Welcome to the world of the wonderfully inventive and very hot writings of Lara Santiago. Within the pages of any of Lara's works, you find sex, eroticism, and even more than the titillating story, you find heaps and heaps of love. The love flows hot and fast, and slow and smooth, and sometimes it just explodes leaving you gasping for breath. The heat can be likened to a volcano, because it is as relentless as the lavas that flow, spurt, or drift from inside. Here is a glimpse of the books so far in the series.
Mr. Right:
Melisa Berrand wanted only one thing. She wanted someone to love and someone to love her in return. What she wanted wasn’t coming with her usual dates, her friends kept setting her up with loser after loser, and she was tired, lonely, and as much as she hated to admit it, feeling desperate. Her attendance at this particular Halloween Party was only a chance thing, she HAD convinced herself she wouldn’t come, but there was a draw, something about this particular set up and the promise of someone actually “changing her life” could be refreshing. This had to be fate, destiny, and she truly hoped it would play out as real for once. She was well on her way to regretting the decision to come until she fell into the arms of the most alluring “vampire” she had ever seen. His brilliant sapphire gaze mesmerized her, and her heart leaped in her chest. Hope sprang into her poor abused brain like a brilliant light, and Melisa just knew it was too good to be true. Fear crowed and warred with the hope blossoming, and then the night truly took on new meaning…
David Price was definitely done with the “bimbo set” when the luscious serving wench stumbled into his arms. He was dreading the blind date his friends set up for him because every one of them had been so totally brainless he was bored to death within minutes of them opening their mouths. This girl, however, stirred something in him, in fact, she stirred more than one thing and that was saying something of substance was in her character. She was pretty, voluptuous, and although a tad clumsy, he thought she might actually have a brain. It was different, not having a tall, self-assured, boring bimbo on his arm, and when she announced she was his blind date, a secret thrill went down his spine. Could it be that his friends had actually found him someone who would be a real companion? David was not about to look the gift in the mouth, he was going to go for the brass ring with this one if she proved to be interesting, and even a bit intelligent. She was such a change from the other set-ups he had endured, and her own admissions of being “Dracula’s blind date” heartened him. This could be what he had been searching for, and he was not about to let her get away.
Lara Santiago has a way with an erotic story that draws you into the action, and keeps you on your toes. In Blind Date After Dark 1: Mr. Right, she attempts to bring together two lonely people in a mistaken identity of fate. When David and Melisa meet, they are both looking for their respective blind dates, but find each other. There is only one problem with that particular scenario, because Melisa’s true date has a very nasty surprise in store for her, and it could mean big trouble for David because Melisa’s date is a stalker, and he is not pleased. Can these two people searching for love keep what they have found together? Will this attempt at love fail or have the Fates decreed otherwise? This is a fast paced, character driven, and an intensely satisfying read you won’t want to miss. What fate has declared, let no mere human try and thwart, and that is a lesson well learned in this convincing tale of love at Halloween, Blind Date After Dark 1: Mr. Right is available at Siren Publishing for your reading pleasure. And it is a quick and pleasurable read, so go on…go get a copy of Blind Date After Dark 1: Mr. Right by Lara Santiago today.
The Perfect Tool:
Thirtieth birthdays were mile-markers, and Lynda Bloomfield was not going to spend this one alone. This birthday, she was going to have it all, the “it” of course, was sex. Good sex, no, cancel that...GREAT SEX is what she wanted, and plenty of it as well as all her wishes filled. She had a laundry list too, and she had primped and preened all day for this experience. She had no illusions about herself, she knew she was passably pretty, but she knew her flaws. Still, there were not any reasons, and the flaws were not so great that she had to sacrifice everything she wanted for bad relationships. The last breakup was bad, and there hadn't been enough time to even try to cultivate another relationship, not that she wanted to at this point, so she was just gonna go out and get what she wanted. She was tired of catering to the male egos she consistently ran into and decided they were entirely too much work. She figured there were real men out there, ones who actually knew what women needed, and wanted, and were willing to give generously, she just hadn't had the luck to find one yet. The presumption being there were still some out there free. Well, no more mediocrity for her, especially not on this night. For her thirtieth birthday, she was certain she was going to get what she wanted, and when she wished, because she had paid for it...
District Attorney Max Duchene was in a hurry, looking for a friend of his cousin's wife and her leaky sink. He was thinking setup, it was something he wouldn’t put past Angela, and it could only add to the animosity between them. There was not any real love lost between them, they had gotten off on the down side of good relations, but there was always his mother and her desire to see him wed and giving her grandchildren. Whether that was in Angela’s plans, well, he was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, but just barely. What he got in trying to figure out the smudged and almost illegible address was one huge surprise. The brunette meeting him at the door was to die for, dimples, curls and all. Dressed in a slinky blue robe that matched her eyes, Max got the impression she was dressing for a date when the accident, or leak, or whatever occurred. He was not in much shape to remember anymore because what he saw in front of him had him so turned on he couldn't see straight. What he was expecting, he really didn't know, but meeting with someone this sexy, someone this ready for a hot night just had to be a setup, but one he couldn't find it in his heart to walk away from, especially if it was really true, and it was her birthday. Oh well, never let it be said that Max let a lady down, and definitely not on such a special occasion.
In this very sexy and intriguing second story of her Blind Date After Dark Series, Lara tells the tale in a case of not only mistaken identity, but also tongue-in-cheek. You have one sexy DA who has a conniving family that wants him to get married, settle down, and have a life other than work. Then there is the bored and disgusted young woman who is tired of the selfish and self-centered male pigs she has been running into in the dating world, and is looking for someone who might just fulfill her needs. Add to that a touch of spice in the investigation our heroine almost gets caught in, and you have a humorous yet tender read. As most of Lara’s escapades, Blind Date After Dark 2: The Perfect Tool is hot, and you will laugh when the pair discovers the mistake, and also the results of the night of fun. Will they stay together and give love a try, or separate and go their own ways? The truth is in the tale, and in the hearts and minds of max and Lynda. If you want to know the results, then I suggest you head over to Siren Publishing and get your copy of Blind Date After Dark 2: The Perfect Tool. Lara Santiago fun, hot and sexy reads can’t be missed, and the Blind Date After Dark Series is just another example of her talents.
