Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Amanda and her Wicked Passion!
Hello everyone! I’m Amanda J. Greene, a paranormal romance author from Southern California. I’ve been writing for the past ten years and I’m happy to share my latest release with you all today, Wicked Passion (Under Realm Assassins #3). Let’s get started!
If writing is your first passion, what is your second?
Writing is my calling, but I do love cooking. My husband and I host many parties at our home – every Sunday during football season our place is packed. He and his friends can eat a lot, which works perfectly for me since I find it nearly impossible to not cook for an army.
Okay, you’re casting the movie version of your novel – who would you choose for the main characters? We’re talking dream cast.
Katya: Jessica Lowndes
James: Robbie Amell
What is the theme of this book? If it’s part of a series, how does this book fit into the series?
Wicked Passion is a paranormal romance novella centered on James (vampire/assassin/former pirate) and Katya (dark aura succubus with insane power) and is the third installment within the Under Realm Assassins series. This book introduces a handful of characters that will all eventually have their own stories.
Why do you write what you write?
I write paranormal romance because the possibilities are endless. I’ve always been fascinated by the magical/mythical aspects that go hand-in-hand with paranormal themed works.
What do you want your readers to take away from your books?
Thought my books focus on paranormal creatures, I try to make my characters as relatable and real as possible. I hope that readers feel connected to the story and become invested in the romance.

A sneak peek between the pages of Wicked Passion.
He was too strong, too tantalizing. Forbidden. She could find another source. One not so threatening, tame. Surely, he could take her to a city where she could steal bits of energy from others. Happiness, laughter, contentment, love, she could leech off any positive aura. She’d survived doing just that within her tribe. None dared to touch her, or directly interact with her unless they required her healing gifts, so she’d been left to feed off scraps of emotion and energy.
She flattened her palms against his chest and tried in vain to push him away. Her cheeks heated in embarrassment, she was pathetically weak. “I—”
“Need me.” His rich voice was roughened with passion.
Katya trembled with yearning. Oh, yes, she needed. But would he demand she surrender? Could she? He was a vampire, an immortal immune to magic, invincible. Perhaps with him, she could let go. She could find pleasure. She could be herself, completely, like never before. He wasn’t like anyone else. He could withstand her darkness. He could match her cravings.
As if reading her thoughts, his hard bronze gaze swirled with challenge, hunger, and untamable lust. “Kiss me as if you want to live.”
“I do.” Her claws sharpened, the tips sliced his shirt and pricked his flesh. “I will.”
She claimed his mouth possessively, her tongue twining his until he groaned for more and took it. His hand clamped on the back of her nape, his grip tightened, holding her still as he slanted his head and deepened the kiss.
Long forgotten sensation rocked her. This powerful male was the embodiment of temptation and danger—irresistibly addictive.
He shifted as if to move away and dread lanced her. A harsh growl escaped her lips. Did he intend to end the kiss? No! She needed this. Needed him.
Katya wound her arms around his waist. Holding him captive, she arched against him, pressing her breasts to his solid chest, the contact delicious, perfect—right.
His mental shields lowered even more and lust battered her senses. Katya unleashed her magic and pleasure slammed into her. His. Hers. She didn’t know where one ended and the other began. It didn’t matter. Nothing mattered. His origins and her past of no consequence.
The first draw of his power hit her like a cannon, devastating her weakened body, leaving her a trembling mess of tingles and shivers. Good Lady, she’d never known anything like this. Never tasted so much strength. Her body hummed, her blood sizzled, her magic burned and her soul soared. On and on, intense vitality coursed through her, consuming, dizzying. She never wanted this connection to end.
Brazenly, seeking, demanding more of his desire, she stroked her tongue across one of his fangs. He stilled. Was he waiting for her to do it again? Did he want her to draw blood? The idea made her head spin.
Katya caressed his other fang. He groaned into her mouth and his large frame shook—from pleasure or restraint?
It was wonderful having you with us today. Please feel free to stop by anytime. Good Luck with Wicked Passion!
