“What's up, Jase?  Why did you almost drag me out of the party?” she asked and leaned against one of the thick pilings for the boardwalk.

He braced his forearm just above her head on the support and shifted until her warm breath spilled against his face.  She smelled of something flowery and of Nicole and he inhaled deeply to memorize that aroma.

With his free hand, he brushed away a windblown lock of her hair and then skimmed his fingers down her smooth cheek.  She trembled beneath his touch and he hardened as he imagined how smooth the rest of her skin would be and how she would shiver against him while they made love.

“I want you, Nickie.”

Her eyes widened in surprise and the words rushed from her.  “Hell no.  I don't believe you.”

“Believe it, Nickie.  I’ve wanted you for a long time,” he said and moved ever closer until his body was pressed to hers.

At that touch, she sucked in a shaky breath and closed her eyes.  In a husky voice she said, “Don't play with me, Jase.”

He chuckled and her eyes snapped open to meet his gaze.  “Babe, I am so not playing with you.  At least not yet,” he said and dropped his hand to trace the rounded swells of her breasts visible above the bodice of her killer dress.  It was the kind of dress that invited him to touch and to see.

BLOG TOUR - REVIEW The Claimed by Caridad Pineiro @ForeverRomance @CaridadPineiro

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2012 | Series: Sin Hunters (Book 2)

THE CLAIMED


Victoria Johnson loves her life. She's her own boss in a quaint beachside town, and has great friends who keep her grounded. If only they knew who she really is: an heiress to an ancient race who possesses astonishing superhuman powers. It's Victoria's duty to restore her clan of Light Hunters to their former glory by choosing the perfect mate. In Christopher Sombrosa, she just may have found him. Strong, smart, and successful, Christopher exudes a powerful energy. Their connection is sensual, irresistible-and forbidden.

A member of the Shadow Hunter clan, Christopher has defied his own father to lead his people away from affliction and violence. Yet he cannot ignore his duty to carry on his ancient bloodline. Stunningly beautiful and brimming with an erotic life force, Victoria is everything Christopher ever hoped for in a mate . . . but as a Light Hunter, she's his mortal enemy. Together, they could unite their warring tribes. But murderous factions on both sides don't want peace-and they'll stop at nothing to keep light and darkness apart forever . 



From the Author

I've been reading romances for as long as I can remember, going back to when I was twelve and read and re-read WUTHERING HEIGHTS all summer long.  At one point the the librarian told me I could not take the book out again since other people needed a chance to read it!

Denied my broody Heathcliff and doomed Catherine, I turned my attentions to what some might say were an odd mix:  Shakespeare and Ian Fleming.

It's safe to say that those choices as a young reader were later reflected in what I wrote, especially in THE CLAIMED, the second book in the Sin Hunters series.

Action.  Adventure. Angst.  I've incorporated all those elements that I love into this tale of a determined and broody alpha hero, Christopher Sombrosa, and a woman who is the absolute wrong choice for him, Victoria Johnson.

So why is Victoria not the woman for Christopher?  Think Romeo and Juliet, Capulet and Montague.

Victoria is destined to be the leader of her Light Hunter clan while Christopher is not only one of the Dark Ones, he is likewise supposed to assume command of his Shadow Hunter people.

Add to the mix some rather nefarious villains in the form of Christopher's father and ex-fiancée and the betrayal of someone dear to Victoria, and I think you'll find THE CLAIMED will keep you turning pages until the very end.

I am very glad to say, however, that despite the hopeless Catherine, Juliet, and assorted Bond girls who could never win James's heart, there is a path to a new and exciting place for Christopher and Victoria.

I hope you will enjoy their fight for a better tomorrow for not only themselves, but their race of Hunters.

MY THOUGHTS

LOVED IT


Victoria is set to run the clan of the Light Hunters as well as mating with an perfect choice and protect humans from the Shadow Hunters.  Both groups can draw power from the elements but the Shadow Hunters prey on humans and the Light Hunters to gather their strength.  Her clan seeks to keep the Shadow Hunters in check.  Christopher is of the Shadow clan and he a few of his companions have discovered the ways of the Light Hunters by feeding on the elements instead of others and thus avoiding the virus that is claiming the members of his tribe.  Of course she is thrown together with Christopher in a Romeo and Juliet setting instead of her intended mate of Adam.  Of course, there are factions that would rather not have these two together like Chirstopher's ex, Maya who reminded me a bit of Jessica Rabbit (I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way) and Rafael, her guard. 


Even though this is a paranormal romance, this story would still be a wonderful sci-fi fantast if it were left out.  The romance actually enhances the supernatural elements of the tale.  I thought is was really a nice touch when the two lovers combined auras instead of the full on typical love story.  Sammi is probably my favorite minor character with her roller derby ways and that she turns out to be more than just Victoria's friend.  I hope the next installment will explore more of her background since what is alluded to in this one is quite interesting.  Fans of Gena Showalter and Larissa Ione should really enjoy this series.

Book Trailer: Sins of the Flesh by Caridad Piñeiro

GIVEAWAY & REVIEW: Stronger than Sin by Caridad Pinero

Description

Dr. Liliana Carrera nearly lost her life to Wardwell scientists. She won't let them harm other innocent victims, like her new patient, Jesse Bradford. The former pro athlete had the best hands in the NFL . . . until an injury forced him to undergo Wardwell's experimental gene therapy. Now Jesse's gorgeous body is superhuman-but his strength comes at a price.

With Wardwell threatening his family, Jesse can't tell Liliana all he knows. Yet he can't resist her compassion . . . or her healing, erotic touch. As their passion flares, Jesse's body becomes dangerous and volatile. For evil men are plotting to change the face of humanity-and will destroy whoever stands in their way.

From the Author

Dear Friends,

Thank you for the marvelous reception you gave to Sins of the Flesh. Your many letters and reviews were truly appreciated and I hope you will enjoy the next book - Stronger Than Sin - even more.

When Mick's sister, Dr. Liliana Carrera, walked onto the scene in the first book, I knew she had to get her own story. Her caring, loyalty to her brother and inner strength made her a special character. I had no doubt that a story where Liliana was the heroine would be emotionally compelling and filled with passion.  Such an intense and determined heroine demanded not only a sexy hero, but a strong one.

Jesse Bradford immediately came to mind. Inspired by the many sexy surfer types I encounter on my walks along the beach, Jesse was born and bred on the Jersey Shore. A former football player who had to leave the game he loves due to a crippling bone disease, he is a man who has lost his way, but is honorable, caring and compassionate. Jesse just needs to meet the right woman to guide him back to the right path in his life.

I fell in love with Jesse and Liliana and hope you will as well.  I'm also very happy to say that the SINS series will continue as the expanded SIN HUNTER series with The Lost (August 2011) and The Claimed (Spring 2012).

To celebrate the release of Stronger Than Sin when it hits shelves on October 26th, I'm having the ARE YOU STRONG ENOUGH? party and contest.  Visit caridad.com to find out how you can possibly win a Sony E-reader, $25 gift card or an assortment of other goodies!  We'll also be having some other surprises for you, including special pricing on SINS OF THE FLESH e-book.

Thank you for your support.

 MY THOUGHTS
LOVED IT
I am so sad I didn't read the first book in this series,  Sins of the Flesh, since I fell in love with the characters and writing style of Caridad Pinero.  I don't think that I was completely lost though because the first chapter brought me up to date on the details.  This one can really stand alone as far as plot goes.  I picked right up on the action and pretty much read this one straight through.  I think this is more urban fantasy than paranormal since ex football player, Jesse is infected with a mutated gene from a mad scientist at Wardwell.  Lilianna is a doctor looking to help cure her sister in law, infected with genes also. 

Again, I am trying not to give away too much plot here.There is plenty of action and the characters are nicely drawn.  I have read a few of Pinero's vampire romances and these will not disappoint if you are looking to fill in those hot stops. I have enjoyed all of her books.
