London St. James Audio Book Tour




Welcome to Paradise - A Paradise Ranch Novella

Blurb:

Just three days before her thirtieth birthday, acquisition editor for Starling Press, Sutton Callaway has buried the last of her family in the cemetery on the plot of land that she inherited.

After turning down the powerful and wealthy owner of Triple Bar-S Ranch to sell her inheritance and walk away from the obligations of running one of the biggest cattle ranches in West Texas, Sutton puts her Dallas condo on the market, resigns her position from SP, packs the contents of her life into boxes, and heads for the one place filled with bittersweet memories—Paradise Ranch.

Will Sutton be able to handle the pressures of being the newly appointed cattle baroness, the rough and tumble men under her employ, and the temptation of a sexy mystery man? Or will walking in her grandmother’s matriarchal boots be too much to fill?

My Review:

London has a beautiful writing style - lyrical, descriptive, brimming with life. She took me right into the scene and got me invested in the characters - I like them all. I love cowboy romances. I think I'm a real redneck (as my son calls me). I loved the accents in the narration. I enjoyed the feel of the book. Audio book is sometimes difficult for me as I find the best time is when I'm driving but I don't drive often. Other times I listen is in the kitchen, but when it gets to a sex scene I have to switch it off as I have three kids under 18 within hearing distance. But I really enjoyed this one when I got a chance. I think it helped to hear the accents as opposed to reading them. I won't give this book a rating as I see it more as a prequel to the series. It ends with a cliffhanger so I don't suggest reading it alone. I certainly do want to find out what's going to happen next but will probably look at buying the kindle book instead due to my lack of privacy.

Great sexual tension, setting, writing style and potential for a conflict-filled romance.

Interview and Spotlight - Audio Book Beneath the Starry Sky by Jessica Subject


Today, I'm spotlighting Jessica's audio book, Beneath the Starry Sky and she's answered some interview questions:



Beneath the Starry Sky ~ An Audio Book!

A 1Night Stand story

By Jessica E. Subject

Narrated by Audrey Lusk

Erotic Contemporary Romance

Left at the altar with bald patches on her head and her self-confidence stripped away, Tamara Johnson must pick up the pieces of her life and face her Alopecia Areata, the autoimmune disease causing her hair to fall out. She is convinced no man will date a bald woman and arranges a one-night stand through Madame Evangeline’s popular service, 1Night Stand. With her new wig held firmly in place, Tamara arrives at the Castillo Hotel in Las Vegas for a night of passion and pleasure. Anything more than one night would mean exposing her bald head, and she will never do that to any man again.

Running into the Castillo Hotel, away from the paparazzi constantly at his heels, Josh Summers wants to spend his next few days locked away from the flashing lights and screaming fans. When he finds an incredibly sexy woman lying on his hotel room bed in nothing but lingerie, he thinks management has made a mistake. Leaving her behind, he heads for the lobby to get the situation rectified. But an unexpected text from Madame Evangeline sends him back to his room. Though unsure whether the woman on the bed is really his perfect match or just another fan believing him to be like his character on television, he knows he must find out, even if it means he must risk telling her his own secrets. If Tamara can handle his imperfections, she just might be his ideal woman.

Interview:

Who would be in your cast if your book was made into a TV show or movie?
Thank you for having me today, Vicki! If Beneath the Starry Sky became a TV show or movie, I would pick Josh Duhamel to play my hero, Josh. (Yes, he was the inspiration.) And I would pick Jennifer Aniston to play Tamara.

Which character would you most like to spend time with and why?
I would love to spend time with either one of them. They are both down-to-Earth characters who have had to learn to deal with changes in their lives. They’ve made tough decisions and are stronger for it.

Would you like to live in the world you created?
This story begins in Las Vegas, which to be honest, holds no appeal to me. I’m not one for big cities. But, they do end up hiking at Mount Charlston, which I would love to visit.

Which trait do you most like in your MC?
I like Tamara’s spunk. She does deal with some vulnerability due to her alopecia, but when she’s feeling confident, watch out!

Your MC is having a relaxing evening at home. What is he or she doing?

If she’s alone, she’s likely reading with a glass of wine. If Josh is with her, well, I’m sure you can imagine. ;)

The Star Princess by Jessica E. Subject - Top Ten Things and Review


THE STAR PRINCESS
A Beyond Fairytales audio book
By Jessica E. Subject
New Adult Erotic Sci-Fi Romance
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
ISBN: 978-1-61333-765-3


NOW AN AUDIOBOOK!

Narrated by Jon Filipko



In one week, Princess Ro’sa will board a spaceship, leaving her home on Minjet to be with her betrothed on Earth. The only problem is, she detests the prince’s selfish and arrogant ways, preferring to spend time with his personal aide, a man who stirs her desires in ways she never imagined possible with his radiant blue eyes and smouldering lips. And oh, the way he touches her.

Earth’s post-apocalyptic landscape offers little but the alliance offers much and a princess must do her duty, no matter the danger to her person and to her heart.


I've listened to a couple of audio books - it's a new thing for me, and I have to admit this one was my favourite so far. I can't believe I hadn't read one of Jessica's books yet. Her writing really appeals to me. It was sexy and sweet, with the perfect conflict and touch of romance. She kept the pace going well - no dragging, but enough detail to make the story so fascinating. Her writing style was easy to read and identify with. The romance was completely satisfying.

I loved the alien world she created. She has a way of creating a world without detracting from the human story. There weren't too many descriptions or details of anything insignificant, but enough to create an interest. There were plenty of fascinating twists and turns into the novella plot - unusual for a short book, and the characterisation was realistic and authentic. I have one complaint - I would have liked it to be longer, purely because I was enjoying it so much.

I also really enjoyed the narrator's style and voice.

Audible.com Release Date: February 26, 2015




They fight to protect those who would never welcome them into the human world... 

Petúr always knew he and his brothers-in-arms were different. Something more. Something not human. Yet, he never expected to find out the truth of their origins, nor fall for a human woman whose father was set to destroy Neverland. 

Ever since she was a child, Wyndi dreamed of an angel with eyes of the purest gold, although she never really believed such a man existed until she met the hauntingly beautiful Petúr of the lost boys. 
With a prophecy to fulfill, a woman to protect, a portal to find, and evil darklings out for blood, will Petúr be strong enough to rise up and claim what’s rightfully his, or lose everything to a long-time nemesis, Grapple the Dark?












Her tongue darted out, licking her lips. Was she nervous? Well, he’d be the balm to soothe those nerves. He focused on her mouth. Those delicious lips were kiss swollen and moist, making his cock strain even more against the constraint of his pants.
“Okay,” she said in a small, breathy voice, the lids covering her blue eyes at half-mast.
He reached for the hem of the too big nightshirt covering the body he had to see, lifting until he revealed her little white panties and lacy bra covered breasts. Blood raced through his veins. He wanted to do everything with her. To her. Touch all over. Taste every inch of her. Put his fingers and cock into the tight, warm sheath he knew was awaiting him.
Take her. Hell yeah. Those two words became a chant within his mind. He wanted to take his woman in every position he could imagine and then some. His woman? Yes. Yes she was his, or would be. Slow your roll. You don’t want to scare her. He had to maintain. He couldn’t go at her like some out of control beast.
Leaning down, he kissed between the creamy mounds of her cleavage, skimmed his cheek across the apex of her right breast, watching goose bumps scatter across her flesh in a wanton invitation. Unable to stop himself from licking her, he lapped at her in one, long, lingering stroke, from the top edge of the bra, up her collarbone, only stopping because the material he’d lifted hindered his progress being bunched around her neck.
“Oh, hell,” he muttered. “You taste so good.” 
She shook, and he wanted her shakes.
“I do?”
“Yes,” he answered, feeling her warm palms slide down his biceps. Even that tantalized him. “I’m already addicted.” He went to his elbows, slid his hands under her shoulder blades, arching her up, dropped his head, grabbed the flimsy middle of her bra with his teeth, bit, and tugged, ripping it free.
“Oh!” she uttered.
Moving the material aside with his nose, he pulled back enough to see her, soaking every bit of her pink and white flesh in with his eyes, before flicking a rosebud nipple with the tip of his tongue.
“Petúr.” He reveled in the sound of his name falling from her lips, and sucked the nipple he’d been teasing into his mouth. “Mm…We should stop.” He lightly bit. Swirled his tongue around the aroused nub. “Oh…Never mind. Don’t stop,” she uttered, as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
“Never stop. No.” He sounded like a Neanderthal, but just then, when Wyndi pressed herself into his erection, he didn’t care.


London Saint James has lived in many places, but never felt “at home” until she met the real-life man of her dreams and settled down in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. London lives with her husband and their fat cat who thinks he owns them.


As an award-winning, bestselling, multi-published author, London is living her childhood dream. She knew all the scribbling she did, that big imagination of hers, and all those clamoring characters running around in her head would pay off someday.

Character Interview:

London’s lunch with the Lost Boys of Rise of the Lost Prince.

LSJ: *Pulls up a seat and waves* Vapor. Dash. Firefox. Vibe. Tera and Byte. Thanks for hanging out with me today. Did you have any problems with my directions? I stink at giving directions.

Vibe: You’re welcome. Thanks for asking us. *Glances around* You have a nice place here, and no, we didn’t have problems finding you.

LSJ: Thank you. I’m glad you didn’t have issues finding your way here. *Pours a glass of sweet tea and passes the pitcher to Tera* Lunch will be ready in a minute or two. Burgers and ribs are almost done grilling. I hope everyone likes BBQ.

Firefox: Love it.

LSJ: *Grins* Good. I wish Bell could have come.

Vibe: She went with Wyndi and Petúr to locate the portal.

LSJ: Do you think they’ll find it?

Dash: *Sits the pitcher of tea down on the table* Wyndi said she had a vision. She seemed pretty sure of the location.

LSJ: *Nods* Sorry if I’m gawking.

Dash: Don’t be.

LSJ: It’s just…Well; you guys are some of the best looking men I’ve ever seen.

Vapor: Thanks, sugar lips. *Winks* You can gawk at me any time. *Gives me the once over* In fact. Let’s leave the rest of these losers and go ‘gawk’ at each other in private.

LSJ: *Pats chest* You are the charmer, Vapor.

Dash: *Snort* Vapor’s something, but I wouldn’t go with charmer.

Vapor: Bite me, Dash. *Flips Dash the bird*

*Firefox flings a flame from his fingers. It arcs high, headed for Vapor*
*Vapor extinguishes the flame with a ball of water that splashes when it hits the tiled floor*

Firefox: Stop flirting, water boy.

Vapor: What’s it to you, hot head?

Tera: Come on guys. Stop acting like uncivilized roughians. *Smiles at me* Sorry, London.

Byte: Yeah. What he said. Sorry, London.

LSJ: You guys are fine. No worries. *Takes a sip of my tea. Swallows* Do you guys always bicker?

Firefox: Most times. But, that’s just how we are. Although, I’d die for any one of my brothers.

Vibe: We’d all do the same.

Vapor: We’ve all got each other’s backs.

LSJ: All for one and one for all, huh?

Tera: *Chuckles* Something like that, but isn’t that the three musketeers?

LSJ: *Laughs* Yeah. I think it is. *Buzzer sounds* Well, that’s my timer. I better go round up the burgers and the ribs.

Tera and Byte: *In harmonized unison* We’ll help you.

Vapor: I’ll help, too.

Firefox: Me, too.

Dash: *Groans*

Vibe: *Rolls his silver eyes*

LSJ: Sure guys. The more the merrier. Follow me.

Vapor: *Puts his arm around my shoulders* I’ll follow you anywhere.

LSJ: *Blushes*
