Daryl Devore has dropped by to share an excerpt from Book One of her "Two Hearts, One Love" series "What Happens in Bangkok" But before we start, I asked her a couple of questions and I'd like to share her answers here:
Tell me a bit about yourself and what
inspired you to become a writer?
I live on the
Ontario side of the Ontario/Quebec border. When I'm not writing, I'm a yoga
class. As to what inspired me - I learned to print and was able then to put my
stories on paper.
What is your greatest temptation:
In men: Matt
Damon – hands down – no question.
In food:
chocolate – no wait- cookies – oooh chocolate cookies
In clothes: jeans
– I'm a pretty casual person although I love checking out $900 Prada heels.
Now, on to Bangkok...

To save Darien's
life his brother asks, "Can you walk in high heels?"

Excerpt:
Erika dipped a chip into the salsa and popped it
into her mouth. "I can't decide. Mexi-taco or Cali-taco."
"Huh?"
"Number twenty and twenty one."
"Simple." He placed his menu on the
table and picked up a chip. "Get one of each, but make sure there's room
for dessert. 'Cause I want a Churro. Or maybe the Sweet Chimichanga."
"Or both." She popped a salsa-covered
chip into her mouth.
"Awesome." Darien dipped a chip and bit
into it, trying not to look like he couldn't tear his gaze from her. The
elegance of her moves as her fingers unfolded and reached for a chip. The curve
of her wrist as she scooped some salsa. The jolt in his body when she opened
her mouth and licked her lips. Watching the chip disappear past her teeth was
too much for his control. His cock sprang to life. He'd never be able to look
at chips and salsa the same way again.
The waitress placed the tray of monkey wings on
the table. Erika squealed as they both reached for one. The happiness spread
from her face to her body. Her nipples were visible, pressing against her
dress. The pressure in his slacks increased. Her lips parted. He stifled a
groan. She slid the piece of meat into her mouth and lightly bit into it. Her
teeth grazed against the chicken meat, pulling it from the bone. A dribble of
sauce escaped. She flicked her tongue across her bottom lip, closed her eyes
and heaved a delighted sigh. Sweat ran down Darien's back. Yes, the wings were
spicy. But the vision across from him was twenty jalapenos hotter. She picked
up another wing. Darien trembled, grabbed his drink and chugged half of it. It
did nothing to cool his soaring temperature, or reduce the swelling in his
pants.
The visual of her lips wrapped around the chicken
wing morphed into her lips around his fully aroused cock. As she pulled the
next wing from her mouth, he swallowed–hard. He wiped his brow. "This is
hot."
"Not too hot for you?" She placed her
index finger in her mouth and slid it out, licking off the sauce.
"Not really, but I just might have to take a
cold shower." He grabbed another wing. She reached for one. Darien
shuddered. He never knew eating Mexican could be so erotic.
Blurb:
Erika Bailey, owner/manager of a drag queen club in Bangkok,
Thailand has happily settled into all aspects of her new life, except for her
lack of a love life. When a new diva auditions, Erika is bewildered over her
instant attraction to the blond God, Apollo.
Darien Scott is on vacation after a world tour and mistakenly figures the safest place to be is at The Black Dragon with the head of a Triad. When the club is hit, Darien is the only person to get out alive. Now he's running from the police and a Triad. Mistake number 1.

Review –
I loved this
story. From the very beginning I was on the edge of my seat until I finished it
several hours later. I couldn't put the book down. I needed to know what was
going to happen to Darien and Erika next. Fast paced from the first word and
with several surprises I'd highly recommend this book.
5 Stars
This book got me
hooked from the opening line with Darien puzzling as to why blood was seeping
from his wolf tattoo. The chemistry between Darien and Erika sizzles from the
first time they meet, even though she’s no idea who he is, nor the fact that
he’s actually straight.
What I loved about this book was that it isn’t just about Darien and Erika. A whole cast of characters are vividly brought to life and though I didn’t like them all, particularly Gan I seriously wanted to gag whenever he appeared, they added another dimension to the story.
The action is fast paced, there are enough twists and turns in the plot to keep you guessing and the romance was hot. A great read, especially if you love stories in exotic locations.
