Megan Records, my lovely editor at Kensington Brava, sent me a most awesome package last week–Advanced Reader Copies of ETERNAL FLAME! (And in case you’re wondering–and have been following along with the Night Watch books–this story is about the demon Zane Wynter.)
Here’s the book cover:
And here’s the blurb:
No one that deadly should look that good. Hybrid demon Zane Wynter specializes in tracking the most lethal criminals, whether human or Other. But Jana Carter is nothing like his previous targets. She’s an Ignitor, able to conjure and control fire. She’s also sexy beyond belief—and used to playing dirty…
Jana knows she’s being set up. She even knows who’s responsible: Project Perseus, a secretive group that plans to rid the world of paranormals by any means necessary. From Louisiana’s sultry swamps to its desolate cemeteries, Jana and Zane must race to destroy the mastermind behind Perseus before their world goes up in flames—and with it, a desire that burns too hot to resist…
***
And, in case you’re curious, I’ve just put up an excerpt from ETERNAL FLAME. This excerpt is the very beginning of the book–our first glimpse of Zane.
Are you interested in winning an ARC? I have two that I want to giveaway (I’ll pick the winners tomorrow evening). To win, just tell me why you like bad boys (because Zane has a very bad streak).
Thanks!
I have been WAITING for Zane!!! Yay! Why do I like bad boys? Well…they’re exciting, sexy and willing to do whatever it takes to bring down the bad guy AND get the girl. 🙂
I’ve always been drawn to bad boys because they are just sexy. Look at Eric on True Blood for example.
What is it with Bad Boys in books having names that start with Z though. You have Zarek in Sherrilyn’s Dark Hunters, Zsadist in JR’s Black Dagger Brotherhood and now Zane in the Night Watch books. 🙂
I think every woman loves a bad boy. I know I do. Maybe it’s because there is always an air of dangerousness about them. It makes you wanne be that girl that helps bring him around. Or it can be that they always seem to have smoldering good looks and a heart of gold but are often misunderstood and just labled as a bad boy because society can’t grasp their deeper side. Anyway you slice it a bad boy is a hot commodity that every girl just has to have including me….^_^.
Why do I like bad boys? Because they’re the most interesting kind of boys! Mmm, Niol…
ZANE! Yay!!!!!
I love, love the bad boys….maybe because I’m such a goody-two-shoes (I don’t even jaywalk!) and opposites really do attract 😉
Bad boys are more of an overall challenge and who doesn’t like a good challenge? They are also sexier and definitely keep you on your toes!
I love strong dominant men and bad boys often personify those traits. Add to that the attitude that is part and parcel of a bad boy character and yep that just revs my engine.
I like bad boys because they are usually complex, edgy and hot. lol. But also because a lot of times a good girl feels like she can ‘fix’ or ‘improve’ a bad boy. There is just something appealing about that!
Thanks,
Scoot
Bad boys are more fun than good boys. They are rebels and charismatic, sexy and generally a turn on for most hot blooded women 😀 What’s not to like about a bad boy (as long as he isn’t truly evil!)
I like bad boys, because they are interesting and hot. As long as they don’t stray into too cruel area, I love them. Even then, sometimes they can be redeemed.
Bad boys are sexy often dangerous and if your lucky protective… What more could you ask for?
First of all I like bad boys because they’re manly, I mean, they’re seriously 100% man, and I like that very much of course, and secondly because they are not afraid to go to hell and back for what they believe 🙂
I love bad boys just because!!
Bad boys are just soooo darn interesting and fun 🙂 They usually have that whole alpha thing going for them, what woman doesn’t love that 😀 And there is a soft side to them; just need the right woman to find it, hee, hee, hee..
They can walk the walk and talk the talk 😀 They can kick serious butt and protect their woman.
Sighhhhhh 🙂
I love bad boys because they have a lot of substance to them. There is a reason they are bad and it’s quite telling. Most bad boys are not really all that bad once you cut through all the layers they have built up. I just LOVE them!
ah! I love Zane! I want to win so bad!
Okay…
Why do I like bad boys?
I am so into bad boys because there is never a dull moment. They are always willing to try new things. They also Get you to do things you normally wouldn’t do, but then fall in love with.
I dated a bad boy once and it was so much fun! We did a lot of street racing and would always go out to the clubs and take over the dance floor without a care in the world. He would take me places I would NEVER EVER in my life think about visiting. Of course this was all legal (except maybe street racing) & fun!
I love how most bad boys have such an open mind and are not afraid to speak their mind. They also seem fearless and are always willing to give a good fight when it comes to certain things, like their woman.
For example, Zane who is super hot/super blunt/super fearless and did I mention hot? hahaha
Don’t we all like the things that aren’t good for us(in society’s view anyway) better than what is considered “healthy”? I know I do.
There’s nothing like a sexy, handsome bad boy getting redeemed by the woman who was meant for him…sigh!!!!
And it’s also cool watching that redeemed bad guy kicking the real bad guys asses…hehe!!!

Because they are BAD; need I say more 😉
I like bad boy because you can explore with them so much more than with an ordinary guy and you will have more fun!
Because they are so much darn fun 😉
I like the bad boys because they offer danger, something that not everyone gets to experience! Plus they are so sexy shooting things or dressed all in black.
OMG, there is nothing sexier than a bad boy!! They’re mysterious, sexy, challenging, everything you want in a man ~~ and I can’t WAIT for Zane!!
I like bad boys because I am a bad girl 🙂
I like the bad guys/boys, maybe because I am a good, down to earth kind of person. They help me to imagine/see wants and needs through their eyes. And usually, they usually use their “badness” as a mask. I would also argue that being bad is only one aspect of the whole individual. People, even demons and immortals are not one-dimensional.
I like bad boys because of the element of adventure, exceitment, in other words a change from my mundane life and also because I probably wouldn’t have a hope in hell of gettung a bad boy 🙁
I like a bad boy because I’m not supposed to. You are told to stay away but each time that is said, it draws you closer and closer.
Wow, spelled my own name wrong. I think it’s time for another cup of coffee.
I love bad boys because they’re sexy and can guarantee you adventure and excitement.
Wow – who doesn’t love a bad boy. I love a bad boy because they play hard, love hard and take no crap from anyone. It’s also nice to see a bad boy being so protective of the people they care about. When I hear about bad boys I just smile, sigh and dream about what kind of bad boy I would want.
Bad boys are so much more interesting, we love to hate them. But we still want them. They are usually strong,sexy,arrogant and usually get what they want. What’s not to like.
What Shelley Estes and Lori said:D
Oooh Bad Boys!!! Love their sexiness, their attitudes, the excitement and adventure that they bring! 😉
Great cover. Bad boys are way more exciting and really know how to live and have fun.
I love the bad boys because they are every sinful thing I’d like to try but not brave enough to dare. Oh so tempting but unfortunately only mine in a book. So keep the bad boys coming and the women brave enough to grab on for the ride.
because once bad boys find the woman for them that bad boy can be really really good.
Ooh, who doesn’t love bad boys. They’re never boring, they have that alpha man thing going for them and they are usually willing to indulge every secret fantasy you’ve ever had. And there’s always the secret thrill you get when you’re afraid you might get caught doing something you shouldn’t…
I usually don’t go for bad boys, but Zane… for him I’ll make an exception! 🙂
Why do I like bad boys? Ummm…easy – they’re the most tempting! I love how raw, tough, angsty they can get *shivers*
As for Eternal Flame – Oh my flippin’ Gawd – I WANT THIS BAD!!! I’ve been in withdrawal ever since I finished reading I’ll Be Slaying You – I need my fix! HELP ME! 🙂
If open to all then I am in 🙂
I like bad boys, oh cos they are wicked! I am sure I’d like him cos I have a thing for guys whose names start with Z, Zsadist from BDB, Zarek from Kenyons books
I love bad boys because they simple are irresistible when they get all protective – there is nothing like a bad boy being redeemed by falling in love.
Yea! So, so, so, SO looking forward to this book!!!! 🙂
Bad boys are fun because they are unpredictable, and its so great to watch a bad boy fall in love 🙂
I like bad boys because there is a sense of danger about them and they keep you on your toes. You never get bored with a bad boy.
Because they make life so very much more fun. 🙂 And you never know what will happen next. And that cover just make Zane even yummier. 🙂
Because they are dirty. The whole treat me like a Princess outside of the bedroom, but treat me like a ….well you get the idea 😀
They are just so much fun!! I’m so glad I married my bad boy!
I like them because they’re wild and adventurous and I like the idea of taming them a little.
I like them because they keep things exciting and more times than not, they’re dreadfully sexy. Yum.
Bad boys are just so much more interesting. They have this wild side that’s crazy and fun at the same time; there’s just never a dull moment. And they bring passion to a story that good guys sometimes just can’t compete with, lol. I just love me some bad boys…*grin*
I love bad boys for their vibrancy and swagger. The tender feel good pieces on the inside.
