Friday Friends: Pure Passion – #AmberDaulton #DarkRomance #FridayFriends

Friends Friday banner

Happy Friday! Today I’d like to introduce you to another special author, my long-time friend Amber Daulton.

Amber’s books fall solidly in the romance genre, but they are distinguished by incredible, incendiary love scenes. Her characters are often conflicted about their possibilities for a relationship. Since many of her stories are dark romance or suspense, there’s frequently real danger threatening their futures. That doesn’t stop them from craving each other so fiercely that they often can’t think straight. Amber is not afraid to write explicit passion, the kind that wrings you out and leaves you limp and gasping.

Her heroines are no shrinking violets. They tend to be tough, smart and sexually self-confident. And almost of her protagonists, both male and female, are is some way scarred, emotionally, physically or both – not surprising since she has two series that center around organized crime syndicates. Certainly she forces her characters to really earn their happy endings!

I’ve featured quite a few of her novels on this blog and reviewed several. Here’s a sampling:

Trevor’s Redemption

 

Trevor's Redemption cover

The danger and lies are more than she can handle.

Shea O’Bannon feels like a fifth wheel around her romantically paired-off friends, but there’s too much slime in the dating pool for her to bother with it. Then she sees her two-timing ex, Trevor Madero, serenading the mostly female crowd at a live-music bar. God knows trouble follows him around, but her desire for him rushes back in anyway. After he rescues her from a handsy drunk, temptation takes over.

Determined to prove he never stepped out on Shea, Trevor slides back into her life—and her heart—with forever in mind. Even with the wall he keeps up to protect her, his secret criminal life weighs heavy on his soul and drives a wedge between them.

When the truth comes out and his enemies target them both, they’ll have to fight for their love, or kiss it goodbye.

Dark Hearts Aflame

A drug lord on the run. A cartel princess in hiding. All it takes is a spark to set their world ablaze.

Bristol Rieger left his criminal life behind for a fresh start in Mexico. Flying under the radar of the government and the cartels alike, his best-laid plans go awry when a woman from his narco days discovers his whereabouts. Carmen Lozano, however, is no longer the innocent girl he remembers.

Carmen escaped the chains of her tiara and her abusive marriage to join a group of resistance fighters. The last thing she expected was the now-retired capo setting out to seduce her with his wicked touch. Embracing the blood on his hands is easy, but his secrets wear on her patience.

When their enemies close in, Bristol will have to summon his inner monster to protect her. But can that monster be tamed again?

Before signing off, I should mention that in addition to her writing, Amber has a business creating and selling book covers.That explains why her own covers are so compelling!

She designed one of my most popular covers, for my short romance Getaway Girl.
