Do you ever look at a cover and think...yes I'd like to read that book. Well that was my thought when I saw SJ Thomas and her books Haye Deborah Diddle. It is part of Breathless Press Naughty Nursery Rhymes series.
Wonder how SJ Thomas crafted a book from that Nursery Rhyme? Well read on...
Step into a world
where the greatest adventure of all is desire.
When Deborah Diddle
leaves her quiet village to escape a forced marriage, she soon comes across
Haye, the most seductive and mysterious male she has ever seen.
Haye offers to
teach her about the desire she craves, but he is not of the mortal world, and
to know his touch Deborah must face the challenges of his forest; a world of
bizarre and fantastic creatures, seductive temptations, and dangerous enemies.
Will Deborah succeed
and win Haye? Or will she succumb and lose both herself and the male who stirs
her body and soul...

"Mmm, I could teach you
about life, little Deborah Diddle, teach you all about the best bits, as you
put it. Give you a taste of the desire you seek. But you would have to face my
forest first. The apple will allow you to enter, but there will be challenges,
things that will test you."
"And if I fail these challenges?" Deborah
asked in a breathy voice.
Haye's expression tightened with menace. "If
you fail, you would be trapped in there forever."
With a shiver, Deborah closed her eyes. To risk that much? Opening her eyes
again, she looked up at him. "What would be my reward if I win?"
His expression softened, his lips twisting into a
seductive smile. "If you win, if you defeat everything in your path, then I will be waiting for you as your reward."
Now it was Deborah's turn to tilt her head,
appraising him. "And what makes you worth such efforts, sir?"
A surprised look crossed Haye's handsome face and
then he stepped even closer, his expression growing dark and heated. Deborah
held her ground, though she was unsure whether instinct was telling her to run
or stay.
Haye stopped only a hairsbreadth from her, his
height forcing her to crane her neck to look up at him. Deep in his eyes a fire
burned and Deborah could feel it spreading across the space between them,
fanning a flame inside of her.
"I'm the best you could ever have, little girl.
I could show you things that you would never dream about in your darkest
fantasies. Do things to you that would make you scream in pleasure. I could
teach you everything about passion, lust, and desire you could ever hope to
know. If you are worthy of me."
A sharp breath left her at his words. This close, he
overwhelmed her, his silky voice and male presence wreaking havoc with her
senses, and as she looked up into his eyes she felt herself being pulled toward
him like a moth to the deadly flame. This male was living temptation, danger
and damnation, sex and desire, in one mouthwatering form. In truth, he was
everything Deborah had been looking for.
Not even realizing what she was doing, Deborah
leaned closer, raising her hand to touch him, but her fingers passed through
him as if he were made of air. She snatched her hand back, and looked up at him
in confusion.
A mocking smile now played on those masculine lips.
"I have no physical form in your world. If you want to touch me, girl, if
you want my hands on your body, you will have to come to me fully." He
held out the apple. "If you dare."
Oh, how she wanted his touch! With merely a look and
a few seductive words, Haye had evoked more desire in her than any of her
encounters with Rolf. She could barely imagine what being kissed or touched by
him would feel like, but she knew it would be beyond anything her world could
ever give her. In that moment Deborah knew she would risk all to experience it.
Raising her chin in a defiant gesture, she grabbed
the apple from him. "I believe, sir, that you are an arrogant ass. But as
you are also the most desirable man I have ever seen, I will take your
challenge." She raised the apple to her lips, pausing before taking a
bite. "When I see you next you'd better be as good as you say."
