7 Days til Book Release: Lisa Carlisle’s Bounty Hunter Paranormal Romance

Only one more week until my paranormal erotic romance called Bloodlust and Metal is released! This book was so much fun to write. A young vampire who goes undercover as an 80s heavy metal singer, a hot shapeshifting bounty hunter hired to capture her–you know the tension will be high–and the love scenes will be hot!

I wrote this book as part of National Novel Writing Month last November, which they dub a month of literary abandon. I took my netbook to write ins around the city and met with fellow wri-mos to get my word count in. 30 nights later with bloodshot eyes, I had my first draft. :)

Bloodlust and Metal is part of Ellora’s Cave’s On the Hunt theme, focused on bounty hunters. So many good books are being released as part of this theme and I’ll share more on the others as they are released.

Bloodlust and Metal

By Lisa Carlisle

On the run from a master vampire, young vampire Layla Black flees London to reinvent herself as the singer of an Eighties cover band in Boston. Devon St. Clair is the bounty hunter hired to track her down. As a shapeshifter with extraordinary skills, his reputation is known throughout the supernatural world. Capturing Layla should be an easy gig that will net a nice profit.

The situation does not go as Devon plans. He wants Layla in his bed, but shapeshifters and vampires don’t mix. They should hate each other, but instead they’re keeping the sheets steamy. When circumstances force them on the run together, their preconceived notions are challenged. If they can evade those hunting them and convince his fellow shapeshifters to help her even though she’s a vampire, they just might have a chance to explore where all that hot, sweaty sex can take them.

Add Bloodlust and Metal to your wish list now to be one of the first to get it when it is released!

Smoldering Nights

First in the Underground Encounters series

Nike loves visiting the goth club Vamps—she can exchange her firefighter uniform for a slinky fantasy outfit. There she runs into the man she’d been admiring from afar at a rock climbing gym. He’s been the star of all her fantasies, so is it any wonder they end up in his private room upstairs? Just when things begin to heat up, Michel’s enemies appear.

Only Michel isn’t an ordinary mortal. And someone from his past is on the hunt for vengeance. Michel and Nike are forced on the run and hide out in a coastal cottage in Maine. They can’t resist their attraction and spend the nights exploring each others’ bodies while trying to sort out how they feel about each other. Can they overcome their differences to be together? And how will they evade the predators who are chasing them?

rockmetonight_msr

by Lisa Carlisle

Lily Everett harbors a secret she’s certain no one will understand. She needs sex, but won’t consider a permanent relationship. When she meets the singer of a rock band at an underground nightclub, she’s disarmed by his sensual voice and mischievous good looks. After an icy introduction, Lily warms up to Nico’s charms.

A computer geek by day, Nico dons a rock singer persona by night. He’s tired of women pursuing him just because he’s in a band—the sex may be handy, but he wants something more. He’s intrigued by Lily’s reticence.

Keeping her emotional distance proves difficult the more Lily uncovers the intelligent, considerate man hiding behind Nico’s bad boy persona. Their encounters are hot-hot-hot, but Nico wants more from Lily than sex. When Lily lets down her guard and reveal her other side, Nico’s shock destroys their closeness and they both doubt they can overcome their differences.

5* Reviews for Smoldering Nights and Fiery Nights by Lisa Carlisle

I’m thrilled to share Cornelia Amiri’s fantastic five star reviews of Smoldering Nights and Fiery Nights, the first two books in my Underground Encounters series. Cornelia is the author of the short, sexy Dancing Vampires series at Ellora’s Cave, as well as many other books.


5* – “Slick,Sexy, Suspenseful
Listen, buddy, I just saw a wall blow up, a man whom I was kissing sprouted fangs and jumped out a window, and now two men, if they even are men, are after me. So cut the crap. Who are you? No, what are you? Why are they trying to kill you? And what the hell is going on!”

     After hard work as a firefighter, Nike and her friend Maya take a girl’s night out at Vamps, a hot goth club. There Nike spots the hot, mysterious French hunk from her rock climbing gym, Michel, who is also the owner of Vamps. Suspense an action ensues as a man, who has been after Michel for many, many years, blows up the club to try to kill him.

    “Lisa Carlisle has loved vampire stories since she was in third grade, when she had a crush on Dracula.” Smoldering Nights is the first book of her Underground Encounter series. The point of view in Smoldering Nights and the Underground Encounters series is interesting and unique. The author uses first person point of view but switches it from hero to heroine by listing a header per scene or chapter as to which one she’s using.

     I loved this slick, sexy, paranormal romance and its engaging characters. The book has both steamy love scenes and fast action with riveting suspense. I highly recommend Smoldering Nights.Cornelia Amiri, Author of the Dancing Vampires series.

5* – “Sizzling… “Gifts are different for everyone. Maybe she has an affinity with some type of good spirits. Or maybe her gift is a connection with you. The light to your darkness.”

      In book two of the Underground Encounter series, the heroine, Maya, is the best friend of Nike, the heroine form Smoldering Nights. After hard work as a firefighter, Maya, dressed in a sexy pirate wench costume, celebrates Halloween at Vamps, a hot goth club. There she meets the tall, dark, handsome new owner of the club, Tristan Stone. He is a paranormal being, other than a vampire, but just as sexy and mysterious. Tristan and Maya connect well in more ways than one as she discovers that with her own paranormal gift she may be the same type of being.

     “Lisa Carlisle has loved vampire stories since she was in third grade, when she had a crush on Dracula.” Fiery Nights is the second book of her Underground Encounter series. The point of view in the Underground Encounters series is interesting and unique. The author uses first person point of view but switches it from hero to heroine by listing a header per scene or chapter as to which one she’s using.

     The writing has a smooth, seductive flow. I loved this slick, sizzling paranormal romance and its engaging characters. I highly recommend Fiery Nights.” ~  Cornelia Amiri, Author of the Dancing Vampires series.

 

Celebrating an Offer for My Military Romances

I am thrilled to announce that the first of my military romances has been offered a contract! They’re based Okinawa, Japan, where I was stationed as a Marine 20 years ago. I started them in 2003 and finally picked them back up this year, determined to finally finish them. I guess you can say the moral of the story is Never Give Up! ;)

I’m so excited, I don’t know what to do with myself! I’ve already tortured the kids enough with many ridiculous dances. Any suggestions?

Lisa Carlisle’s Book #Trailer for Fiery Nights

My awesome husband created a trailer for Fiery Nights–after I bugged him for a few weeks. ;) .

He also created one for Smoldering Nights. What do you think? Maybe if we encourage him with positive feedback, he’ll create them for me before the books are released!

Thank you, Mr. C!
