Promo/Review for the new boxed set release of THE SEX DEMON TRILOGY by Jaye Shields

THE SEX DEMON TRILOGY

Confessions of a Sex Demon – Claiming of a Sex Demon

 Addictions of a Sex Demon

by Jaye Shields

Available now in one boxed set!

Tap Into Your Inner Sex Demon...

Sex demons need constant climax to survive. Orgies and promiscuous sex tend to be an everyday thing, but finding love is not. Dive into The Sex Demon Trilogy and meet three sex demons who find love in the least likely of places. With these tales of love come danger, heartbreak, and hot, hot sex like only a sex demon can do it.

Content Warning: strong language, light BDSM scenes, girl-on-girl action, and all kinds of sex demon mayhem.

CONFESSIONS OF A SEX DEMON:

Sex Demon Zahra Aniron is a closet romantic. Too bad she spends her time having hot kinky sex with paying strangers. But the sex demon has to work with what she’s got to save her sister from her debt to wizard thugs. Then again, there could be worse things than getting paid for pleasure since a sex demon needs climax to survive.

As a blacksmith, Lennox Aegros puts his fury to good use pounding steel into swords. His real cause for moving into a new town isn’t to sell weaponry, it’s for revenge. When he finds the succubus he’s been searching for, her beauty means he can mix business with pleasure. But the joke’s on Lennox, because as he succeeds in torturing his victim, he realizes that Zahra’s slow demise means the breaking of a heart he never realized he had.

The first story in the trilogy, CONFESSIONS OF A SEX DEMON, is a sexy, steamy, on the edge of BDSM, erotic romance that will leave you craving more from this talented author. Zahra is a succubus. This means that she needs sexual release in order to keep up her strength, or she will die. There’s no better profession for a young beautiful succubus who desperately need funds to pay off a debt incurred by her drug addicted adopted sister, Sephina, than prostitution. From the first page, we are drawn into the world Zahra inhabits. It's not easy, it's not glamorous, and it's certainly not safe. Then just when she thinks her station in life can sink no lower, she's kidnapped and tortured without a single notion of why. Lennox is a man set on revenge. His wife cheated on him with a male succubus who happens to be Zahra's brother, Reza. When Lennox arrives in the village of Sprecia, he's immediately drawn to the beautiful sex demon, Zahra, and plots his revenge on Reza by torturing and possibly killing his sister. The last thing Lennox expects is to fall in love with the beautiful sex demon.

I highly recommend CONFESSIONS OF A SEX DEMON by Jaye Shields if you are even the slightest bit a fan of paranormal romance. This isn't just your normal vamp/werewolf/witch paranormal either - this is much more and will have you hooked from the first steamy scene which, by the way, is exactly where the story begins.

CLAIMING OF A SEX DEMON:

It's not easy for a sex demon to find a wife, and it's even harder when the perfect woman is already taken.

Emmerie Winter has only been married a few months, but depression has made her a fragile stranger in the arms of her husband. She knows she should love him, but she doesn't, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't convince her heart otherwise.

When a sex demon with a boyish grin and a sinful body arrives in town, Emmerie's world is turned upside down. His intense passion for life sends her depression into hiding, but her feelings for the sinful male could get her in deep trouble.

A sex demon needs climax to survive, but that's never been a problem for Reza Aniron as women seem to be unable to resist his charms…all except for one, a timid, blonde angel who treats him with complete indifference. But in her eyes he can see a fire that's just waiting to be released. And he always did love a challenge.

*** Content Warning: strong language, extramarital relations, and graphic erotic situations.

CLAIMING OF A SEX DEMON by Jaye Shields is actually the prelude to CONFESSIONS OF A SEX DEMON. You will get more in the way of backstory when you read CLAIMING OF A SEX DEMON. This sort of prequel is slightly less paranormal and erotic than CONFESSIONS, but its erotic romance that takes romance to a new height. Yes, a sex demon comes to town and destroys a relationship, but somehow it seems right. Emmerie needs passion in her life, even though she cares deeply for Lennox, and Reza is definitely the man to give it to her - and boy, does he! Reza is the sexiest sex demon you will ever meet even as Emmerie is a meek little thing who doesn’t care much for sex - until she meets Reza. At first, she seems undeserving of such an impassioned man but soon her sexual side begins to awaken, and it’s obvious that she and Reza are truly meant for each other.

I highly recommend this one to anyone who wants some thrill with their romance, some naughty rather than nice, and a little bit of that somethin' somethin' that you're looking for in a steamy quick read.

ADDICTIONS OF A SEX DEMON:

Sephina is about to trade one addiction for another—and his name is Axel.

Sephina Antara has gotten into a lot of trouble as a sex demon with a drug addiction. Moving to a new village was supposed to help her get clean. But when she relapses, it comes with a side of hot dragon man.

Axel Stavros may be a drug dealer, but he's also the town healer. Half-human, half-dragon, his blood can cure just about anything, but it has some erotic side effects for its user, as the new beauty in town is about to find out…

Content Warning: graphic language, hot foreplay, and even hotter sex, including light bondage and some girl-on-girl action.  

The third story in the trilogy, ADDICTIONS OF A SEX DEMON, takes us further into the unusual realm in which we are journeying when we meet the sexiest half-man half-dragon you could ever imagine – Axel Stavros. He’ll have you fanning yourself and begging for more. Sephina is a succubus or sex demon with pink hair and a great need. She needs regular sexual climax to stay healthy and with her addiction to ground fae wing, she needs a lot. Meeting Axel, a Quetzelam in heat, is her salvation since he’s in need of even more sex than she can ever want. It’s a win-win situation for both and a thrill for us, even when things get dangerous.

Jaye Shields never ceases to amaze me at how much action, story line, and hot, steamy sex she manages to fit into a novella. In ADDICTIONS OF A SEX DEMON, she does no less. Not only does she continue to create a world that is both unusual yet recognizable, she gives us a deeper insight into the world of the Quetzelam as well as their unusual needs, and fears. Axel is sexy, hot stuff, and in more ways than one, yet intriguing and very easy to fall in love with, just as Sephina does.

THE SEX DEMON TRILOGY:

None of these stories will disappoint, in fact, read together they will leave you in much need of cooling off but smiling in satisfaction. I highly recommend THE SEX DEMON TRILOGY by Jaye Shields to anyone who loves paranormal romance but is looking for something different from the usual PNR read, and to anyone who loves romance at its best whether it’s paranormal, contemporary, or historical – THE SEX DEMON TRILOGY satisfies.

And for a limited time only...this boxed set is only 99¢! Holy Erotic!
Happy Reading Everyone!

Confessions of a Sex Demon

Zahra proves that sex demons do it better as she goes from captive to captivator.

Sex Demon Zahra Aniron is a closet romantic. Too bad she spends her time having hot, kinky sex with paying strangers. But she needs the money to pay off her sister's debt to wizard thugs. There could be worse things than getting paid for pleasure, especially since a sex demon needs climax to survive.

When he finds the succubus he's been searching for, her beauty means he can mix business with pleasure. But the joke's on Lennox, because as he succeeds in torturing his victim by repeatedly bringing her to the brink of orgasm and then denying her the release that she so desperately needs, he realizes that Zahra's slow demise means the breaking of a heart he didn't think he had.

Wacky Wednesday: ADDICTIONS OF A SEX DEMON by Jaye Shields Blog Stop

Welcome to my stop on the ADDICTIONS OF A SEX DEMON by Jaye Shields Blog Tour. I love the Sex Demon Trilogy. I love the Sex Demons. And now the Trilogy is complete! I first fell in love with this series after reading CONFESSIONS OF A SEX DEMON, the first published in the series, Jaye's debut novella, and the beginning of an incredibly enjoyable journey with Zahra and Lennox, Emmerie and Reza, and now Sephina and Axel.

If you're a regular here at Unwrapping Romance, you know how I love series. I love that we meet new characters with each story, then experience their aftermath when we meet them again in the next installment. When a series is done correctly, its as if it's a never-ending story and that's exactly how the Sex Demon Trilogy works. Although the trilogy began with CONFESSIONS, I highly recommend a new reader to the series begin with CLAIMING OF A SEX DEMON which gives us our real start in the series.

Emmerie Winter has been married only a few months, but depression has made her a fragile stranger in the arms of her husband. When a sex demon with a boyish grin and a sinful body moves into town, Emmerie's world is turned upside down. His intense passion for life sends her depression into hiding, but her feelings for the sinful man could get her in deep trouble.
 
 A sex demon needs climax to survive, but thats never been a problem for Reza Aniron. When the glorious specimen of a male arrives in a small village, the women fall at his feet, only a timid blonde angel doesn't seem to take notice. But he can see in her eyes a fire waiting to be released. And he always did love a challenge.
 
***In CLAIMING OF A SEX DEMON, we meet Emmerie Winter and Lennox Aegros - a newly married couple who seem to be living a happy life together but unknown to Lennox, Em is not totally happy or satisfied in the life she's facing with Lennox. Enter Reza Aniron, a succubus or sex demon, who not only shows Em how different her life can be both in and out of bed but opens her heart to real love. What happens to Lennox, you wonder? Well, that's when you move on to CONFESSIONS OF A SEX DEMON.

But the joke's on Lennox, because as he succeeds in torturing his victim by repeatedly bringing her to the brink of orgasm and then denying her the release that she so desperately needs, he realizes that Zahra's slow demise means the breaking of a heart he didn't think he had.

***In CONFESSIONS OF A SEX DEMON, Lennox Aegros is looking for revenge. Revenge on any member of Reza Aniron's family whether spouse, lover, or sister. When he discovers a beautiful succubus, or sex demon, named Zahra Aniron in the marketplace, he knows on whom he will exact his revenge. Along with Zahra, we meet her adopted sister, Sephina Antara, and learn about their relationship and how Zahra saved Sephina from an abusive father. She's trying her best to keep the young pink-haired sex demon on the right track and away from drugs. In order to do this, Zahra must prostitute herself, and so, it is how she falls into the clutches of Lennox, a man determined to make her suffer so that Reza will feel the same loss he feels losing Em to a sex demon. Zahra has a strong will to live and also recognizes a kindred soul when she meets him. This one is still my favorite and if you're not already hooked by this unusual trilogy, I believe the romance that blooms out of heartbreak in this story will ensure your addiction by the time they reach their happily-ever-after. Fortunately, we meet Zahra and Lennox again in ADDICTIONS OF A SEX DEMON.

Sephina is about to trade one addiction for another—his name is Axel.
​
Moving to a new village was supposed to help Sephina Antara get clean. After all, she’d gotten into a lot of trouble as a sex demon with a drug addiction.  This time her relapse comes with a side of hot dragon man.
​
Axel Stavros may be a drug dealer, but he’s also the town healer. Half-human, half-dragon, his blood can cure just about anything, but it has some erotic side effects for its user. And the new beauty in town is about to find out...

This is the newest of the series and the final story that brings it all together and in which you will see a definite connection, or introduction possibly, to Jaye Shields' other amazing series, the Immortals In Alameda - if you love the Sex Demon Trilogy, by all means continue on to this series, the first two books of which are already available - SECRETS OF THE FOG and SECRETS OF THE SKY. (you can click on the titles for my reviews of these awesome stories)

***In ADDICTIONS OF A SEX DEMON, we meet Axel Stavros, by far one of the sexiest and most lovable demons ever. Even with blue skin and scales, this half-man/half-dragon is all man and a most fiery lover. He quickly wins over Sephina and before long, it's he that is risking his life to protect her. The steam factor in this story is about more than the sex, although the sex is mighty HOT!

Excerpt from ADDICTIONS OF A SEX DEMON by Jaye Shields:

Axel reached out and touched the soft flesh of the woman. He'd been given the gift of a hellion with the face of an angel. Her cheek fit perfectly in his palm as he cupped her face. Her eyes flickered in response, shifting from a playful, yellow glow to a deep, primal, amber hue. He drew his finger down her shoulder and observed the heated silk of her skin.

 

"You're hot enough to be a dragon's mate." He spoke gently, afraid to spook her.

 

Her dainty hand swatted him away. "A sexual demon like you doesn't need cheesy pickup lines."

 

He frowned. "Your skin is very warm, woman. What are you?"

 

"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours."

 

Axel appraised her and was happy to note that her climax had helped stop the trembling of her hands. But it would only be a matter of time before the effects of the withdrawal continued. "My name is Axel Stavros, one of the few quetzalem in this realm."

 

He searched her face for a reaction, but found none. Instead, the firecracker ran a hand through her electric pink hair, mussing it up so that she looked like she'd just rolled out of bed. He groaned at the thought.

 

"Quetzalem, huh? Well, that explains the tasty BBQ smokehouse quality of your skin."

 

He frowned. There was no detecting how this woman truly felt about his intentions. "You are familiar with my breed then? Perhaps you know that once a year we go into heat for twelve hours, and during this time we need constant climax to fan the embers of the brimstone lacing our bones. If we do not, our brimstone dries. Never more can we get it back once the cinders turn to ash."

 

"Well, it's a good thing you found the sex demon in town, isn't it?"

Wacky Wednesday: Coffee Break With Jaye Shields at Tera's Coffee Shop in SECRETS OF THE FOG

A while back, I reviewed the fabulous new paranormal romance novel, SECRETS OF THE FOG by Jaye Shields. It is book one in the Immortals in Alameda Trilogy and an absolutely wonderful read whether you're into paranormal or not. Think Clash of the Titans or Thor - if you enjoyed those, you're going to love this one! Before we get started on our adventure with Jaye Shields today, if you haven't read my review of SECRETS OF THE FOG, please feel free to click on the title but hurry back, we're going on a journey and when we return, you'll have a chance at winning a copy of this exciting new book!

Blurb for SECRETS OF THE FOG:

When the dryad Tera’s friends inform her that the portal on Alcatraz Island is buzzing with an arrival, she thinks her goddess mother has come to visit. When Tera arrives at the portal to welcome her, she doesn’t find her mother, she finds a gigantic otherworldly warrior causing mass destruction among the San Francisco tourists. Being a forest dryad born from the Goddess of the Hunt has its perks, and kicking ass is one of them.

Sabin is six-feet-six of hard-bodied soldier, used to subduing demons twice his size. One day after chasing an elusive smoke demon through a portal into the human realm, Sabin is brought to his knees by a beautiful woman, literally. After arriving at a pier full of dead bodies, Tera issues a passionate smack-down before Sabin can explain that he’s the good guy.

He’s just in time: an ancient grudge has come to life. Eris, the Goddess of Chaos, has held a bitter hatred for Tera’s mother, Artemis, for over 400 years – and now she’s ready to destroy all dryads – including Tera.

                                    *                         *                         *                        *

***The following passage has been created with the permission and approval of the author, Jaye Shields, using an excerpt from SECRETS OF THE FOG. Everything in italics is taken directly from the book and the rest I created. Enjoy!


Jaye Shields and I sat quietly at a table in the coffee shop owned by Tera, whose real name is Agrotera. She is a Dryad of the Muir Woods. We're quietly nursed our drinks, Jaye with her latte, a heart drawn in the foam, and me with my unsweetened iced tea. We watched the goings on in the busy café while enjoying our quiet coffee break.

Two women were working behind the counter. We've learned from listening in that their names are Morgana and Melissandra Reed. They are the aunts of the barista who usually takes over the café when the owner is MIA, as she was now.

Speaking of their niece, her name is Sparrow Reed and she had just arrived for her shift. She was a tiny little bird-like woman befitting her name. We watched as she tied on one of the many homemade, colorful aprons as she pushed past her aunts at the front counter and disappears into the kitchen.

Jaye and I exchange dglances when we heard the aunts, both of them, trying to convince a gentleman at the counter to try one of their delicious biscotti. We've been nibbling on some of our own that we ordered so we know they are delicious. They just seemed so insistent.

Sparrow hurried back into the customer area and approached us when we heard the man at the counter speak up.

“No, thank you.” The voice was deep and masculine, and utterly sexy. “I’m not hungry.”

Sparrow groaned.

"Obviously, my aunts have been trying to trick Duncan, the local vampire, into a mystically enhanced treat. I keep telling them, he doesn't eat." Sparrow told us with a shrug of her shoulders. "Can I get you folks anything else?"

Before we could answer, we heard one of the aunts say to the other, “I told you, Melissandra, he’d never take food. It’s always the same, black coffee, untouched.”

“Well, excuse me, sister, if I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try to get him to taste a hexed

biscotti,” Melissandra frowned at her older sister.

Heaving a long sigh, Sparrow tossed a towel over her shoulder. "They strong arm me into an absinthe binge, and then don’t even bother with a measly levitation to put me in my bed?”

Morgana, who has wandered nearby, smiled sweetly. and patted Sparrow’s head while Melissandra explained from behind her. “Well, Tera said the vamp was harmless, so I didn’t think it’d be a problem to charm the guy’s biscotti with an anti-shirt incantation—oh, and it wasn’t an absinthe binge. You’re just a lightweight, darling.”

“Don’t be such a cougar, Melissandra.”

“I resent that label.” Dropping her jaw as if to imply scandal, the fifty-something-year-old

toyed with her long silver and blond-streaked hair. “Besides, he is decades older than I am, I’m sure.”

“I am not a lightweight. You guys just drink too much.” Sparrow threw up her hands in

exasperation before pointing a finger at Melissandra. “And you. He looks like he’s my age for crying out loud, so please don’t sign up for Blood Banks Anonymous.”

The three Reeds glanced over their shoulders to drink in the sight of the vampire and we joined them.

He was stretched out comfortably on one of the armchairs, with faded blue jeans and a Green River band tee. Sparrow commented her appreciation for his musical taste but still didn't trust him as far as she could throw him.

Jaye remarked quietly to me that judging from the ropes of lean muscle under the grunge band shirt, she wouldn’t be throwing him at all.

Sparrow disclosed to us in a low voice that after much sleuthing though, Tera had deemed him harmless, and she had deemed him a good tipper. Melissandra had deemed him eye candy. And Morgana liked to watch her sister make a fool out of herself around the gorgeous vampire.

“So, elephant in the room...” Sparrow finally tried to turn the conversation to the ritual from the prior evening.

“You really think he’s too old for me?”

“No, you’re too old for him.” Morgana slapped her sister over the head playfully.

“I meant the chaos we saw last night in the looking glass.” Sparrow rolled her eyes dramatically, which only earned her a whack on the head from both her aunts.

The bells on the front door jingled and a customer walked in. All of us looked to see who it was.

"Uh oh," Sparrow murmured. "Something unusual yet familiar about this one."

We all watched the young woman approach. The girl was exotic-looking, definitely new in town. Her tan, olive-tone skin peeked out of a bright blue pea coat, and long, raven-colored hair framed electric blue eyes. Eyes that apparently couldn’t be pried away from the vampire lounging on one of the couches. Not that any of us could blame her.

"There is something," Sparrow began to say. "Shape shifter." We watched as Sparrow shot a glance at her aunts. She received nods of agreement; they had sensed the same thing.

Smiling, Sparrow greeted the young woman as if she was none the wiser. “Hi, what can I get for you today?”

“Oh, hi. Actually, I was hoping to see if you guys needed any help. I just moved to the area.

Back home I was a barista and I smelled coffee so I thought this might be a good place to start.”

We watched carefully as Sparrow surveyed the girl’s hopeful, shy face.

“Well, you’ve got a great nose and perfect timing.” Smiling mischievously, she paid attention to see if the girl reacted to the subtle compliment on her sense of smell. Generally, animals did have a superior sense of smell. “One of our girls is having a baby soon, so she’ll hang up her barista apron shortly. Let me give you an application and I’ll give it to Tera when she comes in.”

Sparrow returned to where her aunts were standing just off to the side of us. Thankfully, we were able to listen in.

“I sense a feline in that woman,” Morgana voted.

“No, she’s far more exotic. I bet she’s a wolf,” Melissandra quipped.

“I think Morgana is right this time. Feline, definitely. I sensed it. Just say it’s the bird in me

looking out for my feathers.”

After Sparrow gave the stranger an application, we all watched the shifter make her way back through the coffee shop. On her way out, the vampire stopped her.

"What’s going on? I thought you said Duncan was harmless?” Morgana whispered.

“Here, child.” Melissandra swatted Sparrow with a damp cloth. “Go clean that table over

there and keep an ear out for what he’s saying.”

 I leaned toward Jaye so that only she could hear my question.

"So what do you think? Is the vampire interested in the shape shifter?"

“As a matter of fact,” Jaye tossed her blonde locks behind her and eyed the handsome vampire, “I’d bet a book contract on it.”

 

Amy:  Folks, Jaye Shields won that bet!!  I hope you all enjoyed our little visit to Tera's coffee shop as featured in SECRETS OF THE FOG by Jaye Shields. Jaye and I certainly did!

Jaye:  Amy, thank you for having me today on Unwrapping Romance. I’m honored to have gotten to know you after I submitted my first release, CONFESSIONS OF A SEX DEMON for review. I had so much fun back in September and love that I’ve gotten to read a bit from you as well, you talented woman, you!

Amy:  Jaye, accepting COASD for a read and review was one of the best things I ever did. Not only did I get introduced to an extraordinary new talent and some wonderful reads but made a good friend in the process. Thank you, sweetie!

My dear readers, if you missed my review of CONFESSIONS OF A SEX DEMON, feel free to click on the title to go there but do come back, we've got more fun coming! 

 

Jaye:  I love that you chose this excerpt because I was hoping that readers would enjoy all these characters as much as I do. SECRETS OF THE FOG is the first release in the Immortals in Alameda series, but the first book I actually wrote was SECRETS OF THE JAGUAR, Michelle and Duncan’s story. The next book set to release is SECRETS OF THE SKY,  Sparrow and Rowan’s book. I’m glad you’ve had a chance to meet Sparrow here today. Look forward to more antics between her and her aunts. Oh, and a studly half-naked, immortal warrior - of course. *cough* Anyone want a piece of Rowen, our Knight of the Fog? He and Sparrow will be hitting book shelves in February!

 

Amy:  How exciting! I know I'm looking forward to both of these stories very much and definitely want a piece of Rowan! These Immortals are super hot and the action is non-stop with these guys - all kinds of action, if you know what I mean. *wink*

 

Speaking of action - how about we give away a digital copy of this fabulous first book in a series destined to become must reads for anyone who reads SECRETS OF THE FOG? I'm going to ask my dear friend and wonderful guest, Jaye Shields, to ask the question to give you a reason to comment for a chance to win! Jaye?

 

Jaye:  I’m so excited that Unwrapping Romance is hosting a giveaway for a copy of SECRETS OF THE FOG. My question for the Giveaway is:
