Alpha Male Diner: Siren-Demon Hybrid by Rosalie Lario Call of the Siren Book Tour + giveaway


Dagan Meyers ( siren-demon hybrid)
recipe by Rosalie Lario
Call of the Siren (Demons of Infernum #4)


Ingredients
· One sexy siren-demon hybrid
· Six-plus feet of a body made for sin and turquoise-glamoured eyes
· The ability to breathe underwater, thanks to his siren heritage
· Superhuman speed, strength, and hearing thanks to his demon half
· A hypnotic voice that can coax a woman right out of her panties

Combine all ingredients to make an irresistible bounty hunter with a weakness for one certain golden-haired angel. Add an overprotective older brother and a dark fae bent on deadly revenge, and turn up the heat for an explosive finale that will make you burn with passion and desire.



Taste Test


Lina took a seat on the lounge chair next to him, close enough to feel the heat emanating from his body. The muted scent of whiskey rolled off his lips, and the combined assault to her senses made her dizzy and half-drunk. Only he could still smell sexy while emitting the scent of hard liquor. Hell, on him, it smelled like a freaking aphrodisiac.

Then he raised his head and looked at her, and time stopped still.

“Lina,” he whispered.

She couldn’t look away. Didn’t want to. “Yes?”

With visible effort, he tore his gaze from her mouth and glanced straight ahead. “I shouldn’t be here.”

“No.” She cleared her throat and straightened her spine, fighting the urge to lay a hand on him in comfort…or maybe just to feel him up. “What’s wrong? And don’t tell me nothing, because that’s obviously not true.”

A soft snort escaped his lips. “The Supremes said it so much better than I ever could.”

“Um…what?”

“Never mind.” He stared down at his clasped hands for several long moments before replying, “I had an epiphany tonight.”

“What was it?” she asked, because he obviously needed to share. He’d come here for a reason.

His beautiful turquoise gaze locked in on hers. “What if you discovered that everything you are, everything you’ve become, is due to someone you hate more than anything in the world?”

His words shocked her into silence. He may as well have pulled them out of the very essence of her being. How much of what she’d become was due to Thorne, to the mistakes she’d made with him? How much had she done out of her hatred for the one man who’d given her the most precious gift of life, then taken it away?

Maybe if she told him, Dagan would understand. Maybe she didn’t have to be so alone.

Before she could second-guess herself, Lina reached out and closed her hand over Dagan’s. The little shock of electricity that raced into her palm nearly made her gasp. She swallowed hard. “I can say that’s probably true for me too, Dagan.”

He glanced down at her hand before turning his over so their palms touched. His gaze travelled up her arm to her face, and his free hand reached up to smooth a strand of hair off her lips. “Did you know that your hair shines as bright as the moon?”

“Dagan…” She averted her eyes and fidgeted, all too aware he probably didn’t even realize what he was doing.

“No, not the moon. The sun,” he whispered. “That’s what you are to me. My own personal ray of sunshine.”

“You’re wasted.” She tried to pull her hand back, but he didn’t budge. “You don’t know what you’re saying.”

“The hell I don’t.” He shook his head, a heavy scowl marking his features. “My whole life, I’ve always been trying to live up to other people’s expectations. Doing what my family thinks I should be doing. When do I get what I really want?”

“What do you want?” she found herself asking in a barely audible voice.

He let out a hoarse chuckle, his eyes surprisingly bright and earnest despite his state of inebriation. “Isn’t it obvious, Lina? Hasn’t it been clear from the moment we first met?”

His words made her chest tighten and an answering dampness spread between her thighs. Had he felt the same things she had? “What?”

“You. I want you.”





Call of the Siren (Demons of Infernum #4)
by Rosalie Lario
Paperback, 400 pages
Published March 25th 2014 by Entangled: Select

When darkness threatens...only love will bring them light
The half-siren half-demon bounty hunter Dagan Meyers swore he'd never settle down. His older brothers might’ve adjusted well to family life but tying himself to one woman is so not Dagan’s bag. Until he meets the gorgeous angel Lina, his brother Ronin’s long-lost adopted sister, and he can’t think of being with anybody but her. Too bad Ronin’s well aware of Dagan’s party-boy lifestyle and won’t let him anywhere near his angelic baby sister.

Lina is still getting over the abandonment issues that began when she was orphaned as a child and has devoted her life to taking down evil Otherworlders. The last thing she wants is to develop feelings for man she knows will eventually leave her, too. But as the battle against a growing darkness continues—a powerful fae who’s harnessed untold power—Dagan and Lina find that love may be their greatest weapon against the very thing that threatens to destroy them all.

Call of the Siren is the fourth and final installment in the Demons of Infernum series and focuses primarily on Dagan and Lina. Dagan is half-siren and half-demon who while working for the counsel as a bounty hunter has led a solitary adult life never believing he is cut out for love and family. 
Lina dealing with her own abandonment issues, heartache, and guilt becomes a hunter as well devoting herself to taking down the bad guys. When their paths cross sparks fly and while unwise the attraction is undeniable. In the meantime the counsel of the Otherworlders seeking a scapegoat and the family is on the run.

This was a fun roller-coaster of a read with kidnappings, battles, zombies, and a crazy fae out to conquer the world. The world building, despite this being book four in the series, was very well done and the characters are fun to get to know and root for. The writing was clean and well executed with an ending that was very satisfying, left me with a smile on my face, and eager to go back and read the series from the beginning. I received this book with a request for my honest review without any compensation whatsoever, other than the joy of reading a new book.

Heart of the Incubus by Rosalie Lario

Not after meeting Genevieve Russell, the sexy scientist who works with him at Elcorp Laboratory. And she wants absolutely nothing to do with him.

After her fiancé broke her heart, Genevieve has had enough of womanizers. She’s determined to steer clear of sexy-as-sin Dr. Taylor, despite the fact that his incubus allure makes her want to rip his clothes off. But when a secret admirer’s affection turns to the macabre with threatening notes and grisly gifts, Cresso appoints himself her protector. As she and Cresso hunt her stalker, she discovers there’s a lot more to the sensual incubus than she ever imagined.

Book Review: Mark of the Sylph - Blog Tour

Half-demon Taeg is desperate to free his pregnant sister-in-law, who is spellbound to an indestructible book that will create an army of the undead. He is convinced that an ancient sword can destroy the book and the spell forever, but this relic has been hidden for a millennia by a powerful glamour. The clock begins to run out on his search when an old rival goes after the book and Taeg’s family in his quest for revenge.

Librarian Maya Flores has a secret: she’s immune to magic and is well aware of the supernatural beings prowling the streets of New York City. Haunted by a brutal demon attack that took her family, she is on a one-woman mission to destroy the evil demons who did it—and any others who get in her way.

Maya is Taeg’s best hope for uncovering the sword.
Find Mark of the Sylph on: 


Maya is a librarian and college student who has a very special gift. Kidnapped, she fights for her life and does her best to kill her captor. She has known about demons for a long time and has the ability to see through the cloak they wear when in the human world.

Taeg needs Maya’s help. She is the only one who can. When she uses her abilities against him, forced to capture her…he refuses to admit that he kidnapped her. He does his best to persuade her to trust and help him.

Growing up knowing demons killed her family, can she help him even though he is a demon who’s drop dead sexy gorgeous? While Maya fights her inner demons, Taeg is also fighting his own…his attraction to Maya and the need to save her or his family member.

Wonderful world building for this story! The author has created some unique characters with funny quirks that had me laughing. Love it when a story can make me smile or laugh. The four half demon brothers have a chemistry that works so well together which makes me want to keep reading more to find out what is going to happen. Sometimes it is good to be bad. I’m looking forward to reading about the other bad boys getting their soul mate in the rest of the series.

Some of the story line was pretty predictable, but I still love the plot. The sex scenes were very well written, although there is one that all I could think was ouch!!! But hey, some like it rough.

Bring on the rest of the series…I’m ready for the next brother!

"Shifting minds one word at a time"

Unfortunately, she wants nothing more than to kill him. As he fights for her trust and to save his family, she is forced to face the truth that not all demons are evil. And the worst part? She might be falling in love with one, too. 

Formally trained as a corporate and real estate lawyer, I practiced law for 5 years before finally admitting to myself that negotiating contracts wasn’t nearly as fun as dreaming up stories. As an avid reader of romances and supernatural stories, I knew I wanted to write urban fantasy and paranormal romance. Tales of vampires, demons, and other supernatural beings ensued.

I’m currently working on the Demons of Infernum series, a series of paranormal romance novels featuring four sexy half-demon brothers and their reluctant heroines.

When not writing, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son in our home state of Florida, as well as searching out things that go bump in the night. I still haven’t found any, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

If I ever do find evidence of the supernatural, it remains to be seen whether I’ll jump around in excitement, or run screaming in terror (but I’m betting on the latter)!
