REVIEW: THE RAPPER’S GROUPIE is the fourth novella in TM Smith’s adult BLOOD COVEN WORLD erotic, paranormal/fantasy series-a spin off set in the author’s Blood Coven Series. This is rock star/animus demon D Monz, and Firebrand witch Celie’s story line. THE RAPPER’S GROUPIE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Celie and D Monz) THE RAPPER’S GROUPIE follows in the wake of death threats against our story line hero. D Monz is a world famous musician, and he has attracted the wrong kind of attention for his back stage antics. As a rock star and animus demon, D Monz feeds off of orgasms and $ex, and in this, D Monz is now facing the ire of an angry fan. Enter Firebrand Witch Celie, who has been assigned to protect our story line hero. Constantly needing to feed, D Monz finds himself with a new source of food, the woman with whom D Monz will fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Celie and D Monz, and the potential fall-out as the death threats become more dangerous and personal.

The relationship between Celie and D Monz begins acrimoniously as Celie is revolted by D Monz’ apparent us of all the females but D Monz needs to feed regularly, and in an effort to protect the man with whom she will fall in love, Celie offers herself up as lover and nourishment. D Monz is a bit of a manwh*re, and in this, his reputation precedes his introduction to our story line heroine.The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to the members of the band: Riot, Beast and Helms: publicist Lonnie, manager Marko, as well as several groupies and fans.

THE RAPPER’S GROUPIE is a story of obsession and madness, betrayal and revenge, acceptance and love. The fast paced novella is intriguing and entertaining; the romance is hot and heavy; the characters are desperate and determined.

The Holy Man

While in a sacred shrine, Elisabeta contemplates her future. She meets Nelo, the spiritual leader of the vampire breed, but he’s nothing like an Earther holy man. He likes his blood fresh and his sex hot.They are an unlikely match.From the moment Nelo sees Elisabeta, he is struck by her beauty and sympathetic with her desire to change her life.

But Do opposites really attract?

••••

REVIEW: THE HOLY MAN’S SINNER is the third novella in TM Smith’s adult BLOOD COVEN WORLD erotic, paranormal/fantasy series-a spin off set in the author’s Blood Coven Series. This is vampire Elisabeth, and vampire holy man Nelo’s story line. THE HOLY MAN’S SINNER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines or series is revealed where necessary. Elisabeta is Firebrand Rein’s sister (The Firebrand #1).

SOME BACKGROUND: Thousands of years earlier, a powerful group of witches and warlocks, in an effort to protect the human race, divided the world creating three realms: Earth, Scath and Darque. The Blood Coven series focuses on the fight to keep the worlds separated in the face of some powerful people hoping to destroy the people of earth.

Told from omniscient dual third person perspectives (Elisabeta and Nelo) THE HOLY MAN’S SINNER follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Nelo is vampire a holy man, a Cruor, and as such he finds himself with a new guest, a female vampire name Elisabeta, a woman who is struggling with her present and her past. Hoping for absolution for her sins, Elisabeta begins her journey with the vampire holy man, the Cruor with whom she will fall in love but all is not well at the Strigodierna Shrine where Elisabeth and Nelo are currently thriving, as our heroine finds herself targeted by the women in charge.

The world building is limited as most of the story line focuses on the building and highly sexual relationship, a relationship questioned by the Carnemia, a group of cloistered females who serve the holy and our story line hero.

The relationship between Elisabeta and Nelo is one of immediate attraction. Elisabeta struggles with her direction in life, a life of sin as she considers her future. Nelo is a man, who wants our story line heroine but a man whose duty is to administer to the vampires in his territory. The $ex scenes are raw, erotic and intense.

THE HOLY MAN’S SINNER is a story of instant attraction, need and frenzy. The fast paced, character driven premise is edgy; the characters are spirited and sassy.

A master’s degree in English and a doctorate in administration led me to education. After retiring from my career as a teacher and principal, I settled in to write something more creative than lesson plans on split infinitives and inner-school memos on noise in the hallway.

My first novel was the romantic mystery comedy romp Affection for Crime. My plans were to make this Maggie Hall book the first in a series about a quirky columnist and her friends and lovers. That may still happen, but interest in a different genre has changed my direction.

I am now living with vampires, demons, ylves, mages, and other magical beings who keep me awake at night with their tales of love and adventure. Taking great interest in their lives, I began a paranormal romance series with alpha males who aren’t always nice and females who have no problem keeping them in line.

I have learned much about the difference between writing a series and writing a stand-alone book. First, get a fantastic writing software program. Second, keep great notes. And third, do not think book one is complete until you have finished book five. These have been hard-learned lessons, but I am a hardheaded author.

Here are more orts, scraps, and fragments from my life. (Thank you, Virginia Woolf and Shakespeare.) I moved from sunny Las Vegas to the less-than-sunny Pacific Northwest. Here I have adventures with my daughter, son-in-law, and two granddaughters who also moved to the area. I also enjoy my membership at Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network (BARN), a local organization that supports the arts and offers classes and events with eleven different studios where a welcoming community of artists praise each other’s efforts. It was at BARN where my critique group began. With equal time given to in-depth comments on each other’s works, snarky remarks, and laughter, we have now been together over five years.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 5, 2024

He’s Arrogant

Lawgiver Daire is an arrogant incubus, a connoisseur of elegant females and the finer things of life.

She’s Common

Arianna is a witch and Firebrand warrior who is … well … common and less tastefully dressed than the legislator.

Nonetheless

When Daire needs an arm charm and bodyguard for a gala, he hires Ari. After a fire breaks out at the event, a question must be asked. Who’s the target? As the story unfolds, the mismatched warrior and the incubus dodge attacks and pursue a more erotic pastime than avoiding a killer.

••••

REVIEW: THE LAWGIVER’S FIREBRAND is the first novella in TM Smith’s contemporary, adult THE BLOOD COVEN WORLD erotic, paranormal / fantasy romance series-a spin off from the author’s THE BLOOD COVEN. This is incubus/lawgiver Daire, and witch/ Firebrand warrior Arianna ‘Ari’s’ story line. THE LAWGIVER’S FIREBRAND can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but some but some previous knowledge of the original series may be helpful. Any important information from the previous instalment is revealed where necessary.

SOME BACKGROUND: Thousands of years earlier, a powerful group of witches and warlocks, in an effort to protect the human race, divided the world creating three realms: Earth, Scath and Darque. The Blood Coven series focuses on the fight to keep the worlds separated in the face of some powerful people hoping to destroy the people of earth.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Ari and Daire) THE LAWGIVER’S FIREBRAND follows the building but reluctant relationship between our story line couple. Daire is an incubus; a lawgiver whose actions have been questioned by those opposed to interspecies matings. A night at the bar brings Daire up close and personal with rookie Firebrand Warrior and witch Arianna, the woman with whom Daire will fall in love. Daire is hosting an extravagant party, and Arianna has been tasked with Daire’s personal protection but a smoke-filled room and blazing fire forces Ari to expend all of her energy saving everyone else. Desperate to claim Ari as his own, Daire takes Ari to one of his many mansions but someone else is targeting our story line couple.

The world building focuses on the have and have nots; the powerful and the demanding; and the mention of the violent group known as Arisen Dawn.

The relationship between Ari and Daire begins acrimoniously. Daire is wealthy and a bit of a snob, and he sees Ari as someone beneath his stature and power. Ari knows immediately she is not in the same league as our story line hero but the heart wants something that may destroy them all. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

THE LAWGIVER’S FIREBRAND is a quick read; a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive; the characters are charismatic and determined.

REVIEW: THE FIREBRAND’S SUCCUBUS is the second novella in TM Smith’s adult THE BLOOD COVEN WORLD erotic, paranormal/fantasy romance set in the author’s Blood Coven World. This is djinn and Firebrand warrior Darius, and succubus Zora’s story line.
