Island Fire
by Bobbi Smith
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
An
untouched young girl finds a gorgeous man shipwrecked and washed up onshore on
a tropical island in the Pacific and they find pure ecstasy and the promise of
eternal love.
Espri
Duchant saves the shipwrecked shipping magnate, and when his gaze meets hers,
he celebrates his good luck. Adrift at sea, he survived when all the others
perished. Innocent Espri Duchant has always sworn to guard her virtue. But when
she discovers the handsome stranger lying on her beach, she soon vows she will
kiss his chiseled lips, feel his tender touch. Espri is eager to learn the
mysteries of sensual ecstasy—and when she finally succumbs to the passion of
his powerful embrace, it is as if she has led him to it. Espri takes him to a
sun-drenched island cove, the perfect hideaway with the lapping water like a
cool sheet against the heat of their searing island love.
HIS FIERY NEED
After
being kidnapped, shanghaied, shipwrecked, and nearly drowned, Mitchell Williams
sees no reason to wait for paradise—he’s already there! He will one day have to
return to the helm of his profitable shipping company, but the next sailing
ship will not pass by the remote Pacific island for many months. In the
meantime, nothing can stop him from exulting in the sensual pleasure of this
woman, her flawless flesh and natural beauty. She teases him that he will never
turn to another and that no woman will ever satisfy him the way she does. Soon
all he craves is her. He is enchanted by Espri’s island fire.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
The
cup of rum had really helped Mitch. He could feel the sharp edge of his pain
dulling beneath the liquor’s soothing onslaught. A sigh escaped him, and for
the first time in months, he knew a moment of real peace.
Espri,
ever sensitive to his well-being, feared something was wrong. “Are you all
right?”
“I’m
better than I have been in a long time.”
Espri
smiled at his words. “Would you like to sit outside? The day is still young and
the heat is not intense yet.”
Mitch
quickly agreed to her suggestion and was starting to get up, when the sudden
drop of the blanket effectively halted his actions.
“Do
you have my pants?”
“No,
they were all but ripped off while you were in the sea, but I can fashion you a
pareu, if you’d be more comfortable in one.”
“Please.”
“You’ll
have to stand so I can secure the cloth about your hips,” Espri instructed as
she came to him and grasped his arm to help him to his feet. Though she had
known Mitch was tall, his upright male presence was overpowering to her. A
quiver of excitement raced through her veins. Trying to ignore the feel of his
firm muscles beneath her hands, she adjusted the cloth around his waist.
The
slight touch of her body to his had an electrifying effect on him. He bent to
her, whispering her name as his lips found hers, brushing them softly in a
tentative caress that became more urgent.
Espri
was taken by surprise, but she responded fully, knowing that this was what
she’d been wanting and waiting for. Looping her arms around his neck, she
strained nearer, needing to feel the hardness of his manly form against her.

Bobbi ~ Good morning! Welcome back! It is always a pleasure to have you here! Congrats on your new book and good luck on the book tour! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Ally! I'm thrilled to be here! best, bobbi
DeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds like a great read and thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteDid you go to school to be a writer?
ReplyDeleteHi Bernie! In 5th Grade, we had to write an autobiography. I titled mine 'ME'. :) The last question we had to answer was - What do you want to be when you grow up? - To get in good with Miss Albrecht (and because there weren't a lot of career choices for women back then) I wrote I want to be a teacher and a writer. Bless her heart, Miss Albrecht told me I could do both! I did go to teacher's college for two years, but ended up switching majors and got a business degree. I didn't think about writing again until I was a stay-at-home Mom who'd just read The Flame and The Flower by Kathleen Woodiwiss. She inspired me and I started my first novel back in the late 70s. I was very blessed to be able to sell my first book, and I've had a wonderful career.
DeleteI liked the excerpt, sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI like the cover. Did you help design it?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to say that I did and that I was the girl on the cover, but my agent designed the cover for me. :)
