Caridad Pineiro has a CRAVING for you… Back to Blog
Update: Caridad’s lucky winner is…Larena Hubble. Congratulations, Larena!
I hope you’ve been enjoying the guest posts today. I’m so glad that you came to the party (and don’t forget, the fun continues until 11 PM tonight! More posts are coming!), and I’m very happy that you’re celebrating with me. I always love it when a book releases. And I’ve sure been eager for ANGEL OF DARKNESS to release!
I am also very glad that so many of my writing buddies are participating in the release party. My next spotlight is on my friend, Caridad Pineiro. Caridad is a NYT best-selling author. She writes fantastic stories–stories that grab hold of you and just don’t let go. She’s also an incredibly kind and generous lady.
Because she’s so awesome, Caridad is going to give a commenter a copy of her e-book ROOKIE OF THE YEAR and a $10 Amazon gift card. Very sweet deal, Caridad! Thank you!
Right now, let’s turn to a new release that Caridad has–her sexy paranormal, AMAZON AWAKENING, will be available on 12/1. Yes, I am so ready to load it onto my e-reader! And once you learn more about the tale, I think you’ll want to read it, too!
***
Counting down the days until the release of my first ever erotic paranormal romance, AMAZON AWAKENING, from Nocturne Cravings. It was so different for me to write a story where I pushed beyond the sexual boundaries I’d explored in so many other stories, but primary for me in writing these novellas (another 5 on their way in 2012 and 2013) was to have an intense and believable romance. For me, it’s all about the romance during whatever physical intimacy is happening. Even if I’m being daring and walking the edge during a love scene, there has to be a growing bond between the hero and heroine.
With that, here is a little blurb for you about AMAZON AWAKENING as well as a sexy excerpt!
Rey Peralta has been sent to persuade Paola Lopes to return to Brazil and take up her place as Priestess of the Guardians, protectors of the sacred realm hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest. He knows Paola is the one they need to ensure their survival—but he doesn’ t expect the instant blast of desire that sparks between them. Her beauty and power call to him, enticing him to merge with her physically and spiritually; a desire that only increases when they give in to their passion and make love. Can he convince Paola to accept her destiny and stay with her people—and by his side?

Erotic Paranormal Romance Amazon Awakening Excerpt
To enter Caridad’s giveaway, just tell me a secret (or not so secret!) craving that you have (come on–this is in honor of the Nocturne Craving line!). For me, I’ll always crave chocolate. Always.
Tweet It
I also crave chocolate
Thanks again for having me here, Cynthia! As for cravings, who doesn’t love chocolate. I have to confess to another craving: cheese. I know it sounds weird, but I could live with a good chunk of cheese, loaf of crusty bread and a bottle of red wine. Okay, maybe that’s multiple cravings. LOL!
Oh yeah who doesn’t crave chocolate! I love it! I also have pizza cravings too! And I also crave the cheese thing. I go from wanting sweet to salty back to sweet. LOL!
Cold pizza for breakfast. Love it.
Peace and quiet. With two boys and a puppy, sometimes I just crave solitude.
Totally can understand that!
Loved the excerpt, Caridad!! Can’t wait to read this one!
Thanks, Cynthia. I really had fun with this and the other Cravings coming up.
Ice cream!! I have a total sweet tooth that is always craving ice cream!
Amazon Awakening sounds like a great read! And I can’t wait to get my hands on Angel of Darkness!
Love ice cream. There is this great ice cream shop in Ocean Grove, NJ called Days. We’re there on the first day it opens in May and on the last day of the season in October.
For someone who never really liked reading before I crave books now. Honestly, it’s become an obsession. 🙂
LOL! A good obsession. I love to read as well.
My secret craving is to have my own room. I love my roommate but sometimes a person just needs their own space.
Definitely. I didn’t get my own room until after I got out of college and moved back home for a little bit.
First, Caridad-the new story sounds fantastic. Second, Thanks for making your release party full of surprises. Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of Angel of Darkness.
Okay, my craving is chocolate…love chocolate!!!
Thank you! Cynthia really knows how to throw a great party!
Hi Caridad! Really, really great excerpt…going to grab that chocolate and my hubby and squash those cravings;) What was your question again, never mind, thanks for the offer, gotta go!
LOL! Have fun with the hubby.
The book sounds so great! So, I crave weird things. This all started when I was pregnant with my son. Hotdogs. Yep, I crave hotdogs especially when I don’t have them for awhile! 🙂
That’s a good one, Allie. I was just writing a scene in a new book where the heroine was craving a dirty water hot dog.
Lindor truffles– hands down my favorite and most craved thing. My husband is an RN and he’ll bring me a few from the hospital giftshop when he wants to “butter me up”. LOL It works!
Those are tasty! Hubby sounds like a honey!
I crave cheesecake. LOL. Ben & Jerry’s strawberry cheesecake. Yum.
Writing wise… druids, elves (aka drow!!)
<3 Caridad
Thank you. Cheesecake is so tasty. We’ve got a great place across the street from the office – Junior’s. They make awesome cheesecake.
I crave awesome books!!
LOL, Betty. Good choice.
I also crave chocolate. But I crave fresh baked french bread with tomatoes and mayo. It is something my dad started me on as a kid. Nothing tastes better….LOL
Yummy, Michelle! That sounds really tasty.
I crave chocolate. Like the sound of your book, it sounds like a fantastic story.
Thanks, Jean. I’m glad you liked it.
Coffee, I am addicted, and dark chocolate too!
Hubby got me addicted to coffee. Have to have my cup before I hit the train and another one at the office to get going.
Chocolate… Always.. Especially Nutella.. I cannot live without it.
I didn’t find out about Nutella until later in life. Sooo tasty, especially on nice crusty bread.
i crave homemade fudge and peanut butter candy or peanut butter chocolate no bake cookies. All good but so bad for you lol
Lisa B
Peanut butter and chocolate are a great mix!
I crave my grandma’s homemade double fudge brownies!!! It’s “slap ya mama” good!!!! LOL!!! 😉 Yep, it’s that’s yummy!!!!
Slay ya mama?! Just made some awesome brownies for Thanksgiving.
“Slap ya Mama” is a comical saying here in the south!! LOL 😀
I always crave cheese. Anything with cheese is good!
Frappacinos…turtle ones with chocolate and caramel and extra shots of expresso and whip cream…
I am with you. Definitely love the cheese.
Ok chocolate of course. But I also crave bacon. Crispy bacon, yum!
Bacon! There was an entire show on the Food Network the other day on bacon, including bacon marmalade. No joke.
I crave peanut butter….cookies, reeses cups, straight out of the jar….anything that has the PB in it, I want some 🙂
PB is tasty. Favorite is PB&J sandwich with tomato soup.
Strawberry cheesecake and anything chocolate for me.
Both good choices. Yummy.
Carbs. Any and all carbs. My weakness and downfall.
I am a carboholic. I really need to cut back on them, you know.
I am craving tamales right now. I need to make them soon. That is when it really feels like christmas.–Rachel
OMG love tamales, but they take so much work!
I’m always craving chocolate 🙂
Can’t wait to read Rookie of the Year.
and Amazon Awakening sounds awesome.AWAKENING
Thanks, Elaine! Rookie was a lot of fun. I hope you guys will like my “return” to contemporary. Plus, who can’t love a sexy man in tight baseball pants? LOL!
I will also always crave chocolate but now that the kids are grown I would like a day with no dogs barking – we only have 4 lol.
Another great read!
4 dogs! That’s a lot to take care of.
Hmmmm I thinking I am craving ice cream 😀 My weakness. lol.
Totally love ice cream. Especially over hot apple pie.
My secret craving is cherry star-bursts. I can’t get enough of them…
Ever since I had my first one, I’ve craved Ferrera Rocher chocolates every holiday season:)
yadkny@hotmail.com
I love all kinds of sandwiches. It’s not a secret craving since I crave it all the type. Chicken salad, barbecue, BLT, egg salad or gourmet. Mmm.
I crave fried foods a lot, especially chips, donuts and fries.
I’m so lame *chuckle*
Other than good books (I mean, really, who doesn’t, right?) I always crave craft supplies. Do not ever let me loose in a bookstore or a craft store, for the damage to my budget can make me cry (after it’s done, of course, and the guilt will not make me enjoy the loot any less 😉 )
I love peanut butter and chips, they taste so good!
Cake and new books. But I can always eat cake, especially if its fresh with real icing.
Hi Caridad! Great post! I… hm. Crave being entertained, actually. 😀 Food wise though, I think I always crave french fries. It’s almost impossible for me to consider turning them down. And to think I always considered myself someone who preferred the sweet snacks!
Are we talking food? Or can I just say that I crave lookin at HOT MEN? lol
Plus, bein a woman, I get to change my mind; often! One minute it could be a dark truffle or something equally sinfull; the next minute I could crave french bread, cheese slices and salami…..but don’t EVER forget that bottle of wine that goes with it. (my roommate and I ate this at least 2x a week and watched The Fugitive! Yep, that same movie EVERY time! LOL
Pasta is a major weakness too! Glad I already ate, geesh!
Chocolate and hawt guys, a la Nathan Fillion, Jude Law, Hugh Dancy, Gerard Butler…. A la le sigh. 😉
Smutty Reads! lol
nachos dang i even want them right now mmmmmm.. nachos
meandi09@yahoo.com
lol this will make me sound dorky but I crave grilled cheese and tomato soup (My moms tomato soup) 🙂
My not so secret craving is anything pumpkin, especially pumpkin pie. I got to indulge that craving last week, and I’m resisting it until closer to Christmas. 😀
Cravings… right now it is Hot Chocolate & homemade cookies! Yum! 😀
Mine is cherry limeade 😀
My secret craving is Karamel Sutra ice cream. LOVE IT!
Chocolate tarts! It’s like egg tart but you replace the egg with oozing chocolate. It’s heavenly, I tell you.
