Diana Holquist: Which is what makes this month so fascinating: two very different authors treating the same theme. And we really couldn’t be more different. HUNGRY FOR MORE is a sexy romantic comedy about a Gypsy con-woman who falls for a sexy chef.
Rita Herron: And INSATIABLE DESIRE is a dark paranormal thriller about a medium who falls for a sexy FBI agent. Only he is part demon, part human, and must battle his inner dark side while fighting demonic crimes.
Diana Holquist: Even the titles of the books are similar. HUNGRY FOR MORE. INSATIABLE DESIRE. Er, do your characters’ insatiable desires have to do with sex? Because in HUNGRY FOR MORE, they’re not just talking about food . . .
Rita Herron: Hmm . . . maybe there’s another similarity between our books. My hero’s insatiable desires are definitely for sex, lots of it. In fact, he needs a woman daily to keep his dark side at bay, and only his soul mate’s love can keep him balanced.
Diana Holquist: I love that! It’s just like in HUNGRY FOR MORE. Well, the soul-mate-balance part, not the dark-side-at-bay stuff.
Rita Herron: In INSATIABLE DESIRE, the hero also possesses a dark hunger for blood, which enables him to get into the minds of killers and to track them down. And evil has definitely risen from the underworld to test him . . .
Diana Holquist: OK, so I don’t have the bloodlust or evil-from-the-underworld stuff, either. HUNGRY FOR MORE is about really, really yummy food, though. A dark hunger for truffles, maybe—it’s about the inner workings of restaurants. Also, it’s about how food and sex are linked in mysterious, funny ways.
Rita Herron: Which is why I can’t wait to pick up HUNGRY FOR MORE. It sounds really fun.
Diana Holquist: And INSATIABLE DESIRE sounds exciting, scary, and very sexy! I can’t wait to read it to see how you treat this material. So let’s stop writing and get reading! Enjoy, everyone! Two very different books with a lot in common. Happy reading!

DON’T MISS . . .THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BORDERS TRILOGY:
BORDER WEDDING
By Amanda Scott
Amanda Scott plunges readers into the untamed and breathtaking fourteenth-century Scottish Borders—a land of blood and beauty.
Marry or hang! For Sir Walter Scott, caught stealing back his own cattle from his thieving neighbor, death is almost preferable to wedding his captor’s eldest daughter. Yet to save his loyal men, Wat trades the hangman’s noose for a woman he barely knows, Lady Margaret Murray—reputed to be one of the homeliest women in the Borders. For Meg, marriage means the promise of a life she thought beyond her grasp. She offers herself unreservedly to this proud man, stirring his desire with her innocence and a body he finds hard to resist . . .
But their union has also made Meg a pawn in the end-less violence between England and Scotland. Soon, with treachery at every turn, Meg must choose between standing up to her unscrupulous brothers—or betraying the husband with whom she is falling deeply, passionately—and dangerously—in love.
