Will she be his landwalker or will she catch the big prize only to throw it back?

Over-worked business-woman, Naida Lamont, convinced by her nosy, well meaning best friends to take a vacation, finds more than she bargained for. Giving in, everyone else would have gone to Hawaii or Mexico but not Naida. She chose to go to the very small, very remote island of Kumantie.

Her first night is remarkable and totally unbelievable when a stranger professing to be a merman claims she's the woman his legend foretold about. Calix is too damn sexy to be crazy and she wants him every time she sees him. He has a destiny to fulfill but she doesn't feel like the prophesied landwalker who will save his sea kingdom.

A Kind Of Loving


I have just seen that A Kind Of Loving is at Number 13 in the Red Rose Publishing list at Fictionwise. Cassie's Sheikh went up to number four at one point. Fingers crossed that A Kind of Loving will do as well or better.

Workshop for Writers Announcement

During the month of May at Coffee Time Romance, I will be hosting a workshop entitled BDSM in Romance

Authors, are you looking to increase your readership? Have you spotted the growing trend in erotic romance to include light kink? Desire to add kink to your writing but are unsure how?

Then this workshop is for you!

If during sex scenes the following have occurred: Characters being held down, role play/costuming, light bondage i.e., silk scarves, light spankings, corsets, incorporated food into your sex scene, then guess what?

You’re KINKY!

BDSM is not all about pain, leather or physical abuse, although those are some perks!

Jonathan’s Bite of the Apple


Centuries of war with werewolves has left the Dioni Vampire Clan with no women of their race and on the brink of extinction. Mankind has become their only hope to rebuild. Annually, the clans grant one warrior the privilege to select a wife, and this year’s recipient of the honor is Jonathan Destori.

Kenya Baxter is a voluptuous ebony beauty. She has no trouble handling herself in and outside of the bedroom. She meets Jonathan after a park incident and befriends the vampire. Kenya offers to show him around New York so Jonathan can get a true taste of what the city has to offer after dark.

Jonathan’s Bite of the Apple is part of the Dioni Chronicles series.

I found Jonathan’s Bite of the Apple to be an enjoyable read. Kenya isn’t the average rail thin woman so often portrayed in novels. It was nice to read about a woman who has not allowed her weight to dictate how she lives her life, or society’s image of beauty to squash her confidence. Kenya is strong of mind, body and spirit. Jonathan is a delicious dish who at times seemed too blind to recognize what a true gift Kenya was. Dana Littlejohn has delivered a deliciously wicked treat that is sure to please lovers of the genre.

"Reading a Zenobia Renquist novel is a sure to guarantee to a different and unique experience... Ms. Renquist illustrates both sensitivity and humor... Regardless, of what each person takes away from the story, they will definitely take away hours of enjoyment."

Blurb:
She wants a boyfriend for Valentine’s and her husband wants to deliver.

Tori has come to the realization that her marriage lacks the spark it had in the beginning. She and her husband argue more than anything else and she foresees a nasty break-up on the horizon if something doesn’t change. When he asks her what she wants for Valentine’s Day, her answer is scandalous and straightforward—a boyfriend.

Rather than be upset, her husband is intrigued by the idea and sets out to make it happen. Tori has set herself—and him—an impossible goal and her prospects aren’t that promising. But she’s determined to have a boyfriend in time for the most romantic holiday of the year.

EXCERPT:
“What do you want for V-day, sweetheart?”

Tori regarded her husband. He didn’t even look at her when he’d asked the question. Instead, he lazed in his easy chair with his feet up, clicking through the channels. She shouldn’t be upset at his dismissive behavior. Unlike most husbands, he’d actually remembered days in advance of the holiday instead of the day of. Christian was good at remembering anniversaries, birthdays, and the like.

“I want a boyfriend.” Some wild hair made Tori say what was on her mind, the thing she really wanted and had kept to herself for the past two years.

Her marriage with Christian was lukewarm. She couldn’t remember when the last time they’d had sex, but Christian could tell her the exact date if she asked. He only remembered stuff that concerned him.

That wasn’t to say she didn’t love her husband. He was the only man who could put up with her and vice versa. They were the perfect complete-each-other’s-sentences couple. On the surface, they had the type of marriage every couple envied with three kids who were mature beyond their years and a stable income. A dream come true except one thing…

“Ha ha. Now what do you really want?” He continued flipping channels.

“I’m not joking. I want a boyfriend.”

Christian looked at her. His smile vanished when he saw she wasn’t smiling. “What are you saying?”

“I just told you twice. For the third time, I want a boyfriend.”

“Is this about Samantha? I apologized. You forgave me. You said it was in the past and not to worry about it. Why after two years of forgiveness do you suddenly want a divorce?”

“I didn’t say I wanted a divorce. I said I want a boyfriend.” She felt like a broken record.

Her gaze strayed to the clock. They had an hour before the kids were due back from school. She hoped whatever theatrics Christian threw her way ended before they came home.

Christian switched the television off then stood and faced Tori. “This isn’t a funny joke. Or is this payback?”

“It’s neither. When was the last time we had sex, Christian?”

“Two years and three months ago next Friday.”

She knew it. He’d been counting, which meant the lack of intimacy had bothered him. She crossed her arms. “We don’t have a relationship anymore—not the kind married couples should have.”

“We can work at it.”

“I really don’t want to.”

That made Christian angry. His face contorted in rage and he paced away from her with an angry sound.

She wasn’t scared. Christian would never hurt her. He wasn’t the type of man to do that. That didn’t mean he wouldn’t put a hole through the wall or stab the couch with a kitchen knife.

“Christian, assuming I wanted to have sex, do you even want to?”

“Yes!”

“With me?”

“Of course! You’re my wife. We’ve been married ten years.”

“Then how come you were with Samantha on that Valentine’s Day two years ago?”

First Review: Acknowledging Meirion

Acknowledging MeirionAcknowledging Meirion has gotten it's first review from Mickey at Simply Romance Reviews.

"Ms. Renquest's sensitivity in writing the scenes between the pair keeps this book from being maudlin, and allows it to have the happy ending readers expect from a true romance. While not a light and frivoless romance, this is definitely a romance, and one well worth reading."
