Shawna Moore's Blurbs |
About me:
Writing has always been a passion of mine. Throughout my childhood and college days, I kept journals where I indulged my love of creating fictional characters and fantasy worlds. In January of 2001, my dream of becoming a full-time author of romance and women's fiction became reality. Since that time, I've been published by various small presses. In 2007, another of my dreams came true when I signed a contract with Ellora's Cave. When I'm not writing, I enjoy cyber chats with my author friends and readers. Long walks provide inspiration and are a great way of working out plotting problems and plot twists.
Note to my readers and visitors: The external links I've provided in the informational sections on this page lead to actual publisher and professional websites.

Hellé is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't...
The Devil’s daughter survives a battle with ball lightening and learns her days in Sin City are numbered unless she consumes a precious mineral found only in Hell—the Hell from which she’s been banished.
Three men compete for Hellé’s attention. The first evildoer controls much of Vegas’ development and vows to destroy her. A second rogue as powerful as Satan hopes to dominate her. The third, an irresistible Greek fisherman, wants her until death parts them.

TORMENTED is now available at Ellora's Cave.
A winsome Boston socialite—Eve Morneau—falls victim to a venomous beetle’s bite. Her healing and sexual awakening are placed in the hands of a New Orleans physician, Charles Galletiére, whose unconventional means of curing her malady lend themselves to unbridled passion and abandonment of her former ways of life. Immortality comes at a cost to the innocent woman, and her Christian soul might be left hanging in the balance.© Shawna Moore

Reviews for TORMENTED
"Recommended--Very Interesting Read" from Alternative-Reads.com--"A vampire tale with a twist not often employed, this one was a mix of complex characters, with perhaps Charles the most complex of all...I quite enjoyed following the journey each of them took as they grew from individuals into a pair and can recommend this one as a very interesting read." WitchGiggles, Alternative-Reads.com
A "MUST READ" from Dark Angel Reviews--"Shawna Moore has written a captivating tale with TORMENTED. The plot moves forward at a steady pace, but it is Moore’s writing that makes this book stand out from the pack. She has a talent for finding fresh ways to use language more akin to poetry than prose. Clouds snuggle, curtains greet carpets, kisses are caught and a blink can decant tears. Her writing possesses an almost languid feel, which is a wonderful contrast to the intense feelings of her characters.
Moore has drawn her characters well, developing Eve’s conflict between Christian beliefs and her love of Charles. She questions how an orgasm, which feels so good and freeing, could be wrong. At the same time, she is forced to recognize those around her may not be quite as they seem. In essence, the reader takes part in her metamorphosis alongside her. Moore has also created an interesting and diverse supporting cast."
TORMENTED should be a must read for readers in search of titillation as well as an appreciation of language. You can almost imagine yourself as Eve as she grows and comes out of her shell. I look forward to reading more of Moore’s books." Saoirse, Dark Angel Reviews
I’ve read all your books but this one is my favorite. I enjoyed the way Charles was faced with the need to tend Eve medically while also having to fight back his sexual urges at times so she wouldn’t suffer. Their love scenes were so hot and intense. He’s a great hero and I hope you write more stories with Charles and Eve. Jasmina, a reader
Can you find a man like Charles for me? Just kidding, but this doctor made for a perfect vampire hero. He’s a wonderful combination of sexy and smoldering, and you made him and Eve come alive for me as I read this romance. Your portrayal of the characters’ emotions and their erotic moments played out well. Very believable. I particularly enjoyed the way this story was written. You’ve a talent for making words and descriptions magical. Laura, a reader

Reviews for ROUGHRIDER
"I almost crave cowboy stories. There is something rugged and intense about the men who come from this life style. I enjoyed reading about Jack's life and the way he is dominant in all he does, not just life on the ranch but with Kimberly as well. The fact that he can be tender and caring also worked to keep my interest in Roughrider. I was brought into the grip of the story when Kimberly discovered the dangers that are going to affect Jack. Unfortunately, they have already
taken over his mother's life, even though she seems oblivious to what's going on under her nose.
In the meantime the sexual heat that is between Kimberly and Jack just burns up the pages and makes the story come together. Their sexual encounters made me squirm in my seat. The story made me crave the way that they became so intertwined that you just know that nothing will destroy what they have together, not even the vial goings on from the man courting Jacks mother.
The threat to Kimberly becomes tangible as Roughrider continues, to protect what he wants most in his life. Jack shows what he is made of. Roughrider is an interesting and very full story that feels like it's coming to life as you read it. If you like gritty stories with full intrigue and action, then you will enjoy Roughrider." Judy King, Erotic Escapades
"Roughrider is packed full of some of the hottest sex I’ve read in a long time. From the beginning of page one, I was pulled into the story and was riveted to the end. Kim isn’t shy about what she wants and she also speaks her mind. Jack is heaven on earth, and built for sex. He doesn’t mince words either. Shawna Moore has written a truly gripping tale of love, hardship and intrigue. You don’t want to miss this very erotic and get your panties wet book." Julianne, TwoLips Reviews
Intense, sensual and raw, Roughrider tells a unique story. Kimberly has been hot for Jack for years and has decided the time is now for them to get it on. She is ready for whatever he has to offer. The sex is racy and red-hot. Extremely steamy and lustful, this couple knows how to have fun. Jack is long, lean, sexy, and exactly what I imagined a Roughrider to be. If you like cowboys, you will like this one. The danger in the story adds the right amount of edginess to ensure a unique storyline. Ms. Moore has penned a sexy piece of work. Dawnie, Fallen Angel Reviews
"HOT! Love Jack and how he's deciding to give romance with Kim a chance. Hope you write more stories like this one." Jackie, reader
I really enjoyed Roughrider. Must try that scene in the woods with my boyfriend sometime. Thanks for writing this story, Shawna!" Paula N., Reader
"ROUGHRIDER states just that in this story. Jack is every woman’s fantasy and will have women all over jealous that Kim gets to keep him. I like the loyalty between the two main characters, which is consistent throughout the story no matter what plot twists and turns happen. Ms. Moore did an excellent job creating this wonderful cowboy tale, pinning it with originality and a unique writing style. I enjoyed reading this sizzling tale." Lacey, Romance Junkies

REVIEWS for HELLE IN HEELS
"Author Shawna Moore writes an exceptionally told story of the Devil’s daughter, Helle who is forced to addict from Hell and leave all her loves behind. With the determination of giving pleasure to the men of Sin City, Helle is about to storm earth and captivates the male species with her minions.
A delightfully carnal story of a woman from hell who is forced to stay on Earth or all is lost. Helle is a delightful character who is strong willed, passionate and smart. With a quick stroke of her pen, Ms. Moore weaves her spell around the reader as Helle and her minions set out to enchant the men of Sin City and deliver some wildly sensual exploits. With each breath this reviewer was hoping the fan stayed on high and the AC cooled things off. This is one author who can definitely heat things up a notch and keep the flame burning hotter than ever. With each page this reviewer was amazed at the sensual passion that was always one step from an inferno. If you enjoy a hot story to heat things up, grab HELLE IN HEELS and be carried away on this highly erotic story that will have you looking at the dynamics of Hell differently." Dawn, Love Romances and More
"Shawna Moore tells a funny and very erotic story that will make you laugh at Hellé’s antics and squirm at the brazen hussy and her female posse. Hellé in Heels is a wonderful spoof of what Satan's daughter could have been like had he fathered one as she shows her wit and knowledge of designer fashions that must rival any fashionista. This book was a true joy to read." Alisha, TwoLips Reviews
"Hellé in Heels lives up to its title. It is a well-written, fun story with an erotic twist. The eroticism is daring and wild, but you will also definitely be left with a strong desire to go shopping. Hmmmm...I can feel that Rolex watch on my wrist or a beautiful Kate Spade purse on my shoulder." - Cherie Fisher, Reader Views
I really loved this story. Hope Helle has more stories out soon. Stone Pony, Reader
From the beginning, I was right there with Helle. You did a wonderful job on her character. Sure would have hated leaving Menlikus behind but I'm glad you brought them back together. Have you planned more books featuring Helle and Menlikus? If not, please do. This story had a great balance with the steamy sex and Helle's journey. Barbara, Reader
Recently I read Helle in Heels. Even my husband enjoyed the honest way you portrayed the sex scenes. We read some of the story together in bed. Definitely got us in the mood to have our own fun between the sheets. Thanks for such an excellent book. Can't wait to read more of your work. J.E., Reader
"Demons, sex toys, devil and the immortal all come in one in this decadent book by Shawna Moore making you wonder what goes on in this author's head when she creates books. Hellé is not your usual daughter, and I liked that even though others saw her as a sexual, desirable and wild person this woman had some issues. She knows that people think that she can go from one guy to another without feelings yet she is feeling something she never thought of before. Love. Shawna Moore did a great job in such a short story to make you see that even though she's the devil's daughter, Hellé has a somewhat caring side in her that she keeps secret at all times from others around her. I loved the whole story of sex at your beck and call; it will make you wonder why Hellé would want to be with just one guy when there are guys willing to have sex with her without any questions. Great job to Shawna Moore." - Lena C., FAR
