About
The Author:
Azura Ice writes several
subgenres of romance, which includes, but is not limited to het, ménage, m/m
and can be set in contemporary times or even in a far away world or another
dimension. Azura’s muse leads her by the hand, and her fingers do the
light-speed typing.
Who is Azura Ice? She’s a
full-time author represented by an awesome literary agent. She is also owned by
two crazy felines of tabby descent (although they swear they’re of Egyptian
lineage). Azura writes in an attic study that overlooks a beautiful valley, and
enjoys her husband’s company when he’s permitted to enter her domain. However,
if he brings offerings of coffee and an occasional chocolaty treat, she’s
inclined to let him in her office more often.

Excerpt:
No need to call the police,” Roman
finally replied to the chauffeur. “No harm is done.”
He returned his attention to Nova, who
still sat trying to get her bearings. She pushed her hair out of her face and
watched as his gaze swept her body for injuries. The simple action almost
forced a desirous gasp from her lips.
“An aircar in front of the limo
stopped unexpectedly when a taxi darted straight up in front of it.” Slowly, he
moved his right hand from her arm up to brush the rest of her hair out of her
eyes. “Are you okay?” Concern resided in his voice. “I don’t see anything on
you that’s bruised or scraped. Is anything sprained?”
Oh, she could think of a couple things
she’d like to sprain. “I don’t think so.”
He gripped her chin lightly and turned
her head to the left then the right. “Did you hit the seat with your face?”
She shook her head. “You caught me in
time. I’m just a little rattled, that’s all.”
Something flickered in his eyes. They
deepened from vibrant jade to deep, forest green. Before she could react, he
bent his head toward hers, fingers still gently grasping her chin. Her breath
hitched, and the startled rhythm of her heart leapt into a frantic one.
Mesmerized, she watched as he closed the distance between them. His lips
touched hers, tentatively at first. When she didn’t protest, his mouth slanted
across hers, his breath sweet and warm.
Shocked, Nova uttered a tiny sound
that he devoured. She could only sit still as he kissed her. Surprise
transformed into delight, and she melted against him, reveling in the sensation
of his lips upon hers, the way he tasted so overwhelmingly male. The
inebriating aromas of his cologne and natural scent wreaked havoc with her
rationale, and the hard planes of his chest beneath her palms hinted at the
muscles beneath. With one hand, Roman cupped her cheek for a second before
threading the fingers of his other one in her hair. He deepened the kiss,
trailing his hand from her face to her shoulder. Slowly, he passed it down her
arm, each hair stiffening against the caress.
Desire roared through Nova. She wanted
him so much, needed to feel his naked body on top of hers. Heat settled in her
core, the intensity of it forcing a whimper to her lips. At her soft noise,
Roman kissed her harder and sighed as if he’d tasted the most delectable candy.
“You have reached your destination,”
the limo’s computer announced.
“Sir?” the droid said.
Reluctantly, Roman drew back. Nova
sucked in a shaky breath, her senses spinning as if she’d just stepped off an
amusement ride. She blinked rapidly, trying to process everything, and looked
up at Roman, who regarded her with desire smoldering in his gaze.
Reason returned to her. She scrambled
up onto the seat and collected her handbag. “This is my stop. Th-thank you
again for dropping m-me off.”
“Nova—”
“I, uh, better get inside. Kazzi is
probably wondering what’s been keeping me.” At those words, heat rushed to her
face. Nova fumbled with the sensors on the door, nearly falling out on the
curb. She caught her balance and straightened. “Uhm, have a nice lunch.
Goodbye.”
Sarah's Review:
Thank you to Decadent Publishing for asking me to review this story. Thank you to Azura Ice for creating a story that made me want to go out of my comfort zone in terms of romance. Sci-Fi romance is a genre that I normally don't read. Ms. Ice made the perfect statement on my FB page when I was talking about reading out of my comfort zone: "It's like trying a new dish. It tastes great, but it's so different, you have to take your time so you can get used to the new flavor."
I truly enjoyed reading this story but the sci-fi aspect was definitely out of my comfort zone. I loved the dynamic between Roman and Nova. I loved the romance that built between the two of them.
If you are a sci-fi romance person, you will like this story.
