Fatefully Yours isn't just a series… it's a passion!

Sweet hell, I love men. And the more the better, right? There is just something about reaching deep inside and finding that sweet, mushy center of a strong, tough, alpha male.

I honestly have no clue where the idea came from for the Fatefully Yours series. I wasn’t doing anything in particular, probably just sitting around daydreaming, when a voice started talking inside my head about tests, battles, wars, and the fight between good and evil.

From there, the idea completely ran away from me as it usually does. Seven badass demons who’d risked everything to escape Tartarus. One small and broken man who’s just looking for his place and a little slice of happiness.

Introduce the villain. Secondary characters join the ranks to swell the army that will battle against angry, bloodthirsty gods and all types of fantastical and monstrous creatures. And I ran with it from there.

I don’t know many hours I spent pouring over information to find just the right creatures for each book. I researched dozens of different mythological beasts from several different cultures. Roman and Greek mythology, Japanese folklore, and some I simply created from the spark of a thought.

Then I had to build my world, finding just the right location for this tale and keeping as close to the facts as possible. Luckily, my little fantasy world gives me some leeway on certain things. It was a lot of effort, but in the end, I think it all paid off to make the story the most it can be.

Dark Devotion (LoveXtreme) Fatefully Yours 1

http://www.bookstrand.com/dark-devotion

AVAILABLE: Monday, June 13th

[Siren LoveXtreme Forever ManLove: Erotic Alternative Fantasy Ménage Romance, M/M/M/M/M/M/M/M, demons]

Hex and his six demon warriors escaped the depths of Tartarus under Hades's watchful eye to live among the mortals in the Top World. The Oracle has prophesized an epic battle to come—a war between good and evil that will test the warriors as never before.

When Echo arrives on their doorstep, cold, naked, and hungry, they immediately realize he is their mate, and the prophesized “heart” that beats between them. Echo may be the ultimate weapon in the war, but he’s also a spitfire, and he instantly turns their world upside down.

If fighting an angry god weren’t enough, the warriors learn Echo has escaped from a secret lab hidden away in the mountains, and it isn’t long before trouble comes looking for them. Can the demons keep their new mate safe when it seems the entire world—and the Underworld—is against them?




Upon Crimson Waters (LoveXtreme) Fatefully Yours 2

http://www.bookstrand.com/upon-crimson-waters

AVAILABLE: Monday, June 20th

[Siren LoveXtreme Forever ManLove: Erotic Alternative Fantasy Ménage Romance, M/M/M/M/M/M/M/M, gods, demons, sex toys]

The test has come, and Eyce finds himself unprepared to deal with the churning crimson waters of the lakes and ponds. The Oracle warns that he must surrender in order to be victorious—a concept foreign to the big warrior. Surrender is not an option.

Echo still doesn’t understand his role in this war, but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to help Eyce complete his task. First, he must find a way inside the demon’s heart and force him to accept the love he offers so freely.

While Echo and Eyce work to clear the lakes, the threat from the lab still hangs heavy in the air. More are coming. They will never stop coming. Though their troubles seem never ending, Echo knows they can face down their enemies if they stand together. Now, if he can only make Eyce see this before it’s too late.

Marie said...

This looks like an interesting series. I'm not quite sure how it will work for Echo with so many partners, but I'm sure Gabrielle Evans will make it wonderful:)

Gabrielle Evans said...

Thank you, Marie. That is actually something a little unique about my version of LoveXtreme. Apart from the fact that there is not a woman in this series, the demons are not related (brothers, cousins, etc.) So the relationship is not just between Echo and 7 men, but between all of 8 them. :)

I recently came across the Moonlight Breed series and was immediately hooked on Gabrielle's books. I would love to win a copy of the first book in her newest series!

Pat said...

WOW - I started on Stormy's book to make sure I understood my son - now I'm addict to the stories - now we have mom/son time talking about the different books we have read. I've always been open to his being gay - now I find myself drooling over some of the hot men in these books! I hope everyone keeps writing and I look forward to many more chats with my son as to what he thinks! We are both addicted to the Midnight Matings series - so I'm really looking forward to more from the first 3 authors - those stories were AWESOME! We have started getting everything we can from Stormy's, Gabrielle's and Joyee's from Kobo and such so - thank you for your amazing imaginations!!

Tonya said...

This new series of yours cannot not come soon enough for me. I have been following the Moonlight Breed since the beginning and I must say it is Awesome :)

What has me waiting on pins and needles is Echo with seven mates. It is a series that will constantly build upon each book, but still centered around the main characters. I have seen m/f books this way with multiple mates, but never m/m. I has my interest (and then some) and I cannot wait for the first book.

midia said...

I fell in love with Gabrielle through the Moonlight Breed series and her book in the Midnight Matings series was amazing. Even though I've just discovered her, I can't wait to read her new series as it comes out!
