Craved By Them by Lily Harlem

Vampire police serving the streets of London. Really? Hell yeah, you’d better believe it! The Worshipful Company of the Ancient Order was created at the beginning of vampire memory. Its goal to enforce law and order over blood-thirsty paranormal existences. To do this, a secret elite group was created known as The Ancient Ones. Their word on the street goes, they are trusted to preserve human life and fight enemies to the death. What experienced DI Corey Tatum hadn’t been expecting was that The Ancient Ones were to be her new team. Intelligent – tick. Gorgeous – tick. Soon to be in love and lust with her – tick. This is no ordinary case, and these are no ordinary policemen. Will Corey ever be able to return to a normal life? Or will her heart, body, and soul crave those who crave her?

What is your favorite scene/moment in your book?

Ohhh there’s so many it’s hard to choose. Perhaps quite early on in the book when Corey is cross that her vampire cops are being so protective of her, then when she’s walking through a tunnel in London a truck loses control and races toward her. If her blood-sucking bodyguard wasn’t at her side and ready to shield her with his tough body that would have been the end of her story!

How do you use magic in your book?

There’s dark paranormal magic everywhere. Some of it is natural and some has been genetically modified creating weird and wonderful creatures that must be tracked down.

Would your hero enjoy pumpkin spice lattes, candy corn, or apple bobbing?

Multiple heroes going on in CRAVED BY THEM, this is a greedy heroine LOL. And no, they wouldn’t unless blood flavoured, then they’d perhaps take a bite.

What costume would your heroine wear to a halloween party?

Corey would definitely go as a vampire!

What scene did you adore writing in this book?

All the sexy scenes. I’m especially partial to menage and more scenes and throw in some MM and I’m in author heaven.

Is this book a spooky/scary PNR, or a cozy/snuggling with a monster PNR?

This is a action adventure PNR with a few creepy moments and lots of hot loving moments.

What is your favorite monster to write?

Vampires and shifters though I’ve just written a dragon-shifter in the new ALPHA MALE anthology published by EVERNIGHT and that was great fun, I’m thinking of extending that into series.

If you had to pick, would you rather have fangs, claws, or wings?

Fangs!

Halloween’s coming. Do you do anything special to celebrate?

Oh yes, I live in a small Welsh village and there’s quite a few children who love to trick or treat so I’ll decorate the front of the house, put on my witchy costume and hand out sweet treats to everyone who dares walk past the ghosts and ghouls to knock on my door.

“Oh, Detective Inspector,” Master Concorde said.

“Yes?”

“These are four of my best, the cream of the vampire world. Have no fear, you’re quite safe with them.”

She swallowed, looked between Ben, Cooper, Flynn, and Elijah. Their attention was fixed on her. “Thank you, I feel it. Safe, that is.”

“And try and enjoy them a little,” Master Concorde said. “Few humans get such an opportunity.” Again that sparkle in his eye. “You’ll be wholly satisfied with their performances, I can assure you.”

Did he know she was wildly attracted to her four sergeants? That their honed and toned bodies did funny things to her belly and her knees and everywhere in between?
Of course he did. This man, or rather, vampire, had been around for millennia. Spotting a woman physically affected by perfect specimens of the male form was hardly difficult.

Ben urged her to the door. She went happily, hiding the rise of heat on her cheeks.
Within minutes they were in the maze of dimly lit corridors.

“I think we have some time before we need to get back out there,” Cooper said, throwing a glance over his shoulder at Elijah.

“We do?” As far as Corey was concerned, the sooner they got on the case the better.

“I think it’s important you understand a little more of what we do here,” Elijah said.

They headed down the stairs, their footsteps echoing. Corey slid her hand along the polished banister. Ben stayed close.

When they passed the huge stone statue, instead of heading to the foyer, Cooper stopped at the top of a small set of steps leading down farther. At the base, in the shadows, were huge oak doors with ornate brass hinges.

“What’s this? Chambers?” she asked.

“Oh no.” Elijah chuckled. “The things that go on in here would not happen in Chambers.”

“So what is it?”

“Shall we show you?” Ben stroked his hand up her back. “I think you’ll be intrigued.”
His touch sent a shiver of sensation over her skin. Her nipples stiffened against her blouse, and her breaths quickened.

“Aye, you’ll definitely be intrigued,” Flynn said, swiping his tongue over his bottom lip. “And I for one would like to see your curiosity piqued, especially in here.”

“I’m always curious, it’s my nature.” Her heart rate picked up. There was a sudden tension between them all, but it was good tension, excitement, apprehension, and it was decidedly sexy.

“Which suits us perfectly, that you’re curious.” Cooper opened the door. “Come into the dungeon, ma’am. I think you’ll enjoy it.”

Dungeon!

She stepped in, surrounded by her four vampires, and quickly realized that this was no ordinary dungeon. It was a sex dungeon.

Candles dotted thick stone walls, their shadows flickering. The scent of sex and sweat hung in the air. To her right, a large bed contained three naked bodies—two female, one male—writhing, gasping, as they engaged in a combination of oral and penetrative sex.

The door closed, a solid clunk, and she had a sense of having been transported to another world—a world of seduction, debauchery, and hedonism.
