The Big Love Letter Event + Giveaway: Wendy Higgins

Today marks the first day of The Big Love Letter Event, a joint month-long feature hosted by Danny from Bewitched Bookworms and myself, and I hope you guys are all as excited as we are!

I'm beyond thrilled to kick things off with one of my very favorite authors and someone I'm proud to call friend, Wendy Higgins. I picked Sweet Evil up a couple years ago and found myself completely blown away by the story and its characters, but let's face it, lover of swoon-worthy boys that I am, Kaidan Rowe was the highlight for me. He continued to be so in last year's Sweet Peril, and I may or may not have worn a path in my floor as I've paced waiting for his return once again in Sweet Reckoning.

Wendy took pity on me though and has oh-so graciously allowed Kaidan to stop by the blog today to share with us a little special something to help tide me (and everyone else who loves him desperately) over until April. Kaidan was asked to write a love letter, but given his love of music he decided to write his letter in the form of song lyrics. Lyrics I like to think were written with me in mind. Delusional, party of one ;-)

I know you're all here for Kaidan so I'll stop the gushing and get to the sharing, but after you read (and drool), be sure and check out all the details on a fantastic giveaway and don't forget to hop over to Bewitched Bookworms to check out their featured letter from Katie McGarry!

And now I give you Kaidan Rowe, drummer for Lascivious, son of the Duke of Lust, and fictional boyfriend extraordinaire:

LOVE LETTER by Kaidan Rowe

Staring at this paper
Trying to write a “love letter.”
This is not my thing,
This is just not me.
My mind turns instead
To a wicked beat in my head,
And I bang out the lyrics to a song.
Yeah, I bang out the lyrics to a song.

You’re soft to my hard,
You’re sweet to my salt.
If we both wind up naked
It’ll all be my fault.
Yeah, I’ll take the blame,
That’s it, say my name.
You’re gorgeous, so gorgeous,
Let me win at this game.

CHORUS:
Gimme, gimme, gimme,
I’m Greed when you’re near.
I want more, I need more,
Stay the f**k away, fear.
Heat me, scald me, burn me,
I’m Lust for your touch.
You kill me with a smile
And I refuse to be rushed.

How’s this for a love note?
Do my words quake your boat?
If not, I’ll need to try harder
Take things a little bit farther.
You bet your ass I can do that,
Raise the bar, sexy little cat.
So step closer to me and turn up the AC.
I’ll have you singin’ the chorus in 1, 2, 3…

CHORUS

Roses are red and violets are blue,
That played out sh*t wasn’t meant for you.
I got your love letter right here in my eyes.
If you look long enough you’ll see the truth through the lies.

* Sorry about that everyone, I couldn't form actual words there for a few minutes. Ahem. Thanks so much Kaidan, I can now no longer concentrate on work. *runs away to re-read Sweet Evil and Sweet Peril instead*

SWEET RECKONING
(releases April 29th from HarperTeen)

It’s time.

Evil is running rampant and sweet Anna Whitt is its target. Nobody knows when or how the Dukes will strike, but Anna and her Nephilim allies will do anything necessary to rid the earth of the demons and their oppressive ways.

The stakes are higher than ever, and Anna is determined that the love she feels will be her strength, not a liability. But trying to protect the ones she loves while running for her life and battling demonic forces proves to be perilous—especially as faces are changing and trust is fleeting. When the Duke of Lust sends Anna’s great love, Kaidan Rowe, to work against her, Anna must decide how much she’s prepared to risk.

In the most sensual and fast-paced installment yet, Sweet Reckoning brings all the beloved Neph together one last time to fight for their freedom.
