Play Is It True with today’s guest Sayara St Clair, author of Hurt Me Heal Me, an Erotic Romance. This is a game in which authors answer yes and no questions. They can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.First, tell us about your book.
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
After the death of her Master, Caitlin Bennett discovers years of abuse and sadistic cruelty at his hands have made her a slave to pain. To reach her peak, Cait needs the type of extreme agony few responsible Doms are willing to dole out, especially Doms like Paul Nelson. Willing to offer the love she craves, Paul’s nearly perfect—except for his aversion to the whip.Paul refuses to hurt Cait, instead attempting to recondition her through patience and trust. But the longer Cait suffers from lack of sexual release, the more she’s convinced her mind and body are irrevocably programmed. And time to convince her otherwise is running out. Waiting in the wings is a newbie Dom who’s determined to have Cait for his own…who’s learning the whip just for her.
Caitlin will soon have to choose—the man who can give her what she wants? Or the man who can give her what she needs?
Now, tell us Yes or No for each answer below. Feel free to explain any (or none) of your answers.
Is it true:
this is your first book?
Yes.
this book is part of a series?
Yes, it’s part of the Dante’s Purgatory Series.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
Oh yes, I did indeed. My characters love waking me up at 4.30-5.00 am with fantastic bits of dialogue that I can’t ignore. I think it’s to get back at me for all the trauma I put them through.
you did research for this book?
Yes. I spent a lot of time researching shibari/kinbaku techniques. Sometimes, though, I’d get a bit lost staring at beautiful, evocative photos of people tied up in rope. Oh well, I’m only human.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
No, they’re all human…well, except for Ivan (Caitlin’s sadistic ex-Master). He’s barely human.
this book has more than one genre?
Yes. It falls into the categories of Erotica as well as Contemporary Romance.
you speak more than one language?
Yes. I learnt Italian at school and I remember some of that. And now, I’m learning to speak Thai.
you grew up where you live now?
No. I was born in Australia, but about eight years ago, I moved to Thailand. Let’s just say, extreme culture shock ensued.
you love to read?
YES! I’m a voracious little bookworm.
you are never late?
No. I used to be on time for everything. And now that I have my own family, we are late for every. Single. Thing.
you love pizza?
Yes. If it has meat/chicken, pineapple and chilli on it, I’m happy. You give me something that’s called seafood in the shape of sticks, I’m gonna get cross.
you love sushi?
No. I prefer my food cooked to within an inch of its life.
you have a pet?
Yes, I have fish. I used to have dogs back home, but unfortunately my tiny Thai garden isn’t suitable for puppies. The kind of puppies I like—the ones I used to have—are Rottweilers and Bullmastiffs. They would tear this place up before I could blink!

Yearn For You by Sayara St Clair @SayaraStClair #RLFblog #Romance
Welcome Sayara St Clair author of Yearn For You, a new
Erotic Romance.Why did you write this book?While I was writing Hurt Me, Heal Me (the first book in the Dante’s Purgatory Series), BDSM club owner, Dante Caffarelli, began speaking to me. He was loud and he was persistent. He’s a Dom, so he tends towards bossiness. He’d arrive at about 4:30-5:00 am and wake me up with fantastic bits of dialogue. And no matter how little sleep you’ve had, Dante turning up in your bedroom in the morning is not something to be ignored.What is your favorite genre to read?Romance. And within that broad genre, I love paranormal—vampires, demons or angels only. I’m not interested in things like wood sprites or shapeshifting centipedes. I also like reading erotic romance and historical romance. If someone gave me a story about a Vampire-demon hybrid Dom living in the 1800’s, I’d be so happy. Put him a kilt, stick him on a horse and have him galloping about over the moors, and I’d be in heaven.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?That’s a really hard one for me. There are so many characters I’ve come across who have made an impression on me. Because I can’t decide, I might go with my first fictional love, Mr Rochester from Jane Eyre. Enigmatic, tortured and terribly flawed…need I continue?What are you working on at the moment?Right now, I’m working on Master Me, which is book three in the Dante’s Purgatory series. The story is about Xavier—the biggest, baddest guy in the club—and Trixie—the diminutive, yet feisty sub, who’s decided she’d rather be on the other end of the whip. Trixie likes to live on the edge. I’ll give you one guess who she wants to dominate.What books will we see from you in coming months?Firstly it will be Master Me. Following that, I plan to release the first book in my paranormal romance series. That is…unless any more Doms start busting into my bedroom at ungodly hours!Please tell us about your latest book.Genre: BDSM, Erotic
Romance.Book heat level (based
on movie ratings): RDante has been Erica’s savior since she was a child, protecting her from others, wiping her tears, making her feel worthy. Until, as the years passed, she began to feel something new…and a girl’s crush became a young woman’s unyielding passion. Though she ran away to Paris after Dante unknowingly broke her heart, even distance couldn’t quell Erica’s desire. Because she knows Dante well, knows what he’s capable of doing for a woman…and knows her submissive needs match Dante’s deep dominance perfectly.Dante’s in trouble. For years he’s kept his burning ache for his best friend’s sister firmly in check. But now Erica’s back in the States, more gorgeous than ever. Worse, she wants to learn about BDSM—and she’s determined to have Dante as a teacher. He won’t let her near the club he co-owns with her brother—Chris would kill him—but he’ll “train” her at home. When he’s done, Erica will want nothing to do with the lifestyle. And hopefully her crush on Dante will be diminished…for both their sakes.But Erica proves to be far more resilient that he’d ever dreamed, and Dante’s plan backfires in spectacular fashion, driving her straight into the clutches of someone far worse than another Dom. Someone dangerous, someone from his past…who’s going to make Erica pay for Dante’s sins.Amazon: http://bit.ly/YFYebookSayara St Clair Social Media
If someone told a young Sayara St Clair that one day she would be an erotic/paranormal-romance-writing Aussie expat living in Thailand, she would have snort-laughed and yelled, “You. Be. Crazy!”
If someone told her the same thing now, she would not yell, only nod solemnly. Because that actually happened.
Sayara has a science degree, with majors in both microbiology and biochemistry. Working in the fields of serology and tissue banking, she got to do lots of cool and sometimes slightly weird stuff. She was employed as the manager/buyer for furniture retail stores, where she had a chance to unleash her inner interior decorator. (Interior design is one of her great passions.) And for a time, she taught English to students in Asia. (Hanging about in a roomful of extremely loud, pint-sized humans is not one of her great passions.) She has written: ads for TV, print and radio; real estate brochures; website copy; and a screenplay. Now she’s writing fiction and has discovered it’s her favorite thing to do. She’s also learned that writing sultry romances is so much more fun than writing dry old scientific journal articles. No one has sex in scientific journal articles. Not the ones she wrote anyway.
When not writing, she may be most commonly found in a horizontal position reading, in the kitchen baking, in the garden planting, or somewhere else singing at the top of her lungs. She loves music and is prone to spontaneous bouts of dancing.
With regards to vampires and chocolate: she bites one on a daily basis and has had a lifelong obsession with the other. And she’s not telling which one’s which.

Genre Erotic contemporary romanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RSecrets…Don’t you just love a good juicy secret? If you
check out prime time TV, several shows revolve around a theme of secrets, lies
and gossip. Look at all the reality shows: The Real Housewives, The Bachelor,
The Bachelorette, Survivor, Top Chef, Celebrity Apprentice, etc. If you’re not
a fan of those, then you may have flipped through pages of People magazine or
some other Hollywood tabloid.Have you ever shared a secret with someone and perhaps later
regretted it when that secret was revealed either on purpose or by accident? The
results may have been costly in a relationship, a friendship, a job?Well, secrets of the naughtiest kind is the theme for the
Sins of Odyssey series. In each standalone story there is a couple faced with
secrets and lies that turn the characters’ lives upside down. The stories take

Always a fan of romance and the paranormal, I started
writing over twenty years ago for pleasure. My first story, a short erotic
vampire tale, was accepted for publication in 1996. Since then I’ve sold over
one hundred short stories, novellas and novels.I love to blend genres. I also love horror and a happily
ever after, so my books can be a bit unusual. If you’re looking for romance
with witches, aliens, vampires, angels, demons, shapeshifters and more, there’s
a good chance you’ll find something to your taste in my backlist.When I’m not writing, I enjoy reading, watching horror and
action movies, working out and spending time with my family and pets.Website http://www.kate-hill.com

Love in the Boondocks @AdamMannAuthor #RLFblog #romance
Dave is working for a development project with farmer
families in remote and distant areas, often mountainous. Very few people speak
English, and he works with several translators. He comes across primary school
teachers who work in villages in those areas, and one of them who speaks English
asks him for help with transport to one of the distant villages. She inadvertently
invites herself for accommodation overnight in Dave’s small village house.
Kim Anh comes from a family of teachers, and unfortunately is just recovering
from a failed marriage, so meeting Dave is quite fortuitous and she
instinctively cleans and tidies Dave’s kitchen and bedroom.
Kim’s departure to her new village is delayed as her transport is not
available, until after the forthcoming luni-solar holidays, and she stays
another day in Dave’s house. The weather grows colder and Dave kindly offers
her warmer sleeping facilities!
Kim had found Dave an attractive man when she first met him, but Dave found all
young ladies beautiful, until Kim began to blossom under Dave’s care.
Initial contact turns to passion and passion to deep love.
Everything works out well until Kim’s co-teacher turns up with a baby, a
non-husband, and big problems!About Love in the Boondocks

engaging guerrillas in the Philippines before World War II, from Tagalog

Dani: Stressing the Heroine from Taunt @Eve_Dangerfield #RLFblog #thriller
Every heroine has a story. She has a background, a history, and a past. This interview allows us to meet a heroine and get to know her better, by focusing on how she handles being relaxed, as well as how she handles stress.About Eve Dangerfield
Eve has loved romance novels since she first started swiping
her grandmother’s paperbacks at the age of fourteen. Now she writes her own
unapologetically sexy tales about complex women and
gorgeous-but-slightly-tortured men. Eve currently lives in Melbourne with her
lovely sister and a rabbit named Billy.About Taunt
Genre Contemporary Romance, Erotic, ThrillerBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RDaniel Schwartz never meant to uncover the apocalypse,
unfortunately for the Kiwi hacktivist, that’s exactly what happened. Yet while
it’s clear to her what she should do; cover it back up and get completely
smashed, the rest of the world doesn’t agree. A shady corporation places her in
a beachside prison where they promise to hold her until she agrees to talk.
Dani would be pretty annoyed if she weren’t:
a) Biologically incapable of being annoyed
b) Very intrigued by the men hired to guard her
c) Extremely hungover
John, Colt, and Seb have poured a lot of time and money into their private
security business the last thing they need is to waste six weeks babysitting a
hyperactive hippie. Sadly they’ve signed a shady but watertight contract. Each
of the three men finds himself drawn to the weird, pop-obsessed Daniel and she
to them. As they become entangled in each other’s lives Daniel is forced to answer
some big questions such as; how can you escape when there’s nowhere safe to go?
How can a commitmentphobe fall for not one, but three different men? And, most
importantly, should New Zealanders kick people who call them Hobbits? (Yes.)
Taunt is a heart-stopping erotic thriller; chock full of science, nail-biting
suspense, period jokes and good old fashioned lust.The Heroine’s Relaxed Side
This heroine is at a
party. Considering her story, describe the party.The party would be an outdoors event hosted by Daniel’s
eco-terrorist organization Grassroots. It’s a chance to connect and unwind with
other members and there would be live music, plenty of food and drink and a
casual dress code.How does the heroine
feel about being this particular party, and what body language is she
displaying that gives it away?Daniel would be thrilled to attend, bouncing around trying
to talk with as many people as possible while trying to peer-pressure others
into getting loose and making mistakes. She never stops smiling or talking,
unless she’s kissing that is.Is she more likely to
mingle or remain aloof?Mingle. Daniel loves being around others and more often than
not, the center of attention.If she drinks, what is
her drink of choice at this party?Daniel doesn’t drink as her biochemistry doesn’t allow for
it. She is however, very partial to substances of dubious legality. Also weed.How much drink is her
usual?Weed. Or fruit juice in glasses that make it look like
alcohol.The heroine figures out
where the hiding places are and then goes there. Is it to hide, to avoid
someone, or to go drag a friend back to the party?It would completely be to drag a shy friend, perhaps a
scientist or socially awkward programmer back into the fray. Once they’d been
brought back to the party she’d make it her personal mission to get them drunk
and laid.Is she likely to latch
onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is she the friend
that others latch onto?She is the friend that others latch onto; the bigger problem
can be maintaining her attention once you have it. Daniel is very distractible.If someone picked a fight
at this party, how is the heroine going to handle it?Daniel is, by her own admission, a lover not a fighter. As
Grassroots is a pacifist organization it would be kind of weird for a fight to
get out of hand at one of their parties, but if it did Daniel would probably
dump punch/cake on the offender’s heads and tell them to stop or she’d leak
their information to the Feds.Is the heroine the one
most likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?Tossed out. For sure. No questions asked.Will she know when to
leave, or stay late and make a nuisance of herself?She will stay late as she possibly can (unless she picks
up). Being a nuisance is kind of Daniel’s wheelhouse.The Heroine’s Stressed Out Side
How does the heroine handle
it if the cops or some other authority figure pulls her aside when she was
blameless in a situation?Lies her ass off, says whatever she thinks they want to hear
then escapes at the earliest possible opportunity.How does the heroine react
to hearing a scream?Runs towards the sound without thinking.If she sees someone being
assaulted, what is the FIRST thing that crosses her mind?What the actual fuck? Stop it you butthole!If she sees someone
being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing she does?Runs towards them and tries to break them apart, unless she
knows she’ll likely be hurt and overpowered in which case she would call the
cops/throw something/ find an alternative plan of action.This heroine attempts
to rescue someone and realizes that she is in over her head. The odds are against
her and there is no way out. She is going to get her butt handed to her. What does
she do?Fights as hard as she can for as long as she can, giving
everything she has.The heroine runs into
the one person from her past she wanted to avoid. She can’t get out of the
situation and must interact with him/her in some way. What does she do?Barrels into the awkwardness and tries to overwhelm the
person with the sheer force of her personality.Someone younger than
the heroine is in charge of the situation, and they are handling it badly,
perhaps bungling things. How does the heroine deal with it?Tact isn’t Daniel’s strong point. She would tell the person
straight up that they’re screwing the pooch and either suggest improvements or
conduct a mutiny to get the situation resolved another way.The heroine is in
physical pain but must bear up under it and keep going. What does she tell herself
in order to get through the situation?Daniel has a rare chemical disorder that affects her ability
to feel physical pain, however she is capable of feeling distressed. In those
moments she closes her eyes and tries to focus on happy memories from the past.What mentor’s words
come to mind in a bad situation?She recalls John Blackwood, her lover, telling her to relax
and count her breaths, then she does it.Buy Taunt
