Hey all! Today as part of the Reclaiming The Edge tour, I’m lucky enough to have Sara Brookes here. Please enjoy the wonderful words of this incredibly talented, sweetheart friend of mine!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you so much for stopping by today Sara. For those who aren’t familiar with you, tell us a bit about yourself and your work.

Thanks so much for having me here, Liia! I’m Sara Brookes and I’ve been writing professionally for around five years. I’m not someone that sticks to one particular genre or heat level in romance, mostly because I love different aspects of different genres. Be it contemporary, paranormal, futuristic/sci-fi or urban fantasy, spicy hot or page scorching erotica—if the story and/or characters interest me, I’m going to write the book.

What persuaded you to write this ‘Quickie’ follow up to Ragged Edge?

While working on the next story in the series with different character, Dalton, Erin & Cade suddenly showed up for a guest appearance. Dalton made a veiled comment about things being difficult for them, and the birth idea was born.

It’s no secret that Erin, Dalton and Cade have intense chemistry and make a fantastically loveable trio. What is your favourite part about their relationship?

None of the characters hold back their passion for one another. It doesn’t matter the situation, they each love each other unconditionally. The storyline of Reclaiming the Edge displays that perfectly, I think. Loving someone no matter how damaged they feel they are.

As well as being incredibly hot, this book is very emotional – I’ll admit I was a bit of a mess during one particular scene – how do you balance the two? Getting just the right amount of each within a short space?

It doesn’t happen often, but this story poured onto the page. So there wasn’t too much to finding a balance with this story because it already existed. The thing I actually worried about balancing was the heat. This story was easily the hottest thing I’ve written to date. I was actually worried my editor would ask me to tone it down!

Favourite scene of the book to write – without giving too much away for those that haven’t read it yet of course.

When Erin crashes emotionally it was incredibly tough—and fantastic—to write. It’s a powerful moment, and one of my favorites.

Were any of these characters inspired by anyone?

Sadly no, they are solely from my twisted, little brain 100%. It’s a rare occurrence for one of my characters to come from someone I personally know in my life.

What do you need to help you write? A particular food, drink, item…?

Other than coffee being a must, I usually need to listen to music. I sunk money into an excellent pair of noise-cancelling headphones for working at home when the family is at home as well. Otherwise, when they’re not home—the speakers on the laptop are blaring!

And finally, out of all the genres you write, which do you find the most fun AND which is the hardest?

I love writing futuristic/sci-fi romance! Luckily, my publishers have allowed me to indulge my love for writing in that genre. I just returned first round edits to my editor for Her Master’s Collar, a futuristic bounty hunter novella set for release in May 2013 from Ellora’s Cave. Believe it or not, BDSM is the hardest, even though I love writing it too. It can be just as emotionally draining for me as it is for the characters.

BLURB:

The sexual journey of Dalton, Cade and Erin begins in Ragged Edge. You won’t want to miss the beginning of their lusty connection!

It isn’t a birthday celebration without a little pain to chase the pleasure—at least according to Dalton and Cade, the two men who stole Erin’s heart. Relationships are complicated and Erin has been retreating—both emotionally and physically—from her lovers. Pushed away for reasons they don’t understand, and determined to erode her resistance, the men devise a wicked plan. They intend to use two very special gifts and one captivating night to reclaim her submission. But Erin’s trip to subspace extracts a heart-wrenching confession that threatens to rip the triad apart forever.

Warning: Contains a well-trained, dirty-talking submissive who succumbs to the commands of her Master, custom nipple clamps, tongue wagging oral sex, a well-deserved punishment with a butt plug, men who share more than a few heart-racing kisses and a custom-made-work-of-art sex chair that shows this M/M/F triad just how powerful their passion for one another is. And that’s just chapter one.
