BHSV–Paranormal Haven’s Guest Post + Signed Larissa Ione Book Giveaway!

Why we think you should check out Larissa Ione's books
by Athenna & Stephanie {Paranormal Haven}
Stephanie: Hmm, lets start with her characters.  They're fantastic.  You probably need more than that right?  Ok, I love the variety of characters she creates.  Whether you like them with fangs or fur, running a demon hospital or part of an elite, highly secretive branch of the government, Larissa has you covered.
Athenna: Yes she has very addicting characters. You feel like you can't get enough of them. I agree there is a little for every one in these characters and it's easy to find one that you fall head over heels for  (or heels over head, what ever works). Hee Hee.  
Stephanie: Addicting indeed.  My addiction is in the form on one deliciously blond half vampire, half demon who is well versed in sarcasm...
Athenna:  Oh really, since when? You better direct you're dirty thoughts to a different lick-able demon.
Stephanie:  I would but Wraith is like a deep fried Twinkies.  You know it's bad for you but you just can't stay away.  A deep friend Twinkies covered in chocolate sauce and powdered sugar and........wait, what were we suppose to be talking about?
Athenna:  Wow, I think those are fighting words!  And only you would compare his hotness to food. If you take Wraith then I'll take Con! And have Wraith on the side with a little Shade to make my week interesting.
Stephanie:  Why you greedy little bit.... ok, lets move on before things get ugly and I start getting hungry again.
Along side some of our favorite heroes are some equally interesting heroines.  There will be no swooning for them my friends.  From the demon hunting Tayla to Cara, the mortal who can bring a horseman to his knees and make a hell hound seem as cuddly as a retriever, Larissa creates heroines worthy of admiration.  Also a bit frightening.  If Sin is able to make grown demons shake in their boots, no way would I want to get on her bad side.  Plus her name is Sin.  Being a badass automatically comes with the name.
Athenna:  Yes, I can't wait to see what Limos has in store for us in the next installment in the Lords of Deliverance series. I'm sure she will be equally kick ass as Sin if not more. Also I have it on good authority from Larissa her self that there will be even more sexy steamy scenes than the first installment. I can't wait!
Stephanie: Ooooh the sex.  There should be a warning on her books about it.  Warning:  Do not read in front of people if you blush easily.  You will be caught!   Sex in a supply closet, on a train, in a cave, in the snow, hanging from a tree (not making that one up).  Larissa has one delightfully dirty mind and I'm so happy she decided to share it with everyone  :-)
Do you know why I enjoy all the smuttiness?  Because there's an actual story to go along with it.  It doesn't matter hot and sweaty and dirty and.......ok losing focus here.  If a story is just about sex, I'll pass.  There is plenty of sex to satisfy anyone's smutty sweat tooth while having a story with actual depth to go with it.
Athenna: Yes, I whole heartily agree.  I really don't have anything to add you pretty much covered it all.  Sexy, sweaty demons, how can you go wrong?
Stephanie:  You can't, it's a perfect combo.  If you haven't had a chance to pick up one of Larissa's books we both highly recommend her Demonica, Lords of Deliverance and ACRO (writes with Stephanie Tyler under the name Syndey Croft).  One last thing.....DIBS on Wraith!  Now all I need are those deep fried Twinkies and some chocolate sauce.....

    2. Linda says:

      I'm just getting into paranormal romance & bought a copy of Sin Undone. Eagerly waiting for the bk to arrive. Sure would love to win this giveaway! *fingers crossed*

    3. Raonaid Luckwell says:

      How can anyone not love Ione's books? I've been trying to get one friend to read them, knowing that she would LOVE these books.

      Ione's also a wonderful woman!

    4. Robin says:

    10. JenM says:

      No, no, no, you've got it all wrong. I'VE got dibs on Wraith and you will just have to keep your mits off him. I love all of the Demonica heros, but Wraith (with E running a close second) is definitely my favorite.

    11. Birgit says:

      I've heard so much about the series, so thanks for this awesome chance!

    12. IreneRJ says:

      The Demonica series is one of the best out there! rivaled only by the four horsemen Rider series :)Loved the write up but have to seriously disagree with you, Eidolon is outstandingly the best!

    13. Dovile says:

      Thanks for the chance!

    14. Yay for books with steamy sex and hot covers :)

    15. Gabbie says:

      LOL Wraith's like a deep fried twinkies!

    16. Ha ha! Great post! I especially liked this part: "I would but Wraith is like a deep fried Twinkies. You know it's bad for you but you just can't stay away. A deep friend Twinkies covered in chocolate sauce and powdered sugar and........wait, what were we suppose to be talking about?" hahaha!

      Thanks for stopping by :)
