The
wonderful Melody Parks is with me today on Wicked Wanton Wednesday and I’m
hoping to finagle the directions to Cobalt Canyon, the setting for her new,
steamy, BDSM romance, Claiming Crystal. Imagine
being whisked away to a secluded mountain retreat with a sexy dark haired gorgeous
dominant man? Oh, my!
You’ve
got to clue us in, Melody. I’d hate to
resort to strong arm tactics. Ahem… Let’s start off with a little taste before I
get down to the interrogation. It could
get ugly, I might have to use harsh words, bold print and capital letters! LOL
Here we
go with one sexy snippet from Claiming Crystal….
*****
“Tell
Crystal to go away for a while,” he whispered, putting a loose strand of hair
behind her ear. “And let Miss Harman out to play.”
The rich
sound of his voice and those sexy gray eyes piercing into hers, beckoning her
to put aside her inhibitions and explore her darker desires as Miss Harman,
sent a spark of arousal through her. She could feel the blush on her cheeks,
but ignored it. “Okay,” she said softly, feeling him slip the wine cooler from
her fingers, a naughty smile playing at his lips as he turned for a moment,
setting it down on the ledge of the partition. When he turned back, she could
see the admiration in his eyes, making her belly stir excitedly.
“Are you
ready to learn more about your submission… Miss Harman?” he asked, helping her
to the small wooden platform that allowed her to lean back against the padded
leather while she structured herself to the X-shaped outline of the device.
“Yes, sir.”
Her voice held a nervous tremor as she placed her arms, legs, and feet in the
appropriate places, settling her head against the padded leather rest.
He
stepped up close to the device, its height allowing them to be eye level with
each other. “Do you remember your colors?” he asked, gliding his fingers up
each of her arms until his hands clasped her wrists.
“Yes,”
she breathed, looking at the way his hand engulfed her small wrist.
“How do
you feel right now?” His silky tone lingered in her ear as he trailed soft wet
kisses all the way to her clavicle.
“Green,”
she whimpered, trying to bring her hands up to the sides of his head, having
forgotten he held them until she felt his grip tighten.
“We’re
not using the restraints, but I want you to keep your hands right where they
are.” His lips were millimeters from hers. “I’m going to put the straps in your
hands. You will simply hold them, understand?”
“Yes, sir,”
she whispered, leaning forward to make contact with his lips, but he pulled
back just out of her reach.
“Behave, missy.
This is on my terms now.” A coy smile curled his lips as he released her
wrists, putting the soft leather straps in her palms. “I’m going to lower you
back now. Don’t be alarmed.”
Crystal’s
heart thumped wildly in her chest as the device tilted back. Flat on her back,
staring up at the big log rafters of the high ceiling, she heard it lock into
place.

The
Blurb:
After her
fear of commitment brings an abrupt end to yet another relationship, Crystal
Harman knows she is in desperate need of a major change in her life. With the
help of her best friend, that change comes in the form of Donaven Sharp, the
ruggedly gorgeous owner of a remote mountain retreat called Cobalt Canyon.
Donaven soon
realizes that what Crystal has needed for a long time is a dominant man to
spank her properly and take control both in and out of the bedroom, and he
doesn’t hesitate to put her over his knee for her first bare-bottom spanking.
Though it leaves her blushing, Donaven’s mastery of her body also leaves
Crystal all but trembling with desire, and his forceful, demanding lovemaking brings
her pleasure like nothing she has ever experienced before.
Donaven
is everything she’s ever wanted in a man—someone who will both take care of her
and discipline her when she needs it—but Crystal struggles to reconcile her
yearning to submit to him with the demands of her career as a social worker
protecting vulnerable women. When tragedy strikes one of her clients and guilt
sends her life into a tailspin, can Donaven prove to Crystal that they have a
future together and she belongs not only in his bed but also at his side?

Intimate
Author’s Corner
Maddie: Oh boy! It's been a while since I've had someone in the corner. And there is no one better at spilling the beans than Melody. So, tell me, a secluded retreat in the Cascades sounds
like heaven. What made you pick that
location?
Melody: The inspiration for the location came from a
trip I took last summer up into the mountains. The ride on the motorcycles was
awe inspiring to say the least.
Maddie: Sounds like the scenery is gorgeous and the
mountains sound pretty too. LOL Donaven is freakin' hot, what was your
inspiration for his character?
Melody: Easy! He’s everything I’d want in a man.
Maddie: Succinct!
I like it. J
Tell me about the Tiny Piney cabin in the story. It cracked me up and reminded me of a doll
house, although I'd get claustrophobic.
It sounds perfect for the AP couple, is that going to be forthcoming in
a book 2, perhaps?
Melody: More Matt, Sam, Salina and Capi are
definitely on the horizon. Salina is really wanting that tree house Sam
mentioned building for her. I plan to have a lot of fun with these characters. AP
will be a challenge for me, but as an author I think it’s important to
challenge yourself. It will be fun putting a new twist into my stories.
Maddie: You were away for a while and we missed you,
what's in store for Melody in the coming year?
Melody: Well, as you know I have a hot Medieval with
Em and Corbet to rework and wrap up, and I have a hot Halloween story in the
works too. From there possibly more adventures in Cobalt Canyon.
Maddie: Mm… the medieval sounds right up my
alley. As for Halloween, hot is good but
if it’s scary I might need to call up Donaven to come hold my hand.
Maddie: Before we go, how about a game of quick Q and
A? Give me five of your biggest pet
peeves.
1. Snoring
2.
Constant disturbances when I am trying to write
3.
Mosquitoes
4.
Searching for something I need, not being able to
find it and then suddenly it appears as if by magic days later when I don’t
need it anymore.
5.
When Walmart runs out of the Starbucks Breakfast
blend coffee I live on.
Maddie: On peeves 1-4… Amen, Sister!
Number 5, eh. Feel bad for you
but a coffee worshiper I am not.
Thanks
for joining me today, Melody. Best of
luck with Claiming Crystal and I hope there is much more forthcoming from up
Cobalt Canyon way.
