Synopsis
You get hurt once; you assume that’s
the norm. You see others suffer; you assume that’s the norm,
too.
At least, that’s what Livana once did. One rough go-around
was enough for her. After that, she kept it simple, no strings attached. It was
just easier that way. Even necessary.
Until she went out one night and met Calum Alexander, a man
whose intensity broke through each of her defenses, leaving her vulnerable.
Afraid to fall in love, she tries to
keep some of her walls up around herself, even though Calum is determined not
to let her.
Faced with a man that seems intent on possessing her, Liv
knows it’s a mere matter of time before she no longer has a choice.
That is...until Calum's own insecurities
come to the fore, throwing their new, fragile relationship into a
tailspin.
Will the feelings between them be strong enough to keep them
together, or will their issues get in the way of what they had just started to
build?

Exclusive MaE Interview with N. Isabelle Blanco!
Pssst: She finally talks about
the Obsessions Series! Does this mean we're getting Ang and Luke
soon? We're praying!
1. What can we expect with the continuation of
Liv and Calum’s story?
Nyddi: Oh man. It’s totally different
from book one yet it’s makes perfect sense that their story is now heading in
the direction it’s heading. Calum began discovering a whole new side to himself
in book one, but it was still so simple and so “Sweet” almost. In this book,
things get crazier, darker, more dramatic. Liv is dealing with her relationship
phobias/issues as well as her feelings for Calum. Calum is dealing with an
utter lack of control because of her that he’s never dealt with before,
and they’re both absolutely clueless as to how to deal with what’s happening.
2. Why the new direction?
Nyddi: I think it was always meant to
be. When I wrote the first book, Calum’s personality developed on its own and
he was so much more in control at first than any male I had ever written. He
wasn’t an innocent, but he definitely wasn’t as wild as the men I usually
write. At least, not that he was aware of. But I remember writing the scene
when he first saw Livana, and his visceral reaction to her, and I felt that
dominating “I’m going to pull your hair and own you” part of him awakening and
I sensed his panic at that. He truly does not know how to accept this new side
of him at first, especially when faced with such an independent woman such as
Liv, who seems to sometimes not care whether she has him or not.
As for Livana, I truly think some people might not like her
at first. This book is in her POV, and we get a front row seat to her mindset.
She was hurt and betrayed in the worse way and she was really, really young
when it happened. When you get hurt that bad at such a young age, you erect
these faulty defense mechanisms in order to protect yourself from it happening
ever again. Liv now has to deal with Calum tearing down each of those defenses
one by one, although she’s nowhere near ready to trust anyone again.
3. How does this book tie in to what will be
book 3 of your Allure series?
Nyddi: Well, the two series are tied
together anyway, and they all are leading to my Obsessions Series (Angelina and
Lucas). This book ties in because many of the events are happening during book
two of Allure (Allure Magnified) and there are events at the end of this book
that will be occurring during the beginning of Wrecked Allure, which will be
the third and last installment of the Allure series.
And I will say no more on the matter! LOL I don’t want to
give away too many spoilers :p
4. Tell us about the sex scenes. Calum is
slowly losing more and more control when it comes to Liv, and we’re dying to
know how this translates in the bedroom ^_~
Nyddi: Who said anything about a
bedroom? *Runs to check* Yup. I don’t think there’s a single love scene in this
book that takes place anywhere near a bed…although, if you count his couch,
then yeah, it was “near”. Then again, his house is really big LOL
Calum is exploring all these crazy new urges he has because
of Livana, so trust me when I say that the new, upgraded Calum 2.0 is going to
definitely rock her world. I’m barely surviving writing him!
5. What else are you working on now and what
can we expect from you in the future?
Nyddi: The project I’m most immersed in,
aside from CF, is Need. I’m writing that book with K.I. Lynn and OMG. I’ve already predicted
that it will break me once we’re done writing it. It’s turned into one of the
most emotional, fun, frustrating rollercoaster rides of my career. We’re almost
at the halfway point and I have to say that I have never been prouder of
something I’ve worked on before.
Bringing an alpha male to life alongside K.I. Lynn is
exhilarating, hormonally painful, and spiritual all at once LOL! (I really,
really mean this.) I am so excited for us to get this one done so we can show
it off to the world.
After Need is finished I have the following books in the cue
to be written and published in 2014/2015:
Wrecked Allure (Allure #3)
Blood Drenched Conquest (Szolites
#3)
Systematic Seige: Provocative Tendencies (SSPT
Episode #1)
Broken Headboard, Power Panties, &
Penis Charms (Broken Headboards #1)
Damage Owed (Retaliations #2)
Systematic Seige: Provocative Tendencies (SSPT
Episode #2)
The Exchange Part 2 (Project Sapphire
#2)
And these are only the ones
I'm allowed to announce so far!
So yes. The next year or so will be the busiest year of my
life. But I wouldn’t change it for the world. Thank you so much to all my fans
that keep pushing me and keep me going. I could never live without your support
and I go to sleep and wake up in the morning with the drive to write faster
because of you <3
About the Author
N. Isabelle Blanco was born in Queens, NY (USA). At the age of
three, due to an odd fascination with studying her mother’s handwriting, she
began to read and write. By the time she’d reached kindergarten, she had an
extensive vocabulary and her obsession with words began to bleed into every
aspect of her life.
An avid reader in her teens, her fascination with Japanese
anime eventually led her to the universe of fan fiction, which became her
on-again, off-again hobby for the next ten years. During that time she amassed
a following of fans that, by her own admission, she would never be able to live
without. It was those fans who encouraged her to step beyond the fan fiction
realm and try her talent in the publishing world.
N. Isabelle Blanco spends her days working as an author, web
programmer, marketer, and graphic designer. That is when she isn’t handling her
“spawn”, as she calls her son, and brainstorming with him about his future
career as a comic book illustrator.
