Character Interview - Rise for Me by Kristal Dawn Harris #PNR #ParanormalRomance


INTERVIEW WITH ROMAN LEE – Hero of Rise for Me

1. Why did you leave Romania?

“Gypsies like to roam, and I don’t think you need a history lesson today.” 

2. Why a carnival?

“I’m like a kid….lights and stuffed animals.  I’m kidding. The carnival fit the bill for a vampire who wants to hide and travel. Plus, I’m able to provide a home for those who don’t fit in anywhere else.” 

3. So, do you eat cotton candy and caramel apples? 

Roman’s deep laugh dominates the room. “The caramel sticks to my fangs, and cotton candy makes my stomach hurt.”

4. What’s your favorite ride? 

“The Haunted House, of course.” 

5. And Mariah’s?

Roman leans in, “Me. I’m her favorite ride.”

6. Mariah seems like such a sweetheart to have broken a vampire’s heart?

“I’m a sensitive vampire who gets his feelings hurt easy, and Mariah is a brute. Don’t tell her I said that though.”

7. I’m assuming a vampire has a childhood, so can you tell me who your favorite carnival character was?

Roman crosses one booted foot over his knee and leans back in his chair with a wicked grin. “Dumbo. Who could resist those floppy ears? I slept with a stuffed animal, in the dirt, for a few years. My mom was always complaining about washing it.” Roman waves one hand. 

“Besides, the different is my thing.”

8. Are there many vampires in this world?

“More than you could imagine. The vampire is everywhere. We are just shy.”

9. That’s a troubling thought.

“Don’t let it be. We don’t need as much blood as you think to survive, we usually don’t kill, and we are a picky bunch.”

10. Could I possibly be a vampire’s mate?

Roman’s gaze turns serious under the dim lights and his green eyes brighten. “He could be waiting for you this very night.”

Book Description:  

Vampire and warlock, Roman Lee, spent centuries alone as ringmaster of the carnival. After befriending and healing a scarred, young woman, Roman realizes Mariah is his mate. He waits for her, but when she departs from his life, his torture knows no bounds. Now he's risen, unforgiving and angry, forced from his grave by the one woman who captured his heart, but will another secret and the call of his mate change everything?

The steady call of Roman's blood and the promise of peace brings Mariah Stone home to the carnival and the vampire she left behind. He ignores her until she forces him from the grave with her blood. His anger crushes her already broken spirit, but she is determined to win Roman's forgiveness and free him from their bond. Denied passion leads them down a path of magic and desire, while a devastating secret threatens eternal love.

Excerpt 2 (PG):

Mariah stopped directly over where she knew Roman rested. Her own blood surged in her veins every time she stepped on the worn plank. She tilted her head, listening to the call of his blood and the beat of his heart. Lizzie said he wasn’t feeding as much as he should, so there was one sure way to bring Roman out of his grave. She searched the room for something sharp until her gaze landed on a small, jeweled pocketknife. She grabbed it off the table and pulled the blade out of its slot. It was dull, but it would work.

Mariah placed the small blade against her left palm, then held it over the spot where she knew Roman rested. With one downward swipe, the blade pierced her flesh, opening a one-inch gash. Blood poured from the wound and dripped onto the rough, wooden floor planks. She crouched and held her palm over the crack between the boards, making sure the blood reached Roman. With a deep breath, she gathered her courage as her blood continued to splatter in droplets between the planks. The room seemed to groan, and every trinket vibrated when she finally called to the other half of her soul in a loud, demanding voice. “Rise for me, Roman Lee.”
