And the reviews...
Caffeinated Reviewer gave The Lasaran audiobook a fantastic 5-star review. You can read the full review HERE. This week has been so hectic that I just started listening to the audiobook myself last night and am really enjoying it. Kirsten Potter has done yet another stellar job of bringing the characters to life.
Book Dragon gave Taelon and Lisa's story a fabulous 5-star review, too. And equally awesome reviews have been rolling in. Here are a few from Amazon and/or Goodreads:
"Let me first
state that I do not normally read sci-fi romance, so I was a little worried
when I first heard about Dianne Duvall’s new series. Since I love her Immortal
Guardians series, I gave this a chance, and boy am I glad that I did!!! I
absolutely LOVED this book."
—Cynthia Trotman
"Just amazing. The characters are beautifully written being both memorable and engaging, the pace is swift and steady with nary a falter, and the overall arc of the story is sweeping, moving, and high octane. There's also plenty of humour to play counterpoint to the deeper and/or darker moments."

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! Since I"m still celebrating Release Week, I thought I would share a brief excerpt of The Lasaran that features Taelon and Lisa (the hero and heroine):
_____________________________
She
believed him. Sliding her fingers into his hair, she drew his head down and
claimed his lips in a longer, deeper kiss. His arms tightened around her. His
tongue delved inside to stroke her own. Desire swept through her, heating her
blood and driving her to fist his hair.
He
groaned. And Lisa knew it wasn’t from pain this time, but need. He buried one
hand in her hair and tilted her head so he could deepen the kiss even more. His
other hand caressed her back and pressed her closer, reminding her that they
were both naked.
What
the hell was she doing?
She
broke the kiss and stared up into emerald green.
Taelon
affected her in ways no other man had.
“What
are we doing?” she whispered.
A
twinkle of mischief entered his eyes. “Breaking a number of Lasaran laws.”
Her
lips twitched. “Aside from that.”
He
shook his head. “I don’t know. I’m so drawn to you, Lisa.”
“I’m
drawn to you, too.”

If you haven't read/listened to it yet, I hope you'll enjoy Taelon and Lisa's story. I really love these two together.
Many of those who have already read/listened to it have been asking when Book 2 will release. I don't have a release date yet, but I'm writing it now and am having a lot of fun with it.
Stay safe!
