Excerpt from all 5 books:
Ribbon of Darkness:
Draven
turned her around in his arms. “I’d suggest you watch
yourself
if you wish to keep your clothes while we walk the next
few
miles to the Pole. I have absolutely no qualms about taking
you
right here, snow and all.” Draven leaned in close to her face.
His
lips hovered over hers, causing Ribbon to bite her lip just so
she
didn’t close the small distance between them. “Trust me, Donella,
when
I tell you the cold will be the last thing on your pretty
little mind.” His eyes slid half-closed.
Tempting Clover:
"You're already wet. I could claim you. Didn't you say
you wanted to have an orgasm, that it was torture?" Malik's words came out
low and sinister. Clover suddenly regretted ever wanting an orgasm, or at least
telling him so.
She held her breath. Oh
God. He's going to take me.
Clover fought harder and he let her break away. His laughter filled the air
between them. Her chest heaved with fear, her breath coming in hard gasps.
"However, it wouldn't satisfy me little morsel. You
could never please me properly." He walked past her laughing as he went to
his lab to make more human potions.
Steele Your Soul:
He
coaxed her lips apart for the briefest of moments before her hand came up and
landed a stinging blow to his cheek. Amused, Joren laughed, a full belly laugh.
The kind of thing he hadn't done in ages. The lass was a feisty one; he'd give
her credit. And oh so pretty when angered. Her cheeks had flushed a dark shade
of pink, and her brown eyes darted all over the ship, anywhere but on his. He
rubbed his cheek. She had a solid swing. He licked his lips to savor the sweet
taste of her mouth.
"How
dare you!"
"How dare I? Oh, elfess, I dare
all the damn time. I'm a pirate." He wanted to scoop her up and haul her off
to his bed. But he wasn't the kind of elf who took advantage in such a way—no,
she'd come to him instead. He might even play hard to get. But she would come.
A Hint of Cayenne:
Hawthorn
stood before her. Dark hooded eyes, broad shoulders filling up the space, and
every bit the male she had seen a few hours ago. A jar of honey in his hand.
"What
are you...how could––"
"I
find you?" His voice rolled out calm and deep, slipping over her and
moistening her panties.
"Yes.
Find me." She swallowed. She looked at the jar of honey and back to him.
His gaze bore into hers, and she averted her eyes opening the door. "Come
in."
He
walked over the threshold, his boots thumping softly on the floor. "I have
a knack for finding the things I'm after." He grinned.
Cocky
bastard. She shut the door and crossed her arms. "And what are you doing
here?" Inside, butterflies tossed in her stomach. She wanted him to say
he'd come for her but, at the same time, was terrified at the thought of
hearing him say it. Her mind jumped from one side to the other. Her hands
fisted shirt where he couldn't see.
"I
told you I'd find you." He took one long stride toward her. "We left
things a little..." He took another step, and she backed up until she hit
the wall. "Steamy." His voice dropped so low she barely heard the
last word. Her heart hammered at her ribcage.
"What...ah."
She cleared her throat. "What do you want?"
Thorn
put his free hand on the wall beside her, and she melted into him. How had he
gotten so elfing good at teasing her? "I want you of course," he
said, his lips barely above hers.
A Whisper of Rue:
"Rue, you can call me every name in your pretty little
head but it won't change anything. Afraid you're stuck with me, and your
decisions will affect everything. But you're stubborn and you won't see things
my way instantly. You'll need proof. I understand. But don't say I didn't warn
you," he stated.
Proof of what? He was playing games with her and she wasn't
in the elfing mood. He had no right to come in her home. No right to make
demands on her. No right to invade every inch of her privacy. She wanted the
earpiece out. Why'd she have to get all curious and put the stupid thing in to
begin with? Her mother always said her curiosity would lead her to trouble one
day and Rue had the dreadful sense that today was that day. "I don't know
why you chose me to do whatever it is you need. Probably something horrible.
But quit fucking around and remove the spell."
"You want it removed?"
"Yes." She hissed the word. Her anger bubbled
inside threatening to tear her apart, mainly because she couldn't see the man
attempting to control her.
"Then
come and find me."
About
the Author:
An elfess in human form, Decadent
enjoys dipping her fingers into the human realm where she took pen to paper and
began the tales of the trouble with elves. Her obsessions include reading, Dean
Winchester, and honey.
She will devour your soul with
glimpses of the feral ridden drow elves, with their dark skin and soul
consuming. She'll sneak morsels of naughty thoughts to you via goblins, and
seduce you into stepping inside the elven realm where females disappear when
lust takes over among other elfish troubles.
Beware
the sprites.
Follow
the wisps.
But
never look a drow elf king in the eyes...
Interview:
Please welcome Trouble with Elves Series author Decadent Kane to Diane's Book Blog.If you were stranded on a desert island which of your characters do you want by your side?
I would choose Clover- I know my Joren fans are like 'how can that be?' specially since Joren can sail a ship, but Clover is resourceful, fun, clever, and I'm pretty sure we would find some very entertaining conversations.
If you could be best friends with one of your characters, who would it be?
A character to be my best friend, Rue from novella # 5 in the set. Because she is smart mouthed and strong in character. I feel like I connect with her on more than author character levels.
What is your typical day like?
My typical day, I have a 7am alarm, marketing in the morning as well as getting kidlets up and cuddling with all three of my dogs. Often I forget to eat breakfast or lunch while I work away at my computer because I'm also an editor under my real name with two separate companies. After dinner I watch a little TV with my kids or my guy and then I make jewelry, finally ending my evening with writing time.
How do you overcome writer’s block?
Can you share a little of your current work with us?
I'm currently writing out a new novel, about demons instead of elves...oh now now...I love my elves and intend to write more, but my writerly heart holds all sorts of creatures all vying for the spotlight.
Here is an unedited snippet of my recent work:
"Do not run, Haven Rowe. Just as you can summon me directly with my name, I can find you at any time with yours. Don't try to slip away when there is no hope of it. I will be sorely disappointed if I have to drag you back to me."
The demon's words sunk into her, heavy on her heart. There would be no hope, no salvation. The second Heath was set free, she would be trapped. Before she allowed herself to get too worked up she encouraged the hardened enamel of anger to encase her emotions. Heath would be doing a whole lot to pay her back this time and if she ever saw him with any kind of magic again, she'd find a way to make him pay for it. She couldn't keep doing this to herself, or him.
Desiderus regained her attention when his warm hand touched her check. "I won't run, demon. But be assured this will not be easy on you...I will be sure of it."
"Of that, my little human, I have no doubts." His form wavered and in circle of smoke, Desiderus vanished.
What do you prefer paperback, hardcover, or ebooks?
This is a hard question because I like all three for different reasons. I normally read paperbacks, they are easier to maneuver. But e-books I can fit more while traveling, or if I plan to read many short pieces all in one sitting. Hardbound- while I really like these as an idea, they hard to take to bed and read because they don't bend well. LOL and they don't have small capacity for traveling and such. But hardbound also looks mighty pretty on a shelf.
