A Double Sweet Giveaway with Sophie Renwick

****Contest is Closed****

Ladies, how are you enjoying this party!!! I don't know about y'all, but man am I having a blast!!

I am very excited (actually ~ I am a LOT excited) to introduce you to a man that will rock your world. I had the privilege of having him at my place for a conversation the other day and Oh what a MAN!!! Whew! I was very flattered when he agreed to come over, but I think I won his heart by telling him he was the first man to be interviewed here at my place!
So ladies, without farther waiting... I introduce to you...
Bran, King of the Night Sidhe from ~ Velvet Haven ((Ms. Sophie Renwick!!))
This will be Book One of Immortals of Annwyn Series

It's that time again to pull up a lounge chair by the fire.
I love this picture with the forest in the background, you can almost here the birds

and the leaves rustling...

Now ladies, I could not serve a fruity drink, because Bran did not strike me as that kind of drinker. Hell, I am not sure what kind of drinker he is... but this is what reminded me of him...
**but feel free to ask Caleb to make you whatever you want... he is hanging around**And as always, please help yourself to a piece of cake... Doesn't this remind you of fall and being outdoors... Matches Bran spirit... I think...

Okay, now that I have had a shot of whiskey to settle the nerves... **cheeks feeling a little flush here** I am on to Bran... I mean to talk to him...

First Bran, let me thank you for coming over to my place. It is a pure pleasure to meet you.
I have to admit that I am a little nervous.

Why?

*I'm blushing... I'm such a hussy* Because Bran, you are the first man to appear at my blog. I have never interviewed a male, especially one of your...ummm... Yea. I am a little nervous by your aura. You are a very powerful man. But every man has his weakness.

Well, first off, let me tell you that I’m honored to be the first male interviewed on your blog (although Mairi got me onto this internet thing and your blog, and I’m finding that there’s plenty of visuals of men. Naturally I had to send Mairi out of the room.
I only want her looking at me)

***Oh, I am sure Mairi would love the eye candy I have on my blog***

So, for starters, Cecile, let me thank you. For the first time ever, I’ve actually come in first before Wallingford. In my opinion Sophie/Charlotte is far too fond of the guy. ‘Course, I gave her a hard time when she offered to tell the Annwyn Chronicles, so that might have something to do with it. I wasn’t easy for her to pin me down, but a Sidhe king has to keep some secrets, ya know? Wallingford, the bastard, is as smooth as ice, and as elusive as smoke. The guy knows how to charm. I don’t. Thank the Goddess Mairi isn’t into charmers....sorry to get off track.
***Oh heaves, yes I know all about Wallingford's charm... damn that man***I kind of have ‘issues’ with my historical rival! Not to mention that asshole fallen angel, Suriel. He’s sniffing around Mairi, and I don’t like it. But then, you don’t want to know about him, do you? Grin...

***oh... maybe I do... evil grin***
Okay... Here is the dirt on Mr. Bran:

Character: Bran, King of the Night Sidhe
Shifts into: The Raven
Magic: Destruction
Power: Prognosticate death, can harness all the powers of the elements to form alchemy
Friends: Loose alliances with most all creatures
Foes: The mortal who is prophesized will destroy him

Now Bran, tell us some a few things about yourself...
What exactly are you, for those that are new here?

Night Sidhe. Which is, to mortals, a Faery. But, I’m of dark blood, which means I’m tall, big and lethal and resemble a human male.
No glittery wings and pointy ears for me. And for the love of the goddess, I do not drink nectar out of flower blooms. Nor are my shoes made of leaves. I hate stereotypes. :)

I mentioned weakness earlier, would you care to share yours with us ladies...
We promise not to tell?

It’s not a secret. Everyone in Annwyn knows I’ve been saddled with a curse by the Supreme Goddess of Annwyn. It’s a Legacy Curse. Which means that I need mortal sex magic to shore up my own magic.

To use the modern vernacular, it sucks. Big time. I hate going to Velvet Haven to troll for women and sex. But I’m king. And a king needs to be powerful—and I am, when fully charged, if you know what I mean.

I just hate how I have to get the juice. But Mairi...I’ve never met a mortal who gave so much of herself. The energy she gives me is incredible, and the love I feel for her....I don’t know. It’s dangerous.

Where do you live and where are you from?

I live and rule in Annwyn, which is the Celtic Otherworld. It’s a parallel world to yours, separated by a thin veil. It’s gorgeous, magical, seductive. It’s home. I’m naturally weak in the mortal realm, so I don’t like to stay there long, just enough to get a fix.

I’m hoping Annwyn is going to be Mairi’s home. She’ll fit right in amongst the ancient groves and the moonlight.

How long have you been roaming the earth?

Well, I’ve HAD to roam earth since I was cursed in 1860 something. I can’t remember the exact year. But it was when my Uncle Daegan abdicated his throne for the love a mortal. I offered an Adbertos which is a sacrifice, to allow my uncle to be with the woman he loved. I got the Legacy Curse. And that’s a convoluted answer for ‘feels like forever’.

I stopped counting birthdays at 300, but like I’m trying to assure Mairi, I’m in prime! :)
And if you and your readers aren’t sure about that, you can check me out in my book. I’ve got a few thigh squeezing scenes in there, or so Sophie told me. :)

**and if Sophie said there are some thigh squeezing scenes in there... I am definitely taking her word for that... the woman knows how to tell a tale... a hot one at that... damn***


Bran, what do you look for in a woman?

Before Mairi, I wasn’t particular. I only had a few criteria. Mortal, not ovulating, free of drugs (getting harder as the centuries go by) and up for hours and hours of anonymous sex.

I used to think the Sidhe female form ideal. Tall, lithe, small breasted, narrow hipped, beautiful and untouchable. That all went to the Wastelands when I met a certain mortal. Now curves, full breasts, and a nice bottom are all I can think about.

**Oh yea... so now us big girls get loving too! Woohoo!!**
Do you have a love interest?

Mairi MacAuley, but were enemies. I think. You see a mortal is prophesized to kill me, and I’m pretty certain it’s Mairi. I have death visions, and this vision, well, let’s just say that it’s powerful enough for me to want to let her try to do me in. The way she makes me vulnerable, and the sounds she makes right before it...well, it makes me want to give her the opportunity, if you know what I mean.

The last thing I will ask, is if you can leave us a a few of quotes from your book
~ that would give us some idea to your character, your desires,
your demeanor. You know, to wet our appetite for what we have to look forward to.

Hmm, let me ask Sophie. She’ll be better at this, plus I’ll get to find out what spots made her soften to me! :)
The only dialogue that comes to my memory was the scene where I learned how to use a cell phone. Who knew phone sex could give me magic?

***Bran, my number 555-555-xxxx.... Phone sex huh...***

Ok, Sophie’s here now, helping me out with quotes from our book.

Sophie: This was my very first intro into Bran....

Bran had no sue for humans, but this one, she was exactly the sort of mortal he was looking for—single lonesome and begging for it.

Bran: Well, it was the truth. I don’t mince words. Never have.

Sophie: Okay, he kind of redeemed himself here....

From where he stood he could not tell if she was pretty or plain. But that did not matter. What mattered was her aura. White meant perfect balance. It was so rare, a pure white aura. He should probably fear it, but he was drawn to it—to her. He suddenly wanted nothing more than to take all her pleasure inside his body and convert it into magic.

Bran: Ah, first time I saw my Mairi. ;)

Sophie: Here’s something naughty about Bran....

She was bowed back, her breasts prominently displayed as he pulled her back a fraction more. Then he circled his erection deeper into her belly. He stroked her with his massive erection, circling her belly as if he were buried deep inside her. “Tell me what you’re doing here.”
She heard the pain in his voice and couldn’t understand where it came from. She wanted to ask what she had done, but his cock felt so good against her that only a husky moan made its way past her lips.
“You want me to take you in the shower?” he asked as he pressed his mouth against her ear. “Why, Mairi? Will you wash me away when you’re done?”
“I—I didn’t mean to disturb you—”
He laughed, the sound dark, menacing.
He freed one hand from her wrists and brought it down between their bodies. She followed his hand and watched as he brought it to his cock. Something glinted in the sheen of the water, and she blinked, her lashes heavy with water. Something silver flashed at her.
Bran: That’s enough…we decided to leave that bit about me as surprise for the readers…..
Sophie: Spoiled sport! Pout….Well, here’s Bran being soft...
“Somehow our fates were destined to cross, and now our futures are entangled. I know we’ve only just met, but I swear to you, I need you in my life. I want to know all your secrets, your fears. I want to pleasure you, to protect you.”
She looked at him with an expression of awe. “What are you?” she asked. “Where did you come from? Because I’ve never met a man like you before.”
He caressed her skin, but did not answer her questions.
“Who are you,” she asked in a low voice as she studied him, wondering how a man she didn’t know could mean so much, could break past her barriers of mistrust and crawl inside her heart.
He pressed forward and brushed his lips below her earlobe. “Tell me who you want me to be. I can be that person.”
“Bran,” she whispered, allowing herself to just feel the fluttering sweep of his lips against her throat, his incredibly long lashes against her earlobe. “Just Bran.”
His big body softened against her. “I love the way you smell here. I love the way you taste.”
His words were followed by the slow flicking motion of his tongue. Her belly flipped. Before she knew what she was doing, her hand was resting low over her belly, trying to relieve some of the empty throbbing she felt.
“Do you feel me there?” he asked in a dark whisper. His palm rested on top of hers, then slowly began moving. Her breath left her mouth, her lips brushing his cheek, which was faintly dusted with a five-o’clock shadow.
Lower he pushed her hand till her heel rested on her pubic bone and her fingers were between her thighs.
“Tell me where you need me, Mairi.”
Bran: And that’s it, folks. Sophie’s gone now, so we can get back to this interview.

Wow, okay! Those were some very **cough cough** insightful quotes there. Whew...
