Interview With GM's Hellish three-some & Giveaway


I had the pleasure of convincing Gracen Miller to let me interview her sexy Three-some Micah, Nix and Mads. What follows is quite the delicious sit-down chat.

Lindsey: I have the sexy trio from the "Road to Hell" series with me today. They were introduced in "Pandora’s Box" and on February 17th—tomorrow—their second story will be released in "Hell’s Phoenix".


-Madison: Thanks for having us, Lindsey. I’ll try to make the boys behave. *flashes teasing smile*


-Micah: Model citizen here. *winks at Lindsey*


-Nix: *ironic laugh* Model citizen in Hell.


-Micah: Lindsey, sweetheart, after the interview, I’d like to talk to you personally and in private about helping you perfect your favorite sins. *slow grin*

Lindsey: *twirls hair around a finger* I’ll think about it, Micah. Will you help me perfect the sin or one of your minions?

-Micah: Me of course.

Lindsey: *naughty grin* Then let’s get this interview started. This question is to all of you…who was your best friend when you were growing up?

-Nix: Gage. He’s more than my cousin. Took the place of big brother and became my best friend, too.


-Madison: Um…I didn’t have any friends. My dad discouraged friendships. Micah would’ve been the first friend I had.


-Micah: I’m still your friend, kitten.


-Madison: *raises eyebrows* Beg to differ, Micah. Friends are more loyal than you have been.


-Micah: Kitten, I’ve been loyal. Always been there even when you thought I wasn’t. As for  friends…Angels were my friends, had a bunch of them. But friends come and go. Brothers are the bedrock of my existence.

Lindsey: I believe him.

-Micah: Smart girl.

Lindsey: *at deafening silence from Nix and Madison, Lindsey clears her throat and continues the interview* What is your fondest memory?

-Nix: Woodworking with my dad and listening to my mom sing off-key while cooking dinner. *smiles* God, she couldn’t carry a tune.

-Madison: The day I gave birth to my son. That is the absolute best day of my life.

-Micah: Meeting our son was priceless. *nods* Nothing can prepare you for that instant connection to such a tiny life. Or the love that is so strong your chest physically aches from  it. After living millennia of years—more than a human can comprehend—I have a lot of moments to pick from. One that doesn’t revolve around Madison or Amos is when I stole my father’s Pyxis. It contained the blueprints for some of his most horrid creatures. *laughs* One of my finest victories there. I’d love to have seen his face when he realized I took it. He’d chosen not to use them, so I decided I would help myself to the chilling monsters inside. *eyes gleam fiery*


Lindsey: *blinks at Micah’s flamey eyes and rushes to the next question* What is your worst memory?

-Nix: Being forced to watch the murder of my father and the rape and murder of my mother. *clears throat and rubs eyes* At twelve, that does a number to your mental stability. I was crazy for a long time. Didn’t talk, was angry at the world. It’s a wonder Uncle James and Aunt Georgie put up with me.

-Madison: Family sticks with you through the tough times, Nix. *squeezes Nix’s arm*

-Nix: *nods without looking at her, but grabs her hand and laces his fingers with hers*

-Madison: *blinks rapidly and clears her throat* When the first guy who showed interest in me died after our first mini-date…absolutely one of the worst memories ever.

-Micah: My worst memory is when I realized Father loved humans more than us.

Lindsey: What is something you had to learn that you hated?

-Nix: Living without my parents.

-Madison: Discovering I was part succubus and my future had been planned for me, down to the minute detail. I’ve still not adjusted to that.

-Micah: *stretches legs out* Playing nice-nice with Father on occasion. I cannot bear to look at Him.


Lindsey: I bet that is hard to play nice-nice with someone you dislike that much. Madison, did Micah have any little quirks that aggravated you while you were married?

-Micah: Correction, sweetheart, we’re still married. And I’m near perfect—

-Madison: *nudges his arm* Allow me to answer. He drank out of the milk carton. Drove me nuts.

-Micah: I’d forgotten about that. *chuckles* She hated when I did that.

Lindsey: Does Nix have any quirks?

-Micah: He irritates me, does that count?

-Madison: No, it doesn’t, Micah. Hmm…*considers Nix a moment* He’s determined to save me at his own peril. But that’s not a minor thing like leaving the toilet seat up. *smiles* Nah…our relationship is too new for him to bug me yet. He sings in the shower and is a terrible dancer, but I think that’s adorable.

-Nix: *dimple flashing smile* Who did you say was near perfect, Micah? *points to self*

-Micah: Ugh…next question please. *makes a rolling gesture with his hand*

Lindsey: Micah and Nix, does Madison have any quirks that drive you crazy?

-Nix: Um…Mads never turns the lights off.

-Madison: *laughs* He’s right, I don’t. Nix is the light police, he turns them off for me.

-Nix: If I lose her in her humongous house, all I have to do is follow the light trail and I’ll eventually find her.

-Micah: My only complaint is Madison’s inability to accept her fate, as she should. *scratches jaw as he considers her* Her stubbornness is charming, but detrimental to her health.

Lindsey: Micah, do you have any special memory from your time with Madison…before you left her?

-Micah: There are many of them. *smiles dreamily* The day I met Madison. Our first kiss, first time we held hands…those little things are remarkable. Unforgettable. I can give you the exact date and time for each one of them. But a particular day stands out and it helped me through the lonely years without them in my life. On my birthday right before I left, I came home to Madison and Amos speckled with frosting. Amos had helped her make me a  birthday cake.

-Madison: *laughs* I remember. You wiped frosting off my nose and licked it off your thumb. You were grinning so big and it’d been a long time since I’d seen you truly happy. I was worried about him, so his reaction was a huge moment.

-Micah: *smiling, he nods* I wish you could’ve seen them, Lindsey. The two most important people in my life looked like they’d lost a fight with a bakery. The kitchen was in  chaos, flour everywhere, sugar spilled across the counter-tops and floor and icing—*chuckles*—the icing was everywhere. Not just on them, but on the cabinets, floor, counters…just everywhere. It was a mixture of blue and purple, so it stood out.

-Madison: Amos insisted on doing it all by himself. When I offered to help, he’d say, “No! Supies Daddy Bifday”, which was two-year-old speak for he wanted to “Surprise Daddy for his Birthday” by baking him a cake. *giggles* I couldn’t resist his enthusiasm…

-Micah: The cake was lopsided. My Madison made a lopsided cake. Can you believe that, Nix?

-Nix: She’s a rockstar chef.

-Madison: *shakes head* He exaggerates. I’m no chef. I just like to cook.

-Micah: *runs his knuckles down her arm* I couldn’t understand the mess until she recounted the events of the cake-baking process with Amos. She laughed so hard it must’ve taken her ten minutes to spit it all out. Amos kept interrupting her with his version, or a nod or squeal.

-Madison: Amos’s first attempt at using the blender spewed batter everywhere.

-Micah: The worst part…there were eggshells in the cake.*groans* Worst cake ever. But those two were priceless.*touches Madison’s chin* Thank you, kitten, for making me feel special.

-Madison: *shrugs* It was a good time.

Lindsey: Sounds like fun.

-Madison: It took me forever to get the icing out of our hair.

Lindsey: Did you eat the cake?

-Micah: Of course. I couldn’t let their hard work go to waste. And I’d rather forfeit my kingdom than disappoint Amos.

-Madison: *dies laughing* I could hear the eggshells crunching as he ate it. I felt so bad for him. Micah was a good sport about it and he never let on that the cake was awful…just awful.Amos went to bed talking about how he surprised his daddy.Good times…*glances at Micah and smile dies away*

-Micah: They’re not over, kitten. *grasps her free hand and places a kiss against her wrist*

-Madison: *looks away uncomfortably and tugs her hands out of both men’s grasps*

Lindsey: Final question…what would you wish for if you found a genie bottle?

-Micah: *laughs* I invented genies. Tricky demons that have served me well.

-Nix: Playing along…I’d wish Micah bye-bye.

-Micah: It doesn’t work that way. And if you wished me to go away, you’d never have met  Madison.

-Nix: *rubs nape* Can’t argue with that.

-Madison: Hmm…whatever I wished for might change something I wouldn’t want altered. Knowing genies are demonic, I’d probably just bury it in cement in a safe location so no one would be tricked by the creature inside.

-Micah: That’s very practical, kitten.

-Madison: *cheeky grin* You were the most insensible decision I made and we know how that turned out.

-Micah: Ouch.

-Nix: Good one, baby. Hit below the belt.

 Pandora’s Box Blurb:

Where does the road to Hell begin?

What happens when your son turns homicidal overnight and your husband disappears on his way to work? Do you cower in fear or fight for your life? Madison Wescott fights against the odds. Distrustful of a God she doesn't believe in, she finds herself face-to-face with a world she didn't know existed and discovers her own soul is darkened with demonic connections.

With good intentions? Or by demonic design?

Phoenix Birmingham bursts into Madison’s life in a whirlwind of sarcasm and sexual appeal. A hero for the masses—and for her jaded heart—but few will ever know the sacrifices he has made or the sacrifices to come. Discovering her entire life has been influenced by multifaceted paranormal beings, Madison is determined to defeat the apocalyptic blueprint fate has decreed, but only one man dares to challenge the supernatural forces manipulating them. Even with Phoenix's aid, can destiny be denied? Or will demonic design prevail while they pay the crucial price with their souls?

In a small, sleepy Alabama town the battle for mankind's liberty has begun...


Hell's Phoenix Blurb:

Hell’s become more than just a playground for the wicked…

Going to Hell was supposed to save Madison, but knowing she’s dead because of his failure leaves Nix with only one thing to live for. Revenge. With Micah’s help he learns to use his Messianic power. Anything for Mads has become his mantra, even if it means killing innocents to gather the power he needs to succeed. A tsunami he unleashes on a Gulf Coast city is stopped with magical interference, and Nix is more than surprised to feel Madison in the opposing magic. Can he and Micah set a trap to lure her out?

Pandora’s Box…once you open it, there’s no turning back!

Madison has done the unthinkable, opened Pandora’s Box to save Nix from Hell. And failed. She’s willing to risk her own life to rescue Nix, but she worries about the welfare of her accomplice in the mission and leaving her son behind. Following up on a lead, she’s ambushed by Nix and Micah. Shocked and hurt to discover Nix has become a willing participant of Hell, she’s more certain than ever she won’t escape the demonic fate her husband outlined for her. While in Hell, she discovers denying the emergence of her succubus is futile, which means getting Nix out of Hell after embracing her inner demon just became a very real dilemma…

Review for Pandora's Box by Gracen Miller

Description: Where does the road to Hell begin?

What happens when your son turns homicidal overnight and your husband disappears on his way to work? Do you cower in fear or fight for your life? Madison Wescott fights against the odds. Distrustful of a God she doesn't believe in, she finds herself face-to-face with a world she didn't know existed and discovers her own soul is darkened with demonic connections.

Phoenix Birmingham bursts into Madison’s life in a whirlwind of sarcasm and sexual appeal.

Discovering her entire life has been influenced by multifaceted paranormal beings, Madison is determined to defeat the apocalyptic blueprint fate has decreed, but only one man dares to challenge the supernatural forces manipulating them. Even with Phoenix's aid, can destiny be denied? Or will demonic design prevail while they pay the crucial price with their souls?

In a small, sleepy Alabama town the battle for mankind's liberty has begun... 

My Thoughts: Gracen Miller brought her “Road to Hell” Series in with a bang! 
Madison has quite a predicament on her hands when her 5 year old son Amos starts killing not only their animals, but also the neighbors. He even goes as far as attacking her. How could her son be a typical little boy one day and then pure evil the next? Let me tell you this kid gives a new meaning to cringe worthy. Madison isn't about to give up on her little boy though and after numerous try's for help, she finally gets Georgie, who sends in the cavalry via the Birminghams.

Phoenix, also known as Nix, is an infamous man whore to his family who develops a mutual attraction with Madison. Uncharacteristic of his reputation, Nix finds he respects Madison too much to “hit it and quit it” while Madison finds out not only is she currently married to the king of hell but part demon as well. 

This story was insane! I loved it from beginning to the end. As I stated, Amos in the beginning was cringe 
worthy, but you root for Mads as she tries to help her son. Eventually Amos chooses the good side over the evil. Mads is beautiful, and reserved, but soon her inner kick-ass appears with a side of sass. I fell in love with the whole Birmingham family with all their sarcastic,  Sherlock abilities. 

Micah, who is Mr. “King of Hell” himself, made me want to cringe at times, but then there would be an instance that  I would think I could see a soft side to him, but only a smidgen, like at the end. 

Nix and Mads had me growling from time to time just because I knew how much they were meant to be, but were fighting it, except in an all important moment before a trip to hell. There you see what they may be like in bed. 

The ending had me at the edge of my seat in anticipation to see what is going to happen next. I have to say I loved this book. When you’re waiting for a book for so long, you always wonder if you will love it or if it wasn't worth the wait. This was sooooooo worth the wait until I had it in my hand. All in all, Gracen Miller took us for one Hell of a ride and I’m sure it’s only the beginning...

So strap in and hang on, because you’re in for an adventure to Hell itself...Are you ready to SIN?

Review for Fairy Casanova

Title : Fairy Casanova
Author: Gracen Miller
Description: Sadie has hit rock bottom. A high-powered attorney on the fast-track to creating a name, she bet everything on one case and lost big. Bankrupt, with her professional reputation ruined, and her fiancé yachting about Aruba with a hot babe, she's desperate for a break from reality. She arranges a one-nighter with a complete stranger through Madame Evangeline's high-end dating service, 1NightStand. A fairy isn't what she expected to hook-up with, but how can she be disappointed when royalty turns into the only king of sex she'll ever want?

In less than a week, Jace is about to become king of the fairies, but he's enamored with humans. Before his coronation, he wants to fulfill his sexual fantasies in the human realm. With a limited timeline, he schedules a liaison with a stranger through 1NightStand.com. Sadie intrigues him with her competing reserved and salacious vibes. After a night of stellar sex, Jace offers Sadie a permanent place in his life as his queen. Will she forfeit her life in the human realm to accept his offer?
Summary: Whats a girl to do after a month of everything going wrong? Well the answer came so clear to Sadie after seeing a note on her assistants desk, which turned out to be a site that offers one night stands. As she gets to the hotel, she is nervous, then her date arrives. Sadie is confused at first cause he doesnt match the requirements she'd selected, but also completely responsive to him at the same time. Jace has always had a thing for humans, but in a week he will have to let it go and become the king of the fairies. So why not have one last hoorah before he can no longer feel a human's touch? Jace tells Sadie he is a fairy. She thinks he's gone off the deep end till he proves it. Sadie draws him like no other. Within minutes of her oh so responsive reactions to his ministrations of pleasure, he feels a deeper connection, that of a mate. 
My Thoughts: Gracen Miller has one smokin hot sexy read here. I have to say, i was wishing i knew a fairy man just from reading this short story. Give me a guy with wings any day, or maybe i can attach some to a guy. Not only was Gracen's story sexy, but there was also some humor there, and you can relate to the main character. After all, who hasn't had a bad week or month? I have to say, this was one steamy ride I did not want to get off. And if there are any fairy men, please find me *winks*  I'm definitely looking forward to more of  Miller's work. This is one read you will want to pick up and make sure you read it at night. 
Cost: 3.99
