Teaser from UPON YOUR LOVE

Check out a teaser from UPON YOUR LOVE, a historical romance work in progress!

Marie Lavender's avatarI Love Romance Blog

I’ve been steadily at work finishing up the final book of the Heiresses in Love Series, Upon Your Love. Current word count? 112,816 words. Lots more writing to do before I even think of edits. So, I thought I’d drop by today and offer a teaser. For those familiar with the series, you may have wondered if I was ever going to pair Eric, Grant’s valet and family friend to the Hill’s, with someone. Well, here’s the answer and a sexy teaser:

“You don’t approve of women who give their favors easily,” she said at last, her eyes fastened on him once more.

“That’s right. It’s not snobbery in any fashion. I believe that some women are placed in that position because of circumstances I can’t even imagine. I do see why it occurs, but it’s not my preference at all.”

“In what context is it all right then?”

Interview with Marie Lavender

A fun interview on E J Frost’s Blog!

It’s my great pleasure to host author Marie Lavender, who has stopped by to answer questions about her new release, Second Nature. (Stick around to the end for a chance to win a free copy!)

SecondNature-final cover

What inspired you to write your book?

My current release, Second Nature, was a long time coming. I worked on it off and on for years before I realized it would be a vampire story. I wrote Desiree’s character first and the rest sort of came out of that.

Do you have a specific writing style?

I believe I do. I have a certain way that I write; I am character-focused first and then I add in the other details. I am comfortable with that approach, and my fans appear to like it.

How did you come up with the title?

Good question. At first, it was untitled and then it had…

“Blessed” – a poem

A new love poem!

Marie Lavender's avatarI Love Romance Blog

Blessed

 

It’s beyond words what I feel for you,

but I always try to capture it.

I can only say I feel…

blessed.

wordblessed

The way you draw me close,

holding me tight,

I’ve never felt so safe with anyone else.

I can only feel…

blessed.

 tumblr_mq5s6a3UbO1rjajhdo1_500

The way you speak those words,

professing your love,

saying you’ll always take care of me,

I can only feel…

blessed to have you.

dil

Looking into your eyes,

a fascinating mix of brown and green,

the way you kiss me and my eyes drift closed,

I can only feel…

blessed.

couple-kissing-bed

When you smile at me or give me that gaze full of affection,

the way we work so well together,

even when we link hands and they fit so perfectly,

I can only feel…

blessed beyond measure.

thankujw

Our hearts,

our souls connect,

our bodies were made for each other.

I can only feel…

Pattimari‘s review

Dec 02, 14


Upon Your Honor is a book I bought, read, and think is an outstanding story with a great author. I was impressed and happy to know that this author had more books to buy and read. Marie keeps her reader entertained and feeling all the characters actions. She has a way with allowing the reader to visualize exactly what the character looks like and feels.
Great job Marie.

“Everything to Me” – a poem

Marie Lavender's avatarI Love Romance Blog

Everything to Me

Every time you leave, I yearn more for you.

When we’re apart, nothing feels right until we’re reunited.

I could spend a lifetime learning the many facets of you and I’d never get tired.

I can see the love in your eyes and I reciprocate it.

 close-eye-contact

You show your feelings in so many ways…

You take care of me,

you listen,

you worship my body completely.

db9fb2133c156aac40c5eb73e783765a

I could never ask for a more perfect love.

It means everything to me…

 942897_512564375476032_150527136_n

Real love isn’t perfect…

It has its occasional hiccups,

a mild argument or difference of opinion,

the wait to be together,

to become one in a perfect union,

dil

our minds,

our souls,

our hearts together.

But, that’s what makes life interesting.

val_my-heart-is-yours-forever

We are similar in many ways,

connecting beyond the visible,

even speaking in unison now and then followed by a laugh,

finishing each other’s…
