Guest Blog and Giveaway with Michele Hauf




Blurb for HER VAMPIRE HUSBAND:

She may resist his bite, but she can't resist his charms…

Werewolf princess Blu Masterson won't allow her seductive vampire husband to consummate their marriage with his bite, marking her forever. Alone in a secluded estate with her sworn enemy, Blu curses the marriage arranged to bring their rival nations together, especially since Creed Saint-Pierre calls out to her most feral desires.

When Blu uncovers her pack's secret plot to destroy the vampire nation—and Creed—she is forced to confront her growing feelings for her sexy undead husband. Will she choose the only life she's ever known or accept his vampire bite?

Hi everyone! Thanks to Roxanne for inviting me here today. I'm doing a blog tour through April, and at each blog while be chatting about a different aspect of HER VAMPIRE HUSBAND. Check my blog for the dates and places if you want to follow along.

I wrote up a list of the various parts of the story I could blog about, and guess what turned up for this particular guest post? Sex! Hee.

HER VAMPIRE HUSBAND is one of my lustier, more erotic stories (though I would not label it erotica by any means). It seems the more opposite my hero and heroine are, the more they really set off the fireworks behind the bedroom door. I've done vampires before, so knew that their sexual habits were pretty normal. (Well, as normal as amorous biting and bloodletting can get.) I've also done a male werewolf (Severo from MOON KISSED), and knew that when werewolves mate they shift to their man-beast form to have sex. Yeah, that was an interesting scene (see MOON KISSED if you are interested).

But in Her Vampire Husband, Blu, the werewolf is female, and I hadn't quite decided how sex should work for her. I think I spent a few days muddling over it. My hubby asked what I was thinking about. I muttered, "Werewolf sex." (He really should know better than to ask me what I'm pondering. It's always interesting and sometimes a little outrageous.) I really wasn't cool with the idea of the female werewolf shifting to a beastly form and getting all hairy for the big sex scene that brings hero (Creed) and heroine together. But she had to shift because the male werewolves do. How to do that without turning readers off, and the hero?

I decided a partial shift was the way to go. The heroine becomes more, stronger, a little taller, more sensual and animalistic, but no fur (maybe some talons though). It worked for me, and it gave the hero a real challenge when facing this uber strong woman who wanted sex, yet wasn't willing to let him at her without first proving he was capable. Talons slashed. Furniture flew. And I believe the bed broke somewhere around the middle of the scene.

The hero, Creed, was capable, let me tell you.

Though I didn't take it beyond that, in my notes, I know that a female werewolf cannot get pregnant unless she's fully shifted to werewolf form, but Blu and Creed are simply enjoying marriage and loving one another right now. I don't see children in their future. Yet. :-)

I have a set of THE HIGHWAYMAN and MOON KISSED to give away to one commenter.

Let's chat about the sexy scenes! Obviously, reading paranormal, you expect to encounter some different sexy scenes.

What pairing of paranormal creatures, or interesting sensual scenes have you enjoyed most?

A Review of Her Vampire Husband by Michele Hauf

A female werewolf puts the “P” back in pizzazz as she struts her stuff on her fateful wedding day to a vampire lord. HER VAMPIRE HUSBAND is a deliciously fiendish story mixed with a hot and cold romance.

Blu Masterson, a stunning werewolf princess, is in for a big surprise. Her wicked father, Amandus Masterson, pack leader of the werewolves, conspires with the vampire nation to marry off his only daughter, to a vampire lord of Nava, one of the oldest vampire tribes, in order to restore peace to both sides. Blu is not happy one bit! She already has a fiancĂ©e named Ryan. However, her father doesn’t approve of him. How she wishes her mother were there to confide in. Her father intimated to her when she was young, that her mom left them. In the back of Blu’s mind, she wonders what really happened. She also has an uneasy feeling about the whole marriage business. It is mere minutes to alter time. Vampires, ugh! She certainly doesn’t want any longtooth breathing on her, let alone kissing her. Does she change her mind when she sees her new husband-to-be?

Creed Saint-Pierre, a devastatingly handsome vampire, with many secrets, is to wed the spoiled princess Blu Masterson. What did he get himself into, he wonders. When he sees Blu make her sassy way up to the altar, he is taken aback. What is up with her hair? It is lime green! However, her voluptuous, statuesque body makes him catch his breath. Be still my heart! Marriage to Blu might not be so bad after all. Will they fall in love, just for the spell of it?

HER VAMPIRE HUSBAND is an exciting blend of thrills, chills, wit, romance and real emotion that will leave readers wanting more. A spoiled werewolf princess and a dangerously handsome vampire are wed to restore peace to their dueling nations. Michele Hauf delivers a winning combination of undeniably gritty danger and a deliciously sexy risky romance. The tension is high between this unusual pair as they strike out a balance in their arranged marriage. Boundaries are set by Blu as Creed works his magical charms on her to win her over. This unlikely couple shoots more fireworks than the Forth of July when they are together. The plot is filled with many intricacies and unsuspecting twists galore! Love and deception plays an important role in the story. HER VAMPIRE HUSBAND is an enormously, engaging novel filled with nonstop action that you will find yourself reading again and again! I absolutely loved it!
