Gabbi, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about Innocent Eyes.
Innocent Eyes by Gabbi Black
Genre dark erotic BDSM romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NC17
Hardworking university student Tarah Peters has observed tycoon Sebastian Merrick from her security guard post for weeks. Under his gaze, she experiences desire for the first time in her life, and his unexpected proposition both daunts and intrigues her.
Sebastian doesn’t proposition women, but feels compelled to offer Tarah a place to live and money for her schooling while he introduces her to his darkly erotic world. Her naïveté calls to him, but he must maintain an emotional distance while showing her the meaning of submission.
Tarah yearns for Sebastian to admit he wants more than just a Dominant/submissive relationship, that their enthrallment is mutual. Can she convince him this might be more than just an affair?
Know the Heroine from Innocent Eyes
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Tarah studies. She’s going to be an elementary school teacher and she’s struggling to finish her psychology, French grammar, and English literature classes.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Anything but noodles – she’s survived on them for years. Maybe a decadent dessert?
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
When she’s not in uniform, she’s all about the casual – jeans and cotton blouses.
Does she know how to fix things?
Truthfully, to her shame, she doesn’t. Her dad fixed things when she was growing up, and she’s lived in crappy apartments ever since. When she’s needed something fixed, the landlord will – reluctantly – do it.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
One night she tried to get Sebastian to talk about his past. She’d discovered various clues as to his history, but she never could have imagined the trauma. In the end, after opening up his soul, he sends her away.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She dives right in. In fact, at the company Christmas Party, she specifically grabs a seat next to a child and when one puts chocolate handprints on her dress, she merely laughs.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Cranky. She’s chronically under-slept and so struggles in the morning.
Can she use chopsticks?
She’s incompetent with chopsticks. Although she knows the Chinese food delivery guy, she can’t afford to buy it for herself.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
She mainlines coffee because of her weird hours. Then she crashes and sleeps as much as she can – but with school, work, and volunteering at a daycare, that doesn’t leave much time for shut eye.
What apps would she have on her phone?
Truthfully, Tarah doesn’t have a smart phone. Her phone can make calls and sends texts. She can’t afford anything else.
Android or iPhone?
Android.
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Unpierced – which Sebastian notices.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Unadorned. She sees herself as a plain girl – tattoos might draw attention and wouldn’t really be appropriate for school teachers.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Public transport all the way. She gets around Vancouver with complete ease – hopping buses or the SkyTrain whenever she needs to.
Recycle or toss?
Obsessive recycler. She’s all about saving the planet for future generations.
This story is told entirely through Tarah’s point of view, so Sebastian remains a bit of a mystery. I hope readers will pick up the book to discover the enigmatic hero who doesn’t call himself that.
