Quick Six with Christina Phillips
Please welcome Christina Phillips to the Quick Six! Christina’s book, Forbidden, is out now with Berkley Heat – and she’s offering a copy to one lucky commenter! So be sure to answer her question in the comments section to be included in the drawing.
Forbidden
He was a master of seduction – but no match for the magical allure of the woman he wanted most…
Carys knew from the moment she first spied on Maximus in his naked barbarian glory that he was a
dangerous Roman centurion – his taut, battle-scarred flesh marking him as a fearless warrior. But her desire for him was as undeniable as it was illicit.
Charged by his emperor to eliminate a clan of powerful Druids in Britain, Maximus never expects his mission to be thwarted by the clan’s ethereal princess, Carys, his daring voyeur. Falling under her spell, he doesn’t realize her true heritage – until he captures her heart as well as her body.
As Carys’s loyalties are twisted, and freedom is no longer her single-minded obsession, an avenging former lover threatens to crush Maximus’s people into oblivion. Now Carys and Maximus must overcome the devastation of war and face the ultimate sacrifice if their forbidden love is to survive.
Plotter or Pantzer?
Pantzer, except when I need to hammer out proposals. But then I go back to pantzing…
Alpha, beta or gamma?
Tough warrior alphas.Historical or Contemporary?
Ancient historical, with warrior heroes, magical heroines and gods and goddesses who have no intention of fading into obscurity
Light or Dark?
Dark, gritty, raw and primal. I like it dirty
Horizontal or vertical?
Er, yes please?Wall-E or Finding Nemo?
Finding Nemo without a doubt!!! I’ve watched that movie so many times and it never fails to crack me up. I can speak whale too!!!
My Question for Blog Readers: Clive Owen or Gerard Butler?
Christina Phillips has always loved writing, and while her efforts in eighth grade usually involved space ships, time travel and unfortunate endings, as soon as she discovered romance novels a whole new world opened up. She now writes ancient historical romances about strong heroines and gorgeous warrior heroes who, no matter how torturous the journey, are guaranteed a happily-ever-after. Christina was born in the United Kingdom, but now lives in sunny Western Australia with her real-life hero and their three children.
Hi, Christina! Congratulations on “Forbidden”–I’d love to read the story of Maximus!
What a delightful question for we blog readers! With all respect to Mr. Owen, there is no other like Mr. Butler!!! GB does it for me : )
My pick would have to be Gerard Butler, I just think he’s really attractive. Although Maximus might be my next crush.
Thanks for the congratulations, Virginia! LOL, I’m happy for you to have GB, as I don’t much like sharing my darling Clive!!!
Most definitely GB!
Hi Linda! Gerard Butler is gorgeous (though I am on Team Clive
) But I have to agree about crushing on Maximus!!! Especially with those biceps!!
Hi Scorpio M! OOh it looks like I’ll have no competition when it comes to Clive Owen!!!
Tough question they are both smokin’ hot but Gerry get my vote for sure! Thanks for sharing with us!
Hi Christina. Forbidden sounds great. Gerard Butler would be my choice.
Hon — you know I couldn’t stay away from that question, and you already know my answer. While Clive is fine, Gerry is grade A prime! He’s my number one hunk for sure. Oh, and I love Finding Nemo, too
.
Between the two… Gerard Butler gets my vote. I really like the sound of FORBIDDEN! Historicals are what got me hooked on reading!
Gerard Butler, please! And if you could bring him to me right out of P.S. I Love You, that would be great
I’m am so excited about this book and will do a very scary happy dance if I win–but don’t let that stop the number randomizer from picking me…LOL. I am addicted to the tv show Rome and was just waiting for someone to realize what a great time period that would be for a book. Yours sounds absolutely amazing!
And that’s a very hard question to answer. They’re both gorgeous. Since I have to pick one, I’ll go with Gerard Butler…because of his body and accent.
Hi Johanna and CrystalGB thanks for stopping by! Another two votes for Gerry!!! Well I’m not complaining, I wouldn’t want to tire Clive out!!!
LOL Helen, I know Gerry is your #1!!! And yay another Finding Nemo fan!!
Hi Colleen, thank you! Yes, thinking back historicals hooked me on reading too. And another vote for Gerry!!!
Hi Chelsea! I have to agree, Gerard was lovely in P.S. I Love You. I’ll see what I can do!!!
Hi Joder, thanks so much! I think this time period is awesome, so much juicy conflict (not to mention hot warriors!!)Gerard’s accent is to die for, there’s something very seductive about a Scottish accent!
Congrats on your release!
I have to go with Clive Owen, loved him since those BMW films/commercials.
That’s a simple question with only one answer… Gerard Butler!! He has such a sexy smile.
Hi cories5, thank you for the congrats! And YAY! We have a vote for Clive!!!
Hi Kirsten, Gerard has a very sexy smile!!
Congrats on your debut release, Christina. I would go with Clive. I’ve been a fan since I saw him on “Second Sight,” a British series.
Thank you for the congrats, Jane! And another Clive fan, hooray!!!
LOL! Well, I wouldn’t kick either of them out of bed for eating crackers, Christina
I guess I’d go with Clive if push came to shove.
Congrats on Forbidden! I really like the sounds of the story, and will definitely be adding it to the TBB!
Thank, Fedora! LOL I have to agree, I’d definitely put up with a few crumbs in the bed if they also came with Clive!!
