Please help us welcome author Donya Lynne of the All the King’s Men paranormal romance series, and the mates of her vampire hotties!
*If you can not see the embedded document above, you can download it to read locally here.

Assassin Gina Carano doesn’t have time for love. In fact, the last thing she wants is a mate. But Gina can’t stop thinking about Malek, the handsome AKM enforcer she met in Chicago. And now she’s beginning to fear Malek’s memory is the reason for her crippling panic attacks, which have assaulted her relentlessly since she left him.
Malek has never dealt with the centuries-old death of his first mate, but now that he’s formed a new mating link to Gina, he has no choice. Stuck between the agony of mourning and the despair of being without Gina, his mind fractures as he attempts to reconcile the two halves of himself.
When Gina botches a hit on two vicious vampires in Miami, she reluctantly flees back to Chicago, where Malek must choose between the past and the future before he loses Gina forever.
Warning: This book contains explicit sexual content, sensitive subject matter, references to non-traditional/alternative lifestyles, and strong profanity.

Loved your book! Can’t wait for Trace’s story!!
Really enjoyed the interview. Would like to know more about Cordray and the reason behind her inability to feel except with Tristan. Love her snark too! Thanks for the giveaway.
Actually, Cordray can only feel with Trace, not Tristan. Hers is an interesting tale, so we’ll see how it plays out in the next book or two.
malek…look at the cover…need there be more of a reason? 😉 thanks for the hop! 🙂
LOL. Malek is one of my favorites. I love his muse. So handsome.
That was a fun interview. I totally want to know more about Cord. I think she’s got some secrets in her, but Io and Miriam were the favs so far.
Thanks for putting together the interview and the giveaway.
Cordray is a hoot. She’s a blast to write, but you’re right. She has some secrets. Hopefully we’ll learn more about those soon.
Tristan and Josie interest me, we don’t know much about them at all.
Nope. They didn’t talk much to me for a long time but finally started opening up recently. We’ll see more from them in the mini-prequel.
I would just love to learn more about Josie.
More is coming about Josie in the mini-prequel. She finally started speaking to me. 🙂
🙂 Awesome interview with the guys!
The characters I want to know more about are Trace and his mate ( although I know we wont find out more about her until probably the book comes out) 🙂 ASide from that Io and Miriam are my faves.
I’ve been working on Trace’s story the past few days, so it’s coming. 🙂 Stay tuned.
It’s always a blast visiting this blog. I’ll be around off and on today if any of your readers want to ask questions. 🙂
sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love all the characters, but would love to know more about MICAH! Micah, Micah, Micah!
I would like to get to know Cordray because she wants everyone to think she is so tough but really has a soft heart for Trace.
Josie and Tristan, they are a Mystery!
They’re a mystery to me, too. Hopefully, they will start talking about themselves more now, though.
I think I would love to hear more about Cordray! She sounds fun and interesting. I can’t wait to read Return of the Assassin. Thanks for sharing it and the giveaway. evamillien at gmail dot com
Definitely Micah! I do love him so 🙂
🙂 Micah has such a large, devoted following.
I absolutely love this book and think the interview was outstanding! I can’t wait to know Courdray better becasue you know she is hiding deep substance under all that snark!
It’s Micah, I don’t need to say more ;).
He IS the original, isn’t he? 😉
With the way Cordray started out the interviews with being so adamant that she didn’t like Trace I can’t wait to see what’s in store for her in their book! Thanks for the giveaway!
LOL. “Their” book. It’s funny. Some are so certain they are going to be together, and others aren’t. Cordray is one of those characters readers either love or hate when it comes to Trace. Only time will tell what secrets she holds.
I can’t wait for Traces book and I would love to know more about Cordray love that little vixen and how she presses Traces buttons 😉
Alas, I could not read the interview on my blasted computer! I have Windows 8 and Microsoft Word was not included (I have to buy it 🙁 ) Anyways, with that being said, I can imagine what was said (as I have read the whole series and I’m part of your reader group on FB as well as your friend 🙂 ) So, I’m gonna say Cordray. She’s such a spitfire and she really speaks to me lol. And of course Trace, he sounds so edible… um delectable… interesting! 🙂
<3 Donya Lynne! You are not only a fantastic author, but your sense of humor and creativity make you such a great person all around. 😉
I already have the book, but thought I’d say that I think it would be fun to get to know Cordray better. She’s so odd!
Gina Corana. First she is an assassin and second there seems to be a bond between Malek and her. I want to know more about her.
Malek has caught my attention.
marypres(AT)gmail(DOT)com
Ari – I like the fact he has stood up to his parents and faced his fears. i have had to stand up to bullies myself and it is always hard.
Trace to see how he really feels about Cord
bn100candg at hotmail dot com
Trace! Trace! Trace! I ❤ Trace and i want to know more about Cord and Trace 😉
Malek…hot, sexy and conflicted
OMG….this sounds soooo good! Want to read NOW!!
I would DEFINATELY like to get to know Malek better.
I would like to get to know Miriam and Io better because of their addiction.
