EROTIC HISTORICAL ROMANCE AUTHOR….
JESS MICHAELS
~TAKEN BY THE DUKE~


MBA&M: What was or is the hardest part of writing a erotic seduction scene?Jess: I’ve written 19 erotic romances (some novellas) and another 12 historical romances with strong sexuality to them so I guess I don’t really think so much about it being hard. I think love scenes are such a driving force plot-wise and character-wise in my books that I couldn’t imagine the books without them. It’s not a source or discomfort and hopefully that comes across to my readers.
MBA&M: Let’s play a little game, shall we? What comes to mind when I say the following?(One word answers please,with no extra throught):
Sensual? Romance

Taken By the Duke
The Pleasure Wars, Book 1
Amid all the lies and scandals that fuel Society’s gossip mill, one truth has always stood out: House Rothcastle and House Windbury have always hated each other.Lady Ava Windbury prays the feud will someday end, to no avail. One dreadful night, her brother accidentally causes the death of Christian Rothcastle’s sister, a tragedy that leaves both men maimed.
Consumed by grief, Christian makes a grim decision. He will kidnap Lady Ava so that her family will feel the pain of loss as keenly as he feels the loss of his own sister. But once he has Ava in his clutches, desire takes unexpected hold. Even more surprising, she willingly surrenders to his every sexual whim—after haggling over the terms of giving up her virginity.
Too late, he realizes she is using her body for peace, not war. But just as their affair of revenges turns into an affair of the heart, the past rears its ugly head to take matters into its own hands…

I just finished reading Taken By the Duke! This is the first book that I read written by Jess Michaels. I am truly happy to have discovered this Regency story! I got hooked as soon as I started to read it, I could not put it down. She wrote some hot steamy sexual scenes that will keep your interest throughout the book. I recommend this book! It is fast-paced and filled with lots of high emotions that will get you pulled into her story. Please, do not include me in your giveaway, since I already read it! I just dropped by to comment this new-to-me author and her boo!
