Interview With Renee Rose
I sat down (virtually) with Renee Rose for a short interview. Renee Rose is part of the super sexy boxed set, Bound, Spanked and Loved: Fourteen Kinky Valentine’s Day Stories!
Cynthia Sax: What makes your heroes so freakin’ sexy?
Renee Rose: For this box set, I wrote my first menage. One of the hottest things about a menage, especially one with two doms, is that you can include lots of dialogue with the two doms discussing what to do with their captive sub. It adds to the objectification of the submissive, and builds excitement as they discuss what to do with her. It also creates sweet moments, when they discuss that she’s had too much, or that she needs some tender aftercare. 🙂
Cynthia Sax: Where did you get the idea for Theirs to Punish?
Renee Rose: I was reading a YA heist story with my 10-year-old, and of course, everything turns dirty in my filthy imagination!! 🙂
Cynthia Sax: How does Theirs To Punish start?
Renee Rose: My story begins with the heroine dropping from the air ducts into one of the hero’s rooms to steal a necklace from his safe. Both the heroine and the hero are trained in martial arts, so there’s a lovely tussle that leaves them both aroused (and of course, leaves the heroine pinned the floor at his mercy!).
Cynthia Sax: Where is Theirs To Punish set?
Renee Rose: My story is set in a high-class casino, which is owned by the Jamison twins, my two dominant heroes. While the characters don’t actually spend that much time out on the floor of the casino, it makes for an exciting setting, in that things can happen at all times of day and night (no one sleeps in Vegas!). No one bats an eye at seeing a young woman dressed in a submissive’s collar, either.
Cynthia Sax: Thank you, Renee Rose, for joining us today!

Maud and the Secret Society of Saint Valentine by Emily Tilton ~ Maud has decided that the new boyfriend she’s crazy about can’t be serious when he tells her she needs a firm hand in the bedroom and everywhere else.

Crash And Burn
Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.
Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.
Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.
Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.

Interview With Renee Rose
I sat down (virtually) with Renee Rose for a short interview. Renee Rose’s latest release is The Hand of Vengeance, a SciFi Romance!
Renee Rose: Hi Cynthia! I’m so excited to be here on your site because, well, I want to be you when I grow up!
Cynthia Sax: What? I’m supposed to grow up? No one told me that. Okay, if we’re doing a serious interview (grins)… What makes Blade sexy?
Renee Rose: Blade Vengeance is a dominant male on a planet where gender roles have reverted to primitive levels. He expects complete obedience from females and isn’t afraid to administer discipline when he deems it necessary.
Cynthia Sax: What excites you most about The Hand of Vengeance?
Renee Rose: This is my first sci-fi! I had the scenario in my head of the dominant protector trekking through the wilderness with a woman who doesn’t know what she’s doing (I guess it’s Romancing the Stone–lol!) but I couldn’t quite figure out how to make it work in modern day times, so I realized I needed to create a new world, where a hot hero could take a woman in hand…
Cynthia Sax: How does The Hand of Vengeance start?
Renee Rose: My story starts in an old schoolhouse which is being used as a medical camp for Jeselians injured in the recent earthquake. The heroine, surgeon Lara Simmons, is operating on a patient when the lights go out. At first she thinks it’s a normal power outage, but she soon realizes they are under siege by rebel troops who are there to kidnap her.
Cynthia Sax: What causes problems between Lara and Blade?
Renee Rose: The conflict between the hero and heroine is that of civilized vs. savage. The heroine comes from Earth, where there’s hardly a difference between woman and men anymore, and where there’s no wilderness left for exploring. The hero’s people have been enslaved to work in diamond mines on a completely undeveloped planet. He is accustomed to violence, hard work, and living from the land.
Additional conflict comes from the hero’s heart being shuttered, as a result of losing his sister to violence when he was a slave. He has vowed vengeance for her death, and his life from that point had been single-pointedly focused on that goal. Lara must coax his heart open again if they are to have a relationship.
The final conflict is Lara’s own conflict with submission. As a modern woman from Earth, she finds Blade’s discipline demeaning and sexist, yet her body responds to it. As she comes to crave his mastery, she must admit her own leanings as a submissive.
Cynthia Sax: Thank you, Renee Rose, for joining us today!

The Hand of Vengeance
On a humanitarian mission to the war-torn planet Jesel, Dr. Lara Simmons is used to dealing with lack of supplies, power outages and the constant earthquakes that afflict the planet. But when she’s captured by the rebels who need her to perform a life-saving surgery, she finds herself in a situation her medical training didn’t prepare her for.
When the airship is blown out of the sky, she ends up in the Jeselian wilderness with no one to rely on but Blade Vengeance, an enormous tattooed rebel warrior. Dominant and unyielding, he doesn’t hesitate to take her in hand when she disobeys the rules he lays out for her. Yet she soon learns he also knows how to deliver pleasure–with a passion she’s never before experienced.
Blade finds the doctor from Earth sexy as hell, especially when she’s giving him attitude, but once he delivers her to headquarters, he tries to pull back from her allure. Known for single-handedly starting the revolution and freeing many of his people, his life is one of hardship, slavery and war. Going soft on a woman isn’t part of his plan, especially with the final strike of the revolution so close. But when he sends Lara back to Earth to keep her safe during the upcoming battle, he inadvertently delivers her into enemy hands. Can he find and save her from the revolution he caused?
Publishers Note: This story contains spanking and explicit sex scenes, including anal penetration. If such subject matter offends, do not buy this book.

Talking Breathing Vapor And Crash And Burn
I’m talking about cyborgs, spanking and future stories at Renee Rose’s online home today.
http://www.reneeroseromance.com/2015/09/one-freakin-hot-cyborg-releasing-rage.html
Here’s a snippet…
“Renee Rose: I would categorize Releasing Rage as a D/s (Dominance/submission) book. Do you ever throw in a little spanking or bondage?
Cynthia Sax: Releasing Rage definitely has dominance and submission in it. Rage is a warrior, accustomed to giving orders and trained to react to threats. Joan, the human heroine, understands this, allowing him to command her.
I know you write some hot, hot, HOT romances featuring some palm-warming spanking scenes (exploring spanking in Regencies is simply brilliant). My November release, Breathing Vapor, has a spank-happy cyborg hero. [Renee Rose: YIPPEE!] Mira, the human heroine, has issues letting go and expressing emotion. The sessions over Vapor’s knee help her with this.”

Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.
Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.
Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.
When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?
