Elodie Parkes joins me today, as we celebrate the release of Rescuing Cade, from Evernight Publishing.
Hi, Elodie,
welcome! I have five questions for you today. This is different from the usual author interviews you do.
Hi, it’s great to be here. (Smiles)
1.
Tell
us a secret about your books, anything that springs to mind as long as you’ve
never revealed the answers to anyone before.
Yikes, that will blow the secret,
then, huh. (Grins) Okay here we go. This is scary. It’s not
about my new release, Rescuing Cade, from Evernight, but about, Candle Magic,
my Dec 23 release with Siren. In my stories there’s always the tiniest part of
truth from either my life or from some real life situation and I never tell
anyone.
In Candle Magic, my heroine, Simi,
tells Jason, my hero, about her family. That part is a truth and it’s about me.
Jason is part spirit, part angel made human through the magical connections
Simi has triggered by finding a candlestick and buying old candles from an
antique shop.
Here’s the snippet.
Reluctantly he pulled away from her
lips. “I’m sorry I don’t have a Christmas gift for you. I’d like to have
brought you something.”
Surprise showed in her eyes as he gazed
at her.
“I have nothing for you either, but we
have each other today, and if I hadn’t met you last night, I would be alone
today, and from what you’ve said about family, so would you.”
Jason rocked her in his arms, incredibly
pleased at what she’d said. “We do have each other. What happened to your
family, your parents? Is that prying?” he added, aware it might be something
horrible that Simi wouldn’t want to reveal.
“They moved out of the country. They
disowned me. I don’t know why really. They just stopped replying to my emails
and calls.”
Startled by this sad revelation, Jason
hugged her. “I’m so sorry. Do you think something might have happened to them?”
He made a mental note to check on that if he returned to the ether.
Simi leaned back in his arms. “Nothing
has. I check on them.” She grinned then continued. “They have a surf and ski
shop. It has webcams up that show the interior and exterior of the shop to the
world. I check it out when I’m online. I see them in there.”
Astounded, Jason stared at her. There
were no words to express his surprise, empathy, or sorrow at this bizarre
situation.
She must have become embarrassed because
she bowed her head silently.
Jason crushed her to his chest, his hand
in her hair and his arm around her waist. “Hell, Simi, that must hurt you. I
don’t know what to say.” He rocked her again, stroking along her back in an
attempt to convey comfort and care. He remembered the Kris Kringle gift, and
seeking to lighten the mood, he reminded Simi. “You have that gift from your
office party. Open it. It will be fun to see what someone got for you.”

Thank you
for sharing that secret. I’m tempted to ask what the secret fact is in Recuing
Cade, but … on to the next question.
2.
What
do you like most about sex?
Oh no. (Laughs) That’s worse than giving up a secret. I’ll answer. I have no ‘like
most’ I like it all. Let’s face it sex is yummy.
3.
I
see you post a number of gorgeous guys pics on your Facebook page and blog.
What part of a man’s body turns you on most?
I like that V shape on a man’s hips, especially when there’s a fine line
of hair running down to his … I like shoulders and eyes and stubble and hard
asses, then there’s thighs and lips. (Sighs)
4.
What’s
your favorite cocktail?
Is that a trick question? I actually don’t drink alcohol. I have
allergies and I discovered that alcoholic makes them all worse.
5.
Are
you wearing a matching bra and panties right now?
I am. (She
laughs) I most often do. I love pretty
underwear, lacey stuff, stockings and garter belts. I’m mostly seen in jeans,
boots, and leather jackets, but under them is black silk and lace. I read a
jokey thing on Facebook that said only in erotic romance is the girl wearing
matching bra and panties. I don’t think that’s true.
Rescuing Cade
Cade’s
trying to get over a broken heart when his friend Jack takes him off to a
nightclub, named only, The Club. Although at first Cade is shocked by the place
he meets Marissa. It’s not long before he and Marissa get together, but under
the pressure of expectations from, The Club, and Marissa’s fear of commitment,
they’re both running in opposite directions.
Gorgeous
Cade has touched Marissa’s heart in ways she doesn’t want to admit.
Lovely
Marissa has lifted Cade’s sadness and opened his heart to love again. The trouble
is—someone has to give a little. Who’s it going to be?
An erotic
romance with a sprinkle of vanilla BDSM
I have a hot excerpt for
you today.
Marissa found her gaze straying back to Cade.
He stood awkwardly by the table where Jack finger-fucked his current
Sub. She laid back with her legs wide apart, her dress up around her waist, and
her wrists tied over her head with a blue satin scarf. If she’d worn panties to
visit The Club, there was no sign of them now.
Marissa watched the Sub squirm, whimpering for release.
Jack shook his head. “Not yet, sweetheart, I’m enjoying your lovely
pussy. Your cream’s running down my palm. I’m going to lick it up and then I’ll
think about letting you come. Are you enjoying showing my guest what a good
girl you are?”
The Sub murmured, her breath hitching as Jack bent and thrust his tongue
into her pussy.
“Yes, sir, it’s exactly how I hoped it would be.”
Marissa’s pussy drenched her panties. She licked her lips.
Cade lurched around and took a step toward her table.
He looked unseeing right into Marissa’s eyes, the expression on his face
a glaze of pure confusion, and then he passed by heading to the bar in the
corner.
Marissa watched him take a sip of the iced water he’d ordered, then she
too got up and walked away from that part of The Club where sex soaked the air
with erotic perfume, and the sounds of orgasm played havoc with her own
desires.
