Blub must be 130 words or less, including title and author name. Must be HOT to match the book. Must be TRUE to the story. - grin-
Below is what I'm working on for ASK FOR IT. Currently 132 words!
First, is it HOT? Would you want to read book after reading this? Second, what two words can be cut??
Ask For It
Gail Faulkner
Five years ago Sahara refused Tor in favor of her late husband. Widow of a warrior, she is out of reach. Goddess help him, this hunger drives males to fight nations for the right to one woman. Need strips his soul to the savage core.
Surprised she is in his audience hall, she finally comes to him with a problem. Not as humanoid as she looks, Sahara is out of time in a very intimate way.
Getting her beneath him reopens Leonor’s violent past, he’s good with that. In his arms she is safe to surrender as her nature demands.
What he will not allow is her sacrifice to protect his world. The future bought in blood will be theirs, even if it’s his blood purchasing it.

OK, I've never written a blurb, but I do have to write position papers for senior management (who totally do NOT understand what I do) in my job, so I gave it a try. *g*
I changed a few things and the word count is 121 -- so room for you to play a little more.

And, YES I'd be interested enough to want to read this book based on your original blurb -- even if it is 2 words too long. *lol*

i really liked it and it would make me want to read this story. The words i would take out is "he's good with that" near the end. While it shows his alpha male status, it doesn't flow into the next line for me. Hope this helps.
