On the 3rd Day of Blogmas We Have Gena Showalter
Dec 11, 2009
So since she is one of my favorite authors, i thought for today i would share my fav. books by her, with a little info from the back of the book!! So sit back, and welcome to the Showalter World !!!
Gena Showalter is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Paranormal Romance, Contemporary Romance, and Young Adult novels from a multitude of publishers. She has appeared in Cosmo and Seventeen magazines, on MTV, and has also been featured on many regional and national news programs.
Gena credits much of her success to her wonderful fans, amazing family, and the three slobbery English bulldogs who sleep under her desk. She is a self proclaimed coffee addict and when she’s not writing she likes to…well, we’re not sure. We’ve never seen her do anything but write.
Gena and her beloved bulldogs
Gena's Books
LORDS OF THE UNDERWORLD
He is the guardian of hell, more monster than man. She is the goddess of oppression, more angel than woman. Together they will enter the flames to battle a dangerous horde of demon lords — and discover a passion unlike any other….Don’t miss this sizzling prequel to Gena Showalter’s breathtaking new paranormal series, The Lords of the Underworld! Though they carry an eternal curse, the Lords of the Underworld are irresistibly seductive — and unimaginably powerful….
She has tempted many men… but never found her equal.
Until now.
Though she has lived for centuries, Anya, goddess of anarchy, has never known pleasure. Until Lucien, the incarnation of death—a warrior eternally doomed to take souls to the hereafter. He draws her like no other. And Anya will risk anything to have him.
But when the merciless Lord of the Underworld is ordered by the gods to claim Anya herself, their uncontrollable attraction becomes an anguished pursuit. Now they must defeat the unconquerable forces that control them, before their thirst for one another demands a sacrifice of love beyond imagining.…
His powers — Inhuman
His passion — Beyond immortal . . .
All her life, Ashlyn Darrow has been tormented by voices from the past. To end the nightmare, she has come to Budapest seeking help from men rumored to have supernatural abilities, not knowing she’ll be swept into the arms of Maddox, their most dangerous member — a man trapped in a hell of his own.
Neither can resist the instant hunger than calms their torments . . . and ignites an irresistible passion. But every heated touch and burning kiss will edge them closer to destruction — and a soul-shattering test of love . . .
Reyes is a man possessed. Bound by the demon of pain, he is forbidden to know pleasure. Yet he craves a mortal woman, Danika Ford, more than breath and will do anything to claim her—even defy the gods.
Danika is on the run. For months she’s eluded the Lords of the Underworld, immortal warriors who won’t rest until she and her family have been destroyed. But her dreams are haunted by Reyes, the warrior whose searing touch she can’t forget. Yet a future together could mean death to all they both hold dear.…
Passion and danger collide in this brand-new Lords of the Underwold eBook exclusive adventure.
Once, Atlas, the Titan God of Strength, was Nike’s slave. Now, he is her master! Soon these long-time enemies destined to destroy one another will be forced to risk everything for a chance at love…
He is the keeper of Doubt and his entire world’s about to be rocked.
Bound by the demon of doubt, Sabin unintentionally destroys even the most confident of lovers. So the immortal warrior spends his time on the battlefield instead of the bedroom, victory his only concern…until he meets Gwendolyn the Timid. One taste of the beautiful redhead, and he craves more.
Gwen, an immortal herself, always thought she’d fall for a kind human who wouldn’t rouse her darker side. But when Sabin frees her from prison, battling their enemies for the claim to Pandora’s box turns out to be nothing compared to the battle Sabin and Gwen will wage against love…The Darkest Fire, The Darkest Prison, and The Amazon’s Curse are currently only available as eBooks. These can be read on the popular Kindle or any other “reader” as well as in pdf, Microsoft and other formats. These books are too short to be books on their own, but will be coming out together in one book (with bonus LOTU material) in the future (May 2010, Into the Dark).
ATLANTIS SERIES
He is Layel, king of the vampires, a master seducer no woman can deny. But since a rogue horde of dragons killed his beloved over two centuries ago, Layel has existed only for vengeance…until he meets Delilah. Wary of love, the beautiful Amazon wants nothing to do with the tormented vampire. Yet there s no denying their consuming desire every time he nears her.
Neither trusts the other nor can they survive alone. For in an impossible game of the gods devising, they ve been trapped on an island, about to face the ultimate challenge: surrender to the passion that will bind them forever…or be doomed to an eternity apart.
Enter a mythical world of dragons, demons and Nymphs…enter a world of dark seduction and powerful magic…enter Atlantis…
He is Valerian, the most darkly seductive male ever created. He embraces every aspect of his sensuality, reveling in his erotic powers. No woman can resist his potent allure. . .until he steals cynical Shaye Holling from modern day earth. Valerian’s hunger for Shaye is soul deep – but she is to be offered up to his men…
While Shaye claims to want nothing to do with the mighty warlord whose touch is like fire, she is inexplicably drawn to him. For underneath the warrior’s arrogant beauty lies a complex and powerful man. A man she is finding hard to resist…
All Atlantis seeks the Jewel of Dunamis, which legend claims can overcome any enemy. Grayson James, human agent of the ultra-secret Otherworld Bureau of Investigation, has orders to keep it from the wrong hands — or destroy it. What he doesn’t know is that Jewel is a woman, not a stone! But once he meets this precious gem, destroying her is the last thing on his mind . .
Jewel, part goddess, part prophet, is a pawn in Atlantis’s constant power struggles. She needs Gray’s help to win freedom and uncover the secrets of her mysterious origins. Gray needs her wisdom to navigate monster-ridden Atlantis. But need blossoms into passionate love as they fight demons, dragons, vampires — and a prophecy that says the bond between them could destroy them both.
Grace Carlyle’s world was about to change . . .
Deep in the jungle on the trail of her missing brother, Grace never expected to find a secret world populated by mythological monsters — nor guarded by a sword-wielding being whose beauty put mortal men to shame.
Darius en Kragin belongs to a race of shape-shifting warriors sworn to guard Atlantis and kill all travelers who stray within its boundaries. Yet when Grace stumbles into his realm, he finds himself tempted to betray his centuries-old vow.
Now their forbidden love will either bring their worlds together — or tear them both apart.

I so love Gena's books! I'm a total fangirl!
My absolute favorite is Playing with Fire and I can't wait for January to finally get book 2 Twice as Hot!
I so love this one cuz it is funny, witty and so sexy. Rome is just yummy!
Still in Germany!
Hey JoJo! I love Gena's books as well. It's hard to narrow down to a favorite because they are so all so damn good! But if I had to pick one it would be Seduce The Darkness. I love Devyn! The book was sexy as hell. I can't wait for all her new releases in 2010!
I'm dying for Paris's story from her Lord of the Underworld books. Also, the woman is a writing machine. 6 books published last year? Whoa.
I haven't read any of Gena Showalter's books yet, so I don't have a favorite ;) But I have Heart of the Dragon and The Darkest Whisper waiting on my TBR shelf.
I'm doing all the following and still in the Netherlands.
:)
Janna
I'm a huge huge fan of hers as well!! My favorite books are Darkest pleasure..for some reason I can't get Reyes out of my head..or imagination ; )
Deep Kiss of Winter anthology with Breean and Aleah (sp?)
Also Darkets Whisper with Gwen and Sabin BC I just loved the plot. And Sabin of course!
Thanks for the chance to win a book!!!
I'm also dying for Paris's story but here's my favorites.
The Darkest Kiss. I loved Lucien and Anya's story.
Some of my other favorites are, The Stone Prince and Intertwined.
I've got Deep Kiss of Winter waiting for me to read it. I love me some Kresley Cole too.
How to choose? Since I just read "Deep Kiss of Winter," I'll go with that as my favorite. Thanks for the contest.
I've just read The Darkest Kiss and Heart of the Dragon, but I'm dying to read the others (when I have time on Christmas), they seem so good!
Living in Spain ;D

I love all of Gena's books, but I think my favorites are the lords of the underworld series. But I really do love all of Gena's books.
Right now am in the middle of "The Darkest Whisper" and loving it like all the Lords Of The Underworld books. My Favorite so far is 'The Darkest Kiss", Lucien and Anya's story because she is so fun and he was so stern and forbidding until true love conquered all, sigh....

Gena Showalter is one of the best writters. LOTU is my favorite series. I live in the USA.
I love Playing with Fire! I can't wait for the second book, Rome's so yummy! lol
OMG!! I just read Susi's comment.. SAME thing I thought! LOL No wonder she's awesome. ;)
love Gena! I discovered her on a humbug at the library and by page 2 of Maddox's story she became my favorite author.
I've not yet read the Atlantis series (Im buying all the books first, but I buy the Lords first so...), but I LOVE the Lords.
The Darkest Whisper is my favorite because I just adored Sabine. I also liked who we got to see the other Lords in this book and I can't wait for Paris's book. Or Gideon's or ...

I'm currently reading Heart Of Darkness (anthology) and Gena's contribution, The Darkest Angel was awesome!!

Sorry, computer malfunction last night so I am posting now. Hope that doesn't disqualify me :( I haven't had the opportunity to read Gena's work yet but I am getting there. So many books (authors) so little time!!! She is one of my daughter's favs! I am following Gena on Twitter and I of course follow JoJo on Twitter and her Blog. This has really been fun JoJo and I've found a whole new reading arena!!! Thanks :)
I loooooooooove Gena Showalter!!!! The first book I read from her was Catch a Mate. My friend had read the book and she told me that while she was reading the book, that she kept thinking of me like the female lead. So, obviously, my curiosity got the better of me and I read it. It was so cute!
Then I started reading her Lords books, and I fell in LOVE!!!! I love all of the boys, and Maddox makes me lawl. ^__^ I can't wait to read about the others XD.
I'm torn between Savor Me Slowly and The Darkest Kiss. I love them both!
I already follow both Gena and you on Twitter.
Hope you have a great weekend and this contest rocks my world. I absolutely love Gena's books!
I love Gena!
I am reading the Underworld series now and its great :)
I love Playing with fire and The Pleasure Slave! They are s sexy, and I'm not anly talking about the books =)
Btw, I'm from Spain!
Hey there..let me see ...I don't think I could choose just one but I would say Catch a Mate and The Darkest Night would be a tie.I can't wait for the new book.
higginsclan@tampabay.rr.om
I'm not sure I can pick one single book of Gena's as a favorite. I've loved all her paranormal romances so far. She's a phenomenal author. She's so talented at reeling you in and then you never want to leave :) But I do love her newest book, Darkest Whisper. Darkest Prison wasn't too shabby either.
I live in the U.S.

My Favorite Gena Book was hands down the Darkest Pleasure. I love Reyes and his quite way and how his pain and pleasure mixed to make his struggle with both the demon and his love believable. Her next best book would be Catch a Mate and the wit and reality of the book make such a great contrast to the paranormal. Coming in a close third would be Savor me Slowly. Loved L'Ace and her feelings about herself and her sacrificing nature to save others. GENA ROCKS. Karia from Canada
