July 2009

Hi everyone! A thousand apologies for the delay in this newsletter.

So, we're starting off with a contest! Well, two actually. TWO PRIZES TO BE WON!!! Here are the details:

First contest: For everyone

Join our newsletter (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thelovechronicle/) and you're automatically entered in the drawing for one free download of At Long Last, Love or any of my backlist in whatever format you desire. If you're already a member, then you are already in the running.

Easy, right?

Second contest: For those who've bought (no pirates allowed!) and read At Long Last, Love

Answer this question: Which Arthurian legend inspired this story?

Email your answer to madison@thelovechronicle.com . Sorry, I won't be offering any more hints, so don't email asking me for hints or asking if your answer is correct.

Anyone who emails me and has the correct answer will be entered into a drawing for a free download of any book in my backlist (coz you already own [through legal means] a copy of At Long Last, Love and have read it, so I don't think you'd want another copy) in whatever format you desire.

CONTEST RULES:

1. Even if you're in the running for the first contest, you are still eligible to enter the second one.
2. If no one gets the correct answer for the second contest, I may pick one whose answer is the nearest. If none, then I may just have a random drawing from all those who have emailed me an answer.
3. Whatever happens, there will be *two* winners. So, even if you entered the two contests, you are eligible to win only one. Fair, right? But entering both contests gives you one chance more to win!

Contest ends on July 31, 2009. Winners will be announced on my blog on August 3, 2009. Coincidentally, that's my dad's birthday!

Journeying to the back of beyond to claim the inheritance left by his great-aunt, Tyler Morrison never expects to find hot, sizzling passion with a woman whose touch scorches him, who makes him ache like no one has before.

Elise longs for love, and she believes she has found it in Tyler, who delights in bringing her to the heights and soaring with her. Night after night, in the darkness where magic has the most potency, they indulge their insatiable appetites and satisfy their lusts. Yet, Elise harbours a deep secret, a secret that has the power to destroy the very thing she has ever wanted…

“As I mentioned, my father passed away two years ago but I had never gotten around to going through his things. Two months ago, I finally searched through them, in hopes that there would be some forgotten stock certificates that are now worth millions among his things, or something to help us with our financial problems.” He winced as he remembered the panic and anxiety of those dreadful days. The situation was still the same but at least now, there was hope. “That’s when I saw Great-Aunt Mathilda’s letter and I came as soon as arrangements can be made.”

“I see.” She nodded slowly, then spread her hands. “I’m sorry it has come to this—”

“Won’t you help me?” he cried in desperation, going over to take her hands in his and pulling her close to him, the fragrance of wisteria drifting up to his nose.

“What? Have sex with you? After everything you said about me?” she asked weakly and he knew she was feeling the same thing he did.

Incredibly, his cock was stirring inside his trousers.

He blinked. She was so near that his eyes crossed when he tried to focus on her face. Their lower bodies were touching, her soft stomach brushing against his hardening cock through their clothes and she was magic for making him feel so much that he didn’t care she wasn’t pretty or sexy because he couldn’t see her. He had closed his eyes to savor the sensations that were shooting up his cock, sensations so excruciating he felt his whole body was on fire. She had done nothing but touch him through his trousers and he was dimly aware that she had pulled one hand free from his grasp, the skillful hand moving over the growing length of his cock with elusive touches, tracing the hardening outline then cupping it in the palm of her scorching hand.

The sound of licking lips made him open his eyes. and The sight he saw hurt him, making him wish he’d kept his eyes closed. Her plain face glowed with seductive light and her expression was openly teasing, inviting…and—he had to revise his opinion—she was painfully sexy. The ache spread to his cock, which was squirming inside his briefs and seeking out her heat.

He reacted to her like he’d never had a woman before but he had, lots of them. There was something about her though, something between them that made the very air shimmer.

ParaNormal Romance Reviews

"Psychic Heat was an amazing story! I really liked the setting, Ms. Blake did a great job creating an alternate universe, and everything that went along with it. The characters were very well done also, I never expected the identity of one of the villains. The romance between Rhaine, Jaden, and Morgan was very intense, with lots of romantic feelings...Oh, and the love scenes were scorching! All taken, this was an excellent story, and I can't wait to read more from this author!"

Joyfully Reviewed

"Sex Symphony is sizzling times three...the love scenes between the triad are scorching hot. With a paranormal twist I was unprepared for, Sex Symphony really delivered a powerful and enigmatic ménage of love and the means we use to find out perfect love.  Madison Blake deserves well earned kudos for this blistering love story."
