Passion After Dark by J. A. Melville Tour: Character Interview & Giveaway



Title: Passion After Dark
Author: J.A Melville
Genre: Erotica/Paranormal Romance.
Publication Date: November 30, 2013





WARNING: THIS BOOK IS NOT SUITED FOR ANYONE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE. IT CONTAINS FREQUENT SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT.


When Dominick Cavallo first saw Allegra Anderson, he knew instantly that she was the one for him. Unfortunately Allegra Anderson, best selling author of erotica and self confessed clutz, didn't know he even existed. That is about to change.

The night Allegra's house mate Cassie insists she come out clubbing with her is the night that fate intervenes.

From the moment Allegra sees Dominick, she's spellbound by his stunning good looks. His black hair, mesmerising blue eyes and the way he speaks to her has her captivated by him.

The night they meet Dominick disappears and Allegra thinks she will never see him again, but a week later he appears to her when she least expects it and she learns something about him that could change the way she feels about him forever. He is not human, he is vampire.

Dominick is different to the other vampires. He has no desire to live their lifestyle but they are a part of his life and they are not the kind that Allegra wishes to associate with but with the stunningly handsome, but terrifying Fabian as Dominick's sire and him also wanting Allegra for himself, can their relationship survive?

Will they end up driving them apart? Will Allegra be able to come to terms with what Dominick is and when something unexpected happens, that will change who she is forever, can their love survive?

With Allegra's discovery of her newly acquired 'abilities', will she survive those who are threatened by what she has become?

Dominick simply wants the woman he loves by his side for eternity but they have so much against them and with his sire determined to claim Allegra for himself, will it be enough to destroy their relationship?

This is book one of the Passion Series.

Book 2, Fabian's story is coming soon




From my teenage years, all I wanted to do was become a writer one day. Even now as an adult woman with a partner and three children who are not so little anymore, I've always lived with my head in the clouds, a dreamer, often amusing myself with my own imagination.

It might have taken me awhile to finally live my dream, but I did it, my first effort to try and join the many talented writers out there who have kept me entertained with their wonderful stories over the years.

I live in a sleepy country town in Tasmania, Australia with my partner and three children plus our 6 cats, dog, sheep and cattle.

I've had to overcome many emotional obstacles along the way to get to this point and attempting to self publish a book does tend to make a person feel like they've thrown themselves in at the deep end of the pool some what, but here's hoping some of you actually like what I write and save me from drowning in the deep end of the pool as I probably forgot to mention, I can't swim.








Character Interview:


I would like to welcome Allegra and Dominick from J. A. Melville's Passion After Dark who stopped by today for an interview.


What is your name? Do you have a nickname? 

A: My name is Allegra Anderson. I get Allie, that's about it.

D: Dominick. No real nickname, just Nick, Nicky, Nicky Boy.

What is your hair color? Eye color? 

A: I am a brunette and my hair is very long. Right down to the tops of my thighs. My best friend says I should cut it but I just can't. I have hazel eyes.

D: My hair is black and my eyes a really bright blue.

Where were you born? Where have you lived since then? Where do currently call home? 

A: I have lived in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia all my life. I live in the family home that I grew up in.

D: I was born in Italy but currently live in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.

What is in your refrigerator right now? On your bedroom floor? On your nightstand? In your garbage can?  

A: Well, I tend to let food go past its use by date so more than likely there's something rotting away in there. There's not much on my bedroom floor except for shoes. I'm the tidy one, it's my house mate who is untidy. I have a clock and light on my night stand and my garbage bin is usually full of food that rotted in the fridge and is now rotting in the garbage bin.

D: I carry nothing but a few drinks in my fridge for when I have human companions but since I’m vampire, I have no need for anything but blood personally. There is nothing on my floor, I’m a tidy man. My nightstand has only a light and clock on it and I have little garbage. Being vampire doesn’t really produce much of it.

Who are the people you are closest to? 

A: My parents' died in an accident years ago so I share my home with my best friend Cassandra.

D: My sire Fabian and my brothers and sister by blood ties, Damien, Lucian and Francesca.

What is your biggest fear? 

A: Failing in life.  

D: Not getting the girl I love.

What or who is the greatest love of your life? 

A: Well until I met Dominick, my dog Beau and my cat Salem.

D: Allegra Anderson, the woman I was destined to be with.

Which living person do you most despise? 

A: I never hated anyone that much until I found out what kind of vampire Fabian, Dominick's sire could be. The lengths he is prepared to go. 

D: My own sire has taught me to despise him for what he tried to do.


What is the quality you most like in a man/woman? 

A: Honesty to me is most important no matter whether a man or woman. 

Which words or phrases do you most overuse? 

D: Cara, Italian for precious, an endearment that I have been accused of using too often when I speak of my love Allegra.

Passion After Dark (Passion #1) by J. A. Melville Review

Passion After DarkPassion After Dark by J.A. Melville
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Erotica author, Allegra Anderson, had writer’s block and was on a huge time constraint to finishing the third novel in her series. The last thing she needed to do was go out for the evening with her house mate, Cassie. Little did she know she would meet her inspiration to complete her novel.

The moment vampire, Dominick Cavallo, set eyes on Allegra he knew she is his. Problem is his sire has also set his sight on Allegra.

I enjoyed that the story was told in a two-person point of view. Allegra’s commentaries are pretty entertaining. Dominick’s viewpoints as a vampire are enlightening. J. A. Melville did a good job making you feel like you were reading two different points of view.

The main characters are multi-dimensional. Especially Allegra whom showed a lot of growth through the novel, her confidence gaining as the story went on.

I’m not really sure why, but I found it amusing that Allegra was an erotic book author. I think partially because I know an author wrote about being an author. Additionally, until she met Dominick, she was a bit of a loner and a homebody. She definitely was not writing from experience. That is until she met Dominick.

There are a lot of hot sex scenes in this book, but it also has a good plot. The ending had an unexpected yet believable twist. This is definitely an adult only book for people who enjoy vampire romance.
