Sizzling PR: Claiming Their Cat - Maggie O'Malley - Interview

Rio Wolff has found his mate, and she’s carrying another man’s child, not that it makes a difference to a werewolf. Cat’s running from the bastard, and only he can save her. It would help if she’d stop trying to run away every time he turns his back.

Creed Wolff gazes at the beauty standing in his kitchen and wonders why Rio has broken the rule never to bring a female home. She’s Creed’s mate so he can forgive his brother. Now he needs to replace Rio’s scent with his.

Cat can’t believe she lets both brothers pleasure her. Finally, she’s found a place where she feels safe, protected, and loved. But her world crashes when she finds out they have sold her to Alvarez.

Hi Maggie! Thank you so much for taking the time to interview with me today!

I just finished your book, Claiming Their Cat, and I was impressed! It has a kind of gritty sensual feel to it that I really enjoyed. What can you tell us about this book that isn’t part of the synopsis?

Hi Liz. Thanks for hosting me today. This book is about 1 woman and 2 brothers. It’s about making difficult choices, learning to trust, and betrayal. Oh yeah, it has hot sex.

I really loved Rio. He had so many layers, and he was full of surprises. Sure, he was a mercenary with a brick wall for a body, but his heart was even bigger. So who could play him in a movie?

Hugh Jackman would work. I bet everyone thought I’d say Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black,) but he’s a little too young for my tastes. Jason Statham has a great bod. Chris Hemsworth from Thor. Maybe Ryan Renolds. Hum, I think I’d pick Hugh for Rio and Chris for Creed (drooling.)

In Claiming Their Cat, we get a glimpse of how Cat became the object of Alvarez’s attention. And then Brody is born, and there is some speculation on his future (trying to be a bit vague here to not ruin the surprise for the readers!). Do you see a sequel or a prequel in the future for this book?

That depends on if Brody starts talking to me. I’ve honestly never planned to write a particular story. I wake up and bam! It’s on my brain with the hero and heroine telling me what I’m supposed to write.

This book has both werewolves and vampires, do you have a favorite breed of paranormal?

I’m a werewolf fanatic because I love wolves. They are beautiful creatures that move with grace and purpose. They’re strong and powerful. Now don’t get me wrong; vampires can be all that too, but I’m just attracted to wolves. To me, it’s easier to write werewolves instead of vampires because of that whole sleep when the sun sets thing.

How do you go about writing a book? Like, do you construct an outline, or do the words just come out? Something else entirely?

I dream the first chapter with my characters and how they meet. Most of the time I don’t even know who the bad guy is. I have no plan; I just write what the characters tell me to, which is a good thing, because when I have all the answers, it’s not fun anymore. The puzzle is solved, and other characters are invading my sleep.

Are you working on any other projects, what can we expect from you for 2012?

This year, I plan to publish Taming Raven from my Kitty DuCane pen name. Then I’m starting a new series about 7 brothers who are werewolf/hybrids—the best of both worlds and no sleeping restrictions. The characters for the first two books are already talking to me.

Ok, some quick fire questions…

Day or night? Day.

Do you like candy, and what kind? Chocolate and more chocolate with chocolate on top.

Favorite season?

Summer because I love the lake.

Favorite book genre?

Erotic Paranormal.

Favorite movie?

The Mummy with Brendon Fraser and Rachel Weisz.

Thank you so much, Maggie, for taking the time today. I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading more from you in the future!

Claiming Their Cat

Maggie O'Malley

From Goodreads:

Cat Watson managed to escape from the powerful drug lord Alvarez and right into the hands of the notorious killer—Rabid Rio. Rio promises to protect her and her baby if she becomes his mistress. With no money, what choice did she have? Then Rio's brother, Creed, shows up and vows his protection too. She finally feels safe, that she belongs only to discover they’ve betrayed her.

*****Review*****

Wow, what an interesting twist on …everything! Rio is werewolf. A hot, built, sexy, lethal mercenary werewolf. He’s a loner, in a big huge way. There are plenty of stories about Rio and the kills he’s done for money. Rio is someone to be reckoned with. You don’t mess with Rio. So when he is in his friend’s diner having a cup of coffee, and obviously an obviously distressed woman named Cat comes in, he takes notice. And when some goons who work for drug lord Alvarez come in looking for her, he takes bigger notice. Oh, and let’s not forget she is pregnant, and no one really knows exactly whose baby it is!

“An eighteen wheeler skidded to a stop outside the diner, and a small woman threw herself from the cab, surely she wasn’t the cause of his uneasiness. Anything was possible since women were nothing but a pain in the ass.”

Haha! What a quote!! But that sums up Rio. So he was the last person you’d expect to fall for a woman. But fall he did. He rescues Cat, even if she is too stubborn and untrusting to see it. She tries to escape, multiple times. And ahem, that’s not the only thing she does multiple times.

This was a really good story. You have a lot of factors during it that really grab your interest. There is the slimy drug lord Alvarez, who is trying to get Cat back. You have Rio who realizes Cat is his mate, so he is fiercely protective of her – except he’s yet to tell her that! Then in walks Creed, sexy fine brother of Rio, who happens to be a military sniper. He realizes Cat is his mate too.

What?!!? Two werewolves find a mate in the same woman?? Yep!! That’s what I said. What a big twist on a werewolf story. Maggie O’Malley did a fine job of illustrating how it would work too. And this is where I would insert my big wink so you know I mean there is definitely more than what I can tell you in this review. There is some kink in nearly every intimate scene in this book. The developing relationship between the three of these people definitely warrants the Publishers warning. However, if you dig some major heat in your romance, then this will definitely spark your fire!

So what else is in this book? Well, there is a seer, and she is always right. Oh, and vampires. Vampires that are freakishly awesome!! Mainly, his name is Draco. Draco is bad ass! He can do all kinds of mind trickery and other magical things that you don’t see too often in vampire stories. I just loved him. He is suave and cool, and I totally hope he gets a book of his own someday!

I think the author did a really good job with this story, and I’d definitely recommend it. There were a few things that bothered me – like Cat’s stubbornness to see what an awesome position she landed in. But that was her personality, and I guess you aren’t supposed to get mad at a fictional character because you don’t agree with their decisions. Because we never do that, right?? Heheh. Overall I really enjoyed all of the characters. They were written very well and you felt their emotions and their struggles were your own. The story had an urgency to it, and you knew the clock was ticking. It was an exciting and interesting read, and I think you should give it a chance!
