"Impulse" with Raven McAllan!


I did a little whine and oh you would like me to come on your blog and talk about Impulse wouldn't you, to Arya. Who looked somewhat startled and said "you don't need to whine, just bring wine." So I did
Cheers…

Impulse, noun—a strong and unreflective urge or desire to act.
That about sums it up. Especially if you add the next description…Not premeditated.
Yes, perfect description.

Impulse is a book of Impulses, not just mine, but also my characters. Mia went to Isola Dei Sogni on an Impulse after her sister begged her to. Dylan only turned up to help. Neither of them expected what happened.

We all act on impulse on occasion. Oh yes you do, don't roll your eyes. Out of character, on a whim, for a dare. Do something so not expected. And then reap the consequences. They may be good, they made be bad, but whatever happens it's all down to… an impulse.

 Blurb:
Mia only went to Isola Dei Sogni as a favor for her sister. Her fantasy was a good book and a bottle of wine. Until she met Dylan. Then her sense disappeared and fantasy took over. Was it all worth it?
Dylan has arrived at Isola Dei Sogni to help out—with reluctance and just as a favor. Then he meets Mia. If she's the person he's supposed to assist, then maybe the visit won't be the waste of time he thought after all. His attitude has changed, and when he hears Mia wants to give him his fantasy? Dylan is never one to disappoint a lady…he hopes.
However, fantasies and dreams are all well and good, but even here, reality creeps in. Can Mia and Dylan overcome that to reach their happily ever after?

EXCERPT:
"Inside." His voice was hoarse. "Touch inside. In the way you'd like me to touch you. Show me, Mia. Show me."
Her body was on fire as she moved her hand. She'd show him, and rejoiced that she'd found a person who desired her so much.
"Like this?" With an insouciance she wouldn't have believed she had, Mia wet her fingers in her mouth and moved them to her pussy. Slowly, she pushed inside herself. The look on his face gave her courage to move them further inside. As she scraped the walls of her channel, her clit tingled and sharp arrows of pleasure honed in on her nipples. Her juices coated her fingers, and without conscious thought, she moved her hand to coat her nipples with her essence. She trembled as she returned it to her heated sheath. Her head fell back and she gave herself to the sensations that bombarded her.
"My turn." Dylan stood up and pushed his chair back. It fell over and hit the floor with a bang. Mia jumped at the unexpected noise and her hand moved out of her channel and dropped onto her lap. He lifted it to his lips.
"Ah, so good, it tastes of you." Goose bumps covered her skin as he put her fingers into his mouth and licked them one by one. "Now I can't wait, my lovely Mia. Are you ready?"

About Raven:
Raven lives in Scotland, along with her husband and their two cats—their children having flown the nest—surrounded by beautiful scenery, which inspires a lot of the settings in her books.
She is used to sharing her life with the occasional deer, red squirrel, and lost tourist, to say nothing of the scourge of Scotland—the midge.
A lover of reading, she appreciates the history inside a book, and the chance to peek into the lives of those from years ago. Raven admits that she enjoys the research for her books almost as much as the writing; so much so, that sometimes she realizes she's strayed way past the information she needs to know, and not a paragraph has been added to her WIP.
Her lovely long-suffering husband is learning to love the dust bunnies, work the Aga, and be on stand-by with a glass of wine.

Trust Your Instincts with Michaela Rhua and The Blood Bar Chronicles!


Hello all! Today I have a very special guest at the Darkside who's here to talk to you about her part in "The Blood Bar Chronicles, Book 3 — The Enforcers". Please give a very warm welcome to Michaela Rhua, and join her near the Supernatural hub in Scotland's beautiful capital, Edinburgh!

Trust Your Instincts.

Hi Arya. Thank you for having me over today.

I was reading through this:
Number 12 – a quote by Ann Vandemeer hit home, 'Trust your instincts. They're usually right'.

As a developing writer stories do not always go where you thought they might. Characters take a different road and twists occur where you least expect them to. It is at those times when you have to trust your instincts and go with the flow. Often the stories work out better and feel more complete.

Logan saw Kyla and knew he was not going to let her get away. He grabbed her and took her to safety. He trusted his instincts, followed through and found his pot of gold. Kyla was his mate and there was no way she was getting away, even if it meant holding her captive.

Before I go I will leave you with the blurb for the Anthology and a little taste.



The Enforcers: The Blood Bar Chronicles, Book 3.
When the Wicked Ladies of Fiction meet up in a Scottish bar they don’t expect a night filled with danger, lust and hot supernatural men…
Logan's Captive by Michaela Rhua.
Blurb.
One visit to The Blood Bar and life will never be the same. Fed up with her life, Kyla looks forward to meeting up with her friends. Only events take an unexpected turn and Kyla is rescued by Logan, who seems determined to keep her captive.
Logan didn't come to Scotland looking for a mate. But the scent of this sexy woman calls to his wolf and he knows he has to claim her. The only problem is she is human or so she thinks.



Excerpt

She opened her eyes, hearing him, but not listening. Her hands reached out on their own accord, and her fingertips brushed his chest, gliding over his nipples and travelling down. Her brain fought the instinct to touch, yet her body ached to touch him.
"Oh God, you're killing me here!" Logan growled.
"Am I?" Kyla spoke through a drunken haze.
He grabbed her wrist before she was able to touch his erection that was so obvious. "Stop; you don't know what's going on," he ground out, shaking her shoulders gently.
"Logan, kiss me, touch me, please," Kyla begged as she rose onto her knees.
Her free hand moved from his chest to his neck, pulling him forward. Eyes focused on his lips, she parted her own as he came so close their breath intermingled. The air around her seemed hot and heavy. She felt his broad hand move around her waist as he brought her to him, chest to chest. She lifted her chin, just as his lips captured her in a kiss that sent all her senses wild. His lips gentle at first, teasing, but as she groaned into him she heard him growl. He increased the pressure, crushing him to her. His other hand fisted her hair so he could lock her to him. Kyla was lost, completely.
