Reader’s Edyn

I always felt like I could do something more than just read. Finally, I have found both a creative outlet and a chance to do something meaningful with my reading. This blog was created in appreciation of and tribute to all of the authors who have brought me joy through their books. These reviews are my way of giving back to authors and providing recognition for the hard work that each one completes every day!

Book Feature & Giveaway with Author Olivia Starke


Book Feature and Giveaway with Author Olivia Starke


Hello my lovelies! I have another fabulous treat for you today! Thanks to the wonderful Coffee Beans and Love Scenes, I have the opportunity to tell you about Ms. Olivia Starke. And additionally, there will be a fun giveaway for one of you to enjoy! So kick up your feet, grab a cup of coffee or hot tea, and let’s get to know a bit about MIDNIGHT MADNESS by Olivia Starke.

Here is a bit about Ms. Starke:

Olivia Starke calls a little town in southern Missouri home. Some of the most beautiful country in the U.S., she loves the Ozarks and hikes, runs, or kayaks whenever possible. When not working at her laptop or in her retail management job, she’s playing mom to an ever expanding collection of dogs, cats, and horses who find their way to her little farm.


**MIDNIGHT  MADNESS**
Published by Decadent Publishing
Contemporary Erotic M/M/F Paranormal Romance


**BOOK  BLURB**

Maddie takes a weekend camping trip to forget her two timing ex-boyfriend. Instead of peace and quiet, she stumbles upon two hunks who put the wild in wilderness. And they have plans of their own—to heat up her sexless life. An evening of rowdy lovin’ is just what she needs to get over her broken heart.

When she joins them in a trio that leaves her satisfied and exhausted, they have one more surprise in store called Midnight Madness...


**EXCERPT**
(adult content)

Who the hell has an orgy in the middle of the wilderness?

Reported random animal attacks had been Maddie’s concern, not the harassing sounds of sex. She needed peace and quiet to lick her wounds and sort out her life. Not the lusty grunts of some overzealous man giving it to his lady. For the past two hours.

Seriously, two flippin’ hours? She charged through the woods, ready to rain on someone’s parade. They’d just have to find someplace else to have an obscenely loud lovefest.

“God, the nerve of some people.”

She batted at a fly buzzing around her head. So what if she hadn’t had an orgasm in four months—thanks to her selfish ex-boyfriend—well, not one that wasn’t self-induced. And who cared if sex had been nonexistent while the relationship had suffered a slow, painful death.

“Men suck. Certainly no marathon lovemaking for me anytime soon.” She yanked at a limb and flinched when it lashed back against her face, knocking her glasses off. Unreasonable anger boiled over.

“Son-of-a-bitch, piece of….” She kicked out at nothing in particular, giving in to the long overdue temper tantrum. Brambles hooked around her foot and she did a face plant on the leaf-covered forest floor. My utter lack of grace strikes again. Rolling onto her back, she spit out dirt and stuck a scraped finger into her mouth. The wound smarted, distracting her from her fury. She stared at the blue sky through the budding tree limbs, sweat breaking out on her brow. The unseasonably warm spring had driven her to seek a peaceful weekend camping retreat. Maybe she should’ve opted for a hotel with air-conditioning instead. And a six pack of beer, give or take another twelve pack.

“Oh God, yes! More, more, more….” The deep, male voice echoed through the hollow.

Maddie pummeled the ground with her fists. “You oversexed freak!” Her words were drowned out by the man’s grunts.

    1. Hi Amy - Thanks so much for stopping by! And it does seem as though people will act a bit differently when a break-up occurs. As far as details? I'm good. I have enough books to keep me amused with stories that may or may not be similar to your own. *wink* Love the warning! That is pretty cute. :) Best of luck in the giveaway!

    1. Ms. Starke - I can relate to that! Better late than never they say, so I think that makes your appearance (no matter when) acceptable. :) In any case, I am happy to see that you could join us. And thanks very much for appearing on the blog.
