The Beast continues
By Dawn Montgomery | June 5, 2009
A couple months ago I released a free read entitled The Beast through Changeling Press’s free online ezine. The results were nothing short of amazing…Emails from all over asking for more of the story. So I’m continuing it for an end of summer free read release. I hope you enjoy a further snippet of The Beast.
*WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS UNEDITED AND MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR THOSE UNDER THE AGE OF 18*
“Your arrival marked the coming of the storm. No living soul outside the beast has ever stepped foot on these premises during his turning. They will wonder if it was you who brought the hard winter.”
Rose tried to ignore the whisper of truth in its words. Yes. They would blame her, but that was nothing new. What worried her was whether they would blame the beast.
She wanted to go to him. Needed his touch. She clenched the banister. Two nights of torture, of waiting. She wanted him, all of him.
“It is an unholy obsession.” The wraith grew closer. It’s chilled fingers scraped along her spine leaving ice in their wake.
Was it speaking of her obsession or its own? Terror ran along her nerves. She knew it was the wraith. He needed to feed in order to grow stronger.
“Rose.” The Beast’s throaty voice banished the fear from her mind. Warmth and lust coiled in her stomach.
“Sir.” She dipped her head but couldn’t tear her eyes away from his descent.
Dark black hair was pulled back in a tight tail. Loose tendrils touched his cheeks where not even a five o’clock shadow remained. His jaw was firm and full sensual lips begged for her kisses. She had it bad. He watched her with an unreadable expression. Would he dismiss her? Her stomach twisted. She’d disobeyed him. Would he send her away?
He stopped within a breath’s reach and reached out to curl one strand of her hair around his finger. “Are you still so brave, my sweet Rose? Will you truly give your body to the devil himself?”
“You’re no devil.” She meant it despite the tremble in her voice.
His thumb brushed her lip and she let a soft sigh escape her mouth. “That remains to be seen.” He dipped his head and she met his lips for the softest kiss she’d ever imagined. His tongue teased and tormented hers until a moan slid from her throat.

Space Influence
By Dawn Montgomery | June 2, 2009
Most of you know I’m a multiple wip writer (I have several works in progress going on at the same time) so I need set up soundtracks to get me in the right mood for whatever I’m writing. This time it was a video that captured my imagination. Lynn Viehl gave an awesome head’s up on a cool new video by Linkin Park, and let me tell you, this is DEFINITELY inspiration for my new Sci Fi Romance.

Facts about Chocolate
By Dawn Montgomery | June 1, 2009
Today’s brain fluff comes to us courtesy of that delectable food group *WEG* chocolate.
Since I’m currently working on a title for the Changeling series, Sex and Chocolate, I’ve had this decadence on my mind.
So, without any further ado, here are a few facts you may or may not have known about chocolate:
White chocolate is not a chocolate at all. It is actually made of confectioner’s sugar, cocoa butter, and milk solids. While it does come from the cacao bean (via cocoa butter), it doesn’t contain cacao solids so is not recognized by the FDA as an actual “chocolate.” As a matter of fact, a majority of the ivory white chocolate you can purchase today on your grocer’s shelves do not contain cocoa butter at all.
You can tell the difference between true white “chocolate” and the imitation in two ways. True white chocolate is ivory in color and consistency and has that cocoa butter taste. The imitation has vegetable extracts and animal fat (look at the ingredients!) and is almost tasteless in comparison.
Cacao beans were used as currency for the Mayans and Aztecs. It was also considered an aphrodisiac and only the richest of their people could afford to drink the bitter chocolate brews they concocted.
In 1960, Hershey’s chocolate syrup was what Alfred Hitchcock used as blood in the now infamous shower scene in the movie, Psycho.
Chocolate can be lethal to dogs. Theobromine, an ingredient that stimulates the cardiac muscle and the central nervous system, causes chocolate’s toxicity. About two ounces of milk chocolate can be poisonous for a 10-lb puppy. Dark chocolate takes even less. Keep that in mind around small kids who like to “share” their goodies.
For many years it was thought that chocolate was bad for your health. It has been proven, however, that dark chocolate can actually benefit the body. This dark decadence has the highest antioxidant content of any other food. Good to know. 
Dark Chocolate is also a mild stimulant (to help a bit with concentration). This effect is actually increased in horses, so it is forbidden in horse racing.
I hope you enjoyed this week’s edition of Brain Fluff! And now back to my Dove dark chocolate and Reese’s PB minatures.

New Release: Flesh and Shadows
By Kim Knox/Rees | May 26, 2009
Flesh-fruit—priceless delicacy, forbidden fruit…
Rand has a secret. Bitten by one of the deadly shadow-snakes, he’s changed and will go to any length to see that he remains in charge of his planet—and the flesh-fruit harvest—including using his alien abilities to convince Agent Niamh Sullivan to lie to her superiors. His plan is simple, but what he doesn’t realize is that his venom is an aphrodisiac. With it, Rand has become irresistible.
Now Niamh must deny their overwhelming mutual attraction. But as their need for each other spirals out of control, the danger becomes apparent. Rand will take her humanity, take who and what she is. Niamh has to make the choice. Turn him in. Or succumb to his potent, forbidden temptation.
Here a link to an excerpt
And the buy link is here *grin*
Flesh and Shadows is the first novella I sold to Ellora’s Cave. I *squeed* all over my other half when he was trying to set up the Wii for the hobbits, lol He had no clue why I was so excited *grin*
And the story? Well Rand is just yum, a man driven by honour…and the beast within him. 
You can find my other Ellora’s Cave titles here.

Release today!
By Dawn Montgomery | May 21, 2009
It’s finally here in one kickass collection! Bound in Lust, Bound in Fury and Bound Eternally are in this set. They’re my first books from Changeling. How awesome is that?
Check it out HERE!
One bite by a rogue demon has left Elena in the throes of a dark curse. It will take all Drake’s power to halt the change and save her life. In the depths of their dark lust she becomes something other, a bond mate to a demon of lust. Will it be worth the cost?
In the shadows a deadly adversary begins moving the pieces, creating a trap that will bring Drake and Elena into the darkest reaches of their hearts. Neither expects the depth of hatred from the Brotherhood or the lengths to which they will go to destroy one demon. Drake, it seems, has old enemies and they’re willing to overthrow Hell itself to destroy him.
Publisher’s Note: This collection contains three previous published novellas, Bound in Lust, Bound in Fury, and Bound Eternally.

Sneaky peek time…and it’s naughty.
By Kim Knox/Rees | May 8, 2009
So you have been warned. Over 18s only 
Ruthless Beauty
(c) 2009 Kim Knox
“Rachel…”
Warm breath brushed against her breast. She twisted against the mattress, pushing down the weight of the sheets and blankets. Half-lidded and still groggy from sleep, her eyes focused on the hazy gold of the surrounding light and on the naked dark haired man licking the underside of her breast.
“What the—“
He sucked her nipple into his hot mouth, his teeth grazing the hard nub and it broke her words. Sensation rioted through her flesh. He looked up and his silver-cast eyes glittered. The hot curl of lust tightened in her belly as he tugged at her nipple with strong, white teeth and she couldn’t help the escaping groan. Her stranger grinned, something wicked and her heart thudded. He was beautiful, sculpted perfection and she knew him. He was the stranger from her fantasy.
She sucked in a quick breath. A dream, she was in a dream.
“Want me to fuck you, do you Rachel Sutherland?” His strong hands gripped her hips as he knelt over her, his breath hot over her belly. She ached for him to sink lower, for his mouth, his tongue to find her pussy. “What me to take you?”
“Yes…” The word escaped on a gasp.
His tongue teased over her mons and he held her down as her hips bucked. “My first taste will be kind.” His breath brushed warm over her sensitive skin and his silver eyes fixed on her. They glittered and fire rushed through her blood at the wicked promise shining from him. His words teased her. “A single memory to soften what is to come.”
