Kiru Taye & 'Kola' @KiruTaye @LoveBitesSilk #erotic #romance

Title: Kola Author: +Kiru Taye, Author Series: The Essiens, book 4 Genre: Contemporary, Erotic Romance Playlist Top five interesting Nigerian phrases found in the book, Kola, and their meanings. Mamaput: is a kiosk (lean-to with a covering) that sells food usually cooked outside. The phrase mamaput comes from "mama put food for me" or "madam put food for me" which is how customers ask to be served their food in pidgin English.
Bend-down boutique: is a stall in the market or even on the road side where second-hand clothes are piled on the floor and customers have to bend down to pick up the items they want to buy.
Face me, I face you: these are one-room apartments built in such a way that they are only divided by a corridor. So each room door faces the other, in a parallel layout.
Ashawo: means prostitute in Yoruba language. It is also used as an insult.
Nollywood: This is a term used to describe the Nigerian Movie industry, just as Hollywood, in the US or Bollywood in India. Nollywood movies are very popular in Africa and also getting popular worldwide. Nollywood is the third largest movie industry in the world. A look into the story

* When sassy heiress, Tari Essien, needs a place to escape the pressures of the hounding press, she turns to Kola Banks, a deeply scarred ex-soldier who's also the Essien chief of security. Kola can't offer Tari anything more than his protection. She's family for goodness sake, even if they share no blood ties.
* It’s a weekend of lessons for both of them. Together they can't avoid the explosive heat that sizzles between them, nor help pushing each others' boundaries physically as well as emotionally.
* But when the weekend ends and Tari's life is in danger, will Kola put his body as well as his heart in the line of fire to keep her safe?

* With slow steps, she walked toward him, keeping her voice low and packed with the need she had for him. "I dreamt about you last night. That your touch scorched my body, your tongue on my nipples. I’m dripping wet right now just thinking about it."
* He swivelled with a growl. Flinching, she took a step back at the intense expression on his face. The raw, almost feral heat in his gaze, the slight tip to one corner of his lips, baring white teeth. She trembled as she made the realisation; she was no longer the predator but now the prey.
* Just like that he'd switched on her. She'd gotten what she'd wanted.
* Her heart pounded against her chest and dampness soaked her knickers. How could his obvious anger turn her on so much?
* "You want a bit of rough? You want me to fuck you, is that it?"
* Shocked by his language, her words choked in her throat. No one had ever spoken to her in that manner. She clamped her thighs together, wanting to relief the building pressure.
* "No, you don't," he gritted out as he leaned over and tapped her thigh with his knuckles. "Keep your legs apart."
* She complied without understanding why he'd made the demand, only knowing she'd do whatever he asked, if it'd give her what she craved. Him fucking her hard and fast.
* She’d taunted him for that reason. If it would drive away the ache in her heart for a little while, then she’d take it no matter how rough it was.
* "Answer my question," he said, the calmness in his deep voice belying the passion in his dark eyes.
* "Yes," her voice was a soft husky whisper, her body trembling with her own increasing desire.
* "Say it, Tari," he commanded.
* "I want you to fuck me," she replied and relished the freedom the words gave her.

* Kiru is the award winning author of His Treasure and bestselling author of The Essien Trilogy series. She writes sensual and passionate multicultural romance stories set mostly in Africa. When she's not writing you can find her either immersed in a good book or catching up with friends and family. She currently lives in the South of England with her very own alpha husband and three children.

Looking at Kiru Taye & 'Men of Valor' @KiruTaye @LoveBitesSilk #african #historical #romance

Men of Valor 1- 3 Box Set Books by Kiru Taye: His Treasure #1, His Strength #2, His Princess #3 Genre: Historical Romance Release date: May 25, 2015 Photographer: Hector Obeng Cover design: Love Bites and Silk Add to: Goodreads A look into the story

~ INFO for HIS TREASURE ~ IN A TIME when men ruled their households with firm hands, can a quiet man tame his rebellious wife with persevering love?
* Love Romances Café Best Book of 2011
* Kiru smolders with the sensitivity of the loved in describing this man... An exceptional book, well worth the time, money and frustration.....Sigh! ~ Imagervet (Amazon reviewer)
* I didn't want the story to end, it was that good. ~ The Wordsmythe (Amazon reviewer)

* Obinna looked up at her, his eyes fringed by long, dark lashes, a black, expressionless pool she could drown in, always unnerved her. As she couldn’t read his mood, gauging how to tell him what she wanted to say was difficult.
* “Yes, say what’s on your mind Adaku,” he said in his usual deep voice, as he licked his long fingers.
* Something stirred low within her belly. Her eyes hungrily followed his action, and she got distracted. For a brief moment she wished it was her fingers he was licking.
* “That could be arranged.”
* Adaku looked up sharply and Obinna’s brow was lifted with amusement. She realized she must have spoken her thought out loud. Embarrassment and heat washed over her as he took hold of her hand in his large one.
* Somewhere within her mind something shifted. An awareness of Obinna at a primal level registered in her rapidly hazing brain.
* The air suddenly felt warmer and her skin prickled. He took her fingers into his warm mouth in turn, twirling his moist tongue around each. Sensation flooded her body, and she forgot everything else she wanted to say. All she could feel was the stroke of his tongue on her fingers as he sucked and lapped each one.
* His touch scorched her straight to her soul.
* She gasped and his gaze came up, locking on to her and pinning her to the spot. His eyes were filled with a desire she couldn’t explain. His tongue moved down her skin, searing a path to the spot at the center of her palm before licking it. Then he released her hand, and she realized she was trembling.

~ INFO for HIS STRENGTH ~ WHEN A WARRIOR seeks to claim a free-spirited woman, he soon discovers a tigress unwilling to be caged. Is the hunter about to be hunted?
* The story is well told, the characters are tight and multi dimensional. ~ PamelaStitch.com
* I enjoyed the FIERY passion between Ikem and Nneka...their chemistry is totally OFF-THE-CHARTS...and only IGNITED more by their INTENSE and sometimes humorous verbal sparring. ~ Malaika Tamu (Amazon reviewer)

* "Why did you not come to see me when you want me so?" He cocked his eyebrow cynically.
* Her mouth formed an O. "I-I don't want you," she replied in a petulant fashion, shaking her head vigorously. But her eyes told him another story. They were a warm brown and stared at his lips as if expecting him to kiss her.
* Maybe I should oblige her.
* He chuckled. "Liar," he whispered before he lowered his lips to her. But he didn't claim her lips immediately. Instead he feathered her face and neck with kisses, alternating between nipping and licking her sweet-salty skin. Her breathing increased rapidly. When he looked up, he noticed that her eyes were closed. He licked the pulse at her neck before he trailed his lips back up and hovered above her lips. She opened her eyes and moaned softly.
* "Say it, Nneka. You want me to kiss you."
* "Never!" Her voice, as well as her body, trembled as she spoke.
* "Why do you have a tough time admitting what you want? Your eyes and body betray you easily." He laughed as he pushed his thigh between her legs, parting them. He felt the heat and dampness of her hooded pearl against his bare skin.

~ INFO for HIS PRINCESS ~ WITH THE WEIGHT of a kingdom on his shoulders and his honour at stake, can a Prince truly love a slave?
* I loved the hero, who in a land and time of male dominance, chose to be a man without reproach - a man worth losing one's heart to. ~ Empi Baryeh, author
* This book was fantastic. Throughout it I kept wondering how the hero and heroine would end up together. When the major revelation came I said, "Hot holy crap" out loud because I didn't see it coming. ~ Nana Prah, author

* "Rise, Ezinne," he said.
* The intense timbre of his words resonated, doing odd things to her insides. She’d heard him speak before. Still, being alone with him seemed to heighten the effect of his voice on her body.
* She straightened but kept her eyes lowered. She needed to gain back control of her body. If she kept her eyes lowered, away from him, she could keep her body in check.
* "Look at me," he said in a snappy and low… dangerously low tone.
* Was he annoyed?
* Slowly she lifted her chin, her stare connecting with his once more. His lips were pursed, confirming her suspicions of his irritation.
* Anxiety and excitement caused her heart to thump against her chest. Instinct told her to look away. This was the prince. He was capable of crushing her with a snap of his fingers. She should heed the warning.
* Instead, she refused to look away and held his gaze. Infuriation crept up her spine at a snail's pace. She would not be intimidated.
* "When you are in my presence, you will look at me directly," he continued.
* "As you wish, my prince." She nodded and curtsied briefly still maintaining his gaze.
* "And when we are in private like right now, you will use my given name, Emeka."
* Doing that would mean accepting this whole arrangement as his con—companion. She couldn't do that. She wouldn't do that.
* "No, my prince. Regardless of where we are, you are still the Crown Prince of Umunri, and I'm just a servant in your palace. I can't address you by your given name. It is improper."
* "That may be so. But for the next four weeks, you are here to grant my every desire as my concubine."

A look into the story

~ Blurb ~ * Seen as the rebel Essien, Tony has always felt like an outsider. With a daredevil lifestyle, he’s more at home in leathers than in a suit, and more likely to be seen gracing the red carpets at a movie premiere with a starlet draped on his arms than in a boardroom. Still, he’s determined to prove himself to his family and build a successful movie business. Spotting Rita Dike at an event, he sees the potential star of his new movie and his next pleasure conquest.
* Rita is a journalist looking for her big break. When she inherits the journal of her late best friend who claims Tony is not an Essien, she spots the perfect scoop. Her acting classes come in handy when she has to pose as an actress to get closer to Tony. Succumbing to the charms of dark and brooding Tony might just be the only way to get through the close ranks of the Essien family.
* But as she gets closer to the truth, Rita risks losing the riding rebel who’s raided her heart. Can love heal hearts or will deceit break them?
Tagline: Love. Lust. Deceit

* His grip on her arm tightened and he increased his pace as they headed across the polished marbled floor of the lobby to the lifts. She stumbled. He swivelled, grasped her shoulder, and pulled her into him to save her from falling over. He'd forgotten she was tottering on sky-high-heeled shoes. He really shouldn’t be such a bastard no matter how pissed off he was at the situation.
* His panting breath mingled with hers, their faces only an inch apart. "I'm sorry."
* "It's okay," she whispered in a breathy voice, surprisingly subdued.
* The urge to kiss her rose, watering his mouth. They stood in the middle of a busy lobby with prying eyes and mobile phone cameras. Tomorrow, their pictures would be splashed all over the Internet. It never bothered him when that happened. However Rita's artless demeanour indicated she wasn't used to the limelight. Something in him wanted to shield her from the exposure.
* So he tamped down his desire and tilted her head up so she had to look into his eyes. Her soft, smooth skin felt warm and beautiful brown irises met his hesitantly. "I'm going to call the lift and go up to my room. It's your choice if you want to come up or not."
* "What..." She sucked in a breath as if gathering strength to say what she needed. "What do you want from me?"
* "I want to fuck you," he said in low voice meant for her ears only.
* Her lips parted, her breath hitched. The pulse on her neck thundered and her throat rippled as she swallowed. But she didn't back away and her saucer-wide eyes turned molten brown with lust.
* There. He had his answer. She wanted him. Would she let him fuck her? Because that's what it would be. In his world, sex was about fucking. Wild, animalistic, unrestrained rutting. He would see to her pleasure again and again. Still, it wouldn’t be sweet and it wouldn’t be loving.
* A lift opened and a man stepped out. Tony released her and walked into the lift.
* Turning, he faced her. Enough game playing. She had to come to him of her own volition.
* She stood there looking sexy as sin as she bit her bottom lip and her forehead puckered in a frown as if she wondered why he'd left her in the lobby.
* "I'm not going to drag you into the lift, if that’s what you were expecting." His fingers itched to do it, though. He didn't want to contemplate that she would turn around and walk away. Yet he had to give her the opportunity. "You have to walk into this lift yourself if you want me."
* She glanced behind her and took a hesitant step backward.
* His heart thundered. She was going to run. He held his breath and counted to ten to stop from stepping out and grabbing her arm. Instead, he jammed his finger into the door hold button and waited. Seconds ticked by that felt like hours. Sweat beaded his forehead.
* She looked up and met his gaze. "Can you make the pain go away?"
