Camelot

2010-09-02T15:18:00.001+10:00

Your beloved is calling
So come hither
My devoted knight
Unsheathe your sword
And follow the swish of my skirts
Through the heavenly gardens
The sun is bright upon my skin
Kissing gentle raindrops resting there
Hummingbirds sing our song
There are perfumed flowers everywhere
Come
Dance with me
Liberate yourself
Be wild and free
I'll be your naughty nymph
As long as you promise to debauch me
Chase me through the maze
And capture me in the meadow
Throw me down on the pretty daises
And raise my skirts high
Spread my lips
And expose my silky treasures
To your hot hungry kisses
Feed upon my flesh
Until I drench your adoring mouth
With my nectar
Stroke my hair
Ply me with lingering kisses
Impale me
Ride me uninhibitedly
I'm your wild brood mare
I like it hard
Brand me with your touch
Steal ecstatic cries from my lips
As I grip your plundering sword
With my savage, velvet heat
Spill your streaming lust into me
Let it blend with mine
Rest your head
Upon my heaving bosom
And whisper your devotion
Across my sweat-slicked skin
I'll breathe it against your hair
As I stroke your damp curls
'Til we venture into the land of dreams…

Ride like a Cowgirl

2010-09-02T14:43:00.002+10:00

I wanna be with you
My primal urges run riot
And I get all hot and bothered
Whenever you’re near

I wanna mount you
Like a first-rate cowgirl
In a Wild West rodeo
Watch your flanks heave between my thighs
As I slide up and down on your splendid cock
Enjoying a deliciously mouth-watering ride

I wanna bury my fingers in your hair
Drag those delicious lips to mine
Brand them with my passion
Taste their ripeness
And tug at their firmness
Steal breath and moan from within
As I ride…

I wanna feel your cock pulse deep
While I grip tight and release
Feel you rock and sway
As I wring you dry
Your moans filling my mouth
And my ears
While your cock fills my greedy pussy
As you come…

Your cowgirl is waiting to be satisfied.
Wanna be my ride?

I’m lost in la la Land
Sighing away minutes
Just thinking about him
That unique
Charming
Utterly mesmerizing man
I have a penchant for

Alpha male personified
Behind his uplifting smile and intense eyes
Lies a highly evolved analytical mind
A truly compassionate heart
And a soul awakened lifetimes before
An enlightened one

He radiates luminescent light
He humbles meInspires me to reach higher
To become more than I am

He is touched with a delightful kinda naughty
That seeps in And melts my bones
With its intense voracious flame

A beautiful apparition
He wanders through my flights of fancy
Consuming moments like this
From his ethereal bond
There’s no escape
But if one must have an addiction
He is an easy choice to make.

Mild Excerpt: Immortality's Caress 3: Sophia's Release

2007-06-27T22:14:00.000+10:00

Immortality’s Caress is a six part erotic romance vampire series, set in several historical periods.

Content Warning: This work focuses on one ‘monogamous’ couple, although, there are sexual situations performed by secondary characters within this work. This work contains BDSM, explicit sex, and graphic violence--my vampires don't visit the local blood bank.

Blurb

Set in New Orleans, 1770

Embraced against her will and then banished to the New World in 1592, Sophia struggles for survival. New Orleans, 1770, Sophia is Queen of her own clan and, as powerful as Queen Claudia is in her own realm.

Sophia masquerades as a Madame in The Crimson Lady, a thriving bordello. Her whores are vampires, their ‘guardians’ saloon staff. A place where anything goes, as long as you’re willing to pay the price…

Threatened, Claudia summons Sophia back to Venice, but she refuses to obey. No ruler worth her salt would return! Claudia sends Shiro, Sophia’s maker, to assassinate her…

Helpless to resist each other, they begin a rather unique relationship. Sophia’s power means nothing in Shiro’s arms, because deep down she is a submissive at heart…
Love isn’t always gentle and sweet…

Excerpt

The immortal paced before the mullioned windows, his hands clasped behind his back. The lengthy braid he wore almost reached the backs of his knees and matched the color of his dark oriental attire. She’d never seen such a lengthy mane on a male. Oh, but it looked so fine on him. Light and shadow played over his exquisitely sculpted features, which captivated her almost as much his trim, wiry physique. His was a stark beauty and akin to a netted butterfly, she was his captive. Right at that moment, she knew why so many risked all to acknowledge their animal instinct. Everything about him screamed at her to liberate her inhibitions and become the wild wanton she’d hidden from the outside world.

He stopped suddenly and turned to face her. His exotic eyes an incandescent yellow, frightened and excited her. She sucked in much-needed air. She had to admit liking them more when they were amber, and wondered whether such a look could burn if exposed to it for a time. “Accept the kindred, embrace what we are.” His melodic tone wrapped itself around her like fine oriental silk.

Wake up, Sophia, this creature is an assassin! He’s about to do his duty and execute you!

“I’ll not embrace what you are. Never!” His mouth curled slightly and a shiver ran right through her. The brief moment of bravado deserted her and she quickly looked away.

“What I am, my dear Sophia, is your god.” The words, spoken so softly, caught her attention more than they would have had he ranted them at her. “I can give you everything, or I can take it away.” He snapped his fingers. “The choice is entirely yours.”

Sophia tilted her head and pushed her locks over one shoulder, exposing her neck. “Then feast your fill and get it over and done with!”

Smiling coolly, he moved closer. A diminutive five-foot three-inches tall his five-foot eleven-inch frame towered over her. “I like your spirit, little butterfly.” His index finger caressed beneath her chin while his thumb traced over her quivering lips. She had to still the urge not to follow it with her tongue.

I will not be coerced! The direction of her thoughts alarmed her.

“Embrace immortality and I’ll mend your wings, teach you to soar beyond grounding emotion, take you places you’ve never conceived of. The promise of heaven will seem inconsequential…”

He must imagine me to be completely mad!

Another rave review for Immortality's Caress 2

2007-06-27T21:57:00.000+10:00

Another rave review for Critically Acclaimed EPPIE Award Finalist 2007 - Immortality’s Caress 2: Eloise’s Awakening!

It's been a looooog week me. I'm suffering the affects of a flu-- it's winter here in Australia--and I'm not at all productive. I'm working on completing Sophia's Release, the third book for Immortality's Caress, my historical vampire series, and more... Today I received some exciting news, which pepped me up. *Sneezes & grins* Below is a snippet from the latest review for Eloise's Awakening. I've pasted the blurb for those who have not read this work, to give you an idea before reading the review snippet. Much thanks to Tj at The Romance Studio for making my day brighter. :)

Book Blurb: 18 + reading

Note: Although this work is primarily a heterosexual erotic romance there is one f/f scene. Historical/ Paranormal/Erotic Romance. Set in Baroque France, 1688

Eloise de Mann is over a hundred years old. She is vivacious, spirited, rather eccentric and somewhat gauche, for a vampire. Her past hurts have her steering clear of the male species, with the exception of a few select immortals, and her incompetent guardian Claude.

Eloise loathes coffins and will only use one when necessary, so naturally she’s outraged when she awakens in one, knowing her male guardian has betrayed her. She climbs from the coffin in a right state, but hang nails, disheveled hair and a wrinkled, musty-scented gown, are the least of her problems!

Upon entering her home, Eloise finds that an Englishman, Lord Christian Montgomery, has taken up residence there. Luckily for him, the deafening voice of reason, Queen Claudia’s, forbids Eloise to harm him in any way! Her only option is to seduce him.

This pair battle over more than mere possessions…
Come taste the second scorching installment of Immortality’s Caress.

Review Snippet

The Romance Studio
Eloise's Awakening: Immortality's Caress 2
Monica M. Martin
Paranormal erotic romance
Available from Extasy Books
ISBN: 1-55410-689-3
July 2006

Eloise is a strong female character in this sequel and she meets her match in Christian. Christian goes about enticing Eloise in ways she never thought possible. She only wants this man out of her home, but something more is at work here. The setting, dialogue, and characters are thoughtfully brought to life. The research Ms. Martin has done is apparent in this work and makes the reader feel as if they are really in Venice or France. The erotic elements add heat to the story in just the right way. I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.

I Interview Author Michael Keene

2007-06-19T22:03:00.000+10:00

Michael Keene

· BIO.

· In the mid 80s I was actively involved as a photographer in fashion. My studio was in S/London with a staff of 20. I also traveled across Europe as a photojournalist writing on travel, which gave me an exciting insight into peoples’ lives. Now having lived life and enjoyed people of varied lifestyles, I now have a cottage by the sea in the South of England where I write about those now fictional characters that somehow have crossed my life.

· Book Excerpt

· 'Poor Rich Guy Matthew' by Michael Keene. Published by Silks Vault Publishers.

· Matthew has finished University and returns home to run the family estate. Uncertain about his sexuality, lonely, frustrated, and yearning for the love of another guy, Matthew spends his time in a fantasy world reading gay fiction.

· In his spare time, he visits local pubs and is attracted to not one, but two guys at the same time. Ian sells farm equipment, so it becomes easy to invite him to the mansion on business and let things develop from these meetings.

· Meanwhile he meets Todd, and begins to fall in love with him. They spend nights in secret in the mansion making love, but what if his parents were to find out?. He soon learns that his parents are not as perfect as he has been lead to believe. Nothing goes as planned in this erotic tale of a young man's quest for love.

· Books Available

· Michael Keene Author. [Pseudonym Name] Writer of Gay Fiction.

· 'Poor Rich Guy Matthew' Published by Silks Vault Publishers.

· 'The Loch Keeper' Published by Whiskey Creek Press.

· These are the first two gay fiction books to be published... However, WCP have just received another for publishing.

· 'Two into One' [WCP Torrid Raw]

· The most exciting breaking news is: The first book of a Trilogy is to be published within the next few weeks. It's been four years of hard work in finding the right publisher. Contracts have been signed, book cover approved, and as this is now ready to go to press.

· 'Through the Mist' Publisher Collective Publishing [Paper Back]
· 'Return to Ceze' will follow and then the third book 'Don't Josh With Me' .

· The Interview

· MMM. What inspired me to pen The Lock Keeper?

· MK. I wanted to write a story about a guy who escapes into the wilds and is free to roam naked as he hunts for his food. I didn't want it to be a boy meets girl type of story. And as I believe that gay guys do want love stories in their lives, it slotted in nicely with my views. So Craig [ the main character ] is gay, and although he is running from life, he never dreamed he would find his love in the wilds of Scotland.

· MMM. Do all of your works include gay characters?

· MK. Under my pen name [ Michael Keene ] Yes. But I also write under my legal name Mike Herring..

· 'The Bare Photographer' Published by UPSO. By Mike Herring
· 'Double Take' Published by The Publishing Club' By Mike Herring.

· MMM: Have you always wanted to be a writer?

· MK. Yes - but it would never have paid the bills and brought in enough monies to raise a family of three. But now I have had my fill of the commercial rate race, writing I find allows me to escape into a world of fiction where I can let my stories flow. I believe that before one can write about life [ for that's what I do and enjoy] one has to have lived it.

· MMM. Where do I see yourself in ten years time?

· MK. Please God, still writing about life as it is and enjoying the fruits of my writing.

· MMM. Thanks for your time, Michael. Please tell me your email and website so that readers may contact you.

· MK. My pleasure in making time to answer your questions... Love it really.

· My email address is keene@michaelkeeneauthor.com

Desiree Erotique Tagged me!

2007-06-06T03:56:00.000+10:00

Author friend, Desiree Erotique, tagged me!

Here are the rules:

1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here’s my ah…errr…stuff.

8 random facts/habits about me:

1. I can’t go a day without my coffee. Grumpy bum grows fangs and foams at the mouth.

2. January this year I flew from Brisbane to LA, it was the very first time I’d flown anywhere and I went on my own. Big baby grew up. It was the longest time I’d spent away from my fourteen-year-old son. He forgives me. LOL

3. I used to be a model for mens magazines. <--> Ditto Desiree’s comment.

4. I was a belly dancer.

5. I’m obsessed by most things Egyptian. My first project was about Khufu, a fourth Dynasty Pharaoh and Great Pyramid builder— my greatest obsession. I’ve written several works set in Egypt but only one has been published. My lover is Egyptian. And how far can one take an obsession you wonder? No, not nuts... eccentric, I tell you.

6. I used to paint landscapes and draw portraits. <--> Ditto Desiree’s comment. Now I just photograph everything. Well...almost.

7. I didn’t grow up with the notion I’d be a writer. I wanted to be a singer. I started writing in 2000.

8. My best friend is male. No, he’s not my lover. Hmm… I hear you thinkin’. No, he’s not gay either. LOL

The mysterious Lord and Lady Lamberti invite Allegra and her two friends, Sophia and Eloise, to holiday with them at their exclusive summerhouse on the Rivera del Brenta. The evening of their arrival the three women are shocked to discover they’re among a clan of vampires and that they’re to compete for the affections of one four hundred and twenty year old elder, who’s in need of a bride. Those who refuse to play, those who aren’t accepting of the kindred, and those who fail, must die.

Allegra remembers Gabriele from her hedonistic dreams and is eager to know him better, and although Gabriele’s obsessed with her, he must spend time with each woman before he makes his selection...

Can Allegra play the kindred’s game long enough to garner the ultimate prize, Gabriele’s affections, or is the price…too high?

REVIEW SNIPPET

Monica M. Martin has written a great sequel to her first book, IMMORTALITY’S CARESS: ALLEGRA’S SEDUCTION. Eloise is a head strong vampire that knows what she wants andshe wants Christian out of her house. But does she? Christian enchanted her and she loved the kisses and caresses he gave her. The sex scenes are hot and will leave you fanning and wanting more. The setting, story, characters and dialogue are well developed, and Ms. Martin’s research shines with facts throughout, lending an authentic feel to this book. I enjoyed reading about this era and feel that ELOISE’S AWAKENING is a great book. Ms. Martin, I will be looking forward to reading your next book in this series.

Thank You! Thank you! Thank you for the fabulous review, Moon Tee! R

2006-07-23T03:49:00.000+10:00

New Release at eXtasy Books! Link to book page and excerpt (18 + please)

Blurb

Eloise de Mann is over a hundred years old. She is vivacious, spirited, rather eccentric and somewhat gauche, for a vampire. Her past hurts have her steering clear of the male species, with the exception of a few select immortals, and her incompetent guardian Claude.

Eloise loathes coffins and will only use one when necessary, so naturally she is outraged when she awakens in one, knowing her male guardian has betrayed her. She climbs from the coffin in a right state, but hang nails, disheveled hair and a wrinkled, musty-scented gown, are the least of her problems! Upon entering her home, Eloise finds that an Englishman, Lord Christian Montgomery, has taken up residence there. Luckily for him, the deafening voice of reason, Queen Claudia's, forbids Eloise to harm him in any way! Her only option is to seduce him.

This pair battle over more than mere possessions. Come taste the second scorching installment of Immortality's Caress.

Review from Romance Junkies
Allegra’s Seduction: Immortality’s Caress book 1
Available now at eXtasy Books www.extasybooks.com

Allegra is very much her own woman, strong and independent. The characterizations of her friends, Sophia and Eloise are also well developed and likeable. Gabriele is a delicious rake and I found him very endearing. I also loved the vivid descriptions of the costumes, parties, the language and mannerisms of that time. I really felt as if I were there.
I have not read this author before, but plan to remedy that.

You are a water witch. Beautiful and intuitive, you draw your power from the water. You can be tranquil and terrible at one and the same time and might be described as "moody."

Wonderful Review From Fallen Angel Reviews!

2006-04-04T17:09:00.000+10:00

FAR~ Fallen Angel Reviews~ Reviewed by: Moonluster
Set in Venice in 1592, which is a great period for a vampire story, Allegra’s Seduction, will captivate you. Monica Martin has done a terrific job of showing their strengths and weaknesses. Ms Martin has done her research for this story and it shows. The darkness you would expect from a vampire story comes to life. The love scenes are really written well with the passion flowing between Gabriele and Allegra right from the start and just keeps getting better all through the rest of the book. I loved this book. It is a true love story that seemed so real to me. I especially thought the time period was fantastic. You will want to continue reading until the last page.Read Entire Review here: http://www.fallenangelreviews.com/2006/March/Moonluster-ImmortalitysCaress_AllegrasSeduction.htm

'The Road To Romance' Gives Allegra's Seduction A Rave Review!

2006-03-28T15:22:00.000+10:00

Allegra’s Seduction is the first in a wonderful series that is by Ms. Martin. She writes with flair and definitely captures the imagination of the reader in this new twist of a vampire tale. Each page was intricately woven with great writing, a lush setting, and captivating characters; this is truly a book that stays with you long after the last page is read. Be forewarned, however, that there are some brief M/M, M/F/F and light bondage scenes that enhance the story instead of taking away from it. Ms. Martin sets up the story for the next book and this reviewer is highly looking forward to it!

Review Snippets for Crimson Destiny

2006-03-24T11:14:00.000+10:00

Literary Nymphs ~Reviewer: Carolina Minx

Ms. Martin is an author who has put a lot of detail into this story. Whether it's battle scenes or love scenes, she is very descriptive about her subject. There is a male on male love scene at the beginning of the story that is helpful to the reader to show the relationship between Drago and the vampire who turned him… The story ends rather quickly but it does have a happy ending and is a satisfying read.
Read entire review here: http://www.geocities.com/literarynymphs/crimsondestiny.html

Coffee Time Romance~ Reviewer: Charissa ~

The author does a brilliant job of crafting both Sara and the villain in this novel. Their emotions, raw and succinct stirring the reader to understanding their hearts desires. While Drago is an attractive feature in this novel, it seems at odds that a battle tested warrior stands by so reluctantly until the very end. Overall, the strength of these characters desires both emotionally and sexually turn this into a good read and the culmination of 800 years of love and hatred are brought to a wonderfully climactic peak in the end.

More Review Snippets for Allegra's Seduction: Immortality's Caress book 1.

The Pink Posse (4/5)

Review: A 4 Pink Hats Off Salute to Monica M. Martin. A vampiric version of the classic story of Cinderella and her Prince Charming this story was a really great read.

While I would have liked to see a bit more emotional depth in the characters and a clearer picture of how their history contributed to their current state, it was nevertheless a book I had a hard time putting down.

I truly appreciated her dedication to accuracy. This lady definitely did her research on the correct terminology for the time period.

The heat in these pages was enough to steam up my glasses. I recommend this book as an excellent light read, a great addition to any e-Library. Reviewed by: J.D.

May Reviews

****EXCELLENT (4/5)
Ms. Martin has penned a detailed vision of historic Venetian Italy. It is filled with both the darkness that you would expect from this type of vampire story, as well as the passion and love necessary for an erotic romance. I was favorably impressed with the way the author made the vampire world come to life. The love scenes are beautifully written, and you can taste the passion between the two.

Warning: There is graphic violence and sex, with hints of M/M, F/F, BDSM, and menage a trois.

Coffee Time Romance (3/5)

Rating 3/5 The love story of Allegra and Gabriele is very emotional and powerful. This story is well written and the characters were, for the most part, real to me. There were times the vampires seemed to follow the standard idea of what a vampire is too closely. I would have liked to see a bit more world building here, but beyond that this is a story I enjoyed. I would recommend it to anyone who likes dark vampire romance.

JERR Gives Allegra's Seduction: Immortality's Caress 1~ 4 stars & the big O

2006-03-06T13:58:00.000+10:00

Cover by Martine Jardin

Title: Immortality’s Caress Book 1: Allegra’s Seduction
Author: Monica M. Martin
Publisher: eXtasy Books

Genre: Romance/Vampire/ Series

ISBN: 1-55410-617-6
Reviewer: Aggie Tsirikas
Rating: 4/5 Stars
Heat level: O (orgasmic)

Allegra Montague, along with her two best friends Eloise and Sophia, are invited to the villa of Lord and Lady Lamberti for a weekend jaunt. Little do these ladies realize what they’re about to encounter before succumbing to the temptations around them. They will be challenged for Count del Fra’s affections so that this elder may select his bride, and in the process find themselves amongst a group of decadent vampires. Gabriele seems taken by Allegra’s seductive allure, but what of her equally delicious friends Eloise and Sophia?

Set in the lush and opulent 1592 Venice, Allegra’s Seduction is the first book in the Immortality’s Caress series by Ms. Martin that is well worth investing for a “meaty” and satisfying read. This 200 plus page story is rich in detail with aspects of intrigue, romance, and a whole lot of naughtiness that is sure to excite your senses with some really stirring sex scenes. There are some interesting aspects of Ms. Martin’s vampires, or rather kindred as they’re referred to. They have both strength and weaknesses making them compelling creatures. Gabriele, our 430 year old vampire is a romantic, thoughtful, forceful and compassionate man…and a right match for our heroine. Allegra seems unsure of herself at first, despite the fact that she’s a worldly woman of her times. The setting, story, characters and dialogue are well developed, and Ms. Martin’s research shines with facts interspersed throughout, lending an authentic feel to this book. Gabriele’s “maker”, Marcus, and his Queen Claudia also play an interesting role in this story. The length also allows the author to develop the main characters and set the scene for Eloise’s upcoming story without losing any momentum. Just be aware there are brief M/M, F/F, light bondage scenes, some graphic violence and ménage, but these don’t detract from the story.

NEW RELEASE~ CRIMSON DESTINY

Cover by Martine jardin

OUT NOW!

Blurb:Cursed, Drago has walked in darkness over eight hundred years, without a female by his side. Love has no place in his world, only death and abstinence. When a heartbroken Sara steps into his forbidden realm… reads his journals and becomes obsessed with him, she lures him with her intensity, awakening his long denied desires and emotions…

Review Snippet:
This is an intense tale that is a real page turner. There is a lot to keep this couple apart, but in this case, love will not be denied. They The storyline is compelling, the sex hot, and the characters are well developed. Khalid is a good villain. Drago is the lonely passive male unwilling to fight and challenge Khalid, until his true love is endangered... Ms. Martin has written a tale that will be remembered long after reading the final line. May @ MayReviews.com ~

Note:Although this work is primarily a heterosexual erotic romance there is one m/m scene. The work also contains an S&M scene, ménage a trois, explicit sex and violence.
