Exclusive Peek: Honoring the Goddess by Madison Blake



Honoring the Goddess
By Madison Blake
All Rights Reserved
Genre: Erotic Romance, GLBT, Menage
Available from Ellora's Cave on August 13

Summary from Author:

Lissana was horrified to find she was still hot for Tragan years after she’d sworn off him, hating him for the way he dumped her sister.  Not only that, but he had even taken her childhood nemesis Dalin as his mate. But she couldn’t control the way her body reacts to both men, nor could she discount the ecstasy she discovered in their arms one sex-drenched night. Try as she might, she couldn’t avoid them, for the Goddess had grouped them together for the ritual that was supposed to bring her back to her people.

Tragan and Dalin themselves set out to batter down Lissana’s defenses every chance they get, because she completed their triad, the tribe’s opinions be damned. Not only would they not allow the dissident tribe members to tear them apart, but the triad may be the crucial key to honor the Goddess the way she wanted.

Note:  This book contains male-male bonding, three-way bonding with a female, and a scene with multiple partners.


Exclusive Excerpt: (Warning! Explicit material below.)

Mists shrouded Lissana, obstructing her vision. Even the light from the blue moon overhead couldn’t penetrate the thick fog. Yet she knew she had reached the middle of the Clearing and there was nothing to hinder her from dancing out her desires, her frustration and her confusion.

Unlike her dream, the music ringing in her head was wild and urgent and the drum beat loud and deep in her blood. She threw herself into the dance, shifting with untamed, jerky movements that were, strangely, still in rhythm to the forceful pounding of the music in her. She spun and leaped and twirled, her heart pumping hard to support her motions. She stomped her feet, digging her toes into the cool earth and luxuriating in the sensation of the porous soil, the life-giver. She waved her arms into the air, her body swaying, bending, gyrating.

BOOM-ka-BOOM-ba-ba-BOOM-BOOM.

She danced for Goddess knew how long and soon, she became aware of nothing but the music in her veins urging her onward, propelling her to continue dancing. Her movements flowed from one to the next. Time and space took on a surreal quality, as though she were dreaming and watching someone else.

Someone joined her from behind—a man, from his scent, feral and sharp. And another one came from the left—his odor gentler than the first and a little uncertain. Their musks were somewhat familiar, but she didn’t want to think who they could be. Tonight was for feeling, for getting lost in the dance. Her blood heated from their nearness and her soul rose in joyous abandon when they slipped into the dance as though they’d been there from the start and they picked up the rhythm as though they could hear the same music that she did.

She had never felt so alive.

The drumbeat increased in urgency, the music layering with subtle nuances.

The dance changed, becoming sexual.

Both men moved nearer and her breath caught at the scorching heat blasting her from two sides. Still, she didn’t stop dancing. The first man plastered his front against her back and he ran his hands down the sides of her body, learning her shape, then up again to cup her breasts. Desire lanced its way down to her pussy and she bumped her buttocks back against him, inviting him to grind his hard cock against her.

She moaned when he did, the lust spreading outward from the center of her pussy. A slight breeze blew, rustling the leaves of the trees that surrounded the clearing, the sound prodding them onward. Their dance became teasing and erotic, Man engaging Woman in movements as old as the land. Their breathing turned shallow, manifesting in small puffs of air in the mists. Though the night was cold, she was burning so hot she felt she might explode soon.

The man behind her played with her nipples as she continued her sinuous movements meant now to excite him. She tasted his raw need in the air and sensed the way his interest sharpened. His hips didn’t let up on the delicious slow grinding of his cock against her buttocks. Her hunger grew and built and spiraled, making her ache so much the pain was almost unbearable.

The second man stepped in front of her, his lanky frame slim in the moonlight. The taste of his mouth burst open the primal lust she’d thus far kept in check, which flooded her veins in an overpowering deluge. Her senses were magnified—every caress stirred her, every stroke incited her passion, every gasp and groan goaded the rhythmic slams of her buttocks against the man behind her.

Summary from Author's website:

Jobless and about to be homeless, Raisa Sheldon is captivated by a glittering diamond star. When she touches it, she’s transported to a dazzling palace owned by two amazing—and gorgeous—men.

Sex with her is the only cure for the potentially fatal disease that afflicts them both. She wields the power of life and death over them, but it was nothing compared to their ability to provide her with extreme pleasure beyond imagination as the days and nights blend into one long orgasmic delight. When one shocking revelation rocks the axis of her world, the palace becomes a trap from which she has no wish to escape.

Note: This book contains hot, intense m/m and m/m/f sex.


Exclusive Excerpt: (Warning! Explicit Material below)

She should leave now, while they were otherwise occupied. She turned to go—

And found she couldn’t.

She didn’t want to.

Enthralled by the sight in front of her, she stood rooted to the spot, immobile, frozen as she watched the two men make love with a ferocity that called to her. A wave of pure unadulterated hunger hit her and her lust rose up in answer, filling her body with unfulfilled desire. Her blood burned and slammed through her veins, igniting fires all over.

The lovers kissed and caressed with wild, vicious heat. She started and moaned when invisible hands stroked her as well—down her back in a long smooth glide, then cupping her buttocks, the same way Stallion was cupping Adamas’. She experienced sensuous rubs on her belly, easing the heavy ache, then lower, lower, until a phantom hand was teasing her pussy, the same way Adamas was rubbing his hand along Stallion’s powerful cock.

What the hell was happening? How was it that she could feel both their touches?

Painful and urgent hunger etched on his face, Stallion snarled and wrestled Adamas to the ground. A white, solid pallet appeared out of nowhere under Adamas’ buckling knees. Adamas moved fast for a man in the grip of a terrible lust. He must’ve pulled the cot from somewhere, maybe even under the bed she had been sitting on earlier.

Like the horse for which she’d likened him to, Stallion poised to plunge into Adamas, his massive cock rigid at the entrance of his lover’s hole.

Her breath stuck in her throat.

He was…beautiful. Magnificent.

"Great love story, hot sex scenes. Not to be missed!"

Esmeralda desperately needed the Life-Bringer, purported to be a magnificent emerald, to cure her sister of a lingering illness. For this, she travelled to seek Orin, the Emerald Immortal, said to be the keeper of the gem. She was willing to pay any price he asked for the chance to make her sister well again.

The story is very simple and I could almost predict the way the events would turn out. Well, from the moment Orin made his demands known, that is. This being an erotic romance, it was a no-brainer to guess what would ensue. However, I was pleasantly shocked at the twist toward the end. Did I mention that I love twists in my books?

Oh, did I also mention that it was hot? Scorching! Not only that, but I can empathize with Orin at the final scene wherein he agonizes about Esmeralda's return. Being lonely for so long (and I mean long, like a thousand years or more) and having Esmeralda for such a short time yet realizing just what she meant to him, his agony and tormented hope at this crucial stage in this life is in line with his character and experiences thus far.

Great love story, hot sex scenes. I love that there's a sequel (Pleasure Trap, which is now available), and I hope Ms. Blake will continue to write about this world. Looking forward to more Gem Immortal stories.

Perhaps Love can also be found in the Erotic Emerald anthology (print).

REVIEW: Playing For Real by Madison Blake

"Scorching hot, unbelievable sexual tension!"

Shelli Madison enjoyed her deep and close friendships with Adrian Greene and Ethan Hunter, and she couldn't be happier when the two men fell in love with each other. However, one night at her company's dinner opened her eyes and heart to new feelings about her best friends. But Shelli was torn by her lust for them, as she didn't want to lose their friendships. Until the night the men forced her hand and engaged her in a delicious game that Shelli couldn't, and had no wish to, resist.

Ms Madison keeps me in tenterhooks all throughout the book! She creates these believable characters and places them in angst-and-sexual-tension filled situations that has me with my eyes glued to my laptop as I scrolled down to read as fast as I could (after I ran to the freezer for some ice cubes, of course). Adrian and Ethan are amazingly hot and hunky, and the way they try to seduce Shelli... Whew! I wish I were in her shoes. Ms Madison also imaginatively creates an erotic version of the game Chutes and Ladders (or Snakes and Ladders) and I know I'll never look at that game the same way ever again.

If there's a sequel, I'm getting it. In fact, I'm looking forward to reading Ms. Madison's other books.
