By request, this week’s six picks up where I left off last week. Oh, and the hero isn’t a vampire. He’s something I’ve never seen featured as a hero in a romance novel. 😉
His fangs grazed my throat before he bit down, and my skin punctured on a crisp pop. I cried out as my eyes watered. This was no gentle claiming. This hurt. Rhys’s venom was fire in my veins, his poison a brand that threatened to render me to soot beneath his ravaging mouth.
When at last he withdrew, he pressed a chaste kiss to the stinging wound.

Hailey writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.
Allure Van Sanz says
*crisp pop* great use of the senses, I could almost feel the breaking of skin.
Excellent.
Best,
Allure Van Sanz

Wow! I love “venom was fire in my veins.” Great six! I wonder what he is. The only thing I thought was a snake.

Rhys isn’t a snake. 🙂 I’ve actually read a really good snake shifter hero–Joey in Erica Hayes’s Poison Kissed.
