Author discovery: All Shades of Blue Paradise by Savanna Kougar

Destiny and love can be denied for only so long...

Except for her daring equestrienne competitions, Lady Sheridan lives a quiet life caring for her family's estate, staving off financial ruin and keeping her brother's misdeeds from ruining his marriage and the life of her beloved nieces. Despite all his desperate efforts, Baron Zaggry has never discovered why his Sherfantasy broke their engagement. Now, his ruse successful, Sheridan is finally his, his slave lover. He has ten years worth of denied pleasures to make up for, to savor however he erotic chooses.

I savoured every delicious word of Savanna Kougar's ALL SHADES OF BLUE PARADISE. Kougar is a powerful, sensual writer, a poet of language, and the world she creates is richly textured, sensual and voluptuous, with its own language, beliefs and symbols. Blue is the colour of life, of love and of so much more in this alternate world of warring, sensual aristocrats. The pleasures and pains of slavery and of mastery are fearlessly and seductively explored and I was enchanted throughout. Sheridan is a beautiful, complex, caring woman of great dignity, compassion and courage. She is always graceful under pressure - and what seductive pressure Baron Zaggry tempts and teases her with! This is a kind of war between the sexes where all desires are admitted to and expressed but where the 'victor' of each encounter is always magnanimous. Their powerful relationship kept me guessing throughout and utterly enthralled. To be slave-dressed by a man like Zaggry ...what a wicked, delicious fantasy!

This is the revelation of a decadent, disturbing world, a world of high politics and high stakes, where the fates of many are discussed at elegant yet deeply erotic soirees. In the midst of this sensual, abandoned world, the love between Zaggry and Sheridan remains absolute, although the cruel misunderstanding that has been deliberately engineered between them by their enemies remains until almost the very end of the novel, offering a satisfying conclusion of one of many threads. The end of All Shades of Blue Paradise is also a beginning as another contest has been arranged, with Sheridan about to compete with an enemy and Zaggry determined to protect her.

I await the next book in this intoxicating series with keen anticipation.

Part 436 ~

Sylva suddenly felt her vulnerable side. Here she was being with Zeke in a way that, yes, felt wonderful and natural, but, really, how far could she trust him with her emotional self, that deepest core of her? She heaved a sigh inwardly. There was nothing else to do but go forward, keep climbing the mountain of life. “Somethin’ wrong, darlin’?” he asked in that sweet cowboy drawl of his. “Vulnerable,” she muttered, damn surprised she’d said anything. He gave a small nod as if he understood. But, did he? “Well, ole Bill was worried about his bride’s feelings, too.”

Zeke grinned, figuring his Sylva needed some good feelings more than anything. Her eyes a bit brighter, she regarded him and tilted one corner of her mouth in half a smile. “Was he now?” she asked. “Yep, surely was. Imagine Bill’s shock when his Lulabelle, huffing like a little steam engine, said, ‘oh heavens no, Bill, just untie those knots of yours. Hurry, I need more rope.” The slow wide smile that formed on his woman’s face had Zeke bubbling inside like a spring-fed pond. Her little giggles erupted and then they were both laughing. “Did Bill untie his knots?”

Penning smooches from the Kougar...

Love Romances Cafe' ~ Open the Door to Blue Paradise

Kitty Kat Kougar is deep in edits and for a break, National Treasure. Thus, here is moi's first excerpt on the Yahoo Loop ~ Love Romances Cafe' ~

Open the door to Blue Paradise ~ where every erotic dream comes true ~

Excerpt:
"Lady Sheridan Kayla Woadeir," Clarence intoned in his best aristocratic voice. A broad smile broke over his face, brightening his countenance to near jolly. He widened the door, inviting her entrance.
She stepped into the cobalt and pearl foyer, smiling in return. "How are you, Clarence?"
"Sunny azure days ahead now, Lady Sheridan. He’s up in the grand office. Go on. I’ll ring up your arrival."
Her high heels clicking on the alabaster brilliant floor, Sheridan watched her image in the nouveau shimmer panels. The panels reflected the immense entry room’s light creating a crystalline ambiance.
Sheridan had resorted to dressing in the way he used to passion smolder over. She had no idea if that was still true.
Sapphire blue, gleaming sapphire. The luxury satin dress fit her curves, bared her arms, bared her legs from the knee down to her matching high heels. The pearls around her throat matched the moon’s color of last evening and provided a tiny touch of comfort.
Sliding her fingers along her pearls, Sheridan moved up the long curving sweep of stairs, low steps designed for a woman. Butterflies battled to escape her stomach once she stood at the top on the wine red carpet.
Keeping her feet moving, she glided toward the open office door, as if she moved inside a pocket of air. Reality seemed a horizon away.
He didn’t speak when she entered. He casually leaned back on his chair, one foot propped up on the dark shining wood of his enormous desk. Potent power and grace, he stood, silently moving to one side.
He motioned to a swivel cushioned chair before his desk. His presence had always made her feel sultry. Once his sultry woman. It was no different now. Her whole body was a sultry sizzle rhythm. She felt it to her core as she approached the chair and sat.
Her legs crossed, she steepled her fingers, watching him pivot. Lithe, powerful as a cougar, he returned to his chair. She’d seen the media’s view of him, unavoidable in her ‘horse show’ circle. Confronted with him, her breath demanded freedom from her body.
Like a cougar, the way he moved, his fierce intense nature, that was how she’d always seen him. Cougar in male beautiful form. Cougar spirit incarnated to man.
Goddess behold! She had loved him.
Sheridan didn’t blame the women who wanted him, not just for his status or his wealth but for the primal and the aristocratic blend he was as a man, as a lover, the way he made a woman feel.
Pure sensual desire. Pure sensual need. Pure ferocious passion for him.
She waited, knowing that was his cougar-and-prey game with her. She waited, her gaze fondling the burnished waves of his dark mahogany hair, streaked with wild sunlight.
"Sheridan."
The rough grazing purr of his voice made her shiver inside. She met his gaze boldly. Never flee before a cougar. Always stand your ground, even if faced with the most gorgeous eyes she’d ever seen.
Pale emerald, so ice crystalline, his eyes were always startling, always stunning.
"Baron Vettura," she returned, her tone icy cordiality. Sheridan knew her eyes glowed hot. She felt it. She shook back her hair. "It has been a while." ~

"5 Stars: Gryphiz is a world two dimensions from Earth. The people evolved differently from those on Earth. Their stamina and sexual ability increased. When Lady Sheridan saw her betrothed, Baron Zaggy, betray her, she ended the relationship without ever telling anyone why. Ten years later her brother, Brad, begged her help. He owed money to the Baron and needed more time. Regardless of her feelings she agreed to approach him on the subject of the loan. Zag agreed to forgive the debt if she would be his slave lover for one year. He would also help her with her project of a riding stable for children. She agreed. He needed her help to stop a corporation from possessing the Vettura lands and destroying the world as they knew it. Zag hoped to win back her love during that year. All Shades of Blue Paradise is part one of this series. Savanna Kougar is a talented author. The plot is extremely steamy. I would not mind being a slave lover for a year or maybe 20. Kougar has created a completely new world and culture. The characters are well-matched. Sheridan is strong and very sensual. Zag is incredibly sexy, dominating, and loving. Fans of erotic romance will enjoy All Shades of Blue Paradise: World of the Blue Pearl Moon." --Debra, Review Your Book

The Chimera effect ~ introducing Blu Cougar Cub. This cute little alien kitty kat was featured on Coast-to-Coastam with George Noory. How perfect is this little out-of-this world minx? The perfect synchronicity-blending of mois two e-novels, All Shades of Blue Paradise (Siren Publishing) & Red Lioness Tamed (Liquid Silver Books). Does Someone Up There love the Kougar or what?

Thought I would share a picture of my own little alien. Nothing like having her crawl up on you when you are sleeping, and awakening to those large green eyes staring at you. I think she is trying to telepathically communicate with me, but I guess I am not advanced enough yet. In all seriousness, this is my adorable hairless Sphynx cat called Blu Cougar Cub. She's a little menace, and the most talkative little thing. --Morassa Mohseni Morassa@jhmi.edu ~ http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page2540.html?theme=light

Smooch for Coffee Time Romance

Yep, Big Kitties, it's here. Here!...here!....here! Another review for moi's All Shades of Blue Paradise, Siren Publishing. And meow-no, the Kougar is not telling how many steaming coffee cups she received. However, the review snippet is purr-featured below.

ALL SHADES OF BLUE PARADISE: WORLD OF THE BLUE PEARL MOON
SAVANNA KOUGAR
ISBN#: 1606010131
March 2008
Siren Publishing ~ www.SirenPublishing.com
E-Book ~ $3.99 ~ 148 Pages ~ Fantasy Romance
"This story is very erotic and sensual, with a ferocious carnal appetite that can never be appeased. The syntax is extraordinary, and flows with an almost poetic feel. I do feel, however, that the constant sexual pleasures are somewhat overpowering to the plot line of the story. This being said, I very much want to read Part II, the continuation of Sheridan and Zag’s story. Ms. Kougar has an amazing way with words that very few authors could pull off, and she does so brilliantly."
Lototy ~ Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance

Rumble-psssst...Big Beautiful Cats, the Kougaress is feverishly improving her contemporary wolfie shifter novella with the wish...wish, hope...hope it will find a contracted home soon. Paw-toesies crossed.

Coffee hot smooch from the Kougar...

Purr ~ Unruffled Fur

Ah, Big Kitties, the great and mouse-hiding mysteries of the internet world. Or the mysterious functions of the Kougar's e-mailbox, which has now been adjusted to her 'unblocked' preferences. Mew-Whew, a swipe of moi's furry forehead. It's an unknown dangerous jungle out there for us tech disadvantaged types.

Purr, unruffled fur for now, Big Cats.

Given the droopy state of the Kougaress's eyelids ~ at least, heaven forbid or is that yowling heavens to mergatroid ~ she was not slaughtered on the mean terrifying streets of Chicago, as that other poor-soul cougar, who is now residing happily on the Other Side, idly lounging on a huge comfortable tree limb with the vast open prairie before him, filled with every delightful creature.

However, given moi's state of sleepiness, an unedited paragraph snippet from her WIP Pleasures of Blue Lotus Oil (for Siren Publishing).

"O do open your evening jacket to me, master," she crooned, a wicked slice to her tone. "That I may so ease your little pains with the fervent licking of my lusting tongue. Or, would you prefer my tongue as I applied it to your raised and mighty ‘sword’ during Tarimudhi?"

Purr, unruffled fur kisses from the Kougar...

Kiss to the Winged Messenger

Kiss to the winged messenger, Big Kitties. Upon awakening the Kougar stuck her head out the window, admiring the emerald green grass growing like weeds on her prairie, and enjoying the air, warm with Spring's arrival, and bright with the overhead sun. From the corner of her eye, the Kougaress spied a brown bird arrowing toward a tree branch. Even perched for a bit, moi could not tell what kind of birdie it was, so she sent a little message asking the bird to come closer, yet not expecting that outcome.

Yep, the deep brown birdie, medium-sized, with a pale orangey breast coloring, flew right before the Kougar, landing on top of the dried up stalk, one from last year's milkweed forest. Ready to be praised and admired, brown birdie preened handsomely, yet kept a careful watch for predators. The Kougaress cooed, speaking lovingly, using both thought and her voice. Amazingly, brown birdie boy, remained a long while, then hopping-flew from stalk to stalk, staying close.

It was a wondrous experience, Big Beautiful Cats, and the Kougar does not know if it was simply a lovely inter-species contact or a shamanic message...or both. However, the birdies are trilling and feeding, winging and swooping...probably building their nests.

Just outside moi's writing area, two itsy bitsy birdies quickly peck, concentrating on nourishing themselves.

O Winged Messenger, a message for moi?

Perhaps, the winging of her novels into the hands of those readers who would enjoy them...hope, hope.

For now, back to writing...Lady Sheridan and Baron Zaggry are winging inside his flight limo toward a carnal appointment neither one of them desires...yet one which will offer them a sacred prize toward victory in the Braverth ~ All Shades of Blue Paradise ~ Book II, Pleasures of Blue Lotus Oil ~ Siren Publishing.

Winged kiss from the Kougar...

Smooch for Debra Gaynor ~ 5-Stars

From out of the blue ~ It's Big Kitty smile-on-my-squinchy face day for the Kougar. Yep, moi is thrilled over the moon, and body-shaky...and reclining on a lovely floating cloud.

And, she does have a huge ole' paw on the ground...finish current WIP...finish...finish...

However, with further meowing-adieu:

Psssst...any of your Coast Cats out there...it was the night of Project Blue Light.

Lazy bed kitties, check out Mel's fab post on Title Magic about e-book or print book. Long purrs below:

Illuminating, even backlit post, Mel. Adobe PDF works fine for me. Although, you can't beat the feel and smell of a paper book! Especially curled up in bed, if you don't have a light sensitive spouse.

I think both 'e' and print will be around for a long, long time to come.We humans like texture, the feel and look of print. We like the design, the moods evoked.

Whereas, e-publishing is a different experience, yet wonderful in convenience and it's own digital artistic expression, IMH.

Personally, I believe there's a lot of room for both. Look at the growth of graphic novels on the side of print. At the same time it could go digital, almost a video version of the story.There's a lot of exciting possibilities, which I hope will serve the preferences of all readers and authors.

I have to say, it is exciting to see my novels go digital. I think as exciting as it would be see them in print. Who knows, though? Until I actually hold one, the paper book in my hot little ole' hand.

Smile-cat smooches from the Kougar...

Beautifully Blue

Sunset on the winter-crushed prairie, staggeringly gorgeous these past two days, Big Beautiful Cats. Yesterday the Kougaress watched the rose pink neon sun sink beneath the horizon, gossamer rays of blazing color seizing the sky, flames of pink and orange vanishing into deep shimmer blue and behind the streams of sculpted clouds. Later, as moi released her canines for a romp, twilight darkened the sky to a splendid blue teal color the Kougar has never witnessed before.

Beautifully Blue, my Lovely Big Cats, the Kougar's page at Siren Publishing for All Shades of Blue Paradise. Purr...le sigh...just beautiful.

Blue Excitement Kisses, Big Beautiful Kitties. Moi's e-novel, All Shades of Blue Paradise, will be released from Siren Publishing tomorrow, Monday, March 10. Yay! Roar-shout! Shiver-happy tinglies. And a sense of pride. Tail-swishing joy and a huge soft smile on her mug.

Synchronicity...hope, hope good fortune is to be rolled in, and enjoyed. For, just as the Kougaress began this blog she heard William Henry speaking about his latest DVD on the spiritual promise and awakening of 2012. To quote from his promotion, he said, 'open the door to paradise'.

Meow-wow! How could the Kougaress refuse such an opportune gift dropping from the blue heavens above?
