BL:
Hey peeps. This is BL on NNP’s blog, interviewing brother muse Michael
Mandrake, but before I bring him in a bit of news. *drum roll* My book Under
the Gun, that ironically used to be Michael’s has been contracted by Naughty
Nights Press. This book has a hot couple, Camdyn and Malik. Malik is a former
soldier while Camdyn is a PI looking for love and a new partner. Together they
make up Hardy and Day. This small novella series will feature the twosome on
big cases while they make sexy, hot love. *licks lips* I’ll be filling you in
some more as the time comes but lets bring in brother muse, Michael Mandrake.
*audience
claps*
MM:
*Michael walks in, dressed in a three piece suit and tie. Smiles at the camera.*
Hi there BL. Thanks so much for having me.
BL:
No prob bro. So tell us about I Love it Rough, the sequel to I Like Em Pretty.
MM:
Well, as you said, it is a continuation of Kajika and Frankie’s story, set in
New Orleans about two men getting together after a tragic event occurs. This
tale is a follow-up into their relationship but I add some suspense, murder,
and some sexual tension that makes this book in my opinion better than the
first. Its not a romance, more like a mystery, complete with a serial killer,
unrest between the characters and of course Kajika himself who is also
entertaining.
BL:
Yes he is. He’s a piece of work. I caught his interview a few days ago. And
what about the surprise you have planned?
MM:
Well, I have a couple. One might not make some people too happy but the other
should bring a smile to fans of Ryland and Ryder Durand. They’re making an
appearance in this story. How do I do it? You’ll have to read to find out.
*winks*
*Audeience
oohs and aahs*
BL:
Wow, bro. You sure you don’t want to give us a sneak peek?
MM:
No, I can’t BL. Then it would take away a big part of the story.
BL:
*pouts* Alright then Well tell us more about the series and how me an Rawiya
fit into this.
MM:
*smiles* Well you’re taking over the very spicy Kenina Porter
 |
| BL's book #3 Hell Hath No Fury |
*audience
boos*
MM:
*Michael’s eyes widen* Now, now, Kenina is very nice. She just needs some TLC.
BL is going to give her a great story too. She’s a woman scorned. And then you’re
writing book 4 which will be Orrin’s story.
BL:
Oh yeah, Orrin is the goods. *rubs hands together*
MM:
And then Rawiya takes over book 5 with Naomi, then back to me with book 6. And
actually you’ll be the first to know that there might be a book seven. I haven’t
really made up my mind but another character in this series needs some TLC as
well.
BL:
Ooh, well I’m looking forward to it Michael. Kenina is a gal after my own
heart. Now, last question, how would you summarize the N’awlins Exotica series in
one word?
MM:
*blinks* Just one? I’ll go for, saucy. *laughs* That’s the best way I can put
it. Its exotic, erotic, chaotic, it’s… all of these and more. It’s really a fun
collection and Im glad we’re all working on it together.
BL:
Great bro. Well thanks for stopping in and folks if you haven’t checked out
this series, please do. It is a blast!
*Audience cheers*
*Audience cheers*

Livin’ in N’awlins ain’t all that easy…
Kajika Fortier loves his job, the attention he gets from onlookers, and Frankie Choteau. However, his new partner’s jealousy, mood swings, and over protectiveness drives Kajika to the brink but at the same time, excites him to no end. To complicate things further, a murderer is on the loose looking for blood. All three of the killer’s victims are strippers which not only makes Frankie nervous about Kajika’s safety but leaves him questioning his love for being a homicide detective. Coupled with the stresses of cold cases as well as some fellow officers shunning him for coming out, Frankie is having second thoughts about staying in New Orleans. Despite the encouragement from Vance, Kenina, and Orrin as well as new chief Quinn Murray, Frankie is wondering if his life’s passion really is to catch the killers.
Will the new couple survive these new issues that impede their nearly perfect union? Or will the relationship fail, thus leaving Kajika alone and a target for New Orleans latest serial killer? Detective Choteau and Kajika’s commitment to one another is being tested in more ways than one and they only have one another to lean on.
Excerpt
Kajika stepped out of the tub, grabbing the towel nearby to dry off. He’d been looking forward to spending the night and the early part of the day with his man, but duty called, causing Frankie to run out the door without saying anything more than ‘I’m gone’ and ‘I love you’.
Damn job.
Sometimes
Kajika wished Frankie worked a nine to five instead of the dreaded detective
position he held at the police station. They hadn’t had much time with the
workload being so large due to shortage of staff, and it affected their
relationship more than Kajika would’ve liked. At first he thought he could handle
it; the excitement of his hot homicide detective out in the streets solving
murders. Such a dangerous career but with it came nice money and accolades.
Although Kajika was scared to death of blood and dead bodies, he loved hearing
about some of Frankie’s cases, including the more intriguing ones that had yet
to be solved. Tonight though, he would’ve traded all that in for his Frankie to
be by his side.
In bed with me, where
he should be.
Kajika
finished wiping down and wrapped himself in his terry cloth robe to get ready
for bed. He’d thought about staying up and watching some television, hoping
that Frankie might return sooner than later, but he knew the truth. When called
in, detectives don’t make it back home within a couple of hours. More like a few
hours, or even half the day, would pass before he’d see his man again. As long
as he came home safe, Kajika would deal with the amount of hours he spent away
from their warm bed in Kenner, Louisiana.
On
the way to the bedroom, Kajika wrapped his hair in the towel, drying his long
strands. He glanced at the clock on the wall and grimaced when he noticed the
big and small hand hovering over the two.
“Shit.
Now I know I won’t see you until breakfast.” Kajika clicked his teeth and
stomped on the trail of rose petals, angered by their night being interrupted.
He pushed their bedroom door closed and leaned against the wood. “Damnit. We
haven’t done a whole lot other than late night cuddling, quickies in the
bathroom or on the kitchen floor. I need more than that, Frankie…I need−”
A
long buzz sounded from the dresser, and Kajika moved quickly to see who was
calling.
Frankie.
Frankie,
or at least Kajika hoped it was, calling him with the news he’d be returning
home sooner than expected. Although farfetched, Kajika could still wish his
husband to be back early. He gulped hard and said a little prayer before
clicking the connect button. “Hello?”
Silence
then a sigh. “Babe, it’s me… I… I got some real bad news to tell you,
sweetheart, but I’d rather you hear it from me as opposed to anyone else.”
Kajika
released a deep breath and shrugged. “Are you okay, love? Something bothering−”
“Naw,
I’m good, boo, but−” Frankie stopped a moment and blew hard through the phone.
Kajika
plopped on the bed and crossed his legs, wondering what the heck his man was
talking about. Bad news? What could it
possibly be? Kajika nibbled on his bottom lip while he toyed with the
frayed threads on his housecoat. “What is it, lover?”
“Babe,
the murder I got called in for was…” Frankie ceased speaking again and sounded
a little choked up about it.
Kajika
held his breath and blinked twice in succession. “Who Frankie? Come on, just
spit it out, right…who…”
“Lana
Miles, babe. Lana’s been strangled to death.” Frankie spoke quickly to get the
words out.
Kajika
stared straight ahead, and his heart caught in his chest. Oh my God! Unable to cope with what he’d just heard, he dropped his
phone and immediately the tears welled under his eyelids. Lana? Oh my God, who killed her? She was a good person…she…
“Kajika?
Babe, you there? You okay, love? Talk to me, honey.”
