WHAT'S NEW

Happy summer! Warm
weather is finally here in my neck of the world, but it's been such a busy few
weeks, I haven't had much time to get out and enjoy the sun. June and July
newsletter
issues went to the wayside as a result, so fret not, you didn't miss out on
receiving them. Anywho, while on the
road, I've been hard at work on several WIPs, one being the sequel to
KABANA
HEAT, my new Samhain August release.
While KH is set in Hawaii, the sequel will be set in Jamaica. *grin*
(I do so love tropical settings.) Other works in progress include the second in my Ellora's Cave Exotika Nighthawk
series, a sensual historical, and a vampire novella. More details in upcoming issues of the newsletter.
In the meantime, I hope you'll browse the
Book News
section here in the August issue including
the sexy and beea-U-tee-ful new cover and release information for
KABANA HEAT.
Enjoy the newsletter! :o)
And as always...
Stay
HOT
between the sheets!
Smoochies,
Titania

TI'S MOVIE RECS

Here are my latest
MOVIE RECS
complete with my personal ratings out
of 5 stars...
P.S. I Love You
~
5 stars... SUPERB tear-jerking love story where a dying man plots for his
wife to receive correspondence from him after his death. Movie features a couple
of hunks with yummy Irish accents including Gerard Butler. Hilary Swank stars as
the grieving widow, and I must say she does a flawless job. She is now one of my
fave actresses. (Available on DVD/VHS.)
Freedom Writers
~ 5 stars... A wonderful story
of inspiration and a teacher's dedication to get her at-risk students on the
track to success. There's not really any romance in this movie, but it was
excellent! Expect to tear up a bit. (Available on DVD/VHS.)
The Other Boleyn Girl
~ 4.5 stars... A historical
drama in which two sisters compete for a permanent place at the throne and in
the king's bed. Stars Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, and Eric Bana as the
king. (Available on DVD/VHS.)
10,000 B.C.
~ 4 stars... If you don't mind
your romances set eons ago, this one's for you. Not a bad movie.
(Available on DVD/VHS.)
Meet the Spartans
~ 4 stars... OMG, this is
such a hilarious satire on the movie
300.
I think you do need to see 300
before you get a lot of the humor in this one, though. (Available on DVD/VHS.)
Untraceable
~ 4 stars... A thriller
starring Diane Lane who plays a cybercop searching for a serial killer using
the Internet to televise his gruesome murders. There was the hint of a possible
romance with a secondary character, but not enough for my taste. Had the movie
expounded on the romance more, it would have gotten 5 stars from me. (Available on DVD/VHS.)
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
~ 3.5 stars... Cate
Blanchett again plays the role of Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen. This "episode"
explores her relationship with the explorer Sir Walter Raleigh. A well-made
movie. I always love the historical ones. (Available on DVD/VHS.)
 
REVIEWS
As always, a big special
thanks goes out to all reviewers for taking the time to read and review my
books!


5 Angels!
"The Fires Within burns hot and heavy in this story. A wonderful mixture
of lust and love with a large dose of
added spice.
Katja’s desperation in her quest for the passion of Rafe is deeply moving. The
interaction of the characters
was intensely
delicious. The addition of another man into the mix takes the heat factor to new
heights. The sexual
encounters are
blazingly hot and sensual. Ms. Blaze has told a great story and I cannot
wait to read more by
this talented
author." ~ Dawnie for Fallen Angel Reviews
"...interesting and fun to read. The
sex scenes are numerous... the book is an excellent little read for
someone looking for a book that centers on a relationship." ~ Heather Nestorick
for Just Erotic Romance Reviews


4 Angels!
"Some believe in karma, some don’t. I personally believe that you get what you
give as Roxana Blaze
demonstrates in Breathless...
Ms. Blaze has written a wonderful story with a sound plot, strong and
engaging characters,
and poignant messages
throughout. I enjoyed reading Breathless and would recommend it to those
who enjoy the genre."
~ NeNe for
Fallen Angel Reviews
"Breathless
will leave you as such. Ms. Blaze's first book in a planned series of four
leaves a few questions and teasers that I am hoping will be answered in the
future novels. The heat between the four characters Kassidy, Wyatt, and
Nighthawk/Elijah was nothing short of an inferno. The needs and desires that
were laid out without shame was thoughtfully planned and came across to make
this book a very fast paced read... I enjoyed this book and I look forward to
reading the next book in the series." ~ Shira for Simply Romance Reviews


"Curse
of the Black Widow kept me hanging on the edge of my seat with great
anticipation from start to finish. There were so many twists and turns that
piqued my interest so much, I just had to keep reading until all the secrets
unfolded. Seth and Olivia were a dynamic couple full of passion and
compassion. Their non-stop sexual encounters made me blush and left me
breathless with great desire... I found Curse of the Black Widow
to be a thrilling, erotic read that I am sure paranormal fans will enjoy diving
into." ~ Nikita Steele for Joyfully Reviewed
"The way Titania Ladley created this
wonderful storyline just blew me away. I loved the way she developed Olivia in
this story, making her "The Black Window" was just great. And then you have
Seth, a paranormal investigator who is pulled into this from the moment he lays
eyes on Olivia. All he knows is he must help this woman out because someone
wants what and who she is hidden and hidden deep. This is a strong and
intriguing story, and had me enthralled until the last page." Nicole Harvey for
ParanormalRomance.org


5
Angels! “I have to admit this is
one of the most romantic stories I’ve read in a few months... There is one scene
that I’m
sure women across America
would appreciate, as well as hope that the person in their life will do at least
once... The story isn’t just erotic, it’s laced with a bit of suspense and an
ending that you don’t see coming until it is upon you. Ms. Blaze
demonstrates she knows how to bring a book to the table that will leave you
wanting for more.” ~ NeNe for Fallen
Angel Reviews

EXCERPT

Excerpt:
Her smile faded. For a full thirty seconds, she stared
deep into his eyes, her own tearing up. He knew at that moment she finally
understood his desperation and intense desire to have her, to reclaim what was
his after seeing her with another man.
Kiona twisted, assuring the car remained in park, and
removed her shoes. She reached for the sunroof’s edge, pulling herself to a
standing position. She was a tall woman and it was a small car, so with her feet
placed as wide as she could get them on each front seat, the roof came to waist
level.
She set her elbows and forearms on the roof and leaned
on them. “I’m ready,” she whispered down to him.
He scooted forward and drew up her dress, stuffing the
front hem beneath the garment’s waistband. And there it was, her jewel—his
jewel. Nakolo’s mouth watered and his balls throbbed, engorging like a balloon
ready to pop.
“Hemolele! Mmm, my love, you are so gorgeous,
so—” he swiped his tongue up her slit, eliciting a scream from her,
“—delicious.”
The flavor of cream and faint salt burst in his mouth.
Holy islands, she was wetter than the sea. He drew back and studied her toned
thighs and the top of the “V” they held dear. Except for a small patch of dark
curls above her clit, she always kept her pussy shaved for him so he could feel
her silky lips upon his tongue or encircling his shaft. The labia were smooth
and naturally tanned, her nub pink and swollen, emerging at the top of her cleft
like the early bloom of a hibiscus.
God, what perfection!
Nakolo couldn’t delay any longer. He wrapped his arms
around her hips and reached behind her. Sinking one finger into her dripping-wet
puka, he closed his mouth over her swollen bud.
She screamed again, this time far louder. He heard her
hands slap the roof, and rejoiced when her voluptuous body spasmed in his arms,
against his face. He flicked his tongue over her clitoris while gazing upward
through the sunroof. She was like a siren of the sea. He watched as the Pacific
winds blew inland tossing her hair in a wild mass, her breasts perky mounds, her
face contorted in ecstasy.
Her pelvis did a swiveling dance, abrading over his
face. She growled, reaching for that pinnacle that always came so easily for
her. Nakolo pumped his finger faster, adding another, then a third. She spread
wider, accommodating him, coating his fingers with her stickiness. With his
tongue, he thoroughly explored every fold, crease, and little bulge, knowing the
time would come very soon when he would have to yank her down into the car and
plunge himself into her.
She was almost there, he could tell by the stiffening
of her dance and the animal mewls escaping from deep in her throat. But
somewhere in the sexual blur of his mind, Nakolo heard the hum of a car engine.
He whipped his head around to see a sleek Mercedes pull up behind Kiona’s car.
“Goddamn it,” he swore when he saw none other than
Mitch Wulfrum unfold himself from the driver’s seat and stride toward Kiona’s
car.
Kiona’s windows were darkly tinted, so most likely
Mitch couldn’t see Nakolo. If Mitch had spied Nakolo’s truck back at Jager’s
house, he’d probably know Nakolo sat in her car. But if he hadn’t peered out the
window at Nakolo’s boyish antics, Mitch wouldn’t know whose truck it was and
might assume Kiona was alone and the truck abandoned.
Not knowing one way or the other added an edge of
excitement to the unexpected situation. Nakolo’s loins simmered with reluctant
fire. Did he want to be discovered or not?
As Mitch approached the driver’s side, Nakolo studied
the strikingly handsome face, the tall, lean body…and the bulge in the jeans he
now wore. Nakolo swore under his breath. Why was it he found the sight of this
man sauntering nearer so very arousing while he orally pleasured Kiona? Where
had his anger gone? And why hadn’t he demanded an explanation from Kiona before
he had dived right into satisfying his sexual urges?
“Mitch, what are you—what are you doing here?” he heard
her choke out.
The whole bizarre situation Nakolo suddenly found
himself in did strange things to his libido. Hot liquid fire whooshed into his
bloodstream, the flames of it licking at his cock like an incredible blowjob. He
felt Kiona start to lower herself down, but something reckless drove him to hold
her in place and force her to remain standing while he went back to work on her
dripping cavern.
With his cock now as hard as stone, he slid his fingers
back inside her and went wild on her clit. As if a demon rode him, he let his
sidelong gaze fall upon the mass in Mitch’s pants. Kol licked and sucked, his
eyes locked on Mitch through the darkened glass.
Son of a bitch, what had gotten into him? Was he
actually turned on by this man’s interest in his woman…and by the man himself?
“You forgot these.”
Nakolo heard the jingle of what sounded like keys, and
the plunk of it on the roof. But he was so aroused he didn’t care to explore why
Mitch Wulfrum gave his Kiona a set of keys.
Kiona let out a strangled reply when Kol rammed his
fingers in deeper and swirled his tongue faster. “T-thanks. I-I’ll talk to
you—oh, God! ’Û!” She reached down and cupped one hand on the back of
Nakolo’s head, pressing him closer, grinding her stickiness all over his face.
