Today we have Siren author Tammy Dennings Maggy on my blog. Tammy has very graciously offered 2 of her e-books as a prize, so read on to find out how to enter.
Thank you for having me today, Jan! I’ve had a wonderful time on my virtual book tour and would love to celebrate. I’ll be giving away an e-book copy of my new release The Island (Now and Forever 2) as well as an e-book copy of my book of poetry Follow Me: Poetry From the Heart and Soul. The journey that Quinn and Jacob had to go through to find one another closely parallels what is told through the poems. Makes sense when you find out I wrote most of the poems at the same time I was finishing up the first book in the series.
The Island is actually a prequel. It takes us back to a point ten years before book one. Both Quinn and Jacob are at crossroads in their lives. They’ve been through devastating and heartbreaking losses. This is the most pivotal point for them and their foretold destinies. Jacob is actually on death’s door and has to decide if he wants to go on or give up on life all together. Quinn is so lost in her grief from the death of her brother that she’s ready to give up altogether. It’s on the tropical paradise where their hearts and souls can finally mend. It’s the place where they are given the most precious gift from the Gods…the chance to find their happily ever after long before they actually meet back in the Earth Realm. Will they listen to their hearts or will they let their doubts take over and pull them tear them apart once again?
I chose a poem that I thought summed up their journey very well. It’s one that portrayed my own search for my happily ever after. I hope you enjoy it.
Follow Your Heart
When you feel lost and alone,
With nowhere to turn,
If your soul aches with a need
To be loved so great,
Look inside to the beacon
That forever burns.
Follow your heart to the one
Bound solely to you
Through Lady Fate.
You may get lost in the journey
To find true love.
You may wish
To give up all hope.
Instead open your mind
To the Goddess Above.
Follow your heart to find
The only one who can help you cope.
Many loves will come and go
Bringing joy and yes
Bringing sorrow.
Don’t be afraid.
Let your love light shine.
Give of yourself as if
There will be no tomorrow.
Follow your heart
To the one it yearns for,
The one with the Love that Binds.
Darkness will surround you,
Threatening your inner peace.
Meet the Shadows head on,
Without fear.
For the Lady Fate has armed you
With all you need.
Follow your heart,
And you will find the way
Has now become crystal clear.
The one you’ve been bound to
Through each and every life,
Will themselves be finding
Their way back to you.
Both have come through it all,
Through every joy and strife.
Follow your hearts.
They can no longer be denied.
Follow your hearts.
Together you can begin
Life and love anew.

Such a beautiful poem Tammy, thank you for sharing it with us. Readers, don’t forget anyone entering the competition has a chance to win an e-book of Tammy’s poetry ~ Follow Me: Poetry From the Heart and Soul
Blurb: The Island
After losing her brother in a fatal motorcycle accident, Quinn’s life spins out of control. Shutting herself off from friends and family in Michigan, she buries herself in her work, wishing for the pain to end. In her dreams she’s finally able to find the peace her heart craves on The Island.
Driven to recklessness over a heartbreaking betrayal, Jacob races his motorcycle on a rain slick California freeway. Near death in the hospital, he’s given a choice. Stay on The Island or go back for a second chance at love.
Destined to be together, but repeatedly torn apart, these two lost and melancholy people draw the attention of the Goddess Fate. As Quinn and Jacob’s lives hang in limbo, the soul mates are given a very special gift from the Gods, and the chance to finally have their love of a lifetime.
Adult Excerpt from The Island
The catch in her voice nearly broke his heart. The raw passion was there. Her body given freely to him, and yet she still questioned his desire for her. He knew that pain all too well. Here with Quinn though, it all faded away. She did that for him and he wanted so badly to do the same for her. He wiped away the tears that spilled onto her flushed face. He kissed her softly and held her close. “I want you, now and for however long we can be together. I need to be with you. I won’t stop as long as you want the same.”
Quinn slid off his lap and knelt up on the bed, pulling him up with her. She held his gaze as her fingers unfastened his shorts and then slid them down over his hips. Jacob quickly took off his tank top before crushing Quinn’s chest against his. She smiled and his heart beat quickened. “I need you, too. Make love with me, Jake.”
He slid out of his shorts as Quinn eased back onto the pillows. Jacob took in her entire sun-kissed body, naked before him. God, she’s so beautiful. Quinn welcomed him into her arms as he joined her on the pillows, his mouth finding her left nipple this time as his right hand trailed down her stomach.
She arched her back and moaned as soon as his fingers found her throbbing clit. Another wave of fluid gushed out of her and over his fingers. Jacob brought them up to his mouth to taste her. “Mmmm. You taste fucking fantastic. Your sister was right. Wanna try?”
Quinn giggled and licked his fingers clean. That move sent his body over the edge. His cock was bouncing with his need for her, a fact that didn’t go unnoticed by his lover. She reached inside the nightstand for the box of condoms, spilling several over the bed. Jacob smiled as he placed one in her open palm. Quinn slid her hands down his abs to his pulsing member. She wrapped her fingers around his shaft and squeezed a little, eliciting a gasp from him. Carefully she tore open the wrapper with her teeth and quickly covered his cock with the ribbed latex sheath. He thrust his hips forward, causing her hand to slide up and down his shaft. “Oh, now who’s teasing?” Jacob moaned.
He eased Quinn all the way back onto the pillows, and slid down her body toward his prize. He wanted more than just a taste. He wanted to feast on her cunt until she begged for him to take her. He positioned himself between her thighs and looked up to see her watching him, her chest rising and falling rapidly. He winked before popping her clit into his mouth and sucking hard. Quinn nearly bucked him off but he held her hips in place, enjoying her squirming and sighs. It wasn’t long at all before he was rewarded once again with her sweet nectar.
He teased her a bit more with his tongue and then slipped one, two and then three fingers inside of her hot folds. Her pussy clenched repeatedly over his fingers and her body convulsed over and over again. Quinn’s skin flushed from her tits to her toes, because of him, because of what he was doing to her. He wanted more, so much more. He couldn’t wait any longer. He wanted to bury his cock deep inside her, go over the edge, and never come back.

It was my pleasure! I love sharing my poetry along with my erotic romances. Several of them have inspired the next books in this series and one in particular has inspired a separate series I'll write as my alter ego Lia Michaels.
Love it!!!!
