The
Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . ECHOES OF LOVE . . . Echoes of Love was a short story that was a different take of
ghost and foreseeing the future. This simply quick read gave a chance at
romance to two individuals that have had an interest in each other for a few
years but neither have acted on those feelings. Kala, Tor, Vika and a futuring
ghost (vardøger) have a whirlwind
introduction. The read gets interesting and intriguing but then it’s over. I do
hope that more will be coming.
BLURB
Paranormal writer Kala Westenra,
staying with her best friend Vika in Norway, is hunting for a new subject for
an article, and finds it when she hears footsteps in the hall twenty minutes
before Vika's hot brother Tor Viitanen arrives home. This, Vika tells her, is
the vardøger - a Norwegian ghost, a future
echo which always precedes a person's arrival.
Kala plans to stake out the
hallway to catch the vardøger in the act - and is shocked
when, on its arrival, it kisses her. Her feelings for Tor have been hidden ever
since she first met him two years ago; could it be that the vardoger is acting
on Tor's secret desire for her?
As Kala and Tor work together to
understand what is happening with the spirit, their longing for each other
begins to overtake them - but the vardøger has
more to show them than they expected...

Tor
reached over the arm of the sofa, pulled up a cushion and threw it at her. Vika
threw it back, knocking over her wineglass at the same time.
“Here,
let me get you a refill.” Kala reached for the bottle, but it was empty. Vika
stood and made for the door, picking up her jacket from the hook on the back on
her way past.
“I’ll run
out and get another one. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t
do.”
Kala
launched the cushion after her, hitting the door instead.
“I can
see why you and my sister get on so well.” Tor raised an eyebrow. “You’re both
drunks.”
“Oh, shut
up. I’m still technically a student. I can drink if I like.”
“Soon to
be a writer and they drink a lot, too, I’ve heard.”
Kala
laughed. “I don’t know about journalists, though. Although I’d quite like to be
a writer, too—novels or something. I don’t know what kind yet.”
“I’ll
keep my eyes open for your hot new release.”
Ooh.
Kala held
his gaze, her insides stirring strangely. Maybe it was the alcohol, but there
was something in the words hot release that made a rush of heat flow through
her body, her skin tingling.
After a
long moment, Tor spoke again. “So, Vika thinks you need a man.”
“I don’t
need a man. I may want a man.”
“Oh,
yeah?” Something flickered across Tor’s face, his eyes glowing. He shifted onto
his knees, leaning over the arm of the sofa, his face close to hers. “What sort
of man do you want?”
“Oh, you
know. We hotshot journalists don’t like to be tied down.” Kala gave him a
taunting look, leaning closer to him so that their faces were almost touching.
“Tall, dark, commitment-phobic. That’ll do me.”
“I can
help you there.”
A sudden
rush of movement and Tor’s mouth was on hers.
This is a
bad idea. He’s Vika’s brother.
But
somehow she no longer cared and Tor was right here and he was moving, moving
over the arm of the sofa as they were still kissing, then his body was pressing
down onto hers and they were still—
To hell
with it, she thought and arched up against him, tangling her fingers in his
hair.
She felt
his hard cock through his jeans as it brushed against her leg, sending a dart
of wet heat straight to her cunt. His hands ran down, caressing her neck, her
shoulders, cupping her breasts and rolling his thumbs over her nipples through
her bra.
Oh, God—
Then the
sound of the lock clicking.
Immediately,
Tor rolled off her and onto the floor, twisting round to position himself back
at the side of the sofa. Kala sat up and ran a hand through her hair.
Shit,
that was close.
“Here's
the wine,” Vika announced as she came through the door, shopping bag in hand.
“I got back as fast as I could.”

MY
INTERVIEW WITH TANITH DAVENPORT
What
are some of your writing/publishing goals for this year?
I'm working
on a piece for Harlequin at the moment which I'd like to get finished and
accepted. I'm also working on two new novellas for Totally Bound and intend to
try m/m romance next.
Do you
feel that writing is an ingrained process or just something that flows
naturally for you?
I think
it's a little of both. I spent a lot of time reading online fanfiction before I
started writing, which taught me a lot about the pitfalls a writer can fall
into and the sorts of things which work and don't work, but at the same time I
think the writing does just flow - once I get going I can work at it for hours.
If you
could spend one-week with 5 fictional character, who would they be?
I'm a
great lover of Jane Austen, so it'd be Elizabeth Bennet, Emma Woodhouse, Anne
Elliot, Catherine Morland and Henry Crawford, who I think would be man enough
for everyone.
Where
would you spend one full year, if you could go ANYWhere? What would you do with
this time?
I've
always wanted to do a driving tour of America, although it might be better to
make it fly-drive. I'd like to visit every state and see as many of the
landmarks as possible, as well as take in Route 66.
