The reviews are starting to come in from readers. Here are just a couple:

Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews – 4 stars, A True Gem
“I am beginning to think I would like super hero movies more if they even came close to books like this one. Blade of Moonlight is fast and sexy crime fighting story that will pull you in and not let go. … Great story when you want a sexy quickie that breaks the typical molds.” – Reviewer Alyn

Release Day! – BLADE OF MOONLIGHT

Posted by Kimberly

It’s finally here.  BLADE OF MOONLIGHT is officially available for sale as an ebook.

In a world of darkness, she is his light.

It’s a dark and stormy night, and Luna Masters is in trouble. Buttoned-up court reporter by day, by night she fights crime as Luminescence, drawing power from the moon. No moon, no power…and she’s about to pay with her life.

As her consciousness dims, a man steps from the shadows. But he’s no savior. It’s Scythe, a villain whose reputation for evil is legend. When she awakens, at first she’s surprised to be alive. Then enraged to find herself tied to his bed. Naked.

Scythe is livid. A minor superhero like Luna has no business on his turf, and he plans to enjoy administering punishment, Yet somewhere in the night, pain turns into pleasure…then into something wicked and sexy that shakes them both to the core.

Though Scythe warns her away, Luna’s passion for justice draws her back into the dark, to her masked lover’s side. For good, or evil? Only the dawn will tell…

New excerpt from Blade of Moonlight

Posted by Kimberly

BLADE OF MOONLIGHT releases just five days from now!  I’m excited to hear what readers think about this story.  It’s dark, gritty, and super steamy.  Super… get it?  Superhero erotic romance…

Anyway, I thought I’d put out a short excerpt to entice you.  Here it is:

An Excerpt From:  BLADE OF MOONLIGHT

© Copyright KIMBERLY DEAN, 2012.

Published by Samhain Publishing, May 1, 2012.

 

She didn’t know if she could put the boots on or not.

She stared at them from five feet away. They were sex bombs, she realized. She’d always known that. She’d known it from the way they made her feel when she put them on. She’d known it from the way men had stared at her when she’d illuminated them. Her light and her powers of attraction weren’t the only thing slowing them in their tracks.

“Damn you, Scythe.”

Gritting her teeth, she grabbed a boot. Pointing her toes, she slipped her foot inside. The soft leather hugged her toes, and the support pressed into her arch. She had to fight back a moan when she dragged the long zipper up to nearly her knee.

The second one was even worse.

By the time she swung her cape around her shoulders, her black hipsters were wet in the crotch. Her belt felt heavy with her weapons, and her bra was binding.

Her nipples tightened as she looked at the rumpled bed.

Dark versus light. Good versus evil.

She didn’t feel like she’d lost this round, but she certainly wasn’t the victor. She was lucky to come out alive and intact, but he’d warned her about the next time.

If there was a next time.

She bit her lip. She’d failed to find any clue to his identity, but he’d exposed too many of her secrets. The boots, her skin, her tactics, her sexual triggers…

She fingered the rock of her necklace where it had settled between her breasts. He’d warned her away, but she had to find out something about him. Without leverage of her own, this man, the cold-bladed Scythe, could own her.

Library Journal review of Blade of Moonlight

Posted by Kimberly

Library Journal likes Blade of Moonlight, too!

“Part of the Midnight Justice anthology, Dean’s (Everlasting) novella manages to balance a strong plot with sex scenes hot enough to melt an ereader. While the joining of heroine and villain story line is not entirely original, the pacing here is quick yet unhurried, and erotica fans will enjoy the resulting fun read. Recommended.”—Natasha Grant, New York

Writing Season

Posted by Kimberly

Wow, it’s been over a month since I posted.  Sorry about that, but it’s getting into that busy time of the year.  Life gets crazy over the holidays.  Everyone is dashing to and fro.  For me, though, it’s also the time of the year when I’m most productive with my writing.  When the weather gets cold and nasty, it’s easier to stay inside and huddle in front of a computer.

As a result, I’m juggling several projects.  The finishing touches have been placed on Blade of Moonlight, which is currently set for a May release with Samhain.  I can’t wait to show you the cover that’s in development.  Can. Not. Wait.  It’s a super dark and super sexy story, which is only appropriate for superheroes, and the cover is super hot.  Naturally.

I’m working on some proposals and finishing up a New Year’s story, which I plan to self-publish in the next few weeks.  That one’s a short story I wrote just as a holiday treat for readers, because I know this is also the time of year people like to curl up on their sofas with hot cocoa and a book.  “Tis the season!
