on Jul 21st, 2010 Today we have the lovely and talented Tawny Taylor, author of smokin’ hot paranormal and erotic romance! Well, we aren’t having her, exactly…*wistful sigh*…but she is here visiting the Smutketeers today, so yay!
Her latest book, MASTER OF SIN 2: LUST’S TEMPTATION, was just released, so read on to find out more!
Ah, the word Sin.
Sin…
That’s a word that evokes a great many images, both good and bad, doesn’t it? A huge piece of decadently delicious German chocolate cake. Saying a gazillion rosaries on your knees on a cold stone floor (if you were raised Catholic like I was, I know what I’m talking about). Or, my favorite: a wickedly sexy man. Of course, I just love reading (and writing) about wickedly sexy men. And reading about a wickedly sexy, sinful man is even better. Better yet, how about two wickedly sexy sinful men…who do their sinning together :) Mmmmm…
They are the Masters of Sin.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with my Masters of Sin series, the premise is fairly simple. The spirit/demon of each of the seven deadly sins is split in two and hosted by two men (there are reasons for this, but I won’t go into here). While possessing the men, the demon gains some control over them, thus driving them to do terrible things until they meet a very special woman who has the power to silence it. The stories are on the dark side, showing the struggle the men face to control the almost overwhelming urges of the demon.
Lust’s Temptation is the most recent Masters of Sin book:
Troi and Amun—one dominant, the other submissive, both alpha—are possessed by the spirit of Lust. Its dark demands have tested their will every minute of every day for centuries. And they’ve committed deviant, selfish acts to satisfy its unrelenting carnal hunger. But the guilt doesn’t overwhelm them until they meet Oriel. She is their salvation, their peace. They need her. But they don’t deserve her.
Life’s lessons have taught Oriel not to trust anyone, especially gorgeous men who will use anyone for their own satisfaction. Granted, they’re sexy. Charming. Her body responds to their every look and touch. But she can’t—won’t—take a chance on them. Until she discovers she can run away, but she can’t escape the emotions they stir.
As darkness closes in, Troi and Amun’s lives and souls hang in the balance. The beast will consume them if Oriel can’t accept her own dark needs, and trust the two men who have summoned her most decadent desires.
Reader Advisory: This book contains same-gender sex, group sex, and various and sundry other deliciously wicked acts committed by two very naughty boys.
Pop Quiz: Who can name the Seven Deadly Sins? No cheating :)
And finally, a contest!
Lust’s Temptation, combines the eroticism you’d expect from a book with a title that contains the word Lust, along with a healthy helping of romance, and a little taste of a certain hobby of mine. You’ll get a hint if you read the excerpt HERE. Post your answer in the comments and everyone who answers correctly will be entered in a drawing for a gift box, containing a book or two from my backlist and some other goodies. A warning: it’s a little tricky; it isn’t clearly spelled out. If nobody answers correctly, we’ll still have a drawing. I’ll throw everyone’s name in the hat and pick the winner randomly (to clarify: only those who post a guess will be entered in the drawing). Winners will be announced here on Sunday evening, so be sure to check back!
Good luck and thanks for reading!
Tawny

Hi all! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the excerpt :) I do love dancing…and kissing. Dating…well, I’m married now. And (thank God!) my dating days are behind me now. So far, nobody’s guessed the hobby I’m referring to. Anyone else want to take a guess? This is a tough one.

by Tawny Taylor July 21st, 2010 at 11:45 amOkay, it could be ballroom dancing, dancing, BDSM or menage. :) In any event, I really want to read this book!!!! It sounds HOT!!!!
by Deborah Vick July 21st, 2010 at 11:57 am…. how about something to do with a reenactor or a historian type of hobby
by Afshan N July 21st, 2010 at 11:57 am~Afshan
@ Rg, good to know, I will continue to stalk on, LOL.
by Ivelisse July 21st, 2010 at 12:04 pm@ Tawny – finally I got a little close haha. that is about as far as my mind can take me at this point. Sunday evening can’t come any sooner. Can’t wait to start reading.
*holding tongue*
Not saying a word. Nope, not gonna say a word…
by Tawny Taylor July 21st, 2010 at 12:42 pmSWORD FIGHTING?
by Desiree July 21st, 2010 at 12:48 pmWhat the heck….I’ll say your hobby is a Civil War reenactor. Just a guess.
by Joder July 21st, 2010 at 2:03 pmI know what your hobby is…..but since I technically cheated(talked with you online about it) I shall not post an answer.
The book sounds great. Looks like an interesting read.
by Scott Romanski July 21st, 2010 at 2:36 pmI know what your hobby is…..but since I technically cheated(talked with you online about it) I shall not post an answer.
The book sounds great. Looks like an interesting read.
by Scott Romanski July 21st, 2010 at 2:36 pmFinally home from the day job and get to come and hang out with Tawny!
by Eden Bradley July 21st, 2010 at 2:59 pmRG is right-we do encourage stalkers-we LOVE stalkers! Um, especially if they read our books…*G*
And Tawny, I’m going to guess that you like mud wrestling. No? Hmm…how about fly fishing? Not that either, huh? Okay…it’s got to be pole dancing. You’d make a hot pole dancer. Just sayin’…
I am going to go with camping????
by gigi staub July 21st, 2010 at 3:30 pmgigi
great excerpt.my guess is
by elaing8 July 21st, 2010 at 3:55 pmRenaissance Dancing
I’m going to go with historical reenactor (like in Williamsburg or at Tryon Palace), where you dress, act, speak, etc. in period.
by Courtney S July 21st, 2010 at 4:01 pmMy guess would be some sort of historical reenactment as well.
by cories July 21st, 2010 at 5:15 pmFrom the excerpt, I was going to guess Renaissance re-enactments, but I think that’s historically earlier… Civil War reenactments? This is also the century of Napoleon… At any rate, congrats on being done by the Smutketeers, Tawny! They have no equal :)
by Fedora July 21st, 2010 at 5:36 pmooh great excerpt! Will be checking out this series. My guess reenacting civil war. :)
by Shelly July 21st, 2010 at 5:37 pmdo we get another guess if so
by jennifer mathis July 21st, 2010 at 7:03 pmphotography or maybe drumming
Keep ‘em coming!
by Eden Bradley July 21st, 2010 at 9:44 pmBook sounds great! and my guess is something to do with Civil War
by Dawn July 21st, 2010 at 9:55 pmCongrats on the book. Sounds awesome. I’m gonna guess that your hobby is taking the old time pictures you can get at fairs and things like that where you can dress up as a saloon girl, a soldier from the civil war era and things like that. Or even a southern belle.
by Sherry July 22nd, 2010 at 6:32 pmUmm…it is a tricky question…I’d have to go with perhaps dancing or that you like researching historical factoids?
by Anna Shah Hoque July 22nd, 2010 at 6:35 pmSomeone’s getting warmer…
by Eden Bradley July 22nd, 2010 at 8:39 pmHm, wool and leather make me think of a soldier, but if not the Civil War, how about the Crimean War? Or am I getting way off base?
by cories July 22nd, 2010 at 10:23 pmI’ve had so much fun reading your guesses :) I’ll tell you, somebody did get it right, but I’m not tellin’ who. There’s still time to enter, so if you haven’t taken a guess, please do!
by Tawny Taylor July 23rd, 2010 at 8:25 amCamping? Excerpt was great!
by Amy S. July 23rd, 2010 at 4:48 pmWell, it must be either dancing or rubbing up against and kissing sexy men. I guess I’ll go with dancing…although I suppose the rest could be considered a type of dancing, too.
by Donna July 23rd, 2010 at 5:15 pmSorry folks-we’ve had a small delay-winner will be announced today!
by Eden Bradley July 26th, 2010 at 1:09 pmHey folks-sorry for the delay, but we have a winner!!!!!!!!! And it’s…….

by cories July 27th, 2010 at 6:57 pmThe correct answer is historical re enactment. :)
by Eden Bradley July 27th, 2010 at 10:03 pm
by Courtney S July 28th, 2010 at 7:42 pmThanks! I totally forgot to check back until RG posted on the Samhain Yahoo group about the guest blogger…LOL It’s been CRAZY at work (the end of the month is ALWAYS crazy when you work in the business office of a multispecialty practice). What a great way to finish the week! Thanks again.
Yay Courtney!
