Warning: Love Moderately - My First Permanently Free eBook

2/25/2013

16 Comments

 
By the time I have this post live here in my blog, those who have subscribed to my newsletter should have #3 in their inboxes. You should check that out since it has my 2 EXCLUSIVE Valentines gifts for you guys.
  • A new chapter of A Royal Heartbreak
  • An excerpt of Warning: Love Moderately.

I am soooooo excited about my new free e-book. It's actually more a novella, at almost 20k words, BUT I do want you to know several things about it...
  1. It more or less has an HEA so you don't need to go crazy about cliffhanger endings.
  2. It will have a second (just that one) installment which will be out this March as well.
  3. It is a NEW ADULT erotic romance set in college.
  4. It is my first foray into the wonderfully dark world of BDSM. Well, okay it's more like BDSM-lite since my H/h just got legal at 21 y/o.
  5. It will be available in Smashwords and Amazon.

My sister - who is a whiz with online stuff - is formatting it already. If all goes according to plan, you can download it for free in Amazon by Friday - that would be the 1st of March. I really, really hope you guys would like it and IF you do, I'd appreciate a review. Well, okay, if you hate it, too, then you can of course review it still. We're all entitled to our own opinions. Just don't be too harsh, okay? haha.

Before I forget, here's the blurb .
As one of the heirs to the Christopoulos billions and his family’s political dynasty, 21-year-old Derek is used to living his life in the limelight. Add in his gorgeous looks and charm, and every girl has no problem seeing him as the hottest guy in uni---the very embodiment of a modern-day prince. Or so people mistakenly think.

Throughout his life, Derek has kept his darker desires leashed, waiting for that one girl who’d find pleasure in belonging to him, body and soul.

Jaike Hepburn’s unassuming looks hide a shameful past, one that forces her to run away from anything – anyone – that threatens her self-control. Derek is one such man, and the feelings he arouses in Jaike pushes her into the arms of his rival.

Jaike doesn’t trust herself with Derek, not when he is everything she desires...and fears.

But Derek believes differently. He knows it’s only a matter of time before the truth between them is laid bare.

She is his, and he is hers.

Picture
Aaaand here's the cover.

Now, mind you, this is  for the free short only. My co-author LM created it herself. If we had waited for a paid cover, we'd have to delay the release of the free short, which we totally didn't want to do. Expect a new cover for the 2nd (paid) installment. But anyway, I think this one is cool, too. It kinda sums up the story. :)

So anyway, come back once you've read the excerpts. I'd love to hear what you guys think!

Thanks again for the support!

I'm really, really blessed because of you guys.

Hi again Eva! :) Yeah, D will really really suffer in this one. Hehe. And I hope you get to download WLM. It's one of my sweetest stories but now it's also a lot sexy since I added BDSM to it. hehe

Marian I am so glad I found your books;) I have't yet read your horror story,but have fallen in love with all of your characters in the romance dept! Yuki is my new book boyfriend;)( lol that's the correct term yes?)
I really like the humor & emotions you are so talented in expressing..even the angst is enjoyable & I cannot wait for any of the sequels...but omg your short for WLM is torture! any hint on when the full story will be available?

Hi Devony! Love your name, btw. Can I use it as a name for a future character? =D
And yes, that is the correct term and I am super happy you think of Yuki that way. He's really one of my fave book boyfriends, and I don't care if people think I'm biased. haha
So happy you love the humor in my books - it's really something I can't help, and you'll know this to be true esp when you read my next book (out next week most likely).
As for WLM, hopefully before the summer ends it will be out. It has to take the backseat to the ones I'm under contract to release. :)

*siiighs*...darned contracts! Well I look forward to it;)Besides I will have the others to keep me company until then.
Thank you!(about my name)...it would be kinda cool to see a character created from you with that name;)
As for your humor None of your books would be nearly as good without it! Lol...I swear I haven't laughed so hard in years whilst reading! ...I still giggle thinking of Deli flying into a tree...or the whole scene with Yuki,KC & her bloody nose!...I swear that's what makes the story for me, because who hasn't had some excruciatingly embarrassing moment in their lives? your humor makes the stories relatable so keep it coming!
Lol sorry for my babble feast...stopping now!

My geez!!! I really can't stop reading WLM! I've started reading past midnight and drifted to sleep after a couple of hours reading and after I woke up, I started reading again! Haha! The way you write is really exquisite and I'm dying to finish the book! I'm proud that you're half Filipino! Keep up the good work!!! :D
