Three Days of Weresnakes! [Day #2] - Character Interview w/ Aidan from The American Ophidian Series!

Hey guys! I hope you are all doing well... I've had a pretty weird day today. I've been kind of down, but at the same time been enjoying the Sookie Stackhouse series a lot LOL and I have to say my Tweeps were AMAZING in cheering me up. You guys rock!!!

Well, let's get back to our regular programing, shall we? Today I have a very special guest here at Larissa's Life. Aidan is weresnake, a VERY HOT weresnake I might add and he is also second in command to John Merrick in the American Ophidian Series by S.A. Price.

Aidan is so HOT and it makes me really happy to know that the next book in the series is about him and Myra. YAY!

What about you get to know a bit more about him?

1. Whats it like working for Merrick?

It’s more like I work with him not for him and it’s not bad at all. Sure when push comes to shove he’s the guy in charge but that just makes him the one to blame when things go wrong. Mer likes getting things his own way but he’s always been more of a carrot man than a stick man. He’s good with incentives and I like incentives. He’s a really good guy and I’ll call anyone who says otherwise. Mer does take way too much onto his plate though. I’m pretty sure it’s a guilt thing but its none of my business, I’m just glad he didn’t cut me and Kir loose years ago.

2. What’s the naughtiest sexual encounter you have ever had?

Ah... well that would be telling and a gentleman never tells.

Good thing there’s none around, there was this one time in Greece with a real cougar and I mean she really shifted into a cougar. That cat knew exactly what she wanted and I have a claw mark or two that proves it. She did this thing with her tongue and an ice cube that was indescribable, still sends shivers through me just thinking about it.

3. When you’re not doing work with Merrick, what is it you like to do?

No big secret there, I like fire. Course I like fucking and... can I say fucking? Anyway needless to say I’m a man of many F’s but fire is my real passion. In most of my spare time I’ll experiment with different materials building things up and burning them back down. There’s something about watching it spread and grow from a tiny spark, seeing it devour anything in its path until it dies down leaving warm glowy embers. It’s an obsession and I’m old enough to admit that it’s not an entirely healthy one, actually I have some scars to prove that too. Still nothing beats the haunting smell of accelerant.

4. Tell us about Myra...

Myra is... well she’s pretty alright... for a snake. She’s kind of like me in an unconventional snake kinda way. She paints with her body which is pretty fucking cool and it’s a very hot body, a very hot body. She uses her snake form as well which doesn’t freak me out as much as it might normally, maybe I’m growing as a person. Plus she smells of turps which I’d be lying if I said that didn’t turn me the hell on.

5. When can we expect a story from you, if any?

I’ve been told there may be something in the works but whether Action man gets in there first I’m not going to know. It certainly isn’t the last from me though, I’m not one to sit quietly back and let shit pass me by.

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are doing great! I want to thank you all for the love you guys have shown to my designs, you guys are awesome!

Now, I'd like to welcome you all to an awesome event that's going on at Larissa's Life this week.

Welcome to Three Days of Weresnakes!

S.A. Price's SUPER SEXY New book "Entwined by Fate" came out in Print today and to celebrate, they are giving away some awesome ebooks and swag! Giveaway deets are at the bottom of the post.

This is my ARC review of the book, enjoy!

"Thirty females of the Ophidian race have gone missing. Believed to be dead by every Archon in the states, Merrick leads a quiet and unassuming life, saving those of his race that are lost and need it most. It’s a solitary existence, one that he hates every day. He yearns for his mate, the woman he left over a decade before, and the woman who thinks him dead to this day.

When Elise Rizdon gets the official invitation to the Archon meeting in Ohio, she never expected to see the love of her life at the woman’s side, a man she was told was dead and buried. She lost him once upon a time, and she never fully recovered. Focusing on the issues, and not the man that has always made her body burn is not going to be easy.

A disturbing event is on the horizon, one that threatens all Ophidian’s and their way of life. In order to survive they will have to work together, give up old grudges and take chances on the things that matter most. Love, life and the continuation of their race."

From GoodReads.

For 15 years Elise has believed that the man that was to become her mate, was dead. Never having mated to no one else, Elise focused her life on taking care of her nest in New York and becoming a beloved and respected Archon.

John Merrick left the woman he loved years ago and, believing it would be safer for him and the love of his life, he let her and everyone else believe him dead. 15 years later, Merrick is an unofficial Archon and has been working with Ophidians without a nest (rogues) for a few years and an unexpected threat puts him face to face with the woman he could never forget.

Though I felt that this book dragged a bit in the beginning, I really enjoyed it. I love this world Stella and Audra have created and her characters are all very interesting. Besides Elise and Merrick's love story, there are a couple side tales that really catch the eye and just made me damn thirsty to read more.

Merrick is older, but hot as hell. The only thing that bothered me about him was his all so male attitude of not trusting the woman he loves and assuming he had to deal with what was keeping them apart on his own. His stubbornness cost him and Elise 15 years and it is damn irritating LOL.

Elise is such a strong character. Though it is obvious her weakness is John and the hole he left on her heart when he "died". I liked how she dealt with him when he first shows up again and I loved that though she wanted him more than ever, she was strong and demanded that he took her seriously once and for all. She seemed selfish at first and she even states that herself at times. But it is clear how much her nest and the future of her race is important to her.

I found the villain, Cristof, to be very creepy. I can't wait to see what comes up next. I loved the potential mates that we get introduced to. I have to say that Adrien and Homer are damn hot and I'm so happy that they are going to get their own books and HEA!

Though this first novel of the Ophidians is less naughty than the previous eBooks that take place in the same world. I found it very enjoyable and damn sexy too =)

I give it 4/5 Loveys

Smut Level 3.5/5 =)
