About "Three Kinds of Wicked"
http://threekindsofwicked.com/index.html
Trey, a time-striding demigod, spends his life skipping through the human timeline and reuniting couples torn apart by evil forces. Sworn to chastity, sworn to protect those he serves, Trey's own desires must never be expressed.
But on a mission to the Summer of Love, Trey meets Sage, a free spirit with a broken heart, and Russ, a scarred POW with a broken mind. His mission is to reunite Sage and Russ. But passion claims them, and their love triggers a destruction and chaos unmatched by any evil. By rights, Trey should be executed for breaking his vows.
Instead, he is sentenced to a new kind of servitude. With his chastity no longer an issue, he must find broken human couples and heal them sexually. Only after healing these broken bonds of love will Trey heal the broken human timeline. Only after reuniting these predestined pairs through his physical love will Trey be reunited with Sage.
Watch each month for a new "Three Kinds of Wicked" release, starting in July 2009, from Red Sage Publishing. The first story in the series, "Wicked Temptation," unleashes the dangerous passion between Trey, Sage, and Russ. Each following stand-alone story explores Trey's efforts to physically reunite another couple in the preordained human timeline. The series ends with "Wicked Redemption," the companion to "Wicked Temptation," which brings Trey, Russ, and Sage together again.
WICKED TEMPTATION Three Kinds of Wicked EXCERPT
Gods, Sage was so beautiful to him. Trey’s thumb brushed the curve of her lower lip. His lips brushed the arc of her brow. Settling his chin on her head, he held her close, inhaled her fragrance. His hand smoothed a trail to the small of her back until it rested on the swell of her ass. He pulled her hard against him.
Her hands threaded through his hair, needy. When he raised his head again, the raw emotion on her face clutched his heart. He’d never been loved before. Had never been in love. But he was now. And at least for this moment, he knew she loved him, too.
It was more than he ever dared pray for.
Her fingers sang with magic as they settled on his chest, rode the ridges of his belly to the waistband of his jeans. His fading powers trembled in response. She tugged on his pants until they crumpled on the planks beneath their feet. Her pelvis tipped so her mons rode his thigh. Her curls were buttered silk.
The coverlet she wore fell to the porch. His gaze followed. Her body was tight, her breasts pert swells. He hoped she didn’t see his hands shaking as he cupped each one. She loosed a shuddering sigh. Her head fell back as taut nipples kissed his palms. A groan snared in his throat as he bent to nip the arch of her neck.
Her fluids trickled down his thigh.
When he raised his head, her gaze followed. Her hair ruffled, flames in the breeze. Her eyes had gone bronze with desire, as if she suspected what he was about to ask her to help him do. “Help me heal him.”
“How?” Her voice was a breathless pant. Her chest heaved beneath his palms. His heart pounded so hard he thought it might leap from his chest. He angled his head over hers. Her lips parted on a sigh.
“Make some magic with me.” To insure she knew what he meant, he painted her mind with the image of what he wanted her—the three of them—to do.
Her breath caught, but she did not flinch. Her lids lowered. Auburn lashes kissed her cheekbones with flame. “Kiss me, Trey.”
A whimper caught in her throat as his mouth dropped over hers. When their lips touched, her tongue was already probing his lips, demanding entrance. Softening his jaw, she sighed into the kiss. Her tongue dueled with his, a hungry battle for power. Her magic wound through him, searching for the fading remnants of his. It flared with a welcome spark of renewal.
The power in her was stronger than any he’d ever encountered. In the distance, thunder rumbled in agreement. Or was that only the roar of his blood rushing in his ears?
He pulled her flat to him. Her tongue traced the vein that throbbed on the side of his neck. His hands settled beneath her ass, fingers curled in her tight crevice. He lifted her up. Slender legs tethered his waist. As her arms wound around his neck, he stepped forward, bracing her back against the wood siding.
Small teeth nipped his earlobe. His fingertip teased her bottom hole. The scalding pain of her bites bolted straight through to his cock. Magic spun in his core. Wriggling hips mapped his length. Her silky fluids heated his tip, fragrant temptation. He’d never felt a woman so wet in his life.
Description: Beyond the bounds of pleasure, a single chance for redemption…
Trey, a demigod, is sworn to guard the fates of human couples on whose relationships hinge the course of history. Over the eons, his affection for mortals has left him yearning for the one thing he can never have—a heart mate to call his own. When a ruthless goddess resorts to an aphrodisiac to force him to break his vow of chastity, his heart is instead claimed by the mortal woman who is destined to help her human lover save the world. Can a ménage possibly help him undo the damage he’s done?
To My Readers: What happens when a group of erotic romance authors decide to develop scorching hot series that provides the drama and high emotion our readers depend on? Red Sage’s ultra hot new ménage series, Three Kinds of Wicked, that’s what.
The author blew me away with the complexity of her storyline, intertwining the fates of the humans with that of the machinations of the gods.
Trey, a demi-god time strider, was tasked to unite the pre-ordained human couples so that the evil minions could no longer tamper with the destiny that the gods had for them. For that, he should remain celibate, and finally, he was down to his last couple. If he should succeed, he would be granted full god status. The goddess Diadra, thwarted in her previous attempts to seduce Trey, colluded with an evil minion Malifor to bring down Trey, so that he would serve her forever as a sex slave.
Trey barely got away, but not without repercussions. In his last mission, he fell in love with Sage and broke his vows, and the result was something he'd never envisioned. I like that he's strong-willed and he has honor, and in the end, he fell only because he was also drugged by Diadra. Would he have fallen for Sage without the drug? Am not sure, but I sure hope so! Certainly, he was drawn to Sage and he desired her like he'd never desired any woman before, not even Diadra, the goddess of sensual arts.
Sage though has her own problems. She got the boy--now a man--she loved back from the war, but though his body is with her, he is not the same as he was damaged from his experiences on the battlefield. She would need Trey's help to save Russ, and in so doing, she would probably lose Trey forever. A strong woman who knew what she wanted and employed every skill she had to get it. Perhaps this strength was the reason Trey was so drawn to her. Certainly, the resulting menage between them, together with Russ, was scorchingly hot and moving, which makes the subsequent leavetaking all the more heartwrenching, especially on Trey's part, when I think of all that he'd given up for the woman he loved.
Fortunately, it doesn't end here! We have the conclusion to the series, Trinity, which also reunites our three beloved main characters together. I can't wait to read it, and as it happens, I didn't need to, for it's now out at Red Sage Publishing.

Melissa’s Review: Wicked Temptation by Liane Gentry Skye is the first book in the Three Kinds of Wicked multi-author series. The entire premise behind this series is intriguing. Can love really conquer all?
I was immediately drawn in by Ms. Skye’s captivating writing voice, because it demanded my undivided attention. Then the emotional roller coaster began and I was lost to this book. Wicked Temptation may be scorching hot with passion, but it is about so much more. The emotions ranged from devastating to exhilarating and everywhere in between.
Ms. Skye did not skimp on hot sex, but neither did she skimp on character and plot development. Trey is a compelling character in his own right. Pair him up with Sage and Russ, and you have one heck of a powerful trio. I was in awe of these three characters, and they are merely the main characters. The short line up of secondary characters is just as intriguing.
This is my first experience with Liane Gentry Skye, and I now know that I have found a new author to read. I am looking forward to delving deeper not only into Ms. Skye’s work, but also the other Three Kinds of Wicked books.

Wicked Temptation by Liane Gentry Skye
4.5 STARS!!!
Wicked Temptation is an interesting story. The depths of emotion are profound, even drawing attention away from the explosive sex scenes. The characters are intriguing and complex, which is true of so few stories as erotic as this one. And the idea that love really can conquer all, while it may sound cheesy, is utilized in such a beautifully unique and refreshing way— through devotion that can extend beyond two people— it’s hard not to feel an emotional attachment to this story.
