"We can go as slowly as you want; take our time and get to know each other first, as friends. What do you think, Tyler?" His cobalt eyes searched her face. "Friends with benefits?" His sexy smirk was accompanied by a playful wink. Shaking her head vehemently, Robbi sighed. "No, Tyler. I won't do that; no one-night stands either."

He whispered softly. "I know, Robbi. I don't want that with you, either. Okay, we'll take it slow, but what if I request one benefit, just a tiny one?" His sapphire eyes were sparkling as his thumb caressed her glistening, pink bottom lip. "If I don't have access to your beautiful mouth, if I can't kiss you - I. Will. Not. Survive."

Seduced by Lies by Karpov Kinrade

Kindle Edition, 196 pages

Published July 26th, 2013 by Daring Books Publishing

Blurb:

Rose and Derek have settled into married life and are enjoying their new jobs living with and teaching paranormal kids at the mansion with Father Patrick and their new friends.

Everything seems idyllic, until paranormal teens start showing up dead in the local news, killed by what looks like a wolf attack.

As Rose, Derek and their friends seek out the truth of these mysterious killings, a Bishop sent by the Pope arrives to undo everything they've worked so hard to build.

Goodreads ~ Amazon

My Review:

I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.

Rose and Derek are back and just as in love with each other as they have ever been if not more. Their love for one another has grown so much that they can’t stand to be apart. If they could they would be together all the time. But of course that is not possible with the new school that they are running with the help of some of my favorite characters from the Forbidden Trilogy, Drake and Sam. Rose, Derek, Drake and Sam are all teaching kids that have paranormal powers. They are teaching them how to control them and how to use them.

This new school of theirs is a lot different than the one that Sam lived and grew up in. All of the kids at this school are all there because they want to be. They are not against their will like Sam and her friends Lucy and Luke. The new school would not be possible without the help of Father Patrick the priest who owns the propriety the school is on.  Drake and Sam have a beautiful little girl Ana whom they both love very much.

Everybody is so happy with their lives and the school until they find out that someone is killing kids with special powers. They all work so hard in trying to find out who is killing the kids with paranormal powers. They find evidence that shows that it is a wolf that is attacking the kids and killing them or that is what it looks like but what they are seeing may not be exactly what they think it is. But never fear the church is sending in help. They send a pope to help them investigate and find the killer.

I have read a lot of books written by this husband and wife duo and not a one of them has disappointed me. I have loved each and every one of them. I love all the characters in The Seduced Saga and TheForbidden Trilogy and was so thrilled to see Derek, Rose, Drake and Sam all together in Seduced byLies. I was also glad that the twins Lucy and Luke make an appearance too.

If you love reading paranormal or about people with special powers then I know you will love TheSeduced Saga and TheForbidden Trilogy as well. But I do recommend that you start with the first book in each series so that will you know what is going on and why they have all ended up where they are today and together. The authors do a fantastic job of explaining who the characters are and giving you their background stories from the other books at the beginning. You will get know and understand Derek and Rose better if you read Seducedby Innocence book #1, Seducedby Pain book #2 and Seducedby Power book #3 before reading Seduced by Lies book #4. The same goes for Sam and Drake if you read their stories in Forbidden Mind book #1, Forbidden Fire book #2 and ForbiddenLife book #3.

Release Day: Heart of Steel by Elizabeth Einspanier @GeekGirlWriter @GoddessFish #Giveaway

Congratulations to Elizabeth Einspanier on the release today of HEART OF STEEL, a Science Fiction Romance. Elizabeth is giving away a $20 gift certificate to Steampunk Emporium. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

When reclusive cyborg Alistair Mechanus meets his captive, ER doctor Julia Parker, it is love at first sight--for him. While he eagerly drops his plans for World Conquest to woo her, ten years of solitude have left his social skills badly rusted. When his misguided act of kindness spirals out of control, however, Julia is forced to trust the mad genius with her life, and she discovers the vulnerable side under his armored plating. She has the skills he needs to unlock his forgotten past, but learning who he used to be may come at the cost of his remaining sanity.

Enjoy an excerpt:

Julia stopped in the doorway, pulling her hand out of Mechanus'. He turned to see what the matter was, and saw that she was looking past him, openmouthed, at the collection of plants on display. Mechanus followed her gaze in momentary confusion; he'd seen the flowers a thousand times before, and could easily look up the scientific name of every single specimen here and in the other two dozen greenhouses he had. He had detailed files about each specimen, after all.

It occurred to him that he ought to say something.

"This is..." he began. No. Not quite right. He cleared his throat. "Welcome to Greenhouse Fourteen." There. Much better.

"I'm just... surprised you have something like this here," Julia said. "I mean, everything else has been so..." She fell silent.

"So...?" Mechanus prompted.

"Industrialized."

"Well, food has to come from somewhere," he pointed out. You can only do so much by replicating proteins and complex sugars, and my chimeras don't seem to like the nutrient slurries at all. I grow fruits and vegetables in greenhouses like this one, as well as grains and medicinal plants that I've gathered from all over the world." He took her hand and led her on into the greenhouse. "For example, did you know that there are over 200 species of plant that have the potential to cure cancer?"

"I was talking about the flowers, but cancer cures are impressive, too."

Idiot. Of course the flowers. Women liked flowers. "If you enjoy them," he said, recovering with what he deemed sufficient grace, "I could give you one of my greenhouses. They're self-maintaining, each with their own crew of maintenance drones who will ensure that they will remain healthy and green for the foreseeable future."
