Entangled in Love Character Interview and Giveaway with Rosalie Lario

Valentine Character Interview and Giveaway

By Rosalie Lario

Today I thought it would be fun to feature Cresso, the main characters from Heart of the Incubus, my novella set in the Demons of Infernum world. It takes place late spring, shortly after Genevieve and Cresso get together, but he’s been in love with her far longer than that...

Rosalie:  I’ll start off with a brief introduction. Cresso, you work as a biochemist for Elcorp Laboratory, which is an Otherworlder research lab funded by the council governing travel between dimensions. This is where you met Dr. Genevieve Russell, right?    

Cresso:  Yes, Gen started working at Elcorp over a year ago. She’s a chemical analyst...one of the most brilliant in existence, if I may add.

Rosalie:  So, from the moment you both met, it was love at first sight.

Cresso:  Not exactly. She hated my guts.

Rosalie:  I still find that incredibly hard to believe.

Cresso:  I know. It wasn’t until recently that I realized her feelings toward me weren’t personal, but based on her past experiences. To put it plainly, her ex-fiance was a douchebag.

Rosalie:  What does that have to do with you?

Cresso:  She walked in on her ex with two other women. Since she knew I was an incubus and survive off sex, she assumed I was the same kind of man.

Rosalie:  Well...in a way, weren’t you? I mean, you weren’t necessarily known for living the life of a monk before you two got together.

Cresso:  That was before Gen. She’s changed my life completely. I know it sounds corny, but she’s made me whole.  

Rosalie:  Okay, since Valentine’s Day just passed, I was hoping you would repeat a story Gen told me about what you did last V-Day.

Cresso:  Crap, she told you about that?

Rosalie:  You know I know everything about your personal life.

Cresso:  Ah f***. Okay, here’s the deal. This past Valentine’s Day, she didn’t know how I truly felt about her, and I still assumed she hated me, but...she always seemed so serious and caught up in her work. So sad. I wanted to make her smile.

Rosalie:  So what’d you do?

Cresso:  So I, uh... *mutters something under breath*

Rosalie:  What’s that?

Cresso:  I slid a box of Fauchon chocolates into her lab when she wasn’t looking. Seems obvious and trite, I know, but I noticed that she has a weakness for that brand of chocolates. Didn’t tell her they were from me, of course. She might’ve tossed them back in my face if she’d known.

Rosalie:  So she didn’t get suspicious about receiving chocolates from a mystery admirer?

Cresso:  I left a note saying they were a gift from the board of directors at Elcorp. They do give gifts for the holidays, so it didn’t seem like such a big stretch.

Rosalie:  Aww, that’s so sweet!

Cresso:  Stop, you’ll make me blush.

Rosalie:  I didn’t think an incubus could get embarrassed about anything.

Cresso:  Guess you found my weak spot. Anyway, the chocolates put a smile on her face, so they were well worth it.

Rosalie:  That was an awfully nice thing to do for someone who professed to dislike you.

Cresso:  What can I say? No matter how she felt about me, I knew I loved her. Seemed like such a small thing to do, really.

Phone rings, and Cresso pulls it out of his pocket and reads the display.

Cresso:  Gotta go. That’s Gen. She’s downstairs waiting for me.

Rosalie:  Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Cresso rises and starts for the door.

Rosalie:  Oh, Cresso.

Cresso:  Yes?

Rosalie:  I hope you two stay together forever. I truly do.

Cresso:  *Smiles widely* No worries. We will.

Not after meeting Genevieve Russell, the sexy scientist who works with him at Elcorp Laboratory. And she wants absolutely nothing to do with him.

After her fiancé broke her heart, Genevieve has had enough of womanizers. She’s determined to steer clear of sexy-as-sin Dr. Taylor, despite the fact that his incubus allure makes her want to rip his clothes off.

DEMONS OF INFERNUM - Book One by Rosalie Lario

Keegan lives to exact revenge on the evil demon who sired and abused him. When his father devises a plan to bring on the apocalypse, he and his three half-brothers, interdimensional bounty hunters for the Elden Council, are charged with capturing and delivering their father for punishment.

Art gallery owner Brynn Meyers has no idea that her ability to read memories embedded in objects and drain people of their life force means she has demon ancestry. Unfortunately for Brynn, she’s also the key to raising an ancient zombie army, which puts her on every demon’s Most Wanted List.

And no one wants her more than Keegan’s father.

Keegan must protect Brynn from his father by any means necessary, but he’ll have to learn to harness the other half of his genetics—the far deadlier, uncontrollable half—when he starts to fall for the one woman standing between him and the vengeance he so desperately seeks. The one woman he’ll never be able to resist.

Holiday Gift Giving: Top 5 DVDs for the Paranormal Lover in Your Life

by Rosalie Lario

Ah, it’s almost Christmas...that time of year when lights decorate buildings, people are filled with holiday cheer, and you have to desperately figure out what the f*#% to get everyone on your list.

Needless to say, all the joyousness can become a little overwhelming when you’re trying to guess what others would like to receive as gifts. When in doubt, I figure you can’t go wrong with getting someone a movie or television series they would enjoy. So just for fun, and with the caveat that I don’t do scary (I’ve learned the hard way that they give me nightmares that last for months L),here’s my list of the top 5 DVDs to get for the paranormal lover in your life:

1. Supernatural: Two ghost hunters, a ‘67 Impala, and a trunk-full of weapons. That’s pretty much a recipe for good times. And if the recipient of your gift is a woman, the fact that the ghost hunters are a set of hunky brothers don’t hurt none either. Pretty much every season rocks, so why not start them off with Season 1?

2. Smallville: Okay, this is actually a show based on a superhero, but it’s still chockfull of paranormal aspects. Who could forget the Wall of Weird? Since the series is now over, you could even get them all 10 seasons in one complete boxed set!

3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: This show has been off the air for close to ten years now, but it’s still a good one. Buffy is pretty much the forerunner to modern Urban Fantasy. Who doesn’t enjoy a kickass female on a mission to save the world? And the Spike-Buffy relationship? Whew! Spring for the complete boxed set with this one.

4. Devil’s Advocate: I saw this movie in the theatre without having any clue what it was about, and boy was I surprised! I expected it to be a legal thriller, but it was so much more. It’s still one of my favorite paranormal movies to watch, and I think it makes a great gift.

5. Ghostbusters: Another oldie but goodie. I personally loved the sequel even more than the first movie in the series, and have you heard? They’re talking about doing a third! I really hope that happens, cause if so, I’m totally there!

For you paranormal lovers out there, what movies or television shows would you recommend to those who enjoy the genre?

If you are looking for paranormal romance to read this holiday season, Touch of the Angel, Book 3 in my Demons of Infernum series, released this past month.

Here’s a blurb:

After months of no work, interdimensional bounty hunter Ronin Meyers jumps at the chance to locate an incubus who’s using succubi as murder weapons. Faced with deportation to hellish Infernum if he fails, Ronin will stop at nothing to take out the incubus and anyone else involved. Even the beautiful succubus who stole his heart—and nearly his life—during the most mind-blowing hour of his existence.

Night after night, Amara and her fellow succubi are forced to extract special abilities from the strongest Otherworlders for their psychotic master’s growing collection. When the gorgeous angel-demon hybrid she believed to be dead captures her, Amara is both stunned and elated.

But the happily ever after Amara’s dreamed about will have to wait. Before she and Ronin can find salvation, they must bring down the madman hellbent on destroying everything—and everyone—they love. And Ronin and Amara are at the top of his list…

Halloween Costumes: Or Are They?

Halloween is not just for kids. It’s also the favorite time of year for a group of people most humans don’t even know about: the Others.

Vampires, demons, and werewolves. What if you found out those things were true, but with a twist? They aren’t the monsters you feared growing up, but species of beings from different dimensions who travel here to Earth via an interdimensional portal. Normally they glamour their appearances to look human, but Halloween is the one time of year where they can let it all hang out. Blue skin? No problem, you can pass it off as body paint. Razor-sharp claws? Must be fake.

Half animal, half man? It’s gotta be a really cool costume, right? Right?

Those who know about the Otherworlds accept that the strange things they see on this one crazy night of the year could be all too real.

So here are some of the beings you might see out this coming Halloween:

• Demons: A race from a dark, hellish dimension called Infernum. They are stronger and faster than humans, and they’re very diverse. Some, like the aviritia heroes of my Demons of Infernum series, look mostly human. Others are far more grotesque. Yoda and the gremlins? Yeah… they’re based on nagora demons.

• Vampires: Creatures born on the Enevoran dimension, or made by a blood exchange with another vampire, thereby altering the DNA. Vampires have porcelain skin, red lips, and fangs that distend during feeding.

• Shifters: Also from Enevora, they can shift from humanlike to animal form. Wolf, panther, lion—you name it, there’s a shifter for it. There are even some who shift into animals we’ve never heard of.

• Fae: These creatures range from dark fae—with their blue-gray flesh and long, dark hair—to air sylphs, from brownies to pixies.

• Sirens: The legged cousin to the mermaid, sirens (both male and female) are sexy and stunning, with a fluid grace to their movement. They can also breathe underwater, so don’t ever challenge them to a game of bobbing for apples!

This is just a small sampling of the many types of creatures living here on Earth, passing themselves off as humans. So next time you’re at a Halloween party and you see an alluring vampire or a cute faerie pass you by, ask yourself the question:

Is that a Halloween costume, or could it possibly be real?
