, scarred both on his
face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn’t control.Until he meets her.Dita has one mission—to kill the three targets claiming
sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long
lifespan, Kralj isn’t certain of another being’s intentions. The tiny assassin
is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can’t predict her
movements, can’t control her, can’t stop wanting her.Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents
of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he’ll touch her,
taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.Dark Thoughts is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance.The hero might be tall, dark, and scarred but don’t be
fooled by his appearance.He’s truly a monster.This story is not for readers with delicate sensibilities.Publisher http://cynthiasax.com/refuge/

Meet Katrina from Jager @jsubject #RLFblog #scifi #romance
Jager Galactic Defenders #2
Genre SciFi Adventure RomanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RJager’s new squad of Defenders has completed training, but the spoiled princess who has grated on his nerves since her first day of training is called back to Hemera for a yearly celebration. When Princess Katrina doesn’t show up, Jager must find her and drag her home, where he wishes she would stay.Katrina is a Defender, not a princess. And there is no way she wants to return to a planet she hates for some stupid ceremony. Not when she could be out killing Erebus with her squad.But when a new enemy threatens both their lives, they must work together to survive.Introducing Katrina
Age: 20 Earth yearsGender: FemaleBirthplace: Earth, though I was conceived on my mother’s home planet, HemeraProfession: I’m a Galactic Defender, not a Princess.Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): My mother is Hemera and my father is Kalaren.Please provide a physical description of yourself.
I can fit in on Earth better than most other Defenders. I have light brown skin with long, dark hair, and dark brown eyes. I’m fit. I need to be to bring down the Erebus. They’re not exactly lightweights, and I prefer hand-to-hand combat rather than the plazers and bows the other Defenders use. I don’t have an eyebrow ridge like my dad, but I do have the ‘V’ of freckles across my shoulders and down my back like my mom.Please tell us a little about yourself.
I was born and raised on Earth. A couple years ago, my home was attacked by the Erebus. It was after a Galactic Defender arrived to help us
that I found out the man who I believed to be my father wasn’t my dad, and that I wasn’t Terran. Turns out the Defender who arrived on Earth is my dad, my mom was the long lost princess of Hemera, and I haven’t been on Earth since that day. But, I’m itching to go back. I know I can’t stay there, but I just want to see what’s changed, how my friends are doing.Who is the significant other in your life?
I don’t have a significant other, like a boyfriend. Jeff Bennett and I almost had a thing on Earth, but I had to leave the planet, and didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. My squad leader, Jager, is hot, but we don’t exactly get along. And then I have Jace, my best friend. He’s the only Defender who has my back, so we spend a lot of time together. But, he’s nothing more than a friend.How do you dress?
I wear my blue Defender uniform. Though, sometimes when I’m training on my own, I’ll wear a pair of leggings and a sports bra. If I lived with my parents on Hemera, I’d have to wear their royal garb. While the lehengacholi I wore for my mother’s coronation was beautiful, it’s not s something I’d want to wear all the time.Please tell us about your education.
I graduated from high school on Earth, though I didn’t make the ceremony. I was supposed to go to university that fall, but wasn’t on the planet to do so. While the Hemera council taught me a bit about Hemera culture, I’ve learned a lot about the races belonging to the Galactic Alliance as a Defender. I’ve also learned how to bring down an Erebus by hand. Not stuff I could have learned on Earth.What kinds of things do you always carry (in pockets or purse)?
I don’t have pockets or a purse—I have no need for them—but I carry my zuranium blade in a special pouch in my boot. It goes with me
everywhere I go, because I never know when I’ll meet up with an Erebus that needs to be taken out.What is your family like?
They’re great people, really, just a tad bit overprotective. My mom is now the Queen of Hemera. She’s wonderful, and rules far differently than her father and brother did. The commoners are no longer starving and dressed in rags. Everyone works together for the good of the planet. And with the dome the Alliance installed for her, the planet no longer had to worry about an Erebus attack. My dad is a legend among the Defenders. I hope I can be half as good as he was. He was leader of Echo squad for many Galactic years, and killed more Erebus than I can ever imagine. Then there’s my sister Gwenodyn. She’s not really my sister, but my parents are raising her after the last Erebus attack on Hemera when her mother was killed. She’s a sweetheart, but not when she uses her Mingot mind-reading abilities to get her own way.When (if) you lie or are upset, what gives you away?
I scratch my arms. It’s a habit I wish I didn’t have, as it totally gives me away when I’m lying.What would you like to tell your writer?
It would have been nice if you’d given me more than one friend. Though, I wouldn’t trade Jace for the universe. And why is this book
called Jager when it’s supposed to be my story?Buy Jager
