Excerpt from HEART OF VESUVIUS ...*CONTEST*
“You took advantage of me. I hate you,” she seethed.
“Your mind does.” Salvator kept hold of her leg; intense eyes traveled slowly up her thigh.
“But not your body.”
A new fire lit her blood beneath his arrogant, knowing appraisal. Why him? Why now? In all her life, all her long centuries as a vampire, her body had been her own. Now she wasn’t so sure. In fact, as liquid, hot warmth filled her icy veins, her body remembered his enticing touch. No, not enticing but mind-blowing. Surely she had lost her mind altogether to allow such a thing. And allow she had.
She exhaled, recalling how his long muscled body felt pleasantly heavy when it covered hers, dominating in a way she couldn’t exactly label as rape. No, she had wanted it, wanted it desperately at one point, maybe a few points…Maybe the whole time. Her nipples suddenly felt tight, breasts heavy, as though they remembered too. Alex groaned in denial when her whole body seemed to thrum in response to the mere thought of what he’d done to her.
His hand inched up her calf, fingers creative and searching, Italian accent soft and forgiving.
“See, bella, now you remember.”
Salvator remained dripping wet, tall body clad in black, hair sleek against his head, deep set smoky blue eyes delving into hers. Sexy as hell, this vampire. Alex lowered her lashes and offered a small, inviting smile. Eager, lustful eyes glowed hungrily in response. His hand traveled further, she bent her knee, allowed him inch-by-inch further access.
“I do remember,” she murmured, enthralled by his beauty, maleness.
“Si,” he whispered, his long fingers skirting the top of her thigh. “Very good.”
Taking his hand, she entwined her fingers with his, pulled him closer, and made to kiss his hand.
Then aimed true and kicked hard.
Salvator, ancient vampire, dropped to his knees; hand on his crotch, eyes wide. Alex wasted no time and punched him square in the face with all the power of an eight hundred year old vampire. He fell back, landed on his behind, shocked. She flicked a wrist and a long, thin stalactite from overhead fell hundreds of feet, its tip neatly embedding the pant material centimeters from his groin, to the rock beneath.
She stood, smiled and brushed her hands on her dress. “You dishonored me. Don’t do it again.”
The rock between his legs disintegrated to dust, and he sat up, knees bent, and arms casually resting over them. His wet hair dried, a strand flopped over his eye, made him look far too human and desirable. His suddenly crooked grin didn’t help. “Of course not.”

Find out what the critics are saying about Sky Purington's books! *Contest*
What's being said about DARKEST MEMORY
(prequel to HEART OF VESUVIUS)
"Sky Purington gives us a jam-packed vampire tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat! This is one vampire love story that will tug on your heartstrings! It also has enough heat to singe your fingertips as you fly through the pages of this blazing book!"
~Night Owl Reviews
"This is a fun story full of mystery. I spent a lot of time during the first few chapters trying to puzzle out what was happening and what secret Gabriel was hiding. And I was not disappointed. The characters were vivid and believable and reacted to the world around them in appropriate ways...The sex is hot, frantic, and wild, saving admissions of feeling for better times."
~You Gotta Read Reviews
"If you want a story with a good bit of mystery, suspense, heat, and characters you won't forget, then you need to read DARKEST MEMORY."
~Long and Short Reviews
What’s being said about THE MAC’LOMAIN TRILOGY
Short story lead-in to trilogy…“This story is suggestive, and haunting. It is carried by the power of desire, the power of passion, and the power of desperation. There is a richness here that is hard to convey… THE KING’S DRUIDESS will delight not only the faerie fans but those who love all the tales of old.”
~Nancy A. Lindley-Gauthier
“A lover of all things Scottish along with an avid love of anything that is fantasy, Fate’s Monolith just hits my buttons. It's a lovely blend of two times and the trouble that would befall anyone that is taken across the fabric of time. Sky Purington has done a wonderful job bringing this story to life. I found it hard to put down and it made me wish for my own Highland Laird to come and sweep me off my feet and into a time where I could be loved for who I am. I hope you take the time to get lost in FATE’S MONOLITH this summer just as I did.”
~Night Owl Reviews
“There is so much packed into DESTINY’S DENIAL the story is gripping. I couldn't put it down until I finished the last page but don't take my word for it, you really need to read these books. If you have the slightest interest in time travel, Scotland or magic you will be pulled into this story hook, line and sinker.”
~Simply Romance Reviews
“SYLVAN MIST… “This final story in Purington's Mac'Lomain trilogy is an enchanting story of time hopping. Closely connected to the previous stories, the action is intense and the finish is a fine conclusion to the series.”

Getting to KNOW Author Sky Purington! *CONTEST*
Happy New Year! It’s great to be back with the Chicks of Characterization again. Every visit to this blog is an absolute blast!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with my work, I write a cross genre of paranormal/fantasy romance heavily influenced by history. From Irish Druids to Scottish Highlanders many of my novels portray my love of all things Celtic. The past year or so I’ve mixed it up by traveling to medieval England and ancient Italy with my dashing vampires. Make no mistake, in each and every tale told, you’ll travel back to another time and revisit the romanticism history holds at its heart.
This week, I’m celebrating my eighth publication, Heart of Vesuvius (Sequel to Darkest Memory). Must say, I really enjoyed writing this tale. While it will definitely appeal to Vampire fans, it has the added bonus of enticing those interested in numerology, time-travel, reincarnation and Italian history (Including Gladiators!) I’d love to answer any questions you may have so join in the fun and comment away!
Best Regards Always,
~Sky

Our SPOTLIGHT is on HEART OF VESUVIUS By Sky Purington ...*CONTEST*
Two vampires, one goal.
Alexandria has no choice. She must flee to the last place she wants to. Straight into the arms of a vampire she was determined to forget.
Salvator, ancient vampire, finds this a clever fix to obtaining the one vampire who he has always desired, Alexandria.
Together, they must find a way to evade her powerful enemy, Salvator's brother Luciano. On the run, they struggle to understand one another. Deep, dark secrets are revealed. Denied passion ignites. Blood is spilled. Within the Heart of Vesuvius, anything is possible. All can be conquered. But will it be? Can wrongs be made right? History is the locked door. Forgiveness is the key. Time will tell if ancient love can once again flourish.
