5 Blue Ribbons for Eloise's Awakening--Immortality's Caress book 2!

Historical/Erotic Romance
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Review Site: Romance Junkies
Reviewer: Moon Tee
Blue Ribbon Rating: 5
REVIEW SNIPPET
Monica M. Martin has written a great sequel to her first book, IMMORTALITY’S CARESS: ALLEGRA’S SEDUCTION. Eloise is a head strong vampire that knows what she wants andshe wants Christian out of her house. But does she? Christian enchanted her and she loved the kisses and caresses he gave her. The sex scenes are hot and will leave you fanning and wanting more. The setting, story, characters and dialogue are well developed, and Ms. Martin’s research shines with facts throughout, lending an authentic feel to this book. I enjoyed reading about this era and feel that ELOISE’S AWAKENING is a great book. Ms. Martin, I will be looking forward to reading your next book in this series.
Thank You! Thank you! Thank you for the fabulous review, Moon Tee! R

Eloise's Awakening:Immortality's Caress 2 Available Now!


New Release at eXtasy Books! Link to book page and excerpt (18 + please)

Blurb

Eloise de Mann is over a hundred years old. She is vivacious, spirited, rather eccentric and somewhat gauche, for a vampire. Her past hurts have her steering clear of the male species, with the exception of a few select immortals, and her incompetent guardian Claude.

Eloise loathes coffins and will only use one when necessary, so naturally she is outraged when she awakens in one, knowing her male guardian has betrayed her. She climbs from the coffin in a right state, but hang nails, disheveled hair and a wrinkled, musty-scented gown, are the least of her problems! Upon entering her home, Eloise finds that an Englishman, Lord Christian Montgomery, has taken up residence there. Luckily for him, the deafening voice of reason, Queen Claudia's, forbids Eloise to harm him in any way! Her only option is to seduce him.

This pair battle over more than mere possessions. Come taste the second scorching installment of Immortality's Caress.

Allegra's Seduction: Immortality's Caress 1 ~ Every scene is rich in detail as well as sensuality. I could not put this book down.


Review from Romance Junkies
Allegra’s Seduction: Immortality’s Caress book 1
Available now at eXtasy Books www.extasybooks.com

Allegra is very much her own woman, strong and independent. The characterizations of her friends, Sophia and Eloise are also well developed and likeable. Gabriele is a delicious rake and I found him very endearing. I also loved the vivid descriptions of the costumes, parties, the language and mannerisms of that time. I really felt as if I were there.
I have not read this author before, but plan to remedy that.

What kind of 'witch' are you?






You are a water witch. Beautiful and intuitive, you draw your power from the water. You can be tranquil and terrible at one and the same time and might be described as "moody." You appreciate literature and may be a poet/writer. Graceful and powerful as the water itself, the rest of us envy your ability to love and be loved by others.

See what witch you are

To all readers and supporters of eXtasy Books:

Extasy has reached an agreement with EbookAd. Until the new website is completed, eXtasy Books will be temporarily available for purchase on the original site, http://www.extasybooks.com

Any customers with a bookshelf on this site prior to the closing can access all previously purchased books. Please make a record so that when the new site is up, old libraries can be rebuilt on the new site. The new storefront will be located at the same URL, and is moving along nicely. A gala reopening party is planned for its debut. We will give all customers fair warning before redirecting the URL and shutting down the original site.

On a personal note from The EEE. (Stefani V. Kelsey, Executive Managing Editor)

This was one of the worst things that can happen to an ebook publisher--Down time. We want to thank our business colleagues for their full support.

As for our readers, Thank you for understanding this situation, stressful though it was on both sides. We wouldn’t be here without you.

And, of course, the wonderful authors in our house. Their faith kept us going through long hours and many high stress situations, and we can’t thank them enough.

It is our hope that all parties can now move forward and conduct our business without any further incident.

In closing, thanks again, and we love you!
