Dareville

2008-03-03T18:58:50Z

Leighellwood: /* Books and Stories in The Dareville Series */

[[Category: Romance Series]]
'''Dareville''' is a series of erotic romance novels and stories written by [[Leigh Ellwood]] for [[Phaze]]. As described on Ms. Ellwood's website:

''Dareville is more than a place...it's a sensual state of mind, proof that great passion can be found in the smallest of towns. Dareville isn't based on any town or place in particular, but it is a place I often come to where I need inspiration. You could also say it's place people visit when they want to come often.
''

The name "Dareville" is derived from the word ''dare'' as applied to erotic romance, and from the proper name Dare, which is synonymous with Virginia (Virginia Dare being the first of the settlers born in the US; Dare is a common name found in the area). Each title in the series uses the word ''dare'' in some form.

Leighellwood: /* Novels */

[[category:Authors - E]]
Leigh Ellwood is the pen name of a writer of mysteries; the name she has chosen for the purpose of writing romance (be it chaste, sensual, or spicy) is derived from the names of two favorite entertainers. She lives and writes in the sweltering South and seeks inspiration in the many people she has met and loved over the years.

Having found moderate success in writing mystery and suspense, Ellwood decided in 2004 to try her hand (and pen) at romance. Ellwood's first attempt in the genre is [[Truth Or Dare - Leigh Ellwood|Truth or Dare]], the first of Ellwood's [[Dareville]] series with [[Phaze]].

She is published with [[Phaze]], [[Liquid Silver Books]], [[Midnight Showcase]], and [[Samhain Publishing, Ltd.]]. She has also contributed to [http://www.playgirl.com Playgirl.com] and [http://www.suitemag.com SUITE].

Dareville

2006-04-07T14:10:01Z

Leighellwood: /* Books and Stories in The Dareville Series */

Dareville is a series of erotic romance novels and stories written by [[Leigh Ellwood]] for [[Phaze]]. As described on Ms. Ellwood's website:

''Dareville is more than a place...it's a sensual state of mind, proof that great passion can be found in the smallest of towns. Dareville isn't based on any town or place in particular, but it is a place I often come to where I need inspiration. You could also say it's place people visit when they want to come often.
''

The name "Dareville" is derived from the word ''dare'' as applied to erotic romance, and from the proper name Dare, which is synonymous with Virginia (Virginia Dare being the first of the settlers born in the US; Dare is a common name found in the area). Each title in the series uses the word ''dare'' in some form.

== Reviews ==
* "Dangerous Lars...sweet, gentle Jack...an explosive combo crafted in rich, evocative language. Well done!" - Victoria Skezas

* "Do we love the soul -- the very essence of a person -- or is our love contingent upon the packaging? Lars struggles with this question in a tale that will leave you aching for more! Sexy, evokative and poignant." - Alessia Brio

* "A different kind of love story, JACK OF HEARTS will appeal to readers who love the unexpected." - Terrie Figueroa, Romance Reviews Today

* "I can't say anymore without giving away the creative plot twist the author has concocted for this lighthearted tale of mismatched lovers. Ms. Ellwood's vivid descriptions captivate and truly make the story come to life. Full of dark, Halloween-inspired atmosphere and rich sensual undercurrents, this short novella shows a lot of promise. I hope there will be a much-needed sequel to this book. I'm eagerly awaiting some sort of closure to what is otherwise a well-written, engaging short story." - Belle, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

* "The very talented Leah Ellwood presents a real twist in this tale of reincarnated love in Jack of Hearts. Can Lars accept that if he wants to love his Lila, he would have to become intimate with another man? The male-male love scenes are beautifully drawn, sexy and emotional." - P. Grant, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

* "I applaud Leigh Ellwood for writing a short story that made this reader stop and think after reading the last paragraph. Are we destined to love the soul of the person to the point where appearances are not important? Or is our love fickle to the point where we can be side tracked by someone's race, creed or sexual preference?" - Anita, Fallen Angel Reviews

* Leigh Ellwood gives us a sympathetic vampire protagonist and wonderful description of the contemporary setting. A wonderful holiday story that needs to be read to be appreciated. - Emily, Romance Divas

Vampire Julian Van Wyck has enjoyed a successful incarnation as a modern-day musician, but his joys are overshadowed by his mortal wife's death. Having buried his wife, he is ready to join her. Only the loving intervention of his music partner, Dan Wilkinson, keeps him alive. Yet, it's not enough to keep Julian around in this time.

The vampire decides a long sleep will help him forget his pain. Perhaps living in the future, removed from his wife's death, will allow him to continue living. Unfortunately, this decision does more harm than good. Can Julian undo this mistake and find happiness again?

* 4 1/2 Unicorns from Enchanted in Romance! "Ellwood has written a book that is written with vivid emotions that will touch and move the reader. The passion and love can be felt just flowing from the characters...Definitely pick this one up." - Anita

* 4 Ribbons from Romance Junkies! "Leigh Ellwood always pours such emotion into her lovers, whether they're male/female or male/male in this instance. Julian suffers from his grief and like many, believes happiness will not find him again. While his feelings for Dan are new and different, what they have together will be just as fulfilling and fraught with love as what he had with Jessie if he doesn't wake too late. THE HEALING is Ellwood's first venture into the paranormal and proves her talents are boundless!" - Tracy Marsac [Link To Reviews]

Leigh Ellwood

2006-03-30T02:13:21Z

Leighellwood: /* Published Works */

Leigh Ellwood is the pen name of a writer of mysteries; the name she has chosen for the purpose of writing romance (be it chaste, sensual, or spicy) is derived from the names of two favorite entertainers. She lives and writes in the sweltering South and seeks inspiration in the many people she has met and loved over the years.

Having found moderate success in writing mystery and suspense, Ellwood decided in 2004 to try her hand (and pen) at romance. Ellwood's first attempt in the genre is [[Truth or Dare]], the first of Ellwood's [[Dareville]] series with [[Phaze]].

She is published with [[Phaze]], [[Venus Press]], [[Silk's Vault Publishing]], [[Midnight Showcase]], and [[Samhain Publishing, Ltd.]]. She is also a contributor to [http://www.playgirl.com Playgirl.com] and [http://www.suitemag.com SUITE].

Leighellwood:

Kathryn refuses to bore you the mundane details of her life, choosing instead to skip to the good parts.

When Kathryn is not writing, she freelances as an editor for various small presses. She refuses let herself by dictated by current fashion. She would rather look like Jane Russell than Lara Flynn Boyle any day of the week, and thankfully her husband does not seem to mind. While working on her Masters at the University of Georgia (she later dropped out), Kathryn was a student judge for the Peabody Awards.

She refused Bill Moyers admission to the Waldorf-Astoria ballroom because he wasn't wearing his nametag. Even though Bill was nice about it, Kathryn felt stupid because, as a journalism student, she should have known Bill Moyers on sight. Kathryn presently owns all subsidiary rights to her published novels, so if you're a bigshot filmmaker or an agent with an "in" to a mass market reprint publisher, she's listening.

* 5 Stilettos from Erotic Romance Reviews for Women: "Ms. Ellwood brought the characters to life and portrayed the setting factually. The plot was fast moving and well developed. Marissa became endeared to me from the very first chapter. It was only right that she should have the reward of pleasure of her own. The sexual encounters were tastefully done and arousing. You will not be able to read this story without becoming totally involved in it."

* 5 Unicorns from Enchanted in Romance: "Phenomenal short story! I was touched that this author was able to weave such a tender, loving sub-story about a couple just trying to hold on for however long to the love they've shared while a debilitating condition is ravaging the woman. Then the heroine's compassion and understanding of their needs while her body is being thrown into a raging lust is just pure ingenious. A must read that will worm its way into your mind and soul."

The world is waiting for the next steamy Tania Garber romance...all Tania has to do is write it. But with her marriage ended and her inspiration gone, Tania doesn't know if she can write romance anymore. She needs a muse, and finds the next best thing in her new downstairs neighbor.

== Reviews ==
* Four ribbons from Romance Junkies! "MUSE is another great addition to Leigh Ellwood's growing list of fabulous, passionate romances!" - Tracy
* Four coffee cups from Coffee Time Romance! "Ms. Ellwood creates a realistic atmosphere with these two, and brings in excellent secondary characters to complete the story. Fast paced with plenty of excitement, this romance will leave the Reader with something to smile about." - Wateena
* Three angels from Fallen Angel Reviews! "Muse is an enjoyable romance that lets readers experience a variety of situations in one story. While the plot starts slowly, readers will be drawn into Tania's life and into the lives of the characters she is crafting. As the real life Boone inspires her, readers will be pleased at the dual storylines. Their interludes are passionate and show the baffling attraction neither can explain nor resist. However, readers are poised for the conflict that is sure to arise from Boone's life and Ms. Ellwood delivers; Tania is in tears and readers are hooked to see what happens. The story finishes nicely with definite romantic sentiment."
* 4.5 Kisses from Romance Divas! "Muse is a deep story that pulls the readers in due to Leigh Ellwood's fantastic storytelling and writing ability. Through Tania, readers are able to experience the ups and downs of a writer's life through the pitfalls and triumphs of her career, the horrors of writer's block and the stress of deadlines. Wesley and Tania are an amazing couple that leap off the pages. Their chemistry is wondrous and I recommend wearing gloves and having a fan nearby when reading the love scenes. Muse is a fast-paced, excellent romantic read. You will not be disappointed."

Dareville

2006-03-29T21:45:16Z

Leighellwood: /* Cast of Characters */

Dareville is a series of erotic romance novels and stories written by [[Leigh Ellwood]] for [[Phaze]]. As described on Ms. Ellwood's website:

''Dareville is more than a place...it's a sensual state of mind, proof that great passion can be found in the smallest of towns. Dareville isn't based on any town or place in particular, but it is a place I often come to where I need inspiration. You could also say it's place people visit when they want to come often.
''

The name "Dareville" is derived from the word ''dare'' as applied to erotic romance, and from the proper name Dare, which is synonymous with Virginia (Virginia Dare being the first of the settlers born in the US; Dare is a common name found in the area). Each title in the series uses the word ''dare'' in some form.

== Books and Stories in The Dareville Series ==
* [[Truth or Dare]] - 2004 ([[Phaze]])
* [[Dare Me]] - 2005 ([[Phaze]])
* Daring Young Man - 2006 ([[Phaze]])
* Double Dare - 2006 ([[Phaze]])
* Dare to Dream

== Cast of Characters ==
* Ellie Shaw - Dareville resident and elementary school teacher, Brady's love interest
* Brady Garriston - Legendary rock musician, AKA Gary Stone, Ellie's love interest and Claire's former lover
* Cal Briscoe - Studio musician, Brady's best friend and Sue's love interest
* Sue Carmichael - Professional photographer, Cal's love interest
* Lauren McKenna - Elementary school teacher, Jake's love interest
* Jake Marbury - Dareville's grocer, Lauren's love interest
* Claire Walker - NYC Lawyer, Brady's former lover and JJ's love interest
* Jake Marbury, Jr. (JJ) - Real estate agent, Jake's son and Claire's love interest

Truth or Dare]

Dare you let the truth get in the way of love? Rock and roll legend Brady Garriston is in a slump, careerwise and in his love life. He is desperate for a comeback (and a "cum" back), and finds a possible solution in masquerading in small town Dareville, where he can clear the slate and start fresh. Brady finds his muse in the lovely and uninhibited school teacher Ellie Shaw, and soon the two are making more than just beautiful music together. But will Brady's deception bring on a sour note to their relationship? And what of the secret Ellie is keeping from Brady?

* 4 Stars from RTBookClub! "Ellwood's story is warm and enjoyable. And it's nice to see that although Cal and Brady aren't young men, they are just as hot as the younger heroes romance readers are accustomed to." - Leigh Rowling

* 5 Angels from Fallen Angel Reviews: "Dare Me by Leigh Ellwood will meet and beat your expectations of an erotic read. From one lust-filled encounter to another, Dare Me takes you into a world of erotic pleasures. From the moment the story begins until the end, you are drawn into a world of lust, sex and cravings of the body. Is this a world where maybe love can beat all odds and win out?"

* 4 Dolls from Erotic Romance Reviews for Women: "'Dare Me' is a wonderful little romp of a story. It hooked me immediately with the quite humorous start of a sex tryst gone wrong. As Cal ended up jumping from a balcony to escape a brute of a boyfriend bent on test-driving him, I knew I'd enjoy this one. If you're looking for a good, light read, then this book is definitely for you." - Kay Derwydd

* 4 Cups from Coffee Time Romance: "Cal and Sue are enchanting characters who fit together very well. Their relationship progresses at a realistic pace. The sensual tension between them crackles with almost visible energy. The sex scenes are hot enough to send a reader's intimate lingerie up in flames. Brady and Ellie are terrific supporting characters who add a lot of zip to the story. The plot line is intriguing and kept my eyes riveted to the pages."

* 4 Ribbons from Romance Junkies: "Ellwood's heroes are tender and tough, as well as blatantly sexual and unafraid to indulge in anything that will bring them and their partners pleasure, making DARE ME a truly erotic and romantic read!"

* 4 Stars from May Reviews: "The characters are active and the storyline interesting and the flow is smooth. The author leaves us with the brewing of a new plot if she wishes to indulge or with a satisfactory ending if she doesn't. Lots of hot sex..." Polly

* 5 Stars from May Reviews: "Ms. Ellwood has written a scorcher of a romance. Sexy! Sizzling! Hot! All can be said about this book. A must read for Ms Ellwood fans and those who can't get enough of hot steamy romances! This was a book I could not put down from the comedic beginning thru the hot sex scenes to the exploding end. I for one am hoping for a follow up story." Christy - Reviewer for MayReviews.com

* "With strong characters and a good storyline, the reader will have an erotic ride with the upheavals of romance to add to this tasty morsel of a tale." - TCM Reviews
