Book Blurb:In Victoria England vice of every kind can be purchased, and Matthew, the Earl of Wallingford, makes certain he avails himself of every possible pleasure. Bored and jaded, he is as well-known for his coldness as for his licentious affairs with beautiful women.

While these numerous dalliances fulfill Matthew’s every physical need, they secretly leave him numb and emotionally void. Until one night when he finds himself beaten, eyes bandaged and in the care of a nurse with the voice of an angel – and a gentle touch that soothes the darkness in him and makes him yearn for more.

Bookish Eye Candy: Beautiful Creatures

This week on Bookish Eye Candy we are going to try something different. Instead of me just sharing a book and telling you who I would like to play the part , we are going to split it into 2 weeks. The first week I will post the book, and I would like you guys to share with me who you think should play the characters. Think of it kind of like a poll. Then the following week I will post a pic of the top suggested person, along with multiple pics of who I think should play the role. Sound good? Ok here is the first book we are going with:

Book Blurb:  An engineer whose life is in shambles meets a blind oceanographer who spends her life at sea. In this memoir of their courtship, David Fisichella writes of science, love, adventure, and danger on the ocean. He survives heavy weather, an equator crossing, and a pirate attack off the coast of Somalia. He learns how scientists study ocean physics and why their research is so important, how people live for months on a crowded boat, and what it means to be working for, and dating, the chief scientist. Told with humor, gritty details, and a refreshing sense of wonder about our oceans.

My Thoughts:“Love, Piracy and Science at Sea.” That subtitle really caught my attention right off the …

Book Blurb:Georgina Kincaid has formidable powers. Immortality, seduction, shape-shifting into any human form she desires, walking in heels that would cripple mere mortals—all child’s play to a succubus like her.

Helping to plan her ex-boyfriend’s wedding is a different story. Georgina isn’t sure which is worse—that Seth is marrying another woman, or that Georgina has to run all over Seattle trying on bridesmaid dresses. Still, there are distractions. Georgina’s roommate, Roman, is cluttering her apartment with sexual tension. Then there’s Simone, the new succubus in town, who’s intent on corrupting Seth.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, she’s started having dreams shadowy, dangerous but alluring dreams, dreams that don’t want to let …

All YA Love: Interview with Y.S. Lee

Today I am honored to share an interview with Y.S. Lee. I recently had the pleasure of reading her debut A Spy In The House (The Agency #1)  and  loved this unique spin on the Victorian era.Can you tell us about the book?Spy is a novel about keeping secrets, uncovering truths, scheming women, and the Great Stink of 1858 (a disgusting heat wave that paralyzed the city of London). It’s also a zippy adventure and a lighthearted joke about mystery novels. It contains not a single vampire.

My favorite scene took place in the carriage as Mary & James talk marriage & sonnet sequences, I’m smiling just thinking about it. What was your favorite scene to write?I could write dialogue between Mary and James all day. I ended up pruning quite a lot of it because if I’d left it all in, the book …
