CBP--Cara Carnes Blog Tour
Hello and welcome to For Whom The Books Toll! Today is
my stop on Cara's blog tour. I'll be posting an excerpt from
Cara's book, Passion's Claim book 2 of the Pleasure Brigade
Series. The tour runs April 8 through April 29 and there will
be one grand prize winner drawn from all rafflecopter entries for
a $50 gift card for Amazon, Barnes & Noble or ARe, winner's
choice. There will also be copies of Passion's Claim up for
grabs. Good luck everyone.
Brigade, a private BDSM resort, for another naughty weekend
with sexy neighbor Kade Berges. She expects a chance to further
explore her fantasies, but finds herself wanting more when Kade
and his three friends push her boundaries and welcome her into
their world.
Kade Berges hadn't intended to share more than a
few nights of passion with his insatiable New York neighbor,
but thanks to meddling friends, he finds himself unwilling to
accept anything less than Autumn's full submission. Whether
she's ready remains to be seen.
Autumn might've been Kade's to claim from the beginning but
she made a hell of an impression on us all the moment we met
her. I knew she was special from the get go. She'd done the
impossible and gotten all my buddies remembering her after they
returned from New York. I wasn't necessarily on board with the
plan Chase, Lance and Lorenzo concocted to get her here to Texas
and in The Brigade but the moment she pulled up at the security
gate I knew she was where she was meant to be.
~~Master Stryker, Chief of Security for The Brigade
Excerpt:
"Name?"
Autumn bit back the apprehensive questions leaping into her mind. Was she at the right place? She peered forward. Lush, manicured grass and large oaks lined a driveway long enough to be declared a highway in most states.
The guard leaned down. His blue eyes glimmered with amusement. "All I need is a first name, sweetheart."
"Autumn." Heat rose in her cheeks as she realized she'd been
sitting there gawking at the surroundings rather than paying attention. "I think my..." What the hell was Kade? A friend? Definitely not in the boyfriend category. Yet. "I'm meeting someone
here."
"The pretty ones always are." He reached down on his belt and
retrieved a metallic bracelet, which he placed in a handheld computer device. "Your first time here?"
She nodded. "Where am I?"
He chuckled. "If you don't know, I'm looking forward to watching your reaction." He held out his hand. "Your wrist, ma'am."
Autumn obliged. Warm fingers ran across her skin. "No need to
be frightened. No one here bites newbies." He winked and lowered his voice to a sensual whisper. A soft click secured the device to
her wrist. "You'll wear this for the duration of your time here. It
has a tracker, as well as a microchip for us to keep track of your...
needs."
A shiver ran down her spine and resonated between her clutched thighs. "Thank you."
"My pleasure, sweetheart." His finger ran across her cheek.
"Where did Kade find a beautiful morsel like you?"
"How did you know it was him I was meeting?"
He tapped the computer device as he placed it back on his belt. A prominent bulge drew her attention. She swallowed.
She looked away when he chuckled. His fingers ran to her chin
and maneuvered her face until his gaze captured hers. "Eyes are the
windows to the soul, sweetheart. Don't deny me what small glimpse I may have."
She nodded. A wicked grin softened the harsh contours of his
jawline. "You going to answer my question, sweetheart?"
There'd been a question. Oh yeah, where they'd met. "New
York City. He's my neighbor."
"I was afraid you were going to say that. I was supposed to go
on that trip with Lance." His fingers ran down her cheek. "Such
a shame I missed...meeting you."
Oh. My. God. He exuded a dark, dangerous aura. He crouched
to eye level, but the movement was controlled, like a caged panther, sleek, hungry, and on the prowl for a new morsel to nibble. Moisture pooled between her legs as she imagined Lance with him
pinning her down and spreading her legs wide to accommodate them. Or him and Kade. Her nipples hardened and she shifted in
her seat.
"Such a shame indeed." He kissed the back of her hand before
standing. "I'm Stryker. This red button pages me. Don't ever be
afraid to use it. I'll be happy to see to any of your wishes." He
winked and motioned the driver to proceed. "Welcome to The
Brigade."

Title: Dragon's Claim Genre: Paranormal Erotic Romance
Flame Rating: Scorching
Released: April 5, 2013
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Blurb:
Book three in the Unveiled Seduction Series,
Talathion Frostbane was tasked with saving his people and took
on the responsibility unflinchingly. Yet all it takes to throw his
entire existence into chaos is one encounter with the wyvern-
shifter he spurned two hundred years before. The passion between
them is as strong as ever, but there's no escaping the expectations
of the clan. And giving in to the all-consuming desire for the
dragonkin would have devastating consequences.
When Herve Cinq a Sept travels to the Fey city of Leaich,
searching for answers after someone tries to kill him, what he finds
rocks his world in a variety of ways and leads him down a path of
inescapable hunger. As he finds himself on his knees, lost in desperate need and heading for heartbreak, he realizes why as a
species, the dragonkin no longer believe in love. It's so easy to
lose everything--pride, independence, control--when the one you
want to claim can never be yours.
Excerpt:
Pulling away, he stumbled aside to lean against the wall, unable to find his footing, either physically or emotionally.
"You okay?" Herve was there, gripping his biceps, holding him up.
"Tala, are you okay?"
"Yes." By the Godess, it was the only word he could get past the
constriction in his throat, the renewed desire overtaking him. Even to his ears his voice sounded strange, deep and strong, echoing in the enclosure. "Yes."
The concern in Herve's eyes deepened. "Let's get out of here."
"No." Reaching out, he wrapped one arm around the wyvern's neck, the other around his waist so as to pull him near. "Oh no, no."
This need couldn't wait, couldn't be denied. Everything in him--
his spirit, magic, body--strained to have the wyvern as close as possible, wanting to feel his domination, be consumed by his passion. Planting his hands on the glass so they bracketed Tala's shoulders, Herve tried to keep their bodies apart, but the great frame was shivering, the harsh rush of his breath betraying his desire.
Without thought Tala loosed his magic once more, felt it wrap around Herve in an unbreakable grip.
"Closer." He tugged with hands and elven power, refusing to be denied.
"No, Tala." It was a growl, but even as it left his lips there was the
first hot brush of skin on skin.
"I need you." Goddess, how he needed, yearning beyond anything he'd known before clawing for release. "Closer."
Their mouths met, Tala opening for the hard thrust of the dragonkin's tongue, moaning at the scrape of teeth against his lip. But still Herve held his body away and Tala tightened his hold in response. He wanted to tell Herve it would be okay, that he needed his strength and force now, more than he ever had before. Needed to test his newfound freedom by surrendering it to the man he loved. But he couldn't break the kiss, didn't want to lose even a scintilla of the contact.

Fighting for independence goes beyond an infant nation, but love

Captain Caleb Haslet has come home to Portsmith, Rhode Island after two years at sea chasing pirates and keeping British ships from
the fledgling American nation. He wants nothing more than to
settle into domestic life and finally claim the new bride duty had

to take advantage of his wife's stint behind bars to make her see
the truth--he's in love with her.
Book video
Excerpt:
"Is it the marriage you resent or my handling of the affair?" He
stroked his hand over her bare buttock, back and forth, his touch
so gentle she might have missed it if she hadn't been so terribly
aware of him. "Or perhaps it's merely me you can't stand."
Yesterday had he asked her that, she would have had no
qualms answering all three questions, but now how could he be
part of the problem when he created a magic unlike any other
she'd ever known? When he stilled his hand on her backside,
she whimpered.
"Answer the question please." Though he kept his voice conversational and at a whisper, there was no mistaking the note
of command.
"Your handling." She licked her dry lips. "I am not chattel, Captain.
I'm a woman who demands your attention the same as any man
under your command, but since I am a woman, my wants and needs
will always fall by the wayside when a man is in the mix." Would
he despise her free speaking, regret that he'd offered for her in
the first place?
"I'm beginning to see I made a mistake."
"In choosing me?" She hated that her voice sounded small and out
of place in the darkness.
"No, in not asking for you sooner. I should have planned better so we had more time before I departed. He glided his hand along her
side to fondle her nipples once more. "I don't want our union to
be a farce, but you must promise me to curtail deporting yourself
in a manner that shows both of us in an unfair light."
The wonderful tension he created in her body faded under the
safe wave of annoyance. She pulled his hand away from her person.
"You cannot expect me to follow your orders as if I'm one of your crew. A marriage is more than that."
"Actually, it isn't. A marriage and being part of a sailing crew are
very much the same. They all come down to one thing--trust.
Caleb escaped her grasp. He inched his hand down the from of her
body. "Just as I demand trust from my crew, I ask it of you as well."
The moment his fingers danced over her feminine curls, Abigail gasped. No one had ever touched her there, but the man who was
her husband dared to go even farther. With a gentleness that belied
the man she assumed he was, he nudged her thighs apart. She let
him. Dear heavens, how could she deny him? The curiosity became
too much.
He slid a finger along her folds.
"Oh my." I had no idea a man's fingers on me like that could feel.... There were simply no words for the way sensation surrounded her in a cocoon of wonderment.
"I want you to trust me, Abigail." His voice reverberated in her ear
and her chest. Strain rasped in his words as he left off his torment and rested his hand on her stomach. The hard bulge of his arousal pressed insistently against the small of her back. Obviously, that
tiny moment had affected him as well. "You and I are bound in the
eyes of the law, but I want more than a cold decree. I want to share
with you the joy that can happen between a man and a woman."

Title: Midnight's Jewel
Genre: Paranormal Erotic Romance
Flame rating: scorching
Released: 1/15/2013
Publisher: Siren Bookstrand
Word count: 48K
Blurb:
Sabrina Rivers, an orphaned half
witch and magical misfit, has been hidden from the world for almost a
century by her Aunt Eleanor. Her only possession is a mysterious dark
crystalline pendant she can’t remove. She knows nothing about its
powers or purpose.
When mercenaries attempt to steal
the pendant in broad daylight, Eleanor has no choice but to entrust
Sabrina’s safety to vampire Brandon Thorpe, kingpin of Atlanta’s
supernatural underworld. While Eleanor hunts the would-be assassins,
Sabrina learns what it means to finally be free to live and to love,
but freedom has a cost. Her sheltered life left her with a heavy
burden and no way to protect herself.
Is
Brandon’s love real or a ploy to get Midnight’s Jewel? Will what
she doesn’t know about her past get both of them killed? Can he
protect her from her enemies and his? What price will she have to pay
for love?
Excerpt:
He finished removing the soap lather and stepped close to her, placing his hands on the wall on either side of her head. He leaned in and kissed her. He whispered against her lips. “I would say you were lucky to have someone who cared, I would say you were very eager, and I would say I want you right now.” He kissed her again. This time she returned the kiss.
The molten pool of
fire in her chest spread throughout her body. Her heart sent it
coursing through her. She could feel her clit swell with the newfound
pleasure. Her nipples tightened into pink pebbles. A gush of hot
juice filled her pussy and spilled down her legs. She wanted to take
his cock deep into the very core of her being, to melt their souls
into one.
He pressed her body
into the wall with his. She could feel his dick getting hard. It lay
stiff against her stomach. Their height difference was going to be a
problem like this.
He moved his hand
down to her waiting slit. Inserting two fingers, he carefully slid
them in and out while kissing the side of her neck. Nothing hurt this
time. She relaxed, spread her legs enough to give him better access,
and enjoyed it. His fingers were slippery with her fluids. They
glided along her tunnel with ease. He knew just where to apply
pressure. Placing his thumb on her swollen pearl,
he worked both her pussy and clit simultaneously. He stooped over
enough to lick and suck a nipple.
Sabrina had to brace
herself on the wall with outstretched arms. He was going to make her
come and there was nothing to hold her up. She was sure her knees
would not keep her standing like this. Her body was going to burst
with tension unless he fingered her off, but she was going to
collapse if he did. Her cunt quivered and pulsed with a rhythm to
match his. The orgasm that followed tore through her whole body. For
a moment, she was locked in place, unable to move. The first
aftershock hit and down she went. He caught her and eased her to the
shower floor.
“Can
you stay on your hands and knees?” Brandon asked.
She tried twice to
speak but found the words were not there. So, she nodded in reply. He
guided her into position. The hard aftershocks subsided into tiny
ripples of pleasure. Her pussy was still quaking when he plunged into
her from behind. It took her breath.
The tip of his cock
reached her limits. Holding her hips, he rocked her back into him,
applying a little more pressure. She could feel his long shaft
stretching her. There was no tearing, no pinching pain. She was
ready.
“Yes,
please, Brandon! Please, don’t stop,” she breathlessly pleaded.
