This week we have a guest blog and contest! Cynthia Eden's books have blown me away and I hope you have all picked up and tried at least one of her stories. If you haven't then make sure you enter the contest. Maybe you will win a signed copy of her newest release!
-------------------------
What’s your pleasure?
(A very big thanks to Amber for inviting me to guest post!)
Today, I find myself in book paradise. I can walk into a bookstore and find the shelves packed with stories about werewolves, vampires, and demons. Pretty much any paranormal character I can think of (say an immortal Greek god), well, I can find a romance about him—and that sure makes me one happy woman. Because when it comes to my reading…the paranormals are pure pleasure for me.
I read, and write, darker stories. Stories not just about the handsome guy next door. Instead, my tales are more about the demon next door, the one you probably shouldn’t trust, but you have to…because he’s the only man keeping you alive. Ah, yes, that would be my kind of story.
My latest release, MIDNIGHT’S MASTER, concludes my paranormal Midnight trilogy. The hero of this book is a guy with a very definite dark side, and he’s a man that many fear in the darkness of the night. What can I say? He’s my kind of guy. And for my heroine, Holly Storm…he’s the only man who can help her stop a killer—a killer who happens to be preying on supernatural victims.
But what about you? When it comes to reading, what’s your pleasure? Do you like the contemporary tales? The historicals? Or, do you have a darker side? Leave me a comment and tell me your reading pleasure. One commenter will win an autographed copy of MIDNIGHT’S MASTER.
Thanks! Cynthia Eden

I love all types of books. But I mostly read contemporary and paranormal books. I loved Midnight's Master but my favorite is Hotter After Midnight. I love werewolves.
My favorite genres are historical and paranormal, because they're not about the here and now. I'm living in the here and now, so I want to read about something different! And yet... although I'm happy to read about any kind of paranormal or magical characters, I particularly enjoy stories where the magic is *almost* possible, *almost" real.
I absolutely love paranormal and scifi/fantasy romance. I have been a huge fan forever. I am glad that the there are more and more stories available to read.
I am going to post this on my blog marniecolette.blogspot.com. Most certainly will share on my fb - MarnieColette
I love my genres, but my true love, oh yes fantasy, I guess that is my true pleasure at heart. But I will always love historicals, and those nice sweet regency novels. Not to mention that after I recently discovered the paranormal genre, well let's say I am stuck here and loving it.
I hope you wont get any spam now, I was spammed some time ago, it was horrible
My reading pleasures include dark paranormal especially when vampires are involved; also science fiction that have an emphasis on science; and historicals with a medieval setting.
I enjoy historical romances the most... but now and then I like paranormal romances like Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series! Count me in! delilah0180(at)yahoo(dot)com
I currently enjoy dark urban fantasy and paranormal romance. Sex and violence - lol. Please enter me in this contest as well. I would love to add another author to my growing favorites!
Cynthia, you are a new-to-me author that I have to look further into. The book sounds GREAT!
The things I write tend to be a little darker so I love reading what other authors come up with to soothe, maybe even ease, the darkness inside them. :-)
Most of my reading now is historicals and paranormals, or any combo of them. I'll still mix in some other genres, and if it's about pyschics or time travel any genre will do. I do like those edgier darker stories, but also lighter, fun ones, all depends on my mood at the moment.
I'm pretty greedy when it comes to reading, I'll read just about anything I can get my hands on and enjoy it! I really love period pieces, especially pieces about English tudor history, but I also like stories about the paranormal or supernatural. Have you read The Historian yet? That book is phenomenal. Thanks for the giveaway!
What's my pleasure...any type of romance. I love love, so I will read paranormal, historical, contemporary...doesn't matter as long as it's a good story.
I just started the Midnight series, and Demons have become my new love. I would love to win Midnight's Master! Please count me in.
Hi, everyone! Thanks for checking out my post. :-) I love reading about all the different reading preferences. Historicals, dark paranormals...ah, we all have our wicked pleasures!
I've had this strange fascination with vampires ever since I was a little girl. I have a list of over 400 books about vampires that I'm working on collecting. What I really love is discovering how many "types" of vampires there are, and each one is determined by the author. I mean, Laurell K. Hamilton's vamps are so different from J.R. Ward's, for example... WOOT!!!
Please enter me I love paranormal romance I admit Im totally adicted . Posted link on blog page http://ilovealldogs.blogspot.com/ and on myspace http://blogs.myspace.com/wandaflanagan
Midnight's Master looks awesome, congrats on its release!
I enjoy the darker edgy stuff as well as the lighter side. I read all heat levels and genres in romance, though I do seem to be reading more paranormals these days.
I live in Alabama too btw about 1hr 1/2 from Mobile :)! Do you have any signings in the area?
I posted to my facebook btw: http://www.facebook.com/pams00
I love all types of paranormals, YA or adult. I like them to be in a series though. Stand alones are ok, but I love the character development that takes place in multiple books.
I like a little bit of everything. Historicals and paranormals are my faves, but I also like romantic suspense now and again, and any of the darker paranormals are always fun, vamps, demons and the like.
Hey, I love this series. I would love to win a signed copy. I twittered about the contest here: http://twitter.com/Susi_Sunshine/status/2649411083
I love books about the dark site or in general paranormals. I also enjoy contemporary books. I think the important thing for me is a witty, sexy and adorable alpha male.
I like paranormal and historical romance the most. But I do tend to read erotic romance and urban fantasy too. Lately I have learned to like romantic suspense and contemporaries.
I love all types of books but what i mostly get a pleasure out of books is when i read about the darkside,vampires,demons,paranormalcharacters. And right now Midnight's Master sounds like a book that i wouldn't be able to put down!!!I really hope i can win a copy!!!
Hi, Cynthia! I started out reading purely contemporaries but in the last couple years have really branched out... My gigantic TBR now includes a little of just about everything except maybe horror. :)
I like darker fiction -- dark romance, horror, dark fantasy. I think my favorite genre is 19th and early 20th century horror. You can learn a great deal about a time/people by seeing what frightens them. Some fears seem universal (the dead, dark). Others are weirdly time bound. I remember reading one tale that absolutely baffled me. The protagonist wandered into the woods and met a beautiful young woman who seduced him. And... that was it. The "reveal" at the end was that she was a member of a witch "cult". There was no hint that she was malign or meant him harm. She was just odd. I puzzled over that one a lot, trying to figure out why the author thought such a woman/"cult" would be frightening.
http://twitter.com/PANASYNCOLTEN/status/2714500160 right now I am reading Worst Nightmare by Shane Briant and its the type that is scary but I also can't put it down
I love a variety of books. Generally only romances.
Historicals but usually historical Europe (Mainly England)during the Regency, Victorian, Georgian ect eras.
I love a wide variety of paranormals. Shifters, vamps, other worlds, magic, just about any paranormal.
I love hot hot books. And for erotic romances I will read any type. Contemporary, historical, paranormal etc. Just as long as there is a HEA or at least a HFN.
I also love my Harlequin Presents. Occasionally I'll read another series line like the Supers but not often.
I thought I had stopped by already but I guess I missed it.
I love Cynthia's books and can't wait to get the new one. (I know I'm behind).
I prefer paranormals and urban fantasy/fiction the most but I also like erotica and paranormal erotica too. Sometimes I just like a good old Harlequin romance, it just depends on my mood.
welcome Cynthia ! your work rocks btw and honestly for me i love all generas if its a great read i love it i lean more towards paranormal and the dark and brooding stuff lovey dovey girly stuff is ok too when the mood strikes just like erotic all has its time and place for me
Thanks for the contest! My favorite are vampire/shapeshifter with suspense,drama,romance and humor all rolled into one. Not into the historical or futuristic as much but I am learning to give all a try.
I love any book about that can keep my intrest. I read mostly paranormal, vampires, anything that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Thanks for the contest.
I read just about anything I can get my hands on. My first choice is usually mystery/suspense and I love reading about anyone with unusual abilities whether it be ESP, clairvoyance, witches etc. so werewolves are right up my alley.
I have to admit, I will read anything and everything Pride and Prejudice. I laughed when I saw the latest book (that added zombies), but of COURSE I will read it. Thanks!
Hi :) I enjoy the darker books. Horror and suspense and dark urban fantasy. Especially with a twist like Twilight Zone. I also enjoy urban fantasy. Also some historical fiction like Diana Gabaldon & Lady Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond series. And S.F. of course. Also Y.A. is very good. And classics of literature. And poetry. :) Love from Canada xoxo twitter.com/RKCharron
