My
paranormal romance Rough Weather is finally available on
general release, and I'm celebrating!
You
can now buy the book at Amazon
US, Amazon
UK, All
Romance Ebooks and of course at Totally
Bound (where every purchase earns you points toward free books!)
I'm sure that it will be available at Barnes and Noble, too, in a
couple of days.
I've
got a brand new snog from the book for you below. And of course, in
honor of the release, I've got a contest for you. In fact, I have two
giveaways.
You
can win a $10 bookstore gift certificate on this post today.
All you have to do is read my kiss excerpt below and then leave a
comment telling me why you enjoy paranormal stories. Be sure to
include your email address. I'll randomly draw a winner next Sunday.
In
addition, I have a contest going on all month long, at all the guest
blogs I've scheduled about the book. You can win two ebooks, Rough
Weather plus the sequel Hot Spell, where
the characters of Marut and Ondine first appeared. To
enter, send an email to contest
[at] lisabetsarai [dot] com
with the subject line “Rough Weather Giveaway”. Contest closes on
March 31, 2014.
And
of course, you can find sizzling kisses every Sunday over at
Victoria's place. Why not pay
her a visit?
She
had been swimming in the dream, far from land, slicing through the
sea with the speed of a shark, the grace of a dolphin, acutely aware
of the burgeoning life around her, glorying in her freedom. The space
below the surface had glowed like the interior of an emerald, lit by
the sun above. Arousal hummed through her, wellbeing shading into
something like need, but not urgent, not yet—merely a side effect
of her finely tuned perception. She would let the ache build,
gathering force and volume, until the flood of release was as
inevitable as the tide.
Shadows
had gathered overhead. The pellucid depths turned grey. Choppy swells
churned above. Then with terrifying suddenness she’d been
hooked—arrested in her liquid trajectory, dragged up into
the air, sputtering and thrashing like the fish she sometimes
resembled.
She
had found herself suspended in lightning-shot blackness, hung by some
pivot between her shoulder blades. Fierce winds swung her back and
forth, whipping her hair into her face. Anger and terror warred in
her chest.
“Release
me!” she’d cried. The gale had ripped the words from her and
flung them into the skies. “Let me go, whoever you…”
Firm
lips had sealed hers before she could finish. Invisible in the
swirling dark, someone took possession of her mouth, forcing it open
with an unseen tongue and plunging within. She’d tasted winter
frost and summer fruit, salt and iron, a hint of smoke. Hands
wandered over her bare flesh, cool and knowing. A rough twist to an
aching nipple. The scrape of a fingernail down her spine. A plump
thumb prodded her quivering clit. Then a rigid bulk rooted itself in
the slick cleft between her thighs.
She’d
been soaked, despite her fear and indignation. She liquefied further
as her shadow-clad assailant slid into her depths. Her simmering lust
leapt to a boil. “Please, no…” she’d moaned into his
demanding mouth, even as she clenched around the exquisite hardness
invading her. A storm of sensation raged inside her as he arched up
and inward, dragging the taut length of his cock across her clitoris.
Electric bliss flashed from her core to her extremities.
He’d
pulled her to his chest, mashing her breasts against smooth planes of
skin and muscle. The arms restraining her were iron bands,
inescapable despite her squirming. Wild winds coiled around them in a
tightening spiral. She fought the pleasure, unwilling to be taken by
a stranger, to have her freedom stripped from her so completely, but
he was inexorable, driving closer to her crisis with each powerful
thrust.
“Surrender
to me.” His voice pierced her as surely as his cock, straight to
the core. Melodious, gentle, it coaxed her to relinquish control. His
soft words were not a command but an invitation. “You will never be
complete until you surrender.”

Congrats on your release Lisabet! I don't usually enjoy paranormal or sci-fi as I prefer stories that could "really happen." However there are exceptions - like Star Wars and this story which I'm dying to read! Your excerpts have me hooked.
Amazing excerpt. Congrats on the release. I am hooked. Paranormal are fun and intriguing.

WOW! What a hot excerpt, ok can't wait to read more! I like paranormal romance, because the impossible is real, love that lasts forever, healing abilities, hidden strengths, and exciting adventures... missmichelle345@gmail.com
Great excerpt. I love a good PNR because it's limits are only as far as one can imagine. HEAs, vampires, aliens, and shifters oh my ;)
That reads awesomely. I like paranormal reads because it's fun to imagine an alternative reality and shifters are quite sexy too.

Loved the excerpt. I like paranormal reads because I read to escape reality and what better way than with the paranormal. wcraig5432@yahoo.com
I like paranormal elements because they're something you don't see in everyday life. Thanks for the giveaway. turtle6422@gmail.com
congrats on the new release and thanks for the awesome excerpt! I like paranormal romance b/c I love seeing how imaginative and creative the authors are. Reinventing the wheel so to speak :)
Such a steamy (pun intended) excerpt. I'm the opposite of Normandie - I prefer to read about things that can't happen. And I think that fantasy/sci-fi/horror tends to work with real-life issues repackaged into fantastic elements, which makes them a little easier to handle and process in enjoyable ways. aureliatevans (at) yahoo (dot) com
I love paranormals... seeing what creatures and beings come to life with an author's words... stepping into a world of mystery and mystique and seeing what their lives are like.
Congrats on your release Lisabet! Enjoyed the excerpt!

Oh, that's lovely! I like the world-building in paranormals, and the tension of unusual characters dealing with everyday emotions and problems!
