ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 24, 2014

How do you make room for love when you hold envy in your heart?

Phthonos, god of envy & jealousy, has been given a second chance at life and love in the mortal realm. He is desperate to make up for the mistakes of his past, but is Thon more demon than god? And if the demon Envy wins out, how will this lonely god ever find room in his heart for love?

Olivia is an ordinary woman living an ordered life, but at thirty-two true romance appears to have eluded her. Everywhere she looks people are in relationships or falling in love, but her career and her charity work are enough to keep the demon of envy at bay.

Or so she thinks…until the moment he turns up on her doorstep with a demand that rips her life and her heart wide open and leaves her at risk of eternal torment.

This fifth installment in the GODS OF LOVE series will be out 24th May 2014. Each of the GODS OF LOVE novellas are stand-alone and it is not necessary to read them in order. If you want to read DEMON OF ENVY first, go ahead!

•••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: DEMON OF ENVY is the fifth instalment in Jennifer Lynne’s contemporary, adult, Gods of Love erotic novella series focusing on the sons of Aphrodite and the Erotes (gods of desire). This is Phthonos ( god of envy and jealousy) and Olivia Stratton’s storyline. Although this is the fifth book in the series, each book can be read as a stand alone.

For weeks, Olivia has been dreaming –erotic dreams about a beautiful man who is more godlike than he is human. With a past mired in abuse and a secret that she is no longer willing to reveal, Olivia’s life cycles between her work with a fund raising organization and the panic attacks that she struggles to control. The day Phthonos-or Thon as he likes to be called-strolls into her life-Olivia is a changed woman. But jealousy and envy will rear its’ demonic head when Thon is unable to control the beast within and everyone’s life will be place in danger when he believes someone else has touched what is his.

The majority of the storyline is an erotic look at two people whose dreams have become reality; where a god-like demon believes he has found the one woman to control the savage beast; and where one woman will discover that what she wants isn’t necessarily what she needs. As this is an erotic romance series, the sex is graphic, sensual and often. There is an ‘insta-love’ quality to all of the Gods of Love storyline characters and in this, Olivia and Thon will lose more than their hearts to one another.

Jennifer Lynne writes a seductive and provocative storyline; where one man tries to control his god-given natural tendencies and falls for a woman who is trying to control the anxiety that is her life. Because this is a novella, the world building is limited and the secondary characters offer up the catalyst that drives our couple apart.

I will add, that I LOVE this cover and the model image-very sensual and beautiful.

excerpt

Rated Adults-only, 18+

Retreat. She must retreat before it consumed her, this darkness. She had enough darkness of her own to contend with. Reluctant tears pooled beneath her closed eyelids and her throat tightened, hurting her. The poor dear man.

Stupid, stubborn, and with a soul-deep suffering that would take more than a flash of her power to heal. Her safest option was to leave here now and seek out someone else who would benefit from her endless experience. Someone who would welcome her assistance. Someone who would be unable to resist her potent brand of desire. Someone who would ease this incessant physical ache in her womb as it squeezed tight, reminding her of its hunger.

There were…she concentrated. Yes. Several candidates within a mile of here who would welcome her with open arms. Several hundred, if she expanded her search. A billion lonely souls, calling out for her guidance and her love, if she wanted to abandon this moment and this man.

But did she? How could she leave him like this? So hurt, so…enraged. How could she justify walking away from that level of pain? Walking away would give truth to the nagging anxiety that her heart really had disappeared down a deep dark hole.

Perhaps I really have forgotten how to love. Heartless, or helpful? It is up to me to make that decision. I can choose, right now. One path. Or the other.
The night breeze crept across her skin like a sign from some of the gods, and in that moment she knew that Hephaestus was not laughing. Neither was Ares. The deformed god of blacksmiths and volcanoes, her one-time husband Heph who had been treated horribly at her hands, and her powerful lover Ares, god of war himself, both had hearts bigger than that of the goddess of love. She could feel their well-wishes in this quest to rediscover her essence.

Laughter began to bubble even as tears dribbled down her cheeks. When she flicked out her tongue to the side and caught one of them, the taste of the sea filled her mouth. Salt. A symbol of truth in some religions on this earth. There was no choice really, in the end. Immortality was a bitch if you had to live too long with self-loathing.

An erotic romance with a difference, focusing on gender identity as the key theme. It features a post-surgery, male-to-female transsexual struggling to define her identity as a woman in a world that stigmatizes anyone outside the mainstream.

A modern-day transsexual woman and an ancient Greek god of desire is an unusual pairing, but the power of Aphrodite works in the most mysterious ways.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: IMMORTAL SEDUCTION is the fourth novella in Jennifer Lynne’s Gods of Love series focusing on the Erotes and the goddess Aphrodite. Immortal Seduction is Aphrodite’s story and one that contains a four-way (MFMM). The God’s of Love series is intended for adult readers and not recommended for anyone under the age of eighteen.

Jennifer Lynne has brought together a storyline whereby three friends must learn to let go of the past-one that is mired in pain, guilt and the realization that life goes on when others have died.

Enter the goddess of love-Aphrodite-a woman who is missing something or someone from her life and with the help of her three sons, Aphrodite will discover that the what or who she was missing are three human friends who have suffered together with the guilt over the death of a friend and fellow firefighter.

Jennifer blends the Ancient Greek gods with a contemporary storyline whereby the gods are unprepared for the love and emotional pull of the humans that have stolen their hearts and their souls. Each story focuses on one of the sons of Aphrodite and Aphrodite herself, and each story will see a resolution to a loneliness that had been buried deep behind emotions and power of lust, love and sin for both the gods and the humans they love.

Gods of Love is an amazing series that addresses many issues including transgendered individuals to loneliness and pain. Jennifer pulls the reader into the storylines where we can feel the emotional turmoil that each of her characters brings to the pages of her series.

excerpt

 

Rated Adults-only, 18+

Her perfume filled his nostrils and a strange roar in his eardrums slowed his thinking until he couldn’t concentrate, couldn’t do anything except sip from her proffered well of moist sweet nectar when he leaned in to take the kiss. Her lips were both spicy and sweet at the same time. The taste was exotic and new, and it blended perfectly with the familiar whiskey-laced breath of his friend as Hugh joined them in a three-way kiss like none he had ever experienced before.

Time ceased to exist as he dipped into her mouth and supped. The ever-present vestiges of his anguish receded as hunger took its place. Desire. Craving. That was all he knew, especially when her moan vibrated across the back of his throat. First one, then the other of them plunged with a tongue here, nipped there with eager teeth. He sucked at the fullness of her bottom lip and felt in turn the delicate flicker of her tongue as she rasped it across his own.

Demanding, then asking. Dominating, then pleading. The dance went on and he couldn’t tell who was in control. Or out of it. He didn’t care. If she wanted to be in charge, that was okay by him. He would happily go wherever she led.

Her body was as soft as it had promised to be, and yet somehow hard and unyielding. Earlier she’d been wearing a white dress, but now she was naked between them. How was that possible? He groaned and heard an answering sound erupt out of Hugh before his friend leaned down to take one of her long pink nipples into his mouth. Blindly he reached out and grappled the other breast, weighing its enticing heaviness in his palm.

Slow this down. Catch our breath.

SEX CLUB SECRETS (Gods of Love #3) by Jennifer Lynne-a review

Sex Club Secrets

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 24, 2013

Sometimes love can flourish in the most unexpected places… Ella has been in love with her best friend Kade for as long as they’ve known each other. But her love has not been returned, and when the bisexual Kade ends a relationship without showing any signs of becoming romantic towards her, she decides to call a halt on her unrequited love and try something new by accepting an invitation to a celebrated Melbourne sex club.

Anteros is one of the erotes, an aspect of Eros and the ancient Greek god of requited and unrequited love. He has heard the call of these would-be lovers and intends to show them that friendship can sometimes be the best place to kick start a lasting romantic relationship.

**************

REVIEW

NOTE:  Story line contains strong adult content and M/M/F situations.

SEX CLUB SECRETS is the third storyline in Jennifer Lynne’s Gods of Love erotic romance series featuring The Erotes-the Gods of Love and sons of Aphrodite.

Like the previous two story lines, Sex Club Secrets focuses on one of the Erotes- Anteros is our tortured God of Requited and Unrequited Love which is ironic since Anteros feels the pain and sorrow of unrequited love with each encounter. With his ability to ‘hear’ people’s most intimate thoughts and fantasies, Anteros wields his power and issues a special invitation to Ella for one night of passionate sex and love. And to Ella’s surprise she accepts the offer, hoping her BFF of ten years –Kade-will accept her personal invitation as well.

Sex Club Secrets delves into one woman’s secret fantasies and Anteros the god of requited and unrequited love is willing to make all of those fantasies come true. But Kade is reluctant to allow Ella to enter into the Club alone and finds himself on the outside watching as Ella succumbs to her passions with another man.

Sex Club Secrets is a story of secret fantasies, passionate sex and the loneliness of one god whose only wish is to be loved and wanted-for himself. Jennifer takes the reader on a short journey into the world of make believe, sex gods and passionate encounters.

APHRODITE CALLING by Jennifer Lynne-cover reveal

APHRODITE CALLING by Jennifer Lynne-cover reveal

Sometimes it takes the power of the gods to reveal the woman within…

It’s here – the cover for my upcoming release, Aphrodite Calling (Gods of Love #2). Yay! Designed by the talented Kim Killion and her team at Hot Damn Designs, I think the cover captures the essence of my erotic romance about a post-op transsexual who wants to be accepted as a woman…and needs the power of an ancient Greek god to show her how to come out from behind the mask and embrace her womanhood.

Aphrodite Calling is the second in the Gods of Love series that began in Platinum Passion with Pothos, god of sexual yearning, and his menage relationship with a married couple in need of a spark in their love lives.

Gina: a woman with a secret past

Thirty-two year old Gina is forced to confront her fears when she attends a high school reunion. Fifteen years may be a long time for some, but when you’ve been through a life-changing experience, fifty years would not be long enough to escape the difficulties of the past. For Gina was born a man, attended high school as a boy, and she has only now returned in an effort to put paid to the past so she can begin to live her life without continuing fear of loneliness and rejection.

Himeros: god of sexual desire on the edge of burnout

Himeros is one of the erotes, an aspect of Eros, and as such it is his duty to answer the call of sexual desire whenever a human needs him. But he has been living among humans too long and his energy has waned. When he decides to accept one last call he finds a woman who is unique. A woman who answers his own call and offers everything he desires. And more. A woman who understands the whole human experience, from every perspective. Has he finally found the one with whom even a god of desire could find fulfillment?

After all, forever is a long time to be alone.

Each of the Gods of Love stories are designed as stand-alone novellas, but are united with a common theme: the erotes. In this version of the erotes’ myth, my gods of love are the children of Aphrodite and aspects of the primal god of desire – Eros. Each of these gorgeous gods has a role in modern day society – answering the call of desire and interacting with people in need. If you’d like the chance to try the first Gods of Love story before Aphrodite Calling is released, menage a trois romance Platinum Passion (a TRR Best Book of 2011 nominee in GLBT Fantasy Romance) is still only 0.99 cents at Amazon, Barnes & Noble or All Romance ebooks.
