Today on my blog I have The Nightlife Series tour. On my stop there is a spotlight, excerpt, and review.
The Nightlife Series is violent, sexy, and occasionally violently sexy.
Vampires, strippers, escorts, night clubs, pimps & dirty cops – the Nightlife Series is never boring.
Can decadence, corruption and prostitution go hand in hand with self-control? Over-indulgence, illegal activity and vampires lurk in darkness when night falls on the city.
The Nightlife Series explores the sexy, dangerous misadventures of vampires and an interesting assortment of wickedly corrupt men and women of the night. Gangs, pimps, prostitutes, cartel, mafia, drug dealers, addicts, alcoholics, all those wonderfully colorful people you find rubbing elbows in the back alleys, night clubs, and strip joints.
These creatures inhabit a world of constant blood, sex, and arousal. The act of feeding is highly erotic, victims often experience multiple orgasms. A vampire’s bite is the most powerful drug imaginable, ecstasy, euphoria, and an ever-present potential for addiction. Lethally violent predators, they can cut through flesh like a hot knife through butter. They slip through the nightlife quietly, unobtrusively, until cornered. Then it gets ugly, people die.
The Nightlife Series includes:
THE NIGHTLIFE NEW YORK
THE NIGHTLIFE LAS VEGAS
THE NIGHTLIFE PARIS
BLOOD SLAVE
Review:
This is a well written action packed, heart pounding, ride
that kept me glued to my kindle until the very last page. I was so mad when my
kindle died and I had to wait for it to charge so I could keep reading.
I loved the darker side of the relationship between Aaron
and Michelle. But through everything they find themselves in they always manage
to come out the other side so much stronger. They kept me up late into the
night reading just so I could see what they would get into and how they would
get themselves out of it. I defiantly want the next book ASAP! I need more of
Aaron and Michelle and all the craziness that surrounds them. 5/5 Bloody Fangs

Vampires, strippers, escorts, night clubs, pimps and dirty cops – the Nightlife New York is never boring.
Aaron Pilan’s life is forever changed when he’s shot trying to rescue a drop-dead gorgeous woman on the streets of New York. Aaron is thrust into the shocking world of vampiric slavery when Michelle shares her blood to save his life.
Michelle's existence as a solitary vampire is also altered when she accepts this naive young man into her life. Bound by her blood, Aaron is subject to her authority. He walks a tightrope of strictly controlled feeding regiments and intense sexual adventures while catering to the neurotic control-freak tendencies of his new master. She vows to eliminate him if he proves too difficult to control.
This story is bold and evocative, infusing blood, sex, love and turmoil in an urban drama about two vampires battling evil outside and within themselves.

The Nightlife Series is violent, sexy, and occasionally violently sexy.
Vampire master Michelle, and her slave, Aaron Pilan, leave the heartbreak of Vegas for a new start in Paris. Aaron’s mistakes in Vegas make him question everything he knows about Michelle, and the prospect of a long, lonely future with her.
Struggling with his predatory alter ego, Aaron chafes under Michelle's rules. His animalistic desires drive him to take a lover without conditions – a bloodslave – but Michelle refuses.
Michelle is not blind to Aaron’s needs. She answers his demands by opening her heart and soul to him. Their minds intertwine and Aaron relives her dark, gritty tale of survival in the ravages of war-torn Paris under the German occupation. Her disturbing revelations are met with shock, pushing Aaron even further from her. For the first time, Michelle begins to reconsider the way she has lived all these decades.
And they are not alone in Paris. An investigator has shadowed them from Vegas, seeking the unique gifts of Michelle’s blood. He hunts the vampires, attacking them at their most vulnerable time. Michelle and Aaron face death and worse – separation.
Aaron and Michelle’s wicked, pulse-pounding tale drags readers breathless through one cataclysmic event after another.
Excerpt:
“Do you have any flights leaving New York after sunset that
arrive in Paris before sunrise?” Aaron
Pilan stared unblinking at the travel agent, assaulting her with the full bore
of his gaze.
“No sir, not commercial flights. I’m not sure about the charter flights.”
Aaron glanced at the nameplate on her desk and tried a more
personal approach. “Penelope, I need
your help.” He drilled into her mind
with his telepathic probe, digging through her thoughts and emotions. “How long is a flight to Paris?”
“Well … it’s a seven hour flight at minimum, but the time
zones …” He read Penelope’s every
thought with ease. His eyes seemed to
swallow her very soul with the wondrous intensity of his gaze. She fell under his spell in a matter of
seconds. “Um … Paris is six hours ahead
of New York, so it’s really thirteen hours …”
“Help me, Penelope.
Help me find a flight that leaves by 7:30 p.m. and arrives by 7:00 a.m.
in Paris.”
His eyes owned her as he read her mind. She couldn’t imagine disagreeing with
him. She would give him anything – her
heart, her body, her soul – just to know the truth behind his eyes. He read her infatuation as she moistened
between the legs, staring at him like a love-struck teenager.
“Um … one of the Gulfstream charters might be able to do
that.” She thought hard, considering one
company in particular that would fly anyone anywhere, under any circumstances,
for the right price.
“I knew you could help me.”
He took her hand and she wet her underwear in
anticipation. A blush of rosy heat crept
up her face and her little pink tongue darted out to swipe her dry lips. Her desire to be kissed flooded her mind,
washing over him as he sifted through her thoughts. She focused on the gleaming white teeth of
his smile, and he knew she wished he’d drag her into the alcove and have her up
against the wall. Too easy. He could bend her over the kiosk right there.
He read all her fantasies, a series of delightfully wicked
things she hoped for. Uncomfortably hot
and bothered by his brief touch, Penelope’s fingers moved unsteadily over the
keyboard. She tried not to look at him,
but she couldn’t help herself.
She cleared her throat. “Executive Pathways can expedite a
transcontinental flight tomorrow night for $16,000. Oh wow, that’s really expensive, but they’ll
leave whenever you like. Are you sure we
can’t make one of these commercial flights work? I can get you first class at a discount …”
“No thanks. I’ll take
the charter.” His exacting flight
schedule could not be compromised.
She continued trying to dissuade him. “It’s only a couple hours difference
...”
Two hours made all the difference. Vampires don’t do daylight. “I need two tickets.”
“Two? But there’s no
discount for the second ticket …”
He followed her mind as she imagined accompanying him
overseas. A foreign rendezvous, endless
hours of sex in a French hotel suite.
She’d let him do anything he wanted, repeatedly.
Michelle arrived, slipping her arm around him
intimately. Gorgeous, blonde, glamorous,
she could’ve been a model fresh off the runway.
Penelope’s fantasy crashed and burned, the screams of dying dreams
echoing in her ears.
He smiled at her again, and winked. “We’ll take two tickets.”
Penelope swallowed her demolished pride. He felt a twinge of sympathy as Penelope
realized she could never compete with a woman like Michelle. His master was so beautiful it hurt to look
at her.
“That’s $34,945.00 with taxes and fees. How will you be paying for that?” Penelope’s eyes kept drifting to the fabulous
blonde draped around him.
He handed over his gold card, the plastic so new and shiny
it still smelled of Las Vegas. Well over
six figures backed that account from his nights as a high roller in Vegas.
She swiped his card and managed to smile without
faltering. It touched him that Penelope
wondered why she couldn’t have a man like him in her life. And then she glanced at Michelle under his
arm, and she knew those women always stole all the Aarons for themselves. Penelope would have to make do scrounging for
leftovers.
He leaned towards her, stealing her breath with his
proximity. “Penelope, why don’t you join
us for a drink when you’re off work?”
He followed her thoughts as she asked the question, is he
worth sharing?
“I promise you won’t regret it.” He smiled again.
She bit her lower lip in anticipation. Yes, he was worth sharing, and the blonde
might be fun too …

Her mother named her Esperanza Salvación - Hope for Salvation. But when a girl works as an escort for Colombian cartel in the ghettos of Spanish Harlem, there wasn’t much hope, or salvation.
Hope’s telepathic ability keeps her a step ahead of ruin, but her unusual gift attracts the attention of a psychotic vampire bitch. Trapped in a Manhattan penthouse with the psycho, she thought she was dead meat.
Her survival lies in the hands of Vampire Master Enrique. He seems to respect her, perhaps even care. As a measure of protection, he makes her his personal Bloodslave. Helplessly addicted to his bite, Enrique rules her every moment. As always, Hope must adapt to survive.
Swept into the decadent nightlife of Manhattan's elite, she falls in love with Enrique and prays someday he may grow to love her, too. But is it simply a relationship of convenience? Is she nothing more than a concubine desperate to satisfy his nightly demands for blood and sex?
And forever in the background is the fear that one day the cartel boss she abandoned will hunt her down to collect on old debts.
