When I first conceived the idea of a truck driving vampire, a sexy undead two hundred odd year Irishman named Will Brennan and the gal he'd lose his heart to, Texas gal singer Cara Riley, I never thought it might become a series. I just thought it'd make a good read. But when Cara started talking, something special began to emerge and people liked it, from my Evernight Publishing editor Caitlin Ray to readers and reviewers.
As we wrapped up edits on Love Tattoo, she suggested there might be a sequel out there and I decided I'd think about even though I didn't really believe it. But Cara started talking to me again, telling me what came next in her new undead life and I began writing Love Scars. After all, happily ever afters don't always come easy even for a new vampire and her husband, right? On the heels of that, I realized Will really wanted to find his long lost brother, the one he thought long dead and buried, who just happened to be a vampire too so Love Scars came next.
And I had a series, not just a couple of related novels.
And Love Shadows isn't the end. The Love Covenant Series - unless Cara tells me differently - will be six books total. Love Echoes, book five when Seamus Brennan decides he may just want to be like his brother Will and take a bride and Love Legacy when the time comes to leave Memphis behind. Danger follows the Brennans like a blood hound and in the final book, Will and Cara face the greatest danger to their existence yet.
Here's a snippet from the book that kicked off the series, which is known among readers for its sexy scenes and romping sex.
had been wine, we would have been reeling drunk.
The books earned some great reviews and here's one from Amazon.com that I swear I'm going to print and frame someday.
Dear Leeann,
I do not wish to sound too familar or pally with you. However after reading your book Love Tattoo, which you sent me the PDF file, I was awestruck. I don't wish you to think this review is a fan letter, it isnt..just an amazing piece of work from a man who likes steamy erotics combine with romance. You done that and more in your book
Your Characters of Will and Cara seem so real I can almost touch them. They truly jump off the page
Did you write Cara from your own life? She seems personal the way she was crafted.
The plot seems ripped from a country singer's life. I don't know where you got your inspiration, but it strong and powerful in the right places.
The plot in a nutshell --The singer trying to get a real break in Nashville . Then she befriends a truck driver with a heart and a brain. The sparks fly from that.
Let me say this, Love Tattoo isnt Romeo and Juliet. You arent the erotic Shakespeare. Hiwever you did good.
I do hope I am not gushing too much. You crafted a well done, romantic erotic novel that drew me in and won me over
I cannot wait until you use these characters again. I hope I see these characters again in print
Sincerely
Bennet Pomerantz

Of course, Cara being a Texas girl with a lot to say, the series didn't end with just three books. The fourth book in the series Love Shadows will be out sometime in December from Evernight Publishing. Love Shadows introduces a little bit of would-be competition for Cara from a much older, more powerful vamp named Henri. He's got a long, rather nasty history and the action moves from Branson, MO where brother Seamus runs a theater where Cara sometimes sings to Memphis to Cara's native corner of East Texas and the mysterious backwaters of Caddo Lake. Here's the beautiful cover, one a lot of the readers who've seen it consider the best yet for the series:
Here's a snippet from the book that kicked off the series, which is known among readers for its sexy scenes and romping sex.
His lips iced my feverish mouth but instead of cooling me, his winter
chill fired me all the more. As we kissed, he managed to strip his
clothing away with such speed that I didn’t notice until he stood there,
all proud flesh, nothing but skin, eyes, and hair. His fingers failed to
fumble as he unzipped my dress and slid it down to the floor. I
stepped out of it and as I did, I pulled both panties and hose away.
Will undid the bra and discarded it so that we could touch, naked as
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
What he did next felt too sinful for any version of paradise but
far too pleasant to stop. His hands touched me everywhere, followed
by his mouth. He explored me with greed and I did the same. As I
fingered his flesh, I noticed how very beautiful he seemed. Even the
hairs covering his arms were so fragile and fine that I marveled at
such exquisite detail. His skin radiated with a translucence that
reminded me of fine pearls, alabaster pale. That red mark I noticed
on his left arm earlier no longer remained and I wondered if I had
imagined it.
He nuzzled my throat, put his head with those black curls
flying everywhere on my breasts. He kissed them, each one in turn
and then suckled at my nipples. They hardened with his touch and
ached, begging for more. He used his teeth on my bare shoulders to
evoke such sensual delight that I thought I could stand it but I did not
want him to stop. Will kissed my throat, from the hollow at the base
of it to each side. I could feel him making love tattoos there. His
mouth suckled against that tender skin and then, as before, I could
feel the sharp prick of his teeth as he used them to break the skin, to
bruise me and leave his mark. Until now, I didn’t much like hickeys.
But, when Will delivered them, his subtle, delicate bites sent delicious
chills through my entire body. After he marked me, he kissed me
with such total passion that I could not see for a few moments.
“That makes twice,” he whispered in my ear but I didn’t
understand and I didn’t even try as he kissed me again.
I could not think about that or anything else but sweet
seduction. As the kiss turned potent, he pulled me to the bed and
without bothering to remove the comforter, he took me there. He
entered my willing flesh with power and might that poured into me
with such strength that I thought for a moment that he just might fuck
me to death, the same thing I thought before.
When a warm front slams into a cold front, violent, severe
thunderstorms erupt and so we came together like a storm. My heat
prickled every nerve ending in my body like lighting, we came
together with the rumble and roar of thunder, and although his skin
remained dry against mine, I expelled enough moisture to fill a rain
gauge.
His cock fit into me like a sword to a sheath, like fist to a
glove, like Cinderella’s foot to the glass slipper. Our connection
raised the physical tension to an almost unbearable level as we
strained for that moment of completion. He weaved in and out of me
like a needle sewing cloth, each stroke of his powerful manhood
sending shudders through me that rippled with pleasure that edged
pain. I needed release and I struggled for it, pushing back against his
thrusts with all my might. As he whispered what must be love words
in Irish, I clawed him with my fingernails, fighting for a hold and
forcing him to that glorious moment of complete debauchery.
If sex could have been food, we would have overeaten. If it
had been wine, we would have been reeling drunk.
The books earned some great reviews and here's one from Amazon.com that I swear I'm going to print and frame someday.
