Lust After Death (Love-Bots, Book 1)
by Daisy
Harris
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In the Pacific Northwest, where life hurries
to keep pace with technology, a re-animated bride named Josie struggles to
escape her creator and to find her identity in the half-erased circuitry of her
mind and body.
Assassin Bane Connor just wants to get the girl to the Zombie
Underground and receive his payoff-a mental reset that will erase his memories
as well as his guilt. But an attack by a rival faction derails his rescue, and
the wide-eyed female whose circuitry requires a husband tears at his hardened
heart and ignites desire like he's never known.

Excerpt One:
She peered down at her wet fingers, confusion etched on her
angelic face, and then she gave her digit a tentative lick. Eyes wide with
surprise, the girl fed her finger farther into the bow of her mouth.
Ho-ly shit! His body sprung to attention, his nerve endings
strung taut as a bow.
Feeling like a peeping tom, Bane looked away from the
window, assessing the pebbles below his crates and a nearby bank of leaves and
weeds he could land on quietly. Then he gave a last glance through the window
and noticed her hand caressing the water’s surface.
A fascinated smile played at her lips. Damn, she was
beautiful, and not in some fake plastic surgery and programming way. She was
fresh, shiny, new—like she held the keys to paradise.
Fuck, he was drunk. The crates wobbled underneath him and
Bane let go of the windowsill with one hand, readying to jump. Really, he was
leaving.
Her ivory hand slid up her hospital gown and tugged at the
tie. The blue-striped, papery material sank from her shoulders to the floor,
revealing a pale, slender body that seemed to shimmer under the bright bathroom
lights.
Bane bit his bottom lip to stop from groaning out loud. His
hips bucked forward of their own accord. The crates tilted to the side and he
grabbed at the windowsill’s metal edging to right himself. His arms supported
his weight and he trapped the top crate between his legs and pulled the pile
back under his body, desperate for one more look. By the time he righted
himself, the girl had turned her back on him to step into the tub.
If he’d thought the front of her was nice… Her back was long
and delicate, her ass spectacular. Goose bumps rose on her skin and he could
almost imagine the feel of them under his fingertips. The girl must have
wondered about the water's temperature, because she bent forward at the hips to
test it.
His right hand dropped to cup the bulge in his pants. He was
a douche and a pervert. And he would jack off to this image for the rest of his
undead life. Which, now that he thought about it, would only be a few more
days.
Review:
This book has a whole new look on zombies and the things you can, should and should not do with undead flesh. Just sayin'. Josie and Bane are characters you can sympathize with and start to love as you watch them both awaken in different ways.
I can't wait to finish reading the book and find out more about Ms. Harris's unique take on the zombies in this story. Life and death will never be the same again! For depth of characterization, elements of dialog and original story line; this book is a 5/5. (And we aren't even talking about the steamy parts either. *wink*)
Ms. Harris has a great voice and excellent world building. As a fellow zombie fan and author, I was delighted at the subtle twists she uses to craft characters with minds of their own, even as they maneuver through their programming and physical limitations. Great read!

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Birkenstock-wearing
glamour girl and mother of two by immaculate conception, Daisy Harris still
isn't sure if she writes erotica. Her romances start out innocently enough.
However, her characters behave like complete sluts. Much to Miss Harris's
dismay the sex tends to get completely out of hand.
She writes
about fantastical creatures and about young men getting their freak on, and
she's never missed an episode of The Walking Dead.
