The Heart of Hannen: Book I in The Atriian Trilogy by Fawn Bonning
* Awarded Runner-Up in romance – 2014 New York Book Festival
An epic tale of dark fantasy, erotic romance, and horror.
Christine is a troubled teen with a dark past. She is miserable in her small town where she feels destined to live her life as an outcast.
She has no idea that her true destiny lies in a different town . . . and in a different world, a most brutal world called Atriia. There she will learn the true meaning of misery, the true meaning of loneliness and shame.
And in the arms of a most unlikely candidate, she will also learn the true meaning of love.
He is Hannen Fallier, the one they call the foul fraigen dropper, revered by men for his fearless feats, yet looked upon by women with open disdain. With a face horribly mauled, he hides behind a mask of shame, deeming himself unworthy of love.
That he would seek acceptance from Christine is irony in its purest form. That he would seek her love . . . the ultimate betrayal.

What inspired you to write your book?
The burning desire to create passionate, yet tasteful, erotic romance novels with elements of fantasy and horror.
Here is a short sample from the book:
The world around her did not come back into focus until her lustful yearning was at last satisfied. Even as she cried out, her knees did raise above Hannen’s hips, her legs locking about him, pulling him down. Only then did the world about her reappear.
They lie beneath one clemitt tree on a bed of leaves and grass. The smell of blossoms was strong and sweet, permeating her senses. Scattered rays of sunshine dazzled her brain, these shimmering golden beams filtering through the branches above to spill about them, dancing as the gentle breeze rustled the leaves. There were birds in the distance. She could hear their chorus of trills grow louder as they passed overhead, before fading once again.
Sliding her hands beneath his shirt, she pulled him down to crush her to the earth, reveling in the feel of him so solid on top, so deep within. Beauty surrounded them. She wanted to believe the act they were engaged in was just as beautiful, one natural and pure.
But someone was calling her—a voice echoing in the recesses of her brain―a strangled rasp wrought with pain. Something was over his shoulder, a bloodied carcass―one woodslink mangled beyond recognition, one she’d been told had been allowed to escape.
She squeezed her eyes shut against it, allowing the fire that raged to consume the coldness so intent upon seeping in.

GABRIELLA by ALAN HARDY @AlanWilliamHard
The novel deals with the theme of a young man’s sexual awakening. The male hero is Jim Collier, sixteen, shy and virginal. The female hero is Gabriella Blenkinsop, eighteen, experienced, beautiful.
The setting is the annual cricket match between St Swithins Boys School and the local grammar school shits. Gabriella is the Head Girl of St Swithins Girls School; her boyfriend is Algy, Head Boy of the Boys’ School. Jim is one of the opening bowlers for the grammar school shits.
Gabriella is an arrogant, upper-class bit of hot totty. She wants to see the lower-class grammar school shits taught their customary annual lesson. St Swithins have merely to knock off eighty-odd runs to win the match. It should be easy.
Gabriella is discomfited by young Jim; usually so cool and self-confident, she feels and becomes clumsy and awkward before him. She is determined to see him, and his whole race and class, humiliated.
Jim has developed two particular types of delivery in his fast bowling; he bowls like a devil and begins working his way through the line-up of upper-class wallies, to the fury of Gabriella.
We also meet Jim’s parents, his dad obsessed with football and his mum forever reading celebrity magazines, and Gabriella’s parents, two upper-class decadents making their ravenous way through the supply of working-class sexual fodder rounded up for them by their man, Chivers.
Gabriella gets her daddy to change the rules so that she can go in to bat and save St Swithins from the vicious succession of balls sent down by the low-born shit. She gets padded up in all her physical glory.
There then follows the contest between Gabriella and Jim, he, with a mixture of different balls and probing deliveries, attempting to break through her defences and she, determined and rock-like, trying to block him out. The game of cricket, the hard red ball, the long-handled bat, and so on, becomes the arena for the sexual tussle between the two principal characters. It becomes an extended metaphor for the game of love, and all its intricacies, and also for the sexual act, from foreplay to actual fulfilment. It is also the arena for the growing realisation on the parts of both Gabriella and Jim that they are madly in love with each other; their hate for each other, whether class-based or personal, is an expression not just of the sexual tension between them, but also, eventually, of their love for each other.
We meet other characters throughout the afternoon and evening, amongst others, the third-former Mary Collier, Jim’s sister, who has a crush on Gabriella, and whom Gabriella later realises is the child of her own father, Lord Blenkinsop, and therefore her own half-sister, and Fanny, a former acquaintance of Jim’s, who becomes a rival for Jim’s affections just when Gabriella thinks she has ensnared him. At the same stage, when Jim has to decide which girl he wants, the truth concerning Gabriella’s parentage is revealed to us (Chivers is her father), and helps Jim in his choice.
Their sexual sparring, on and off the pitch, entails various activities with ball and bat. Jim writes poems about Gabriella in between overs, Gabriella taunts him with her provocative dress and behaviour, and strange things occur with the hard red ball which, at times, smashes into Gabriella’s body or gets rubbed frenetically near Jim’s cock. Jim hits her with such a succession of venomous rearing balls that she is slowly divested of articles of clothing, and their love-hate affair culminates in a final over of frenzied bowling and batting which mirrors the sexual act of penetration and annihilation itself.
This is a sexual comedy, where the game of cricket, and who will be the winner or loser, is used as an image of love-making, romantic attachment and sexual intercourse. It is, ultimately, a love-story between two characters from opposite ends of the social stratum, a young innocent man’s first experience of sex and a young very experienced woman’s first experience of love. The ending is happy (or so, at least, it seems).

Face First by Tug Johnson
Most people love coming home from work.
These days Amber wasn’t so certain.
She’d been married to Jim for fourteen years. They’d always been good together but lately their sex had degenerated down into something that ran more along the excitement level of an average-sized bowl full of whole wheat organic low-fat vanilla ice cream. In other words – boring. Fourteen years of marriage meant Amber and Jimmy had sex boiled down to a grim routine. It was fun, sure it was always fun – but Amber yearned for something a little bit more spontaneous.
Some kind of a surprise.
It turns out that Jimmy has been feeling that same way too.
It turns out that Jimmy has prepared a little bit of something different for his wife Amber this evening.
It starts out with a blindfold.
Jimmy’s got a night planned for Amber that she isn’t EVER going to forget.
He and his buddy Hank…

For years I have followed his life, biding my time. I will infiltrate his life, I will have my revenge… Madeline has followed businessman Daniel Harker from afar, biding her time for the perfect opportunity to infiltrate his life and seek her revenge; but she has not countered for the powerful presence of this enigmatic man. As their lives entwine, a compelling obsession develops between them and Madeline must fight to retain control. A short erotic romance with strong scenes of explicit sex, this is suitable only for those over 18. Prelude ~ ‘The tension in the room reached a new level; the predatory look in his eyes. Her anxiety took on added meaning as nothing could distract from the heightened air of sexual attraction between them; the presence of this man who seemed to wield control over her senses, an arousal that consumed her as she stood within his reach, his raw masculinity barely concealed behind the refined tailored suit he wore.’
