Book Description:
Life changed
for Deanna Brooks the night she attended a book signing for her aunt’s
best-selling paranormal romance series. There she met Burney ‘The Cover God’ Sheridan. The model for
the series’ fictional vampire hero, Burn is beyond handsome and has an
overabundance of Irish charm. He’s too good to be true.
Burn
Sheridan, a man with scores of past lives, has a secret: he is a vampire.
Meeting Deanna is agony because for the first time in over two hundred years,
Burn experiences the rarest of vampiric needs—the mate-of-the-soul connection.
Keeping people at a distance has been Burn's existence for centuries, but
Deanna makes his pledge of staying detached impossible.
Many
obstacles lie ahead and the biggest of all may be Burn himself. Can Deanna and
Burn overcome them and find lasting love?
Excerpt:
Deanna tapped her sandaled foot in annoyance. She didn’t want to bother
with the guy, but Janice insisted, bouncing on the balls of her feet in
excitement as they advanced toward the table.
As they moved closer, the model’s masculinity became more potent. She
could hear the slight lilt to his deep voice as he answered the ladies questions.
His eyes crinkled sexily when he smiled. His teeth were perfectly shaped and a
brilliant white.
Deanna glanced at her aunt’s table a few times, hoping to catch her eye,
but Carol was busy working her crowd. While Deanna enjoyed an historical
romance she’d never quite taken to the paranormal genre. Aunt Carol always
mailed her advance copies, but she usually wound up giving them to Janice. She
should’ve given the books a chance. Judging from the crowd, paranormal romance
seemed popular. There was a steady stream of women coming and going.
Janice clutched her arm. “We’re next!”
Oh, yippie-friggin’-yay. Janice stood next to Burn. Damn, he is tall. A few inches
under six-six, anyway, Deanna
observed. Janice babbled nonsensical chatter while the model smiled, nodded,
and signed a couple of her paperbacks.
Janice put her arm around the man’s trim waist. “Take our picture, Dean!”
Deanna raised the camera and looked up just as Burn’s searing gaze swept
over her like a roll of white heat. God, his eyes had turned from black to
silver again. Those special magic contacts were amazing. Holding out the
camera, she clicked and hoped Janice was in the frame because she couldn’t tear
her eyes away from “Sizzle” or “Burn” or whatever his name was. Deanna clicked
another for good measure.
Janice took the camera and shoved her toward the leather-clad hunk. Her
mouth went dry, and her insides fluttered. For God’s sake, he was only a model.
Why was she so flustered?
She stepped next to him and glanced up. Oh
hell yeah, very tall. He
towered over her by at least a foot. His arm stretched out to clasp her
shoulder, and he brought her in tight against his side. Solid, rock-hard
muscle. Her insides began to churn in arousal.
“What’s your name, darlin’?”
She couldn’t speak. Deanna was like Ralphie in A Christmas Story, sitting on Santa’s lap. Duh…uh. No words came out.
“Her name is Deanna, but I call her Dean!” Janice sang out.
Burn gently squeezed her shoulder, and it almost brought her to her
knees, his touch was so intoxicating.
“Dean. I like that,” he purred.
Dear God. His voice, was he Irish? The tone sounded low, sexy, and rumbled deep in his impressive chest,
sending shock waves through her entire body.
Then the unthinkable happened. A wash of scent covered her. Deanna could
taste it in her mouth, and feel it on her skin. Was the overpowering aroma his
cologne? Some guys liked to drown themselves with those tacky body sprays. Burn
must have marinated himself in the swill.
Deanna wheezed and her throat closed up. Her hand clasped her throat.
Trying to breathe through her nose was unsuccessful. The only thing she smelled
was his spicy, musky, overpowering scent. Her eyes watered and her body
trembled furiously.
“Are you all right, love?”
Deanna
fell to her knees, fighting for every breath. Strong arms encircled her and
carried her from the sales floor through to a door marked Staff Only.
Review by Leigh
Savage:
Imagine getting to meet that sexy hunky cover model from
your favorite romance novel.
Deanna could really care less about romance novels or the model
that graces the cover that all the women are drooling over.
Who would expect that Burn the cover model that portrays the
hunky vampire was really a vampire and from the moment he sees Deanna he knows
that he’s found his soul mate now he’s got to find a way to convene her.
This story is fast past story that keeps your turning the
pages eager to find out if love will overcome.
The connection between Burn and Deanna is so strong that no
matter how much Deanna would like to deny logic she simply can’t seem to deny
anything when it comes to Burn. When it
comes to Deanna and Burns relationship you Karyn Gerrard has written in a way
that not only does the connection between them seems like a living breathing
thing that draws you giving you the hope
that they will find a way to overcome everything to find their happily ever
after. This is a wonderful new twist to
a vampire romance story that you’re sure to enjoy.
