About the Book:

His claim on the Phoenix and her host will finally unite them…or destroy them all.

Amelia Carter has one goal: to stay alive and keep the Phoenix within from falling victim to the evil that has kept them on the run for the past year. With the Phoenix’s power of sight, they are able to stay one step ahead, until Caleb Reed catches up with them, sparking desires beyond her wildest fantasies.

A shapeshifting hellhound and paranormal bounty hunter, Caleb finally ends his century-long search for his runaway mate. When he discovers his charge is the Phoenix who fled his bed over a hundred years ago, he turns the tables on the crime lord who seeks to capture her for her powers. Keeping his mate safe becomes his priority, because he won’t fail her again.

Excerpt:

Amelia never knew if she was stuck in a dream or one of the Phoenix’s visions. Nor did she care as long as she got to see the sexy, dark demon that brought her pleasure beyond anything she’d ever experienced. The scene was the same. A dimly lit room with a large-ass bed dressed in black satin sheets, taking up most of the space. Straight out of an erotic romance novel, right down to the hero, who stood beside the bed, waiting for her.

Dark hair framed a masculine face. Even though she couldn’t see his eyes, she knew they watched her. She felt it like a physical touch. Sexual heat rolled off of him in thick waves. She found it impossible to turn away, not that she could anyway. He captivated her.

“Come here, Nix.”

She shivered at his soft, husky command. The one thing Amelia didn’t understand was the nickname. The man—no, demon—had always called her that. Or was it the Phoenix’s nickname? The bird within her wouldn’t talk about it, and she remained silent while they’d relived the erotic dream over and over for the past couple of months.

As if she had no control over her body, Amelia walked farther into the room, not stopping until she reached the bed. Then she climbed onto it and kneeled, facing him. Leaning into her, the demon smiled before reaching out to stroke her cheek. A soft moan escaped her. Electrifying energy flowed between them, sending tingles skittering all over her.

When his lips touched hers, she melted. A sense of belonging and security filled her. With this male, no one would ever hurt her. She knew that down to the bone.

The internal flame that belonged to the Phoenix raced through her veins. The male hissed out a groan and pressed his hard cock into her thigh. Her pussy ached for his touch. Gripping his large shoulders, she scored his skin with her nails and moved her hips against him.

No matter how many times she’d lived the dream-memory-vision, the intense spark of heat and raw passion ignited like it was their first time.

He broke the kiss and trailed his lips along her jaw to her neck. Sucking in a breath, she whimpered when he bit down gently on the sensitive part of her throat. Damn, he was going to kill her with the teasing.

One rough hand slid down her side, which was bare to him. She didn’t remember undressing. Then again, she never did.

It’s just a dream. Go with it.

A squeeze of her hip jerked her attention to his features. His dark brown gaze held hers. A flash of silver rippled through his irises right before a primal growl rumbled from his chest. Wolf was the first word that came to mind, but that didn’t seem correct.

“What kind of demon are you?”

He didn’t answer. He never did. It was as if he couldn’t hear her. Was it even her dream? But there was no doubt it was her body he pleasured.

Gliding his hand across her belly, he captured her mouth in another hard, demanding kiss. His tongue dipped inside, searching for hers. Just as their tongues twined, he slipped two fingers inside her. Desire burst within her and built with each thrust of his fingers, pushing her over the edge.

“We have to go! Amelia! Wake up!”

Reveiew:


This is a kick butt novella about a Phoenix, her host Amelia and her mate, Caleb. Hunting demons, hawt dreams and between the covers scenes and a sassy connection all play a part in making this addition to the Wicked line a sassy and fun read. I loved the way this author crafted her story of the Phoenix and the mate potential with Caleb. Great read!

4/5

Tiger's Claim Blog Tour

Thanks you Lia for stopping by the blog today! Here are a few questions to spice up the tour.

How did you get started with paranormal romance?

It was a light bulb moment. LOL. I started reading paranormal romance about five years ago and fell in love with the different worlds. I decided I’d try to write my own.

 What are your favorite characters to write about?

I love characters who are strong, compassionate, loyal, and funny.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

Chocolate

Horror movies or classic film?

Horror movie

Cheeseburger or salad?

Depends on my mood. LOL

Pantster or Plotter?

Plotter

What was the toughest scene you ever had to write?

I recently had to hurt one of my heroes in my WIP.

The anatomy of a sex scene: how do you construct a bite your nails hot scene?

These are tough for me because I can’t write it with other people around. It’s weird, I know. I’m getting better though. Now I just write it all out, then go back and add the feeling, sights, smells, bites and so on.

What is your next writing project?

I’m in editing with book 3 in my Ashwood Falls series and writing book 3 in The Divinities series. Plus I just started plotting a new series that I will be co-authoring with my BFF Carrie Ann Ryan.

A Tiger’s Claim

Ashwood Falls: Book One

Lia Davis

As the Alpha’s only daughter Shayna Andrews has always been treated like a rare gem, protected like royalty, and she’s suffocating.  Her longing to be independent has driven her to sneak out one evening after dinner. After relishing in being able to run free without an escort, she finds herself face-to-face with the enemy, miles from home, and nearly loses her life until a lone wolf comes to her aid.

Travis Hunter’s main objective is to destroy the Onyx Pack—a group of drug using, murdering rogue shifters. His seek-and-destroy plans are put on hold when he rescues a female from a brutal attack. The beautifully exotic tiger shifter, Shayna, stirs a passion he thought died with his long-lost mate.

When Shay’s first heat cycle slams into her, Travis has no choice but to submit to her needs—and his own. But there is always a price to sleeping with the Pack princess. Not only will they have to face her Pack, Shay and Travis will have to deal with a mating that is beyond a single night and could have consequences more than either of them had thought. And when Travis finds out Shay wears the enemy’s brand, things will go from bad to worse.

Warning: One alpha female who doesn't take no for an answer, a wolf with more on the line than just his heart, and a combustible attraction that's sure to cause more than one sweaty night.

Review:

The opening scene of Tiger Claim was a great lead in.  I felt what Shay was experiencing-the annoyance at the men in her life (oh yeah!), the feeling of being caged and the wonderful excitement of freedom she got from being free in the woods, even for awhile. But you know what they say about good things lasting...When some creeps show up and try to have their way with Shay (hey, that sort of rhymes) Travis (hunky!!!) steps in and saves the day. (Oh no...I think I have a sexy Dr. Seuss thing happening here. Rhyming again!)

Throughout the book, the sheer force of nature that develops between Shay and Travis was spellbinding and I felt it all the way to my toes. A good shape shifter romance with some smokin hot sex scenes and characters you grow to care about. Great read! If this is the start to the series, then I am so there for the rest of it. Great story Lia. :)
